Chapter 1416 - 1414: Arrogant Woman! How Dare You Ignore Me!
Zhu Ruoling never expected that in such a short time, she would have to experience the separation of life and death twice!
This was an extremely devastating blow to her.
Enough to destroy her life!
Although she had known the Divine Phoenix for less than a day, she inexplicably developed a sense of closeness, treating her as her own sister.
Even if she was unwilling to admit it, this inexplicable emotional connection was established by Lin Fan.
The Divine Phoenix was Lin Fan's woman, so she was willing to get close.
However.
When it rains, it pours.
Having just lost her brother due to the Three Thousand Red Cloud Army, she now encountered twenty ferocious Blood Demon Wolves and had to lose her sister, the Divine Phoenix.
Zhu Ruoling couldn't accept it no matter what.
"No... I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving..." Zhu Ruoling clutched the Divine Phoenix's wrist, her eyes brimming with tears, shaking her head vigorously.
"Ling'er! If we don't leave, neither of us will have a chance to survive!" The Divine Phoenix coldly stared ahead, her eyes flashing with a sharp glint.
The blood-red eyes of the Blood Demon Wolves seemed to want to devour souls, making people involuntarily tremble. They continuously emitted low growls like the roars of vengeful spirits in Hell, terrifying to the bone.
Frightening!
Horrifying!
Grim!
Terrorizing!
Even though the Divine Phoenix was from the Demon Clan, she had never seen such a terrifying creature, like something escaped from the Eighteenth Layer of Hell.
Owooo!
Owooo!
Owooo!
The Blood Demon Wolves suddenly raised their heads and howled at the sky!
The next second.
Over twenty Blood Demon Wolves raised their heads, howling collectively, their voices carrying a chilling murderous intent.
"Go!"
The Divine Phoenix widened her eyes, quickly pushing Zhu Ruoling aside!
Before the words even fell.
The twenty Blood Demon Wolves fixed their blood-red eyes on the Divine Phoenix, ferociously pouncing, mouths agape, their sharp fangs like two dagger-like blades, stabbing straight at her!
The Divine Phoenix was taken aback!
The speed of the Blood Demon Wolves was hundreds of times faster than she imagined!
In less than a breath!
The twenty Blood Demon Wolves had already reached the Divine Phoenix, biting fiercely at her.
However.
At this critical moment.
Without warning.
Dozens of water columns shot up from the ground!
Bam!
The ground split open, and dozens of water columns gushed out from the crevices, like fountains!
The water columns surrounded the Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling, forming a natural barrier!
The Blood Demon Wolves that had already approached the two were directly shot into the sky.
Subsequently!
The water columns quickly froze into ice, turning into sharp spikes, piercing the airborne Blood Demon Wolves with numerous holes.
In an instant!
Eight Blood Demon Wolves exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
The sudden change shocked both the Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling, making them glance at each other, bewildered.
They had no idea what had happened!
The remaining twelve Blood Demon Wolves stayed behind the ice pillars. Seeing their companions' shattered bodies, they dared not advance but also refused to retreat, circling the ice pillars, seeking flaws to enter.
"Ling'er, what is happening?"
"I... I don't know..."
The next second!
While the two were still confused, they heard the agonized howls of the Blood Demon Wolves from outside. They quickly looked outward, but the ice pillars blocked their view, only vaguely seeing a figure leisurely pacing, undisturbed by the Blood Demon Wolves' threat.
The Blood Demon Wolves rushed at the figure one by one, only for pitiful wails to resound repeatedly.
In less than a breath.
The outside fell utterly silent, with no sound at all.
Deathly silence!
The Divine Phoenix sensed something wrong, instantly tensing up, and shouted aloud. "Ling'er, be careful!"
She saw a figure slowly approaching them, and her heart skipped a beat.
What a powerful presence!
A strength the Divine Phoenix had never seen, as if a god had descended, fierce and violent.
She felt utterly insignificant like an ant, her legs involuntarily trembling.
Who... who could this possibly be?! Such immense power, a feeling she never sensed from Lin Fan.
Terrifying...
Truly too terrifying!
Though the person saved her, the aura emanating from them didn't bring the Divine Phoenix peace; instead, her heart raced violently, filled with trepidation and uncertainty.
This cold, ruthless, unruly feeling brought only fear, not a sense of security.
Lin Fan gave her a sense of stability; seeing Lin Fan made her feel at ease, even if the sky fell, Lin Fan would hold it up.
But this person, not only would they not hold up a collapsing sky, but perhaps they caused it to collapse!
As the Divine Phoenix pondered anxiously.
Bam!
A loud noise.
The surrounding ice pillars suddenly vanished, dissipating into mist.
In front.
A youth in a white robe with a blue lining appeared, neat and clean.
The Divine Phoenix was startled, her brows immediately knitting together with hostility.
She could tell at a glance.
Under the youth's immaculate and ethereal appearance hid a filthy heart.
Though she didn't know who the person was, nor why they had come, the person had just now saved their lives.
Still, her impression of this person was terrible, filled with involuntary fear.
"Ling'er, you..."
The Divine Phoenix was just about to warn Zhu Ruoling to be careful and not approach this mysterious figure.
But before she could finish speaking.
Zhu Ruoling ran over with a smile, crashing into the person's arms.
"Brother Zhengqing! It's you! Did you come to save us?!"
The newcomer was Lan Zhengqing.
Lan Zhengqing hadn't expected Zhu Ruoling to be so forward, momentarily stunned, his expression slightly awkward as he quickly pushed Zhu Ruoling away.
He glanced at the Divine Phoenix, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
The Divine Phoenix blinked in confusion; these two actually knew each other?! Fortunately, she hadn't voiced her suspicions earlier, or it would have been awkward.
Even though Zhu Ruoling seemed to know this Lan Zhengqing quite well and was pretty familiar with him, it wouldn't change her judgment.
This guy isn't simple and must be warily guarded against.
"Ling'er, do you know this person?" The Divine Phoenix quickly stepped forward, inserting herself between Zhu Ruoling and Lan Zhengqing, separating them.
"Oh... Sister Divine Phoenix. I forgot to introduce you; this is the Water Clan's prince, Lan Zhengqing." Zhu Ruoling blushed lightly as she mentioned Lan Zhengqing's name.
The Divine Phoenix frowned, giving Lan Zhengqing a cold look, scrutinizing him up and down. The person seemed fine, but the feeling he gave was too unnerving, making her skin crawl.
"Oh..."
She didn't say much more, nor did she show any surprise, merely responding with a faint "oh" to brush it off.
Lan Zhengqing was taken aback; this woman answered just like that?! He was, after all, a prince of the Water Clan, but she was so perfunctory?!
However, it was their first meeting, so he couldn't say much more, merely keeping a straight face and not engaging with the Divine Phoenix, instead looking towards Zhu Ruoling.
"Ling'er, how come you're here, surrounded by Blood Demon Wolves? If I hadn't shown up, you both would have died by now. This wasteland is extremely dangerous; why would you appear here?"
