Chapter 275: Hua Honglou's Might

The earthstone heart, a treasure that could help him enter the Skysoar Realm, was extremely important for Liang Zhuangmin . Since Xiang Shaoyun was willing to yield it to him, his opinion of Xiang Shaoyun rose greatly, and he even had the urge to make Xiang Shaoyun his sworn brother .

The moment that thought crossed his mind, he voiced it, "Brother Xiang, we feel like the best of friends even though we have only just met . I am also greatly indebted to you for saving my life so many times . Are you willing to be my sworn brother?"

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected it coming, but it was worth having Liang Zhuangmin as a sworn brother due to his outstanding character . He nodded, "Of course . I had the same thought as well . "

"Haha, splendid . I, Liang Zhuangmin, hereby swear that Xiang Shaoyun is my sworn brother . From today onward, we will enjoy all blessings and endure all misfortunes together . If I go against this oath, may I die by having my heart pierced by a thousand arrows!" Liang Zhuangmin made a solemn oath .

With the same solemn tone, Xiang Shaoyun vowed, "I, Xiang Shaoyun, hereby swear that Liang Zhuangmin is my sworn brother . From today onward, we will enjoy all blessings and endure all misfortunes together . If I go against this oath, may the heavens strike me to death!"

"Hahaha! Since I am a few years older than you, you will have to call me big brother from now on," said Liang Zhuangmin joyously .

"Remember to take care of your little brother in the future, big brother," Xiang Shaoyun said with a smile .

"Of course I will . After this trip is over, I will charge straight into the Skysoar Realm . In the future when I become an Emperor, I will slaughter anyone who dares to bully my little brother," declared Liang Zhuangmin in a heroic manner .

Xiang Shaoyun could sense that Liang Zhuangmin was being sincere, and warmth covered his heart as a result . It had been a very long time since he had last felt something like this .  

This was a true friendship between brothers .

Meanwhile, an intense battle was unfolding at a location not too far from Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin . If Xiang Shaoyun was there, he would have been able to recognize that Hua Honglou and about a dozen Red House members were there .

They were currently engaged in a battle with about a few dozen ghostrunes . Not long ago, the Red House had harvested a soul spring . After Hua Honglou kept the soul spring away, they were surrounded by a group of ghostrunes .

She was currently trying to fight a way out with her people, but the number of ghostrunes kept increasing . Their incorporeal attacks were extremely hard to defend against, and a lot of Red House members were either seriously injured or dead .

"All of you, leave! I will watch your rear!" shouted Hua Honglou in desperation .

She danced about with her sword, sending numerous fiery sword energies toward the ghostrunes around her . She was strong, but none of the ghostrunes approached her . They only relied on their soul power to lift numerous objects before throwing them at her . Also, the runes on their wings seemed to be capable of inducing hallucinations, allowing them to attack and take advantage of any opponents who fell victim to their wings .

"Big sister, ignore us and leave by yourself!" said the Red House members .

"No! All of you, leave! This is an order!" said Hua Honglou with a frown .

As she spoke, she danced around avoiding the numerous attacks the ghostrunes were sending her way . Her fiery sword fluttered about, slicing everything flying toward her . However, some of the ghostrunes had terrifying soul power . The objects they threw had a might no weaker than the attacks of a peak Transformation Realm expert .

That was why Hua Honglou was the only one who had a hope of surviving the onslaught, and not the other Red House members . While Hua Honglou was distracted trying to protect her people, she was nearly hit .

What was annoying about these opponents was the fact that when she tried to approach and kill the ghostrunes, they took to the sky, rendering her completely helpless against them . After being on the defensive for a long while, numerous wounds were left on her body . More and more of the Red House members had fallen as well .

Of course, it was not like Hua Honglou had no harvest of her own . A few of the weaker ghostrunes had been killed by her as well . Some of the Red House members started using bows and arrows, forcing the ghostrunes to stay away from them .

They fought while retreating, and only about seven or eight of them survived to reach the borders of the three territories . This was a place with demonic beasts, and because of that, the ghostrunes did not dare to give chase any farther . Just as Hua Honglou and her group was about to rest, a group of people arrived noiselessly .

"Haha, looks like the Cloud Margin Pavilion people have gotten something," a brash laughter rang out .

Then, a group of people on devil blood bats appeared above the Red House people . It was obvious these were the people from the Devil Blood Society . There were about 20 of them, each dressed in a black martial outfit while emanating a sinister aura .

Hua Honglou raised her head and snorted, "We have not gotten anything, but we did notice a soul spring not far ahead in the territory of the ghostrunes . If you are interested, you might still make it there in time . "

"You are Hua Honglou from the Cloud Margin Pavilion?" asked the leader of the Devil Blood Society group .

He was wearing a half-mask that only revealed half his face . He was a peak Transformation Realm expert known as the Devil Face, and his status in the Devil Blood Society was second only to the Devil Fairy . Evidently, he wouldn't be much weaker than Hua Honglou .

"Yes," Hua Honglou nodded .

"People say that women with big tits are brainless, and it seems like you are no exception . Hand over the soul spring on you and have some fun with me . If you do that, I will spare you all . If not . . . hehe . . . don't blame us for being cruel," said Devil Face with a perverse laugh .

"Bastard! You dare insult our big sister? Come down here if you have the balls . I, Bei Renhua, shall personally cripple all of you!" shouted a man from the Red House .

This man was an eighth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, and he was no weaker than the four great guardians of the Lightning Alliance . He was also an admirer of Hua Honglou .

"Since you want to die, I shall fulfill your wish," said Devil Face with a sneer . The Devil Blood Society people then started landing .

Two of them charged at Bei Renhua on their mounts . Attacking from the air, they held an advantage over Bei Renhua . The other Devil Blood Society members also started attacking . Hua Honglou wanted to protect her people, but Devil Face stopped her .

"Piss off!" Hua Honglou shouted as she slashed her sword at him .

And thus, a battle erupted between the two . They were evenly matched, but since Hua Honglou was rather exhausted from snatching the soul spring earlier and had even suffered some internal injuries, she was quickly forced into a disadvantaged position .

The wails of her companions rang out repeatedly, and she tried to help them when she heard their miserable screams . The distraction allowed Devil Face to heavily hit her and send her flying .

"I wanted to play nice, but you refused . Well, today, let this young master experience how rape tastes like," said Devil Face as he walked toward Hua Honglou one step at a time, lust covering the entirety of his face .

As Hua Honglou had torn some of his clothing from the fight, some of her snow-white skin was bared to the outside world . That coupled with her plentiful peaks were incredibly capable of filling one with lust .

"Even if I have to die, I won't allow you to prevail!" shouted Hua Honglou, bracing herself for death .

Just as Devil Face was about to continue pressing on, a lazy voice rang out in the air, "You are this young master's maid . Without my approval, who dares to kill you?"
