"Unreasonable like always." Commented Yun Long, trails of azure flames started to emerge on the corner of both his eyes. Gleaming eerily, with an impression as if a volcano would erupt any moment.
"You know I'm the King of the Dragons, right?"
"So what?" Answered Leng Zhian, not bothering to hide his dissatisfied expression, "This man is a human who had ch
"I know." Answering the voice, Luke then commented, "But aren't you feeling something, Striver? Your sect is being assaulted right before you. The disciples are being killed mercilessly in stray attacks, as if they are no more than bugs." ~"It is unfortunate. However, I had my reason for establishing that sect. Now, it is just a husk of what it was supposed to be."~ Quipped the voice. "Is that so…" Said Luke, staring at the mountains solemnly for another few minutes. Sighing again, Luke turned his body and walked away. "Fine... Let's get away from here. I hope you don't lie to me." Snorting out loud inside Luke's head, the voice replied, ~"I won't. It's the truth."~ "We will see." Said Luke for the last time, as he dashed in the south direction, staying as far away as he could from his former sect. 'Goodbye, Three-Headed Serpent sect.'On the other hand, Hong Ming was dealing with the combination of Lun Hua and Yun Long. After Yun Long squashed the black dragon, who once was an
"I was invited here." Quipped the man called Fan Lu nonchalantly. He was wearing a robe similar to that of Heaven's Sword Mountain. Yet, his robe was tailored exquisitely, threaded with golden and silver threads. His hair was tied in a ponytail, coloured in silver, similar to his eyes. His eyebrows were straight and narrow, giving an impression of a very cold and serious person. Clasping his hands on his back, his standing posture was straight, while the aura around him was so sharp, even the wind would be sliced in two should they be blowing in his course. "So one of the Four Righteous is in cahoots with two of the Five Calamities? What happened to the Four Guardians who said they would protect humanity from any race with bad intentions?" Mocked Hong Ming while he kept charging through the blade, destroying the blade and was in the middle part of the sword. "Time for a change. You understand what it means for me to be here." Answered Fan Lu. His eyes coldly staring at Hong Ming. "
~"So what's your plan?"~ Listening to the voice inside his head, Luke contemplated for a while as he ran through the forest. The wind swirled around him, increasing Luke's speed, decreasing the air pressure that was exerted at Luke. "I'm going back." Quipped Luke, the image of two people had flashed in his mind. He had left the town without even a goodbye. Perhaps, he should check up on old Xu and Qing Li. ~"To where?"~ Questioned the voice, wondering about the destination that Luke had in mind. "Well, when I had arrived in this world for the very first time, I met with an old man and his granddaughter. I have known them for a few days. Perhaps, I should go back to them because I didn't say anything before leaving back then." ~"For a few days? And now you want to go back to them?"~ Repeated the voice, albeit not believing what he had heard. "Yeah, why?" Asked Luke back, not understanding the meaning behind those words. ~"You make it sound like they are close family or something.
[BACK TO THE PRESENT] ~"So you are saying that it would be a long journey, right?"~ Sitting under the shade of a tree, Luke polished his handguns nonchalantly, enjoying the nice breeze in the air, blowing gently in his face. After he had cleaned the muzzle and all parts that needed to be cleaned, Luke now tried to take out another item. The item had the shape of a small UFO. Activating the item, Luke watched it float higher and higher, reaching the canopy of the forest and hide amongst the leaves. "Not that far away. If we have to calculate it, then…" Sweeping his hand in front of him, a holographic panel appeared out of nowhere, displaying a map of his current position, "Maybe if I continuously run without stopping, we can reach in two days." ~"I know you can go faster than this. You are an expert as well as a reinforced soldier! Your pace now is no more than the speed of a turtle for you!"~ Complained the voice, apparently not satisfied with how Luke did things so far. "Are you
"Astral Projection?"<
~"Great, keep doing that."~An hour later, Luke finally had achieved some breakthrough in the Astral Projection spell. The glowing lights around him, caused by the constant supply of the magic power onto the magic circuits had shown a beautiful view if one had enough time to appreciate the scene.However, Luke was definitely not one who had enough time for it. Even now, sweat could be seen
"Sh*t!" Without any delay, Luke used the prepared rune within his bracelet, in case anything unexpected happened. The teleport spell activated immediately, flashing in bright light to envelop Luke's body, only to shift the body to a place where Luke had sensed the creature's position, last time he checked. 'What's that!? It's so fast!' Even for Luke, it was the first time he had seen something so fast, excluding the fact that the Inner Disciple specialized in speed back when he had fought in the forest. ~"It has yet shown you everything it has got. It didn't even try to be serious at all. Somehow, it has underestimated you."~ Informed Rein in Luke's head, gauging the demonic beast’s capability all this time as he advised, ~"It's better to leave. I think this cave was its lair. Just leave this place and you will be alright."~ Pondering over Rein's suggestion, Luke gazed towards the empty space six hundred meters away from him. He was no battle maniac, so if he could walk away from t
Staying silent for a few breaths, Luke responded, "Let's do some cleaning." ~"Huh... Why did I see that coming from miles away."~ Said Rein helplessly. Raising his eyebrows, Luke played along and spoke, "Oh, you did?" ~"Very funny, kid."~ Commented Rein, however, his voice indicated how unamused he was. Then, suddenly, Rein spoke, ~"Hmm? Someone is still alive in here?"~"What!?" Surprised by what Rein had uttered, Luke chanted his spells, strengthening his vision to look around for survivors, "Where?" ~"There, eleven o'clock from where you stand."~ Spoke Rein quickly. Without wasting any time, Luke rushed to the direction Rein had pointed at, looking around at his left and right as he ran through the street. After that, in the corner of his vision, Luke sighted a small quiver under a heap of logs. Going near, Luke grabbed the logs and began to toss them away one by one. Underneath it was a child, who seemed to be eight years old at the most. He was lucky enough that one of the l
