Chapter 487 - 483: All My Heart

Those words caused Long Chen’s pupils to constrict to their absolute narrowest limits, his breathing staggered for a moment, and he swiftly turned his head with a snap of his body, wielding his sword defensively. Yet his heart violently shook at what he saw!

He Yanglei was unharmed!

To frighteningly add, he was directly beside Lian Yu with a faint smile on his face. There was no more than a few inches of space between them! Her body was tense as if squeezed by some unknown power, and her clothing tightly clung against her, revealing every exquisite curve of her body to the world. But this normally mouthwatering sight could not be enjoyed as her eyes were widened, reddened and popping.

"LET HER GO!" Long Chen’s anger exploded, he crazily roared as he infused his sword with astral force, vertically slicing at He Yanglei’s head. If it connected, the bloody scene of He Yanglei’s split body might occur, a much wanted sight. But alas, He Yanglei merely revealed a sneer as he moved his arm a little, causing Lian Yu to blur in the trajectory of the incoming sword.

"No!" Long Chen’s scalp became numb as he imagined splitting Lian Yu in half with his own blade, hectically urging his Astral Soul to retract his unleashed power, causing an unexpected feedback and backlash that sent him flying backwards. He crashed heavily into the metal railing of the boat, bending its frame, and his bones producing bone-numbing cracking noises on impact.

Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Long Chen hurriedly checked to see Lian Yu’s status, fear engulfing his turbulent heart. Only when he saw her unharmed, his astral force having been fully retracted in time, did he relax with a soft breath of relief. Still, she was under He Yanglei’s complete control.

The current situation was far from good, his mind circulating a thousand miles a minute in hopes of finding an out, a solution, a ray of hope to escape this predicament.

"Amusing," He Yanglei chuckled with a sinister glance at Lian Yu’s exceptional curves, marveling at those bouncing mounds of flesh that seemed almost criminal. With her beautiful countenance and those breathtaking sapphire-like eyes, he found himself invigorated and refreshed with every look. "What an extraordinary woman," he commented with a gentle caress of her cheek.

Lian Yu was merely at the Sky Ruler Phase, even weaker than Shui Linghe, so she was only able to twist her chin away from his hand. Her efforts were futile as he still swept her cheek with his fingertips, sending chills down her spine. She felt his lust and desire through his touch.

"Don’t you dare touch her!" Long Chen gnashed his teeth, his eyes murderous and infused with endless desire to slaughter. The trail of blood leaking from the edges of his mouth gave him a ghastly appearance, seemingly bedeviled and crazed. But his words accomplished as much as Lian Yu’s resistance.

He Yanglei laughed, "You’re really something, you know? Do you even know how you’re still alive? Why?" As he said this, he waved his hand, and the stupefied crew members who were gawking at Long Chen’s assault exploded all at once. Their deaths were abrupt, sending bloody mist wildly through the air. They might not even know they had died till they reached Hell.

The entire boat was a scene directly out of the most terrifying horror story, with blood flowing through every crevice, lingering in the air, overwhelming the senses. The only ones alive on this once lively boat were Shui Linghe, Lian Yu, Long Chen, and He Yanglei.

Long Chen tightly clenched his grip around his sword until his knuckles creaked. Long Chen wasn’t foolish; he was completely outmatched by his opponent. If he was alone, he would run without hesitation. He was not above a strategic retreat in the face of insurmountable odds. Unfortunately, he had cards left to play and felt confident of a favorable outcome before, leading to this result.

But reality did not match his beliefs. His talisman was nullified by the overseer of this world without a single word, and his strongest attack was dodged!

Normally, cultivators at the Spatial Resonance Phase could leave a Spatial Mark on a target, allowing an attack to follow the mark, and Spatial Prison to lock down targets. But this wasn’t very effective on cultivators of the same ripples of Spatial Resonance, and even less effective on cultivators of a higher level.

When he faced Wu Jiao, a Sky Ruler Phase expert at the Qi Condensation Realm, he had survived that as well!

When he was lost in that underground cavern for days, unable to escape with no food or water, he dug with all his might until he discovered an unassuming black ring stuck in the dirt! His entire life changed that day, allowing him to rise from a lowly regarded trash to a supreme genius!

The world was filled with all sorts of possibilities. Even Hong Ru was revived, given a second life after death!

What’s important is to never give up in the face of any adversity!

Never!

NEVER!

He’ll find a way to save himself and Lian Yu, kill He Yanglei, and benefit from this calamity! He had faith, in himself, in Lian Yu, and in his own abilities. He stared into Lian Yu’s eyes, displaying his calm and confident gaze, giving her a reassuring smile.

’Don’t worry, we’ll be fine! Trust me!’ His thoughts connected with Lian Yu, who knew that reassuring look as if it was the back of her hand. A seed filled with conviction was born in her heart, and her thoughts calmed down.

’That’s right. You’ll never abandon me, and I’ll always trust you with all my heart. We’ll survive together. I know we will.’ She settled down after seeing Long Chen’s smile, revealing a beautiful smile of her own filled with her truest feelings. Even in their most desperate situation, as long as they had each other, what couldn’t they overcome?

He Yanglei inspected the shackles, awed by Long Chen’s actions of actually placing them on. If he was in that situation, he’d never sacrifice himself for anyone.

"Wow. I know I called you an idiot before, but fuck, you’re really one stupid little kid." As he said those words, he twisted Lian Yu around to face him, witnessing her calm gaze as she floated under her power. The light of fearlessness lit within her gorgeously sapphire-like eyes, as if she was entirely unworried about her current predicament.

’Just you wait. You’ll get yours.’ Her thoughts and expressions were clear and serene. Even if He Yanglei sought to use her body, she believed that Long Chen would never allow such a thing. She trusted him to save her.

Always.

"You’re both something else," unable to hold back from saying this, his expression the picture of being in disbelief, he moved his bloody hand away from her temple. Then, He Yanglei’s hand slowly became a claw.

PSH!

He thrusted that arm into Lian Yu’s chest, piercing completely through to the other side, her still beating heart within his bloody grasp.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!
