Chapter 91: Pathetic of an excuse

The figure clad in black crawled back, looking at the grim reaper in front of him. He didn't even see what the other person looked like as he was sure that person was behind everything.

So, he tried to crawl back, but even that didn't work as a tree appeared in front of him. It was thick, and he would have to make a round to escape, which he was sure was impossible now.

He gulped and turned his head to look at the murderer of his companions. It was a young woman with a short height, neck-length black hair that danced in the air, and golden orb-like eyes. They were staring right at him.

He recognised her.

'Y-Ying Yue? The Masked Devil? How?'

How could he not recognise the person he was sent to search for? However, he clearly knew that Ying Yue was weaker than him, and even if the stories of her talent were true, he could still kill her with his companions.

'No! The intel was all wrong. This is no talent. She's a fucking real devil.'

Ying Yue didn't bother to even hide as she simply walked towards him leisurely. He could do nothing but watch as death came close to him, step by step.

Ying Yue crouched down near him and asked, smiling playfully as she played with her dagger.

"You're a newbie, right?"

"Huh!?"

"You're clearly new to all of this. You forgot basics just because you saw a little gore. Did those bastards really thought a pathetic of an excuse like you can kill me? What a joke!"

The figure just stared in shock at Ying Yue, and couldn't even speak. Ying Yue shook her head in disappointment and forcibly took out a communicator from his bag. She sent some Qi in it and said.

'Everything is possible in this personal space, huh. But I'm sure there are limitations as I doubt Master let the Creation Energy to run free so much.'

Xiao Lan thought, looking at her surroundings. Creation Energy was a heaven-defying energy that was used to create the heaven itself. Everything in the world came from that energy, from the vast landmasses to life itself. Anything could be created from Creation Energy; it was that terrifying.

That's why Xiao Lan was sure that although Shen Yu let them use it, it wouldn't be full access. She was tempted to try to create life, but she didn't dare.

'I should just focus on my training. I'm the weakest of the group and won't contribute to anything in the Tournaments. And I need to win that for Master. He had high hopes from us, I can't let him down.'

Xiao Lan smiled as she raised her hand, holding her identity token, and wished to change the world around her. As she wished, the world around her began to change, and a new world was formed in front of her.

It was pure crimson red in colour; from the grounds to the skies, everything was red. Towering volcanoes rose in the distance, spewing lava and ashes. From them, rivers of lava came and filled the plains, making the whole world blazing hot.

Xiao sighed and marvelled at the sight as she thought.

'Ah! It feels nice to feel back at home. Although the intensity is still low, it definitely is my home.'

Xiao Lan felt her skin itching in heat, but she didn't care. This was her natural habitat, and she was itching to dive into those lava pools. Of course, she didn't do that as she knew she would die instantly.

'I doubt that...Master must have made a function where we can't die. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given us such power.'

Still, this was what she wanted, and it would also help her become a powerhouse who could turn her enemies into ashes.

Xiao grinned and said.

"Time to rise to the top again."
