Chapter 391: War Correspondent (2/10, Autumn Subscription)

"Ye Ge! Ye Ge! Badass, badass! Well said, who gives a damn about the aberrations! Charge, charge! Kill this woman, then sweep through those human-bone kites, and we'll welcome Lord Han's triumphant return together!!"

Jing Yan excitedly clenched his fists, shouting at the top of his lungs—until he saw a human-bone kite diving down not far away, which scared him pale in an instant, and he hurriedly ran toward the Guard Team members.

And at this moment, Fang Yue had already chased Ma Ling'er and run out another stretch of road.

One chasing, one fleeing—they actually ran through most of Gu Yue Cun in one go.

The survivors of Gu Yue Cun who were still holding out in resistance, upon seeing this scene, were all dumbfounded.

What then ignited was an intense will to survive!

The survivors who had been in utter despair now seemed to see the hope of living.

Who is Fang Yue?

The top boss of Gu Yue Cun, second only to Lord Han!

Who is Ma Ling'er? The top boss of the Wu Yu tribe this time!

Now our top boss is chasing the enemy's top boss to hack her down—if this isn't the hope of victory, then what is?

Once our top boss kills Ma Ling'er, is it still far before they get reinforcements and sweep away the remaining aberrations?

In a desperate situation, the worst thing is seeing no hope.

And now, everyone saw hope; they regained the will to fight, became stirred up, became frenzied!

The originally one-sided situation seemed to faintly show a turning point.

Although still defending in a sorry state, it was no longer the kind of defense where one gives up resistance, but a defense carrying the belief of staying alive.

And most importantly, those human-bone kites, upon seeing their royal adult being hunted down by Fang Yue, one after another abandoned their current targets and dove toward Fang Yue in pursuit.

Yet Fang Yue's speed was indeed no match for Ma Ling'er's, but it was much stronger than these low-level human-bone kites.

He was like walking a dog—a swarm of dark human-bone kites behind him, Ma Ling'er being hunted down in front.

Along the way, who knew how much firepower he drew.

Ma Ling'er took one look at the situation and knew she couldn't keep running, or where would the royal family's dignity be.

Gritting her teeth, she suddenly stopped her steps and whipped her head back to look at Fang Yue.

"Yese Liming, you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"If you're not afraid, why were you running?"

"I…"

Ma Ling'er was furious, because she truly couldn't retort.

Fang Yue's ability to self-destruct infinitely was as troublesome as a hedgehog, leaving her with no way to strike.

Watching Fang Yue getting closer and closer, a cold glint flashed in Ma Ling'er's eyes—whoosh—she turned into a white afterimage and charged straight at Fang Yue.

Almost the instant Ma Ling'er made her move…

"Blazing Fire Explosion!!"

Plum blossoms blooming a third time!!

Intense high temperature exploded outward, the blast wave directly blowing away the surrounding dust.

At the same time, Ma Ling'er's figure, sent flying backward and rolling on the ground in a sorry state, came into view of all the human-bone kites.

"Your Highness!"

"Lord Sixth Princess!"

The human-bone kites behind, dense and countless, blotted out the sky as they buzzed and dove toward Fang Yue.

Their packed numbers resembled a dark, oppressive black cloud descending from the heavens!

Fang Yue's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and roared.

"You all are…seeking death!!!"

In the Time Rewind, Fang Yue became light.

Blazing light! Ferocious light!

A violent explosion erupted once again, blasting the human-bone kites into utter chaos.

But, this was only a portion of them.

Because there were simply too many human-bone kites.

And…Fang Yue's Blazing Fire Explosion had grown weaker.

After this wave, even more human-bone kites surged toward Fang Yue like a tide, keeping him frantically busy—so much so that even during the Time Rewind, he pulled out the Fire Blade from the Ningtai Ring and hacked wildly.

His health bar violently rose and fell; every time it was about to hit the brink, Fang Yue would use 【Blazing Fire Explosion】 to blast the human-bone kites apart, blow open a patch of clear space, and pant to recover health.

"Huh?"

Ma Ling'er suddenly narrowed her eyes, because she had finally discovered Fang Yue's secret.

That was—the power of his self-destruction was gradually declining!

The Blazing Fire Explosion that could once blast open a swath now could only blast a circle around him, yet the side effects and the drain it brought had not diminished in the slightest.

Fang Yue was already a spent force at the end of his tether!

"All of you, fall back! His head is mine!"

Ma Ling'er shouted, and the human-bone kites retreated one after another, hovering in the high sky.

And beneath the black cloud was Fang Yue's body, covered in wounds.

Although the injuries were visibly recovering at a rapid pace, his stamina was clearly overloaded and drained.

He stared at Ma Ling'er ahead, panting, and sneered: "What? Now you dare come one-on-one against me? And this is the princess of the Wu Yu tribe?"

"The Wu Yu tribe is one body to begin with. Fighting the Wu Yu tribe one-on-one is no different from fighting me alone."

Ma Ling'er spoke shameless words, narrowed her eyes, and with a buzz, she was right in front of Fang Yue.

Her severed blade-right arm had long since grown back, and she slashed straight at Fang Yue's chest.

In her line of sight, Fang Yue's eyeballs were moving slowly, as if trying to keep up with her movements, while violent firelight erupted from within his body.

Ma Ling'er had been prepared and retreated backward.

But suddenly, a large hand directly clamped down on her shoulder bone.

Her expression changed, only to see Fang Yue grin ferociously: "I sold you a flaw and you came right over — you really are easy enough to fool!"

"Wait…"

Art… is an explosion!!

Boom—

The Blazing Fire Explosion he had deliberately stored up detonated violently once again.

The large crater the ground had already been blasted into grew even bigger by several degrees.

"Lady Wang Nu?!"

"How could this be?!"

From within the Black Cloud, the Human-Bone Kites cried out in alarm, while amid the blast, Ma Ling'er's disheveled figure retreated rapidly.

"Time Reversal!"

Fang Yue roared, channeling his internal force, condensing the Fire Blade, which burst apart with a bang into a sky-filling shower of spark fragments that shot out, sweeping toward the dense barrage of bullets and toward Ma Ling'er's retreating figure.

"Fire Feather!!"

2555!

3777!

2226!

2152!

Ma Ling'er, charred black all over, had nowhere to dodge; she was covered by the Fire Feather fragments, pierced through, took damage, and her rapid retreat came to a halt.

And in that very instant, Fang Yue's figure charged madly toward Ma Ling'er.

"Lady Wang Nu!"

The Black Cloud in the sky pressed down once more, but a step too late.

"Xiao Ye!!"

From the nearby ruins, a group of people burst out — it was Hua Wuye leading the remaining team members, rushing over to provide support.

But Fang Yue could no longer hear anything.

His focus was unprecedentedly intense; he even felt as if everything around him had slowed down, and in his eyes there was only Ma Ling'er, only Ma Ling'er!!

His eyes were bloodshot, gradually darkening, like a drop of ink falling into the whites, slowly spreading — eerie!

Fang Yue's strange change in his pupils made Ma Ling'er freeze for an instant, then she revealed a look of wild joy: "You've been possessed by an Eerie—"

Bang!!

A ceramic bottle, without any defense, smashed into her face.

The bottle shattered, the black strange oil inside bursting out and splashing all over her.

This was clearly… the Inextinguishable Oil!!
