Chapter 18: Quickly Traveling and Falling in Love with the Martial Arts Leader (Part 8)
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into this restricted area!" The dark shadow let out a deep voice, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.
"We are here to find treasures for practicing the Nine Yang Manual." Shen Yun answered calmly, "Please give us some convenience."
"The Nine Yang Manual is a treasure of the martial arts world. How can you, a bunch of scoundrels, get your hands on it!" The black shadow roared, swinging the iron hammer at Shen Yun. Shen Yun reacted quickly, dodging to the side, and the long sword stabbed at the black shadow's chest like a spirit snake.
The black shadow snorted coldly, swung the iron hammer to block Shen Yun's attack, and the two of them immediately fought. I have never seen Shen Yun so serious. His swordsmanship is extremely powerful, and every move hits the vital points directly. However, the black shadow's martial arts is also very strong. He swung the iron hammer tightly and resolved Shen Yun's attacks one by one.
"Hubby, be careful!" I screamed in surprise, and saw the shadow took advantage of Shen Yun's unpreparedness and hit him in the chest with a hammer. Shen Yun was unable to dodge and was hit hard. With a "puff" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body swayed a few times, almost falling to the ground.
"Shen Yun!" I screamed and rushed forward, blocking him without thinking. I felt a huge force coming at me, and my body was blown away like a kite with a broken string, and I fell heavily to the ground, with a fishy and sweet taste in my throat.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yun, regardless of his own injuries, hurried to my side, helped me up, and anxiously checked my injuries. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to this dangerous place..." His voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of self-blame and heartache.
I endured the pain, shook my head, grabbed his hand, and said weakly: "I'm fine... Go quickly... get the 'Nine Yang Manual'..."
"Don't even think about it!" The shadow approached again, holding the hammer high and smashing towards us. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
At this critical moment, a white light flashed, and an old but powerful voice rang in my ears: "Stop!"
An old man in white appeared out of nowhere. His hair and beard were all white, but he looked energetic. He held a whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal. He waved the whisk lightly, and the shadow was pushed back several steps.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business!" The black shadow was furious, but did not dare to step forward.
"I am Zhang Sanfeng, the leader of the Wudang Sect. You are so cruel and vicious, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" Zhang Sanfeng's tone was calm, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Zhang Sanfeng?!" The black shadow was obviously afraid of this name. He took a few steps back and glared at us viciously. "You are lucky today. You won't get away with it so easily next time!" After saying that, he turned around and turned into a ball of black mist, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.
Zhang Sanfeng turned around, looked at us kindly, and asked, "Are you all right?"
"Thank you for your help, we are not in serious trouble." Shen Yun clasped his fists and said gratefully.
I struggled to get up, but it agitated my injury and I gasped in pain.
"Child, you are badly injured. Let me heal you." Zhang Sanfeng helped me up. A warm breath spread throughout my body through his palms. The original severe pain gradually subsided, replaced by a comfortable feeling.
"Senior, you are..." I looked at him in surprise. Could he be the legendary martial arts legend?
"Haha, I am Zhang Sanfeng." Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "Are you here to find the treasure for practicing the 'Nine Yang Manual'? Follow me."
Zhang Sanfeng brought us to a hidden cave. Inside the cave was a stone room with an ice bed on the stone table. The bed could restrain the high temperature brought by practicing the "Nine Yang Manual".
"This bed contains the inner strength of the most yin and the most gentle, which can restrain the pure yang energy when practicing the Nine Yang Manual." Zhang Sanfeng handed the manual to me and said earnestly, "Child, the world is dangerous, you must be more careful."
I took the practice method and nodded solemnly, my heart filled with gratitude.
After returning to the martial arts world, we immediately set out to crack the secret of the "Nine Yang Manual". Shen Yun was extremely talented and quickly mastered the essence of it, and his internal strength also improved by leaps and bounds. Although I couldn't practice martial arts, I could still protect him and boil medicine for him to heal his injuries. We fought side by side and defeated those who had bullied us one by one.
The hypocritical woman pretended to care about Shen Yun's injury, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to poison him. However, I saw through her on the spot, exposing her true face of being a snake and a scorpion. The green tea girl pretended to be weak in front of everyone to gain sympathy, but I produced evidence of her having an affair with someone else, making her lose face.
As for the yandere man, he eventually suffered the consequences of his own obsession and madness. Shen Yun destroyed his martial arts and turned him into a useless person.
The people in the martial arts world finally saw their true colors and spurned them. Shen Yun and I became heroes respected by everyone, safeguarding justice and peace in the martial arts world.
However, this seemingly peaceful and beautiful life was like the calm before the storm, fleeting. That day, Shen Yuntian suddenly vomited blood and fell into my arms with a pale face. I frantically felt his pulse, but found that the yang poison that had been suppressed in his body had come back for some reason, and it was even more ferocious than before.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine..." Shen Yuntian tried to hold up his weak body and tried to touch my cheek, but I grabbed his hand and he couldn't stop crying. "You lied to me, you were obviously in pain..."
"Silly boy, don't cry, I promised you that I would protect you forever..." He said this with difficulty, but his eyes gradually faded.
I shook my head desperately, refusing to believe it. How could he break his promise? How could he leave me alone? I hugged him tightly, as if I could hold on to his fading life.
"Ahem... promise me... to live well..." His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
"No! Shen Yun! Wake up! You can't die! You promised me..." I shouted heartbreakingly, but no matter how I cried, he always kept his eyes tightly closed and never opened them again.
I held a funeral for him in a daze and buried him with my own hands in the peach forest where we met.
From then on, there is no longer a Shen Yuntian who would gently call me "Zi'ang" in this world. There is only a cold tombstone and endless sorrow.
"I will always remember you, my hero..." I gently stroked his name on the tombstone, tears blurring my eyes.
I held this condensed tear in my hand, which was filled with regret and remorse. Human emotions are truly amazing. I looked up at the sky and a mysterious man appeared. He said his name was the System.
"Feng Ziang, start your next test!"
Suddenly, I felt dizzy, my vision went dark, and I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I found that I had traveled to another world. This time, I collected my own tears of pure love. However, each experience will not disappear. For me, the death of my lover is a great pain.
I wanted to quit the game after only reaching the second level. It turns out that loving someone is so painful.
The system shot out a beam of light that hit me right on the forehead and said, "Go! Have a good sleep and everything will be fine." The system sealed my memory.
I stretched out my limbs and felt limp all over. I stared straight at the sky and found myself falling into a cave, except that this cave was very bright. Gradually, I closed my eyes powerlessly.
Their faces and memories kept replaying and appearing in my mind. I reached out my hand to touch their phantom images in the air but I was powerless. In the end, their memories were permanently deleted from my mind. All I remember was that it was very dark.
