Chapter 120: Bai Xiaofei’s Crisis (1/2)
“Lightning Execution!”
During this intense moment, a dazzling, white radiance descended from the sky. Bai Xiaofei only perceived a flash before his eyes and a humming sound within his ears before he became senseless. Shortly after, he began to slowly recover his sight. Before him, the scorched-black Heart Devourer slowly turned to ash then scattered into the air. Concurrently, a familiar voice entered his ears.
“Stinky brat, you’ve really got guts, eh? You dare ignore the academy rules and enter the depths of the Infinite Mountain Range?”
Lei Shan’s voice held a trace of anger, yet when Bai Xiaofei heard it, he had a sudden urge to cry.
Hell yeah! I don’t have to die after all!
“Grandpa! You are finally here!”
It had indeed crossed Bai Xiaofei’s mind that Xue Ying would call over Lei Shan. He never expected, however, that Lei Shan would be so slow that Bai Xiaofei would think for sure he would die. He prepared to whine to Lei Shan, but then...
“Watch out!” Xing’s voice rang from behind him, making him instinctively turn.
Before Bai Xiaofei could figure out what was happening, a red flash entered his mouth. He clutched his throat and rolled on the ground for a long time; nevertheless, he still swallowed the pearl with a gulp.
“Holy shit!”
After realizing what had just flown into his mouth, Bai Xiaofei dug his fingers into his throat. Unfortunately, even after vomiting his breakfast and lunch, the pearl was still nowhere to be seen.
Imagining the Heart Devourer regenerating within his stomach was enough to make Bai Xiaofei start vomiting again. Unfortunately, his stomach was completely empty by now. Nothing came out during this new round of vomiting.
Lei Shan had initially planned to teach Bai Xiaofei a harsh lesson, but when he saw what happened, he ran anxiously to Bai Xiaofei. He hadn’t foreseen this sudden development. He knew about the Heart Devourer, and based on his understanding, his earlier attack should have been enough to annihilate it. He had therefore momentarily dropped his guard, but from the looks of it, he had been too careless.
“What’s going on?” Lei Shan asked nervously. Bai Xiaofei was someone he looked favorably upon. If anything bad were to happen to him, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself – forget the fact that Revelation wouldn’t let him off.
Bai Xiaofei still felt disgusted by what he had previously imagined. “I am—”
After only two words, a sharp pain suddenly assaulted his mind. The sensation, like ten thousand needles stabbing into his brain, caused him to collapse to the ground for a second time.
“It hurts! It hurts so badly!” Bai Xiaofei howled. The pain this time was worse than when he had activated Lunisolar Brilliance for the first time.
Lei Shan, upon seeing him like this, further panicked. He crouched beside Bai Xiaofei and placed a hand on him. But the moment he touched Bai Xiaofei, an unknown energy repelled his hand, interrupting his attempt to check what was happening within Bai Xiaofei’s body.
“How is this possible?” It was the first time Lei Shan had experienced something like this. Based on their strength differences, there was no way he couldn't send his origin energy into Bai Xiaofei’s body.
With great difficulty, Bai Xiaofei resisted the pain and weakly called out to Lei Shan. “Grand...grandpa…”
“How are you feeling? What’s going on?”
Instead of answering Lei Shan’s question, Bai Xiaofei struggled to say something that had temporarily stunned Lei Shan: “Let…let Xing and Hong…off…”
The very next second, Bai Xiaofei stopped his painful struggle and lay silently on the ground like a corpse…
Both Xing and Hong dragged their badly injured bodies over to Bai Xiaofei. Their concern for him far exceeded their fear of Lei Shan.
