Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 163 - Brief Battle (Pt 2)

She appeared to save her senior apprentice-sister and took on the disciple here to achieve that.

Her expression was icy and her killing intent flared as she brandished her sword to cut him down.

****

Shock and alarm were evident on the disciple’s face and it fuelled his rampant actions even more! Unfortunately, Shen Ling couldn’t get close enough to wound him and it placed each of them at a standstill of sorts.

It was then that Huise Chongtu realised that his disciple’s eyes were covered by some sort of black film and it obscured his vision.

Shen Ling figured that the reason why her abilities were less effective on the disciple was that, for one, his cultivation was much higher than hers, and two, unlike Diqiu Jian, who was weakened both physically and mentally, this demon was still strong.

As a result, though he couldn’t see, she couldn’t really drag his mind that far into the abyss. With this, he only suffered from, for lack of a better word, ‘blindness.’

Shu!

His other disciple just appeared out of nowhere and was shocked to see his apprentice brother beset by a girl with only one cauldron.

Shu!

Huise Chongtu was ecstatic to see his other disciple arrive so quickly. “Take the girl from him! If she is what we think she is and we lose her, we won’t escape death! She’s even more important than the matter with the other one!”

“Elder Huise Chongtu, I-I can save him first!” yelled the demon that just arrived.

“J-Just take her and go!” his blind partner yelled back.

As soon as he said this, the disciple that was struggling with Shen Ling threw Feng Yu towards his apprentice-brother and the latter caught her before looking back at his apprentice-brother with a complicated expression.

“Just go! She can’t kill me!”

“Senior apprentice-sister!” Shen Ling rushed towards this new arrival and her eyes dimmed once more, causing the demon’s vision to darken as well.

Fear welled up in his heart and he sprinted off with Feng Yu in an instant.

“Great!” Huise Chongtu was ecstatic to see this before his ears picked up the sound of a robe flapping in the wind and his gaze turned upwards to see Long Di coming down on him with the bronze sabre overhead!

The runes on his body glowed, and they increased his strength even more than before but for some reason, he couldn’t circulate his somatic essence as well as he would like to.

“Damn it!”

He fired off a punch towards Long Di’s blow as a form of defence!

Boom!

A mini shock-wave shook the surroundings and both Long Di and Huise Chongtu took several steps back.

Huise Chongtu looked at the second deep gash covering his arms and grimaced. The runes glowed ever brighter with this and the pressure he gave off increased, but he wasn’t happy in the slightest.

Long Di stared him down before commenting. “So you get stronger with each injury you suffer. I call hacks.”

Huise Chongtu was angry because the blows that Long Di levied were accompanied by sabre intent, and it interfered with his otherwise notable self-healing, something that body cultivators excelled at.

Barring the first sabre strike that landed on him, he purposefully allowed the other blows to land on him, albeit not too deeply, so his strength could increase.

After all, his cultivation base was higher than Long Di’s so his speed should be greater than the latter as well but not even that was the case.

He then looked at Long Di’s cauldrons.

‘What are those things!? What grade are they!? Are they special-grade!?’

He had to make sure not to suffer too grievous an injury since sabre intent’s destructive capabilities were too dangerous.

Still, with that in mind, he suffered another blow from Long Di, which landed him in an even more precarious situation despite the increase in strength!

He appeared to be going through some internal struggles before he made up his mind. He then looked at Long Di with extreme annoyance and a hint of despondence.

“How about we end this here?”

“What?” Long Di couldn’t believe what he was hearing. This demon was going to give up?

“I already told my disciple to escape with your friend. In addition, even though I should kill you, I can consider letting you off if you tell your other friend to undo what she did to my disciple,” stated Huise Chongtu.

Long Di was nearly speechless, only nearly. This Huise Chongtu was asking him to stop the fight and yet he somehow made it sound like he was doing Long Di a favour.

“Okay, fine, let’s stop here then,” Long Di lowered the bronze sabre.

Huise Chongtu smirked, as this was the outcome he foresaw. He would wait until the female demon dispelled whatever she did to his disciple, and then he would work with him to take her out in an instant before double-teaming Long Di.

“Hm?” he realised that the girl had no intention of lifting her spell or whatever. Instead, she was on him even fiercer than before!

“Hey!” He turned to Long Di. “Tell your friend to—”

Shu!

Because of the drop in his speed and everything else, Long Di was able to close the distance in an instant!

“Y-You tricked me!” he shouted in realisation.

Long Di only responded with. “To be fair, I did stop there to prepare myself. Earth Severance.”

Shing!

The sabre hummed as crackling lightning and sabre intent suffused its blade before crashing down on Huise Chongtu!

Pu Ci!

The sabre cleaved through his body from his head to his crotch. His eyes were wide open even in the moments of his death, but eventually, darkness overtook him and he was no more.

There it was, Huise Chongtu was bisected and just like that, the elder of Nether Immolation War Temple’s enforcement hall was killed.

Long Di looked to the side and saw that the disciple wasn’t injured due to Shen Ling’s weak cultivation, so he made a move.

Pu Ci!

A head flew through the air, followed by a geyser of blood following his swing.

“Long Di! The other person took Feng Yu—”

“I know!” Long Di tried his best to calm her down.

“Find Jia Yan, Xiannu Liang and Yaomu Shou and stay here. Don’t worry I will save her. Use the casting cauldron pills and grow stronger so you can help more than you can right now. Your levels are still too low for what comes next.”

“W-What about Zi Yu? A-And I don’t even know where they are!” all this was happening too fast and Long Di wasn’t explaining much.

“Oh yeah,” remembering that she didn’t have her own mark on them, he came back and placed his face incredibly close to hers, eliciting a blush in response.

“Focus,” his voice woke her up from whatever delusion she was under.

“S-Sorry!”

“It’s fine. I don’t have any techniques on me that I can use to do this, so touch my foreheads with yours.”

Following his direction, her forehead touched his and a blurry vision of where Jia Yan, Xiannu Liang and Yaomu Shou appeared.

Now she had a point of reference she could use to find them.

“Yaomu Shou is the safest of everyone here, so you don’t have to place too much concern there, but get to her all the same, since I don’t believe she was unprepared for whatever it is that is affecting the rest of them. Take the storage rings and the mask off the corpses before you go look for them. Something tells me that’s why they could remain unaffected here,” saying nothing more, Long Di started to leave.

Shen Ling made a mental checklist in her head before a certain thought occurred to her, “W-Wait, you still haven’t shown me where Zi Yu is!”

Long Di didn’t turn around, but he still answered. “She’s been taken to Nether Immolation War Temple to answer for her crimes of mutilating one of their disciples.”
