Royal Dragon and Phoenix transmigrate to Earth

Chapter 456: Passing Out & Awakening

The 'herb root' of the level 3 tree was put to death even before having a chance to start a counter-attack, pierced through with Tianlong Yun saber.

If one looked closely at the handle of that saber, they would be able to read only two words in there, 'Life's Regret'! This was the sword he had taken from the inheritance of that mysterious cultivator.

He had never used it even once until now because there had never been an opportunity or a powerful enough enemy that forced him to use it.

This was the first time he had been forced to use, and also the first time that he met a true danger in this second life opportunity he had.

Until now everything had been going smoothly for him, even when the enemy was stronger than him, he would either find a way to escape or use some tricks to make up for the difference.

This was probably the first time he had no other choice but to face his enemy head-on and face such a hopeless situation where his life and death were the only options.

He had thought that this 'Life's Regret' would be difficult to use and that perhaps he would suffer some backlash from using it, but there was nothing like that at the moment.

In fact, it was easy, really easy to use. It felt like it was a part of his body, like a third hand, or a third leg, or a second head.

At the same time, it felt like something distinct and foreign, like something that had no relation or contact to him whatsoever.

It was truly weird, he had never felt something like that holding a weapon before. Still, the sharpness of the blade, the lightness it had, it felt like he was just swinging sharp air around himself.

The moment his 'Life's Regret' passed through the level 3 'herb root' though, he could feel that the pressure, space, and darkness in the surroundings were getting unstable.

Too bad that he wasn't able to witness what else happened, as at that moment he fell down on the ground unconscious.

It would have been truly great if there were no side effects to the use of the saber in his hands, but life was never that easy and beautiful.

You had to work hard if you wanted to enjoy the beauty of it, only good luck, and opportunity didn't make the cut.

While the 'Life's Regret' into his hands was an almost divine weapon, especially considering its perks, sharpness, and use, but it wasn't perfect.

Especially for someone with Tianlong Yun's strength, and cultivation, it was even more of a weakness than he could think.

But he wasn't able to think over this stuff anymore, as his consciousness didn't work anymore, and even his Soul Avatar had fallen 'asleep' to recuperate.

The last thing he could hear was Tianlong Hu Die scream 'Patriarch!' and then everything went black around him.

When he reopened his eyes, he didn't know how much time had passed, but one thing was for sure, the environment around him had turned dark once again.

It wasn't the same pitch-black darkness it earlier was, but it didn't differ much from it either. If he had to compare it, he would say that it was around 10% brighter.

Even though it didn't look like much, it was still a more than considerate fall in pressure that might prove really useful in the future.

Right now, he was resting on some soft, and silky cushion, and in front of his face was the worried face of Tianlong Hu Die.

She seemed to have truly been frightened earlier, and was still worried, despite confirming that her Patriarch was really fine at the moment.

Even though she had more important things to consider at the moment when Tianlong Yun fell unconscious, she placed everything to the back of her head, as she ran towards him.

To her, Tianlong Yun was the most important thing in her life, and not only hers! If something happened to him while she was with him, she was sure that her sisters wouldn't forgive her.

Tianlong Yun was the main point of living for many people around her, despite the way it had happened, her family seemed to have no meaning without him.

For that reason, she couldn't allow anything bad to happen to him, she was able to forget and throw away her existence, as long as he was okay.

When she saw him open his eyes, she didn't understand why but she was so happy that a few teardrops found their way through her eyes.

The teardrops trickled down her rosy healthy cheeks and then fell upon Tianlong Yun's face, startling him.

Until now he was thinking about what had happened earlier, how he had ended up where he was, the environment and the space around him, and had failed to understand what was going on around him.

Feeling those hot tears in his face, Tianlong Yun immediately focused his look on the face of the beauty that was holding him, and reaching with his hand he patted her silky hair and her jade-like face.

She was truly beautiful, her smearing hot tears made her even more beautiful to his eyes. She looked like a precious gemstone that he would never be able to forget.

He had to accept that in this second life opportunity of his he had truly been blessed with her presence and many others that weren't here by his side at the moment.

Thinking like this his mind started drifting far away, he started thinking about his ladies, Tianlong Xia, Tianlong Yue, Lu Bing, Hua Xi Yin, and many others.

Each one of them was really important to him, and he didn't want to lose any one of them, and even less to see them harmed.

If something happened to any one of them he would certainly make the entire world feel the consequences of that, without caring if what he was doing was right or wrong.

Then another hot tear woke him up of that, as he raised his head from Tianlong Hu Die's pillow thighs gave her a kiss in the forehead, and then lips as he said,

"Don't worry beauty, I am alright! I won't die so easily, you know that!"

After those words, Tianlong Hu Die started crying even more, and it took a while for her to calm down, and return to her natural cool, and calm condition.

But still, all this time Tianlong Yun couldn't believe that he had been so careless earlier, and had fainted due to such a stupid reason.

Why had he fainted!? Pretty easily actually, he had fainted due to massive loss of energy, he had been totally emptied of his Qi, Soul Power, and Stamina.

He had been completely dried off at that moment, while the saber was truly effective, and really useful, as any kind of energy flowed really smoothly through it, that was also a big problem.

In only those 7 or 8 swings, and one pierce he had been totally dried off of any kind of energy on his body.

As a matter of fact, he should feel lucky and thankful that it hadn't happened earlier than that, otherwise, he would be nothing short of a goner.

He should clearly be more careful from now on, as he couldn't afford for the same thing to happen again, this time he had been lucky, but the next one he might not be so lucky.

Anyway, that was something for the future, as right now there were a few more things he had to take care of, like for example the surroundings, and the situation at the moment.

After the 'kill' of the level 3 tree the pressure in the area had weaned off by quite a bit at first, and there were signs of light restoring in the place by more than 20%.

But that hadn't continued for long, as 10 minutes after the pressure started building up once again, and it was slowly returning to its original state, but at the end was still off by about 10%.

In other words, at the moment, there was a lower pressure outside the formation, and the surroundings weren't the same pitch-black color where they couldn't even see their hands and noses.

This reduction in pressure clearly helped Tianlong Yun's side, as now the army of disciples had it easier to keep the formations on and fight the level 1 and level 2 weak trees.

In fact, they had managed to harvest quite the haul until now, as everything seemed to be going just fine, the only problem at the moment was the inner fights about the harvest.

Hearing this Tianlong Yun had a weird face for a moment, as he continued to hear more about their current situation.

At first, everything had been peace and quiet, and there wasn't much resistance from the weaker level 1 and level 2 trees, but not long after suddenly the resistance peaked once again.

The strange thing was that now the trees seemed to have learned about their strategies, and formations, as they were using the soul attacks once again.

Not only that, but they were also more effective with their defenses and attacks, as they even seemed to enter formations while fighting.

Once again Tianlong Yun had a weird look on his face, but he guessed that this was also a good discovery because it showed that his reasoning was correct.

In fact, from now on he would have to tread even more carefully with his plans, and way of dealing with these trees, as one wrong step would send him to his death
