Chapter 1887: Holding Hands



Chapter 1887: Holding Hands

As soon as both sides emerged, they instantly began to rise to altitudes in excess of 1,000 meters as if this had been agreed upon in advance. Meanwhile, everyone else from both camps slowly retreated.

It could be said that this was the most epic battle in the history of the Douluo Continent aside from battles between gods. These three nine-on-one matches were going to decide the fate of the entire Douluo Star.

Tang Wulin currently wore a grim expression; he was still wondering why Demon Sovereign had agreed to his condition so quickly.

Right at this moment, a warm hand worked its way into his grasp. The hand was smooth as jade and soft as cotton, and it gently held onto his hand.

Tang Wulin faltered slightly before turning to discover Gu Yuena standing beside him, looking away as if she were distracted by something else.

Even though she was intentionally averting his gaze, the faint redness of her ears was a clear reflection of her shyness. This was the first time that she had made such a gesture in front of so many people. Everyone's attention was currently focused on the clash that was about to unfold, so no one noticed them, but this was still a very rare development.

A surge of warmth flowed into Tang Wulin's heart, and in that instant, all of his hesitation and concern completely faded away.

He had to win this battle for her, for his friends, for the entire Douluo Continent, for survival, for the good times that were just around the corner, and for the sake of finding his parents.

Regardless of what Demon Sovereign was plotting, it wouldn't make any difference in the face of absolute power. As long as she was by his side, he would face any obstacle with courage and determination.

He tightened his grip around Gu Yuena's hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yuena also smiled as she stood beside him, and it had been a very long time since she had smiled like this.

Finally, she was able to fight by his side again; she had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

In the sky above, the 18 combatants slowly separated from one another. At their level, all of them possessed immense combat prowess, and if they were gathered too close, their battles would be sure to impact others.

There was no referee in this match; perhaps the only referee would be death!

Guan Yue slowly raised his Sky Crossing Divine Spear and pointed it directly forward. Standing in front of him was the middle-aged man with the eerie skull eyes, and currently, there was a very peculiar yellow light shimmering within those eyes, striking the onlooker with a sense of disorientation.

In the next instant, the middle-aged man swept a hand through the air, and all of the powerful abyssal beings beside him sprang forth in unison.

The Hornet Sovereign's compound eyes were glowing as one streak of light after another shot forth toward the Battle Gods.

These streaks of light weren't ordinary Abyssal Bomber Hornets anymore. Instead, they were streaks of extremely thin needle-like blue light, and they were completely silent as they flew through the air.

In fact, one could easily miss these streaks of light if they weren't paying particular attention to them.

Over on the human side, Mo Zihong had already taken a seat with his legs crossed in mid-air, and his Demonic Zither was sitting across his lap.

He gently stroked the strings of the zither, and a pleasant yet rousing melody was being played.

Each note that was played was very deliberate and melodious, like the beating of a war drum, and not only was it sparking the battle intent among all allies, it was exerting enormous pressure on the enemy.

Invisible soundwaves swept forth as the zither was being played, surging directly toward the countless streaks of blue light.

A string of violent explosions instantly erupted, and the explosive power being produced by the streaks of blue light was even more fierce than the explosion of soul missiles. Enormous energy fluctuations erupted in all directions, and despite the fact that the streaks of blue light were far smaller than Abyssal Bomber Hornets, their explosive power was far superior.

During the battle prior to this, the Hornet Sovereign had never employed this ability; only now was she unleashing her true power.

Even though some of the streaks of blue light had been detonated, the others seemed to have been completely unaffected as they flew rapidly toward the human camp.

At the same time, the powerful abyssal beings also arrived, seizing the initiative and unleashing a full-frontal assault.

Right at this moment, Ao Rui pointed a finger upward, and a scintillating sun appeared above his head.

Countless tiny specks of light shot out of the artificial sun, and the scorching air currents they created instantly detonated countless streaks of blue light.

Violent energy currents began to wreak havoc across the entire sky, and the resulting shockwaves temporarily created a barrier between the 18 combatants on the battlefield.

The formidable energy storm had turned the entire sky a bluish-golden color, and the entire core circle of the northernmost region seemed to be trembling.

Tang Wulin was looking directly at Demon Sovereign, and she was also looking back at him. For some reason, the sight of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena holding hands evoked an uncontrollable negative emotion within her; it was envy!

Once upon a time, she had also had a husband to rely on, but ever since Tang San killed her husband, her happiness was robbed from her.

With that in mind, intense killing intent welled up in Demon Sovereign's heart, and she wanted nothing better than to rush over to Tang Wulin right away and tear him to shreds with her bare hands.

Thankfully, the medicine developed by the Spirit Pagoda had allowed her to regain control over her own emotions. Otherwise, she would've most likely already thrown herself at Tang Wulin.

As agreed upon, the abyssal passageway down below had indeed been sealed, just as it had been directly following the Eternal Heaven strike.

Even if the abyssal creatures were to try and reopen the passageway, it would undoubtedly take them some time, and that time would be enough for Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena to devour any abyssal energy that appeared if the humans were to gain the upper hand.

Thus far, Demon Sovereign had remained true to her word.

Meanwhile, there was a pair of furious eyes trained on Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena from a distance.

Everyone was looking up at the battle in the sky, but he only had eyes for a single person.

As she witnessed Gu Yuena slay the Spirit Sovereign and multiple abyssal emperors, he was genuinely excited and even immensely proud.

However, the sight of Gu Yuena voluntarily offering her hand to Tang Wulin immediately sparked scorching jealousy in his heart, and this jealousy quickly spread to occupy the entirety of his mind like a wildfire on a parched grassland.
