Chapter 559: [ Because I am dying to see my brother! ]
Under Si Mulan and the other’s strange gazes, another group of won suddenly flashed and appeared from all over the place.
Who are they…?
Another Sect Disciples…?
“That’s enough Celty… Sister Layla, co here… did that idiot bullied you?”
A warm but soft voice echoed in the place. It was extrely gentle that one would surely feel soft in the knees the mont they heard it.
However, the thing that startled Si Mulan and the rest wasn’t the voice but the owner of the voice.
Demi-human…!!
They scread inwardly.
That’s right. The person in front of them was not a human but a demi-human. Furthermore, it wasn’t just one but several.
The new group consisted of ten people—almost half of them were demi-humans.
Demi-humans might not be rare in the Divine Martial Continent, nor was it there any kind of obvious discrimination. However, one must know, even if no one says it, there is still an obvious difference or distance between humans and Demi-humans. Hence, it was extrely difficult for Demi-humans to enter human based sect. It also the sa goes for humans, as they would not be able to enter Demi-human centered Sect as well. They have this, invisible rivalry between them. So both sides, appearing intimate was quite uncommon.
But this group--
Two won with insect-like features—one exudes a regal-like feeling. Sothing like a Queen, with every movent of hers, was full of elegance and grace. And although her appearance was strange due to being a part insect, her face and features were so beautiful it’s hard to avert your attention once you laid your eyes on her. With a perfect figure, she was extrely attractive and captivating!
There is sothing within her that makes one can’t help but feel attracted.
Aside from this seemingly Queen-Servant pair of Insect Demi Race, was a pair of fox demi-humans as well that seed to have an almost similar appearance—probably twins…?
Both of them were beautiful and pretty that they would be the spotlight whenever they go, In fact, most n in Qin Han’s group, including him was dazzled by their beauty and their hearts started beating faster. Those curvy and almost perfect bodies could induce lust in any n who saw them—
And lastly, the other six were all human females. One thing that needs to ntion though was that, all of them were beautiful and good looking as well!
Who are they…?
*** ***
RooooOOaaAAArrRRR—!!!
The giant python monster visibly trembled with anger, obviously irritated by the new busybody intruders. For them to interfere in it's fun, outrageous!
Letting out a shrill cry, the giant snake angled its body and swung its large scaly tail. Its target was the black-haired woman’s direction.
This sudden attack caused the group’s expression to change.
This bastard…!
Every mber of the new group almost reacted simultaneously, all their expressions distorted in extre anger that their eyes were blazing in fury. However, among them, the pair of Demi-human, especially the two fox twins reacted imdiately. They ignored everything and just rushed towards the black-haired woman, standing in front of her protectively.
““You dare!!””
They scread angrily.
Crimson flas appeared around them, dozens floating in the air.
However, before they could take action and attack, "…Leave that thing to . You two girls, stay with Layla. You should understand what will happen if she was hurt, right?"
The insect woman steps forward and coldly muttered. Her expression calm and collected. But within her tone, sothing cold and icy could be felt even a kiloter distance.
""Y-Yes, your majesty!""
The Insect female servant, as well as the two fox demi-humans, imdiately nodded. They bowed their heads simultaneously and then positioned their selves in front of the black haired woman. A red colored thin as filant like cellophane wall appeared around them.
“You’re exaggerating much, Alkrasha… I’m not that weak, you know.”
The black-haired woman, nad Layla couldn’t help but smiled bitterly when she noticed that she was being babysitted. They are reacting too much.
“That can’t be help, sister. This place seed to be quite problematic than we had imagined. In an offset that sothing happened to you, forget about those waiting in the outside, I won’t have the face to see ‘him’ again…” Alkrasha smiled bitterly. “Besides, ‘He’s fine… I know it, hmmm, I can feel it. And so, I know that I will surely be able to et him again. If sothing happened to you, won’t he bla then?”
“He won’t!” Layla chuckled in amusent. “He’s not that narrow-minded.”
“Ha ha ha, I know… that guy was certainly crying right now, screaming that he was missing …!!” The Brunette laughed loudly. “That bastard, even my mini-precious was called out… what the heck is that guy doing?! Does he want to beco crazy from missing him?!”
“You’re already crazy though,”
“What did you say, Muxiao?!”
BbaAngG—!!
The giant snake’s tail smashed towards the Ice barrier that Celty had conjured, and the part that had touched the bluish white barrier had instantly frozen up.
Cryaaaahhh!!
Because of frostbite, the giant snake let out an agonized cry all while repeatedly smashing the ground with its brutal tail.
At this mont, “I said, you are already crazy since long ago…!!”
Shua~ Suddenly, three won rushed up, one on the left and one on the right, and another one was in the middle.
People at their level don't even need a detailed tactic debriefing. Everyone's connected by heart and they all know what their missions are. What they are using now is a double-team tactic, with the two won holding the monster down to give the one in middle the opportunity to close in.
The way the two won ran was not like Allen who could propel himself forward with a montary burst of speed and instead, the way they ran was rather steady. Although there were shadows from the movent of their feet, they looked especially solid.
The wind that accompanied their movent looked like pixies were surrounding them. The way they ran with their bodies lying low was like charging leopards. This truly shows that their foundations in martial arts were extrely firm and undisputed. Their every movent radiated grace, soft yet full of explosive power.
Every action was calculated, precise and efficient.
It was a stark contrast from Allen’s usual laid-back movents—not because Allen was inferior in terms of martial arts but because the latter find it already unnecessary to do it anymore. His power has already transcended beyond his enemies--beyond anyone could compare. This kind of trick, to soone like Allen was already considered party tricks.
The only mont Allen showed this kind of manner and attitude was the ti when he confronted a monster he was doubtful he could win—for example, the Monster King of Blood Desert Oasis; Hanjin.
At that ti, in that battle, he exhibited peak martial arts and sword arts to its limit!
This book was originally published on . Check it out there for the real experience.
He had gotten serious at that ti...
Suddenly, countless dots of amber light suffused from the ground and quickly gathered onto the sword in one of the woman’s hand. An amber halo enveloped her as well. Like moving at a lightning speed, the woman had already traversed dozens of ters and rushed in front of the giant snake monster in an instant.
Without willing to wait any longer, she chose to directly enter a highly risky lee clash with it.
Her bright eyes were no longer as calm and torpid as they usually were.
Her eyes were sharp and ferocious.
They were burning with a resolute will and murderous intent.
Her sword was even fiercer.
Movents as fluid as running water, quick as lightning and as immovable as a mountain!
The amber-colored halo shattered as the silver sword slashed out fiercely. The sword had abandoned any flashiness in its moves. The strikes were simple and direct, which made them extrely brutal yet so extrely powerful.
Clank! Clenk! Clank! Sparkkk!
Sparks created from the friction of the sword hitting the hard scales. Chipping a part of the scales slowly, the woman’s sword seed to be without techniques and skills—only pursuing peak speed and power.
In a real life-and-death battle, any superfluous sword techniques would end up being burdenso.
It would create unnecessary lag or flaws. As such, simple and brutal sword techniques might lack beauty to them, but they were the most pragmatic sword techniques for killing.
This was her—
Way of the Sword—!!
The silver sword slashed out countless sharp sword beams, like countless red lotus blooming!
“Say that to again, Muxiao!! You retard, you’re the one who hides your identity to him when you’re with him for so many years! In the end, crying and wailing like a child after?! You want to be Ice up, you bastard!!”
Following the woman who had just attack, the brunette’s angry voice reverberated in the entire place. Her feet stepped off the ground and her body shot toward the giant snake-like lightning.
As the brunette flashed passed, the icy air quickly spread throughout the forest. Even the ground, plants and trees in the surrounding imdiately freeze in ice as she passed. A faint fog completely blocked the giant snake’s sight.
“Frozen Symphonia!!”
Wooosh.
Following the gentle sound of breaking wind, a few white colored icicles shot out from the fog, the sound like tinkling bells or the sound caused by a lyre.
Clink! Clang! Claaang!!
They finally emitted a clanging sound as they knocked against the hard scales of the giant python.
“Beco a popsicle, monster! That’s what you get for aiming at my precious Sister. In. Law!!”
BaangG! BaaangG! BaaangG!
Deafening explosions and cries resounded in the air, as lights of pillar appeared along with the blurry figures that seed dancing in the fog.
“Just what is…”
"Amazing..."
"Just what kind technique is that? That red-haired, for so reason, I couldn't feel any spiritual qi fluctuation..."
"Indeed, it's strange! It's not a Qi Technique?!"
"Could it be?!"
As the battle continued with new challengers; Qin Han, Bu Fanyi, Si Mulan and the others could only watch the battle unfold with shock, confused and bewildering gazes. They should be the one under the spotlight, taken the screen solo but now… they actually were reduced to re spectators.
What had happened, was too fast for them to be able to react!
“I guess, we don’t have much screen ti again…” The black haired woman muttered with a wry smile as she watches the heated battle going on. Her gaze was full of trust and confidence as she watched the two won rampaging in battle like mad war gods. There’s not a bit of worry in her expression although the monster was strong—after all, although they argued and fight against each other often when they co together, no one can defeat them!
They are invincible—they cover each other weakness and boost their every strength as although they often argued and fight but they know each other’s extrely well, it’s as if they had grown up together!
Their words can’t be taken at face value as they know and understands each other better than they themselves.
They know their weakness, they know each other strengths—and they know what to do to support each other.
That is why I love the people that entered my brother’s family…
The black-haired woman called Layla smiled sweetly. At first, they only have each other—one person to rely on. But now, interesting people, one after another ca, filling up the loneliness and sorrow and completing the pieces and the parts to build one complete picture—that can be known as… family!
Her brother was really a blessed child—
.... hmm, I guess it just shows how insightful he was.
Finding one was or two was already wonderful, but this many—
.... he he, my brother is indeed a man of miracles…!
Straight long hair that gives out a black glossy shine under the light. Gentle eyes, and a lancholic yet full of love expression. Attractive light-pink lips that were shaped nicely—so beautiful, is what Si Mulan, even though she was a girl as well yet that thought ca to her as she looks at the black-haired woman standing in front of her.
Smiling and bathed in the sun, she really looked like a goddess.
Si Mulan was not exaggerating—after all, this woman before her was the second woman that had earned her admiration. The first person was her beloved elder sister.
“So, you are Trial Takers as well? From which Clan? Organization? I never thought soone would find this secret dungeon other than us… you know,” The black haired woman suddenly turned around and spoke at Si Mulan with a warm smile.
“Ah, I…”
“Ah, I’m sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, didn’t I? My given na is Layla, style na; Bando and surna Villaflores--that of course, in your way of speaking, you're Han, right? Of course, you can just call Layla as well, I prefer that,”
“La, Lady Layla?”
The black-haired woman, Layla smiled warmly. Then she looks towards the other people in her group; “And this is my family, sorry about their fierce characters but I assure you they are all good people…”
“O, oh…” Si Mulan showed a stiff smile.
Layla’s smile was indeed beautiful and warm but the expression on the two won beside her was extrely fierce and scary. It's as if they are observing her group, and monitoring them like they are a group with evil intent.
Really...
A pair of beautiful won with long golden fox ears and bushy tail. They both had pure erald, green eyes that sucked you in. For a mont Si Mulan forgot to breathe. She just continued to stare at these charming eyes. Upon that, the two girls noticed hers. The two pairs of green eyes that had captured her instantly narrowed as they stepped forward to guard Layla.
They looked at Si Mulan with a serious expression, trying to appraise her. Their powerful glances were saying that based on the circumstances, they just might cut her down.
Scary…!!
“Lady Layla, I know this might be presumptuous of but, I appreciate it if next ti you wouldn’t rush in alone, even if it ant saving soone. If sothing happened to you, we wouldn’t know how to face the master. So please, for the love of my master, don’t ever rush into danger!”
The Demi-Fox on the right muttered seriously. Though Si Mulan was confused if whether she was using a polite tone or a scolding tone.
“Li Tian, huh…” Layla turned towards the fox girl at the right and then smiled bitterly, “I’m sorry. It’s just when I saw Lightning Storm and sounds of fighting just after you said you can sense him in this Dungeon, my body just…”
“We know and we understood it as well as we felt the sa way…”
“However, milady, the sensation still hasn’t yet been truly confird. It was probably because of the dinsion we are at now, weakening our bond with Master…!” The other demi-fox muttered.
“It could also probably be sothing that Master had left behind when he participated in the Dungeon Trial before, possessing his aura that was why it resonated—” she concluded, though her voice turned softer and weaker as ti passed by. It’s as if she was afraid of saying such things, nor considering it.
“No!” Layla cut her off and said with a confident expression; “He’s here! And I can feel it!”
“Milady…?!”
The Fox girls stared at Layla aghast, not knowing where her confidence from. They had been looking for their master for a very long ti now. And also they know that their master was not in the mortal plane anymore but on the Celestial World. Thus, him, being in this Dungeon has almost zero possibility—even still…!
“Li Lian, Li Tian, truthfully, I’m extrely thankful to you, probably not just but also by the others as well. Because with your existence, we can heave a sigh of relief that nothing bad had happened to him. However, I apologize but I might not be able to follow what you wanted—”
Layla smiled bitterly, showing an apologetic expression towards the two sisters. “Because I am dying to see my brother…!” she emphasized the word ‘dying’ to the two of them.
“I might anger you often, irritated you countless tis… still, I want to apologize in advance. But I won’t stop nor take a break for even a bit… I want to go to wherever he might be right now as fast as possible!”
Li Tian and Li Lian glanced at each other, their lips curling into wry smiles. They then sigh, as if surrendering to fate; “You don’t need to, milady. Protecting you is our duty and the most importance—as long as we are alive, no harm shall occur to you! We promise you to that!”
They both deeply bowed towards Layla.
Layla looks at them, smiling and feeling moved in her heart.
They are really good people…
