Chapter 144 Jade Forest-5 (Despair)
" Obviously I do feel sad, but I can't chase after something that I could never acquire, it's better to give up early than feel depressed and hope for the impossible. " Jayden said answering her question.
After pausing for a few seconds, he continued: " I know the only thing that matters to you is your cultivation, love will not mean anything to you, ever. So, it'd be for the best to move on, even though it may be a little sad. " after completing his sentence, Jayden turns his head away and looks into the starry sky.
"..."
Xiao Rong's heart was beating crazily, she felt as if something was pressing in the deep parts of her mind. She was finding it hard to understand her feelings, but one thing was for sure, she felt really bad after hearing Jayden's reply.
Xiao tried to speak but felt as if a heavy lump was stuck in her throat. She stared at Jayden's face but didn't know what to do or say next.
" It's getting late, you should get back, Ms Rong. " Jayden said and stood up, turning around he walked away without glancing back at her at all.
Xiao Rong stood there and felt as if something had just struck at her heart, she noticed the change in the way he just addressed her, he felt distant.
Xiao wondered to herself if she had fallen in love with him, shaking her head she tried to refute it, but remembering his indifferent expressions and the words he just said, Xiao didn't feel too confident in her beliefs.
She stood outside for over an hour, then went back into her tent, absent mindedly. For the entire night, she couldn't sleep, she was lying on her mattress staring into the empty air, her mind looking for answers.
Before she knew it, the sun was already rising, no matter how much she thought Xiao only came to one conclusion, that is she likes Wang Jin.
*ROOAAAARRRRRRRRR*
*SCRIEEEEEEEEEEEEK*
Xiao's thoughts were disturbed by the loud roars of two beasts, the sound alone made the aura around her to tremble. She instantly sat up and walked out of her tent, what she saw made her heart tremble in fear.
Two beasts both in the Spirit Creation realm, were approaching them, one was walking on the ground while the other flew in the sky. The beast that was walking looked like a big bear and had a resemblance to the bear Qiang had previously killed.
While the beast that was present in the sky looked like a long snake with wings, both of the beasts were in the middle stages of the Spirit Creation realm. Everyone had come out of their tents, they all looked at the upcoming abominations in despair. Just one of these beasts was enough to kill all of them in an instant, with the presence of two such beasts, their fate was already sealed.
" Ahhh- No, I don't w-want to dieee *sob* *sob* Helppppppp " one of the disciples cried out, tears dripping down his face.
" S-Senior brother, save us please. "
" Y-Yes, senior brother might be able to help us now- " one disciple shouted with some hope.
Hearing these words, the eyes of everyone searched for their saviour, but when they found him they felt the ultimate despair, Qiang stood outside his tent, his body frozen and trembling in fear.
Sensing the terrifying aura, Xiao Rong felt as if her body was frozen under ice, no matter how hard she tried she was unable to move even her fingers. Her eyes wandered off to one of the tents in the distance, as she unconsciously searched for the person who had been on her mind the entire night.
*BOOOOOOOOM*
She didn't have much time to look for Jayden, Xiao Rong almost fell back as the ground shook. The enormous bear jumped and landed in front of their group with a loud explosion, its eyes staring at all of them as if searching for someone.
*ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
After sensing the aura of its son coming from the disciples, the bear roared in anger, its roar alone made almost all of the disciples to fall unconscious. Only Qiang, Xiao and one other senior disciple were left standing.
Before the bear could attack, the snake like beast lunged towards the disciples, aiming its sharp fangs towards them. There was only one elder present there currently, since the other elder that had been watching over them went back to report some matters to the sect.
Sensing the danger, he appeared out of the trees and flew towards the Snake beast, in the middle of the attack, it changed the target and instead aimed towards the elder.
*BANGGGGGGG*
As his sword collided with the fangs of the beast, the snake was thrown back, the elder was two stages above the snake beast, so he had the advantage in the strike.
Without backing down, the snake flew towards the elder at even greater speed. Both of them engaged in a battle, and using this chance the bear demon decides to attack the remaining humans. Seeing the bear's movements, the elder wanted to rush over there, but the snake demon was blocking all his paths. He could only observe, as the bear got closer to the disciples.
*BOOM*
It waved one of its legs, kicking the third senior disciple away, he stared in despair as the kick landed on his body and his body was turned into minced meat or so he thought, but the next moment he appeared several meters away from the angry beast.
Although the elder didn't know what had happened but he sighed in relief after seeing that the disciple was safe. Xiao Rong stared at this scene, and she immediately recognised that it was Wang Jin's ability, he has used it on her too.
For some reason she felt safe, a light of hope was ignited in her heart, with bright eyes she looked around until her eyes landed on the dazzling figure she wanted to see at least one time before her death.
" Wang Jin. " Xaio screamed and ran towards him.
Seeing that its attack had failed, the bear became even angrier, it began to beat its chest, and became ready for another attack. The elder pushed back the snake and rushed towards the bear, then he threw a punch at its face.
*SMASH*
The bear stumbled back and fell, the elder wanted to deliver another blow to the beast but failed, as he sensed the snake beast approaching from behind. He immediately dodged and took a few steps back.
Both the elder and the snake beast again engaged in a deadly battle, this time the snake slowly brought the elder a little away from the disciples. At this time, the bear slowly got up and roared, it looked around until its eyes landed on Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong who was running towards Jayden stopped in the middle, she sensed the gaze of the Big beast staring towards her. Then, the bear took a step forward and waved its palm towards her, wanting to kill her in a single strike. It's attack was extremely fast and the elder was too far away to block it.
