Chapter 179: I Will Get Angry Oh~

Gu Luoxin almost dropped the little ancestor out of sheer shock. W–What the hell?! Why did they start fighting all of a sudden? Weren’t the two of them acting all cordial and chummy when they bullied the nightmare creature in the mirror earlier?!

There was no time to think. In a desperate attempt to stop them, he sprang forward and cried out, almost biting down on his tongue in the process. "D–Don’t fight, don’t fight! We can sit down and talk properly!"

Alas, his words fell on deaf ears as the two of them continued as if he did not exist at all.

Jin Jiuchi blinked, surprised that he was suddenly attacked out of nowhere. But he soon regained his composure and showed a thoughtful look. "It doesn’t seem like the first time I have heard this question. Nian’er has asked me the same thing, hasn’t he?" He tilted his head and flashed Noir with a sharp, almost mischievous grin that revealed his sharp canines. "But why should I tell you?"

Noir narrowed his eyes sharply, his usual languid and indifferent demeanor nowhere to be seen. He exuded a heavy aura from every inch of his body, so lethal that Gu Luoxin – who was not his target to begin with – felt his knees getting weak. This pressure... it was no joke at all! Even he had not sensed such force from Shen Nianzu before! Was this the strength of a top 30 player in the leaderboard?

However, much to Gu Luoxin’s dismay, Jin Jiuchi stood his ground evenly against Noir’s suffocating aura. Not only that, he even taunted the other!

"What’s wrong with you? Suddenly coming at me out of nowhere and provoking me into a fight, do you think my temper is that good?" He glowered, but then recalling something, he peeked through Noir’s shoulder and saw the open door ahead, which was connected to an identical hallway. "That’s right, did you guys come out from there? How did you find the right door— wait, did you just knock the door down? I will not be responsible for paying for the damage, okay?!"

Hearing this, Gu Luoxin almost kneeled down on the spot. Da Shen, could you please be serious for once? Can’t you see the throbbing veins on the Great God’s forehead? You even made such an aloof immortal angry ah!

Again, Gu Luoxin tried to chime in, though his tone was weak and breathless, "P–Please don’t fight..."

He fearfully peered up at Noir and his heart trembled when he saw the tense line on the man’s jaws, as though he was grinding his teeth to keep his patience. Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of a movement behind Noir’s back. He only had the time to shout, "Watch out!" when the next second, one half of a domineering bone wing grew out of Noir’s back, its sharp tip heading straight toward Jin Jiuchi’s face!

"Woah!" Jin Jiuchi tilted his head in reflex just in time for the tip of the wing to pierce into the wall beside his ear. Cracks spread on the wall where the small hole was, and Jin Jiuchi couldn’t help but whistle in appreciation when he saw this. He even made a grabbing motion and asked Noir in anticipation, "Can I touch?"

Noir replied in a deadpan tone, "Try it, and I will cut off your hand."

The wing was akin to a steel shield that separated Gu Luoxin from the two of them, and he could only see them through the gaps between the bones.

Gu Luoxin paled. Oh no, Noir... he couldn’t be serious about harming Jin Jiuchi, could he?

The smile on Jin Jiuchi’s face quickly faded, and his black eye gleamed with a sinister glint. The change was so swift, it was like the silly and easygoing Jin Jiuchi everyone knew was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was dominated with something darker, more malicious and wicked. "You really want to kill me? I will get angry oh~"

Without a word, Noir commanded his bone wing to repeat the same action. However, this time Jin Jiuchi agilely slipped away from his grasp and rolled on the ground, opening some distance between them. Noir turned to face him, expressionless, and his wing contracted and expanded with a creaking sound as if he was cracking his knuckles.

Looking at Noir’s back, Gu Luoxin threw all caution to the wind and grabbed hold of the man’s arm with all of his strength. "No!" He cried out, tears in his eyes. "Don’t fight him! He is Da Shen, our teammate!" He was so out of it that he blurted out the word ’our’, forgetting that Noir had never been a part of their group to begin with. Even though they had acted together today, this was more like the convenience of being in the same room and mission rather than true camaraderie. From the start, Noir had always acted on his own, at his own pace, without needing to care for anyone.

Even then, Noir still paused and tilted his head to cast Gu Luoxin a glance, and that alone was enough to make the hair on the back of his neck stand on the end. Then he heard Noir say, "He... is not a part of us."

Before Gu Luoxin could even make heads or tails of those words, Noir easily shook off his hand and flapped his wing. A wind gale rose around him and riding the momentum, he flew straight toward Jin Jiuchi!

Next, Gu Luoxin could only stare with his jaws agape as Noir and Jin Jiuchi were entangled in a fierce scuffle, causing the entire hallway to shake and the walls to collapse. Even though Noir had only let out one side of his wing, it was as if he had gained an extension of his limbs that could be used both to attack and defend against Jin Jiuchi’s assaults. When the distance separated them, Noir would use the lethal tip of his wing to attack Jin Jiuchi, and when Jin Jiuchi retaliated with kicks and punches, he would use his wing to shield his own body.

Gu Luoxin felt dizzy just by looking at their rapid offense and defense. They exchanged blows, yet at the same time it was also like they were dancing around each other, with their fluid and explosive movements.

The most shocking fact was that Jin Jiuchi was actually able to match Noir’s pace just fine despite not being in the top 50 rank in the leaderboard!

"Hehe..." Jin Jiuchi let out a chuckle as he leaned his head back to evade the bone wing, which grazed the tip of his hair. His eyes glimmered in fervent excitement of encountering a powerful opponent. "You’re not bad! Not bad at all!"

"You too," Noir replied smoothly.

Now they were even trading compliments?!

When Noir launched another attack, Jin Jiuchi swiftly somersaulted, using his hands as the pivot as he spun his body backwards, avoiding Noir’s punch by a hair’s breadth!

Noir’s fist ended up slamming into the ground and went through it, leaving a small hole.

"Oops," both of them exclaimed in unison.

Frowning, Noir pulled out his hand from the hole, and the next moment, he caught sight of Shen Nianzu who was engaged in a similarly heated battle.

The fight below halted upon hearing the commotion, and both Shen Nianzu and Lily raised their heads by reflex, meeting Noir’s stunned eyes.

For a while, only utter silence stretched in the air.

Until Jin Jiuchi snapped back to his senses and sprawled on the ground unceremoniously, almost stuffing his face into the hole. "Nian’er, Nian’er, you’re here! I have been searching for you everywhere!"

Shen Nianzu was shocked when he saw Jin Jiuchi— or to be exact, his different colored eyes. What had happened during the short time they were separated?!
