Chapter 1385: Rong Xiu

Slap!

Behind him, many blood whips attacked them! They were like sharp claws that surrounded Rong Xiu completely!

Rong Xiu hugged Chu Liuyue tightly in his arms and suddenly turned around! Harsh murderous intent flashed across his cold and dark eyes.

There seemed to be golden fire burning within them!

Rumble!

The golden fire formed a barrier that appeared before him! It blocked all the blood whips outside!

The two forces slammed against each other harshly.

Rong Xiu’s shoulders sank, and his two feet instantly went half an inch into the ground.

“Rong Xiu, leave her behind, and I’ll let you off today.” The cold and sinister voice sounded like a venomous snake slowly circling one’s heart, causing one to feel cold from within.

Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled up, but his smile was very cold. “It has been so many years, but you haven’t changed your habit of daydreaming.”

“Rong Xiu!” This sentence clearly agitated the other party, causing him to be instantly enraged. “Since this is so, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Once he said this, blood color overwhelmed the copper mirror! An intense bloody aura exuded from within!

Then, a translucent blood-colored figure suddenly formed in midair—it was a middle-aged man with empty eyes. His expression was stiff and listless, like he was a puppet.

He rapidly flew toward Rong Xiu!

Following this, a second figure appeared. It attacked from another direction and surrounded Rong Xiu!

Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes. These two people are clearly exalted warriors that are even stronger than legendary warriors! 

“You’re willing to spend so much.” Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows slightly, and the golden fire burned in his eyes even more intensely.

This special puppet without a physical body or Holy Body was formed secretly by the other party using real cultivators. Once it was summoned, it could only experience one battle before it completely collapsed.

However, this had its advantages as well—this type of special puppet could usually give their all in battles! They could unleash all their strength in one go! This was one of the reasons why they were hard to beat.

“As long as I can make her stay, what does this damage count?” The other party laughed. “I allowed her to escape last time, but… It won’t be so easy now!”

Rong Xiu looked down at the person in his arms.

Chu Liuyue seemed to be completely unconscious as her eyes were tightly shut, and her face was pale. Her dense and long lashes trembled slightly, as if she were trapped in some scary nightmare.

Rong Xiu’s heart seemed to be forcefully squeezed. He hugged her even tighter and carefully raised her head, burying it in his chest.

Confirming that she wouldn’t suddenly wake up and see everything, he looked over.

“Let’s end this quickly,” he lightly said.

If Chu Liuyue could wake up now, she would see that the current Rong Xiu was significantly different from before. His clear and demonic appearance was as calm as water, but it also seemed like it was covered in ice that wouldn’t melt in a thousand years. No matter what happened, nothing could cause his expression to falter.

The most shocking thing was his eyes—one was sparkling gold, and the other was intensely dark.

The golden fire blazed intensely, and the holy light glowed as if it could burn all the stained and dirty items in the world cleanly!

The intensely dark ink seemed cold and distinguished as if it could swallow the entire world whole!

These two intense and contrasting colors appeared on him now, but they didn’t seem out of place. Instead, they looked more harmonious than ever.

“My patience is limited,” he said every word carefully.

His cold voice reverberated throughout the space like a judge’s ruling!

…

“Pfft! What kind of stupid place is this!? We have been busy for so long, but there isn’t any sign of it opening!”

In the gully, the crowd gathered around and tried countless times, but that silver barrier still wouldn’t budge.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but scold, “That Chu Yue is a mere stage-nine warrior, but he can freely come in and out of this place. In contrast, so many of us are working together, but there’s no use at all! What the hell!”

Once he said this, the other people present had ugly expressions. Which one of us doesn’t have stronger abilities than Chu Yue? But no matter how hard we try, we can’t open the barrier! It’s fine if everyone can’t go in, yet there was Chu Yue, who could enter and leave as he wished! With such a comparison, who can feel good about it? 

“The people from Ling Xiao Academy are indeed scheming. They left just like that!”

If Hua Feng and the others were still here, they would definitely demand reasoning from them!

Thump!

Jin Di pierced his spear into the ground.

The rock was hard, and it caused his hand to feel numb. This made his originally displeased feeling even worse.

“There must be something wrong with this place! And that Chu Yue—he definitely isn’t someone simple!”

To think that I still thought of the other party as an ordinary young man in the beginning… I also didn’t care much about him. Now, it seems like I was especially wrong! If he really was normal, he couldn’t have possibly stolen that treasure from Jin Lei back then and even caused Jin Lei’s death! Jin Di slapped his forehead loudly. Why did I not think of all of this earlier?! 

“I think that we can’t go on like this. Why don’t we wait for Chu Yue to come back and get him to directly open the barrier? I think… this shouldn’t be too difficult for him, right?”

A middle-aged man snorted coldly and seemed displeased. His tone was rather strange. “There are demigods and true gods here, yet we’re not as good as a stage-nine warrior. If word goes out, I’m afraid nobody will believe it!”

“Enough! What’s the use of talking about this now? Besides, Chu Yue has already been taken away, and he might not even be able to come back!”

“Oh right, speaking of this, do you know who the group of people that brought him away was?”

The crowd shook their heads and expressed their ignorance.

Jin Di sneered. “I don’t know their backgrounds, but I can tell that the elder at the front… is a true exalted warrior! Don’t forget that the one who wants to see Chu Yue… is his master!”

What kind of person would the master of an exalted warrior be? Casually thinking about it sent chills down one’s spines!

“Whoever is willing to wait, just go ahead!”

Waiting for Chu Yue to come back might even be less hopeful than waiting for him to break through to become an exalted warrior!

This made quite a few people calm down, but the situation in front was a stalemate. They couldn’t open the barrier even if they worked together, and Chu Yue’s return was still a question.

Would they have to waste their time here?!

Jin Di knitted his brows tightly and looked at the door. What exactly… is inside?! 

…

On the other side, Elder Hua Feng and the rest had left far away!

The sky started to snow again.

The cold winds howled, and every step used up a lot of force.

Everyone silently walked forward.

After some time, Elder Hua Feng looked at the green jade plaque in his hands and finally heaved a sigh of relief. “They’re right in front!”
