Chapter: 5640

These fragments originally belonged to Ye Chen's soul-stabbing sword.

While that thunderous shockwave, forged from wood and lightning, had already transformed into a black ash during the explosion!

At this moment, on the edge of the blank space several hundred meters in diameter, a woman severely injured was struggling to crawl forward.

She is Deng Yuan Gong Ruo!

When the explosion occurred, Gong Ruo was still ten paces away from the two people and did not receive the devastating impact that would have destroyed her.

But her current situation is also far from optimistic.

She was directly flipped out by a massive shockwave and has lost nearly half of her life force; her body is broken in half, with all her meridians severed, bones shattered, and internal organs suffering severe damage. Although she's not dead yet, it remains to be seen if she can survive this critical condition.

Gong Ruo was writhing in agony as she struggled to crawl away from the distant area, gasping for air while uttering a low curse: "That damned monarch... actually... actually deceived us for thirty whole years!"

"Once the mud tomb is opened, where's the good news about flesh dying and souls being reborn? All just lies... lies of demons!"

"This dog-bred woman... is just... just treating us like humans... human bombs..."

"But he deceived us by saying that when we encounter a life-or-death crisis, we can leave behind a thread of soul, take refuge in rebirth, and give us hope for new life..."

"However, actually... actually this king wanted to... to make us sacrifice our lives and souls together with the enemy when we face a strong opponent... and then open the mud tomb..."

"This move is truly too high-level... because it can force our enemies who want to eliminate us to also pose a great threat to that king and the entire White Tiger clan..."

"With this trap of opening the mud tomb, we four will be able to die without hesitation at the most critical moment, and give that king a way to resolve all the hidden dangers..."

"Oh, English master, Long Sheng's words are right, you are indeed too treacherous!"

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but mutter: "We four have served you for many years... yet you never treated us as humans. In your eyes, we're just like those explosives wrapped around the bodies of human bombs..."

Yun Ruohong clenched her teeth and continued to crawl laboriously towards a distant area.

She knew that today Long Sheng had blown up the mud tomb, while his own person and Ye Chen were already dead without exception. This was also the best opportunity for herself to disappear and hide out.

It's time now that she no longer wanted to return to the White Tiger clan or continue serving the English master, because this person in her eyes was truly terrifying. If she stayed with him, her future would probably be no better than Long Sheng's.

Rather than this, it's better to seize the opportunity and disappear from human society, wait for my injuries to heal, and then find a suitable place to hide out and live out the remaining two years or so of my life.

As far as she was concerned, living freely for two years would be much better than going back to serving the English master for another two hundred years.

At the thought of this, she gritted her teeth and continued to climb upwards with great difficulty towards the deep mountain.

...

Time reverted back to three minutes prior.

The Hot Spring Resort Hotel, which was not far from the explosion site. JrNovels.com
