Chapter 044 Take Your Time

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar echoed throughout Feilei Mountain, louder than thunder.

Although Yue Hongling promptly unleashed the Mountain Collapse Seal from the Fearless Divine Seal, she was still sent flying by the giant's full-force strike.

The giant was enveloped in a mist of blood. The terrifying force of their collision shattered his bones and tendons, and the pressure from the blood ruptured his blood vessels, causing flesh and blood to burst forth.

But the goal was accomplished!

Yue Hongling entered the mist. In the next second, the mist churned and twisted, with rays of light intertwining as three grand formations erupted simultaneously.

The Heavenly Demon Illusion Formation!

The Divine Thunder Summoning Formation!

The Eight Desolates Lockdown Formation!

"Hahaha..."

Countless bursts of laughter rang out almost simultaneously, coming from all directions within the mist.

Figures broke through the mist, their faces filled with ecstasy and greed as they gazed at Yue Hongling.

"To think we actually lured Yue Hongling here, and she came alone! I truly couldn’t have imagined that the unparalleled warrior Yue Hongling would be so foolish!"

"Ke ke ke, she’s not foolish. In the words of the Humans, this is called loyalty and righteousness!"

"A top-tier Human warrior, infatuated with a pretty boy from our Demon race. Yue Hongling, am I not more formidable than Feng Wuxie? If you..."

He was still speaking with a lecherous grin when his words were cut short as his body was violently hurled away, a deep footprint nearly piercing through his torso.

"If you can’t speak properly, then keep your mouth shut," the Dragon Prince said coldly.

Yue Hongling's eyes widened.

The sudden turn of events left her in an indescribable state of shock.

How could this be?

How could this happen?

Was this a trap?

Did Feng Wuxie send her a message, luring her into this trap?

Why would he do this?

She couldn’t accept it, couldn’t understand it. She had already made her feelings clear to Feng Wuxie, telling him that as long as he worked hard in his cultivation, the two of them could fight side by side in the future.

Given her personality, saying such a thing was akin to a confession.

She didn’t believe Feng Wuxie couldn’t understand!

But why would Feng Wuxie do this? What was his purpose? What did he gain from it?

At this moment, a scene from the past suddenly flashed through Yue Hongling's mind.

In that scene, she was arguing with Lu Ye.

"Junior sister, you cannot go. The meeting Feng Wuxie arranged for you is undoubtedly a trap. If you go, you will definitely be captured by the Demons."

"How could it be a trap? The Demons don't know about the feelings between me and Feng Wuxie!"

"How can you be sure they don't know? Your strength is not great, and Feng Wuxie is being hunted. Why would he ask you to rescue him?"

"Just because my strength is not great, why would the Demons specifically target me?"

"Because their ultimate goal is me!"

"Hahaha, senior brother, don't joke around. Would the Demons have the brains to first have Feng Wuxie lure me, and then have me lure you? Impossible. This is entirely you overthinking and making Feng Wuxie out to be too evil."

"Many alien races have been driven to the brink by our Humans. They can never be our match in a direct confrontation, so they resort to desperate measures. And I have already learned that the Demons are closely connected with the Ghosts, Devils, and Divine races. There must be a massive killing intent."

"That massive killing intent wouldn't be directed at someone as average as me!"

"You! You're just being stubborn!"

"Anyway, I'm going. I need to save Feng Wuxie!"

"You're not allowed!"

"I must go!"

"You can't go, I said so!"

"Senior brother, you're just jealous of Feng Wuxie!"

"You can't go!"

"If you don't let me go, I... I'll die right in front of you..."

Yue Hongling sighed softly.

Her expression became calm. During battle, she does not allow herself to have strong emotional fluctuations.

All emotional fluctuations are the greatest hindrance to combat.

But even if she doesn't want to have fluctuations, the enemy doesn't think the same way.

"Yue Hongling, do you want to see Feng Wuxie?" Dragon Prince asked.

Perhaps out of unwillingness, Yue Hongling nodded.

"Let's see."

Feng Wuxie was brought up, covered in blood, bruised and battered, with more than one or two broken bones.

Because Dragon Prince had been thinking about it and became more and more displeased, so he caught him and beat him up again.

Yue Hongling looked at Feng Wuxie now.

Unexpectedly, when she looked at Feng Wuxie, there was no emotional fluctuation, no sadness, no hatred, no pain.

"Beaten up like this?" Yue Hongling tried to hold on to some hope.

Dragon Prince laughed.

"Don't misunderstand. Beating him up like this wasn't because we forced him to lure you here. It was simply because he voluntarily said he knew you and could help us kill you. I despise such behavior from Demons, so I beat him up like this," Dragon Prince said with a smile.

The words of the Dragon Prince completely extinguished Yue Hongling's hope.

"It's all your fault!"

Before Yue Hongling could even ask, Feng Wuxie suddenly began to break down and shout.

"It's all your fault! How many times have I told you, I said I would go to you, I would go to you, you are so strong! You have the ability to protect me, why didn't you agree?"

"Do you know what kind of torture I've endured here?"

"If you had let me follow you earlier, none of this would have happened. You like me, then let me follow you, then protect me!"

"You neither protect me nor help me, even when I say a hundred words to you, you don't respond with a single word. What kind of liking is this?"

"You are just a despicable woman!"

Yue Hongling...

Protect him?

She suddenly laughed.

Feng Wuxie, asking her to protect him?

She had lived for such a long time, always protected by her senior brother. Whenever there was trouble or difficulty, she would go to her senior brother, and he would always solve it for her.

Now, there was someone who thought she deserved to die because she didn't protect him.

"Don't kill Feng Wuxie, leave him to me!"

Yue Hongling's voice turned cold.

She spread her arms and legs, ready for battle.

"Come at me together!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of heavenly thunder struck down, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Array unleashed its divine power first.

The blazing white thunder, carrying the majestic might of heaven, struck directly at Yue Hongling.

"Wind Seal!"

As one thunderbolt struck, figures exuding powerful auras appeared from eight directions, their auras connected, their fates intertwined, charging towards Yue Hongling.

A great battle began.

...

"Ding ding ding, host, why did Yue Hongling discover the truth and not cry hysterically like Chu Ling?" The system rang incessantly in Lu Ye's mind, full of confusion.

Lu Ye was silent for a moment before answering.

"That's because she hasn't yet fallen into a desperate situation."

"Yue Hongling's emotions have always been like flowing water. In the past, I was the dam, and when the dam broke, her hatred flooded. Now, battle is the dam, and when the dam is destroyed, her regret will flood."

"Just watch slowly."
