The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 699 - The Night where the Moon is Dark and Winds are Strong

Chapter 699: The Night where the Moon is Dark and Winds are Strong

Hong long!
A lightning bolt struck down! A loud thunder sound was heard, and it reverberated throughout the area!
The suppression within was very strong, and the crazy force rapidly spread out in all directions.
The wind howled aggressively and blew everywhere. A large number of the trees near Chu Liuyue and the rest were blown till they broke, and some were even totally uprooted.
Dust flew up everywhere!
Chu Liuyue was slightly shocked and was about to move when she felt a warm yet strong force covering herself.
That terrifying aura was immediately blocked outside.
Chu Liuyue turned around in shock and saw that Lei Laosi had set up a white barrier.
Ice-blue lightning glowed on the barrier.
Chu Liuyue followed her gaze and discovered that Lei Laosi was holding a hammer.
The strength of the barrier seemed to come from the hammer.
“Hmph, now you know how formidable it is? That side-effect almost took half your lives away.” Lei Laosi coldly snickered, and his entire face had the expression of ‘I knew you newbies didn’t have much combat power.’
Facing Lei Laosi’s face of contempt, Chu Liuyue didn’t care at all and seriously thanked him. “Thank you, Big Brother Lei!”
Lei Laosi didn’t expect that not only was Chu Liuyue not afraid at all, but she even directly thanked him. Her words and attitude were all very sincere, causing him to be dazed.
During that moment, he didn’t know how he should retract that ferocious expression on his face.
This girl is too smart! How am I going to continue? Lei Laosi was disinterested, and he could only tactfully cover his expression.
With Chu Liuyue in the lead, Mu Hongyu and Ye Ranran hurriedly followed and said toward Lei Laosi in unison, “Thank you, Big Brother Lei!”
The two ladies’ face of overwhelming sincerity was actually even greater than Chu Liuyue’s and definitely not any lesser.
Lei Laosi’s eyelids twitched.
He was a bore and was used to seeing the gleams of blades and swords. He had seen countless fights and murders, but this was the first time a few petite girls thanked him continuously.
Lei Laosi instantly felt uncomfortable as he held the hammer in his hands and faltered. I-I really… want to tell these few ladies to stop talking and not to use those grateful, teary eyes to look at me! Ahh!!
Seeing Lei Laosi’s especially awkward manner, Chu Liuyue secretly laughed to herself. This Lei Laosi seems huge and talks brutely, but he’s a good person in reality. The key is… He always seems to be a little awkward. He’s clearly helping others, but he has to put up a ferocious appearance as if he’s terrified of other people knowing that he is kind-hearted. His temper is pretty similar to someone amongst the Thirteen Yue Guard.
Thinking of that person, Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Lei Laosi immediately exploded. “W-what are you smiling at!?”
Chu Liuyue coughed. “Nothing much. I just felt that Big Brother Lei… You’re quite similar to someone that I know.” But even though their temperament is similar, their appearances are worlds apart.
Lei Laosi believed her doubtfully but did not continue asking. He felt extremely uncomfortable because of Chu Liuyue’s smiling appearance, and he could only turn his face away. I won’t look! I won’t look! What I can’t see won’t hurt me!
Chu Liuyue smiled for a while and let him off. She then looked up at the rainbow barrier again.
The first lightning bolt struck down, and the strength gradually dispersed as the effects slowly appeased.
She unwittingly glanced at it and shockingly discovered that the bottommost part of the barrier actually became transparent.
Even though the area wasn’t large, they could see a portion of the scene covered by the barrier through here—a bunch of fallen leaves and half the stream.
They had no choice as this was the Mystic Forest. The grounds of the forest were always covered with thick fallen leaves.
But even though she could only see this, Chu Liuyue was already very excited.
It was as if after that lightning struck down, the fiend within absorbed a portion of the barrier’s strength, which caused his type of situation to occur…
When a ninth-grade fiend broke through to become a legendary fiend, it had to endure nine bolts of lightning. When these nine bolts of lightning all struck down, perhaps the barrier would completely disappear.
By that time, they would be able to see exactly what was going on.
When the lightning struck down, it interrupted Ye Ranran’s movements.
After seeing the change on the barrier, all the attention of everyone present had been attracted over, and they naturally forgot about that wing.
Chu Liuyue looked up, and as expected, she saw that the second lightning bolt was already rapidly gathering. But she didn’t notice that Tuan Zi, who was in her arms, had already silently covered its eyes and the dazzle within them.
…
“Ah!” A painful moan was suddenly heard from behind the crowd.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows and turned around to take a look. This voice… It sounds like Jiang Yucheng?
Mu Hongyu and the rest also followed her gaze and looked over.
The nearby forest was also affected by the aftershock, and it was in a mess.
And far away… There was no one.
“Who is screaming?” asked Mu Hongyu rather uneasily. “There’s nobody… Did I hear it wrongly?”
Ye Ranran shook her head. “I heard it too! There is someone! I-I think he’s underground!”
“Underground?” Mu Hongyu was dazed for a moment.
Ye Ranran already looked at Chu Liuyue. “Liuyue, you heard it too, right? Did that voice come from underground?”
Chu Liuyue’s eyes sparkled slightly. Jiang Yucheng is pretty capable. He actually could escape from that type of situation and come here…
Even though she didn’t know why his voice was coming from underground, Chu Liuyue still felt pretty disgusted. She didn’t want to know what exactly was going on.
She just hoped that Jiang Yucheng would go far away and not disturb her here.
However, Jiang Yucheng’s voice didn’t stop, and it was getting closer and closer.
Chu Liuyue’s mind moved slightly, and a thought popped up in her mind. On the night when the moon is black and winds are strong, it’s time for murder and arson!
The skies were now getting dark, and the entire forest was covered in this thick layer of shadow. Thus, everyone’s vision was inevitably affected.
Additionally, with that ninth-grade fiend breaking through, the commotion it caused was huge. If something really happened, it wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.
She stood up. “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll go take a look.”
