Chapter 202: Rescue
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Dong Qianqiu was obviously affected by it as she slowed down. She only managed to turn with much difficulty and shot out an ice spear.
The Sinister Dark Demon Tiger smacked the ice spear with its paw as a purple light flickered in its cold and demonic pupils. The surrounding space darkened once again as a purplish black light surrounded Dong Qianqiu’s body, preventing her from escaping.
It opened its ferocious mouth, and in a moment, she was about to be devoured.
Dong Qianqiu’s beautiful complexion had lost all color. Despite struggling, her cultivation was only so. She had gone all out to only escape by a breadth of a hair; but in a blink of an eye, the monstrous soul beast had caught up again.
It’s over! She subconsciously closed her eyes.
Her talent and gift were useless in the face of an absolute expert.
At this moment, the location at which the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger was pouncing onto Dong Qianqiu was right beneath Lan Xuanyu’s tree.
Dong Qianqiu already sensed the bloodstench and held her breath. Her brows were wrinkled as she unleashed ice thorns as a last attempt to injure the opponent.
But suddenly, she felt her waist tighten as though something had grabbed onto her. In the next moment, her entire being was pulled into the air.
More importantly, she felt a familiar surge of power returning to her as her Soul Power and bloodline boiled the instant her waist was tightened.
She opened her eyes in surprise to see a perfectly stretched-taut gold vine in front of her.
She immediately turned to the crown of the tree, and the two pairs of eyes met. In disbelief, Dong Qianqiu cried out, “How could it be you?”
Lan Xuanyu gave her a bitter smile. “I really want to know the answer to that as well.”
While talking, they both sensed an extremely cold aura surged up from below. The tree they were on actually turned dark purple and quickly dissolved as the dark purplish qi coiled upward.
Lan Xuanyu pulled the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and grabbed Dong Qianqiu into his embrace. With a launch from his toes, he quickly leaped away. He released the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass from his left hand at the same time, and shot it 10 meters out onto another large tree. With a pull, the two of them swung into the distance.
Dong Qianqiu was held tightly by him, causing both of them to be extremely close. An unfamiliar sensation that she had never encountered surged in as the fresh and cool sunlight beamed down on her. This caused her face to flush red.
The instant they swung away, the large tree behind them dissolved like snow. The Sinister Dark Demon Tiger suddenly lifted its head up, stared at the two with its cold eyes, and unleashed a deafening hiss.
All the animal noises in a hundred-meter radius immediately disappeared. Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu were able to clearly feel a fear arising involuntarily from the depths of their hearts.
Roar of Fear! One of Sinister Dark Demon Tiger’s innate skill.
But at the same time, Lan Xuanyu who had released the golden- and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass felt as though they were provoked as they released a dazzling radiance.
When he felt the fear arise in his heart, he also sensed that the gold-and-silver vortex within his chest suddenly lit up with a faint rainbow-colored light aura that immediately dyed the entire gold-and-silver vortex the same color.
An indignant emotion suddenly filled Lan Xuanyu’s perception. Just like how a tyrant had been provoked by a lower being, he opened his mouth uncontrollably and unleashed a dragon roar to the sky.
“ANG—” When he unleashed the dragon roar, one of Lan Xuanyu’s eye turned to gold, while the other turned silver. As though struck by a thunderbolt, the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger that was prepared to pounce into the air staggered and almost fell upon hearing the dragon roar. Amid the originally icy-cold eyes revealed an uncontrollable fear, and it did not dare give chase as its first instinct.
On the other hand, Dong Qianqiu felt a completely different feeling. The fear that had appeared in her heart was instantly overwritten and was filled with rage from the dragon roar. Even so, the boy that held her in his embrace only had the fragrant and warm feeling of sunlight. But in the next moment, the feeling transformed into a passionate and intense manly sensation, causing the bloodline in her body to be stimulated and making her feel somewhat intoxicated.
Lan Xuanyu quickly retracted the Blue Silver Grass and unleashed another ahead that curled onto another tree branch. The two swung further out at a rapid rate.
The dragon roar made him feel extremely uninhibited, and the gold-and-silver vortex within his body started to revolve extremely quickly. The weakened bloodline from using the Martial Soul Fusion technique seemed to have recovered as well. But he knew that while the dragon roar he used was able to completely suppress Lu Qianxun and win the battle, it was not as effective against the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger. After all, the disparity in strength between the two parties was too huge, and they had no other choice but to run.
“We can’t run together, we need to split in a bit. I will lure it away, and you have to run in the opposite direction.” Lan Xuanyu whispered anxiously.
Dong Qianqiu only woke from her stupor when she heard his voice. Without waiting for her to speak, Lan Xuanyu suddenly exerted a force with his right hand and pushed her in the other direction. At the same time, the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass coiled around her waist released a large amount of power into her bloodline that gave her a burst of strength, inciting Dong Qianqiu’s own aura.
“Quick, go!” Lan Xuanyu roared as the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass extended to its maximum length before letting her loose.
The Sinister Dark Demon Tiger was too strong and only by escaping separately did they have a chance. Furthermore, it was clear that his dragon roar had attracted the big fella’s attention, and it was most probable that it would chase after him.
It was the same against the Three-Eyed Witch Ape. He had done the exact same thing and lured the Three-Eyed Witch Ape away, giving Ye Lingtong the chance to survive. But he had suffered severely after.
Maybe Ye Lingtong was grateful to him, but Lan Xuanyu did not have a good impression of her because of the incident. He got out of the coma through much difficulty but encountered her again in the Elite Junior Class. At that time, he had called out alone with the intent of letting her try if his Blue Silver Grass was able to buff her dragon-related bloodline but was pulled away by Lu Qianxun. After choosing to be with Lu Qianxun, she did not listen to Lan Xuanyu’s explanation.
It was only after that that the relation between the two completely fell apart, and it was then that their only thread of friendship disappeared. What made him completely disappointed in her was in the qualifiers. He made the decision to save her with his teammates, yet she betrayed their kindness. Although they were still young, Lan Xuanyu truly detested her selfishness — to the point that it had turned into anger.
Ye Lingtong was a beautiful girl, and it could be said that the two grew up together. More or less, Lan Xuanyu treated her as a childhood friend. But it was also because of this — as Ye Lingtong disappointed him again and again and even went to the extent of betraying him — how could he tolerate it? He was less than 12 years old!
When Ye Lingtong was sent out of the test, did Lan Xuanyu feel regret? In fact, there was. He felt that he had let Ye Lingtong down. She was a girl, after all. Despite her wrongdoings, she was ultimately still a girl.
But when he was sent out of the test and heard her unreasonable and furious scream, that bit of guilt disappeared completely.
After everything that happened with Ye Lingtong, Lan Xuanyu’s emotions toward girls changed. But when he saw Dong Qianqiu in danger, he did not hesitate to make a move. It was a desire to protect. Furthermore, to him, Dong Qianqiu was completely different compared to Ye Lingtong.
