Chapter 37: The Eve of the Great War (Part 2)
Her heart was slightly moved, a strange feeling spread silently throughout her body, giving her an unprecedented feeling. Looking at Lu Yun, Ao Xue smiled lightly, and his stunning beauty appeared before his eyes in an instant. At this moment, she suddenly understood that it was the love between humans, which was truly wonderful, making people reluctant to part with it, unable to forget. Her lips slightly parted, Ao Xue's calm voice revealed a hint of sweetness.
"In the vastness of the world, between you and me!" The soft words were spoken with a firm tone that made Lu Yun's whole body tremble. Lu Yun's eyes suddenly shone brightly as he looked at Ao Xue with sincerity, softly speaking out his promise. "Through a hundred lifetimes, through a thousand transformations, even if the oceans turn to mulberry fields, my heart will not change!"
A faint soft light flashed in Ao Xue's eyes, and a smile reappeared. Looking at Lu Yun, Ao Xue said softly, "Let's go, it's already dark." After finishing speaking, her figure fluttered out with unparalleled elegance.
Under the moonlight, Lu Yun and Ao Xue stood at the top of Tai Xuan Mountain, quietly gazing up at the bright moon in the sky. The night breeze gently blew by, rustling Ao Xue's white dress, which fluttered and danced in the wind, looking extremely beautiful. Lu Yun couldn't help but softly chant as he looked at Ao Xue's captivating face: "A beauty dances under the hazy moon, silver light like water, hair like the wind. I ask the vast moon why it smiles, double shadows overlap in the moonlight." As soon as he finished speaking, didn't their shadows on the ground coincidentally overlap?
She gazed at him with a smile, her gentle feelings drifting in the night wind. Lu Yun looked at Ao Xue, his eyes revealing a hint of fervor, and he slowly extended his right hand. Ao Xue looked at him, her face slightly hesitant for a moment, a faint blush visible in the dim light. She gently lifted her slender left hand, placing it in his. There was no sound, no words, only the deep, emotional gaze between them.
All of this, under the bright moonlight tonight, heaven and earth as witnesses, the night moon as a witness, the hearts of two people touched for the first time. When the hands of the two touched that instant, both of them slightly trembled, looking at each other in the eye. Lu Yun's eyes were filled with countless surprises, while Ao Xue's eyes floated with a few strands of shyness. Holding tightly onto that small jade-like hand, Lu Yun felt unspeakable emotions in his heart. Looking at Ao Xue who was usually cold and proud, this moment was so delicate and gentle, Lu Yun really didn't know what to feel. Maybe it was more surprise than happiness.
Holding Ao Xue's small hand, Lu Yun walked slowly with her in the mountains, softly telling each other about their affection. Ao Xue lowered her head, looking at the two hands tightly clasped together, and from Lu Yun's tight grip, it was clear that he cherished and longed for her. Ao Xue's body trembled slightly, and a strange, indescribable feeling slowly rose in her heart, perhaps that was the feeling of being fond of each other.
Lu Yun gazed at the proud snow beside him, under the moonlight, she was like a fairy from the Moon Palace, holy and beautiful, cool as jade. Lu Yun couldn't help but grasp that soft small hand, feeling the refreshing softness, smooth as jade's wonderful touch. He raised his head, looking at the bright moon in the sky, only to see a new crescent moon hanging on the branch like a hook. The silver light filtered through the branches, silently shining into the dark depths of the forest.
"The beauty is like jade, the new moon is like a hook, the heaven and earth are boundless, I am free to roam." As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly flashed with light, and a powerful aura instantly filled the entire forest. Seeing Ao Xue's slightly surprised expression, Lu Yun gently withdrew his right hand and casually wrapped Ao Xue's captivating body in his arms.
Her face flushed, she gently placed her right hand on her chest, lightly pressing it against Lu Yun's heart. She looked at him with a shy glance, and Ao Xue slightly shook her head, saying nothing. Lu Yun took a deep breath and softly said: "Ao Xue is so beautiful, so fragrant, so alluring, do you know? Every person who sees you can't help but be deeply attracted to your calm and cool demeanor. And among them, there's one person, it's me." After finishing speaking, his scorching gaze quietly stared at her.
Looking at Lu Yun, Ao Xue said softly after a long time: "You're very special, your body contains two completely different personalities. Usually you are gentle and elegant, but sometimes you are overbearing, with an air of dominance that is hard to ignore. Just like this afternoon's match against Bi Tian, it's impossible to see through you. Your body always hides a layer of mystery, wrapping yourself in it at all times. However, whether it's your gentleness or your overbearingness, both have a fatal attraction to women, deeply attracting me." After finishing speaking, her right hand gently pressed on his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.
Lu Yun looked at those clear and beautiful eyes, his gaze filled with unspoken gentleness. At this moment, too many words made Lu Yun unsure of what to say. Perhaps, at this moment, nothing needed to be said between them.
In the night wind, two figures leaned quietly against each other, silently feeling the deep emotions they shared. The sky, with its bright moon, seemed to be hiding in the clouds at this moment, unwilling to disturb the loving couple. As they leaned gently against each other, they became familiar with each other's breath and heartbeat, and their two hearts slowly connected. Suddenly, Lu Yun's body shook violently, under Ao Xue's astonished gaze, Lu Yun's entire being burst out a powerful and unparalleled aura, a crimson light instantly illuminating the whole forest.
She looked at him, and from his expression, she felt that something was wrong, but why didn't she feel anything? Lu Yun tightly pulled her to his back, his eyes coldly staring into the distance. Gently releasing Ao Xue, Lu Yun softly said: "Be careful, there's a strange evil entity invading Tai Xuan Mountain. The method is very unusual, and it's usually impossible for people to detect." After finishing speaking, his body rose into mid-air, with alternating flashes of blue and red light all over his body.
In mid-air, outside Lu Yun's body, a layer of dark blue light and a layer of bright red light were alternating rapidly. Ao Xue stood behind him, unaware that at this moment, Lu Yun's eyes were flashing with two different lights, one red and one black, looking very mysterious and eerie. Lu Yun was extremely surprised, he couldn't understand how his spiritual sense had suddenly detected a strange aura. And just as he discovered the mysterious aura, he was discovered by the other party and attacked spiritually.
Lu Yun gazed into the distance, under the cover of night, that black light halo, due to the great distance, couldn't see anything. However, his mental waves could clearly display everything there in his mind's eye. It was a very mysterious and high-speed rotating black light sphere, its surroundings were filled with different frequency true energy waves, numbering over a thousand, causing all nearby mental waves that tried to probe it for information to be refracted away.
Just as Lu Yun was investigating the mysterious black light, seven high-frequency spiritual powers attacked him in a wave-like manner. The speed and frequency were so fast that it was the first time Lu Yun had encountered such an attack. Since they were too far apart, ordinary attacks were completely useless, only defense was possible. However, Lu Yun possessed the supreme technique "Tian Di Wu Ji" (Heaven and Earth Without Bounds), which allowed him to cultivate incredible mental waves. For this kind of attack, it was exactly his forte. After setting up layers of defenses around himself, Lu Yun's mind instantly emitted sixteen mental waves with frequencies ranging from 18,000 to 96,000 times per second, fiercely counterattacking. The mental waves were invisible and intangible, so they could penetrate through space-time, making distance irrelevant.
Two powerful and mysterious forces clashed at a distance, each filled with immense destructive power. Suddenly, Lu Yun's body glowed brightly, rapidly fluctuating as a tyrannical force erupted around him, instantly exploding and destroying all the trees within tens of meters. Zhang Aosnow was forced to draw his divine sword, defending against the invisible attack with all his might.
Lu Yun's eyes shone brightly, his true yuan surging rapidly throughout his body. His mental waves shot out at a speed of 183,600 times per second, releasing nine blasts in one go, striking the black light sphere and causing a brilliant flash of lightning to illuminate half the sky. Lu Yun let out a cold laugh as he clearly sensed that the black light sphere had been struck by his sudden attack, revealing a gap in its outer black glow and exposing a strange green object inside.
That was a green light ball of about ten feet in diameter, and it was impossible to see the situation inside clearly. However, Lu Yun sensed that there was an astonishingly powerful demonic aura inside. In an instant, Lu Yun reacted and realized that the other party had launched an attack on him using the "Heart's Desire Without A Trace" technique of the Demonic Sect. No wonder the other party could easily traverse space from such a distance and launch a surprise attack on him. After two exchanges, Lu Yun clearly understood that if there was a demon inside, it must be at least a Demon God-level entity; otherwise, its spiritual frequency would not have reached 79,000 times per second.
At the same time as Lu Yun's analysis, another powerful demonic aura appeared in his mind. At the same time, a loud explosion sound suddenly came from the direction of the Tianjian Institute's Tianxuan Cave. Immediately after, a five-colored light burst into the sky, and from a distance, it looked like five divine dragons flying and roaring in mid-air, searching for something. In the blink of an eye after the five-colored light rose into the air, several figures flashing with different lights suddenly appeared in the air, shooting towards the two demonic creatures instantly.
Lu Yun's entire body retracted its radiance, standing quietly in mid-air, just like a ghost in the night wind, hiding in the darkness. Below, Ao Xue also withdrew her divine sword and rose into the air, standing alongside him, gazing silently at the distance.
Faintly, Ao Xue asked: "Why do you want to withdraw the protective true energy from your entire body? Is it that you don't want them to discover we're here, or is there another reason?" After speaking, she calmly looked at him, her eyes containing a hint of doubt.
Lü Yun glanced at Ao Xue and said softly, "This is Tai Xuan Mountain, many things don't require us to take action. Moreover, before I truly engage with Jian Wu Chen, I don't want to reveal too much. More importantly, I don't want them to know that there are too many things on my body. Now, this place is filled with masters, we don't even need to take action, let's leave here and continue our midnight stroll." After finishing speaking, he suddenly smiled, and his handsome face made Ao Xue feel a sense of shock.
Lu Yun grasped the small hand as smooth as jade, his palm tightly attached to her chest, his eyes smiling as he gazed at her, a captivating aura bursting out with infinite charm. Before Ao Xue could speak, Lu Yun laughed and said: "Clear wind and bright moon accompany each other, beautiful people hold hands, traveling to the ends of the earth, two hearts forever unchanged." After finishing, he let out a hearty laugh, his voice filled with boundless joy and pride, drifting away with the wind.
Under the night, two faint human shadows disappeared into the quiet mountain forest. In the gentle breeze, a few shallow smiles and soft whispers danced with the wind. On Mount Tai Xuan, several flashes of sword light and tender feelings of young lovers were entrusted to the wind. The night color passed by in silence, everything ended in time. When the east turned slightly red, everything returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.
