The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 53: Courage!

Bai Xiaochun's face was pale and his heart was pounding. The sensation of danger made him so worried that he felt like he would die at any moment, making him tremble uncontrollably.

He had never been this scared before in his entire life. Not when he left his village to light incense and brave the lightning, not when Li Qinghou took him to the 10,000 Snake Valley, even when he had seen all the fantastic and powerful creatures while traveling.

In all those situations, she was nervous, but she was also sure that ... she would not die!

But today, she had a different sensation ... that she was really going to die !!

As he flew, he suddenly realized that he was alone. Then he looked back in shock seeing that the seven members of the Luochen Clan had surrounded Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei, several hundred meters behind.

He also saw that Du Lingfei was coughing up blood. Anyone in this situation would be able to say that he and Hou Yunfei would not be able to last long before they were cut down.

Vibrations streamed down on Bai Xiaochun as he stood there watching. He began to tremble even harder, and his eyes were completely full of blood. He could feel his soul yelling at him to escape as quickly as possible.

In fact, Bai Xiaochun was quite certain that, given the speed he could maintain, and given that Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei prevented the enemy from catching up, there was actually a good chance.

If he did, he could continue living, he could continue practicing cultivation, and he could pursue what he really wanted: an immortal life without death. Not only would the sect not punish him if he survived, they would even reward him.

However ... If he were to escape, leaving Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei to their deaths, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. He felt as if his entire body was split in two, with one and a half telling him to escape at high speed, otherwise he would die. The other half told him that if he left his fellow sect members to die, that he would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life!

Gasping, he screamed in frustration. Blue veins protruded on his forehead, and he trembled as hard as a falling dice. Currently, he did not think much about the peculiarities of the situation, or the potential consequences. His hands clenched as one thought flowed in his head …

"I may be afraid of death, but .. I won't just run away!" He suddenly started beating his chest with his fists. His eyes were completely reddened, and he let out a roar as he suddenly ..turned around and shot back towards Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei!

He moved so fast that a whistling sound echoed in all directions. Hou Yunfei trembled as he saw Bai Xiaochun's sudden reversal, and his expression was hard to read. He looked astonished, grateful, and suddenly, he started laughing. Then, determination glittered in his eyes, and without even thinking about defense, he charged towards the members of the Luochen Clan with everything he had.

Simultaneously, Du Lingfei, whose body was covered in blood from where the flying sword slashed at him, looked up to see Bai Xiaochun, his eyes red, roaring as he moved towards them.

He felt like he was struck by lightning, and his jaw dropped. Tears began to flow down her cheeks as many emotions flooded over her. He was touched, excited, and shaken.

He knew how much Bai Xiaochun was afraid of death, so when he saw him flying towards them, physically trembling, his eyes were red, he could only imagine how brave he summoned … to stop running away, turn around, and then come back for them.

"Get out of here, you idiot! Run on! Don't get you killed !! " Tears are flowing down his face. As Bai Xiaochun ran towards them while shouting at the top of his lungs, he did not realize that one of the Luochen Clan disciples at the sixth level of Qi Condensation was releasing a palm strike at his back.

Explosions rang out, and blood spurted out from his mouth. His vision swam as he fell to the ground. Then, one of the flying sword cultivators of the Luochen Clan began to accelerate rapidly in the air towards his head.

When Bai Xiaochun saw what was happening, he let out a louder roar, and pushed forward with another burst of speed, reaching his limit. He darted through the air, turning into a beam of light that shot towards Du Lingfei. Even when the flying sword struck him, Bai Xiaochun landed on his side, raised it with one hand, then clenched his right hand into a fist and punched towards the flying sword.

Explosions echoed as the flying sword was sent spinning by the force of Bai Xiaochun's punch.

The members of the Luochen Clan were all extremely shocked. Chen Yue's eyes flickered in surprise, but then quickly began to emit a cold killing intent.

"good. An expert in disguise. I should have noticed you back when you were in the Shadowhell Formation! Listen to everyone, ignore the other two and kill this guy! ” As soon as those words came out of his mouth, murderous gazes appeared in the eyes of the other members of the Luochen Clan, and they began to approach Bai Xiaochun.

Du Lingfei was a little dazed as Bai Xiaochun hugged him. Before he could do anything, he lowered it to the side and then shot towards the incoming Luochen Clan cultivators.

His eyes were bright red, and almost like this moment, he did not think of dying at all. In fact, he thought of nothing but: Save Hou Yunfei. Save Du Lingfei. Kill all the enemies!

The closest of those opponents was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and as he approached, his hand flickered in a spell move. In response, a glowing piercer suddenly appeared, which shot viciously towards Bai Xiaochun.

The cultivator who called out to the piercer gasped, and a look of shock flashed across his face. Just as he was about to retreat back, Bai Xiaochun did a spell move and showed. His wooden sword appeared and shot out like lightning. It did not matter that his opponent was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation; he was unable to avoid, and in fact, did not even have time to react before the sword pierced into his forehead.

A fierce scream echoed as the wooden sword stabbed at him, coming out from the other side with a burst of blood. Then, it spun in the air and headed towards the next enemy.

At the same time, one of the members of the Luochen Clan at the seventh level of Qi Condensation performed an incantation move, causing mist to roam around him, making him look like a gigantic fog giant. Even as he approached, Bai Xiaochun's hand suddenly lifted, and his thumb and index finger connected. The black light flickered, and the defense provided by the fog could do nothing to stop the black light.

Hold the Throat Crushing!

A cracking sound was heard as the fog disappeared. The cultivator's eyes widened when he saw an arm grabbing his neck. Then, his throat was completely shattered.

Everything happens at incredible speed. Just a few breaths of time had passed since Bai Xiaochun started his task, and already, two members of the Luochen Clan had been killed!

Hou Yunfei, who had already fallen back to stand by Du Lingfei's side, gasped, and his eyes widened in shock.

Du Lingfei was completely shocked. The Bai Xiaochun he saw just now was completely different from the one he remembered, causing him to gasp for breath. Was this really Bai Xiaochun who was so scared to death?

At this point, the rest of the shocked Luochen Clan members finally let go of their killing moves. This was their most powerful trump card, one being a flying sword, the other a pearl, and the last one, a small cauldron, all of which shot towards Bai Xiaochun.

To his surprise, the three of them joined forces to attack simultaneously!

Of the group three, two were at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and one was at the seventh. Their combined attacks were truly ferocious as they went out with everything they had to try to take down Bai Xiaochun when he could not dodge.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes glowed red as the three approached him. Even when their magical device killed him, he curled up his hands and feet until he looked like a ball. Previously, Du Lingfei had ridiculed the large black wok he was wearing, but now, it covered himself completely.

The small cauldron that had been released by a seventh level cultivator struck the black skillet, causing an explosion to echo out that could shake the heavens and earth. The cracks spread throughout the pan, but firmly held the cauldron.

Next is the pearl. A rumbling sound echoed as it smashed into the frying pan. The wok could not last much longer, and it exploded, turning into countless black fragments that scattered in all directions. Bai Xiaochun darted out of the ruins, flying towards a seventh level cultivator.

When the man saw Bai Xiaochun flying towards him, his face fell. He immediately fell back, but could not move fast enough.

None of the magical protective objects the man possessed could do anything to stop Bai Xiaochun, who hit him, causing the sound of fractured bones to break out. Instantly, Bai Xiaochun went in for another attack, butting him with his head.

BOOOM!

"No!!" yelled the man. Blood spurted out from his mouth, and a look of despair filled his eyes, but he could not break away from Bai Xiaochun.

From the side, the fellow clan members at the sixth level of Qi Condensation were almost terrified from their minds. Shaking, one of them sent a sword flying towards Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun completely ignored him as he once again lunged at the middle-aged man.

The flying sword smashed into Bai Xiaochun, and with a completely shocking movement, it did not stab him, but instead bounced and was sent spinning.

Bai Xiaochun roared, hitting the middle-aged man once more. Horrible screams buzzed as the man died.

To the other two clan members at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, Bai Xiaochun, with red eyes and disheveled hair, looked like a ferocious beast. Their scalps began to tingle as he slowly turned to look at them. Without the slightest hesitation, they turned around and fled.

In the distance, Chen Yue was completely shaken by what had just happened, and she could barely even believe what she had just witnessed.
