Heavenly Star (Web Novel)

It was as if Chu Jingtian had heard the most beautiful voice on earth, he hurriedly turned around and stopped thinking of anything else. Those shadows of swords disappeared suddenly without a trace as well, there was a blue arc emitted from the Cangming arc and retreated back into the scabbard behind him.

Chu Jing quickly ran to the edge of the cliff, and when he just approached, a black figure rushed in front of his eyes, turning over his body, and landed behind him. It was…Leng Ya who fell into the Luochen Lake after being injured by Yan Zheng!

The appearance of Leng Ya had condensed the whole atmosphere, even the wind seemed colder. His eyes which were filled with suspense suddenly turned into extreme horror.

Chu Jingtian didn’t have the mood to detect the sudden change of the atmosphere. He turned around and ran to Leng Ya. Then, he almost jumped out of excitement, “Ice face, it turned out to be you. And you’re fine! That’s great! I thought…I thought…oh! What happened to your eyes? Your eyes!”

It seemed that Chu Jingtian was stunned by the eyes of Leng Ya, he noticed the eerie change of the atmosphere. He was the one who’s the closest to Leng Ya, and he felt a sudden surge of coldness, making him want to retreat and get farther away.

Leng Ya was soaked all over, his hair, mouth, and chest were stained with blood that was not washed away in the water. And his eyes…those could no longer be described as eyes. At least, they were not a pair of human eyes, but those of a beast…wait, a beast wouldn’t even have horrible eyes like that…they would rather believe that those eyes belong to a demon.

There were no pupils, no white parts, only redness in the whole area, the two bloody pupils emitted a red light like a devil…and a disgustingly bloody smell.

“…you…what happened to your eyes…” Chu Jingtian knew that his teeth were trembling, even he was shivering when he uttered every word.

“Give that to me…” Leng Ya was expressionless, and his bloody eyes were staring at the stunned Yan Zheng, the broken wind blade held by his right hand was continuously releasing a flashing green light, drops of ice-cold water ran along the blade to the tip, then to the ground.

“Ah…alright.” Chu Jingtian almost nodded subconsciously and quickly stepped back in suspicion. He knew the nature of Leng Ya, from his tone, no one would reject his order. The current state of Leng Ya also gave him an extra layer of pressure.

“Blood kills the devil pupil!” In the faint wind, finally, someone shouted a name that swayed in their hearts with a low voice and affirmed the terrible assumption in their hearts.

The pair of eyes… the name that gives people goosebumps…a bloody disaster has already become inevitable. If it’s not him, it would be somebody else.

Chu Jingtian returned to Yan Tianwei, and they haven’t recovered from the shock. When they heard the voice next to their ears, he murmured to himself, “blood kills the devil pupils? What’s that?”

“Blood Kills the Devil Pupils is the name of eyes of a demon. As early as three thousand years ago, this pair of eyes created a murderous madman whom no one dared not touch. Seven hundred years ago, there was another Blood Kills the Devil Pupils, also someone covered in blood all over his body.” When looking at the figure of Leng Ya, Yan Qinghong frowned and said.

“Well…Is it possible that even Ice Face has…no, his eyes are not like that, they didn’t use to look like that.” Chu Jingtian shook his head since he couldn’t believe it at all, he was full of complex emotions.

“These Bloody Pupils only appear when a person’s murderousness expands to a certain extent. Usually, this person looks just like an ordinary one, but since he possesses a pair of bloody pupils, he would release a sense of murder that’s several times more than an ordinary person. Ordinary people don’t like the blood that much, and have a natural resistance to killing, but one who has a pair of bloody pupils is born to kill. Even after their first time of killing, they don’t have any discomfort or fear afterward. He’d be granted the best moment to kill once his bloody pupils are stimulated. And such a strong sense of killing can only fade away after he kills someone. Then, his eyes will resume to normal…whenever the bloody pupils appear, that’s his strongest moment, whoever stands his way will get killed!”

Chu Jingtian, “!!!”

Yan Qinghong glanced inadvertently upward and whispered, “the master is really knowledgeable. His eyes have really turned into bloody pupils.”

“Master? Did brother Ye already know?”

“No,” Yan Qinghong shook his head, “the master only made a guess before. That’s because a person is born with his talents, and his Qi is also born with, but a person’s sense of killing is usually acquired later in life. When the master first met Leng Ya, he thought that Leng Ya was not so experienced in all areas and he acted quite naïve. Although he hated his father, there was no way Leng Ya wanted to kill him. However, his sense of killing was so prevalent that it had surpassed his strength, which made the master so confused. Then, out of an occasion, the master heard about the story of bloody pupils, and he had been paying attention to that ever since. The master’s scope of knowledge is really impressive, and no one knows better than he does…the usually arrogant Leng Ya was beaten by Yan Zheng, who wanted to get rid of him altogether by throwing him off Luochen Cliff. Then, Leng Ya, whose anger and sense of killing was triggered by this insult, reappeared with these bloody pupils!”

“This should be one of the reasons why the master does not let us intervene in any way. Although Leng Ya is strong, he has no advantages in positive confrontation. At this Magic Martial Arts conference, he might as well attract people who wanted to get rid of his power…all these had long been expected by the master. The master had said that his sense of killing and talents would make him a horrifying murderer one day. And I think he’s right.” Yan Tianwei continued.

“A person who can be recognized by the master will never be a simple one.” Yan Gongluo exclaimed, and looked at Chu Jingtian with admiration, then turned his eyes back to Leng Ya. The sense of killing was so imminent that it could make any strong person shiver. He only realized today that even a human being could be this scary, he believed strongly that this sense of killing alone would be enough to kill lives.

The bloody pupils slowly opened, making dozens of hearts began to violently beat. Even the clouds started to turn chaotic, and gradually, they have become a sly devil’s face…

The aim of those bloody pupils was fixed on one person, making this senior from the Northern Emperor sect’s heart and eyes twitch and shrink, just like being eaten alive by a demon.

“Young master, this person…”

“We’ll see.”

“Are we going to watch senior being…”

“You mean, our senior will die in his hands?” Yan Ximing asked deeply.

“That’s true…according to the tale, once the bloody pupils are opened, someone has to die. If it’s not him, then it’s someone else. The senior is now in a critical injury, and that person…master, from his sense of killing, you should know how horrifying he is by now! He is completely different now, even if the senior has fully recovered, he will no longer be able to fight back.”

Yan Ximing’s brows were getting tighter and tighter, and they were locked together. Yan Zheng fought heavily as he wanted to destroy Leng Ya, he’d never have expected that Leng Ya would come back under this state, his shining eyes with a blinding bloody light. If everything happens according to what they’ve said, then Yan Zheng would surely be killed today. If Yan Zheng chose to surrender, the “perfect image” that the Northern Emperor sect has shown all along would undoubtedly be damaged. His father Yan Duanhun and everyone from the sect would object.

“It is really worth coming today. The Tianchen Magic Martial Arts Conference is much more interesting than I thought. Over these years, I’ve always underestimated the masters in the world, and unexpectedly…I was really too short-sighted. I am not sure if father would regret not coming if he knew about it.” Yan Ximing said slowly.

“Young master, that’s not the case. Even I have rarely seen someone like the man named Leng Ya and the descendant of the Sword God. If there is another one appearing on the big Tianchen continent, it would be a long time after. The young master, don’t worry about it too much.”

Yan Ximing didn’t speak any further, he had always believed that among the young generation, except Shui Wuque from the Southern Emperor sect, no one was even similar. And today, the appearance of Chu Jingtian and Leng Ya together were entirely shocking to him. In the almost condensed air, he slowly uttered these words, “do not move!”

.

The surrounding world became horrifyingly cold and quiet. It was even difficult to speak. Yan Zheng slowly got up from the ground, and he had unbearable pain all over his body. He hoarsely said, “I wanted to take away your life, and now, you just want to do the same to me…unexpectedly, I have just called and awakened the legendary bloody pupils. Seven hundred years ago, the same bloody pupils even hurt the leader of the Northern Emperor sect. If I have the honor to be killed by the bloody pupils, I’ll have no regrets in my life!”

His words meant that even if he had to sacrifice his life, he wouldn’t choose to run away from Leng Ya. The dignity of the Northern Emperor sect was more important than his own life. One can see how sensitive this pair of devil pupils are to the smell of death. However, he had never expected to encounter such an incident on the martial arts conference.

Pu!!!

Without warning, Leng Ya’s right hand slammed up, and the Broken Wind blade drew a line like a meteor across the sky. A scream rang in the ear and pierced into people’s heart, giving everyone a sense of horror.

The right hand of Leng Ya, originally let down, raised in the air again. From the position where he started to raise it, they seemed to have spotted a slightly invisible line, as if…the space was cut open and a crack was formed.

“It’s so strong…no wonder they’re the bloody pupils!” Yan Tianwei shouted in his low voice, and his face showed horror.

“Indeed. It’s incredibly fast his time!” Yan Gongluo said.

“No, it’s not fast…Yan Zheng, he’s already dead.” Yan Qinghong said in a cold voice that had stunned Yan Gongluo. What’s the terrible result created from the sword of Leng Ya? In the martial arts conference, only him, Yan Qingping, Yan Tianwei, Yan Duancang would know clearly about what had just happened. For the others, they would at most be shocked by the speed of the sword and the tearing force of Leng Ya, and they would never know that…
