Chapter 313 He Won't Die
Hui looked at them and shook her head: "It's a pity, you know my secret. Well, there's nothing I can do about it..."
His eyes darkened: "I'll see you off too."
Comet raised his hand, and the blood mist condensed in his palm once more.
But just then, an even thicker black mist slowly drifted in from behind Xiao Chu.
The black mist was as deep as night, churning and rolling, as if something was wriggling inside.
Comet paused, and the blood mist stopped in mid-air.
He stared at the black mist, his brows furrowing.
The black mist grew thicker and thicker, gradually coalescing into a blurry humanoid silhouette, blocking Xiao Chu and Chen's way.
The comet's blood mist retreated, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
"Who are you?" Hui's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible wariness.
He felt that the black mist in front of him was both familiar and strange.
What he was familiar with was the dark and cold demonic energy, but what was unfamiliar was the powerful force it contained, which far exceeded his understanding.
A deep voice came from the black mist, as if it came from the bottom of an abyss, and every word carried a chilling pressure.
"I am your nightmare."
Hui paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Such arrogance."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible but powerful pressure suddenly descended upon Hui.
The oppressive aura was as heavy as a mountain and as cold as an abyss, instantly making him feel short of breath and dizzy.
His expression changed drastically, and he tried to back away, but found that his body was as if nailed to the spot, unable to move.
What... what kind of power is this?!
A storm raged in Hui's heart.
He has lived for so many years and has seen countless powerful figures, even fighting against beings like Emperor Lin.
But he had never felt such terrifying pressure before.
Because this dark pressure contained the purest malice, as if it wanted to devour all light and crush all life.
Cold sweat trickled down Hui's forehead.
He stared intently at the black mist, his mind racing as he considered how to escape.
Just then, the black mist suddenly rippled.
With a flash of insight, Hui seized the moment and his body suddenly turned into a blood mist and dispersed.
The blood mist did not attack, but instead quickly surged towards the direction of the dust.
"Watch out!" Xiao Chu exclaimed.
Dust reacted and tried to dodge, but the blood mist was too fast!
The blood mist instantly enveloped Chen, then suddenly contracted, taking Chen with it and disappearing from the spot.
The whole process took less than a second.
By the time Xiao Chu realized what was happening, Chen had already disappeared.
The black mist fluctuated violently, seemingly wanting to give chase, but ultimately it did not move.
It slowly turned around, facing Xiao Chu and Fu Gui'er.
Just then, another commotion came from not far away.
Several figures rushed out of the woods and hurried toward this place.
It was Di Lin and Yun Feng.
Upon seeing Fugui'er lying on the ground, everyone's faces darkened.
"We're late," Yun Feng said in a low voice.
Xiao Chu looked up at Di Lin, and tears finally fell.
"He took Chen away!" Xiao Chu's voice trembled with tears. "Hui took Chen away!"
Ye Shang frowned slightly: "Should I go and save him?"
Di Lin remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Trust me," he said calmly, "Chen will be safe for the time being."
"Take Fugui back first." Di Lin stood up, looking at Fugui lying motionless on the ground with a complicated expression.
Yun Feng nodded, took off his outer robe, and covered Fu Gui'er with it.
The group carefully lifted Fugui'er up, preparing to leave.
Xiao Shu stood aside, watching all this, her face turning pale.
He never expected that something like this would happen on Phantom Moon Reef.
Before he came, he was thinking of bringing them flowers back with him.
But now...
He looked around at the strange flowers and plants, and suddenly felt that these beautiful things had changed, each one baring its fangs and claws, trying to drag him into the abyss.
"Let's go." Yun Feng patted Xiao Shu on the shoulder.
Xiao Shu nodded, took one last look at the mysterious island under the moonlight, and then turned to follow the group.
The group passed through the barrier and left Illusion Moon Reef.
The moonlight continued to shine quietly on the sea and on the island.
The glowing flowers and singing vines continued to grow and bloom on their own, as if the bloody battle had never happened.
Deep within the bushes, a pair of dark eyes lurked, watching them intently...
------------
Tiger City.
Yuan Xiao didn't sleep a wink all night.
She sat by the window, gazing at the full moon in the sky, her heart filled with unease.
As dawn approached, noises finally came from outside.
Yuan Xiao immediately stood up and quickly walked out of the room.
In the castle hall, Di Lin and his entourage returned.
Seeing their somber expressions and the things wrapped in their robes, Yuan Xiao's heart sank to the bottom.
“This is…” Her voice trembled slightly.
Yun Feng didn't speak, but gently placed the package on the ground and lifted a corner of his outer robe.
Fu Gui'er's pale face was revealed, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was a bloody hole in his chest, as if he had stopped breathing.
Yuan Xiao covered her mouth, took a step back, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"How could this be..." she murmured to herself, "How could this happen..."
The entire hall was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.
A voice suddenly rang out.
"Don't worry, he won't die."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent, heavy hall.
Everyone looked up sharply, towards the source of the sound.
Standing in the corner, Ao Shuang still maintained her nonchalant demeanor, though her brows were slightly furrowed as she gazed at Fu Gui'er, who was covered by an outer robe.
Yuan Xiao grasped at a straw, hastily wiping away her tears, her voice trembling without her even realizing it: "Ao Shuang, what... what did you say?"
Xiao Chu also realized what had happened, and excitedly rushed over to grab Ao Shuang's arm, shaking it violently: "You gave him that 'elixir of immortality' to drink? Did you?"
Ao Shuang was shaken by Xiao Chu, her gaze swept over the surprised and uncertain faces of the crowd, and finally she nodded slightly, which was taken as an admission.
"Really?!" Xiao Chu's tears welled up again instantly, this time tears of ecstatic joy.
Almost the instant Ao Shuang nodded, as if to confirm his words, the previously silent "corpse" on the ground suddenly twitched very slightly.
Yun Feng, who was closest, immediately squatted down and carefully lifted the outer robe covering Fu Gui'er's face a little more.
A faint trace of color actually appeared on Fugui'er's pale face.
His long eyelashes trembled, and his tightly closed eyes opened a crack with difficulty.
The vision blurred at first, then slowly focused, revealing Xiao Chu and Yuan Xiao's tear-streaked, yet joyful faces, as well as Di Lin's deep and complex gaze in the distance.
Fu Gui'er didn't seem to be fully awake yet; his eyes were somewhat unfocused. He opened his mouth, and a hoarse sound came from his throat, like the sound of a broken bellows.
