Born to Disappear

Chapter 23

"Go! This earth python has an extreme high cultivation!" Hualing said quickly.

The sword in Yuan Qing's hand again buzzed uncomfortably, full of grievances as this master of his continued to pour demonic energy.

Yuan Qing no longer held back, a pair of horns condensed from the demon fog, "there was no time!" he said while resisting the attack of the earth python's large tail.

"There was no other choice," Hualing moved with a sword in hand. Sweeping along the body of an earth python covered in steel-hard scales. Sparks of purple flames and lightning flickered from the collision. Flashing in this dark hallway.

"Cultivate this thing at least one or two levels higher than the leader of the blood bat!" Hualing said to Yuan Qing who wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

"Trying to cut scales with a sword is equivalent to cutting steel with wood. It won't have an impact." Yuan Qing replied then re-launched the attack. Yuan Qing and Hualing moved agilely, dodging the attacks of the huge horn and fangs of the earth python sword.

Yuan Qing waved the sword at the white scaly chin, sparks created from the impact. The elongated scratches were created from Yuan Qing's sword marks. It was not deep, but it was enough for Yuan Qing to realize the weakness of the earth piton.

"A attack on the chin!" Yuan Qing.

As if understanding the meaning of Yuan Qing's exclamation, the earth python attacked more actively while closing the vulnerable section.

With his huge body he moved quickly, a sturdy horn pointed directly at Hualing who was launching an attack. With full power and a sword infused with spiritual energy, he dispelled the earth python. Throwing him to the side, a loud clash sounded and the cave shook.

Hualing moved backwards, side by side with Yuan Qing who was also moving backwards. Two people looked at the ceiling of the cave which dropped small rocks. Without a word they nodded at each other then restarted the attack.

Earth pythons struck directly several times just to crash into the cave wall. The rumbling sounds sounded louder and louder, the smaller stones falling down more and more. The longer the rock falls.

Hualing leaped high using the python's back as a pedestal as Yuan Qing used himself as bait to distract. With a powerful attack full of lightning elements, he aimed at the ceiling and walls of the cave that had had cracks.

For this time he was slightly dissatisfied with the purple lightning ability that could only be summoned in open space.

The purple lightning in his sword again crackled, forming a spider web in the air then throwing on the cracks in the cave.

"Go now!" Hualing exclaimed then jumped down.

Yuan Qing who received Hualing's direction immediately launched a powerful attack, sword slashes in addition to demonic energy clashing with the earth python's stubborn head. It made the demonic beast push back.

Following Hualing, Yuan Qing retreated quickly. Rocks fell from the walls and ceiling of the cave. The earth python that had just received the attack had yet to recover, not having time to dodge. Huge stones were falling down on his loud noisy body.

Without wasting any time, Hualing and Yuan Qing immediately ran over. Move as far away from the earth pythons as possible and the expanding collapsed caves. Moving agilely away from falling rocks.

On the run, Hualing looked back at the piton-yellow eyes staring fiercely between the rock crevices.

Unlike the Hualing and Yuan Qing who had to face the earth python, Liu Xing Sheng's journey could be said to be very smooth. With the cultivation base one step toward the golden core, dark space was no longer a problem for him.

On walking down the dark passageway, his hands touched the rough walls of the cave. "Damn!" he cussed in annoyance as his hand involuntarily pressed against the panel on the stone wall.

The stone floor under his feet was separated, once again he had to fall down.

...****************...

"Is Ling er hurt?" Hearing Yuan Qing's question, especially with that intimate tone. Hualing's face couldn't help but blush.

"You should have called me sister Hualing." Hualing cleared his throat then corrected the way he called out, "all is fine, no injuries." he continued, answering Yuan Qing's question.

"Then, what about ah Qing?" Hualing hesitantly asked.

"If I can't protect myself, how can I protect Ling er?" under no circumstances could Yuan Qing miss to tease Hualing.

'If I can't take care of myself, how can I keep you. You calm down, I won't let anyone take you!'

That deep voice echoed within his brain just like that. It sounded like Yuan Qing's voice, only deeper.

"Why is Ling er silent?" A gentle swipe swept over the side of his cheek. Hualing looked at Yuan Qing who was standing so close, the man's hand felt warm. Yuan Qing's face overlapped with the face of the war god Xue Yuan Qing in his memories.

This time he realized, no matter what his master. He'll still care about her, "it's good if you're okay."

"Let's go, those rocks won't be able to hold the earth python for too long!" With a big smile, Hauling walked back. The steps are light, it is clear that the owner of the step is in a good mood.

As if it was infectious, Yuan Qing could not help his lips to curl. Forms a rare sincere smile.

They walk side by side with silence, but not suffocating silence. More like a calming silence. Yuan Qing looked at Hualing who was one head shorter than him, for some reason his instincts said there was an incredible connection between them. However, however Yuan Qing thought, he was unable to find Hualing among the people he had met in his past life.

Hualing:"Ah Qing, which path should we choose?"

Yuan Qing stopped his brain from digging up memories as Hualing's voice sounded. He looked around, in front of him was a passageway with two branches with each street identical. Spreading his gaze, he saw a carving of a peach tree that was almost completely covered in moss on the side of the cave. Cloud painting and a palace are on the other side of the wall.

"Take the left side" he answered with confidence. A stroke of luck, those who run indeterminate directions will find this familiar path.

"Good!" Hualing answered briefly then took the left aisle, completely without hesitation.

Yuan Qing shook his head looking at that, "Don't Ling er doubt me in the least? Aren't you afraid I'm harming you?" Walking up to Hualing, Yuan Qing asked curiously.

"No, ah Qing wouldn't do that! Dead end?" Hualing answered with certainty while the last sentence was spoken with question marks.

Yuan Qing stepped to the other side. His eyes watched the rough stone walls, pressing down on the very ordinary parts and rumbling sounds rang out. The stone wall on the other hand began to open with dust strewn about, revealing a small crack that slowly widened the scattered dust. Only after the dust settled down did a passageway with night pearl pearls embedded in the walls now unfold.

"Not a dead end," Yuan Qing answered Hualing's question earlier very late then walked away.

Hualing's lips pursed while his feet stepped following Yuan Qing. Looking around with great curiosity.

A semicircular hall awaits at the end of the hallway. Night pearls are large in some places. High bookshelves up to the ceiling filled half the room.

Yuan Qing walked towards the middle shelf, standing in front of the dozens of shabby-looking wooden manuals between the neatly arranged piles of jade and gold scrolls. Hualing took a step, standing beside Yuan Qing. Looking at Yuan Qing who was standing fixated staring at the wooden manual, seeing how Yuan Qing picked up one of the wooden manuals. Opening it with nostalgia.

"This is the cultivation of the heavenly demon body that I once had." Yuan Qing said without Hualing having to ask.

"What are you gonna do? Didn't you develop it now?" Hualing asked curiously.

"I will keep it for a while" Yuan Qing said as he inserted the demon cultivation manual into his storage ring.

"This place is awesome! I don't know how long it will take His Eternal Majesty Shui Xing to gather all these manuals?" Hualing said with admiration. Looking at the tall shelves full of cultivation manuals at all levels. Then move on, looking for cultivation manuals that might be more suitable for him.

"It should be thousands or tens of thousands of years," Yuan Qing replied with eyes obscuring the row of cultivation manuals.

This was the second time he had visited this place, one in his previous life and one in this life. However, even though it was like that, he was still unable to stop himself from sighing in admiration.

His hands moved, passing the neatly lined scrolls of cultivation manuals. In his past life he had seen a small part of this before obtaining the heavenly demon cultivation manual.

Hualing:"Ah Qing! In your previous life, have you ever entered this room?"
