Chapter 1151: May 16: Fission!_3

"I’m sorry, Lanling, I will never compromise," Nini’an said, then swung her great sword down forcefully!

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the air!

The rocks behind them abruptly split open, and a terrifying, fiery crimson serpent burst forth, baring its horrifying, gaping maw at Nini’an and Lanling.

This giant serpent was covered with countless legs.

Its open maw was lined with innumerable teeth.

"The Rot Fiend Giant Serpent..." Nini’an gasped in shock.

This kind of serpent was exceedingly rare and unimaginably fearsome.

First, it had an incredibly sturdy body, nearly invulnerable to blades and weapons.

Even if you possessed immense strength and managed to cut it in half, it would still live—splitting into two snakes instead.

Even more revolting was the fact that its saliva and blood were potent, deadly acids, capable of instantly corroding through anything they touched.

"Roar..."

The terrifying serpent bared its maw at the pair, emitting a series of ferocious screeches.

Its acidic spit rained down toward Nini’an like a deadly storm.

This was no ordinary acid—it was terrifyingly potent. Even though Nini’an was a Descendant of the demon Dinah, if she were hit by the acid, she wouldn’t just face death; she would be disfigured permanently, her body irreparably ruined, reduced to a hideous monstrosity.

She tried to flee, but her speed was nothing compared to the monster’s acidic assault.

She attempted to block with her sword, but how could mere steel shield against such a torrential rain of corrosive saliva?

Helpless, she could only watch in despair as her beauty and her body were about to be devastated, crying out in horror.

Just then, Lanling suddenly dove at her, knocking her to the ground, using his massive body to shield Nini’an against the serpent’s venomous acid.

"Splatter..."

Instantly, the horrifying acid splashed onto Lanling’s back.

"Aah..." Lanling let out a piercing, heart-wrenching scream as his flesh was corroded away, leaving his body riddled with holes!

To protect her, Lanling endured the serpent’s brutal acid, his body reduced to a bloody, mangled state.

"Roar! Roar!" Meanwhile, the seven-to-eight-meter-long Rot Fiend Giant Serpent slithered rapidly, moving quickly over the volcanic stone platform as it spewed saliva wildly, snapping viciously.

Wherever its spit landed, everything, whether stone slabs or Lanling’s body, was corroded into a ghastly, pitiful state.

Under the protection of Lanling’s body, Nini’an could only scream in terror.

The horror of the creature was indescribable; once covered in its saliva or blood, her once radiant beauty and alluring figure would be completely destroyed.

"Crack, crack..." The stone platform they were on, stretched precariously above the lava, began to shatter under the strain of the corrosion.

When it broke, Nini’an would plunge into the molten lava below and be burned alive.

A Descendant of the demon Dinah might possess exceptional bloodlines, but even her lineage couldn’t save her from the lava’s deadly fate. Back then, her parents had to lift her far away to save her life.

And now, the horrific serpent opened its massive maw once more, preparing to swallow Lanling and Nini’an whole.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..." Nini’an screamed desperately, wailing uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Lanling dodged her grasp on the great sword and lunged toward the monstrous serpent.

With his other hand, he grabbed Nini’an’s arm, and with all his strength, hurled her hard toward the outside of the volcanic crater.

"Ah..." Amidst her screams, Nini’an soared through the air, flying like a mist-enshrouded figure across the crater and landing on the nearby slope.

Then, she watched helplessly as Lanling, brandishing his sword, charged straight at the giant serpent.

The stone platform completely shattered.

The serpent coiled violently around Lanling’s body, and man and beast plunged into the abyss together!

"No... Lanling!" Nini’an cried out in anguish, rushing to the edge of the crater.

But she no longer saw any trace of Lanling’s figure—it was as if he had been consumed entirely by the giant snake.

"Boom!" A thunderous explosion erupted.

The Rot Fiend Giant Serpent crashed headlong into the molten magma.

With a sharp detonation, the magma below erupted, shooting several dozen meters into the air.

"Screech... Sssss..." The serpent shrieked and thrashed desperately, only to be burned alive by the magma.

And Lanling had long since vanished without a trace!

"Lanling... Lanling..." Nini’an knelt at the edge of the volcanic crater, shouting desperately, searching frantically!

...

Everything unfolded too quickly!

But it left Nini’an profoundly shaken, her soul deeply impacted!

At the most critical moment, Lanling had sacrificed himself to protect her.

Du Yan, Yanggu, and Qiuju had all professed their love for her, claiming they were willing to give their lives for Nini’an.

Yet when faced with danger, none of them dared even participate in the Cavalry’s decisive charge!

Though Nini’an had repeatedly convinced herself that Du Yan and the others loved her selflessly, deep down she knew it was all a lie.

On the other hand, Lanling had never proclaimed grand declarations of love, nor said he would give his life for her.

But when it came time to choose, he had been willing to sacrifice everything to protect her.

A man like this would rather die than betray his family.

Nini’an’s heart was shaken and troubled, overwhelmed by the magnitude of her emotional transformation!

She collapsed near the volcano’s edge, calling out loudly!

At this moment, she desperately prayed for Lanling to once again defy the odds, to once again appear alive before her.

But after shouting for a full two incense sticks’ time, the magma remained completely silent.

She lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, tears flooding her face.

No one knew how much time had passed!

Suddenly, Nini’an heard laughter.

She opened her eyes to see Lanling, standing there, entirely naked, his clothes completely gone, his body covered with countless scars.

His face was still breathtakingly handsome, though now marred by a gruesome wound.

At that moment, he was smiling at her—a mischievous, roguish smile.

"Am... Am I dreaming?" Nini’an suddenly flung herself at him, clutching Lanling tightly.

She wasn’t dreaming. Lanling’s body was battered, yet still burning with inexorable warmth.

Without hesitation, she pressed her lips to his.

The two embraced in a deep, fervent kiss.
