From cute to empress

Chapter 220 The Secret of the Heavenly Book Awakens

Heisha was as fast as a ghost, and my dagger couldn't touch him at all. His cold laughter echoed in my ears, like a call from hell, making me shudder.

"You're overestimating yourself!" Heisha grabbed my wrist with such force that it nearly crushed my bones. I groaned in pain, and the dagger in my hand fell to the ground.

"Meng Meng!" Zhen Youcai's eyes were bloodshot as he charged towards Heisha without hesitation. Ghost Hand Scholar followed closely behind him, golden light and sword shadows intertwined, surrounding Heisha.

However, Heisha was too powerful, and even Zhen Youcai and Ghost Hand Scholar could not harm him at all. He was like a beast from the abyss, and every attack brought with it the power to destroy the world, forcing Zhen Youcai and Ghost Hand Scholar to retreat again and again.

"It's useless, you can't stop me!" Heisha laughed arrogantly. His eyes fell on the "Heavenly Book" in my hand, and his greed was not concealed. "Hand over the "Heavenly Book" obediently, and I will consider sparing your lives!"

"Dream on!" I tightly guarded the "Heavenly Book", my heart filled with anger and unwillingness. This "Heavenly Book" carries the hopes of countless people, I will never let it fall into the hands of the Black Demon!

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty!" A hint of cruelty flashed in Heisha's eyes, and he formed his five fingers into claws and grabbed towards my chest.

"Mengmeng!" Zhen Youcai's eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to come over to save me, but he was knocked away by Heisha's palm and fell heavily to the ground.

"Talent!" I exclaimed, my heart aching.

"Hahaha, did you see that? This is what happens when you disobey me!" Heisha laughed arrogantly. "Now, it's your turn!"

Seeing the black evil's sharp claws about to fall on me, I closed my eyes in despair. Is this the end?

At this moment, the "Heavenly Book" in my hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force enveloped me. In my mind, those ancient words seemed to come alive, and pictures flashed before my eyes.

"Is this... the secret of the 'Heavenly Book'?" I murmured to myself, and suddenly a sense of enlightenment came to my mind.

"What's going on?" Heisha was also shocked by this sudden change. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but found that he was restrained by an invisible force and could not move.

I slowly opened my eyes, a light I had never seen before gleaming in them. I looked at Heisha, a cold smile curling up at the corner of my mouth. "Heisha, the game is over..."

A powerful force surged within me, and ancient texts arranged and combined in my mind, forming mysterious symbols. I felt a sense of unprecedented power, as if I had become one with the universe, controlling all things. Was this the power of the "Heavenly Book"?

"Heisha, do you think you're the only one who can become stronger?" I sneered and slowly raised my hand. Golden light poured out from the "Heavenly Book" and condensed into a golden sword at my fingertips.

"This... what kind of power is this?" Heisha looked at me in horror, his eyes full of fear.

I didn't answer, but simply swung my sword at him. The golden sword light flashed like a flash of lightning, instantly reaching Heisha. Heisha tried to dodge, but found himself bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

"Puchi!" The sword light penetrated Heisha's shoulder unhindered, bringing up a cloud of blood mist.

"Ah!" Heisha screamed, his face full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that Niu Mengmeng, who had just been toyed with by him, would become so powerful in an instant.

"Mengmeng, let me help you!" Zhen Youcai climbed up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his body and rejoining the battle. The two of us, one agile and versatile, the other powerful and powerful, worked together seamlessly, overwhelming Heisha.

Heisha became more and more frightened as he fought. He realized that he had underestimated Niu Mengmeng's strength and even more underestimated the power of the "Heavenly Book". If he continued like this, he would definitely lose!

"Damn it!" Heisha roared, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

My heart shuddered, and I felt a dangerous aura approaching. Before I could react, I heard Heisha laughing wildly, "Want to beat me? Dream on! Let me show you what true power is! Hahahaha..."

As Heisha laughed wildly, the black energy around him surged wildly, like boiling magma. A suffocating feeling of oppression swept over me, and I felt a tightness in my chest and difficulty breathing. Zhen Youcai protected me behind him and gritted his teeth, "Mengmeng, be careful!"

Heisha put his hands together and muttered something. The black air quickly gathered in his palms, forming a black energy ball, emitting a terrifying aura that made people's heart palpitate.

"This is... he is going to self-destruct!" Zhen Youcai's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

Self-destruction! That's a tactic that will destroy everything. With Black Demon's current strength, if he self-destructs, everything within a hundred miles will be reduced to ashes. There's no way we can escape!

"Hahaha! Niu Mengmeng, Zhen Youcai, aren't you very powerful? Buried with me!" Heisha looked like a madman, his eyes full of crazy hatred.

I gripped the golden sword tightly, a wave of sadness welling up in my heart. Was all our hard work ultimately going to be for nothing? Were Youcai and I destined to perish here?

No, I am not reconciled!

"Youcai, we can't let him succeed!" I said firmly, staring at Heisha with burning eyes, "Even if it takes all my strength, we must stop him!"

Zhen Youcai nodded heavily, a blazing fire in his eyes: "Okay! We are husband and wife, sharing life and death together!"

After saying that, we both mobilized all our strength at the same time, and the golden light and white sword energy intertwined together to form a huge beam of light, rushing straight towards Heisha.

"You are overestimating yourself!" Heisha sneered, and the black energy ball in his hand shone brightly, and was about to explode.

At the critical moment, a passage from the "Book of Heaven" suddenly flashed through my mind. It was... the art of fusion!

My heart moved, and I immediately told Zhen Youcai the profound meaning of this text.

"Mengmeng, are you sure? This is too risky!" Zhen Youcai hesitated.

"Believe me!" I didn't have time to explain, I could only choose to believe in the tacit understanding between us.

Zhen Youcai no longer hesitated. Our eyes met, each filled with determination. The next moment, the two forces merged without reservation. Golden light and white sword energy merged, forming an unprecedentedly powerful force that, like a flash of lightning, instantly struck the black energy ball in Heisha's hand.

"boom!"

There was a deafening roar, and the entire cave shook violently, sending countless pieces of debris raining down from the ceiling. The shockwave from the explosion sent us flying, sending us crashing heavily against the wall.

I struggled to stand, but I felt weak and my vision was blurry. I vaguely saw Zhen Youcai lying nearby, his life or death unknown.

"Cough cough..." I coughed out a mouthful of blood and tried hard to see the scene in front of me clearly.

The figure of Heisha had disappeared, leaving only rubble and smoke on the ground, proving the earth-shaking battle that had just taken place.

Did we...win?

I held on to my last breath, trying to crawl to Zhen Youcai's side, but suddenly I felt a strong suction coming, and the ground beneath my feet began to collapse...

"You have talent..." I reached out my hand in despair, but could only watch him and myself being swallowed by the darkness...

Darkness, endless darkness. I felt like I was trapped in a sealed coffin, unable to breathe, unable to move. Only the rumbling sound echoed in my ears, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, like the roar of a giant beast.

"Youcai! Youcai! Where are you?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but I heard no response. Only the empty echo was infinitely amplified in the darkness, adding to the fear.

My consciousness began to blur, and the pain in my body gradually became numb. Only the worry about Zhen Youcai was like a sharp knife, piercing my heart. I can't die! I must find him!

I don't know how long it took, but the deafening sound in my ears finally subsided, replaced by a deathly silence. I tried hard to open my heavy eyelids, but all I could see was a blur of darkness.

I tried to move my fingers, but found myself pinned under a heavy boulder, unable to move. I took a deep breath and tried to call out Zhen Youcai's name again, but my throat was dry and I could only moan faintly.

"Mengmeng... cough cough..."

Just when I was about to despair, a faint voice suddenly reached my ears. I immediately perked up and tried to open my eyes wide, trying to see the direction from which the voice came.

"Youcai! Is that you? Where are you?" I asked excitedly, my voice trembling with weakness.

"I... ahem... I'm here..."

A faint sound came again. I looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a blurry shadow not far away.

"Talent! I'm here! I..."

I wanted to shout loudly to tell him my location, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my chest, my vision went black, and I lost consciousness again.

“…Mengmeng…”

In a trance, I seemed to hear Zhen Youcai calling me, but I was no longer able to respond and could only let the darkness swallow me completely...

"Mengmeng! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Cough cough..."

who is it? Who is calling me?
