Chapter 179 The poisonous stinger has penetrated Yun Ling’s chest.
"Lowly?" Sheng Ran shuddered, looking up in disbelief at Sheng Jieyue's delicate yet cold face. "He's my beastly husband! He became like this just to save me! How can you treat human life so lightly?!"
"Human life?" Sheng Jieyue sneered, and the black energy in her palm surged again, wrapping around the tree trunk next to her, causing it to wither and turn black in an instant.
"In my eyes, human lives are always divided into different levels."
Sheng Ran was so angry that her teeth were chattering: "Then why do you think that your life is superior to others?"
Sheng Jieyue's eyes swept over fiercely, "Situ Yu and I are the protagonists of this world. Everything should revolve around us!"
Sheng Ran keenly captured the information of "protagonist", and thinking of the halo she had always talked about before, she realized that the identities of Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu must be extraordinary.
She tried to calm down from her anger and asked the system, [Who are they, the Creators?]
The sound of keyboard clacking rang in my mind, and the system was simultaneously retrieving more information.
[No, we exist in the Quick Travel world. They were originally the male and female protagonists appointed by the Quick Travel Bureau to maintain the stable operation of each world.]
After going through so much, Sheng Ran already had some guesses, and after hearing the system's explanation, she felt little moved.
She was more concerned about the system's wording, [You said... originally? ]
The system did not answer, but it was tantamount to a tacit agreement.
Sheng Ran snorted. The two of them relied on the so-called protagonist halo to bully others in various worlds. Of course, they would suffer retribution and backlash.
If she was really an insignificant cannon fodder, how could she have the chance to be reborn?
It seems that the world of fast travel is not as ruthless and rigid as she imagined, and there is still hope.
Sheng Ran clenched her fists and met Sheng Jieyue's gaze with a stubborn look.
Sheng Jieyue was enraged by her reaction. She didn't expect that Sheng Ran would dare to look at her like this when he was about to die.
"Do you think you've become a big shot just because those poor guys in the west of the city respect you? If we hadn't been soft-hearted, you would have died on the road to exile half a year ago."
"Even if we can't kill you today, you'll die in our hands sooner or later, for a reason we can't find any fault with."
"——And today, this black bird must die, to set an example for all those slaves who dare to rebel against their superiors!"
Just when Sheng Jieyue's black energy was about to pierce Yun Ling, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly tore through the air!
The thick fog seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, and the figures of the remaining beastmen broke through the mountain pass.
Zhu Jiuyin was running in the front, his tall and thin body was shaking violently, an unstable light golden halo was radiating from his palms, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth.
——He forcibly activated his spatial ability and sucked all the evil spells and poisonous insects in the poison formation into the alien space, thus breaking the impasse.
"Wife!" Ling Rui felt his heart tighten when he saw Sheng Ran covered in blood and Yun Ling dying. He rushed over and wanted to take action, but was held down by Pei Xiaoxing.
Pei Xiaoxing shook his head at him and glanced at the people pouring in.
Many people have also found this place and are about to come here following the unusual movement. The crowd is already in an uproar, and taking action at this moment will only give people a reason to criticize.
Ling Rui could only suppress his anger, gave up his intention to attack, and declared loudly, "Come and see! The Holy Female has practiced evil magic and killed people for no reason. Is there any law and order in Central City?"
More and more people gathered around, and when they saw the messy scene, they were scared and confused.
The people's reactions were instantly divided into two camps.
The merchant from Central City spoke first, still defending Sheng Jieyue: "This must be a misunderstanding! How could the Holy Female kill someone? This orc must have been the first to cause trouble!"
"The Holy Female is gifted with extraordinary talents. How could she possibly need to use sorcery to enhance her abilities? The black energy around her... maybe it's the mist from the sacred mountain!"
However, an old orc immediately retorted, leaning on his crutch and pointing at Yun Ling's wound: "Misunderstanding? Look how badly injured this child is! Miss Sheng saved so many people in the west of the city, and yet the Holy Female is killing people here? This is called a misunderstanding?"
The girl with the ponytail also raised her medicine bag: "Miss Sheng's ability is purification! The black energy on the Saint Female is the evil magic!"
The two groups of people quarreled until their faces turned red, and Sheng Jieyue's face turned pale and blue.
Situ Yu immediately stepped forward, sweeping his tail across the ground as he sternly shouted, "Shut up! This orc has offended the royal family and deserves death! The Holy Female is a divine messenger, how can you question her?"
These words temporarily suppressed the discussion, but the people's eyes were still full of suspicion.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Jieyue immediately put on an aggrieved expression and raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears.
"Everyone, I've really been wronged. This Black Bird is an old slave of the Sheng family. He has always held a grudge against me. Today, he deliberately tried to sow discord between us and even wanted to hurt Sister Sheng Ran... I was only defending myself!"
She deliberately mentioned the "old slaves of the Sheng family" in an attempt to incite people's hearts by using class prejudice.
Sure enough, several nobles from the east of the city immediately echoed: "A slave is a slave. How dare you lay hands on your master? You deserve to be killed!"
At this moment, an old scholar holding an ancient book suddenly walked out of the crowd and spoke in a trembling voice.
"I've read the 'Records of the Beast World' and it says that the power of a divine messenger is pure and absolutely cannot possibly carry a dark aura. It's the evil magic of the Poison Sect that lingers with this sinister aura!"
"Yes! I've heard of it too! Everyone from the Poison Sect has this kind of black energy!" someone immediately agreed.
Sheng Jieyue's face turned completely pale. She stared at the old scholar but couldn't find any words to refute.
In a panic, she suddenly pointed at Sheng Ran, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "It's her! Sheng Ran learned the evil magic!"
She pointed at the remains of the poisonous insect on the ground, and then at Zhu Jiuyin who was covering his heart with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Look! Her beastly husband can use strange space magic and even absorb poisonous insects. He must have learned it from her! She created all this black energy and wants to put the blame on me!"
The people were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Zhu Jiuyin.
Spatial abilities are indeed rare, which inevitably leads to associations.
"Today, in front of everyone, I will teach this misguided person and the lowly beastly husband around her a lesson." Seeing this, Sheng Jieyue curled her lips into a sinister smile.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was hesitating, she suddenly mobilized the black energy in her body, turning it into a sharp poisonous stinger, and stabbed towards Yun Ling's chest with lightning speed!
"No!" Sheng Ran rushed forward to block it, but was hit hard on the back by Situ Yu's wind blade and fell to the ground.
Tu Shanyi and Ling Rui rushed forward at the same time, roaring, but they were still a beat too late.
The black poisonous stinger had penetrated Yun Ling's chest.
With a "puff", blood gushed out, splashing Sheng Ran's clothes red.
Yun Ling's body trembled violently, and his unfocused black eyes turned to Sheng Ran with difficulty. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her face, but his fingertips drooped weakly in mid-air.
