Chapter 708: Avalanche
“I… I know that I’m in the wrong. I shouldn’t have any s.e.xual desire toward Siying. I… shouldn’t have jumped in front of you. I beg you… please stop kicking me. You’re going to rupture my lungs…”
Ren Maohua, barely able to lift his head, begged Xiao Luo for forgiveness. Blood was dripping from his nose and mouth, and his face twisted in agony. He was so horrified that his intestines were turning green. He was wondering if he had offended some evil spirits. How did he end up provoking a demon such as Xiao Luo?
All the NSA members witnessing the incident from afar remained quiet. They were all so shocked by what Xiao Luo had done that the hair stood on ends. It was not only cruel but extremely vicious, and they sincerely prayed for Ren Maohua.
“Mie, enough! That’s enough!”
A strong-looking man appeared—it was King Kong. He knew he had to stop Xiao Luo, and said, “He’s going to die if you continue kicking him. Relax, I’m here. If he dares to hit on Night Bird again, I’ll be the first one to cripple him!”
“Alright, I’ll give you some face.”
Xiao Luo replied and backed away. He owed King Kong one for sticking his neck out to help him at the park, and he gave way. Besides, Ren Maohua’s injuries looked extremely severe and it would most likely take him at least two months to recover. Xiao Luo expected that he’d be able to return from Arcana Land in two months.
He turned around and walked toward Ji Siying.
“Wait for my return.” He only muttered those four words.
“Mm.”
Ji Siying nodded in response. She was more than willing to be Xiao Luo’s mistress. It would not bother her if she did not have any status, and as she nodded, she unconsciously touched the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Xiao Luo raised his hand and touched her cheeks. Ji Siying’s face turned red from embarra.s.sment as Ren Maohua watched with envy. Xiao Luo then slowly rose into the air and hovered like a G.o.d. For those who witnessed it, they felt a strange compulsion to bow and wors.h.i.+p him.
“Oh, my G.o.d, what am I looking at?”
“Can a man float in thin air like this without relying on any flying device?”
“Has Mie turned into some kind of G.o.d?”
All the NSA members turned pale when they saw Xiao Luo floating in the air, and they couldn’t describe the shock that they were experiencing.
King Kong and Ji Siying were equally shocked as well. The former had seen the people from the Light Clan floating in the air, and it was only a couple of days, but Xiao Luo had already mastered that technique.
Ren Maohua could barely feel the pain in his body anymore. He couldn’t help but gasp. His ancestors must have been putting in overtime to keep him alive, or how could he have survived a fight with such a terrifying being?
“Lad, you’ve learned how to fly in such a short time. Good, good… I believe the Light Clan will regret their actions, and very soon their intestines will turn green.” With loud admiration, Elder Long launched himself in the air from the NSA headquarters and hovered in the air alongside Xiao Luo.
In the next moment, Xiao Quanren joined them as well, and slowly floated up in the air with a cheerful look on his face. “Luo, your ability to learn something quickly is simply remarkable!” he said.
Xiao Luo could only laugh at hearing that. He turned to Elder Long and said, “Senior, let’s go now.”
“Alright, let’s go!”
Elder Long stroked his non-existent beard and was the first to transform into a stream of light, before he beamed toward Tianshan, a mountain somewhere in Yili, Xinjiang.
Xiao Luo followed behind him, and subsequently, Xiao Quanren tailed after them.
The three of them flew quickly. Any bystanders on the ground who did not look up and observe, would not have been able to tell that three persons were flying across the sky.
“Oh, my G.o.d, now that everyone can fly, there’s no need for airplanes anymore!” King Kong quipped, wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead as he gazed at the trio.
Ji Siying looked into the sky as Xiao Luo flew away. She prayed silently for Xiao Luo to return safely.
…
As he pa.s.sed quickly over mountains and rivers and soared through white clouds, Xiao Luo was getting a panoramic view of the vast mountains and rivers in Hua Nation.
This was normally a very pleasant experience, but Xiao Luo didn’t have the time to enjoy this. Su Li’s abduction was weighing down on his heart. He had only one goal now, and that was to become stronger.
Tianshan was one of the seven greatest mountains in this world. Running from east to west, it stretched 1,700 kilometers and covered an area of about 570,000 square kilometers. There were gra.s.slands, cliffs, high mountains, the Tianchi lake, and a huge snowy mountain in the area.
Xiao Luo and his two seniors arrived at the vicinity of the mountain about four hours later. Other than the distant peak that was covered by snow all year round, the surrounding areas had been converted to a tourist spot.
Looking at the cows and sheep grazing in the gra.s.sland, Xiao Luo recalled Gu Qianxue mentioning that she used to catch goats and roast them.
They landed at the top of a snowy mountain. An icy wind was blowing, and the weather was below 0 degrees Celsius. The three men were wearing rather thin clothing and were not wearing any down jackets or thick coats to keep themselves warm. But since they had already achieved a high level of cultivation, they were no longer affected by the cold and could simply use internal force to form a layer of energy to keep the cold out.
“Senior, where do we find the Tianshan Elder?” Xiao Luo asked Elder Long as soon as he landed. In front of them was a view of snowy mountains, and there didn’t seem to be any traces of human beings around.
“This old man here doesn’t know either, so let this old man shout and try calling for her!”
Elder Long cleared his throat and then channeled his internal force to shout toward the direction of the snowy mountains in front of him. “Junior Sister… sister… sister. It’s me, Senior Brother… brother… brother. Please show yourself, I need to see you… you… you!”
His voice reverberated across every single peak, nook, and cranny of the sprawling mountain range. A piercing voice that was loud and forceful.
Xiao Quanren was a little confused and asked, “Elder Long, why do you have to repeat the last word of every sentence thrice?”
“Ah, it’s called an echo. It distinguishes my masterly status from the common man. If I don’t repeat it thrice, then there’s no difference between me and an ordinary human being,” Elder Long explained.
“…” Xiao Luo said.
“…” Xiao Quanren said.
His far-fetched explanation left them speechless. Xiao Luo had initially thought that this was a coded form of communication he had with the Tianshan Elder, but it turned out he was creating the echo to give himself a master’s persona.
“Why is he not showing himself? Don’t tell me he didn’t hear me shouting for him?”
Elder Long furrowed his eyebrows and cleared his throat once again. Then he shouted at the snowy mountain once more, “Junior Sister… sister… sister. It’s me, Senior Brother… brother… bro…”
POW!
A figure appeared right behind him like a flash of lightning, kicking him in his rear end. Elder Long’s voice stopped abruptly, and he fell flat on the snow-covered ground.
Xiao Luo and Xiao Quanren glanced at the figure in surprise. It was a woman in a red tunic under a black robe. She looked like a seventeen-year-old girl. Her skin was very fair, her cheeks rosy, and her hair coifed in three upturned pigtails tied up with red ribbons. And though she looked like a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl, her body exuded an ancient aura.
“You stinky old man who refuses to die! Why are you shouting like a crazy fool? Are you trying to create an avalanche!” The girl pointed at Elder Long and chided him roundly.
Elder Long quickly got up and stroked his non-existent beard, maintaining his masterly bearing in front of Xiao Luo and Xiao Quanren. He smiled at the girl and said, “Junior Sister, I have absolute control over my powers, and I dare say that I will never cause an avalanche!”
But as soon as he finished speaking, they heard a loud rumbling sound, and the ground shook—an avalanche had occurred! Looking into the distance, tons of snow was rolling down like a roaring beast, resembling a tsunami in a raging storm. It was fierce and mighty.
