Chapter 326: Giving up one’s life to save another
Chu Tian and ng Qingwu had been floating three-four hundred ters up in the sky before they began to fall down. Wind whistled in their ears and the ground was quickly approaching them. If they fell to the ground from this altitude, even if their bodies were made of iron, their inner visceras would be shattered.
The more dangerous thing was that those vulture riding War Hounds did not plan to let them off. In the second the two of them fell, those vultures instantly surrounded them, trying to tear them apart with their claws.
“Scram!”
Chu Tian used his sword qi to cut the stomach of a vulture, causing large amounts of blood and guts to bloom. Chu Tian suddenly heard ng Qingwu’s shocked cry and when he turned his head, he saw that ng Qingwu had already been grabbed by a vulture’s claws. There was a soldier stabbing his spear at ng Qingwu, but it was a good thing this normal vulture rider’s cultivation was not high and he couldn’t break through ng Qingwu’s starlight cover with a single hit.
ng Qingwu grabbed the spear and directly threw the soldier away.
Chu Tian had no other choice as he let go of the Netherworld Sword and grabbed the back of one hand with the other hand. The treasure sword turned into a stream of light as it pierced through a vulture, taking care of it with a single beast’s cry.
The Netherworld Sword released energy as blue and white fla crows flew into the sky. The vultures and their riders were all burned by this terrifying Abyss Netherworld Fla. These flas transford into a human figure, which had the appearance of a devil in the end.
“Netherworld! Kill them!”
“Understood, master!”
The demon Netherworld summoned so spiritual form creatures which didn’t have wings, but could still fly, shooting out like teors. They slamd into the vultures and six-seven flas blood in the sky.
Chu Tian held the spiritless Netherworld Sword and ng Qingwu as they fell together.
Putong!
Putong!
A mirror like lake on the prairies suddenly created two large splash sounds.
The two of them almost sunk to the bottom of the water. A normal person would have had their internal visceras shattered by that trendous force and died already. Chu Tian ca into contact with a rock at the bottom of the lake, shattering the rock to pieces, but nothing happened to Chu Tian. He felt a wave of dizziness enter his head, but he quickly ca to his sense and kicked off with his feet, quickly floating to the surface.
He saw ng Qingwu struggling in front of him, the young miss did not seem to know how to swim and there was an arrow in her thigh. She suddenly beca unable to move. Chu Tian quickly rushed over and grabbed ng Qingwu’s waist with both hands, bringing both of them to the surface.
“Hu——”
ng Qingwu and Chu Tian both gasped for air. ng Qingwu quickly asked in a concerned voice, “Are you alright?”
“My life is hard to take, of course I’m fine. How are you, young miss? Are your injuries severe!” Chu Tian revealed his own concern, using a pair of hands to go over the young miss’ plentiful body. Finally he touched her thigh and used his spirit energy to break the arrow, “We must go ashore to clean the wound.”
ng Qingwu was taken advantage of by Chu Tian, but she could not tell him off at this ti.
The little fox swam over in the water holding the Netherworld Sword in its mouth as it gave it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian grabbed the sword before thanking the little fox.
The Netherworld devil was still fighting the War Hounds in the sky. Although it couldn’t finish the fight, it could stop the vulture riding soldiers from attacking the two of them, so it was the best chance for them to head ashore.
Chu Tian hugged the young miss’ plentiful body while holding his Netherworld Sword in one hand. He used the spirit energy in his body and suddenly kicked the water, like an engine had been ignited, he quickly flew towards the shore.
The little fox suddenly gave a warning again.
Large amounts of dead wood appeared on the surface of the little lake, but looking carefully, they were shocked to find that it wasn’t dead wood, but rather it was an alligator that was over five ters long. The small part of its body surfacing looked like several dozen pieces of dead wood.
“Damn, it’s a Blue Marked Alligator!”
This alligator was a high class water attributed level one demon beast, being able to use water energy. It had strength equal to the peak of the Body Refinent Realm.
Chu Tian normally would not even put it in his eyes, but now Chu Tian was not only severely weakened, his spirit energy was almost dried up, not having any strength to fight at all. There were many alligators here, with over a hundred of them, which was enough to pose a threat to their lives at this mont!
ng Qingwu asked in a panic, “What do we do?”
“What else can we do, run!”
Their falling into the water constituted as invading these powerful demon beasts’ territory and it looks like these fellows had a bad temper. They were currently rushing at the two of them, with a blue rune appearing on each of the alligator’s heads, instilling a strength into them that ca from the lake water around them.
The entire surface of the lake seed like it was boiling.
Chu Tian could feel a strong water attributed energy slithering forward like a python. The alligators wanted to trap him first, making him lose all abilities to resist before tearing him to pieces.
Chu Tian’s sword swept out with a fierce sword qi that instantly destroyed all the binding energy around him, as well as killing two alligators blocking him. This move just enraged the demon beasts which was no help to the situation they were currently in.
“This is bad, there are too many demon beasts in the water!” ng Qingwu anxiously called out, “You can’t escape if you keep bringing along. Don’t mind , just leave!”
ng Qingwu was in the peak 5th Awakened Soul Layer, this was not considered weak, at least this would be at the level of a dium level officer in the Southern Sumr army. However, ng Qingwu’s source spirit was not suited for fighting, so most cultivation techniques and martial arts weren’t suited for her to learn. In other words, other than the defensive «Starlight Immortal Body», she did not have any other skills.
ng Qingwu had a weak battle strength, especially in this scenario, she could only retreat. If Chu Tian was carrying ng Qingwu, his chances of escaping was even smaller.
“These few beasts want to block ?”
Chu Tian released his spirit energy and charged forward, feeling like each inch was taking a thousand tis the normal amount of effort. He sliced down several alligators before moving forward with ng Qingwu.
The rumbling of the surrounding water beco stronger as the alligators looked like they were about to go crazy.
“Young miss, take this!” Chu Tian gave the Source Energy Submachine Gun to ng Qingwu. He and ng Qingwu were face to face while hugging, with Chu Tian taking care of the front, “Protect my back.”
At this ti, several large alligators jumped at Chu Tian’s back. The young miss quickly grabbed the gun and slamd her finger on the trigger to send out the light bullets. Steam instantly ford on the surface of the lake and large holes appeared in the alligators, as their bodies were pierced.
This is great!
With the Source Energy Submachine Gun in hand, these alligators could not approach them!
ng Qingwu had found her and imdiately began to shoot at the alligators around them. These high temperature energy bullets created steam when they fell onto the water, finally landing on the alligators one after another. The Source Energy Submachine Gun’s high fire rate and power was being displayed in this attack. The two of them were finally out of danger and slowly moving towards the shore.
“I’m out of ammo, give another magazine!”
“Damn, don’t you know how to save ammo! I don’t have anymore!”
ng Qingwu was shocked, “Then what should we do!”
Chu Tian took out a Source Energy Pistol for her, “There’s only this left, make do with it!”
The pistol fired too slowly and there were too many demon beasts, how could they kill their way out? However at this mont, it would have to do. It was luck that Chu Tian had modified this weapon, making the bullets even stronger, being enough to even penetrate the defenses of an Illustrious Soul Realm Cultivator.
Each shot killed an alligator!
Only the more alligators they killed, the angrier the demon beasts beca and the more wildly they attacked the two of them. Chu Tian did not have much spirit energy left and when it all dried up, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the Starlight Immortal Body anymore.
Once the Starlight Immortal Body broke.
Chu Tian would die for sure!
The strength of the demon beast would easily destroy their weak human bodies!
“This is bad, this is bad, I really can’t move anymore.”
Finally, Chu Tian’s spirit energy was almost dried up and they were still at least two hundred ters from the shore. This was just a single step for an Awakened Soul Cultivator, but it was the distance of life and death for Chu Tian.
“Young miss, we can’t keep swimming anymore.” Chu Tian had a tired look on his face, “Are you afraid?”
ng Qingwu saw Chu Tian’s pale face and suddenly emotions swelled inside of her. This fellow normally seed careless, but in this dangerous situation, he went all out to protect her, not giving up to the last minute, “If you’re not afraid, why would I be afraid. The worst case scenario is we die together.”
“Young miss, please take this and hold it tightly.” Chu Tian put a scabbard into ng Qingwu’s hand without any explanation and without waiting for her to speak, he asked, “I actually have sothing I want to ask you.”
ng Qingwu said with a stunned expression, “What do you want to ask?”
Chu Tian said with a serious face, “Yingying said to before that the person the young miss likes must be a great hero with indomitable spirit or a great sage that saves the kingdom’s people. Do you think that I am like that?”
“Is there any significance in asking this?”
“Of course there is a significance. Quickly tell so I can die in peace!”
“Alright, alright, alright, you are! You are like that! But there’s no chance now, we’re about to die!”
Chu Tian revealed a satisfied smile. He suddenly stabbed out with the Netherworld Sword and stabbed it into the scabbard in ng Qingwu’s hand. He released all his remaining energy into it and suddenly an explosion appeared on the surface of the water, creating a strong propulsion force against ng Qingwu.
“No!”
ng Qingwu was sent away by the Netherworld Sword, flying through the air and landing on the shore. She watched Chu Tian use his last bit of energy as he finally sank into the depths of the water. The surrounding alligators charged at him and launched a final wave of fierce attacks.
“Chu Tian!”
“Chu Tian!”
“I did not belong in this place in the first place, being here for so long is already enough to satisfy !” Chu Tian gave a peace sign with his right hand, “You sisters have to live well!”
When Chu Tian sunk into the water, countless alligators charged forward. Seeing the water splash in all directions, it was clear the alligators were attacking him!
“No! Co out now!”
ng Qingwu weakly knelt on the ground. She did not have the joy of surviving a disaster, rather she was filled with a deep guilt and pain.
