The woman didn't stop attacking; instead, she threw the child in her arms at her.
Lu Qing instinctively caught it, but the five-year-old child also revealed the same ferocious smile as the woman, and then opened his mouth to bite Lu Qing's neck hard.
Lu Qing grabbed his collar and pulled him off her.
The child then turned and bit Lu Qing's hand, forcing her to let go.
The woman immediately turned and ran with her child, and the man from before also ran away.
Lu Qing was about to chase after him when Gu Xicheng quickly stopped her:
"Qingqing, something's wrong here! Don't chase after them!"
Lu Qing stopped and looked around.
The city looked as if it had just been through a catastrophe, with cars parked haphazardly everywhere on the streets.
The ground was littered with all sorts of things, just like a city ravaged by zombies in a movie.
"What exactly happened here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a memory was forcibly inserted into their minds.
The container was destroyed, the Wrathful King was resurrected, and a large number of Wrathful Clan members rampaged and ravaged the human world.
They possess humans, inciting the evil within them, prompting them to commit crimes, making humanity increasingly violent, and gradually turning the world into a paradise for the violent.
The whole world has fallen.
"not good!"
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qingxuan immediately thought of their families and rushed to the Gu and Chu families.
As they continued on their journey, they saw countless people possessed by the evil race, but they didn't have time to save them one by one.
The two went to the Gu family and the Chu family separately.
Before they even went inside, they could hear the sounds of arguing and fighting.
Meanwhile, inside the Chu family villa, everyone was locked in a fierce battle, their eyes bloodshot, unable to recognize each other.
Lu Qing immediately released the Nine Nether Lotus Flame to destroy the evil race within them.
The crowd gradually regained their senses.
Chu Panshan panicked when he saw Han Ziyuan lying unconscious in front of him.
"Wife! Wife, wake up! Don't scare me!"
Han Ziyuan was choked and suffocated for a long time. Even after the evil spirits in her body disappeared, she still couldn't wake up.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing hurriedly ran over.
Seeing Han Ziyuan's lifeless face, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.
In just a moment, Lu Qing calmed down.
Now was not the time to cry, so she quickly wiped away her tears and began to help Han Ziyuan.
Her Qi carefully circulated through Han Ziyuan's body.
Finally, Han Ziyuan coughed lightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Lu Qing was overjoyed and quickly hugged her:
"Mother!"
Chu Panshan hugged the two of them, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing this, the older brothers all came over and hugged them.
Outside, the disaster is far from over.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng met up after settling their families.
At this moment, the divine spirit emerged from Gu Xicheng's sea of consciousness, transforming into a phantom and standing before them.
"The Wrathful King has been resurrected. The only way to eliminate the malevolent energy in the world is to sacrifice Lu Qing and activate the Demon-Slaying Array."
Lu Qing, are you willing?
Lu Qing's eyes flickered: "After the sacrifice, will my soul be completely scattered, and will I even lose the possibility of reincarnation?"
Yan nodded: "Didn't you already prepare for this?"
Lu Qing lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile:
"Yes! I've been prepared for this for a long time, but knowing I have to leave still makes me a little scared!"
Gu Xicheng hugged Lu Qing, his voice hoarse as he said:
"Don't be afraid! I'm with you!"
He frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Gu Xicheng, you may... not be able to be with her!"
"What do you mean?" Gu Xicheng asked hurriedly.
"Only gods can activate the Demon-Slaying Array. After activation, the array needs to be maintained for a long time before the Li Clan can be completely wiped out."
"How long will it take?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Yan: "Not necessarily. Maybe it will take a hundred years, maybe a thousand years. As long as humanity exists, the malevolent energy will not disappear."
Gu Xicheng couldn't help but sneer:
"It means I can't die with her yet!"
Yan: "If you go with her, her sacrifice will be meaningless."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing both fell silent.
Is this forcing them into a life-or-death separation?
After a long silence, Lu Qing shed a tear and choked out:
"In that case, please also remove Gu Xicheng's emotional ties!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng's heart sank:
"No! I won't agree!"
"Qingqing, I will never forget you!"
Lu Qing looked at him with tears in her eyes and said:
"You now possess divine power and can live for a thousand years. If you don't forget, how will you survive the rest of the time?"
"Then I won't forget you either!"
Gu Xicheng's eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"If we are destined to part ways, then I hope you can remain in my memory, so that even after everyone else has left, at least I will still remember you!"
Lu Qing burst into laughter through her tears: "Okay!"
Lu Qing wiped away her tears and looked at Lu:
"Tell me! How do I want the sacrifice?"
Yan raised her hand and gently touched Gu Xicheng's brow, passing on to him the method to activate the Demon-Slaying Array.
"The Demon-Slaying Formation has always existed between heaven and earth, and only the power of gods can activate it. This is the method to activate it."
"Once the formation is activated, you can enter the core of the formation and connect yourself to it."
“Okay!” Lu Qing took a deep breath and said to Gu Xicheng:
Let's begin!
Gu Xicheng clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
After a long while, he finally channeled his power and activated the Demon-Slaying Formation.
As the divine power spread, golden light faintly emerged from beneath the ground.
At the same time, the Li Clan members possessing people sensed the aura of the formation and fled in panic.
Soon, golden array patterns rose up beneath their feet.
The key to the formation was right in front of them, but Lu Qing stood still, silent and motionless.
"Lu Qing, what are you waiting for?" Jun asked.
Lu Qing pursed her lips and remained silent, only turning to look at Gu Xicheng with her eyes full of reluctance.
"Let me see him again!"
Lu Qing walked up to Gu Xicheng, her eyes tracing his features, trying to imprint his image more deeply in her mind.
The pain of separation is heart-wrenching.
The pain was so intense that I couldn't even shed a tear.
Lu Qing didn't linger for long; she was afraid that if she looked any longer, she would die without being able to bear it.
Goodbye, Gu Xicheng!
After saying that, Lu Qing turned and walked towards the center of the formation.
Gu Xicheng looked at her, his face pale, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word.
Just as Lu Qing was about to connect himself to the Demon-Slaying Array, a voice appeared in his ear:
"Lu Qing, look at the person you love, he can't bear to part with you!"
"You can't bear to part with him either, can you?"
"Lu Qing, do you really want to die? Do you really want to be separated from him?"
"And what about your family and friends? Look at them!"
Lu Qing's eyes flickered as she suddenly saw her parents, brothers, and friends.
They were all looking at her and calling out to her.
"Qingqing! Qingqing, don't go!"
"Qingqing, are you really willing to leave us?"
Lu Qing's tears fell instantly.
"I'm sorry! I have to leave!"
The voice appeared again:
"Lu Qing, you said 'must,' not 'you want'!"
"Actually, there's an even better way, a way that doesn't require you to die."
Lu Qingxin tensed up and hurriedly asked, "What method?"
"Hehe!" The owner of that voice seemed to chuckle.
"The solution is to allow the Li race to coexist with humans. You let me enter your body, and then you can control the Li race to live in seclusion in a corner of the world and coexist peacefully with humans."
"Peaceful coexistence? Is that... even possible?"
Lu Qing's mind suddenly went blank, but a glimmer of expectation flashed in her eyes.
