Chapter 116 (Knife)

Stop loving me.

Tick, tick, tick.

The boots hit the ground, making a regular sound.

But there seemed to be something wrong with this sound.

It wasn't just the crisp sound of boots hitting the ground, there seemed to be a little sticky sound of water when it was lifted up and put down.

The people here helped Xie Tingyun up. Daoming turned around alertly and asked, "Who?!"

Xie Ting Yunguang couldn't even support himself with the help of Chengfeng, so he could only half-kneel on the ground, leaning against Chengfeng to barely stand up.

The newcomer walked up to the crowd little by little.

Xie Tingyun raised his head, and the first thing he saw was the nasty piercing wound between Ning Chen's waist and abdomen. His eyes suddenly turned red.

The man was dressed in a black gilded robe, and the blood gushing out of his body had stained the gilded patterns into an unknown dark red. The dripping sound came from far away and gradually approached in the dead silence, silently indicating that the person was getting closer and closer.

Daoming's pupils shrank, and his attention was focused on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

There's no way, the Demon Lord's current appearance looks too abnormal.

Originally, that pair of dark red eyes could be said to be just a matter of pupil color, but now the dark red has completely turned into bright red. When looking into each other's eyes, I can no longer feel any human warmth, but only a bottomless chill and bloodiness.

Ning Chen just glanced at him and then lowered his eyes.

He stopped in front of Xie Tingyun and was silent for a while. He said to himself, "You are asking who I am in my magic palace, in front of my blood pool. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

“…”

Ning calmly inserted Bu Nian deeply into Cheng Feng's side.

This sudden change startled everyone. Daoming, who was closest to him, thought that he was going to attack and immediately drew his sword to block it, but his sword missed.

Ning Chen didn't even look at him. He brushed his wet clothes and then knelt on one knee in front of Xie Tingyun.

Xie Tingyun held Chengfeng's hand tightly, squeezing his knuckles until they turned blue.

Ning Chen raised his hand and gently pinched Xie Tingyun's cold jaw. He used a little force to make him lift it up so that he could look at her.

Ning Chen looked carefully at Xie Tingyun's pale face, which was stained with blood, and the warm blood was stained again because of Ning Chen's touch.

Xie Tingyun's pupils were trembling constantly.

Ning Chen then silently replaced his scarred hand and used his other hand to wipe the blood off Xie Tingyun's face bit by bit.

He looked so pale and fragile, his protruding Adam's apple occasionally moved, his throat was within reach and could suffocate him with a slight pinch, and his neck even had bite marks from last night's prank.

Now that mark was covered with blood, it was almost impossible to distinguish the two.

Neither of them was in a good condition; both were covered in blood and looked miserable.

Ning Chen gently pinched Xie Tingyun's jaw, forcing him to open his mouth, and blood was seen between his teeth.

Ning Shen's voice was extremely hoarse: "Stop biting."

Somehow, just after he said this, Xie Tingyun's back suddenly collapsed, and he began to tremble as if he could not bear it at all.

Ning Chen leaned down and held the man in his arms. The demonic energy was consuming the remaining demonic energy in Xie Tingyun's body, and blood began to seep out of Ning Chen's body again.

Xie Tingyun sobbed silently, and tried to touch Ning Chen with trembling hands, but he knew that if he put his hand there, it would be a secondary injury to the wound.

Ning Chen sighed, "Thank you, Tingyun. I admit it. I am an idiot. You are right to scold me. I clearly didn't believe that you were not the dying man, but you still took advantage of the opportunity and almost succeeded."

Xie Tingyun shook his head in his arms, trembling all over and choking with sobs: "Stop..."

Ning Chen let him go, lowered his head and looked him in the eye, whispering: "Xie Tingyun, I actually don't know what love is. You said that love is sharing pain, and that's how you shared it with me. You still want me to stop now."

Ning Chen sighed and said, "Xie Tingyun. So love can also be a kind of deception and harm? Then I don't want to love you anymore. I hate you."

“…”

Xie Tingyun suddenly closed his eyes and coughed up blood. He raised his hand to cover his lips, but blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.

Ning Shen frowned.

At this moment, Bu Nian suddenly pulled it out from the ground, and then stabbed Daoming who was about to jump into the blood pool.

Daoming's face changed, and he held his sword across his body. He was forced to retreat a few steps due to the impact of Bunian.

Ning Chen said coldly, "Get lost."

“…”

Daoming's hand holding the sword was shaking slightly, which was caused by the impact.

He glanced at Ning Chen, slowly retracted his sword, and took two steps back.

Ning Chen then turned his gaze back, bent down and picked up Xie Tingyun, and said coldly: "Why don't you leave? Do you want me to see you off in person?"

Without thinking, he hung in front of everyone, and his devilish aura began to burn, which was a sign of preparing to strike.

...Based on the Demon Lord's mental state at this moment, it is really uncertain whether he will take action.

"Let's go, let's go now," Dao Ling raised his hands, holding a bottle of medicine in his hands, and said, "It's for nourishing the meridians."

Keep a backup plan.

Ning Chen looked at him coldly, his devilish aura wrapped around the bottle of medicine, and then he took the bottle and went into Xie Tingyun's arms.

After watching them all leave, the restrictions in the Demon Palace were instantly reduced by more than ten layers. The defense was so strict that except for Ning Chen, not even a fly could fly out. Even if the group of Mahayana masters concentrated their fire, they could not get in.

He carried Xie Tingyun into the palace where he lived. A heavy dragging sound came from behind him. The heavy bronze door slowly closed and was completely locked. Ning Chen was worried and added several more layers of restrictions. Only then did he bring Xie Tingyun back to the bedroom.

Since then, Xie Tingyun disappeared from everyone's sight.

The few people who knew the truth kept silent. The disciples who didn't know the inside story anxiously tried to find out the news, but they didn't hear anything.

In the past few days, anyone who wanted to visit the two of them to see their injuries was ruthlessly blocked by the restrictions. Ning Chen's possessiveness over Xie Tingyun became extremely serious because of this incident. He was only willing to remove a few layers of restrictions when Xie Tingyun's injuries were completely healed, so that people outside could see that Xie Tingyun was intact, and then he continued to hide Xie Tingyun.

Even when Dao Ling came in person, he was turned away with a calm and indifferent expression.

Like an extremely insecure beast, it only keeps its beloved prey in the enclosed area and doesn't want to go out and interact with other random people.

That’s right, I’m talking about Daoming and other messy people who secretly discussed some demonization plan behind his and Xie Tingyun’s backs!

Xie Tingyun's soul and heart were not injured because his transformation into a demon was not thorough enough. His most serious injuries at the moment were the damage to his meridians and the loss of his spiritual power.

During this period, Xie Tingyun begged Ning Chen many times to take a look at his injuries, but Ning Chen refused to listen.

He could only hastily come up with a cleaning trick to simply clean the blood on his body and then suppress the injury casually.

He might have fallen into some strange state. He would not listen to anyone and was only focused on healing Xie Tingyun's injuries. It was as if he had to see Xie Tingyun fully recovered with his own eyes before he could care about other things.

Xie Tingyun fell into a brief window of opportunity. His combat power was almost zero at this time. He could not take care of Ning Chen at all and could only recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.

Until the day when Xie Tingyun was completely cured, Ning Chen held him in his arms and checked him from head to toe for dozens of times, confirming that Xie Tingyun had no hidden injuries or diseases, could use his spiritual power normally, his spiritual power was flowing normally, his meridians were normal, his spiritual roots were normal, his internal organs, his sea of ​​consciousness, and his soul were normal. Only then did he nod and say the first words he had said in a while: "Okay."

"Please, treat your injuries."

--good.

When he said this, his chin was resting on Xie Tingyun's shoulder. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes silently and fell into a deep sleep for the first time in two months.

Ning Chen's injuries were actually no less severe than Xie Tingyun's.

The devil energy in the blood pool poured into Xie Tingyun's body, and then all of it was transferred into Ning Chen's own body through the devil energy.

The water level in the blood pool dropped by the size of a fist. Even when Ning Chen was soaking himself to temper his devil heart, he didn't use this much water.

Ning Chen couldn't absorb the ancient magic blood containing high concentration of magic aura at all, so he simply absorbed it lazily, just like he did in the ghost realm, using himself as a container to "swallow" and transfer the magic aura from Xie Tingyun's body.

Therefore, Ning Chen's demonic aura did not activate his plundering talent at all. It just served as a transfer medium. The one who actually suffered the erosion of the demonic blood was Ning Chen himself, not this medium.

Once the medium transfers the damage, it will not be eroded by the evil spirit in the blood pool.

Now Ning Chen's body is full of demonic blood that does not belong to him. The excessive demonic energy contained in it is constantly tearing Ning Chen's meridians. His plundering talent operates automatically, absorbing and transforming it, and then automatically repairing himself. However, the demonic blood absorbed by his plundering talent is simply a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of demonic blood in Ning Chen's body.

During those days, Ning Chen had to use the cleansing technique seven or eight times a day, and his body was still often wet. Xie Tingyun reached out and touched his palm, and found it was full of blood. Xie Tingyun's body had begun to accumulate spiritual power. He wanted to feed Ning Chen, but Ning Chen refused to eat. He wanted to treat Ning Chen's injuries, but Ning Chen ignored him.

He doesn't deal with it himself, nor does he let others deal with it for him.

Xie Tingyun almost collapsed.

If it wasn't for the fact that blood would drip onto Xie Tingyun when applying or changing the dressing, Ning Chen wouldn't even try to suppress the injuries inside his body.

He didn't care about the penetrating wound in Ning Shen's abdomen. Until now, the wound was still turned outward and white, and his palm was also bloody and the white bones were exposed.

These were all wounds Ning Shen inflicted on himself in order to resist the effects of the aphrodisiac. He showed no mercy when he hurt himself, as if he had gone mad.

Xie Tingyun cleaned the wounds one by one. His hands started shaking more and more and he was almost exhausted.

He...he thought Ning Chen could have an unusually peaceful sleep, but Ning Chen injured herself badly in order to resist the incense he had placed on her.

He thought that as long as he fell into the devil's trap and survived the tribulation, he would be able to forge a second devil's heart in the world, and everything would be happy.

But he hadn't even completed his fall from the devil before Ning Chen took away half of his pain in the blood pool. Now his body was covered with wounds, he had a high fever and was in a deep coma.

Ning Chen's words, "I don't want to love you anymore," replayed in his mind countless times.

Stop loving me.
