Red Heart Patrols the Sky

In the vast Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, Jiang Wangfei comes and goes freely, only using the means arranged by the Ancient Imperial City’s God Enthronement Platform as his protective armor, a barrier against inquiries.

Lu Qilang gathered momentum to a high place but lost his opponent. In the sea of clouds, he turned like a swallow, pursuing again, vast as a rushing flood!

His voice echoed in the sword sound: "I see you as a hero under heaven, yet you don’t dare to face my long blade? You visit the Monster Realm as representatives of the Human Race, if you act cowardly, why not die a glorious death!?"

Of course, these words were merely to provoke a fight.

Heroes generally may not fear death, but it’s hard not to care about honor. Provoking verbally might have unexpected effects... anyway, opening one’s mouth isn’t a loss.

Lu Qilang cursed fiercely with his mouth, yet deep down he had some admiration.

One man’s courage is not dependable; true might lies in perseverance.

The broader one’s perspective, the clearer Jiang Wang’s difficult situation becomes.

In such a desperate situation, drawing a sword to die is the easiest thing, just clenching teeth, hardening the heart, and charging forward.

Yet, he repeatedly creates opportunities, kills Yang Yu, targets the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar, kills Shujia Lan... if not for his timely rescue, Lingxihua would have perished!

Now with the God Enthronement Platform summoning, Heavenly Demons descending, this person is still struggling.

The rest aside, with such unyielding will, who wouldn’t succeed?

It’s unfortunate he came to the Monster Realm... such is the time and fate.

Never mind Lu Qilang’s lament in his heart.

That sword light was like a rushing flood, the shouts like the beating of drums.

Jiang Wang plummeted directly, heedless to the noise.

What glorious death of heroes under heaven, push back a few years to when he was in Fenglin City, he might have taken those words to heart, gotten angry, and turned back. But now, as Marquis Jiang, he’s battled countless times, what kind of formation hasn’t he seen? What rhetoric hasn’t he heard?

It would be better to say he lost a few Prime Stones! Perhaps the Marquis might turn back to retrieve them.

As he reached the edge of the cloud sea again, Jiang Wang did not rush out immediately, but first invoked the Sword Immortal, slicing out a blazing city to open the way!

If anyone claims precise prediction and wants to block the path, they must first face the Flame Flower Burning City.

Zhu Lanruo was not there.

She wasn’t blocking ahead, nor in sight.

Such opponents’ movements indeed should be watched, but Jiang Wang only glanced briefly, finding nothing and thus ceased.

At this moment, he cannot be swayed by any opponent’s rhythm, even delaying slightly here won’t do, for two True Monsters from the God Enthronement Platform have appeared, about to descend!

Thus he stepped forward.

Previously he fell with the Flame Flower Burning City, now he stepped alone into the Flame City!

At this time, Zhu Lanruo hid somewhere unknown, he used Flame City to conceal himself. Though he was in plain sight, he remained hidden, still had potential strategies of concealment.

And Flame City itself advanced, integrating offense and defense.

But behold—sword silk like snow not fully fallen, green robe draped by frost treading Flame City.

At this moment, Jiang Wang truly resembled the Divine King descending, with Flame City at his feet, majestic beyond compare.

The snowy and fiery colors were brought by him, staining half the sky, heading straight towards Lingxihua who paused for rest on the mountain path!

Lingxihua: ?

You don’t turn back to fight desperately with Lu Qilang, you don’t guard against Zhu Lanruo, you don’t hurry to escape, you come for me again? Are we acquainted or what? Think my Spirit Clan is easily bullied!?

But now he had to admit, in his current state, he indeed was the soft target.

All resentment buried deep, Lingxihua didn’t say a word, twisted like a startled bolt of lightning, heading far away.

Since you wish to pass this way, so be it.

With True Monsters about to descend, how far can you escape?

As for himself, when there’s life, there’s hope, better to leave green hills unscathed.

But what Lingxihua nearly couldn’t bear was... that blazing majestic city turned, still chasing him!

He really couldn’t comprehend.

That damn bald thief! The path opened yet you won’t walk!

Must drag someone down in death too?

Why me?

Having cursed the lineage of Mount Sumeru countless times in his heart, all he could do was grit his teeth and continue fleeing down the mountain.

Jiang Wang certainly didn’t harbor such great resentment towards Lingxihua, nor did he have any unavoidable vendetta.

It’s just the persistent threat of Zhu Lanruo obliged him to respond.

If Lingxihua could calm down from his panic and carefully consider the battle situation, he’d realize Zhu Lanruo’s choice to hide was incredibly tactical, ingenious and endless.

Compared to any visible attack or intercept, it’s more troubling for Jiang Wang.

The world is vast and the road ahead is clear, but which direction does Jiang Wang dare to escape?

As long as he can’t find traces of Zhu Lanruo’s hiding, he won’t dare to flee recklessly.

Yet Lu Qilang pursued closely behind, and two True Monsters were about to act, leaving him no time to pause and hesitate.

Under such circumstances, mistakes are easy to make, and any error could be magnified infinitely by opponents like Zhu Lanruo, ultimately leading to fatal consequences.

Zhu Lanruo needs only to hide to exert immense pressure on Jiang Wang!

Only by understanding Zhu Lanruo’s tactical wisdom can one comprehend Jiang Wang’s choice.

Compared to Lingxihua, who remains at the mountain path, witnessing Zhu Lanruo’s concealment yet still confused by the situation, Jiang Wang saw the situation clearly as he exited the cloud sea, Flame Flower Burning City falling short, and made immediate countermeasures.

Indeed, he must face Zhu Lanruo’s pressure, and indeed he cannot see where Zhu Lanruo hides.

But one thing is clear—

Zhu Lanruo would never hide beside Lingxihua.

Say no more, Lingxihua himself wounded gravely wouldn’t permit it.
