The Legend of Shen Li (English Translation of Yu Feng Xing 与凤行)

Chapter 16

The dark clouds rumbled. There was no lightning, yet thunderclaps boomed loudly. For this abnormal phenomenon, the people were in a state of panic and anxiety.

Within the Rui Palace, the small room was overflowing with killing intent. Although Chi Rong's face still held a smile, his hands have already waved open a folding fan. 

Qing Yan had also already unsheathed his sword. The atmosphere within the chamber was enough to start a battle with a mere dropping of a hair. Both sides knew that if it were to be started, the other party would not be met with mercy due to relationships. The battle will be fought as if it were a war.

"King," Chi Rong waved his fan, laughing, 

"You've already caused a lot of trouble to the Demon Emperor, making him furious. 

Now, soldiers are prowling every inch of this world." 

He looked at the sickly Xing Yun behind her, 

"You as the Azure Sky King may be able to preserve your own life, but you definitely cannot save him as well. 

I hope that King will re-evaluate her own situation and not act rashly."

Shen Li paid no attention to him, only slightly leaning her body to turn her head at pale Xing Yun to shoot him a look, speaking, 

"Are you still alive?'

"Alive," Xing Yun shook his head, laughing, 

"But may die soon."

"You cannot die." 

Shen Li's right hand gripped the Hongying Spear, then roughly, with the sharp edge of the spearpoint, slashed the hollow of her palm. 

The Hongying Spear absorbed the blood, dazzling light immediately shining.

Qing Yan frowned, about to go forward in an attempt to seize Shen Li. Shen Li waved her left hand, splatters of blood landing three foot away in front of Qing Yan. When he stepped foot onto the bloodstain, he felt a red hot glowing flame was cooking him from head to toe! 

He used his magical power, forcing the flame to scatter. But unexpectedly, the broiling fire only seemed to get hotter! 

It was as if it had it's own consciousness as it leaped, going so far as to even attack his two eyes. Qing Yan, to protect his eyes, had no choice but to retreat back to the door.

Shen Li spun the Hongying Spear, thrusting it straight into the ground in front of her. One could see the blood on the spear tip moved along with the shaft, sliding down as it seeped into the earth. 

One could only see a golden flash as the blood condensed into a circle around 2 inco Shen Li's hes wide, surrounding Shen Li. 

Another one appeared, circling Xing Yun. 

She then tore off off piece of her robe and bandaged her left hand as she turned to Xing Yun, speaking:

"If I'm here, you cannot die."

Xing Yun stared at her distractedly, the light behind her twinkling. Yet that dazzling ray couldn't even be compared to Shen Li's own vivid aura. 

It filled all of his sight, never ending, almost even making himself forget.

Shen Li's arm looped through his armpit, hauling his body onto her back. 

Their bodies were pasted together, her body heating his, blood coursing through his internal organs.

Xing Yun's lips held a seldom seen curve, making it impossible for one to decipher his mood, only pitch black.

"King," Qing Yan spoke solemnly,
