Chapter 61: Waiting for Death Saplessly (3)

“You hand over my pill and I will show my mercy and let you die in a way you don’t deserve!”

The wounded flood dragon hovered around in the sky with his goggled eyes staring at Luo Jianqing, all the while dripping blood.

But even it was in such a wretched state, the domineering aura it exuded still sent Luo Jianqing quivering.

Luo Jianqing suddenly looked down on the pill in his palm and glared, “it’s you, isn’t it! The smell you gave off deliberately has led it to you!”

The next thing he knew, the sword was already out of its sheath.

“One Sword Turns Nine-Petaled Lotus!”

In an instant, the sword matrix kept spinning and with an ancient and devoid smell the sword turned into a blue lotus which charged forward towards the dragon. However, the flood dragon simply dismissed it with a wave of his claw and as the lotus broke up, Luo Jianqing took two steps back with blood

Luo put the pill into the interspatial ring and glared at the attacker with sword in hand.

“For a Nascent-Soul stage cultivator, to die in my hand is your honor.”

“Die, you evil creature!”

Luo exhausted all the skills he had learnt in the past and kept hiding beneath the claw of the dragon. However, for all the treasures he used along with the skill he was only meant to be using when he reached the Out-of-body Period described in True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record, he ended up failing at every turn and the chance of winning looked very slim.

At that point, the flood dragon had already recovered a bit. He shattered Luo’s blue umbrella into pieces and looked at the mortally wounded Human Cultivator who was in the same spot as it had been minutes ago with a sneer, “I will kill you and take that pill out of the interspatial ring. You can go join Qing Jun in hell!”

As soon as it finished those words, the flood dragon swung its gigantic tail, sending a wave of storming wind which charged at Luo like a sharp knife.

The dragon laughed as it watched what was happening in front of him. However, the man he despised the most suddenly took out a golden bead. The minute the flood dragon noticed that bead, it stopped laughing and started running away. Years of cultivation had reinforced his ability for smelling danger. But it was too late, Luo had already tossed that bead away.

The bead seemed ordinary and there was nothing extraordinary about it.

But as the bead came closer, the dragon’s got fear written all over its face. It ran away with its utmost speed, it could not stop the bead from crashing into its belly, and then…

Boommmm!

For a moment, the whole world was crumbling.

The dazzling golden light was all that was visible in the world and as the golden bead exploded, the energy it emitted formed a plain-looking golden lotus in the sky and immediately it came crashing down on the flood dragon, piercing it in the process and slowly vanished into thin air.

Time seemed to have stopped at that moment and people in the valley all saw this beam of golden light.

The elders sent by various sects to inspect all came out to see this golden light with horrified look on their faces.

And the monsters even above level seven were all in shock and they kept fleeing in disorder.

One wondered what horrible strength the golden light carried as its mere appearance was enough to strike everyone dumb.

That was 70% of the power of the only Immortal-Stage cultivator in the world, Xuan Lingzi.

Such was the power of a supreme like him, and it was enough to kill a level nine monster!

It felt like ages for such a short time, and when the golden light faded, Luo was already trembling with his mortally wounded body and he mustered what little strength he had left and fled the scene as quick as possible.

He didn’t want people to know that he was there. Most importantly, he feared that this attack wouldn’t be enough to kill that flood dragon!

Within a blink of an eye, Luo had been miles away. After 45 minutes, he heard an agonizing roar from behind. The deafening sound was coming from the infuriated flood dragon, “Human! You’ve ruined my chance at becoming the Demon Exalt and I am damned to remain forever at level eight! I must kill you! You are a dead man!!!”

The flood dragon unleashed its ultimate revival skill which brought it back to life.

Like that phoenix, the flood dragon was a distant relative of the orthodox dragon family. But unlike the legitimate members, it was born with level six and had a chance at returning to the dragon family. However, once it used its revival skill, it forever renounced its claim to become a true dragon.

That said, a level eight dragon was like an out-of-body human cultivator. Thought severely wounded, it could still easily kill that equally wounded Luo with one finger.

The enraged flood dragon was in no mood to ponder what background Luo had to be able to possess that kind of treasure. It had only one thought in mind, and that was to kill Luo.

The flood dragon was way faster than Luo and in a few seconds it managed to catch up with Luo. It unleashed one strike and Luo was immediately sent crashing into a mountain wall with blood puking out of his mouth.

At that moment, the eyes of Luo had been covered with blood. He slowly raised his head, only to see that the monster was bearing down on him with heavy steps. Its furious look made Luo nervous yet there was no second golden bead available that could save him.

Luo’s breath seemed slowed and the whizzing wind seemed to have stopped as well.

Looking at the world through his blood-stained eyes, Luo could hear his own heart beating like crazy. It had never occurred to him that his heart could beat so fast at a moment such as this. Now that he thought about it, he had experienced the same ponding heart beats when he was lying in his own pool of blood after being beaten by Xuan Lingzi.

Back then, he had wondered what Xuan’s face would look like if he had died in front of him. But now, there were only bitterness and hatred in his heart and he didn’t want to die any more. He wanted to live and force that man to reveal his true feelings to himself. He wanted to have him and…bring this pill back to him！

With that thought in mind, he suddenly felt a gush of mild power and he started performing the Nine Heavenly Seizure Record.

Luo raised his finger with great difficulty and a small wave of sword energy started concentrating on the tip of his finger. Wave upon wave of power started to wrap this energy up like numerous silk worm cocoons. Then, this wave of energy was projected towards the flood dragon, only to be swept aside by its tail.

Luo coughed out a mouthful of blood and let out a bitter smile, patiently waiting for his imminent death.

He was no Li Xiuchen who was born with luck, and that was why when he got the pill, he ran into the thunder and the dragon.

Luo closed his eyes, and that person’s silhouette was the first thing that emerged in his mind. From their first encounter to the decades-long companionship that followed, the relationship between the two had changed. Now, Luo couldn’t take his eyes off that person for even one second and he missed that person’s warm hug. He wanted that person to think nothing but him.

All those things he wanted sounded like fantasy words right now. But at least he got to tell that person how he felt about him and he knew that he really liked him. That should be enough for him…

“Die, human!”

Ferocious energy charged towards Luo, and at the moment, Luo suddenly heard some tinkling sounds. Those sounds had always been around and it was not until this critical moment that he only managed to hear them.

Suddenly, Luo heard someone yelling, “Luo Jianqing, don’t die on me!”

Luo immediately opened his eyes and saw a scarlet figure came swooping in from above. His eyes contracted and exclaimed, “Mo Qiu!”
