Sorry (Penultimate Chapter)
"We will protect you and escape together." Chi Chengming hugged Leng Can, "Long time no see, I'm sorry..."
"What's there to be sorry about?" Leng Canxu hugged him, "You came to save us, we should be grateful."
"Don't be sentimental." Yin Yi looked worried. "Our sword spirits have all been dispatched by the elders. Let's go out first and look for Amo together. Then we can think of another solution."
Leng Can nodded, went to the corner, put Miaoya and the black cat in a bag and put it on his back, "I'll leave you here. If you're scared, come with me."
"Wait a moment." The old man Qingyi interrupted their preparations and looked at Leng Can, "What was the situation in the human world when you came?"
"They are all zombies." Leng Can said, "When I flew into the air, many places had already fallen."
"The three of us will go find Cong Mo." The old man glanced at them and said calmly, "The three of you go to the palace right now to protect the emperor. Since the human world is full of zombies, his majesty is likely trapped."
The three of them hesitated and agreed, "Okay."
Leng Can grabbed Yin Yi and stuffed a talisman into his hand. "This is a talisman that can purify evil spirits. You should know how to use it. Also, if we ever see the woman we rescued again, have her return the spiritual power from my brother. Not a single drop less."
“Yeah.” Yoongi clenched the talisman, “Let’s go!”
The stone gate opened again, and the three of them led the way out. The old man Qing Yi and Leng Can took off on their swords, fireworks flew beside them, and they split into two groups.
Before he could get far, he was stopped by Yi Chong.
"Where do you want to go?" The Sect Master and the Demon Lord, wounded, pointed their swords at them. "Did you think we didn't notice you?"
The Demon Lord said, "No matter what, you guys are the ones who took action."
The clan leader looked at the old man Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, I will not let you escape again today."
Leng Can and Yan Huo stood in front of the old man Qing Yi, "Master, go find Xiao Mo, I will deal with them."
"Leng Can, you..."
"No matter how bad I am, I am still better than you who are seriously injured now. Besides, there are fireworks. We can't all die here." Leng Can grabbed his arm tightly, "Master, please, let Xiaomo live."
The old man clenched his fists and stepped back, "Okay, you lead the way."
After saying that, Leng Can and Yanhuo rushed forward first, seizing the opportunity to attack. The old man Qingyi took advantage of their fight and flew away from the side.
But how could Leng Can and the injured Yanhuo be their opponents? The clan leader slashed Leng Can's thigh with a sword, forcing him to stand. Black Cat and Miaoya jumped out and scratched their faces. The clan leader shook them off, "Come on! Go chase him, we can't let him get away."
The pursuers soon came up behind the old man Qing Yi. His spiritual power was almost exhausted in the battle with the elders just now, and the basic sword control had caused more injuries to his body. Seeing that his arm was about to be caught, the old man Qing Yi tapped his brow with his finger, drawing out the remaining scarce spiritual power and injecting it into the sword to speed up. Now this level was beyond what his body could bear. He gradually felt dizzy, and his limbs were sore and weak. He only relied on his willpower to not fall down.
If they get entangled with each other for a while, no one will benefit.
At this time, Yin Yi and the other two had already landed at the palace and fought their way out for the emperor and the generals. However, when they reached the door, countless zombies poured in. There were too many of them, and they were getting faster and faster. They kept rushing towards them, and no matter how they fought, they could not kill them all. The zombies in front of them only knew how to attack, and there was a great chance of them returning to normal as long as they were controlled. They were hiding at the beginning and couldn't bring themselves to kill, but later they had to kill to protect themselves, the emperor and the generals. Their physical strength was constantly depleted, and their spiritual power slowly became empty. Ji Shufeng accidentally injured his arm, and it was difficult for him to lift the sword. Chi Chengming was furious, and pushed Ji Shufeng and Yin Yi into the house, and lured the zombies away alone to give them a buffer opportunity.
The two of them had not yet completed their mission. This was not a safe place. They didn't even have time to grieve before the door was knocked open by the zombies. Ji Shufeng and Yin Yi chopped off the zombies and didn't care about Chi Chengming. They flew out of the palace wall with the emperor and the injured general. The zombies were tireless and ran towards them at a rapid speed.
"This is not a solution. We can't fly in the sky forever." Yin Yi and the general behind him met eyes, and they both understood each other's thoughts in their eyes.
"Shufeng."
"My wife."
The two of them smiled and said, "We must stay alive!"
Then, he flew down and plunged into the zombies.
The emperor's eyes widened, "Husband!"
"Your Majesty." Ji Shufeng stopped her, "We can't go. My right arm is injured, and I may not be able to protect you. You must live until everything is over. The human world cannot leave you."
The emperor kept breathing, "We... must survive."
The two could only hover in the air, trying to find a safe place.
From then on, the three of them were forced to separate, not knowing whether they knew each other.
The situation at Leng's mother's place was not optimistic either. The door had been broken down early on. They were all fellow villagers, so Leng's mother didn't dare to really hurt them. They could only keep retreating and looking for a place to survive. The two younger brothers were frightened, but they mustered up their courage, didn't cry or make a fuss, and fought hard to drive back the zombies. Mu Xue stood in the front, using her spiritual power to erect a protective shield to cover them. The zombies kept slapping and attacking, and her spiritual power was quickly drained and was about to dissipate.
For a time, wars were raging everywhere. The demon world was invading, the immortal mountains were resisting, the human world was in turmoil, and people were killing each other. The demonic energy, spiritual power, and resentment were stimulated to a certain threshold, swirling into the sky, covering the ground, and condensing into darkness.
At this moment, on the mountain peak, Cong Mo's breathing was shaking, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyeballs and pupils had faded in color, showing a light gray, her skin was as pale as lime, and her black hair lost its color at a speed visible to the naked eye. She seemed to have turned into a stone statue, lifeless. The spiritual power in her body had been completely drained and attached to the talisman.
He raised his head, looked at the mixed demonic energy and spiritual power in the sky and the resentment surrounding them, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's time."
Her fingers moved up and down, and the talisman flashed with her movements. Cong Mo raised her arm and gently touched the talisman in front of her with her fingers. "Release."
The talisman instantly burst out with powerful energy, surrounding her, and a golden light floated in the range she had just reached.
Cong Mo covered her chest and vomited blood, which sprayed onto the ground. She leaned on her sword, slowly stood up, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Amo, we should end this."
The sword that was about to pierce Leng Can's neck stopped, and the disciples who were holding down the old man Qingyi let go. Yanhuo saved the remaining arm. For a moment, time seemed to stop. After a few seconds of pause, they soon fainted again.
Leng Can picked up Black Cat and Miao Ya, and went with Yan Huo to help the old man. "Master, what's going on?"
The old man leaned against the fireworks and barely stood up. "I'm afraid Cong Mo has done something. Let's go to the Demon Realm first."
"good."
As for the zombies in the human world, their attacks suddenly stopped, the lines on their faces quickly faded, and a large number of them fainted on the ground. Chi Chengming crawled out from the tide of zombies and saved his remaining leg. Yin Yi helped the general up, and the bite wound did not change at all. Ji Shufeng took the emperor and was afraid to land. Mu Xue carefully took Leng's mother and her family, dodging the fallen zombies, and got into the house. They quickly blocked the door and did not dare to act rashly. The world seemed to be quiet in an instant, but it made people lose the courage to act.
"You're here."
Ah Mo turned around and saw Cong Mo's figure in the distance, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The demonic energy in the forest has been exhausted, and she is waiting for Cong Mo's arrival on top of the magic circle.
Cong Mo looked at her, his voice hoarse, "I sacrificed myself and broke the magic circle. Everyone will be fine."
Looking at her withered face and the difficulty she had in standing up, Ah Mo felt that her love was too great. "To sacrifice so much for these people, is it worth it?"
"Not only them, but you as well."
"Amo, you still have a chance." Cong Mo looked at her and pointed at himself. "My spiritual energy has been depleted and my body is useless. Haven't you always longed for a complete body? You can use my body now and become an ordinary person. Go to the human world and live an ordinary life until you die."
Ah Mo's expression was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Why?" Cong Mo didn't understand what she meant. "Now, you can come and take my body. I won't resist. You still have a chance to live and be yourself."
"Haha...chance? I don't have a chance...hahaha..." Ah Mo laughed, tears streaming down his eyes, "I don't have a chance. Why? I don't understand. Why, at this moment, you only thought about me being able to survive? Why? Why is it you who missed me in the end..."
"I hate you, I hate you!" she yelled. "I hate the world for treating me unfairly, I hate my parents for abandoning me, I hate that our fates are different, I hate that someone loves you. But all I hate is... There's no one in this world who cares about me, who treats me sincerely. I even think my existence is wrong. But in the end, I'm the only one who's willing to take me seriously."
"So you have to survive." Cong Mo shouted, "Amo, you can survive."
"I don't want it, I don't want it." Ah Mo shook his head vigorously and kept backing away. "I want this world to accompany me and you to die together! I want..."
The words were cut off as a warm body embraced her. A talisman was stuck on her back, preventing her from moving. A warm voice came into her ears, "Let's atone together. I'll be with you."
"Fireworks!"
The flame that was holding the old man shook and instantly turned into a wisp of smoke, flying out quickly.
"Not good." The old man leaned over, "It's Cong Mo calling him, Leng Can, go quickly, it's Cong Mo calling for Yan Huo..."
Leng Can's heart skipped a beat and he immediately flew towards the demon world on his sword.
Xiaomo, please don't get into trouble, I beg you, Xiaomo...
The sword behind him melted into the flames, and the sword spirit and the sword merged into one.
Ah Mo stared straight into her eyes, "My whole life... seems to have been spent seeking your approval."
Cong Mo brushed the hair away from Ah Mo's eyes and said, "I hope that in the next life, you and I will no longer be the same person."
"Xiao Mo!"
The moment the sword pierced her body, Cong Mo seemed to hear Leng Can calling her in a trance.
Ah Mo's body turned into smoke and dust, and he stroked her face and turned away, "Xiao Can must be so sad to see this scene..."
Cong Mo's vision was restricted and she could only squint to see clearly. In the distance, it seemed that Leng Can was indeed coming to find her, but her hearing and vision were damaged, so everything was blurry to her.
She couldn't say goodbye to him for the time being...
Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. All that could be seen was that she was saying, "I'm sorry."
