Chapter 79 Chapter 79 The giant python barely gave Li Yian any...
The giant python hardly gave Li Yian any chance to breathe. It raised its huge head, roared forward, opened its bloody mouth, and countless black smoke spewed out from the depths of its throat.
The view in front was blocked by black smoke. It was pitch black and I could hardly see my fingers when I stretched out my hand.
Dozens of giant pythons took this opportunity to bite Li Yian fiercely.
Li Yian felt something was wrong, gripped the huge sword tightly, and instinctively turned around and swung the sword fiercely into the air.
"Bang!" With a resounding bang, terrifying energy erupted from the tip of Li Yian's sword, illuminating the entire dark sky. Dozens of snake heads were destroyed, and the remaining bodies twisted in agony in the air.
Li Yian was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mu Yang. He saw that Mu Yang had a cold expression and was holding a sword technique in his hand.
"Mu, Yang." Li Yian's hands suddenly lost their strength. The heavy sword was pulling her hand and was about to smash it to the ground. She had no choice but to quickly insert the sword into the ground to support her shaky body.
Mu Yang looked down at Li Yian in front of him. Seeing that she looked uncomfortable and her pretty face was flushed red, he was slightly startled and quickly reached out to touch her forehead.
So hot!
Li Yian turned around and said, "I'm fine."
Thick black energy gathered at the severed head of the giant python. A moment later, dozens of pythons regrew their heads, roaring and swishing their tails. Their fury intensified the pythons' attacks, and they bit forward fiercely.
Li Yian was about to charge forward with the huge sword, but Mu Yang pulled him behind him.
Mu Yang's wide sleeves swiftly swept through the air, and countless scattered specks of light instantly condensed into blades of light. These swiftly flew towards the giant python, carving countless cracks in its hard scales. Countless specks of light burst forth from the wounds, and the black snake twisted its body in agony as it screamed.
When half of the black snakes turned into smoke and dust, the remaining black snakes hovered in the air and changed their attack target to Li Yian behind Mu Yang.
Li Yian held her head and tried hard to cheer herself up, but when she looked up, she could no longer see anything and everything in front of her was dark.
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Yian!" Mu Yang's face changed.
The giant snake roared and was about to bite Li Yian. Mu Yang's light knife flew and slashed at the giant snake. Several giant snakes paused in pain in the air, and then pounced down like crazy, as if they would rather die than bite Li Yian to death and swallow him into their stomachs.
Mu Yang stared at the evil beast and shouted angrily, "You dare to hurt her!" He swung his sleeve fiercely, and more light swords burst out, with countless blade tips aimed at the giant snake.
Suddenly, his body shook, his black eyes froze instantly, a violent noise exploded in his mind, the spiritual power around him instantly disappeared, and countless light swords turned into light spots and disappeared.
The giant snakes let out a terrifying roar, and several giant snakes swooped down at high speed, drowning Mu Yang and Li Yian.
"Mu Yang!"
"Li Yian!"
Seeing this, A Quan, the students from the martial arts academy, and the students from the liberal arts academy in the distance turned pale and ran forward one after another.
Li Xuan, having just rescued the students, quickly nocked his bow and launched countless demon-slaying arrows at the giant pythons. Simultaneously, a massive whip of light ripped through the air, sweeping up several severely injured and immobilized pythons pierced by the demon-slaying arrows. The barbs on the whip instantly split the pythons in two.
The explosion created a flash of light and a deafening roar, forcing Aquan and the others to cover their ears. The strong winds from the shockwave blew the dust into the air, where it lingered for a long time.
A Quan and the others hurried over, and only when the smoke and dust gradually cleared did they see a strange young man there.
A young man with an enchanting face, so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female, held the unconscious Li Yian in his arms.
Mu Yang clutched his chest, blood oozing from his lips. He staggered a few steps toward the young man. "Ah Yin, where are you taking Yi An?"
Mu Yin took a few steps back, a scornful smile on his face, "Mu Yang, since you are unable to protect your sister, then I will naturally be the one to protect her."
"Ayin..."
"You have no right to ask where I take it. You are just like me. Your strength is far inferior to mine. If you want to snatch it, you have to ask my whip if it agrees." Mu Yin pointed the long whip in his hand at Mu Yang.
"A Yin, father and mother are looking for you. They must be worried about you."
When Mu Yin heard these hypocritical words, he seemed to be enraged. He swung the whip forward fiercely, and the sharp barbs hit Mu Yang with the sound of breaking wind.
Mu Yang closed his eyes slightly, but did not dodge.
Li Xuan's longsword knocked the whip away, and dazzling sparks flew from the contact. A glowing longbow materialized from thin air in his palm, several demon-slaying arrows already affixed to it. He said coldly, "If you wish to die, I can send you on your way."
Mu Yin turned his gaze to Li Xuan and raised his lips slightly, "It's not certain who died yet." His long whip began to glow slightly and vibrate.
Seeing this tense scene, Ah Quan finally understood what was happening. It turned out that the strange young man was the person the High Priest had specifically asked for, and he was Mu Yang's younger brother.
"We are all family, calm down!" A Quan hurriedly ran to their midst and said with an apologetic smile.
The remaining students hurried forward to mediate. Several girls from the Arts College couldn't help but look at Mu Yin. It was the first time they saw a man whose appearance was as good as Mu Yang's, and who also had a kind of enchanting and charming aura that Mu Yang didn't have. Their pretty faces couldn't help but blush.
Ah Quan said all he could, good or bad, "There must be some misunderstanding. The most important thing is to sit down calmly and have a good talk... Evil is rampant now, and we should work together to eliminate it. If Mu Yin joins us, it will be a blessing for the world..."
"Okay." Mu Yin put away the whip.
"Ah?" A Quan was stunned. He had a lot of words prepared in his mind, but was caught off guard by Mu Yin's faint "OK".
"I'll join you." Mu Yin said.
Mu Yang stared at Mu Yin in a daze, "A Yin..."
Mu Yin hugged Li Yian and turned to leave. Seeing Mu Yang following him, he stopped her coldly, "Don't follow me. I'm taking her back to the Theological Society to find An Si."
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Ah Quan called the remaining people and continued to head towards the mechanical tunnel in the suburbs. "It's getting late. We must find out the secret of the tunnel before dark." Before leaving, he looked back at Mu Yang who was still standing there. He wanted to ask him to join them, but seeing that his face was pale and his expression was not right, he hurriedly said, "Mu Yang, your injuries are not healed yet. You should go back and recuperate."
Mu Yang did not respond, just lowered his head.
A Quan looked confused, but without thinking much, he left with the group.
After Li Xuan sheathed his sword, he looked back at Mu Yang. He saw that Mu Yang, with red eyes, was madly cutting his wrist with a dagger, and blood was dripping from his fingertips.
"Mu Yang!"
Li Xuan quickly knocked the dagger to the ground, and Mu Yang picked up the dagger like a madman, wanting to continue hurting himself.
Li Xuan punched him hard, his handsome face stained with anger, "Stop it!"
Mu Yang's face was knocked sideways by the blow. He stumbled back a few steps, then slowly raised his head. His eyes regained some clarity. He looked down at his bleeding wrist, startled for a moment, "I, I..."
Seeing that he seemed unaware of what he had just done, Li Xuan suddenly thought of something and was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yang's other wrist: shocking, densely packed scars.
Mu Yang used a forbidden technique without telling him and was attacked back!
"You! You idiot!" Li Xuan practically gnashed his teeth, his chest heaving with anger. He rarely got angry, but during the time he'd been protecting Mu Yang, he'd vented all the anger he could in his life.
There is also a forbidden version of healing, which is forbidden because it is too dark. This forbidden technique can directly skip the user's own time and achieve extremely fast physical recovery.
This is equivalent to Mu Yang sacrificing his own life to activate the forbidden technique - Mu Yang killed his previously injured self.
This forbidden technique may also have terrible side effects, causing the user to suffer from terrible inner demons, and eventually, under the temptation of the inner demons, sacrifice all their lifespan until the end of their lives.
"Why did you do this?" Li Xuan's tone grew colder. He was already feeling disillusioned with him.
Mu Yang could hear the hidden tone in Li Xuan's words, and he raised his head in a panic.
Li Xuan's eyes were as cold as ice. "Why do you keep squandering your life when I'm trying so hard to protect you?"
Mu Yang moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.
"Sacrificing your life just to see Li Yian." Li Xuan coldly pointed out Mu Yang's intention. "Ridiculous, ridiculous."
"If I don't take the initiative, I will never be able to see her or get close to her. I also wanted to wait for others to approach me like before, but the person I want to wait for never approaches me." Mu Yang said anxiously, his eyes red.
"When you recover from your injury, you can also take the initiative to find her."
"How long will that take? My bones are shattered, my internal organs are damaged, and I have no spiritual power. How long will this powerless state last? Half a year? A year? Or how long? The High Priest is powerless to heal me, and I have no spiritual power left, so I can't heal myself." Mu Yang retorted excitedly, "I've always lived for others, always wanting to take care of everyone, and I have to consider a lot before doing anything. I've never lived my own life. I just... want to make decisions for my own heart for once."
"Okay, very good." Seeing him arguing like this and showing no remorse, Li Xuan's last glimmer of hope for him vanished completely. "I'll tell An Si that I won't protect you anymore."
"I... don't need your protection either."
"Very good." Li Xuan glanced coldly at Mu Yang who lowered his head, then turned and left.
Mu Yang clenched his fists tightly, and a violent noise exploded in his mind again, giving him a splitting headache.
He picked up the giant sword that Li Yian had dropped on the ground, and was slightly distracted.
Even though she had a fever and could hardly stand, facing the dense swarms of giant pythons, she still chose to protect him behind her and wanted to fight alone.
He raised his head and looked at Li Xuan's receding back, the expression on his face becoming more determined.
He doesn't need anyone's protection.
He will always hate himself for living a miserable life hiding behind others.
From now on, if he unfortunately dies, he will die to protect the people he loves.
