Meng Ji pointed at Nan Guangyu and kept shouting to the pedestrians, "Stop him!" Perhaps because Nan Guangyu's face was too cold and his eyes too fierce, no one dared to make a move along the way.
However, since Nan Guangyu was only a clone and was holding Chu Xinxin, he was quickly caught up by Meng Ji.
The two immediately engaged in combat.
Qingwu arrived shortly afterward and joined the battle.
Meng Ji held his own against two opponents without being at a disadvantage!
Nan Guangyu's expression turned serious. This person was indeed suspicious!
They just ran out in such a big way; the priest must have received the news.
We can't delay any longer; the priest can't see Qingwu's demonic energy entering his body!
Nan Guangyu and Meng Ji exchanged blows. As Nan Guangyu retreated using the force of the blows, he looked around. He was in a valley, completely deserted.
"Nan Guangyu, put down the goddess!" Meng Ji shouted sternly.
"Dream on, Qingwu, attack him!" Nan Guangyu gave the order to the half-demonized Qingwu.
Qingwu attacked Mengji without hesitation. No matter how Mengji used his charm, she did not stop. Instead, her moves became more and more fierce, and she did not dodge Mengji's killing moves.
After Meng Ji finished his move, he looked up at Qing Wu and finally noticed that her eyes had been corrupted by demonic energy.
"Nan Guangyu! So you were the demon spy all along!"
Meng Ji immediately realized what was happening and stopped holding back against Qing Wu. After a few moves, he struck Qing Wu with a palm, leaving him severely injured and unconscious.
"You're only realizing this now? It's too late."
Nan Guangyu's killing moves came one after another, and a black cone appeared in front of Meng Ji in an instant!
"Demon God Cone!" Meng Ji kicked off and retreated, but the Demon God Cone seemed to have its own consciousness and kept chasing after him.
Nan Guangyu stood still without making any move, only a slight mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Meng Ji felt a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, the next second, Nan Guangyuteng turned into black mist and disappeared from the spot.
A surge of air flowed behind him, and Meng Ji turned his head slightly as Nan Guangyu thrust a sharp sword at him from behind!
In the face of death, Meng Ji unleashed astonishing potential. He twisted his ankle and turned his body to dodge Nan Guangyu's sharp sword.
But this delay allowed the Demon God Cone to catch up with him, emitting a faint black light, and it locked onto Meng Ji's soul between his brows and landed!
With nowhere to hide, Meng Ji's gaze passed over the Demon God Cone and focused on Nan Guangyu's face, where Nan Guangyu flashed him a wide smile...
This scene slowed down in Meng Ji's eyes. A growing sense of resentment rose within him. He was so close, so very close, to having everything he wanted...
Suddenly, Nan Guangyu's smile froze, and surprise appeared in his eyes. He shouted something to Meng Ji, but Meng Ji seemed deaf and couldn't hear him.
A bright red figure suddenly appeared in his sight, blocking his view...
She is a goddess!
Meng Ji's hearing seemed to be delayed as he finally heard Nan Guangyu shout the words, "No!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the demon's cone piercing flesh was amplified infinitely, reaching the two people's ears clearly and "slowly".
The goddess clutched her chest and collapsed into Meng Ji's arms. Nan Guangyu lunged forward to snatch her away, but Meng Ji slapped him away.
"Goddess, how are you?" Meng Ji wanted to grab the Demon God Cone and take it out.
But as soon as she touched the awl, the goddess was in so much pain that all the color drained from her face.
"Nan Guangyu, quickly take this thing off the goddess!" Meng Ji shouted at Nan Guangyu.
Nan Guangyu's expression was no better than the goddess's: "Since you know this is the Demon God's Cone, what else is there to say..."
The Demon God's Cone—those struck by it will be annihilated, body and soul!
"I...cough cough..." The goddess coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Meng Ji's eyes were filled with crimson. The goddess was dressed in red, and the blood she vomited was also red. The madness that filled his own eyes was also red.
He picked up the goddess: "I'll take you back to the priest, hang in there..."
"It's no use." The goddess finally caught her breath.
Then, she raised her hand and placed it on her forehead. A moment later, a shiny, diamond-shaped object appeared in her hand.
"This is my divine essence..." the goddess said haltingly, "It is me... I am it, I hope it can stay with you... I hope to see you again in the next world..."
The goddess placed her divine essence in Meng Ji's hand, then raised her hand to touch Meng Ji's face, murmuring something.
Meng Ji listened intently and only heard two words: "Xiao... Chen..."
The goddess's hand fell to the ground before it could even touch his face, and her eyes slowly closed...
"goddess!"
Meng Ji's arms were suddenly empty; the goddess had vanished into nothingness.
Nan Guangyu tried to grab her fingers but missed.
The Demon God Cone also landed directly on the ground.
"I'll kill you!" Meng Ji's eyes turned bloodshot as he slashed at Nan Guangyu with a palm.
Nan Guangyu wanted to retaliate, but as if sensing something, he stood still and let Meng Ji attack him.
Just a second before Meng Ji was about to strangle him, the priest's deep and authoritative voice rang out: "Stop!"
...
The next day.
The girls in the small town got up early in the morning and carefully dressed themselves in front of their dressing tables.
Today is the day the goddess and Master Mengji will unite their destinies; we must get to the viewing platform early to secure a good spot.
When the girls arrived at the venue for the ceremony, they found that all the guards had solemn faces and the atmosphere was somber.
"Auntie, what happened? I have a bad feeling about this," a young woman asked a woman who had arrived earlier.
Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes: "The goddess, the goddess has vanished!"
"What!" The girl exclaimed in disbelief, "Yesterday I saw the goddess buying wontons on the street..."
"What happened yesterday evening..." The old woman wiped away her tears, then said with hatred in her eyes, "They're all those damned demons!"
Then, the old woman told the girl what she knew.
"The Divine Servant Yu secretly loved the Goddess and didn't want to give her to Lord Meng Ji, so he kidnapped her while the demon spy Qing Wu was seeking revenge..."
"Lord Meng Ji pursued relentlessly, catching up only at the valley of Xiaoniu Mountain. The Divine Servant Yu then engaged Lord Meng Ji in battle, while the Goddess tried to break it up. Suddenly, the demon spy Qing Wu brandished the Demon God's Cone and attempted to assassinate the Goddess..."
"The goddess was... just like that..."
The old woman broke down in tears as she spoke.
The girl listening also had red eyes: "It's the demons again! The goddess was such a good person, how could she..."
This is the most widely circulated and most believed version.
Of course, there is another version of the story.
Another version is that Nan Guangyu was a traitor who colluded with Qingwu to kidnap the goddess, brutally murdered her in the Xiaoniu Mountain Valley, and was eventually captured by Master Mengji after being beaten to death and injured.
This version was quickly overturned by the goddess's chief guard, Lord Xie Zhi, on the grounds that Nan Guangyu wasn't stupid; if he really killed him, why didn't he escape? Why did he let Meng Ji attack him without fighting back? By the time the priest arrived, Nan Guangyu had already been beaten to death by Meng Ji.
Lord Xie Zhi is known for his fairness, and his words are naturally very authoritative, so this version is rarely mentioned.
As for the specifics of the situation, only the parties involved know.
