Chapter 1142: Escape from the Fairy Tale
Chapter 1142: Escape from the Fairy Tale
The picturesque second level seemed to be divided into two parts at this moment.
One part of it was orange, and it was spreading rapidly, completely dyeing the other part of it white.
Or like a chase …
It was like an orange sea, seething and roaring. Within it was the image of the Great Demon King, radiating a monstrous evil as he sped through the orange sea toward the fleeing five-colored shadow.
The five-colored shadow was Xu Qing.
At that moment, he was fleeing with all his might.
The Orange Sea behind him roared and exuded an extreme sense of danger. It was as if he would be swallowed by the Orange Sea if he was even a little slower.
As for the small person with the four words written on his head, he was also running away, but he was clearly more relaxed. He was always slightly faster than Xu Qing, and as he ran, he shouted loudly.
"Run! The Demon King is here!"
"Hah, Great Demon King, if you have the ability, then hurry up and swallow my son. Then, I'll admit defeat!"
"Come on, take out your strongest technique and beat my son to death, beat my son to death!"
"Son, why are you running so slowly? Let me tell you, if you get caught, I won't save you this time."
The imp's voice echoed out, causing Xu Qing to feel vexed, and the Great Demon King to roar even louder.
It was as if he had been provoked.
Thus, in the next instant, the orange sea that was chasing after Xu Qing suddenly surged even more violently. Its form changed, and it actually transformed into a black tortoise. It looked very ugly, but also incomparably ferocious, and it pounced forward viciously.
Xu Qing's expression changed as he dodged by a hair's breadth. Only then did he avoid being pounced on by the orange Black Tortoise.
The little person let out a cry.
"See, see, I told you, Great Demon King, you're an old bastard!"
These words completely infuriated the Great Demon King.
In the next instant, the orange Black Tortoise transformed again, this time into an orange toad.
Orange mud flowed all over the toad's body, and a thunderous sound came from its mouth. Sometimes it jumped and sometimes it spat out orange mud. Not only was it uglier than the previous tortoise form, it was also more ferocious.
Xu Qing, who was fleeing at top speed, already felt an unprecedented pressure. There were even a few times when he was almost unable to dodge.
However, in the eyes of that despicable person, his crisis was nothing more than a thrill.
"That's right, that's right. Old bastard, you're an ugly toad. Disgusting, ugly. What else can you do besides spitting saliva? If you have the ability, spit further!"
When Xu Qing heard this, his scalp went numb. Then, the orange sea behind him began to churn. The toad vanished, and in its place … was an enormous sea cucumber.
Then, it spat out a long orange line that blotted out the sky and covered the earth toward Xu Qing.
The miniature man was excited.
"You headless thing. This time, you've really changed into yourself. You're full of thorns, but you're all soft."
"The worst thing is that you actually peed on us. Son, get out of the way. This old bastard is angry. He's peeing on us!"
Seeing that he couldn't dodge and was about to be hit by the orange light, the little person suddenly raised his hand and drew a circle, then drilled into it.
Xu Qing also immediately went in.
When they reappeared, they were already in a different location. The small person placed its hands on its hips, swayed its head, and spoke arrogantly.
"Son, don't be afraid, this guy can't shoot!"
Xu Qing was speechless. At this moment, he could see that the Orange Sea Great Demon King behind him was either ugly or disgusting. This clearly represented the hatred and resentment that this lowly person had towards the Immortal Venerable.
That was why they were trying to vilify him here.
As for how addressed Xu Qing as his son, Xu Qing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. At this moment, he'd realized that there was something wrong with Big head.
At the same time, the Orange Sea roared and churned. This time, it was no longer an illusion, but rather, the Great Great Demon King. He stepped out, causing a foul wind and a rain of blood to rise up.
He chased after Xu Qing.
The small person screamed.
"He's angry. He's angry."
As soon as he said that, the Great Demon King lifted the bucket in his left hand and fiercely splashed it. Immediately, the orange dye in the bucket filled the air.
It covered all of Xu Qing's positions, making it impossible for him to dodge. In fact … the little man tried to draw a circle again, but it failed.
Even this space was affected and could not be opened like before.
Then, the furious Great Demon King swung the brush in his right hand toward Xu Qing.
Seeing the danger, the small person's eyes widened.
"The Great Demon King is actually using his ultimate move!"
After saying that, its body suddenly became blurry.
It was made up of lines to begin with, and at this moment, it blurred and scattered at the same time. In a way that Xu Qing did not understand, it disappeared without a trace …
Xu Qing frowned, but soon relaxed. He calmly raised his head and looked at the orange color falling from the sky, as well as the brush that was whistling towards him.
He did not believe that the villain had appeared just to capture him halfway through his escape.
This didn't fit the resentment of Aurora Immortal Lord after his death.
"Therefore, there must still be a chance."
So, Xu Qing didn't move at all. In the next instant, his judgment was confirmed.
As the brush and the orange color fell, a vertical line suddenly appeared in the empty space in front of him. Then, it was cut open from the inside, and a head popped out.
It was the little person who had left.
It looked at Xu Qing and raised its hand to draw.
He actually drew a … sundial in front of Xu Qing!
Then, he gestured to Xu Qing to reverse the needle. After doing all this, his face was filled with anticipation.
This was obviously a test.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the brush and the orange color had already fallen. Xu Qing didn't have much time to think. His Space-Time Constitution suddenly erupted. He lifted his right hand and placed it on the sundial needle, suddenly reversing it.
This kind of reversal could not be achieved without the constitution related to time and space.
Only those who possessed the Space-Time Constitutions, or at least treasures with the Space-Time Constitutions, could fiddle with the Sundial.
In the next instant, as Xu Qing moved ….
Everything was reversed!
The falling brush and orange color suddenly retreated.
Seeing this, a look of excitement appeared on the little person's face.
"Son, you really are my son!"
Almost at the same time, the roar of the Great Demon King could be heard.
This roar carried some kind of astonishing power, directly shattering space and time, causing the sundial to shatter into pieces and collapse.
The brush and orange color arrived once again.
This time, the little guy didn't leave.
It laughed loudly.
"Haha, I'm not afraid."
As it laughed, its body appeared directly in front of Xu Qing, blocking the path between the Great Demon King and Xu Qing. Its expression changed from excitement to arrogance.
With one hand on his waist, a cloak had appeared behind his back at some point.
A sword also appeared in his right hand.
This sword was strange. There were many vertical lines around it, which seemed to indicate that this sword was shining with boundless light.
At this moment, the cloak on its body was also fluttering without any wind. Vaguely, there was also an impassioned melody echoing in the air …
Everything was telling him that … this villain represented justice!
"The glory of justice, shine upon my son!"
The small person said loudly. He raised the sword of light in his hand and slashed down at the void.
He had opened up the world with justice.
Then, it raised its chin and threw a jade slip made up of simple lines at Xu Qing as it spoke indifferently.
"Son, once you get out of here, you'll be able to escape the pursuit of the Great Demon King. From now on, you'll be able to roam the world as you please!"
Xu Qing took the jade slip, and without the slightest hesitation, his figure flickered as he shot toward the rift.
However, the moment he stepped into the crack, the tiny person's voice came from behind him.
"Let's go!"
"Since you insist on leaving, how can I make you stay?!"
"Leave. From today onwards, no one will care about you anymore. Whether you live or die, it's your fate …."
"From now on, you have to walk your own path …. When you fall, no one will help you up, pat your head with a smile, and give you encouragement."
"From now on, no one will protect you. You have to learn to protect others."
"From now on, you … have grown up."
"From then on, you stopped liking fairy tales …"
The little person was clearly smiling, but as he spoke, he began to cry …
The brush and orange light in the sky did not truly descend. The Great Demon King appeared in the sky and stared at all of this. The expression on his face was no longer one of anger, but of kindness.
In the end, a soft sigh echoed.
It was unknown whether it was the Great Demon King's voice, the little guy's voice, or the two voices combined to form a sentence.
"So, what is treason?
My son… "
......
The voice behind him gradually became indistinct, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
After entering the crack, Xu Qing's perception of the world changed.
There was height.
The world in front of him had become the world he was familiar with.
There were seven colors in the sky, and the spiritual energy in the surroundings surged. Immortal music could be heard in the distance, and the nearby Immortal Pavilion was dazzling with light.
This place … was the Immortal Palace!
As for Xu Qing's appearance, he was no longer a five-colored figure. He retrieved his corporeal body from time and opened his eyes.
This was the third level of the world.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and recalled his experiences in the first two levels. He had gained many insights, whether it was the essence of the two levels or the fairy tales hidden within.
First, there was Master Bai, and then there were the words he heard before he left.
Xu Qing was silent for a moment. He lowered his head, and a jade slip appeared in his hand.
This jade slip was given to him by that little person in the second level.
Originally, this jade slip had only been formed from the simple lines in the world of the second level, but now … in Xu Qing's hand, it gradually became taller and had a sense of touch. It gradually became a real jade slip!
Xu Qing scanned the jade slip with his divine sense.
There was nothing inside. It was just a blank jade slip.
He did not know why the other party had given this to him, and his thoughts returned to the words he heard before he left the second layer.
"The Great Demon King represents the Immortal Venerable, and this lowly one represents Aurora. On the surface, this is Aurora's rebellion, which led to the pursuit of the Immortal Venerable."
"But why do those final words express a different kind of meaning …"
"You give me the feeling that you're father and son."
Xu Qing fell silent.
"There must be other stories between Aurora and the Immortal Venerable. As for this jade slip, it shouldn't be simple to materialize from a low-level world."
After a short while, Xu Qing took a deep breath and was just about to put away the jade slip.
But at this moment, suddenly … a despicable voice came from the jade slip.
"Haha, son, you actually believed it?"
