Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Chapter 2: Little Devil, Hide Behind Me
slam-la-

A cold wind blew between heaven and earth, and the rain became heavier, like a long river hanging from the sky, falling on the earth.

"It is raining again."

Lan's clothes and hat were soaked by the rain.

It always rains every time we go on a mission.

This time is no exception.

Lan put Qian Renxue on the ground.

Qian Renxue slowly closed her eyes.

It looks like he followed his own advice.

One death is better than two.

Many images flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.

She is the daughter of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and her grandfather is one of the three greatest Douluo on the continent. He was born standing on the top of a mountain.

But her childhood was not complete.
It could even be called darkness.

She was given high expectations from the moment she was born. Her father and grandfather were very strict with her. Until now, Qian Renxue still has no friends of her own.

And her biological mother had never taken the initiative to talk to her. She could feel that when her mother looked at her, she was disgusted and disgusted...

She didn't know what she had done wrong to make her mother so unhappy.

She always tries her best to make her mother happy.

But the reality is very cruel.

No matter how hard she tried,

The only response she got was always a cold word from her mother.

roll.

But until now,
She is just an eight-year-old child!
At this moment,
A hint of relief actually flashed through the young Qian Renxue's heart.

think carefully,

Maybe death isn't so scary after all.

but,

When did I stop fearing death?

While Qian Renxue was thinking,

She felt a sudden pain in her head.

"Don't be distracted, kid."

"Hide behind me."

Lan's voice rang in Qian Renxue's ears.

However, this time Lan's voice was not as cold as before.

Qian Renxue covered her head and looked at Lan's back.

What does he mean by this?
Before Qian Renxue could figure it out,

The ghost tiger has launched its final attack!

I see,

The ghost tiger's huge body became blurry and illusory, and instantly split into three.

This is Ghost Tiger's innate soul skill, Shadow Clone!

Three ghost tigers attacked Lan together, with terrifying pressure running rampant!

Lan's expression remained calm. He slowly raised the shark blade in his hand, quietly feeling the torrential rain raging between heaven and earth.

"Hoohoho!!!"

Three ghost tigers leaped high into the air and rushed towards Lan with their bloody mouths opened.

Qian Renxue looked at the indifferent Lan, her little hands nervously clenching the bloodstained hem of her skirt.

Lan's words just now kept echoing in her mind.

at this time,

Lan moved.

He raised the shark blade, and a water blue shark suddenly jumped out from behind him. The shark opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp teeth instantly pierced through the ghost tiger's body!

The ghost tiger's eyes dimmed instantly.

Time seems to have frozen,

The rain stayed in the air.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief, and her purple gemstone-like eyes imprinted this scene deeply in her mind.

thump!
The ghost tiger's body fell to the ground.

A black ten thousand year soul ring emerged from the ghost tiger's body.

Along with it, there was actually a ten thousand year old soul bone!
This surprised Lan very much.

Lan put the ten thousand year soul bone into his pocket, and the shark martial spirit behind him dissipated.

It was the rainstorm that helped him.

Otherwise, he would not be able to kill this 50,000-year-old ghost tiger with one blow.

Looking at the fallen ghost tiger, Qian Renxue's heart was in suspense again. Before she could speak, Lan's voice came.

"You go."

"Before I change my mind."

"I won't leave." A look of determination flashed across Qian Renxue's tender face: "If I don't die, big brother's mission will fail and he will definitely be punished..."

"How about you join our Spirit Hall, big brother?"

"Our Spirit Hall is one of the most powerful forces on the continent. With my father and grandfather here, no one will bully you..."

Qian Renxue tries to persuade Lan to join the Spirit Hall.

But the only response she got was still a single cold word.

go.

A tear fell from the corner of Qian Renxue's eye, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

She didn't even cry when she faced death just now.

But one word from Ke Lan completely broke her heart.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue took out a small knife and put it on her neck.

Lan looked calm after seeing this, "You want to threaten an assassin who wants to kill you with your own life?"

"What a stupid thing to do."

Hearing Lan's words, Qian Renxue smiled slightly, "An assassin let his target go."

"Isn't this even more stupid?"

Lan was silent.

The sound of raindrops around them was getting louder and louder, even drowning out the voices of the two people.

Lan looked at Qian Renxue, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"I have killed many people, many, many people"

Qian Renxue shook her head, "I'm not afraid."

"Big brother didn't kill Xiaoxue."

"Xiaoxue can feel that big brother is just like Xiaoxue."

"What's the same?" Lan asked.

“I am equally afraid of being alone and of not being able to see freedom.”

Qian Renxue's voice echoed quietly in Lan's mind. He couldn't imagine what kind of grief and despair the little girl in front of him had experienced to make her say such words.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue exerted a little more force with the hand holding the knife, and the tip of the knife cut Qian Renxue's white neck, and bright red blood flowed down the blade.

"Xiaoxue doesn't want to see big brother being punished when he returns, and doesn't want to lose big brother, even if it means sacrificing her life."

The scene seemed somewhat dreamy.

It has only been half an hour since the two met.

But she could have given her life for him.

Lan is also a person in the dark.
He could understand.
If people live in endless darkness for a long time, as long as there is light, even a ray of light, they will chase after it and grab it regardless of the consequences, even at the cost of their lives.

But what he didn't know was,
The moment he decided to give up the mission and stand in front of the girl, he had become a ray of light in the girl's dark world.
Lan took a step forward and his body instantly moved behind Qian Renxue.

He knocked Qian Renxue unconscious and placed her next to a big tree.

Qian Renxue leaned quietly against the tree, with two undried tear marks on her dirty face.

Lan gently wiped the stains off Qian Renxue's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile from the heart.

"Little ghost, live well."

“It will protect you.”

Lan placed the shark blade in his left hand on Qian Renxue's hand.

He stood up and walked slowly into the distance, the blue scarf around his neck fluttering in the wind in the rainy night.

His life has been shrouded in darkness.
But her life shouldn't be like this.

Little devil,

I hope you can live well with my freedom.

...............

"Big brother... Big brother... No, don't leave Xiaoxue!"

Qian Renxue suddenly sat up from the bed.

Her breathing was extremely rapid; she had just had a dream.

A dream about sharks.

In the dream,
Qian Renxue was drifting alone on the boundless ocean. Countless sea soul beasts wanted to eat her, but whenever her life was in danger, there would always be a shark that stood up, stood in front of her, and drove away all those who wanted to hurt her.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

"Go and inform His Holiness the Pope that the young master has woken up."

On the side, two middle-aged men looked very excited.

They were Snake Spear and Thorny Porpoise, the two men responsible for protecting Qian Renxue.
