Chapter 143 - The Others (1/2)
Ren watches Nova walk over to Lady Xue's courtyard with a racing heart. He pats his chest and turns back. As long as Nova says in the palace courtyards she'll be safe. He wants to keep his distance from the crazy woman though, his poor hair depended on it!
Ren walks over to a tall peach tree and leans against it as he slowly closes his eyes. He wants to be with his Master, not babysitting this crazy woman! Suddenly, the ground starts shaking! Ren jerks up and freezes when a powerful blast of energy neatly knocks him over. The barrier!
Ren goes to run towards the barrier but stops when he thinks about Nova. Would it be okay to leave her? She's with Lady Xue, she'll be safe! He needs to protect his Master! He turns and quickly disappears.
~~~~~~
Bai Lei and the others appear before the barrier with grim looks. The barrier was completely destroyed! The old man with grey hair steps forward, pulling out his battle-ax while saying ”I thought we'd have more time... we aren't prepared for this.” Zhen suddenly appears with a grave face as he looks at the oncoming men while saying ”We need to keep them from getting passed us, that way Liling and the other woman will remain safe!”
Bai Lei grits his teeth and says ”We have to stop them, no matter what.” Lei Wei appears next to Bai Lei with a dark look as he pulls out a large golden sword, Heaven's Thunder. Bai Lei glares at him as he lifts his hand, summoning his Demonic Blood sword. The black and red blade instantly appears in his hand, seeping with cold energy.
”I won't hold back if you get in my way.” Bai Lei says turning to look at the men charging out of the Under Realm. Lei Wei snorts and says ”You took the words right out of my mouth.” Bai Lei ignores him and charges straight at the wave of men charging at them.
The other leaders grip their weapons and follow after Bai Lei but they're being pushed back just after a few blows were exchanged! The older man clenches his teeth in anger as he swings his large ax down, cutting into the shoulder of the creepy man with solid black eyes.
The creepy man grins at the old man as he slowly pulls the ax out like he was removing a splinter. The old man stumbles back as his eyes flash with fear. They're entirely too strong! The creepy man attacks the old man but before he can touch him, Bai Lei's sword cuts into the creepy man's neck from behind! The head flies off with an arch of blood as Bai Lei turns to look at his men.
”Take their heads off!” Bai Lei says blocking another attack from the side. Suddenly, Ren shows up and helps kill the man attacking Bai Lei. Bai Lei looks at Ren with shock before asking ”What the hell are you doing here!? Where's Nova?”
Ren throws a sharp blade out, effectively slicing another man's head off as he says ”She's with your mother, she's safe.” Bai Lei's heart drops as he turns to look at his mother fighting the creepy-ass men with her trusted servant.
