Chapter 428: Chapter 430: Breakthrough to Advanced Innate (Three)
“Lan Yue, did you deceive me?”
This woman had actually deceived her and used her!
She slowly closed her eyes, her heart trembling incessantly.
Who could have imagined the excitement she felt upon learning she was the Moon Venerate? But now, what had all her efforts become but a colossal joke?
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, Qi Rong threw back her head and laughed uproariously, her smile filled with anger and a chilling killing intent, but above all, regret…
For Lan Yue’s sake, she had fallen out with Luo Yin, and now it turned out she was a fake. Was there anything more tragic than this?
Hui Ying looked on at Lan Yue with an expressionless face, a flicker of murderous intent flashing through his eyes. Then, he slowly lifted his hand, and with a booming sound, a force shot out, striking the jade ring on her finger.
Bang!
Under the impact of that force, the jade ring shattered into pieces, and suddenly a longsword split the air, standing erect before the crowd…
It was a longsword completely red, with a massive Flame Dragon pattern extending from the tip to the hilt. The dragon’s tail coiled, and a faint red glow emanated from the dragon’s body, gradually setting the entire sword ablaze with roaring flames, turning everyone’s gaze red.
The longsword stood still in mid-air, as if it were a superior being gazing down at all living creatures.
Upon seeing this sword, Mu Ruyue felt an exceptionally familiar sensation, as though she had encountered it before.
“No!”
Lan Yue’s face changed drastically, and with a light tap of her toes in the air, she lunged toward the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword. But just as she was about to grab it, the sword seemed to disdain her, avoiding her grasp.
Ding!
The Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword emitted a clear ringing sound and then swooshed toward Mu Ruyue.
A gust of wind suddenly arose.
The red light made the woman even more stunningly beautiful. Her black hair whirled in the fierce wind, her entire being exuding a hauntingly seductive power.
The white clothing merged with the red light, creating an exceptionally dazzling and heart-stopping beauty.
The onlookers were stunned, staring in disbelief at the breathtaking figure within the flames. In that moment, it seemed as though they had all glimpsed that peerless powerhouse from a thousand years prior.
She did not have the forced imitation of Lan Yue, but rather an imposing presence that radiated from within, leaving everyone in awe…
Though the woman was not strong, at this moment, not a single person dared to call her weak.
Even if she was not powerful now, one day she would ascend to that peak position…
Boom!
A powerful force pierced into her mind, and in an instant, her head felt like it was about to explode, her face turning deathly pale. Her white clothes danced wildly in the wind, stunningly breathtaking.
“The contract!”
Qi Rong’s face changed, and she screamed, “Impossible, the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword has made a contract with her! This is impossible!”
Even though Lan Yue held the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword, Qi Rong knew clearly that the sword did not acknowledge Lan Yue as its master. Lan Yue’s explanation was the lack of spiritual power.
Yet she had foolishly believed her…
Now, the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword had of its own accord made a contract with that woman? Especially since she had determined the woman to be a fraud, even going so far as to want to extract her soul to enhance Lan Yue’s strength.
Perhaps recalling something, Qi Rong’s aged body trembled violently, her eyes slowly widening in shock and despair.
“Coincidence, this is just a coincidence.”
That was all Qi Rong could do to comfort herself now; anything beyond that was too dreadful for her to imagine…
