Himmlischer König

Kapitel 61

The force pulling her away vanished instantly...

Lotus seemed unable to stop in time; her body lurched backward, falling backward onto her back. Behind her lay a sheer, towering snow cliff from which she would be shattered to pieces upon impact…

Ye Chuhan's face paled in surprise, and she instinctively cried out, "Lotus—"

He leaped forward and tightly grasped Lianhua's left hand, only to be startled to see her eyes suddenly dim. His heart sank, and a sharp pain shot through his chest...

Ye Chuhan's body trembled! A drop of bright red blood dripped from the corner of her thin lips…

He stared wide-eyed at Lianhua in disbelief, his hand still gripping her right hand tightly. He slowly lowered his head, looking at his own chest—

In that life-or-death moment, as he reached out to save her, Lianhua struck him hard in the chest with her palm. He could even clearly hear the sound of his ribs breaking...

While he was saving her, she attacked him!

Ye Chuhan's gaze gradually darkened, and slowly, a hint of sorrow appeared on his face. He even laughed, a gruesome, crimson stain of blood on the corner of his lips.

"Lotus, do you really want my life?"

"Lotus dares not..." Lotus tried her best to steady her breathing, but her voice still trembled. "I beg the sect leader... to spare Murong Yin's life. Afterwards... I will return to the Tianshan Snow Sect to apologize to the sect leader!"

The light in Ye Chuhan's eyes gradually frosted over, becoming icy and chilling. Drops of bright red blood, like red coral beads, slid down the corners of his lips, one by one...

He spoke each word with chilling coldness, "Murong Yin—he must die!"

With a single word!

Ye Chuhan suddenly turned around, his figure soaring into the air like a white crane, the Azure Jade Sword drawing a sharp arc in his hand, directly stabbing towards the still unconscious Murong Yin!

Lotus, her face deathly pale, rushed forward, crying out in terror, "Don't kill him—"

The Azure Jade Sword thrust straight down!

The sword pierced flesh with a dull thud, but Ye Chuhan's eyes widened suddenly, his gaze shifting rapidly in an instant, and his hand gripping the Azure Jade Sword trembled uncontrollably.

Just as the Azure Jade Sword was about to pierce Murong Yin.

Lianhua threw herself on Murong Yin without hesitation, shielding him with her own body.

The Azure Jade Sword pierced Lotus's arm, blood gushing out. Her body was exhausted from the fierce battle, but her bright eyes remained remarkably calm. "If you want to kill him, kill me first!"

"Why?!" Ye Chuhan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly turned around and took a step back. He withdrew the Azure Jade Sword from the injured arm of Lotus Hand. His gaze was as cold as a snow cave, and his voice was as clear and cold as snow.

"Even if you protect him like this, he will still hate you after he wakes up, because the entire Murong family died because of you at the Tianshan Snow Gate, suffocated to death in the secret passage."

Lianhua held Murong Yin in her arms, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Did you do this?

"They're only going to die if they try to escape!" Ye Chuhan looked at her coldly, a sharp pain shooting through his chest. The blood at the corner of his lips had already congealed, and he couldn't help but growl.

"Lotus, could it be... that you're going to betray me too?!"

"I will not betray the sect leader. If it were the sect leader who is on the verge of death today, I would protect the sect leader at all costs." Lotus was slightly out of breath, but her eyes were still as clear as ever. "Now I only ask the sect leader to spare Murong Yin's life. I will send him down the mountain and then I will definitely come back to apologize to the sect leader!"

She begged him!

Ye Chuhan's gaze shifted silently. With each breath, the wound in her chest aggravated her pain, bringing a suffocating, icy agony, as if being cut by a thousand knives.

"For him, you wouldn't mind even dying?"

"For him, Lotus is willing to die!"

At the summit of the snowy plateau.

Lianhua held the unconscious Murong Yin, looking up at Ye Chuhan with a resolute gaze. Blood dripped from her arm, soaking Murong Yin's bright yellow robes. Murong Yin's breath was weak, as if he were dead.

Ye Chuhan, dressed in a snow-white fur coat, fixed her cold gaze on the girl a few steps away.

A murderous intent suddenly surged forth from his narrow eyes like a whirlwind...

Absolutely unbelievable, Ye Chuhan simply stood there silently, yet an incomparably powerful force emanated from him, like a raging storm, carrying the power to destroy everything in the world, howling outwards...

The lotus flower suddenly trembled! This was Ye Chuhan's power, almost demonic!

A chilling killing intent surged forth like an avalanche, splitting cliffs in its wake. Lianhua turned around in shock, instinctively protecting the unconscious Murong Yin, when she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest!

The snow on the Tianshan Mountains, which had been silent for millennia, seemed to collapse at that moment...

It's broken...

A snow waterfall rose from the sky, as swift as a jade dragon descending a mountain, sweeping towards Lianhua and Murong Yin. The wind whipped up the snow, and Lianhua, being in the center of the waterfall, could not resist. She could only desperately hold onto Murong Yin, tightly closing her eyes, feeling that she and he would be crushed by the raging snow at any moment...

A deafening roar filled her ears. She closed her eyes desperately, shielding the unconscious Murong Yin with her own body from the fatal blow. She felt as if her skin was being slashed by a sharp blade, cracking open inch by inch…

However.

Just when she felt she was about to suffocate and die in agony!

Suddenly... the clouds and fog dissipated, and the storm subsided.

All was silent.

I've forgotten how much time has passed...
