Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Chapter 404: Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven Part 404

First sight and strength

The sun shines on the earth, illuminating the vast wilderness. A woman in white steps onto this vast land alone. There is a hint of coldness between her brows, and her eyes are calm, as if this wilderness cannot affect her mind in the slightest.

This woman is the goddess Di Huang. She was reborn with a heavy responsibility to find the enemy who once made her old and gray as soon as possible and take back everything she deserves.

Looking into the distance, Di Huang frowned slightly, as if she sensed something unusual. She slowly looked around, her eyes lingering on an inconspicuous path for a long time, "It seems someone is watching me in secret."

As soon as the words fell, a man in black quietly appeared and stared at Emperor Huang from a distance. The auras between the two of them intertwined with each other, suppressing people to the point of suffocation.

"Who are you? How dare you show yourself before me?" Emperor Huang spoke calmly, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

The man had no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "My name is Lu Ling. I heard that you are an extraordinary woman. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here."

When mentioning his own name, Lu Ling's voice revealed a bit of laziness and unruliness, making it impossible to grasp his true thoughts.

Emperor Huang smiled contemptuously and said coldly: "In that case, let me see what you are capable of."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Huang suddenly unleashed a powerful Qi force and attacked Lu Ling at lightning speed. This move seemed simple, but it contained amazing power, making the air tremble.

Lu Ling was slightly stunned, then calmed down, dodged the move easily with a flash of his body. Not only that, he actually saw the flaw in Di Huang's attack and took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack her.

The two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. This evenly matched confrontation made the sky in the distance unpredictable and covered with dark clouds.

After a fierce fight, Di Huang finally retreated to a safe distance. She couldn't help but secretly admire that the person in front of her had such extraordinary strength that he could compete with her.

"Not bad. I didn't expect you to be able to compete with me. It seems that you are not simple either." Emperor Huang said with a smile, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Lu Ling also smiled slightly, without making any comment. He looked Di Huang up and down, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

This confrontation undoubtedly made both of them curious about each other. Di Huang didn't expect that Lu Ling could compete with him, and Lu Ling didn't expect that this beautiful and cold woman in front of him had such a strong strength.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if they were both waiting for something. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance, breaking the frozen atmosphere between the two.

"Help! Someone is robbing!"

A businessman holding silver coins came running from the path in a panic, followed closely by several masked gangsters.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ling and Di Huang frowned at the same time.

"Just some boring little characters again." Emperor Huang snorted coldly, his eyes calm and unhurried.

Lu Ling suddenly strode forward and stood between the businessman and the gangsters.

"Stop!" Lu Ling shouted in a deep voice, with an unquestionable majesty in his voice.

The gangsters were stunned when they saw this, as if they had not expected anyone to dare to stop them. But soon, they recovered, with a disdainful smile on their faces.

"Hey, it seems we have met a hero." One of the gangsters said sarcastically, "Do you want to rob us of this silver too?"

Lu Ling glanced at them calmly and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."

The criminals were immediately enraged upon hearing this, and they drew their swords and rushed towards Lu Ling.

Seeing this, Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Lu Ling deal with this group of thugs. Lu Ling's body was agile, and every move was powerful enough to kill the thugs. One by one, the thugs fell down. Although his movements were simple, they revealed an unparalleled calmness.

Soon, all the gangsters fell to the ground, unable to move. Lu Ling clapped his hands lightly, turned around, and looked at the dumbstruck businessman calmly.

“Are you okay?”

The businessman nodded blankly, and after a while he stammered, "No, it's okay, thank you very much for saving me, big brother."

Lu Ling smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards Emperor Huang.

"It seems that you are not simple either." Emperor Huang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

Lu Ling smiled faintly and said nothing.

The two fell silent again, as if they were thinking about something. After a long while, Emperor Huang suddenly said, "Are you willing to go with me?"

Lu Ling was slightly startled, then nodded.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, set out on a road leading to the unknown.

Narrative emotions and story contradictions

Walking on the unfamiliar road, Di Huang and Lu Ling were both silent. There was a vague sense of tension between the two, as if something would explode at any time.

This journey was full of uncertainty for them, but also had an indescribable attraction. Every step they took caused ripples in their hearts, as if they were exploring each other's hearts.

Emperor Huang frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ling beside him calmly. This man gave her a completely different feeling, not just hostility, but something elusive. He gave people a feeling of neither friendliness nor alienation, like a mystery, which made people unconsciously want to explore.

Lu Ling also glanced at Di Huang from time to time, but quickly looked away. This woman exuded an indescribable charm that made it impossible to take your eyes off her. She had an elegant and cold temperament, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed an indomitable charm, as if nothing in the world could affect her mind.

The two walked silently, neither of them breaking the silence, but their hearts were filled with turmoil.

When they reached a quiet path in the woods, Di Huang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Ling.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Lu Ling was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly: "I'm just an ordinary person."

Emperor Huang snorted contemptuously: "Since you were able to compete with me just now, how can you be an ordinary person?"

Lu Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I don't want to hide anything, but I can't be completely honest with you now. Maybe when the time comes, I will tell you the truth."

Emperor Huang narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Ling quietly. After a long while, she nodded slowly: "Well, I won't force you. But if you dare to deceive me, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Lu Ling smiled slightly and said nothing.

The two of them set out on the road again. This time, there was a subtle atmosphere in the air, neither tense nor cold and distant, but an ambiguous feeling.

They both have their own secrets and are trying to find out the true face of each other. This uncertainty is both exciting and paradoxical, like an invisible gravitational force that draws the two people together.

Before I knew it, the sky had gradually darkened. The sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the rays of light in the sky. The originally bright sky had now become gloomy, as if it would rain heavily at any time.

Emperor Huang frowned slightly and looked around. "It looks like it's going to rain. We'd better find a place to stay quickly."

Lu Ling nodded and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly. The two quickened their pace and looked for a suitable shelter from the rain.

Just as they were moving forward, there was a sudden loud roar, accompanied by a powerful force pressing towards them.

Di Huang and Lu Ling were startled at the same time and turned around quickly, only to see a tall and burly man leaping out from the bushes, waving a huge axe in his hand and attacking them fiercely.

This man exuded a powerful aura, and every time he swung his axe, the surrounding trees whistled. Di Huang and Lu Ling were shocked and secretly estimated the man's strength.

"It seems like another uninvited guy has come." Emperor Huang said coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, neither humble nor arrogant.

"My dear little girl, what secrets do you two have?" the man roared, his eyes full of vigilance and fierceness. "I want you to tell me the truth!"

Lu Ling frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Since you insist on fighting, don't blame us for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Huang and Lu Ling both used their special skills at the same time and launched a fierce attack on the man.

The energy in the air intertwined together, making a roaring sound. The two cooperated tacitly and perfectly, making the man unable to defend himself and retreating step by step.

At this moment, suddenly a golden light flashed, and an exquisite long sword appeared out of thin air, slashing at the man fiercely.

The man was caught off guard and had no time to react. He could only watch himself being severely injured. He fell to the ground, but stared at Di Huang and Lu Ling fiercely.

"What are your origins, guys? I must find out!"

After saying this, he uttered an angry roar and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

Di Huang and Lu Ling looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened. After a long while, Di Huang turned his head and looked at Lu Ling: "The sword you just used was really beautiful."

Lu Ling smiled faintly and said nothing.

The two of them set out on the road again, but they felt an unprecedented tension. The appearance of the man just now undoubtedly made them realize that there are many unknown dangers hidden in this world. They must always stay vigilant to move forward safely.

Before I knew it, the sky had completely darkened. Fine raindrops began to fall, covering the ground with a layer of silvery-white film.

The cold wind blew, chilling people's hearts. Di Huang couldn't help but lean towards Lu Ling, his whole body trembling slightly.

Lu Ling noticed Di Huang's movements, and his heart was moved. He quietly reached out his hand, gently embraced Di Huang in his arms, and protected her steadily.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered, and his tone unconsciously became gentle.

Di Huang was stunned for a moment, and then she felt Lu Ling's body temperature and breath, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in her heart. She leaned gently in his arms, feeling his warmth, and her whole body relaxed.

The two of them just hugged each other quietly, letting the cold raindrops fall on them. At this moment, everything around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them.

Emperor Huang couldn't help but wonder if this seemingly cold man also had another gentle side.
