CHAPTER 757: CHAPTER 680: ASCEND TO THE PEAK 79

The thing that leaves the Demon Clan resentful and helpless is that they can do nothing about Tan Shuangshuang. With Tan Shuangshuang’s current cultivation, even the highest-level Martial Sect of the Demon Clan on the battlefield cannot defeat her. Several attempts to surround and kill Tan Shuangshuang ended with her counterattacking and killing them instead, sending several Martial Sect level Demon Clan cores to them.

Unlike the Demon Clan’s predicament, the demon cultivators on Tan Shuangshuang’s side are thriving due to the countless Demon Clan cores gifted by her. Their cultivation is going extremely well, with breakthroughs every few days. Even more despairing for the Demon Clan is the fact that several martial sects have emerged among the demon cultivators.

The breakthroughs of demon cultivator martial sects require not only heart realm but also Yin Qi. It can be said that for demon cultivators who have long been unable to break through, they lack nothing in terms of heart realm and only need massive amounts of Yin Qi for advancement. Fortunately, the Martial Sect level Demon Clan cores can substitute this vast amount of Yin Qi to aid their progress.

These demon cultivator martial sect breakthroughs were possible due to Tan Shuangshuang’s gifted Martial Sect level Demon Clan cores, allowing them the chance to advance. Demon cultivators naturally counter the Demon Clan, and with so many demon cultivator martial sects breaking through recently, the continuous losses of the Demon Clan on the battlefield were inevitable.

Tan Shuangshuang’s relationship with these demon cultivators has grown exceptionally close. Their respect for her is so immense that they would obey her commands unconditionally with just a word.

Although Tan Shuangshuang knew about the Demon Clan battle news in her past life, the state rarely publicized the battlefield situation to maintain morale, so no one knew the extent of the heavy casualties humans and magic beasts suffered in their battles, nor how the Demon Clan had pushed their lines far forward.

In this life, thanks to Tan Shuangshuang’s appearance and her joining the high-level cultivator battlefield, resulting in her killing many high-level Demon Clan members, especially those at the Martial Sect level, the Demon Clan suffered continuous defeats, pushing their lines further back repeatedly.

No one, including Tan Shuangshuang herself, truly knows how many lives she has saved due to her solo efforts. How significant the ripple effect of her butterfly wings truly is remains unknown.

At this moment, unaware of the changes she has brought forth, Tan Shuangshuang is munching on a meat bun, leaving the camp to check on Fei Hu and Bai Sheng with the magic beasts, only to run into three unexpected faces as soon as she steps outside the tent’s door!

Leading the group is Tan Feiyu, whose features become increasingly handsome and demeanor more composed. However, at the sight of Tan Shuangshuang, this seemingly steady young man breaks into a joyous grin, rushing forward to grab Tan Shuangshuang’s hands with evident delight on his face.

"Sister Shuangshuang, are you surprised to see me? Isn’t it unexpected? I missed you terribly during these years without seeing you. I’ve been working hard on cultivation and have now become a Great Martial Artist! Aren’t I progressing fast?" As usual, demanding praise.

Tan Shuangshuang indeed feels delighted but is momentarily dazed by the sight of Liang Ziqian with his sharp and handsome appearance in a sapphire martial arts uniform with a vestment robe, followed by Hua Qingcheng, whose true beauty has blossomed like a national treasure.

To her surprise, she finds she’s already reached the time of her death in her previous life! Battlefield time is too blurry; everyone only remembers fighting, resting, and sustaining life, forgetting the passage of time entirely.

Tan Shuangshuang has long tossed aside the events of her previous life, unable to remember. Now, she merely recovers from her daze and looks at the ever-close Tan Feiyu, smiling and praising, "Feiyu is indeed wonderful, cultivating quickly!"

After speaking, Tan Shuangshuang greets Liang Ziqian casually, showing neither warmth nor coldness, while Liang Ziqian’s expression appears complex upon looking at her. He once thought he was a talent side by side with Tan Shuangshuang, yet reality proved she had left him behind long ago.

While he was painstakingly cultivating in the sect, she had already become a high-level cultivator fighting the Demon Clan to protect her home. By the time he joined the battlefield as a high-level cultivator to contribute, she had already made a name for herself, feared by the Demon Clan.

In just a short time after arriving here, Liang Ziqian has already heard countless praised stories of Tan Shuangshuang from many people.

Everyone in the military camp admires her, even the solitary demon cultivators praise her and are immensely grateful. Never has Liang Ziqian so clearly recognized that this person, who was once his fiancée, now stands at a position he needs to look up to.

Compared to Liang Ziqian, Hua Qingcheng’s emotions towards Tan Shuangshuang are far more complex. Her feelings encompass envy, jealousy, and a hint of unacknowledged hostility she cannot account for.

Especially seeing Liang Ziqian, who was chasing after her but now focuses on Tan Shuangshuang. What’s more important is the former marriage contract between Tan Shuangshuang and Liang Ziqian, which although implicitly annulled after Tan Shuangshuang joined the battlefield, still bothers Hua Qingcheng.

Although Liang Ziqian repeatedly explained during his pursuit of her that his marriage contract with Tan Shuangshuang was irrelevant, Tan Shuangshuang’s excellence was too prominent for Hua Qingcheng to overlook, particularly noticing Liang Ziqian’s focused gaze on Tan Shuangshuang right now, stirring countless sour feelings within her.

Hua Qingcheng steps forward, blocking Liang Ziqian’s sight of Tan Shuangshuang, and smiles charmingly at her, saying, "It’s been a while, Miss Tan’s cultivation has grown even deeper. Seems like the battlefield indeed trains a person. I hope Ziqian and I can similarly refine ourselves on the battlefield. Speaking of which, Ziqian was worried for my safety alone in the battlefield, so he kept helping me with cultivation, which delayed his own progress."

Upon hearing Hua Qingcheng’s words, Tan Shuangshuang wrinkles her brow. Though it sounded like flaunting affection, it felt uncomfortable, full of provocation and declaration of ownership over her and Liang Ziqian’s relationship, as if she were an adversary due to her past marriage engagement with Liang Ziqian, inexplicably annoying.

Tan Feiyu, walking together with Liang Ziqian and Hua Qingcheng, because the Tan Family and Liang Family have good relations, embarked on the battlefield together, naturally forming companionship.

Though aware that Hua Qingcheng and Liang Ziqian are together, Tan Feiyu was unbothered knowing Tan Shuangshuang’s marriage contract with Liang Ziqian was initially insignificant, therefore indifferent to Liang Ziqian being with another woman. Yet, what is Hua Qingcheng’s intention?

Reflecting like this, the now composed Tan Feiyu did not question Hua Qingcheng’s actions but directly looked at Liang Ziqian, his gaze filled with doubt and disapproval, making Liang Ziqian’s face flush.
