My heart lingers beneath the lonely deer
An Ziyi's voice was like a firework exploding in her ear. Baozhu trembled all over and turned around sharply, but it was too late.
Ling Qian Shuang broke through the fighting crowd at some point, seemingly convinced that Bao Zhu was the temporary leader of the Heavenly Female Sea, and charged swiftly towards her with a pair of curved blades in hand!
The gyrfalcon swooped down at an incredibly fast speed, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air before arriving in front of the pearl in an instant.
No......
An Ziyi kicked the person in front of him away. The frequency of his footsteps resonated with his heartbeat at this moment. He immediately wanted to rush to Baozhu's side, but his speed was no match for Hai Dongqing. He was still a step too slow.
The moment the curved blade pierced her abdomen, Baozhu used all her strength, but she could only barely dodge by a fraction of a second, and was completely unable to avoid Ling Qianshuang's attack!
"Ugh!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and the flesh in her chest and abdomen rolled up as if sliced by a knife. Baozhu's whole body stiffened, and she fell backward.
"A precious pearl!"
An Ziyi transformed into a long silver dragon and caught the blood-covered girl. It swept its long tail, but Ling Qianshuang easily dodged it.
"Baozhu, are you alright?!"
Her chest and abdomen were ripped open. Baozhu struggled to apply pressure to several acupoints, barely managing to stop the bleeding. She winced deeply in pain, leaning against An Ziyi, who had returned to human form, and managed to say, "I...I'm alright. An...An Ziyi, go ahead and keep watch, don't let that...that gyrfalcon hurt anyone else..."
"What kind of time is this to be thinking about these things!"
An Ziyi cupped a ball of soft white light in her palm and placed it over her wound, staring at her with wide eyes, "You call this nothing!"
But she really can't die...
Although she didn't have time to dodge, she activated the sea serpent's venom within her body. This venom can heal wounds, but the healing process is extremely slow, and she is no longer able to fight.
“An Ziyi…” Baozhu wanted to laugh at the worst possible time, and actually did laugh. “The way you look now… is so different from your usual cold, icy face…”
An Ziyi gave her a gloomy look, but she wasn't afraid.
Because it contains long-lost heartache and concern.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more," she hissed as she inhaled.
The magical power in An Ziyi's palm flowed into his body continuously, greatly relieving the pain. In just a minute or two, Baozhu waved her hand repeatedly, saying that she didn't need it anymore and sent him to the front line.
"Go and help the Sen tribe!" She was pale, but she managed a weak smile. "I'll be fine on my own."
After her repeated urging, An Ziyi finally rejoined the group. Baozhu leaned against a nearby rock, clutching her wound and gazing at the sky.
The torrential rain, mixed with the blood of the gods and the shattered organs, fell down. She stared blankly for a moment before turning her gaze to the battlefield ahead.
The azure sea was stained with blood. Was it a similarly inhumane scene when the dragon race was slaughtered a thousand years ago?
My God... please come back soon.
Sixty-nine, seventy...
Shen Qiexing moved up almost bit by bit.
He was in no better shape than Lu Yixin at this moment, his arms and legs were mangled and bloody, and he was crawling forward with Lu Yixin in his arms, driven only by a stubborn will.
I've lost consciousness...
Once the intense pain subsided, his body became completely numb, and he couldn't even feel his own existence.
Is he really still on the Divine Rank of Thunder and Rainbow?
Is he really still alive?
Whenever these fleeting thoughts arose in his mind, just one more glance at the girl in his arms made his feet feel grounded, giving him a comforting sense of security.
He has never been afraid of pain.
“We’re almost there, Xin Xin,” he could even smile and say a complete sentence, “I won’t let you die, Xin Xin.”
“Although I haven’t been able to keep my promises to you many times,” he buried his head in the girl’s neck, “this time, you have to believe me.”
A lifeless, cold neck. When they left, there were some dark red bloodstains on the bluish-black skin.
He touched the girl's stiff cheek with his broken, shattered fingertips, the fingertips tracing the scabbed wounds. He held her tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his body and become one with her.
"Langruo!"
Shi Xu pulled Lang Ruo back to avoid the eagle's attack.
"Thanks," Langruo said casually, "There are too many Phoenix Clan raptors. The air is their home ground, so it's hard for us to gain an advantage."
"Gyrfalcons, harpy eagles, and golden eagles are the most difficult to fight; you can get hurt if you're not careful."
Langruo's body was covered with numerous dense wounds, and one or two were so deep that the bone was visible. She hadn't understood why the Sen Clan was considered the most powerful clan before, but now that she had fought against the Phoenix Clan, she realized what the difference between heaven and earth truly meant.
These young girls in front of her were much younger than her in terms of seniority, and their faces still showed signs of immaturity, but their strength far surpassed that of Langruo, making it very difficult for her to fight them.
Especially the girl in black who was following the Phoenix Maiden, whose strength was unfathomable.
What happened to the Phoenix Clan that they only sent out this group of little girls to fight? Could it be that they look down on the Forest Clan?
“Shi Xu, you have to be careful of her,” Lang Ruo narrowed her eyes and pointed in Ling Qian Shuang’s direction. “We can’t beat her, so we should avoid her if we can. If we really can’t avoid her, we should use a strategy of using minimal force to overcome great force, and not confront her head-on.”
"Okay." Shi Xu nodded.
Ling Qian Shuang lowered her eyelashes and glanced almost imperceptibly at the ground.
The two Sen people were watching her.
She glanced up at the Phoenix Maiden and saw that she was still confronting the Forest King, but there was no murderous intent on her face. She understood and decided not to cause trouble for the two of them.
Compared to leopards and lions, the silver dragon in front of us is more interesting.
"You want to avenge her?" She raised an eyebrow, holding her curved sword horizontally in front of her chest. "Beat me first!"
Speed is the gyrfalcon's advantage, but its scales are hard and it is particularly good at defending. After several rounds, An Ziyi was not injured at all.
"The Phoenix Clan seeks revenge for every wrong done to them. They've already killed the Dragon Clan, so why make things difficult for us weaker clans?" An Ziyi said coldly, her face expressionless.
“Because this is the will of the Divine Lord, I will never disobey him,” Ling Qian Shuang smiled at him, revealing a tiger tooth, “Prepare your life!”
Her speed was so fast that An Ziyi could not predict her direction at all. Before long, he fell off the scales, and small bloodstains appeared on his body.
In contrast, Ling Qian Shuang showed no other changes except for a slight increase in the intensity of her breathing.
An Ziyi glanced at Yun Xinglan, who was staring blankly at the sky. Fortunately, this Phoenix Clan member did not join the Phoenix Maiden's side, otherwise they would have been in an even more passive position.
Earlier, when the Phoenix Clan member was talking to the Phoenix Maiden, he had intentionally observed the expressions of the people around him. The gyrfalcon bowed slightly, showing him great respect. His strength was probably several times greater than that of the gyrfalcon.
"An Ziyi!"
Baozhu looked at her with concern, and with a slight shout, her white dress turned even redder.
What can we do? This can't go on forever!
The Phoenix Clan is coming on strong, and the Forest Clan is on the verge of collapse. Meanwhile, everyone in the Heavenly Sea is exhausted and can hardly continue to fight against the Phoenix Clan.
But there was nothing she could do; she could only worry helplessly.
"King Sen, if you dare to obstruct me again, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
The Phoenix Maiden approached the Forest King impatiently, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "I can destroy the Dragon Clan, do you think I would be afraid of a mere Forest Clan?"
"You dare not, Phoenix Maiden."
The Forest King calmly met her gaze. "We have made a vow of spiritual power, that allies cannot kill each other, otherwise it will backfire on us. Divine Lord, have you had enough of living?"
Enraged by him, Phoenix Maiden raised her hand to grab his neck, but before White Sandalwood could stop her, a bright light suddenly burst out from the air!
Even the Phoenix Maiden subconsciously closed her eyes.
The light emanating from the very top of the Divine Rank of Tingni was coming from Lu Yixin, proving that Shen Qiexing had completed all eighty-one steps of the Divine Rank, and that time was reversing on the body of the deceased girl.
The stars and moon sink into the sea, while the blue waves hang in the sky.
The heartbeat made its first dull thud, blood was supplied to every part of the body, the wound healed at a visible speed, the bluish-gray color began to fade, and a healthy pink color settled on the face.
Shen Qiexing's consciousness was almost fading away, but he still held on, congealing blood into a blade, and pierced his own heart. The blood from his heart, glowing with a faint golden light, flowed down the blade and gathered in his palm, forming a pool before being fed into Lu Yixin's mouth.
"Xin Xin... is home."
He gave a bitter smile, kissed her lips, but only lightly touched them before collapsing beside her, awaiting death.
From that moment on, he lost all his cultivation and became no different from an ordinary person.
Suddenly, the Thunderous Divine Rank erupted with a deafening roar, and towering waves surged as if they wanted to swallow the heavens whole.
With a flash of cold light, the staircase that had been lying in the air suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed at all.
The god only had time to grab the girl in his arms and cushion her fall as he crashed heavily onto the sea.
—
The seawater was bone-chillingly cold.
Lu Yixin felt as if she were immersed in the deepest part of the ocean, with constant ups and downs that never stopped.
But a voice kept echoing in her ears, calling her name.
That voice sounds so familiar...
But she couldn't remember who was calling her...
grandfather?
Zhao Zhao?
Sandalwood Lady?
No, neither.
There was a name she had once hidden deep in her heart, but now she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked.
"and......"
As consciousness gradually returned, Lu Yixin opened her eyelashes, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, wanting to call out that name:
Brother Qiexing!
But a mouthful of icy seawater suddenly poured into her mouth, and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the mangled, bloodied figure before her.
The seawater washed away the bloodstains on his body, revealing the delicate and beautiful face hidden beneath them.
Those eyes, as vast as the ocean, were filled with tenderness. Before Lu Yixin could even understand what was happening, she choked on a mouthful of seawater and almost couldn't breathe!
It's Brother Qiexing...
God walked up to her, held the back of her head, and gently kissed her, breathing on her.
Lu Yixin stared at him without blinking, clear tears welling up in her little deer eyes, melting into the seawater and disappearing without a trace.
She died inside the paulownia tree, so why did she come back to life? Why is Brother Qiexing so badly injured? Why is there no trace of his spiritual power left...?
Too many questions clamored in her mind, but she couldn't care less about them. She simply wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the bloody kiss.
