Chapter -18 Hu Liena

Chapter -18.

It felt like he was enchanted; Ye Chen couldn't take his eyes off the breathtaking woman in front of him. He had encountered beautiful women before, but there was something uniquely captivating about this one, making it impossible for him to look away.

His hand, driven by an unseen force, seemed ready to reach out, but thankfully, Ye Chen managed to regain his composure and averted his gaze, avoiding a serious mistake.

Removing his coat, he gently draped it over the stunning woman. Time seemed to stretch in that moment; every second felt like a peculiar torment for Ye Chen, as he wanted it to speed by yet also felt a deep reluctance to let it go.

Eventually, a dark purple soul ring emerged around her, and she awoke from her meditation.

She was very observant; the moment she opened her eyes, she sensed Ye Chen's intense stare. When she noticed the coat covering her, a fleeting softness crossed her eyes before it was quickly replaced by icy resolve.

"Thanks for the coat, but since you looked at me, you must die."

Before Ye Chen could respond, the mesmerizing woman unleashed her special soul ability, Charm, accompanied by a surge of soul power.

A magnificent golden fox materialized behind her, its fox-like ears and fluffy tail glowing with an unusual red light.

Her eyes shimmered with a pink hue as her finger glided across her alluring red lips, creating an irresistible allure. Then she stretched gracefully, causing Ye Chen's coat to slip off her back and leaving her exposed once more.

A rush of captivating red soul power surged from her, instantly captivating the entranced Ye Chen, followed by an overwhelming suppressive force that sealed off nearly half of his soul power.

"Wasn't this person at level 30? How did they suddenly jump to level 38 after absorbing a soul ring?"

As she sensed the strength of Ye Chen's soul power, the stunning woman thought to herself that she was lucky to have enchanted him; otherwise, she might have found it difficult to keep him today.

"Ouch, this feels terrible!"

Ye Chen instinctively fiddled with his clothes, watching the captivating woman before him mumbling incessantly.

At that moment, all he could see was the woman nearby; if one looked closely, they would notice that the center of his pupils displayed a pink heart, as if it were controlling him.

Swaying slightly, Ye Chen moved towards the beautiful woman, unwittingly shedding his clothes piece by piece, his demeanor akin to someone in a trance.

Observing this, the woman remained calm rather than panicked; she knew that once someone fell under her spell, they would quickly lose all rationality and become infatuated with her.

Raising her right hand slowly, she gathered a mass of white lightning between her fingers, swirling and restless.

"Die!"

With a glance at the man's coat lying on the ground, a hint of hesitation flashed in the woman's eyes, but she showed no mercy. With a flick of her wrist, the mass of lightning surged toward Ye Chen like a dragon emerging from the sea, engulfing him instantly in a vast storm of lightning.

Turning, she retrieved a set of purple armor and pink gauze from a storage necklace around her neck and donned them. The enchanting woman stood there, muttering,

"Remember, the one who killed you is Hu Liena, even though you're already dead." After saying this, she shook her head and was about to leave the Star Dou Forest.

But just then, two large hands suddenly wrapped around her from behind, followed by a powerful force that knocked her down onto the grass, stirring up a bit of dust.

"What's happening?"

Hu Liena struggled to free herself, but those strong hands held her securely, preventing any escape.

She was perplexed; despite using a powerful fourth soul skill, a level 38 Soul Master, even with half their soul power suppressed, shouldn't be able to withstand any attack, let alone a similarly leveled opponent who could be killed by a minor mistake. Her fourth soul ring was the 9000-year-old Black and White Thunder Eagle.

Before she could ponder further, a tremendous force flipped Hu Liena over. When she looked face-to-face with the figure, she was stunned to see it was Ye Chen; he was not only alive but had also undergone a remarkable transformation in appearance.

Ye Chen's already handsome face had taken on an even more striking, almost demonic beauty. Twelve pitch-black angel wings had sprouted from his back, and as they fluttered slightly, powerful dark energy radiated from them, creating an aura of dread.

His eyes shimmered with strange red glows, something beyond anything truly human, making Hu Liena feel as though she was facing a demon.

"Let me go."

Unwilling to yield, Hu Liena focused all her soul power into shaping a thick black lightning snake above her head. This was the final form of her fourth soul skill, deriving from the beast soul inheritance of the black and white thunder eagle; it was her most formidable attack.

"Zizizi!"

Around the black lightning snake, faint flickers of lightning danced, growing more intense as the snake solidified, making the air sizzling hot.

Once fully formed, Hu Liena unleashed it, realizing that her charm skill was still effective on Ye Chen, and his actions were becoming increasingly reckless. In mere seconds, the outfit she had just put on was ruthlessly torn to shreds.

The black lightning snake roared through the air, and at Hu Liena's command, it lunged straight for Ye Chen's heart, aiming for a lethal hit. The fierce black lightning snake was incredibly powerful; even before it reached him, it had already torn through the fabric of his chest. Then, like a living creature, it opened its mouth wide and pierced through him, creating a charred blood hole the size of a bowl in his chest.

Crimson blood flowed like a river, and Ye Chen's frantic movements came to an abrupt halt as he stood still.

"Is he finally dead?"

Hu Liena watched Ye Chen, who resembled a demon, cautiously. The numerous bloody scratches on her chest made her wince in pain, prompting a thought that this man had no sense of appreciation for beauty; he was as rough as a demon.

Pulling out another outfit from her storage necklace, just as Hu Liena prepared to put it on, she suddenly noticed the fingers of the man she thought was 'dead' twitching.

No, it wasn't an illusion.

Immediately dismissing any notion of having misseen, Hu Liena observed Ye Chen again, shocked to see the flesh within the bowl-sized blood hole writhing vigorously under a surge of dark energy. In full view, a new heart began to form, accompanied by the sound of rhythmic heartbeats.

As the heart regenerated, the blood hole healed rapidly, and within moments, it was entirely restored.

The whole recovery took less than a minute, leaving Hu Liena in awe, momentarily forgetting to flee. Suddenly, she was tackled to the ground by a powerful figure.

Note : Guys, some power stones will be really helpful.
