“Dragony!” A heart wrenching cry echoes across the sky and causes all to look her way. The voice was filled with emotions, but more were that of pain and distress.
Dragony felt a tensing ache as well after hearing the familiar note, Why now? Why did it have to be at such a time? Even if I die, I didn’t want her to see me in such a sorry state….
……
The newly arrived figure didn’t take any time to lung down to the ground and sweep the dying girl off the ground. There’s sadness and anger in those eyes, which swiftly manifested into a powerful burst of energy flowing out from the body and onto the ground.
Bai Xiachen was also here, but instead of his usual mischievous self, he merely stood behind his mother with eyes staring intently at the withered girl’s face. There’s no life, just like a tree that’s about to fall and die.
Dragony shouldn’t be like this. She is always active and happy. How did things turn out like this?
“Did you kill my daughter?” Bai Yan’s cold hard gaze swept across the line of scums until it landed on the single elder responsible for this all. Immediately, the clouds boomed and a series of thundering rocked the sky.
In light of the strong entrance, Senior Yue didn’t back down in the least. He’s the disciple of the head alchemist within the Celestial Palace, a person with incredible backing and a representative of his shifu. Regardless of the foe, he must keep face.
“What does it have to do with me when it’s your daughter who’s seeking death?” The old timer grits his teeth with burning anger in the voice, “But seeing how you’re indiscriminately blaming others without proper evidence then it’s no wonder she’s so selfish! That brat would rather destroy her own beast core than to save my only granddaughter! Such a selfish person doesn’t deserve to live in this world!”
As if provoked by that statement, Bai Yan suddenly started to laugh wildly, causing a ringing effect across this mountain.
“You’re trying to take my daughter’s core, that’s equivalent to taking her life! I do not understand what it means to be selfless for others, but I do know that if someone shows me respect then I will do the same. As for those who doesn’t, I, Bai Yan will always return that favor a hundred-fold!” Growing colder in her voice as the anger grew in kind: “Since you forced my daughter to die then I will let you all pay back this blood debt with your own blood! Don’t think about running away, none of you will live!”
Swish!
In that very instant, a gush of flame rose from the ground and began to devour everything within her vicinity, leaving only a small circle free of destruction.
“AHHHHH!!!!!”
Of the ones that managed to survive Dragony’s initial burst of ice blast, many were very vigilant to begin with due to what occurred to some of them, but this time it’s beyond their means to dodge or avoid. Next thing that happened were a series of ear-piercing cries of pain and pleas for mercy.
“Save me Senior Yue! Please save me, I don’t want to die!”
Of the closest to the elder, the poor man that’s been devoured in flame reached out with a hand for aid. Unfortunately, before those fingers could even make contact or do anything else, the flesh had already incinerated into nothingness, leaving only a pile of ash in its wake.
“Do you think you’re all that by murdering these innocent people? Your daughter isn’t even killed by them, what right do you have in taking their life?”
Bai Yan ignored the questioning, only raising her hand to materialize a sword into existence.
