Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Love me or kill me, you choose
He didn't say anything, just stared at Shen Yuqing.
The sword tip tried to move downward, but Pei Zichen's spiritual energy barrier held it in place. Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Yuqing said coldly, "Speak."
"What answer do you want?"
This question stumped Shen Yuqing, who was speechless for a moment.
What's the answer?
If he asked, would he believe Pei Zichen if he said it wasn't Jiang Zhaoxue?
If Pei Zichen said it was Jiang Zhaoxue, what would he do?
He will not separate from Jiang Zhaoxue.
So, does it matter whether she and Pei Zichen had a marriage contract or not?
The pain flashed by like a sharp lightning, and he stared at the person under the sword.
unimportant.
He repeatedly told himself and forced himself to admit that it didn't matter what happened in the past eight years, just erase it all, kill Pei Zichen, clear this memory, Jiang Zhaoxue will always be Jiang Zhaoxue.
Kill him.
Kill him!
Shen Yuqing's murderous intent surged in an instant, and the sword flashed down rapidly, directly breaking through Pei Zichen's barrier and stabbing towards his forehead!
Lingxu Fan leaped out and slashed towards Shen Yuqing's arm that was controlling his neck. The moment Shen Yuqing retracted his hand, Pei Zichen twisted the sword with both hands and turned over.
Shen Yuqing stepped aside, raised his hand, condensed his spiritual power, and with a "bang" pressed down the Lingxu fan, then stabbed at Pei Zichen at a rapid speed.
Pei Zichen's weapon had been shattered by Shen Yuqing earlier. Now, with nothing in his hands, he could only grab Shen Yuqing's sword with his bare hands. The sword blade sliced through his palm, forcing Pei Zichen into the rocky mountain behind him. With nowhere to retreat, Pei Zichen finally called out, "Master!"
Shen Yuqing raised his eyes. Pei Zichen sensed his undisguised murderous intent and gasped softly, "You can kill me, but not here."
"Why," Shen Yuqing sneered at the words, "You want to threaten me with the life servant contract? Or don't you want to ruin Jiang Zhaoxue's plan? Then why don't you defeat me with your own ability? Do you think I will let you go if you bring her up?"
Pei Zichen froze when he heard this, and another voice belonging to him instantly appeared in his mind.
The voice was exceptionally calm, and only said one sentence: "Do it."
As soon as this voice came out, the Nine Netherworld Realm skills in his body instantly surged up. He was clearly aware of it, but he always suppressed himself.
Shen Yuqing's sword advanced inch by inch, blood dripping from Pei Zichen's palm. Shen Yuqing continued, "Trash is trash. Weak people should accept the outcome of losing everything. You are just a thief."
"not good!"
Outside the water mirror, Anan looked at the person in the water mirror and said hurriedly: "Yuanluo and Lingxu have begun to protect Pei Zichen."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked up upon hearing this and saw Yuanluo and Lingxu, the two spirits, emerge from Pei Zichen's body. Shui Jing couldn't hear the specific words, only the images.
The spirit of the weapon is an existence that can only be seen by the owner. Under normal circumstances, the spirit of the weapon will not appear alone, but now they have come out of Pei Zichen's body and started to form a formation. There must be something wrong with Pei Zichen.
Jiang Zhaoxue took a quick look and saw that Lingxu and Yuanluo had created a magic circle to keep Pei Zichen awake.
If Pei Zichen simply wanted to use the Nine Netherworld Realm's skills, Lingxu and Yuanluo wouldn't have stopped him like this. Instead, they would have done this...
"Nine Netherworld Realm techniques draw their power from the myriad things in the universe, especially human thoughts. While powerful, they have too many distracting thoughts, making them the easiest to distort the mind and turn into demons. That's why the True Immortal Realm doesn't allow them to be practiced. I thought Pei Zichen would be an exception, but I didn't expect he was holding it back!"
Anan looked at the situation in the water mirror and asked anxiously, "Master, how much longer will it take? Why don't you go in first? If Pei Zichen is truly possessed, his power will be absorbed by the Mi Zhen Illusion, and we may not be able to open the Mi Zhen Illusion."
"soon."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke calmly. While staring at the water mirror, frantically searching for the talisman to unlock the formation, he began to draw the formation with his other hand, ready to enter at any moment. He soothed, "It will be done soon."
As she spoke, Shen Yuqing's sword moved forward bit by bit in the water mirror.
The sword blade swept across Pei Zichen's palm, stained with his blood. Pei Zichen's hand muscles trembled in pain. He stared at the elder in front of him, who still had a young face, and listened to him scolding: "A thief who is full of lies and has nothing, what do you have to rob me with? Do you think that the jade pendant she gave you means anything?"
The tip of the sword was against his neck, and Pei Zichen gasped softly. Then he saw Shen Yuqing speak calmly: "I'll give you one last chance. Return the jade pendant to me."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen's pupils shrank slightly. Something in his body almost exploded, and someone screamed wildly in his mind.
Why?
Why was he born with everything? Why is he always superior?
Why did he wrongly accuse him, causing the deaths of all his relatives and friends, the destruction of his tendons and veins, the shattering of his golden elixir, and leaving him with nothing, and still be able to judge his life and death in this way?
Why did he get everything from Jiang Zhaoxue, and after ignoring her, humiliating her, and torturing her for two hundred years, he still got Jiang Zhaoxue to say, "You must never hurt your master."
Because he is strong enough?
"You can do it too."
Someone's voice rang out: "You have a divine weapon and the Nine Nether Realm technique. As long as you are willing, all the evil thoughts in this world are yours. The strong prey on the weak, the strong are respected, kill him-"
Pei Zichen panted as he listened to the other party's instigation: "Kill him, you can avenge Gu Jinglan and the others, you can also avenge yourself, no one will hurt Jiang Zhaoxue again, and Jiang Zhaoxue will only have you."
"Kill him."
This voice and Jiang Zhaoxue's voice of "You must not hurt your master" sounded alternately, and Pei Zichen's body convulsed in pain.
Yuan Luo and Ling Xu beside him seemed to be saying something, but he could no longer hear clearly.
Only Shen Yuqing looked at him coldly. Shen Yuqing paid no attention to anything else. He only looked at Pei Zichen's painful appearance and felt the piercing pain from the jade pendant on his waist.
"I've been searching for this jade for a long time, Shen Zeyuan, happy birthday."
"Give it back to me."
He gave a hoarse command, and the jade pendant, guided by his spiritual power, rose from Pei Zichen's waist. Pei Zichen grabbed it, closed his eyes and trembled, "Master, don't force me."
“Give it back to me!”
Shen Yuqing was furious for a moment, and crushed his five fingers with his spiritual power. The moment he felt severe pain, the jade pendant flew out. Pei Zichen opened his eyes in shock and pain, and without any time to think about anything, he rushed forward to chase the jade pendant.
However, the lightsaber instantly pierced his limbs, pinning him heavily to the wall. He watched the jade pendant fall into the turbulent river in the distance and shouted loudly: "No!!"
In an instant, demonic energy burst out from his body like a flood, with Lingxu Fan leading the way. Shen Yuqing only felt a pain in his soul, and instantly lost his vision. He was blown to the ground by the strong wind, and dozens of lightsabers followed. He turned over and rolled quickly, supporting himself up with one hand. The moment he stood up, vines transformed from demonic energy broke through the ground and strangled his five fingers.
His soul was injured and he could not sense what kind of power this was. He only felt that his whole hand was pressed down by the vines and he could not move. Then someone was drawing the bowstring from a high place.
"Master, if the way of heaven is the law of the jungle," Pei Zichen lowered his eyes from his perch, looking down at the elder who still looked like a young man on the ground. He drew his bow to full length, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and said goodbye calmly, "Then have a safe journey."
After saying that, Pei Zichen loosened his fingers slightly, and an arrow flew out, turning into millions of light arrows in the air, falling towards Shen Yuqing together.
At this moment, the Mizhen illusion suddenly shook, and Jiang Zhaoxue, holding Hua Guang, suddenly appeared between the two of them. With one hand, he opened the formation and blocked Pei Zichen's millions of light arrows with a "bang". With the other hand, he took Shen Yuqing and pushed him forward, snatched his sword and threw it into the river.
The moment she came, Shen Yuqing felt her breath, and he seemed to be back to that moment in the Cangming Sea. She went against the mighty army, she was determined, she jumped into the vast ocean, and held him tightly.
His heart, which had been torn to the extreme pain, suddenly relaxed at this moment, and he seemed to have finally come back to life.
She is still here.
Lost and found, dead and reborn, the contrast between happiness and pain in that moment was so strong, so strong that when she saw him off, he grabbed her hand and shouted rudely: "Don't let go!"
"go out."
Jiang Zhaoxue was dragged by him, half of her body hanging by the river, and she said calmly: "Go out and save people."
"No... don't let me go." Shen Yuqing had completely lost his mind. He couldn't see his surroundings, and he didn't know what was going on. He just relied on instinct to hold Jiang Zhaoxue tightly.
The only remaining red mark touched Jiang Zhaoxue's red mark, and immediately it felt hot. Noticing that only a red mark was left, Shen Yuqing became more and more excited, begging like crazy: "Axue, hold me, don't let me go, I beg..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zhaoxue decisively broke his five fingers.
A sharp pain came over him instantly, and the moment his five fingers shattered, he fell down. Fear and pain came at the same time, turning into a desperate cry: "I beg you... Jiang Zhaoxue."
His voice was drowned out by the sound of the river. Jiang Zhaoxue had no time to pay attention. She felt Pei Zichen behind her about to break her barrier. She turned around and swung Shen Yuqing's sword away. At the same time, she opened the Qiankun Lottery and shouted: "The way of heaven is unpredictable. Bet on the luck of heaven. Good luck! Dragon Locking Formation, open!"
The moment the fortune slips shattered, the long sword transformed into several dragons of light and wandered away. At the same time, Pei Zichen broke her barrier, which shattered like ice, revealing the figure of the young man behind her.
His jade crown had long been broken, his long hair was loose, his black robe had wide sleeves, and his expression was as cold as the hanging moon and white snow. When he heard the sound of the sword, he looked up.
The moment he raised his eyes, a dragon bound his limbs like chains and took root in the ground. The formation rose into the sky under his feet, completely separating Jiang Zhaoxue from him.
He seemed to be trapped in a palace lantern, with only his shadow shining through the light onto the lampshade, like a picture of a beautiful woman, passing through the shadow.
Everything went smoothly and he did not resist. Jiang Zhaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and began to activate the Qingxin Formation.
Just now, she was just one stroke away from breaking the Mizhen illusion, but Pei Zichen still couldn't resist the devil. Fortunately, he hadn't completely lost his mind yet, and there was still room for rescue. Judging from the current situation, Pei Zichen couldn't wake up on his own, so she could only trap Pei Zichen first and try to wake him up forcibly with the Qingxin formation.
As soon as the Qingxin magic circle appeared, she heard a chuckle from inside: "What is Master's wife trying to do?"
"Oh my god," Anan gasped when he heard the voice, "This guy sounds too much like a villain. Does the Heart Cleansing Formation really work?"
When a monk is possessed by a demon, it cannot be reversed by ordinary means.
It's already difficult to deal with cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, and Pei Zichen is practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm techniques, which are even more likely to confuse people's minds. Moreover, he is still in the Mizhen Illusion Realm, which makes the situation even more difficult.
But Jiang Zhaoxue had no choice but to close his eyes and recite the scriptures.
These scriptures were transmitted into the magic circle, and a blue light illuminated from the ground. Pei Zichen looked around and slowly said, "Master's Wife, are you trying to save me? Master's Wife thinks that I want to kill Master because I am possessed by inner demons and cannot control myself. Do you think that using the Heart Purification Formation can awaken my mind and make me a filial disciple to you and Shen Yuqing again?"
Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent, suppressed his spiritual power, and imposed the Qingxin Formation again.
The Qingxin Formation is affected by Pei Zichen's thoughts. The more possessed he is, the more difficult it is to maintain the Qingxin Formation.
However, after the Qingxin Formation was strengthened, Pei Zichen was not affected at all. He raised his hand and touched the barrier of the Locking Dragon Formation, strolling around. With every step, Jiang Zhaoxue clearly felt that the Qingxin Formation was being destroyed.
She poured her spiritual power into the battle, forcing a confrontation with Pei Zichen. Pei Zichen looked at the figure outside the white barrier and said calmly, "The inner demon is full of desire. If the inner desire is not eliminated, how can one attain enlightenment? Master's wife, it is only a matter of time before I kill my master. You know that."
"Sit down," Jiang Zhaoxue ordered coldly, "Recite the scriptures with me. You still have a bright future ahead of you. You must not let this happen."
"Are you willing to recite the scriptures?"
Hearing this, Pei Zichen laughed sarcastically: "Is chanting scriptures useful? If I chant scriptures, will you separate from him? If I chant scriptures, will there be no relationship between you and me? If I chant scriptures, will you look at me more and care about me more?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was instantly confused when these words came out. Pei Zichen could feel her mind losing control and became excited. "You know, you know everything! I've been married to you in my dreams for four years, you know, I've been in my dreams every night, you know! I want to be with you, I want you to live a good life, I want you to be separated from him, you know! You pretend to be deaf and dumb, and yet you still want to act like my elder and recite scriptures and preach to me?"
The Qingxin Formation vibrated violently, and Pei Zichen's pupils became redder and redder. "What scriptures are there to recite, what doctrines are there to preach? For a despicable person like me who rebels against the superiors, is unruly and unrighteous, and deserves to be killed by everyone, what scriptures can I recite, what doctrines can I follow?! It's better to kill them all, kill them all—"
As he spoke, dozens of lightsabers leaped out of Pei Zichen's body and pointed at him.
"Not good!" Anan was shocked when he saw this, "He actually cast an extinction spell on himself!"
The Yuan-Destroying Curse is a spell that cultivators use to kill themselves under special circumstances. This kind of spell is usually used on dead warriors, but Pei Zichen never expected to use this kind of spell on himself!
He had probably thought of this day as early as when he started practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm technique.
For him, being possessed by a demon is probably more painful than death. He may be afraid that he will hurt others after being possessed by a demon, so he left behind the Yuan-destroying Curse, which will kill him when he is possessed by a demon.
Seeing this thing, Jiang Zhaoxue's heart was shocked, but before she could think about it, Pei Zichen had already gathered sword energy in his hand and slashed at the Dragon Locking Chain!
The dragon chain bound on his hand in the formation is what currently restrains him from being affected by the Qingxin Formation. Once the chain is cut, the Qingxin Formation will no longer suppress him. Given his current condition, he will probably be completely possessed by the devil, and the Mieyuan Curse will take effect immediately and kill him.
Jiang Zhaoxue knew the result when she saw this, but without thinking, she rushed towards Pei Zichen!
The dragon-locking chain broke with a sound, and Pei Zichen's eyes turned blood red in an instant. Dozens of lightsabers attacked at the same time, and Pei Zichen used his hand gestures to block them.
But the Yuan-Destroying Curse is aimed at the cultivator himself, and all of Pei Zichen's spells will not have any effect on these lightsabers. The lightsaber pierced through the barrier in his hand and was about to pierce, but Jiang Zhaoxue rushed over like a tiger!
The warm touch came along with the woman's usual fragrance. Pei Zichen subconsciously raised his hand to protect Jiang Zhaoxue and looked up in surprise.
Jiang Zhaoxue rushed into his eyes, and the lightsaber formed an arc and stopped quickly behind Jiang Zhaoxue.
The woman standing in front of him was like a city wall, blocking the lightsabers, and then she fell heavily to the ground with him.
She rode on him, holding his hand with one hand and supporting his chest with the other. She came too quickly, as if she was trying her best. She was breathing softly and seemed to be trembling with lingering fear.
Pei Zichen stared blankly at the person in front of him, his heart trembling.
Jiang Zhaoxue paused for a moment, feeling that the Mie Yuan Curse behind him had stopped. With lingering fear in his heart, he looked up at him and saw that the blood-red color in the man's eyes had indeed faded.
She was speechless for a moment, looking at the other man's eyes filled with expectation. She felt that since she had already come, there was nothing to hide. She took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "I don't let you kill him, not because you can't kill him. But I feel that your sword should be used for moral justice, not for personal feelings."
Pei Zichen was speechless. As he listened to these words, he felt his heart beating in his chest again and again.
He seemed to be filled with April flowers and the warm sunshine.
The evil thoughts and desires just now disappeared, and he looked at the person in front of him with all his heart and eyes.
He desperately suppressed the urge to hug her and kiss her. He stared at her, and saw her staring at him. He apologized sincerely: "Pei Zichen, I have misled you, but I still hope that if one day you can turn back, you will have a way to turn back."
Turning back?
Hearing this, Pei Zichen slowly smiled.
He looked at the person in front of him who hadn't mentioned love at all, and disappointment slowly filled his eyes. With a bitter expression on his face, he spoke hoarsely, "But I don't have any more."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused and felt his hand reaching into her sleeve.
Her body stiffened slightly, and she felt him take out a dagger from her sleeve with familiarity.
He was the one who took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he knew exactly what she had.
He took out the dagger he had given her for self-defense, unsheathed the blade, and placed the tip of the dagger against her neck. He held the handle toward Jiang Zhaoxue, looking at her calmly and saying seriously, "Nine years ago, in the capital, Master said he wouldn't kill me and asked me to tell you. But I didn't want you to go back and reconcile with him, so I concealed this matter."
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes trembled, and she didn't dare to respond. Pei Zichen continued, "In the Lingxu illusion, I was already aware of the situation on the day of our marriage, before I committed any wrongdoing. However, I was greedy for pleasure, feigned ignorance, and went along with the mistake, becoming your wife."
Jiang Zhaoxue's grip on him tightened unconsciously. Pei Zichen looked at her calmly and told her everything frankly, "After you met Master, on New Year's Eve, I flirted with you while Master was standing outside the door, just to verify your memory."
"On the night of Qixi Festival, I was angry that you refused to acknowledge our marriage, so I deliberately seduced you."
"Every night after that, I will use the Lingxu Fan to enter your dreams, and lose control and humiliate you in the temple dream."
Speaking of this, Pei Zichen's eyes showed no regret. He just looked at him seriously and said calmly: "Disciple has blasphemed the elders, deceived the superiors and the subordinates, harbored delusions, and violated human ethics. There is no turning back for this disciple, Master's wife -"
His eyes trembled slightly, and he remained silent for a long time before mustering up the courage. He tilted his head slightly, placed the tip of the knife against his Adam's apple, and brought the handle to Jiang Zhaoxue. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Love me or kill me. There is only one way. You choose."
