Chapter 234: Other ways to break the situation, why not hide? I still can't do anything to you
The light mist was steaming, and the scene there was revealed. The young man in white in the courtyard was still sitting there quietly, very extraordinary, as if he had known that the girl in white would come, and he was waiting for her.
The girl in white obviously noticed him as well. The moment she looked at him, her eyes were filled with coldness and hatred.
Having not seen each other for many years, there were no unnecessary words or movements. With a clang, the icy sword light appeared like a sudden burst of light from the sky, brilliant and dazzling, even so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Even though it was just a scene from the past, everyone was still given goose bumps by the murderous aura.
When Jiang Ruxian watched this scene, her eyes trembled, and her originally beautiful face turned a little pale.
She stretched out her hand as if to stop this scene, but when her palm was in mid-air, she suddenly reacted and stopped there in a daze, feeling inexplicably dejected.
This was just the reflection of Jiang Lan's current last level of earth tribulation. Although everyone was affected by this mysterious power of heaven and earth and could watch it from the perspective of a bystander, they were unable to intervene, let alone stop it.
"What a bad fate..."
At this moment, Jiang Lintian couldn't help but lower his eyelids and sighed softly, unable to bear to look at this scene.
Amid the surprised, puzzled and puzzled gazes of the crowd, the light fog became thicker and thicker, and faint sounds were heard from the scene, accompanied by some sighs.
"Still like this, not giving me a chance to speak?"
The young man in white who was sitting quietly in the courtyard spoke in a very calm voice.
Facing the girl's merciless sword, he simply stretched out one hand, put two fingers together, and easily clamped it, preventing it from moving at all.
No matter how hard the girl tried, she couldn't move the sword any further.
There was clearly no magical fluctuation or aura on his body, and as he sat there steadily, he looked like a towering and immortal mountain, intimidating.
"say what?"
The girl in white finally spoke, her voice clear and sweet, like an oriole.
She looked coldly at the young man in white, her eyes filled with deep hatred and even deeper hostility.
The young man in white sat there quietly, frowning. He ignored the hateful look on the girl's face and stretched out his other hand, touching his heart, muttering, "So, that heart is back."
Everyone was shocked and confused as they watched the extremely strange and bizarre scene in the picture. They didn't know whether this was the scene that had happened before, or a reflection of the earth tribulation that Jiang Lan was going through now.
Only Jiang Ruxian understood. She looked at her past self, and the hatred and hostility in her eyes that were almost undisguised. She lowered her eyes, unable to hide her sadness and pain.
When a person is blinded by hatred and anger, he will no longer be able to see the truth, and that was what happened to her at the beginning.
"Jiang Lan, what do you mean by this?"
In the picture, the girl in white shouted coldly, her hands clenched so tightly around the sword that they turned white.
"I understand now. So this is what this calamity means."
The young man in white did not respond to her, but continued talking to himself, as if he understood a lot.
"This calamity?"
"You also know that you will have such a disaster, so I came here today to seek justice and revenge on you."
"You die for me."
When the girl in white heard this, her hatred became even greater. She didn't know how a terrifying force like a torrent burst out from her body. The brilliant and dazzling fairy light made her forehead translucent, as if there was a small fairy sitting there.
These fairy lights filled every inch of her skin, making her look like a banished fairy from the mortal world.
She pulled with all her might, and this time the sword easily broke free from Jiang Lan's hand. Then, with greater force, anger, and hatred, she stabbed forward with a "swish".
However, what surprised and shocked her was that the sword was easily blocked by the young man in white in front of her, and could not advance even an inch.
His palm, which seemed to be made of fairy gold and divine iron, was firmly grasped there. The sword blade was very sharp, but it could not hurt him at all.
"Don't waste your energy." He said calmly.
"I don't believe it..."
The girl in white gritted her teeth and tried again, but no matter what means she used, the sword could not pierce the boy in white even half an inch.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them.
"Although I don't have any cultivation now, as long as I want, you can't hurt me in this world."
"Don't waste your energy." The young man in white said calmly.
The girl in white looked at him with hatred and said unwillingly, "Impossible, you can't become that powerful."
"This has nothing to do with being powerful. Can't you see that there is not a single bit of magic power fluctuation in my body right now?" asked the young man in white, then stood up from the pavilion.
The girl in white was stunned. When she saw him stand up, she quickly retreated backwards like a frightened bird.
Seeing this, the young man in white raised a smile that was hard to tell whether it was self-mockery or sarcasm, and said, "Didn't you come here to kill me? Why are you backing away because of fear?"
"I can't kill you."
The girl in white looked at him coldly, her palms turning pale as she clenched the sword tightly, looking very unwilling.
"Do you really want to kill me?"
The young man in white suddenly stopped, looked at her, and asked calmly.
“…”
"I thought that since you couldn't kill me, you would be patient and listen to my explanation, but you still didn't even give me a chance to explain."
"Do you really hate me that much?" Seeing her silence, the young man in white asked with a hint of mockery.
The girl in white gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger and hatred, and said, "I wish I could grind you into dust. What you hate and are disgusted with most right now is this hypocritical face of yours..."
"I wish you would never appear in front of me again in this life. I feel sick when I hear your voice."
“…”
"Yeah?"
The young man in white didn't seem to expect that her hatred for him had reached this level. He was silent for a moment, with a hint of self-mockery on the corner of his mouth.
"I am not as skilled as you. If you want to kill me or chop me up today, I will accept it. I only regret that I am not skilled enough and failed the chance God gave me to kill my enemy."
The girl in white tightly grasped the sword, with no other emotion in her eyes except hatred.
Hearing this, the young man in white just shook his head and did not respond.
He walked slowly in the courtyard, looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar environment around him, as if thinking about how to break the impasse.
Seeing that he ignored her, the girl in white gritted her teeth and rushed forward again with her sword.
However, the young man in white seemed to have eyes behind him. When her sword was about to stab him, he dodged it by slightly turning sideways, then grabbed her wrist and said calmly, "Don't waste your energy."
After saying that, as she cried out in pain, he casually snatched the sword from her hand and threw it to the ground.
"Don't humiliate me." The girl in white seemed to be shaking with anger, her teeth clenched.
Looking at the scene, the girl in white was rushing towards the boy in white regardless of everything.
It is really difficult for people to connect her with the current Jiang Ruxian who is detached from the world, able to shatter holy weapons with her palms and is so formidable.
However, Jiang Ruxian, the person involved, had an extremely complicated expression.
The development of the matter was beyond her expectations. She thought that the same mistake would be repeated and the same scene would happen again, but it did not happen.
"The last earth calamity is the most dangerous..."
"But he definitely knew how to crack it."
"Is he going to find another way?"
Jiang Ruxian stared at Jiang Lan who was standing there quietly. After a moment, she vaguely guessed what he had done.
There is a simple and direct way, why don't you do it? Don't you want to? Or can't you do it...
"fool……"
A gentle and tender smile appeared on Jiang Ruxian's lips as she murmured softly.
The light mist was rising and the scene was constantly changing. Everyone thought that Jiang Lan's calamity would be extremely dangerous and that all kinds of terrible battles would break out. After all, the girl in white was Jiang Ruxian in front of them. Everyone could see how powerful she was.
However, the scene was dull and if one ignored the murderous aura, it looked like a young boy and a young girl who were having a conflict over something and were constantly arguing, quarreling and fighting.
At the beginning, he was filled with hatred and wanted to tear the opponent into pieces. Later, he realized he was no match for his opponent and had to give up unwillingly. This cycle happened again and again, I don’t know how many times.
Moreover, the speed of time flow in this scene is completely different from that in the outside world. The surroundings of the courtyard are hazy and chaotic, and it is impossible to set foot in.
It looks like he is in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Daxia, but in fact he is just trapped in that small courtyard and cannot leave at all.
After each failed assassination attempt, the girl in white would eventually climb over the palace wall and leave unwillingly.
The young man in white did not try to stop them. He just sat quietly under the maple tree, thinking about something, and occasionally tried to leave the area.
It just doesn't work this way.
"Is there no other way out of this impasse?" he muttered, still sitting there quietly.
Time passed quickly in this scene.
Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall.
The girl in white was getting stronger and stronger, but every time she came, she would be defeated by the young man without any surprise, and then let go by him.
And every time, the young man in white would ask, "Do you want to stop?"
But every time he asked, he was answered with the girl's ruthless sword light, which was strong and sharp, with no mercy at all.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and I don’t know how long it has been.
The girl grew up, and the boy became a young man.
The maple tree was still gorgeous, and this time when faced with the question, the woman was still resolute and stabbed out an unprecedented sword with anger.
This sword was far more terrifying than any previous one. Even within the scene, the people outside could feel its extreme sharpness. When the sword came out, the sky collapsed and the earth split.
The maple leaves are falling, each one is like fire. It is still evening, and the setting sun is like blood, making the maple leaves look even more gorgeous.
The young man in white stood there quietly, looking at the sky with a complicated expression. He seemed to be feeling emotional because of the overlap of the scene before his eyes, and he seemed to be regretful because the ending was already doomed and there was no possibility of rewriting it.
Outside the screen, Jiang Ruxian's eyes kept trembling, and she had already guessed the young man's intention.
Before she could utter the word "no", she saw boiling blood gushing out, dyeing everything red. The falling maple leaves became even redder. I wonder if it was because of the setting sun...
This time the young man in white did not resist, allowing the sword to pierce through his chest with a "puff".
The chest was filled with rosy glow and five-colored divine light was rising out.
He looked at the blood that kept flowing and the dazed look on the woman's face, as if she couldn't believe it. His frown slowly relaxed and he seemed to have accepted it all calmly.
"Why don't you hide..."
The woman in white was stunned, her hands trembling constantly, as if she had never expected that he would not dodge.
The people outside the screen were also shocked by this scene. The powerful people in the eighth realm who had experience in going through the earth calamity were all trembling and found it unbelievable.
"This shouldn't be the case. Why doesn't Saint Jiang Lan hide..." someone couldn't help but ask.
Outside, under the dim sky, Jiang Lan still had his eyes closed, but this time his body trembled slightly.
Although this action was slight, there was no telling how many people were paying attention to him at this moment.
All eyes gathered together, and then they saw a stream of bright red blood suddenly seeping out from his chest, quickly soaking his white clothes.
The bright red bloodstain was still expanding, as if there was an invisible scar running through it, and the blood was pouring out uncontrollably.
"not good……"
"Something went wrong..." Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of many elders and peak masters of Taiyi Sect changed.
Most people frowned, some of them couldn't understand.
Although they were witnessing Jiang Lan's calamity from the perspective of bystanders, they could see that the way he wanted to break the impasse must be through the young girl Jiang Ruxian.
The so-called earth calamity is a causal calamity. Once the earth calamity is gone, all the causes and effects involved in the past will disappear. However, Jiang Lan did not fall into this empty illusion. He was sober from the beginning, which means that he is fully capable of simply and directly breaking this causal calamity, but he is still looking for other ways to break it.
Jiang Ruxian moved quickly. She tried her best to suppress the trembling of her hands and flew to Jiang Lan's side in the first possible moment. Between her slender fingers, rays of light danced, brilliant and crystal clear, like the light of a flying fairy, continuously being drawn from the void of heaven and earth, gathering towards Jiang Lan's chest, trying to stop the blood from flowing out of him.
"How stupid..."
"I've hurt you so deeply, so why can't you do that to me? For you, it's obviously easy to wipe out the me in the picture and survive this last catastrophe."
"You obviously know it, but why can't you do it..."
She murmured, her eyes slightly moist and misty in her eyes.
However, no matter how she tried to stop it, the wound on his chest could not heal. The blood still flowed out uncontrollably, and soon dyed his clothes red.
Just like that night when there was thunder and lightning and heavy rain, and he gave her his heart.
"sorry……"
Jiang Ruxian's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly hugged Jiang Lan, ignoring the shocked, confused and puzzled looks of the crowd.
Soon, even her spotless dress was stained red by the seeping blood.
"Jiang Ruxian..."
Queen Xia felt a great deal of sourness and dissatisfaction in her heart, but now she didn't know what Jiang Lan's situation was, and whether she had survived this catastrophe or not.
Jiang Ruxian was guarding there and probably wouldn't let anyone get close.
At this moment, in the scene of steaming light and mist, the young man in white looked at the wound on his chest and the heart that was pierced through it. His expression was unprecedentedly calm. His figure slowly faded, like a thin green smoke.
The dazed woman in white suddenly came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She stared at him blankly, and tears silently slid down her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." Her voice choked, and like Jiang Ruxian in the outside world, she rushed forward and hugged the young man in white tightly in her arms, as if she was reluctant to let him go.
But as the scene became blurred and indistinct, the figure of the young man in white gradually dimmed with the wind, and everything dissipated like sand.
Outside, Jiang Lan's body trembled, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the perfect face in front of him, as if he had expected it, and whispered, "I still can't do anything to you after all..."
"Stop talking."
Jiang Ruxian hugged him and let him lean his head against her arms.
At the same time, she raised her hand, and the Nine Tribulations Thunder Lotus Grass suddenly turned into a ball of misty light, wrapping towards Jiang Lan. There was a breath of life as soft as water lingering in it, like the womb of life, nurturing everything and nourishing everything.
At the same time, the sky rumbled and a misty fog spread. A magnificent and thick bridge like a fairy ladder appeared and disappeared there. Deep inside, it seemed to be connected to the glorious fairy palace and cloud tower, and all kinds of vast primordial sounds resounded and echoed.
Spiritual mist gathered between heaven and earth, and spiritual energy like wind and rain suddenly descended, then poured down, nourishing this place that had experienced a fierce battle.
All the cultivators and living beings who were in it felt that their cultivation was improving, their injuries were getting better, and even their lifespan seemed to have increased a lot.
"Legend has it that only when a saint breaks through will heaven and earth be moved and bestow blessings upon them."
"This is a heavenly nectar. It can only be compared to the rain from heaven that the emperor in ancient times received during large-scale ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the heavens."
“I didn’t expect that Saint Jiang Lan would have such good fortune just after breaking into the eighth realm. I’m afraid that every time he breaks through in the future, the people around him will benefit a lot.”
Many people were shocked, and then surprised, silently comprehending the wonders of the world.
Of course, some people found it strange. Jiang Lan had clearly failed at the last moment of the earth tribulation and even suffered backlash, but his cultivation level still broke through and it seemed that he was not greatly affected.
"Perhaps, there is a hidden reason. The earth calamity has not been completely overcome. There may be endless troubles in the future."
"This will be a hidden danger..." many monks thought to themselves.
And with Jiang Lan successfully breaking into the eighth realm, the war that swept across the entire land of Jiuzhou and many immortal sects has come to an end.
Li Sheng reappeared, while the Demon Saint disappeared without a trace. It seemed that even his aura and Tao had dissipated between heaven and earth. The result was self-evident.
Many people can predict that the days ahead will not be easy for the immortal sects in Dongyuan Prefecture, and the Taiyi Sect will definitely conduct a liquidation.
Without the Demon Saint, how could Dongyuanzhou contend against Taiyi Sect? As for the supreme powers who had attacked before, they were all killed one after another. Without the protection of the saint, how could they escape the pursuit of another saint?
Before Li Sheng appeared, the attitudes of the various immortal sects in Dongyuan Prefecture were so arrogant and strong, and they were determined to exterminate the Taiyi sect. In the eyes of many people, they deserved the fate they suffered today.
Of course, this matter was just an introduction from the beginning, and everything was done to lure the Demon Saint from Dongyuan Prefecture.
In order to set up this plan, even Jiang Lan used himself as bait. Many cultivators and creatures were frightened when they thought about it afterwards.
If they stood on the wrong side, their final outcome would probably be similar to that of the various sects in Dongyuan Prefecture.
There are countless immortal sects like Biyou Dongtian in Zhongtianzhou that are trembling in fear.
"Father, the overall situation has been determined. There shouldn't be any other problems next, right?" Jiang Lintian appeared beside Li Sheng and asked.
"A big fish escaped. There was something on it that tore apart the formation I had set up. It also completely concealed its aura from beginning to end, and at the last moment it erupted with saint-level power."
"This person is very cautious. I will deduce who he is later. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble." Li Sheng said with his hands behind his back and a deep look in his eyes.
"Lan'er mentioned to me that it might be related to the sect called Chen Sect in Nanmozhou..." Jiang Lintian's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of something.
Li Sheng looked in the direction of Nanmozhou and seemed to have seen something. He nodded and said, "No one can escape the reckoning. Next, we will establish the Immortal Dao Alliance. There is no obstacle in Dongyuanzhou. The other states should not act rashly for the time being."
As he spoke, his robes shook, and a set of ancient battle flags shrouded in chaotic mist emerged, filled with a solemn and murderous aura that could seal off the heavens and the earth.
"The soul of the demon saint has been imprisoned and sealed in it by me. You should refine and nurture it carefully. The power of this thing is not weaker than that of a saint-level magic array." Li Sheng said.
"Lan'er has just broken through the eighth realm. Father, why don't you leave this set of battle flags to him." Jiang Lintian shook his head slightly and did not accept it.
Li Sheng looked towards where Jiang Lan was currently and said, "With Jiang Ruxian by his side, are you still worried about his safety?"
Jiang Lintian sighed and said, "The stupid things we did back then, logically speaking, all the consequences should be borne by Qingshu and me, but in the end, they suffered."
"Qingshu has a domineering personality. Let her reflect on her mistakes later. If Jiang Ruxian becomes an enemy of Taiyi Sect, no one can stop her." Li Sheng said calmly.
Jiang Lintian was not surprised by this. Even the Demon Saint had no chance to fight back in Jiang Ruxian's hands.
Perhaps only Jiang Ruxian herself knows what her current cultivation level is.
"The Kunlun Immortal Ruins is the highest place in the Kunlun Mountains in legend. The bank of the Yaochi Lake is also the place where the Queen Mother of Heaven practices in seclusion. Since Jiang Ruxian is an immortal fetus brought out from the Kunlun Immortal Ruins, how could her origins be simple..." Li Sheng said with a deep gaze.
