Chapter 88
==================
Ning Chen could only feel the biting cold at first.
The chill in the water of the Endless Abyss River was even more unbearable than that of the Samsara River. It was a cold that penetrated into the bone marrow at the first touch, and soaking in it could make Ning Shen shiver with cold.
As he was falling, he realized that Tiannan had followed him down. He wanted to reach out and throw Tiannan back, but Tiannan held on to his hand tightly and refused to go up.
Submerged in the endless abyss, he felt a heavy pressure like a mountain gradually pressing down on his body. Although the feeling was not very pleasant, at least the resentful spirits in his body and sea of consciousness were silenced by the extreme cold.
The bet won!
Not only that, but this level of coldness and pressure would not kill Ning Chen. Instead, it was able to suppress the resentful spirits and resentment that were about to burst out of his body, thus saving him half his life.
Ning Chen almost immediately started to call System 014 to generate a new body for him.
However, it takes a certain amount of time to create a new body and input data. Ning Chen originally wanted to prevent the activation of the injury mark by quickly switching bodies. However, the injury formation set up by Xie Tingyun was really immoral. When he noticed that Ning Chen's body functions were reduced to the lowest level due to the extreme cold, he instantly transferred the damage caused by the ghost's tearing.
The current state of his original body is that the evil spirit in his body has subsided, but the evil spirit in his body is being frozen bit by bit. It seems that this body will not die so easily in the Endless Abyss, but if he cannot switch to a new body in a short time, he may be frozen here together with his body.
System 014 was almost sending sparks as it imported data, fearing that Ning Chen would die here.
However, Xiao Shisi thought about it while he was busy, and finally said: "In fact, even if I change into a new body, the injury mark will be activated."
"..." Ning Chen sighed: "Okay, got it."
Ning Chen was almost freezing to the point of losing consciousness. Tiannan was a spirit and could not feel the cold. Although he was not physically freezing in the Endless Abyss, the endless pressure was still pressing on him, making it difficult for Tiannan to move independently.
Tiannan looked around, as if he was trying to find someone, but the endless river was so deep that he could not see much around him. All he could see clearly was tranquility and nothing else.
Tiannan's soul was not strong enough to last for too long in the Endless Abyss. He originally wanted to try to swim out quietly to see if he could find the candle. However, before he could move, he was suddenly enveloped by a gentle evil aura.
Ning Shen's body was so cold that he almost lost all feeling. All his perception of the outside world began to blur. Naturally, he did not notice what was happening in Tiannan.
As Xiao Shisi prepared the new body for delivery, he asked, "Host, the new body is ready. Please choose a place to deliver it."
Ning Chen was just about to say that it would be enough to throw it near the outside of the ghost realm, but at this moment, Ning Chen suddenly felt the tearing and oppressive feeling on his soul disappear in an instant.
Ning Chen suddenly felt a sense of connection from his soul, and then a familiar spiritual energy enveloped Ning Chen's soul.
Ning Chen's expression changed, and he recognized Xie Tingyun's aura almost instantly.
System 014 asked, "What's wrong?"
“…”
Ning Shen was completely shocked.
He was already submerged in the endless abyss, how could Xie Tingyun still cast a spell on him from a distance? !
Ning Chen made a prompt decision and said, "Put the new body next to Xie Tingyun."
Xiao Shisi was stunned for a moment, then confirmed: "Are you sure, host?"
According to Ning Shen's cultivation level, it should not be a problem for the new body to swim up on its own in a short period of time.
However, if one stays in the Endless Abyss for too long, the result will only be that one will sink deeper and deeper, and finally one will be unable to withstand the pressure of the Endless Abyss, and will end up remaining in the Endless Abyss like this body.
"Sure," Ning Chen said quickly, "Hurry up, it will be too late later."
Ning Chen's intuition told him that Xie Tingyun might really be able to do something that ordinary people could hardly understand.
For example, after escaping from the realm of resentful ghosts, you still run back to die.
Xie Tingyun slowly sank into the endless abyss of darkness.
The spiritual energy in the body stagnated in just a cup of tea, and it began to circulate intermittently and with great difficulty.
The heavy pressure squeezed his lungs and weighed heavily on his shoulders, almost equal to the pressure released by several Mahayana monks at their full strength.
His body was shattered with countless tiny wounds due to the heavy pressure, and he was frozen by the biting cold all over his body.
Xie Tingyun was so numb that he could not feel any pain.
He could no longer see the light above his head, which meant that Xie Tingyun had already gone deep into a dangerous distance.
But this place is still some distance from the bottom of the abyss.
It seemed that the distance was about to exceed that at which the Chengfeng Sword could pull Xie Tingyun back, but Xie Tingyun's falling speed did not slow down.
At this moment, a subtle, almost undetectable wave suddenly appeared in the dark river water.
A hand suddenly stretched out from behind, wrapped around Xie Tingyun's body, and held him in his arms, preventing him from moving.
Xie Tingyun struggled and raised his elbow to strike back, but the man dodged and then reached out to stop him.
“…”
Xie Tingyun no longer had the energy to talk to others and explain.
He just thought that someone was coming to stop him, so he touched his storage ring with a blank face, and with a flash of the jade talisman in his hand, he was about to send the person behind him away.
However, the person behind him moved faster and more flexibly than Xie Tingyun.
Xie Tingyun's hand that was about to crush the jade talisman was silently held down by someone. The jade talisman that was about to be activated was instantly destroyed by the demonic energy that was poured into it, and became completely ineffective in Xie Tingyun's hands.
Ning Chen stretched out his hand and pressed Xie Tingyun's hand unreasonably. The long sword flew from the deep and dark place and hovered in front of the two of them.
Xie Tingyun could not see clearly in front of him or behind him. His senses were numb from being frozen, and his consciousness was very dull. He lost too much blood and felt stiff and cold, and his whole body was numb.
However, the hot body temperature of the person behind him, with strong vitality and energy, awakened Xie Tingyun's numb consciousness a little.
The devil's aura was released as if it was free, entwining around Xie Tingyun's wrists and fingers. Afraid that he couldn't feel it, it slowly entwined around Xie Tingyun's neck, taking this opportunity to rub back and forth on the sides of Xie Tingyun's face.
Xie Ting's eyes froze.
Ning Chen looked down and found that his magic aura was freely exerting some unknown power behind his back. It was fine if it was rubbing someone's fingertips and wrists, but why was it rubbing someone's face as well?
He obviously just wanted to release his aura so that Xie Tingyun would notice that he was still alive.
Changdao very consciously used the handle of the knife to pry open Xie Tingyun's tightly clenched palms, and forced himself into Xie Tingyun's palms, tied the long sword and Xie Tingyun's hands together with his magic breath, and then swam upwards with the two of them.
Xie Tingyun suddenly raised his hand and pressed Ning Chen's arm around his waist.
Xie Tingyun was very familiar with the long sword that was forced into his hand. The feel of this sword must be the one that Ning Chen had.
Weapons can reflect the state of their masters to a certain extent, and the long sword in Xie Tingyun's hand is full of active demonic energy, and it doesn't seem like a weapon controlled by a dying person.
The cold fingers trembled slightly as they touched the arms, wrist bones, and long, strong knuckles.
It is a human being. When sleeping, it is a living person, with an alive, healthy, strong body, not a broken and cold soul.
The face close to her ear did not dodge or flinch, allowing Xie Tingyun to raise his hand to touch it, tentatively tracing it bit by bit.
The demonic aura happily coiled around Xie Tingyun's movements, clinging tightly to his exposed skin, blocking out most of the chill and pressure.
Ning Chen's condition couldn't be better. He was like a brand new great demon in the realm of Silence, without any resentment, evil spirits, or other hidden injuries in his body.
After Xie Tingyun checked the physical condition of the person behind him, his first reaction was to relax a little, but his next reaction was that he had an intuition that something was wrong.
Tranquility never comes down from the bottom of the abyss, so how is it possible to be in such a healthy and full state?
However, the spiritual power in Xie Tingyun's body was almost completely frozen. When he realized that Ning Chen was really still alive, the spring in his body that had been stretched all the time rusted and broke. He strangely couldn't muster any energy or motivation, and an irresistible feeling of fatigue surged up from deep inside his body.
“…”
Xie Tingyun's scattered mind was suddenly awakened by a slight tingling sensation on the side of his neck.
The evil spirit circled around Xie Tingyun's neck anxiously, and finally bit a tiny wound on Xie Tingyun's skin carefully. After bringing Xie Tingyun back to consciousness, it rubbed around hurriedly, as if to express its apology to Xie Tingyun.
Once one loses consciousness in the endless abyss of biting cold and overwhelming pressure, it is equivalent to losing the perception of one's own body's condition. At that time, one will not even know that the elixir inside one's body has been squeezed and ruptured by the pressure.
Xie Tingyun's dilated pupils barely focused.
Yes... He had to see Ning Chen return to the ground safely, only then would he be truly out of danger.
There were not many jade talismans left in Xie Tingyun's storage ring. Ning Chen had just destroyed one of them, so there was only the last one left in the storage ring.
With shaking hands, he fumbled in the storage ring for a long time, and finally took out the last jade talisman.
First use the jade talisman to send Ning Chen up, and then Xie Tingyun will find a way to get out. Anyway, he still has Cheng Feng in his hand, so he can overdraw his spiritual power and let Cheng Feng pull him back.
However, Ning Chen's understanding of Xie Tingyun has reached an incredible level. Ning Chen is even more familiar with Xie Tingyun's storage ring than anyone else.
Ning Chen snatched Xie Tingyun's jade talisman with his backhand, sighed, and said in a voice transmission: "This is the only one left. Either I use it to send you up first, or I keep the jade talisman temporarily and take you out later. It's your choice."
If I destroy one more, even Ning Chen will not be willing to let it go.
"..." Xie Tingyun's eyelashes trembled, but he finally compromised.
Ning Shen's good state of mind meant that he was destined to have absolute say at this time.
However, even if it was the state of Silence at its peak, from descending into the Abyss to breaking out of the water, it actually consumed nearly 70% of its demonic energy.
In such a short period of time, the devil energy of a great demon in the state of Silence was almost exhausted, which is enough to show how terrifying the Endless Abyss is.
Such a huge amount of energy was consumed in such a short time. In addition, Xie Tingyun was still quite far from the bottom of the abyss at that time. If Xie Tingyun really sank to the bottom, he probably wouldn't have to come back.
Ning Chen broke the surface of the water, dragging Xie Tingyun to the shore, gasping for breath and unable to speak for a while.
Xie Tingyun crouched deeply, his white clothes soaked in blood sticking to his body, outlining the thin and trembling lines of his back. He held Ning Chen's arm with his hands clenched until his knuckles turned blue and white. He refused to let go no matter what, not even when the people on the shore hurriedly came up to help them.
Ning Chen wiped the water drops off his face, first lifted Xie Tingyun up, then raised his hands to prop himself up, wondering: "Look at you, what has become of you? Why are you still so stubborn as to want to come down?"
Xie Tingyun closed his eyes deeply: "..."
