The Immortal Fire

Chapter 25: What is the Purpose of Life

Liu Ying felt riled up that night, he could not rest his eyes for a second. He finally got up from the bare wooden bed and slipped out.

It was as if the night wind was bringing a very deep longing to Liu Ying's heart, making him continue to step around the desolate city.

People who pass by start to decrease as the night gets late. Even so, Liu Ying still felt silent and hollow.

Liu Ying climbed one of the roofs of the building there and sat on the top of the roof. The girl took out a packet of beans stuck on her waist.

He began to replay all the things he missed, unable to get used to the silence that made it difficult for him to breathe.

There was no noise of Jia Li and Fang Yao while fighting, no deathly cries from old man Xi Guan, no hot squirrels brought by Zhou Li from outside the sect, either, there was no longer a sword class and a fight with Gu Xiulei.

That night Liu Ying passed by lonely and nostalgic, throwing pea peels in any direction and occasionally closing his eyes.

Liu Ying thought about what his true purpose was? Why did he run away from the Sect and leave everything just to run off in an uncertain direction.

The sense of regret also pervades and makes it distorted by his own thinking, why?

Why was he so brave to step foot into a world he didn't even recognize at all?

Is this the best way that there is no other way to deal with it?

Even Liu Ying himself did not know where the footsteps carried him, assuming that the accumulation of time slowed down so that he could feel that warmth for longer.

What is life and how to achieve the purpose of life, is a simple thing that cannot be understood in the slightest by reason.

Is being a famous talented swordsman, or ruling the entire world like most people's ambitions?

I don't know, Liu Ying currently only needs warmth and a place to lean until he is completely ready to face his real life.

The silhouette of the night wind was extremely tearful, Liu Ying had no tears to make the situation as dramatic as possible.

Clearly, he had to figure out what this life really meant.

Over time, Liu Ying began to feel the air getting colder. He decided to go back and rest immediately to increase the energy of working tomorrow.

However, before he could get off the roof of the house, Liu Ying heard the sound of fighting inside his radar. It seemed like the fight was not far from Liu Ying's current location, it was clear that the voices of some people were clashing with swords.

Liu Ying immediately circulated his gaze and walked in search of the source of the noise, but the dark state made it difficult for him to find it.

Deftly the girl jumped one by one the roof of the housing that was there in order to see clearly.

In the dimness of the night, Liu Ying could see a group of people were fighting against each other. The group of people dressed in blood red attacked the group of people dressed in white.

Liu Ying could see that the red-clothed people were about to snatch an object from the people in white, it seemed that the white-clothed group was desperately defending the thing that was on them.

The red group seemed to have a higher skill than its opponent. How not, within ten minutes alone, about four people in white clothes had fallen to the ground and lost their lives.

Seeing that, Liu Ying was unable to hold back his hand to pull the sword from its sheath. Liu Ying immediately rushed forward into the middle of those two human strongholds.

His net circulated and caught some figures who were now staring at him in shock, but the people in red had quite a strong defense.

They did not wait any longer but instead directly attacked Liu Ying without asking where he was siding, just as the six sword eyes directly aimed at Liu Ying.

Due to his quick response, Liu Ying was still able to dodge the group's attacks despite being extremely thin. Appreciative, their compactness is truly admirable.

Liu Ying made a piercing motion on the abdomen of one of them, but that person tilted his body to the right making Liu Ying's attack miss.

That person tried to curl Liu Ying, but instead ended up with his hand turned in the opposite direction.

Liu Ying tried to narrow their distance to make it easier for him to guess the attack. Gaining an idea, Liu Ying thrust the sandy soil beneath him towards the opponent, their focus chaotic instantly.

Liu Ying did not want to waste any time, just as he was holding his sword under control, slashing it in a sequential pattern like the one Zhou Li had taught him.

Two people from their formation instantly fell smelling the ground with fairly severe injuries. The people in white clothes stared in amazement at Liu Ying's performance.

Looks like one of the people who seemed to be the leader of the group growled furiously, he did not accept his group was defeated just like that.

When the man looked suspicious, he hid his left hand behind his body. After a while, he directly broke through to attack Liu Ying himself, thus making the formation they had just assembled again split apart.

As before, Liu Ying was always on standby. Liu Ying smiled proudly as he saw the group's movements no longer in rhythm.

But all that did not last long, the leader of the group waved his left hand towards Liu Ying. That instant the sizable Yang-like energy stung Liu Ying's chest.

That person continued to press his hand there and channel even greater energy.

Originally Liu Ying felt like he had been hit by a huge rock making him groan in pain. But over time, the energy was instead absorbed into and spread throughout his body.

The opponent who had felt victorious was even surprised to be made.

"How can!?" the man pulled his hands rough and retreated backwards.

Judging from her voice, it seemed like that person was a teenage girl. It was just that his face was invisible as it was covered by a black cloth.

Liu Ying looked at both of his hands as he felt that his body was full of energy, but that power gradually disappeared in the not too distant future.

"What tricks are you using?!" yelled the man angry.

He could not believe that the great energy he gathered had no effect and had simply vanished. Although his opponent was formidable, it should have been that much heat energy condensing, instead of being absorbed into the opponent's body.

All along those who could absorb a large amount of Yang energy were only people who had a fire-type soul spirit, and such people were only descendants of the Phoenix tribe who possessed it.

Even if one had a fire elemental mainstay, it was completely unrelated to his spirit.

Generally the descendants of the Phoenix tribe only possessed Yang energy completely, so any fire attack would only be sucked into its meridians. While normal people have balanced levels of Yin and Yang energy, because when excessive, it affects the health of the body of the owner.

Then, if a normal person could absorb that much Yang energy would surely die because his meridians would burn and be unable to contain his energy.
