Chapter 28 Cold Jade Warms the Heart
Deep in the Danfeng Cave, the cold air is oppressive.
Zheng Qiuyu used up his last bit of strength to move his heavy, burning body onto the cold jade bed.
As soon as the cold and gloomy energy of the jade bed came into contact with him, the violent chaotic power in Shaohuo's body calmed down a little and no longer ran rampant like before.
But she could no longer hold on, her body softened, and she slid down the cold edge of the bed and sat on the ground.
The severe pain in her internal organs and the exhaustion of her soul came together, making her eyes go dark.
She leaned against the jade bed, breathing heavily, looking at Shaohuo's perfect sleeping face that seemed unreal, but her mind was furiously calculating.
Yun Ya's warning, the bloody diary, and this increasingly unstable "tool man".
Every step must be calculated more carefully and taken more ruthlessly.
She stretched out her hand, and touched the burning cheek with her cool fingertips. Her voice was hoarse from weakness, but she deliberately tinged it with a hint of fragile dependence.
"Husband, you are my only hope now."
Half of this sentence was a lie told to the system, and the other half was her most real and cruel situation at the moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the long eyelashes of the person on the bed trembled slightly.
Zhuohuo slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were still dark, but no longer as empty and chaotic as before. At this moment, those bottomless pupils clearly reflected her pale and haggard face, as if locking onto the only treasure in the world.
He woke up.
There were no words, no unnecessary movements. He just instinctively reached out his hand, and with a bit of unfamiliarity, he stroked her cheek and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
The touch of his fingertips was cold, but his eyes revealed a kind of beast-like paranoia and loyalty.
He seemed to be confirming.
Check whether his belongings are intact.
Zheng Qiuyu's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran down his spine to the back of his head.
This look is more dangerous than when he was asleep.
But the opportunity was fleeting. She immediately suppressed all the fear in her heart, snuggled into his not-so-warm arms, and buried her face in his neck.
【Word Spirit·Pet】
Her lips were pressed against his ear, her breath was warm, and every word she said was filled with a carefully woven mixture of sweetness and fear.
"Husband, I'm so scared... I'm just so scared of losing you."
The concentration of lies soared to the extreme at this moment.
Shaohuo's stiff body seemed to soften for a moment. Feeling the active "attachment" of the person in his arms, the chaotic red light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and the surging power in his body also stabilized a little.
He just held her tighter in his arms, a silent possessiveness spreading in the cold air.
At the peak of this false tenderness, the system in Zheng Qiuyu's mind issued an unprecedented sharp alarm!
[Warning! A high-level deadly threat is approaching at high speed! ]
[Target locked: Zheng Qiuyu, burning fire! ]
Zheng Qiuyu's body stiffened instantly.
Almost at the same time, the cave restriction she had set up with her own hands was silently torn open by a cold and domineering force.
Two dark shadows, like ghosts in the dark night, appeared silently at the entrance of the cave.
They are well-trained and work in perfect harmony.
One person held a pitch-black talisman in his hand, and the blood-red runes on it were wriggling strangely, emitting an evil aura that was piercing to the soul.
It is the sect’s forbidden weapon, the Soul-Devouring Talisman!
The other person swung out a black rope. The rope grew longer when it was hit by the wind. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it turned into a black line and rushed straight towards Zheng Qiuyu who was held in the arms of Zhanhuo!
The Immortal Rope!
Elder Wang's confidant came with the determination to kill.
Their goal is very clear, to destroy Zhuo Huo and capture Zheng Qiuyu alive!
In a flash, Zheng Qiuyu didn't even have time to react before the shadow of death loomed over him.
However, she sensed the burning fire in her arms.
It was a more direct and primitive violation of his "property" than the system alarm.
A violent red light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Zhuo Huo, who had just awakened.
No roaring, no roaring.
There weren't even any unnecessary movements.
An invisible but extremely terrifying chaotic force exploded with him as the center!
The soul-devouring talisman that was flashing with blood turned into nothingness the moment it came into contact with this power, along with the elite disciple who was holding it.
It's not dust, but complete nothingness that has been wiped out from this world.
The unstoppable immortal-binding rope broke into pieces in the air and then disappeared.
Another trusted disciple, with the smug grin still on his face, disappeared out of thin air.
Not even a scream could be uttered.
Complete annihilation.
Not even a trace of the soul was left.
After doing all this, Zhuohuo just lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against Zheng Qiuyu, who was frightened and cold all over in his arms, as if he was just casually swatting two buzzing flies to death.
The aftermath of that explosive force was like a heavy hammer, smashing heavily on the entire Danfeng!
boom--!
The terrifying aura of chaos rose into the sky, and the entire Qingyun Sect’s mountain protection formation was buzzing with it!
Countless elders who were in seclusion were awakened, and all the disciples looked towards the direction of Danfeng in horror.
"what happened?!"
The sect leader and the elders tore through the void almost instantly and appeared above Danfeng.
When they pushed open the door of Zheng Qiuyu's cave, which had been reduced to dust, they saw only a messy ground and the lingering chaotic aura in the void that made their souls tremble.
Zheng Qiuyu was still "shocked" as she got up from the burning arms.
Her face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and grievance when she looked at the sect leader.
"metropolitan……"
Her voice trembled as she explained just right.
"Just now, a thief broke in and intended to harm me. My husband... my husband sensed the danger and instinctively protected me, but this also exhausted his energy and he fell into a deep sleep again."
She perfectly attributed all the credit to her burning instinct to protect her wife.
This statement is impeccable.
Everyone looked towards the cold jade bed, only to see that Zhuohuo had indeed closed his eyes again, his breath weak, as if the devastating blow just now had drained him of everything.
Looking at the terrifying power remaining at the scene, everyone believed it.
Those who had doubts about the "miracle" before were now completely silent, and their eyes looking at the burning fire were filled with only deep awe.
Elder Zhang Xuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He roared, "Investigate! Investigate for me! Who is this bastard who dares to touch the hope of Danfeng?"
at the same time.
In Elder Wang’s cave, the image in the Sky-Viewing Mirror suddenly stopped, remaining at the last moment before the two confidants were wiped out.
“Pah.”
The mirror slipped from his trembling hands and fell to the ground.
He slumped in the chair, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.
The liver and gallbladder are both broken.
The power of the burning fire was far beyond his imagination. It was a monster that no human power could contend with!
Taking direct action would be tantamount to self-destruction.
After the fear, a deeper and more resentful hatred surged in his eyes.
He couldn't just let it go.
His gaze was cast coldly out the window, and a more poisonous and cruel idea was growing wildly in his mind.
Can't kill you...
Then I will destroy you!
