Chapter 27 Despair

Swallowing the last of the medicine, Wu Feifei ignored the backlash of the pill toxins and made a desperate gamble, running for her life.

The horses had long since collapsed and died when the severe rain fell. The only thing she could rely on now was herself!

Wu Feifei's tiny figure moved alone on the blood-colored earth, running at full speed.

Her death row teammates had either died halfway or fled in another direction. Only she continued to run in this direction, trying to escape the range of the night rain.

She felt that she was about to escape.

Because the rain falling now was no longer light red, but ordinary rain.

But the rain was still heavy, a downpour of night rain.

"Faster, faster!"

The backlash of the pill toxins made her mouth dry, her brain feverish, and her inner Qi chaotic.

But she persevered, because she was the captain of Lan Shan, the manager of the death row team, and she absolutely couldn't fall here!

"For the glory of the family, to survive!!"

Her consciousness began to blur, and the scenery in front of her began to overlap. The backlash of the pill toxins was more rapid and intense than she had imagined.

Her limbs began to go numb, and she was running purely on instinct.

Fortunately, the night rain overhead had changed from a downpour to a moderate rain, and was even gradually decreasing.

As the intensity of the night rain weakened, she could hold on for longer, just weakened by the pill toxins.

But the pill toxins wouldn't kill her for a while.

However, the strangeness overhead, and that strangeness, could take her life!

Despite being extremely tired, Wu Feifei did not forget to look back frequently while running, wanting to see if Fang Yue had caught up.

To her relief, she did not see Fang Yue's figure.

It seemed that the death row team's strategy of splitting up and running away had worked. The others had diverted Fang Yue's attention, buying her time to escape.

This scattering and fleeing was originally a gamble on each other's lives, seeing who was tough enough and who had better luck, to avoid being targeted by the strong enemy, and finally escape from the battlefield back to Lan Shan and survive.

As for the death row inmates taking this opportunity to escape Lan Shan's control, that was impossible.

Although the Emperor had allowed Lan Shan to reopen the death row team, the restrictions on it had become even stricter. Without the official permission of the Qing Country, any escaped death row convict would not survive for long.

Although this escape method, unique to the death row team, was rarely useful on weekdays, it had indeed been effective a few times. But at that time, it was basically *Zui Jie Shuang Lian* (Sinful Pure Twin Scythes) and *Zhui Tian* (Fallen Sky) who attracted the firepower for her.

Now that *Zui Jie Shuang Lian* and *Zhui Tian* had been killed by Fang Yue, Wu Feifei thought that even if she used this trick, she would be targeted by Fang Yue and basically be dead.

Unexpectedly, she still managed to escape by luck, without being targeted by Fang Yue.

"This is really the ancestors showing their spirit! Saving my life!"

A feeling of relief flashed through Wu Feifei's mind. Don't be fooled by her calm demeanor earlier, she was actually quite frightened when she saw *Zui Jie Shuang Lian* and *Zhui Tian* being killed one after another.

That level of existence, that monster, was indeed beyond their ability to deal with.

Only a rain-grade powerhouse could suppress such an existence!

So what she had to do now was to immediately escape back to the palace and ask for support!

Just as Wu Feifei thought of this, she suddenly seemed to discover something, and she stopped abruptly, freezing in place.

Because she found that… the rain was getting heavier.

*Hua la la!*

The night rain, which had just been reduced to a drizzle, suddenly intensified wildly, soaring from a drizzle to a severe rain in just a few seconds!

Dully looking up, the dark clouds overhead had become so dense and dark, swirling in the sky like the end of the world.

*Rumble!*

Amidst the lightning and thunder, rain poured down from the black clouds!

In the continuous downpour, a figure with a single black wing appeared, slowly descending from the black clouds.

*Hua la la!*

The light red severe rain continuously and frantically beat against Wu Feifei's face.

Whether it was the rain blurring her vision, or she had reached her limit.

Looking at the figure descending from the sky, she felt somewhat dazed.

"This guy… is he really a Yuezhu Guai (Moon Lord monster)? Why… why is he so strong? Why is he so strong!"

Wu Feifei really couldn't accept this reality.

When she received the mission to come here, she expected, at most, a Li-grade (Wrath-grade) middle-stage monster.

She had never imagined a monster like the one in front of her. It was completely different from the information!

But now, she and everyone in the death row team had faced this monster head-on, this monster!!

Looking at the single-winged figure in the sky, Wu Feifei finally lost control, roaring, screaming, and shouting in a deranged manner.

However, the heads falling from the sky, and the man who maintained a calm expression, made her feel a deep sense of despair.

That guy… was actually exterminating them all! He had slaughtered all the escaping death row teams, everyone!

He even saved her for last, throwing all the heads of the death row team members he had reaped in front of her.

Dozens of heads had been bumped and bruised beyond recognition when they hit the ground, but Wu Feifei still recognized the identities of these people.

Why! Why did he have to go to this extent? Is this really what a monster would do!

In the face of absolute oppression, in the face of great life and death, even though Wu Feifei was on the verge of collapse, her brain was still working at high speed.

In that instant, a terrifying, absurd, yet crazy and bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.

And she felt that this idea, although absurdly unbelievable, was so impossible to ignore.

"Could it be… could it be that you are not a Yuezhu Guai, but… Night Watch? Yes, that must be it! Night Watch, you are Night Watch, aren't you!"

"No. I am Yuezhu Guai."

"What?! No, no, wait! Things are not what you see..."

*Buzz!!*

An intense, piercing sound that shook the air suddenly rang out!

In the piercing sound, a black spike suddenly extended from the black moon behind Fang Yue, piercing downwards!

Almost in the blink of an eye, this black spike pierced through the ground, accurately pierced through Wu Feifei's mouth, easily broke through the back of her neck, and plunged into the ground, pinning her to the spot, unable to move or say a word.

Wu Feifei's eyes widened, and darkness rushed in like a tide.

Blood surged from her body, overflowing from her throat.

She stared fixedly at Fang Yue, who was gradually descending, as if she had countless resentments to express, but she could no longer say a word.

Because, she maintained a death stare, her consciousness completely plunged into the eternal darkness.

She was dead.

*Hua la la.*

The light red night rain poured down on Wu Feifei's corpse, gradually corroding her face, revealing her cheekbones.

Fang Yue, who was floating in mid-air, slowly landed on the ground, looking at the heads and bones all over the ground, letting the severe rain wash over his body, and remained motionless for a long time.

He was feeling the power in his body, the new power! The surging power!
