Siger Meiruo looked at the wall of fire that reached several meters high, a flicker of light in her eyes trembling slightly.

Rush out? With such a raging fire, even if she didn't get burned to death, she'd likely lose a layer of skin. But seeing the flames from the serpent gradually approach, her heart was in a frenzy!

"Let's rush out, or it'll really be too late!"

Kingston let out an urgent roar!

"Alright, rush out!"

Siger Meiruo finally made up her mind, shouting decisively!

The few of them supported each other, looking at the raging blaze in front of them, faces flushed, eyes determined. Then, following Kingston, they charged forward together!

It was right at that moment!

With a booming sound!

The scorching blaze serpent, carrying endless heat, surged from behind, with flames shooting up into the sky. All the plants turned to black ashes!

"Sister Meiruo!"

Xige Zhuxue turned her head while running and saw, to her horror, the blaze serpent widening its massive jaws, ready to devour Siger Meiruo, who was within reach, before its imminent death!

Kingston and the others were already surrounded by the fire in front, having no idea what was happening behind. The water energy from Xige Zhuxue's palm ceased to flow, her face turning pale.

Siger Meiruo was stunned!

In her beautiful eyes, like still water, appeared the trembling image of a familiar and stubborn figure!

"Brother Su Chen!"

Su Chen was enveloped in a green light, his whole body turning into a violently spinning vortex. Having lost the Bloodlight Sword, he clutched the blaze serpent's head with his bare, bloody hands. The Wind Explosion Flare exerted its final power, digging dozens of various-sized bloody holes into the serpent's head. The serpent twisted and roared violently, stumbling away, rolling towards the edge of the cliff outside the ring of fire. Su Chen's figure, swayed uncontrollably in mid-air with the serpent's struggles, as the flames quickly covered the green light surrounding him and plunged off the cliff along with the serpent…

The few of them crouched on the ground, panting heavily.

But Siger Meiruo seemed lost, blankly staring at the edge of the cliff where the flames vanished, the long black mark on the ground appearing as if it still carried a trace of brilliant red.

Finally, tears rolled down like a torrent. She ran towards the cliff edge frantically, screaming heartbrokenly while running, "Brother Su Chen! Don't leave me here alone!"

However, Su Chen had already fallen into the cliff, and no matter how she called, he couldn't hear her.

Siger Meiruo knelt at the cliff's edge, her tears falling like a broken string, crying helplessly, "Why, why did you save me, why wasn't it me who fell off the cliff…"

Footsteps sounded behind; Siger Meiruo seemed not to hear, her head bowed, her long hair draping to the ground, looking utterly desolate.

"Sister Meiruo…"

Xige Yun's exhausted voice.

The voice sank into a quagmire, receiving not the slightest response. Seriously injured, Xige Yun sighed deeply, silently closing his eyes.

He too was deeply shaken by Su Chen's action. Even as Meiruo's close brother, he wouldn't dare to say he could completely risk his life to save Sister Meiruo, let alone Su Chen, an outsider brought in by the Siger family. Recalling that thrilling scene, his impression of Su Chen significantly changed.

But what's the use of impressions now that the person is dead?

"Miss Siger, don't be sad. Perhaps, Brother Su Chen received the heavens' protection and is not dead?"

Kingston said with a complex expression.

In fact, he hardly believed his words. Falling from a nearly thousand-meter-high cliff without the ability to fly would mean certain death or fragmentation. Not to mention that before the fall, Su Chen was already burned by flames.

Siger Meiruo moved slightly, raised her head, staring blankly at the cliff edge swept by the mountain wind, with sparks of hope gathering in her eyes, "Yes, he definitely will be alright, the heavens will surely protect him!"

As she said this, she suddenly stood up, gazing determinedly at the cloud-shrouded cliff bottom, "Let's go, let's go find him!"…

In the chaos, it seemed a glimmer entered the mind, pulling back consciousness from the brink of death.

Su Chen persisted in opening his eyes but triggered sharp pains all over his body as the effort tugged at his wounds. He forced himself to stay silent, clenching his teeth together, veins protruding on his forehead.

The state of immobility lasted quite a while before he felt the pain gradually subside, but by then, his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, mixed with wet perspiration.

He recalled the moment of falling, seeing Siger Meiruo's deathly pale, strikingly beautiful face amid the flames, her eyes flowing with endless poignant tears, extinguishing all prior moments of death's agony.

He never thought he could survive, much less survive in such a lingering state.

Su Chen quietly observed his wounded body.

There was no intact place left; he was bathed in blood, hair disheveled, and he didn't even know how long he had been unconscious. The surroundings were deathly silent, occasionally interrupted by eerie cries of strange birds overhead, inducing a chilling fear.

Where is this place?

It felt like being cut off from the world, at the silent foot of a cliff, ground overgrown with weeds. Su Chen lay motionless, gazing up at the sky, completely powerless.

The night quietly descended, draping a shadow over the land. The cold evening breeze swept by, making him shiver slightly. The specks of blood on his wounds had already crusted over, appearing particularly horrifying. His tattered clothing, messy hair, and grime-covered face made Su Chen look utterly decrepit.
