Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 28

The vitality of cultivators is indeed tenacious.

Even with only a single head left, the head covered in frost, and only a remnant of Spirit Soul remaining, Mu Chenxi was still alive.

She stubbornly clung to life, barely surviving.

At this moment, she used all her remaining Spiritual Power to maintain this last thread of life, unable to move at all.

Master was dead, and the Fire Demon had left.

She could only lie quietly on this cold land, waiting for her head to slowly decay, waiting for death to arrive.

This process was excruciating, but she still wanted to live. The chance for her consciousness to descend was precious, and time was running out. She wanted to search for that faint glimmer of hope.

Time passed second by second; every second was torture for Mu Chenxi.

Her Spirit Soul was constantly dissipating. She was almost at her limit, yet she managed to endure for a whole day and night.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky-the Fire Demon had returned.

Judging by its furious and crazed appearance, it was clear that it had gained nothing in its pursuit of the light.

When it saw that Mu Chenxi was not completely dead, a trace of surprise flashed in its eyes. Then, with a sinister grin, it prepared to vent all its rage on this stubborn little bug.

“To have survived a blow from me, you have reason to be proud.”

A scorching flame gathered in the Fire Demon’s palm, ready to blast Mu Chenxi’s head into dust.

Mu Chenxi stared angrily at the Fire Demon, her gaze showing neither pleading nor fear.

Facing the flames that could utterly destroy her, she did not even blink.

Just as Mu Chenxi thought she was doomed, the turning point she had hoped for actually appeared.

A streak of blood-red light tore through the sky and arrived in an instant!

That blood light carried a familiar feeling that made her heart tremble.

In her blurred consciousness, Mu Chenxi saw clearly that the newcomer was Yan Hua!

Yan Hua seemed to be using some kind of Escape Technique. She was drenched in blood, her outer skin completely gone, revealing writhing flesh beneath. Her face was so mangled it was unrecognizable.

But that familiar attire, petite figure, and the terrifying, heart-palpitating aura-

Mu Chenxi was certain beyond doubt: this was her little Senior Sister, Yan Hua.

Yan Hua did not spare Mu Chenxi a glance. The flesh on her body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, tender skin regrowing anew.

She rushed to the place where Bai Yue had died. Her crimson eyes were hollow and deep, as if her soul had been lost.

The Fire Demon also noticed this uninvited guest, and felt threatened by her astonishing speed.

The fireball originally aimed at Mu Chenxi instantly changed direction and shot toward Yan Hua.

Yan Hua ignored the incoming fireball. Her gaze fell on the ashes that Bai Yue had become, and she seemed to understand everything in an instant.

Her crimson hair turned pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes became an unfathomable, bottomless black.

A terrifying aura, mixed with savagery and madness, intent on destroying everything, erupted from her small body!

The terror of this aura was far beyond anything the Fire Demon could compare to.

Even Mu Chenxi’s remaining Spirit Soul nearly collapsed under the impact of this aura.

In the next moment, Yan Hua’s figure vanished from where she stood.

Under the Fire Demon’s horrified four-eyed gaze, a tiny fist, moving at a speed it could not follow, smashed into its head.

Bang!

The Fire Demon’s entire body exploded like an overripe watermelon, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Even its Spirit Soul was instantly crushed by that terrifying power.

Yan Hua knelt once more before the ashes that Bai Yue had become, softly calling out, “Master… Master… Master…”
Her voice was soft and weak, just like an ordinary little girl. It was hard to believe that she was the one who had just punched the Fire Demon to pieces.

But those hollow, pitch-black eyes, along with the eerie aura she emitted, proved the reality before their eyes.

“Master~ Master~ Master~”

Yan Hua seemed broken. Her tone grew even sweeter, as if she were acting spoiled, but the one she was acting spoiled toward was Bai Yue’s ashes.

Her eyes no longer had any whites, having turned into completely black, uncanny pupils.

Then, Yan Hua carefully scooped up the ashes and dirt from the ground, handful by handful, and frantically stuffed them into her mouth.

Seeing this, Mu Chenxi felt her scalp tingle, a chill shooting up her remaining spine to the crown of her head.

She wanted to speak out and stop her, but she was too weak to make a sound. She could only watch helplessly as Yan Hua devoured the last traces of Master left in this world.

After finishing the ashes, Yan Hua finally shifted her attention to Mu Chenxi.

Those hollow, pitch-black eyes stared over, making Mu Chenxi feel as if she were being gazed at by an abyss.

Yan Hua staggered to her feet, like a walking corpse, and slowly walked up to Mu Chenxi’s head.

She reached out her small hand and grabbed Chenxi’s head.

“What exactly happened?” Yan Hua asked.

Mu Chenxi wanted to answer, but she was already on the verge of death, unable to speak or communicate with her Spirit Soul. She could only look at Yan Hua powerlessly.

It seemed Yan Hua wasn’t really asking. Her pitch-black eyes narrowed, and a tyrannical force directly dragged Mu Chenxi’s remaining Spirit Soul into her Sea of Consciousness!

As soon as Mu Chenxi’s Spirit Soul entered, she saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

That sea of blood was filled with Yan Hua’s own dismembered limbs and flesh.

Mu Chenxi felt a chill in her heart. She couldn’t understand why Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness was so terrifying.

Was she friend or foe?

Could it be that she, too, had been lurking by Master’s side all this time for the sake of Master’s power?

Before Mu Chenxi could think further, Yan Hua’s consciousness pierced into her Spirit Soul like a sharp spike, violently invading.

This savage method was nothing like a proper Soul Search Technique. It was more like a purely chaotic intrusion.

Only a madman would do such a thing, because it could easily cause both parties’ memories to mix and drive them both insane.

Fortunately-or unfortunately-under this chaotic assault, Mu Chenxi’s already fragile Spirit Soul couldn’t hold on for even a moment and completely collapsed.

……

“Huff… huff…”

Mu Chenxi suddenly opened her eyes, her chest heaving violently as she gasped for breath, her whole body drenched in cold sweat.

Facing Yan Hua like that, the shock and psychological pressure were simply too much for her.

Bai Yue hurriedly pulled her into an embrace, gently stroking her back, her own eyes filled with alarm.

This time, just what kind of terrifying future had Chenxi seen?

It took Mu Chenxi a while to calm her emotions, but her eyes gradually brightened.

At last, things had taken a turn for the better. She hadn’t expected their chance at survival to lie with Yan Hua.

This Yan Hua, whom Master had always regarded as an ordinary little girl, had actually killed their enemy with a single punch.

“Master, I’ve found a way for us to survive!” Mu Chenxi turned around excitedly.

“What way?” Bai Yue, hearing the good news, quickly asked.

“The way is…”

Mu Chenxi hesitated. She felt she couldn’t explain it clearly, but when she tried to use her Spiritual Sense to convey what she had seen, she felt that it might frighten Master out of her wits.
