Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and noticed that everyone's size had returned to normal size, and the influence of compressed space also disappeared with the death of Leviathan. He also discovered that the crystallization of his body was gradually fading away, and the memory of the fourth dimension was also passing away.
Jiang Cheng looked at Xu Dingjia again, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't remember the words at all. As if it was really a dream, as Jiang Cheng woke up, he realized that those experiences on the fourth-dimensional level had disappeared. The only thing Jiang Cheng could vaguely remember now seemed to be that Leviathan died in his own hands.
"Leviathan?" Jiang Cheng looked at the ashes in the sky and understood that they were the body fragments produced when Leviathan was annihilated. Those ashes-like fragments, like Jiang Cheng's memory, gradually became transparent and disappeared completely before they fell to the ground.
"What are we waiting for?" Li Feng's voice came from the side, "Why haven't we rushed out of the altar?"
Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia looked at each other and understood that Li Feng, as a mortal, had forgotten the experience of encountering Leviathan. This was not the time to explain more. The vague and evil atmosphere around them became stronger and stronger. They knew that Liang Fan was about to complete the repair work of the ritual.
"We will leave immediately. We will explain everything later." Jiang Cheng said, leading the other two people to rush out of the altar.
The low and ferocious laughter reached everyone's ears. Jiang Cheng looked forward warily and found Liang Fan slowly raising his head to look at him. Just looking at the other party, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be frightened by the other party's face. At this moment, Liang Fan's face was deathly gray, and the skin on his face was full of cracks like cracked earth. There was no blood flowing in the cracks, but instead revealed a withered yellow color. Such a strange face, coupled with that sinister sneer, gave Liang Fan a chilling ferocity. Because of Leviathan's death, Liang Fan, who shared his spirit with him, was also hit hard, but he was also a blessing in disguise, and he actually gained a trace of Leviathan's characteristics.
"It's too late! I told you before that you can't change the ending!" Liang Fan's voice changed at this time, as if it was Leviathan's mixed tone of sharp and hoarse, even the expression on his face when he spoke He became more and more domineering, as if Leviathan had descended into the three-dimensional world with the help of Liang Fan's body.
"Liang Fan, your strength is exhausted! Even Leviathan was killed by Jiang Cheng, do you still want to struggle in vain?" Xu Dingjia shouted at him while speeding away.
"Yes, because of Leviathan's death, my body was severely damaged and I was on the verge of collapse. However, it is precisely because of this that I gained a trace of Leviathan's characteristics." Liang Fan's smile became more and more distorted, and the corners of his mouth cracked with the smile. It opened, extending all the way to the base of the ear. It was so terrifying and weird that it was beyond words. He continued, "Because of that trait, I finally repaired the ritual in advance. Now, you can't escape!"
"What?" Jiang Cheng was startled, but in his heart he hoped that the other party was just bluffing. He was now only one step away from the edge of the altar, and there was no way he would back down because of the other party's words, so he took that step forward resolutely.
"Be careful!" Xu Dingjia suddenly shouted and pulled Jiang Cheng back violently.
Jiang Cheng was very surprised and said subconsciously, "What are you doing..."
Just as he was about to speak, black smoke rose into the sky from the edge of the altar, completely surrounding the three of them. This black smoke is highly corrosive. If it hadn't been for Xu Dingjia's pull, Jiangcheng would have been split into two by the black smoke rising into the sky.
Seeing the black smoke getting thicker and thicker, gradually isolating them from the outside world, Jiang Cheng still widened his eyes in disbelief. He murmured in despair: "I have done so much, why does it still end like this? Why!"
Jiang Cheng didn't know who he was asking, but he couldn't vent his frustration. He gritted his teeth and still stared straight ahead. Through the gradually thickening shadow of corrosion, Jiang Cheng vaguely saw Liang Fan behind the black smoke, laughing wildly. Chu Xueying stood aside and suddenly made a strange move.
At this time, Liang Fan thought that the big thing had been accomplished and was in ecstasy, unaware of everything happening around him. It was at this moment that Chu Xueying suddenly moved, with a fierce look in her eyes, the blade in her hand stretched out, and a cold light flashed through the air, slicing Liang Fan's neck accurately.
Amidst the dull and hoarse roar, the black smoke that was originally gaining momentum suddenly stopped and retreated underground like a tide. The scene outside the altar became clearer. Jiang Cheng was finally sure this time. He had seen correctly. Chu Xueying actually attacked Liang Fan!
"You! Why?" Liang Fan covered his neck and managed to make a sound. He emotionally asked Chu Xueying, "Why do you do this to me? Chu!"
"Chu?" Chu Xueying raised the corners of her lips, stared at the other person and teased, "I'm not your little lover."
"Could it be... Xue?" Liang Fan stared at the woman in front of him, his expression becoming more and more doubtful, "No way! You can't be Xue!"
"Snow?" Chu Xueying's eyes flashed with hatred, and she kicked Liang Fan to the ground hard, and then said with a smile: "This is the punishment for wrong answers."
Liang Fan was forced to interrupt the ceremony again due to Chu Xueying's sneak attack. His body suffered a strong backlash and was already on the verge of death. The kick he just received from the other party accelerated the loss of life, but he still refused to give up and continued to ask: "You... who are you?"
The situation turned again. Jiang Cheng and others were stunned. They couldn't understand why Chu Xueying, who had been controlled all this time, unexpectedly attacked Liang Fan. Although they were shocked inside, they still left the altar immediately, not wanting to stay in that dangerous place for even half a minute.
"I'm not Chu, not from the beginning." Chu Xueying sneered and talked, "Of course I'm not that simple-minded Xue. All of this was Cui Benshan's plan. He had already guessed everything before leaving. Everyone has fallen into your scheme. So, he and Chu Yan teamed up to set up the final line of defense."
"The last line of defense?" Jiang Cheng repeated these five words and turned to look at Xu Dingjia.
Xu Dingjia frowned and said nothing. Apparently he didn't know what the "last line of defense" meant.
Chu Xueying scanned the crowd with a cold expression and said calmly: "The last line of defense is me, Ying! The third personality of this body!"
"Multiple personalities!" Xu Dingjia suddenly realized and said: "She can actually have multiple personalities. Could it be that she is... a descendant of a foreigner!"
"Descendants of foreigners?" Jiang Cheng asked puzzledly, "Why can you confirm that Chu Xueying is a descendant of foreigners just based on her multiple personalities?"
