Chapter 122: Being a lifelong companion
Lan Li's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes swept over Xiao Qihao and Shen Qingze.
"Don't let them ruin everything."
The remaining men in black around them reacted immediately and surrounded the two men with knives raised.
Their movements were much stiffer than before.
One of the guards had cloudy eyes and the wound on his neck was oozing black blood. It was obvious that part of his soul had been sucked away by the Soul-Devouring Formation.
Xiao Qihao pulled Shen Qingze behind him and picked up the short knife on the ground.
The blood on the blade dripped onto the ground, hitting someone's broken teeth.
"Teacher Shen, you've called for help, so hurry up and find a solution! I'll hold on here!"
Shen Qingze held his hand, the cold sweat mixed with blood on his palms stuck to the scabbard, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle,
"Let's go together. Renly's target is the Messenger's Tower. Let's withdraw first and make plans later."
He glanced at the golden light on the stage that was getting brighter and brighter.
In the center of the light ball, Ye Xiang's black robe could be vaguely seen expanding, as if something was about to break out of his body.
"I'm afraid something might happen with Ye Xiang."
The footsteps of the man in black were getting closer and closer.
The knife light shone coldly under the golden light, and half of the intestine was hanging on one person's long knife.
Xiao Qihao nodded, and stood back to back with Shen Qingze.
The two men's breaths intertwined in the bloody air, and their eyes simultaneously turned to Renly.
The man standing in the light had no expression on his face, as if everything in the world was just a chess piece in his eyes.
The stone sculpture on top of the Messenger Platform slowly opened its eyes.
The hellish scene of the entire slave farm was reflected in his pupils.
The golden light in the center of the platform suddenly shrank inwards, as if it had been clenched into a ball of light by an invisible hand.
Ye Xiang's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes——
The pair of eyes that always contained a gentle smile now reflected the same blazing white as the light ball, and it seemed as if countless stars were flickering in the depths of the pupils.
His lips slightly opened, not speaking, but unconsciously exhaling tiny white air that instantly dissipated in the burning mist of light.
"god……"
Ye Xiang's voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper, and his eyes were fixed on the blurry outline in the center of the light ball.
That thing had no specific shape, it just slowly stretched out in the light.
Every pulse caused the entire platform to emit a low hum.
Ye Xiang's cheeks flushed abnormally.
His nostrils flared violently, and he pressed his hands to his chest, his knuckles turning white from the force, but he couldn't control the trembling.
An indescribable excitement surged in his heart. This was the moment he had dreamed of for many years.
He paid so much and endured so much humiliation for this day, and now it is finally coming true.
The birth of this new god will wash away all his shortcomings and make him the closest being to God.
The ecstasy almost overwhelmed him!
"What is that..."
Shen Qingze's fingertips were cold.
He stared at the stone sculpture on top of the platform. Two dark red lights lit up in the eye sockets of the lion-headed sculpture, and the lines at the corners of its mouth seemed to turn into a grin.
Cold sweat slid down his jawline and hit his blood-stained collar, leaving dark marks.
His Adam's apple moved, but he found that he could not make a sound.
My heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
Is it really successful?
Did they really create the so-called new gods?
But this god did not bring peace and hope, but a suffocating sense of oppression and the breath of death.
If this is their result, then what is the meaning of everything Xiao Qihao and I have done?
Xiao Qihao's back was against the cold gabion railing, and the short knife in his palm was almost soaked with sweat.
His gaze passed through the light mist and fell on Ye Xiang's face——
That face that had smiled at him in the candlelight and turned away at the flogging,
But at this moment, all the warmth disappeared, leaving only an almost fanatical piety.
When Ye Xiang turned his gaze, Xiao Qihao's heart suddenly shrank.
A faint hope flashed through his mind.
Maybe Ye Xiang could still recognize him, and still have some feelings for him.
But that look completely shattered his fantasy.
There is no hatred, no resentment, not even a trace of emotion, just like looking at a stone blocking the road.
Xiao Qihao just felt a chill in his heart.
It turns out that in Ye Xiang's heart, she is really so insignificant.
Those past entanglements may have long been a thing of the past for him.
Ye Xiang's eyebrows knitted slightly, as if Xiao Qihao's existence itself was an offense.
The only thing on his mind now was the new god that was about to be born. Shen Qingze and the others were just insignificant obstacles.
When the new god comes, they will be wiped out.
By then, Xiao Qihao will be willing to stay by his side, and the new god will baptize him.
At that time, they can be together forever under the protection of the new god.
So now, there is no need to be distracted by this.
His lips moved, but no sound came out. He just raised his right hand.
“Buzz——”
The golden light spread across the ground like a tide. Wherever it passed, the black-clad guards who were originally lying on the ground suddenly twitched and stood up.
Their eyeballs were cloudy, and there was no expression on their faces, except for a strange curve at the corners of their mouths.
The knuckles of the fingers holding the weapons turned white due to excessive force.
Dozens of black shadows quickly gathered together, surrounding Xiao Qihao and Shen Qingze in the center. The crisp sound of iron blades colliding formed an impenetrable web of death.
“Hahahaha—hahahaha!”
Renly's laughter echoed in the golden light like torn silk.
He stood at the edge of the platform, his silver-grey hair dyed golden by the mist of light.
The wrinkles on his face were twisted with extreme ecstasy, and his eyes were shining with an almost crazy light.
He opened his arms, his heart filled with unprecedented pride and excitement.
Years of planning are finally coming to fruition!
After the new god is born, he will be the most meritorious minister and will have supreme power and status.
Those who once looked down on him will now crawl at his feet!
"It's born! It's finally born!"
Renly's voice was hoarse with excitement, and his saliva flew as he spoke.
He no longer had the hypocritical gentlemanly demeanor he had previously displayed.
"Ye Xiang! Did you see that? We did it! New order, new gods!"
He pointed at the surrounded Xiao Qihao and the other man, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce.
"All the thieves who stand in the way should be turned into dust under the altar!"
Ye Xiang did not look back, his entire attention seemed to be focused on the light ball.
But he tilted his head slightly, as a response to Renly's words.
The action was understated, but it carried unquestionable majesty.
He was somewhat dissatisfied with Renly's noise, but now was not the time to care about it.
It won’t be too late to deal with these people slowly after everything has settled down.
Xiao Qihao looked at Ye Xiang's profile and suddenly felt a piercing chill.
He recalled the nights when he was imprisoned, when Ye Xiang had also sat silently beside the bed.
The warm light shone on his face, making him look distant and unfamiliar.
It turned out that the silence at that time was not forbearance, but that she had already regarded him as an insignificant existence.
A surge of anger and resentment surged in my heart.
He can't just give in like this, he can't let these people succeed!
