Above Destiny

Chapter 644 The Hunt and the Promise

"What are you mumbling about when the materials are delivered to your door?"

Without hesitation, Ji Jue unleashed the Pan Ying Blood Flame once more, turning the Pan Ying crimson red, almost unbearable...

That was terrifying!

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely thought that the bastard wolf in his heart had descended upon him, and was preparing to self-destruct Pan Ying without regard for the consequences. But it turned out to be just a parasite that dared to covet him.

It's the other way around!

Amidst the eruption of blood flames, mercury light converged, intertwining and binding in layers. Then, the Tri-Phase Alchemy erupted, pulling all spiritual matter inward and contracting it like a vortex!

The wolf in my heart is formless and intangible. If it were to escape from this body, who knows how much trouble it would cause? Even if it only has a fleeting thought, it could possess me in the blink of an eye. Who the hell could live like that?!

The black flames within the reflection of the soul erupted from the silver light, completely engulfing and covering the wolf in the heart that had been pierced. The viscous black flames dissolved all spiritual matter and substance. In that chaotic realm beyond anyone's control, everything would lose its original appearance, leaving no trace of its former self.

The wolf in his heart roared in fury, and under the unexpected pain, he struggled wildly. His face, which had been pierced by the piercing sword, suddenly lunged forward, ignoring the pain of his soul being torn apart, and opened his mouth to bite Ji Jue, who was right next to him!

Just a hair's breadth away, as long as...

Snapped!
A ray of light descended from the sky!

Hunter's Finger - Flying Light!

At the crucial moment, An Ning chose to project, aiming towards the wolf in her heart. What she threw was no longer flying light, but... herself after giving it her all!
It requires neither strength nor skill.

The only ability that the Hunter lineage receives from its superiors is [projection]. For the target, this ability is unrelated to size or weight, and there is no distinction between inside and outside.

Using this power so violently, she threw herself backward, turning herself into a weapon, and An Ning rose into the sky, breaking through the air.

He raised his remaining left hand, pointing his fingers like knives.

With the last glimmer of light, it pierced through the face, reaching the very end, and finally grasped the unseen heart.

Grip tightly, and the light will burst forth!
Lore!

boom! ! !
Amidst the agonizing howls, the still-growing wolf within was completely pulled into the silver vortex, and everything dissolved into nothingness within the black flames.

ended.

But just as he was falling from mid-air, Ji Jue looked up and finally saw...

That mangled, bloodied face.

In An Ning's eyes, a trace of crimson gradually appeared... rapidly spreading and diffusing, gradually engulfing the last glimmer of light in her soul, completely covering it.

In a moment of stunned surprise, she seemed to understand something.

Or rather, preparations were already underway when they took to the air.

But he gave Ji Jue one last smile.

Carefree and joyful.

She said, "Goodbye, Brother Ji Jue."

Then, that sliver of light that sustained the soul appeared from the fingertips and pierced itself.

The hunter launched a desperate attack on the last wolf!
No hesitation!

Even faster than her was Ji Jue.

In its final act, it unleashed the blood-red light of Pan Ying, and in the midst of its fall, it pushed itself toward An Ning, lunging forward and grabbing her wrist.

Dissociation technique!
A violent surge of spiritual energy penetrated his body, spreading throughout his soul and matrix, causing a violent tremor that forcibly brought everything to a standstill.

Annihilation of fleeting light.

In that final moment, what An Ning saw was a ferocious expression she had never seen before.

Dark and violent, it devours those it chooses!

just like……

Wolf?
Chun Jun reversed, its reflection covering the soul, and black flames erupted from the steel. The wolf blood oath, like thorns, suddenly stretched and expanded.

A wolf, not belonging to the Great Evil, appeared at this moment, opened its mouth towards the hunter who was so close, bit her neck, and hungrily sucked and greedily devoured her.

For the first time, Ji Jue activated the power bestowed upon him by the Kingdom of the Forest.

【plunder】!
It steals all the blood and wolf venom from the soul, baring its fangs at the budding wolf in the heart, brutally extracting it, ignoring the hallucinatory howls, forcibly swallowing all the spreading wolf blood, and completely stripping away and digesting the oath that has not yet been imprinted on the soul, regardless of how serious the injuries left behind.

Until they take their things back from the jaws of the other wolves!
boom!
He was holding An Ning when they fell to the ground.

The final burst of flames dissipated most of the power, leaving Ji Jue tumbling helplessly in the mud, feeling as if his entire body was on the verge of shattering, and he didn't even have the strength to get up again.

With the deaths of all enemies, the perimeter and blockade shattered.

He saw the blood-red sky once again.

Also, An Ning.

In a daze, she opened her eyes again.

It was as if she had woken up from a long dream and was staring blankly at Ji Jue.

When recalling everything from the nightmare, a faint, abandoned glimmer seemed to appear in those empty eyes.

She seemed about to speak.

In the end, however, he could not make a sound.

Only his eyes grew colder as he looked at the defenseless wolf before him!

"Aren't you going to say something, Brother Ji Jue?" she finally asked.

"Well……"

Ji Jue pondered for a moment, looked at her, and commented sincerely, "I have to say, you look much cuter now than when you were pretending to say goodbye."

Snapped!
A broken sound sounded.

An Ning reached out, her five fingers like knives, tearing through flesh and blood, piercing his chest, and tightly gripping his metal heart.

The flying light reappears!

That sliver of light burst forth from her fingertips, bringing with it the chilling prospect of death.

It flashed by and disappeared without a trace.

Once wavering occurs, even with the utmost effort, only a negligible scratch can be left behind...

The hunter was furious.

She grabbed Ji Jue, pulled him closer, and with a mouth full of anger and hatred, bit down on his neck, tearing flesh apart with all her might.

Just like a wolf...

A mark was left.

"You are my prey, you know that?!"

An Ning raised her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, glared at Ji Jue, and told him fiercely, "If any other hunters want to touch you, they'll kill me first! But if one day you really do turn into a wolf, then I'll come and kill you!"

Before that, um…

Before she could finish speaking, her words came to an abrupt halt.

That helpless face was already close.

He embraced her, pressed down on the back of her head, and, without allowing her to dodge, sealed her bloodied lips with his own, savoring the fragrance of wolf blood through the hunter's mouth, wantonly plundering everything that belonged to him.

Until hatred and anger could no longer be sustained, the stiff body gradually softened, and no more resistance could be felt.

"Then come."

Ji Jue whispered a promise in her ear: "I'll wait."

An Ning remained silent.

After repeatedly overdrawing her strength, she no longer had the energy to stay awake. She could only watch Ji Jue, and gradually, she fell into a deep sleep, completely unprepared.

Ji Jue held her in his arms, slowly stood up, paused slightly, and his expression stiffened for a moment.

I finally felt it; the scratch on my heart was so deep, etched into the steel, hastily drawn, done in a single stroke.

is her name.

It's like putting your name on your favorite thing.

It must not be allowed to be taken away by others; it must be made visible to everyone at a glance.

[An Ning]

"..."

Ji Jue sighed silently, and slowly lowered his raised hand.

Forget it, let's keep it. Everywhere has its tourist spots, right?

However, when he turned around and finally looked at Tongshan, who was idly gazing at the sky not far away, he felt a sudden sense of embarrassment.

broken.

You ate all of this melon!

Tong Shan sat on a rock on the ground, glancing at him with a half-smile, "Only now do you think of silencing him? Isn't it a bit too late?"

"Yes."

Ji Jue shook his head. "Can you keep this a secret for me?"

"Keep it secret?"

Tong Shan was amused. "Which part?"

Is it the part I've been keeping secret, or the part you just revealed, or... the part that shouldn't have been revealed to me?

Ji Jue sighed, "It's best to keep it all a secret."

Then, Tong Shan laughed.

Controlling the last bit of telekinesis, she helped him tidy up the mess, put the unconscious Ji Liu and Ji Xue into the back of the car, and restarted the ox-horse.

He sat in the back seat, rolled up his sleeves, and injected himself with the last dose of orange-red medicine. Visibly, a trace of color returned to his pale face.

Finally, he looked at Ji Jue.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"Ah, leave it to me."

Ji Jue nodded.

Then, Tong Shan lifted his uniform, revealing a bone knife that had pierced his heart all the way to the hilt. This was the most important reason why he had been able to live until now.

Grit your teeth and pull it out.

In an instant, his last vestiges of consciousness vanished completely.

Mercury flowed, covering his body and forcibly maintaining his last glimmer of life.

The armored vehicle, riddled with cracks, moved forward once more.

There was no one blocking their way anymore. Even wolves, at this critical juncture, probably wouldn't care about them, the fugitives... And so, they crossed the low hills, climbed over the last mud pit, and finally crossed the boundary set by the security bureau.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally emerged from the forest kingdom.

Looking back at the blood-red sky, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh.

Even though there are regrets, there's nothing we can do about it.

So be it.

He told himself, "That's it, Ji Jue."

However, when he raised his head and looked at the sky beyond the forest kingdom, he found that the same scarlet color permeated the sky.

The sky was still blood-red.

Amidst the roar, a formation of bombers swept across the sky, dropping napalm bombs toward the village below.

Suddenly, the flames spread and engulfed everything.

No wails or cries of anguish could be heard.

Only the rolling flames surged and rose into the sky, like a soul struggling in vain within the flames.

It turned the entire sky crimson.

Thus, the earth and the sky became indistinguishable.

Ji Jue stood there, stunned.

Stunned.

In that instant, he finally understood.

It turns out that the sky in hell is burned red with fire.

boom! ! !
As the flames spread, the forest kingdom behind them suddenly trembled, and a muffled hissing sound, like thunder, rose from the deepest part of the forest, the roar of countless souls reduced to beasts.

The reborn wolf opened its eyes.

Looking at everything before him, he burst into tears and wailed!

　Thank you everyone. I was stuck for a whole day, but I finished writing this part in one go.

　　Thinking that I shouldn't let it stop, I might as well release it all at once.

　　Thank you!

　　Also, starting tomorrow, monthly passes will be doubled, so please reserve some for me ORZ
