Both Sides Suffered Heavy Losses

On the ground, the ghost king was opening its huge mouth, waiting for the two blood prey to feed to it.

Shen Ge naturally noticed it too, but his internal organs had been almost completely burned by Huang Tao's fire sword, and he was already powerless to move. The previous attack was the last bit of strength he had used.

Moreover, several Sword Qi were chasing after him, and he would probably be chopped into pieces before he even reached the Ghost King's mouth.

"Shen Ge! Hahahaha! Not a loss, not a loss at all, it's not a loss for us to travel together! Just you wait, if there's an underworld, I'll definitely torture you a thousand times over on the way, hahahaha!"

As Huang Tao fell, he saw Shen Ge grinning maliciously, his eyes seeming to want to tear him to pieces.

"Brother Shen!"

A woman's anxious voice rang out in the air. Shen Ge turned around and saw Han Yu rapidly approaching on a flying sword, with Su Du following behind her.

Shen Ge glanced at the Sword Qi above his head, then at Han Yu, and without hesitation said, "Don't come any closer, it's too late!"

But he was so weak at that moment that his voice was barely audible, and only he himself could hear it.

Su Du, who was behind, estimated the speed of the Sword Qi energy and Han Yu's speed, and his expression changed. He said, "Xiao Yu, come back, don't go, come back! Be good!"

But Han Yu is now preoccupied with saving Shen Ge and won't listen to Su Du at all.

Seeing that Han Yu didn't take her words seriously at all, Su Du was furious. She stomped her foot angrily, gritted her teeth, and chased after Han Yu.

To be honest, she didn't care about Shen Ge's life or death, but she cared about Han Yu's life or death. The two had been together since they were teenagers, and now they had been together for more than 30 years. Their love was already as deep as the sea. She couldn't let Han Yu go to his death while she did nothing.

As Han Yu and the Sword Qi drew ever closer, Shen Ge closed his eyes. He couldn't persuade or stop them; he had no choice but to close his eyes and stop watching the impending bloody scene.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha, Shen Ge, I never thought you'd have a woman by your side even in death. What a pity, they're just a pair of doomed lovers, hahahaha!"

Han Yu glanced at Shen Ge, knowing that if she went to catch him, they would both die. So Han Yu flew towards the sword light without hesitation, intending to shield Su Du Shen Ge with her own body.

Su Du saw Han Yu tilt her head slightly upwards and understood her plan, so he immediately roared, "Han Yu, are you out of your mind to risk your life to save someone who doesn't even like you?! Have you forgotten that we promised to live forever together?! What's the point of me building this dynasty if you die?! Stop it!"

Han Yu glanced back at Su Du, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but the next moment she turned her head away with a resolute expression.

"Sister, I've never asked you for anything in my life, but this time I want to ask you for help. Please catch Brother Shen and bring him into the palace. You must!"

Su Du was furious at Han Yu's disobedience. Helpless, she immediately sped up to catch up. Two breaths later, Su Du caught up with Han Yu, but by then the sword light had arrived, and she didn't have time to take Han Yu away.

Feeling the stinging sensation on his skin, Su Du raised his hand for a moment, and a phantom image of a jade seal appeared. He then slammed his other hand down on Han Yu's shoulder.

"If you want to save him, go save him. I don't even like him, why should I save him?"

"Sister... Sister..."

Han Yu stared blankly at Su Du, who was pressing down on her, her eyes wide with shock. But the next moment, she panicked. "No... no! Sister, you can't do this... no..."

Su Du didn't lower her head, but her tone suddenly softened. "Xiao Yu, since you've acknowledged me as your older sister, it's only right for an older sister to protect her younger sister."

"You know my habit of putting things away, right? Go find it, get it, and from now on you'll be the new Empress of the Phoenix Kingdom."

"Little sister, may every day of your remaining life be filled with the rising sun."

Shen Ge opened her eyes and saw Han Yu and Su Du. She wanted to say something, but in the end she closed her eyes, because it would be useless to say anything at this point.

The phoenix had just emerged from the illusory image of the jade seal when, before it could even spread its wings, two sword lights severed its wings, while simultaneously using its body to block three more sword lights.

The final sword light pierced through the phoenix phantom, shattering the jade seal phantom and striking Su Du, splitting him in two from head to toe.

However, the sword light dissipated as a result, since the illusory jade seal had blocked most of the power and was already powerless after being blocked by Su Du.

"Elder sister!"

Han Yu shouted and tried to grab her, but only drops of blood drifted down.

Sad? Heartbroken?

These emotions are far from enough to describe Han Yu's feelings at this moment. Su Du died right before her eyes, and he did so to shield her from a sword. Han Yu's heart suddenly felt empty, completely empty.

Huang Tao watched this scene with resentment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything because he could tell that Han Yu's mind had gone blank, and he didn't want to make a sound to remind her.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, the Ghost King, unable to wait any longer, flew into the air and opened its blood-red maw to swallow Huang Tao. Inside the giant maw, Huang Tao stared intently at Shen Ge with a face full of resentment until the maw closed.

Han Yu was jolted back to her senses by the loud roar. She glanced at the eerie Ghost King not far away, and the next moment she flew directly towards Shen Ge.

A tiny ant dared to steal the blood food that was about to be eaten by him! The Ghost King immediately felt that his dignity had been challenged. He opened his blood-red maw and spewed out a gust of cold wind, which howled like a steel knife and blew towards Han Yu.

Instantly, Han Yu's skin cracked, and cuts of varying depths appeared all over his body, blood gushing out, making him look as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood.

Just as the Ghost King was about to devour them, half of the corpse fell in front of him, immediately drawing his attention. The other half fell not far away, and the rich smell of blood lured him like a beautiful woman's seduction.

"No... no..." Han Yu murmured. Despite her reluctance, Su Du's corpse was still chewed up and swallowed by the ghost king in a few bites.

Upon receiving Shen Ge, Han Yu shed two tears of blood. Although she desperately wanted to kill the Ghost King and retrieve Su Du's body, she ultimately only flew towards the palace with Shen Ge.

Seeing the food trying to run away, the Ghost King roared and immediately gave chase. If the food hadn't cut in line, he would have swallowed both of them long ago.

Han Yu was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Although he was two or three breaths ahead of the Ghost King, the Ghost King was still a Ghost King. Even if he was clumsy, he could still fly faster than Han Yu was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

In less than two breaths, they caught up with Han Yu outside the national fortune shield, just as he opened his blood-red maw to devour the food.
