Chapter 319: A Grey Week

Everyone stared blankly at the figure in the sky, where a raging gale transformed into an endless vortex around her, clashing with that terrifying, multicolored giant sword.

In the next instant, between heaven and earth, nothing remained but a blinding, resplendent radiance. A turbulent spiritual light swept through the world, glaring so intensely that it forced eyes to shut.

Amidst a deafening crash that seemed to rip open the heavens and cleave the earth, even that unstoppable sword, the Executing Immortal, was sent flying backward.

Upon Fullness Peak, the mountain shuddered violently, and the entire mass began to crack open from within, as if a doomsday calamity were about to descend.

"She blocked it?!" Everyone's eyes stared blankly at the sky, filled with utter disbelief.

She had actually blocked it?!

The power of the Executing Immortal Sword Array was fearsome beyond measure.

The Devotion Curse was even more horrifying, leaving emotions at this moment far beyond the reach of words.

And it was only now that everyone finally understood why such an utterly evil and venomous curse was called the Devotion Curse.

In this world, perhaps only a person of such ultimate devotion would not hesitate to cast such a poignant, blood-drenched curse, even at the cost of plunging themselves eternally into hell.

Watching that beautiful, tragic green figure in midair fall limply like a tattered rag in the wind, everyone suddenly felt a violent tug at their heartstrings.

Their hearts twisted like knives.

"How could it be like this?! Waaah..." Jiang Xiaoyuan, who had been in an excellent mood after earning quite a bit of pocket money from playing Legend, suddenly felt her nose tingle and burst into tears, "Xiaofan finally found someone who treats him so well, how could this happen!"

"Waaah... Biyao, please don't die...!" Over by Mo Xian's side, a group of Nanhua Faction disciples had already dissolved into tears.

"..." The youths from Lingyun Academy still found their minds an absolute blank at this moment, as if a piece of their souls had been torn away.

"Master... Xiaofan and Biyao are both so pitiful..." Fenghua and Yuexin sobbed, using the corners of their sleeves to wipe away the tear stains at the corners of their eyes while speaking indistinctly.

"The affairs of the world are impermanent, always leaving people with so much helplessness..." As the sect master, Xue Daolv could understand Dao Xuan's actions by putting himself in his shoes, but from the perspective of a spectator, he could not help but let out a long sigh, lamenting in vain.

"..."

In the present world, mortals were all blinded by gain and desire, knowing only to pursue profit. In this muddy, turbulent world, who would be willing to abandon themselves, exchanging their own eternal damnation in hell for another's chance at life?

For cultivators, they were far too rational; they would never do anything that would bring centuries of cultivation to ruin, and the higher their cultivation, the more this held true.

Were it them, were it anyone present, it would be impossible to achieve, or even to imagine, which was why there had been assertions that no one could possibly cast the Devotion Curse.

Precisely because they themselves could not do it, this scene became all the more shocking.

Lamenting his youthful ignorance, lamenting her deep devotion, lamenting how deeply this scene struck the human heart.

Most of the profound cultivators here had spent the best years of their wild and frivolous youth amidst endless cultivation and an infinite cycle of slaughter; thus, this was a beauty they could never obtain in all their lives, and a sorrow they could never encounter in all their lives.

Everyone was filled with dejection, watching Xiaofan's roaring fury before them, as if heaven and earth had collapsed!

After finishing this segment, everyone remained speechless for a long time.

No one knew how much time passed.

"Where is the boss?!" Su Tianji suddenly looked around with cold eyes, as if searching the surroundings for a handy blade.

"Boss, get out here!" Dong Qingli, Shen Qingqing, and the rest of the story-driven faction already had eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Most importantly... what about the next episode?!

Can Biyao be saved, what happened to Xiaofan, at least give us a word!!

Liu Ningyun felt she had never been so driven to madness.

As the city lord of Black Dragon City, Huangfu Tao had never encountered such a frustrating situation, feeling as though he had fallen into a bottomless pit from which he could never escape!

Most importantly, at this moment, there was still a batch of newcomers like True Immortal Xi Chi rushing into this massive pit one after another!

"Boss, can't you update a few more episodes a day?!" Even Mo Tianxing and his peers were losing their composure at this point, to say nothing of the fat old man Yu Cangshan and the others beside him, who were driven to distraction, "It's worrying this old man to death!"

"Kid Fang, get out here!" Clearly, Boss Fang had anticipated this and slipped away early. Since no one could be seen at this moment, everyone had nowhere to vent their murderous intent, scanning the surroundings with ferocious looks; if Boss Fang were hiding underground right now, they would probably dig three feet deep to unearth him.

As a man like Boss Fang, he had naturally been clever enough to exit the virtual reality long ago. Taking off the virtual headset, he leaned back comfortably in his computer chair, watching the crowd searching for him everywhere on the screen, and took a blissful sip of Cola: "Come and beat me through the network cables if you have the ability."

The surrounding air suddenly grew gloomy, carrying the heavy omen of an impending mountain storm.

Boss Fang looked around in bewilderment.

He saw Liu Ningyun already standing behind him, her phoenix eyes filled with frost!

Huangfu Tao's expression was even deeper!

Ruan Ning and several other girls looked as if they had lost their parents, their eyes completely bloodshot as they gnashed their teeth at Fang Qi.

"What do you all want to do?!" Boss Fang suddenly realized something was amiss and said solemnly, "This boss warns you, causing physical harm to the boss is strictly forbidden, otherwise it will all be handled as inciting trouble!"

"So infuriating!" Ruan Ning and the others were practically exploding with rage.

Just then, the Penguin communication rang.

Chu Xue: "Tickle him, that definitely won't be treated as inciting trouble, and add our share of tickles while you're at it!"

Presented by the little companions of the Great Jin Kingdom!

The next instant...

"Hahahahaha... are you guys freaking crazy... hahahaha... if you keep this up I'm kicking people out...!"

...

Ultimately, under the severe suppression of Boss Fang using his own administrative privileges, Nalan Mingxue, who took the lead in causing trouble and commanded from a cross-regional ultra-long distance, was first banned from the internet for three days and deprived of snacks for a week!

Everyone involved in the matter was also banned from the internet on the spot for one day!

This finally let everyone know the power of Boss Fang, though naturally, cursing him behind his back as a trash boss remained unavoidable.

However, such a small interlude failed to ease the mood of most people present; many felt an empty void in their hearts after watching these few episodes of Jade Dynasty.

It was as if an important piece of their hearts had gone missing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the major guilds that had already begun preparing for the battle of Sabac were still organizing things methodically, but for some people, a sense of loss in their hearts was destined to be unavoidable.

For a good while, the hearts of most people were painted in shades of gray, a phenomenon that became especially pronounced after True Immortal Xi Chi and her companions also finished watching the newly released episodes of Jade Dynasty.

"Are human emotions really like this?" Within My Space, Ning Bi, who had finished watching the latest episode of Jade Dynasty, asked while controlling Chizuru Kagura to execute her moves.

"Perhaps they are..." Fang Qi replied, a cigarette bought from the system shop dangling from his mouth, as he tilted the joystick, "Who knows."
