On the battlefield, whether it was the pursuing Mongolian army or the fleeing Song soldiers, they were all completely turned into ashes under the falling red meteor, and even their corpses were destroyed.
With the city wall of Diaoyucheng as the boundary, the entire land was divided into two areas by meteors.
The outside of the city wall was still intact, but everything outside the city turned into flames. Burning embers flew all over the sky, emitting an intense heat beyond mortal cognition, and even the air made a crackling sound.
This can no longer be called a human tragedy, because there is no hideousness of rivers of blood, nor the horror of corpses strewn across the ground. There is only an emptiness that cannot be described in words.
Yes, it's empty.
There is nothing, nothing left.
A hundred meters in front of Diaoyucheng lay a massive pit. This enormous pit emitted spiraling, scorching air currents. Inside, it was pitch black, with faint flashes of red light that vanished in an instant.
After a while, the defenders of Diaoyucheng slowly regained their sight. Some of them were unlucky and even completely blinded by the strong light just now.
However, even those who regained their sight were stunned when they saw what was happening before their eyes, and they didn't even notice that their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Silence.
"Ah...ah...what..."
Wang Jian, the defender of Diaoyucheng, opened his mouth and spoke with some difficulty.
He wiped the sore tears from the corners of his eyes and felt an inexplicable dryness in his mouth. Even the hot air brought by his breath made his throat burn.
Even though his eyes were extremely sore, Wang Jian still widened his eyes, trying to confirm that the scene in front of him was just an illusion.
But he was disappointed. Whatever he saw with his eyes, felt with his body, or breathed through his lips and nose, everything was filled with burning, death, and destruction.
The other side of the city wall.
Zhuyeqing looked at this devastating scene, opened his mouth slightly, looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, then glanced at his sister who was standing beside him with a calm expression. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes: "Sister, where does Xian'er get such terrifying power?! And to be able to cause such destructive power under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, only a Half-Step Heavenly Immortal can do it."
Xian'er was just a mortal a few months ago, not even a human immortal. Even though he practiced the Qingmu Xuanfa, he only had some achievements in qi-reading and medical skills. As for other things, he couldn't kill anyone, and he probably couldn't even fight.
And now this scene...
"She wants to help me break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao." Bai Suzhen glanced at Zhuyeqing and smiled slightly: "Xiaoqing, look at that meteor falling from the sky just now. Isn't Xian'er very powerful?"
"What's so great about that, sister!" Seeing her sister's calm and composed appearance, Zhuyeqing was stunned for a few seconds before feeling the blood and energy in her body surge upwards. She stamped her feet in anger and said, "Even a half-step immortal is powerless in front of the Heavenly Dao. Are you trying to kill Xian'er?"
She is a great demon, a demon fairy. She knows that in this world, being an earthly fairy is the limit and it is impossible for anyone to be promoted to a celestial fairy.
Throughout the ages, whether they are Taoists, monks, or demons, how many wonderful and outstanding people have been born?
But it still turned into ashes.
The so-called going against the will of heaven is just the dream talk of mortals. No one can truly break the chains above the sky.
"If she wants to do this, why should I refuse?" Bai Suzhen looked at the beautiful figure wrapped in dark clouds, her smile filled with unbreakable sweetness. She was immersed in the spread of this emotion, and then she glanced at Zhuyeqing again before saying softly, "Xiaoqing, you have been with me for so many years, and it is time to say goodbye."
She ignored Zhuyeqing's changed expression and continued talking to herself.
"Leave this place immediately and fly westward, passing through the Kingdom of the Arabs until you stop at the westernmost part of the continent. That's where the Heavenly Dao's constraints are weak, and there's some hope for life..."
"Enough!" Before Bai Suzhen could finish, Zhuyeqing's expression changed completely. She pushed her sister hard, causing her to stagger, tears streaming down her face. "Sister! You're crazy! Let Xian'er go crazy with you!"
Demons rarely shed tears, especially cold-blooded animals like snakes, which don't have many emotional fluctuations. They will even devour each other's relatives and compatriots. This is the law of survival among demons.
But the bamboo leaf green snake cried, cried very sadly, cried very weakly, neither wailing loudly nor sobbing softly, just wiping tears continuously and making a slightly whimpering cry.
Her tears slid down her cheeks, and the moment they hit the ground, they solidified into green crystals, and then shattered with a 'pop' sound.
"Xiaoqing, there are many difficulties here..."
Bai Suzhen looked at the crying Bamboo Leaf Green Snake and stretched out her hand to comfort him, but before she could touch him, Bamboo Leaf Green Snake opened her hand.
Fortunately, these two people are earthly immortals, not ordinary living creatures, so their appearance and voices cannot be perceived by mortals. Otherwise, they would have been watched by the nearby soldiers.
"Don't touch me!" Zhuyeqing cried. Although she opened her sister's hand, she stumbled back a few steps and looked at her with tears in her eyes filled with resentment: "How...how could you...be so selfish?! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought you to Hangzhou and let you meet Xian'er!"
Demons have no heart, but at this moment Zhuyeqing felt a pain in her chest. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the flashing tears reflected her acquaintance, meeting and understanding with Bai Suzhen.
In addition, what was more in her eyes was another little girl who was as gentle as water. She watched the other person grow up slowly, watched the other person turn around and call her "Sister Qing", watched the other person meet as strangers, and watched the other person and her sister become destined partners.
She had been a bystander from beginning to end, always considering this or that, never truly intervening. It was because she only knew how to blindly support others that the situation had evolved into what it is today.
It was obviously she who met him first, but in the end, the one who couldn't get him and who ended up with nothing was still her.
"Xiaoqing, you are so kind to Xian'er..."
Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed, as if she noticed the other party's surging emotions, and she couldn't help but frowning.
"Sister, just to ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm, you want Xian'er to die with you?" Zhuyeqing wiped away her tears and suddenly chuckled, her expression gradually turning resentful. "Hehe... I'm so stupid! If I had been half as selfish as you, Xian'er wouldn't have become your Taoist companion."
It turns out that even demons without hearts can feel this much pain. If I had known earlier, when I first saw that little girl, I should have ripped her heart out, sucked out the sweet flesh and marrow, and filled the void I didn't have.
This is the only way to be together forever and ever.
