Chapter 194: Strange Butterfly? Butterfly-Bird?

Xinghai City, Duodao Sea, a place rarely visited by humans.

Su Lingxue wore a tight-fitting outfit; this kind of attire made traveling easier.

At this moment, she was panting: "Ahead is Wangchuan Cliff. The strange butterfly must pass by Wangchuan Cliff when it carries pebbles to drop into the Duodao Sea. If we go there, we can see the strange butterfly."

"Fine."

Lin Chao looked up and saw a solitary cliff.

However, on the solitary cliff, he saw two figures, seemingly waiting for something.

Beside him, the young man who was the incarnation of Hong Yin leaned toward Lin Chao: "The two people on Wangchuan Cliff, one is Wang Guantian, the other is Wang Gui."

"Hmm." Lin Chao replied.

As for Su Lingxue beside them, she was just an Ordinary person; naturally, she could not see that there were people on Wangchuan Cliff whom she did not wish to meet.

Taking Su Lingxue with them, the group of three slowly walked toward Wangchuan Cliff.

Su Lingxue was panting, clearly lacking experience in climbing mountains.

"I will carry you over." Lin Chao spoke, his gaze clear.

A Third Tier Transcendental already possesses the ability to fly.

"……Okay." Su Lingxue hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Lin Chao waved his hand, and instantly a green mist wrapped around Su Lingxue, and the three flew toward Wangchuan Cliff.

At this moment, on Wangchuan Cliff, Wang Guantian wore a playful expression on his face.

"Young Master, Feng Yan and Su Lingxue have arrived, and there is one more person... I don't recognize him, perhaps he is a classmate of Feng Yan's from the Dark Light Academy." Wang Gui said softly from the side.

"Hmm." Wang Guantian stood up, "They have finally arrived."

And at this time, Lin Chao and the other two landed on Wangchuan Cliff.

The area of Wangchuan Cliff was not large, only about the size of a basketball court.

Precisely because of this, Su Lingxue easily spotted Wang Guantian.

"Wang... Young Master, why have you come here?" The shock in Su Lingxue's eyes flashed and vanished; she hid that trace of disgust.

Wang Guantian leaned over, a smile on his face: "I presume this must be the prodigy from the Dark Light Academy, Feng Yan, who practices the Ancient Method?"

Lin Chao glanced at Wang Guantian without responding.

He did not like people like Wang Guantian.

Wang Guantian was not surprised.

He had deliberately meddled with Feng Yan's trial; how could a prodigy like Feng Yan possibly give him a pleasant look?

If Feng Yan were practicing the New Method instead of the Ancient Method, Wang Guantian would have thought twice before tripping him up.

However, Feng Yan practiced the Ancient Method, and his path ahead was already exhausted.

Most importantly, Feng Yan's identity was the foster son of the Clone Jian Fang.

He had developed a grudge with that Jian Fang when she was in Jingcheng.

Naturally, he had no pleasant look for Feng Yan: "Actually, I admire Brother Feng Yan very much. I feel that Brother Feng Yan is very similar to the strange butterfly here.

The strange butterfly works day and night without rest, carrying pebbles to drop into the sea, as if it wants to fill the sea up.

It is a pity that after persisting for so many years, the Duodao Sea has not changed much.

Brother Feng Yan practices the Ancient Method, just like this strange butterfly filling the sea; there is no future, yet it is admirable."

It must be said that Wang Guantian's acting was very good; those who did not know would truly think he was lamenting Feng Yan's spirit of "doing what one knows is impossible."

Lin Chao's gaze was calm; he did not respond.

Beside him, Wang Gui took the opportunity to chime in: "This strange butterfly is simply the biggest sucker among all strange creatures."

Wang Guantian laughed loudly.

Beside them, Lin Chao ignored them and waited quietly.

Once he saw the strange butterfly, the trial would be considered over.

Lin Chao ignored Wang Guantian, but Wang Guantian kept chattering incessantly: "Does Brother Feng Yan know why I wanted you, wanted the Su Family, to take down the wings of the strange butterfly?"

"Oh?" Lin Chao's voice was somewhat impatient.

Wang Guantian did not mind: "This is because this strange butterfly is different from ordinary strange creatures.

Hundreds of years ago, my Wang Family predecessors passed by this place and discovered a flaw in this strange butterfly; its wings seem to be detachable.

At the cost of a great price, our Wang Family took down the strange butterfly's wings.

As a result, this strange butterfly was truly stupid; with its wings severed and blood spilling across the sky, it still stumbled in flight, not forgetting to carry pebbles to fill the sea."

Wang Guantian laughed loudly, looking at Lin Chao: "Brother Feng Yan, do you want to know how we took down the strange butterfly's wings?

Perhaps if you know, it will be of some help to you in completing this trial."

Lin Chao frowned; he did not know why, but he felt some discomfort and melancholy in his heart.

He did not reply.

"It seems Brother Feng Yan does not want to know." Wang Guantian continued, "However, I can give Brother Feng Yan a hint: as long as you make a sound in front of the strange butterfly, its defense will decrease.

Haha, even if we beat it desperately until it is covered in blood, it will not resist."

Of course, a strange creature is a strange creature after all.

Even though the strange butterfly did not resist, the Wang Family at that time still consumed many lives of their clansmen before they could take down the strange butterfly's wings.

Lin Chao gave Wang Guantian a cold look.

Wang Guantian did not mind and continued: "Sigh, I wonder if the strange butterfly's wings have fully grown back after so many years.

Can we use the same method this time to take off its wings?"

Lin Chao ignored Wang Guantian.

Just at this moment, Hong Yin's voice came through.

"The strange butterfly has appeared."

Everyone's gaze immediately looked over.

They saw, not far away, a graceful butterfly shadow appear.

Its appearance was small, flying in a stumbling manner, now high, now low.

In its mouth, it held a small pebble.

It seemed to know no fatigue, repeating the cycle over and over.

A look of greed appeared on Wang Guantian's face: "The strange butterfly has finally appeared; I must have its wings."

The crowd looked at the strange butterfly, different expressions flashing in their eyes.

And at this moment, Lin Chao was completely stunned.

"Butterfly... Butterfly Bird?"

The strange butterfly before his eyes gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

Its appearance was half identical to the Butterfly Bird.

The Butterfly Bird in the Wusheng Well was like both a butterfly and a bird.

The part that was like a butterfly was strikingly similar to this strange butterfly.

What is going on?

Is this the Butterfly Bird?

Or is it?

Lin Chao's inner thoughts were complex, many ideas flashing through his mind.

At this time, Hong Yin also noticed Lin Chao's abnormality and asked cautiously: "My lord, what is wrong?"

Lin Chao stared at the butterfly in the sky, his gaze not withdrawing for even a moment, as if he wanted to see the strange butterfly clearly to determine if it was indeed the Butterfly Bird.

At this time, his surging perception flowed toward the strange butterfly, and a familiar feeling slowly began to permeate.

And at this moment, the Butterfly Bird in the sky also seemed to sense something and paused for a moment.

Lin Chao could no longer hold back and whispered: "Butterfly Bird..."

He was ninety percent certain that this was the Butterfly Bird; even if it were not, it was inextricably linked to the Butterfly Bird.

At this moment, seeing that small butterfly, Lin Chao's nose felt sore, and he felt incomparably self-reproachful inside.

Back then, in Jiuzhou, the Butterfly Bird had fed him with its blood for nearly a thousand years just to trade for two years of life for him.

Yet the Butterfly Bird had become incomparably weak because of it.

After he died, what exactly happened to the Butterfly Bird?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Chao's mind.

His figure also instantly flew toward the Butterfly Bird.

Hong Yin was startled: "Be careful."

Wang Guantian wore a smile: "Brother Feng Yan, this is a butterfly, not a bird.

By the way, the strange butterfly's flaw is its wings; attacking its wings might injure it.

Look, when it flies, it is high and low; it is very obvious that there is a problem with its wings."

Lin Chao had no time to pay attention to Wang Guantian's words at this moment.

He looked at that strange butterfly, his heart aching incomparably.

He looked at the strange butterfly and reached out his palm.

The pebble in the strange butterfly's mouth slipped away at this moment, and its soft body landed in Lin Chao's hand, caught by him.

A familiar tactile sensation came, and Lin Chao felt both pleasantly surprised and heartbroken.

This was his Butterfly Bird!

This was his Butterfly Bird!

Only, the butterfly at this moment, lying in his hand, was like a wooden puppet, without any liveliness at all.

It was as if it had landed in Lin Chao's hand purely by instinct.

Lin Chao's powerful perception probed over, but the result was empty.

Inside the Butterfly Bird's body, there was no Spirituality at all.

This was normal; a Strange is no longer a living creature, so how could it have Spirituality.

Lin Chao's heart instantly had many guesses.

Back then, the Butterfly Bird gave him its wings, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to transform into a dragon.

And the strange butterfly at this moment had wings that had become its defect.

"Butterfly Bird... what exactly happened?" Lin Chao felt both self-reproachful and heartbroken.

The Butterfly Bird at this moment was clearly in a broken state.

What exactly happened to make it become like this?

Lin Chao's mind was in chaos, various emotions intermingling.

And not far away, Wang Guantian showed an excited expression: "Brother Feng Yan, how did the strange butterfly end up in your hands?

Could it be that you found other flaws in the Butterfly Bird?

Brother Feng Yan, could you tell me this flaw? My Wang Family will definitely reward you heavily and treat you as an honored guest!"

Wang Guantian was incomparably excited.

A Strange, once its Rule is found, can also be borrowed.

The Rule the Wang Family found only targeted the strange butterfly's wings.

If they found a flaw targeting the strange butterfly's entire body and could take the strange butterfly for their own use, refining it into a sacred artifact, then the Wang Family might even leap to become one of the Seven Great Families of Jingcheng, and one of the top three at that.

At this moment, how could he not be agitated?

It was just that Wang Guantian had no idea at all who he had offended with that one sentence!

"So it was your Wang Family that broke the wings of the butterfly bird?" Lin Chao's expression was cold and stern, his voice carrying intense killing intent.

Since arriving at Wangchuan Cliff, this was the first time he had spoken so much.

For some reason, a chill ran deep within Wang Guantian's heart.

"Brother Feng Yan, the wings of the strange butterfly are of great use, comparable to a Pseudo-Saint Artifact." Wang Guantian's voice lowered slightly.

"A Pseudo-Saint Artifact?" Lin Chao sneered, "Your Wang Family... has some nerve!"

Lin Chao was furious and felt extreme heartache.

His butterfly bird, which he held in the palm of his hand, had actually been coveted for its wings by someone.

Thinking of the butterfly bird's stumbling flight just now, he remembered several hundred years ago when the Wang Family had removed the butterfly bird's wings.

The butterfly bird must have been in so much pain.

"Brother Feng Yan... our Wang Family is not someone you can afford to offend." Wang Guantian's expression turned cold.

"Damn it!" Since coming to this world, this was the first time Lin Chao had been this angry, "You all deserve to die!"

His figure appeared on Wangchuan Cliff.

"So it was your Wang Family that plucked her wings?" Lin Chao held nothing back, and a powerful aura permeated from his body.

At this moment, his eyes were cold and ruthless, like a demon god.

Behind him, a ray of light flickered.

Half of Wang Guantian's palm was sliced open, blood flowing everywhere.

Wang Guantian screamed instantly.

Wang Gui was also shocked and furious.

"How bold!"

He wanted to speak, but was stunned to find that he could not move, nor could he utter a word.

What on earth was going on?

Was this Feng Yan really Feng Yan?

"Die!"

Lin Chao's expression was cold and stern, like a cold-blooded killer.

Rays of light flickered one after another, and Wang Guantian's arm was sliced off inch by inch.

Flesh and bone separated, a miserable sight.

Screams and cries of pain rose and fell continuously.

Lin Chao's heart remained unmoved.

He held the butterfly bird, his movements extremely gentle, yet the look he cast at Wang Guantian was icy, like a god of slaughter.

This cutting lasted for a full minute.

Wang Guantian's hands were long gone.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Chao, his eyes filled with terror.

Only when the cutting stopped could he speak normally.

"Feng... Feng Yan, what are you doing?

I am a member of the Kyoto Wang Family."

Lin Chao looked at Wang Guantian: "Walk slowly on the road to the Yellow Springs; I will make sure your whole family is reunited."

Lin Chao did not hesitate at all; he stepped onto Wang Guantian's chest and twisted with force.

Instantly, Wang Guantian's chest cavity collapsed, and his entire body turned into a pulp of flesh.

Nearby, countless rays of light flickered; Wang Gui had no ability to resist and died directly on the ground.

Not far away, Su Lingxue watched this scene, her expression shocked, unable to speak.

Wang Gui was a Fifth Tier Transcendental.

What was going on with Feng Yan?

Did he seem to know that strange butterfly?

He was only Third Tier, so how could he slaughter Wang Gui and Wang Guantian?

Having offended the Jingcheng Wang Family, what was to be done?

Her mind was in chaos, and she could not speak.

Having slain the two, Lin Chao's face still carried a murderous aura: "Hong Yin, I want the Wang Family exterminated!"

Beside him, the astonishment on Hong Yin's face flashed by.

This was the first time he had seen Lin Chao with such an expression.

Having spent so many years together, he had always felt that his master was like an emotionless robot.

Unmoved by external joys or personal sorrows, his expression would not change even if a mountain collapsed before him.

But at this moment, his master was angry, furious.

What was the relationship between that strange butterfly, or rather... the butterfly bird, and his master?

"Master, your subordinate will go and prepare at once." Hong Yin hurriedly agreed.

"Even if the people who did it back then are already dead, dig up their graves and scatter their ashes!" Lin Chao's gaze was icy.

"As you command."

At this moment, Lin Chao's gaze turned to Su Lingxue; Su Lingxue's body trembled slightly, her face caught between crying and laughing, not knowing what to say or how to respond.
