Chapter 198 - 187: Cold White Ghost; Warm Words Confounding the Crown Prince
In the dark night, both Xie Lian's pupils instantly shrank to two extremely small dots, and his voice trembled, "...It's you?!"
White No-Face!
Hairs on Xie Lian's back rose and he leapt to his feet, grabbing for his sword but there was nothing, and only then did he remember he pawned all of his swords. Even that branch he took for a weapon earlier was broken. Which meant, he was facing this creature with neither spiritual power nor weapons!
A few years ago when XianLe fell, White No-Face disappeared from the world. Xie Lian never bothered to search for him, and never thought of searching for him, only praying that he would just so soundlessly never appear again, yet who knew this creature would suddenly appear before him!
That white clothed figure approached languidly, and Xie Lian felt a sudden chill and couldn't help but back away a couple steps, yet he immediately snapped to: no backing away! Even fleeing was pointless!
He cried sharply, "WHAT DO YOU WANT??"
White No-Face didn't answer, and continued to come closer with hands at his sides. Xie Lian was shaking from his feet to his hands, and even the white puffs of air from his lips seemed to be trembling.
He forced himself to recall the jeers, the indifference, and the mocking laughter of those thirty some heavenly officials, and Mu Qing who'd turned his face away, and all of a sudden, he forgot his fear as he shouted and struck out with a hand chop.
However, before that hand even chopped, there was an excruciating pain. The other party actually predicted Xie Lian's move and was a step faster, flashing behind his back and kicked the hollow of his knee!
Too fast!
Xie Lian's knees dropped heavily to the ground, and only then did a terrifying thought enter his mind.
