C29 (2/2)
At this moment, he put aside his hesitation from before and wholeheartedly started fighting with the man.
Fortunately, she had learned some martial arts in the modern world, so fighting wasn't too difficult. However, she always felt that this wasn't the strength that a man should have. She felt that he was playing with her.
Without giving her time to think, she bit her finger and dripped her blood on the jade pendant. The jade pendant instantly shot out a blinding white light at Yun Xiao. Soon after, everyone saw a white transparent butterfly appear in front of her eyes.
”Break!”
Following her shout, a white butterfly slowly crawled out of her hand and turned into a sword. It charged towards the man at a lightning speed that no one could detect.
Perhaps it was because her strength was too great, causing the snow on the ground to fly into the air and block everyone's line of sight, she took the opportunity to kill the black-clothed man, but she did not find his figure.
”Truly a despicable villain. ”Ah …”
Even after the heavy snow had dissipated, she still did not see the person she was looking for. She stood on the ground and pointed her sword at the sky as she shouted. He actually used Qing Gong to escape. If he himself knew Qing Gong, today would be his funeral.
However, she had wronged the man in black this time. He had not noticed that the powerful air current from her butterfly sword had been blown away. Luckily, he had good lightness skills, otherwise, he would have been a pile of bones long ago.
At this moment, he was clutching his wounded chest, laughing at himself as he rushed to his residence to recuperate.
After a long while, Bai Zhixi stopped shouting, and the butterflies returned into her body one by one, as if they had never come out.
After that, everyone heard a few ”boom boom” sounds, and then the sounds of crying children around them and the screams of women, as well as the sound of houses collapsing came.
Bai Zhixi was startled for a moment, then ran out to face the falling snow. Seeing the houses in front of her fall one by one, and the cries of children resounding, she could not stop the tears from rolling down, blaming herself endlessly.
Without enough time to think, he followed Lan Yi and the servants by Elder Tie's side to save the people under the ruins of the house. She hadn't thought that because of her momentary willfulness, she would bring harm to so many people.
Fortunately, this place was rather remote and there weren't many families nearby. Otherwise, she would have committed a great sin. After all, they were all innocent people.
After a long while, they finally saved all their lives and simply didn't die. Only a few of them suffered from superficial wounds, so Bai Zhixi got Lan Yi to give them the money to rebuild their homes. The citizens were all immensely grateful. She was utterly ashamed as she hastily bid Old Daoist Tie farewell and left.
”Little girl, I have a word of advice for you. Your ability is still weak, so you shouldn't use that demonic technique. You should not only hurt others but yourself as well.” And it might bring you death, so I advise the girl to stop using it. This is the most amazing thing in the world. With your current ability, killing you would be as easy as flipping your hand. ”
Elder Iron didn't have the amiable expression he had before as he looked at her with a grave expression.
”I have remembered Elder Iron's teachings, I will remember them in my heart.” But if someone who doesn't know his place wants to take my life, then don't blame me for being merciless. ”
Bai Zhixi could hear Elder Tie's concern, he had used a jade pendant just now, it was indeed an evil monster. Just like how she hadn't seen the man after the snow cleared, she wasn't in the mood to pursue the matter. If she hadn't relied on this evil creature, she might not have been its match.
”Well, I hope you keep that in mind. Oh right, what happened to the butterfly in your jade pendant? ”Don't tell me you just forged it?”
Elder Tie's gaze locked onto the jade pendant on Bai Zhixi's chest. He furrowed his brows, waiting for Bai Zhixi's reply.
”Elder Iron, this is my secret. One word or two is not clear, when the day is fated to meet again, I will explain it to you in detail. I should go now. ”
It wasn't that Bai Zhixi didn't want to say it, but that he didn't know how to begin.
She had accidentally discovered a butterfly in the jade pendant. That day, when she was about to use a needle and a bracelet as a weapon, she had accidentally cut her finger and dripped it on the pendant.
That was why she used the excuse of forging weapons to find the world's most famous craftsman, first to forge a weapon for herself, and secondly to craft the jade pendant so that no one else would be able to detect it. She felt that once everyone knew about the matter of the jade pendant, her life would be in danger. This was not what she wanted.
Who would have thought that there would be someone spying on her today? She even used this evil thing to make so many people homeless.
As he thought about the moment the butterfly appeared, the white light pierced through the clouds, but no one had seen it before. Moreover, she felt that the power of the butterfly was much greater than the last time she used it, she couldn't even control it herself. However, what she didn't know was that the butterfly wasn't in the jade pendant, but was in between her eyebrows and within her body.
”Miss, are we in trouble?”
When Bai Zhixi heard this, he looked up and saw a group of black-clothed men surrounding him. He'd been thinking about butterflies ever since he'd left Elder Iron's place, but he didn't want to walk into this desolate area and fall into the encirclement.
