Chapter 54 Goodbye Stars, I'm in so much pain
When Xu Xingxing arrived in Guicheng, it was already bright.
No, this place can no longer be called Guicheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a thousand miles of scorched earth, and there is no trace of its former prosperity.
The damaged city wall stands like a natural tombstone, as if telling people that there was once a city here.
Above the city wall, there were three thousand Kunlun monks floating in the air on their swords. With a certain point as the center of the circle, they spread out layer by layer, surrounding the inside tightly.
Fang Zhiming spotted Xu Xingxing from a distance and flew to her side, beginning to recount the entire story: "Last night, Elder Xue noticed something was happening in Guicheng and led his men to investigate. He initially thought it was a demonic presence, but he never imagined..."
Even without Xu Xingxing saying anything, she understood what he meant. She didn't respond, so Fang Zhiming continued, "His sins were too grave. When Elder Xue discovered him, he wanted to execute him. But Xiao Hei was unconscious at the time, and with such formidable strength, he actually injured dozens of Jindan cultivators. If Master hadn't arrived with three thousand cultivators, Elder Xue's life would have been in danger..."
Fang Zhiming looked at Xu Xingxing's expression and sighed, "Senior Sister, you didn't see how crazy Xiao Hei was at that time. If we hadn't arrived in time, he would have torn the Yuanying cultivator to pieces. It's no exaggeration to say that the cultivator's head was almost ripped off."
"Several Divine Transformation cultivators couldn't even suppress him. It was only when I suddenly had the idea to transmit a message to you that he was stunned for a moment, then regained his senses. Only then did Master and the others seize the opportunity to set up the killing formation."
"Today... Xiao Hei is doomed... Senior Sister, please take one last look at him..."
Take one last look at him.
One last look...
Even though he had prepared himself mentally along the way, when he finally arrived at the scene and heard these words, Xu Xingxing found that he still found it hard to accept.
Why did it turn out like this?
What went wrong?
Why did things get so out of control?
What did she do wrong?
Her chest felt stuffy and she almost suffocated. She didn't know whether the emotion that was about to overwhelm her was anger or sadness.
I just feel like a tiny and powerless ant at this moment, unable to anticipate anything and unable to protect anything.
Xu Xingxing calmed her mind and flew forward. The cultivators outside made way for her one by one, and she followed the passage to the innermost layer.
Seeing Yue Baiyin waving at her, she flew to his side. Then, Yue Baiyin stepped back a little, pulled her again, and led her to Xu Yi's side.
She did not resist. After she stood firm, she finally dared to look up at the person in the formation whom she had been thinking about day and night recently.
The man was standing in the middle of the scorched earth, kneeling on one knee, dressed in red, his beauty was ostentatious and unrestrained. His long hair was loose, his body was covered in blood, and even with his eyes slightly lowered, he couldn't hide his overwhelming murderous aura.
And under his feet was a golden magic circle that stretched for miles, like a huge net trapping him inside.
The ultimate killing formation.
On the way here, she thought a lot, thinking that when she got here, she would definitely stand in front of him and ask him why he did this. She also thought about slapping him twice without saying anything.
But when she really got there and knew that he was going to die, she was filled with confusion and had no idea what to do.
I don't want to do anything anymore.
"He saved you before, and he's a good dog who protects his master," Xu Yi spoke first, still indifferent, his expression unchanged. "But this matter is of great importance. Many people have died in vain. We must not let him off lightly. He must die today. You go and break the beast contract with him."
Xu Xingxing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why would he do such a thing?"
As soon as she said this, the man in the formation suddenly froze, raised his face and looked straight at her, and then, his eyes, which had been lifeless, suddenly burst into a bright light.
Xu Xingxing's eyes felt sore and she dropped her eyes.
Xu Yi glanced sideways and asked, "Does it matter? Thousands of Guicheng's civilians have been reduced to ashes. Such a cruel act should not be committed for any reason. Now that things have come to this, it's his own fault. You don't need to feel sorry for him."
Yes, since things are irreversible, Xiao Hei must bear the consequences of his own actions.
A life for a life, that's how it should be.
Yes, that's how it should be.
Seeing that Xu Xingxing had fallen silent and didn't move, Xu Yi reminded him again: "Go and release the beast contract."
Xu Xingxing's face was pale, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes. She just shook her head and said, "No, that's it."
He paused and said, "I can't die."
Xu Yi was about to lose his temper when Yue Baiyin stopped him. He calmed down a bit, sighed, and shouted, "Call it back!"
Three thousand monks all raised two fingers to their lips and chanted a spell. The words took shape in the air and then merged into thousands of golden ropes, leading into the dark clouds above.
The moment the magic stopped, everyone shouted together:
"now!"
Then, a huge golden magic circle slowly descended from the dark clouds, shining in harmony with the one on the ground.
Xu Yi asked again: "Don't you understand the contract?"
"I don't understand." He replied stubbornly with a wooden face and lowered eyes as he said these two dry words.
Xu Yi felt sorry for her, so he changed his tone and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to him?"
Xu Xingxing's dull eyes finally moved, and finally turned his gaze to the person in the center of the magic circle again.
What?
Ask him why he would do such a thing?
Why is there such indiscriminate killing of innocent people?
She asked while transmitting the message.
But Xiao Hei just listened quietly without saying a word.
Ask her the same questions again?
What's the point.
What's more, she was already trying her best to suppress the urge to take him away. If she really stood in front of him, there was no guarantee that she would not soften her heart.
So, she withdrew her gaze and said, "There is nothing to say."
Xiao Hei seemed to have noticed her escaping attempt, and the killing formation trembled several times. The monks hurriedly chanted spells to stabilize the formation again.
The golden formation slowly descended, the surrounding air spread outward, and the people in the formation finally stopped moving, as if in deathly silence.
Xu Xingxing almost bit her lower lip. She turned slightly to the side, forcing herself not to look at the person in the center of the killing array.
She reduced her five senses to the minimum and just silently repeated the same words in her mind.
His crimes are extremely heinous and unforgivable, and he deserves to be put to death.
If he doesn't die now, he will be a huge potential danger in the future.
He deserves to die.
He deserves to die.
Over and over again, like hypnosis.
Fang Zhiming, who was standing behind her, saw her trembling all over, her face pale, even her mouth bloodless. He said worriedly, "Senior Sister, why don't you go back? You'll be fine soon."
Later...
Then she could certainly endure it for a while.
She had to watch the spirit beast she saved leave.
It will only take a moment.
She also wanted to collect his body.
No, this killing array would probably make him vanish into thin air, and she wouldn't be able to collect his body.
Well, then she only needs to worry about this for a while.
After this period, she no longer had to worry about him.
Soon, he will die and everything will be fine.
I wish I never saw you again.
Time is powerful. She can always forget him and comfort herself.
Suddenly, Yue Baiyin tugged at her sleeve and said, "Xiao Hei is giving you something. Hey, that thing is flying over here. What is it? It looks like a golden bell."
Her breathing suddenly stopped and she turned her head to look over.
Zooming in, she saw that the golden bell flying towards her was exactly the same as the one she crushed, except that the pinyin engraved on it was a little unfamiliar, and it was obvious that it was engraved by Xiao Hei himself.
The world was completely quiet, with only the sound of blood flowing in her body and the questions flooding her mind.
Never see you again,
Is it okay?
Not the kind where you know he's alive but can't see him.
But it's the kind that no matter how much you miss it, you can't find it anywhere.
Completely and completely gone.
Like Uncle Hei.
Like grandma.
The dead end she had forced herself into was completely shattered at that moment.
don't want!
I don’t want it!
"Senior Sister!"
"Hey, stars!"
When she came to her senses, she had already grabbed the golden bell and flew towards the person in the formation.
All the sounds in the world were silenced, only the man's eyebrows and eyes became clearer and clearer.
It was not until this moment that she realized that she had not looked at him so seriously for a long time.
His face was covered in blood, but it only made his extremely beautiful eyes stand out more.
What kind of eyes were those? The pupils were dilated and lifeless, as if he was blind. There seemed to be red tear marks on the side of the eye sockets, as if he had been crying.
Seeing her flying towards him, Xiao Hei's eyelids trembled slightly, and he frowned as if uncertain, then tried hard to focus his empty eyes.
The gaze was in a trance for a while, and finally fixed on her, and then it burst into an unusually clear light, as if a dead person had revived.
It suddenly reminded her of the Harumi that she had seen with him before.
He opened his arms involuntarily, probably wanting to catch her, but Xu Xingxing just landed two meters away from him.
His expression was slightly disappointed, but it was only for a moment. He looked at her eagerly again and murmured, "Stars..."
The voice is hoarse and unpleasant.
Yes, by now the barbs of the beast-locking chain should have pierced his main meridians and throat, making it difficult for him to make a sound, and certainly not one that would sound pleasant.
Xu Xingxing looked at Xiao Hei's neck which was tightly handcuffed with the beast chain. The wound under the golden handcuffs was still bleeding slowly, and the blood was flowing into his crimson collar.
Her heart ached, but she wore a nonchalant expression. She threw the golden bell away and said coldly, "If it's broken, it's broken. No matter how well it's repaired, it won't be the same as before."
Xiao Hei's body froze as he watched the bell fall to the ground, roll a few times, and hit the hem of his clothes.
The light in his eyes dimmed, and his expression was slightly broken, but he said nothing. He just slowly bent down and picked up the bell.
Xu Xingxing's tears wanted to burst out several times, but she held them back. She swallowed the wetness in her throat and spoke again: "Xiao Hei, I will ask you one last time,
"Why would you do that?"
Xiao Hei didn't answer. He stood up, looked at her, and stepped towards her.
With every step he took, the golden magic circle would emit several golden laser-like rays, trying to stop him.
But he seemed unaware, allowing the formation to draw bloody marks on his body and blood to flow all over the ground, but he did not even shift his gaze at all, staring at her, and walked in front of her step by step.
Xu Xingxing wanted to step back, but her body couldn't move. She watched Xiao Hei stand in front of her, slowly took her hand, gently held it in his palm, and rubbed it with his thumb, as if it were a treasure.
She felt she should pull her hand away, but her heart was more craving for his warmth than ever before. The emotions she had been suppressing were about to explode. She bit her lip again to hold it back, but her voice finally lowered: "Even after all this, you still won't tell me anything?"
Xiao Hei looked at her seriously and devoutly, then raised his other hand and stroked her face.
The golden array's power surged again, piercing his arm directly. He didn't even tremble, his expression was more docile than ever before, and he said coquettishly, "Xingxing really doesn't care whether I live or die?"
Xu Xingxing forced herself to glare at him and sneered, "Why should I care? You pulled out Xiaoran's tongue, and now you've committed such a heinous crime. How can I care whether you live or die?"
She saw Xiao Hei's eyes darken little by little, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Then it's better not to have this life."
Then he took out a golden bell and clumsily tied it to her bun, imitating her previous method. He looked at her again and said seriously, "This bell is a new one from me, given to you."
After a pause, he said, "Don't throw it away..."
"Count me in, please."
Xu Xingxing's heart, which had been forcibly hardened, softened in an instant, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and said in a feigned anger, "What is this? A relic gift? I don't want it. I'll throw it away soon. I'll throw away all your things, and then I'll forget about you. You mad dog, I know you want to piss me off to death!"
Seeing her angry, Xiao Hei laughed instead, his voice hoarse but tender: "Xingxing, I miss you so much."
"I miss you so much..."
Xu Xingxing was still furious: "Miss your mom! If you really miss me, can you please spare me some worry? How easy is my life? You don't say anything when I ask you, but just keep talking about these nonsense..."
Xiao Hei didn't wait for her to finish, he pulled her wrist and slowly held her in his arms, his face buried deeply in the crook of her neck, and murmured:
"Xingxing, I'm in so much pain."
