Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qinghan Mianxue's hands trembled slightly as she untied her waistband.

The thin dress slid down her skin to the ground, and then her warm, soft body embraced Qi Zhimu.

The warmth he received ignited a flame in his heart, which had been as still as stagnant water, and it grew increasingly turbulent.

The answer is self-evident.

Mandarin ducks with intertwined necks, their cloud-like hair adorned, their crimson petals like snow against the misty spring mountains.

Jingliu stood silently in front of the study door.

The familiar sounds, no longer suppressed, pierced her, leaving her numb.

In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​knocking on the door to say goodbye, and quietly turned and left.

……

In the expeditionary force that was to defeat Hulei, the vanguard was Xingcha Nei.

Bai Heng skillfully piloted the star raft across the sea of ​​stars, but his peripheral vision fell on Jing Liu in the passenger seat.

I always felt that something was off about her after she went back and said goodbye to Qi Zhimu.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

I really want to ask, but...

Bai Heng considers himself to have keen intuition.

She had a premonition that if she didn't speak up at this moment, she might not even be able to remain friends.

Enough, enough. Unwarranted curiosity is too dangerous. Let's focus on paving the way for the vast fleet behind us.

The vast fleet, concealed within the imaginary energy concealment crystal wall, proceeded unnoticed by any evil beings, heading towards the designated coordinates in the starry sea.

……

"Report—!"

The scout's anxious footsteps broke the silence inside the beast ship.

The bowl of blood medicine in Hu Lei's hand, which had just been prepared and was still steaming hot, trembled slightly.

"Honorable Khan Hulei! The Luofu Cloud Cavalry army is pressing in! Their numbers... their numbers are overwhelming, they cannot be counted in a short time!"

"...How did the celestial vessel know we were here?!"

Hu Lei was stunned. He tilted his head back and drank the blood medicine, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

He made a decisive decision without the slightest desire to prolong the battle.

"Order all wolf cubs to abandon the stronghold, board the beast ships, and evacuate at full speed!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

As the fleet of beast ships ascended in an attempt to break free of the galaxy's gravity, they discovered, to their despair—

The outer perimeter of the galaxy, which is over 800 light-years in diameter, has long been completely blocked by a dense array of celestial chariots.

Hu Lei chose a relatively weak point in the defense to break through, but he ended up running right into the trap that Jing Yuan had anticipated and set up.

After paying the price of destroying hundreds of beast ships, Hu Lei's beast ship was heavily damaged by concentrated fire and crashed towards a desolate planet on the edge of the star system, leaving behind a strange smell of meat.

"roar--!"

With a wolf howl that echoed for miles around, Moon Frenzy was fully unleashed.

Near the crash site, the two Cloud Rider squads responsible for delaying the enemy were torn to shreds by the blood-red giant wolf before they even had time to form ranks.

The blood soaked the soil, and the stench further fueled the ferocity of the remaining wolves, making their maddened state even more ferocious.

Just as Hu Lei was preparing to lead his remaining troops to continue their breakout, Bai Heng's starship tore through the atmosphere and arrived in an instant with a piercing sonic boom.

The hatch opened, and a figure in military uniform leaped down, landing silently not far from Hulei.

Hu Lei narrowed his eyes, sizing up the lone person blocking his way.

Only one person?

Hu Lei quickly recognized him: Luo Fu Sword Master, Jing Liu.

That fiend who killed countless of his wolf cubs, a name that terrified everyone in Buli.

"Good, very good!"

Hu Lei laughed instead of getting angry; his muscles bulged beneath his mane, and his sharp claws protruded menacingly.

"Once we capture you, all those Cloud Cavalry will hesitate to attack you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Lei transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, its claws carrying a terrifying, tearing-through-all force, aimed straight for Jing Liu's throat.

Jingliu stood still, without moving an inch.

A gust of wind howled and blew her long hair, but it couldn't dispel the deep, unyielding gloom in her eyes.

Before setting off, the tender, focused breathing in the study easily conjures up images of intertwined figures within.

The mere thought of that scene was like a thorn piercing her heart, leaving a wound that was difficult to heal.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you the only ones who can have a master and want a master without any restraint?

Since I can't have it... then let everything in this world share my pain.

The claws were already upon them.

The mirror flow finally started moving.

Instead of dodging, it leaped lightly into the air, braving the stench.

His crimson eyes suddenly lost all their luster, devoid of any fighting spirit, only displaying a chillingly pure brutality.

The moon-like sword light slashed down with a deafening roar, so fast that Hu Lei could only barely catch a glimpse of the icy afterimage.

boom--!

The earth let out a painful groan.

The moment the sword light fell to the ground, a crack thousands of meters long instantly spread out.

Hu Lei, along with the hill beneath his feet, was cleaved in two by this single sword strike!

A terrifyingly low temperature then erupted, and the air within a radius of dozens of miles instantly froze into ice.

The wolves that followed the charge didn't even have time to howl before they were turned into shimmering ice sculptures.

Hu Lei let out a furious battle roar, and half of his body writhed wildly on the ice, with flesh buds growing rapidly. In just a breath, the two halves of his body were rejoined and restored.

Such terrifying regenerative ability is enough to terrify countless Cloud Riders.

"You can't kill me!"

Roaring, it lunged at Mirror Stream once more.

Jingliu remained expressionless, flicked his wrist, and the sword fell again.

puff!

Hu Lei's right arm was severed at the root.

Another sword strike sent his left leg flying.

With another sword strike, his newly regenerated right arm was lost once more.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.

Mirror Flow is like an emotionless machine, each sword strike precisely avoiding Thunder's torso, solely to sever his limbs and sever his tendons and bones.

She was venting.

He poured all his resentment at his unfulfilled desire for his master and his deep-seated jealousy of the two sisters onto this wretched creature.

Hu Lei's proud regenerative ability has now become his greatest curse.

It was restored time and time again, only to be dismembered again and again.

Blood stained the frozen ground a hundred meters deep, but Jing Liu's military uniform remained spotless, so clean and tidy that it sent chills down one's spine.

"Enough! Mirror Flow!"

Hu Lei was on the verge of collapse.

He had never seen such a crazed human being, and he roared as he retreated.

"You can never kill me! As long as I have a breath left, I can..."

"Noisy."

Jing Liu coldly uttered two words, his eyes radiating a captivating red light.

The next second, the world changed color.

Thousands of flying swords formed from extremely cold ice appeared in mid-air, their tips pointing towards thunder.

Since you can't kill him, then shut up forever.

A rain of swords fell from the sky like a violent hailstorm.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The dense, penetrating sounds of flesh being pierced were enough to send chills down one's spine.

Hu Lei didn't even have time to scream before his body was completely pierced by thousands of ice swords, turning him into a giant hedgehog.

An extreme cold erupted, and a majestic iceberg, glowing with a ghostly blue light, rose from the ground, completely freezing his distorted face within it.

When Danfeng and Jingyuan led the main force to arrive, this was the scene they saw.

On the desolate wasteland frozen to the horizon, a colossal ice prison stands tall.

Jingliu stood alone atop the ice prison, his long hair dancing wildly in the wind, his back view utterly desolate.

This……

The battle-hardened Cloud Cavalry gasped, their hands gripping their weapons trembling uncontrollably.

Danfeng gazed at the ice prison, his fingertips already fully formed, the prepared spell quietly dissipating.

He shook his head.

Given the current situation, there is absolutely no need for him to accompany the expedition.

Jing Yuan looked up at that familiar back, and for some reason, a chill he had never felt before welled up in his heart.

It wasn't because the surrounding environment was bitterly cold, but because... Master had changed.

That strict but kind master is gone.

Instead, a deadly sword, stained with ferocity and madness, was drawn from its sheath.

"Master..."

Jing Yuan muttered to himself, not daring to step forward.

Bai Heng, who was standing to the side, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and swallowed.

"Good heavens... this isn't a war, it's a scene of dismemberment and torture! What on earth did Hu Lei do to offend this old lady?"
