Chapter 79 Another Sword
This failure was so devastating, and he was further humiliated. Su Yun didn't want to continue, since he couldn't complete the mission anyway if he stayed.
Since Long Aotian wouldn't kill him, he would kill himself.
Su Yunyu stared at the Xuehua Sword in her hand, recalling the pain of being pierced through the heart by it in her previous life, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. She asked 111:
"Could you please grant me a pain-free buff so I can successfully commit suicide? In my next life, I promise to do my quests well to repay you."
Actually, he probably hasn't figured out what he wants to do in his next life yet; he just wants to end this life as soon as possible.
However, it is still necessary to make promises to 111.
111 hesitated somewhat after hearing this:
[Seriously, how much chance do you have of completing this mission in your next life? If you send it again, I really don't have the energy left.]
The failures of more than ninety lifetimes not only consumed Su Yunyu, but also 111's initial energy.
“The odds of winning…” Su Yunyu felt a little guilty and was about to continue making empty promises when 111 interrupted her with a sigh:
"Fine, considering how long we've been together, I'll give you a buff this time."
Most hosts would give up after ten failures, but Su Yunyu persevered for over ninety lifetimes. With such a tenacious host, 111 still held out hope.
Su Yunyu was somewhat moved upon hearing this:
"111, I never expected you to be so kind to me..."
111 then changed the subject:
[In your next life, remember to apply to our headquarters to remove the mosaic, otherwise I won't even be able to enjoy the gossip in high definition.]
"hehe."
So he was still up to no good; let's pretend he didn't say anything.
After activating the pain relief buff in 111, Su Yunyu stroked the blade of the Xuehua Sword with a guilty look in her eyes, thinking that in the previous life, this sword killed its master, and in this life, it will kill its master again. This sword has followed the wrong person.
Xuehua Sword seemed to sense something bad; its blade trembled, but it ultimately did not break free from Su Yunyu's grasp.
Although the sword spirit is not fully enlightened, it remains steadfastly loyal to its master.
111 urged her on in her sea of consciousness. Su Yunyu thought of Xiao Shuying who was still outside. In order to prevent him from suddenly barging in again, she waved her hand, and the icy blue spiritual energy flowed like the Milky Way, turning into a shimmering barrier.
Although his cultivation level is not as high as before, he can still hold off the enemy for a while.
After preparing herself, Su Yunyu gripped the scabbard as tightly as she had gripped the dagger before. She took two deep breaths to overcome her fear, then pointed the sword at her heart, extended it outwards, closed her eyes, and plunged it down fiercely.
The sword spirit could not disobey its master, nor could the protective array on its body defy its will. Therefore, when the sword pierced down, there was a clear sound of flesh being torn apart.
The Snow Flower Sword flew away from Su Yunyu's exhausted palm in an instant, circling around him, looking extremely anxious, but Su Yunyu didn't feel anything.
He could only feel a chill in his chest. He raised his hand to touch it, and his palm was soaked in the coldness. He looked down and couldn't help but gasp.
His five fingers were stained red with blood, and there was a huge hole in his chest, which looked extremely gruesome. Blood flowed out, taking away life like a river.
Because of the buff, and the fact that she would soon be able to leave this world, Su Yunyu was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was extremely excited. First, she grasped the Xuehua Sword that was circling around her and soothed it.
"It's okay, I wanted to do it myself."
After saying that, he put the Snow Blossom Sword back into his spatial storage, afraid that the sword spirit would faint from blood. Then he teased 111:
"Speaking of such a bloody scene, were you watching it in high definition?"
[That's of course not] 111 denies:
[You're just a blurry mosaic in my eyes now, all white and red mixed together, I can't even see you clearly]
"Then I'll apply for a regulation to remove the mosaic from bloody scenes in your next life."
111 is angry:
If you keep doing this, I'll shut down your pain relief program.
Although it wouldn't do such a despicable thing, Su Yunyu no longer had the energy to continue joking with it, because her consciousness was as if she had swallowed a hundred sleeping pills, and she became drowsy.
Just before she couldn't hold on any longer, Su Yunyu forced a smile and said to 111:
"Hehe, see you in the next life."
111 watched with mixed feelings as Su Yunyu fainted. Just as she was wondering whether she should take a nap and wake up to find herself in the next life, she suddenly heard a loud bang:
The barrier that had been erected had shattered into a shower of snowflakes, accompanied by a deafening roar. First, dust littered the ground, then a hazy, indistinct light appeared—
The door was blasted open with a huge gap, and it seemed that half of the wall had collapsed. The air was swirling with shattered pieces. 111 looked over in fear and saw a figure standing in the mess.
Clad in black with gold patterns, a flame between his brows—it was indeed Xiao Shuying. Upon recognizing him, 111's vision went black, and she fainted. Before she lost consciousness, only two words escaped her lips:
[Finished]
The dust from the collapsed wall filled the air, making the light that had just darkened even more blurred. Standing in this chaos, Xiao Shuying was filled with a fierce aura.
He sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy, and when he couldn't open the door, he realized that Su Yunyu had set up a barrier. It was obvious that Su Yunyu was deceiving him again.
Although it wasn't the first or second time, Xiao Shuying still felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Why were all the benefits Su Yunyu offered fake?
After this, he would never be fooled by Su Yunyu again.
But soon the tranquility of the room was accompanied by a heart-pounding unease. Through the chaotic dust, Xiao Shuying saw a large, glaring red clamoring about.
red……
Xiao Shuying's pupils contracted sharply, and the anger in his heart was plundered by a sharp, needle-like anxiety. At this moment, everything went blank. He almost flew to the bedside, but the sudden surge of bright red blood in front of him made him stagger a few steps and almost fall to his knees.
"Master..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Shuying realized that even her voice was trembling uncontrollably. All she could see in her vision was the jade figure from before, now lying silently on the bed with her eyes closed and her face pale.
The deep gash in his chest was already blurred, and the blood flowing out stained his white clothes to shreds, and also stained the bed with a bright crimson color.
Looking at Su Yunyu's wound, Xiao Shuying felt a sharp pain pounding in her heart. She didn't even dare to breathe, but her hands trembled as she circulated her spiritual energy. In an instant, a vast and surging spiritual energy, like a vortex, rapidly spun around Su Yunyu.
The spiritual energy of the Three Realms is precious and powerful, something ordinary people dream of, yet at this moment it is being continuously supplied into Su Yunyu's body, healing that deep wound.
The depletion of spiritual energy caused the flame patterns between Xiao Shuying's brows to intensify, and his eyes to turn blood red. He felt a stinging pain throughout his meridians, but he was oblivious to it, focusing all his strength on trying to wake Su Yunyu up.
The once vibrant people were now lifeless and decaying, causing Xiao Shuying immense heartache, so much so that his eyes flickered with brokenness. As he channeled his spiritual energy, he softly prayed:
"Master, will it be alright if I wake up..."
If he still has his senses, then he would know that although the wound was inflicted by a Heaven-level spiritual weapon and was extremely serious, with his spiritual energy, it was not beyond saving.
At this moment, Xiao Shuying was completely out of her mind. She felt a chill run through her heart as she thought about all the blood on her wounds. How could Su Yunyu be so heartless as to attack her? What if Su Yunyu didn't wake up after such a deep wound?
Fortunately, this boundless spiritual energy was ultimately blessed by the Heavenly Dao and possessed extraordinary power. Within the vortex of spiritual energy, Su Yunyu's pale face gradually softened and felt warm.
Xiao Shuying finally caught his breath, like a drowning person emerging from the water. He took a deep breath, and because he had been kneeling on the ground for so long, he stumbled again when he stood up. But he simply bent down and pressed his hand to Su Yunyu's now healed chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Thump, thump.
It wasn't particularly powerful, but it was peaceful.
Xiao Shuying seemed to be completely absorbed in the moment. Even when she heard his heartbeat, she didn't get up. Instead, she remained pressed against Su Yunyu's chest, feeling his gradually warming body temperature and his pulsating life.
At this moment, it seemed that there was only this one voice in the world, and only this one person. Everything that was originally gray and white regained its color because of this voice.
When his heartbeat matched Xiao Shuying's own, he stood up, only to feel a coolness slide down his chin. When he raised his hand to touch it, his fingertips were wet with tears. Only then did Xiao Shuying realize that he had actually shed tears.
Her mind had been blank just moments before, and remained numb until now. But seeing that glimmer of water, Xiao Shuying's emotions gradually returned. She leaned over the bedside, reached out and tightly grasped Su Yunyu's thin fingers, her voice choked with emotion.
"Master, why are you doing this to me..."
As dawn broke completely, the night was filled with the chaotic, overlapping beats of the heart, until another day passed and another night began.
Su Yunyu felt as if she had a very long dream, in which her heart felt empty and cold wind blew through her.
But the cold was then stopped by the warmth, so much so that when Su Yunyu woke up, she even felt that she had slept quite well.
He stood up somewhat dazed, then his thoughts began to wander and recall what had happened before.
Then I remembered that he tried to commit suicide with a sword, and he succeeded. So now, wouldn't that mean...?
The thought of successfully restarting her bed filled Su Yunyu with joy. Just as she was about to lift the covers and get out of bed, she found that she couldn't lift her hand.
Looking down, I gasped in shock.
Because Xiao Shuying was tightly holding his wrist, leaning over the bed, looking weak and looking quiet with her eyes closed.
"Holy crap," Su Yunyu exclaimed to 111 in her mind's eye, still not understanding what was going on.
"Did I restart or did I end up in the underworld? Why can I still see Long Aotian even after I committed suicide?"
111 At this point, the voice sounded very tired.
[Hehe, guess if it's the underworld or reality?]
Su Yunyu looked around again, and everything was exactly the same as before. A bad feeling immediately arose in her heart, but she refused to accept reality.
"I guess this is the underworld, and the King of Hell deliberately created an illusion to test me."
111 is already powerless:
[Just fool yourself.]
"..."
After sitting there blankly for a long time, Su Yunyu wondered if she had failed like this.
No, he still has a chance while Long Aotian is still resting!
Su Yunyu had been driven somewhat mad by the blows, and thinking that if one attempt failed, she would try again, so she summoned the Snow Blossom Sword.
Seeing its master unharmed, Xuehua Sword happily spun around, but soon it noticed that its master's expression was one of despair.
Su Yunyu looked at the Xuehua Sword, at this beautiful sword, and felt a pang of guilt. However, the desire to end this life still prevailed. So she silently apologized and was about to grip the scabbard to strike herself again.
This time there was no pain-free buff, but he didn't want to wait any longer. Failing the mission wasn't scary; being imprisoned by Xiao Shuying was!
Just as he raised his sword to strike, he heard a rustling sound beside him.
Su Yunyu subconsciously turned her gaze and met a pair of bloodshot eyes—
