All kinds of scenery appeared around Song Zining's body, the city, the neighborhood, the buildings layered on top of each other, the officials and the people, the nobles and the common people, walking towards Xixi, there are countless floating leaves densely woven rain curtains, rustling down, just like the golden autumn. Song Zining's expression was inexplicable, standing in the midst of a dim and magnificent scene, he seemed to be floating in the air and wanted to hide.
A thin line of blood appeared from a distance, twisting and turning, it arrived in front of Song Zining in an instant, and beheaded him!
As soon as the blood line came out, the prosperity of the floating world suddenly encountered a natural disaster, the earth shook and the sky tilted, and people and vehicles ran away. Countless floating leaves moved towards the same place by themselves, blocking the blood line.
However, the blood line meanders and zigzags forward, cutting countless floating blades in half as it passes along the way. It's like someone using this fantasy city as a real battlefield, charging forward and killing fiercely.
Countless floating leaves only delayed the blood line a little bit, it passed through the city, one ups and downs, and once again slashed at Song Zining!
At this time, Qianye was too late to catch up. He activated Void Flicker hastily, but he had just passed through the illusory city, and saw that the top of the blood line was still more than ten meters ahead. He gritted his teeth violently, and reached out to grab the bloodline!
With the strength of his body, the blood line still easily cut through the flesh, and fell deeply in it, and in the blink of an eye, Qianye's hands were full of blood. Fortunately, a dark gold rune suddenly appeared on the hand bone, which blocked the blood line and could not cut further. Otherwise, with just one blow, I'm afraid it will cut off half of Qianye's palm.
The blood thread is tough and heavy, like holding a heavy weapon of the original force, not to mention cutting it off, it's hard to say whether it can be pulled. Qianye turned his heart to the side, his blood burst out, and he pulled back hard, regardless of whether the blood line would cut off his hand.
The blood line was pulled back by Qianye, and the slash against Song Zining came to nothing.
"Yetong!" Qianye yelled. How could he not feel that this line of blood came from Yetong
The blood line came from a thousand meters away, and it came in an instant. Her method was even more powerful. I don't know if it's because she's awakened a little bit more, or if it's the soul-replenishing power of the sea lotus.
After a moment of stalemate, the blood line was finally withdrawn slowly, and her humming sound came faintly from the air. Song Zining narrowly escaped death, his face was pale, and it was inevitable that he broke out in a cold sweat.
But Qianye's hand was still bleeding profusely. Yetong's blood energy is dark and strong, and it has the meaning of suppression, even with Qianye's recovery power, it can't be healed quickly.
Qianye held down the wound on his left hand, staring at where the blood line came from, to guard against another attack. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Song Zining might have turned into a corpse.
Yetong's voice finally came from a distance: "Come here."
"What about him?" Qianye asked in a deep voice.
"This time it's his fate."
Qianye was a little relieved, and motioned to Song Zining to get away quickly, while he walked towards the edge of the land where the wind and snow were blowing.
Walking all the way, he didn't see Yetong's figure. Qianye looked at the vast wilderness, and felt a desolate feeling of trekking in the wilderness, until the battleship where Yetong lived appeared in front of him.
The stone house where Kalinan lived was empty, and no one knew where he had gone.
Qianye continued to walk towards the battleship, suddenly his whole body shook, and he stared blankly ahead.
On the top of the battleship stood the figure that was forever engraved in his heart.
Yetong didn't avoid seeing him this time, as if he wanted to communicate with him face to face. Qianye didn't know whether to be happy or worried about such a change, but the chill deep in his heart gradually became stronger.
Qianye took a deep breath, calmed down, jumped up, stood behind Yetong, and looked in the direction of her line of sight.
In front of Yetong, a terrifying void storm was slowly forming. The airspace there has become a mass of turbulent darkness, completely covering the distant scene, and through the darkness, one can always see the real void. In the darkness, an unknown number of space gaps are being formed and intertwined with each other. The space here is extremely fragile, being torn apart by the storm of void force.
Fortunately, due to its attributes, once this kind of void storm is generated, it will basically rise upwards, or it will penetrate the protective layer of the land mass and truly fall into the void, or it will gradually weaken until it disappears. If it falls to the ground in the early stages of formation, it is simply a real disaster.
Qianye shifted his gaze to the battleship under his feet, feeling a little relieved. Although the void storm is strong, this Duke-class battleship should be able to withstand it. Besides, with Yetong's current ability, it is not impossible to go through the void storm alone.
"Where's Zhu Ji?" Yetong spoke first.
"I'm going to the Song Clan. There may be battles. It's not convenient to take her with me, so I put her to sleep in the Hall of Valor."
"Going deep into the hinterland of the empire alone, are you brave, or are you simply not afraid of death?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Yetong's words, of course Qianye could hear it, but he didn't know how to answer, so he smiled wryly, "I have to go..."
"Oh, I have to go. Then you helped Song Zining get the position of the lord?"
"… No."
Yetong finally turned around, looked into Qianye's eyes, and said, "Do you really think that no one in the empire can kill you, or is it because of some reason that you know someone will protect you, so you have nothing to fear?"
This question was even more inexplicable. Qianye didn't understand what she was talking about, and asked suspiciously: "Will someone protect me? Zhao Clan?"
In his mind, the most likely one was Zhao Clan. But now that the floating land battlefield is tight, the Zhao faction is almost out, and the important people are not in the empire, so how can they spare themselves to save themselves? From the very beginning, Qianye never thought of relying on the Zhao Clan to save him. Besides the Zhao Clan, it is even more impossible for anyone to be there.
"You know more than one Zhao Clan."
Qianye was stunned. Among the younger generation of the empire, he had a few friends, but not to mention that individuals have never been able to influence the family's decisions. The Wei family in the Far East does not have enough weight in such matters. The families of Li Kuanglan and Ji Tianqing may have some ideas , but Qianye didn't feel that the relationship with them was so good.
Since Yetong asked this question repeatedly, Qianye answered seriously: "I think, with Void Flash and the Primordial Spear, I can use a one-hit-and-go tactic. Basically, no one below the God General can stop me Even if it is a god general, I can die with him if he is forced to do so. The gods of the empire are all high-ranking, or guarding one side, or have important responsibilities, no one will come to fight with me. So even if it is the worst The situation, I should be able to escape. The Hall of Valor is waiting in the void, and unless the empire uses a large fleet, it will be even more difficult to stop it in the void."
Qianye explained very seriously, but Yetong's eyes were still cold and indifferent, "I don't know if you really don't know or pretend not to know. But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me."
"You, what do you mean?" Qianye's heart grew colder. The sense of alienation in Yetong's words became more and more obvious.
"Why don't you ask me why I want to kill Song Zining?"
Qianye said: "You didn't intend to kill him. If you really kill him, I can't hold my hand, and he can't live. As for the reason... is it because he persuaded me to separate from you?"
Yetong smiled faintly and said, "Have we ever been together after self-awakening?"
"No, but it will happen sooner or later. I always think so. If you want to climb the holy mountain, give me some time."
The coldness in Yetong's eyes finally melted a little, and he said: "You have done a good job, and the promise you gave me back then was not just a talk. In terms of combat strength, maybe there is no one in the whole Eternal Night." Better than you. If you are given time, maybe... maybe one day, you can really accompany me back to the Holy Mountain."
Qianye remained silent, watching Yetong, for fear that she would say the next sentence. But now that the words have reached this point, what difference does it make if they are announced later
But thinking of Yetong's sudden change in attitude, Qianye still asked, "Does your decision have anything to do with Song Zining?"
"There are some relationships, not all because of him. Do you still remember the sea lotus flower you gave me? It awakened me completely and restored all my memories. This is not a good thing for you. That night that year Hitomi, the past was like a big dream to me, and now I wake up from the dream."
"Shanghai Liansheng..." Qianye sighed lightly, and said, "But I got it, so I have no choice but to give it to you."
Yetong said: "I know, so, you are stupid."
Qianye forced a smile and said, "What exactly did Zining do, can you tell me?"
"It's a thing of the past, nothing can be changed, and you don't need to know. If you want an answer, then ask him directly. But the result may not be so pleasant."
There was a slight bitterness in Qianye's eyes, "I always want to know, what is it that separates you and me?"
"time."
"time?"
"time."
This reason made Qianye both understand and unable to understand. Perhaps among all the answers, this is the only reason why he can no longer work hard.
After a long silence, Qianye said: "You know, in order to finally send you to the holy mountain, I can't go any faster. If I only look at the front, I can break through to the Blood Duke in a short time, but after getting there, No matter how difficult it is to advance. For the Holy Mountain, the Duke is just a stone at the foot of the mountain. So I said, you have to give me time, and I think, you will not let you wait too long. Now no matter the Empire Eternal Night , People of the same generation as you and me, even including the witch, I can't beat at most three or five. Is this not enough? I can't give you confidence, so wait for me for a while?"
Qianye's tone was flat, but his trembling voice betrayed him.
Yetong looked at him, sighed suddenly, and said, "Normally speaking, enough is enough. But now that I'm fully awakened, I can't measure it by normality. The time has come, and I can't wait any longer. "
"What time?"
Yetong hesitated for a long time before saying, "The time when the gate of the new world opens is also the time when the new era comes."
"New world, the gate?" Qianye hadn't thought of this at all. He had never heard of the New World at all.
"It's normal for you not to know. Now this news is only circulated among a small number of high-level people. But you will know soon."
"What does the new era have to do with you and me?" Qianye's voice raised a little. He has put all his eggs in one basket and no longer hides his scruples.
"The new era has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. It is an irresistible call to all of us. When I step into the gate of the new world, I will... I will become another person. What will happen? I don't know either."
"It's like..."
"Like this awakening."
Qianye was a little hard to understand, but he finally saw the hesitation and pain hidden in Yetong's eyes. He took a step forward, stopped in front of Yetong, and said, "Can't... not go?"
"No." Yetong flatly refused, then took a deep breath, put his hand on Qianye's heart, felt his violent blood core pulse, and said: "So, you go, I should go too. From now on After that, never...see you again."
It was like a basin of ice water pouring down on his head, the bone-piercing chill made Qianye's whole body stiff, and even made him unable to say goodbye. All the past flashed through my mind in an instant.
His thoughts were frozen, like a frozen heart. When he looked up again, there were no more wind and snow, dangerous peaks, and void storms in front of him, and he had already left the edge of the landmass.
And he didn't even know how he got out.
At the end of the East China Sea, until Qianye's figure completely disappeared, Yetong never moved. She stood quietly, meditating quietly, as if she wanted to stand like this to the end of the world.
