Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 148 148

Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue ran at full speed toward the battle scene between Tenku and Gu Yuxuan. But before the two girls reached their destination, they suddenly stopped their footsteps when they felt the space around them trembling, and a green light blinded their eyes.

"What's this!?" Huang Yuxin said in fear. Her body shivered as the pressure from the green light was so terrifying. Huang Yuxin felt like thousands of blades were slicing her.

"I don't know. But I suspect that it's an attack that combines sword intent with some technique. This feels so familiar. Can you feel it too?" Wang Ruyue's condition was the same as Huang Yuxin's, but she tried to stay calm even though her body trembled slightly.

"Ah, I think I've felt it before. This is the same sword intent that Tenku used in the final round!" Huang Yuxin finally realized it after Wang Ruyue reminded her.

"Yes. So this is an attack unleashed by Tenku! Let's go there immediately!" Wang Ruyue deduced from what she felt from the green light. She was sure that the attack came from Tenku. Wang Ruyue wanted to get to that place as soon as possible to discover what had happened there. Huang Yuxin nodded in response, and the two girls increased their running speed.

The two girls didn't take long to reach their destination. But when Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them.

They had seen the environmental damage after Tenku's battle against the Drakes, but it was not nearly as bad as the scene before them. The two girls were sure the place before was full of large trees and several small hills. But now it has turned into a vast flatland. Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue were speechless when they saw that absurd sight.

"What happened here?" Wang Ruyue looked at the place and said in a trembling voice.

"Could a cultivator in the Sky Origin realm be able to use such a terrifying attack? I would believe it more easily if someone said that a natural disaster had hit this place instead of being leveled by a boy the same age as us." Huang Yuxin said in disbelief.

"No. I don't think any attack from a cultivator in the Sky Origin realm could change the terrain to this extent. This might be related to the power of his Phantasmal Object.

By the way, where's Tenku? Why can't I see him?" Wang Ruyue checked around the area but saw no one there. She should be able to find Tenku or Gu Yuxuan in that place easily, but she didn't see any of them.

"He's there!!" Huang Yuxin pointed at a certain place and ran over in a hurry.

Wang Ruyue was startled after looking in the direction the girl was pointing. She found someone lying in the middle of the flat land and immediately recognized that person was Tenku. Then Wang Ruyue quickly followed behind Huang Yuxin.

"Tenku! Are you hurt!?"

"Tenku! How are you!?"

Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin said simultaneously.

Tenku turned his head when he heard their voices. He was lying on that spot because he was running out of strength and feeling tired after using large-scale attacks. Tenku was forced to use that technique because he felt that Gu Yuxuan's strength was about the same as a seventh-level monster. With that strike, he slayed Gu Yuxuan and the demons within his body, leaving no trace.

But Tenku didn't expect Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue would come to that place right after he defeated his opponent.

"What are you doing here?" Tenku stood up and asked them in a low voice. He was a little angry that they came at him. Fortunately, they arrived after he released that attack. If the two girls had appeared earlier, they would have been injured from the impact.

"Of course, we came here because we were worried about you!" Wang Ruyue's face became sad when she saw Tenku's state. His clothes were torn, and several parts of his body were deeply injured.

Although the wound was not that serious, it made Wang Ruyue worry and feel guilty. After all, Tenku fought against Gu Yuxuan to protect them, and this was the second time he had been injured for them.

"Yes! We worry about you! Even though we know that we will only burden you, we cannot let you fight alone. Especially after we saw that pillar of black light, we couldn't just sit back and watch you get hurt again for us!" Huang Yuxin had tears in her eyes, and she looked really worried about him.

Tenku felt warm in his heart when he saw the concern of the two girls. He felt guilty for getting angry with them.

"I'm sorry for making you two worry about me." Tenku smiled and said apologetically.

"You don't need to think about it. Most importantly, where is Gu Yuxuan? I haven't seen him anywhere." Wang Ruyue asked and looked around the surroundings vigilantly.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about him. He's dead. I killed him." Tenku replied calmly and explained what had happened in their battle.

Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue were shocked after hearing about it. They did not expect that the origin of the Gu family's strength was a real demon. The two girls felt even more astonished that Tenku could kill Gu Yuxuan after his cultivation base broke through to the innate realm.

"Then how are you feeling now? Do you have internal injuries? Did you feel any abnormalities in your body after fighting that demon?" Wang Ruyue bombarded Tenku with questions.

"Yes! Do you feel something strange on your body!?" Huang Yuxin added and started to examine Tenku's body.

"I'm fine. I only received minor injuries and feel tired from using too much Qi and genesis power." Tenku moved his body and showed the two girls that he was fine.

Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue did not immediately believe his words. The two girls examined Tenku's body carefully from head to toe. Before long, they sighed in relief after confirming that he didn't suffer any major injuries, just as he had said.

"Thank goodness you're okay. I was worried that you would be seriously injured after I sensed that Gu Yuxuan's strength had drastically increased to the innate realm." Wang Ruyue said softly, and her expression improved as her worries disappeared.

"Fortunately, you weren't seriously injured. If something bad happens to you, we will feel guilty about it. By the way.…." Huang Yuxin wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked at Wang Ruyue. That girl nodded in response to her gaze and understood what she meant.

On the other hand, Tenku was confused by the exchange between the two girls. He had no idea what they were talking about with their eyes. After that, he was slightly surprised when he saw the two girls suddenly standing before him and bowing to him.

"We are sorry!" Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin said simultaneously.

"What are you doing?" Tenku asked in confusion. He didn't remember that the two girls had made a mistake that should be forgiven.

"We apologize for being afraid of you when we saw you kill the people of the Gu family." Huang Yuxin said.

"Yuxin and I know that you did it to protect us, but we couldn't help but feel scared because it was the first time we saw someone our age kill another person without blinking. Therefore, we apologize to you." Wang Ruyue said with a regretful face.

"Ooh, so you two apologized to me for that." Tenku finally understood the reason the two girls suddenly apologized to him. Huang Ruyue and Wang Yuxin nodded in response to his words. They still haven't raised their heads because Tenku hasn't forgiven them.

"Please raise your head. You don't need to apologize because I'm not angry with you. But if you want me to forgive you, you must do something for me." Tenku said softly.

"What's that?"

"I will do it as long as it's within the range of my abilities!"

Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin raised their heads and asked in turn.

"I want you to promise me not to tell anyone about this matter. Be it my battle against Gu Yuxuan, my cultivation base, and Phantasmal Object." Tenku looked at the two girls seriously.

"I understand. I promise I will not say this to anyone, including my father and mother!" Huang Yuxin said without hesitation.

"My mouth is tightly sealed. I will never discuss this matter with others. But… does my grandfather know about this?" Wang Ruyue asked curiously. If Wang Haotian knew about Tenku's power and purposely hid it from her, she would have to ask her grandfather for an explanation.

"Yes, my master already knows about this. So it's fine if you discuss this matter with him." Tenku nodded in response. This made Wang Ruyue a little surprised.

(I will interrogate him until midnight after we return to the Wang family's mansion! I want my grandfather to tell me everything about Tenku that he has been hiding from me!)

Wang Ruyue grumbled in annoyance in her mind.

(After returning to the Huang family's mansion, I'll learn more about Tenku! I'll do anything, even if I have to ask Ruyue! I don't want to be left behind by her!)

Huang Yuxin said determinedly. Then the two girls fell silent as they were lost in their thoughts.

"Okay. We should leave this place now. The people around this place might come here because my attack had killed Gu Yuxuan without a trace and destroyed the barrier covering this area. I was worried that cultivators and Realizers nearby would sense my power fluctuations and come here to check it out.

After seeing this scene, they would know that there had been a great battle in this place. It would be troublesome if they saw us and started investigating." Tenku said and brought the two girls back to their senses.

"You are right! The people around this place, especially cultivators and Realizers, will know there has been a battle here because your last attack greatly impacted this area." Wang Ruyue quickly replied.

"Some of them with high sensitivity should be able to notice even if arrays cover this place. We have to get out of here before someone comes!" Huang Yuxin agreed with her words.

"Then let's go now." Tenku looked at the two girls and said.

"Yes!" The two girls replied in unison and took their respective positions to support him in walking. Huang Yuxin held Tenku's left hand, and Wang Ruyue held the other hand.

Tenku had already refused their help as he could walk alone, but the two girls insisted on doing so as it was the only thing they could do for him. When Tenku saw the seriousness on their faces, he sighed and let the two girls hold his hands and support him.

"By the way, where did the giant centipede go?" Wang Ruyue suddenly asked when she noticed that the giant centipede wasn't around, and she didn't see Tenku do anything to cancel his ability.

"Yeah, I haven't seen that since we came here." Huang Yuxin looked around and didn't find the giant centipede.

"I gave another order to the centipede after I saw your appearance." Tenku smiled mysteriously.

His words left the two girls both curious and confused. But they refrained from asking further if Tenku didn't want to say it. After that, the three walked hand in hand, leaving the place under the beautiful moonlight.
