Chapter 46: The Plot is changed!
Sheng Tian immediately boosted to his full strength and got ready to use the Dark Sword Arts as he caught his blood Red Sword "Scarlet of Blood".
Everyone is busy doing their own job without a moment to spare to look at him, he decided to use his profound arts. It would allow him to fight at his complete strength. Since he won't be discovered. Everything should be fine.
Others can recognise him based on his profound arts, that was the reason Sheng Tian held back from using them. Now that the situation turned serious, he could only leave his inhibitions and take the risk.
The Seven devils coming at him became faster and faster as they turned into blurs almost mixing with the air.
A profound energy shield formed around Sheng Tian's body with its size being 20% larger than him. It covered each and every part of his body. It was just like wearing a large full body costume as an armor.
The catch is Sheng Tian's attack can reach the outside with no problems while the attacks from outside would be blocked.
He drew an arc with his sword as he used the first move of the Dark Sword Arts—Dark Cloud Slash.
His sword movement looked very random, like a cloud fleeting in the air, but only an expert can see the hidden power behind this move.
As soon as the devils got near, Sheng Tian slashed out.
A shocking amount of strength gushed out from his sword blasting the devils.
The combined strength of the Seven devils is not a pushover either.
They used a joint attack maximising the damage and lethality of the attack all the while making sure that he had nowhere to run by blasting him with profound energy from all the sides.
This was to insta-kill him or at least heavily injure him in one shot!
Sheng Tian would be simply putting himself to direct death if he were to fight them earlier. That was only when he was not using profound arts.
But even now, he couldn't possibly kill these devils easily.
*BOOM*
The attacks collided, the defenses shattered as they were all blasted away.
Sheng Tian didn't suffer heavy injuries due to his physique and little body cultivation, but he definitely had light injuries. The devils also had quite some injuries but the damage was distributed and no one was more injured than Sheng Tian.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen is having a hard time keeping time protecting his two girls. It was not easy even for someone like him who possessed great battle instincts and experience.
In fact, his battle experience was so great that it was more than every other cultivator in the room combined, including Liu feifei.
He has been fighting since he knew and never stopped till he died. He had lived for battle and battled for life.
He is the Legendary War God—the most prominent human in the War 5,000 years ago on the side of humanity.
Yet, here he was today, fighting with all he got so that he could protect two people from the ants like devils he would have squashed long ago in his past.
Life is really fascinating!
Qin Qing never felt so useless. All she wanted was to help Ling Chen and not become a burden.
She was also grateful to Liu feifei. Seeing the injuries on Ling Chen's hand, bit her lower lip as blood flowed out.
She looked at a devil coming ahead and rushed forward instantly catching Ling Chen and Liu feifei off guard resulting them to halt their attacks in fear of injuring her.
Qin Qing turned back and smiled, but that smile had a deep sorrow behind it.
She spoke in a yearning tone "Ling Chen, did you know? From childhood, I was always fighting alone to not become a marriage chip.
No one was by my side. It was only you gave me a sense of security. Even I don't know when I started loving you but I fell deeply for you.
I wished that I could stay by your side this lifetime even if it means going through hell! But, I don't want to harm you, not even in my dreams. So, I will be useful to you at least with my death. Maybe I can become your wife in next life."
She turned around and in a flash started burning her blood essence completely.
She knew that even if the red box was stopped by Leng Yue Yan, it is very difficult to survive. So, she decided to do the only thing she could to let her beloved survive.
Will he remember me after I died? she thought at the last moment before she was about to release the attack.
Liu Feifei was completely taken back by Qin Qing's actions. She didn't want to lose her good sister Qin Qing and shouted frantically "Qin Qing, I won't allow you to marry him if you die! Return now!"
Ling Chen, who was the subject of the message, stood rooted to the ground. He couldn't imagine how things turned out like this. The first time he met Qin Qing was when he fought to protect the guys from bullying Liu Feifei.
After being beaten up, they threatened that their background being some noble family in the Qin Capital. Before Ling Chen could show them the Sacred Sword Sect token, Qin Qing already arrived at the place and warned those people that they were her friends and she is their backing.
Initially, he was a bit suspicious of her 'kindness'. But after Qin Qing explained the upcoming selection test of the Qin Family head to the duo and told them that they could choose to participate if they were willing to. She won't force them and treat them the same regardless of their choice.
It was then Ling Chen started feeling a bit of admiration towards her.
In the following days, Liu Feifei and Qin Qing often stayed together. They went on strolls, shopping and chatted non-stop. Liu feifei would always blabber about how she wished to have a sister like Qin Qing in her previous life.
Ling Chen had to listen to her one-hour blabbering daily putting aside his cultivation, but he was not angry. Because he could clearly tell from Liu feifei's tone that she was genuinely happy.
And from then, he started seeing Qin Qing as one of his own people. That was why he even took revenge for Qin Qing in the Bone Forest instead of just getting the Jade Seals. He felt responsible for her and decided to help her in her future troubles.
But who would have thought that....She was always in love with him this entire time!
Ling Chen suddenly felt a pain in his heart that he felt in his previous life. The pain of losing someone you care about. That was also when he knew that Qin Qing's position in his heart might not just be friends anymore.
As these thoughts ran at lightning-quick speed, he snapped out of his daze and shouted at her by her name for the first time " Qin Qing, noooooo!"
Even Sheng Tian's attention was caught by the barbarous shout.
With one look he understood the situation, and looking at these seven devils and sighed. It seems like this is the plot~
Qin Qing moved her sword to put on all her life force into the sword. All her focus was on killing the enemy with her utmost strength. She didn't even think about putting up a defense as she would die anyway after attacking.
Ling Chen and Liu Feifei were fighting at the right corner from the red box and Qin Qing was in the middle. They didn't have the chance to save her!
Ling Chen's veins popped up as he stared at her with red eyes. He didn't want this to happen!
Liu Feifei had tears running down her face. She didn't want her only sister to die!
Just as Qin Qing was about to slash out, a large clap echoed in the room.
The next thing they knew, Qin Qing was blasted to Ling Chen who caught her body in his arms.
There was a red mark on her face with 5 fingers print!
With such a deep red mark on her beautiful face, it could evoke pity from even the cruelest person. How could one be so heartless to slap such a beautiful maiden?!
Then they heard Sheng Tian's voice "Don't thank me and become my fans. You guys owe me a 100 meals for saving her and err...that armour is only a temporary gift, I will take it back later."
Then Ling Chen and Liu feifei saw Sheng Tian appear at the center of the stage and quickly dashed towards his own opponents.
Ling Chen and Liu feifei didn't know what to say to this fellow. Grateful? Of course, they were eternally grateful for saving Qin Qing. They can't just pay this debt off.
But why did he slap her off?! Thankfully, no tooth was broken. It seems like he still had some conscience after all. But if he really did have a conscience, why did he even slap her in the first place? Aii, The slap must be really painful.
She was slapped to oblivion! Even in her dazed state, tears were flowing from her eyes like a river! Poor girl! Doesn't this fellow know that fairer sex should be treated gently? No wonder he is still single!
Then they found an armor on Qin Qing. It automatically covered her whole body. It can definitely give her safety for a while when they go all out to kill the devils. They seemed to really owe him a big one this time.
Meanwhile, In the Snow Glazing Lotus, Xiao Lian was having both her hands on her cheeks as she panicked whether this fellow would really slap her too if he knew the truth she was hiding!
She never felt so anxious!
(Greetings, Readers. The plot was to let Qin Qing sacrifice herself. But as you can see, Sheng Tian is not ok with that and slapped her to life. *Cough*. This is unexpected and unstoppable. So, I better not intervene.~)
