The Princess And The Lord

In the narrow - dark tunnel, a shadow flashed followed by light footsteps and gasping breaths, between the uneven steps Lory ran with all his might he cast a light spell to all her body in order to move faster than a high-level cultivator then she used wind blades to crush the boulders blocking her path, Lory's face was tense and rigid as her mind got only one focus which finding Zhao Li Xin as soon as possible.

Lory continued to speed up his run following the fast path that emperor Lei Yu had pointed out even though Lory felt his goal was still too far and she was afraid that she would be too late to stop Zhao Li Xin from touching the crimson lightning sword.

Lory finally understood why Lazarus never really tried to stop them from searching for emperor Lei Yu's sword, Lazarus also never tried to harm Zhao Li Xin or Lory even though once in a while Lazarus still exercise his means but never followed through as if he enjoyed to see Lory and Lazarus struggles.

All this time Lazarus makes Lory never forget that her life is in his hands but he rarely appears in front of her, to make plans, makes it seem as if Lory has a chance to fight against him but it is all one big illusion cause without realizing Lory had fallen into Lazarus' grand plan.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Zhao Li Xin stared at the scarlet lightning sword that was bound by a huge chain and lifted into the air and under the giant lava pool throbbing and making a hissing sound while emitting white smoke that created a hot air that seemed to consume the oxygen causing the air around him to feel heavy and congested which was unbearable even for cultivators at Zhao Li Xin's level.

But Zhao Li Xin didn't feel the slightest bit afraid instead he was excited that at last his very long quest was finally over and with this, he will be able to get Lory out of Lazarus' clutches once and for all.

Somewhere else,  Emperor Lei Yu stepped towards the fiery creature that was raging with anger while continuing to roar and attack furiously, emperor Lei Yu watched the creature with a painful expression.

'When will this anger, hatred, pain, and sorrow end? he muttered softly.

Suddenly from empty air, A boy with a white robe and long black hair framed his pale face, the only thing that stood out was his bloody red lips.

'Maybe it won't be long' replied the boy in a childish voice.

Emperor Lei Yu glanced over his shoulder for a moment then turned his gaze back to the fiery creature before him who looked serious and calm 'Are they going to succeed...?'

'Doesn't matter the boy said calmly, 'They are the only hope we have...'

"Indeed" Emperor Lei Yu sigh in resignation.

suddenly the ferocious creature started convulsing then roared into the air and the fire around him was getting hotter then he turned around and gave an inexplicable glare then suddenly the creature disappeared along with all the flames around it.

'The time is coming,' the boys said heavily.

Emperor Lei Yu stared at the empty place for a long moment at the same time many emotions flashed in his eyes as he subconsciously balled his fist while muttering under his breath 'May the gods help us.'

At that moment, Zhao Li Xin was releasing her Qi and her flames flashed like a whip of fire shattering every chain that bound the crimson lightning sword.

The sound of metal breaking and falling to the ground with a loud thud soon after the crimson lightning sword finally broke free later on the sword started to make a pounding sound like a heartbeat, then a strong shockwave suddenly spread out in rapid speed.

In the Oblivion dimension, Marcus and Lorenna looked at each other holding hands, fear, sadness, and anxiety in their eyes but no words came out between them, they lowered their heads and then closed their eyes as they began to pray.

Arthea who was standing in the snow cave looking at the woman sleeping in the snow gasped in surprise then she looked over her shoulder with a gloomy look, she pressed her lips into a thin line and then place her hand on the ice wall "It's time for you to wake up.... Cartheanna" soon the wall begin to crack.

While in the mystic realm Huo Long stared at the distant volcano at the edge of the cliff, a thousand words hidden in his glittering ruby eyes, and the suffocating feeling of grief and guilt washing over him like a tide.

"I hope you can save him...Lorient" Huo Long mutter in a heavy tone.

If we can only carry one thing in our life, let it be hope because hope is the only thing that can help us through the darkness, hope is the only solace when everything seems to wither and die, hope is the only thing that binds us together in this nightmare that seems never ends.

The Crimson Lightning Sword slowly floated downwards towards Zhao Li Xin while emitting a bright light that shone with indescribable beauty, the reddish glow of the sword reflected in Zhao Li Xin's dark eyes as if teasing her.

Zhao Li Xin took a deep breath there was a strange feeling in her chest but she didn't want to waste any more time because the reason for coming to this place was obviously to kill Lazarus.

Zhao Li Xin stretched out her hand as her eyes were fixed on the sword, and before long Zhao Li Xin gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Lazarus' snake eyes glint maliciously, his whole body begins to tremble followed by a raucous laugh. All of a sudden the entire ground around the Yi Shan mountain shook violently at the same time all the beasts both hybrids and ordinary beasts inside and outside Yi Shan Mountain started to let out a long roar into the sky and the creatures made strange cheers that sounded like an ear-shattering screech

Lory's steps stopped as she could feel the air around her changing drastically a second later fear squeezes the air in her lungs and she laments inwardly.

<strong>"It's too late!"</strong>

"What's going on here?" Bei Li Yan had just beheaded the giant cyclops but he was startled by the sudden quake.

Jiang Jin Wei, who had also just finished killing the remaining cyclops, was surprised to see his shadow covered, he nodded his head to the sky and his eyes widened, "Look at the sky!"

Jin Hao and Wu San Bo looked up and they saw something that at first they thought was a clumping black cloud but they realized it wasn't a cloud but something else, something much darker, it was a dark poison that covered the sun's rays and all of a sudden everything turned pitch black.

Everyone in the city looked up at the sky in fear while the black miasma spread beyond the boundaries of the Hwang Wu continent.

Guan Men Niang and Yuan Xue An came out of the emergency tent like the others they looked up at the sky in bewilderment.

"Master..." Shin Jiu's voice trembled thinking about a certain weird master that he hold dear like a family.

"Young Master Lu, don't be afraid" Lan Hua grabbed Shin Jiu's shoulder tightly "They'll be fine, I'm sure of it!" Lan Hua said with a stiff smile no one knows if she trying to comfort the young boy or herself.

Meanwhile, Lan Hua stood quietly clenching her sword, she heard a rapid beat thinking of her older brother and the man she loved.
