Chereads / Martial Peak: Eternal Void Great Emperor / Chapter 3 - A Careless Step

Chapter 3 - A Careless Step

In the next moment, before he could make any sense of the situation the skeleton went inside him and started merge with his body, and he felt a pain he never know existed.

Unexpectedly, his head also started hurting severely the next moment and it soon became very hard to remain conscious.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH." He screamed at the top of his lungs without any care about his surrounding as the pain in his head continued to rise, it felt as if someone was stabbing him with a knife on his head.

"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT. I forgot.... that the golden skeleton also.... tries to take over the mind of its hoST. FUCCKKKKKKKK"

Liu Feiyang was in deep trouble. He didn't have high mental resilience like the standards of this world required nor did he have luck of a child of destiny. He has made a big mistake as soon as stepped in this world and there was nothing he could do about it.

"SYSTEM, CAN YOU HELPAHHH.... ME OUT?"

[There is nothing I can do right which will be of help to you host. You will have to deal with the situation yourself.]

Liu Feiyang was truly speechless, he couldn't even curse back at the system as the pain was so much wasn't even able to form thoughts properly right now.

He dropped to the ground, gritting his teeth and clenching his fist as he still didn't want to give up, not after he has just gotten another chance.

His consciences was starting to fade away when suddenly, his eyes flashed with a beam of crimson red light and his body went limp as he lost his mind finally went blank.

Inside Liu Feiyang's Mind Space,

The golden skeleton was now standing on a grass field where all the grass were withered and dark pink sky without any sun, moon or even stars in it.

"He he he he." A very hazy and unrecognizable voice came out of the golden skeleton's mouth as his jaws moved as if he was speaking something.

It didn't have a complete consciousness as a spirit so it could not speak properly too. It was happy when he was set free from that black space and even more delighted to see that a naive boy with almost no cultivation was the one who took him out of the darkness.

It attacked the boy out of pure instinct to survive and now it could easily absorb this boy's residual soul and gain complete sentience.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

A pair of crimson red eyes were now staring at golden skeleton as he heard a loud roar of terrifying beast following those words.

As an incomplete spirit, he wasn't capable of having many emotions and only acted on instincts of survival but right now, for the first time in his life he has felt fear.

All his bones started to shake and he know what he had to do next... RUN.

He tried to escape the mind space but unexpectedly he failed, he tried and tried again but still failed so choose the next best option and turned away to run but its fate was already sealed the moment it entered.

A crimson beam of energy soon engulfed him, leaving behind nothing but a few of his bones.

As soon as the skeleton was gone, a tall and dark figure covered in shadows came into existence and soon the residual bones flew towards the figure, disappearing in its darkness.

"Should we have intervened sooner?" A distorted voice came from the pair of crimson eyes. 

"No." The black figure gave answered with a firm voice and then disappeared.

10 Hours Later,

A bucket load of water was splashed across Liu Feiyang's face.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH" It caused him to open his eyes abruptly and cough uncontrollably as the water got into his windpipe making it difficult to breathe.

He felt his hands were tied up and looked around to see who the hell actually did this and saw a black haired guy of average height looking at him in anger. 

Liu Feiyang didn't care about anything and shouted "What's wrong with you and why have you tied me up?"

"Isn't that something I should be asking? What were you doing sleeping on the floor, inside my house."

"Your house? what do yo-" and that's when it hit him, he remembered about what happened before he lost his consciousness.

"I am still alive?" He said in shock.

"Yes, you are. Now tell me what you were doing in my house?" The guy asked him again.

Liu Feiyang looked both once and said "I think the world you are looking is roost."

"Ughhh." He received a firm kick to his stomach for that which was expected him. He tried to break through the rope but it was very tightly knot still he felt like he could break it .

"No need for futile efforts. You cultivation is only 2nd stage Body Tempering realm and I have already taken that into account. If you tried to play tricks in front of me I won't mind adding "digging your grave" to list of my task before sleeping today." The guy took out his knife to threaten him.

"Hey hey hey, wh-why don't we talk like civilized people, huh? No need for violence. Your name is Yang kai right? Now i remember, you see I didn't even do anything. I just came here to-to find my chicken."

"Oh a chicken, huh?"

"Yeah, chicken I was carrying a few of them for lunch but I stumbled on a stone and they ran away from me, one of them ran towards your house so I came inside to find it and then something just hit me on the back of my head and it all went blank for me. That's all I remember, please please spare me."

Liu Feiyang started cooking up a story but also not giving up on breaking the rope and he realized that his strength has surprisingly increased by at least 3 folds even though he didn't break through yet. Now he only needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to break it.

Unfortunately Yang Kai didn't buy any one if it and pointed the knife right at its neck. 

"Tell me honestly, What did you come here for or else I am going to kill you right now."

Liu Feiyang was astonished at his reaction, he was sure he didn't know about the black book so what could cause him to act like that. Things have gotten serious now so he needed to think before he speak or he might die a second time in a single day.

"I, Gu Feiyang, swear on my martial dao that I have only seen nothing in this place apart from the walls, roof, the haystack, Blackstone, the fireplace and the ground. If I have had intension to harm you, I will be struck by lightning and my cultivation will never progress an inch in this life."

After listening to this Yang Kai took his knife back thinking a guy won't waste his whole life for anything related to him and he has already checked that all of his belongings were untouched, so there was no need to threaten him any further.

He stood back up and went behind the pillar to cut off the ropes. Liu Feiyang was all too happy with his hands being free after a long time as his wrists had deep marks, God knows how long he was tied up. 

After checking that all his belonging and clothes were fine apart form being wet he said "You didn't really have to go far, you know. What could I possibly want from you, Brother Yang."

"I am sorry but I had my reasons so I hope for your understanding. Also, It's Senior Brother Yang." He extended his hand forward with a smile as if nothing had happened so far.

Liu Feiyang thinking it was his fault to begin with decided to let it go. "Nice to meet you, Senior brother Yang. I am Liu Feiyang, an ordinary disciple of the sect." and shook his hand.

For the next few seconds, there was nothing but silence in the room.
