Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Outside the outer layer of Skyvault Prison,

“Clang!!”

Accompanied by a tremendous crash and a frenzied eruption of dark emerald-green magic power,

a terrifying wave cannon of magic power suddenly erupted, directly engulfing the blue-robed figure ahead.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Even the buildings surrounding the prison were directly shattered by the aftershock of the power...

Seeing the enemy swallowed by the magic power, Qiu Mingtong’s eyes abruptly narrowed. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately unleashed all the power within her body, swung the giant hammer in her hands, and smashed it toward the figure within the sea of flames!

“Rumble~”

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the giant hammer struck its target with tremendous force.

However,

Qiu Mingtong’s expression abruptly changed at that moment.

A magnetic yet incomparably cold, deep, and murderous voice suddenly entered Qiu Mingtong’s ears.

“Don’t push your luck, little girl.”

As those words fell,

an icy-blue light suddenly flashed within the raging flames.

The blue light flickered, and the dense dark emerald-green flames and violently surging magic power around them were suddenly dispersed by an overwhelmingly powerful blast of freezing wind, turning into endless shards of ice.

As the flames scattered,

a mighty middle-aged man dressed in a blue-and-white military uniform appeared before everyone.

At this moment, the uniformed man, whose entire body radiated dense icy-blue battle aura and an appalling sense of oppression, merely raised one hand and forcibly blocked Qiu Mingtong’s heavy hammer strike. No matter how much strength Qiu Mingtong exerted, he remained completely motionless...

Not far away, Zhong Xizhi immediately raised her hand again. Dagger in hand, she transformed into dozens of black shadows and charged toward the uniformed man!

In response,

the uniformed man sneered coldly.

“Hmph, insolent juniors.”

A chilling gleam flashed through his eyes. Terrifying battle aura instantly burst from the man’s body like a wild beast breaking free from its restraints, surging forward with overwhelming momentum.

In an instant,

under the crushing impact of the freezing storm, both Qiu Mingtong, who was attacking with her hammer, and Zhong Xizhi, who was charging forward, were suddenly blasted away. Zhong Xizhi’s ten clones were directly obliterated.

More than a dozen Black Rose Family knights nearby were likewise unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure and involuntarily dropped to their knees...

Just like that,

the combined attack of two Seventh-Tier experts and several other high-tier experts of the Black Rose Family was effortlessly neutralized by the middle-aged man.

...

After being blasted away and crashing into the wall, Qiu Mingtong stood back up and couldn’t help coughing out a mouthful of blood.

She stared unwillingly at the grim, murderous uniformed man ahead.

“As expected, the Grand General isn’t so easy to kill.”

“...”

Hearing those words and sensing the intense fighting spirit in Qiu Mingtong and Zhong Xizhi’s eyes, Luokefei, the Grand General protecting the Snow Night Empire, narrowed his eyes slightly.

“You want to kill me? What overconfident little brats.”

As he spoke,

a trace of killing intent gradually emerged within Luokefei’s icy-blue eyes.

--

Not long ago,

when Luokefei had first learned from Moxiao about the relationship between the Black Rose Family and Blood Butterfly, he had still been doubtful. After all, it was truly difficult to believe that such an enormous family from the south would betray humanity and cooperate with Abyss Demons.

Moreover,

—“Skyvault will be destroyed.”—

When Luokefei heard those words from Moxiao, his first reaction had been astonishment, followed immediately by anger and suspicion.

?!

What kind of joke was that?!

It was nothing but alarmist nonsense!

After struggling with it for a while, Luokefei ultimately refused to believe the intelligence broker’s words. After all, Skyvault was located deep within the Snow Night Empire’s heartland. Experts were everywhere inside it, and both he and His Majesty were personally stationed there. How could Skyvault simply be destroyed just because someone said it would be?!

Considering Moxiao’s bizarre mental state when he had been captured,

for quite some time afterward, Luokefei had treated his words as the ravings of a madman and had paid them little attention.

It wasn’t until the Abyss Demons invaded that Luokefei gradually changed his mind—and regretted it immensely...

That bastard Moxiao... wasn’t talking nonsense? Skyvault really will be destroyed? Did he foresee the Abyss Demon invasion?

If that’s the case, perhaps he really wasn’t spouting nonsense?

Which means the relationship between Blood Butterfly and the Black Rose Family might also be real? Blood Butterfly and the Black Rose Family want to rescue Flame Prison?

And today... that Miss Yu also seems to have disappeared?

Thinking of this, Luokefei immediately felt that something was terribly wrong and hurriedly attempted to contact Gafei inside the prison. Although he successfully contacted ‘Gafei,’ with his keen powers of observation, Luokefei realized that the ‘Gafei’ communicating with him was not the Seventh-Tier scholar he knew.

‘Something has happened at the prison.’

The moment he realized this, Luokefei instantly enveloped himself in icy-blue light and rushed toward the prison. He no longer had the energy to deal with the massive Abyss Demon invasion outside. After all, once Flame Prison was released, the entire metropolis of Skyvault would be transformed into a blazing sea of hellfire.

The tens of thousands of Abyss Demons outside absolutely could not compare to the threat posed by a terrifying Demon King-class existence!

Flame Prison had to be dealt with first!

At the very least,

he had to make sure that monster did not regain her freedom.

And when he forcefully broke into the prison, he was shocked to discover that Gafei and the others had already collapsed unconscious on the ground. Furthermore, those guarding the prison’s interior were not members of the Royal Knights at all, but people from the Black Rose Family.

At that moment, Luokefei realized that Moxiao’s words had not been meaningless ravings.

‘There really is something wrong with the Black Rose Family.’

--

At this moment, inside the prison,

looking at the Black Rose Family members who continuously attempted to stop him from advancing deeper into the prison, Luokefei’s face gradually became covered in an icy, murderous aura. The battlefield war god who had already possessed an intimidating presence now seemed to transform into an Asura from hell itself.

A horrifying chill filled the interior of the prison.

Under the grave gazes of Qiu Mingtong and the others, Luokefei slowly walked toward them.

With every step he took, the cold within the prison intensified. A thick layer of frost even formed directly along the path Luokefei walked. His overwhelming pressure continuously bore down upon Qiu Mingtong, Zhong Xizhi, and the others, causing even these battle-hardened warriors to involuntarily suck in a cold breath.

After a moment of silence,

Luokefei issued his final ultimatum.

“Surrender obediently and stop trying to obstruct me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

However,

faced with Luokefei’s threat, Zhong Xizhi merely tilted her head with a disdainful expression.

“Hehe, you old bastard, if you want to fight, then fight. Why the fuck are you talking so much?!”

As she spoke,

pitch-black dragon wings suddenly tore through Zhong Xizhi’s clothes. Without the slightest hesitation, the dragon-horned girl entered her half-dragon transformation. Her strength underwent a qualitative leap at that moment, vaguely even touching the threshold of the Eighth Tier. Qiu Mingtong beside her refused to be outdone, as various ancient crimson runes began spreading across the girl’s delicate body...

Then,

as if by mutual agreement, everyone once again launched an attack against Luokefei.

Faced with this,

the Grand General protecting the empire could only sigh helplessly.

“It seems your Black Rose Family truly has joined forces with the Abyss Demons. Since you are traitors to humanity, I have no choice but to detain all of you and send you to the High Court.”

Slowly raising his hand,

a dense icy-blue light gradually spilled from Luokefei’s eyes as he slowly drew the saber at his waist.

The other side’s actions were clearly intended to stall for time.

To prevent Skyvault’s residents from discovering that Flame Prison had been sealed beneath Skyvault and subsequently falling into panic, Xue Tianao had placed numerous barriers around Flame Prison’s cell and covered its surface with Black Magic Stones to suppress Flame Prison’s power and prevent others from sensing her.

Although Luokefei wasn’t certain what exactly was happening inside the cell, according to his judgment, Blood Butterfly might already be inside, attempting to undo the seal His Majesty had placed.

Although His Majesty’s seal was extremely powerful, Blood Butterfly was an Eighth-Tier existence. As long as she was given enough time, breaking the seal would not be difficult for her.

When that happened,

Skyvault’s calamity would spiral completely out of control.

“I don’t have time to waste on you.”

The next instant,

blue light erupted violently,

...

“Boom~~”

Accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion, the combined attack of Qiu Mingtong, Zhong Xizhi, and the Black Rose Knights was ultimately cleaved apart by a single slash from Luokefei.

Rampaging freezing air swept across every member of the Black Rose Family. The wave of power released from his blade devastated the prison’s interior, turning everything upside down.

If the prison had not been a specially reinforced structure, it would probably have collapsed already.

While a single strike deprived Qiu Mingtong, Zhong Xizhi, and the others of their ability to continue fighting, Luokefei’s slash also blasted the enormous stone gate leading to Flame Prison’s gigantic cell into rubble.

“Hmph.”

After letting out a cold snort, Luokefei violently kicked off the ground and instantly transformed into a streak of blue light, charging straight into Flame Prison’s cell.

He had to ensure as quickly as possible that Flame Prison’s seal had not been undone and cripple Blood Butterfly’s ability to fight. Only then could Skyvault’s crisis be resolved.

However,

Luokefei, who entered the prison’s core area with precisely that intention, abruptly furrowed his brows.

Because,

the scene he had expected—

the black-haired girl attempting to rescue Flame Prison—was nowhere to be seen.

He didn’t even see that black-haired girl or the scorching sun?!

Within the enormous core area of the prison, there was only a seductive red-haired woman...

Phoenix eyes, long and slender eyelashes, a small straight nose, and rosy lips, combined with beautiful crimson hair dancing in the wind caused by the violent turbulence of his own battle aura, as well as a perfectly voluptuous and incredibly alluring body—

the woman was undoubtedly a supreme beauty rarely seen in this world.

However,

this supreme beauty instantly gave Luokefei an almost suffocating sense of oppression, causing the old general’s expression to abruptly change. An unprecedented gravity appeared within his icy-blue eyes.

Although her appearance had changed, an aura would not change so easily.

This unbearably oppressive Shadow of Silence Power, and this scorching temperature hot enough to distort space...

The moment their eyes met, Luokefei realized the other party’s identity.

“Flame Prison...”

However,

before Luokefei could say anything else, the red-haired young woman dressed in thin white clothing began walking toward him step by step.

And the words she spoke next sent an intense chill crawling down Luokefei’s spine.

“You must be General Luokefei, correct? I’m terribly sorry, but in order to make those foolish humans understand the terror of Abyss Demons once again, could you—the old Grand General protecting the Snow Night Empire... perhaps die for a little while?”

The instant her words fell,

under Luokefei’s stunned gaze,

an unprecedented and terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from around the red-haired woman. A scorching temperature capable of burning the soul instantly surged toward Luokefei like a demon from the abyss, accompanied by roaring crimson Shadow of Silence Power.

In the blink of an eye, it smashed Luokefei’s proudly maintained freezing aura to pieces, causing the old general’s expression to become increasingly grim.

‘This monster?! Peak Eighth Tier?!’

This Abyss Demon?!

She was hiding her true strength when she fought His Majesty?!!!
