124. Chapter 124 I am not qualified to forgive you. The grudge should be settled tonight. It is so painful.

Chapter 124 I am not qualified to forgive you. The grudges should be settled tonight. It is extremely painful.

The mountains trembled, and rays of divine light shot up from the dark mountains, like stars falling from the sky, covering all directions.

There was murderous intent in all directions. One flag after another fell, forming some kind of star-like pattern.

The misty fog spread out and attacked Jiang Ruxian who was standing at the gate of the ruined temple.

Her expression was calm, and she just raised her hands a few times, and powerful rune waves spread out, like raging waves hitting the sky and rocks crashing against the shore, and the several figures that were rushing towards her were all sent flying.

puff……

Blood instantly spilled from the sky, and those figures fell towards the surrounding mountains like broken sacks, instantly losing their combat effectiveness. In an instant, countless mountains were destroyed.

Smoke and dust rolled, ancient trees broke, and countless leaves fell.

In the temple, the bonfire is bright.

Liu, startled by the noise from outside, was trembling with fear. Not knowing what had happened, she ran out in a hurry. However, before she stepped out of the temple, she was blocked by an invisible force.

"Miss Ru...Miss Ruxian, what's going on?" she asked tremblingly.

"Just hide in the temple and don't come out."

Jiang Ruxian did not look back, her eyes were cold and calm, without any ups and downs.

The moment she stepped into the mountains, she noticed the murderous intent set up here, but she did not show any abnormality at the time. She also wanted to know who set the trap to kill her.

The sudden attack from a group of powerful men at this moment was naturally expected.

At this moment, Jiang Ruxian already knew who sent these powerful men.

So she had held back in those few attacks just now, and didn't really kill with her moves.

"yes……"

Liu trembled and said that she had never encountered such a terrible scene in her memory. She hurriedly hid back in the temple.

And in the deep and dark mountains, at this moment, the rosy glow still rises into the sky, and runes flicker one after another, turning into forbidden array patterns, stirring up the momentum of heaven and earth.

Other figures appeared in the deep forest, floating in the air and flashing not far away, with the fluctuations of magical instruments in their hands spreading, including ancient bells, bronze swords, magic lamps, Taoist diagrams... wrapped in brilliant light, like rain, overwhelming and flooding, revealing a terrible murderous intent.

"kill!"

The sound of the charge was not affected at all by the figures that were just knocked away.

These figures appeared and disappeared in the misty formation, ready to fight against powerful enemies.

One after another, the ancient magical powers were performed, and the divine light was shining brightly, penetrating the four areas. The scene was extremely chaotic, and it was all filled with a fierce aura.

Jiang Ruxian's entire body was covered in fairy mist. Her tall and slender figure was hazy as she stood there, as if she was isolated from everyone in a world.

She shook her head slightly, sighed softly, and stretched out her jade-white hand forward. The already dark and gloomy night sky seemed even more silent.

The overwhelming and vast power rumbled away, the void roared, and the mountains shook.

Several magical weapons that had not yet hit her were hit by the aftermath of this force and shattered into powder with a crackling sound.

The figures whose minds were connected to the magic weapon were struck by lightning. They spurted out blood, were severely injured, and fell to the ground.

"This woman's strength is really too strong..."

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Work together to take her down."

Many of the ministers and retainers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were frightened, their expressions changed again and again, and they quickly changed their countermeasures.

In another direction, there were several figures in charge of the formation. They were sitting cross-legged in the void, constantly making seals with their hands and muttering to themselves.

The great trend of heaven and earth was once again aroused, and all the vital energy gathered and rushed towards the area where they were.

In the vast array lit by blazing starlight, large flags trembled and fluttered, emitting a terrifying whistle like the wind. A vague breath gushed out from the flags, like rolling black fog or raging waves.

Under the starry sky, thunder and lightning began to flash, dark clouds gathered, and the celestial phenomena began to change. The rumbling sound of thunder resounded throughout the fields, scaring all the beasts to prostrate themselves.

Dazzling and blazing streaks of lightning streaked rapidly across the night sky, and then struck down into the formation.

At the same time, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, the relatively clear night sky suddenly became filled with heavy rain and dull thunder.

Runes moved together piece by piece, transforming into all kinds of terrifying visions, including thunder in the sky, fire in the ground, rivers, lakes, and mountains...

This kind of energy was so terrifying that it seemed as if it had truly manifested here and was rushing towards Jiang Ruxian.

The surrounding mountains were completely destroyed. A divine light fell to the ground, turning the place into a scorched earth. The rest of the chaotic energy spread, ancient trees broke, and mountain peaks fractured.

Jiang Ruxian remained cool and calm, with her skirt not even rising or falling.

She rolled up her sleeves, and the void in front of her was torn apart in an instant. A terrifying huge crack went through, spreading rapidly like a spider web, and in an instant, it swallowed up all the breath fluctuations that came over.

All the rune fluctuations and magical tools were directly swallowed up by the cracked void fissure.

Seeing such a scene, the faces of many worshippers who were so frightened that they could not take action changed drastically again, and finally they felt a trace of trembling and horror.

Jiang Ruxian once again extended her flawless jade hand, and the heavy rain in front of her seemed to have stopped.

With a loud bang!!! She slapped it down and the boundless essence of heaven and earth gathered there. The broken mountains and steaming water mist seemed to come alive.

As her palm reached down, it continued to shatter and reorganize, turning into an incomparably huge white palm that covered the sky and emerged in the night sky. The moment it slapped down, it was like a flawless female fairy who was about to destroy the world.

Under this kind of aura, not to mention a mountain range, even a city would explode and turn into dust.

Strong, so strong that it makes people despair! At this moment, this is the horrified thought that arises in the minds of all the ministers and retainers of the Xiangguo Mansion at the same time.

Even the three seventh-level beings who were waiting in the dark for an opportunity to strike had their expressions constantly changing, and they had no intention of resisting.

Chila...

The misty formation was torn apart in an instant. The figures sitting cross-legged in the void coughed up blood and fell down one after another. The large flags arranged in all directions broke with a crack as they trembled. The flags were destroyed and exploded directly.

Jiang Ruxian watched this scene without any change in her eyes.

The torrential rain was endless, falling from the sky continuously, just like a river in the sky bursting its banks, turning into a vast curtain of rain, making the whole world dark.

In the vast and deep night, thunder occasionally roars, illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice something and looked over. She seemed to see a slender figure in white on the top of the cliff in the distance, watching the scene quietly.

"Ah...Lan..."

Jiang Ruxian's jade-like face was obscured by the mist, and her red lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say those two words out loud.

But at this moment, there was an indescribable pain and sourness in my heart.

She reached out her hand and touched her heart. She seemed to be able to see the indifferent gaze of the figure in the distance through the rain, and she felt even more pain in her heart.

"You...really want to kill me..."

She asked in a murmur, and seemed to want to walk towards that place at this moment.

"Protect the young master."

Mr. Chu, Taoist Qingxu, and Jiang Yu, who had been secretly holding back, finally couldn't hold back anymore after seeing this scene.

Their figures disappeared from the spot, and they used their own methods and fields to stop Jiang Ruxian.

In the heavy rain, the light was even more brilliant. Mr. Chu sacrificed an ancient talisman with an inexplicable aura flowing through it.

The entire mountain range seemed to have revived, the rocks rumbled, the earth cracked, and dark red flames gushed out from it. Even heavy rain could not extinguish it.

Taoist Qingxu waved the whisk in his hand, attracting the energy of the heaven and earth, muttering something, and then opened his five fingers to guide the true thunder of heaven and earth to descend, which transformed into one purple dragon after another with thunder and flashing lightning, rushing towards Jiang Ruxian.

As for Jiang Crocodile, he roared angrily, like the king of all monsters. His roar was like thunder, and it seemed as if the sound was so loud but silent. One mountain after another exploded and turned into dust under his roar.

The scene was extremely thrilling when the three beings of the seven realms attacked together.

Such terrifying and vast power is enough to kill any cultivator at the sixth level in an instant and explode into blood mist.

Facing the combined attack of the three, Jiang Ruxian didn't even turn her head back. The rain that was overwhelming the sky seemed to be separated by an invisible area in front of her.

The magical powers of the three men couldn't even get close to her, as if they were isolated in another world.

"Immune to all attacks..."

Taoist Qingxu's expression changed, he looked a little horrified and trembling, and finally understood why Jiang Lan was so cautious and required the three of them not to be careless.

This mysterious woman's power is so terrifying that she is simply a monster.

With this kind of natural talent, it can be said that she is invincible. Not to mention those who are not as good as her in cultivation, even those who are at the same level will be suppressed by her.

puff……

At this moment, Jiang Ruxian seemed to have just noticed that there were three people attacking from behind.

But she still did not look back, her eyes still fixed on the figure on the top of the cliff in the distance. She just spread out her sleeves and waved them backwards, as if to drive away the buzzing flies.

With a bang, a terrifying force of billions of tons exploded, and the void shook, turning it into a piece of torn paper.

"What……"

"impossible……"

Mr. Chu, Taoist Qingxu, and Jiang Yu's faces changed, and they felt severe pain in their chests, as if they were hit in the face by a terrifying mountain. In an instant, they didn't know how many ribs were broken, their internal organs were displaced, and then blood spurted out of their mouths and they flew out.

They were shocked and found it unbelievable.

In front of Jiang Ruxian, they were actually not much different from the sixth realm cultivators. They were injured by just such a casual attack.

Boom!!!

The mountains trembled, the rain became heavier, and dark clouds rolled in, one after another, making the whole world dark and deep. Occasionally, lightning flashed, illuminating a small area.

Jiang Ruxian recalled the day when her heart was dug out and it was raining heavily in the sky.

In the deep forest, lightning struck, and the rain was heavy and sudden. She was buried in the muddy soil. If the heavy rain had not washed away the mud, she would not have been saved by the grandmother...

Does the heavy rain like tonight seem to be foreshadowing something?

Her steps towards the cliff suddenly slowed down, but the next moment, her steps became more firm.

Originally, she hadn't figured out how to face Jiang Lan. During this period, fantasies often flashed through her mind about the two of them meeting again in this life.

But no matter which scene it was, it would end up like in my memory. Under the bloody maple tree, the young man in white, with blood on his chest and pierced by a sword, looked at me with wide eyes, full of confusion...

At the top of the cliff, the rain was pouring down. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be filled with only heavy rain and thunder.

Jiang Lan was also dressed in a white dress that was whiter than snow and spotless, and his black hair was still stained with some moisture from the rain and fog.

He just watched Jiang Ruxian approach quietly, without choosing to step back or leave.

Jiang Ruxian also looked at him and walked over slowly. After a moment, she stopped in front of Jiang Lan.

The hazy rain mist rose up around the two of them.

Although the whole world was filled with the sound of pouring rain and dull thunder, it seemed that all the sounds suddenly disappeared in the ears of the two people.

Jiang Lan's face was calm, but at this moment he frowned silently and put down his hand that was on his heart.

He originally thought that the memories of his original body had little to do with him, and that he could stay out of it and read through them like an outsider.

But at this moment, there was still an unspeakable pain spreading from his chest. The wound that was pierced by Jiang Ruxian inexplicably began to split, and blood slowly seeped out, staining his chest red...

Through the wound, fairy-like light began to diffuse and seep out, and his exquisite fairy heart with seven orifices began to beat violently out of his control.

Although he was controlling his life force and trying to repair the wound, it soon opened again.

An emotion of pain, powerlessness, sadness, grief, confusion, emptiness... inexplicably emerged in his mind along with the wound.

This seems to have become an obsession that has penetrated into the bones and is engraved in this body.

Although the wound healed, the scar left behind remained in the fairy's heart with seven orifices.

"It turns out that I don't really care..."

"It's just that I've already lost all hope, so naturally, nothing matters to me anymore."

Jiang Lan laughed in his heart, but his face was calm, his expression did not change at all, and his eyes were as deep as an ancient well with no bottom in sight.

"Long time no see, Jiang Ruxian..."

He spoke first, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. His tone was casual and natural, yet with a sense of indifference and alienation.

Jiang Ruxian stood not far in front of him, staring blankly at the blood that kept seeping out of his chest. She could faintly see the fairy light shining through the wound under the white clothes stained by the blood.

In her eyes, the pupils were trembling violently and her eyelashes were shaking constantly.

She touched her heart and could feel a kind of coldness, pain, despair... and utter despair coming from it as if connected by blood.

"Ah...Alan..."

Hearing this familiar voice, the blood color on her lips quietly disappeared, and she seemed to be trembling and opening.

The two words that had not been shouted for a long time now seemed extremely pale and weak, and even the voice was dry.

At this moment, the pain that was difficult to describe in words was like countless sharp thorns piercing her heart, causing her so much pain that it seemed as if she was about to suffocate.

Jiang Ruxian finally understood how Jiang Lan felt when she pierced his chest with a sword in the courtyard. The coldness, pain, confusion, bewilderment... and the final despair before his life ended.

All the arguments and words that I had wanted to say on the way to Zhongtianzhou collapsed at this moment.

She couldn't utter anything, her lips were trembling slightly, and even shouting out those two words seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Jiang Lan seemed to fall silent at this address which he had not heard for a long time.

And the next moment, a suffocating pain suddenly arose in the heart of the Seven-Aperture Fairy, which seemed to make him frown subconsciously and reach out to touch it.

“This feeling is really uncomfortable.”

"However, I haven't heard this name for a long time. It really makes me miss it."

"But when I heard it from you, it seemed a little too harsh..." Jiang Lan seemed to shake his head slightly.

Jiang Ruxian's flawless face turned pale again and her hands clenched tighter.

"sorry……"

Her pupils kept trembling and her pale, bloodless lips moved, trying her best to make her voice sound calmer and peaceful.

The powerful and unrivaled mind and character that he had cultivated in his previous life seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She was no longer the number one fairy in Jiuzhou. She seemed to be just a weak woman who was at a loss and full of powerlessness...

"sorry?"

"Why are you saying sorry to me?"

Jiang Lan's mouth seemed to raise a mocking arc, and he still shook his head gently, saying, "I can't bear your apology."

"If I have to say sorry, it should be me who should be sorry to you, it should be my Jiang family who should be sorry to you..."

At this point, Jiang Lan seemed to be mocking her. He looked at her and said, "I was about to send someone to kill you, but you still said sorry to me, Jiang Ruxian. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"sorry……"

"I am sorry for you..."

"You've never...never done anything sorry to me..."

"It's my fault. I made you become like this..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruxian still stared at him blankly, her eyelashes trembling constantly, and she repeated this sentence weakly.

"That's enough."

"Jiang Ruxian."

Jiang Lan interrupted her calmly, his eyes revealing indifference, and said, "Put away your guilty and self-blaming look. I don't need your pity, let alone your sympathy and guilt. Do you know... the way you look now really makes me feel disgusted and sick."

At this point, he could clearly feel waves of stabbing pain, weakness and sourness coming from his heart.

This heart, which originally belonged to Jiang Ruxian, is now beating alive in his chest, and he can still feel the emotions of the original owner Jiang Ruxian.

This feeling of being connected to each other is really uncomfortable.

"You...are you really that disgusted with me?"

Jiang Ruxian's face became even paler. She reached out her hand and touched her heart, but her eyes were looking straight at Jiang Lan, as if she wanted to see the changes in his emotions on his familiar face.

But...it didn't.

Nothing at all.

Apart from the calmness, there is also a deep indifference, as if looking at a person who is extremely unfamiliar.

Jiang Lan was reborn and returned to the present. He hated her, wanted to kill her, and took revenge on her, but she didn't care. She could accept anything.

But now, seeing his cold and ruthless look of disgust, she really felt her heart trembling as if it was about to break.

“…”

Jiang Lan just looked at Jiang Ruxian and didn't answer.

Jiang Ruxian smiled miserably. Although she tried her best to remain calm, she still repeated the question with a trembling voice, "Do I make you so disgusted now..."

"The face I least want to see right now is yours." Jiang Lan looked at her calmly.

Jiang Ruxian's body trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped later.

She bit her lips, and a streak of blood instantly slid down her lips.

At this moment, the sounds of thunder and heavy rain in my ears seemed to suddenly become clear.

Jiang Lan just looked at her, indifferent.

Jiang Ruxian stared blankly at Jiang Lan who was right in front of her. They were so close, yet they seemed so far away, so far away that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to touch him.

The corner of her mouth curled up in a self-deprecating arc.

Then, this arc of self-mockery seemed to expand into a smile. This smile was weird. It was clearly a smile, but the eyes were filled with sadness.

She forced herself to smile with sadness and murmured,

“Sorry…”

"I don't want this to happen, I don't want things to turn out like this..."

"I thought... I always thought that you might actually forgive me..."

"I am not qualified to forgive you."

"The Jiang Lan you knew is already dead. I am not qualified to make any decisions for him."

Jiang Lan looked at her, his emotions not changing at all.

Jiang Ruxian looked at him dully, her heart twitching and silent pain spreading.

No matter what she did, Jiang Lan in this life was no longer the same person he used to be. He had died in the previous life, and now he came back to take revenge on all his former enemies...

"Why is this happening..."

"I know that you still hate me. You hate me for being too selfish. You hate me for betraying your trust. You hate me for being indiscriminate. You hate me for stabbing you with the sword. You hate me for causing you to suffer from illness and causing you to fall from grace..."

"I deserve all this bitterness."

Jiang Ruxian raised her head, and was instantly engulfed by rain and fog.

Her face was wet and her black hair was stuck together. I couldn't tell if it was a mixture of rain or tears. Her voice seemed to be choked with sobs.

Jiang Lan still looked at her, and just shook his head when he heard her, and said calmly, "I don't hate you, and I have no right to hate you. I have not experienced the pain and despair when you had your heart dug out, and I don't know how you survived that death situation. I am even less qualified to ask you to let go of your hatred for my parents..."

"I just want to put an end to the feud between us once and for all."

"From now on, we have no relationship at all. If you want to kill my parents, I will kill you too."

His words were so calm that they were drowned out by the heavy rain.

But Jiang Ruxian heard it clearly. Her heart was twitching and her lips were turning pale. She felt that something that belonged to her was getting farther and farther away from her at this moment, so far that she could not catch it or get it back.

"No... please don't do this..."

"Those things have nothing to do with you. You knew nothing at the time. Because of the Seven-Aperture Immortal Heart, you not only lost your cultivation, but also suffered backlash and illness..."

Her voice trembled, and she suddenly rushed forward and hugged Jiang Lan. Her whole body was shaking as if she was afraid of losing something.

"Every one of these things happened because of me. What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?"

"I really hate the way you look at me with sympathy and pity. Instead of being like this, Jiang Ruxian, you might as well be straightforward and kill me like before."

At this moment, Jiang Lan's mouth corners seemed to raise a mocking arc. He laughed and looked at Jiang Ruxian. Then he stretched out his hand and pushed her away slowly.

His tone was still calm, but with a hint of sneer, and he said, "If you hadn't met the wet nurse, would you have come to the imperial capital and killed me again like you did in the courtyard last time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruxian suddenly froze, and her hands and feet seemed to become a little cold.

"I actually had a dream some time ago, you know?"

"I dreamed that I was killed by a son-in-law named Lin Fan. Not only that, but even the Prime Minister's Mansion was destroyed because of that guy."

"And even after I died, you still refused to let me go. You didn't find my body, and you directly destroyed my cenotaph. You didn't want to leave even a trace of my existence."

"Jiang Ruxian, do you really hate me that much?"

Looking at Jiang Ruxian who had fallen silent and dazed, Jiang Lan continued to speak calmly, as if he was talking about something that did not belong to him.

Jiang Ruxian just stared at him blankly, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, with unspeakable bitterness and regret welling up in her heart.

Because that was indeed what she did in her previous life.

She originally thought that Jiang Lan was reborn before he died in his previous life, but she didn't expect that he even knew what happened after his death...

Perhaps, he was not reborn, but just knew some things in the originally predetermined future timeline.

"I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect that after I went to Yuyi City, I really met a son-in-law of the Su family named Lin Fan. He has a very talented and beautiful fiancée named Su Qinghan..."

"This was exactly the same as the dream I had, so I tried to kill him."

"I think that dream must be true..."

Jiang Lan was still speaking calmly.

Jiang Ruxian didn't know how to face him.

At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly swept over Jiang Ruxian's body. The originally vast and boundless magic power seemed to be disconnected from her perception at this moment.

Her spiritual sea seemed to suddenly become empty and silent, without any movement, and her magical power to destroy the world also disappeared.

Jiang Ruxian was stunned, then quickly reacted.

Just now, a colorless and odorless breath spread and was inhaled into her body without her noticing.

"Did you finally notice it?"

Jiang Lan seemed to have noticed Jiang Ruxian's reaction at this time.

Jiang Ruxian looked at him in a daze.

"This thing is called Soft Soul Immortal Powder, and it is made from Rouge Peace Grass. Just inhaling a little bit can dissolve the power that seals a powerful cultivator."

"Although you are very powerful, Jiang Ruxian, you cannot break through the effect of the medicine in such a short time..."

Jiang Lan took out a small white jade bottle with the stopper opened in front of her and spoke calmly as if explaining something.

Some time ago, he contacted Xiao Yingyue from Yaowang Valley, wanting her to come to the imperial capital and inquire about the refining of Soft Soul Immortal Powder.

Xiao Yingyue was not interested in the Southern Hunting Exercise and had no intention of coming, but she instructed her disciples to send over a few bottles of the refined Soft Soul Immortal Powder.

Jiang Lan had taken the antidote in advance, so there was no problem.

In such a close range, Jiang Ruxian would not be on guard against him. As long as he was infected a little, the disease would quickly break out. However, considering his cultivation level, it is estimated that it would not have much effect. At most, it could only seal him for a while.

"Soft Soul Immortal Powder..."

Jiang Ruxian looked at the small white jade bottle with a dimmed look in her eyes. She didn't expect that Jiang Lan would do such a thing in secret.

She had heard the name of this thing in her previous life. If she had been on guard, she would not have fallen into its trap.

Moreover, the effect of this Soft Soul Immortality Powder on her is very limited.

The reason why she felt sad was that Jiang Lan had actually prepared such a method in advance to deal with her...

Now, is he planning to kill himself?

Jiang Ruxian still stared at Jiang Lan in a daze, allowing the heavy rain to wash over her and soak her completely.

Jiang Lan ignored her gaze.

In his hand, there was a rusty and mottled ancient sword with some gaps on the blade. It was unknown in which era it was forged. It exuded an ancient and vast aura, but it did not conceal its sharpness.

Jiang Ruxian recognized the origin of this ancient sword. It was Lin Fan’s natal sword, the Eternal Tribulation Sword, in his previous life.

After Lin Fan died, she broke him into pieces with one palm, and they were scattered everywhere.

At this moment, looking at Jiang Lan's actions, her heart inexplicably calmed down and felt relieved. If this was the case, he would feel better, so what if she was willing to be killed?

"Alan..."

Jiang Ruxian spoke again, wanting to tell him that if he wanted to take revenge on her, she would accept anything, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that she had no right to say so.

Jiang Lan's expression was unusually calm at this moment.

He looked at the Eternal Sword in his hand, felt the beating of his heart, and did not hesitate at all.

"The grudge between you and me should be settled tonight..."

The next moment, Jiang Ruxian's pupils suddenly trembled violently.

There was a "puff" sound and a sky full of blood-colored light flooded in front of her eyes. The crystal-clear light like blood diamonds blurred everything in front of her eyes.
