10 Chapter 10 – Saving the Damsel in Distress (2/2)

The young girl looked like she was around 16 years old. Her appearance could be considered beautiful, but when you looked at her face, she gave an aura of innocence and kindness. It gave a nice charm to her. He searched his memory and realised that she is Bai Ling, third princess of the Bai clan, one of the five prominent clans of Qinglu city.

But currently the young girl was fuming in anger. She angrily shouted at the young man ”Cai Guo, you bastard. You said we will work together to get the treasure and you tricked us into walk into this demon beast. Don't even think I will ever let you get away with this.”

Cai Guo laughed loudly and sarcastically replied, ”Since the young princess didn't need our help we will be on our way.”

The group belonging to the young man, Cai Guo walked towards the small hill that was behind the warthog.

Zhu Xuan looked at the young woman's group who is struggling against the warthog. He couldn't let the group die. He just couldn't help it, whenever he heard of betrayal there is a twinge in his heart and reminded of his sister's betrayal. Moreover, they are from the same city so he decided to help them.

He looked at the situation. The young woman Bai Ling and the middle aged man protecting her are slightly wounded where as the three people fighting the warthog directly is heavily injured. All three of them are in eighth stage of body purification, while the middle aged man protecting Bai Ling is at the ninth stage of body purification.

Then he observed the young woman closely. She is at the seventh stage of body purification, but what surprised him was she was using a bow and arrow and the arrow is made of ice; she has an ice elemental root and she is using it to form an arrow and attack the warthog.

He decided he shouldn't wait and he changed his face and body by modifying his bones using the technique and moved towards the direction of the fight.

Bai Ling was depressed. She just realised how naive she was, trusting another group from another city, even though her uncle advised her against it. Now she got herself into such a terrible situation which resulted in losing half of their group and the rest of them are not in any good condition.

She knocked another ice arrow to attack the warthog. It hit in its face but didn't too much damage. Its hide was too thick, but the attack angered it. It charged towards Bai Ling, the other three tried to block it. But it flung its horn and threw all three away, and charged close to Bai Ling.

Her uncle pushed her away and attacked it head on. But it was too fast and strong and flung the middle aged man. He flew far away and fell down, not moving his life or death unknown. The Warthog turned around and again charged towards Bai Ling. She didn't even have time to steady herself and get up.

Just when she thought she was going to die for sure, a fireball came from nowhere and hit the warthog on its side. This changed its direction a bit and it ran past Bai Ling from her side. Before she could even realise what is going on, a shadow ran past her towards the Warthog.

The shadow is Zhu Xuan; he ran towards the warthog and hit its face with another fireball. It charged towards him, but he sidestepped and formed a sword from his fire Qi and slashed at its side. It injured the warthog and it bled. It got angry and charged towards him again with more ferociousness. This time he threw two fireballs at its face, sidestepped and formed fire Qi chains and threw it towards the front legs of Warthog.

It buckled and fell down on the side and slides heavily on the ground. The force of it threw Zhu Xuan twenty metres in air who was on the other end of the chain. He dissipated the fire Qi chain, made a fire Qi spear in the air and plunged down directly towards it face.

He shouted loudly, used his own full force and the gravity to plunge the spear directly in its eyes and straight into its brain. It twitched for a few moments and died.

Bai Ling looked at this scene, shocked and dazed at how he saved her and killed the warthog effortlessly. Zhu Xuan dissipated the fire Qi spear, got off the head of the dead Warthog and walked towards Bai Ling.

He extended his hands towards Bai Ling to let her get up, and asked with a smile, ”Are you alright?”
