55: As long as he kills enough people and kills fast enough, no one can stop his path to invincibility!

The scorching sun slowly rose from the horizon, a brilliant ray of sunlight landed, and the mountain range lying across the earth gave birth to endless vitality.

Dewdrops rolled on the emerald green leaves, shimmering with seven-colored light under the sun's illumination, a scene of vibrant life.

Deep within the vast mountain range, even after the night receded, the roars of Yao Beasts still echoed intermittently.

Shen Tianxing, carrying two plump rabbits, quickly returned to the cave he had been in earlier.

Hm?

Just outside the cave, Shen Tianxing already heard faint crying coming from inside.

"The girl is awake!"

Shen Tianxing quickly walked into the cave.

He had been gone for three hours, first to check the nearby mountains for any demons or ghost Cultivators following him.

Although the probability of this was very low, given that his cultivation had already reached the Zizai Realm Seventh Level, to evade his Divine Soul perception would be impossible unless it was a Xiaoyao Realm Master.

But he still had to be careful; demons and ghost Cultivators were very rampant now, and he had just killed a Nether Moon Sect Prodigy, so his situation was actually very dangerous.

Secondly, he needed to find something to eat.

Compared to the former, this point was not as important.

Entering the cave, Shen Tianxing immediately saw Su Mingyue in the corner of the cave, near the bonfire, hugging her knees, curled up and crying softly, tears falling like broken pearls.

Looking at Su Mingyue, who was like a wounded small beast, her whole body exuding fear and helplessness, Shen Tianxing sighed softly, a trace of heartache and tenderness appearing on his face.

She had just lost her father, and after waking up, she didn't see him either. How could an ordinary girl bear such inner fear?

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Look what I brought back for you?"

Hearing the gentle voice next to her ear, the softly crying Su Mingyue's delicate body trembled. She lifted her pretty little face, her tear-streaked countenance like a pear blossom bathed in rain, with tears hanging in her watery eyes, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, who, though still a bit green, showed a sharp edge in his brows.

"Tianxing Gege!!!"

At this moment, the fear and helplessness that had been swirling in her heart burst out like a breached dam.

The softly crying Su Mingyue was now in tears, her exquisite and graceful body, like a swallow returning to its nest, directly threw herself into Shen Tianxing's arms, burying her small head deep into his chest.

It was too sudden!

Shen Tianxing still held two rabbits in one hand, and feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms, he was somewhat at a loss.

She's grown up!

The little girl who used to follow him was now a graceful young woman!

Shen Tianxing had been in this world for five years. Su Mingyue was just a child back then, only eleven or twelve years old.

Now, she was tall, with a face like the bright moon, exceptionally beautiful, and her snow-white skin was like solidified white jade, showing no trace of her years of labor.

Her tall figure was as slender as a willow, and even dressed in coarse linen, it could not conceal her perfect form.

"Alright, alright, Tianxing Gege is here, don't cry anymore!"

"Wuwu... I thought you didn't want me anymore!!!"

Su Mingyue cried in Shen Tianxing's arms, her voice tinged with a hint of fear.

When she woke up, she didn't see Shen Tianxing, and thought he had left.

Having just lost her father, would even Tianxing Gege abandon her?

At that moment, she was truly helpless and afraid.

Fortunately, Shen Tianxing returned!

"Silly girl, how could I not want you!!"

Shen Tianxing took a deep breath.

Su Mingyue was very important to him, extremely important!!

For five years, she had followed him. Even when he inherited the Executioner profession and the neighbors feared and distanced themselves from him, only she remained steadfast.

She even risked her life to gather Spirit Medicine in the towering mountains to help him increase his Qi and blood.

With such deep affection, he was not a cold-blooded animal; how could he ignore it?

The two plump rabbits silently dropped to the ground. Shen Tianxing gently embraced the delicate body in his arms, holding her close, unwilling to let go in the slightest.

"Silly girl, with Tianxing Gege here, no one will ever bully you again!"

Shen Tianxing stroked the girl's hair in his arms, speaking very softly.

Although his current strength was only in the Zizai Realm, not considered a strong expert, and even a casual Xiaoyao Realm Master would be difficult for him to resist.

However, his eyes were full of determination.

His Dao of Cultivation relied on killing!

As long as he killed enough, and killed fast enough, his path to invincibility would be unstoppable!

By then, let alone a Carefree Realm, even Divine Profound Realm and Soul Palace Realm Masters would not be in his eyes.

He would protect the girl in his arms for this lifetime!

"Tianxing Gege..."

The girl raised her delicate, clear face. Although her eyes were still red, her original panic and unease had largely dissipated.

"As long as you don't drive me away, I am willing to stay by your side forever!"

No one knew that ever since she first saw Shen Tianxing five years ago, Su Mingyue's heart had been filled with his image.

Five years, never leaving his side!

The firelight flickered gently in the cave. Shen Tianxing said nothing more, but held her tightly, letting her feel his presence.

Shen Tianxing's heart was also filled with continuous thoughts and ripples.

He had been in this world for five years, and Su Mingyue had always been with him.

He wasn't made of wood, so how could he not feel the girl's intentions?

To say he had no good feelings for such a gentle, kind, yet strong-willed girl would be impossible!

Grrr... A strange sound echoed. Su Mingyue paused slightly, then her delicate little face flushed slightly.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat something first!"

Su Mingyue's mind was currently traumatized, and she had experienced many hardships along the way. Her body was weak. The two plump rabbits, which absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and had no Demonic Qi, were pure energy, most suitable for her to eat.

"Tianxing Gege, let me help you."

Su Mingyue had followed Old Man Su up the mountains to gather Spirit Medicine since she was young, and had been in all sorts of harsh environments, so she was naturally skilled at these things.

Shen Tianxing didn't stop her. He moved some dry firewood to the campfire.

After a night, there was only a small flame moving in the campfire, and the charcoal was dark red. With some dry firewood, the fire quickly reignited.

As the bonfire burned, the two cleaned rabbits were placed on the grill, and Shen Tianxing began to roast them.

Sizzling oil dripped, and the rich aroma of meat began to waft out.

Su Mingyue watched Shen Tianxing's profile from the side, and her originally sorrowful mood gradually eased.

"If I could always watch Tianxing Gege like this, and live a peaceful life, it would surely be very happy, wouldn't it?"

Unfortunately, it was not possible for now!

Su Mingyue could not forget the blazing fires of Tianyuan City, the endless wails, and the blood that stained the earth like a curtain!

She could not forget her father's death even more!

At this moment, she seemed fragile, but her heart grew even stronger!
