The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)-Chapter 1637: An Enemy Impossible To Defeat
Liu Binglan could not understand why Monument Tear Individuals had to kill one another.
Monument Tear Individuals would only rob one another’s life and Monument Tears to obtain greater power.
Would Chu Tianmang rob Chu Mu of his life to obtain power? That was impossible. If Chu Tianmang was really so heartless, he would not have to save Chu Mu from the blackhole abyss back at Heavenly Mountain stronghold.
She looked at Chu Mu and was still a little doubtful.
“Do you know what era’s strongest means?” asked Chu Tianmang.
“What does it mean?”
“It means the human race will have an Undying rank, the only one apart from Heaven Palace. Be it the Divine Sect which holds great authority in the entire Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent, or Demon Beast Palace which has spread all over the world, Elemental Clan or the two Royalties, they must all bow before this Undying rank individual. Human leaders have spent hundreds of years to look for the way to reach Undying rank. Not only leaders from this era, humans from thousands of years ago had also been looking for the method......” Chu Tianmang raised his head to look at the dark sky and spoke bitterly.
“When the powerful individuals accumulated over thousands of years found a way to reach Undying rank, they will forsake everything and use whatever method to obtain it......”
“Within the Undying rank legends, Monument Tear was able to make one reach Undying rank. This was not just a legend but the truth. I don’t know what those desperate people will do to me, including you two.”
Liu Binglan watched Chu Tianmang as he told her many things.
Certainly, Liu Binglan did not know all these. She knew that Chu Tianmang had his own concerns for not showing up, but she never imagined Chu Tianmang was actually facing all the desperate people wanting to reach Undying rank in the entire human territory.
Some people could become heartless devils for a piece of territory, a soul crystal or an Immortal Item, let alone a chance to reach Undying rank!
“Now, the human territory will definitely gain an Undying rank, it’s either me or Chu Mu,” said Chu Tianmang.
Liu Binglan looked at Chu Tianmang and suddenly felt fear.
This fated Monument Tear meant either of them would die.
To Liu Binglan, that was the cruelest thing. While to Chu Mu or Chu Tianmang, that was something they could not accept.
“Can’t you stay like this?” asked Liu Binglan.
Chu Tianmang shook his head and spoke, “In the past, I also thought that we can just give up on this Undying rank ticket. Chu Mu’s strength is already unparalleled in the entire human territory, while I have already killed all the powerful competitors. There is no longer anyone who can threaten us in future. However, I’m wrong.”
“The final Solar Eclipse of the current ten thousand year wheel has arrived. Every era’s strongest should be appearing. I can’t say for sure about other era’s strongest, but the fifth era’s strongest Ancient Flood Dragon Person has a hostile relationship with the fourth era’s strongest Ancient Beast. Once it awakens, the first thing it will do is to kill all fourth era’s Monument Tear Individuals who may pose a threat to it!”
Liu Binglan was shocked. At first, she thought that Ancient Flood Dragon Person should only be a threat to New Moon Land, but never thought that Ancient Flood Dragon Person was actually related to Monument Tear Individuals.
“Which means, either one of you two becomes Undying rank to fight against Ancient Flood Dragon Person, or both of you get killed by Ancient Flood Dragon Person?” asked Liu Binglan.
Chu Tianmang nodded.
Chu Tianmang also never expected such a result at the end......
When he found this unchangeable fact, he could only do one thing. He would sweep clean of all enemies for Chu Mu, and Chu Mu would no longer need to fight the final enemy of Chu Mu as a Monument Tear Individual.
“Chu Mu will not attack me, neither will I attack him. I have been running away, but I cannot run away now,” said Chu Tianmang.
Liu Binglan became silent. Why did this matter have to become so cruel?
Could this be the cross of fate necessary after reaching the peak of cultivation?
If that was the case, Liu Binglan would rather wish that they were just common soul pet trainers. They would not have to make decisions for the Monument Tear Individual destiny or worry about Ancient Flood Dragon Person.
“Is there no other method?” asked Liu Binglan with a heavy tone.
“No.”
For a moment, both of them went silent.
The wind blew from one end of the street and brushed past them.
Liu Binglan’s hair fluttered along the wind, receiving the coldness from the gust.
“Rest assured, I made the same choice as you,” Eventually, Chu Tianmang smiled, “Maybe us two are really unsuitable for each other, but our connection is not a complete mistake, at least......”
“You have already made up your mind?” Liu Binglan knew what Chu Tianmang wanted to say.
“Yes, this has always been my decision. Some paths are too crooked and laid with thorns. Someone has to pave the path and clean the obstacles for him......” said Chu Tianmang.
Liu Binglan did not say anything. If that was the case, she could comprehend the reason Chu Tianmang never appeared before Chu Mu for such a long time. She could also understand why he acted in the dark.
However......
“Will you miss me?” Chu Tianmang looked at Liu Binglan and asked this question with a serious expression.
Liu Binglan was still immersed in sorrow, this sudden question caused her thoughts to entangle.
“I don’t know,” answered Liu Binglan in an unclear way.
“......” Chu Tianmang was a little speechless. It seemed that this woman was really insensitive towards his life.
That was also understandable. He had never shown up for so many years, it was no different from being dead to her. She was already used to living without the existence of him in her world.
Chu Tianmang stretched out his hand and combed Liu Binglan’s disheveled hair, then unconsciously put his hand on her soft shoulder.
Chu Tianmang had always wanted to hug her, but was afraid of getting hurt by the chill. So he had been hesitating.
Perhaps this would be their last meeting, Chu Tianmang suddenly felt that he was too much of a coward. Could he not muster the courage to hug her again?
Eventually, he took a step closer and gently hugged Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan only stood there and appeared flustered. She wanted to reject this unfamiliar hug, but slowly remembered a familiar sensation.
This familiarity was not the feeling when they were together at the start, but the familiarity of a figure appearing before her to save her whenever she faced a crisis.
She had always thought that he was far away, but in reality, this man had always been by her side, using the method he believed to be correct to protect her and Chu Mu.
“I am an impatient man. I should have been more patient back then to slowly reside in your heart, and not leave out of impulsiveness,” whispered Chu Tianmang.
Liu Binglan did not speak, she maintained her silence.
Chu Tianmang knew that her keeping silent did not mean she was not listening. It also did not mean she never treated his words seriously, she was just poor at expressing.
“No matter what, I will still get angry when I see another man attempting to approach you,” said Chu Tianmang.
“The person injuring Xiao Xueang in a secret duel is you?” asked Liu Binglan.
“Hehe, who else can he be apart from me?” Since it already ended up like this, Chu Tianmang felt that he could just admit to it.
Sometimes, he really felt that Chu Mu was loved by heaven. He went crazy and even became split personality in order to make his woman smile, yet what he received was usually an expression which suspected whether he had gone senile. However, Chu Mu could make Liu Binglan smile so happily with just a simple praise.
The woman he could not conquer in his entire life was so mindful of another man. Fortunately, that man was his son, or Chu Tianmang would really want to kill that man!
“Never mind, forget about that. I will stop on this boring topic. Where is Chu Mu? It’s time to settle this,” said Chu Tianmang.
“He’s at New Moon Land,” said Liu Binglan.
“New Moon Land?? Why did he not come to Northern Territory with you!?” Chu Tianmang stopped his self-depreciation and turned grim.
“Do you think that by not telling him or showing up, he won’t know anything?” said Liu Binglan coldly.
“He knows??” Chu Tianmang was astonished.
That should be impossible. Chu Mu should have assumed him to be dead. How could Chu Mu find out about the final secret of Monument Tear Individuals?
“His choice is completely different from yours,” Liu Binglan also understood Chu Mu’s intention for staying in New Moon Land.
......
In Chu Mu’s heart, Chu Tianmang was an enemy he could never defeat, and also a person he could never surpass.
If he had to face Chu Tianmang as the enemy, then Chu Mu would rather face the Undying rank Ancient Flood Dragon Person......
Chu Tianmang’s choice was to run away, and offer his Monument Tear when he could no longer escape to grant Chu Mu the position of fourth era’s strongest.
Chu Mu chose to fight!
Even if that was a five thousand year Undying rank creature!
......
Right now, Chu Tianmang’s thoughts began churning rapidly.
How did Chu Mu gain the courage to face an Undying rank creature?
Since Chu Mu knew that he was cleaning the path to help Chu Mu inherit the era’s strongest, why did Chu Mu not choose to accept it?
Did Chu Mu not know that even with both of them combined, they could not defeat Ancient Flood Dragon Person?
“I will go to New Moon Land now,” Chu Tianmang let go of Liu Binglan and felt anxious.
How could he let Chu Mu face Ancient Flood Dragon Person all by himself? If they really had to fight, it should be him facing that five thousand year Undying rank creature. He was the true fourth era’s Monument Tear Inheritor.
