Shangguan Xi didn't understand why she acted that way at the time. It seemed that only feelings could explain her behavior. Could it be that she had feelings for Nangong Yu? Shangguan Xi didn't know either. At that moment, she especially didn't want Nangong Yu to die, nor did she want this matter to end like this. Someone always had to make a sacrifice to pave the way for the victor, and Shangguan Xi became one of those who made the sacrifice.
Tears streamed down Nangong Yu's face. He raised his hand to wipe them away. He and Shangguan Xi had known each other since childhood. The Shangguan and Nangong families had always been close. They had known each other since they were very young, but at the time, neither of them thought they would have any interaction in the future. They couldn't stand each other. Until Xu Yuehuai arrived, they had little contact and never thought about getting to know each other.
Nangong Yu felt that the children of the Shangguan family were all very pretentious people and disdained to associate with such people. Shangguan Xi simply felt that Nangong Yu did not look like a good person and that he would not be able to get along with him. She had no intention of understanding him and even felt subconsciously disgusted when she heard about him.
Later, Xu Yuehuai came along. When both of them wanted to cross paths with Xu Yuehuai, they inevitably got to know each other. They then discovered that although the other was indeed quite annoying, he wasn't as annoying as they had imagined. And this level of annoyance seemed to be just right so that they could get along and live under the same sky.
For a moment, they started investigating again.
Xuan Chi stepped forward to check on Shangguan Xi's condition. Everyone else was waiting for his reply. When Xuan Chi realized that the person lying on the ground had stopped breathing, his hand trembled, and his face showed fear and confusion. He withdrew his hand, his eyes darting around. When everyone asked how he was, his voice sounded as if he had lost himself, "Dead."
Xuan Chi had never felt death so close. Although he had a hard time, he had relied on his own strength all the way up and hadn't made many close friends. So when those people died, it didn't seem to have much to do with him, and he didn't care much. But this time, it was someone he knew who died in front of him. This was too unbelievable.
No one in the room, except for Quan Cang, could laugh out loud. He opened his mouth wide and said with a smug look in his eyes, "Let me show you what happens when you offend me. You all better watch out, or you never know when you might lose your lives because of this. And when that happens, it won't just be one person mourning. Hahaha!"
"Quan Cang, you've done so many killings, have you ever thought about where you'll go after you die? The eighteen levels of hell, where you'll suffer endless torment and die a horrible death!" Nangong Yu placed Shangguan Xi's body on the ground, his eyes filled with pain.
The commotion here was significant, but not enough to attract the attention of the others in the palace. The snow mountain was vast, and there were no patrols here. Quan Cang had no intention of using those lowly soldiers to fight for him. When faced with Nangong Yu's questioning, he found it all utterly ridiculous. He chuckled coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and said, "You really are laughable. Don't you think what you're saying is inherently paradoxical?"
"If you want me to die, you have to be able to die yourself first. Do you think anyone can kill me right now? Or do you think you can make me die by your hand? Are you daydreaming? If you want to dream, you might as well lie on the ground and die like her, and then you can dream to your heart's content!" Quan Cang's eyes were full of disdain. In his eyes, killing these people in front of him was as easy as crushing an ant, without breaking a sweat.
The scene unfolding before them silenced everyone, leaving them speechless. "Fine...fine, today I'll show you how to spell 'death'!"
Blood, black holes, collapsing buildings—everyone rushed forward in an instant, giving Quan Cang no chance to react. If he had had a chance to react, he would have definitely overturned the whole thing and started over. When all the attacks hit Quan Cang, he simply changed from using one hand to block with both hands.
This incident had almost no impact on him. Quan Cang laughed arrogantly, "You can't kill me now."
Yan Zhi was calculating; she saw their future: some dead, some wounded. She was still alive because she hadn't participated in the fight. Her strength, whether she participated or not, was actually unimportant; her involvement wouldn't have changed the outcome.
Yan Zhihe and the people present had all met at some point. Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen were good friends who had cultivated together and exchanged a few words. Now, she had to watch helplessly as her friends died in front of her.
Yan Zhi shook her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe it was true, but reality was telling her how cruel it was.
Shangguan Xi died. She died on the snowy mountain. She loved snow all her life, and dying here can be considered as fulfilling a wish.
Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen both fell down, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Their heads slammed heavily against the ground, and they fell into a deep coma after the impact.
Yan Zhi stumbled and crawled to the two men, trembling as he took out pills from his pocket and tried to feed them, but the two men couldn't even swallow the pills.
It's unclear whether Yan's hand was trembling or if they were already dead.
If there is a way to die in despair, it is probably watching your friends die right in front of you, helpless and unable to save them. The only thing you can do is feed them a pill after they have all fallen, and then the matter is completely over.
Snowflakes began to fall from the snow-capped mountain, but Xu Yuehuai and the others paid no attention to it. They were repeatedly defeated by Quan Cang, but they got up and attacked again.
Xu Yuehuai wiped the blood from the corner of her eye to prevent it from getting into her eyes and obscuring her vision. "Today, you are destined to die here!"
"Wishful thinking!" Quan Cang was momentarily puzzled when he saw the snow. Logically speaking, this blood shouldn't exist, so why was it here? It was simply strange.
But he just thought that the guards hadn't been paying attention and hadn't suspected anything else.
