Chapter 313: To Me

Chapter 313: To Me

While the clones chattered in the back of Huis head, Gu Tians sword clashed with Fu Renyis blue energy sword. Hui tensed, half-expecting the blue energy to slice through his steel sword like a laser sword might, but instead, his qi blocked the blue energy the same as it blocked anything else. He leaped back, breathing a quiet sigh of relief. Thats what too many movies does to you! Getting all worked up over a glowing sword for nothing it feels the same as an ordinary sword. Its not even hot. Then again, its made of qi, not plasma. Naturally, its not the same as a scifi energy sword.

Fu Renyi backed up as well. He looked Hui up and down. Recently ascended? Ive been fifth stage for five hundred years. Ill show you the difference of five hundred years of cultivation!

Hui glanced at Fu Renyi, then cast his eyes aside demurely. Elder Brother, this small cultivator has only been cultivating for a few decades. Please forgive my inexperience.

A few Fu Renyi stared, struck dumb.

Ahthats not right. Barely a single decade, Hui corrected, nodding.

Fifth stage? Fu Renyi asked, startled.

Hui nodded shyly, glancing up to catch his response. Surprised, but not angry? Hmm, too bad. I suppose thats not the right angle to take to taunt him. Ill keep prodding.

Recovering from his surprise, Fu Renyi laughed. Such rapid cultivation. You must have a shallow foundation. Theres no future for those who rush blindly ahead!

Er, tell that to Master Hui thought silently.

Brandishing his blue sword, Fu Renyi rushed at Hui again. Hui threw out a handful of barrier talismans and retreated, blocking a few blows with Gu Tians sword. Fu Renyis blade penetrated his guard a dozen times, but each time, the barriers deflected it enough to save Hui from death. A few wounds opened up on his body and limbs, only to quickly close due to his plant body.

Fu Renyi laughed. He hung back. Qi gathered around him forebodingly. A shallow foundation, as I thought. Have you even held a sword before?Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Damn sword cultivators, thinking theyre better than everyone else, Hui grumbled internally. He put on an apologetic expression and casually activated a few more barriers as he did so. This small cultivator is no sword cultivator. Forgive my ignorance."

The only one youll have to ask for forgiveness is the Lord of the Underworld! Fu Renyi declared. He zipped forward, faster than Huis eyes could see. In the next moment, his field of vision changed. The roof appeared before his eyes, then his body. He struck the floor and rolled, floorboards flying past.

Hui frowned. I couldnt see through his move at all. He really is at the peak of this realm, while Ive barely stepped into it. If not for the unique circumstances of my body, Id be in dire straits right now.

So thats what youre after. The vitality and qi of these girls, the same as me, Fu Renyi said, narrowing his eyes. No wonder you allied with that half-demonic Bai Clan.

Half-demonic? Which half, male or female?

Jokes aside, though, dont you realize your own hypocrisy in admitting youre stealing the life force of these girls, and simultaneously calling the Bai Clan half demonic?

Since we have the same goal, cant Senior share his plans with me? Hui suggested, smiling gently.

Share the same goal, Fu Renyi scoffed.

Hui waited, still smiling.

Fu Renyi shook his head. No. I I only want to bring my wife back. My loving wife, my beloved partner for centuries who died giving birth to my worthless youngest daughter, Fu Liyu. His expression turned vicious, almost demonic. My youngest daughter, who stomps all over a fathers love, who sleeps with random men and even dares to allow her fianc to back out of their relationship after shes already pregnant with his son. That unfilial daughter of mine should give my wifes life back to me! All shes done is cause problem after problem. Better to use her soul, so similar to my dear wifes, to call my wife back from the Yellow Springs!

Ah. Hmm. This man this man has several problems, Hui decided, nodding to himself. So that array, the parasitic one in Fu Liyu?

The same as her mother bore her, she will bear her mothers soul back to this world, Fu Renyi declared.

And the other girls? Hui hinted.

It takes great energy to call souls back from the Underworld. Without the reserves of a great sect or large clan, how else am I supposed to gather so much energy? Fu Renyi asked.

Hes insane. Killing his own daughter and a dozen other women to bring back his wife? This man doesnt he understand that his wifes soul has already passed on? At best, it languishes in the Yellow Springs, unable to reincarnate due to the remnant soul hes trapped here. Not only has he planned to kill his daughter, but hes also prevented his wife from reincarnation. All hes done is cause problems, without solving a single one!

Hui shook his head at Fu Renyis blindness, then nodded to himself. I wonder if I can gain points with the reaper for sending his wifes remnant soul back into the path of reincarnation? Its worth a try, anyways!

But first, I have to defeat Fu Renyi!
