Chapter 166: Pit

162 – Pit

“– Hmm, why are you not speaking?”

An astonished sweet voice came from behind.

Xue Qilin held her breath. Xihe also stopped struggling and looked behind Xue Qilin, stunned.

In the wide opened eyes, the scene behind Xue Qilin — a gold figure sitting on a tree, legs dangling — was clearly reflected.

Asura’er.

Could it be that it wasn’t Xihe who hurt Little Seven, but her? It is possible. Xue Qilin’s head is buzzing. Jialan’s temperament is hard to pin down; there’s no way to judge what actions she will take.

Xue Qilin glanced at Xihe, and saw sadness and aggrievedness in her eyes.

She suddenly calmed down, as if a basin of water was poured on her.

What have I done? Xue Qilin felt lightheaded and released her grip. Xihe, thereupon, plopped down on her butt and coughed violently.

“Hey, you aren’t fighting? How boring.”

With a “heave-ho”, Jialan jumped down from the tree. She swayed her arms and approached unhurriedly, as if taking a stroll.

“I’m so disappointed in you guys. You didn’t fight hard at all — hmm, but also… ‘Heaven Realm’ only amounts to this much in the end.”

Jialan crossed her arms and nodded, agreeing with her words.

Holding her face with a hand, Xue Qilin slowly turned around. Shaking eyes emerged from between the fingers.

“It’s you?”

Xue Qilin’s voice was inexplicably hoarse.

“Hmm? What is me? I am me. Your question is too vague?”

Jialan stopped, patted an index finger against lips, and tilted her head.

Next —

“Ah!”

Evidently having though of something, Jialan clapped her hands in surprise.

The shallow dimples on her face setting off her lips, she revealed a honey-sweet smile and gazed at Xue Qilin.

“It’s me! If you are asking, if it’s me who hurt Merak Temple’s Temple Master, then the answer is affirmative.”

Her smile became even sweeter, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

“Well, it’s me.”

“Why…?”

“There is no reason why.” She spoke in a matter-of-factly tone, “It’s just more fun this way. Isn’t it?”

“… fun?”

You gravely wounded Little Seven because it’s fun? Xue Qilin’s eyes widened, her mind a blank.

The lass in front of her has gone beyond her scope of understanding.

Xue Qilin cannot understand her.

Although human life is cheap, but she didn’t expect that it would be this cheap in Jialan’s eyes.

To take someone’s life just because it would be fun — what a twisted outlook.

“However, I was aiming for her heart. She shouldn’t be able to react. But suddenly, a wall that seemed to be made from true qi appeared and helped her block, saving her life…”

Jialan kicked a pebble next to her feet with dissatisfaction.

The pebble streaked across Xue Qilin’s left cheek and opened a shallow wound, and then pierced through several tree trunks. Xue Qilin didn’t react at all. It was too fast.

“Hey, do you know what happened? It was your doing, wasn’t it?”

Eyes sparkling, an expression of suppressed excitement on her face, Jialan looks like a child filled with curiosity.

Only… how can she make such a smile while talking about such things? This disparity makes the atmosphere turn strange.

It’s really twisted — no, it’s really pure. She only does what she wants.

Xue Qilin closed her eyes.

Shouldn’t exist.

She shouldn’t exist.

An indescribable anger gripped Xue Qilin. She didn’t know at the time that the anger that nearly engulfed her was largely due to self-blame for mistaking targets and hurting Xihe.

Why am I so impulsive? The sense of guilt fermented enough to distort any of the lass’s existing emotions.

“– Little Phecda!”

Xue Qilin shouted at the top of her lungs, and her voice resounded in the sky.

In response to the call, the large mechanical sword, that fell aside, rouse into the air unnaturally, then turned around and shot towards Xue Qilin.

However, Phecda didn’t return to Xue Qilin’s hand.

“I didn’t allow you to get together!”

With a flash of gold light, a hand struck Phecda and flung her back.

Unable to bear the formidable strength of a Grandmaster, the place where the heavy sword was hit depressed in the shape of a hand print.

Empyrean Universe embedded into a large boulder far away, and then became quiet.

“Little Phecda!”

Was her true form hurt? Why doesn’t she respond? Xue Qilin hurried to the place where Phecda fell. However, Jialan only took one step and arrived before Xue Qilin, blocking her way.

“You…”

“Where are you going?”

Jialan smiled sweetly.

However, her smile lasted only for a moment. In the next moment, her expression changed, and she stared at Xue Qilin coldly.

“I haven’t finished speaking, yet you want to leave? That isn’t very polite, don’t you know?”

Polite? Did she say to be polite to her? That’s ludicrous. Xue Qilin issued an ill-timed chuckle.

“What a nasty reaction!”

Jialan’s expression turned cold.

And then —

“Crack.”

Jialan lifted a leg and slammed it into the ground.

— it was like an earthquake occurred.

In an instant, the land in Martial Demon Realm rumbled and shook.

Unpleasant noise that resembled the sound of bones breaking rang, as the terrain, within an area 20 meters in diameter centered on Jialan, crumbled and cracked.

At first, Xue Qilin thought that the ground, unable to bear the impact, cracked, and that’s it. But unexpectedly —

All of a sudden, a rock disappeared from between the cracks.

It fell! It fell into the ground!

“–!”

Shit! Realizing that things are bad, Xue Qilin wanted to retreat at once.

But she was still a step too slow.

The ground collapsed and exposed a dark bottomless pit in a flash.

Xue Qilin, who lost her footing, immediately fell along with the rocks. But the two didn’t have same endings.

Xue Qilin adjusted her posture, floated in mid-air, and grabbed Xihe, who fell along with her.

“Thank you…”

Xihe let go of the other party’s hand and started flying by herself. Her tone was particularly unfamiliar. Is it due to Xue Qilin accusing her wrongly?

“This is not the time to be at ease.”

Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes.

At the end of her line of sight, there is Jialan guarding the entrance of the pit.

The pit is only about 20 meters in diameter, neither narrow nor wide. It is surrounded by a solid rock wall. Furthermore, the only exit is blocked by Asura’er.

How do we get out? Xue Qilin, even when joining forces with Xihe, may not be able to beat Jialan. As long as Jialan stays at the entrance of the pit, they will be trapped here.

However, it doesn’t look like Jialan intends to trap them here.

Spark-like light particles dropped from above.

Gold light shone at the entrance of the pit.

Fluorescent, majestic breath swayed like smoke.

“That wretched Asura’er, she actually wants to kill us!”

Full of smiles, Jialan pressed down gently with her right hand, which glows with dazzling light.

Light engulfed the field of vision.

A palm print of the same size as the pit’s mouth pressed down.

“Let’s go down!”

Xihe set out first.

“No need to state the obvious!”

Xue Qilin immediately turned around and chased after the darkness that is being dispelled by the gold light.

However, they didn’t escape the palm print in the end.

Gold light engulfed the two, and then exploded.

Enduring the severe pain that raged all over her body, keeping herself awake, Xue Qilin exited the cloud of dust.

A feeling of falling enveloped her.

Her body is wailing, her clothes are badly mangled.

“Uw…”

Xue Qilin managed to open her eyes with great difficulty, and debris immediately reflected in her eyes.

A few stones hit her, and she clenched her teeth in pain.

What a joke! Even if she doesn’t fall to her death, she’ll still be crushed to death! But Xue Qilin is out of strength.

As she wondered if she would be buried here, someone flew towards her.

It is Xihe.

She hugged Xue Qilin, and her nine tails interlaced and wrapped around both of them.

In the end, the two crashed into water.

The debris pursuing them arrived a beat later, and then water splashed about.

Everywhere is dark. Cold water poured into the nose and ears and caused acute pain, and some even went into the lungs.

In this perilous situation, Xue Qilin’s wounds flared up at the same time, and she lost consciousness.
