Chapter 2407 Within a Day (1)

boom! !

The white bone scimitar, like a black lightning bolt cleaving through the sky, slashed fiercely towards Zhang Yi's head.

At that moment, the entire valley trembled, as if the darkness itself was about to collapse.

however--

clang! ! !

The blade's light was once again completely swallowed up.

Zhang Yi remained completely still; the myriad phenomena around him merely rippled, utterly neutralizing the earth-shattering attack.

"How can it be……"

Burning Bones' voice was hoarse, and despair finally surfaced in his eyes.

His ability index wasn't significantly different from Zhang Yi's.

But his attacks were like child's play in the face of Zhang Yi's defense.

Is it really... without even the slightest flaw?

Little did he know that Zhang Yi prioritized defensive stat allocation.

He has too many opponents he can't beat, but very few opponents can break through his defenses and scratch him.

"Are you done? Now it's time for my counterattack!"

Zhang Yi gently raised his right hand; even in front of the Night Witch, he still had to hold back.

If that weren't the case, he would have killed Burning Bone in one move!

Even so, his right hand moved slightly.

In the void, the space formed by the strings in the area where Burning Bones' body was located collapsed by a line.

"Pfft!"

Without any space of any thickness being removed, a huge wound was cut open in the body of Burning Bones, which was born from his abdomen and almost cut him in half!

However, because Zhang Yi held back, Fen Gu was not killed, but the wound in his abdomen was still shocking.

Blood gushed out, and Burning Bones' body began to sway. His pupils contracted sharply, not understanding how this injury had occurred.

The wound appeared so strangely that he even thought he had been hit by the other party's causal attack.

Blood gushed out, and he endured the pain, clutching his waist with one hand, yet still trying to raise the knife again.

"Bone Burning, that's enough!"

Just then, a pair of slender hands suddenly grabbed his bloodstained wrists.

Shunliuxing, tears streaming down her face, desperately tried to hold him back, preventing him from continuing to sacrifice his life.

Her voice trembled, yet it was firm:

"If you keep going like this, you'll die! You've already given it your all, that's enough! Please... stop!"

Burning Bone was stiff all over, and the white bone scimitar in his hand trembled violently.

His gaze was filled with struggle, a mixture of madness and resentment, but it eventually crumbled amidst Shunliuxing's tears.

"I... just wanted to protect you..."

His voice was hoarse and low, and the scimitar in his hand finally fell and plunged into the ground.

The [Eternal Dark Moon] behind them shattered with a deafening roar, turning into countless black fragments of light that dissipated into the air.

Burning Bone swayed, then suddenly knelt on the ground, his breathing disordered, his face covered with traces of blood and tears.

The injury was too horrific; he knew he had no chance of defeating Zhang Yi.

The valley, bathed in moonlight, fell silent for a moment.

The Night Witch watched this scene silently, a complex look flashing in her eyes, but she remained silent.

Zhang Yi then withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and left only a detached whisper:

Sometimes, it's not a lack of strength, but a wrong direction.

His figure appeared particularly cold and aloof in the black mist.

But Fen Gu was no longer listening.

He simply held Shunliuxing tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, like a helpless child.

The air in the valley was heavy and oppressive, and the night enveloped the surrounding area, making even breathing difficult.

Inside the shadow space, Zhou Ke'er and the others watched this scene, seeing the Moon People couple embracing each other, and tears welled up in their eyes.

"It was such a moving scene. If it weren't for saving the fate of all mankind, I really wouldn't want to do something so cruel."

Zhou Ke'er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed helplessly.

In this matter, who is at fault?

There was nothing wrong with Meteor Shower and Burning Bones, but there was nothing wrong with Zhang Yi and the human alliance who risked their lives to come here.

It's just that this world is so cruel.

Fatty Xu was sobbing uncontrollably. He waved his hand and said, "They're in such a terrible state, I can't bear to watch. Take them away right now!"

Li Yangyang hugged him and comforted him, "It's okay, you can't see if you close your eyes."

Professor Leonardo da Vinci pursed his lips, showing absolutely no interest in this scene of love and romance.

"Are you done fighting? If you're done, let's head back early. We have things to take care of when we get back!"

Uncle Yu, clad in heavy armor, looked at Professor Da Vinci and asked, "Professor, what do you mean?"

Professor Da Vinci's dead fish eyes darted around: "Is that even a question? If someone doesn't want us to take the fire back, then there's definitely something even bigger waiting for us!"

Uncle You's face also turned serious.

"No matter what situation we face, we will not back down."

He looked at his mechanical arm and said in a deep voice, "I also want to prove my current strength with a major battle."

With each upgrade of the Demon God Armor, Uncle You's true combat power has approached that of the White Bishop.

However, Zhang Yi's growth rate was too fast, so much so that in small-scale battles, he, Liang Yue, and Hua Hua did not have a chance to make a move.

Now, all they can do is prepare for battle and wait for the right opportunity.

……

Fen Gu knelt on the ground, his hands covered in blood. Zhang Yi stopped attacking, and he forced his muscles to clench, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

But continuing the fight is absolutely impossible.

His fingertips gripped the soil tightly, his eyes flashing with resentment and pain.

Shunliuxing gently placed her hand on his shoulder, tender yet firm.

"Enough, Burning Bones."

She said softly, her voice trembling with tears, yet still gentle, "Don't fight so hard anymore, I don't want to see you die."

Burning Bones shook his head, his teeth clenching so hard they made a grinding sound.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Yi, as if he were the source of all fate.

"No... I'm not reconciled! Meteor had just regained her sight, she had just been able to see this world again! Why... why did she have to die?!"

His voice was hoarse, with the metallic taste of blood, like a roar bursting from the depths of a shattered chest.

Upon hearing these words, Shunliuxing finally couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her cheeks.

She slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Friends of Earth".

This was the first time she had called him by that name, her voice filled with pleading and determination, "I know you're going to take me away, I know fate has paved the way. But... could you... give me just one day?"

Zhang Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes deep as he gazed at her silently.

"Times of Day?"

Shunliuxing nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, her slightly trembling lips parting gently.

"Yes, just one day. I want to see this world for myself. I want to see the mountains, the stars, the flowers, and the rivers. Even if it's just for one day, I want to use my own eyes to remember the beauty of this world."
