Chapter 218: Worried about me?
Lars's eyes narrowed at Rowen's words. Gritting his teeth. He plugged out the orange bead from his forehead and took it in his right hand. "You have troubled us enough, I should have listened to my sister previously and killed you the moment I see you. This is the end."
Rowen looked at him and stopped walking forward. 'From the energy coming out of that Orange pearl, if this guy completely uses it then he will die.' Rowen then raised his hand and pointed at Lars, "So you will suicide to save your sister?"
Lars chuckled, "This is not a suicide, because I never give up. This is just a sacrifice I have to make to get rid of evil being like you. I would be doing this whole world a favour."
Rowen also laughed at his words and then clenched his raised palm. "This is not your time to be a hero, because I want you to witness your dear sister getting defiled by me. Hahaha..."
Lars raised his brows at Rowen's words, he felt something was wrong and quickly decided to break the Orange Pearl so he could finish both himself and Rowen by the blast that will happen when this pearl is broken.
However, before he could break the pearl, his surroundings turned completely black and a red sea formed below his legs. And with just a flick of Rowen's finger, a large red thorn sparked out off the blood pool and embedded itself in his wrist.
"Ahh...!" Due to the sudden attack, Lars dropped the pearl in the blood below and just as he did so, his eyes widened in terror, as that pearl was the only chance he has against this monster.
Desperately removing his hand away from the thorn he kneeled in the blood pool and started searching for that pearl. "Where is it? Where is it?..." He moved his hands all around, however, he didn't find anything.
Rowen smiled looking at him. "By any chance, are you searching for this?"
Lars looked up, listening to his voice, he tilted his head up and when he saw the orange pearl in Rowen's hand, he got even more sacred. He knew the potential of that pearl. And he was not scared for his own life, but about the things, this monster will do with his sister.
'I have to take that pearl back and kill this demonic being.' Clenching his teeth, he circulated his qi to his whole body and jumped furiously towards Rowen.
'Nice...' Rowen thought, and his eyes narrowed in a smile.
Just when Lars was about to reach the pearl, his body suddenly stopped mid-air. His brows furrowed, as he looked back, there was a blood-red hand sprouting from the pool below that has caught his leg before he could reach Rowen.
'What is this?' Before he could get his answers, the red hand, threw his body backwards. 'So powerful...' His face contorted as he was unable to stop his body from moving backwards.
"This is the tomb of the red death. Everything here goes my way." Rowen laughed and then disappeared, he then suddenly appeared behind Lars and punched him in the face, bringing his body down in the red blood with a crash.
"Ahh... You monster..." Before Lars could say anything, a red knife came out of the blood pool and sliced his tongue.
......
Lulu sat down and looked below the mountain, she couldn't see any of them as a black dome has suddenly appeared on the fighting ground. "I hope brother is ok." She joined both of her hands and started praying for her brother there were tears in her eyes.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have offended that monster. I have to save brother." She stood up while gulping her saliva.
Placing her hand over her chest she nodded. 'I can't see anything from here, I should go a bit near.' She was anxious about her brother's safety. However, before she could move even one more step, she spotted a black dot flying towards her in the sky.
Narrowing her eyes, she focused on the black dot and in just a few seconds she could identify the flying man. "Brother..." She smiled and even a proud expression appeared on her face. Letting out a deep breath her body finally relaxed.
She could spot her brother flying towards her while carrying that monster by his leg, blood was flowing out of that guy's mouth and there was also a wound on his dantian. 'Brother finally defeated this arrogant bastard.'
Soon enough, Lars landed on the ground, and looked at his sister, he then threw Rowen's body on a rock a few meters away.
Just as Lars threw Rowen away, Lulu jumped and hugged him. "Brother, I was worried for you." She started sobbing in his embrace.
Lars smiled at her words and patted her head. "You were worried for me?"
She looked at him with glistening eyes and nodded, "I am sorry for putting you in danger."
"Danger? That guy was nothing but a pest. I had to eliminate him so that this world live in peace. After all, this is what we righteous cultivators do isn't it?"
Lulu nodded again at his words and then with a slight smile moved back from his embrace, she then looked at the guy laying in a corner, blood flowing out of his mouth, he was looking at both of them with his eyes wide. It was like he wanted to say something desperately, however, couldn't.
"He is alive..." Lulu frowned.
Lars placed his hand over her shoulder and moved his mouth near her ear. "Sister, I didn't kill him because he humiliated you. I wanted you to punish him."
Lulu suddenly felt his warm breath near her face and instinctively shivered, she then moved a little back. "Brother, I don't what to waste any more time with this guy. Let's just kill him and go back home. I have had enough for today."
Lars looked at her moving back from him and smiled, he then looked at the sky, the sun was about to fall and a red hue was already covering the firmament. "I think we should camp here tonight, as night will be soon upon us and I have exhausted most of my Qi fighting with this demon, I don't think any of us have enough energy to continue."
Hesitation appeared on Lulu's face, listening to her brother, however, in the end, she let out a sigh and nodded, "Ok let me set some tents," she said and was about to move, however, Lars's hand moved on her shoulder to stop her.
"No need to set up many tents, we can sleep in the same one," He said with a smile.
Lulu raised her brows at his words.
"I almost lost you today, If I hadn't left you alone with this guy, then you would have never suffered this much, that is the reason why I want to spend some time with you." He then moved closer and hugged her tightly. "I am sorry..."
Lulu suddenly felt his warmth, and her eyes widened in surprise. She has never seen her brother behaving like this, 'He has changed a little after today's incident.'
Although she knew that her brother cared about her, however, he has always been cold and distant, he protected her all the times and that was his way of showing his love, however, today he was being vulnerable.
'Is it because I almost sacrificed myself by burning my blood.' A smile formed on her face, as she felt his hug. She also moved her hand around his back and rested her head on his chest. "Brother I am sorry for making you worried, I promise that I will never put my life at risk anymore."
Lars moved his hand from her back and while moving away, his hands rested on Lulu's ass for a few second and then moved away. However, this little action sent a shiver down Lulu's spine.
She moved her head up and looked at him, however, seeing no malice on his face she relaxed, it must have been an accident. Her face then turned red. 'Oh my God! What am I thinking? He is my brother. He can never do something like that to me.' She thought and then her heart started beating very fast.
From the time she was a kid, her big brother has been cold to her, however, he has also protected and supported her at every step. While she moved back to set up a tent her eyes landed on her brother's face and seeing him smiling, she also smiled, it has been quite some time since she has seen him smile.
After their father died, Lars was the one that took the responsibility for the whole family, and after that time he stopped smiling, he just always worked and trained hard, to reach the place he was at currently. And it was because of him risking his life to find the Bead of Life, that she was able to cultivate this far.
She never thought that they would be this powerful in her life. And it is all because of her brother.
Her eyes then landed on the monster that was laying in the corner. He was struggling to move and was making muffled voices, he was trying to tell her something.
"No matter how much you try, your destiny is to die now." She said and moved ahead with a snort.
