Chapter 280 - The Second Coming

Ah Chun patted Shi Quan's body down and took his interspatial ring.  "Big Brother Xu, Thank you..." Ah Chun was glad that Xu Wei decided to follow her. She would never have known that the Mei Liling of this world had shared the same fate as her mother from her world. 

"Young Miss I am your contracted spirit beast. Anything  you need done, just let me know." Xu Wei's expressionless face showed a hint of a smile.

"Un! I promise when I am able to reach new heights I will allow you to see things beyond this plane!" Ah Chun now had a second goal to work towards. She now wanted to rescue the Mei Liling of this world. She had to reach the immortal realm as soon as possible. 

"Chun'er I finished burning the body." Xiao Feng flapped her little wings and landed on top of Ah Chun's head.

"Mmm. Thanks, Xiao Feng..." Ah Chun reached up and patted Xiao Feng's head. This startled Xiao Feng since Ah Chun had never done such a thing before. "Wh-What has gotten into you!?" 

"I am just glad the two of you are with me is all." She realized if it was not for Xiao Feng and Xu Wei she would not be able to do things as smoothly. She was taking it for granted. 

After a night of cleaning up the entire Heavenly Sword Sect from Heaven's Gate City, dawn rose ushering in a new day. Word spread quickly that the entire Heavenly Sword Sect had met with a bad end. When this entered Xia Yang's ears he could only let out a long sigh. When his disciples gathered to head to the tournament venue he saw that Ah Chun was acting like normal as if nothing had happened. But deep down inside he knew that Ah Chun was the one who made the cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect disappear.

Xia Yang was very happy that he never angered this little grand aunt to the point that she wanted to destroy the entire sect.  Even he did not know how strong Xu Wei was. He was a mythical beast with unfathomable cultivation. One that chose to stay in the Mortal Realm instead of heading to the Immortal Realm. 

It was finally time for the second rounds of the tournament. Ah Chun's stage gathered more people since the fight today was between Wan Tu a qi gathering poison user from the Healing Hands Sect and Ah Chun from the Jaded Dragon Sect who had beheaded her opponent in front of their sect master without any hesitation. Most were interested in how Ah Chun would deal with the issue and if she would also kill her opponent this time. 

Ah Chun stood on the battle stage looking at the young girl who seemed to be around fifteen years old. She was going through her mind trying to figure out the best way to deal with the poison in case she was afflicted by it. As she was pondering, the overseer finished his words and the match began. Ah Chun did not move at first, she wanted to observe the actions of the girl in front of her. But it seemed the girl had the same thought as she had seen yesterday's match and knew Ah Chun had made the first move.

As they stared at each other Ah Chun felt like that her spiritual qi in her body was starting to surge. It was as if she was about to breakthrough. She did not understand what was going on. She had only felt this way once since she was reborn and that was when the tribulation lightning was about to fall. Up in the stands watching over Ah Chun, Xia Yang felt the spiritual qi in the air start to fluctuate. He looked up into the sky and saw a mass of black clouds starting to form. Xia Yang's eyes widened as he remembered the time in the sect that the same thing had happened. 

"Not good!" He quickly set up a barrier around all the disciples from the Jaded Dragon Sect. This confused them but when they saw the anxious face of their sect master no one said a word and only looked in the direction that he was looking. Ah Chun looked up at the sky and frowned. "You pick now, of all times to do this!?" Ah Chun muttered as she sat down into a lotus position and started to cultivate. 

Wan Tu from the Healing Hands Sect was confused as to what Ah Chun was doing but then she saw a bright pink light shoot into the sky slightly blinding her. The light formed a small dome around Ah Chunin the shape of a pink lotus blossom. The clouds in the sky grew darker and expanded to cover the entire area of the venue. Everyone's eyes looked up into the sky. Even the ones in charge of the tribulation tournaments' faces paled as they saw the clouds overhead. Those of higher cultivation knew what was to come. Lots of sect masters and clan heads hurriedly set up barriers around the disciples who were in the stands near them. They did not dare get near the battle stages because what was coming would instantly kill them. 

A small pink transparent lotus covered Ah Chun and part of the stage. It seemed to stop short of those around her. The crackling of lightning could be heard across the area. Ah Chun sat motionlessly on the stage waiting for the tribulation lighting to fall. It seemed like time stood still as the lighting in the sky built up. Before a bolt of lighting the size of the tournament venue fell from the sky...
