Chapter 206 Moonlight Rhapsody
The Ice Saint and the blond man did not give the two any time to think.
Just when Li Muhan wanted to ask how the dog turned into a blond handsome man, the entire stage began to change drastically as the Ice Saint raised her hand.
The deep, dark sky seemed to have been shaken by something and began to shatter.
At the same time, accompanied by a dull and subtle crack, it was like the collision of reality and illusion.
Amid the interweaving of light and shadow, the stage let out a mournful creaking sound—it began to crack and disintegrate.
As I held my breath, the already fragile stage gradually disintegrated into countless fragments, which circled, spun, and fell in the air; and when they fell, there was no expected sound of metal colliding or wood breaking.
On the contrary, it is a delicate feeling as soft and clear as silk caressing the water.
After the stage shattered, Li Muhan and Xia Yue did not fall into the abyss as they had imagined. Instead, they seemed to be stepping on a warm and calm lake.
The entire space suddenly became bright, and the stage in the abyss disappeared, replaced by an open, tranquil and crystal clear mirror-like lake under the moon.
The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a brilliant silver glow on the lake; stars dotted the scene shyly. The lake was so still that time seemed to have stood still, and under the silver moonlight, it seemed so peaceful and tranquil.
But beneath this strange sight, the Ice Saint's blood-red dress stained the moonlight with a touch of blood and weirdness.
She slowly slid down from the night sky, like a dream, her toes lightly touching the surface of the lake, causing circles of tiny ripples.
They swayed under the caress of the moonlight, as if the strings of a guitar were gently plucked, playing the prelude to the night.
The stars twinkled for her arrival, as if whispering anticipation for the drama that was about to unfold.
The blood-red sword looked particularly sharp in her slender and white hands.
It emits a faint light that is icy but bright red like blood, and wriggles in the silence as if alive, exuding a creepy aura to the surroundings.
Next to her was a blond man wearing a mask. His blond hair was slightly shiny, shimmering with a mysterious luster in the moonlight.
He held a black and red long sword in his hand, creating an endless undercurrent between the strange undercurrent and the color of blood, which stirred people's nerves.
The interweaving of black and red, and the light and shadow of the two long swords, gave this moonlit spectacle a strange and solemn hue.
"The next song is dedicated to you, my sister, Xia Liya." She whispered in a deep voice, "Dance, struggle, under the endless moonlight; and then... fall and sink." Her words revealed an unfathomable expectation and a chill hidden in them.
The layers of pure white skirt that once wrapped around her body were now on the verge of falling apart. The blood-red skirt looked even more wild under the moonlight. At this moment, the Ice Saint had long lost her previous holiness and elegance.
As the symphony from the night sky began to play, every note seemed to have the ability to distort the real world; every rhythm could tear apart the laws of common sense.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue understood that the real trial might have just begun.
"Li Muhan... I'm sorry, the only ones who can change this space are my mother and this flying mouse."
Xia Yue took light steps, and her slender crystal high heels caused faint ripples on the mirror-like lake surface. Her face darkened slightly, and she looked up at the Ice Saint who had turned into a vampire, with a hint of apology in her words.
"It's okay, she's still my sister-in-law. It's my duty to take care of her."
Li Muhan also followed Xia Yue's footsteps, walking step by step towards the two people standing under the moon.
".....Don't, don't talk nonsense...You and I haven't...haven't gotten married yet..."
Xia Yue blushed slightly. Although her long hair was tied up high behind her head, a few strands of hair still fell beside her face because of the trial just now. She looked a little messy, but also had a different kind of beauty.
Facing her now slightly red cheeks and evasive eyes, Li Muhan really had an urge to hug her tightly.
But now is not the time.
He coughed twice, and rarely tried to be serious.
"So, are there any other rules for this trial, my princess?"
He turned around and stood facing the girl, bowed slightly and asked with a smile.
Xia Yue was stunned, then shook her head with a wry smile.
"It really doesn't suit you...but...well, please dance this last song with me, my knight."
"Choked to death, selling funnels."
"...when speaking Chinese, your pronunciation is not standard."
"...Yes, my princess."
Although there were occasional minor incidents, the two of them seemed to be ready at this moment.
The red and black light became the background and foil for the two of them.
"Enough of the sweet talk, can we begin, my dear sister?"
The Ice Saint... No, maybe now she should be called the Blood Witch.
She didn't seem to want to wait for the two to finish their sweet talk, and interrupted them with a provocative tone.
Xia Yue and Li Muhan turned their heads sideways at the same time to look at the Blood Witch and the blond masked man, with calm smiles on their faces. Even though they knew that the current trial would be several times more difficult than the previous ones, the tacit understanding between the two still reached its peak.
They will no longer be afraid of any challenge.
"The dance begins. By the way, Xia Luer, remember, I am your sister."
"How shameless..."
The Blood Witch's mouth opened into a crazy smile.
The next second, accompanied by strange and exciting music, two long swords, one black and one red, suddenly attacked the two of them.
The two swords were as graceful and deadly as their masters, and their attacks were coordinated and powerful enough to perfectly match the rhythm of the music.
As the enemy approached, Li Muhan and Xia Yue also took action.
They leaned sideways against each other and raised their hands at the same time.
Two knight swords appeared in their hands.
The two of them almost took the same steps at the same time and began dancing.
Their movements are fluid and powerful, and every step seems natural.
when--
When the two dancers met, there was a sound of metal clashing that was not harsh but very rhythmic.
Li Muhan's sword faced the black sword of the blond masked man, and Xia Yue's sword faced the red sword of the Blood Witch.
Even though the current attacks are much faster and heavier than those of the previous knights.
But both of them used the rhythm of their dance steps to cleverly deflect this seemingly elegant but potentially deadly attack.
Almost at the moment of contact, the two sides instantly distanced themselves from each other, just like a few dancing butterflies playing with each other among the flowers without affecting each other.
"There are no rules, Li Muhan. This is an impromptu dance piece."
Xia Yue turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked at Li Muhan with a slightly red face.
Li Muhan put his arm around Xia Yue's waist, and when the blond man's sword came sideways, he took a step and spun with Xia Yue to avoid the attack.
"My only rule is to protect you."
"...Well, wait, wait until you can catch up with me before you say such big words..."
