Chapter 312 - He Wouldn’t Let Them Succeed (1/2)
Qiu Ling stared at the chaotic scene in front of him, his body slightly trembling. His beloved … had been taken away. He had vanished right in front of his eyes and he hadn't been able to do anything about it.
Where? Where had that person taken him? How was he supposed to get him back now?
His breath sped up and he finally sank down to the ground, unable to keep standing any longer.
”Jing He …” He reached out to where his beloved had just stood, his sight clouding over with tears.
This couldn't be real. His beloved wouldn't leave him. Hadn't they promised to spend the rest of their lives with each other? They still hadn't married yet …
He decisively shook his head. This had to be a ploy of the demons. They had tried to separate them but he wouldn't let them succeed. Yes, that person had managed to kidnap his beloved but he would find him and bring him back and then kill that bastard that had dared to lay his hands on his Jing He!
Qiu Ling took a deep breath and got up again. He straightened his clothes and turned around. First of all, he had to find out what had happened. Something like a Jade Gathering Beast wouldn't appear just on its own. Somebody had to have brought it over. His gaze fell on Qiguan Cheng Da who was just getting up from the ground.
Qiguan Cheng Da took a relieved sigh. He never would have thought that the 'little accident' Jin Ling spoke of would turn out like this. If not for the attack Yu Jin had sent at Qiu Ling that had flung him out of the way, too, he would have been meat paste by now. Well, he had still gotten injured but it wasn't as bad as the other disciples.
He took a glance to the side where one of them was still writhing in agony. The lower half of his left arm was completely gone, blood still flowing unceasingly from the stump. His back was a mangled mess of bloody flesh and ripped clothes. Part of the skin and hair had even been burned off by the energy set free in the explosion. The guy might have been better off dead.
Qiguan Cheng Da lifted his own arms. His clothes were singed at the hem, the fabric cut here and there and he was dirty and dusty but he didn't have any grievous injuries, only a few scratches.
He stood up and wanted to dust off his sleeves when he was suddenly grabbed by the lapel, whirled around and then came face to face with a pair of eyes that seemed so angry that he thought he saw sparks flying.
Qiguan Cheng Da gulped. ”Senior Ma—”
”Cut the crap!” Qiu Ling wasn't in the mood to pretend any longer. He wouldn't listen to even one word that was irrelevant to what he wanted to know. ”You will tell me exactly what happened just then.” His voice had already become a threatening growl. Threatening the chosen partner of a dragon was really the last thing one wanted to do.
Qiguan Cheng Da smiled nervously. ”I don't know what Senior Martial Brother Qiu is talking about. I only know that Senior Martial Brother Yu suddenly stormed over and knocked Junior Martial Brother Zhong to the ground and then something flew into the air and exploded. I —”
Qiu Ling's eyes blazed. ”Where did that Jade Gathering Beast come from?”
