Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 130: Ch 130: Xu Ling

The materialization of a spear was another lower-level skill that had previously appeared in Emrys’s mind automatically. This skill was called Death Scythe Descent.

Only when Emrys could perfectly materialize a Death Scythe could he be said to have reached initial success in cultivating this skill.

Unfortunately, this was the first time Emrys was using this skill, and he was not proficient in it. In the end, instead of a Death Scythe, all he was able to materialize was a Dark Spear. For a moment, he was even ashamed.

After all, it was not just a matter of mastery over a skill. At the very least, Emrys should have gotten the shape right. Instead, he ended up materializing an entirely different weapon.

He was not surprised when the Ape Beasts shattered into fragments of energy and entered his body, he was already used to it. What made him frown was that his Soul Force did not increase even by a little bit.

It appears that those red creatures were truly unique, for they not only made him advance easily in climbing the twelve steps of foundation building, but they also brought his Soul Cultivation to the level of Gold Soul Master.

The girl was shocked but it went unnoticed by Emrys. His entire focus was on Ape Beasts for the time being.

The eyes of Ape Beasts sharpened. All of them turned towards Emrys and roared at him. The leader Ape Beast jumped a few times and appeared in front of Emrys, swept its left arm out while grabbing at Emrys with its right arm.

"Scram!" Emrys shouted loudly while smashing the black spear.

Clang!

When the black spear smashed into the leader Ape Beast’s arm, it produced a metallic clanging sound. Then, the leader Ape Beast’s iron-like arm began to emit cracking sounds. It was obvious that its arm bones had been broken.

With the strike of the spear, Ape Beast’s iron-like arm was broken by Emrys. Before the Ape Beast could even scream loudly, Emrys’s fist appeared above its head.

His fist struck the Ape Beast’s head loudly, and while producing a loud "Bang" sound, brain matter splattered in all directions. Its head was instantly smashed apart, and its body dispiritedly collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing their leader being killed so cruelly, fear appeared in the eyes of the other Ape Beasts. With miserable cries, they started running away and scattered in all directions.

A creature that only has the strength of Foundation Building Fourth Step was no match to Emrys.

The body of the leader Ape Beast shattered into fragments of energy and was absorbed into Emrys’s body.

Xu Ling, who had narrowly escaped death, was dumbstruck. She never imagines to witness such a scene.

With just a single exchange, Emrys killed the leader of the Ape Beasts, scaring the other Ape Beasts into fleeing in all directions. Emrys’s strength was obviously magnificent. This made her speechless for a long time.

Not to mention, she just could not understand why the beast’s body shattered into fragments of energy and was absorbed into Emrys’s body.

She was shocked and could not come back to her senses for a very long time.

Only when Emrys waved his hand the dark spear transformed back into black mist did she regain her senses. Then she quickly dispelled the green barrier of light that was protecting her and walked out.

Emrys finally saw the face of this girl clearly. It turned out that she was actually a beautiful girl. What surprised Emrys was that she had three star patterns in her eyes. Obviously, she had already taken three steps out of twelve in building her foundation.

At this moment, Xu Ling had exhausted too much of her energy so her face was a little pale. She wore a thin, skin-tight green robe, revealing her beautiful figure. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, emitting a delicate fragrance.

Emrys could not help but freeze for a moment, and then, the expression on his face returned to normal.

"My name is Xu Ling. Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life." Xu Ling bowed to Emrys and said which Emrys found strange because he was not used to being bowed like this.

For some reason, when Xu Ling got close to him, Emrys was very weird, as if the air around this lady was ominous. This kind of feeling was very strange and made him think that it would be much better to stay away from this lady. Otherwise, he might sweep into some trouble again due to this lady.

"It’s nothing. Since you are out of danger, I will take my leave."

Emrys looked at her, said a single sentence with a calm expression, then turned to leave. He did not have the slightest intention to chat any further after feeling the ominous air around her.

At first, he wanted to make a team with her, but now, he no longer thought of doing so.

Emrys’s action was completely out of Xu Ling’s expectations. Normally, when people see her, they take the opportunity to get close to her. But here, before she could even calm her heart and deeply look at Emrys, Emrys started to leave.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression fluctuated. She opened her red lips and loudly said somewhat embarrassedly: "This is such a dangerous forest. I am alone and you are alone as well. Are you really going to abandon me and walk away?"

"Furthermore, I have yet to thank you for saving his life. I don’t even know where do you come from and which force you belong to!"

While speaking these words, Xu Ling ran towards Emrys. Due to her earlier fight, she was already exhausted. Now, this little running caused her face to be flushed and she started to gasp for air very soon. Her current expression was enough to make countless people feel tender towards her.

However, Emrys didn’t turn back at all. He did not want to stay close to her for even a moment so he threw down a few ice-cold words. "There is no need to thank me for saving your life. As for this dangerous place, I can only barely protect myself. It is better for me to walk alone. Please take care of yourself."

As his voice fell, Emrys’s figure leaped several meters away and he was about to disappear into the forest.

Xu Ling’s face became even more pale.

With her current level of strength, she could barely contend against those Ape Beasts. Not to mention, there were countless such beasts inside this forest. In fact, there were much stronger beasts hidden here as well. The Ape Beasts she came across were only the weakest of the beasts present inside this forest.

Seeing Emrys gradually getting further and further away, Xu Ling, who was filled with helplessness, could do nothing. Gritting her teeth, she mustered up every bit of her energy and ran towards the receding figure of Emrys while shouting, "Young Master, please hold on. As long as you agree to cross this forest with me, I am willing to give you a great treasure. I will not let you suffer a loss."

"A great treasure?"

Hearing these words, Emrys’s heart moved, and his footsteps slowed down.

Xu Ling nodded her head and said, "I believe that you have already seen the power of Explosion Bead just now. This bead contains a trace of the explosive power that my father refined, and even Foundation Building Sixth Step experts would not be able to receive its impact head-on. As long as you are willing to protect and walk out of this forest with me, I promise to give the Explosion Bead to you, young master."

Xu Ling was afraid that Emrys would not be moved, and explained quickly what kind of treasure she was talking about.

"It’s that shocking explosion just now?" Emrys turned around with a thoughtful expression.

"That’s right. This is the treasure that I relied on inside this mountain forest. My father only gave me a few of them, but who would have thought that I would have to use one of them not long after entering this forest."

Xu Ling’s expression was extremely helpless.

In her snow-white palm, she was holding a bead that was slightly blue. Even though it looked normal, the power it had just displayed made Emrys’s eyes burn with envy.

Looking at this remarkable bead, Emrys pondered for a moment, then took it over with his hand. After playing with it for a while, he asked, "This Explosion Bead is indeed a great treasure, however, I am still a bit curious. Why do you want to cross this forest with me?"

Hearing this, Xu Ling’s face slightly changed, and her expression became indecisive. Obviously, she did not want to answer Emrys’s question.

"Since you are not willing to tell me the truth, then I will not cross this mountain forest with you."

As Emrys said, he returned the Explosion Bead to Xu Ling. Emrys’s act of returning the Explosion Bead to her immediately caused her eyes to stiffen.
