*THOOOOOMMMM*
The ground quaked violently, sending cracks racing along the cave walls as a scream echoed through the surroundings: "WHERE IS MY DISCIPLE?!"
Huh?
Zhao Tian was startled to hear Yao Jing's voice ringing from outside.
Calista's gaze narrowed and she turned her gaze to the large stone door "Someone breached our gates?"
*THOOM*
The cave shook again as debris and dust began to fly in the air...
*CRACK* *BOOM* The enormous stone door was blasted to pieces as the crumbles of the door hurled through the air.
Amidst the spiraling dust, Yao Jing walked in, her body oozing out with a fiery red aura.
However, seeing Zhao Tian's face, her cold face disappeared as a smile stretched on her lips, relief flooding her heart "T-"
*gasp* Her breath caught on her throat and her smile froze as she looked at his body filled with bruises and his left hand was gone as he was barely standing there.
A cold glint passed through her eyes as she turned her gaze to Calista who was standing there naked.
Sensing Yao Jing's aura, Calista's body tensed up in nervousness 'She is powerful.. Is she his Master?'
Huh? What?
As she blinked her eyes, she felt her world turning upside down and her face smashed onto the floor. *thoom*
"Guaargh!"
Her eyes rolled upside down because of the sheer impact as blood gushed out of her nose and mouth.
'W-What?'
Before she could think any further, she felt her body flying in the air and her back brutally crashed against the cavern walls. *boom*
"ARGHHH!!" A pained growl escaped her lips, her mind completely blacked out as she fell to the floor, dust, and debris sticking to her wounds.
Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh and sat on the floor, seeing Yao Jing smashing Calista across the cave like a rag doll.
*woosh* Crimson flames erupted from her body as it spread around Calista, scorching her body.
"GUARGH- muff"
As she began to scream again, Yao Jing pressed her foot harder on her face, smashing her skull.
Calista's eyes trembled in horror, her eyes blinded by the crimson flames and soon, the flames fully consumed her.
*thrish* The flames scorched her into ashes as they turned into dust and fell on the floor.
Yao Jing hurriedly approached Zhao Tian and kneeled beside him, quickly taking high-grade healing pills from her storage ring.
"Tian'er..."
Her voice softened as she tried to push the pill into his lips but Zhao Tian refused the pill and shook his head.
In the next instant, yellow energy radiated around Zhao Tian's body and Yao Jing's eyes trembled in utter shock.
"Y-You have light elemental, Tian'er.. but it will consume a lot of energy to heal the hand. So, here.. eat the pill."
Zhao Tian shook his head and smiled faintly, as the muscles and tendons with bone tissues began to heal.
Quickly his left arm healed completely and he clenched his palm, again feeling his hand "Haa..."
A soft sigh escaped Yao Jing's lips as she hugged him in her arms "Sorry Tian'er.. I was late."
Zhao Tian closed his eyes softly feeling her warmth "No... it was my mistake."
Retracting the hug a little, she glanced around at the corpses of the workers and the blood on the floor "You fought very well.. I am surprised, you fought against that woman and injured her to that degree."
She raised her hand rubbing the small bruises and blood stains from his cheek "She is two stages above you, you know?"
Zhao Tian let out a weak chuckle as he replied "Just know that your disciple is a genius..."
A slight frown crept over her face as she spoke "And Tian, I can feel different elemental energies from your body... and a hint of darkness."
"WHat even happened here?"
