Chapter 27: Waiting on The Holy Path

As Alu saw Elizabeth once again lunging at him, Alu once again took out a small knife from his storage ring. Fortunately Alu has several spare weapons. Without weapons, Alu will have a hard time withstanding Elizabeth's attacks, which are much stronger than him.

Clang...

Alu parried Elizabeth's spear that swung down towards his head.

This time Alu managed to defend the knife, but the impact of Elizabeth's spear caused Alu to fall down instantly.

ALU doesn't know if Elizabeth was on purpose or not, but Elizabeth's spearhead managed to hit the hood of his robe. When Alu fell, the hood of Alu's robe also tore, making Alu's always-closed face open.

Not long after that Elizabeth also landed not far ahead of Alu. But to Alu's surprise, Elizabeth actually no longer attacks him.

It's just that, her blue eyes were currently staring intently at Alu's face as if she wanted to carve it.

Alu didn't speak because Alu didn't have any words to say. But Alu's eyes also looked into Elizabeth's.

Even though Alu couldn't see Elizabeth's face, Alu could imagine it by remembering Elizabeth's young face.

And as they continued to stare at each other, Alu could feel the vibrations in his Phoenix soul become even more intense. It looked as if it had met its natural enemy.

Black light even began to shine from Alu's eyes.

When Alu felt the changes in his body, Alu also found Elizabeth's blue eyes suddenly began to turn blood red.

Alu who noticed the change to his Phoenix soul quickly suppressed his Phoenix soul.

Apart from not wanting unexpected things to happen, Alu was also worried that his Phoenix soul would suddenly come out in that place where there were so many people watching.

Although the people there definitely didn't think that it really was a Phoenix soul, the holy aura that emitted when the Phoenix soul appeared was something that would definitely arouse their suspicions.

According to Zaden, even the Holy Light clan's special bloodlines looked like tiny fireflies compared to the sun when it was compared to the aura emitted by his Phoenix soul.

With such an aura, one could definitely conclude that it was something very very extraordinary.

Luckily the Phoenix soul was a part of Alu himself. Even though it also had a will of its own, it couldn't go against Alu's will.

Under the coercion of Alu's will, the Phoenix soul that looked hostile when Alu was staring at Elizabeth quickly calmed down.

Alu also saw Elizabeth's eyes that had previously turned red, turn blue again when he was calming his Phoenix soul. Clearly Elizabeth did the same.

But when Elizabeth's eyes turn blue again, Alu suddenly receives a voice transmission from Elizabeth.

"You're still too weak, Alu. Your cultivation energy still doesn't seem to break through." Said Elizabeth.

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"It's so easy to kill you now. But unfortunately I already vowed to only kill you when we were at the same level."

Elizabeth's gaze grew colder as she said that.

"Then I'll be waiting for you on the holy path. Only one of us can live. I'm sure you won't let yourself die. But I also won't let you continue to live. You better not hesitate when we meet next time."

After Elizabeth said that, a red mist suddenly billowed out of her robe. When the red smoke disappeared, Elizabeth's figure also disappeared from in front of Alu.

But Alu remained standing in his place, staring at the place where Elizabeth disappeared.

ALU had guessed that Elizabeth would also blame him for what happened.

Although Alu was not completely at fault for what happened in the past, there were no words to describe it. Everything ultimately depends on everyone's perspective.

Elizabeth herself was probably aware of that. But for her, killing Alu has become an inviolable obligation in her life.

It is no longer about feelings and truth.

ALU doesn't know how he will respond to Elizabeth's attitude, but what is clear, Alu will definitely not let someone hurt him, let alone kill him.

And of course, Alu wasn't the kind of person who would ask for mercy. ALU definitely wouldn't say certain words in hopes Elizabeth would change her mind and stop being hostile to him.

Even if Alu really wished that, Alu's selfishness wouldn't allow him to do things like that which he regarded as condescending.

Alu just stopped staring when he heard Old Joz's chuckle from the side. Currently Old Joz is helping Roux and Reva who appear to be suffering from several injuries.

Alu only glanced at Old Joz for a moment before he took a step towards the city. Alu didn't pay attention to the gazes of those around him.

There were so many people in the place, but from the very beginning of Elizabeth's appearance, they were only watching from the side.

Of course, conflict wasn't something strange around there either.

With the size of the Sleeping Dragon City, the number of people in conflict every day really couldn't be counted any more.

But because fighting was forbidden in the city, the people who couldn't stand it ended up going out of the city to vent their anger.

In fact, at the time, Alu wasn't the only one in conflict. Deep in the other mountains, there were even a few Nirvana stage experts fighting.

"He-he-he, I didn't expect there to be someone with a Dragon soul. She's also a woman. And that woman seems to really want to kill you. I don't know what happened, but you seem to have found a very troublesome enemy." Charlie who was inside the egg suddenly sent a voice transmission to Alu.

"But it looks like your relationship with that woman is a bit complicated. While that woman seems eager to kill you, you seem filled with doubts."

"Bro, are you just going to let yourself be attacked?" Charlie asked.

"Nothing can attack me." Alu replied in a cold tone.

"Then what are you going to do with that woman? Are you going to take the same action?"

ALU is speechless for Charlie's question.

If it was someone else who wanted to kill him, Alu definitely wouldn't have let that person live. ALU will think of a way to kill that person. But towards Elizabeth, Alu didn't even want to try to think what to do.

No matter how much Alu's attitude changed, he couldn't shake his feelings for Elizabeth. Maybe he didn't want to get rid of that feeling himself either.

Especially when they met this time. Even though Alu couldn't see Elizabeth's face, just looking at her eyes made Alu remember many past memories.

Alu wondered what would have happened if he had actually seen Elizabeth's face.

"This is our first meeting in eight years. I can't decide right now." In the end, Alu could only say that as an answer.

"Hehehehe. Is he your childhood lover?" Said Charlie.

"But I think it's better if you think of a way to get that woman to stop fighting against you.

Didn't you ever say that you are very good at pretending.

Why don't you try to be romantic. You know, even the coldest woman's heart will melt if you... "

"Shut up…" Alu shouted before Charlie could finish his words.

"I definitely wouldn't do something like that." Said Alu in a cold tone.

In front of Elizabeth, Alu will definitely never pretend. He will only show his true nature.

After Alu said those words, he immediately cut off their voice transmission.

Alu wanted to hasten his pace after that, but his steps immediately stopped when Alu saw a spiritual ship suddenly emerge from the cloud layer above the sky.

There were many spiritual ships coming out from the cloud layer, but Alu stopped because this spiritual ship was emitting a very great aura. Its large size also looks very striking.

The spiritual ship that Alu rode on previously looked like a small boat compared to this spiritual ship.

Actually not only Alu, the people around Alu and probably everyone in the Sleeping Dragon City also stopped moving while their eyes were fixed on the spiritual ship that was actually descending directly into the middle of the city.

"Holy Light Clan." Said Alu when he saw the symbol of light on the hull of the ship.

...

(Just Filler)

"You shit woman, stop bothering me." Alu shouted with an angry expression. His eyes became very cold.

"Heh, Alu, you finally showed your true color. But I like this, at least I won't feel sorry if I kill you." She said with a sinister smile.
