âPlease, I beg of you, let me get over thereâ¦.â By the end of it, Bai Ningâs voice had devolved into a pleading mess as she gradually crumbled to the ground. Sheâs desperately pushing against the blade with her hands to no avail.
Exactly then from out of the blue, a powerful gush of wind rolls over from the back, catching the ladyâs attention.
âGrandmother, is my mother here?â Bai Xiachenâs face was cold and hard, causing those who peer into his red eye to flinch from inherent fear.
Slowly nodding: âYes, she is.â
Needing no more confirmation aside from that, Bai Xiachenâs attention shifts towards the only obstacle in his way. Gradually, a thin layer of reddishly blood lit flame wraps around his fist. Despite the tiny spark of fire, the heat emitting off of it was incredibly intense that it felt like a burning meteorite to those nearby.
Boom!
Thankfully Godslayer had a better sense in the brain than those idiots out there in this world. Right before the punch could make contact, the sprite inside sensed the danger and instantly shrank back into its former size to reveal the much-wanted figure across the crack line.
Unfortunately, the situation wasnât what Bai Xiachen wanted to see though. Instead of standing there unharmed and well like heâs always envisioned the lady to be, that rosy red dress had just crashed down from the air and slammed into the ground like a ragged doll.
âYanâer!â
Bai Ningâs heart literally stopped beating from the horrifying image. She could no longer control her emotions and rushed forward, tightly hugging her daughterâs body like a frantic mother.
âDonât scare me Yanâer, it wasnât easy for me to remember everything, how can you leave me behind so soon?!â
Dragon Flame may not have reacted as strongly there, but heâs also standing there in a dull state: âIt canât beâ¦. it looks so serious. She couldnât have died right?â
She couldnât have died right?â
Everything in the surrounding environment immediately became shut from Bai Xiachenâs senses, leaving only the pounding heartbeat from his chest that indicated his own emotions.
My motherâs dead?
Sheâsâ¦. been killed?
A burst of air exploded out of the boyâs body, shrouding him in a visible torrent of tyrannical wind with changing signs of it surging upwards.
Dragon Flame was the only one standing behind the family so he had the perfect view from his angle. Immediately, a look of horror overtook his eyes as he gulped.
Thisâ¦. what the hell is going on here?
Why is this little fella going through such a drastic change and in such short timing? He not only changed physically, his energy signature also changed.
â¦â¦
âYouâ¦â Keeper Ling could barely believe the child thatâs confronting himself. Itâs menacing and frightening, just like a sinister monster from the depths of hell itself.
Why?
Why does the little guy make me tremble just by looking at him?
Bai Xiachen didnât utter a single word in this case. With a light tap of his foot, he was already in front of the elder, his palm reaching out like he wants to clap him out of existence.
Of course, the little steambunâs strength wasnât at that level yet, he only managed to send the Keeper flying back several meters from sheer brute force of his powers. Nevertheless, itâs enough to leave the old goat in the background utterly dismayed from such strength.
