Chapter Thirty: The Azure Sky Weeps Alone

  This sudden scene made Su Ming's mind shake, but his actions did not stop, on the contrary, they became even faster. Su Ming's character was like this, either he didn't do something, or once he decided to do it, it would be hard to change him.

  It was as if at the moment he arrived, Bai Ling's empty and hollow eyes had a focal point, she stared blankly at Su Ming, her eyes welling up with tears.

  In an instant, Su Ming arrived, without any hesitation, his right hand grasping the bone horn, fiercely thrusting it into the red tree trunk, directly piercing halfway through. A dark red liquid, like fresh blood, immediately flowed out from the wound on the tree trunk. At this moment, a dull roar, wildly transmitted from within the tree trunk.

  That roar was full of anger, and it seemed as if the entire basin shook with it.

  Su Ming's face was pale, but his eyes were gleaming with a cold light. After the bone spur pierced into the tree trunk, it suddenly split open downwards with a cracking sound. A huge crack appeared on the tree trunk, and a burst of cold air emanated from the opening!

  That crack almost appeared along the side of Bailin's body, and after it opened, Su Ming saw Bailin's body inside with one glance. He didn't hesitate, reached deep into the tree trunk, grabbed Bailin's arm hidden in the tree trunk, and pulled him out with a low growl.

  With this pull, he immediately pulled out the white spirit from inside the tree trunk.

  Bai Ling was completely stunned, she stared blankly at Su Ming, allowing herself to be pulled by him, tears flowing down even more, and in this moment, Su Ming's appearance was deeply etched into her mind.

  Pulling the White Spirit, Su Ming's body immediately jumped back, his heart racing wildly, just about to quickly leave, but at this moment, that shrill voice became even more intense, filling the entire basin. Suddenly, from the cracked tree trunk, a pair of moon wings suddenly appeared, their faces previously filled with sadness and desolation now completely gone, replaced by madness and bloodlust, they charged out fiercely.

  Su Ming's scalp felt numb, and he quickly retreated. The number of Moonwings before his eyes was too many, densely packed, and there were at least several thousand of them. Moreover, inside the tree trunk, there were even more Moonwings present.

  But almost as soon as the moonwings burst out, Su Ming immediately saw clearly that these moonwings were swept away by the scorching heat waves of this place, and they all showed a hint of fear. Some even fell from mid-air, stiff like corpses, into the molten rock below, shattering with a loud crash, without any blood or flesh, only a chill rising into the air.

  "It's said that the Huo Man tribe, who possessed immortality, were transformed into Moon Wings by the Barbarian God. This is true! They weren't originally afraid of fire, but after becoming Moon Wings, they underwent a strange transformation and became afraid of fire..."

  "Look at them dying, their bodies are like ice...". Su Ming's eyes condensed, and as he retreated rapidly, his left hand pulled out a white spirit and threw it towards the exit of the passage not far away.

  "What's wrong with you!! Run!!" Su Ming's low growl made Bai Ling's mind shake, as if waking up from a nightmare. Her body fell beside the exit of the passage. She turned around and looked at Su Ming, hesitating to open her mouth.

  "Run!!" Su Ming's body sprang up, rushing straight towards the exit passage. At this moment, the lava in the lower basin had already submerged most of the stone house, leaving only a few remaining rooftops.

  Bai Ling's face was deathly pale, and at this moment, she didn't hesitate any longer. She turned around and ran quickly along the passageway, her feet aching severely, but it was already being ignored. The only thought in her mind was to escape from here.

  Su Ming sprang up from the rooftops, dashing towards the passage. Behind him, a large number of Moonwings howled, but they didn't dare to attack. However, the muffled roars coming from within the tree trunks made these Moonwings go wild. Over ten of them recklessly charged out and pounced on Su Ming.

  Su Ming's body was surging with Qi and blood, eleven blood lines spreading out, as he swung the bone scimitar in his hand and charged directly at the passage. All of this would take a long time to explain, but it actually happened in an extremely short period of time. The moment Su Ming returned to the passage, more than ten Moonwings fell into the magma and exploded.

  Su Ming's heart was racing, but his mind was calm and collected. Everything was going as he had expected. If he hadn't waited a little longer to make his move when the heat was more intense, things might not have gone so smoothly. Those moonwings would have appeared in greater numbers.

  At this moment, stepping into the corridor, Su Ming's feet scattered the smell of charred flesh and blood, but he didn't stop, instead quickly running forward at a rapid pace.

  Behind him, the entire basin echoed with the howling of Moonwings, but they didn't dare to pursue. However, there were still a few that, after many of their companions had died, charged into the passageway and shrilly rushed towards Suming.

  "The moon wing fears heat... so it doesn't come out from within that tree trunk, and the further this passage goes outward, the scorching feeling fades a lot...” Su Ming ran as the sharp howl behind him grew clearer.

  "We can't delay in killing these Moonwings that are chasing us!" Su Ming's eyes flashed, and he saw a large stone that he had previously cut off in the passage ahead. He immediately ran quickly to the side of the stone, holding the bone corner and turning around fiercely. Behind him, four Moonwings were approaching with a whistling sound, their faces ferocious.

  Su Ming's face was pale, but his eyes were calm and tranquil. Just as the four Moon-winged horses were about to approach, Su Ming kicked one foot on a large stone beside him.

  The huge stone, which he had measured beforehand to be similar in size to the passageway, suddenly flew up with a loud crash as he concentrated all his energy into one kick, instantly blocking the passage like a door.

  Su Ming grasped the timing perfectly, and according to his plan, he used this stone gate to temporarily block three of the Moonwings, leaving one for himself with Bone Thorn, and killed it in this scorching passageway.

  Kanat's speed was really too fast, Su Ming's large stone only blocked two of them, and there were still two more whizzing in.

  Su Ming furrowed his brow and immediately turned around to sprint away. Even if he could kill the two Moonwings, he would still get injured. He had a better method for now.

  In the blink of an eye, the two moonwings behind him sped up even faster, and when they were about to be less than ten zhang away, another boulder of similar size appeared in front of Su Ming.

  As he passed by the stone, Su Ming drew on his previous experience and kicked it with one foot. With a loud crash, the stone flew up and blocked the passageway, causing only one of the Moonwings to fly out, while the other was temporarily blocked behind the boulder.

  Just as one moon wing was blocked, another swooped out and rushed towards Su Ming. At that moment, Su Ming's eyes were filled with a cold light, and he held the Bone Antler, advancing instead of retreating, charging towards the moon wing.

  One man, one beast, and the killing unfolded immediately in this passage. If it were not for Su Ming, who had no cultivation, he would have been unable to resist, but now that he possessed eleven bloodlines, with a sharp bone edge in his hand, he completely dominated the fight against Yue Yi.

  With a loud crash, Su Ming's bone spur pierced into the body of that Moon Winged creature, splitting its body open. However, he saw that the wound was rapidly healing, and although the Moon Winged creature looked pale, it didn't show any signs of dying.

  Su Ming's eyes flashed, and he once again ripped open several wounds on the Moon Wing, making it impossible for it to heal in a short period of time. He then turned around and quickly left. As he sped along, whenever he encountered one of the large stones he had previously set up, he would kick it out of the way, turning them into obstacles within the passageway.

  Although there were these pauses, Su Ming's advantage was his speed. His swiftness was so fast that he often flashed by in the passage and quickly arrived at the cave with many small entrances.

  "I... I'm here!" In an instant, Su Ming heard Bai Ling's faint voice.

  He saw the pale-faced, frightened and fearful White Spirit hiding in a small opening, her body trembling. White Spirit had arrived here long ago, but she didn't know which one was the exit, and she dared not to move randomly, fearing that she would encounter Moon Wing again.

  At this moment, the white spirit was no longer the proud and clever one that Su Ming had seen in the Bu Fang courtyard. Now she seemed like a small beast that had been frightened, her eyes filled with confusion, which made Su Ming burst out laughing when he saw it.

  "You... you're still smiling!" Bai Ling was very tense, just about to speak, but saw Su Ming flash over, grab his arm and run towards one of the many small holes not far away.

  "Is this the exit?" Bai Ling's voice was soft as she spoke up after seeing Su Ming, and for some reason, her fear seemed to have lessened a lot.

  Su Ming nodded, not speaking, and instead pulled Bai Ling's hand, running quickly through the passage. He could hear Bai Ling's panting in his ear, a pleasant sound that made Su Ming's accelerated heartbeat uncertain whether it was due to the run or the softness of the hand he held.

  All the way in silence, Bai Ling didn't speak again, but allowed Su Ming to hold her hand and run forward in this passageway filled with danger. Her heartbeat accelerated, and a thought similar to Su Ming's emerged, which diluted her fear and previous despair.

  It was just that this silent time couldn't last long, and soon Su Ming brought Bai Ling to the entrance of his own cave. Here, Su Ming loosened his grip, his expression solemn as he scratched at a spot on the ground with a bone corner, occasionally furrowing his brow as if calculating something.

  Not far away from the barren furnace, flames also appeared at this moment, burning slowly.

  Bai Ling stared blankly at Su Ming's actions, her mind in turmoil.

  She still has a kind of illusion like a dream, she was caught by Yueyi and had already lost hope, but the scenes that happened one after another made her feel as if the dream had not yet fully awakened.

  At this moment, the sharp whistling sound started again, coming from the depths of the cave, and it became more intense, as if rapidly approaching. White Ling's body trembled, and she unconsciously drew closer to Su Ming, but after taking a few steps, she was suddenly pulled back by Su Ming, who quickly walked over the small holes on the ground and then turned his head to look towards the depths of the cave.

  Time was short, the shrill whistle suddenly grew louder, and three moon-winged creatures rushed towards the two. Bai Ling's body trembled, just about to retreat, but saw Su Ming's eyes flash, holding the bone horn directly from the burning flames below the wild cauldron, a gap was torn open along the ground, connecting with another ditch.

  Suddenly a wave of flames burst forth, almost forming a sea of fire, covering the three Moonwings that were charging forward. The sound of their mournful cries echoed through the air as they fell to the ground with a loud crash, releasing a cold aura that merged with the flames. Under the flickering light of the fire, Su Ming's expression was somewhat gloomy, while Bai Ling behind him had an even more intense look of fear in her eyes.

  "They... they're afraid of fire?" After a long time, Bai Ling spoke softly.

  "They worshipped fire in life, and fire was their glory. But after transforming into Moonwings, they lost not only their divine wisdom and physical bodies but also this glory..."

  "They didn't fear fire, but were ashamed of it... Born from fire, died from fire..." Su Ming murmured, and involuntarily thought of the skeleton he saw in that Fire Nation tribe, along with those words.

  "Alas, Heaven is vast, yet you cry alone..."
