Chapter 1524 - 1510: Annihilating Heaven and Earth

Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia hid inside the faint golden shield radiating from Zhang Wenhui's body. They couldn't feel anything, but they saw Zheng Nan in the corner, his body instantly covered by a layer of white frost.

The air in the hall grew colder and colder, even the walls were turning white with frost.

Zhang Wenhui's face was full of hesitation. Looking at Song Xiaojia and Lai Xiaole, he said, "Girl, the Lord of Ghosts has gone mad. What he's using is 'Heaven-annihilating Earth-destroying' from the Extreme Demon World. I'm afraid this chill will soon burst out, and the people outside will suffer."

Song Xiaojia was stunned and said, "Captain Zhang, then I'll go out and tell them to retreat at once."

Zhang Wenhui gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Too late. Even I can't resist this cold. Let alone you."

Fu Xi's gaze had never left the Lord of Ghosts, Qin Peiling. At this moment he suddenly let out a loud shout, then leapt up, pressed his palms together, and then drew them apart, tracing a circle in the air.

As the circle drawn by Fu Xi's hands appeared, it transformed into a huge transparent ring.

The ring rapidly expanded, emitting a low cracking sound, then scattered in all directions.

"Parallel space." Zhang Wenhui couldn't help blurting out.

Song Xiaojia and Lai Xiaole both looked at Zhang Wenhui in surprise. Song Xiaojia couldn't help asking, "Captain Zhang, what is a parallel space?"

Zhang Wenhui said, "Parallel space refers to an independent space created by someone whose power is profound, who has cultivated to a certain realm."

Zhang Wenhui's explanation left Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia somewhat at a loss; they both looked at him in confusion.

Seeing the blank look on their faces, Zhang Wenhui continued, "To put it another way, Heaven, Earth, and the Human World of the Three Realms are three separate spaces. The Three Realms have strict order and do not interfere with each other. The space Fu Xi created is the same as any space within the Three Realms. Qin Peiling's 'Heaven-annihilating Earth-destroying' chill simply cannot break through this independent space."

This time Lai Xiaole more or less understood; the principle was actually very simple.

Take us humans, for example. People live on this round Earth; everyone has their own independent space, their own secrets. As long as they don't want to reveal those secrets, no one can force them.

The space created by Fu Xi is like a person's own space. As long as Fu Xi doesn't withdraw this space, Qin Peiling's 'Heaven-annihilating Earth-destroying' chill won't break through it, and the outside world won't be affected.

To put it in the simplest terms, the people inside this building are living inside the space Fu Xi created; it's a completely different world from the outside of the building.

"Ksitigarbha, I'll do my best to break the Lord of Ghosts' Extreme Demon World. You find a chance to rush out—I'm going to seal everything here." Fu Xi shouted to Zhang Wenhui.

Zhang Wenhui looked at the awe-inspiring Fu Xi and couldn't help nodding.

Fu Xi turned to glance at Yaoji and the others. He stomped once in midair, waved his right hand, and a large golden bow appeared in it.

"Fu Xi's Sun-breaking Bow." Zhang Wenhui couldn't help crying out again.

Fu Xi gripped the golden bow in his right hand and drew the bowstring with his left; a white transparent arrow appeared.

The golden bow was already fully drawn, the white transparent arrow on the string. Fu Xi took a deep breath, and with a bang, the arrow shot toward the Lord of Ghosts, Qin Peiling, like a meteor.

The Lord of Ghosts' whole body was wrapped in a black mass of qi, suspended in midair. With a flash of golden light, the arrow had already reached him.

With a bang, the white transparent arrow struck the black qi mass, then suddenly stopped.

It turned out that when the Lord of Ghosts saw Fu Xi's arrow shooting over, he had already pushed his Inner Qi to the limit, trying to stop the arrow from entering the black qi mass.

The white transparent arrow halted at the edge of the black qi mass, straining to shoot inside. The black qi mass began to churn, forming a huge vortex force to block the arrow's advance.

In this moment of deadlock, suddenly a loud boom came from upstairs.

When Fu Xi heard this boom, his originally calm expression changed at once.

Zhang Wenhui's face also changed; he looked upstairs nervously.

"Captain Zhang, what's happening?" Seeing Zhang Wenhui's tense expression, Song Xiaojia couldn't help asking.

Without turning his head, Zhang Wenhui said, "Someone's trying to force their way into this space."

Lai Xiaole said, "Logically speaking, this space Fu Xi created shouldn't be visible to outsiders. How would this person know?"

Zhang Wenhui shook his head, his face cautious. "I don't know. The newcomer is a master—I'm afraid even the Human King Fu Xi may not be a match."

Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia both let out a soft cry, their eyes involuntarily turning upward. They were very curious: just what kind of person could be even stronger than the Human King Fu Xi.

...

Tang Yumeng left Jiangbei City by plane at eleven o'clock at night; she had to hurry to Shanghai to see Zhou Rui.

Jiangbei City isn't actually far from Shanghai; it takes just over an hour by plane.

At twelve-thirty in the night, Tang Yumeng was already at the gate of Shanghai International Airport.

At this moment, although it was already midnight, standing at the airport entrance one could clearly see Shanghai's dazzling nightscape.

Shanghai is a famed financial center of the Far East and even the whole world; its level of prosperity is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Tang Yumeng walked down the high steps outside the main gate just as a taxi drove up.

She flagged down the taxi and told the driver to take her straight to the hospital.

Before coming to Shanghai, Zhou Kai had already told her the hospital's name and address.

The airport was quite far from the hospital; the taxi drove for over an hour before arriving. Getting out and paying the fare, Tang Yumeng headed into the hospital.

Reaching the lobby on the first floor and following the signs, Tang Yumeng quickly found Blue Fox and Zhou Rui's aunt waiting outside the operating room.

Zhou Rui's aunt had met Tang Yumeng before. Seeing her, she was stunned for a moment, then hurried over and said politely, "Secretary Tang, what brings you here?"

In Zhou Rui's aunt's mind, Tang Yumeng was still the Party Secretary of Jiangbei City.

Tang Yumeng smiled and said, "Auntie, please don't call me that. I'm not a secretary anymore. By the way, how is Zhou Rui now?"

At the mention of Zhou Rui, tears immediately flowed from her aunt's eyes. "She's still in the operating room. We don't know how she is."

Tang Yumeng comforted her, saying, "Auntie, don't worry. Zhou Rui will be fine."

After speaking, she glanced at Blue Fox and gave a slight nod as a greeting.

Tang Yumeng had close ties with the Fire Fox Organization, so naturally she knew Blue Fox. But in this kind of situation, it was best to say as little as possible.

By now it was already close to two in the morning.

Tang Yumeng and Zhou Rui's aunt sat on the bench chatting, while Blue Fox stood to the side without saying a word.

After about half an hour, the operating room door opened and a nurse hurried out.

The three of them immediately surrounded her. Zhou Rui's aunt anxiously tried to ask something, but the nurse said, "The patient is about to go. If you have anything to say, go in and say it now."

Hearing this, Zhou Rui's aunt's body went soft at once; she almost collapsed to the floor.

Blue Fox reacted quickly and caught her.

Zhou Rui's aunt began to cry. Tang Yumeng felt miserable as well and said, "Auntie, let's go in quickly."

Inside the operating room, several doctors and nurses were busy. Seeing the three, a female doctor waved them over.

Tang Yumeng and Blue Fox, one on each side, supported Zhou Rui's aunt to the bedside. Zhou Rui was wearing an oxygen mask, her face deathly pale.

"Xiao Rui." Zhou Rui's aunt looked at her on the bed with aching heart, her hands trembling as she reached out, wanting to caress Zhou Rui's face.

Tang Yumeng felt a stab of bitterness in her heart. Holding back her tears, she said to the female doctor, "Doctor, how did things get like this?"

The female doctor shook her head, glanced at Zhou Rui, then gave Tang Yumeng a slight look and walked out.

Tang Yumeng said softly to Blue Fox, "Keep an eye on things. I'm stepping out for a bit."

With that, she turned and left the operating room, seeing the female doctor waiting for her at the door.

When she came out, the female doctor lowered her voice and said, "The patient's physical condition was never suitable for pregnancy. She insisted on having this child, which led to massive hemorrhaging. Sigh…"

Tang Yumeng asked, "So there's no hope at all?"

The female doctor shook her head. "I'm afraid the mother has no hope. The child is safe, but will need to be observed in the hospital for some time."

Tang Yumeng felt even more sorrowful. She thanked the female doctor, then turned and went back into the operating room.
