Chapter 1275 “Di Cang’s Arrival (1)”
By this point the enemies are done listening to their conversation and began to attack. Due to this, Bai Yan had no choice but to let the fox in her hand down so she could fight. She’s ready to make the final stand with her Godslayer at this stage of the battle.
“Xiachen, you wait here for me.” Giving one last hug to her boy, she firmly holds onto her blade for the impending showdown.
The closest enemy to the woman surely knew what she intended to do next, but even then, it wasn’t enough to protect themselves from the incredible burst of force coming out of the sword once Bai Yan activated its power with her own. It blew the first line of attackers right off their feet.
Knowing this was her chance, Bai Yan quickly uses this opening to swallow one of her replenishment pills to regain some strength. Unfortunately, perhaps it’s because of how often she ate this pill already during the fighting, but the speed in which she healed had clearly reduced significantly compared to earlier.
In fact, the only reason she’s even able to stand upright was thanks to the sword in her hand, otherwise she would’ve collapsed back to the ground, that’s how exhausted she truly was inside.
“You all move aside!”
The High Divine elder finally lost his patience and snapped out to his subordinates. Immediately, the circling line splits apart and created an opening for the person to come forward.
“Girl, I admit your perseverance is worthy of admiration. However…” Sarcastically sneering, “You are but a small grain among the many, while our Miss here is the shining moon in the night sky, you can never compete with her. Only doom and misery await people like you!”
Boom!
In an instant, the wind surges all around the area, created by the massive strength coming out of the grey robed elder when he raised his hand to strike.
This old man clearly didn’t use his all when attacking Bai Yan the first time around, but now he’s no longer fooling around and mustered everything into his strike. If it lands, a sure kill would be the only ending.
But not all hope was lost….
Right as Bai Yan’s finding it difficult just to breath under that oppressive might, Bai Xiachen suddenly threw himself in front of that oncoming attack. This should’ve been the worst outcome possible, having a kid die in front of his own mother. Yet this doesn’t seem to be the case. The kid’s entire body was shrouded in a freaky flame of red that oozed a sense of danger and carnage. It’s as if his soul has been consumed by the nine levels of hell and reborn as a devil!
Mother, if one day I can no longer stay by your side…. Will you miss me?
Those words once again rang across her mind. She wanted to cry out for him to stop, but the voice in her throat just wouldn’t come out like someone had ripped it out of her body. So, the only thing this poor woman knew how to do was to try to reach out with her hands, yet….
Right before Bai Yan’s fingers could make contact, that once adorable little steambun had turned around again with his head to meet hers. Unlike before though, there’s no longer that kind and warm gaze she’s come to expect, only cold hard indifference in those red irises that seemingly felt devoid of humanity.
Cusping her mouth with both hands, she now understood what has happened…..
