Chapter 722: Chapter 718: The Power That Protects Her

At this moment, Su Qingluo was very worried.

Her whole being was a bit tense, worried that Cui Liyi would discover the system on her body.

Cui Liyi scrutinized Su Qingluo’s expression closely, observing the changes in her demeanor, he understood something, "You indeed have mysterious power."

"Is this power protecting you, or do you aim to get my heart through it?"

"Even if you got my body, you won’t get my heart."

"How could I easily give away my heart, fool."

Su Muyao felt a bit relieved hearing his words.

At least he didn’t know she had a system on her.

He only knew there was a certain power on her, or he thought there was some power behind her.

"There is no power, you’ve never believed me from the start."

Cui Liyi sneered, "Hah, believe you, Su Qingluo, would you believe it if you said so?"

"You, the great lady of the Su Family, lack nothing, as a beautiful, well-born, and superpowered female, you could completely marry a Beast Husband, any kind you want, even a handsome one, but you chose to marry into my Cui Family."

"What deep-rooted love, what unwavering affection, it’s all fake, you females are best at sweet talk, but in reality, you’re the most heartless and fickle."

"You sacrificed so much, marrying into my family, just for some ulterior motive, ha."

At this moment, Cui Liyi seemed to have returned to his initial self, extremely indifferent to her from the start.

As if the time they spent together in love was fake, nonexistent.

After saying these words, Cui Liyi suddenly leaned down and whispered in Su Muyao’s ear, in a gentle, tempting manner, "Tell me, is the power on you the power of the Creation Green Lotus?"

"Is it protecting you, right?"

"Even in death, it chose you to do some things..."

Su Qingluo heard these words and couldn’t understand any of it.

At this moment, she was actually in so much pain that her vision blurred, almost unable to hold on.

But Su Qingluo gritted her teeth to stay awake, not allowing herself to faint.

She couldn’t die here.

For some reason, Su Qingluo had a firm belief at this moment, she couldn’t die here.

She hated the Cui Residence, where Cui Liyi resided.

What Creation Green Lotus, "What is that?"

Cui Liyi looked at Su Qingluo’s puzzled expression, he was also stunned.

Could it be he guessed wrong?

While Cui Liyi spoke with Su Muyao, he was still in motion.

Until he finally dug out Su Qingluo’s Immortal Phoenix Bone.

It was an Immortal Phoenix Bone that shimmered with colorful light, beautifully exquisite.

"Ah..."

Su Qingluo tried to suppress a scream, but the pain was too great.

Her whole body was trembling, her face drained of color.

The intense pain her body and mind suffered peaked instantly.

Su Qingluo felt as if her consciousness was about to be torn apart by the pain, the Spiritual Power within her like ignited explosives, raging and clashing amidst the agony.

Also at this moment, the system, unknown how, was heartachingly pained for the Host, and at the critical moment exploded with a surge of strength.

This surge possibly countered the restriction within Su Qingluo’s body, and suddenly burst forth with a vast green superpower.

This power lay dormant deep in her bloodline, even she had never realized it, awakened utterly at this extreme moment of pain and despair.

The green light instantly shattered the chains of restriction set by Cui Liyi.

The dazzling green light enveloped her whole body, brimming with vigorous vitality.

Cui Liyi only felt a powerful impact rushing towards him, accompanied by a sense of danger from this aura.

He instinctively withdrew his beast claws, quickly retreating to avoid it.

With the Immortal Phoenix Bone in his hands, Cui Liyi naturally prioritized his safety.

Yet a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Normally, under his sealed restriction power and the drugs he administered, Su Qingluo couldn’t unleash any superpower, nor escape the restriction here.

But within the light, Su Qingluo’s figure gradually grew transparent.

The next moment, Su Qingluo completely vanished from the spot, leaving only a pool of blood behind.

...

Upon opening her eyes again, Su Qingluo found herself in the midst of a dense mountain forest.

Seeing the environment here, Su Qingluo sighed a bit in relief.

But she was too weak at this time, her clothes soaked in blood, the excruciating pain in her back was unbearable.

"Host, quickly use the Wood Element Ability to heal the injury."

Su Qingluo tried using her Wood Element Ability, but it was useless.

The injury from having the Immortal Phoenix Bone removed wasn’t a normal wound, though her back had healed, there was still a gaping wound continually oozing blood.

Su Qingluo pressed on through the pain, running swiftly.

For some reason, she felt strongly that Cui Liyi would not let her go.

Moreover, the Cui Residence and Cui Liyi were very powerful.

Indeed, soon after, Su Qingluo received a faint system alert in her mind.

"Host, run, there’s a powerful Fierce Beastman hunting you down."

The system had just assisted Su Qingluo in escaping, and the System Power was now very weak and exhausted.

Su Qingluo’s face changed dramatically, stumbling through the forest, the shallow cuts on her body scratched deeper by twigs.

With every step she took, the stabbing pain in her back seemed to tear her apart, and the dizziness grew more severe.

Yet she dared not stop, even with legs turning to jelly, even with blurry vision, she kept gritting her teeth, running forward with the last ounce of strength left.

But soon, a group of Fierce Beastmen caught up with her.

Su Qingluo had no strength left to run any further.

The system could only keep using System Power to cloak her presence.

But such hide-and-seek drained the system’s power continually.

Initially, the system could effortlessly obscure her aura, even briefly disrupting the pursuers’ tracking, yet after many such attempts, the system’s alerts grew progressively weaker, its voice breaking intermittently.

"Host... I’m sorry, the System Power is nearly depleted... next time, cloaking might not fully mask your presence..." the system’s voice carried a deep exhaustion, as if it might vanish at any moment.

Su Qingluo’s heart sank, guilt and despair twined together.

At that moment, several pursuers found her again, their sharp swords slicing through the air towards where Su Qingluo hid.

Su Qingluo couldn’t use much superpower now; she instinctively retaliated.

But she was too weak now, her arm got cut by a sword, and fresh blood gushed out, sprinkling onto the fallen leaves beside her.

"Was it Cui Liyi who sent you?"

"Our Young Master’s order is to kill you."

Hearing those words again, Su Qingluo’s heart ached involuntarily.

She wanted to forget all this.

"Host, I’ll definitely find a way for you, let you forget him, forgetting him means no more pain."

Su Muyao saw all this, clutching her chest in pain.

She knew when she was Su Qingluo, her strength was weak.

Understanding how she felt back then, she couldn’t help but want to cry for her former self.

Cui Liyi was so ruthless.

...

The place where the Chaos Wild Beastman was once born, Chaos Mountain, only there could Cui Liyi fully awaken.

Cui Liyi, who should have normally awakened, encountered a disturbance at the final step.

He seemed trapped in a nightmare, his Divine Soul seemingly journeying elsewhere.

To fully awaken, he naturally needed to sever ties to some past things to grasp the true Destruction Power to annihilate the world.

But his Divine Soul seemed to glimpse certain scenes, seeing the things he did to his former wife, making his mindset collapse, his Dao Heart unstable.

"Rumble..."

The lands around the summit were all fracturing, much like Cui Liyi’s near-breaking state of mind.

The Destructive Black Lotus’ power was being suppressed here.

It had initially thought that as long as Cui Liyi wished to awaken, it was fine.

But after awakening for so long yet not fully awakening, the Destructive Black Lotus grew impatient.

Upon sensing the abnormal awakening disturbance in Chaos Mountain, especially feeling Cui Liyi’s unstable aura, the Destructive Black Lotus was nearly driven insane, going nearly berserk.

"Just one step away, just one step, how could it be like this."

"Your state of mind collapsed; quickly stabilize your mindset."

"Don’t you want to become a Chaos Wild Beastman, and have the most formidable power, to do whatever you wish to do, even Shen Jinsuo couldn’t take anyone from you."

Despite now alluring Cui Liyi, the Destructive Black Lotus’ power was very feeble, having little influence over him.

Yet, the Destructive Black Lotus was near desperation.

Only half awakened, how could that suffice?
