Chapter 459 Tang Wutong: Why Aunt Zhuqing and not her; Ning Rongrong, who's made a fortune
"Hahaha—innocent? Chen Xinjie, isn't it a bit ridiculous for you to say that!"
Yun Ming burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, but his laughter was filled with chilling killing intent.
"I made myself very clear inside. Now that you have destroyed the Golden Ancient Tree, the foundation of the academy, I have no intention of explaining right or wrong to you."
Yun Ming's eyes were already bloodshot, even though the four-word battle armor he was wearing was still radiating an exceptionally luxurious golden light.
But at this moment, he exuded a chilling, demonic aura, as if he were on the verge of going mad.
Yun Ming raised his arm, the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear in his hand pointing at Chen Xinjie in front of him.
The gun emitted an unprecedentedly intense brilliance, and boundless divine intent burst forth from its tip.
Golden rays of light intertwined and weaved through the air like silk threads, forming a sealed net of guns. Time and space seemed to freeze for a moment because of this power.
"Chen Xinjie, if you don't want to die, get out of my way. Don't forget, we're high in the sky now, this isn't your territory."
Without the power of the ocean, you are no match for me.
Feeling the immense suppression brought by the anti-air effect of the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear, Chen Xinjie found it difficult to maintain his footing in the void, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After all, Yun Ming was right. The battle was now taking place in the high inland sky, and the Boundless Ocean Artifact that he originally possessed had already been completely destroyed by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.
Without the advantage of favorable timing and location, it is clearly unrealistic to expect to fight against Yun Ming, who already dominated an era and has now surpassed the level of a god, all by himself.
But Chen Xinjie took a deep breath, straightened his back, and solemnly replied, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
"I am both the Vice Speaker of the Federation and the Lord of the Federation's Temple of War. Protecting the safety of the people of Mingdu is my duty. You want to destroy the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? You'll have to step over my dead body first."
Although he spoke with great confidence, and Chen Xinjie, who had lived for more than two hundred years and had long been accustomed to great storms and had even died once before, still felt a sense of panic in his heart when faced with Yun Ming, who was almost insane at this moment.
But he also knew in his heart that as long as he could withstand Yun Ming's attack and hold out until Huo Yuhao arrived, the situation would be reversed, and then he could use swift and decisive measures to completely destroy Shrek Academy.
"Ha, you can't reason with a damned devil. Since you're determined to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
A blinding golden light instantly enveloped Yun Ming's entire body, like a sun fallen to earth, followed by a loud shout that resounded across the sky above Mingdu.
"Support the heavens, shoot down the sun!"
In an instant, the entire sky was completely enveloped by blazing, violent golden light.
The void wailed, the earth trembled, as if everything was about to be completely melted away in this world-destroying golden light.
Illuminated by the intense, blinding light from the clash between the two in mid-air, Tang Wutong squinted and said urgently, "Aunt Zhuqing, we'd better hurry up and stop them! Otherwise, if their attacks collide completely, Mingdu below will be destroyed, with countless deaths and injuries, and then it will be impossible to control!"
Tang Wutong truly did not expect that Yun Ming would act so recklessly, disregarding even the lives of ordinary people, and determined to destroy the Ming capital city where tens of millions of people lived.
Even if there was a reason for it, including the shock of the Golden Tree's disappearance, Tang Wutong could still understand from the conversation of the group of people next to her that she was the one in charge of the whole thing, and it had nothing to do with the Douluo Federation.
"Wu Tong, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Haven't I already told you?"
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm and instead gently reassured them, "Rongrong and the others have already prepared countermeasures in secret."
As Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, a layer of pink light emanated from all directions of Mingdu, separating the battlefield in mid-air from the city below.
The large spatial rifts that were originally caused by energy collisions, as well as the energy storms that were capable of destroying everything, miraculously subsided under the soothing embrace of this pink halo.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to say something more, a soft, silvery-white halo suddenly emanated from her body.
The next moment, a spatial rift was silently opened, and Huo Yuhao calmly stepped out from it.
Seeing the dazzling golden light bursting and raging in the sky, and Chen Xinjie struggling to hold on against Yun Ming's attacks, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Without much hesitation, he turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, I need your help."
Zhu Zhuqing knew the situation was urgent and didn't waste any words.
Under Tang Wutong's shocked and complicated gaze, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward naturally and opened her arms to hug Huo Yuhao tightly.
Those bright, sparkling eyes were no longer as cold as before; they were now filled with tenderness, as if they wanted to completely envelop Huo Yuhao.
A black and white aura emanated from the two of them in an instant. Huo Yuhao's original blue-gold eyes quickly transformed into a deep black and white under the influence of this power, intertwined like the chaos before the creation of the world.
He held it loosely in his hand, and the golden dragon spear that materialized and appeared was rendered in black and white.
Within the gun, the auras of destruction and life constantly flowed and clashed, yet miraculously achieved a balance, as if containing the mysteries of the beginning of chaos, with a vast and ancient aura emanating from within.
The aura was so domineering that even Tang Wutong, who was closest to it, couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously took two steps back.
Even though she had witnessed Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing fusing their martial souls in the fragments of memories she had obtained, and then subduing Cupid in one fell swoop.
But now that she has actually witnessed this scene unfold, Tang Wutong's bittersweet feelings are even more difficult to describe in words.
She could have fused her martial soul with Huo Yuhao to help him resolve the current crisis.
But now, when Huo Yuhao encounters trouble, his first choice is still Zhu Zhuqing, not her?
Under Tang Wutong's almost heartbroken gaze, Huo Yuhao's blood and qi surged instantly, like an ancient ferocious beast awakening.
The black and white lights on the Golden Dragon Spear shone brightly, and then Huo Yuhao swung his arm without hesitation, forcefully hurling it at the dazzling golden figure in the sky.
A chaotic radiance streaked across the void, a black and white line moving at an incredible speed.
Yun Ming, who was doing his best to suppress Chen Xinjie, hadn't even realized what was happening when a sharp pain shot through his chest.
He looked down in disbelief at the black and white dragon spear that pierced his chest.
The golden light emanating from the four-character battle armor on his body was forcibly tainted by the black and white halo the moment it touched the spear, losing its original luster.
It was as if all the power that was once so proud had returned to the chaotic void in this interweaving of black and white.
Chen Xinjie, who was below, felt his eyes light up when he felt the anti-air effect of the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear that had been pressing down on his head completely disappear, and his body instantly flashed with a strong blue-gold light.
The vast ocean beneath their feet took the opportunity to expand wildly, with the surging sea seemingly solidifying in the sky, surging endlessly.
The seawater, carrying a powerful squeezing force, swept towards the injured Yun Ming from all directions, as if to crush him completely.
"Hehe————"
Yun Ming's full head of black hair danced wildly in the seawater that had solidified in the vast ocean.
He gripped the black and white dragon spear piercing his chest with both hands, using all his strength to try to pull it out.
However, under the terrifying pressure of the deep sea around him, the circulation of his soul power became extremely sluggish, like a person about to drown, his face flushed red, and his former composure was nowhere to be seen.
"Chen Xinjie, you bastard, how long are you going to keep harming the academy? Yun Ming, don't panic, your teacher's wife is coming to save you!"
Long Yeyue, who had been hiding in the shadows, watching Yun Ming display his power with excitement and about to retaliate against the Douluo Federation with equal force, was blinded by shock and anger upon seeing this sudden turn of events and shouted out loud.
The ancient golden tree within the academy had already mysteriously disappeared because of Tang Wutong, which had shaken the very foundation of Shrek Academy.
If Yun Ming, the pillar of stability, were to suffer another mishap now, the academy would have no chance of withstanding the Douluo Federation's subsequent retaliation, and the academy's millennia-old heritage would be completely severed.
Thinking of this, Long Yeyue swayed and her body instantly expanded, transforming into a giant golden-black dragon exuding a terrifying aura.
She suddenly lifted herself up from the ground and flew at high speed toward Yun Ming's location.
As long as she can reach that place, she can save Yunming. As long as Yunming is alive, the academy still has hope of survival and continuation.
But in the next instant, the golden-black dragon seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of air. The powerful recoil caused a series of ripples to spread through the void, forcing her to stop abruptly.
Ning Rongrong's laughter, tinged with anger and mockery, rang out in mid-air.
"Oh, this is quite a spectacle. Right under my nose, you dare to openly commit such acts of destruction and annihilation. Who gave you the courage?"
Long Yeyue steadied herself in mid-air and looked up at the pink figure that had leisurely emerged from the void. She recognized the figure instantly, especially by the distinctive mask on the other person's face.
Without a doubt, the visitor was Cupid.
When Long Yeyue thought of what her ancestor Ah Yin had said—that the true God of Love had actually perished tens of thousands of years ago, and that the body this God of Love was using was obtained by possessing Ning Rongrong—her originally high spirits vanished instantly.
Without any hesitation, and before Ning Rongrong could take another step, the golden-black dragon she had transformed into suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly dazzling light.
Yun Ming, who was struggling, was still moved and thought that Long Yeyue was burning her life essence to fight to the death and save him from the clutches of Cupid.
To his utter astonishment, the golden-black dragon, radiating intense light, abruptly changed direction in mid-air and fled eastward without a second thought.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.
The speed and decisiveness of his escape left the remaining crowd speechless, none of them expecting that the dignified Light and Dark Douluo would make such a move as fleeing without a fight.
Yun Ming's eyes widened, as if he could not accept this reality at all, and a surge of frustration rushed to his head.
Overwhelmed by anger, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of murky black blood, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.
Ning Rongrong, hovering in mid-air, was getting anxious. She hadn't expected Long Yeyue to escape so easily. She quickly transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao, who had just dispelled his martial soul fusion state, and asked, "Master, should I send Cao Dezhi to pursue and capture the escaped Long Yeyue right now?"
Ning Rongrong really felt that she had miscalculated.
They didn't even have the slightest thought of fighting to the death for Shrek Academy. As soon as they saw me reveal myself, they turned around and ran away.
This was clearly a task given to her by Huo Yuhao, instructing her to protect Mingdu and handle the chaos there.
As a result, Yun Ming, the main threat, was not only suppressed by his own master with a single shot, but if he were to let Long Yeyue escape next...
Doesn't that mean she was incompetent and completely betrayed Huo Yuhao's trust?
If she can't even handle this small matter, how can she shamelessly try to gain favor with Huo Yuhao later?
"Don't pursue a defeated enemy. She may run away, but the academy is still there. Let the Douluo Federation handle the rest of the academy's affairs."
Huo Yuhao calmly gazed in the direction Long Yeyue had fled and slowly replied, "As for the follow-up matters, just proceed according to the plan you told me before."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the instructions, Ning Rongrong obediently agreed.
The pink halos that were originally responsible for maintaining spatial stability throughout Mingdu shone brightly once more. As the light flashed, all the people of Mingdu could clearly hear Ning Rongrong's ethereal yet majestic voice.
"I am the God of Love. Today, entrusted by the Federal Government, I have descended to this place to protect Mingdu. Now, the culprit Yunming, who intended to destroy Mingdu, has been suppressed, so there is no need for everyone to panic."
Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to commit wrongdoing or attempt to undermine federal rules will be severely punished under federal law.
The entire capital seemed to fall into a brief pause after Ning Rongrong's righteous and awe-inspiring voice proclaimed this.
Then, the entire city erupted in unprecedented, deafening cheers.
"Long live Cupid! Long live Cupid!"
Ning Rongrong, whose true form was still in the Valley of Love and Destiny, felt the pure faith power that suddenly gathered from all parts of Mingdu. She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and her eyes were full of smugness.
