Looking at the back of the person in front of her, Jingwei was filled with excitement, as if she had found her home and was like a fledgling returning to its nest.

Unlike her, Qian Renxue had a complicated expression as she looked at the figure in front of her. The figure was not tall, but it still gave her a sense of security.

Just like in the Taixu Realm, simply standing behind her, one could feel an immense sense of security, allowing one to lower one's guard.

While she felt safe, she also felt endless frustration.

She had been chasing after the other person, but just when she thought she had reached the end, she discovered that the other person was no longer in her world. This sense of defeat deeply hurt her heart.

1342 and Mei both turned their gazes toward the suddenly appearing figure.

For Mei, this was not an unexpected feeling. The opponent was very strong, at least she, a non-combatant, could not compare. In her perception, if she was not mistaken, the opponent had not even reached the God Soldier Realm.

Having such strength before even reaching the God Soldier Realm, he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.

The God Tomb only worships the strong. Only those recognized as strong by the God Tomb are qualified to join, whether they have a special talent in a certain area or strong combat power. As long as they are strong enough, the God Tomb will try its best to recruit them.

The reason Mei told Jingwei all this was not only to try to bring her to her side, but also because there were some secrets that were not easily revealed. Even the God Tomb did not know why she had come this time.

The Eagle Claws members were also confused about this, but they were just machines and wouldn't ask any questions, so they naturally wouldn't concern themselves with Mei's affairs. However, since she was here, she would also have a part in the mission.

This is also a characteristic of the God Tomb: regardless of whether a mission has been assigned, anyone who wants to participate can participate; they only care about the results.

Whether it's ambushing Fu Hua or relentlessly pursuing Jingwei, these are all just targets for them. They either lure them into the God Tomb or kill them on the spot. The higher-ups of the God Tomb only care about the results.

"Well done," the visitor praised softly.

Holding Golden Sword with its tip hanging down, there wasn't a trace of blood on it. Perhaps because he rushed here anxiously, his long, gray hair looked slightly disheveled, and his clothes were wrinkled at the elbows.

Jingwei was overjoyed. In an instant, she removed her crimson armor, revealing a face identical to the newcomer's, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Crimson Kite, I only believe you can get out."

Fu Hua nodded to Jingwei, then glanced at Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue instantly composed herself, her face showing a calm and indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.

Fu Hua's gaze lingered on her for only a moment before turning back to the front. The remaining thirteen members of Eagle Claws, led by 1342, formed an encirclement once more, attempting to surround Fu Hua and Jingwei again.

Mei stood gracefully to the side, her expression unchanging, her arms crossed, which only served to accentuate her breasts.

Jingwei rolled her eyes inelegantly behind Fu Hua, but luckily Fu Hua blocked her way, otherwise she might have gotten into another fight with Mei.

The three factions, now relegated to mere spectators, were somewhat curious about this suddenly appearing person who resembled Jingwei, and couldn't help but cast their gazes towards him.

Her sharply defined, beautiful and refined face instantly attracted them. She stood out from humans, was more exquisite than angels, and more... well, there's no comparison. Apart from Morgana, the others are truly incomparable.

Compared to Morgana, Fu Hua lacks Morgana's aggressive Charm and stunning figure, but she exudes a unique charm.

Like a lotus emerging from the mud, beautiful from afar; or like a thorny rose, sharp and hurtful; or like the purity of a lily, inviolable.

It's a strange and contradictory quality, but it's precisely this contradictory quality that's concentrated in one person, and that's what makes it even more attractive.

I wanted to understand her, I wanted to get closer to her, so much so that in the end, I myself became tainted by that contradictory color.

This is an infectious woman.

The same thought arose in the minds of Morgana and Kaisha at the same time.

Just as they looked so alike, Fu Hua finally spoke, facing 1342, and slowly said...

"What is this so-called God Tomb?"

1342 made no attempt to conceal anything, stating directly, "The Tomb of the Buried Gods."

Unlike the gloom of the demon, who was straightforward and devoid of any emotion, behind the white half-mask, those cold eyes met Fu Hua's gaze directly.

Pure sky blue, and dark, menacing black.

The two colors blend together, and the sky blue, which should have been rendered black, still retains its original color, which is admirable for its persistence and resilience.

1342's brow finally twitched, but only for a moment.

"If this is the tomb of the gods, why does it deviate from the established doctrines?" Fu Hua asked again.

The people who built the God Tomb did things that were completely contrary to their original intentions.

"As a subordinate, I don't need to ask too many questions about matters concerning elders; I just need to follow orders."

Fu Hua shook her head. It seemed she wouldn't get any information here. However, the only people who could be called elders were those who were highly respected or of advanced age.

Those who can be called elders in the God Tomb are definitely not lacking in either strength or knowledge.

What do these people have to do with them?

Fu Hua Huasi wanted to ask again, but the other party did not give her the chance.

The encirclement continued, but everyone was much more cautious. The loss of two Eagle Claws in an instant had put them on high alert.

Without any wounds and without knowing how the opponent appeared, they couldn't figure out Fu Hua's attack methods at all, putting Eagle Claws and the others at a disadvantage when facing Fu Hua.

As for Fu Hua, when exactly did she arrive, or had she been observing for a long time, preparing for the patterns of their Eagle Claws's actions?

It should be noted that some beings who are skilled at concealment can remain undetected even if they are two or three levels higher in cultivation. 1342 believes that if Fu Hua is not stronger than him, then she must have exceptional concealment abilities.

Regardless of which one, it would be enough to put 1342 on alert.

He did not order his Eagle Claws subordinates to risk their lives to test Fu Hua's true strength. Within Eagle Claws, members changed frequently, and there were countless replacements for each position.

However, there are many alternatives, but they cannot be squandered at will. Every person who can accumulate to such a level has consumed a lot of resources from the God Tomb. If they disappear without value, then even if they turn into souls, they will be captured by the God Tomb to work for them.

1342's caution was not without reason.

Fu Hua slightly raised the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, its tip reflecting a cold light in the air, as if a sharp edge was brewing within it.

The sword's material was no longer discernible, but it radiated a golden light and exuded the noble aura of a superior being. Fu Hua seemed to transform into a giant sword, and even just casually holding the sword and standing there, an endless aura of sharpness emanated from it.

Douluo I

One against thirteen—it was an unfair fight, but no one present had any doubts or felt guilty; it was as if it were perfectly natural.

Fu Hua remained silent, standing with her sword in hand.

The thirteen members of Eagle Claws were all in a solemn mood. The more indifferent Fu Hua seemed, the more serious they became, because it meant that the other party did not take them seriously.

Aside from those far stronger than them, there are those who have absolute confidence in their own abilities.

Between these two possibilities, they are more inclined to believe the latter: those who are absolutely confident in their own abilities can still face opponents far stronger than themselves with composure.

The Eagle Claws's claws began to show their sharpness. Countless people who could be called geniuses had died under their claws, so why bother with this one?

Falcon Spreads Its Wings

The Xuanyuan Sword in Fu Hua's hand also displayed its sharpness.

Like needles clashing at the wheat awn, neither side was willing to yield.

In the air, invisible blades seemed to dance, cutting through the air and emitting a piercing screech.

Beside her, Mei's lips curled into a smirk, and in an instant, a flurry of shadowy figures appeared, but unfortunately, they were hidden beneath her black robe.

At that moment, the sharpness suddenly exploded, and an invisible sword flew through the air, carrying a sharpness that could cut through anything, and attacked the Eagle Claws group.

The trembling sound continued incessantly, causing those who heard it to turn pale.

Sharp flying swords streaked through the air, striking the ten members of Eagle Claws along an eerie arc. Each sword strike possessed the Five God Powers, Fu Hua was unleashing her full power.

If you hold back when facing these Eagle Claws, then you have no choice but to fail.

An invisible forest of swords enveloped the ten Eagle Claws members, but left the three strongest members untouched. Fu Hua knew that these invisible swords could not harm them, so why waste her strength?

"Take care of yourselves. The rest of you ten, you'll have to face this on your own."

After saying this, Fu Hua withdrew, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

The Dust-Wiping Steps reveals itself.

Its footsteps swept across the ground, leaving not a speck of dust, demonstrating just how fast it moved.

With Teleport speed, Fu Hua appeared instantly in front of the three, 1342, and her Xuanyuan Sword Crescent Moon Sword Slash flashed down mercilessly.

The three were the strongest members of Eagle Claws, so their reactions were naturally faster. Before the sword light even fell, the three withdrew and formed a pincer movement, surrounding Fu Hua.

On the other side, the invisible forest of swords overwhelmed the other ten people, instantly leaving them with numerous wounds of varying sizes, with Sisi blood seeping into their bodies.

Since the sword forest is naturally a single, formless entity, it is impossible to discern its movement trajectory. Each sword beam disappears instantly after injuring them, making it impossible to see where it came from, before the next sword strike arrives.

After Fu Hua left, Jingwei and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Suddenly, Jingwei spoke up, saying, "To be honest, I don't want to join forces with you, because you're a hidden bomb. Who knows if you'll stab me in the back?"

"Similarly, I don't want you and your partner to be together either," Qian Renxue said.

"So..."

"... half for each person"

"Alright! Let's see who finishes the battle first!" Jingwei's expression hardened.

With a serious expression, he summoned his Blazing Fire Armor once more, his full-face mask fell off, and with a flap of his wings, he instantly left his spot and rushed towards the five people who were being bothered by the sword forest.

The remaining five were naturally Qian Renxue's. At this moment, she was still dressed in Angel God Armor, and the three pairs of angel wings on her back were slowly becoming transparent, as if they were about to merge into the divine attire.

With a jolt, golden light shot into the sky, purifying power unfolded, and the Angel Domain expanded, instantly enveloping the remaining five people.

Within the Angel Domain, everything will be suppressed.

On Jingwei's side, a layer of fiery red unfolded around her, rippling like water and slowly spreading out. Unlike the space she controlled, this time it was her true domain space.

The space was filled with flames, and even the sky was dyed red. The temperature within the domain was extremely high, seemingly surpassing that of the sun. The scorching flames caused the space to distort.

Qian Renxue's Angel Domain is filled with holiness and light, interspersed with golden flames, while Jingwei's Flame Domain is composed of pure, intoxicating flames, the purest and cleanest Lie Yan in the world.

It can even burn through space.

PS: There's no way out. I don't know how much longer I can hold on. I don't understand who her real child is. She always sides with others and never thinks about me.

Actually, it was already like this in the middle of the month. I endured it for half a month. The only thing that kept me going was this novel, but I don't know how much longer I can keep going.

So let me give you a heads-up: if this book suddenly stops updating one day, don't be surprised at all, because that's when I'm about to reach my breaking point.

Perhaps I'll update again once I've adjusted my mindset. My agitated state of mind only allows me to maintain a quality update; I have no desire for extra updates anymore.

Please stop sending monthly tickets and tips; I'm not interested anymore.
