My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Panda Novel

Shu Yi’s shock alerted the fiendish cultivator underneath that something was amiss. There was a flash of white light. Huge volumes of white flames carrying a chilling aura shot out from the ground and spread across the entire graveyard, causing everything to turn a snow white. The ground started to crack apart and the flames spread like streams of water toward Shu Yi and Zuo Shuming.

[Ding! High-power source detected.]

Shu Yi’s became evidently excited.. Anxiously, she chased, “Hurry! 001, isolate the deviant fire and catch it.” As she spoke, she reached out toward the flames. A faint glow appeared around her hands. She was just about to touch the dark fire.

“Senior Sister Shu Yi, be careful!” Zuo Shuming beside her suddenly jumped out in front of her and knocked her hand away. The impact caused Shu Yi to fly backward four or five metres away from the dark flames. She landed headfirst into a pile of mud.

[Ding! Exceeded limits! Failed to catch! The next time you may activate this function is in four hours’ time!]

The three people who were watching from above: “…” Their presence was indeed redundant here.

╮(╯_╰)╭

Yet, Zuo Shuming did not seem to realize that he had done something wrong. He waved his spirit sword and used his sword techniques to defend the two of them from the flames. In a worried tone, he shouted, “Are you alright, Senior Sister Shu? This deviant fire appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that the fiendish cultivator is somewhere here! It’s too dangerous.. Senior Sister Shu… Senior Sister Shu, answer me!”

“…”

A while later…

Shu Yi clenched her fists by her side and pushed herself out of the mud. Her face was still covered in soil, but it was obvious that she was quite close to exploding in rage. She was so angry that it was almost as if there were real flames coming out of her ears She summoned her own spirit sword and headed straight toward Zuo Shuming. “I’m going to kill you!”

“Eh?” Zuo Shuming started. He had no choice but to turn around and fend off her attacks. Confused, he asked, “Senior Sister Shu, why are you doing this? The fiendish cultivator is over there!”

[Host, calm down! He cannot die now. The original owner’s grievous energy hasn’t fully dissipated!] 001 was getting anxious as well.

“Damn your stupid grievous energy values!” Shu Yi had lost all sense of logic. She lifted her sword and waved it at Zuo Shuming without any inhibitions. She was not employing any techniques – this was the work of pure rage. “I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill him! I have to kill him…”

[Host, you will fail your mission!]

“Damn your stupid mission!”

[Host… Host, be careful!]

001 suddenly called out in a panicked tone. While the two of them were having this internal struggle, the fiendish cultivator dug himself out of the ground. He began to wave his hands, causing black blades formed with evil aura, which also carried white flames of dark fire, to fly toward Shu Yi.

Shu Yi’s heart stopped. After she regained her composure, she retrieved the dharmic weapon from earlier and threw it over to the fiendish cultivator. The dharmic weapon flashed red, and the fiendish cultivator stopped moving at once. He writhed in pain and curled up into a ball, screaming non-stop. Even the white flames around them seemed to be dampened.

“It’s you!” The fiendish cultivator seemed to finally understand something. His eyes turned red, and his expression became twisted. He was filled with hatred all the way down to his bones. He could almost eat Shu Yi alive. “Tian Ji… It’s Tian Ji who sent you here! I’m going to kill you!”

He let out a loud roar as his eyes turned an even brighter red. He had made up his mind. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand toward his chest, digging deep. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound.

Both Zuo Shuming and Shu Yi stared blankly at him. They could not understand why he was hurting himself. Yet, they saw that the blood flowing from his chest was turning back. The next thing they knew, a huge amount of black Qi exploded around him, spreading out toward the surroundings. The aura it carried chilled them to their very bones.

The three people in the sky frowned. This was… demonic Qi!

Shu Yi’s heart sank. Suddenly, a loud crack was heard. The circular dharmic weapon on her head fell down to the ground. The red light that seemed to be controlling the fiendish cultivator was no more. She cried out. How could this be! Slowly, panic rose up in her chest.

The fiendish cultivator, Zhong Yi’s expression became calm. He no longer looked like he hated Shu Yi to the core. Instead, his entire demeanor turned cool. On that skinny, bony face, a sly smile appeared. He seemed to be a totally different person. He spat, “Revenge? As you wish!” Yet, this was not said to either Zuo Shuming or Shu Yi. It was almost like he was talking to himself.

The system’s voice sounded.

[Warning! Danger! Danger! A living being from a stronger territory has been detected in this plane! Host, please make a detour!]

Shu Yi’s entire body stiffened and beads of cold sweat began to form on her forehead and all the way down her back. Faintly, she could tell that this person in front of her was not the same Zhong Yi from before. But it was too late for her to run now. The other party raised his hand. Enormous amounts of black Qi charged toward her, carrying with it a murderous intent. Everything that the black Qi touched withered in its wake.

Zuo Shuming’s expression fell. He tightened his grip around his sword and said, “Senior Sister Shu, go back quickly and inform…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shu Yi crushed the transportation talisman in her hands. A white flash of light appeared and surrounded her. She was about to disappear before their very eyes.

The fiendish cultivator tutted. “You want to run?”

A wave of black demonic Qi swept past the spot that Shu Yi was standing. The white light dissipated and she spat blood from her mouth. She did not move a single inch.

“Senior Sister Shu!” Zuo Shuming raised his sword and began waving it around, trying to dissipate the demonic Qi. Yet, this proved to be of no use whatsoever. The demonic Qi just became thicker.

The fiendish cultivator lowered his gaze and laughed mirthlessly. “You’re going to be the sacrifice. Neither of you will be able to escape.”

Once he finished speaking, demonic Qi filled the air and threatened to swallow the two of them.

The three people who had been in the sky watching the entire scene finally landed on the ground. Yi Qing waved his hand and caused his sword Qi to sweep the surroundings. The black demonic Qi was forced to retreat.

“Hey, Zuo Two Bucks, are you alright?” Lonemoon turned to glance at him.

“Brother Lonemoon?” Zuo Two Bucks stared blankly back at Lonemoon, before glancing at Yi Qing. He heaved a sigh of relief. “Supremacy!”

“Who are you?” The fiendish cultivator… No, the demon now, looked at Yi Qing warily.

Yi Qing said nothing in response. He was nothing but an Earth Demon. There was no point talking to him at all. Lonemoon turned around and addressed the two people behind them. “It’s too dangerous here. Go back to the city.”

“No way!” Zuo Shuming instinctively objected. Shu Yi, on the other hand, averted her gaze, as if trying to hide something. She retrieved another transportation talisman and crushed it to pieces. She disappeared immediately.

“Just go if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much? How troublesome!

“How can I leave Brother Lonemoon here?” Zuo Shuming refused to move.

Lonemoon pursed his lips and sighed. He reached out and grabbed onto the person beside him, who had been chewing on a fruit. “Then look after her. Don’t lose her!”

Zuo Shuming: “…” Was Lady Shen a valuable possession? Why did he need to protect her?

Shen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!
