210 New Era (13) [End of Text]

◎They once met in a corner of the universe, and now they meet again◎

Shi Jianxia once thought that the old marshal was truly kind to her and she truly regarded him as an elder worthy of respect, but the more secrets she discovered, the more disappointed she became.

At this moment, she looked at the face that was more than twice as young as she remembered, and the uncertainty in those eyes, and chuckled softly.

"Why are you..." not dead?

The back-up plan he had hidden, coupled with Lu's self-destruction, was enough to kill her thousands of times.

But not only did she not die, she also came back from the black hole.

In perfect condition.

The nine-tailed fox paddled its four short legs and stood proudly on Shi Jianxia's shoulder, with its nine furry tails dangling back and forth, and it was almost as if the words "It's all my credit" were written on its face.

Its pride is obvious, but since no one has read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", no one knows why it is so proud.

The two phoenix cubs have always been honest and kind, and did not compete with it for the credit.

"When I shouldn't die, of course I won't die no matter what." Shi Jianxia touched the furry little head of the nine-tailed fox.

"Ever since I suspected you were the one controlling the Higanbana, I've suspected you'd tamper with the core. But I've checked it over and over again, even using instruments to test it, and I haven't found anything unusual."

"So I took a gamble, and it turned out I won."

Use [Nine Lives of the Heavenly Fox] and [Nirvana] as trump cards.

Yun Shang's face no longer had the calmness it had before. His eyes became completely gloomy, surging with a dangerous cold light. Hundreds of insect vortices floating in the universe were affected by their master's emotions and began to spin rapidly.

Shi Jianxia held the nine-tailed fox in her arms and smiled at him, "You made so many insect vortexes, are you trying to feed my little ones all at once?"

Yun Shang suddenly laughed. "Do you think you can kill me by swallowing these insect vortices?"

Shi Jianxia shook his head and said, "No, because you left the insect vortex somewhere else."

The accurate guess of the truth made Yun Shang speechless, but he soon chuckled again: "In that case, we'll see you next time."

Shi Jianxia said, "That's not good, right? I'm used to dealing with problems in one go."

Yun Shang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you think you can keep me here?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Shi Jianxia swung his Zhuyan sword. "Since you came here for the Daytime Insect Crystal, why are you leaving as soon as I show up? Don't you want to resurrect your wife?"

Another sentence that hit the nail on the head made Yun Shang's face turn pale.

Shi Jianxia didn't plan to chat with him anymore. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" reappeared in her palm, and one by one, the mimics flew out of the pages and ran towards the hundreds of insect vortices in the universe with great interest.

While Xixi wasn't paying attention, Zhou pulled out the soft hair on its forehead that was gradually turning golden. Before Xixi could glare at him, he quickly retreated several light years away, vibrating his wings and releasing invisible sound waves like the entire universe.

The ubiquitous energy carries sound waves and the light of stars, drifting to various planets.

Once Lu was killed, he would be the only king of the Zerg. No Zerg would be able to disobey his orders until the next high-level Zerg appeared and tried to challenge his authority.

The Zerg that was attacking the human base sensed the sound waves from the distant universe, stopped its attack, and quickly crawled back to the vortex in the shocked and surprised eyes of the mimicry users.

The vortex, like a devil's one-eyed monster, began to rotate forward, becoming smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared from human sight.

Coincidentally, on all the planets in the human universe, the rampant low-level Zerg crawled back into the vortex one after another.

Amidst the ruins and smoke, some blinked in bewilderment, unable to believe the Zerg would actually leave on their own accord. Others, after a brief moment of stunned silence, erupted in violent cheers...

-

The black-gold light and the gray-black light collided with each other, and the energies interacted. No one was willing to submit to the other, and violent explosions filled the entire universe!

Shi Jianxia held the Zhu Yan sword and blocked Yun Shang's torrential attack. He raised his lips provocatively at him, "Is this all you have? I'm afraid it's not enough to kill me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned from defense to offense, and the fierce sword in her hand almost left an afterimage. Those who were forced to defend were instantly in the clouds.

朏朏 brought a large number of younger brothers, flailing their limbs and wantonly devouring the insect vortexes that appeared in various parts of the universe.

As more and more insect vortices disappeared, the power on the cloud became weaker, and even the young appearance gradually turned into old age, showing signs of fatigue, and the eyes even flashed rapidly, fading from the dark black.

How can he be so strong!

Didn’t she just get promoted to the Holy Realm?

When she was fighting with Lu, she was not so strong!

How could her strength increase so terribly just by entering a black hole?

Yun Shang was extremely frightened, and at this critical moment, he had no time to think about what happened to Shi Jianxia. He couldn't help but sneer: "I should have killed you directly when I discovered your existence."

Shi Jianxia retorted, "You won't do that. You still want me to deal with the Zerg. Without me, you wouldn't have found the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and hunt down so many high-level Zerg, turning you into a half-human, half-bug-like creature now."

She ignored Yunshang's ugly expression and kicked him in the side, sending him flying and rolling several times in the universe.

After delivering the order, Zhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a gloating laugh, but before he could finish laughing, the injuries in his body were aroused again, and he covered his lips and coughed lightly twice.

朏朏 came up to him while he wasn't paying attention, and landed her butt on his back, causing him to stagger several meters. Before she could come to settle the score with her, she paddled away on her four short legs.

Shi Jianxia flashed behind Yun Shang and swung Zhu Yan's long sword high. However, the latter was more agile than she had imagined. He managed to stabilize his body in this situation and raised the heavy sword in his hand to resist!

The expected counterattack did not come, and Yun Shang was sent flying backwards by the sword she chopped down. On his flying path, a gray-black vortex of insects opened silently and swallowed him!

Shi Jianxia's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Zhou and said, "Go check on your parents first. I'll take care of things here!"

Zhou had already achieved the purpose of coming to the human universe, and he also knew that Yunshang was now a lost dog, and no matter how hard he ran, it would be a dying struggle. So he didn't bother to be polite with him, and rubbed the furry head of Xixi hard. Before it pounced on him, he opened the vortex and disappeared into the universe.

Shi Jianxia did not delay, tore open the space crack and disappeared in the ruins of the universe.

-

Bang!

The two fists collided, and the nearby meteorites could not withstand the impact of the overly powerful force and shattered into pieces.

Pei Qin took a step back, looked at the man who was once his comrade-in-arms, and slowly exhaled.

I originally thought that the Zerg were the biggest enemy of mankind, but I never thought that the old marshal, who was regarded as a belief by countless people in the Federation, would hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything.

He didn't say much. Since he had already stood in the opposing camp, he firmly told others his choice.

At this moment, a shocking explosion came from the meteorite behind.

The man who was about to continue his attack noticed the movement and turned around hurriedly. He saw a golden-blue fish tail tumbling through the flames, while his companion was thrown out by the explosion.

Realizing that he had fallen into a trap, the man cursed and was about to go to support, but was stopped by the dense thunder balls around him.

Pei Qin said coldly: "Your opponent is me!"

He had consumed a lot of physical strength in the previous battle, but the strong ones in the Sanctuary are different from ordinary people with mimicry abilities and have extremely strong recovery abilities.

The opponent's strength is comparable to his. Even if he cannot win, or even loses in the end due to poor condition, he can still stop the opponent and delay time.

At the same time, Gongye Jiwang and Wen Qiuqiu rushed out of the exploded fortress.

Beside him, a state-of-the-art treatment cabin was floating. Golden-blue energy flowed on the surface of the cabin, reflecting the face of the woman inside.

She looked to be no more than thirty years old, with her hands folded in front of her abdomen, her expression quiet and peaceful, with a slight smile on the corners of her lips, as if she had dreamed of something interesting.

The holy land that was blasted out by Gongye Jiwang stopped quickly in the universe, and without thinking, it wanted to fight for the treatment cabin.

Gongye Jiwang raised his hand and placed it on the treatment cabin, calmly threatening: "Don't move, or I will be rude to her!"

Of course, he would not really hurt the woman lying in the treatment cabin, but he did not want to continue wasting time here and wanted the two sanctuaries to be cautious.

As he expected, the two men who were about to attack stopped at this sentence, and one of them said coldly: "Hand it over!"

Gongye Jiwang was surprised and said, "This is the life-saving talisman I got with great difficulty. How can I return it to you?"

Wen Qiuqiu glanced at him silently.

I wonder if this sea god realized that his expression and behavior now were exactly the same as when Shi Jianxia was doing something bad.

She thought inappropriately: Is this what a couple looks like?

Gongye Jiwang's words made the other party's face change again and again, and he realized that he was not qualified to negotiate with him now.

Thinking of the old marshal's instructions before he left, the man slowly clenched his hands hanging by his side. His pupils flashed rapidly, and suddenly turned into a pair of compound eyes. A gray-black worm vortex rotating counterclockwise appeared behind him.

Gongye Jiwang narrowed his eyes. "I originally thought that the members of the Yunshang Legion were the backbone of the Federation, and would rather die than go along with the Zerg. I never thought I was mistaken."

The man's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "What do you know? Humanity is so weak. Even if we awaken our mimicry, how many of us can achieve the Holy Land? The pace of the Zerg invasion is accelerating. If we don't change, the only way we will end up is extinction!"

Gongye Jiwang sneered, "So you used the power of the Zerg to ascend to the Holy Land, but when the Zerg invaded the human universe, you hid in this corner and watched your compatriots die in the Zerg tide?"

His words were like a thunderbolt, striking down from above the heads of the two Saints, leaving them with broken bodies and trembling minds.

Gong Yeji saw their reaction and sneered again, "Some things are just for lying to yourself."

He was about to take Wen Qiuqiu and the treatment cabin away when he saw a gray-black vortex suddenly open in the distant universe.

Before everyone could react to what was happening, a figure flew out like a cannonball, slamming heavily into a huge meteorite, smashing it into pieces, and continued to smash through dozens of meteorites before finally landing on the ruins of a fortress.

Wen Qiuqiu suddenly opened her eyes wide and could barely recognize that the person who fell out was Yun Shang.

Immediately afterwards, a space crack opened up beside the worm vortex, and Shi Jianxia, ​​whose clothes were damaged, walked out of it. Her white ankle stepped on a small flying meteorite and flew straight towards everyone.

The two saints were facing a formidable enemy, but Shi Jianxia didn't even glance at them. Instead, he nodded to Gongye Jiwang and Wen Qiuqiu, and gave Pei Qin the healing effect of [Spring Breeze and Rain].

Pei Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her appear in such a strong posture.

Then look at Yunshang, who is covered in dust and dirt and crawling out of the ruins.

He had completely returned to his old appearance. His face was drooping softly, and his military uniform was torn on the left and right. Where was his previous serious and arrogant look?

He opened his eyes in embarrassment and saw the situation in the meteorite belt clearly. He was stunned for a moment, but soon he found the treatment cabin controlled by Gongye Jiwang's power.

The pair of old and dead eyes suddenly grew larger, and red bloodshot lines appeared on the gray whites of the eyes.

He didn't care who was around him or what situation he was in. He rushed towards the woman lying in the treatment cabin like a madman, but when he was about to touch her, he was bounced away by a black and gold light.

Shi Jianxia saw him fall out and then rush back immediately. He sighed slowly and moved to the side.

Ji Yang cut off the firewood from under the cauldron and took away the trump card that restrained Yun Shang, but given his current condition, this trump card was no longer useful.

Yun Shang only had eyes for the woman lying in the treatment cabin. He flew over and lay on the treatment cabin, tears streaming down his old face. He called out in a low voice: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

Of course, the woman who had long been dead could not respond to him. She just lay there peacefully, immersed in her own sleep.

Yunshang said to her intermittently, "I'm sorry," "I broke the appointment," "Have you felt wronged?" and so on.

As he spoke, he started laughing again and told her how many Zerg he had killed today. He sighed again and said it was a pity that his daughter was still not found. However, he quickly changed his words and said that there would be a clue soon.

In the dull universe, his voice is the only one.

Shi Jianxia listened to his illogical and incoherent words, and waved to Xixi who jumped into Gongye Jiwang's arms and acted coquettishly.

The big fat cub immediately ran towards her in doggy style, tilting his furry head with a puzzled look.

Shi Jianxia tapped its eyebrows, and the big fat cub seemed to understand something, and its big round eyes fell on Yunshang.

Immediately, she gently patted the nine-tailed fox's head. After the little white fox rubbed her cheek gently, it jumped onto Zhaoyao Mountain, flew to the only remaining insect vortex on the cloud, and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the insect vortex disappeared, Yunshang's face became even older, and a thick aura of death filled his surroundings.

He seemed to have accepted his fate and had no intention of resisting.

As early as half a century ago, his life had come to an end, but there were too many things in his heart that he was unwilling to accept and he did not want to die like this.

The Zerg recklessly invaded the human universe. His gentle and kind wife died trying to save him, and his daughter, lost in the Zerg plague, has yet to be found...

He was unwilling to accept any of these things, and he spent his entire life for humanity.

In his dreams at midnight, he would think that if he had not had so many ridiculous ambitions when he was young, his wife would not have died to save him, and he would not have to hold the line, knowing that his daughter was lost in the insect plague but unable to find her.

In fact, he also knew that his wife would never wake up again and his daughter had already died in the insect plague.

But I just can't accept it.

I can't accept that I saved so many people but couldn't save the two most important people in my life.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear Shi Qing's voice. She held her daughter's hand and called him gently, "Yun Shang, why haven't you come home yet? The baby and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

In the hazy light and shadow, Yunshang looked at the mother and daughter standing at the end of the light, and stumbled towards them.

Shi Jianxia touched Xixi's head, and it meowed sweetly.

Yunshang lay on the treatment cabin, dead.

Goodbye, Marshal Yunshang.

This is the last time I call you this.

When Shi Jianxia turned around, a huge force suddenly hit her from the side. Gongye Jiwang hugged her tightly, "Xia Xia, are you hurt?"

Shi Jianxia Wei tilted her head back, quietly touched the beautiful fish tail at hand, and said calmly, "No~"

Gongye Jiwang didn't believe it.

How could he not be injured when his clothes are so torn?

He let go of her hand, raised his head with slightly red eyes, looked at Shi Jianxia's jaw, and kissed her hard.

They once met in a corner of the universe and met again today.

[Year of Jiachen, Month of Jisi, Day of Yiwei]
