Chapter 26 Light! Light! Light!

This time, she was knocked directly into the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Arthur lay motionless in the rubble, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, so it must be a cellar.

Arthur tried to move his fingers and felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.

The holy light within his body was now completely gone, not a trace remaining.

The greatsword fell to her right, its holy light completely dimmed. She reached out to reach it several times, but couldn't.

Just then, a faint oil lamp lit up in the darkness.

The light first flickered in the distance, then slowly approached, and two blurry figures gradually emerged from the halo of light.

"what?"

A voice came from the direction of the light, its tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Arthur?"

The voice confirmed it again.

"It really is you!"

Chu Sheng raised the oil lamp a little higher, illuminating the face covered in blood and dust in the pile of rubble.

He never expected that a simple reconnaissance mission would lead to Arthur already starting a fight here.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Arthur is at a disadvantage.

But the current situation speaks for itself.

"Arthur," Chu Sheng squatted down, placed the oil lamp aside, and opened his arms, "Come on, like last time, hug me tight!"

Arthur's gaze passed over Chu Sheng's shoulder and landed on the figure behind him shrouded in a cloak.

"Audrey Paladin," Arthur's voice was weak, "long time no see. Your 'brother' gave me a real hard time."

"Arthur," Audrey's voice trembled, "Are you...are you alright?"

Arthur nodded slightly, but the movement aggravated her wound, causing her to frown.

"You two know each other?" Chu Sheng paused, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two men. "Alright, now's not the time for pleasantries. How's that thing up there?"

Arthur looked up, peering through the large hole that had been smashed through into the Sunlight Hall.

"Sixth tier." Arthur withdrew his gaze, his tone heavy. "It was originally a fourth-tier shapeshifter, but it swallowed a carrion flower, and now its strength has reached the sixth tier level."

"Can you beat them?" Chu Sheng didn't waste any words.

"I can't beat them." Arthur paused, then added, "But if I could unleash another strike, I should be able to."

"Then execute!" Chu Sheng opened his arms again. "Come on!"

Arthur looked at his hand, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

Sunlight Hall.

"Little kitten." The Flower of Flesh and Blood laughed in surprise. "You dare to come back?"

A person crawled out of the cave; it was Audrey.

Audrey did not answer. Her toes touched a toppled pillar, and she changed direction in mid-air, circling around the front of the Flower of Flesh and Blood to its flank.

The flower of flesh scoffed, its tendrils chasing and lashing at her. But Audrey was far too fast; each time, the tendrils barely grazed the hem of her dress.

Her mission was to buy time for Chu Sheng and Arthur.

As long as I don't die, it's fine.

In the cellar.

Chu Sheng gently picked up Arthur, who struggled to wrap his arms around Chu Sheng's neck.

"Ready?" Chu Sheng felt Arthur's warm breath on his face, which tickled him a little.

Arthur nodded and closed his eyes.

Chu Sheng felt Arthur's body suddenly become very hot, and then the holy light within him began to flow.

All the holy light surged in the same direction, and Chu Sheng felt his body temperature dropping and his heartbeat slowing down.

The feeling of the holy light being drained was strange. He hadn't been able to properly experience it since he had fainted last time, but this time it felt as if his life force was being drained away as well.

But he did not let go.

When Chu Sheng's holy light surged in, Arthur almost couldn't help but groan in pleasure.

It's not because there's too much, but because it's too pure.

She had discovered it last time: Chu Sheng's holy light had no affiliation; it was just a light, a light without any aura.

Her breathing gradually calmed, and her golden eyelashes trembled slightly. The greatsword lay to her right, gleaming faintly.

Arthur opened his eyes. Chu Sheng's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and blood was streaming from her nose. But when he saw her open her eyes, he still grinned.

"How was it?" he asked, his voice trembling. "Don't you think I'm awesome?"

Arthur gave him a disapproving look; she knew it was best not to answer when Chu Sheng said something she couldn't understand.

She simply hugged the weakened Chu Sheng tightly, as if their situations had reversed.

Then she grasped the hilt of the sword.

The tiny glimmer of light on the sword began to burn the moment she gripped it, all the light compressed inside the blade, like an unstable star.

The light in the sunroom dimmed for a moment as the sword frantically devoured all the surrounding light.

The Flower of Flesh and Blood noticed.

"boom!"

A bright, round sun slowly rose into the sky!

Arthur was engulfed in a surging holy light, like a king descended from the heavens, coldly looking down at the enraged flower of flesh and blood.

"You—" Its massive jaws snapped open in a furious roar, "How is this possible!"

Chu Sheng didn't give him a chance.

He took a deep breath and then cupped his hands around his mouth like a trumpet.

"Shapeshifter, I'll fuck your mother!!!"

A deafening shriek erupted from his throat, the sound waves striking the heart of the flower of flesh and blood, causing his mouth, filled with sharp teeth, to freeze abruptly.

A flood of questions rushed through the Flower of Flesh and Blood's mind.

Who is my mother?

Why did he criticize my mother?

Supplementary payment? Who the hell are you?

In that instant, Audrey appeared directly behind the flower of flesh.

The Flower of Flesh and Blood was distracted; in front of it was the human who had thrown it into disarray, and behind it was the suddenly appearing kitten. Its brain—if there was a brain within that chaotic, gelatinous mass—made a decision in an extremely short time.

Deal with the latter first. The human looks very weak, and the kitten could disappear again at any moment.

Five tendrils simultaneously lashed out at Audrey from different angles!

Audrey didn't dodge. Five tendrils blocked all her escape routes, rendering the cat-woman's agility meaningless at that moment.

But she didn't close her eyes; she stared intently at the heart of the flower of flesh and blood with her deep blue vertical pupils.

She wanted to witness its death with her own eyes.

Then the light came.

The light that fills the world, the light that illuminates everything, the light that covers the sky and the earth!

Light! Light! Light! Light is everywhere!

Arthur's sword slashed out.

The fully liberated form of the [Law of Refraction] is neither an arc nor a straight line.

It is a surface.

A surface woven from countless straight lines, each line being an independent strike, yet they occur simultaneously, fall simultaneously, and arrive simultaneously.

There is no escaping it; that is the meaning of the law.

The flower of flesh and blood has been cut by this face.

Light passed through its body, cutting the petals into countless neat diamond-shaped fragments. The five tendrils that were lashing out at Audrey stopped in mid-air, their surfaces covered with dense streaks of light.

Finally, there's the fickle heart.

The mouth, filled with sharp teeth, opened as if to say something. But before a sound could be uttered, its entire core split open from the middle.

It cracks along each light streak simultaneously, like a flower in full bloom.

Holy light burst forth from every crack.

At this moment, the Sunlight Hall truly felt bathed in sunlight.

The greatsword slipped from Arthur's hand, its tip sinking into the ground. She braced herself against the hilt with one hand, while holding the even weaker Chu Sheng with the other, and did not fall.

Audrey stood there, the chopped branches scattered at her feet, the cut ends still emitting a faint golden light, her pupils slowly returning from a thin slit to an oval shape.

Chu Sheng slumped in Arthur's arms, his throat completely unable to utter a sound, and mouthed something.

Judging from the shape of his mouth, it probably means "handsome".

Then he saw Audrey's expression change. Her cat ears perked up, and her pupils contracted back to slits.

The flower of flesh and blood is still steaming!
