Chapter 192 Dream
Chapter 192 Dream
The book "The Revelation of the Way of Heaven" is full of classic quotes, so come and find resonance.
The crows kept cawing outside.
He stood quietly in the hall, like a sculpture.
Han Kexin had to tilt her head slightly to see his cold and stern face, which looked as if it had been carved by a knife. He was always expressionless and always ruthless.
"Have you made up your mind?" she asked.
The other person remained silent, like a statue.
"I know no one can change your mind once you've made up your mind, but you promised my sister you would always take care of me and Xiaoying," Han Kexin said somewhat angrily.
The "sculpture" finally lowered its eyelids. It glanced at Han Kexin's angry face and said softly, "Kexin, you've grown up."
"Am I as pretty as my sister now?" Han Kexin asked with a grin.
He looked intently at her face and said, "You're prettier than your sister."
"Can you stay?" Han Kexin looked at him expectantly, "For my... sister and Xiaoying."
The man raised his face again, his gaze passing through the doorway to the black night sky outside the hall. His eyes were pitch black, and after a long while, he slowly uttered two words, "No."
"Xiao Yan!" Han Kexin shouted, her eyes red and her face full of sorrow as she looked at the man in front of her. She said coldly, "If my sister were here, would you stay for her?"
"She's gone. She left us a long time ago," Xiao Yan said calmly, taking a step towards the outside of the hall. The hall was located in mid-air, and outside the hall was the reception platform, beyond which lay endless dark void.
"If you leave, I'll die right now!" Han Kexin exclaimed excitedly. She stretched out her right hand, revealing a square Jade of Inspiration lying in her palm. She said coldly, "You promised me that if I were in danger, no matter when or where, as long as I took out this Jade of Inspiration, you would come to save me. You can't break your promise."
Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks. He extended his right hand, and a cloud of black mist appeared in his palm, transforming into a black bat. The bat's claws clutched the Blood Witch Clan's sacred relic—the Witch Ring—which he always carried on his hand. The bat flew to Han Kexin with the Witch Ring in its arms, and the man's deep voice followed, "Kexin, this time we need you to protect them. Consider this my request to you."
"You can't do whatever you want!" Han Kexin shouted, but the man had already walked to the welcoming platform. She felt her heart jump into her throat. At that moment, she seemed to forget everything, with only one thought in her mind: to stop this man no matter what. She rushed towards the welcoming platform with all her might, but the man let his body fall into the endless void. She only had time to grab a piece of clothing.
"You bastard!" She jumped down almost without thinking.
Crows cackled and swarmed toward her from all directions.
She woke up, tears streaming down her face, leaving only two faint tear tracks.
Unable to fall asleep, she stared at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting back to a long, long time ago, so long that she thought she had almost forgotten.
"Coo coo." It seemed like birds were chirping coming from the balcony.
Han Kexin got out of bed and went to the balcony. A dove was perched on the balcony railing, cooing incessantly. When it saw Han Kexin, it tilted its head and looked her up and down.
Han Kexin immediately noticed the note tied to the dove's leg. She grabbed the dove, took the note off, and found an address written on it. However, the signature on the note was a bird-shaped pattern.
She had seen this pattern before.

"Exploding Flame Dance!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a huge bluish-white fireball crashed into a mecha and exploded. This was a skill he had modified with Samadhi True Fire, and its power was extraordinary.
"Boom!" The enormous energy instantly blasted the mecha into a pile of scrap metal, and the explosion even sent the surrounding men in black flying.
"Shiyi, now's the time." Qin Xiaochuan said as he grabbed Kun Ge, who was tied up with vines beside him, and rushed toward the gap created by the Blazing Dance. Guo Shiyi followed closely behind.
The two were no longer the same as when they participated in the Asian Superpower Competition. After so much training and combat, Guo Shiyi's strength had reached the peak of level 6, while Qin Xiaochuan could also skillfully use true fire. The power of the skills he used to unleash with true fire had increased by more than one level.
Moreover, the two had mastered their skills and used their spiritual power to a high degree, and their teamwork was also excellent. So, despite the large number of enemies, the two coordinated well and used the terrain to their advantage, leaving the enemy with no way to deal with them for the time being.
Despite this, the enemy's strength far exceeded their expectations. Every time they tried to break through, two mech hounds would quickly flank them from the side. These mech hounds were not only very fast and had extremely high defense, but also had sharp alloy teeth and could breathe high-temperature flames, making them very difficult to deal with.
One of the mech hounds even pounced on Qin Xiaochuan when he wasn't paying attention. Just as Qin Xiaochuan was trying to break free, the hound suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a jet of high-temperature flames at Qin Xiaochuan's head. Fortunately, Qin Xiaochuan turned his head in time, and the flames grazed his face. Even so, Qin Xiaochuan could still smell the burnt smell of his hair.
"Whoosh!" With a whooshing sound, a mecha man wielding a battle sword slashed vertically at Qin Xiaochuan. Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and raise his Xuanwu Shield to meet the attack.
"Bang!" A metallic clang rang in his ears. Qin Xiaochuan used the force to quickly retreat. At that moment, a lightning bolt was coming from his side. He was in mid-air and could not dodge in time. Just then, a wooden shield suddenly appeared in front of the lightning bolt and blocked the attack.
"Shiyi, let's go downstairs!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted as soon as he escaped danger. In fact, this was the fifth time they had fought their way up from downstairs to upstairs and then been forced to retreat downstairs, because only in this way could they make full use of the terrain to maneuver against the enemy.
Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Guo Shiyi immediately unleashed her skill, and two vines sprouted from the floor beneath her feet. Just as the two of them were pulling themselves down from the upper floor, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
He looked up and saw four mech dogs staring intently at the two of them. It seemed that the other side had figured out their battle strategy and had sent these mech dogs to lie in wait for them.
"Not good, run!" Qin Xiaochuan said without hesitation. At the same time, he quickly formed hand seals, and a Explosive Flame Dance exploded in front of them, blowing away the mecha dog that was blocking their way.
"Dance of Thorns." Guo Shiyi also released a skill at the same time, and countless thorns grew from all around, controlling the remaining three mech dogs.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi quickly ran out of the building. Just as they took a few steps, a flame burned the thorns behind them to ashes, and several mecha dogs immediately chased after them.
Besides a few mecha dogs, several other mecha warriors also rushed over at this moment, surrounding the two from all sides. After such a long battle, the two had exhausted most of their physical and spiritual energy. If it weren't for the existence of the Witch Ring, Qin Xiaochuan wouldn't even be able to unleash a few skills. However, the enemies continued to surround the two.
"It seems there's really no way to escape this time," Guo Shiyi said dejectedly.
"Instead of wasting our spiritual energy here, let's run out together. Try not to use any more skills from now on and save your spiritual energy. I'll handle these pursuers," Qin Xiaochuan comforted him.
"Can you manage on your own?" Guo Shiyi asked as she ran.
"Don't worry, my biggest advantage is my abundant spiritual energy. Have you ever seen me lack spiritual energy?"
"That's really strange of you. Why do you have so much spiritual power?" Guo Shiyi said with dissatisfaction.
"That's a secret, you know. Just know I'm very strong." Qin Xiaochuan said confidently with a smile, as he quickly released an Eight-Part Fire Wall Formation behind him to block the enemy's pursuit.
"Tch." Guo Shiyi turned her head away and ignored him.
As Qin Xiaochuan watched her retreating figure, his heart was filled with strength, and he couldn't help but say, "Shiyi, don't worry, I will protect you no matter what."
Guo Shiyi turned her head and smiled happily at him, but then her expression changed and she said, "Watch out behind you."
Qin Xiaochuan sensed danger at this moment. Before he could turn around, the Xuanwu Shield was already raised in front of him. When he turned around, he found that several Thunderstorm Bullets were being fired at him at the same time.
"Boom!" The enormous impact instantly sent Qin Xiaochuan flying. Even with the protection of the Qilin Armor, Qin Xiaochuan still felt half of his body go numb from the shockwave.
In that short moment, the mecha warriors and mecha dogs rushed over and surrounded Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi.
