Chapter 44: Awakening: A Glimmer of Light in the Wilderness
Here comes another one!
Is he an accomplice of the Ghost Mother? Or is he even more terrifying?
She no longer had the strength to stand up, and the spiritual energy in her dantian had dried up like cracked earth.
How to play?
No...can't fight.
Then... I will self-destruct my golden elixir to hold him back!
Just when the most determined thought flashed through Zheng Qiuyu's mind, the streak of light suddenly stopped ten feet in front of her.
The brilliant and domineering sword light slowly dissipated, like the receding tide, revealing the figure inside.
Baili Fusu.
He was still dressed in spotless white, looking handsome. But at this moment, the face of this man, hailed as a rare talent in the righteous path, was filled with unprecedented solemnity and shock.
He had obviously sensed the earth-shaking energy fluctuations in this place, as well as the terrifying signs that the laws had been completely erased. He was worried, so he left the sect's main force and came here to investigate alone.
When he truly saw the current situation of the entire [Hundred Ghosts Crying] Canyon, the number one prodigy of the Qingyun Sect, who had been through a lot, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his heart was trembling!
His pupils suddenly contracted.
"This... this is going to blow up the entire canyon?! Holy crap, it's a monster!"
"Legend has it that only the God of Creation possesses the power of 'Divine Silence', the power of both destruction and creation! He... is actually this terrifying!"
His eyes swept across the empty ruins that had been "bombed out" and finally stopped at Zheng Qiuyu, who was covered in blood and in such a miserable state that he could hardly be seen as a human being, standing behind the rock.
And the man on her back who was sleeping soundly, as if isolated from the whole world.
When Baili Fusu's gaze fell on Zhuo Huo, it was filled with extreme fear. But beneath this fear, there was also a hint of confusion. There was even a trace of envy, one he himself hadn't even noticed, yet it was incredibly intense... envy.
He couldn't understand.
Why would a terrifying existence that could unleash such unreasonable power as "Divine Silence" be carried so quietly and defenselessly on the back of a human woman who looked like she would turn into a handful of ashes at any moment?
He was Baili Fusu, a child of destiny, the hope of his clan, burdened with countless honors and responsibilities, and he treaded on thin ice with every step, fearing any misstep. But the man before him seemed to possess the strongest shield in the world, a man he could unscrupulously entrust everything to.
That kind of trust, that kind of bond... was something he had never had, and couldn't even imagine.
Baili Fusu did not ask about the details of the battle. He knew that every breath was extremely precious now.
He flipped his wrist, and a warm jade bottle appeared in his palm. Without hesitation, he poured out a pill.
As soon as the elixir appeared, nine-colored rays of light appeared out of thin air in the dead and empty air around it. A rich elixir fragrance that could make dry bones grow flesh domineeringly dispelled the breath of death in the place, as if declaring the sovereignty of life!
"Take it quickly!"
His voice was low and decisive, leaving no room for rejection.
"The energy traces here are too strong. The Ghost Mother's accomplices, or even something more troublesome, may follow the trail and arrive at any time!"
Zheng Qiuyu's gaze moved from his face to the pill, his eyes full of vigilance.
Nine-turn Jade Dew Pill.
A priceless, top-tier healing elixir capable of leaving even Nascent Soul monsters bloodied and battered. Why... did he give it to me? Was he trying to bribe me? Or was he trying to control the Burning Fire?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but the collapse signals from her body made her realize that she had no choice.
She didn't say anything polite, nor did she thank him. She simply stretched out her hand, which was stained with blood and dirt and was even trembling slightly, and snatched the pill away, throwing it directly into her mouth without even looking at it.
She knew that no matter what the other party's purpose was, she had to survive now!
She had saved the entire Qingyun Sect from a catastrophic disaster that could have wiped out the entire sect. She could afford this pill!
The moment the pill entered her mouth, she felt not the warm feeling she had imagined, but an extreme coldness that seemed to freeze her soul! But the next moment, the coldness exploded, transforming into a powerful and warm current of life that could not be described in words!
“Hmm!”
Zheng Qiuyu groaned, feeling a surge of magma rushing into her dried-up meridians! Broken bones were forcibly connected with a crackling sound, and torn muscles squirmed and regenerated frantically under the powerful drug! It felt like billions of ants gnawing at every inch of her flesh, itching and numb, the pain reaching its extreme, yet also carrying the ecstasy of a new life!
A faint tinge of color finally returned to her pale face. The willpower that had been clinging to her life, bolstered by the drug, finally gave way a little. A wave of exhaustion and sorrow washed over her, and her eyes welled up, nearly bringing tears to her eyes.
Seeing that she had stabilized somewhat, Baili Fusu spoke again, his tone tinged with admiration: "I have a specially designed 'Star Hidden Boat' that can isolate auras to the greatest extent possible, preventing us from being tracked."
"I'll give you a ride."
…
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, in a twisted shadow.
Venerable Shadow Bone was looking at a "mirror" made of black energy with great interest. The image in the mirror was the final image left by the ghost mother's remaining soul when she fled.
He saw a canyon that looked like a wasteland of divine punishment.
I saw the appearance of the righteous genius Baili Fusu.
He also saw the evil god who was being protected by Zheng Qiuyu.
"Hehehe..." Venerable Shadow Bone let out a dry and unpleasant laugh, as if sandpaper was rubbing against his bones.
To get close and fight hard? That's suicide.
He slowly pulled out a pitch-black bone needle from his bosom. The needle was only three inches long, but it was densely entangled with countless black resentful energy as thin as hair, as if billions of resentful souls were wailing within it.
Just as Zheng Qiuyu, supported by Baili Fusu, boarded the Xingyin Boat and felt the powerful magic circle that blocked all prying eyes, the string in his heart that was stretched to the extreme finally relaxed a little bit -
Venerable Shadow Bone moved.
"Fool, you always think the strongest defense is a fortress..."
He raised the sinister bone needle, aimed it at his own forehead, and without any hesitation, stabbed it in fiercely!
“But they don’t know that the most fragile thing is always the human heart!”
Using one's own soul as a guide and billions of resentments as a sacrifice!
"Inner Demon Curse Kill!"
"We've found... the evil god's 'weak spot'."
"Let you die in your deepest fear!"
The Xingyin Boat's formation buzzed and started up, like an invisible yet gentle hand, completely isolating the outside world from the ruins where the laws had collapsed and the dead silence was desolate.
The unprecedented sense of security finally gave Zheng Qiuyu, whose nerves had been stretched to the extreme, a chance to breathe.
She practically collapsed on the soft couch inside the boat. The medicinal power of the Nine-Transformation Jade Dew Pill was like a savage beast, rampaging through her depleted meridians, bringing with it the excruciating pain of brutal repair. But she couldn't care less.
She turned her head, her eyes fixed on the figure beside her who was motionless and breathing so weakly that it seemed like he would disappear at any moment.
Silence fermented in the small cabin.
