Chapter 1,296: Encounter with Darkness

Dongfang Ke'er, who was sleeping, had a red face that had become hot, as if her whole body was burning, making her struggle to wake up.

A pungent smell suddenly made her sneeze twice.

"A-choo!"

Dongfang Ke'er suddenly woke up, but the scene in front of her stunned her completely.

There were rattan and branches everywhere, which had already collapsed the City God Temple. The pungent smell turned out to be the blood of the people.

Those rattans pierced the people passing by and pinned them to the ground, and their deaths were horrible.

"This...?"

Dongfang Ke'er rubbed her eyes in disbelief, ran over quickly, squatted down, and pulled a man in a pool of blood with force.

"Wake up, wake up, uncle!"

She was really panicked. It was the first time she saw so many dead people, and her eyes were instantly wet.

At this moment, a messy sound of footsteps came from a distance.

"That monster is right in front!"

"Quick! Burn her to death, the tree monster must be afraid of fire!"

"I said this little beggar is not a good person, I didn't expect him to be a monster!"

The curse came from far away, and Dongfang Ke'er, who was about to go forward to greet him, suddenly froze.

Little beggar?

Hearing this name, Dongfang Ke'er's heart suddenly trembled. Since she walked out of the black swamp, people have been calling her a little beggar.

This name seemed to have become a name imposed on her by the world, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but associate it with herself.

Soon, a large group of people ran from the street with torches in front. When they saw Dongfang Ke'er's petite body standing in front of a piece of vines covering the sky, they quickly threw the torches in their hands one by one.

Hundreds of torches quickly enlarged in the depths of Dongfang Ke'er's pupils. The angry eyes of those people, with deep hatred and murderous intent, made her see through them instantly.

"Why..."

Dongfang Ke'er lowered her head, her little face was a little dry and red from the cold, without any expression.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed, and the torches flying towards her were all strangely fixed in mid-air.

"Look! She is really a monster!"

Some people didn't believe it at first, but when they saw this strange scene with their own eyes, their faces turned pale in an instant.

"Quick! Shoot her to death with arrows!"

The frightened people quickly picked up the bows and arrows used for hunting, pulled the bowstrings to the full, and aimed at the little girl who was bowing her head in the snow.

Whoosh!

A big man with big shoulders and waist loosened his fingers first, and the flying arrow flashed, and it actually penetrated Dongfang Ke'er's spiritual power directly.

"Ah!"

Dongfang Ke'er screamed, and her petite body was directly pierced by the flying long arrow for a distance, and fell on a thick vine.

The cold arrow pierced her shoulder, and the blood flowed down, turning the snow red.

"It hurts, it really hurts." Dongfang Ke'er's little face was crying, and she raised her head innocently.

It's not that she didn't have the power to kill those people, but she didn't want to hurt others.

However, her kindness did not make those people restrain themselves. Instead, after seeing that the arrows could hurt her, the others became more excited.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!

Hundreds of arrows finally flew over densely in Dongfang Ke'er's terrified eyes.

...

The arrows that were enough to pierce her into a hornet's nest were all suspended in the air when they were less than three meters away from Dongfang Ke'er.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Hundreds of flying arrows in the air exploded into a thick smoke in an instant, and at this moment, a man in a black robe suddenly fell from the sky.

"Strange, monster!"

People in the distance were scared to death after seeing the man's back, but when they were about to turn around and run away, an invisible force instantly fixed them in place.

Dongfang Ke'er endured the severe pain in her shoulder and raised her clear eyes slightly.

The man looked only in his twenties and looked pretty good, but there was an indescribable weirdness between his eyebrows.

"Big brother, you saved me?" Dongfang Ke'er asked in a daze.

"Ah~ I guess so." The man grinned, and his gloomy face instantly revealed an extremely weird look.

But he was Dongfang Ke'er's savior, so Dongfang Ke'er was not afraid, but raised her head pitifully and asked him: "Big brother, what did I do wrong? Why did those people want to kill me?"

This question has always been in Dongfang Ke'er's heart, lingering.

She just wants to go home and recognize her relatives. What does such a thing have to do with those people?

The black-robed man raised his hand, and a soft green light suddenly wrapped around Dongfang Ke'er's injured shoulder. In a short while, the cold arrow was melted in the light, and even the blood hole on her shoulder was healing strangely.

Looking at this bizarre scene in shock, Dongfang Ke'er looked up in a daze.

The man stared at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "You are not wrong, those people are wrong!"

"They are wrong?"

"Yes! Because their lives are miserable, and you appear in front of them at this time, wanting to go to the Dongfang family to recognize your relatives. At this time, do you think they will tolerate you?"

Hearing the man's words, Dongfang Ke'er's eyes widened: "Why can't they tolerate me? I still don't understand."

"Stupid!" The man suddenly said with a sharp look: "Because you want a rich life, but they will never get such a life, so, what you can't get, others can't get it either!"

When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, almost knocking down Dongfang Ke'er, who was only six years old.

Seeing her disheartened look, the man raised a wicked charm at the corner of his mouth and continued: "Humans are like this. If you don't want to be bullied again, if you want to be recognized and respected by others, you can only become strong, stronger than anyone else!"

"If you want to be recognized... you have to become stronger than anyone else..."

Repeating this sentence repeatedly with a dull look, Dongfang Ke'er suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable force in her body, which was rapidly expanding.

Angry.

Such emotions finally appeared in her heart for the first time in her life!

"Ah——!"

Dongfang Ke'er finally shouted to the sky, and the vines behind her, as if they had regained vitality, turned into streams of light in an instant, directly tearing the people in front of them who were unable to move into a miserable blood mist in an instant.

"The power of God... is really interesting."

The man sneered with his hands behind his back, looking directly at Dongfang Ke'er: "You, want to gain power?"

"I do!"

"Then follow me." The man waved his sleeves, and the space beside him suddenly split into a dark crack connecting the sky and the earth.

"The sky... is torn apart?!" Dongfang Ke'er half opened her mouth, eyes wide open in shock: "Big brother, I don't even know your name yet."

The man who walked towards the space crack paused, and a cold voice, only two simple words, sounded.

"Luo Xi."
