Chapter 39: A Sudden Turn of Events
Seeing Luo Yunxuan appear, Lu Shui and Lu Zhen were so excited they were about to cry.
Luo Yunxuan had originally planned to visit the Fourth Elder today, but he had come down to take a look after discovering signs of a fight here.
It turned out that these two fools he had sent had failed in their task and had even been beaten up.
“You’re disciples of two elders, yet you can’t even beat an outer court disciple. I don’t think you can even stay in the inner court anymore.”
Luo Yunxuan kicked the two of them aside and then looked at Su Lingxi carefully.
It was strange. It was clearly his first time seeing Su Lingxi, but he had a familiar feeling. This familiarity was definitely not as simple as just having seen her before.
It was more like a feeling that was imprinted in the depths of his heart.
Especially those eyes, they were like Sister Yuebai’s…
Su Lingxi also hadn’t expected to see Luo Yunxuan so soon. If she hadn’t reminded him, who knows where his hands would have wandered yesterday.
Seeing Luo Yunxuan staring at Su Lingxi, Lu Shui quickly reminded him, “Senior Brother Luo, this guy is extremely strange. You can’t judge him by common sense.”
Of course, Su Lingxi was no ordinary person. Who knows what methods she had used to make Luo Chuxue keep running to her place.
Luo Yunxuan no longer thought about these trivial matters. Since he had already run into Su Lingxi, he would personally take care of this trouble.
“Su Lingxi, I’m sure you’ve heard my name and the things I’ve done.”
“I was originally going to have a few of my subordinates send you away from the sect, but I didn’t expect you to push your luck and even dare to injure my people.”
Su Lingxi: “Are you out of your mind? You only allow them to hit me, but you don’t allow me to fight back?”
“Very well. It seems you have no idea who you’ve offended.”
Luo Yunxuan no longer wanted to waste his breath on Su Lingxi. He was in a hurry to see his Sister Yuebai.
He immediately attacked, and dozens of terrifying ice blades shot straight at Su Lingxi.
And Luo Yunxuan’s spiritual energy aura was clearly different from the rumors. It had clearly reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
The gap of almost two major realms made Su Lingxi’s expression change drastically. “Holy crap, Big Brother Xiao, your information was wrong.”
She didn’t dare to be arrogant. She used the Extreme Cold Flying Shadow again. Last time, she had used it to control the enemy. This time, she used it to dodge the attack.
The ice shadow flew past, and a few ice blades missed.
Luo Yunxuan raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You can still dodge. This spiritual technique is really interesting.”
Seeing this, Luo Yunxuan formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. “Ice Condensation Thousand Realms!”
Instantly, countless ice spikes erupted from the ground, stabbing at Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi gritted her teeth. She knew that a head-on confrontation was not an option. Her gaze swept around and saw a large tree nearby.
An idea came to her. She circulated her spiritual energy and rushed towards the large tree. Just as the ice spikes were about to hit her, she used the tree trunk to leap into the air.
“Heh, such a clumsy way of dodging. Do you think you’re a monkey climbing a tree?” Luo Yunxuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He casually grabbed with his palm, and the ice spikes on the ground grew wildly, about to reach Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi gritted her teeth and quickly used her second defensive spiritual technique: Ice Heart Art: Imperial.
The surrounding ice element began to attach to Su Lingxi’s fair skin. In a few breaths, she had frozen herself into an ice sculpture.
The ice spikes stabbed at Su Lingxi. After a brief clash of forces, the ice spikes actually burst into fragments.
And on Su Lingxi’s side, there were only some large and small cracks on the ice surface. She had barely managed to withstand it.
“That’s enough!”
Luo Yunxuan could be said to be the number one genius of the Snowfall Sect. He had once defeated a strong opponent at the early stage of the Soul Formation realm with his Nascent Soul realm strength.
Now, facing someone two realms lower than him, he couldn’t even kill them in one blow. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation.
He instantly shot out, his hands turning into palms as he pounced on Su Lingxi, his power wildly released.
The profound ice on Su Lingxi’s body didn’t even last for a second before it was shattered into pieces by Luo Yunxuan. He pulled Su Lingxi out like a chick.
Su Lingxi only felt her blood surge, and her head was spinning.
A hand tightly gripped Su Lingxi’s neck and lifted her up.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Either die, or get out!”
Luo Yunxuan was unwilling to kill Su Lingxi unless he had no other choice. If he killed Su Lingxi, and Luo Chuxue found out in the future, their relationship would be irreparable.
Su Lingxi felt like she was running out of oxygen, and her hands kept hitting Luo Yunxuan.
“It’s over. I’m going to die here…”
“Brother, what are you doing?”
Just as Su Lingxi was about to leave this world, Luo Chuxue acted in time and blasted Luo Yunxuan back.
Only then did Su Lingxi lose her balance and fall to the ground, gasping for breath. There were deep finger marks on her neck.
Luo Chuxue helped her up. This was the first time the two had actually met after Luo Chuxue’s accident.
The two looked at each other, their expressions complicated.
“Senior Sister… I…”
“Don’t talk yet. Your aura is in disarray. Hurry up and heal.” Luo Chuxue’s brows were filled with guilt. She sent a gentle stream of spiritual energy into Su Lingxi’s body.
Luo Yunxuan looked at Su Lingxi, who was lying in her arms, and was already at the end of his patience.
“Get out of the way. This man is not worthy of you!” Luo Yunxuan said coldly.
Luo Chuxue didn’t turn back, her words filled with extreme indifference. “If you want to kill him, then kill me first!”
It was the first time Luo Yunxuan had seen his sister like this. His eyes were scarlet, as if volcanoes were erupting.
In his anger, he no longer hesitated. His spiritual energy accurately bypassed Luo Chuxue and stabbed at Su Lingxi’s vitals.
Luo Chuxue just turned around and didn’t even try to dodge, directly blocking the blow for Su Lingxi. The spiritual energy pierced through Luo Chuxue’s shoulder, and a large mist of blood exploded.
Blood instantly stained a large patch of Luo Chuxue’s snow-white clothes, but she had not yet fallen. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her voice was exhausted. “Brother… are you… satisfied now?”
She wasn’t doing this entirely for Su Lingxi, but for herself. She wanted to use her own flesh and blood to exchange for her freedom.
Her true freedom, not to be bound by her imperial brother, by her imperial background.
“Senior Sister! Why must you be like this?”
In that instant, Su Lingxi seemed to see Su Yuebai, the girl who would sacrifice her own life to protect her.
Now, Luo Chuxue was also willing to do this for her. She slammed her fist on the ground.
She hated that she wasn’t strong enough, or that she should have left the Snowfall Sect earlier.
At least then, Senior Sister wouldn’t have been injured.
Luo Yunxuan’s eyes instantly lost focus, and he looked at his hands in disbelief.
His most beloved sister was now severely injured by him.
“What… have I done…”
Lu Shui and Lu Zhen were scared silly. The scene felt a little out of control.
But they were the first to react. “Quick, send Senior Sister Luo to the Great Elder for healing.”
At the same time, they also took away the dazed Luo Yunxuan.
Su Lingxi’s life was saved, but at this point, could she really stay in the Snowfall Sect with a clear conscience?
