Chapter 733: Revenge!

Chen Ye was dead!

Chu Che could sense through his perception ability that Chen Ye's aura had vanished.

But for the people on the scene, the impact was beyond imagination.

When Sun Xixi opened her eyes, all she saw was a sky full of drifting flower petals, illuminated by a sliver of daylight.

Breathtakingly beautiful!

That man lay there so peacefully, quietly.

The sea breeze whispered by, carrying the petals aloft as they slowly drifted toward the distance.

That man lay there, flowers blooming all over his body!

The sea breeze made the blossoms on his body sway gently!

The flowers were vivid, beautiful, and blinding!

They pierced straight through Sun Xixi's eyes, making them ache with unbearable pain.

She refused to close her eyes, refused to look away.

Because if she didn't take one more look now...

Perhaps the next second, that man would turn into flower fertilizer, and she would never see him again.

It felt like something precious was slipping away.

Sun Xixi wanted to reach out and grab something, but when she stretched out her hand, all she felt was empty palm, nothing at all.

This feeling of her heart being ripped out alive made Sun Xixi want to wail at the top of her lungs.

The girl's pink hair was tousled by the sea breeze, messing up her bangs and blurring her vision of that man.

You... you were supposed to survive until the very end!

Everyone thought you would be the last one standing!

Why were you the first to leave?

This isn't how things should have gone.

It shouldn't be like this!

Toward this man, the girl had always harbored complicated feelings.

She didn't know what her relationship with this man was, or what it should be!

She didn't know how the two of them should interact!

After that day, the two of them were mostly no different from ordinary teammates.

Even that gossip addict Squad Leader Chu Che had eavesdropped on them several times, but never caught anything romantic between the two.

But only the two of them knew that the other was special.

The girl, unsure of how to develop this relationship, ended up handling it in a muddled daze.

Like a love letter hastily buried without proper care.

Without even knowing what was written inside.

Sometimes the girl would think, this wasn't so bad after all.

At least if she died, Chen Ye probably wouldn't be too heartbroken.

And if Chen Ye died, she probably wouldn't be too heartbroken either.

After all, the two of them didn't really have anything between them.

But unexpectedly, Chen Ye had fallen right before her eyes.

Before, the girl thought that if Chen Ye died, she wouldn't be too sad. But now...

The girl no longer understood. It seemed she wasn't as strong as she had imagined.

She didn't even know whether she should feel jealous when she saw Xu Lina getting a bit too close with this bastard of a man.

A girl who didn't even know whether she should be jealous.

Yet at this moment, she knew one thing clearly!

And that was... she wanted revenge!

At the very least, she had to avenge him!

This was the only thing she could do.

The only thing she must do.

"Sigh... humans, how interesting!"

A tall, gaunt figure stood in the morning light. Those crimson flowers that replaced its eyes were bathed in the golden sunlight, appearing even more vivid and striking, yet also more bizarre!

This figure was actually somewhat taller than the average human, around two meters and ten or twelve centimeters tall, and very thin.

It looked like someone suffering from long-term malnutrition.

The flowers on its back trembled slightly, seemingly still adorned with morning dew, appearing especially delicate and beautiful under the golden morning light.

The tall, gaunt figure kept examining the spot where Sun Xixi stood and where Chen Ye had fallen.

The crimson flowers flickered faintly.

"I can never understand human emotions!"

"I can sense your profound grief, so very, very deep!"

"But, from Xu Wan - yes, that's what you call her!"

"From the information Xu Wan relayed to me, you two shouldn't have had much of a relationship at all!"

"Why are you so grief-stricken?"

The tall, gaunt figure continued scrutinizing Sun Xixi, as if her emotional turmoil had caught its attention.

As if it had discovered another novel toy.

Sun Xixi paid no attention to Number Two's words.

She simply stared blankly at the spot where Chen Ye had fallen.

"I killed him. He's already dead, but you're still alive! Why... why are you so sad?"

"You're still alive, so why are you so sorrowful?"

"Why do you humans grieve for others?"

The tall, gaunt figure crouched down, the crimson flowers in its eye sockets still flickering, showing immense interest.

"No wait, you're not just sad. There seems to be another emotion mixed in... anger!"

"And, the power within you seems to be growing stronger alongside that anger!"

"Could it be that the source of human power lies in their emotions?"

"How fascinating!"

Number Two observed Sun Xixi curiously, seemingly growing more and more interested in her current state.

"No wait, you seem to be grieving too!?"

"Why?"

Number Two suddenly turned its head to look at Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou had also opened her eyes by now.

Seeing Chen Ye fall, she had always thought that if he truly died, she should be happy about it.

But why did she feel uncomfortable inside too, even somewhat pained?

Jiang Rou didn't understand her own feelings either.

Perhaps it was the sorrow of the fox mourning the hare's death.

After all, Chen Ye was someone she knew, and there was that absurd label of "rumored ex-boyfriend" attached to him.

Jiang Rou absolutely refused to believe she had long fallen for this bastard.

There was even some bad blood between the two of them.

But why did she feel a trace of sorrow?

Perhaps because humanity had once again lost to the Anomalies, and that was worth grieving over.

Sun Xixi ignored Number Two. From beginning to end, she never cast it a single glance, her eyes fixed on that face gradually being swallowed by the pile of flowers.

Her pink, blood-stained lips moved slightly.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Iron, hear my command!"

The moment these words left her mouth, Sun Xixi's entire demeanor underwent a sudden transformation.

Previously, a few flowers had been growing on her body.

But now, those flowers were shredded to pieces by the fierce sword aura!

The Fire Dragon Sword vibrated wildly, sword aura surging unrestrainedly.

Number Two shifted its attention from Jiang Rou to Sun Xixi, its crimson flowers trembling with visible shock.

"Within your body, a power I cannot comprehend has erupted!"

"You... why are you doing this?"

Jiang Rou also stared at Sun Xixi in astonishment.

She could guess that Sun Xixi, like herself, had recovered some of her Supernatural Power, but it absolutely shouldn't be enough to support something like this.

Could it be... Jiang Rou thought of a terrifying possibility.

Sun Xixi paid no attention, continuing to chant the incantation: "Ten directions of sharpness, converge upon this court!"

At that very moment, the Fire Dragon Sword made a loop and shot straight into the sky.

In the golden morning light.

The Fire Dragon Sword split from one into two, from two into four, from four into countless!

In an instant, it seemed as if clouds formed entirely of swords had appeared in the sky.

This sword cloud was enormous, covering an area of a full kilometer in radius, and it was still expanding wildly.

Not only that, this was merely the beginning.

Centered around Sun Xixi, the sword cloud locked onto all life force in the vicinity.

The sea surface below became frantic at this moment. Earlier there had only been gentle waves and a mild sea breeze, but now...

As if provoked by the appearance of this sword cloud, the waves grew restless too.

As if this sword cloud did not belong to the power of this world.

Jiang Rou was already dumbfounded.

"Impossible! Sun Xixi, you... you... this absolutely cannot be!"

"This is not the power of Sequence 4!"

"You... you... you can't be Sequence 5! Impossible!"

Number Two looked up at the sword cloud in the sky and, for a moment, its expression turned slightly serious.

As if, at this very moment, it had finally encountered a worthy opponent.

"Humans... truly inconceivable!"

Sun Xixi ignored both of them. At this moment, she could finally no longer see that face.

The flowers had completely submerged the last trace of it.

Flames of fury blazed in Sun Xixi's eyes!

"A thousand blades suspend in heaven as stars, ten thousand edges converge into banners of cloud."

"Sword Domain!"

"OPEN!~~~"

That final word "open" rang out like thunder.

The moment it left her mouth, countless swords descended from the sky, circling around Sun Xixi.

As if guarding her.

Sun Xixi's dress fluttered as she rose directly into the sky.

That's right, at this moment she wasn't riding a sword. She simply flew up into the air.

Sun Xixi's arrival seemed to set the boundless sword cloud ablaze with excitement.

Countless swords swirled around her.

At this moment, Sun Xixi was a true Sword Immortal in every sense of the word.

And this world did not permit the existence of immortals.

More dark clouds gathered rapidly, blotting out the slivers of golden morning light.

Thunder crackled within the dark clouds.

It seemed Sun Xixi's actions had provoked the laws of heaven and earth.

Sun Xixi, however, paid the dark clouds no mind, her eyes fixed solely on Number Two.

"You... you've lost your mind!"

"You're forcibly elevating your Sequence! Doing this will kill you! You'll die!"

Jiang Rou shouted desperately at Sun Xixi in the sky.

Sun Xixi still ignored her, her gaze locked on Number Two.

The people still catching their breath were completely stunned speechless.

Wei Butong, hiding inside the Fat Pufferfish, had long since lost the ability to speak.

Before coming here, he had imagined showing off his brilliance before the masses.

Now... compared to this woman, he was nothing but an insignificant side character in a novel.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Alright, you foolish woman. It's my turn to take the stage now!"
