Chapter 171 Passionate Kiss
“Now, my dear,” Wang Jian spoke with an unabashed grin, “we find ourselves concealed from the gaze of the world. There is no need for shyness. Come forth and fulfil your part.”
His words carried an undeniable allure, simultaneously tempting and sinister.
Hong Meilin’s heart raced as she stood face-to-face with Wang Jian, her eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and uncertainty. In a swift and determined motion, she closed the distance between them, her body leaning forward, and her lips softly pressing against his. However, the kiss lacked the passion that Wang Jian desired, leaving him unmoved.
Wang Jian’s voice broke the silence, his tone calm yet firm. “Your kiss lacks the fire I seek, Hong Meilin. I agreed to save the bishops on the condition of a passionate kiss, one that would stir the depths of my being. But what I felt just now falls short of my expectations.”
Fury burned within Hong Meilin’s eyes as she retorted, her voice laced with indignation. “You’re going back on your word! This is nothing but a ploy to take advantage of me!”
Wang Jian met her gaze steadily, his voice unwavering. “I am a man of my word. I won’t move until I feel the intensity of your kiss, until it sets my heart ablaze.”
Determined to fulfil her mission, Hong Meilin gathered her resolve. She kissed him again, pouring all her emotions into the act, hoping to ignite the passion that Wang Jian desired. But despite her efforts, the outcome remained unchanged, leaving her frustrated and filled with a mix of anger and resignation.
Their argument escalated as Hong Meilin’s voice grew louder, her words fueled by a sense of injustice. “How dare you play with my feelings like this! You have no right to demand such things from me!”
With a calm demeanor, Wang Jian responded, his voice steady and resolute. “I have my reasons, Hong Meilin. Until I feel the fire in your kiss, I won’t budge. The fate of the bishops hangs in the balance.”
Reluctantly, Hong Meilin pressed her lips against his once more, hoping that this time she could muster the passion Wang Jian desired. Yet, the result remained the same, leaving her disheartened and grappling with conflicting emotions.
As the cycle repeated for the eighth time, Hong Meilin found herself gradually growing accustomed to the sensation of kissing Wang Jian. The initial repulsion she had felt was replaced by a strange acceptance, driven by her determination to save the bishops.
Noticing the change in her demeanor, Wang Jian decided it was time to put an end to their ordeal. He spoke with a mix of resolution and demand. “Hong Meilin, allow me to kiss you passionately. In that moment, you must silence any protests or cries that may arise.”
Anger surged through Hong Meilin’s veins, her voice laced with defiance. “This is preposterous! You are just messing with me!”
Wang Jian responded, “This will be the last one, but only on the condition that you do not protest at all.”
“β¦I have no choice since this is the only way to save the bishops,” Hong Meilin muttered to herself.
Reluctantly, Hong Meilin acquiesced to Wang Jian’s demand, knowing that the burden of the bishops’ lives rested on her actions. With a mixture of anger and resignation, she braced herself for the passionate kiss that awaited her.
As Wang Jian leaned in to kiss her, Hong Meilin’s heart raced. This would be the defining moment, the kiss that would either seal their fate or leave them forever divided. With a mixture of anger, frustration, and a hint of trepidation, she braced herself for what was to come.
Their lips met once more, but this time, it was different. Wang Jian’s kiss was passionate, intense, and all-consuming. He didn’t hold back, his tongue gently intertwining with hers as his hands wandered across her body, eliciting a range of sensations that Hong Meilin couldn’t ignore.
In that moment, surrounded by the heat of their connection, time seemed to stand still. The world faded into the background as their desires collided, leaving an indelible mark on both their souls. It was a kiss that surpassed all expectations, igniting a flame of longing and awakening something deep within them.
As they finally parted, their breaths mingling, Hong Meilin was left breathless and emotionally stirred. Wang Jian’s gaze held a mix of satisfaction and longing, mirroring her own conflicting emotions.
“I wanted something like that,” Wang Jian declared, his voice laced with a devilish smirk that sent shivers down Hong Meilin’s spine. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he held her gaze, the intensity of his desire evident.
As their passionate encounter ended, the fiery vortex surrounding them dissipated, revealing the chaotic battleground where the bishops fought valiantly against Aiden. The air crackled with raw energy, and the sounds of clashing weapons and desperate cries filled the air.
Seizing the opportune moment, Wang Jian swiftly unsheathed his gleaming sword, its blade shimmering with a dangerous brilliance. With a determined stride, he advanced toward Aiden, his eyes fixed on the formidable foe.
The bishops, weary from their relentless battle, glimpsed a glimmer of hope as Wang Jian intervened, cutting through the crashing wave of a tsunami with his formidable blade. His gaze locked onto Aiden, unwavering and filled with determination.
“You shall face me!” Wang Jian’s voice echoed through the tumultuous battlefield, his words both a challenge and a proclamation. He raised the Tyrannical Sovereign’s Blade, its power radiating like a beacon of defiance against the demon’s power.
Aiden’s eyes gleamed with arrogance as it observed the gleaming blade before it. The demon’s lips curled into a smirk, relishing the opportunity presented to it. With a wicked chuckle, it taunted Wang Jian with mocking words.
“What a foolish human you are! You came here to offer me that precious blade. Hahahaha…”
Aiden’s voice dripped with derision, a confident sneer adorning its face as it basked in the presence of the Emperor Ranked weapon.
The allure of such a rare and powerful artifact was not lost on the demon.
Wang Jian’s response was laced with a dry and dismissive tone, his voice carrying a hint of contempt for his adversary. “You overestimate your worth, demon. This blade is not a gift but a means to cleave through your arrogant existence.”
With a swift motion, Wang Jian ignited his Qi, infusing his body with the Laws of Flame. Flames erupted around him, casting an ethereal glow that illuminated his determined features. As he took his first step, the ground trembled beneath him, an echo of his unwavering resolve.
Aiden’s demonic energy surged, transforming the battlefield into a maelstrom of darkness and fury. The demon’s form became shrouded in an aura of malevolence, its power radiating with each passing moment.
Without wasting another breath, Aiden launched itself into action, summoning a massive tidal wave infused with demonic energy. The wave crashed towards Wang Jian with devastating force, but the human swordsman remained steadfast.
With a swift flick of his wrist, Wang Jian unleashed the Starry Night Sky Strike, a technique that combined the speed and precision of his swordsmanship with the intensified power of the Laws of Flame.
His blade cut through the tidal wave, parting it like a celestial comet tearing through the night sky.
The clash of their powers reverberated through the battlefield, the force of their attacks sending shockwaves rippling across the ground.
Aiden, undeterred, retaliated with the Abyssal Torrent Palm, launching a swirling vortex of dark water infused with demonic energy towards Wang Jian.
With deft agility, Wang Jian executed the Moonshadow Step, a movement technique that allowed him to evade the oncoming torrent.
As the vortex passed by him, he seized the opportunity to counter with the Serene Moonlight Slash, a swift and precise strike that carried the scorching intensity of deadly flames.
Their battle intensified, each exchange of blows unleashing a storm of power and skill. Aiden unleashed the Demonic Deluge Barrage, showering Wang Jian with relentless barrages of concentrated energy.
The human swordsman’s Endless Blade Defense provided him with an impenetrable shield, deflecting each onslaught with impeccable timing and control.
Wang Jian retaliated with the Swift Silver Stab, a lightning-fast thrust of his blade that pierced through Aiden’s defenses with precision and finesse.
The clash of their techniques filled the air, a symphony of clash and collision, as the two combatants pushed the limits of their abilities.
As the battle raged on, Aiden’s boasting grew louder, its voice laced with a mix of arrogance and superiority.
“You think you can stand against me, a demon of the protector rank? I am a pinnacle of power in my devil clan, a rank bestowed upon the chosen few. Your human limitations pale in comparison!” πππππ€ππποΌππ€π’
Wang Jian’s response was curt, his voice filled with a touch of biting sarcasm. “Protector rank, you say? What an illustrious title for one who revels in mediocrity. Your devil clan’s standards must be laughably low if they consider you an epitome of power.”
Aiden, infuriated by Wang Jian’s mockery, unleashed a surge of dark energy, enveloping its form in a malevolent aura. It glared at Wang Jian with burning eyes, the air around it crackling with demonic power.
“Interesting. I didn’t think you still had that much energy left in store,” he remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice. His cheeky look betrayed his confidence as he continued, “Fortunately, I was also holding back.”
With a flicker of determination in his eyes, Wang Jian ignited his Qi once more, infusing his body with the magnificent Laws of Flame.
Flames erupted around him, casting an ethereal glow that illuminated his features. The intensity of his flame-imbued Qi clashed against Aiden’s demonic energy, creating a fierce contest of power.
Aiden, fueled by its demonic prowess, summoned the Demonic Deluge Barrage, launching relentless barrages of concentrated energy at Wang Jian.
The onslaught came crashing down like a tempestuous downpour, but Wang Jian’s Endless Blade Defense emerged as an impenetrable shield.
He deflected each onslaught with impeccable timing and control, his blade dancing in the air as he countered with the Swift Silver Stab.
Wang Jian’s lightning-fast thrust pierced through Aiden’s defenses with precision and finesse, causing the demon to recoil in pain. The clash of their techniques filled the air, a symphony of clash and collision, as they pushed the limits of their abilities.
Aiden, infuriated by Wang Jian’s display of skill, channeled its fury into the Abyssal Whirlpool Kick.
It performed a spinning kick, summoning a swirling vortex of dark water and demonic energy. The vortex sought to engulf Wang Jian, trapping him in a relentless whirlpool of destruction.
However, Wang Jian swiftly evaded the attack, his Moonshadow Step allowing him to gracefully evade the oncoming whirlpool.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Jian retaliated with the Serene Moonlight Slash, a swift and precise strike that carried the scorching intensity of deadly flames.
His blade sliced through the air with incredible speed, leaving behind a trail of searing flames. The impact of his strike reverberated through Aiden’s form, causing the demon to stagger.
Their battle intensified, each exchange of blows pushing them to their limits. Aiden, refusing to back down, unleashed the Tempestuous Torrent Punch, a rapid barrage of punches imbued with the chaotic energy of a raging storm. Each punch released a surge of demonic water that pummeled Wang Jian with unrelenting force.
But Wang Jian, displaying his mastery, unleashed the Endless Blade Defense once again, deflecting the onslaught with flawless precision.
His movements were a testament to his skill, his sword becoming an extension of his body as he countered with the Starry Night Sky Strike.
The technique combined the speed and precision of his swordsmanship with the intensified power of the Laws of Flame.
Wang Jian’s blade cut through the air, parting it like a celestial comet tearing through the night sky.
The sheer force of his strike collided with Aiden’s demonic energy, creating shockwaves that rippled through the battlefield.
As the battle raged on, Aiden’s initial confidence began to waver. The demon realized that Wang Jian’s skill and power surpassed its expectations.
Sensing its imminent defeat, Aiden decided to resort to a desperate tactic, targeting the vulnerable humans on the battlefield.
With a malevolent grin, Aiden gathered its demonic energy, merging it with the power of the surrounding water.
Dark clouds converged overhead as the atmosphere crackled with anticipation.
In a twisted symphony of chaos, Aiden unleashed the Cataclysmic Deluge, a powerful technique that combined water and demonic attributes.
The devastating attack encompassed a vast area, threatening to annihilate both humans and demons alike.
Aiden revelled in the prospect of their destruction, believing that victory would be assured.
Wang Jian knew that he had to act swiftly to protect those under his charge. With a deep breath, he channelled his innermost strength, drawing upon the Laws of Flame.
In a blaze of awe-inspiring power, Wang Jian unleashed the Inferno Ascendance.
This ultimate flame technique engulfed him in a swirling vortex of scorching heat and ethereal flames. The intensity of the flames defied comprehension as they danced and flickered with an otherworldly glow.
As the Cataclysmic Deluge approached, Wang Jian met it head-on with his Inferno Ascendance.
The clash of fire and water was a spectacle of epic proportions, with steam and smoke billowing into the air, and the ground quaking beneath the sheer force of their collision.
The Inferno Ascendance proved its might, overwhelming the Cataclysmic Deluge with its searing intensity.
The flames consumed the dark water, transforming it into steam that dissipated into the atmosphere. The threat to the humans was neutralized, leaving Aiden stunned and vulnerable.
Wang Jian, now wreathed in the remnants of the Inferno Ascendance, fixed his gaze upon Aiden with unwavering determination.
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the crackling flames and the heavy breathing of the combatants.
“I hope you’ve learned your lesson, demon,” Wang Jian’s voice resonated with a newfound intensity.
Aiden, whose once cocky demeanor had been replaced by a flicker of fear, could only muster a feeble response amidst the overwhelming turn of events. “Impossible… This cannot be!”
Before Aiden could regain his composure or launch another technique, Wang Jian, capitalizing on the moment, employed the graceful Moonshadow Step to close the distance between them in a blink of an eye.
His fist, infused with the intensified laws of Flames, surged forward in a devastating strike known as the Origin Fist.
The impact of Wang Jian’s Origin Fist landed squarely on Aiden’s head, causing a violent tremor to reverberate through its entire body.
The sheer power of the Laws of Flame engulfed the demon, leaving a portion of its head burned to ashes.
Thankfully, the majority of its head survived the destructive force, though its consciousness swiftly faded, succumbing to the overwhelming blow.
With Aiden’s defeat, the remaining demons lost their morale, and their confidence shattered by the fall of their formidable leader.
The tide of battle swiftly turned as Wang Jian’s faction seized the opportunity to mercilessly slaughter the disheartened demons. Many attempted to flee, only to meet their demise at the hands of the prepared and ruthless Xie Family.
Now, Wang Jian and his allies stood victorious, having captured Aiden and a few of his subordinates.
The battle had come to a close, leaving behind a trail of carnage and the spoils of victory. However, amidst the triumph, a mysterious cave beckoned to them, promising untold wonders.
If Bixi Shuyan’s instincts were to be trusted, this cave likely held some rare and powerful treasures.
