《World Of Swords》233 : Killing Intent
Advertisement
Hearing Feng Shuchun's words, the other two couldn't help but nod.
Although Xu Yue was a very carefree person, she also gave very few compliments.
To receive a compliment from Xu Yue you need to either be on really good terms with her or be truly skilled in what you do.
Based on Xu Yue's description of him, this Fang Shi seemed very much like the latter.
"It's a pity he died so young, since he was so talented," mumbled Lin Xue as she shook her head before taking a sip of tea from her cup.
"That's true, it is quite a pity," mumbled Xu Yue, no longer paying much attention to Feng Shi as the conversation moved on to other topics.
...
Eight years, this was how long the meeting between the four cultivators took in total.
"I have to go now, It seems I can't disturb you any longer," said Xu Yue as she suddenly got up from the table, causing Lin Xue to nod.
"It's alright, we spent more than enough time talking," said Lin Xue as she watched Liang Xiaoling and Feng Shuchun also get up from the table.
Soon after, the three cultivators left, leaving Lin Xue standing there alone, smiling.
"It's really a pity our discussion could not go on for longer," mumbled Lin Xue as the table in front of her suddenly disappeared.
A few moments later, Lin Xue closed her eyes, entering meditation.
...
Looking at Xu Yue, who had just appeared in front of her, a large smile suddenly appeared on Hulli Jing's face, as she suddenly got up, no longer sitting cross-legged.
Compared to eight years ago, the size of Hulli Jing's stomach had once again increased by a large amount signaling the fact that the end of her pregnancy was growing nearer and nearer.

Although Hulli Jing could choose to stay pregnant for more years using certain secret techniques, like Xu Yue's mother, Wu Jing, who although was a Dao Saint, managed to do some damage to her own body by keeping Xu Yue inside of her for so long.
"It seems as though you have been enjoying yourself while I was gone," said Xu Yue as she looked at Hulli Jing, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"I took a short nap," mumbled Hulli Jing, causing Xu Yue to suddenly let shake her head.
"That's good," mumbled Xu Yue as she, as well as Hulli Jing, sat back down on the bed.
"Did you enjoy your meeting with your senior and junior sister as well?" asked Hulli Jing although she already knew the answer to the question before already asking it.
"Yes, it was very good," mumbled Xu Yue as she placed her hand on Hulli Jing's stomach, feeling the vibrant life force inside of it.
"These little guys sure are busy," said Xu Yue, feeling Hulli Jing's stomach slightly shake as the three little guys inside of time moved about.
Hearing this, Hulli Jing couldn't help but shake her head.
"They've been getting more and more energetic recently, hopefully, they will still be so energetic after they are born, when they are no longer only my problem," mumbled Hulli Jing, causing black lines to appear on Xu Yue's forehead.
"Already badmouthing your own children even before they are born, I'm sure that these little guys will be obedient, I don't need to do any divination to know that, I can feel it," said Xu Yue as she took her hand off Hulli Jing's stomach.
Hearing Xu Yue's words, Hulli Jing couldn't help but nod, feeling somewhat suspicious.

"If you say so," mumbled Hulli Jing, slightly narrowing her eyes.
Most of the time Xu Yue predicted something, even when she didn't use divination or her Dao of Fate, she would be right, fully based on instinct.
But sadly, Xu Yue's instinct had now failed her at a crucial moment, failing to predict what kind of chaos and headaches those three little guys in Hulli Jing's belly could produce.
In fact, Xu Yue's prediction was so bad it seemed rather hilarious.
...
Looking at the three young men who were cleaning the Taoist temple in silence, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on Xia Jingfei's face.
Suddenly, without any warning, a barrier appeared separating Xia Jingfei from the three.
Seeing this, Xia Jingfei couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"You know, back in the days when I used to cause chaos and slaughter on a whim, nobody ever came to trouble me, but now, when I'm just living in peace, you guys suddenly gain guts," said Xia Jingfei as she looked at the figure in front of her.
Sadly, the figure did not respond to Xia Jingfei's words, as it suddenly appeared behind her, slashing its sword toward Xia Jingfei's neck.
Sadly though, even though the full attack of the figure had landed on Xia Jingfei, no scratch could be seen on the latter.
Feeling the blade that had just touched her neck, enlightenment suddenly flashed across Xia Jingfei's eyes as she stared at the handsome young man before her.
"I really didn't expect that you would have such a transformation, back then you were so wimpy, even when I destroyed your clan, you didn't do anything, merely standing in a corner, crying," said Xia Jingfei as she shook her head.
"Shut up demon, I have come to cut you down," said the young man as a blood-red aura suddenly appeared around his body.
Without any warning, Xia Jingfei suddenly disappeared from the world, reappearing inside of a purely red space.
This red space was filled with one thing and one thing only, killing intent, killing intent towards Xia Jingfei, causing a surprise to appear on the latter's face.
Without any warning, a blood-red sword suddenly pierced through both Xia Jingfei's body and spirit.
"It's quite a pity that you came here, seeing that you were not worth devouring, I left you alive back then, but It looks as though you wasted that chance I gave you."
"You are now worth killing," mumbled Xia Jingfei, whose both body and soul were collapsing, causing the handsome man that was staring at her to feel a chill in his heart.

EX: Emblem
Since humans were first born onto this world, they have been marked with an emblem. This emblem would dedicate their fate. Those marked with the strength’s emblem would become great warriors, while those marked as the wisdom’s emblem were destined to become great mages.

In a world where the emblem determines one's fate, Lynn, a 15-year old freshman, is one without these two. To be one out of a billion, will he be able to survive in this world? 500-2000 words per chapter. 1/2 years per update.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
