183: Chapter 183 May the King Be Safe and Sound Every Year

He had actually managed to bridge the gap of a blood feud and truly capture the heart of the long-trained Su Daji.

This caused the Supreme Forgetting Joy and Union Canon to reach consummation at this very moment.

Su Daji did not answer.

She took a step forward, and in the next instant, she appeared before Su Chen.

She gently caught his swaying body.

Their eyes met.

Su Chen looked at her.

The woman before him still possessed that face capable of toppling kingdoms, but her temperament had completely changed.

The deliberately feigned flirtatiousness had faded away.

The little fox before him carried a pure, innate charm.

It was as if this peerless woman was born to be a soul-stealing messenger.

Her Supreme Forgetting Joy and Union Canon...

Although far from reaching great mastery,

It had still reached a very respectable level.

Even more so,

Between her brows, a purple-gold flame mark was burning fiercely.

That was the sign that this cultivation technique had begun to show some success.

"Great King..."

Su Daji spoke, her voice very soft.

"Demon Concubine Su Daji is sorry, Great King."

"This concubine arrived late."

"No, not just this time."

"Demon Concubine Su Daji is truly unforgivable."

"I have always misunderstood the Great King, and even wanted to kill him."

"The Great King who is the best to me in the whole world."

"The one who once told me personally..."

"'You must become your own King'..."

She lowered her head and pressed a gentle kiss onto Su Chen's blood-stained lips.

This kiss had nothing to do with romance.

After the kiss, she gently pushed Su Chen back to a safe place.

She turned to face the ashen-faced Li Yingran.

Her purple dress fluttered without wind, and her black hair flew wildly.

She held no weapon in her hand, only slowly raising her right hand.

With her palm facing up, a cluster of pure purple flame without a hint of impurity burned quietly.

In the center of the flame, a vague phantom of a charming goddess sat cross-legged.

"Martial Aunt."

Su Daji's voice remained calm.

"You just said you wanted to take the Great King's head to exchange for a bright future for the Hehuan Sect."

"Now."

"Demon Concubine Su Daji will use your head..."

"To exchange for the Great King's... eternal peace."

Before her voice had even faded, she moved.

With just a simple step, her figure appeared in front of Li Yingran.

With a light pat of her delicate hand, the cluster of purple flame in her palm drifted toward Li Yingran's chest.

As someone at the peak of the Houtian Realm, only a single step away from the Xiantian Realm, how could she not feel it?

The cluster of flame in Su Daji's hand...

Could truly take her life.

Li Yingran shrieked, her spiritual power surging frantically as she laid down layers of light shields in front of her.

At the same time, countless poisoned hidden weapons shot out from her sleeves as she retreated rapidly.

She was, after all, an established powerhouse of the Hehuan Sect.

Now that she was using all her life-saving methods, her power was quite extraordinary.

However...

*Poof.*

With a soft sound, that slow purple flame passed through all the spiritual light shields without any resistance.

The hidden weapons hit the flame and vaporized instantly.

They didn't have the slightest effect before disappearing directly.

The flame pressed onto Li Yingran's arms, which she had hurriedly crossed to block.

"Ah—!"

A scream so shrill it didn't sound human echoed across the snowy plains.

Li Yingran's arms were instantly charred and carbonized in the purple flame.

Then, they decomposed into fly ash, scattering everywhere over the snow.

The flame seemed to have a life of its own, spreading up her arms.

Wherever it passed,

Clothing, flesh, and bone all turned to ash.

This was absolute suppression in both technique grade and cultivation realm.

Xiantian against Houtian.

An ordinary Hehuan Sect technique against the top-tier Supreme Forgetting Joy and Union Canon.

This was a fundamental leap.

Like the difference between clouds and mud.

As Li Yingran retreated in defeat and the flame seemed sufficient to kill her,

Facing this Martial Aunt who could be said to have raised her,

Su Daji's eyes were cold, without the slightest hesitation.

She joined her left fingers like a sword and slashed through the air.

A purple sword light flashed.

Li Yingran's terrified expression froze on her face.

Her head flew high into the air, and the blood spraying from her neck was incinerated by the remaining purple flames before it could even hit the ground.

The headless corpse swayed and collapsed onto the ground.

The wind and snow continued, and the world was desolate.

Su Daji stood alone in the snow, her purple clothes fluttering and her black hair flowing like a waterfall.

Her peerless face was reflected in the light of the snow and the fading purple flames.

She looked like a War God from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal realm.

Heroic and dazzling.

Su Chen leaned against a broken wine jar, watching this scene, and let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

We won...

Though the process was tragic, they had won in the end.

Su Daji had broken through to the Xiantian Realm, killed a powerful enemy, and finally completely severed her ties with the Hehuan Sect to face her true heart.

Su Chen recalled the three tasks the system had given him.

Uncover the origin of the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect?

That was already completed.

Reform the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect so she no longer wants to kill him.

Uh...

This...

The way Su Daji looked at him just now, wasn't it already a bit unusual?

As expected of the Galgame master, Su Xiaochen.

Even for the final task, he could be considered to have completed a small part.

Currently, Su Daji had the ability to protect herself.

Next, he, the King of Yin, only needed to let her survive the chaotic times at the end of the Yin Dynasty.

His investment... was seeing the dawn of a return.

Su Chen was even secretly calculating.

How to make good use of the cards in his hand while keeping Su Daji safe,

And then thoroughly disgust those hypocritical ancestors.

After finishing his thoughts, Su Chen forced a smile, wanting to call out to Su Daji.

However, the moment the corners of his mouth curled up,

In mid-air, that figure like a female War God suddenly swayed.

Immediately after, in Su Chen's suddenly contracting pupils,

Su Daji's delicate body went limp, as if all her bones had been removed.

Her body fell straight down from the height of several meters like a broken ragdoll.

"Beloved Consort!"

Not knowing what was happening to Su Daji, Su Chen lunged forward.

An instant before she hit the ground, he caught her firmly in his arms.

The warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms felt terrifyingly limp.

"Cough, Great King..."

Su Daji leaned in his arms, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth as she forced a smile.

"This concubine... is impressive, right?"

"Don't talk!"

Su Chen was completely baffled.

Based on paper strength, the awakened Su Daji should have instantly killed Li Yingran.

In the battle just now, Su Daji had indeed won with ease and grace.

Even with Su Chen's eyesight, he couldn't see that Su Daji had any injuries.

Faced with this sudden situation, Su Chen could only hold her tightly with one hand and press his other hand to the pulse on her wrist.

He tried to detect if there was a problem with the meridians in her body.

This probe made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Chaos.

Total chaos.

The spiritual power in her body, which should have been as vast as the sea due to her breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm, was now like a runaway horse, crashing wildly through her meridians, completely defying any common sense of cultivation.
