206: Chu Li loses control

"Why did you stop me? Where did Xiao Yue go?!

Why are you stopping me?!!"

Chu Li grabbed Song Jun by the collar, his eyes bloodshot as he angrily rebuked him.

Gu Xiaoyue just disappeared before him; how could he accept that!

"Calm down!"

Song Jun glanced at the somewhat smug Linshan Mountain Demon. He gritted his teeth, telling Chu Li to calm down.

But Chu Li seemed to have gone mad, his eyes red and panting heavily, repeatedly roaring.

"Why did you stop me?! Why?!"

Shui Lingyu seemed to retain a shred of sanity. He rushed forward and punched Chu Li in the face.

"Calm down!"

He then turned his head and said to Song Jun.

"Colonel Song, first lead the men to kill the fierce beast! If it doesn't die, all of us will perish here!"

Song Jun nodded solemnly.

He pointed to a few soldiers and Beastmaster volunteers with the highest combat power, "You few, follow me!"

The Linshan Mountain Demon had just used its spatial displacement skill on Gu Xiaoyue, so it probably wouldn't use it again for a short time.

Get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, high-level combatants might be sent to who knows what time and space!

Chu Li was indeed calmed down by Shui Lingyu's punch.

But it wasn't true calmness; he had fallen into endless self-blame!

Chu Li, oh Chu Li, reborn into this life, and still you watched Xiao Yue disappear before you!

You promised to protect her, yet not only was she always taking care of you, at the critical moment, could you only watch her disappear before your eyes?!

How ironic!

What to do? What should I do?

Chu Li was completely at a loss, his world had collapsed—

After a fierce battle, the Linshan Mountain Demon was finally subdued by everyone.

"So what if you kill me! That human girl who killed my three brothers—hahaha!"

"Where did you send her?!"

Colonel Qian Ce asked anxiously, but the Mountain Demon kept its eyes tightly shut, remaining silent as if playing coy.

Until it breathed its last.

Even in death, the Linshan Mountain Demon wanted to sicken and torment them.

In fact, the Mountain Demon itself didn't know where Gu Xiaoyue had been sent; this spatial displacement skill was inherently random!

If it could control it, it would have wished to throw her into a spatial rift, letting her be torn to shreds!

The bright moon hung high, and the death of the Linshan Mountain Demon brought a perfect end to this beast tide.

Song Jun had to admit that, thanks to Gu Xiaoyue and the others, the defense against the beast tide had been relatively smooth.

There were almost no casualties.

Only Gu Xiaoyue's whereabouts—

Song Jun walked up to Chu Li and Shui Lingyu with an apologetic expression.

"Given the situation at the time, Major Dong and I had to stop you.

Gu Xiaoyue's condition is unknown, but I had to at least ensure your safety!"

"So, you could sacrifice Xiao Yue?"

The light had faded from Chu Li's eyes; his question seemed to be merely subconscious.

"Chu Li, don't be like this—"

He Zhichen also came over to comfort him, his heart also aching, but he believed that Gu Xiaoyue would surely be blessed and safe!

It would have been better if He Zhichen hadn't spoken; his comfort sounded utterly sarcastic in Chu Li's ears.

Chu Li suddenly stood up and punched He Zhichen!

"It's all you! Colonel Song told us to evacuate long ago, if it wasn't for you!

If it wasn't for you wanting to protect your brother, Xiao Yue wouldn't have been at the very front! It's all your fault!"

Chu Li wanted to throw a few more punches, but Shui Lingyu stopped him.

"Chu Li, calm down! Now is not the time for assigning blame!"

"Then what time is it?! Xiao Yue is gone! You don't care, do you?"

Chu Li was like a trapped beast, everywhere he looked, his surroundings were filled with enemies!

When Shui Lingyu stopped him, he swung his fist at Shui Lingyu!

Shui Lingyu's body had also been strengthened multiple times; he grabbed Chu Li's swinging fist, stopping his movement!

"Fire Phoenix and Qingqing have a bond; shouldn't you ask Fire Phoenix if it can sense Qingqing's life or death?"

Shui Lingyu pushed forcefully, sending Chu Li back a few steps.

"Participating in the defense against the beast tide, and even fighting at the front, was something Xiao Yue enjoyed!

Don't vent your anger on anyone!

Finding her whereabouts, or—completing what she wanted to do, is more important!

Isn't it?!"

Shui Lingyu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

He was holding back, holding back the tears in his eyes.

After Gu Xiaoyue was swallowed by the black hole, he immediately asked his Fire Phoenix.

But his Fire Phoenix and Qingqing didn't have a deep bond; its summoning skill skill was only at an intermediate level.

So when he asked Fire Phoenix about Qingqing's whereabouts.

His Fire Phoenix merely shook its head regretfully, feeling nothing.

Shui Lingyu's rebuke was like a sudden blow, and Chu Li seemed to regain some of his senses.

He quickly summoned Fire Phoenix, and before he could even ask, he saw that Fire Phoenix also had a distraught expression.

"Master, I can't sense Qingqing anymore! It's like, like being separated by a wall—"

Fire Phoenix lowered its head, looking blankly at its own hands.

Chu Li was struck by lightning, frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time.

"You just can't sense her temporarily, it doesn't mean Qingqing is dead!

You need to pull yourself together, otherwise, when Qingqing comes back, I'll definitely tell her that you're not worth entrusting her life to!"

The White Vulture, seeing Fire Phoenix's dejected appearance, couldn't help but get a little angry.

Qian Ce pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.

"The White Vulture is right. Although there's no clue about Gu Xiaoyue now, we can't confirm that she has sacrificed herself.

I will report this situation to the superiors."

The implication was that he would use all his military power to investigate Gu Xiaoyue's whereabouts.

Chu Li's eyes were dark and unclear as he raised his hand to dismiss Fire Phoenix.

He would also have the Chu family investigate, but if even Fire Phoenix couldn't sense Qingqing's information, then Xiao Yue—

Gu Xiaoyue, who was sucked into the black hole, indeed experienced the distortion of a spatial rift.

Waves of distorting pressure almost tore her body apart!

Fortunately, she had undergone twelve body enhancements, and her physical body was strong enough to endure until space expelled her.

As if being disliked by the spatial black hole, she was fiercely thrown onto a patch of grass.

Gu Xiaoyue landed before she could even exclaim, her entire body aching as if run over by a large truck.

Even the first time she went to Lianxin Waterfall and fainted from pain wasn't as bad as this!

Every breath she took caused her excruciating pain; not only were several ribs likely broken, but her internal organs were also damaged.

Gu Xiaoyue's thoughts stirred, and she summoned Xiao Lan.

She thought that in her current state, Xiao Lan would perform Water Therapy for her without even being asked.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Lan saw her condition, not only did he perform Water Therapy, but he also bit his lip and began to shed tears.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Lan was enveloped in a silver aura, his long hair almost sweeping Gu Xiaoyue's face as he bent over.

Xiao Lan's anxious and sorrowful expression was laid bare, adding a touch of poignant beauty to him.

Large tears, like beans, fell onto Gu Xiaoyue, transforming into iridescent black pearls!

"Good boy, don't cry—I'm fine—"

She tried to speak, her voice hoarse, pulling at her internal injuries, causing Gu Xiaoyue even more pain!

Not wanting to worry Xiao Lan further, she gritted her teeth and closed her mouth, preventing herself from crying out in pain.

Gu Xiaoyue's face, straining to endure everything, fell into Xiao Lan's eyes.

He leaned down, his slightly parted lips pressing against hers—
