Chapter 132: Quick stick it back
On the endless black plains, a rusty, black broadsword was embedded deep into the ground, only revealing a mottled sword handle and a bit of the sword’s rust-covered blade.
This sword did not look much different from ordinary broadswords. The degree of rust prevented the blade from looking sharp at all.
However, Shi Xiaobai was extremely certain that it was this sword that kept calling out the word “save”.
This was because when he reached out his right hand to tightly grip the black broadsword’s hilt, the voice that went straight to his heart turned eager and delighted, as though it was eager for Shi Xiaobai to pull it out from the hard earth.
“What are you doing!?”
A hoarse and cold voice sounded from up above.
Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw the bat, Mos, coldly looking down at him from mid air.
“Pulling the sword.” Shi Xiaobai nonchalantly responded. His eyes landed back on the rusty, black broadsword. The lone black sword that was embedded alone in this desolate lands gave him an intense desire. He wanted to pull it out and give it freedom.
Shi Xiaobai’s hand began to use strength as he pulled hard at it.
“Don’t waste your strength.”
Mos’ hoarse voice was without emotion. The black sword had been embedded in the black plains for eons. This “Underworld” had seen the changes of numerous Underworld Kings, but no one had been able to pull it out.
“Don’t waste your time. It’s impossible for you…”
Just as Mos’ said with an impatient voice, he suddenly stopped as his pupils dilated while he looked with utter disbelief.
This was because Shi Xiaobai had already pulled out the black broadsword.
It was as though Shi Xiaobai had pulled out a straw from the fields, completely pulling out the black broadsword from the black lands effortlessly!
“That’s impossible!” Mos hissed. At this moment, the lands suddenly began to tremble violently!
At the same time, the dark purple sky seemed to dissolve like a painting. The three scarlet moons also began to tremble, as though three hanging balls were being rocked suddenly.
Deafening sounds sounded from every corner of the black lands. Roars, hisses, screams that were filled with fear, madness and anger…
“Quick stick the sword back!”
Mos exclaimed and flew to Shi Xiaobai while producing a swooping sound. However, just as he flew midway, he was forcibly repelled by an invisible force.
The quaking ground began to crack open, revealing bottomless ravines. The procession that ran through most of the lands continued to proceed forward in their orderly fashion. As such, one after another of the unaware members of the procession fell into the deep ravine. As for the cracks in the lands, it was slowly crawling everywhere, as though the entire land was about to split apart.
The dark purple sky also began to melt. One of the scarlet moons also suddenly exploded.
Thunder roared in the sky as the grounds began to issue roaring screams. It was as though the world was ushering in the apocalypse.
“No!”
Mos sent out a tearing voice filled with terror from his throat. He charged crazily at Shi Xiaobai once again, but he was repelled again and again by the invisible energy. He could only raise his head and issue a helpless but horrible roar.
But at this moment, everything suddenly turned quiet. The cracking land stopped its quaking and cracking. The sky that was about to melt into grayness completely solidified. The two scarlet moons that were trembling to the point of exploding also calmed down. The thundering from the sky and the roaring from the lands also came to a sudden halt.
It was if a pause button had been pressed at that very instant.
Mos was startled as he lowered his head to see Shi Xiaobai having stuck the black broadsword back into the ground.
