Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 150 - 151: Being Hunted

Why,

Why would the members of the Divine Punishment Sect appear here?!!

The black-robed members of the Divine Punishment Sect quickly charged into the fleeing crowd,

Watching as the soldiers who fought against them fell one by one under the Holy Church’s merciless blades! Watching as one familiar noblewoman after another had their hearts pierced! Watching as her playmates from the past fell one by one into the hands of those cruel black-robed men...

Xingya’s heart was gradually consumed by fear, as if the claws of a ghost from the abyss had firmly grasped her, dragging her step by step into an endless, despair-filled quagmire.

Although she appeared somewhat arrogant in her daily life, Xingya was, after all, just a twelve-year-old child,

Protected every day within the count’s mansion, she, who was unaware of the world’s affairs, could hardly bear the horrifying oppression brought by the Divine Punishment Sect. It could even be said that she had never seen blood before, let alone witnessing the cruel deprivation of living lives before her eyes...

Watching the cruel scenes unfolding before her,

Hearing the screams of servants and past companions, Xingya’s tears fell uncontrollably from her face like broken pearls...

"Woo...woo...Mama, where are you?!"

On the verge of collapsing from the thick murderous atmosphere around her, Xingya couldn’t help but wail, constantly calling for her mother, the countess, Diana.

However,

When the members of the Divine Punishment Sect charged towards them, Diana had already been separated from them in the chaos!

Xingya, who had always relied on her mother,

Could not find her mother’s figure when she needed her the most.

Fear, despair, and worry spread rapidly in her heart!

Seeing that she couldn’t find her mother, Xingya could only turn her pleading gaze to the knight who was holding her and running, as well as the other count’s guards nearby,

"Where is my mother?! You have to take me to find her! Hurry, take me to her!"

"my lady?"

Hearing Xingya’s willful words, the count’s knights showed embarrassed expressions. After all, in the current situation, it was uncertain whether they could escape the Divine Punishment Sect’s grasp, let alone going back to find someone.

"my lady, please calm down. Let’s first get away from here..."

"I don’t care! I want to find my mother!"

" my lady!"

"I don’t care!"

Xingya shouted!

" my lady, you, this..."

Faced with the child’s crying, the guards’ faces became increasingly awkward,

However,

At this moment, the expressions of these guards and that member of the Blizzard Knights suddenly changed, anxiously looking behind them! One of the servants even directly ran over and covered Xingya’s mouth with his hand!

"lady, be quiet!"

Xingya: ?!!

The guard’s serious gaze frightened Xingya into silence, so she could only nod in terror, crying all the while,

Seeing this,

The guards and the knight exchanged glances, nodded, and gently placed Xingya and Yumo beside a bush,

The Blizzard Knights’ knight then solemnly squatted in front of the two children and said in a serious tone: "lady Xia and lady Xingya! Please leave quickly through this small path here!!"

"You, you’re not protecting us anymore?! Why?"

Upon hearing this, Xingya’s uneasiness spread even more wildly within her,

However,

Faced with the pitiful expression of the little girl, the knight could only helplessly shake his head, glancing nervously behind him.

"There’s no time to explain! You have to leave right now!"

"But, but..."

"No buts! Go now!"

Under the pressing circumstances, the knight no longer cared about noble etiquette and shouted at Xingya without mercy,

Startled by the shout, Xingya had no choice but to swallow her doubts and leave with the pink-haired girl, crying as they passed through the bushes...

On the other side,

After seeing the two young ladies leave, the knight and the other count’s guards revealed determined expressions. They drew their swords or other weapons from their waists and charged at the black-robed men pursuing them from behind!

...

...

"Ah... Ah!!!!"

However, against the sixth-stage Divine Punishment Sect executor, the fifth-stage knight and the count’s fourth-rank guards had no chance of victory. As soon as they engaged , tragic screams echoed through the small grove!

Hearing these screams, Xingya, who was running away, shuddered,

Looking back fearfully,

She saw at that moment,

The knights and guards who had just protected them were already incapacitated under the assault of the Divine Punishment Sect members, lying in pools of blood, their fate unknown.

’How...how could this happen?!’

At this moment,

Xingya’s fear was further magnified,

Gazing at the black-robed men filled with a murderous aura, the only thought left in Xingya’s heart was to ’run away’!

Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn’t noticed her yet, she had to run!

With that in mind,

Xingya quickly turned her head,

Meanwhile, after noticing the indifferent expression on the pink-haired girl beside her, Xingya couldn’t help but cry and anxiously whisper, "What are you doing?! Hurry up and run!!"

Although her past noble education had caused Xingya to feel great resistance towards Yumo, who was a ’slave’, and even insulted her due to incidents from their childhood, Xingya was still a kind-hearted child at her core. She naturally didn’t want to see another child fall into the hands of those twisted people!

Thus,

Xingya grabbed the pink-haired girl’s hand and pulled her along, running quickly towards the depths of the small grove! Seeing Xingya holding her hand and leading her to escape, the pink-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly,

Of course,

Xingya couldn’t notice all of these details, her orange-red eyes constantly looking behind to make sure no one was catching up to them...

’Faster, we must go even faster!’

Inside the woods, there was her secret hideout! Once they were inside, they would be safe!

Xingya couldn’t help but think this way!

However, how could two ’ordinary’ little girls escape the pursuit of the Divine Punishment Sect? Keep in mind that among the people Romani sent to kill them and root them out, there were several sixth-rank executors!

What good would the cover of the woods and bushes do?

Within the perception of the powerful, they still had nowhere to hide!

Just as Xingya turned her head, looking towards the secret hideout right in front of her! A black-robed man suddenly descended from the sky, blocking Xingya’s path! It caused Xingya’s breath to stop abruptly, and her pupils shrank!

How...?!!

"No!! Mom..."

In an instant, an unparalleled sense of despair erupted in the little girl’s heart! She instinctively wanted to call for her mother.

However, the black-robed man suddenly struck out at Xingya, who was running ahead, covering her mouth and firmly pressing her to the ground! At the same time, several other black-robed men arrived, surrounding the other pink-haired girl!

With this,

Xingya’s plan to hide in the secret hideout was completely ruined...

Looking at the hideous black-robed man pressing down on her and recalling the cruel scenes she had witnessed, tears couldn’t help but stream from Xingya’s eyes,

"No, no"

"Don’t kill me!!"

Xingya wanted to beg for mercy,

But with her mouth covered, she couldn’t even speak, so she could only cry and look at the black-robed man with pleading eyes! Unfortunately, this black-robed man seemed to have no compassion for her, and other than murderous intent, there was no other emotion in his slightly red eyes as he faced such a delicate little girl like Xingya.

After using a strange gem to examine Xingya,

The black-robed man’s face revealed a disdainful smile,

"Heh, your talent isn’t even that high, so there’s no need to keep you as a sacrifice. Goodbye, little girl."

He wants to kill me?!

No, no, don’t!

I’m still young, I haven’t even fallen in love yet! There are so many things I want to do!

I, I!

I don’t want to die!

Hearing these words filled with murderous intent, Xingya fell completely into the quagmire of despair! She struggled in her heart, begging for mercy, and tried her best to break free from the black-robed man’s restraints! However, how could Xingya, with only a second-rank strength, possibly achieve that?

All she could do was watch the black-robed man draw the sword from his waist...

Watch as the blood-stained blade gradually enlarged in her vision,

’Sob, sob, Mom, save, save me...’

However,

Just as Xingya was about to faint from extreme fear and suffocation, a familiar and crisp, adorable voice suddenly rang out in her ear,

"Hey, isn’t it a bit too much to not even spare the children?"

This, this voice?

Xia’er?!
