Chapter 45 Teach You an Unforgettable Lesson

Ronghua ordered the flame bird, “Give them a lesson that they will never forget. Tell them that not everyone can catch you.”

The flame bird rushed up to these arrows, with his wings fluttered and emitted flame to the arrows. The arrows with the fire slowed down, but there were still many arrows rushing to them.

Xia Pumo had a sense of crisis, “Ronghua!”

Ronghua came to her senses and saw the arrows about to penetrate through her body!

The flame bird folded his wing and swirled. With the flame wrapping his body, he flew through the arrows. Murong Zhe tightly held Xia Pumo, and they steadily sat on the flame bird.

It brought many troubles to Ronghua without spiritual power. She was dying to throw a beam of flame down, but she didn’t do it. Because she thought of Xia Pumo’s warning, if she did too much, it wouldn’t be better for her.

After getting rid of the arrows, Ronghua stood on the head of the flame bird. But Xia Pumo looked at her, shaking with fear. Ronghua was so terrifying that she could talk with you cheerfully and humorously but kill you the next second. Xia Pumo couldn’t understand what she was thinking and doing even though they had known each other for a long time!

Ronghua said to Xia Pumo, “Mo, do you know how to let others fear you?”

Xia Pumo felt awkward, “No, I don’t know.”

Ronghua lowered her head, with her blue eyes turning into blood red.

“Let them know your power so that they dare not come again.”

Ronghua fell as soon as she finished saying.

Xia Pumo shouted, “Ronghua!”

Murong Zhe pulled Xia Pumo, “She is burning her power.”

Xia Pumo turned back, “What?”

Murong Zhe didn’t see through Ronghua. She had no spiritual power but tried to protect them. “Ronghua has no power of her own. We resist these arrows just by depending on the flame bird. But…”

Murong Zhe paused, and Xia Pumo felt something horrible would happen, so he asked, “But what?”

Murong Zhe looked at Xia Pumo’s eyes, “Ronghua subdued the flame bird by her spiritual power just restored. Now she has no extra spiritual power!”

Xia Pumo was dumbfounded, “What are you saying?”

Ronghua fell rapidly. Seeing the arrows approaching her, she calmly stretched out her hand and grabbed one arrow, while other arrows flew away, brushing past her clothes.

With the fire of nothingness burning in her hand, the arrows became air instantly.

With her hands opened, the wind blew her white dress, making her elegant and beautiful.

Ronghua stayed still when seeing the arrows flying to the flame bird.

Ronghua continued falling, which frightened people on the ground because they didn’t expect that the owner of the flame bird was a woman.

Ronghua stopped falling. She stayed in the air and suddenly flew towards these arrows. There was no arrow in the place where she flew, for the flame in her hand had melted them.

Jianglian Shan was scared by Ronghua. What kind of person did he offend? He had a presentiment that his family had offended someone so horrible that the good times of the Jianglian Family would come to an end.

Ronghua looked at them calmly. No one could know what she was thinking.

She fell in front of the Jianglians.

Jianglian Shan looked at Ronghua, with some fear.

Ronghua looked at them, with her right hand turning into a sword. She pointed at them with her curved finger and smiled, “Come on.”

But they retreated in horror.

This sword must have killed many people.

Ronghua didn’t intend to use her sword, for her sword would kill people if it were unsheathed.

Jianglian Shan was scared, so he regretted listening to Jianglian Xuan’s words and provoking this woman. But he still looked straight at her eyes.

Her eyes made Jianglian Shan, who was over fifty years of age, scared.

However, Jianglian Shan slowly unsheathed his sword, for he couldn’t surrender in front of The Jianglians.

The two people were far away from each other. Ronghua just looked at him quietly, and then she smiled coldly, like a flower on the bank of the Wangchuan River— Manjusaka, beautiful but dangerous.

Her smile made him astounded. Moreover, all of them frozen.

She unsheathed her cold sword at the moment he came to his senses. Her sword had already passed him before he could react. Instantly, her sword turned to Jianglian Xuan.

“Xuan! Dodge.” Ronghua had rushed up to her before Jianglian Xuan could react. Ronghua waved her sword, making Jianglian Xuan have a sense of pressure. She couldn’t move at all, only shouting in her heart, “Uncle, save me!”

Jianglian Shan rapidly came to Ronghua, tiptoeing. Ronghua stabbed Jianglian Xuan with her sword, so she screamed, making these people sober.

However, even Jianglian Shan couldn’t save Jianglian Xuan. She would be injured severely or die after being stabbed by Ronghua’s sword.

Now that this woman was so ruthless, he wouldn’t be kind to her.

Jianglian Shan’s sword emitted the green light and made a fancy swing three times in the air, rushing up to Ronghua.

But this move had consumed all his spiritual power. This woman was so mighty, which meant that he couldn’t injure her at all if he didn’t use much power.

Ronghua just jumped slightly, as if a sparrow hawk flipped over. With one hand supporting on the ground and the other hand waving the sword, she easily resisted his power. After he took back his sword, Ronghua had been a hundred feet away.

Jianglian Shan was confused, “How did she come over?”

However, the cold light of her sword flashed in front of Jianglian Shan and Jianglian Xuan in a split second. Jianglian Hu shouted, “Uncle! Xuan!”

Jianglian Hu didn’t see anything and just felt there was something in his chest. He coughed and looked down, deep red blood flowing from his chest.

How did she make such rapid swordsmanship?

“Hu!”

“I’ll kill you.”

All the people rushed up to Ronghua. Jianglian Shan also came to Ronghua with his sword. Ronghua looked at him and held her sword.

The light of the two swords collided before they touched. The light of Ronghua’s sword swept the surrounding people away, like a dragon, and then rushed up to Jianglian Shan. With a sound ‘ding’, Jianglian Shan’s sword was shaken off his hand by the light of Ronghua’s sword.

He was astounded. It was the first time that he lost to a woman.

After the fog lifted, Jianglian Shan saw Ronghua point at him with her sword.

Jianglian Shan gasped for breath, but he didn’t give up, “You are great! I give in. Come on!”

Her voice reached to him, “If I don’t kill you, will you come to me?”

Jianglian Shan didn’t expect she would ask him this question. He looked at Ronghua, without any expression, “If you didn’t kill me, I would kill you!”

Ronghua shook her head, “Why do you attack us?”

Us?

Were there still some people on the flame bird?

Jianglian Shan stared at Ronghua and calmed down.

“We are just doing what we should do!”

Ronghua looked up at the two people sitting on the flame bird.

“You shouldn’t offend me.”

Jianglian Shan could say nothing more.

“You use some unpresentable means just to meet your selfish desire. These birds trapped by you lose their freedom. They would be caged for the whole life.”

Jianglian Shan stood up slowly, and he stared at Ronghua, “This is our tradition. We use this method to remain most of the offspring of birds so that they can exist. Is it wrong?”

Ronghua looked at him without any expression. What he talked about was nonsense. She made a beam of light of the sword to him.

Jianglian Shan was severely injured just now. Now he was hit by Ronghua again so that he couldn’t stand up.

Ronghua pointed at him, “What you have said is nonsense. The Race of Birds is noble. How could you cage them?”

Ronghua waved her sword. A voice appeared as soon as she was about to kill Jianglian Shan.

“Ronghua! Don’t kill him!”

Ronghua stopped, looking at Xia Pumo.

Ronghua took back her sword and asked, “Mo, why do you come down?”

Xia Pumo walked over and helped Jianglian Shan up.

Murong Zhe also came down. “Mo, why do you both come down?”

Xia Pumo said to Ronghua after helping Jianglian Shan up, “Ronghua, you can’t kill him!”

Ronghua thought it was ridiculous, “Don’t kill him? If I didn’t kill him, he would kill me. What do you think I should do?”

Xia Pumo said, “Ronghua.”

“Mo,” Ronghua interrupted him, “I am not noble-minded and good as you think. I never let off people who want to kill me. Maybe you haven’t seen it, but it doesn’t mean that I am so kind!”

Xia Pumo looked at Murong Zhe, but Murong Zhe also had no other way.

“Ronghua, they don’t understand what you have said!”

Ronghua looked at Xia Pumo silently. Xia Pumo knew that she would be softhearted as long as she could consider it.

Xia Pumo continued, “Ronghua, you don’t understand it. Humans are different from you. They prevent the attack of monsters only by depending on cultivation. Catching monsters is a survival way for them as if I have my zither. It is just a way to survive.”

Ronghua turned around. Her expression had proved whether she would let him go or not.

“Do you think I will let him off?”

Murong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, “If he dared hurt you next time, I wouldn’t stop you.”

Ronghua thought over and put away her sword.

“You can go!”

Jianglian Shan didn’t expect that she could let him off.

He stood up, summoned his mount, and helped Jianglian Xuan and Jianglian Hu up. They left, with those who hadn’t died!

After they left, Xia Pumo said, “Thank you, Ronghua!”

Ronghua looked at him, “Xia Pumo, don’t pray for my forgiveness in this way again. Because I may not promise you next time!”

Ronghua flew up to the flame bird with one palm hitting the ground.

Xia Pumo puckered his lips. Murong Zhe walked over, with one hand putting on his shoulder and the other hand touching his lips, “When do you become so talkative?”

His words sounded a little dissatisfied.

Xia Pumo looked sideways at him, “Elderly Gentleman Jianglian Shan was the only one who was willing to help me after I was driven out of my family.”

Murong Zhe was stunned and could understand why Xia Pumo did it.

Murong Zhe said, “Why do you offend Ronghua even though you want to repay an obligation?”

Xia Pumo puckered his lips, “After all, Ronghua is my friend.”

Murong Zhe looked up, “It’s not a wise choice to offend Ronghua.”

Xia Pumo replied, “But I won’t do anything against my will.”

Murong Zhe said, “You need to understand that Ronghua isn’t so kind. She won’t do anything meaningless, such as finding you. Because of you, she could find me, and then she would know everything about the Realm of Demons.”

Xia Pumo asked, “Does it work?”

Murong Zhe replied, “Of course. She has contracted with me. Moreover, I’ll be where you are. But she hasn’t given me a body yet. Do you think she can’t do it?”

Xia Pumo looked up to the person on the flame bird.

“Go ahead. We have something to do.”

Murong Zhe knew that Xia Pumo didn’t want to say anything, so he flew up, holding Xia Pumo.

Ronghua didn’t look back, “I have thought you both are unwilling to come up!”

Murong Zhe said immediately, “If we didn’t come up, we would have to walk there! I can’t do that. Besides, you can’t afford to wait!”

Ronghua said, “Humph, you are so glib-tongued. Be careful! Hold on to your hat!”
