Chapter 91: The Brat Chased by the Divine Sword Pavilion's Sword Qi
"Wow! Sister is so cool."
Chu Chen clapped his chubby little hands and hopped around cheering.
Just as Chu Xin was about to speak, she couldn't help burping.
Though the burp wasn't loud, it sounded particularly resounding on the utterly quiet Divine Sword Mountain.
Run!
All the Heavenly Prides turned pale with fear and scattered in all directions.
Even the Twin-Headed Fire Boar King standing next to Chu Chen started to gallop away on its four hooves, trying to escape, but Chu Chen caught its short pigtail with his chubby little hands, preventing it from moving an inch despite its frantic efforts.
However, their worry was clearly unnecessary.
The moment the burp echoed, Chu Xin had already covered her mouth with her little hand.
Moreover, the Divine Rune character 'Sword' had already been completely absorbed and converted by the Divine Runes within her body, and even if she hadn't covered her mouth, no Sword Qi would have sprayed out.
Looking at the Heavenly Prides running off into the distance, Chu Xin pouted her lips and mumbled, "Am I, such a cute girl, really that scary? Hmph, annoying fellows."
"Sister, pry that big character off for me, I want to taste it too," Chu Chen waved his chubby little hands and shouted.
"Okay!"
Chu Xin nodded, turned back, reached out her little hand to press on the last 'Pavilion' character, and quickly pulled it out with Divine Rune gold threads.
After that, her small body landed beside Chu Chen and said, "Brother, open your mouth."
"Ah!"
Chu Chen obediently opened his little mouth.
Chu Xin stuffed the Divine Rune 'Pavilion' character into Chu Chen's mouth, and he immediately closed his mouth and covered it with his chubby hands, letting the Rune 'Pavilion' character burst forth with Sword Intent and Sword Qi inside his mouth to no avail.
Gulp!
Chu Chen swallowed the Divine Rune 'Pavilion' character, the rampant Sword Intent and Sword Qi raced through his body but failed to harm him in the slightest.
Once it reached his stomach, the Divine Runes inside him seemed to have smelled an extraordinary delicacy, frantically devouring the Divine Rune 'Pavilion' character and instantly converting it into pure Divine Rune Power.
Burp!
Chu Chen also burped, but no Sword Qi sprayed out.
He smacked his lips twice and grumbled, "Not tasty, no flavor."
As he said this, he patted the Twin-Headed Fire Boar King beside him and said cheerfully, "It's not as delicious as the big pig's meat."
The Twin-Headed Fire Boar King's body shuddered, a touch of grief and anger visible in all four pig eyes, but that was all.
Having witnessed these two little demons swallowing Rune Characters whole, it was scared senseless.
The terrifying Sword Intent, had it fallen on him, would have shredded him to pieces in an instant.
Yet these two little demons had actually eaten those Rune Characters; was this something humans would do?
It even suspected that these two little demons might be transformations of the Ancient Fierce Beast Taotie.
In the presence of such brutally fierce little demons, it didn't even dare to think of escaping now.
It could only hope that the little demons would grow tired of its flesh sooner and then set it free.
"However, it seems like there's a bit more of that golden energy, and my strength should have gotten a bit stronger," Chu Chen carefully sensed the Divine Rune Power within his body and his round eyes finally showed a hint of satisfaction.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just then, the entire Divine Sword Mountain began to shake violently.
"What's happening? Is the mountain collapsing?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, riding the Twin-Headed Fire Boar King, soared into the air, looking down at the trembling Divine Sword Mountain below with confusion in their eyes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The next moment, a sky-covering barrage of Sword Qi surged up from the Divine Sword Pavilion and shot towards Chu Xin and Chu Chen.
"Wow! Big pig, run fast."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen were energetically slapping the big pig heads of the Two-Headed Fire Swine King with their little hands.
Actually, without their reminder, the Two-Headed Fire Swine King was already scared out of its wits, and it turned around and ran away on a cloud of fire.
The Sword Qi, each strand made it shiver; as soon as the overwhelming Sword Qi got close, it was certain to die, without even a chance for rebirth.
The Two-Headed Fire Swine King was also quite shrewd, running towards crowded areas, wanting to use those Heavenly Prides to shield itself from the Sword Qi, scaring them into cursing while they dodged.
However, people soon realized that the Sword Qi seemed to have a mind of its own and wouldn't hurt the Heavenly Prides; it only chased after the two little troublemakers.
The Heavenly Prides looked at the siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, then at the bare plaque of the Divine Sword Pavilion, seemingly understanding something, and couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
"Sister, why is this Sword Qi always chasing us?"
Chu Chen turned around to look at the relentless and dense Sword Qi, asking with a face full of confusion.
"I don't know either."
Chu Xin turned around to look, her round eyes also full of confusion. She thought for a moment and uncertainly said, "Could it be because we're too good-looking? Daddy said that even the heavens are jealous of our looks."
"Mhm, mhm! It must be that." Chu Chen nodded vigorously in agreement and then sighed like a little adult, "Ah! Is there a fault in being too good-looking? But this has nothing to do with us. If anyone is to blame, it's Daddy for making us too good-looking."
Pfft!
Hearing the siblings' conversation, the Heavenly Prides couldn't help but burst into laughter.
These two little troublemakers must have been sent by the heavens to be comedians.
Long Shaoyu rubbed his forehead, looking rather troubled. He was now starting to second-guess his decision.
Was bringing these two troublemakers along a good or bad idea? Their ability to cause trouble was just as formidable as their strength.
"Big Pig, run faster, they're catching up, your butt's about to be pricked," Chu Xin's milky voice rang out again.
The Two-Headed Fire Swine King looked back at the Sword Qi catching up behind it, and indeed, they were almost upon it, causing its behind to clench and its speed to increase a bit more.
"Sister, should we fight them?"
Chu Chen suggested.
Chu Xin shook her head and said, "No, every strand of this Sword Qi is no weaker than a full-force strike from the Sect Master of the Domineering Sword Sect. We'd have to join forces to fend it off. But if we join hands, no one will be able to watch the Big Pig, and if it takes the chance to escape, we'll have no roasted pig head to eat in the future."
"That's true."
Chu Chen nodded as well.
Roar!
The Two-Headed Fire Swine King let out a roar, wanting to tell the two little demons not to worry about the Sword Qi, that it definitely wouldn't run, but was greeted by a slap from Chu Xin instead.
"Don't yell!"
Chu Xin fell into deep thought. She even used the Space Transmission Talisman on herself and her brother, as well as the Two-Headed Fire Swine King, for a short burst of intense teleportation, but the Sword Qi swiftly caught up once again.
To dodge the Sword Qi, they had to keep teleporting to very far places, but then they wouldn't be able to eat the fruits.
It was a pity that the Divine Sword Pavilion had a Guardian Formation and they couldn't get in; otherwise, they could hide inside the Divine Sword Pavilion. After all, the Sword Qi wouldn't be able to fly around indiscriminately inside the Divine Sword Pavilion, right?
Guardian Formation?
Chu Xin suddenly turned her head to look at the Guardian Formation of the Divine Sword Pavilion, her round eyes shining brightly. She patted the Two-Headed Fire Swine King's pig head and called out sweetly, "Big Pig, go over there."
Upon hearing this, the Two-Headed Fire Swine King immediately changed direction and galloped away.
"What are they trying to do?"
The Heavenly Prides saw the two troublemakers charging toward the Guardian Formation of the Divine Sword Pavilion and couldn't help but be stunned.
Before the troublemakers arrived, they had already tried attacking the Divine Sword Pavilion's array and prohibitions. Even with the combined power of all the Heavenly Prides present, they couldn't break through.
If the two troublemakers charged straight into it, they would not only be injured by the array's prohibitions but also lose the chance to dodge the Sword Qi, and would definitely be torn to pieces by the terrifying Sword Qi.

Long Shaoyu couldn't help but speak out to warn them. He still needed the siblings to fight for the Divine Sword Fruit; they couldn't just go and get themselves killed now.
But Chu Xin and Chu Chen ignored him, still driving the Two-Headed Fire Swine King, charging straight toward the Guardian Formation of the Divine Sword Pavilion.
It's over!
The Heavenly Prides sighed inwardly, some even closing their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
