Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen - Chapter 92

Xu Ming was about to be struck by the sword, but he caught the sword with his bare hands.

His hands had started bleeding, but he didn’t leave the sword of Chu.

He picked up his sword that was lying nearby and slashed at Chu.

Chu was trying to free his sword when he saw Xu Ming attack him.

He released his sword as he moved back and dodged the attack.

Xu Ming threw Chu’s sword behind him as he stepped towards him with his sword in his hand.

“Do you think that you have won just because you took my weapon? How naive,” Chu said smilingly as he looked at Xu Ming.

“Let me show you the real difference between us,” He said smilingly as he used his movement skill. In an instant, he disappeared from his initial position and appeared behind Xu Ming.

He punched towards Xu Ming’s head, but his hand passed through Xu Ming. To be precise, his hand passed through Xu Ming’s shadow as Xu Ming used his movement skill and appeared behind him.

Everything changed so suddenly that Chu didn’t even know how to react as Xu Ming caught the back of his neck and raised him in the air.

Xu Ming thrashed him on the ground. The floor was cracked and Chu’s nose was broken. His head started bleeding.

He couldn’t help but let out a pained noise, but Xu Ming simply picked him up again and crashed him on the ground.

He did it 4-5 times until the floor was covered in his blood. He had even stopped moving.

Xu Ming released him. He raised his sword and stabbed the chest of Chu and finished him off forever.

He placed all three bodies in his storage ring before he turned back to look at Xu Ming.

“Y-you killed them all,” Xin stuttered.

“Yeah, and I saved our lives. Don’t mention it to anyone. Just think of it like we never met them,” Xu Ming said to her in a calm tone.

“Let’s leave before someone else comes here,” He further said as he walked towards the door.

He opened the door as he looked outside. Seeing that no one was there, he stepped out of the room.

Xin followed after him but she still couldn’t control her shaking.

They left the place and entered the carriage silently.

“I think it’s enough sightseeing for the day. Let’s go back,” Xu Ming said as he looked at Xin, sitting to his left.

“Alright,” Xin nodded her head and informed the driver of the carriage about the change of plans.

The Carriage Driver changed the direction and started taking the carriage back.

In no time, the carriage was back inside the Ling Clan.

They got out of the Carriage and entered the clan.

As they were going towards the door, the clan master of the Ling Clan, Ling Kun was coming out of the clan.

He stopped before Xu Ming and Xin as he glanced at them with a confused look on his face.

“It’s because of me. I wasn’t feeling like seeing the city anymore, so I asked her to bring me back,” Xu Ming answered as he wasn’t sure what Xin would say.

“Oh, Are you feeling alright? It’s not because of your injuries, is it?” Ling Kun asked in concern.

“It’s not that. I’m perfectly healed, so please don’t worry,” Xu Ming replied.

“Oh, alright. You guys can go back and rest. I’m going out for a meeting, so I won’t be back before late at night,” Ling Kun said.

“Alright. Thanks,” Xu Ming responded.

Ling Kun left, and Xu Ming entered the mansion.

“Go to your room and have a sleep. You’ll feel better,” Xu Ming told Xin as he entered his room.

Xin nodded her head and walked to her room.

Xu Ming fell down to his bed and closed his eyes as he breathed in relief.

“Thanks to those guys, the quest was completed much easily,” He muttered as he gazed at the disciples’ badges of the 3 of them.

“Since I’m done with the quest, I can leave and go back. I’d leave at midnight,” He decided.

He got up and again began his cultivation. He had realized the importance of cultivation.

Without strength, he would be dead twice after leaving the sect. He was able to survive only because he had Strength. He had the strength to survive and he didn’t want to slack off.

Although he had survived till now, surviving was not his original target. It was revenge. He wanted to kill War God Zhen and he wanted to kill the person who schemed against him in the sect.

He cultivated for hours with the same determination and stopped only when he felt like it was the time to get ready to leave.

He stood up and left his room. He walked towards the room that was right beside his and knocked on the door.

“Are you awake?” He called out.

Xin opened the door in less than 10 seconds and just stood there blankly.

“I’m leaving. I’d be going back to my sect,” Xu Ming informed her.

“When will you be leaving?” She asked softly.

“Right now,” Xu Ming replied.

“I-is it because of what happened today?” She asked in concern.

“Nope, It’s not that. It’s something else. I need to get back to my sect for a different reason. So I’d be thankful if you could tell your father when he comes back. Also, please convey my thanks to him,” He said as he turned back.

“Wait. I’ll get the driver to ready the carriage to take you,” She called out.

“There’s no need for that. Thanks for the concern though. I’d see you when I come back to the kingdom,” He said smilingly as he left.

Xu Ming walked out of the mansion and brought out the Wild Eagle Beast and climbed on top of it as he began flying back.

He didn’t use the Profound Crane of Xiang Feng as he guessed that the beast didn’t belong to him. There was no way someone like him could get a beast like that.

He guessed that It must be a tamed beast of someone else. Flying on someone else’s beast could be really dangerous, thus he used his own.

He flew for a long time and he was about to reach the town in which he had stayed.

“Last time I was worried about the money and couldn’t pay you. Since no money was spent on this mission, I’d give you a gold coin for helping me before I leave,” He thought as he looked towards the small town with a smile on his face as he remembered the face of the kind old woman who was the owner of the inn where he stayed.

The Wild Eagle beast kept flying and soon reached above the town.

The smile on Xu Ming’s face changed into a horrified look as he looked forward.

“W-wh…” He couldn’t even find words to speak as he looked at the inn. Or the place where the inn used to be.

There was nothing in that place but ash.

He hurriedly ordered the Wild Eagle Beast to get down in front of the place.

He got off the beast as he gazed at the remains of the Inn. Not a single thing had survived. Everything was destroyed.

He ran to the nearest place as he knocked on the door.

A woman opened the door.

“Yes kid. Do you need anything?” The woman asked.

“What happened to that inn? And the owner of the inn?” He asked in concern.

“She? That poor woman. She was killed and the hotel was destroyed,” The woman replied.

Xu Ming couldn’t help but clench his fist tightly as he heard the news.
