Chapter 263 : You Rock, Highgod! 13 (1/2)

Shi Sheng’s attacks were brutal—she’d attack without caring whether the point was vital or not, so where her attacks would land was unpredictable. Those with slow reaction speeds would be completely unable to put up any type of resistance.

Dong Jing hadn’t been planning on seriously fighting back against Shi Sheng. At first, he’d only made a few perfunctory counterattacks.

But he quickly found out that she was playing for keeps; she wasn’t holding back at all.

He had no choice but to take her attacks seriously.

Though the sword in her hand appeared to be a normal sword, there was a terrifying force behind her every attack. In fact, it was no worse than his Black Demon.

……

Shi Sheng managed to win the clash by a narrow margin. Dong Jing retreated into the distance and called for a ceasefire.

Shi Sheng hadn’t been planning on killing Dong Jing in the first place, so she lowered her sword once Dong Jing surrendered.

“That sword of yours…” Dong Jing stared at the sword in Shi Sheng’s hand. He had never heard of such a powerful sword’s existence before.

“God-Killer,” Shi Sheng aloofly tossed out a name.

The pitiful sword that once again had its name changed, “…” ‘Master, just how many names do I have?’

Dong Jing was dumbfounded. ‘What God-Killer? With that kind of name, how could those people in the Heavenly Realm have allowed you to use it? At least put some heart into bullshitting…’

Even after having been defeated by Shi Sheng, Dong Jing still trailed along after her. After several instances where Shi Sheng blew her top, Dong Jing found that not only did this girl have a short temper, her character wasn’t too pleasant either—she’d immediately resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

He was beginning to suspect she was in The Great Desert because she wasn’t welcome in the Heavenly Realm…

Shi Sheng didn’t know why Dong Jing was following her, so she just left him to his own devices and continued on her way.

But there was a saying that was almost always true: even if you don’t look for trouble, trouble would look for you.

Of course, since Shi Sheng wasn’t a main character, trouble wouldn’t be looking for her per se. But it was looking for Dong Jing, who had been following her all this while.

And seeing as she was walking in front of him—and that the people looking for Dong Jing happened to arrive from in front of her… she was unfortunate enough to be implicated.

“Dong Jing had a companion…? And she’s super pretty too. Is she an immortal?”

“No way! Don’t all those immortals love wearing clothes that make them look more sage-like? This girl doesn’t look the part. She seems more like someone from the Underworld.”

“Why would people from the Underworld be here…? Well, she’s not a good person if she’s hanging around Dong Jing! Who knows if she’s his woman! Kill her too!”

‘‘His woman’ your grandpa! Do you even know how to speak the human language properly?!’

Shi Sheng had long lost her tolerance for these people who prattled away instead of just attacking so she rushed up to them with her sword and attacked them. ‘If you wanna fight, just fight! What’s with all the chit-chat! You’re courting death!’

Everywhere she went, fresh blood sprayed. But her figure remained elegant and her movements graceful. She was a sight one wouldn’t be able to take their eyes off of. Dong Jing was left dumbfounded, staring with his mouth agape. He began reflecting on whether he looked too ugly while killing.

‘Turns out that killing people is an art… Hm, guess I’ll try killing more beautifully next time.’

“Where the hell did this killing god come from?! She’s on the same level as Dong Jing! Quick, retreat!”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

The last few men that were still alive began retreating. When planning their attack, they thought they’d only have to deal with Dong Jing. They hadn’t expected they’d also have to deal with someone else just as powerful. If they continued to fight, they would be completely annihilated.

This wasn’t the result they wanted to achieve.

Once they had all retreated, Shi Sheng flicked the blood off her sword.

Dong Jing walked over from behind her. There was a few splashes blood on his mask, causing it to look even more ferocious than before.

The scent of blood lingered in the air. Between the two lay several corpses. The atmosphere appeared to have turned tense. Of course, this was only from Dong Jing’s point of view.

Shi Sheng didn’t even spare a glance at him as she tossed her sword in the air, whereupon it enlarged. She leapt on it and rapidly flew off into the distance.

Dong Jing didn’t chase after her this time. He merely watched as Shi Sheng’s figure vanished into the clouds.

He then turned to look in the direction where their attackers had fled. ‘So they dared to try hunting me down? How bold! If I didn’t fulfil their WISHES, I wouldn’t be living up to my reputation as a bloodthirsty fiend, now would I?’
