My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife
Page 1588Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. “Qingfeng Li, my vital essence is of the fire element. I can transfuse some to you.”
Qingfeng Li turned his head. He found that it was Third Princess who had spoken. A hint of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
Seeming to notice Qingfeng Li’s questioning gaze, a smudge of red appeared on the Third Princess’s pretty cheeks. She seemed to be a bit flustered.
The Third Princess used to be brash and unfriendly toward Qingfeng Li. However, after Qingfeng Li straightened her up a few times, she became rather frightened of him.
This was especially true now that Qingfeng Li had become the alliance chief of the Eastern world of self-cultivation and reached the seventh level of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
In addition, Qingfeng Li was capable of challenging masters of higher realms. Rumors say that when the Western World of self cultivators had attacked the East, Qingfeng Li had defeated even the Sky God’s Avatar with ease. In the entire Eastern world of self-cultivation, Qingfeng Li was definitely the only one who could do so.
Even the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace had to treat Qingfeng Li with respect. The Third Princess naturally had to do so as well.
Before leaving with Qingfeng Li, the Third Princess had been repeatedly warned by her father to be sure to make nice with Qingfeng Li; under no circumstances was she to oppose him.
Qingfeng Li nodded, agreeing to let the Third Princess transfuse her vital essence.
Qingfeng Li knew that, right now, inside the Interspatial tunnel, he must recover his strength as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if the Interspatial tunnel was attacked again, their situation would become perilous.
The Third Princess was also aware of the urgency of the situation. Not daring to delay another instant, she rushed to Qingfeng Li’s side and reached out with her hand. She laid the hand on Qingfeng Li’s wrist, preparing to begin the transfusion.
Right then, there was a loud clunk as the spatial teleportation array was struck by another attack.
Having been thrown to the ground again, Qingfeng Li stared outside with his clairvoyance despite the pain in his body.
From out in the void, there came a beam of light. This was a beam of blade energy. Coming from the Sky Blade Planet, the beam slashed into the Interspatial tunnel, leaving a thin crack.
“Dammit,” Black Puppy said, his expression shifting. “Its the masters on the Sky Blade Planet. They’re attacking our teleportation array!”
Qingfeng Li’s face also grew grim. There was a hint of rage in his eyes.
He knew the Sky Blade Planet well, it was another top tier planet, just like Mars. It was a powerful celestial body.
Only, these were the enemies of Mars, so they were trying to disrupt their transportation array.
Having exhausted a large portion of his vital essence earlier, Qingfeng Li had almost no energy remaining. He could do nothing to defend against the powerful blade energy.
Luckily, the transportation array had its own defensive barrier, which had blocked the blade energy for him. Otherwise, the array would long since have been destroyed.
Even so, the people in the array were thrown every which way. Not one of them managed to remain standing, and they all fell heavily to the ground.
Qingfeng Li watched Xue Lin slam to the ground not far from him. Her forehead hit the tunnel’s barrier and a small stream of blood flowed down her face. He felt his chest seize up in heartache.
“Honey, are you alright?” he shouted out to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin shook her head. “I’m alright, Honey. Take care of yourself.”
Far away on the Sky Blade Planet, waves of blade energy continued to fly forth. Like a meteor shower, they cut through the void and instantly crashed upon the Interspatial tunnel. They left a web of cracks on the array’s protective barrier. It could shatter at any moment.
Qingfeng Li’s heart was heavy with worry. “Puppy,” he spoke. “What do we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?”
Black Puppy shook its head. “Qingfeng Li,” it gave a bitter smile and said, “The master who is attacking our Interspatial tunnel is possibly of Spirit Monarch Realm. With just our power, there is nothing we can do. Once the Interspatial tunnel collapses, we will all be buried in the cosmic turbulence.
Qingfeng Li felt his heart sink. He thought that Black Puppy would have a solution to their predicament. But now, it looked like even Black Puppy was out of ideas. After all, Black Puppy had only awakened ten percent of the power of its bloodline. It was still very weak.
Qingfeng Li then went to converse with Dark Night Emperor and the Fire Dragon’s Soul. He hoped that these two would be able to provide answers to his problems.
But Dark Night Emperor’s response was that he didn’t have a good solution either.
He was currently just a fragmented soul, and he could not even appear in the Interspatial tunnel. The moment he did, he would be torn to shreds by the spatial turbulence. This was not a safe place for souls.
Qingfeng Li was left only with the option of praying. He prayed to the Gods of the Universe, hoping they could protect him and allow him to arrive at the top tier extraterrestrial planet, Venus, safely.
Crack, crack, crack…
The barrier around the interspatial tunnel continued to crackle. Like a spider web, the cracks spread outward. They appeared one after the other, one, then two, then three and four…
Countless black cracks radiated outward in all directions. The barrier was about to break.
So long as their bodies were separated, they were placed into different positions in the Interspatial tunnel. So they were left with nothing to do but to stare at one another, all of them: Qingfeng Li, Xue Lin, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess.
Hearing Black Puppy’s cry, Qingfeng Li’s eyes, too, lit up. He hurriedly looked ahead.
And just at the Puppy said, up ahead there was a massive planet. It was truly immense, more than a hundred times the size of Earth.
And on its surface, there burned a red light. Whereas the Earth was a crystal blue, this planet was crimson. Even the atmosphere was red; the whole planet was like a burning red sun.
Despite being far away, Qingfeng Li still felt a wave of searing heat.
“Hold on, hold on, we’ll be safe once we reach Mars.” Qingfeng Li’s felt his heart lift back up as he muttered repeatedly to himself.
But things rarely went as one wishes. Contrary to what Qingfeng Li had hoped, just as they were about to reach the atmosphere of Mars, the interspatial tunnel was struck by another blow from the master on the Sky Blade Planet.
This final blow was extremely powerful. The blade energy, spanning a full ten thousand square kilometers, cleaved upon the Interspatial tunnel with monstrous force. The blow severed the tunnel into two halves.
Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and the Sky-Devouring Snake were in the first half.
Xue Lin, the Eastern Sea Prince, the Third Princess, the Fate Elder, and Qixuan Zhenren were in the later half.
