Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 252 - 208: Torturous Love

```

With a deafening battle cry piercing the air, members of various forces began to surge forward in waves, as the Red Palace initiated its assault.

It wasn’t just the Death Omen Yuan You within the Red Palace; even a small red crystal or a drop of Amber Zhe Honey held immense value. Those members whose strength hadn’t reached the top tier knew well that Death Omen Yuan You was out of their league, but they could still gain substantial profits in this battle against the Insect Race.

After all, it was exceedingly difficult to take anything from the Red Zhe alone under normal circumstances.

After a brief wait, the breakout squad composed of genius warriors from human forces began to move out.

Their route was designed to avoid dense concentrations of Red Zhe. With individuals such as Liu Mengying, the White Ghost Knight, Jiao Chenglie, Chu Zhi, and Liang Shou at the helm, this team had exceptional strength. They could swiftly cut down even tyrant tiger armors that stood in their way.

Soon, the group of geniuses had reached the Second Hall Platform.

This platform was solely populated by tyrant tiger armors, with no other Red Zhe present.

Wu Hen remembered how back then he had fought fiercely here, barely managing to take down ten tyrant tiger armors.

One had to admit, the geniuses from various clans were indeed formidable, especially when they combined their forces. Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their divine skills, these abilities may not be much use against a tyrant tiger armor singly, but together they could form a terrifying array of slaughter.

"There are nearly a hundred tyrant tiger armors, which means about ten for each person here."

"That’s pretty much the same treatment I had initially."

Wu Hen hid behind Liu Mengying, carefully observing the surroundings.

Unlike last time, Wu Hen watched the entire battle.

After all, in terms of character design, he was just a decoration for a Yin Pole Xuan Woman.

It was evident that not all the human clan geniuses could take on ten tyrant tiger armors each; there were some mixed in who weren’t up to the task.

But once Liu Mengying’s mana began to show signs of recovery, she became like a human-shaped nuclear weapon to the Red Zhe. After the nuclear bomb was successfully loaded, she could once again wipe out dozens of tyrant tiger armors...

Honestly, hiding behind Liu Mengying did give Wu Hen a great sense of security, which reminded him of the days when he went up the mountain with the Immortal Gong Qin. Virtually, anything he wasn’t able to beat with pure strength, she could handle without breaking a sweat.

The Immortal Clan and Yin Clan were truly formidable. In the future, if he were to recruit loved maids again, he would prioritize candidates from these two clans!

"Hand!" Liu Mengying glanced at Wu Hen, who was about to start snacking on sunflower seeds, and said sternly.

He simply wanted to ask, especially in such a life-and-death environment, the act of asking such a question was extraordinary, imbued with an ancient and profound sense of love, hatred, and separation!

Liu Mengying obviously heard it.

But she pretended not to.

In her palm, Yin Xuan Energy gathered once more. With a gentle blow from her, the energy transformed into the claw of a Netherworld Beast!

The massive claw of the Netherworld Beast struck down hard on the tyrant tiger armor blocking their way!

The tyrant tiger armor shattered to pieces, and even if not dead, was severely maimed.

Every time Liu Mengying displayed the power of a Yin Pole Xuan Woman, it inspired morale. With her divine skill carving out a path, other geniuses from assorted clans quickly took action, heading towards the Third Hall Platform.

Their hands, closely clasped together even after the divine skill was used, didn’t part.

She simply took hold of Wu Hen’s hand.

It was unclear whether she needed to draw Yin Xuan Spirit Power from Wu Hen or to provide him with some emotional comfort.

Wu Hen sighed deeply in his heart.

Even though it was only a brief experience of a different life, Wu Hen could read many stories from these two souls of the netherworld...

Alas, each Desert Dust Life’s path of evolution involved harsh competitors.

That competitor might even be the person sleeping beside you.

Whether Liu Mengying would abandon him after her ascension, Wu Hen certainly didn’t know the answer.

But they were almost at the Third Hall Platform, and he had to abandon Liu Mengying first.

Death Omen Yuan You, he was determined to obtain it.

If you have nowhere to go, I could consider taking you in, taking the affinity between the host and you into account.

Wu Hen took the initiative to release Liu Mengying’s delicate hand, and his gaze changed noticeably...

This subtle movement was quickly picked up by Liu Mengying. She looked at Wu Hen, a flash of panic in her eyes.
