Chapter 1257 - 786: Astonishing the World · Unconventional_3

"Zz~zz!"

Lightning and thunder roared beneath Jing Chen’s hooves, as its body sharply tilted, darting nearly 50 meters to the left front.

"Crash!!"

Almost simultaneously, two thick blue currents sliced through the sky, shattering the spot where Jing Chen had been.

"Yirr!" Demon Emperor·Jade Tiger Roar wasn’t done with just that attack.

As lightning burst forth from its eyes, thunder flashed beneath its hooves, and its form suddenly darted forward.

In Du Yu’s line of sight, Zhongli Celestial Union rode the Demon Emperor·Jade Tiger Roar, closing in incessantly, the horse’s head crashing ferociously.

Du Yu swept his hand to the right: "Thunderbolt Charge!"

Indeed, Jing Chen obeyed, but its Cold Jade Level Demon Skill couldn’t outrun the Eternal Diamond Level Thunderbolt Charge.

"Oo~" Jing Chen cried out repeatedly, the Demon Breath Battle Robe buzzing, as its body flew sideways.

"You beast! I commanded you to stop!" Zhongli Celestial Union shouted angrily, watching the horse that flew horizontally, howling continuously.

Arriving from behind, Zhongli Baiyue’s pupils constricted.

She shouted in surprise, "Zhong! Li! Celestial! Union!"

Zhongli Celestial Union’s expression turned unfriendly, turning his head to his clan sister: "What?"

Zhongli Baiyue squeezed a sentence through her teeth: "Stop! Do you know who is on Jing Chen’s back?"

Zhongli Celestial Union furrowed his brow tightly, turning to look at the young man wearing a hat and mask.

Zhongli Village, nestled beside Fengyang City, drives away innumerable tourists and Demon Tamers annually.

What quality does this young man possess to make Bai Yue so nervous?

As Zhongli Celestial Union turned his head, he happened to see Jing Chen tumbling sideways in the air, its hooves chaotically stepping.

Once it steadied itself with great effort, it continued dashing forward.

Jing Chen’s goal never wavered; it refused to let anyone restrain its steps.

It knocked aside creatures in its path merely to keep running onwards.

Jing Chen doesn’t understand why this world has specially fenced areas to confine itself.

It doesn’t know why its race can enjoy leisure within the ranch.

It doesn’t know why strong members of its race always order it to remain obedient.

Why don’t its kind want to run?

Why don’t they want to see the outside world?

Jing Chen, at this moment, carrying Du Yu on its back, seemed as if it was bearing its own dreams, unwilling to pause.

"Jing Chen." Du Yu’s Demon Soul continuously connected with the steed beneath him, experiencing many emotions, "Some obstacles can’t be bypassed, you can’t lie to yourself."

Upon hearing these words, Jing Chen’s speed surprisingly increased as if silently rebutting.

Du Yu: "You can’t outrun the Demon Emperor; as long as it wishes to block you, it can always stand in your path forward."

"Lu." Slowly, Jing Chen slowed its pace.

"Some obstacles can’t be circumvented." Du Yu repeated his words, "Some challenges, you need to confront them.

You want to run, want to traverse mountains, cross rivers and seas.

This is your dream, right?"

Jing Chen halted its steps, quietly standing in midair.

Du Yu leaned down, his hand touching the silver mane: "So, running for you is not just an action, it’s a belief, right?"

"Lu."

"Since it’s a belief, then the premise of running is to stop fleeing, right?"

In the distant sky, Zhongli Baiyue and Zhongli Celestial Union’s gazes both focused.

Because beneath Du Yu, Jing Chen not only stopped unusually, but it also turned its head, looking toward the mounts of the two below.

Within the Celestial Horse Ranch, there are several Demon Emperor·Jade Tiger Roars.

Each one is disciplining Jing Chen, trying to make it obedient, to halt its steps, to learn docility, learn... conformity.

Every time, Jing Chen would escape.

Under the commands of powerful clan members, its body had to stay put.

But its spirit had already fled far away.

"Huff!!!"

And at the moment Jing Chen faced the Demon Emperor clan members, a fierce Thunder Demon Breath rippled from its body.

"Yes, confront it." Du Yu brushing the snow-white mane, gazing toward Zhongli Celestial Union’s position, whispered softly, "I’ll help you."

Just as the Golden Crow said, your body was ready long ago, only some suppressed your path, stifled your nature.

I’ll risk everything today, plead with Elder Zhongli, to get you.

You don’t belong here.

In this world, some creatures inherently stand out, never meant to be part of any group.

Since the sparrow doesn’t understand the aspirations of the great swan,

You,

Why should you conform?

...

Four thousand five hundred words, it’s the end of the month, asking for some monthly passes.
