NOVEL WEB Chapter 43: Holy Embryo
Especially that demeanor, icy and proudly aloof, like plum blossoms in the snow, yet seemingly a heavenly empress among mortals.
No one had expected that the one to save them would be a woman of unparalleled beauty!
Just then, from some unknown distance in the starry sky, a voice shattered the so-called theory of silence in the vacuum, directly descending upon the Ten Ice World, "Ten Ice World, Bai Shi Nu... do you know that someone on this star has killed my junior, Tang Chi?"
Bai Shi Nu spoke indifferently, "I know, it was a pig-headed person named Zhu Ganglie."
No sooner had her words faded than a twist in the fabric of space before her erupted with a thunderous boom, the area exploding!
Terrible Qi Force swept in all directions!
With a wave of Bai Shi Nu's hand, walls of ice erected, blocking all of the Qi Force...
At the same time, at the epicenter of the Qi Force, space cracked open, and a man slowly walked out.
He stood with folded arms in the midst of the starry sky, and behind him, the rifts in the void slowly closed. He had actually torn through space, traversing the endless starry sky to arrive!
"It is said that Feng Tu, the Semi-Saint under the Seven-Star Saint, has the bearing of a Saint. Seeing you today, the reputation is indeed well-deserved," said Bai Shi Nu, although her words were complimentary, she did not display any greeting, remaining haughty and indifferent, like eternal unyielding ice.
Feng Tu said, "I am here on my master's orders to avenge my junior brother, Bai Shi Nu... do you intend to stop me?"
Bai Shi Nu shook her head, "The one who killed Tang Chi is of use to me. I will question him first, then you may deal with him as you see fit. Can you give me three days, Fellow Daoist Feng Tu?"
Feng Tu frowned...
Bai Shi Nu did not waste words, directly taking out a broken sword from her embrace and tossing it over, "This is a weapon close to a Saintly artifact, a Semi-Saint weapon called 'Abi', born from the blood sea of Pan Gu's placentae, bearing the stature of a Saintly weapon. What's important is that it embodies the path of slaughter and extinction. Without it, your Seven-Star bloodline will inevitably take a much longer detour to truly rule the Pan Gu World. I offer it in exchange for three days' time, what do you say?"
Feng Tu looked at the broken sword in his hands in surprise, feeling the endless desire to kill and unwillingness contained within it, he could even feel a hint of Saint's blood within the sword!
Stunned, he looked at Bai Shi Nu, "It's stained with Holy Blood?"
Bai Shi Nu nodded, "Its former master was a madman. He fought a Saint, managed to draw his blood but died deep within the starry sky."
Feng Tu drew a sharp breath. Saints were immortal and eternal, their flesh nigh indestructible.
Only a being of the same stature as a Saint, wielding a Saintly weapon, could leave the Pan Gu World and enter Chaos to be killed.
And yet, this madman had injured a Saint within the Pan Gu World...
This weapon...
"Deal!" Feng Tu almost did not hesitate, immediately nodding in agreement.
Bai Shi Nu, not one for idle chatter, dropped a farewell and turned to leave!
Their conversation did not echo through space, hence the people on Earth were uninformed about the terrifying content of their exchange.
However, there were some astute individuals, experts in lip-reading, who through telescopes, deciphered the shocking dialogue between the two!
They only had three days left!
Although angered by the way these two casually determined their own fate, and even that of the entire Blue Planet, they were helpless...
What could they do in three days?
They seemed unable to do anything!
At that moment, someone whispered, "That monk... perhaps he can save us!"
This sentence was like an enlightening dharma talk, akin to a lifesaving straw!
They no longer cared who that monk was or whether he could save them. In a flash, leaders from countries all over the world had reached a consensus - they must find the monk to save their lives!
Just as the national machinery of various countries around the world was frantically operating, with all hands on deck and no stone left unturned...
Tang Sanzang slowly withdrew his gaze, smacking his lips, "Just passing by?"
He had only sensed the arrival of powerful beings and even a brief battle, but as for what specifically happened, he was not clear.
Zhu Ganglie, despite his powerful Divine Sense, couldn't be bothered to think or look further since his master was nearby.
As for Tang Caiyi, she had keenly detected a trace of danger which then disappeared shortly after, so she was even less likely to care.
"Sir, shall we continue?" Director Jiang asked.
Tang Sanzang shook his head, "No more talking, just give me the material, I'll read it myself!"
Director Jiang, though somewhat disappointed, still respectfully retrieved the materials and handed them to Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang took the items, flipping through the books while holding the child and riding the wild boar out of the police station...
With his power, of course, he could easily rob money.
And robbery, for Tang Sanzang, held no psychological barriers whatsoever.
His only barrier was that he was not interested in bullying the weak!
If he were to rob, it would only be interesting to target those who seemed tougher.
Therefore, he did not plan on robbing, but rather to earn money by adhering to the order of this world, which was a pleasure in itself.
Just then, in a teahouse by the road, a woman slowly lifted her head, her eyes instantly locking onto the large wild boar beneath Tang Sanzang!
Strangely, despite Zhu Ganglie's strength and keen perception, he hadn't noticed anything amiss and continued yawning and walking forward. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
The woman in white was none other than Baishi, who had returned.
Unlike Tang Sanzang, the newcomer, she had roamed this part of the starry sky for many years and was completely familiar with life on Blue Star, seamlessly blending in.
She had thought that her target, Zhu Ganglie, would hide away and that it would take some effort to find him.
After all, the cultivators of this world were now skittish as scared birds- after killing the disciples of numerous Saints, who would dare wander carelessly?
However, to her astonishment, the other party had not hidden at all but was instead strolling through the streets!
"Utterly oblivious to death..." Baishi internally remarked on Zhu Ganglie, and then cautiously glanced at the bald man reading on the pig's back.
However, even though that bald head was shiny, she ignored it and instead focused intently on the little girl in the bald man's arms!
She took out a feather from her bosom that was glowing...
Shocked and ecstatic, Baishi murmured, "Holy Embryo!"
In her wildest dreams, she had not anticipated that the Holy Embryo would appear so effortlessly before her, almost like a windfall from heaven!
But then she collected her Qi Force, warily scanning the surroundings.
She was well aware that each Holy Embryo's seemingly random reincarnation was, in fact, a consequence of countless potential outcomes and conclusions considered by the Saints in their final moments before death.
Their reincarnations were very particular, surely protected by powerful beings or difficult to be discovered.
Having found it so easily now meant that powerful forces must be safeguarding her; otherwise, she could not have appeared here!
With this in mind, she looked towards the large wild boar but then shook her head; she had seen this wild boar's methods in Chen Wei's memories. Though somewhat clever and with moderately decent strength, it ultimately did not impress her.
If not the wild boar, could it be the bald man?
