Chapter 243 - Delusions
Pu Tong’s flying sword swiftly hacked towards Shaosi, while Shaosi’s long spear shrilly swooshed against it.
The long spear of Shaosi was accurately aimed at the flying sword, but she abruptly halted and looked at Pu Tong in shock. Her long spear had failed to hit anything, because the flying sword, which had seemed very sharp and powerful, was not real.
The flying sword that was supposed to be negated by her long spear, roared down from the air and pierced right between her eyebrows with a high-pitched sighing sound while Shaosi was staring at it. She didn’t seem to have felt any pain, only her body started to quiver, after which her face that always was cold and bland, suddenly had a smile upon it, showing a trace of gentleness and warmth.
In Shaosi’s eyes, the heavy rain and roaring wind around her had suddenly disappeared, and under her feet, were thriving and juicy grass instead of dirty sticky mud. The fierce tramps, who had been chasing her so hard, had disappeared as well. The sky was blue, dotted with pure-white clouds, with a few beautifully green small floating hills drifting across it. A group of white and pretty gigantic birds flew out from one floating hill, happily diving down towards the jungle.
This was a small valley that looked very peaceful and thriving, filled with all kinds of plants, each emitting a nice fragrance. The grassland was thickly dotted with flowering azaleas, the flowers were fiery red, making the grassland look like an ocean of flame and covering quite a few small hills. A few hundreds of cabins in this valley were also wrapped by these fiery red flowers.
A short and scrawny Taisi was riding on a huge yellow dog, rushing past her while proudly waving a wooden stick, yelling and shouting towards a group of hens, pretending to be very brave warrior.
Shaosi had just learned to walk, she staggered and followed behind the huge yellow dog, babbling while waving her pair of tiny and tender hands, trying to make Taisi slow down and wait for her.
Beside the gate of the small yard, was a beautiful and gentle woman, holding a small bamboo basket in her arm while looking at her beloved daughter and son with a smile. The bamboo basket contained newly picked bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and a few strands of wild plants.
A handsome man walked on the small trail in the ocean of flowers while grinning. Around his hand a long rope that was made from withy grass was wrapped, on which two fat and huge fishes were dangling. Grinning with a trace of embarrassment, the man let out three loud laughs from a great distance, then said, “Ha, haha,ah, today the rabbits, living on the mountain, were too smart. I tried for the majority of the day but failed to even a shoot even a hair of a rabbit, eh, fortunately, I am a good fisher as well. Although we don’t have any rabbits today, we still will be able to have these nice fishes! Right? Oi, Taisi, Shaosi, don’t wander far off, come back for these fishes in a while!”
While chuckling, Shaosi happily turned her head back and waved her hands to her Abba and Amma, then continued staggering behind Taisi and the dog.
The yellow dog happily barfed as well, chasing behind the group of chubby hens, trying to push them into a dead end corner. Following behind the group of hens, Taisi and Shaosi slowly walked away, disappearing in the ocean of flowers.
Not long after that, the peaceful and beautiful small village was suddenly submerged in raging flames, huge amounts of blood nourished those flowers making their colours become even more vivid. Four-eyed Jia Clan monsters were waving their gigantic weapons while laughing hideously, slaughtering residents of the small village one after another, as easily and carelessly as if they were chopping off grass.
The spells incanted by the elders transformed into countless twisted black chains, flying across the sky and wrapping around those Jia Clan monsters. Tens of Jia Clan monsters immediately turned into dry corpses after letting out their last howl, then those dry corpses suddenly collapsed into dust.
However, right after that, a breathtakingly beautiful blood-red moon showed up overhead the village, with a few three-eyed handsome men in luxury cloaks floating in the air, letting out beams of blood-red bright light, killing those elders, who were guarding in front of the ancestral temple and protecting the other clansmen.
Shaosi’s face suddenly twisted in pain, then she began vomiting blood.
“Shaosi!” screamed Taisi. He instantly raised his bone cane and started incanting a spell.
Pu Tong gave a teasing smile, rose her flying sword into the air once again, throwing it swiftly in the middle of Taisi’s eyebrows. Before Taisi could finish his spell, he had fallen into the delusion just like Shaosi. A warm and peaceful smile appeared on his face, while murmuring, “Abba, Amma, it’s Taisi and the little girl, we miss you so much, and uncles, and grandpas…”
Suddenly, the body of Taisi quivered and large mouthfuls of blood spurted out from his mouth as well.
“You bloody woman!!” shouted Yu Mu ragingly, while rushing forward with Man Man carried on his back. At the same time, he grabbed his gigantic, especially crafted pot and threw it directly towards Pu Tong’s head, along with a fierce gust of wind.
“Well, brainless dudes are the easiest to deal with,” said Pu Tong while laughing scornfully. Right after that, she opened her mouth and let out the flying sword once more. Similar to the previous two times, the flying swords accurately struck on Yu Mu’s forehead. Although Yu Mu swung the pot on time trying to block the sword, the untouchable sword still pierced into his forehead without any difficulty.
Yu Mu paused abruptly and a weird smile appeared on his white and chubby face.
