"Master... I... I am real!" After saying these words with sobs, the fake fell down and lay on the ground like a pool of mud.

But the strange thing was that this time the fake one did not dissipate instantly into smoke like the previous ones, but instead it just lay there motionless.

Xue Ranran suspected that she was not dead yet, so he bent down cautiously to feel her breath and pulse, but there was no movement at all. She must be dead!

Su Yishui also looked at the red blood dripping from the sword in his hand with doubt, and then turned his doubtful eyes to the body lying on the ground...

At this moment, Xue Ranran started laughing: "Why? Do you find it strange that this fake product didn't turn into smoke?"

Su Yishui slowly turned his gaze towards her. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky slightly dispersed, and the moonlight of the bright moon shone on the earth, while the shadow under Xue Ranran's feet gradually disappeared under the moonlight.

A shadow appeared next to the fallen fake...

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, and for a moment they couldn't react to what had happened.

At this moment, the sound of clappers came from the distant town again, once, twice - the crisp sound of the clappers clearly told everyone that it was still midnight...

Why did the bangzi announce the time of midnight again?

Everyone's expression changed slightly and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

When Yao Laoxian looked up vigilantly, he found that wherever the moonlight reached, the surrounding scenery seemed to be slightly distorted and changed, like ripples spreading. But in a moment, the surrounding scenery returned to normal.

He understood... the strong wind just now was actually a trick! Duntian used flying sand and rocks as a cover to blow them down the mountain, and then began to set up a distorted mirror illusion for them!

The clapper sounds that came from the distant village were naturally fake, so it wasn't midnight at all!

In this illusion, whether everyone has a shadow or not, and what appearance they present is completely controlled by the illusion's master, Duntian!

In recent days, the fake goods that have appeared in front of the people of Xishan time and time again have constantly reinforced in their minds the importance of distinguishing the real from the fake by the shadow.

This has almost become a habit for the masters and apprentices at Xishan - if there is no shadow, it must be a fake!

It was based on this that Duntian cleverly replaced the real Xue Ranran's shadow with a fake one, and then used Su Yishui's sword to kill the real Xue Ranran...

After listening to Medicine Immortal's explanation, Qiu Xier screamed and fell on her sister who was lying in a pool of blood. She hurriedly stuffed a pill into her mouth: "Sister, hold on. Wake up. Wake up quickly!"

Wang Suizhi's face was filled with tears, and he used his hands and feet to crawl towards his master.

Su Yishui loosened the sword in his hand, and it dropped to the ground with a clang. Then he ran over like crazy, shook off the people who were crying and rushing towards him, and held the bleeding girl tightly in his arms.

But Xue Ranran, who had her eyes tightly closed, could no longer suddenly open her eyes and smile mischievously at him as she did before...

Seeing that the fake was still laughing wildly, Gao Cang and Bai Baishan were already extremely angry. After being thrown away by their master, they let out strange howls and rushed towards the fake.

The power generated by anger was extremely great. Gao Cang chopped off the fake's head with a fierce blow.

The fake's limbs immediately turned into smoke and dissipated in the wind, leaving only the head, still showing a smug smile...

The people gathered this time all had different purposes, and some were good and some were evil, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had varying degrees of affection for the little girl Xue Ranran.

So it goes without saying that the Xishan master and his disciples were grief-stricken when they saw Ran Ran die. The Dragon Island Town God, the Dragon Boy, and Wen Chunhui also showed sad expressions on their faces. As Mu Qingge's former friend, Yao Laoxian sighed in his heart, and even Wei Yan and Tu Jiuyi felt resentful.

Especially Tu Jiuyi, she has always been grateful to Ran Ran for helping her many times, and her feelings towards Ran Ran are also very subtle. She didn't expect that the favor she owed to Ran Ran would be difficult to repay...

At this moment, Dun Tianhun's voice came from the sky again: "How is it? It must be hard to kill your loved one with your own hands, right?"

Su Yishui slowly raised his head. His eyes seemed to be possessed by the spirit spring. They were already blood red. The runes of the spirit spring in the underworld appeared on his forehead again. He said word by word: "Why do you want to plot against us like this?"

Duntian smiled coldly: "Don't you understand why I want to build the tower against the sky? Fate is so cruel and unfair. This is obviously the thing you cherish most, but you can only watch it disappear in front of your eyes... How can you know this feeling if you don't experience it yourself? Xue Ranran is the fruit of the reincarnation tree. Her soul is not stable. Even if you want to use the reincarnation tree to do the same thing, it will be useless. There is only one way to let her live! That is, you are willing to become a blood sacrifice! Go to the Tower of Eternal Life, dig out your heart and offer it to the spirit tower! Then, time will be reversed, and maybe you will have a chance to redeem your lover..."

Yao Laoxian's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

He finally understood the purpose of Duntian's painstaking planning of all this!

Although the Tower Against Heaven can flow through time and space, Duntian's body has been possessed by demons and decayed. He wants to return to the past with his current memories and make up for all his shortcomings, so he must use a brand new body. So he tried every means to obtain the remains of the Human Demon King, and then let Su Yishui, a demon child, voluntarily sacrifice and dig out his heart in exchange for the Tower Against Heaven to become a living tower, reversing time and gaining his own rebirth.

With the souls and hearts of two generations of demons, Duntian can gain even greater power and control the Tower of Heaven to go back to the past, returning to the moment that made him regret his whole life, and make different choices.

Thinking of this, Yao Laoxian hurriedly shouted to Su Yishui: "Don't listen to Duntian's crazy words. If you die, how can you save your lover?"

Su Yishui had been keeping his head down. When he raised his head again, two lines of shocking tears dripped from his eyes. His tone also sounded unusually calm: "It doesn't matter if I die, but she will live again, right?"

Su Yishui's tone was too calm. If it weren't for his two lines of tears that made people look sideways, people would really suspect that he was not that sad.

This is the numbness that only people who are too sad will show.

Everyone in Xishan knew how deeply Su Yishui loved Ran Ran, not to mention that this time, it was Su Yishui who killed Ran Ran with his own hands. He should be going crazy from the pain at this moment, so his calm tone made people feel very uncomfortable.

Now thinking about it, Dun Tian was hateful and scary. He had been delaying the action and had to wait until Su Yishui removed the soul-cleansing talisman before taking action. He was afraid that Su Yishui didn't love him enough and it would be difficult for him to experience the pain of losing and regaining, but then destroying it again with his own hands.

Only by using the hearts of such suffering people as sacrifices can we generate enough resentment to support the Spirit Tower to unlock the power to defy the heavens and change lives...

At this moment, Su Yishui finally slowly put Ran Ran down, placed her gently on a piece of soft grass, then covered her body with his cloak, suddenly stood up, and walked towards the direction of the pagoda.

Yao Laoxian was anxious, and shouted loudly: "We must not let him go to the pagoda to offer sacrifices, quickly! Stop him!"

Once time goes backwards, the world will be in chaos and everything in the world will change. At that time, it will be hard to say whether Mu Qingge will be born or not, so what's the point of rebirth?

But now Su Yishui is obviously dominated by regret and is completely bewitched by Duntian. He only wants to reverse time and give Ranran a chance to be reborn.

Once his sacrifice is successful, the pagoda will be activated ahead of schedule, and I am afraid that the heavenly punishment and earthly calamity will also come ahead of schedule.

Yao Laoxian really didn't dare to think any further and could only shout for everyone to stop Su Yishui and prevent him from climbing up the spirit tower.

Before Yao Laoxian finished his words, everyone rushed forward to stop Su Yishui.

Wei Yan took the lead and tried to roll Su Yishui down with a whip, but when his whip was rolled up, it was bounced back.

It turned out that Duntian had set up a spiritual shield behind Su Yishui early in the morning to isolate him from the crowd, so that he could concentrate on digging out the heart and offering it. As a result, Xiaolong transformed into his original form and tried his best to hit the transparent spiritual shield, but he couldn't get in.

In the end, everyone could only watch Su Yishui climb up the tower step by step, along the bone ladder built from scattered bones on the ground.

This time, the bone tower did not reveal its offensive spikes, allowing Su Yishui to climb to the top of the tower step by step.

When he reached the top of the tower, he could see that the demon king's golden skull had completely grown into the tower. Even the skull had grown black flesh like the tower, and there was a sunken hole under the skull that looked like a shrine.

At this moment, Duntian's voice sounded again: "Don't hesitate, make a blood sacrifice quickly. As long as you are willing to sacrifice, Xue Ranran will be alive again... This is the knife I used to kill the devil, you can use it to dig out his heart..."

As he was talking, a dragon-carved knife floated to Su Yishui's hand. Su Yishui, with tears of blood and red eyes, picked up the knife and asked slowly: "Is my heart the only thing that can be sacrificed in blood?"

Duntian said, "Do you remember the marrow washing pool in Tianmai Mountain? The real purpose of leaving that pool was to select people who could sacrifice their blood in the Living Tower. Choosing the black pool means voluntarily giving up love. People who are willing to give up love, once they fall in love, are actually more affectionate than those amorous people! That pool has experienced so many years, so many people have come and gone, but only you are the most suitable! It's a pity that Mu Qingge messed up everything, causing my plan to almost go astray... Don't hesitate, if you miss it, Xue Ranran will really be hopeless, and there will be no such a pure and spiritual woman in the world from now on."

The last sentence really moved the man with tears in his eyes. Su Yishui closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently, and suddenly raised the knife high and stabbed it towards his chest.

"No! Master!"

"Master! No!"

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, the disciples of Xishan were already shouting; everyone was crying and violently beating their spirit shields to try to stop Su Yishui.

But the fierce knife still fell fiercely...but it landed on the golden skull of the demon king on the top of the tower!

The knife that Duntian used was the same one that Huangdi used to kill the monster Kui. It was a holy knife blessed by the ancient saints to ward off evil and drive away evil. When the knife was chopped down, the hard golden skull immediately shattered. The jaw of the skull cracked, and it seemed to be howling in pain. The clouds in the sky were all dispersed.

And Duntian roared: "Damn it! No!"

With his roar, the bone ladder under Su Yishui's feet suddenly fell apart, and the bone tower grew defensive spikes again.

Unfortunately, the skull of the human demon king, which was the soul of the tower, had already been shattered. The blow had hit the vital point of the tower. The black flesh covering the entire tower quickly shrank and dried up, revealing the original skeleton.

The bone tower that was originally towering into the sky suddenly became shaky and on the verge of collapse.

At this time, Duntian finally revealed his true form, standing in mid-air, his half-rotten face even distorted and deformed, he roared angrily: "How dare you? Do you know! You destroyed the only chance for your loved one to be reborn!"

"Didn't my master tell you long ago? His choice would never be the same as yours! Because he knows that I would never be willing to step on the flesh and blood of others in exchange for a chance to survive!"

When everyone heard the clear voice, they turned around in surprise, only to find that Xue Ranran, who had already died and fallen in a pool of blood, was actually... standing behind them in a trembling state.

But her chest was still oozing with red blood, which looked extremely weird!

Qiu Xier was a little timid. She saw her junior sister come back to life unexpectedly. She didn't have time to be happy and fainted with her eyes rolled back. Fortunately, Gao Cang hugged her.

But after Gao Cang also screamed along with his second junior fellow apprentice, the three fellow disciples hugged each other tightly.

Duntian had never thought that Xue Ranran would come back to life. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How could it be! You were clearly dead!"

When Xue Ranran was stabbed by the sword, the hidden Duntian had already controlled the fake Ranran to verify that she was not breathing.

Moreover, Duntian didn't have to look closely to clearly feel that the motionless corpse no longer had any blood flow, and she had lost so much blood, it couldn't be faked!

Xue Ranran looked at his timid classmates with a sigh, then dusted off his body and took out a...leather water bag from his pocket in a somewhat obscene manner.

The blood that was gushing out was coming out of this water bag.

"For this bag of red sugarcane juice, my cheeks are almost sore! What do you think? The red color is enough to make it look real, right? Hey, don't stare at me. I'm a human, not a ghost!"

It turned out that the "blood" that just came out of her was actually the juice of the red sugar cane she had been chewing along the way. Seeing Ran Ran rubbing her cheeks in a quirky manner, Qiu Xier, who had just woken up, burst into laughter and said in doubt: "Ran Ran... I just touched you, but you didn't have a pulse! I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

After saying that, Qiu Xier pinched Gao Cang's thigh hard, causing the eldest senior brother to scream in pain and repeatedly shout that he was not dreaming.

Xue Ranran smiled and glared at her, then took out the talisman stuck on his chest and waved it, saying, "This is a new creation of the Jiu Laoxian, a sudden death talisman that can completely fake death. Although it is only effective for the time of an incense stick, it is enough to hold out for a while."

When Jiu Laoxian drew this talisman for her, he told her seriously that he had come up with this talisman in order to escape from the Red Flame Sect. Unfortunately, the wine that the Red Flame Sect sent him was too fragrant, and he was reluctant to pretend to be dead, so he didn't use it for a while.

Now he gave this talisman to the young friend to advise her not to be too aggressive in everything. If she met a strong enemy, she might as well stick the talisman on and pretend to be dead, and act like a bear.

I didn't expect that something like chicken ribs would be used at this time.

As for the sword that pierces the heart, it depends on Su Yishui's ability. His sword is a soft sword made for him by Zeng Yi. As long as he uses his skill well, he can pierce the water bag inside the clothes, go around Ranran's body and get out from behind.

To put it bluntly, it's just a trick performed by street magicians!

Of course, Su Yishui's shocking tears were also made of red sugarcane juice. It was shocking to watch late at night, but it was enough to cover up Su Yishui's slightly lacking acting skills.

It's hard enough for a man with a blank expression to portray the tragedy of losing a loved one, but luckily there's sugarcane juice to carry him through the whole scene, making it a great performance!

Duntian still couldn't believe it, and said coldly: "Impossible! When did you see through my plan?"

Xue Ranran threw the bag of sugarcane juice on the ground, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the red sugarcane juice on her clothes, and decided to thoroughly answer Duntian's questions.

"In fact, I have always wondered why you sent the fake Tu Jiuyi and Wei Yan to our house that day. If it was just to capture us alive, you didn't seem to be in a hurry. So what was the purpose of making such a fuss? Until I saw this..."

As she spoke, she took out a small box from her sleeve, the same one she had brought back from Dragon Island.

When Wanjie Tianluo opened the box, Xue Ranran and Su Yishui looked at the contents of the box together while they were sitting under a tree on the hillside to avoid the rain.

At that time, Wei Yan thought they were having an affair and kept cursing at them.

The box actually contained a piece of "paper". It was paper, but it looked like paper and it was not. The words on it appeared and disappeared, and seemed to be able to move flexibly.

When they looked at it, there was a line of words on the paper: "In the sixth month of the Yikun year, at 11:30 pm, Su Yishui killed Xue Ranran..."

When they saw this, they looked at each other in surprise. But at this moment, the words on the paper blurred again, and then it was "The secret of heaven is revealed, and the world is yet to be determined..."

Su Yishui immediately understood that this "paper" should be the page that Mu Qingge had torn from the Heavenly Book.

Mu Qingge violated the rules of heaven and peeked into the heavenly book, and saw Su Yishui's fate. That's why she later boldly changed his fate and used her own life to buy Su Yishui the opportunity to escape the fate of the devil.

But for some unknown reason, she still hid a page on Dragon Island. It was not until Su Yishui and Xue Ranran retrieved it that the page saw the light of day again.

As for the sentence just now, it was obviously what was going to happen. Unfortunately, it had already been seen by Su Yishui and Xue Ranran, so "things in the world are still to be determined", and there is still the possibility of variables!

Based on this revelation, the clever Xue Ranran immediately worked out a simple countermeasure with Su Yishui.

Even though they didn't understand what was going to happen at the time, when Xue Ranran was poisoned by the snake, the two of them exchanged glances and immediately understood why Duntian allowed those two fakes to appear in the inn.

Maybe he just wanted to use the fake Xue Ranran to pass himself off as the real thing and do something.

Therefore, everything that happened next was a natural outcome. The two of them didn't even need to set up a stage for rehearsal. They just worked together calmly and did everything.

Su Yishui was actually a little confused at first. But even if Xue Ranran was really a fake, he would not assassinate her.

When he bypassed the sword and saw Xue Ranran acting according to the plan, he immediately knew the truth. The rest was a natural outcome, and it all depended on their acting skills!

The bone tower was too strong. It was impossible to approach it without using some tricks to relax Duntian's vigilance. So the master and apprentice came up with this plan, which really worked and broke the key to the spirit tower.

At this moment, the bone tower kept falling loose, making a loud crashing sound. When Duntian finished listening to Xue Ranran's explanation, he was overwhelmed with disappointment and anger.

The opportunity he had waited for countless years was ruined, which was enough to destroy the mind of this immortal who had turned into a demon.

He roared, swung his hand and rushed towards Su Yishui with a knife in hand.

As the bone tower shattered, the heavenly punishment also terminated automatically. The originally low air pressure gradually dissipated, and the abilities of Yao Laoxian and Dragon Island God could be displayed.

So when Duntian swooped over, the two gods also flew to Su Yishui's side and helped him resist Duntian's divine attack.

But Su Yishui waved his hand and said, "You two don't need to help me. It's better for me to settle the matter between him and me on my own."

After hearing this, Yao Laoxian stared at Su Yishui in disbelief. No matter how talented he was, he was still just a human. How could he compete with Dun Tian, ​​who was once an immortal and now a demon?

Su Yishui had fought with Duntian before, so he should know how terrifying Duntian's ability was. Moreover, now that the bone tower had collapsed and Duntian was furious, Su Yishui wanted to fight Duntian alone, which was a bit ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

Wei Yan was hopeful of retaking Chiyan Mountain at this time, and he immediately became excited. When he saw Su Yishui asking the two immortals to retreat, he immediately shouted nervously: "Don't be so stubborn at this time! Defeating Dun Tiangan is related to the safety of the world, and we can't afford any mistakes!"

It was really shocking to hear such righteous words coming from the mouth of the evil Wei.

But Su Yishui seemed to have made up his mind and it was difficult to change it. After he asked the two gods to leave, he stepped forward to fight Duntian alone.

The disparity in power between the enemy and us is simply too great.

The next moment, Su Yishui was thrown heavily to the ground by Duntian's powerful thunder.

Seeing their master being beaten so hard, the disciples of Xishan gasped. Gao Cang asked Xue Ranran anxiously, "Junior sister, are we just going to watch our master get beaten and not help him?"

Xue Ranran couldn't bear to see Su Yishui getting beaten, so she simply lowered her head and looked at the "paper" in her hand.

At this time, another line of words appeared on the paper: "In the sixth month of the Yikun year, at the fourth quarter of the second hour, Su Yishui killed Duntian alone..."

It was almost time now, and Su Yishui was fighting Duntian alone, but Ran Ran really couldn't figure out how he killed Duntian.

Could there be some mistake in this page of the heavenly book? Or maybe the scholar was lacking in knowledge and accidentally got the beginning and end of the sentence wrong. Did it actually want to write "Dun Tian Du Sha Su Yi Shui"?
