Chapter 516 - 268: Torrential Sword Realm (Part 3)
She revealed an inexplicable confusion, puzzlement, but the strength of Li Ang’s hand grew increasingly heavy.
The sturdy bindings of the Six Paths Slow Technique left her unable to resist, as her vitality slowly drained away in Li Ang’s grasp.
"I am not... I don’t know... I understand now... You are... She is..."
Meimei’s eyes could only open into narrow slits with extreme difficulty. A sudden realization appeared on her face, followed by a profound sense of relief.
"Al-right... just like this... it’s fine... with her still here..."
It seemed as though she suddenly relinquished something; her struggling body ceased to resist.
Li Ang gritted his teeth tightly, as everything on Mengze Island, everything in the past, flashed before his eyes.
The suddenly appearing white-haired, blue-eyed girl, the strange reminders, the innocence of a junior, inexplicable pessimism, unprovoked enticement, chaotic words, and the sudden assassin.
The former compassionate assistance, inexplicably reliant upon him, the gradually approaching minds, the absurd life and warm embrace, thought they could make it to the end, but suddenly departed without a goodbye.
Which of these things were real, which were false? Was it all a disguise? What was the point?
Even if it was all fake, was her purpose simply to kill me? What kind of person am I then? What is the meaning of this?
Under Li Ang’s continued pressure, Meimei’s final breath completely stagnated, her body shuddered, and something trickled down by her feet.
Li Ang heaved a sigh of relief and released his grip.
The girl’s head hung limply, her slender young neck a patch of bruised red. If not for the chains holding her, she might have slumped onto the ground like a pile of mud.
He still couldn’t bring himself to snuff out her life force completely.
However, moments after releasing his hand, her bruises began healing rapidly, her bodily functions recovering quickly.
Meimei immediately returned to a lively state, her eyes opened wide, staring intently at Li Ang.
This was the Vitality Power contained within the Water Element, often used by professions like mages and witch doctors for casting Healing Spells. This person was exceptionally gifted, healing naturally even through water.
"What’s the matter? Not going to kill me?"
Meimei’s voice carried a slight tremor: "Such weakness, someone like you, if facing cruel and ruthless adversaries like Demons and the Empire, would probably be killed hundreds of times over."
Has Meluna fought against Demons and the Empire?
Li Ang couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t aligning; when he first met her, shouldn’t these matters have been significant secrets? On the contrary, later on, these threats might appear more frequently.
"What do those murmurs of yours really mean?" Li Ang frowned as he pinched Meimei’s face, exerting some force, causing her face to contort in pain.
Faced with his questioning, Meimei merely provoked, refusing to provide answers.
"Truly in need of a lesson."
Li Ang flipped up her hem.
Meimei was shocked: "You, you, what are you doing?"
"Weren’t you trying to seduce me? Why so afraid now?"
"I- that was to test you—ah!"
Even with her body having changed, weak points remained weak points. In the past, when he touched, his heart was filled with warmth, but certain spots could still render her utterly helpless.
"How do you even know that?! No, stop it!"
With a few actions, Meimei was thrown into a state of being unable to escape life or death,
From screams to pleading, she ended up like a ravaged young beast howling in despair.
After catching a breath, Li Ang delivered a harsh slap,
In-between, Li Ang didn’t even want to ask about anything anymore; it was as if he was venting the frustrations and confusion over Meluna all this time, acting heedlessly, after all, aren’t you capable of healing? Not afraid of breaking completely.
Who knows how long passed, in the entire domain only the cries of a completely shattered Domain Master could be heard, the Water Attribute Power emanating beyond the domain finally brought him to senses.
Who was coming? Did Farina call for Otto?
Beyond the domain, only Otto could exhibit such a powerful Power of Water.
Li Ang quickly gathered the unconscious Meimei, overcome with rage for a moment, but in the eyes of others, this scene could easily spark trouble.
Just as everything was nearly sorted, due to the Domain Master losing consciousness, the domain’s barrier was easily broken, the grassland where Li Ang stood, and the surrounding forest, returned to the material dimension in an instant.
The first thing he saw was Farina, with her striking fiery red hair, then he saw the person beside her.
The next moment, Li Ang’s entire body froze, as if turned into stone.
The girl standing next to Farina sheathed her sword slowly, her once jet-black hair that Li Ang had helped manage leaving now disheveled like that of a vagabond, hair ties and pins altogether missing, merely bound into a simple ponytail with hemp rope, numerous unruly strands drooping onto her cheeks.
The clothes were even more riddled with tears and grime, as if she had just emerged from the Ancient Battleground of the Demon Disaster Realm.
If it weren’t for that enchanting face and the inwardly glowing scabbard at her waist, one would assume she was a beggar at first glance.
But this was indeed the genuine peculiar female Sword Hero, Meluna.
