Chapter 159 The Celestial Official Arrives, the Beauty Vanishes
Seeing the terrifying creature surging from the neck of the seven dragons, and Cai Feng'er in imminent danger, Luo Sifan's eyes widened in fury, and he roared several times.
Cai Feng'er seemed not to hear, and Yu Li Shuang was resigned to her death. Even she seemed to have no desire to live anymore. She weaved between the dragon's claws, still wanting to kick and punch Shang Kui Qi a few more times.
A glint of light appeared in Kui Qi's throat, and with a deep chuckle, he suddenly opened his large, white-toothed mouth.
With the dragon's breath about to be unleashed, the hundreds of disciples in front of the Yaotai Sect's main hall, including Cai Feng'er, who were completely unaware of the danger, along with Luo Sifan and Yu Lishuang, will likely be reduced to dust in the rolling crimson flames.
Luo Sifan's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran through him. His innate sword body had already issued a strong warning to him as much as possible.
Holding Yu Lishuang in his arms, Luo Sifan felt rooted to the spot, unable to move, his mind racing through his past and present lives, and his various entanglements with Mu Xiaoqing.
With a soft sigh, Luo Sifan simply closed his eyes and stopped calling Cai Feng'er. He simply tightened his grip on Yu Lishuang, feeling her cool, soft body.
“Luo Sifan…”
The voices were faint and suddenly entered Luo Sifan's ears.
"Um!?"
Luo Sifan felt the voice was familiar, yet it seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, through countless lifetimes. He tried hard to open his eyes and look towards the source of the voice, but was shocked to find that he could not move an inch, as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor.
"Who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?"
Luo Sifan screamed inwardly, a mixture of panic, joy, and inexplicable fear.
Right now, isn't he being burned to ashes by Kui Qi's dragon breath? What's going on here?
Losfan was in a daze when he suddenly remembered his family's predicament amidst the chaos.
Confusion overwhelmed Luo Sifan, making him even doubt whether he had already died from the dragon's breath and whether his soul was having delusions during reincarnation.
A soft, giggling laugh, rising from nothing, drew ever closer to the lost and confused Luo Sifan.
The oblivious Luo Sifan was startled by the laughter that stirred the immortal soul, causing her to tremble slightly and feel numbness in her hands and feet. She didn't know whether it was from fright or joy.
The laughter stopped abruptly, but the breath was already beside Luo Sifan, slowly exhaling from head to neck, as if someone was very close, ambiguously playing with Luo Sifan's face.
"Who exactly are you? I already..."
Luo Sifan suppressed his fear and murmured to himself. Before he could fully express his feelings, his lips were suddenly pressed firmly against someone's.
Greed, rudeness, and ruthlessness vented the rage that strange man had been accumulating for countless years.
Luo Sifan was tongue-tied and had no time to think. She mumbled in protest, feeling both ashamed and annoyed. The man's impact stung her lips, and her jaw broke.
The torment continued for an unknown period, churning Luo Sifan's soul to its wits' end, leaving her unsure whether it was a dream or an illusion, before the man gradually softened. Luo Sifan also regained some of her senses, and a faint sweetness slowly seeped into her being gently nurtured.
But deep down he still resisted, feeling both amused and exasperated, blaming himself for being so disappointing.
When their lips parted, Luo Sifan felt a pang of reluctance and immediately blamed herself.
The man seemed to read Luo Sifan's mind, chuckling softly, which only made Luo Sifan more embarrassed and annoyed.
"That's enough, wake up!"
The man suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but to Luo Sifan it was like the ringing of bells and the sound of drums. His whole body trembled, as if he had been pulled out of the mud or fallen from the heavens. His ears were sharp and his mind was clear, and a gentle breeze caressed his body. All his depression and discomfort were swept away.
Luo Sifan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze widening in surprise.
The scene before my eyes is indeed still the same.
Kui Qi's dragon mouth opened wide, its eyes gleaming with divine light, and the white light spewing from its throat overflowed from its whiskers and teeth. Cai Feng'er's petite figure was about to be engulfed by the dragon's breath.
But Luo Sifan immediately sensed something was wrong. A moment later, the scene that had been troubling him remained unchanged.
Time seemed to stand still in this moment and place!
Luo Sifan turned her head in shock, her eyes almost blinded by the light.
There was no lustful or greedy person beside him who bothered him; only a cold, dazzling light silently stared back at him.
More importantly, Yu Lishuang in his arms had vanished into nothingness at some point, and his hands, though still embracing her, seemed to retain a trace of softness on his fingers.
"Where is Yu Lishuang?"
Luo Sifan squinted, suppressing the tears that streamed down her face from the stinging pain. Her heart sank, and she questioned the ball of light before her.
The strange phenomena before our eyes were obviously caused by this suddenly appearing ball of light.
The ball of light flickered incessantly, without uttering a word, its radiance gradually fading, as if pitying Luo Sifan's eyes, which were stinging and tearing.
As the discomfort subsided, Luo Sifan opened his eyes wide, trying to see the faint details within the ball of light. There seemed to be something within it, lively and ready to speak.
"Say something!"
Receiving no response, Luo Sifan gazed at the strange ball of light and urged, his tone inexplicably much softer. He could no longer sense Yu Lishuang with his outstretched arms and reluctantly withdrew them.
The ball of light flickered, its intensity rising as if it were trying to respond to Luo Sifan's question. However, something unknown blocked their connection, preventing it from conveying its thoughts to Luo Sifan.
Luo Sifan looked bewildered. The ball of light seemed to be angered, and after shaking violently a few times, it simply vanished in a flash.
"Hey!"
Luo Sifan was momentarily lost in thought and reached out to grab it with great disappointment. However, the ball of light was as elusive as a ghost, and with his level of skill and hand speed, he was a million miles too late. His hand slipped through his fingers.
The dim Lotus Treasure Void Moon, at the same time, radiated light.
The moonlight, clear and luminous, solidified as a tangible substance, instantly enveloped the thirty-six peaks of Qunyu Mountain, where Luo Sifan and the others were located, transforming them into a crystal-clear world.
Beyond the crystal world, dark clouds stretched for thousands of miles in the void above the nine heavens, arising spontaneously, with lightning bolts gradually rising and rolling in.
Luo Sifan's old acquaintance, Cheng Zhipu, the official in charge of the Nine Heavens Thunder Seal, arrived late with a frown.
"Strange, there are clearly traces of forbidden immortals here, so why haven't I seen a single one of them since I arrived?"
Cheng Zhipu tapped the thunder seal with his hand, utterly bewildered.
Lianbao's crystal world was not within his duties. Although Cheng Zhipu was surprised, he did not intend to meddle.
There have been many cases of celestial treasures from the upper realm being smuggled into the lower realm. Just a few days ago, he even saw the Xuan Tian Thunder Stone descend to the lower realm. He didn't know which fairy from the upper realm was behind it, so he didn't dare to interfere and just turned a blind eye as usual.
On Mount Qunyu, a vast and magnificent world of crystal stretching for hundreds of miles, he was even less inclined to cause trouble.
"Fine, fine! I'll just clock out and call it a day."
Cheng Zhipu searched the area with the Thunder Seal for a quarter of an hour but found nothing. He simply put away the Thunder Seal, stood idly on the sea of thunder, took out the jade talisman, and began to record today's field report.
Luo Sifan was blocked by Lianbao's great power and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
Before his eyes, time seemed to have returned to normal.
Like Kui Qi trapped in ice crystals, the dragon breath in his mouth surged forth, but it could not break through the barrier of the sparse glass. The dragon breath flowed like a waterfall, and the outlet surged back out, engulfing the hundred-zhang golden dragon into its own crimson-to-white torrent of dragon breath.
Luo Sifan frowned slightly, disgusted by the gruesome sight of Kui Qi burning himself with dragon breath.
Through the glass-like world, the air was filled with the stench of scaly skin peeling away and flesh gradually melting.
Not to mention the horrific sight of the dragon's eye, as large as a small room, being burned until it swelled and changed color, swelling several times its original size before suddenly bursting open, covered in filthy blood.
The mighty Dragon King, once so arrogant and invincible, is now being burned alive and slowly tortured before Luo Sifan's eyes, like a weak eel.
