I know that I am racing against time, but nothing around me can make me calm down.
The sky and the ground were in chaos. The roar caused by the heavy rain of rubble and mud was connected around the iceberg, and layers of flying smoke rose into the sky.
Swords and sabers were flying in front of and behind me. The figures of Ye Jin and Jiangshan Iron Guard fighting fiercely appeared on the ice again and again. Ye Jin was already covered in blood, but he refused to take a step back: "Brother, calm down, I'm still alive! I'm going to kill—"
As Ye Jin's sword wind swept up into the sky, the sound of fire thunder explosions also came from the direction of the cave entrance, and the shouts of the four magicians followed like a tide.
Damn! The demon monk failed to stop the sorcerer, and they succeeded in breaking through and killing their way into the cave.
As soon as this thought popped into my mind, a thin layer of sweat broke out on my forehead.
The voice of the seventh Shuilan came at this time: "It seems that you haven't seen through life and death yet. Life and death are just a transition between a few seconds. When you feel that you are going to die, you will feel that the world is unusually quiet. All people and all things have nothing to do with you. All that is left in you is that unprecedented quietness and comfort. Perhaps, letting you die is the best choice."
Before I could figure out what the Seventh Shuilan meant, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. When I looked down, a bloody dagger had already pierced my heart.
Chen Hanxing's voice quietly appeared behind me: "I'm sorry, I can only kill you."
Chen Hanxing!
Yes, he hadn't made a move until now, he was just waiting for the right opportunity. Only he could break through Ye Jin's blockade and pierce my heart with his sword.
Seventh Shui Lan was right. Before a person dies, he or she will indeed fall into an unprecedented silence.
From the moment the sword pierced my heart, I felt that the whole world had become quiet. I felt like my soul had left my body and I could see everything in the cave clearly in an instant.
Ye Jin was roaring madly, but I couldn't hear what he was shouting.
Miaokong tore everyone's bodies into pieces in a rage. I should have felt heartbroken, but I could only see blood flying all over the sky and didn't feel any heart-wrenching pain at all.
The cave above the iceberg collapsed in an instant, and millstone-sized rocks fell like a rainstorm. I watched as a huge rock hit the top of the Seventh Shuilan's head, and the Seventh Shuilan's blood instantly dyed the top of the mountain red.
I was subconsciously startled, and the scene in front of me suddenly disappeared. My hand was still on the iceberg, and my chest was not pierced by a sword.
"This is… "
Just when I was at a loss, the Seventh Shuilan suddenly said, "What you saw was not an illusion, but the future. I put everything that will happen in a few minutes in front of you. You are not only absorbing the essence, but also changing your fate, changing the fate of everyone here. Reversing the Xuanming Qi, you may die, your meridians may be broken or your Dantian may be violent, but others will survive."
"Ah—" I screamed wildly, and the Xuanming Qi reversed wildly. Endless cold air rushed towards me at an incredible speed, and I felt a sharp pain in the meridians of my arms as if they were cut by a knife...
Fuck the broken meridians;
Fuck the explosion of Dantian;
Fuck him to pieces...
I can die, but no one who is important to me can die!
At that time, I seemed to have lost consciousness and all I knew was to absorb the cold air frantically. Even if I would be shattered into pieces in the next second, I would extract all the Xuanming Ice Soul from the ice layer before my body collapsed.
As time passed by, a sword whistled suddenly from behind me...
It was like the whistle of a sword coming from the sky, coming at me in an instant, and the burning murderous intent locked onto my vest. I knew it was Chen Hanxing who had taken action.
The seventh Shui Lan’s calculation was correct. Chen Hanxing would definitely kill me at the critical moment. The sword that stabbed at my heart would also pierce through my heart!
"Ah—" I roared to the sky, and used all my strength to circulate the Xuanming Qi, forcing the Qi into my Dantian.
Instantly, just a moment later, I felt someone hit me with his back. When the other person got close to me, he moved his body slightly upwards, and the next second, a blood-stained long sword pierced through my shoulder blade and stabbed out from in front of me.
Ye Jin roared suddenly: "Die—"
I didn't look back, but I knew that Ye Jin had blocked the sword for me at the critical moment. He even jumped up when the sword pierced his body, and diverted the direction of the long sword that was originally piercing my heart. This is why Chen Hanxing's fatal sword only pierced my shoulder.
I didn't need to look to know that Ye Jin was holding the opponent's sword with one hand and swinging the sword with the other to chop off Chen Hanxing's head. Only in this way could he clamp Chen Hanxing's long sword and prevent the opponent from turning the sword to crush my shoulder; only in this way would he have the opportunity to deliver a blow that would kill both the enemy and me.
However, if he did that, he would have to bear the sword energy that Chen Hanxing would emit. His hand would be crippled, and he would be crippled too!
As tears welled up in my eyes, a thunderous noise shook the earth from above my head. The collapse that the Seventh Shuilan had predicted had finally happened, and the four masters were about to charge into the core of Shenmu Temple...
At that moment, the Xuanming Qi in my body also circulated to the extreme, and the iceberg in front of me finally exploded with spider-web-like cracks...
At that moment, countless masters broke through the sky and descended from the sky. Hundreds of great sorcerers, some like gods descending, some like sword immortals, swarmed towards the iceberg from all directions.
Finished!
What will happen next? Will Miaokong go berserk and tear all the hostages apart? Or will we all be killed
I don’t dare to think about it, nor do I want to think about it...
Just when I was feeling completely hopeless, a surge of cold air suddenly surged up from the iceberg.
Before I could react, I was pushed into the sky by the whistling energy. I was like a kite with its string cut off, and while I was still tumbling in the air, the thousand-year-old iceberg suddenly exploded in front of me, and large and small icicles were like a rain of arrows exploding from the inside out, shooting out in all directions with a ghostly scream.
I was the first to be hit, and in just a moment I was enveloped by the icy rain that flew across the sky. I had no choice but to close my eyes...
However, just a moment later, Ye Jin and I fell to the ground at the same time.
We weren't hit by the icicles
When I opened my eyes, a mist of cold air was floating around me. Looking around, there was only white everywhere. I don't know when the headless Buddha statue in the iceberg appeared about a foot away from me: "The promise is fulfilled, see you later!"
Vast space!
I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It turns out that Miaokong is the real Buddha with a human head and a wooden body!
I was about to ask him, "Where are my companions?" Miaokong spoke before me, "Your friends are all by your side. Don't say anything and find a chance to escape. If anyone asks, just say that you entered Shenmu Temple based on the clues left by Qiqi Shuilan. Qiqi Shuilan will naturally help you arrange the rest."
When I turned around to look around me, I found that Monk Shi and the others were all lying next to me. Although they were still unconscious, they were not seriously injured.
As Miaokong's figure slowly retreated into the mist, he spoke again: "I look forward to seeing you again, but I don't hope that we can meet again. When we meet, one of us will definitely regret it..."
Miaokong left behind some inexplicable words and completely disappeared into the mist. In the distance, there came a sound of countless people shouting, "Go grab the coffin, quickly!"
"This coffin belongs to the Xuan Jing Division. Anyone who moves it without permission will be killed!"
"We in the Red Roof House really want to see how he died. Grab it for me!"
"Amitabha, all donors, why don't you stop fighting for a while..."
"You bald donkey want to accumulate merits from us? Give me your life..."
"… "
The shouts and curses from various masters mixed together, and I roughly understood what they meant, that is, they were fighting for the twelve coffins in the iceberg.
I couldn't help but feel a bit amused and helpless.
I said calmly, "Chen Hanxing, did you see that? Those coffins are the targets of the four sects. They never cared whether Shenmu Temple would slaughter the common people. Even if all the evildoers in Shenmu Temple ran away, what would happen? Perhaps, they still hope that the evil monk will be born. In that case, wouldn't they have a place to show their skills?"
"That's why I didn't kill you." When Chen Hanxing's voice sounded less than a foot away from me, I couldn't help but shiver.
I didn't notice Chen Hanxing just now, but I felt that Chen Hanxing would not let Ye Jin and I go so easily. He must be hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to kill people, so I subconsciously tricked him. I didn't expect that he was really by my side.
Chen Hanxing said in a low voice: "Just now I realized that they had no intention of slaying demons and exorcising monsters, otherwise, your friend would not have been able to force me back with one sword. Are the sorcerers still sorcerers, the magic is still the magic, and the Iron Guards still the Iron Guards?"
Chen Hanxing said with a sigh: "Perhaps, we have been imprisoned for too long. I should go out and see this world!"
When Chen Hanxing uttered the last word, his voice had already fallen several meters away. He left without any hesitation.
I relaxed when I was sure the other person was far away. But before I had time to look at the wound on my body, I heard footsteps approaching us from afar.
Ye Jin and I reached for our weapons at the same time, holding our breath and looking in the direction where the footsteps came from.
Although the two of us were no longer able to fight, we would not sit still and wait for death. After a short moment, more than a dozen figures slowly emerged in the cold fog, rushing towards us like evil spirits...
When I grabbed Luosha, I had already used my true energy to push the ghost eye money. Maybe I only have one chance to attack, and this time, I must hit it with one strike. (To be continued)
