Not waiting for the resentment spirit to return back to reality, Dong Fang Qing Cang held the sword and sliced toward [it].
The resentment spirit panicked and tried to avoid, but Dong Fang Qing Cang still cut off the sleeve of his robe and [spirit] transformed into a black energy that roam across the void.
Dong Fang Qing Cang temporarily halted and narrowed his eyes as he peered at that black energy. At this time, resentment spirit has awaken and continued to match wits as the corner of his mouth curved, "Dong Fang Qing Cang, you cannot kill me." Then he continued, "I am a part of you, and is the energy you have congregate during the period in the endless void. I am incorporeal and figureless. Even if your sword of flames can slice everything in the three realms, but you cannot behead me."
The resentment spirit grinned and revealed his sharp teeth. He tossed away the other half of the heart that has no use by placing it alongside the heart that Dong Fang Qing Cang has tossed before, and then disappeared into the void. The resentment spirit said, "I am also you, who does not belong to the three realms. I am you."
The blood red pupils of Dong Fang Qing Cang watched the resentment spirit attentively. He was not suppressed and limited by the curse and so he used his powers without become afraid of the consequences. "You are ben zuo?" Dong Fang Qing Cang sneered, "Really is wanton."
As Dong Fang Qing Cang became angry, his flames of anger have caused Little Orchid, who was currently like a mortal, to feel the raging energy within the void. Her ears were experiencing episodic ringing and even [she] felt chest tightness. Ever she has entered inside the clay/xi rang body she has never felt such feeling before.
She looked afar. Perhaps it was an illusion of hers as she seemingly saw the stars in the sky tottering. The bone orchid on her wrist silently sprouted out dry, rattan branches and wrapped around the body of Little Orchid. It even crawled up her head and used small branches to wrap around her head, covered her ears, and even covered her eyes.
Little Orchid couldn't suppress her curiosity. Pushing out a branch in the front, she has a curiosity that could not be suppressed toward the appearance of Dong Fang Qing Cang when angered…Even though she often angered Dong Fang Qing Cang, but such anger of his at this time, seemed to be…different than the times he was angry with her?
The resentment spirit clearly has felt the energy of Dong Fang Qing Cang and the smile on the lips couldn't stop its diminishment. Yet, [he] did not have the opportunity to open mouth as the sword energy on the fiery sword of Dong Fang Qing Cang flared up. Inside of the rays of light shone to the point of blinding and the murderous energy of Dong Fang Qing Cang stirred. The resentment spirit closed his eyes and moved sideways to avoid. The energy inside the hand also moved and a wave of black energy transformed into a double-edged sword in resentment spirit's hand.
The resentment spirit did not opened eyes and relied on the senses to lift hand and defend. The black-colored sword halted the fiery sword of Dong Fang Qing Cang, but within a moment, the flames burned the tip of the sword and only heard "ka" as the sword of resentment spirit stopped congregating energy and was immediately sliced into pieces by Dong Fang Qing Cang!
Yet, this sword was like the robe sleeve from before as it immediately transformed into a black-colored energy that still surrounded the sides of Dong Fang Qing Cang and the resentment spirit. Dong Fang Qing Cang originally did not peered at the surrounding energies as the gaze grew colder and did not waste time for resentment spirit to avoid as he sliced resentment spirit's shoulder.
The black-colored energy flowed out from the wound on resentment spirit's shoulder like blood on the neck of a mortal after being slashed by knife. The resentment spirit groaned a sound and retreated to the back in order to avoid, but Dong Fang Qing Cang has experienced many battles and would not let his opponent continue retreating. Only heard Dong Fang Qing Cang coldly smiled and said, "Your bones are quite hard."
Finished speaking, Little Orchid, who was still assessing the fight outside, suddenly saw the rays of light from the sword of Dong Fang Qing Cang dimmed. In the beginning, she still couldn't recognize what has happened until she closely saw and discovered that Dong Fang Qing Cang has unexpectedly pierced the sword into the opponent!
The burning flames flared inside the body of the resentment spirit. Little Orchid heard Dong Fang Qing Cang snorted coldly. Briefly later, the rays of light on the sword illuminated once more and brightened the eyes of Little Orchid.
Dong Fang Qing Cang has sliced the resentment spirit into two pieces.
It like…chopping gourd for a food dish.
Nonetheless, is a person who looks exactly like you…yet big devil can still take action, this matter…Little Orchid pondered, towards the heart of his body he has said tossed and did tossed, should not hope on how he treats other anymore…
Thinking to that, Little Orchid dazed the body, if…there is a day when she returns to the heavenly realm and stood in opposition against Dong Fang Qing Cang, then when standing opposite, will he not show mercy like before…
Will she be chopped into two pieces…or so?
Little Orchid did not get to indulge in flights of fancy as on the face of the resentment spirit who was "beheaded" by Dong Fang Qing Cang curved into a strange smile.
The smile was cold and also terrifying, "Dong Fang Qing Cang…give the body to me."
The gaze of Dong Fang Qing Cang darkened. The body of the resentment spirit suddenly exploded and transformed black-colored energy that filled the sky, enveloping Dong Fang Qing Cang inside.
Little Orchid was far away and she was surprised to discover that the black energy that surrounded Dong Fang Qing Cang has unexpectedly turned into a skull. While Dong Fang Qing Cang was standing right in front of that skull's opened mouth! The pupils of Little Orchid shrank. She heard herself who can't contain as she shouted out, "Big devil! Be careful!"'
However when her voice finished, the skull suddenly closed its mouth and Dong Fang Qing Cang was swallowed inside. The surrounding black colored energy immediately congregated into a sphere and completely obscured the silhouette of Dong Fang Qing Cang.
Little Orchid subconsciously wanted to run toward the front even though she does not know what she can do if she charged forward…
At this time, the bone orchid on the wrist has finished enveloping her. Little Orchid could not budge and can only shift eyes to stare blankly at the sphere of black energy condensing and rotating very fast.
At the time when the energy stirred, Little Orchid would occasionally see bright flames crawling out from inside the black colored energy. Sometimes the bright flames resembled a sword piercing through the surface of the black colored energy, but when she thought that Dong Fang Qing Cang was about to become victorious, the bright flames were sunk by the black energy.
The storm of the flames and black energy colliding was intense. Even if [she] could not see the fight between the two people inside, but Little Orchid can imagine how vehement the two "Dong Fang Qing Cang" are fighting.
Little Orchid's heart was racing as she peered and waited for the result, but the black energy and the flames were still fighting endlessly. Little Orchid waited for a long time and felt that her eyes were getting a little bit exhausted. After that she yawned. Waited for a while and still did not see any result. She smacked the lips and slept under the protection of the bone orchid. Zzzz*
*The author indicated huhu for the sound of someone breathing when sound asleep, but that doesn't fit well when translating so I opt for "zzz"
Living together with Dong Fang Qing Cang for a long time, it seemed that her mood when seeing the various bewilderingly odd fights was more at ease in an unusual way…
When Little Orchid slept for a bit and then woke up, the scene was still like before…
She felt downright insipid and smacked her lips while shooting a glance and saying, "In the end how long are you guys planning to fight…"When she finished speaking the sentence, the rotation speed of the black energy over there slowly slowed down.
Knowing that it was almost the end, Little Orchid got back her spirit and she blinked her eyes to watch attentively. She saw that the sphere from the black energy slowly reduced and became smaller. After that, the silver hair of Dong Fang Qing Cang was revealed and then, the head and the feet. After, it was the feet and the neck. Finally, the body surfaced when the black energy completely disappeared inside Dong Fang Qing Cang's body.
The surroundings were silent for a while.
Little Orchid was dazed and peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang's body that was hovering in the atmosphere. His entire body seemed to have lost all its energy and closed its eyes while floating quietly like fallen dead leaves.
The bone orchid that surrounded Little Orchid slowly retreated. Little Orchid knew that in the atmosphere there was no hostile energy anymore. She walked several steps toward Dong Fang Qing Cang.
"Big devil?"
She softly called his name, but did not hear any response back. Who won? Inside Little Orchid's heart, it would not stop guessing. Such silence, perhaps…all have died? Died together?
Little Orchid was dazed. Inside her heart she knew clearly that even if it was the resentment spirit of Dong Fang Qing Cang or the real Dong Fang Qing Cang, the existence of them was a threat to the heavenly realm. It was best that the two people here battle each other where they would perish and die together. Like that, the three realms would restore its peace and the ambitious people of the demon realm would temporarily stop.
But…at this time Little Orchid tossed her stance to the side.
She wanted Dong Fang Qing Cang to live, wanted Dong Fang Qing Cang to leave here, she…did not want Dong Fang Qing Cang to die.
"Big devil." Little Orchid called loudly and stood besides him.
He still kept his eyes closed. The facial features that were so delicate to the point of causing to the country and people, were still like before. The eyelashes were still long like the first time she has seen them. On the body of his, besides the wound when he took out the heart, there was no other place seen with distinct trickling blood.
Like this…perhaps will be okay? Little Orchid cautiously and solemnly reached out with her hand to probe the breathing from Dong Fang Qing Cang's nose. It's quite weak, but still remains. Not dead, is still alive. The boulder inside her heart suddenly fell to the ground, but in a short period of time, the boulder was hung up. The body still lives, but the person inside…who is that?
She peered at face of Dong Fang Qing Cang. Then lightly called several times. There was really no response from Dong Fang Qing Cang. Little Orchid briefly pondered. In the end, gathered the courage and the shaking hand reached out to squeeze his nose.
En…nose is really beautiful and squeeze felt quite comfortable.
She waited until Dong Fang Qing Cang cannot hold breath anymore and then will release hand, but she squeezed for a while and did not see him consciously waking up. Thus, Little Orchid began to become frightened about whether she has squeezed the ancient demon king to death.
But when she loosen her grip and did not probe the breathing in Dong Fang Qing Cang's nose anymore, the power still remained and the breathing, after she squeezed it for a long time, became faster.
Like this can consider that he still lives right? However…living like a corpse…If Dong Fang Qing Cang continues to sleep forever like this…then what to do?
Little Orchid peered at the surroundings. Aside from the starry sky, there was nothing else. After reaching a peace of mind, she heard her heartbeats were oddly quiet. Furthermore, his breathings were weak to the point of losing oneself out of breath.
Really is too peaceful…
Seeing the stars turned, Little Orchid suddenly begin to become scared. If continued to turn, turn forever, Dong Fang Qing Cang disappeared, then what should she do if she's here alone? Thus, she hugged his head and placed him who was peacefully sleeping inside her bosom. Does not know how long [she] has experienced, the patience of Little Orchid seemed to become almost abraded all by the endless stars.
Suddenly, she remembered from before what the resentment spirit has told her. Dong Fang Qing Cang has turned and moved inside the void of nothingness for ten million years.
Ten million years…was a very long period of time. Little Orchid originally has no conception of that. But she stayed here for a while and has already felt extremely bored. Cannot blame Dong Fang Qing Cang here to produce so many grievances that congregated into the resentment spirit, really cannot blame…
It's no wonder… that he's strongly attached to the battle from the ancient times.
The period of time when he would roam here was certainly without a missed moment of regretting his own defeat. Furthermore, Dong Fang Qing Cang was narrowed-minded like this, and certainly dreamt about wanting to claim the debt from Chi De woman.
Perhaps…this was the reason he wanted to resurrect Chi De woman.
It's no wonder that at the time Dong Fang Qing Cang wanted to mold the body of Chi De woman into a male…Perhaps did not want to battle with a woman anymore. Little Orchid peered at her own hands. In the end, [she] finally felt that at this time it's better that she still occupies this body. After all, the grudge between Dong Fang Qing Cang and Chi De woman is not related to her. She should demand him to find a body for her and then leave.
When she was thinking in circles, Little Orchid suddenly heard the breathings of Dong Fang Qing Cang become heavier within the peaceful period of time. Little Orchid immediately vanished her thoughts and peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang's eyes. She saw that he has slowly opened them. It was still the bloody red pupils that did not darkened and also were not terrifying. Little Orchid knew that he would not lose and definitely has won over his resentment spirit.
Dong Fang Qing Cang opened eyes, but did not look at Little Orchid and only peered at the star-filled sky. Little Orchid did not get to speak up as he closed his eyes. After that, lips curved and produced a hazy, cold sneer.
Little Orchid stared until becoming dazed.
This is the first time she has seen on the arrogant, ever-unchanging expression of Dong Fang Qing Cang…
To display such dejection like that.
It was like accepting one's fate, helpless, and was even like… Losing all of one's hope with oneself, impotent.
"Big…big devil?" Little Orchid gently called. Hearing her voice, Dong Fang Qing Cang opened his eyes and this time, the gaze landed on the face of Little Orchid. He peered at her and there were several parts of surprise that [he] forgot to hide. It was like asking how can you be here.
"Cannot expect…" Dong Fang Qing Cang said while staring blankly, "It's not a dream…"
Little Orchid was startled, "It's not what dream?"
Dong Fang Qing Cang shifted his eyes and peered at the star-filled sky, "I thought that when I have left this damnable place was merely a dream."
Little Orchid did not expect that Dong Fang Qing Cang would answer her question and also did not expect he would respond like that. Such response has caused her to feel that Dong Fang Qing Cang seemed to…have forgotten to wear a protective mask in front of her. Even took off his outer coat filled with thorns. He spoke from his heart.
After that, Little Orchid reflected on that sentence. Unexpectedly, the heart began to feel something indescribable…does not know what flavor it is…
So when Dong Fang Qing Cang roamed inside the void, unexpectedly he was in despair with himself to that much, so Dong Fang Qing Cang…
Also can sometimes be weak and caused others…to feel ache/sympathetic.
