599 The Return of the King (1/2)
What was happening?
Fang Zhengzhi fixated his eyes onto King Xieluo's body, unable to contain his surprise.
He knew that King Xieluo would never let him go mercifully. And given the fact that Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu were both being attacked, they would never be able to rush over immediately.
Or...
Even if they were to rush over, it was impossible for them to suppress King Xieluo in his tracks. King Xieluo looked like he had been pulled back, and restrained from moving any further.
As he was thinking about all these, there seemed to saw a shadow standing behind King Xieluo. Raindrops pelted on her body, and the helm of her black dress danced in the sky.
There was a ring of glow on her neck, the ray of light not bigger than a fist, but it was bright and shiny.
That was a pendant.
A tear shaped pendant.
However, the pendant was cracked, little spots of light came shining out from it, circling around the pendant, forming a ring of light.
”Ping…...Ping Yang?!” Fang Zhengzhi could not believe that it was actually Ping Yang who restrained King Xieluo. Of course, he could not believe that Ping Yang was still alive.
”It's the Princess, your highness!”
”Princess is not dead yet?!”
”She's still alive!”
The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry stood afar, staring with their eyes wide open. It was dark in the night, but the ring of light made them recognise the figure standing up there.
The red dress was drenched completely in blood.
Other than the long dress, blood was also flowing out from Ping Yang's mouth, dripping down slowly, trickling down from the end of her mouth, on the neck where the light was, and then, it disappeared.
”Mother…...Mother has always been by my side, she never left me!” Ping Yang glanced at him, her crystal clear eyes had lost their brightness as they started to brim with the breath of death.
She did not close her eyes, but watched King Xieluo and Fang Zhengzhi quietly, mumbling something under her breath.
”Not dead?!” King Xieluo turned his head around, his eyes still bleeding profusely, expression filled with frustration, anger and pain.
He turned and saw Ping Yang standing behind him.
Then…..
He opened his eyes forcefully.
While this caused more blood to drip out from his eyes, he paid no attention to it, he focused intently on the light around Ping Yang's neck.
”Mother, she's really here with me, she is looking at me. You shameless brat, mother did not leave me alone, she did not...” Ping Yang could not care less about the death stare from King Xieluo as she continued rambling, her pair of clear eyes still looking as soulless as ever.
”Ping Yang, please leave!” Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what was happening to Ping Yang, but he knew that Ping Yang had to escape since she was still alive.
”You're shameless, I can see mother, I can really see her...” Ping Yang did not heed Fang Zhengzhi's advice and continued rambling on.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back before anything came out from his mouth.
Because at this moment, King Xieluo already made his move, his blue nail claws started lunging towards Ping Yang.
There was no warning at all.
”NO!” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stop it.
But King Xieluo was too swift, and given that Ping Yang had been standing behind him all along, he had no way to prevent King Xieluo from sneaking that attack.
”Boom!” King Xieluo's pointy claws did not land on Ping Yang's body. Instead, the claws clashed with the light shimmering around her neck.
Momentarily…..
The strangest phenomena happened.
Ping Yang was not blown off her feet by King Xieluo's claw. In fact, her body did not budge at all, but King Xieluo seemed to have triggered something really horrific.
He was quivering all over, and suddenly he was pushed back immediately. Multiple golden rays of light began shining, as he let out a painful cry.
”This...”
”How is that possible? What is that thing?!”
”King Xieluo, being attacked?”
Countless soldiers form the Northern Barbarians Army witnessed the scene in front of them. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.
The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry had the same thought, nobody was able to comprehend the situation.
Even Yan Qianli, who was rushing up,` stopped immediately.
”Princess, your highness?” Yan Qianli looked closely at Ping Yang over the horizon, as well as the light ray hanging on her neck.
Just at this moment...
The ring light exploded, and the small spots that surrounded the ring dispersed around itself, creating small stars.
”Mother!” Ping Yang shouted out urgently, her eyes looked panicky, while her hands attempted to catch on the light spots, desperately piecing the spots back.
”Ping Yang!” Fang Zhengzhi charged forward, but before he could do that, he felt a terribly strong force hurling towards him.
Then...
His chest felt very heavy.
He coughed out a whole mouth of blood, sending them splashing onto the light ray.
Just then, the flying bright spots stopped suddenly. It seemed like time had stopped ticking in the air.
Heavy rain poured down from above, passing through the lights, and landing on the ground. It started forming puddles of water on the ground, while the drops of blood on the floor began flowing like a small river.
”Weng!” A loud sound shook the whole earth.
The lights started moving again, only this time round, it did not continue to spread out. Instead, it gathered back again, surging back towards Ping Yang's body.
The little spots of light shone on her body, her white crystal jade skin glowing, just like the stars shining brightly and elegantly.
It had lit up the whole night sky.
The lights gathered around Ping Yang, and she resembled a fairy from the sky, holy and noble.
”What is that?”
”What is happening to Princess's body?”
”Why does the light seem so strange?”
The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry were discussing how the light covering on Ping Yang's body looked really spectacular, it almost seemed like there was a life attached to it.
Not only that...
The lights wrapping around Ping Yang's body were shining in a sequential order, and they orbited around her body in an extraordinary fashion.
