#437 - Moon Yao's Sorrow
The black war spear was breaking through Ji Yinlan's defenses.
Forcibly using the Heavenly Maiden Seven Absolute Steps, she had already suffered a backlash, becoming weakened.
Now, using defensive forbidden techniques again, her physical condition was getting worse and worse.
"Yinlan, hold on a little longer!"
Jun Wuxie stared intently at the Hunting Soul Hall leader.
Beside him, there were still several black forbidden weapon spears floating.
The only way to resolve the threat of the forbidden weapons was to kill him.
At this moment, the Hunting Soul leader had distanced himself from the other hunters while searching for a position.
"Kill!"
Jun Wuxie's weakened body suddenly erupted with dazzling sword light.
His physical body instantly transformed into a sword exuding the might of a sovereign!
The sword body trailed a long tail of light, cutting through the sky, slashing towards the Hunting Soul leader like a startled swan.
"Seeking your own death!"
The Hunting Soul leader sneered, reaching out to grab a war spear and hurling it violently at Jun Wuxie.
Boom!
In an instant, the war spear shattered the sky, unleashing boundless killing intent!
The human sword that Jun Wuxie transformed into suddenly lit up with mysterious runes.
A three-meter diameter domain barrier formed around the sword body.
The Nine-Star forbidden weapon spear struck the barrier around the sword body, erupting with ear-piercing metallic clashes, sparks flying everywhere.
That barrier was solid and indestructible, not even rippling in the slightest.
Instead, the Nine-Star forbidden weapon spear was blasted away.
The smile on the Hunting Soul leader's face suddenly froze.
He had not expected that the extraordinary Nine-Star forbidden weapon spear would not only fail to penetrate the target's defensive barrier but would instead be knocked away!
What kind of barrier was that?
In that moment of slight distraction, the human sword, as fast as a stream of light, slashed before him.
Too fast!
He had no time to counterattack, nor to dodge.
The other hunters also had no time to rush to his aid.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly, opening his palm, pushing the square black box in front of him.
Clang!
The human sword failed to strike his body, instead slashing onto the black box.
A wisp of black ripples surged out.
Boom, the sword body was sent flying, the barrier shaking violently.
If Jun Wuxie's body had not been protected by the barrier, this blow would have been enough to obliterate him, body and soul.
Huff!
The sword body could no longer be maintained, reverting to human form.
His body swayed, weakened to the extreme.
The assassination of the Hunting Soul leader had failed!
Looking back, he saw that the black forbidden weapon spear, the spearhead almost reaching Ji Yinlan's chest.
He felt his consciousness becoming hazy, his vision beginning to blur.
But he didn't know where the strength came from, causing his spirit to shake, erupting with extreme speed, rushing to Ji Yinlan's side, pulling her into the barrier.
Clang!
Almost at the same time, the war spear struck the domain barrier, sparks flying, and was blasted away.
"Wuxie, what kind of domain is this..."
As soon as Ji Yinlan opened her mouth, the barrier enveloping them disappeared.
Jun Wuxie's body almost collapsed, but she caught him in time.
The World Domain, coming from the World Tree, consumed essence, energy, and spirit to activate.
He was already extremely weak, and now, his entire consciousness was blurred.
He could barely hear what Ji Yinlan was saying.
He felt his consciousness about to fall into darkness.
But at this moment, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end.
A terrifying killing intent came from behind.
He had no time to react, his body being pushed away.
At the same time, his blurred vision saw a black light piercing through Ji Yinlan's body, bright red blood splattering onto his face, causing him to shudder, his hazy consciousness instantly clearing!
"Yinlan!"
His pupils dilated violently.
He watched helplessly as the forbidden weapon spear pierced through that moon-white figure, the enormous impact sending her flying dozens of miles, deeply nailed to the city wall.
"Wu... xie..."
Ji Yinlan's red lips opened slightly, large amounts of blood flowing out.
"Imperial Sister!"
On the city wall, Ji Beilan cried out in anguish, frantically crashing against the barrier, trying to rush out of the city, but was constantly knocked back, her body cracked, covered in blood.
"Yinlan!"
Jun Wuxie rushed towards the city wall like a madman.
"Hahaha!" The Hunting Soul leader laughed coldly: "In front of my Hunting Soul Hall, even if you are gifted, you are nothing more than stronger ants! Since you are so deeply in love, then go to the Yellow Springs together!"
He grabbed a forbidden weapon spear, aimed at Jun Wuxie, who was rushing towards Ji Yinlan nailed to the city wall, and threw it with all his might.
A streak of black light shattered the sky!
"Young Master!"
"Wuxie!"
"Brother-in-law!"
…
A cry of despair erupted from the city wall.
Jun Wuxie felt a warning sign in his heart, forcibly activating the World Domain again.
But his essence, energy, and spirit were too weak now.
Clang!
The black war spear arrived.
The World Domain flashed and disappeared.
Before it could completely deflect the spear's impact and killing intent, the domain dissipated.
With a pfft, the black forbidden weapon spear pierced through Jun Wuxie from behind, piercing his heart, the enormous remaining force sending him flying hundreds of meters away, heavily falling into the mountain of corpses.
He struggled to get up, looking at Ji Yinlan, who was nailed to the city wall, constantly dripping blood, tears shining in his eyes.
Dragging his broken body, he stepped on the corpses, step by step forward, his steps faltering.
The two-meter-long black war spear pierced through his heart, stuck in his back and chest.
He felt all the power in his body was flowing away, his life essence was rapidly withering.
The shattering of his heart caused all the functions of his body to decay frantically at this moment…
"No…"
Yan Qingcheng's entire person was like losing her soul, her eyes dull.
"I want you to create a miracle, create a miracle!"
Mu XueLan murmured blankly, tears rolling down her snow-white and crystal-clear face.
How could that man fall down like this!
He will definitely be able to create a miracle, he definitely can!
Just like on Soul Refining Mountain, he was able to reverse the outcome even when facing several beast kings!
Today, he can also, he definitely can!
She kept telling herself.
"Wuxie!"
On the city wall, Qin Keqing's face was covered in tears.
"Young Master…"
Ling Fei's whole body was trembling, tears had already blurred her eyes.
Everyone in Great Zhou was crying.
Only Yue Yao had a smile on her face.
The heart-shaped bracelet on her wrist rang, ding ding ding.
Strands of mysterious lines appeared on the bracelet, injecting into her body.
Then, she took a step forward.
In everyone's unbelievable eyes, she easily passed through the city's barrier.
She landed under the city like a fairy in a painting, lifting her skirt, smiling and running towards Jun Wuxie.
It was as if she was running towards the happiest home in her life.
She just ran towards him like that.
Closer and closer.
Closer and closer.
"Yao'er…"
Jun Wuxie's consciousness was blurred, his vision almost unable to see the front, only relying on his last will to support his body forward.
Vaguely, he seemed to see Yao'er running towards him.
He knew that this was an illusion, what the heart desired, it would conjure.
Yao'er was inside the city.
There was a barrier blocking her, how could she possibly run towards him.
Until the figure ran in front of him, allowing the sharp war spear to pierce through her body…
With a pfft.
Warm blood splattered on his face.
He shuddered, his blurred consciousness instantly clearing.
"Yao… Yao'er…"
His pupils contracted, looking at Yue Yao, who had thrown herself into his arms, the crimson blood spreading on her chest.
The black war spear pierced through her chest cavity.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together.
A pair of soft arms tightly hugged him.
That feeling was so warm, yet so despairing to him.
"No!"
His pupils dilated, trembling his hands, to caress her face.
"Wuxie gege, Yao'er can't accompany you anymore, the peach blossom wine in the wine cellar, you must save a little to drink…" Her tearful eyes stared at him, very gently, very gently.
She stroked his face, her gaze affectionate and reluctant: "Wuxie gege must take care, live well…"
The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, shallow dimples, so beautiful and so sad.
Strands of mysterious power, from all parts of her body, gathered towards the wound, and then through the war spear, injected into Jun Wuxie's body.
Jun Wuxie's heart was recovering at an alarming rate.
With a clang, the heart that burst with divine light contracted, blood flowing throughout his body, causing his injuries to recover instantly, his essence, energy, and spirit returning to their peak state.
The forbidden weapon spear that pierced through his heart was directly shattered by the heart.
Then, the wound on the heart healed in an instant.
"Yao'er, what are you doing, don't! Don't!"
Jun Wuxie wanted to reject this power, but he couldn't reject it at all.
A constant stream of energy flowed from Yue Yao's body into his body.
Yue Yao's face had become as pale as paper, but her eyes were still so bright, reflecting his face, so clearly, so clearly that in those eyes, besides him, there was no other scenery.
"I'm healing you, healing you!"
He violently pulled out the half of the war spear from Yue Yao's body.
But he found that not a single drop of blood flowed out of the wound.
"No… no need…"
Yue Yao leaned weakly in his arms, looking up at him, her cold hands slowly stroking his face.
"Yao'er is no longer by gege's side, you must take good care of yourself…" She smiled, crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes, murmuring: "When gege thinks of Yao'er, you're not allowed to be sad…"
“Yao… …er… …”
Jun Wuxie could barely speak, sobbing and choking, crying like a child.
“Brother, don't cry… …Yao'er will always be inside your body. Promise Yao'er, take Yao'er's heart and live well and happily… …That way, Yao'er will be with you. If you're sad, it will be sad, it will hurt… …”
“Brother, do you know, Yao'er has tasted the most unforgettable taste in the world, the taste of brother's flesh and blood, forever engraved in Yao'er's heart… …”
She hummed softly the ballad she loved most: “This life's kindness can never be repaid… …May there be a next life to transform into spring mud… …”
With a happy smile, the hand that caressed his face slowly drooped down, and her eyes slowly closed… …
“No! Don't! Yao'er, open your eyes and look at me! Look at me, don't go!”
Jun Wuxie shook the person in his arms vigorously, but she had no reaction, a smile on her lips, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, so quiet… …
“How could you leave me behind!”
He knelt on the ground, holding her tightly.
He lowered his head, gazing at her pale and peaceful face, that faint smile on her lips, so heartbreaking.
He just looked at her like that.
Tears fell on her face, drop by drop.
The whole world was silent.
Even the Soul Hunters remained where they were.
Facing Jun Wuxie, who seemed to have completely returned to his peak state,
They dared not act rashly.
The Soul Hunter commander, still holding two forbidden weapon spears, did not dare to throw them easily.
He was wary of the impenetrable domain barrier released by the target.
Time passed, little by little.
Without knowing when, a beautiful woman exuding terrifying power quietly entered the battlefield, taking away Ji Yinlan, who was nailed to the city wall, weak and unconscious.
The Soul Hunters watched with their own eyes, but dared not stop her.
On the mountain of corpses, Jun Wuxie knelt, tightly holding Yue Yao's cold body.
He seemed to have turned into a stone statue, unmoving.
Strands of white appeared in his hair.
An indescribable murderous aura slowly overflowed from his body.
His head was lowered, and the tears that fell had turned blood red.
In his pupils, blood-colored runes appeared and disappeared, and a blood-red mark appeared on his brow.
Just then.
A white-haired woman appeared on the battlefield.
She felt the heart-palpitating murderous aura emanating from Jun Wuxie's body, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
With a wave of her hand, a fiery red true energy rune rope instantly pierced through the sky, reaching Jun Wuxie in an instant, wrapping around Yue Yao's body, and then pulling, she took Yue Yao away from Jun Wuxie's embrace.
“You're courting death!”
Jun Wuxie suddenly raised his head and rushed forward, holding Yue Yao in one arm and grabbing the rope with the other. In his pupils, where blood-red runes flickered, were terrifying scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The white-haired woman who snatched Yue Yao's body was greatly shocked the moment she saw those eyes!
What kind of eyes were those?
As if all human emotions had been extinguished, fierce, cruel, tyrannical, bloodthirsty!
Those eyes simply did not belong to a human!
“Die! You all deserve to die, everyone deserves to die!”
A chilling and tyrannical voice came from his mouth, and two pupils actually appeared in his eyes, intersecting and overlapping, as red as blood!
The blood-red mark on his brow kept flashing, and a tyrannical and bloodthirsty aura erupted madly from his body, with fresh red bloody aura overflowing from every pore, as if a sea of blood was surging up!
