Martial World's
Ch 1949 - Single Life (6)
…

…
Thinking of this, Lin Ming sneered inwardly. His parents were supported with the prestige he had left behind in the past; no one dared to move against them.
But, there were those who took advantage of his parents' lack of understanding when it came to martial skills and cultivation methods as well as their lack of understanding of the politics of the court. These people secretly and slowly manipulate things from behind the scenes, influencing the decisions of their parents.
There were even people who wanted to use this devious method to gain authority from his parents and put themselves above the rest.
After all, his parents were just ordinary humans. Even with many spirit medicines helping them, they would have at most 2000 years to live.
Once his parents died, whose hands would fall to this vast heavenly Kingdom?
This is a very serious problem that involves a lot of benefits. It is only natural that everyone wants to eat a portion of this thick soup.
As this thought flashed through Lin Ming's mind, he could sense that a high-level ferocious beast had approached.
Situ Mingyue originally took ten steps, but then her body trembled. He turned around and looked deep into the forest, his complexion instantly changing!
“Lipan fire at a glance! Why would a high-level ferocious beast like this appear in this forest !? ”
Situ Mingyue's expression turned into horror. This fleeting fire centipede could even kill a Life Destruction powerhouse. As for Situ Mingyue, she was only a teenager and her cultivation was at the Xiantian realm. This difference in strength was so great that he would not even be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the fire centipede that quickly passed.
"You fool! Stop standing and waiting for death to come! ”
Situ Mingyue saw Lin Ming standing in a daze and left gasping for breath. He took out a long whip and struck it at Lin Ming, pulling it towards him. He grabbed her hand and dragged her into the bushes.
"If you don't want to die then don't move!"
Situ Mingyue covered Lin Ming's mouth, afraid that this blue-brained idiot would sway and expose their position. Moreover, he guessed that Lin Ming would not know what was happening, or perhaps Lin Ming might not even know what the fleeting fire centipede was. If this kind of disaster befell someone like this who had no skills or knowledge, they would die before they realized it.
He quickly spoke to Lin Ming with a true essence sound transmission and then flicked his finger. A signal beacon shot into the sky.
This was a special signal beacon issued by Lin Academy to their students for help. Once used, the teacher responsible for saving the students would arrive soon. If a dangerous situation were to occur, students should have used this rescue talent.
Situ Mingyue did not believe that she would be able to find a way to survive if the fleeting fire centipede found her, nor did she believe that she could run faster. All he could do was hide as much as he could and hope that this fire centipede that was only momentarily passed by and did not aim at them. Or, he could pray that they were saved before they both died.
However, Situ Mingyue also felt the situation was strange. Why did this person Lin Ming not have a master secretly following him to protect him? And this master actually let the fleeting fire centipede get close to them?
But at this moment Situ Mingyue's heart shivered, as if she had fallen into an icy lake. He stared helplessly as the flaming signal he fired into the sky suddenly broke out. The bright lights of the signal flare seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, turning into ashes scattered in the wind, leaving nothing behind.
"It's…"
Situ Mingyue was extremely frightened. This kind of change could only be made by someone who was an expert in the Concept of Darkness. Only the Concept of Darkness that swallowed all could cleanly swallow the signal flare light.
He suddenly realized a terrifying possibility. This possibility made him despair!
Someone wanted to kill him or Lin Ming. This person secretly infiltrated into the squad assigned to protect the students and moved against them. They even brought a fleeting fire centipede here to make it seem as if they had died during the journey of life.
This person might even be some master of the Lin Academy.
"We have to run!"
Situ Mingyue quickly said. At this moment, his palms were drenched in sweat. He had already guessed that no matter who this person was aiming for, they would kill all possible witnesses. This means that they both will die here!
And as Situ Mingyue said these words, a terrifying flame-colored centipede suddenly shot out from within the forest!
This monstrous centipede was over 100 feet long and had a carapace that burned with fire. There was a terrible roar, and wherever he went the tree would be torn apart like a small twig.
It was too fast, fast to the point of leaving one in despair. As soon as it appeared it did not stop at all and threw itself at Lin Ming and Situ Mingyue. It spread out its claws that were covered in poison and fire, piercing them like two long spears!
At that moment, Situ Mingyue had never felt death this close today.
In despair, he gritted his teeth and used all of his strength to cut off his sword. He did not think that this attack would be able to do anything, but only wanted to leave a scar on the fire centipede that quickly passed, even if it was a superficial mark. This was her angry response to the aversion she felt in her heart!
Is he going to die here like this?
To die so quickly and inexplicably, would he not even know who killed him, or what their purpose was?
His mother, will he be sad?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Situ Mingyue's mind. He stared blankly as the centipede's claws pushed towards his chest like a death god's scythe. He watched his gentle and weak sword attack fall onto the forehead of the fire centipede that was as fleeting as a straw.
And, he almost heard the sound of his heart being pierced and his blood spurting out.
But at that moment, something extraordinary happened.
As his soft and faint sword attack fell onto the fleeting forehead of the fire centipede, a power beyond imagination instantly erupted, as if a huge sun was rolling on the sword, emitting a heavenly light that blinded all!
Situ Mingyue's eyes were wide open. The fleeting fire centipede had a carapace that was as hard as heavenly iron, but under this sword attack was cut like tofu!
The huge arch of the sickle sword energy continued forward, unscathed tearing apart the centipede!
The high-speed body of the fire centipede that at first glance seemed to be grabbed at that moment by the invisible giant hand, completely breaking the laws of physics as it froze in the air!
Then, a golden line spread from the forehead of the fire centipede and began projecting backwards. In the next moment, the fleeting fire centipede was sliced into two!
Pa! Pa!
Two halves of the fire centipede that were fleeting fell to the ground. Only after the golden light disappeared did blood begin to gush out and dye the ground red.
As the saying goes, centipedes can still move even when dead. Even if this fleeting fire centipede split in two, he should still have the breath of life and should still be able to fight hard, becoming a great threat.
But after being cut off by Situ Mingyue's sword attack, the fleeting fire centipede had fallen completely, without the slightest trace of life remaining within it.
As Situ Mingyue watched all of this, her eyes turned as big as the moon. Even his mouth that seemed to carry evil intent had fallen open because he was unable to believe everything that had just happened.
The scene before him was the same as him killing a fleeting fire centipede, a savage beast that was on par with a high-level Life Destruction powerhouse. Of course ... This is absolutely impossible!
Situ Mingyue had been able to clearly sense that at that short moment, heavenly strength seemed to be slashing from the void. This power had fused with his sword attack, thus creating the miracle he had witnessed.
And the origin of this power seems to be behind it. He turned around and looked at Lin Ming.
At this moment, Lin Ming was standing only three feet away from him. There was no panic on his face, but only calmness. His skin was even slightly ... dark!
His eyes were as deep and incomprehensible as a pool of ice, causing anyone who looked into them to feel a little.
This kind of coldness seemed to stem from anger. It could also be for another reason, but it was not at all because he was afraid.
While facing this fleeting fire centipede that could kill the Life's destruction center, even Situ Mingyue became confused. However, this young man was not afraid at all.
He did not know why, but when Situ Mingyue looked at Lin Ming, she felt a terrifying unease in her heart.
He would never believe that this person who looked like an idiot and acted like an evil young master could have such a steady and calm expression.
He even had the feeling that this Lin An had a heaven-shaking secret!
This ambush was clearly aimed at Lin An and not himself.
But even though they sent a powerful ferocious beast, their attempt to kill Lin An had failed. Where did that power come from?
It shouldn't have come from .. Lin An, right?
Situ Mingyue looked at Lin Ming and was completely unable to believe that someone like Lin An, who was younger than him, would have the ability to kill a fire centipede at a glance. It just goes beyond all common sense.
At this moment, a faint shuffling sound resounded from within the forest. If one did not listen carefully then it would be impossible to detect them.
Who's!?
Situ Mingyue's heart felt gripping. Someone was here, and they were even a master!
However, he felt that this hidden person did not approach them but instead fled.
That's right .. There are people who have destroyed the signal with the Law of Darkness. This person was likely from Lin Academy, and perhaps even the teacher assigned to protect them!
They take part in the murder, but after failing they decide to escape.
Although they did not know how the fire centipede that was fleeting died or who killed it, it was not, all they knew for sure was that anyone who could kill a fire centipede that glimpsed so easily could also easily kill them.
This was because their strength was no greater than that of the fleeting fire centipede.
"They fled . ”
Situ Mingyue did not know what to do. He was just staring at Lin Ming. He naturally could not stop it. He wanted to see what he would choose to do.
Lin Ming furrowed his brows together. He said to Situ Mingyue, “Why don't you run? What's the point of standing there like an idiot? Are you waiting for them to gather reinforcements so they can come back to kill you? ”
Lin Ming's words were like a bucket of cold water flowing over Situ Mingyue's head
Just a few breaths of time ago he angrily shouted to Lin Ming that he was an idiot who stood around and waited for death to take him. Now, these words had been returned to him.
What Lin Ming said was true. The current situation is not clear so quickly going to seek help is the most sensible option to make. If they stayed here then there might be more people coming to kill them; it was extremely dangerous.
Just before he was about to escape, he turned to Lin Ming for advice on who to find. After all, with the current complicated situation, he had no idea who was here to kill them and who was here to save them. If he accidentally found someone dangerous and was brought into a trap, such a death would not be justified at all.
However, the moment he turned around he discovered that during the brief moment of diversion now, Lin Ming had already disappeared …
