The Villain Has Something to Say

Chapter 32: Sworn Friends for Life or Death (2)

The Burning River was indeed too dangerous. Beyond all question, he would be killed by the dragon had he not withdrawn a certain distance to evade the attack!

“Dragons were born in the seventh level. This dragon was in the level of Out-of-Body at least.”

“That man? Is he one of the senior cultivators of Yu Xiao Peak if he also uses martial arts in Nine Heavenly Seizure Record?”

“And…When was that day?”

All questions remained unsolvable.

Luo Jianqing couldn’t figure out the first two questions by his present cultivation base, but he felt an alarm going off in his mind with all his hair bristling when he confronted the last question. Especially the day when he looked at Huoyan River flowing into or out of the opening of the valley, he was seized with panic.

The next moment, endless astral wind blew from that small opening!

The wind blotted out the earth, and darkness enveloped the sky!

For fear that Huoyan River would incur an inundation, Luo Jianqing had already drilled a hole in the ground beside the cliff and made a huge formation by countless Xuan Level magic treasures and Earth Level treasures. At present, he was planning to hasten to get into the hole to hide, but he suddenly looked up at the cave on the other side at the moment he was about to enter the hole. Holding his Floating Frost Sword in hesitation, Luo Jianqing unexpectedly touched the ground with his tiptoes and entered that cave rapidly.

“Luo Jianqing!”

There came Mo Qiu’s voice, in anger.

Not allowing him to speak, Luo Jianqing directly picked up Mo Qiu and carried him on the shoulder, then they fled out of the cave quickly.

At this very moment, the astral wind had already blown into the cave!

The moment they made it to the cave entrance, a gust of astral wind blew on their face, which made Luo Jianqing’s pupils contracted because of nervous tension. But he sidestepped to avoid it immediately.

Bang!

The cave behind them crumbled to dust.

Mo Qiu widened his eyes and said in surprise,

“The astral wind endowed by Demon Exalt Eagle, the Wind-broken Monster of Heaven Level !”

Luo Jianqing could not hear Mo Qiu’s words clearly, he just carried Mo Qiu’s weak body with Mo Qiu’s head dangling on his back. He took out Floating Frost Sword, cleaved all kinds of stone along the way, and carved out a new way to the tunnel.

Bang!

Everything in the valley was blown into dust by this horrific astral wind!

Ten zhangs!

Five zhangs!

One zhang!

One chi…

Rumbling!!!

Suddenly, a gust of astral wind blew from Luo Jianqing’s side and was ready to hack Mo Qiu. Clenching his teeth, Luo Jianqing turned around to protect Mo Qiu without hesitation. Floating Frost Sword uttered a cry of terror while innumerable forces had already approached and torn Luo Jianqing’s cuff to tatters before astral wind closed in on.

Tiny blazes of wind scratched Luo Jianqing’s fingers and cheeks, left strips of scarlet wounds.

At the last moment, Luo Jianqing heaved a deep sigh, then suddenly took out a cyan bamboo umbrella.

When the cyan bamboo umbrella hit the fierce astral wind, its cyan ribs went up in smoke instantly and its fabric also crumbled into dust. However, during this brief period, Luo Jianqing did not give it a second look but hid into the channel with Mo Qiu and immediately performed incantation gestures to open the huge formation in the channel.

Immediately, pieces of gold magic seals sparked in the dark channel.

Mo Qiu who had already been thrown to the ground when they entered the channel opened his mouth wide and did not know what to say when he saw this. After quite a long time, he chuckled and said,

“Luo Jianqing of Taihua Mountain, you used the method of adopted by fiend cultivator to make this Earth Level Heaven-demon huge formation. Funny, so funny. What if Xuan Lingzi knows that his only disciple has become a fiend cultivator, I don’t know what his reaction would he…”

Before he could finish his words, Luo Jianqing struck his cold Floating Frost Sword on his neck.

The smile on Mo Qiu’s face gradually disappeared.

Luo Jianqing said with a poker face,

“Make an internal demon oath that you will never tell anybody what happened today.”

Mo Qiu satirized, “For what?”

Luo Jianqing moved Floating Frost Sword and scratched a bloodstain on Mo Qiu’s neck, and said,

“For I can kill you now.”

Mo Qiu kept silent.

After a time of a cup of tea, he said in a low voice,

” I swear that I won’t tell anybody what I have seen today for my whole life. If I break the oath, I will be swallowed up by an internal demon, and I will never be spared even after death.

Luo Jianqing put down Floating Frost Sword with satisfaction, but Mo Qiu chuckled,

“Why did you save me, Luo Jianqing? I have said I would kill you if I see you again. I can still tear you to shreds in the time of breath even if I have not recovered all my strength.

Hearing Mo Qiu’s soft laughter, Luo Jianqing squinted at him and said,

“So are you going to kill me now?”

Mo Qiu was speechless.

In the narrow dark channel, their bodies slightly leaned against each other. Because all cultivators were blessed with a brilliant vision, Luo Jianqing could see all Mo Qiu’s actions clearly, he also could launch an attack before Mo Qiu could play tricks. At the same time, the astral wind was still blowing outside the channel. It impacted on this Earth Level Heaven-demon huge formation and made the formation quake slightly.

Closing his eyes slowly, Luo Jianqing was recovering his spiritual power consumed just now. At this time, he heard a husky voice, “Thank you…”

Luo Jianqing was still closing his eyes as if he had heard nothing.

But Mo Qiu did not say any words.

The astral wind blew for three days and three nights. After making sure that there was no menace outside, Luo Jianqing leaned out and observed the outside world for a while.

The valley was worn out with all plants and flowers wiped out by astral wind, and even stones were ground into dust. Only smooth cliffs around the valley and the flowing Huoyan River were still tranquil as if nothing had happened.

Lifting Mo Qiu’s collar, Luo Jianqing carried him out of the channel.

After putting him on the ground, Luo Jianqing turned around and walked away without looking at him. But nobody had expected that Mo Qiu would say aloud, “Luo Jianqing, are you leaving now?”

Luo Jianqing ignored him and continued walking forward.

Mo Qiu smiled gently, “If I say I have roughly know where this place is, do you still want to go away?”

Luo Jianqing suddenly stopped and turned around.

With his smile gradually disappeared, Mo Qiu said seriously,

“I guess, it should be the ninth layer of Liuyanvalley.”

Liuyan valley had a total of nine layers, and Luo Jianqing only went into the other eight layers in his previous life, because he was kept out by an invisible fireward when he was going into the ninth layer. Taking more than half a year to break into it, Luo Jianqing’s purpose was simple – to get more Yan fruits and make Xuan Lingzi proud.

However, all his efforts were in vain.

Because his junior fellow apprentice Li Xiuchen had got hundreds of Yan fruits when he left Liuyan valley one year later.

All the people said, “Fellow cultivator Li deserves to be the apprentice of Sir Xuan Lingzi!”

Thinking of here, Luo Jianqing cleared his sore throat and said, “If it was the ninth layer, why there is no Yan fruit here?”

Mo Qiu did not reply but just said, “My injury has not cured yet, and this is the first time I get out of the cave. Luo Jianqing, it is all your fault. If you bring me out earlier, we have already known where this place is.”

Luo Jianqing slapped Mo Qiu’s face with his sword,

“Don’t beat about the bush.”

Mo qiu opened his eyes wide and covered his face incredulously, he said,

“You slapped my face!”

Luo Jianqing replied, “Cultivator Mo, there has been no compatibility between Dao Cultivators and Fiend Cultivators since ancient time. I do not kill you and give you a way out just because of our friendship over the past days.

“You!”

After getting in a huff for a time of a stick of incense, Mo Qiu glared at Luo Jianqing in anger when Luo Jianqing was going to lift his sword again, he said,

“Do you see that Huoyan River? Actually, it is neither a river nor flame, it is blood. In those days, fire Heaven Level Demon Exalt fell here and change into this Liuyan valley. His heart blood remained here and became the Huoyan River. And the astral wind before was the talent of another Heaven Level Demon Exalt. All the people believed that this fire Demon Exalt was killed by the human cultivator. But, as far as I know, he fought a ferocious fight with another demon exalt, and perished together.

Luo Jianqing asked, “According to what you said, since another Demon Exalt could kill the fire Demon Exalt, why there is Liuyanvalley, not Gangfeng valley?”

Mo Qiu sneered at Luo Jianqing and looked at him, “You should ask the elders of Taihua Mountain’ Yuxia peak. They came here and plunder magic treasures every a thousand years. No matter how many magic treasures there were, they would be looted by them. They might also take away this Huoyan River if it was possible. Everybody say Taihua Mountain is the leader of Righteous Party. Bullshit! You people from Yuxiao Peak are the most tricky and slippery. Posing as a person of high moral, you think… Ah! You dare to slap me again!”

Luo Jianqing took away Floating Frost Sword unhurriedly and said, “You are talking nonsense. How do you know these things since you have cultivated less than fifty years? How dare you slander my elders. Mo Qiu, I’m not kill you today, but if I find you say it again, I must slap you again!”

Clenching his teeth, Mo Qiu said,

“Well, very well, you’d better remember it!”

Though Luo Jianqing had quarreled with Mo Qiu like this, in the following days, he still made a cave with Mo Qiuand and cultivated here. Seeing that Mo Qiu did not use any pill medicine that he left before, Luo Jianqing directly got them back.

Mo Qiu satirized, “Hypocritical cultivator from Taihua Mountain.”

Luo Jianqing gave a flick of his sleeve and pulled Mo Qiu in his front.

Seeing this, Mo Qiu subconsciously wanted to protect his face for his spirit power had not recovered yet. But unexpectedly, Luo Jianqing’s sword did not fall. Removing his hands in surprise, Mo Qiu only saw Luo Jianqing was operating his spirit power and healing himself.

Luo Jianqing said in a cold voice, “Cultivator Mo, you get well early and we could come out of here early.

Mo Qiu chuckled and thought secretly: That’s more like it
