Chapter 646 Of course I didn't
Chapter 646 Of course I didn't
Overgrown with weeds, the cold wind howls, the land tainted by demonic energy has lost its spiritual power, the vegetation is undergoing astonishing changes, the river water is slowly becoming icy cold, and the light in the sky is dimming.
Huge monsters trampled through the barren grass and mud, leaving no trace of life in sight.
Along the dilapidated city streets, the once glorious city gate plaques still stand. Beside the plaques, bones lie scattered, and severed limbs are everywhere. Some were able to turn to dust with the heavens and earth in hidden corners, while others had to endure a second death, crushed and torn apart by demonic beasts.
Before this desolate city that has already been captured, following the swirling sand, one can see a tall, earthen-colored city wall standing at the boundary between the desolate forest and the yellow sand.
The city walls were incredibly high, taller than any other city walls on the continent, towering majestically and inspiring both fear and awe. Above the walls, a shimmering, icy-blue light barrier rose silently between heaven and earth, the last line of defense separating light from darkness.
After slaying the last demonic beast that charged the city gate that day, Xuan Ling dragged his exhausted body and wounds back. All the disciples had already returned to the city walls to heal their wounds. As the one covering the rear, he also had to go to the purification array as soon as possible to cleanse the demonic energy that clung to his wounds, big and small.
His sword-wielding hand was numb from slaying countless monsters; half of his robe was tattered, and half of his arm was soaked in his own blood.
As he crossed the city gate, he finally swayed twice, collapsing against the rough, cold wall. The sky he looked up at was gradually replaced by the blood flowing from his forehead.
The wind whistled in his ears, and it seemed as if there were still demonic beasts growling menacingly, but his heart was not as at ease as his body was in this place.
Light and shadow shift, years pass by.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed since that person disappeared.
When emotions are running high, it's easy to lose focus.
Just then, a silent hand suddenly appeared behind him, intending to grab his neck.
Xuan Ling lowered her eyes, and in the next instant, a sharp red sword light suddenly flashed, and in a flash, it mercilessly cut off a hand that was still twitching on the ground.
A piercing scream rang out, and the next second, the sword light arrived, the cold blade swiftly piercing the opponent's heart.
Xuan Ling coldly raised her eyes, a completely unsmiling smile curving her lips, and turned her head to look at the person who was slowly falling down, eyes wide open and face full of terror.
He strode over, his crimson robe, stained with blood, fluttering wildly like the red lotus fire of hell that drowns and annihilates all evil.
Even stained with scarlet blood, her delicate features remained exceptionally noble and refined, making one dare not look up and desecrate her.
"How foolish..." he sighed with a smile, as the crimson sword light transformed into thousands of iron nails, instantly piercing through various acupoints on the attacker's body.
A painful, piercing scream shattered the silent, cold, and gloomy sky.
Shen Qingqing was covered in cold sweat and trembling all over. Blood was gushing from the wound on her severed arm, but she couldn't move and couldn't even stop the bleeding herself.
"You...you..." She looked at Xuan Ling with fear, feeling that the handsome young man in front of her looked exactly like a man-eating demon.
He is even more terrifying than the bloodthirsty and brutal demons!
Xuan Ling admired the fear in her eyes and casually took two steps around her: "Did you think you could use the same trick on me twice?"
"Do you think that the reason I'm controlled by you is because of that ridiculous demon seed you have?"
The pain was so intense that Shen Qingqing froze, then began to tremble even more violently.
“You…you didn’t…”
"Of course I didn't." Xuan Ling blinked slightly, a crimson ribbon brushing against his cheek along with the bloody smell in the air. "From beginning to end, I knew exactly what you were doing and what I was doing."
"How much smarter do you think you are than Jiang Huaizhou and the others?"
"Junior sister, don't you understand? If it weren't for senior sister saving you time and time again, you would have died at my hands long ago, your tendons and bones torn apart and your ashes scattered."
Shen Qingqing shook her head, unable to believe that her second senior brother, who had always been so obedient and caring towards her in her past life, had actually been plotting to kill her all along!
She couldn't believe it even more. She had clearly successfully planted the demon seed in him, making him work for her and stop at nothing to hurt Jiang Liqian, but in reality, he hadn't been planted with the demon seed at all. It was all a carefully staged play by him!
"Why are you……"
"Why would I kill you? Why would I betray Senior Sister?" Xuan Ling lowered her head and chuckled softly, her eyes suddenly turning cold after the laughter.
It was as cold as a deep pool, chilling to the bone.
Deep within the dark, icy waters lurk hideous beasts yearning to leap from the surface.
"Because of my senior sister, who should have been my senior sister all along."
She said she wanted to travel with him to Cangxuan, to see the vast ocean and the universe together. But year after year, day after day, she took one disciple after another up the mountain, and gradually spent less and less time by his side. Her promise to him was like a mirage, shattering before his very eyes whenever he reached out.
He dared not take another step forward, yet was unwilling to retreat; the growing torment in his heart made it impossible for him to maintain his outward appearance of kindness.
He wanted to kill them and remove all obstacles.
Jiang Huaizhou, Meng Jiu'an, Yun Qingyan, and Shen Qingqing, whom he loathed utterly!
This woman clung to the senior sister like a dodder vine, shamelessly and frantically sucking her blood and flesh, wishing she could devour the senior sister whole.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Book, and if it weren't for the eldest sister's vague guess that he was going to do something, and her open and covert warnings to him not to secretly kill his fellow disciples, otherwise she would be forced to clean up the sect herself, this woman would definitely not be alive and standing here now.
And now, she's going to use the same old trick again. Is she ready to completely break ties with her senior sister?
Even if the senior sister is still useful, he has no choice but to deal with her first.
Xuan Ling pursed her lips, and the murderous intent hidden deep in her eyes, like a Kun fish breaking through the water, slowly seeped out.
Shen Qingqing trembled all over, tears streaming down her face in fear. A huge shadow of death loomed over her, and her life force was slowly dissipating as her blood was drained away.
Her teeth chattered, her face turned ashen, and her pupils gradually lost focus.
Once again, and once again.
She's going to die like this again.
Blood was everywhere, the sky was gloomy, and the cold wind howled through the world. All was silent.
She screamed in her heart, she didn't want to die, she didn't want to die!
But no one saved her, and she couldn't save herself either. She could only watch helplessly as her own bones rotted, stinked, and became mingled with rats and garbage.
"save……
"Help..."
Help me, Senior Sister!
