Chapter 1283 - 642: Hunt and Promise
"Materials sent to the door, what are you babbling about!"
Ji Jue did not hesitate to unleash Pan Ying Blood Flame once again, causing Pan Ying to burn a bright crimson, almost unbearable…
Damn, scared to death!
For a moment, he really thought the wolf within him had descended, preparing for reckless self-destruction of Pan Ying, only to find it was just a parasite daring to covet him?
Outrageous!
Amidst the eruption of Blood Flames, mercury streams gathered, entangled layer upon layer, then the Three-phase Alchemy exploded, pulling all spiritual matter inward, like a vortex!
The wolf within him was formless, shapeless; if it escaped from this vessel, who knows what trouble it would cause. Even a mere thought from it could possess someone if not careful—who the hell could live like this?!
Black flames within the soul reflection erupted from the silver light, thoroughly engulfing the wolf within, sticky black flames dissolving all spiritual and material essence, losing their original appearance in the uncontrollable chaos.
The wolf within him roared in anger, writhing in unexpected pain; its face pierced by Pan Ying suddenly lunged forward, biting towards Ji Jue, unfazed by the agony of soul tearing!
Just a line away, all it needs is…
Snap!
A line of light descended from the sky!
Hunting Finger·Flying Light!
At the critical moment, An Ning chose to project herself to the wolf within, not casting Flying Light but… all of herself after exerting her full effort!
No need for strength, or technique.
The capacity summoned by the Hunter Finger series was only one—a projection—that, for the target, bore no relevance to size or weight, with no distinction between inside and outside.
Such brute force activated this power, reversing herself as a weapon, An Ning soared skyward, pierced through the air.
Her remaining left hand raised, fingers like a knife.
With the last glimmer of light, she fiercely stabbed, piercing the face down to the elbow, finally grasping that invisible heart.
Grasp tightly, Flying Light bursts!
Ultimate kill!
Boom!!!
In the fierce howling, the yet unformed wolf within was dragged into the silver vortex, everything dissolved into nothingness in the black flame.
It ended.
But as he fell from mid-air, Ji Jue looked up, finally seeing…
That shattered face of rolling flesh.
In An Ning's eyes, gradually a hint of scarlet emerged, spreading swiftly, engulfing the last glimmer within her soul completely.
In a moment of astonishment, she seemed to understand something.
Or perhaps, she was prepared back when she soared upward.
Just, a final smile to Ji Jue.
Free and happy.
She said, "Goodbye, Ji Jue."
Thus, that glimmer maintaining her soul emerged from her fingertips, piercing herself.
The hunter launched a fatal blow towards the last wolf!
Without hesitation!
Faster was Ji Jue.
One last time, he unleashed the blood light of Pan Ying, propelling himself towards An Ning during the fall, leaping, his hand clutching her wrist.
Dissociation Technique!
The rampant spiritual shock penetrated his body, diffused within the soul and matrix, turbulently reverberating, forcibly halting everything.
Disappear Flying Light.
In the last moment, what An Ning saw was an expression she had never seen before.
Dark, violent, devouring!
Just like…
Wolf?
Chun Jun reversed, the reflection covered the soul, black flames erupted from the steel, like thorns, the Wolf Blood Oath abruptly expanded.
The wolf not belonging to the Great Evil appeared, biting close to the hunter, bared its teeth, greedily gnawing.
For the first time, Ji Jue activated the power bestowed by the Forest Country.
[Plunder]!
Robbing all blood light and wolf poison within the soul, revealing fangs to the budding wolf within, forcibly extracting, ignoring the illusion-like wailing, devouring all spreading wolf blood, even the oath not yet imprinted on the soul was completely stripped away, digested, regardless of the wounds left.
Until reclaiming what was his from another wolf's mouth!
Boom!
He held An Ning, fell to the ground.
The final flame light recoil erased most of the power, Ji Jue rolled in the mud pit, feeling his whole body on the verge of shattering, lacking the strength to rise again.
With the death of all enemies, the Circle Realm and blockade shattered loudly.
He saw the bloody sky once more.
And, An Ning.
In the daze, she opened her eyes again.
As if awakening from a long dream, she stared at Ji Jue.
Recalling everything from the nightmare, in those hollow pupils, seemed to emerge some dim light, as if abandoned.
She seemed about to speak.
But ultimately, no sound came.
Only her gaze, gradually icy, watching the helpless wolf before her!
"Aren't you going to say something, Ji Jue?" She asked finally.
"Uh…"
Ji Jue pondered for a moment, looked at her, sincerely commented, "I must say, you look much cuter now than when you bid farewell just now."
Snap!
The sound of breaking echoed.
An Ning extended her hand, fingers like a knife, tearing flesh, pierced into his chest, tightly clasping that metal heart.
Flying Light reappears!
That glimmer erupted from her fingertips, bringing the chill of death.
Fleeting, vanished.
When doubt emerges, even if you give your all, you can only leave a tiny, insignificant scratch...
Thus, the Hunter was enraged.
She pulled Ji Jue closer, filled with anger and hatred, she opened her mouth and bit into his neck with all her might, tearing flesh and blood.
Just like a wolf...
Leaving a mark.
"You are my prey, do you understand?!"
An Ning raised her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, glared fiercely at Ji Jue, and told him maliciously, "If any other hunter wants to lay a hand on you, they'll have to kill me first!
But if one day, you truly become a wolf, then I'll come to kill you!
Until then, mm..."
Before she could finish, her words came to an abrupt halt.
That helpless face closed in.
Embracing her, holding the back of her head, not allowing her to evade, blocking those blood-stained lips, tasting the fragrance of wolf blood through the Hunter's mouth, wantonly plundering everything that belonged to him.
Until hatred and anger could no longer be maintained, the stiff body gradually softened, no longer feeling any resistance.
"Then come."
Ji Jue softly promised in her ear, "I'll be waiting."
An Ning said nothing more.
After overexerting again and again, she no longer had the strength to stay awake, just watching Ji Jue, gradually, deeply falling asleep, completely unguarded.
Ji Jue held her, slowly stood up, his movements slightly paused, his expression stiffened for a moment.
Finally, he felt the mark on his heart, so deep, already engraved in the steel, carelessly wandering, done in one stroke.
It was her name.
As if marking one's name on the favorite things.
Not allowing others to take it, to let everyone see at a glance.
[An Ning]
"..."
Ji Jue sighed silently, his raised hand slowly lowered again.
Forget it, forget it, just leave it, after all, isn't everywhere marked with 'I was here'...
But, when he turned around, finally looked toward Tong Shan, who was idly gazing at the sky not far away, he suddenly felt awkward.
Darn.
You ate all the melon!
Tong Shan sat on a stone on the ground, looking at him with a half-smile, "Only now you think of silencing me? Isn't it a bit late?"
"Yeah."
Ji Jue shook his head, "Can you keep it a secret for me?"
"A secret?"
Tong Shan also chuckled, "Which part?"
The part I've always kept secret, or the part you just exposed, or maybe... the part that shouldn't be exposed in front of me?
Ji Jue sighed, "It's best if you keep it all a secret."
So, Tong Shan laughed.
Controlling the last bit of telekinesis, helping him clean up the messy things, sent the unconscious Ji Liu and Ji Xue into the trunk, and restarted the Little Ox and Horse.
He sat in the back seat, rolled up his sleeves, injected the final shot of orange-red medication, and visibly, the pale face showed a hint of color.
Finally, looked at Ji Jue.
"The rest is up to you."
"Ah, leave it to me."
Ji Jue nodded.
Thus, Tong Shan lifted the uniform, revealing the Bone Knife stabbed directly to the hilt in his heart, the most important reason he lived till now.
Gritting his teeth, he pulled it out.
In an instant, the last consciousness completely dissipated.
Mercury flowed, covered his body, forcibly maintaining his last breath.
The armor car with cracks all over it once again moved forward.
There was no one left to block their way, not even wolves at this critical moment would probably have time to bother with these fugitives... and so, they crossed over the low hills, over the last mud pond, until they finally crossed the boundary set by the Security Bureau.
After experiencing all the hardships along the way, they drove out of the Forest Country.
Turning back, looking at the blood-red sky, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Even if there is some regret, there is no way.
It is what it is.
He told himself, just like this, Ji Jue.
But now, when he raised his head, looking at the sky outside the Forest Country, he found that the same scarlet still spread across the sky.
The sky remained blood-red.
Amidst the rumbling, bomber formations roared past in the sky, dropping solidified gasoline bombs towards the villages below.
Instantly, flames spread abruptly, engulfing everything.
No wails or laments to be heard.
Only roaring flames, surging, rising to the sky, like souls struggling futilely in the fire.
Illuminating the entire sky into a scarlet hue.
Thus, there was no difference between the earth and sky now.
Ji Jue stood there, stunned.
Dazed.
At that moment, he finally understood.
The sky in hell, it turns out, is burning red.
Boom!!!
Amidst the burning and spreading flames, the Forest Country behind suddenly trembled, the obscure wails sounded like thunder, resounded from the deepest place, it was countless souls reduced to beasts roaring.
The reborn wolf opened its eyes.
Seeing all before it, crying, mourning with blood!
