Chapter 237 Sisters (2)
The blue marks caused by the two Tianmen sword techniques were like a crack in the sky and earth, floating above the earth, and there was no trace of Luo Xuanyi's dark shadow.
The blazing blue flames gradually subsided, and a few scattered flowers bloomed behind Lai Mian, bringing waves of burning pain and waking her up from her near coma.
Her original Jindan-stage consciousness vanished, her meager spiritual energy barely supporting her breathing. Without the suppression of the Heavenly Gate Yin, all living things began to gradually become active again. Even a heartbeat was excruciatingly painful. Her muscles and bones seemed to have aged fifty years, cracking with the slightest movement.
Lai Mian opened her eyes, only to find her vision was extremely narrow, half-bright, half-dark, and she couldn't see clearly. But in the blur, she saw Yu Zhi, who was tightly held in her arms, his face, full of tears, exactly like hers.
Most of Yuzhi's skin was completely burned when she fell into the flames for the first time, but because of Lai Mian's protection, she did not suffer further harm.
There are no other injuries, which is great. I guess I was able to protect my sister for once.
"Laimian." Yuzhi's voice trembled. He reached out and touched Laimian's face, his fingers brushing against her right eye socket. "Your eyes..."
Eyes. Lai Mian felt a sharp pain coming from her right eye socket. She reached out and touched it, but only felt a hole, her hands covered in a sticky gray liquid.
Because she used her body to protect Yuzhi, one of her exposed eyes was burned before the flames went out, so she felt the world was blurry.
"Is that so?" Lai Mian suddenly felt calm. She loosened her grip, only to notice that only three bones remained, sticking out of her fingers. She tugged at Yu Zhi's tears with her sleeve, but the tattered, burnt sleeve only smeared a layer of gray on Yu Zhi's snow-white face. She had no choice but to give up.
"Laimian, I will heal you." Yu Zhi raised her hand and wiped away her tears. Her skin, except for her face, was burned, and the exposed muscles were extremely painful just by touching them. However, she picked up the giant sword again with almost no expression, and used the remaining spiritual power to force it into the sword.
Lai Mian shook her head and held down Yu Zhi's hand that was holding the hilt of the sword. Her entire palm was almost shaky, only connected to her forearm by a thin layer of skin. "Sister, I can't do it anymore. Let me do it."
"No." Yu Zhi rejected it without hesitation.
Lai Mian felt a little tired, her spiritual energy was rapidly draining away, and she could no longer sense Yu Zhi's realm. Yu Zhi's swordsmanship talent was still superior to Lai Mian's, and Lai Mian's realm had fallen to the ninth level of Qi training.
Yu Zhi smashed his arm against the sword with great rage, and the fragile skin burst into blood, all flowing onto the sword.
"Sister, I, I have always admired you." Lai Mian no longer had the strength to stop Yu Zhi. She leaned on the sword with all her strength, and the blood that kept dripping out washed away Yu Zhi's bloodstains. She closed her eyes and murmured tiredly, "I always thought I was the older sister, but I was wrong."
"I didn't dare stand in front of you at the time. I was really scared and wanted to run away. I also wanted to protect the common people and do my best to follow the right path and eliminate evil spirits. However, I found that I couldn't really sacrifice my life for these things."
"You are a human being, of course you will be afraid. No one can stop you from being afraid." Yu Zhizhi answered stubbornly.
"But sister, you are obviously afraid too." Lai Mian was carefully pushed away by Yu Zhi. Her breathing was already very weak, and her voice was almost a dream. "When I saw your inner demon, I was thinking,"
"I'm so unwilling. I want to protect you."
"Sister, this is the only thing I want to protect... I don't have such great ambitions, nor do I have such pure talents as you."
Lai Mian's bony fingers tightly grasped the corner of Yuzhi's clothes.
"Sister, I want you to live."
Yu Zhi smeared the blade with her own blood, and took a last look at Lai Ming, who lay on the ground, half of her body exposed. Her eyes trembled slightly, but she still whispered, "I'm sorry."
Lai Mian struggled to open his remaining left eye, watching the blue light emerge, and then—
“Click!”
A flag seemed to be made of flesh, blood and bones, and the pus hanging on it like tassels gently brushed against the giant sword, and then the sword broke with a sound.
The green light disappeared immediately before it could fully emerge.
Lai Mian and Yu Zhi looked up in a daze, looking at the girl in black who stood silently in front of them, and saw her suddenly snap her fingers.
“Bang!”
The poisonous pain all over the body suddenly disappeared as if it had not existed, and the stripped venom floated out and was absorbed into Luo Xuanyi's body.
"What are you guys putting on? Is this a special show for the six major alliances?"
The girl in black spoke with a somewhat exaggerated and nonchalant tone, as if everything that had just happened had not caused her any harm at all. Compared to being attacked, she didn't even think that Lai Mian and Yu Zhi were equal enemies.
A feeling of powerlessness gradually washed over Mian. Who she was no longer important. She only knew two things: her sister was alive, and her sister might be killed.
She tried to stop Yuzhi, but Yuzhi subconsciously wanted to grab Mian's sword to resist: "You are still alive? How is this possible!"
"Even after all this, you're still determined to eliminate evil? You're truly worthy of being one of the six major alliances." The black-clad girl clapped her hands in appreciation, then snapped her fingers, shattering the giant sword. Every move was exaggerated, as if choreographed, yet it was enough to make one realize the disparity in strength.
She suddenly remembered something and smiled friendly, "Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet."
"My name is Chen Ranming, and I'm a demon cultivator from the Zang Yao Sect."
"I apologize if I'm offended. I've only received second-hand information about your six alliances from others."
"By the way, someone asked me to borrow you to do something, so don't resist." In the eyes of Lai Mian and Yu Zhi, "Chen Ranming" spoke frivolously and jokingly, took out a bottle of healing pills and waved it, "If you resist, I will kill you. If you don't resist, you can live temporarily, and I will let you go after you are done with it. How about it, not a bad offer, right?"
"Do you think death can threaten us, demon cultivator?" Yu Zhi retorted coldly, but "Chen Ranming" did not show any anger at all.
"Okay, let me explain in more detail."
"If you resist, I will kill your sister. If your sister resists, I will kill you."
"Chen Ranming" squatted down with a smile and put the pill into Laimian Yuzhi's mouth.
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Second update~ Sister Yi started performing again hh, creating an exaggerated and stereotyped image of a demon cultivator~
Although both Yuzhi and Lai Mian are protecting the Great Dao, Yuzhi’s protection is more inclined to protect the common people of the world, of course his sister is also very important; Lai Mian looks rational, but in fact he only wants to protect his sister, and the common people of the world come second.
