Chapter 828: Strong Bloodline Bearers

Xu Yang seemed not to have expected that Yun Xiao would sacrifice so much for him, even her own life!

In that instant, Yun Xiao's position in Xu Yang's heart subtly changed.

In return, Xu Yang unleashed an even more furious power.

How could he allow a woman to stand in front of him?

In a flash, the exquisite treasure box on Xu Yang's body opened again, and time and space instantly froze.

It was an incredibly brief, fleeting moment of stillness.

But for Xu Yang, this momentary suspension of time and space allowed him to perform countless actions.

He swiftly moved Yun Xiao, who was standing in front of him, to a safe spot. Then, Xu Yang pointed at his brow, and in that same frozen instant, an infinite array of sword energies from the surrounding void instantly locked onto the Moonlight Girl's body.

The Law of the God of Light perfectly merged with the incredibly powerful Angelic Domain of the Fallen Angel.

A blend of light and darkness, angel and demon, Xu Yang finally unfurled his dual wings at this moment.

Half angel, yearning for light; half demon, drawn to darkness.

All his power manifested perfectly on the true form of the Jade Bone Divine Artifact, and this sword energy expanded to an unprecedented scale.

And when that fragile moment passed, the Moonlight Girl saw everything, and she was indeed momentarily stunned deep within her heart.

"A human as outstanding as you, if you weren't destined to be my enemy, I truly wouldn't bear to unleash my power upon you. Regrettably, this battle between us is a matter of fate."

Xu Yang gave a cold smile. "I've never feared challenges from any powerful force. To be honest, I don't want to be your enemy. You are as perfectly pure as moonlight, yet I don't understand why you are so determined to kill me here."

Xu Yang's words seemed to inadvertently touch the heart of the perfect maiden.

At that same moment, all the sword energies in the void struck the surface of the maiden's Lunar Halo, yet they were all instantly melted away.

"How is this possible!"

Xu Yang had not sensed any fluctuations of law energy from the halo around the girl's body in that previous moment. This meant that the girl was able to effortlessly melt all the sword energies purely with her innate power. According to Xu Yang's understanding, he had never encountered anyone who could block his sword energies without any external cultivation methods or techniques. This was almost theoretically incomprehensible.

"I know your mind is full of questions right now. To tell you the truth, all the powers you inherited from Yun Wangji and the Angel lineage are ineffective against me, because I am their daughter."

Upon hearing this revelation, Xu Yang was completely stunned.

He truly hadn't expected that Archangel Yuesiu and Yun Wangji had already produced offspring in Wuyue Heaven!

"How can this be? Lady Yuesiu never mentioned such a past between her and Yun Wangji!"

The indifference in the perfect girl's eyes intensified.

"That woman has long forgotten everything. She never gave me a single day of maternal warmth. I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years solely for the purpose of avenging myself against them! Perhaps I shouldn't have existed in this world at all. Vengeance is my only mission!"

Hearing the maiden speak, Xu Yang and Yun Xiao, who was not far away, felt a pang in their hearts and instinctively began to sympathize with the beautiful girl. She possessed everything every woman in the world could ever dream of.

Beauty, lineage, power...

Yet, she had never been enveloped by the warmth of emotion, living an empty, solitary existence for hundreds of thousands of years!

It seemed her soul was so pure that the defilement of the world had never touched her in the slightest.

However, Xu Yang and Yun Xiao simultaneously shared a common thought: what meaning did such a life truly hold in this world? Aside from being worshipped and revered as a god by mortals, her existence was a monumental tragedy in itself.

"To think you have such a past... For some reason, I can no longer bring myself to strike you. Since you are the bloodline of Yun Wangji and Yuesiu, it's even more impossible for me to let you fall by my hand. But if you insist on killing me, I am willing to bear all the resentment in your heart on behalf of those two, your parents."

With a sweep of his hand, Xu Yang retracted all the energy he had unleashed to suppress his opponent. Then, he used his own body to forcefully withstand the incomparably destructive strike from the pure and beautiful maiden.

"Xu Yang!!"

Yun Xiao, witnessing this scene with her own eyes but powerless to intervene, could only cry out in anguish. She did not believe Xu Yang could survive after enduring such a blow.

However, when all the commotion finally subsided, Yun Xiao was utterly dumbfounded.

Because she saw Xu Yang standing perfectly unharmed, even though the Moonlight Slash just now had been unleashed by the maiden without the slightest restraint. The perfectly pure and holy maiden before him couldn't fathom why such a situation had occurred.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! My Moonlight power is specifically designed to counter the powers of the Fallen Angels and Yun Wangji's Sword Dao! If there's only one person in this world who can kill you, it's me—no one else. So why, how, did you withstand my strongest attack and remain completely unharmed?!"

Xu Yang couldn't tell her that the Ancestral Dragon Father Armor on his body had long surpassed the limits of worldly power, perfectly nullifying the Moonlight Slash's attack.

He preferred to weave a benevolent lie at that moment, hoping to bring a touch of warmth to this perfect girl who lacked it.

"What you don't realize is that deep down, your parents have never forgotten your existence. It's just that both of them have their own missions, and even they couldn't stay together forever, let alone you, their bloodline. Perhaps your existence is precisely their greatest comfort to each other. As long as you live in this world, they will never feel despair. I inherited their powers, and naturally, within me is their yearning for you. Perhaps it's this special emotion that allows me to be immune to all your abilities; your moonlight cannot harm me in the slightest."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he gently raised his hand, aiming it precisely at the pale moonlight in the void.

In an instant, the brilliant moon glow seemed to respond to Xu Yang's summons, swiftly transforming into a cascading river of light that enveloped him completely.

Bathed in this comforting aura, the Moonlight Maiden finally shed tears.
