Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Ruanruan Cries Out "I Won’t Marry, I Won’t Marry!

Huo Yunjiao hugged Qin Ruan’s waist and pulled her into his arms, gripping her hand to steadily insert the nine incense sticks into the burner, his movements fierce and forceful.

Qin Ruan witnessed with her own eyes, in the incense burner, how the nine incense sticks of hers and Third Master’s intertwined into inseparable coils of smoke, the azure twirls of incense releasing a mysterious aura, the scent intoxicating and alluring, as she faintly heard cheers of success in her ears.

Before she could further investigate, a sharp pain emerged on her shoulder as if someone was pricking her skin with a needle.

The moment Qin Ruan’s nine incense sticks were securely placed in the burner, the barrier set by Ming Tianheng and Chu Zifeng was shattered by the descending thunderbolts.

"Booming!"

The first divine punishment of thunder to intrude the barrier fell directly upon Huo Yunjiao, who, sensing the impending danger, pushed away Qin Ruan in his arms at the first chance he got.

Regrettably, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t outpace the fierce strike of the thunder.

Half of Qin Ruan’s body was still in his embrace, both experiencing the soul-shaking tremor of the divine punishment, their scalps numbing, sharp pain sweeping through their bodies, as if they had been cleaved open, terrifying and soul-stirring.

"Ah!!"

Qin Ruan couldn’t hold back the pain and cried out loud.

At her cry, Xia Yunchen immediately rushed over, followed closely by the fifty-two ancient Divine Beasts from his tribe.

Before another bolt could strike, Xia Yunchen snatched Qin Ruan from Huo Yunjiao’s arms.

Following that, thick strikes of lightning continued to fall upon Huo Yunjiao, his already pale face turning almost translucent.

"Master!"

"My Lord!!"

"Third Master!!!"

Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan, Huo Zhi, Lin Hao, and others who were fortunate enough to be at the wedding shouted desperately.

Being outside the barrier, they could not break in and could only anxiously stand by.

Huo Zhi even used his personal weapon, firing continuously, but to no avail, as the bullets dropped to the ground at the edge of the barrier.

Ming Tianheng and Chu Zifeng, among others, were also shouting anxiously; although inside the barrier, they couldn’t approach their lord and could only watch Huo Yunjiao being struck by thunder one after another.

"Third Master!!"

The last to cry out, heart-wrenchingly, was Qin Ruan.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the man standing at the desk, watched as he held onto the table to keep his proud stature, watched him teeter on the brink of falling every time the lightning struck him.

The stars in the night sky were obscured by dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, a series of thick bolts fell from heaven, each accurately targeting Huo Yunjiao.

Qin Ruan silently observed as his hair grew from short to long, thousands of strands lifted and flared behind him by the force of the lightning, a bright shade of blood spreading from the tightly pressed corners of his lips.

But through it all, he never uttered a sound, his gaze wild and cold.

Qin Ruan cried, tears streaming down her face, as she shouted loudly, "I don’t want to marry, I don’t want to marry!!!"

The moment she voiced her refusal, Huo Yunjiao fiercely turned around, the ferocity still lingering in his eyes, his gaze like a cold blade piercing Qin Ruan.

Seeing her tear-streaked, disheveled appearance, his blood-stained enticing lips curled into a faint arc.

Huo Yunjiao spoke with a firm tone, "Aruan, you are already married to me."

He had promised to marry her; how could she not marry him?

Now that the marriage ritual was completed, only facing the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, falling thunder was his to bear.

It was already too late for Qin Ruan to say she wouldn’t marry.

From then on, their fates would be entwined, life after life.

Qin Ruan struggled hard against Xia Yunchen’s restraint on her arms, her feet earnestly shuffling forward.

She wanted to get closer to Huo Yunjiao, to hold him tightly.

Xia Yunchen could never allow her to be affected by the thunder punishment; he intensified his grip.

Qin Ruan cried out, tears blurring her eyes, only able to see Huo Yunjiao’s hazy figure, her voice trembling as she pleaded, "Enough, it’s enough, Third Master— let’s go back!"

She struggled in Xia Yunchen’s embrace like a madwoman, tears streaming from her eyes as she screamed, "Let me go, let go of me!"

"Aruan!"

Xia Yunchen shouted into her ear, trying to awaken her reason.

Another bolt of thunder punishment gathered in the night sky, and Qin Ruan, completely drained of strength, leaned into Xia Yunchen’s embrace, crying and shaking her head as she shouted, "I won’t listen, I won’t marry, Third Master, come over, let’s go back, go back..."

In her subconscious, she believed that everything happening before her was due to the earlier bonding ritual.

If the price to be paid was for Huo Yunjiao to endure bolt after bolt of bone-eroding, marrow-seeping thunder pain, she’d rather not have it!

She had personally experienced the first thunder calamity, which spread from the heart to the whole body, the pain of tearing through mountains so intense she almost cried out.

Another powerful thunder punishment descended from the sky.

Qin Ruan watched as a column of purple-blue lightning, as thick as a wash basin, streaked directly towards Huo Yunjiao; her eyes nearly burst, her tear-streaked face distorted into a terrifying mask, her whole being in a frenzied state.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were firmly closed as he calmly faced the thunder punishment that sought to end his life.

"Cough cough..."

Before the lightning struck, he coughed lightly, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Just as the thick column of lightning struck, a shadow lunged in front of him.

Xia Yunchen forcefully pushed Huo Yunjiao away, sending him towards Qin Ruan, then looked up with disdain and proudly faced the fatal blow.

"Divine Monarch!"

"Master!"

Song Qing, Changyuan, and the others rushed forward like mad.

The Divine Monarch was now in human flesh; he couldn’t withstand the thunder calamity.

But they were still a step too late, Xia Yunchen took the strike with his flesh.

The purple-blue powerful thunder punishment pierced through his limbs, striking directly at his heart, stopping the heartbeat abruptly as he fell forward, his knees buckling and trembling as they hit the ground.

In the nick of time, Changyuan transformed into his Hook Snake true form to support Xia Yunchen’s body, recklessly transferring overwhelming Demonic Energy.

The thunder punishment did not cease; it conscientiously pursued Huo Yunjiao.

Seeing another bolt of lightning descending from the sky, Huo Yunjiao knew it was nearly over; he pushed hard against Qin Ruan, who clung tightly to his arm.

"No! Don’t push me away!" Qin Ruan wanted to join him in death, holding onto his arm for dear life.

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was stern as he shouted, "Ruanruan be good, there’s a child in your belly."

Hearing about the child, Qin Ruan momentarily lost focus, and Huo Yunjiao forcefully pushed her away.

The thunder punishment descended once more, merging with Huo Yunjiao’s body.

"Phew!"

Blood sprayed from his mouth again, more than before.

Huo Yunjiao clutched his chest, feeling his heartbeat grow fainter in his palm.

His face darkened, no longer passively accepting his fate; he looked up with a cold gaze toward the sky, his body releasing strong golden light, a pervasive aura of death spreading rapidly around him.

He was the Lord of Fengdu, the master of myriad gods and spirits; had it not been for Aruan’s life-threatening ordeal, he would have contended with the Heaven and Earth Laws long ago.

His previous non-resistance was to avoid a confrontation, but the Heavenly Dao clearly sought to put him to death, to drive him from the Human Realm.

With Aruan facing a deadly calamity, how could he leave with peace of mind?

Qin Ruan wanted to step forward and join him in life and death but could not withstand the fluctuations of the powerful Nether Power; tears in her beautiful eyes, she slowly closed them, her body tipping backward as she fell.
