Chapter 404: Certain Things Must Be Said
Poetry added an implicit charm to a woman. Love allowed them to be indomitable.
Hongyan’s white dress was red now. Her pretty and elegant eyes were capable of seducing others but she was the one seduced in this case.
A spirit flew out of the Voidbreaking Sword. It was a blue qilin appearing on the sword tip, carrying an unstoppable sharpness capable of slicing through the firmament and shattering great mountains.
“Pa!” Nangong Hongyan took out her purple zither. This was left behind by a senior from the Supreme Beauty Pavilion, made from violet sandalwood for the base and icy silkworm for the strings. So many courtesans adored it so it had an ancient and beautiful fragrance accumulated through time.
She flicked her finger and a sound wave surged forward. It turned into a round formation and ten shields to stop the Voidbreaking Sword.
“Boom! Boom!” The power at the half-step level was no match for a Giant and a spirit treasure. The sound wave was shattered and disappeared into the wind.
Blood oozed out from her mouth and down her white neck before stopping by her fair chest.
She had never lost so much blood before but there was no sense of pain.
“Boom!” She directly attacked with her zither but it was split into two. Both fell down at a corner of the prison.
Meanwhile, she turned into a fiery shuttle to head for the bottom of the prison.
“Where are you going, die!” Yue Chongzi raised his finger. Waves of energy condensed at the tip and turned into countless sword shadows rushing forward like a flood to chase after the plume of flame.
“Pluff!” Hongyan uttered a miserable cry. She stumbled and fell onto a pool of her own blood. Nevertheless, she got up and continued to delve deeper into the prison.
“Die!” Yue Chongzi became serious. He stepped on his sword and turned into a ray to give chase. If Hongyan were allowed to see Feiyun, his master wouldn’t let him off easy.
“Open!” Dark flames engulfed Feiyun’s hands as his muscles bulged and tore his sleeves. The chains stopping him were pulled out all the way and on the verge of snapping.
Another flame rose from Yama’s spine with the power capable of pushing mountains. Feng Feiyun’s hair was standing straight up with sweats running down his body. He pushed up on the formation with the same difficulty as if he was pushing up a world.
The hard stones on the ground had a foot deep mark of his soles with pebbles everywhere. He roared to show his rage.
At this time, he saw something and his red eyes became gentler. Nevertheless, he felt distressed while looking at the supreme beauty outside.
In the end, he still couldn’t break for formation created by Feng Mo. The formation pushed down again. He dropped the chains next to the pillar full of runes and felt as if a knife was carving out his heart. His throat felt dry as he hoarsely spoke: “Hong...yan…”
She stood outside with blood everywhere. There were more than ten wounds; a broken blade was still stuck on her back.
He had never seen her injured in this manner. Such an incredible woman had allowed herself to be in this sorry state.
Her voice was also dry and feeble: “I… I came on time, didn’t let you down, right?”
“Why are you here?! You shouldn’t have come here!” Feiyun was nearly screaming with his eyes becoming wet.
Hongyan smiled bitterly: “Where you are is where I should be. It’s fine, the only thing I know is that I’ll be lost once you are dead.”
“Why must you do this?”
Hongyan stubbornly replied: “Feng Feiyun, you haven’t told me that you love me.”
“I love you!” Feiyun never thought that he would say this to another woman but these words came out faster than anything.
“You still haven’t heard me say that I love you.” She sighed.
She wasn’t a woman who would utter these words so easily but she was afraid that there would be no other chance. She felt that she didn’t have long to live and might go even earlier than Feiyun.
