Just as An Lin and Su Qianyun were enjoying a reunion embrace, Duan Tianyu crawled up from the ground looking as if he had seen a ghost.
His charred body stood up unsteadily, and he opened his bleary eyes, only to find that someone was abusing single people and couldnât help but spit out a mouthful of blood. [1. Thereâs an analogy in China that being lovey-dovey is essentially visual abuse for people who are single, so thatâs what âabusing single peopleâ means here]
âF*ck you, Duan Tianyu, are you f*cking crazy?!â Dong Tian gritted his teeth as he lay on the ground.
âCough⊠Go kill yourself if you want to die, donât f*cking try to take me along with you!â Kong Ling sat up and also spat out a mouth of blood.
Only Ding Mao sat in silence without moving.
It wasnât that he wasnât angry; it was only because he was dead and no longer capable of being angry.
Duan Tianyu didnât even know how to explain the situation. He had directed the four lightning dragons toward the woman but the lightning dragons suddenly changed directions out of his control. How was he supposed to explain something so bizarre?
However, he wasnât stupid. He knew that the man who had just appeared was most likely the perpetrator behind his loss of control.
âWhat? Werenât you acting like a cocky little bastard just then? Whereâs your spunk now?â
An Lin walked toward Duan Tianyu with a devilish smile on his face.
Duan Tianyu grimaced and spoke in a cold voice, âWho are you? Iâm here under the orders of Battle God Xu Ming to kill the murderer of the king of the Da Zhou Nation. If you dare to lay a hand on me, youâll be viewed as an enemy of the Ao Xin Empire!â
âHehe, so your king is allowed to try and rape whoever he wants, but his targets canât retaliate in self-defense?
âAlright, I get it, strength is everything in this world⊠I wonât waste my time with words. Iâll spare your wretched life, f*ck off back to your Battle God Xu Ming and tell him⊠I donât give a sh*t about your Oreo Empire or Ao Xin Empire or whatever. If I donât like how you look, Iâll tip your whole f*cking empire on its head!â An Lin spoke with a resolute expression.
âYou⊠How dare you!â Duan Tianyu glowered at him and clenched his fists in rage. He didnât expect An Lin to completely disregard the threat of Battle God Xu Ming.
However, he didnât even have the chance to flare up in anger before he was kicked away by An Lin.
An Lin walked toward Dong Tian next.
Dong Tian glared at him in rage and hatred. âYouâll pay for this!â
âOh.â An Lin nodded with a cold expression and sliced his head off.
Dong Tianâs eyes were still wide with shock as it detached itself from his head.
âHow dare you kill him!â Duan Tianyu roared in rage.
âI said Iâd spare your wretched life and Iâll deliver as I promise.â An Lin replied coldly and made his way toward Kong Ling.
Kong Lingâs body trembled in fear as he forced a seductive smile onto her face. âSword Immortal An Lin, Kong Ling is willing to become your slave and do anything you want for you if you can spare my lifeâŠâ
Her char-grilled features coupled with her attempt at a seductive smile made An Linâs eyes water. âI refuse.â
A black streak flashed past and Kong Ling was also slain.
He then turned his gaze upon Duan Tianyu. âF*ck off out of here, otherwise my hand might slip!â
Duan Tianyuâs body trembled at his words, but he didnât dare to retort and could only leave in disgrace.
Everything was over.
An Lin stowed away his Evil-Slaying Sword and exhaled deeply.
Su Qianyun walked toward him with dainty little steps and looked at him with curiosity in her dreamy blue eyes. âWhat did you just say to them? And why did you let that man go?â
An Lin smiled and recounted their exchange before giving Su Qianyun a general summary of the world they were in.
Su Qianyunâs eyes widened in shock. âDoesnât that mean youâre basically declaring war on the most powerful warrior on this continent? Why would you do that?!â
An Lin ruffled her hair with a smile. âBecause I met you. Think about it, our other team members must be out there somewhere in this world, so Iâm trying to get us famous! Iâm sure weâll be known throughout the whole continent after thisâŠâ
A flash of realization appeared in Su Qianyunâs eyes. âWow, Classmate An Lin, youâre so smart!â
An Lin fell into an involuntary daze at her vibrant, dazzling smile and could only gasp internally at her beauty.
As for what they were going to do next, it was actually quite simple. They just had to make themselves renowned to the entire continent in an attempt to alert the other team members of their existence.
An Lin and Su Qianyun found another resting place and set up another campfire.
An Linâs BBQ skills had been honed through extensive experience, and he soon had a campfire set up like an expert.
He brought out some of the Heavenly Lake fish from his storage ring and roasted them, much to the delight of Su Qianyun.
The two of them then began discussing the Zhan Qi Continent.
They could roughly gauge the power levels of the ranks through their experience.
If they had to compare them to cultivators on the Tai Chu Continent, Battle Masters and Battle Spirits were the equivalents of Dao Body Stages, and Battle Kings and Battle Emperors were the equivalents to Spirit Nurturing Stage. As for Battle Sages, An Lin and Su Qianyun had yet to encounter one, but they were presumably the equivalent of Soul Formation Stage.
Then there were the Battle Gods who were the most powerful beings on this continent. They could be around Soul Formation Final Stage, or perhaps even strongerâŠ
They had never fought one so they couldnât give an accurate approximation.
Thus, it could be derived that there was still quite a large disparity between the strength of cultivators on the Tai Chu Continent and the warriors of this continent.
They then moved on to the topic that was confusing both of them. Just what the hell was this Shou Yang Tomb?!
Could it be the portal to an alternate world? This was simply way too far-fetched!
There was another possibility that the Shou Yang Tomb was located somewhere in this alternate world and that there would be a way to leave this world, but they had to be patient and search for itâŠ
The campfire was still burning, and the golden sparks fluttered like fireflies through the air.
Su Qianyunâs perfect features were given a warm golden tinge by the campfire, making her appear especially alluring. âI wonder how the other guys are going. Especially White Spirit Snake and Tian Lingling. Theyâre only Dao Body Stage, and this unfamiliar world is far too dangerous for them.â
This was a part of Su Qianyunâs character. As soon as her own issues were resolved, she began to worry about others.
âTian Lingling is really smart and flexible, sheâll be alright. As for White Spirit Snake, I donât really know much about her so she really is quite a concernâŠâ An Lin nodded. He felt like these two were the weakest link in the team that he had to look out for.
The night was long, and they chatted for a while longer before they began to meditate.
Su Qianyun felt very calm and relaxed that night. Perhaps it was because she was no longer all by herself.
She stole a glance at the man beside her and was greeted to the sight of a handsome, masculine face, with a resolute hint of determination visible between his brows. His presence gave a serene and peaceful feeling⊠Could this be the so-called sense of security?
Su Qianyun couldnât help but blush as this thought occurred to her.
She hurriedly closed her eyes and began to meditate in silence again.
The sun slowly crept over the horizon and color returned to the world.
When An Lin and Su Qianyun both opened their bright eyes, they felt like they were brimming with energy and eager to do something.
