The Night King: The Asura
Ch-193's chat. Both journeys
Xie Long then left Huanran who was still silent, usually he would stop Xie Long or try to follow him, but this time, Xie Long's words really managed to make him silent.
"grandmother..."
Memories of the past re-emerge in Huanran's mind, memories that give him strength, memories that make him able to survive to the present, and the memory that made his heart even more certain if his future was Xie Long.
"Zilong, I will make you sure that I am your future!" huanran said, then rushed after Xie Long who was already very far away from him.
"Zilong, wait!"
"What else?"
"I beg you, let me come with you, if you allow it, I promise I won't say much" Huanran asked.
"You'll just be a burden to me!" sahut Xie Long's.
Huanran shook his head, "No! I promise not to be a burden, I will fight with you, I will do anything for you, so I beg you!"
Xie Long stopped his steps, then turned to Huanran, his face that did not show any expression made Huanran a little afraid, even he did not dare to look Xie Long in the eyes directly.
"Huh" Xie Long let out a long sigh, "Remember, don't let you piss me off!"
"Thank you, Zilong!"
"My name is Lin Xie Long."
"I'd rather call you Zilong."
"Of course, it's up to you!"
***
The days of return passed quickly, more than a week had passed since Xie Long left the city of Lightning, and during that time, his journey was accompanied by Huanran.
At first Xie Long hoped that the veiled girl would make a mistake or behave as before, so that she had a reason to leave or expel Huanran, but unfortunately, Huanran's attitude completely changed.
He who previously talked a lot and had an annoying attitude, now even more silent, even the annoying behavior that always made Xie Long upset, seemed to have completely disappeared from within him.
In addition to being much calmer and less talkative, Huanran also proved that he was not a burden to Xie Long, even often he fought when Xie Long faced a strong Beast, which he was not a burden, or Beast in large numbers.
"You've changed a lot, haven't you?"
"Hmm?"
"I didn't mean anything, just to be amazed by your change of attitude."
"I've been like this for a long time."
"really?"
Huanran nodded, "I acted annoyingly just to attract the attention of others, because all this time I was always ignored by the people around me."
"What about your family, are they acting like that to you?"
"My family's long dead."
"Sorry!"
"For what?"
"Because it reminds you of your family that is gone" replied Xie Long.
"Have it, don't think too much."
"Where are you from?"
"From somewhere very far away."
While chatting, Xie Long's instincts suddenly sensed the existence of danger around them, out of curiosity, he then released his soul power, and sure enough, they were being watched by a group of people.
"What's up, Zilong?"
"It looks like we have to fight" Xie Long replied.
Not long after Xie Long finished his remark, the people who had previously been watching them finally appeared, their number of around ten people with each cultivation were at the Heaven Spiritual realm.
"We really didn't expect to find a couple who were lost in the woods."
"Boss, I don't think they're lost."
"You mean?"
"Haha!" the cultivators laughed loudly when they heard the words of one of his friends.
Meanwhile, Xie Long and Huanran were silent at the conversation of the cultivators, not out of fear for the cultivators, they were both observing the enemy force they were about to encounter.
"The highest one is at the eight-star Heaven Spiritist realm, and I believe he is the one leading this group" Huanran said softly.
"They are still nothing" Xie Long replied, then pulled the sword that was located on his back.
"Well, well, they don't seem to accept us because we're bothering."
"Haha! Isn't this what we want?"
Xie Long smiled behind the cover of his face, then he disappeared from everyone's sight, a moment later, he had appeared again before one of them, and along with that, he had appeared again, the man's head suddenly slipped out of place.
"One done!" xie Long said, then attacked the man on his right side.
"Stop him!" said the leader of the group.
The eight cultivators advanced simultaneously and attacked Xie Long, while their leader instead set his sights on Huanran. A cynical smile formed on her lips when she saw Huanran's beauty from behind the transparent veil she was using.
"I must have this beautiful girl." he muttered, then darted towards Huanran.
On the other hand, Xie Long seemed to still focus on facing the other eight cultivators, he did not even feel the slightest worry about Huanran, whereas, the strength of the group leader could not be looked at with one eye.
"You'll be mine!" said the group leader after being in front of Huanran.
At the same time, the leader of the group directed his hands to capture Huanran, but unfortunately, Huanran had already disappeared shortly before the pair of hands managed to reach his body.
Wush!
Booms!
In the next instant, Huanran had appeared behind the leader of the group and casually, Huanran threw a kick at the man's head, which knocked him into a tree until the tree was destroyed by it.
"Cihh! Fucking woman! I won't forgive you!"
The leader of the cultivators was really upset and angry at Huanran, he had even taken out a sword from his storage ring to face Huanran, whereas Huanran himself, he still looked as silent as before.
Otherside.
The enemy that Xie Long faced, now only five people remained, while the other three had first caught up with their first friend, the state of the three of them was not much different, either, death with a severed head.
The horror began to appear on the faces of the five of them, but there was nothing they could do but to fight back, for no one wanted to die in vain without putting up a fight.
Even if they escaped and managed to escape, they would not survive either, because their true leader would definitely kill them, especially if they found out that the five of them had escaped the fight.
In other words, they already had no way to survive, except by defeating and killing Xie Long, even if they really managed to do so, otherwise, they would still die at the hands of Xie Long.
"Strike a single slash!"
A slash!
Two more lives were snatched away by Xie Long using one strike, but this time it was not their severed heads, but rather his body that was cut into two pieces.
"La-ran! He's not human!" said one of those still alive.
"Don't hope!"
"Seven slashes of death!"
Seven crescent-shaped sword energies of considerable size, created from the seven slashes that Xie Long did, the seven sword energies shot out at high speed and cut through anything they passed.
In the end, the remaining three cultivators were successfully eliminated by Xie Long, but their deaths were much more terrifying than the others, as their bodies had been cut into pieces.
"Huanran, it's time we get out of here, so hurry up!" xie Long said.
Huanran nodded, then prepared to take the life of the leader of the group.
"Tu-wait!"
"You guys can't kill me, I-I am a member of the Wind Dragon sect, if you kill me, then you will be hunted by the sect troops."
"really?"
The leader of the group nodded quickly, "If you want to survive, you better let go of me and follow me to the Wind Dragon sect!"
"Sorry, I'd rather slaughter all of you!" xie Long said, then nodded at Huanran and immediately, Huanran immediately took the life of the leader of the group.
