Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Past of Qing Shuang and Fei Yue 2
Watching Qing’s figure disappear at the entrance of the Forbidden Land, the Great Elder walked slowly towards the imprisoned sisters.
However——
When he truly approached, those cyan eyes, identical to Qing Ru’s, surprisingly flickered with a chilling ferocity.
That gaze, like a wounded young wolf, fixedly stared at the hunter’s throat.
Cang Xuan’s pupils slightly contracted.
So young, yet already possessing such a powerful desire for revenge... If this girl grows up...
He discreetly scanned the surroundings, his gaze pausing briefly among the crowd.
A figure of the Ghost Race immediately understood and quietly vanished into the rain curtain.
At this moment, the Great Elder’s face bore a seemingly amiable smile.
"Your father has already taken all the blame; from this moment on, you’re free."
"However... you must leave the Ghost Race immediately, never to return!"
Fei Yue lifted her head from Qing Shuang’s embrace, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
They don’t have to die?
The relief of surviving the ordeal had just surged in her heart but was ruthlessly suppressed by the reality of her father’s eternal imprisonment.
Only Qing Shuang noticed the fleeting coldness beneath the Great Elder’s smiling facade.
She tensed up, protecting her sister more closely.
Subsequently, the Great Elder unlocked the barrier that had confined the two.
At the moment the barrier was lifted, the observing clan members reluctantly made way for a narrow passage, but curses followed closely:
"How dare these two calamities survive! It’s truly cheap for them!"
"They caused Fei’s death, they should’ve gone down to accompany him!"
"Indeed, bad luck is just bad luck! But they can never return to the Ghost Race... Then we can be at ease!"
Amid these curses from the Ghost Race, Qing Shuang and Fei Yue supported each other and left the Ghost Race.
But at this moment, Qing Shuang silently made a vow in her heart.
Someday, she’ll return to the Ghost Race with her sister!
Let these people see whether they are truly a bad omen!
Soon, the sisters were getting farther and farther away from the Ghost Race, gradually leaving the Ghost Clan’s Residence behind.
Fei Yue raised her head, eyes filled with uncertainty for the future:
"Sister, we’ve left the Ghost Race, we... Where should we go?"
Qing Shuang wiped the rain off her sister’s face, "Anywhere!"
"As long as we’re together, any place will do!"
Qing Shuang comforted Fei Yue.
As the elder sister, she must shoulder more responsibility!
Yet, just as the sisters were about to head off.
The space suddenly twisted, and a figure emerged out of thin air.
It was that Ghost Race strongman who had vanished from the crowd earlier!
"Why bother thinking where to go?" he sneered coldly, "Your journey ends here."
Qing Shuang’s pupils contracted sharply, shielding Fei Yue behind her:
"Yue! Run! Don’t look back!"
Upon hearing her sister’s command, Fei Yue hesitated no longer and turned to flee.
However, this scene amused the Extraordinary Level Ghost Race who blocked them.
"Run? Competing with Void Talent for speed on foot?"
He shook his head disdainfully:
"Indeed useless, hasn’t awakened even the most basic Power Talent and Void Talent... No wonder you killed your own mother."
"Nonetheless, all this shall end."
The next moment, the Extraordinary Level Ghost Race attacked Qing Shuang forcefully.
But Qing Shuang, almost out of instinct, rolled backward at that instant.
She narrowly avoided this deadly strike.
This unexpected turn surprised the Extraordinary Level Ghost Race, a hint of astonishment flashing through his eyes.
"Interesting!"
"An Awakened Tier One can dodge my attack..."
"Your combat instinct is really strong! You’re just like your father!"
"If it were the same level, I might really have trouble against you!"
"But that’s all there is to it!"
Before his words fell, the Extraordinary Ghost Race’s ghost qi surged, his fingers hooked straight at Qing Shuang’s chest!
Qing Shuang stiffened——
The opponent actually employed Void Power, completely sealing off the space around her!
As death approached instantly, she instinctively turned her head...
To take one last look at her sister.
Yet this glance threw her into an icy abyss——
Why is Fei Yue still here?!
Is she stupid?!
"Run, you fool!" she screamed silently in her heart.
At this moment, Fei Yue was trembling all over.
She indeed took two steps...
But ground to a halt.
Her sister was still there, how could she leave alone?!
Each time it was her sister shielding her from danger!
No matter how many times, when danger arises, her sister was always shielding her!
She’s truly always been protected by her sister!
Watching her sister struggling vainly in the hands of the Extraordinary Ghost Race, an unprecedented sting swept over her.
Why? Why? Why?
Does she have to be protected by her sister!
No...
Can’t be like this!
She must protect her sister, even if just once!
Her immature hands clenched pale, the unwillingness in her chest almost tearing her apart!
"Sister——!"
Fei Yue’s shout seemed to tear through time and space.
In an instant, the world became extremely slow in her eyes.
Void unveiled like a veil, revealing its most fundamental arteries.
She, awakened!
One of the Ghost Clan’s talents:
Void!
The ghost claw about to pierce her sister’s chest slowed like a snail in her eyes, but she couldn’t stop it!
However...
Without a moment’s hesitation, Fei Yue’s figure instantly dissolved into the void.
"Splurge!"
The Extraordinary Level Ghost Race’s palm penetrated her abdominal cavity.
In that instant, with Awakened Tier One power, she instantly crossed the distance and stood in front of Qing Shuang.
"Drip!"
"Drip!"
The sound of blood splattering on the ground roared like thunder in Qing Shuang’s ear.
Her cyan pupils contracted violently, the whole world seemed to freeze at that moment.
How could this be?!
"Fei... Fei Yue?"
The voice trembled uncontrollably, the sight before her like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.
The sister she had always protected was now using her frail body to shield her from a lethal blow!
"Sis... Sister..." Fei Yue’s blood-stained lips curved up with difficulty, "Fei Yue... can protect you too..."
"Poof——"
Another mouthful of blood gushed out, splattering on Qing Shuang’s pale face.
Her sister will die!
Her own sister will die!
This thought gnawed at Qing Shuang’s sanity like a venomous snake.
Her countless times protected sister is going to die right in front of her?
This sort of thing...
This sort of thing... how can that be allowed?!
Blood threads crazily spread in her eyes.
Her hands unconsciously clenched tight, nails piercing the palms, blood dripping to the ground.
"Tsk, actually awakened her talent before dying."
The Extraordinary Ghost Race coldly withdrew his arm, tossing Fei Yue at Qing Shuang like a rag:
"Consider yourself lucky, this little girl blocked a strike for you!"
He casually shook the blood off his hands.
Have to strike again, so troublesome!
Yet he was oblivious to...
The moment she caught Fei Yue, eerie black qi began to seep from Qing Shuang.
Her eyes gradually turned crimson!
