Chapter 339: If It Wasn’t For the Pressures of Life

“It was on the close by Boundary Marker Mountain of the Northern Areas. After I handed by yesterday, I heard villagers on the foot of the mountain saying {that a} Human-Confronted Xiao has been inflicting bother—killing livestock and even nearly killing villagers. This can be very ruthless and crafty.

“Final evening, I ambushed it within the village to get rid of it, however this Human-Confronted Xiao has already matured. It has a excessive degree of cultivation and is extraordinarily vigilant. The Human-Confronted Xiao fled the village. I went after it, but it surely nonetheless managed to flee into the Boundary Marker Mountain. By then, it was already nighttime, so I did not enterprise deep into the mountain, however Hua Hua remembers the Human-Confronted Xiao’s scent.

“Then I arrived in Taotie Metropolis simply earlier and occurred to listen to that you just’re in search of a Human-Confronted Xiao.”

The younger woman briefly recounted what she’d skilled.

Chu Liang had simply acquired the information concerning the Human-Confronted Xiao the day earlier than. The villagers had most likely simply unfold the information, and the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny then instantly handed the knowledge to Chu Liang. That was how Chu Liang managed to have such a well timed encounter with the younger woman who had fought the Human-Confronted Xiao.

Chu Liang glanced on the imposing giant black canine behind the younger woman and requested, “Is that Hua Hua?”

“Sure.” The woman nodded. “I am Ling’er, and that is Hua Hua.”

Chu Liang smiled and stated, “But it surely solely has one shade throughout its physique…”[1]

“Who stated that?” The younger woman, Miss Ling’er, huffed. “Hua Hua, stick out your tongue.”

The black canine had a slightly calm temperament. As an alternative of refusing the younger woman’s request, Hua Hua’s eyes simply confirmed a way of helplessness and nice affection towards her. It caught out its scarlet tongue briefly to indulge the younger woman’s request after which instantly retracted it.

That confirmed that Hua Hua didn’t have only one shade; it had two.

Chu Liang could not assist however chuckle at that. “Haha.”

Miss Ling’er thought for a second after which added, “Do not be fooled by its all black fur. It is acquired many ‘flowers'[2] in our hometown; it is intimate with many little feminine canine—”

“Woof woof…” Hua Hua hurriedly barked softly.

It gave the impression to be saying… Please cease. That is sufficient.

After leaving Taotie Metropolis, Miss Ling’er climbed onto Hua Hua’s again after which patted Chu Liang’s shoulder.

She stated, “Get on.”

Hua Hua was a big canine, but it surely was in the end nonetheless only a canine. With a teenage woman already sitting on its again, there wasn’t a lot room left for Chu Liang to get on as properly.

Seeing that, Chu Liang smiled and replied, “It is okay. I will simply comply with you.”

“Performing such as you’ve acquired all of it dealt with…” Miss Ling’er scoffed earlier than turning away. “Properly, as much as you. I will have Hua Hua fly slower.”

With a swoosh, Hua Hua soared into the sky.

As soon as Chu Liang was up within the sky as properly, he discovered that Miss Ling’er hadn’t merely spoken these phrases out of courtesy. As quickly as Hua Hua took off, it became a gust of black wind, flying at an unimaginable quick pace that a mean fourth-realm cultivator wouldn’t be capable to sustain with!

Fortuitously, Chu Liang’s sword-flying abilities have been far superior to that of cultivators on the similar realm as him. He was in a position to comply with Hua Hua on his sword at a gradual tempo.

After taking off, Miss Ling’er had meant to pat Hua Hua to have it decelerate. Nevertheless, she swept her divine sense over to Chu Liang and observed he was following at a gradual tempo. Feeling fairly shocked, Miss Ling’er did not get Hua Hua to decelerate in the long run.

The Boundary Marker Mountain was not removed from Taotie Metropolis; they arrived in a short while.

In historic instances, this place had been a part of a battlefield, and people had erected a monument there. It was thought of one in all Taotie Metropolis’s outposts. Even after so a few years, some historic ruins and artifacts would often be unearthed close by. However, most of them have been nugatory, so few individuals went there to seek for treasures. It was completely not like the traditional lands of the Southern Bastion Mountain, which attracted numerous explorers yearly like moths to a flame.

Hua Hua stopped on the mouth of a valley.

Miss Ling’er stated, “This was the place I misplaced observe of the Human-Confronted Xiao final evening. From right here, we will have Hua Hua paved the way because it follows the Human-Confronted Xiao’s path.”

He turned to see Miss Ling’er sitting on the bottom. There was a bleeding wound on her ankle.

Chu Liang’s first response was to not strategy however to ask a query.

“What occurred to you?”

“Hua Hua has gone mad! It is being managed by the Human-Confronted Xiao!” Miss Ling’er shouted.

A beam of black gentle all of a sudden shot out from above the nest. It was the massive black canine, Hua Hua!

Hua Hua charged out with a flurry of leaves and its mouth vast open. It was ferociously baring its enamel at Miss Ling’er!

It seemed like Hua Hua was about to snap its proprietor in half with one chew!

Miss Ling’er hurriedly moved to keep away from the assault, however she was too late. Hua Hua bit her thigh, and blood spurted out throughout!

“Save me! Assist me maintain it down!” Miss Ling’er yelled.

Hua Hua let loose a muffled growl because it bit Miss Ling’er repeatedly, seemingly decided to tear her aside!

Confronted with a choice at this important juncture, Chu Liang raised his hand, and a beam of golden gentle all of a sudden shot out from it!

Wham!

It was the Flying Brick Approach!

The Demon-Revealing Brick swiftly smashed into Miss Ling’er’s head, making her unhealthy state of affairs even worse!

Black gentle poured out of her head, and Miss Ling’er immediately remodeled right into a grey large-headed Human-Confronted Xiao!

The Human-Face Xiao howled in ache and cursed, “You wretched creature, I’ll by no means coexist with you below the identical sky!”

It turned out that this Miss Ling’er had been a Human-Confronted Xiao in disguise. The matured Human-Confronted Xiao had the power to vary its type, making it arduous to establish it. However sadly for the Human-Confronted Xiao, it had encountered a extremely expert spirit canine! There was even somebody who may throw bricks!

The true Miss Ling’er ran in and chased the Human-Confronted Xiao. She raised her hand and shot three beams of silver gentle towards the Human-Confronted Xiao.

Seeing that, the Human-Confronted Xiao gritted its enamel and turned to flee.

All of the sudden, there was the sound of flesh being ripped! The Human-Confronted Xiao tore off its personal leg!

Clang, clang, clang.

The three beams of silver gentle hit empty spots. The Human-Confronted Xiao was extraordinarily quick and disappeared into the forest within the blink of a watch!

At this second, a beam of white sword qi broke by way of the air!

Slash—

It cleaved the Human-Confronted Xiao in two with a single strike!

Behind the Human-Confronted Xiao, Chu Liang deactivated the sword seal with full satisfaction.

He snorted coldly and scoffed, “You assume you’ll be able to escape?”

1. Hua Hua is actually “flower” x2. Mainly means fairly and flowery. Stuff with flowers are additionally normally related to being vibrant, therefore Chu Liang’s little joke right here. ☜

2. This half here’s a phrase play on the canine’s identify once more. I assume it is referring to the time period 花花公子(hua hua gong zi), which implies playboy/casanova. It is most likely persevering with on from how the canine’s fur is not vibrant, simply plain black. Regardless of that, the feminine canine discover Hua Hua engaging. ☜
