Chapter 1889 - Holding Hands
1889 Holding Hands
It could be said that this was the most fearsome battle ever to take place in the history of the Douluo Continent other than the battle of the Gods. It was a grand nine-on-nine showdown that would determine the destiny of the entire continent.
Tang Wulin had a solemn expression. He was still pondering on the reason behind the Demon Empress agreeing to his terms so quickly.
Meanwhile, a soft little hand suddenly made its way into his palm. Its touch was as smooth as jade and soft as cotton. Its palm emitted warmth as it held his hand gently.
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment then he turned his head to the side to see Gu Yuena with her head raised looking at the sky as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yuena did not look at him, but her slightly flushed earlobes revealed her shyness. It was her first time displaying the extraordinary relationship between them with so many people present. Although everyone’s attention was fixed upon the situation in the sky at that moment and no one took notice of them, it was still an incomparably rare scene.
Waves of warmth surged into Tang Wulin’s heart, and all his uncertainty vanished completely.
For her, for his companions, for the entire Douluo Continent, for survival, for that moment and perhaps even the bright future that would come soon, and for the chance to look for his opportunity and explore the mysteries of the universe, he had to win this battle!
Regardless of how many schemes the Demon Empress had, what could she do when she was confronted by absolute power? As long as Tang Wulin had Gu Yuena by her side, he would march forward courageously no matter the obstacles!
He clenched his fist instinctively and grasped the jade-like hand tightly in his palm. Tang Wulin cracked into a faint smile, and by his side, Gu Yuena’s face also broke into the same smile. She had lost track of how long it had been since she smiled like that. She had finally expressed herself in this manner just when they were confronting these formidable enemies together!
At last, she could fight side by side with him in a perfectly justifiable manner!
She had already been waiting for the arrival of this moment for far too long.
In the sky, the eighteen powerhouses from both sides parted slowly and also maintained a certain distance from their own side. Given their ranks, every single one of these warriors had a massive amount of strength. As a result, their abilities would certainly produce a kind of reverberation during the fight.
There was no judge in this battle. Only life and death would decide the outcome!
The Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue raised his Skycrosser Divine Spear slowly and pointed it at the enemy’s side. He was standing opposite the old man. The old man squinted his eyes ever so slightly, and radiance could be seen flickering in his pupils. It was an extremely ghastly yellow light that put those who saw it into a trance-like state.
He abruptly waved his hand to send the numerous abyssal powerhouses around him charging forward almost simultaneously.
Light flickered in a pair of the Bee Monarch’s compound eyes. Streaks of ghastly cold light rays shot toward the War God Hall’s numerous powerhouses.
The rays were not like her disciple’s or granddisciple’s. They were blue light rays that were fine like drizzling raindrops. They traveled faster than the speed of sound, but no sonic boom was heard. In fact, these ghastly, cold light rays could not be seen unless one was paying close attention.
The nine participants from the War God Hall included the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue, the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian, War God One Vast Sun Douluo Ao Rui, War God Two Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu, War God Three Dark Emperor Douluo Luo Yuhang, War God Five Demon Guqin Douluo Mo Zihong, War God Seven Asiatic Apple Douluo Shi Mengshan, War God Eight Haughty Dragon Douluo Nan Gongyi and War God Thirteen God Sword Douluo Su Mengjun.
Meanwhile, the master control soul master, the Demon Guqin Douluo Mo Zihong, was already levitating in the air with his legs crossed. He remained slightly behind the rest with the Demon Guqin placed on his lap. His fingers plucked the strings to produce a melodious rhythm that burst forth like a knight in shining armor.
Every rhythm produced was extremely slow but with long, lingering tones. It sounded like a war drum was recently blared. Every strike made their blood boil vigorously and placed tremendous pressure on the opposing team.
On the other hand, an invisible soundwave was produced following the sound of Demon Guqin. The soundwave dashed past his companions and charged toward the swarm of fine, hair-like rays of blue light.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!” At once, there was a series of loud booming noises as the countless blue hairs exploded loudly in the sky. The force was even more violent than the firing of the soul cannons earlier. A massive energy wave rippled through the sky.
The blue vellus hairs were smaller than the Abyssal Bomb Bees, yet their explosive force was far superior. The Bee Monarch had not utilized such a fighting technique when she was battling against mankind’s legion earlier! This was when she truly revealed her ability as one of the ten great emperors.
Although Mo Zihong’s melody managed to detonate a portion of these hairs, the rest of the blue light rays seemed to be completely unaffected by the explosion. They were swarming toward the War God Hall’s numerous powerhouses at full speed. It was a multidirectional attack!
Meanwhile, the numerous abyssal powerhouses swiftly arrived after the blue light rays had been unleashed. They forestalled the opponents by displaying their strengths first!
At the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue’s side, the Vast Sun Douluo pointed to the sky with his right hand. A huge sun immediately began to glow above his head. He unleashed the Sunny Sky!
Countless fine, densely-arranged sparks shot out from the bright sun and scattered all over. The blazing wind was akin to a fuse that ignited a bomb. It detonated the thousands of blue light rays in the sky instantly.
All at once, the massive energy turbulence began wreaking havoc through the sky. The energy waves blasted out in all directions simultaneously, pushing the eighteen powerhouses on the battlefield apart.
The terrifying energy storm colored the sky with a blue-gold hue. The shocking scene seemed to cause most of Thule’s core area to tremble.
Tang Wulin looked at the Demon Empress opposite him with his eyes ablaze, and she was looking back at him. For some unknown reason, she felt an uncontrollable negative feeling surge through her heart when she saw Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena holding hands. It was jealousy!
Once upon a time, she snuggled her husband just like that! All her happiness was taken from her when she lost him to Tang San.
At the thought of this, a murderous bloodlust gripped the Demon Empress’ heart. She wished that she could immediately charge forward and kill Tang Wulin so she could avenge her husband.
Fortunately, her emotions were suppressed by medication at the moment. She had already returned to her normal self. In the past, perhaps she would have charged at him recklessly.
Although Tang Wulin was feeling rather anxious because of the Demon Empress’ swift agreement earlier, he could see that the abyssal passage was already closing up slowly below them, just like it had done after it was struck by the Eternal Heaven.
Under such circumstances, even if the abyssal creatures were to attempt to open up the passage, it would take time. If mankind’s side could gain the upper hand, they would have enough time for Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena to devour their abyssal energy.
At the very least, the Demon Empress had kept her promise up to that moment!
Meanwhile, slightly further behind Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, a pair of eyes were staring at them so furiously that it seemed like they would start spurting out fire.
The rest of the crowd were watching the battle in the sky closely, except for him. There was only one person in his eyes.
He watched Gu Yuena fight against the Spirit Monarch and finally kill him. Afterward, he felt excited for her from the bottom of his heart when she suppressed the numerous abyssal kings. He was even feeling very proud of her.
Nevertheless, intense jealousy arose in him when he witnessed Gu Yuena take the initiative to place her hand into Tang Wulin’s palm. It felt as if a wildfire was wreaking havoc in every part of his heart.
