Chapter 42: The Passionate, Heartbreaking Yearning of Crimson Love

Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, she saw Qian Wenyu reach instinctively toward the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower. The pale tip of her finger was cut by one of its petals, and a single drop of blood fell onto the flower’s heart.

Though it was not heart blood, merely an ordinary drop of blood, the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower showed no disdain. Its roots swiftly detached themselves from the Black Jue Stone, and the entire flower settled into Qian Wenyu’s slender, jade-white hand.

Qian Renxue’s expression stiffened. At that moment, she felt as though the sky had collapsed. She stared at Qian Wen...

Someone suddenly shouted, and before Su Ming’an could say a word, several flying swords came slashing toward him. Su Ming’an had yet to move when Mo Yan raised his hand and struck with his sword. A sword aura as radiant as a rainbow burst forth, and with several sharp swishes, it severed all the incoming sword auras.

Fang Hong let out a long howl. His right foot struck the ground, his body pitched forward, and he flung out his arm, seizing Shi Gaohu tightly by the wrist.

The Exorcism Bureau and the Demon-Slaying Bureau were the martial and military branches—positions of noble rank that allowed one to strike first and report afterward, with relatively great freedom.

Yet just as Yao Baiguang raised his sword to block the saber in the man’s hands, the tip of his foot suddenly traced the pattern of the Big Dipper across the ground. With a light tap, his body leapt into the air, carrying the tip of his sword into a spinning arc as he thrust toward the man’s throat from an exceedingly treacherous angle.

“The refinement of products like Weibo is still insufficient. Our foundation is extremely weak at present, and we do not welcome capital intervention in any form.”

Hearing Mao Xuewang’s cry of alarm, Mo Linglong began examining the “monk” before him with even greater seriousness.

Relying on the power of an organization was far stronger than searching for the Revolutionary Army alone in the forest and fighting them single-handedly.

Zhou Wen was wearing silver iron rings on his hands when he answered the phone. Since I knew a little lip-reading, I had Shen Yu pick up the receiver.

Zhai Yu pulled the quilt tightly around herself and realized that she was completely naked. Her heart pounded like thunder.

Cheng Liping froze for a moment, then laughed and said openly, “All right.” Before the words had even faded, he strode forward.

Ye Tangdong turned his head toward the window. The moonlight outside was extraordinarily bright, filtering through the openwork window in a gentle radiance as soft as water.

Baili Xi was stunned for a moment, then shifted aside and tried to pull his arm from Qiu Li’s grasp. He had not expected Qiu Li to be holding him so tightly; no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull free.

When she looked up, she saw Lin Haoxue gazing at her intently. Her eyes were filled with their friendship: understanding, empathy, acceptance, the determination to stand shoulder to shoulder, and the courage to contend with Heaven itself.

“There are only ten bolts of lightning left. Everyone, hold on a little longer. Don’t worry about outside—I will hold the line!” Mo Li’s deep voice rang out. The people within the space were jolted to life, as if they could all see hope.

The gentle caress against her lips finally brought a trace of color back to Xia Ruoxin’s face, yet she missed the fleeting pain that crossed Gao Yi’s eyes.

Shen Tuantuan cried for a long time, and Ning Nanxing silently listened outside for just as long. He leaned his head against the wall, eyes narrowed, no one knowing what he was thinking.

After saying this, it paid no further attention to the Mu sisters on the arena. Its body trembled slightly, and it simply vanished into midair. Even the wood-element profound energy that had formed its body disappeared into the air at that very moment.

Gazing at the mountains of fire raging across Dark Shadow Island, Cheng Liping’s thoughts churned. Liu Weiguo came over and patted him on the shoulder, then immediately led people down onto Dark Shadow Island, using every available means to extinguish the flames consuming the mountaintops.

Thus, from early that morning onward, Chi Nan encountered no resistance at all. The half-elf nobles who had constantly sought to harm him had all vanished without a trace. Even the people watching him from nearby had been reduced by more than half.

She knew that if Ye Zhusheng had called her for help, he must have done so only because he had no other choice.

Xue Shisan had fused six domains together without the slightest rejection, perfectly combining them into an entirely new force.

The Torch Dragon’s body was translucent, and, like that of a centaur, streams of air continuously burrowed into it.
