Chapter 8: 第108章 龙与凤

The rain grew heavier and heavier! It poured down like a torrential flood, a ferocious beast! Thunder roared deafeningly! Lightning tore through the firmament, instantly illuminating the entire Cloud-Turning Continent!

The atmosphere was indescribably terrifying; it felt as if everything in the surroundings had held its breath!

Qin Hanxue met his gaze with cold eyes, filled with doubt and complexity, but Chen Qimo revealed only one word—Kill!

After a moment, Chen Qimo channeled his energy with one hand. His crimson eyes shot out a dazzling, fiery light, looking as if he were about to devour Qin Hanxue alive!

A beam of red light synchronized with a bolt of lightning, brightening all things in heaven and earth for a single instant! Carrying residual flames, it charged straight toward Qin Hanxue!—

Reflected in Qin Hanxue's eyes was the fiery red light. She leaped into the air, and the ice and snow suddenly swirled violently! It expanded several times over in an instant, forming an air current shield in the atmosphere that deflected the red light back!

In her white dress and blue shirt, Qin Hanxue was drenched by the rain. Her cold eyes were exceptionally bright, as if coated in a layer of frost, reflecting thousands of rays of light!

She believed that the man before her was not the Chen Qimo she knew, because he would not hurt her.

Chen Qimo was like a predator in the dark night, with raging flames shooting from his eyes—

The Fire寇 (Fire寇) hovered before him, spinning incessantly. The firelight was extraordinarily bright; a giant dragon coiled around the blade, growing larger and larger, until finally, it surged from the Fire寇 straight into the clouds! A massive roar echoed through the sky! The fire dragon circled within the dark clouds, churning the cloud layers like rolling giant waves!

Chen Qimo's eyes suddenly flashed, and the fire dragon dove rapidly downward, attacking toward Qin Hanxue's heart—

Suddenly, a dark purple flood dragon lunged out. Accompanied by a great roar, it churned up the rainwater to block the fire dragon's assault, though its body was heavily wounded by the fire dragon! The two dragons became entangled, flying toward the clouds!

"Feng Qianqing?!" Qin Hanxue looked up to see Feng Qianqing with furrowed brows, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood—

Forcing back the surge of blood, he looked down at Qin Hanxue. Seeing she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief...

The two dragons fought, coiling across the sky!

Chen Qimo glared at the newcomer. "Perfect, the Red Clothing Palace deserves to die as well!—"

Chen Qimo had already mobilized his airflow. A hundred miles of red light rolled forth, and his bloodthirsty eyes suddenly turned toward Qin Hanxue. The Qin family must die!!

The airflow in his hand was somehow several steps faster than Feng Qianqing's; the blood-red light pierced straight through Qin Hanxue's heart!!!!

"Pfft—" The mist of blood was hidden by the rain, yet it stained the rainwater beneath her feet red...

Feng Qianqing had not expected Chen Qimo to suddenly change his target. He looked at Qin Hanxue in astonishment, a pang of pain striking his heart... "...What is wrong with me..."

The Fire寇 took the opportunity to strike directly at Feng Qianqing. Feng Qianqing snapped back to his senses, his dark blade shrouded in black mist, meeting the Fire寇 head-on!

But how could today's Fire寇 be compared to the ordinary?

The two waves of light clashed, and the dark blade was forced back step by step!

Qin Hanxue propped herself up on the ground, her gaze as piercing as a torch...

For the first time, those cold eyes brimmed with tears...

"Once the money is received, that little girl belongs to us. Have you thought it through?" It was the Boss's voice.

"I've thought it through! From now on, she has nothing to do with us. Do whatever you want with her, as long as... as long as you give the money..." The middle-aged man spoke with difficulty, yet he offered a fawning, smirking smile.

"Hahaha—" The Boss waved his hand. "Give it to him."

He picked up a female infant who had just turned one year old. "Tsk tsk, look at this. These are her parents, how heartless! They sold you just for money! Hahaha—"

The middle-aged man and woman laughed as they took the silver box. They counted the money, turned around, and left, without a single moment of lingering attachment...

After walking for a while...

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

Gunshots echoed through the forest, and the couple fell into a pool of blood... The banknotes were scattered all over the ground, exceptionally eye-catching.

"Boss, it's handled."

"Mm, let's go."

"This little girl doesn't have a code name yet. Boss, why don't you give her one?"

The Boss checked his watch. "Her father and mother only kept the money for nine seconds. Heh! Call her 'Nine Seconds.' I want her to remember this hatred forever!"

*

She still remembered this past event that the Boss had told her before she died in her previous life. Although she hated her parents, hated them, they also died at the hands of that person. She had not yet taken her revenge; how could she die so easily?

Everyone who had deceived her, she would kill with her own hands!!!

She wanted to go back! To go back!!

"Ah————"

Gales rose! Clouds tumbled! Heavy rain poured! Thunder roared and lightning flashed! The corners of her clothes fluttered! The ice and snow swirled rapidly, that massive vortex acting like a black hole! It surged toward the heavens and the earth!

Qin Hanxue suddenly leaped into the air!

Her toes touched the swirling ice and snow. The heavy rain drenched her flying black hair, and her robes rose with the wind! The airflow reached for ten miles!

Both Chen Qimo and Feng Qianqing were involuntarily shaken by the surge of air!

It was as if time had stood still!

After a moment, the woman in white suddenly opened her eyes! A blue light flashed, and a chilling aura surged! Looking closer, behind the woman, an ice-blue phoenix let out a long cry and flew into the clouds!!
