Chapter 046: Heart-Wrenching

“Senior Brother, how did you escape back then?”

A thought crossed Yue Hongling’s mind.

In a scene from her past life, Lu Ye opened the door to a dark room, standing against the light.

At this moment, in Yue Hongling’s mind, she could almost clearly see that indistinct Senior Brother.

He was covered in scars.

Every inch of him was marked with wounds.

Not a single good spot on his body.

The bone-deep pain relentlessly consumed his senses, not just physically but also the anguish within his heart.

Senior Brother was clever; he could see at a glance that it was a trap.

A trap meant for him.

Yet, he still went for it.

Without hesitation.

Back then, his strength was nowhere near as formidable as her own now.

Even she, in her current powerful state, felt overwhelming despair in such a trap. How did Senior Brother manage it?

A tear, mingled with blood, slipped from Yue Hongling’s eye.

“Kill!”

The dragon claw formed a fist, gleaming with a bloody red light, and slammed into Yue Hongling’s abdomen.

“Boom!”

Yue Hongling was sent flying, crashing heavily against the stone wall, blood gushing from her mouth.

The Yin Sha Ghost let out a sharp scream, its soul power morphing into a celestial blade that cut into Yue Hongling’s consciousness, causing her to convulse in agony.

The Magic Sword flickered ominously as it erupted with a flash, the sword light rushing towards Yue Hongling’s heart.

The sword light drew closer and closer to her heart.

The Broken Blade Demon’s heart raced; he was about to kill such a Tianjiao!

“Pfft!”

The sword light came to an abrupt halt.

A blood-soaked, yet still rather pleasing hand firmly grasped the Magic Sword.

Yue Hongling’s face twisted in rage.

“You think you can kill me?”

“Star Shatter!”

The Broken Blade Demon’s face changed drastically as he forcefully twisted the Magic Sword, aiming to sever Yue Hongling’s hand and nullify her attack.

“Pfft!”

One hand fell.

The Broken Blade Demon…

“Boom!”

The Broken Blade Demon was blasted to smithereens.

“Die for me!”

The Little Dragon King roared, delivering a punch packed with terrifying power right against Yue Hongling’s temple.

Yue Hongling’s body was sent flying, liquid—blood or sweat—spraying everywhere.

Seeing the Broken Blade Demon’s miserable state, the Yin Sha Ghost dared not approach, frantically releasing soul attacks from a distance.

The Little Dragon King’s blow was heavy.

It was evident Yue Hongling’s gaze had lost its luster, becoming extremely dazed.

She lay against the stone wall, gently shaking her head.

The Little Dragon King let out a long dragon roar, opening his mouth as a golden divine dragon spiraled out, determined to personally kill Yue Hongling with lethal attacks.

The others were mostly standing by.

Since the Little Dragon King wanted to kill, let him.

After all, as long as Yue Hongling was dead, it didn’t matter who did it.

The golden divine dragon expanded in the wind, swirling in the void, suddenly accelerating and crashing down upon Yue Hongling, creating a tremendous roar.

The golden light erupted explosively.

Another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, forming the most terrifying attack.

Yue Hongling lay on the ground, her body charred black, emitting a nauseating meaty smell.

Her breath was incredibly weak.

This was it; she was finally going to die.

The Little Dragon King’s expression was strange as he strode over to Yue Hongling.

“In your next life, don’t believe in love anymore!”

The Little Dragon King raised his hand, his dragon claw ruthlessly clawing at Yue Hongling’s back.

Charred, Yue Hongling suddenly turned around; the dragon claw pierced through her stomach, while she pushed against it, completely impaling herself, bringing their bodies close together.

“Die!”

The last of her strength, the final slaughter.

The Little Dragon King looked at the symbol that flew toward his head.

This… is this even possible?

“Boom!”

The Little Dragon King’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Dead.

Using her last ounce of strength, Yue Hongling killed the Little Dragon King, the strongest of the Demon Clan to date.

Cold shivers ran through the hearts of the other powerful beings.

She, who was so heavily wounded, still had the strength to counter-kill the Little Dragon King?

In an instant, the seven surrounding Yue Hongling hesitated to approach.

“Senior Brother…”

“Senior Brother…”

Cries echoed from Yue Hongling’s throat.

She was in pain!

She was hurting!

The pain throughout her body, in this moment, stripped of the guise of battle, pierced straight through Yue Hongling’s soul.

But the pain from her wounds wasn’t the worst.

The worst pain came from her heart.

It was heart-wrenching, agonizing to the core.

How did Senior Brother manage to escape back then?

After Senior Brother escaped through layers of despair, he must have had countless things he wanted to say, wanting to tell her about the dangers he faced, wanting to reveal Feng Wuxie’s true nature, wanting to confirm his suspicions, wanting to…

But what about her?

She had gone mad, forcing all his words back into him.

Forcing him to utter just three words.

“I’m sorry!”

Pain!

Too painful!

Yue Hongling cried despairingly, her whole body trembling. If she had the strength, she would be howling now, but she was so weak she couldn’t even muster that.

Watching Yue Hongling’s state, the other races fell silent.

What was she crying about?

Just because of Feng Wuxie?

No!

It shouldn’t be just because of Feng Wuxie, because all along, Yue Hongling hadn’t looked at Feng Wuxie again.

So, who was she crying for?

On the other side.

A shimmering scene displayed Yue Hongling’s current state.

Lu Ye watched as Yue Hongling in that moment finally smiled.

He felt himself becoming more twisted.

Yue Hongling was truly crying so sadly, yet he felt incredibly good at that moment!

Now she knows to cry?

Didn’t she just achieve the love she yearned for?

What was she crying about?

“Ding ding ding…”

The System was excitedly chiming in Lu Ye’s mind, it was thrilled!

Thrilled to the point of exploding!

Lu Ye thought, this time, Yue Hongling would surely die.

She couldn’t escape back then.

But just then, a firebird caught Lu Ye’s eye, and he immediately darkened.

Who was that firebird?

Even disguised, he recognized it; this was the Vermilion Bird!

Oh no, the Vermilion Bird was actually…

In her past life, the Vermilion Bird had been absent.

…

The various races looked up at the sky.

Never mind why she was crying, forget it, kill!

“Boom!”

Another bolt of heavenly thunder brewed, a blazing white lightning crashed down, smashing fiercely toward the crying Yue Hongling.

At this moment, a firebird hidden among the many demons sighed helplessly.

Its form transformed, the ordinary firebird becoming an enormous Vermilion Bird.

A ball of flame struck the heavenly thunder.

Boom!

The flames erupted, exploding alongside the lightning.

A cry of the bird echoed through heaven and earth, the massive firebird splitting into six, charging towards the six other races surrounding Yue Hongling.

The heat of the flames was truly terrifying.

The six races were taken by surprise, using all means to defend.

Boom boom boom!

Continuous explosions rang out, torrents of fire raining down.

A figure dashed like a shooting star, leaping into the flames, swiftly carrying Yue Hongling out beyond the formation.

“I didn’t want to help you, but your crying is just too ugly!”

Lu Ye nearly smashed a rock against the shimmering screen after seeing this scene.

Once he saw the Vermilion Bird’s figure, he felt something was off.

Yet, she actually stepped in to save Yue Hongling.

Shit, Yue Hongling is alive, isn’t she just going to come back and frantically apologize to me again?

Is this never-ending?

“Trap the Vermilion Bird, kill them both, let’s go!”
