"No, it's like this." Slowing her movements to show Luke how it was done, Xu Lang gently grind the dry leaves, making crunching noises as they started to become powders. Lifting the paper that holds the powder gently, Xu Lang pour them down towards a cup of hot, sterilized water. Taking out a wooden spoon to dissolve the powder, Xu Lang took out a plant similar looking to a ginseng. Putting it inside the wooden bowl, Xu Lang began to reach out for a wooden pestle and pound the ginseng to paste. Sniffing the scent of the mixed herbs, Xu Lang smiled in satisfaction and her hands held the bowl to a small cauldron. Letting the liquid to flow into the cauldron, Xu Lang took a little peek inside, checking the amount of space that was filled by the half-done medicine. Lit the fire beneath the small stone shaped stove, which was holding the butt of the cauldron, both of them watching the medicine boiling as the medicine's odour began to spread the atmosphere. It has been nine days since Lu
*Knock knock!* The sounds of someone's knocking could be heard from the door. Turning his head towards that direction, Luke uttered, "You can continue with the herbs, Xu Lang. Let me check who it is." Giving a quick side glance to Luke, Xu Lang replied, "If it's Lin Yi, tell her that the ointment to heal her feet is yet ready. I should have time until tomorrow morning." Nodding in acknowledgement, Luke said, "Got it." Then, Luke started walking towards the door calmly. Before long, he opened the door and saw who it was, but the figure who stood in front of him was drenched in blood from head to toe. Her face and hairs dirty in dust and mud, while her expression was weary to behold. "Yi Mo?" Spoke Luke in an unbelievable tone, the person that the whole village has been waiting all this time was finally here. But her appearance was far from what Luke had expected. Her eyes looking unfocused and absentminded, she muttered softly before fainting to the floor. "Help.." Catching the
"Hm?"Slowing down his pace, the man's brows furrowed in focus, his expression became serious and tense in that instant. On his right side, a colleague of his who dressed in an emerald hanfu turned his head to him, questioning him with curiosity."What's it, Hue Liang?" “You’ve got some nerve coming here, boys.”In the instant after the voice sounded, the cultivator’s body was cleaved in half.The rest of the cultivators were alerted by the death of their comrade and quickly turned around to strike at the red visage of their foe. Yet before they could even make out his appearance, a hole appeared on each of their foreheads, killing them instantly."That’s all of them." The voice of a young man sounded as he made his way past the barely living survivors. “Good work there, Striver.” Luke complimented the crimson armor, which appeared out of thin air. The crimson armor turned his full plated helmet to the dying cultivators on the ground. "So, why are you chasing a young girl to the point she looks like a mess?"Putting his crystallized blade to the neck of one of the survivors, Hue Liang, Rein interrogated as he let his sword slightly burn the man's skin. Eliciting a scream of pain, "Might answer quickly before I run out of patience and u will kill yoThe Saga of the Unbroken 137. Persuasion
"Wait!"Stepping forward to protect their last opponents, Luke frowned as he said, "You had promised them to let them stay alive, Striver! Does your promise mean nothing to you?!""Luke.. They are here not only to kill that girl, but also you too. This man would be a blabber mouth when we let him go. Not to mention, he will be a thorn in our side." Reasoned Rein, still adamant for the man's
Arriving at the village, Luke proceeds to Xu Lang's residence at once. While on the way, he tried to check on any disturbance that had occurred when he had left the place. Through Rosemare's report, nothing seems to be notable as it guarded the entire village in the air.Took it as good news, Luke finally opened the door of Xu Lang's house and saw a crowd of girls and kids inside. Apparently, they had followed his instructions before he had left. Seeing that everyone looks fine, Luke went to Xu Lang and asked about Yi Mo's condition.
Great braziers hanging from each of the sixteen travertine columns light up most of the throne hall and their light wraps the hall in a warm radiance. The paintings of vast landscapes on the bowed ceiling dance in the flickering light while statues look down upon the teak floor of this imposing hall.A jade rug splits the entire room in half from the doors to the throne while winged banners with embellished borders decorate the walls. Between each banner hangs a small luster, a few of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the portraits of legendary creatures below them.
"Raaghh!"Roaring out loud, the beast of six legs, two heads in the form of a dog leaped towards the company of the people that dared to trespass their territory. Its comrades followed behind it, as they bared their fangs to the intruders.Yet, with the sounds of continuous thunders, their comrades have fallen down upon the ground, their bodies riddled with holes all over them. A few of the
