“Come on!” came a shout from nearby.

“Damn! It’s a dead end ahead.”

“Move! Two monsters are coming this way!”

“I hope the binding scroll lasts for a bit more! Please let us get out of here before they break free!”

A long line of figures ran out, talking as they ran, the panic clear in their speed and voice.

“Damn! There’s no way out!”

The cliff successfully blocked the people who were running away from the two corpses.

“Fortunately I still have a flying scroll!”

Many took out their own scrolls, obviously intending to fly over.

“Stop! You shouldn’t do that unless you want to die!” Zo warned them.

“What are you doing kid! Blocking our escape! Those monsters are about to catch up!”

They shouted out their dissatisfaction at Zo’s figure blocking the way.

“There is a formation below the cliff.
If anyone tries to fly over using magic or qi, their powers will immediately be sealed and they’ll fall to their deaths!”

Zo wasn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t warn people of imminent danger.
Though the group hadn’t been friendly towards him, he had no interest in seeing them all die either.

“For real?!”

This was incredible information.
Though the group looked down on Zo for his almost non-existing strength, they didn’t dare take his warning lightly.

If he was lying, then it would be fine, but if he was telling the truth, then wouldn’t they be flying to their deaths?

Some were doubtful while some weren’t.
The believers immediately put down their scroll.

“You’re talking nonsense! I think the two of you can’t cross so you want the rest of us to die here with you.” Bisi came out to cause trouble again.
She wasn’t going to let a chance to provoke Feng Wu go to waste.

She looked down on Zo, any man who relied on a girl to protect him, of course she would.
She didn’t believe Zo.
The biggest reason was just that she didn’t believe anyone associated with Feng Wu.

“If you don’t believe me, then try launching a flight scroll.” Zo didn’t want to watch them die, but he wasn’t going stop anyone who wanted to rush to their deaths either.
Not to mention this woman was still trying to give them trouble.

Bisi shifted her eyes away.
She wanted to take her scroll out and hit him in the face with its success, but Zo looked so confident.
Could he be telling the truth? she wondered.

Activating a scroll and testing it out, she wasn’t going to take a risk like that herself.

The group looked at one another in dismay, uncertain about what to do.
A bold guy, who looked down on Zo, said, “I don’t believe.
I’m gonna try it.”

He took out a long rope and tied it to his waist just as everyone thought he would activate a scroll.
Then he walked to a large rock and tied the other end to it.

The safety measures made them blink.
Here they thought he was just a big, dumb guy.
Huh, apparently you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

So there was the guy, heroically activating his scroll.
Majestically launching himself off the cliff. . .  only to drop straight down into the precipice.

“Don’t just stare down, help me up!” came the man’s voice from below.

“Hurry! Pull him up!”

After being pulled up, the guy unfastened the rope from around his waist then patted his bottom dust free.
With confidence he declared, “According to the results of my test, this kid did not lie!”

We saw you drop; you don’t have to say it.
The crowd groaned in their hearts.

“What do we do now? How do we cross over?”

The same question was on everyone’s mind.
If they didn’t cross, then they were sitting ducks waiting to get killed.
The two corpses were definitely going to kill them!

Fortunately it wasn’t a problem for too long; some smart person came up with a solution.

The other female magician, who had been quiet the entire time, never speaking up, was the one who had the solution.

She had an eagle monster.
Her plan was to have the eagle fly over and tie a rope to the cliff on the other side.
Though they couldn’t use magic or qi, they could tight walk across the rope.

Everyone praised the plan.
They found an especially thick rope for its strength.
It could hold two people at a time, any more than that and the balance would be compromised.
It was quickly secured thanks to the magician’s eagle.

She was the first to go, easily crossing over with her good balance.

Her success proved it was possible, so everyone else lined up for their turn.

Zo and Feng Wu didn’t fight to be in front, so as a result the were at the end of the line.

It didn’t take long before nearly everyone had crossed; they were walking as fast as they could.
The second to last couple were in the process of crossing over when a burst of noise sounded.

The two corpses had arrived.
The people standing on the other side of the cliff looked terrified.
Though the people in the midst of crossing hadn’t gotten far, Feng Wu was the only one on the ground who could fight.

“Stand back and hide.” Feng Wu stepped back and put the short dagger away.
A different sword, an ancient looking one, appeared in her hand.

It was Xiao Chun of course.
She slowly pulled him out his sheath as she faced the two corpses.

“Be careful.” Zo said worriedly as he nodded.

Feng Wu responded with a, “Yes,” as she raised her sword, taking the initiative to attack.

The qi that surrounded the sword was like a rainbow.
The sword intent Feng Wu projected was a sword intent of the natural world.

note:
Natural world such as wind, air, that sort of thing.

The intent she used was full of life, but there was also a tint of death in it.

 

It was natural for death to follow life.
Some would say this was reincarnation.
In fact Feng Wu’s sword intent was exactly like reincarnation.

Feng Wu rarely used Xiao Chun to attack directly; the gap between her strength and Xiao Chun’s strength was too great.

Her strength was still too low.
If she used him to attack now, his purification powers would be affected by her attack. . .
