Killing God - Chapter 338

Chapter 338 Cold Intent
The night was dark. The place below the hillside was covered in darkness. A dozen trees formed a small forest under the gentle grass slope. The strange sobbing sound that was like sobbing and filled with pain and despair came from somewhere at the edge of the forest.

He Xiaomei carefully walked down the hillside. On this Golden Rainbow Mountain, the Lingxiao Sect Gate, Of course, it was impossible for any demon spirits to appear in the land of the Supreme Immortal Realm. Although He Xiaomei was a little nervous, she wasn’t too afraid. Moreover, as she gradually approached, the voice grew louder and louder, making her feel more familiar with it. However, she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before in such a hurry.

Gradually, he walked down this gentle and soft hillside. He Xiaomei arrived at the edge of the forest. In the darkness, He Xiaomei saw a figure curled up under a tree outside the forest. He clasped his head tightly together and buried it in his legs. He couldn’t see his appearance clearly, but the strange sound was indeed made by this figure.

He Xiaomei took a look at that person with a little light and soon discovered that he was wearing the uniform of a direct disciple of the Ling Xiao Sect. From the looks of it, he should also be a young man. He just didn’t know what kind of stimulation he had received to turn him into such a figure.

“Hello?”

He Xiaomei stopped and shouted as she walked a few feet away from the man.

The man’s body suddenly shook, as if he was startled by He Xiaomei. However, for some reason, he did not raise his head to look. Instead, his body curled up tighter. At the same time, some intermittent trembling words came from his side,

“No, don’t come over … mother! Mother … don’t come over … I … ah … “Her voice was intermittent, he said vaguely, He Xiaomei listened carefully and understood a few words. He didn’t understand what that person was talking about, But from the man’s trembling body and voice, He Xiaomei noticed that this person seemed to be very scared and frightened. Looking at the man’s appearance, He Xiaomei was suddenly stunned. In his mind, there was a person whose appearance seemed to overlap with that of the man in front of him. But for a moment, she couldn’t believe it. That was because the man she usually knew was clearly a young man who had always been confident, proud, and talkative. With his family background, even amongst the countless young geniuses in Lingxiao Sect, he could be considered a proud son of heaven. How could he have turned out like this?

However, He Xiaomei looked around. The more she looked, the more suspicious she became. The more familiar she looked, the more familiar she looked. Finally, she could not help but take a few steps forward and shouted boldly,

“Sun Heng?”

The curled-up man’s body trembled abruptly. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at He Xiaomei in a daze.

He Xiaomei was stunned by the pale face with tear stains in the shadows, but its outline was familiar. This person was actually Sun Heng, the eldest young master of the Sun Clan.

It had been more than eight years since He Xiaomei’s group of rookies had joined the High Firmament Sect and entered Blue Fish Island to cultivate. There was also an obvious difference in the advancement of those young men and women in the path of cultivation, including the path of their lives. In fact, as time passed, there was a secret consensus in the Ling Xiao Sect that He Xiaomei’s group of rookies was actually a group of rare geniuses that had gathered in many years. There were several that were regarded as geniuses, and there were many talents that could be cultivated afterwards.

In these past few years, the few youngsters who were the closest to the limelight of the Ling Xiao Sect were basically from this group of disciples. Needless to say, Gan Ze, Zhong Qingzhu, Zhong Qinglu, and the others were all from this group. Sun Heng was also one of them with a very famous reputation.

Extraordinary talent, With his elegant appearance and outstanding family background, Sun Heng was undoubtedly one of the most favored disciples in this group of geniuses. He Xiaomei had also cultivated with him on Bluefish Island in the past. Although she wasn’t particularly familiar with it, she was still familiar with such a large island, so she would always meet up with each other once in a while.

However, this scene left He Xiaomei dumbfounded. She didn’t know what to do for a moment. Before today, she didn’t expect that the Sun Clan’s eldest young master, who was always in the limelight, would actually become like this. In the end, she could only ask dryly,

“You, what’s wrong with you?”

Sun Heng’s gaze seemed to be even more blank than He Xiaomei’s. He looked at her blankly, but did not say anything. He Xiaomei frowned, but since she saw that it was Sun Heng, she became more courageous. Seeing that he was indeed the only one around, she walked over and continued to ask,

“Senior Brother Sun, is there something difficult about you? Why did you become like this?” As she spoke, she had already walked to Sun Heng’s side. Normally, she was a cheerful and straightforward person. Seeing that Sun Heng was pitiful again, she subconsciously reached out to help him.

Unexpectedly, when her hand touched Sun Heng’s body, Sun Heng suddenly trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant. “Ah!” A loud shout filled with endless horror, and he suddenly jumped up. His eyes widened as he stared at He Xiaomei and shouted in horror,

“Mother, mother, did you, did you come back to find me?”

As he shouted, Sun Heng’s facial muscles twisted. He Xiaomei looked at him with a look of fear. For some reason, she felt a chill surge from behind her. Just as she was puzzled, Sun Heng suddenly seemed to have heard an inexplicable voice. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the darkness in the depths of the forest. His entire body trembled as he grabbed He Xiaomei’s arm and leaned over.

He Xiaomei was shocked, The first reaction was that Sun Heng wanted to take advantage of him, She took a step back and was about to shake her hand. However, Sun Heng’s grip was extremely tight. She swung her hand and did not shake it off. She wanted to slap Sun Heng in the face. However, at the same time, she suddenly felt that Sun Heng’s hands were incomparably cold. His mournful and terrified voice rang out in her ears, “Mother, mother, spiders, save me! There are spiders!”

He Xiaomei was stunned. The slap in her hand was somewhat unable to get out. She took a closer look at Sun Heng and found that the man seemed to be in a strange mood. It was not fake. She was stunned for a moment and whispered to herself, “This … Could it be that he was stunned by the devil?”

Looking at Sun Heng’s appearance, He Xiaomei hesitated for a moment. After struggling in her heart for a moment, she sighed softly and lowered her voice, saying softly, “Senior Brother Sun Heng, wake up. I am He Xiaomei.”

Sun Heng grabbed her hand tightly and kept it close to her. He didn’t say a word, and his body was still trembling. After a while, he finally spat out a little sound, but what he tossed and turned was just a simple word:

“Mother … Mother …”

He Xiaomei’s heart softened. Perhaps she was originally kind-hearted. Seeing Sun Heng’s pitiful appearance, she couldn’t bear it anymore. She sighed and slowly reached over. She gently patted Sun Heng’s back a few times, and then said softly,

“Alright, alright, alright.”

Perhaps her gentle voice worked, or Sun Heng was tired after so long. In her comforting words, the fear on Sun Heng’s face gradually subsided and his expression calmed down. However, both of his hands were still tightly clutching He Xiaomei’s palm, and he was unwilling to let go for a moment.

He Xiaomei was unable to. After thinking for a while, she said softly to him, “How about this, it’s already late. I see that you’re tired, so I’ll send you back.”

Sun Heng stared blankly at her like a lost and painful child. A moment later, he nodded with a bit of confusion.

He Xiaomei smiled and pulled Sun Heng up the hillside. Perhaps it was the warmth in her palm that was so obviously gentle in the cold night breeze that Sun Heng couldn’t help but follow.

The two of them slowly walked along the hillside and gradually disappeared into the night. The sea breeze blew by, and the grass swayed. The entire hillside was peaceful and quiet, as if nothing had ever happened here.

Under the same night sky, in the same cold night breeze, the secluded mansion in Floating Cloud City was another scene.

Zhong Qingzhu and Ling Chunni, who had never known each other before today, had already stayed in this small room for several hours. The Beast Alliance cultivators outside the room had already attacked this place several times. However, Zhong Qingzhu did not know what kind of formation was laid down. It was mysterious and profound. The strength of the defense was astonishing. He had actually used the help of the formation to block the attacks of the dozens of people outside.

In the middle, Because Ling Chunni’s cultivation realm was too low, the only cultivation technique she had cultivated was half a Dream Buddha Diagram, which was useless and had little combat strength. Therefore, she had been quiet and nervous for the past few hours. She watched Zhong Qingzhu continuously use the formation to defend against the attacks of many cultivators from the Beast Alliance.

Looking at it for a long time, Ling Chunni felt some admiration for Zhong Lingxiao Sect, who had never seen her before but who claimed to be a disciple of Qingzhu. At the same time, she also felt some envy. In her heart, how could she not have dreamed that she would be able to cultivate the Grand Dao, obtain a supreme divine ability, and then be free from humiliation?

He only admired her. At this moment, the room was already completely dark. However, the faint light emitted by the bead in Zhong Qingzhu’s hand illuminated a few places nearby. With this light, Ling Chunnie saw Zhong Qingzhu’s current appearance, but her heart gradually became a little worried and anxious.

In Ling Chunni’s opinion, Zhong Qingzhu’s situation was not only not good, it could even be said to be very bad. During the day, a lot of blood had been lost from the serious injury. Half of her body had been dyed red. The blood on the wound had naturally stopped. However, under the dim light, Zhong Qingzhu’s face was frighteningly pale. She could even vaguely see that she was unable to control her body. She was shaking her body, as if she could fall off the beam in the next moment.

Under such severe injuries, Zhong Qingzhu had barely managed to withstand so many enemies for so long. At this moment, Zhong Qingzhu’s strength was enough to shock many people. However, Ling Chunni did not expect this, because she soon saw Zhong Qingzhu’s body suddenly shake, as if she could no longer hold on any longer.

She suddenly leaned over and moved over the beam, hugging Zhong Qingzhu’s body from the side. Zhong Qingzhu’s body trembled slightly, almost as if she was about to subconsciously react as she struggled to shake it off. However, Ling Chunni’s low voice suddenly came from her ear and said,

“Miss Zhong, I don’t know you, so I don’t know why you came to find me. But in this situation, you should at least let me help you. Otherwise, if you really can’t hold on, our fate will be the same.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s body paused for a moment. Her delicate face disappeared in the shadows of darkness. She could not see the expression on her pale face clearly. However, in the end, she calmed down. She did not continue to move, but she did not say anything.

Ling Chunni heaved a sigh of relief.

Thus, the two women sat side by side on the narrow beam in the darkness. Ling Chunni gently hugged Zhong Qingzhu’s body, allowing her body to lean back slightly to support her.

Cold hands, cold skin, cold body.

At that moment, an inadvertent thought flashed through their hearts. Why was her body so cold?

As the night breeze blew by, they felt a chill run down their spines, and the cold killing intent outside the room seemed to be returning.

The night was desolate and cold, and they quietly and subconsciously drew closer in the darkness.
