NFBE Chapter 490 Sorry, she doesn't want to.
Chapter 490 Sorry, she doesn't want to.
Upon hearing Gu Yun's explanation, Huang Xiaoyu gently lowered the long sword in her hand.
As someone she and her brother intended to win over, Gu Yun could influence Huang Xiaoyu's thoughts to some extent, and her recent actions also proved that Gu Yun was indeed valuable.
Huang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, exhaled softly, calmed herself down, and prepared to listen to Gu Yun's reasons.
"what is the problem?"
Huang Xiaoyu believed that her knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary demons, and that she was at a level that demons like Gu Yun, who came from a weak race, could not reach. Perhaps if Gu Yun asked, she could give him a reply.
Gu Yun smiled gently.
"Um...it's a personal secret, I can't tell you."
Power: Assimilation is Gu Yun's trump card, and he would never reveal it to Huang Xiaoyu.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt and displeasure flashing in his eyes.
What do you want to study about her?
"No comment."
"how long it takes."
"No... um... I'll figure it out eventually."
"How long will it take to figure it out?"
Huang Xiaoyu's voice rose slightly, clearly showing some impatience.
"do not know."
Gu Yun's answer still lacked any substantial content.
Huang Xiaoyu's patience finally ran out, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
at this time.
The air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
"Qiang——!"
The sudden sound of a longsword clashing with a blade broke the silence.
Gu Yun and Huang Xiaoyu, who were still in a standoff, suddenly turned on each other.
Strictly speaking, it was Huang Xiaoyu who launched the attack, and Gu Yun simply counterattacked.
"Are you kidding me?"
Huang Xiaoyu's gaze toward Gu Yun was icy cold, conveying her barely suppressed anger in a warning tone.
"I wouldn't dare, I'm just telling the truth."
The deathly aura spread rapidly from Gu Yun's blade, like an invisible monster opening its huge mouth and biting into Huang Xiaoyu's longsword, causing the sword to tremble slightly and even emit a mournful cry like a living creature.
After noticing the anomaly, Huang Xiaoyu did not hesitate and decisively slashed down. Then, she distanced herself from Gu Yun, mobilized the power of the metal element, and poured all her strength into the [Sharpness] property, which finally eliminated the abnormality of the longsword.
"Strange power, evil and crooked methods."
Gu Yun raised an eyebrow, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
"So, Your Highness is the kind of person who categorizes any power beyond your comprehension as something heretical or evil?"
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Even the movement of the air felt like an undercurrent.
Huang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Give me the second-class trait she possesses, and we'll call it quits for today."
For a princess like her, this was clearly a major concession.
Gu Yun understood this as well.
then.
Gu Yun glanced back at Yue, who was clutching the special spiritual treasure tightly in her hand.
At this moment, Yue was shaking her head vigorously.
Clearly, they were unwilling to hand over the second-grade special spiritual treasure they were holding tightly in their hands.
The look in Gu Yun's eyes, so helpless and like a camel about to be crushed by a straw, made him silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry, she doesn't want to."
finally.
Gu Yun gave this answer.
He didn't know if his answer was right or wrong, nor did he know how his answer would affect his future.
He just knows.
If he helps Huang Xiaoyu take away the spiritual treasure from Yue, it will make him feel increasingly alienated from himself.
From a purely pragmatic perspective, helping Huang Xiaoyu would benefit both sides, but that's only true for a world where only Yue is injured.
Gu Yun always felt that if she took this path, she would lose even more. What difference would there be between being too rational and being a machine?
The voice just fell.
The temperature around us plummeted, and a suffocating chill swept over us.
The soul essence within Huang Xiaoyu's body began to stir restlessly, and he spoke in a low, cold voice.
"It seems you're determined to oppose me."
"I shouldn't have had any expectations of a low-level demon like you."
"My brother was blind too. There's definitely a reason why low-level demons are low-level demons."
Gu Yun shrugged, and the Yin-Yang Wheel of Life and Death behind him accelerated its rotation, with countless strands of death energy beginning to entwine around the blade, ready to strike.
"Although it's a bit unreasonable, her reason for rejecting you isn't entirely because she's unwilling."
"But... that condescending attitude and the accompanying ice element..."
"It makes me feel..."
“It’s a bit disgusting.”
My PTSD has flared up. Sorry, there's no room for negotiation.
The voice just fell.
Gu Yun's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a black lightning bolt.
The next moment, it approached Huang Xiaoyu, carrying a terrifying wind-breaking blade pressure, and pressed close to Huang Xiaoyu's neck.
This erupted in an instant without any warning.
Huang Xiaoyu's pupils contracted.
But it also made the moon's eyes sparkle with starlight.
Not the dazzling starlight.
Instead, it is the dazzling starlight that tears through the endless darkness!
Under this bleak fate of being used and then discarded.
This moment.
For the first time, Yue truly experienced what it felt like to be cared for.
Her eyes were a little moist.
In a trance.
She seemed to have found the most meaningful way to end her life.
Unfortunately, Huang Xiaoyu was no ordinary demon general.
How could someone born into royalty and at the peak of the Demon General realm be so easily caught off guard?
"Power: Supreme Golden Body".
Crimson covered the skin, with golden veins showing through.
In an instant, Huang Xiaoyu's aura was raised to a whole new level, and his physical strength was also infinitely close to the limit of a demon general.
Since Gu Yun has made his move and chosen close combat, then she will follow suit.
The Supreme Demon Clan.
They fear no demons, near or far.
The power of the gold element covered the longsword.
Its "Sharp Edge" characteristic is unmistakable.
Huang Xiaoyu slightly tilted her sword, and the longsword instantly sliced through the air like a blue lightning bolt, striking back at Gu Yun's blade.
"Qiang——!"
The clash between "sharpness" and "silence" creates a chilling sound of battle.
A burst of sparks erupted from where the blades met, dazzling against the clear blue sky.
Huang Xiaoyu knew she couldn't engage in a prolonged battle with Gu Yun, otherwise his strange characteristics would cause her [Sharpness] to be gradually defeated. She had to suppress him instantly.
With a slight twist of his wrist, the longsword drew a perfect deep blue arc in the air.
This was the first time Gu Yun had faced a demon wielding the Supreme Golden Body, whose power was comparable to his own. He was forced to retreat three steps under Huang Xiaoyu's sword strikes.
Huang Xiaoyu seized the opportunity.
The power of the ice element is stacked and manifested.
Enhanced by the [Frozen] trait!
The trajectory of that deep blue arc instantly solidified into countless frost feathers that poured forth.
A whisper followed.
"Frost Feather Sword Technique".
Gu Yun narrowed his eyes.
As Gu Yun watched the icy feathers grow larger in his eyes, he felt for a moment as if a giant hand was grabbing his entire body.
But it was only for a moment.
As the purple light of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will 'Eternity' shone forth, the feeling of being bound vanished.
Even though he had the option to take the blow head-on, Gu Yun chose to dodge, not just because of the number of blows, but also because it was different from the slash that the desperate female demon had delivered before.
Each of Huang Xiaoyu's sword strikes carried an unstoppable sharpness, not from superior swordsmanship or some kind of will, but simply from the pressure that naturally arises from extreme sharpness.
If the other party follows the elemental rules, it is not difficult to guess that it is a characteristic extracted from a certain element.
These frost feathers also possess this characteristic.
Don't even think about trying to resist something that hasn't even reached its limit.
