Chapter 11 – Reappearance of the Angel (2/2)
Xiao Chen used the longsword as a prop to pull himself up from the ground. He faced the Imperial Angel and calmly said, “I never thought Her Highness had also entered the World of Immortals. To encounter someone from one’s homeland in this uncivilized island was truly a good fortune.”
Zhao Lin Er was a figure of peerless talent. She arrived in front of Xiao Chen with elegance. Her lucid and elegant face exposed a cold sneer as she said with a graceful voice free from vulgarity, “You really know how to speak. Could it be that you want me to cherish the feeling of my native country and not kill you? Do not forget how we got here in the first place!”
Xiao Chen tightly grasped the longsword in his hand and already finished his preparations to fight. He laughed helplessly as he said, “Entering the World of Immortals can also be considered a kind of fate. Since the ancient times, only how many people were able to accomplish this? Who knows, maybe Her Highness can live an eternal life in this world later. When you look back to the present at that time, our enmity now is not even comparable.”
“Living an eternal life in this world? I am unable to envision such a future. I can only see the vicious beasts roaming about, the monsters going on a rampage, and the image of an uncultivated era. This is the equivalent of being banished to a wretched wasteland, and the main cause of this disaster was you! To make me bid farewell to the beautiful Sichuan Hill, depart from the prosperous golden age, and to part forever with the Emperor and Empress!” Zhao Lin Er stared at Xiao Chen coldly, a clear killing intend surfaced on her attractive face.
The flames were ebbing between the forest, making the night as bright as daytime. At this moment, the thunder was even more violent high above the sky. One after another, lightning strikes ripped through the vast sky and split unceasingly as they danced about. The black clouds were rolling about and rapidly fell towards the ground. A heavy rain was about to fall in any moment.
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Lin Er and said earnestly, “The vicious beasts are running amuck and roam about only on this island. Furthermore, it is brimming with mystery. There are only two of us now, and we both hail from the mortal world. Your Highness, is it really necessary to fight one another to death? If that is the case, I feel extremely regrettable. After all, we came from the same place, we really shouldn’t slaughter one another in a foreign land. Since we already entered the World of Immortals, I think we should put the enmity from the mortal world between us behind? We can start over, we have to look out for each other while we are on this barren island.”
Zhao Lin Er’s laughter sounded like a bell, it was sharp and sweet-sounding, but her killing intent subsequently filled the air. Then she sneered coldly, “If the enmity from the mortal world didn’t exist, then we can get along. However, it is impossible now. Leaving you alive on this island would only invite trouble. Right now, you are only being humble because you have a serious injury. Otherwise, you would already attack me mercilessly.”
Xiao Chen had nothing else to say, they were both intelligent people, some things were better left unsaid. Otherwise, they would only sound superfluous.
The Imperial Angel had already noticed the corpse off in the distance. She faced Xiao Chen and said, “They must be the cause of your wounds. Why are there other people on this barren island, who are they?”
“The disciples of the Demon King, Pavilon!”
Zhao Lin Er was momentarily absent-minded after she heard this.
Xiao Chen’s body emitted a splendid radiance, it looked as if a legendary dragon had sprung out of his body and flee into the jungle. It was really impossible for him to face Zhao Lin Er at the moment. Wang Zi Feng’s last resort destroyed his own body; that surge of life energy brought a huge sense of dismay to Xiao Chen. Although he was able to withdraw and defend promptly, he still became gravely injured.
Zhao Lin Er recovered from her shock in an instant; her silhouette disappeared in the blink of an eye as she chased after Xiao Chen. She knew this was a rare opportunity, otherwise she would have a hard time suppressing Xiao Chen after he fully recovered.
“Bang!”
After the sudden clap of the thunder, the heavy rain finally started to pour. The endless curtain of water enveloped the world, the forest fire was extinguished instantly.
