Chapter 1490 “The Sky’s Might (3)”
“Have we met before?” Bai Yan asks the huge bird shielding herself with furrowed confusion. She doesn’t know why either, but the lady here got this strange sensation that they know each other from somewhere.
As if to answer that question, Winger’s dreadful looking face showed a reaction in the form of opening those tightly shut eyes. He doesn’t know if Bai Yan here was the same person from back then in that dark place, but he does know one thing, the warmth he felt, he’s feeling it right here from this person. That’s all he needs to know, that flicker of warmth keeping him going all those years ago has returned.
“Are you alright?” Bai Yan asks again, her voice growing emotional for reasons unknown to herself.
No words came though from the bird.
Make no mistake, Winger should’ve been down and at his last legs before, Dragon Flame and the rest was sure of it. However, he stood back up out of sheer will, that’s the determination he had in protecting the light in his heart.
Bai Yan’s expression changed after realizing what’s going to happen to her savior. Trying hard to push the huge bird aside so the lightning wouldn’t hit him anymore: “Let go of me! If you continue like this then even your soul will perish!”
She still doesn’t know who Winger was, but in her previous life too many have sacrificed themselves for her. Allowing more in this life went against everything she stands for.
Despite the plea, the huge bird didn’t budge. Not because Winger didn’t want to of course, rather it’s due to his draining life force. Merely opening those eyes were all he could muster in his current state, let alone budge his huge body.
“You let go, I’m ordering you to let go!” At this point Bai Yan’s voice had started to tremble with pain, which manifested in the form of flowing tears that she didn’t thought would come.
……
Not far away, Yun Ruo Xi was taking this all in with begrudging hatred. She’s jealous, venomously jealous at the way the bird was protecting her arch nemesis.
Why didn’t Winger offer to die for me when he followed me? Why is he willing to die for that bitch instead of me?!
If I had known this Winger will betray me then I would’ve tortured the bastard to death. Now it’s all benefiting that bitch Bai Yan!
Just when the venomous witch wanted to do something out of frustration, Bai Yan’s roaring laugh suddenly cuts her off. There are tears mixed in with that laughter, but more were leaning towards a sort of dismissing arrogance at the world.
“I don’t care what you are or where you’re from, but I know one thing: you’re not a heavenly thunder! Go ahead and send it my way if you got the ability, I will show you that you’re nothing! I, Bai Yan, am not afraid of anyone! Whoever dares to hurt the people around me will pay sooner or later, I will slaughter you all!”
Bang!
After saying this taunt, Bai Yan found the strength to finally push the bird shielding herself aside so he doesn’t get caught in the crossfire. There’s proud light gleaming out of the lady’s eye, which showed how much of a contempt she had for the thunder above her head.
Sure enough, the looming clouds began to swirl and rumble even harder as if enraged by the mockery. There’s no one here who couldn’t feel the intensifying pressure in the air, that’s how much power was gathering for the next blow.
Despite the incredible scene taking place before their very eyes, not everyone was hypnotized on the lady. Keeper Zun here was one of the more aware of his surroundings when he turned to the old witch: “Ruo Xi, I remember you said you made a connection with the amulet a few days ago, didn’t you?”
“Uhh…” Sounding guilty in her voice, “only a little though, I can’t be sure if I can activate the amulet. Plus, I am now poisoned by the toxin inside my body, I’m afraid it will effect my ability to perform….”
