Free Web NovelChapter 357: Chapter 346: What’s Going On? Why Has the Moon Turned Blood-Red?
He then leaped into the air, transforming into a straight black streak under the blood-red moonlight.
No one could tell where Florian was
within that high-speed black streak.
The hand with which Xiao Cangqing held his wine glass trembled.
His opponent had already locked onto him. The oncoming killing intent was as fierce as a torrential squall,
and as turbulent as the raging tides in the ocean’s depths.
And within that killing intent, he was but a small boat, teetering on the brink of being torn to pieces at any moment.
Had it been in his prime, Xiao Cangqing would not have been so afraid,
but now he was merely a puppet controlled by Ye Lingyun, the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
"We don’t need Lord Xiao Cangqing of our Vampire Clan to kill you."
In a flash, Florian, the Clan Leader of the Werewolf Clan,
slashed through the air with his claws. Like lightning in the night, they carried an edge sharp enough to tear anything apart,
aimed straight for Xiao Cangqing’s heart.
Such was the pride and power of the Werewolf Clan’s leader; every swipe of his claws was enough to strike terror into his enemies.
In the instant before this fatal blow landed, the space before Xiao Cangqing
was disturbed by an invisible force. Blood-red ripples suddenly spread out,
like sanguine waves from an abyss, carrying a terrifying chill.
These ripples were not physical, yet they had a tangible substance. They expanded rapidly in the air, forming a bizarre, blood-red body of water.
Within this watery expanse, a figure gradually materialized. It was like a reflection in a mirror—illusory, yet real.
At first, the figure was as blurry and indistinct as the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror.
But as the ripples undulated, a terrifying presence began to silently spread.
Even a powerhouse like Florian felt his heart tighten, sensing an unprecedented threat.
A hand as pale as jade suddenly reached out from within the undulating ripples.
Its pallor nearly rivaled the moonlight,
and its fingers were long and slender, like a finely sculpted work of art.
Yet in that moment, it displayed a stunning power.
The hand effortlessly caught Florian’s wolf claw—a claw strong enough to rip through steel.
As they made contact,
a metallic clang rang out, and sparks flew.
As the hand appeared, the figure in the water grew increasingly clear.
Finally, a beautiful young woman with an Eastern face was completely revealed to everyone.
Her features were like the morning sun, radiant yet gentle,
but her eyes glowed with a crimson light, like two cold stars in an abyss, inspiring fear in all who met their gaze.
Her hair was like a waterfall in the night, shimmering with a faint, silvery light,
creating a stark contrast with her blood-red eyes and adding to her mysterious and uncanny aura.
The woman stepped slowly out of the blood-red ripples, as if she had crossed over from another world.
Each step trod upon nothingness, leaving not a single trace.
Her figure was as light as a willow wisp in the wind, yet she carried an air of majesty and power.
When she fully emerged from the blood-red water and stood before Xiao Cangqing, the entire space fell silent.
All eyes focused on the mysterious woman who had appeared so suddenly.
The air was thick with an oppressive tension. A storm was about to break over this land.
"Who are you?"
Florian asked, his brow furrowed.
Her face was completely unfamiliar; he had never seen her before.
