Chapter 1392 "Senior, farewell, take care."
The entire sea of blood was cleaved in two by her sword.
There was a soft 'crack' sound, which then grew louder and louder as blood spilled out and bones littered the ground.
"It's a success, Gu Xia. Your life is saved." Annihilation Sword said excitedly.
Conversely, the man's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Gu Xia ignored it all, only looking slightly stunned as she watched the white light gradually dim amidst the chaos.
The youth exhausted his last remaining will, his figure becoming so transparent that he was almost invisible.
"senior."
Gu Xia knew the other person could disappear at any moment, so she asked, "Was that corpse yours? I'll prepare the best coffin for you after we get out."
"Oh right, you might not know this, but I have a senior classmate who is quite knowledgeable in this area. He can definitely help you pick the best one."
Gu Xia rambled on, not knowing what she was saying. Perhaps it was because the young man's aura was too kind. Even though they had only spent a short time together, seeing him about to perish still filled her with a sense of melancholy.
Her words completely ruined the otherwise somber atmosphere, and the young man slowly took a breath, almost laughing.
Her senior brother? Isn't he also a direct disciple?
What kind of close relative would know so much about coffins?
He assumed Gu Xia was just trying to comfort him, so he explained, "That's not it. It's just a corpse I randomly found after I was completely corrupted by the evil energy to hold this last wisp of my soul."
As for his body, it had long since completely decomposed due to persistent corrosion.
Not even a trace of remains remained.
Gu Xia blinked slightly, inexplicably finding a hint of amusement in his words.
No wonder.
She said that the skeleton looked like a standard muscular man, which obviously didn't match the other person's temperament.
I never expected that my senior would be so domineering back then.
In the end, Gu Xia pursed her lips but still couldn't manage a smile.
"Alright, don't be sad. Separation is the norm in the cultivation world, and your path is still ahead. Don't grieve for me."
The young man's voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally he blinked, mimicking her.
"I am already very happy to have met you."
"Let's go..."
The last glimmer of white light faded completely, and the transparent figure gradually merged into the air, the gentle voice disappearing entirely from the ears.
At the last second, Gu Xia composed herself, her attitude serious and focused, and respectfully bowed in the direction he had left.
"Senior, take care on your journey."
May your soul return, but this will endure forever.
Even knowing that this parting would be the last time they would meet.
The sound of space being broken continued, and the scattering of light hit Gu Xia's eyes, followed by the bright light from the outside shining in inch by inch.
The girl drew her sword and stepped forward, her back straight as green bamboo.
The spiritual energy within his dantian converged into a surging river, breaking through the final bottleneck in one go, and his aura also rose steadily.
He transformed into a streak of light and sped away.
*
The man, who was confident of victory at the time, never expected that things would take such a turn. His gaze was so intense that he only managed to see the young man on the verge of disappearing at the last moment.
Those were among the first batch of cultivators he captured.
Just then, the other party failed to transcend the tribulation, and his cultivation level plummeted due to the lightning tribulation. He was able to capture the aura of the other party and bring him back along with him.
Of all the cultivators he used to refine spiritual artifacts, the other party had the highest cultivation level. Although he was only an artifact cultivator, his realm was already at the Void Refining stage before he failed his tribulation.
The sea of consciousness of artifact cultivators is generally difficult to deal with. It took him hundreds of years to completely refine the person, leaving not even half a bone behind, and the soul was completely integrated with his natal artifact.
I thought this person had long since perished, but I never expected that a trace of his spirit would remain.
Given that the other party was trained in weapon crafting, it was not surprising that he could see through the flaws in his spiritual weapon.
"Truly remarkable."
He gritted his teeth in hatred, uttering three "good"s in a row, his face ashen. "You've been hiding for so long, yet you dare to ruin my big plans at this moment."
Not only did he guide Gu Xia on how to find her weak points, but he even went so far as to use his last bit of strength to help her.
The man was so angry that his face was contorted, and his expression became increasingly crazed.
The lightning tribulation rolling in mid-air looked increasingly terrifying. The heavenly lightning, which had been brewing for a while, was about to strike. Ye Suian was nervously waiting to be struck, but when he caught a glimpse of this, he was startled by his appearance.
what's wrong?
He was perfectly fine just a moment ago. How come he looks like he's gone completely freakish in just a short while?
Clearly, the man was quite angry.
The Ye family elders below were so shocked that they coughed up blood, but they still tried their best to stand in front of their disciples, watching cautiously as they wondered what crazy thing he was doing next.
"Since that's the case, then you can all die!"
Unbridled demonic energy swept out, and the man's cold voice was amplified, reaching everyone's ears.
He initially felt that personally dealing with these ants would be giving them too much credit, but now he couldn't care less. The moment he felt his natal artifact being shattered, his rationality completely collapsed.
There's only one thought in my mind right now—
They should all die!
Gu Xia wanted to save people, didn't she?
So he simply took action, ensuring that the first thing she saw when she came out was the entire Ye family compound littered with corpses.
This will also let Gu Xia know what happens when you go against him.
The aura of a Mahayana-stage demonic cultivator enveloped the entire battlefield. Demonic energy surged wildly from his body as he casually raised his hand and unleashed dozens of crescent-shaped arcs, which fell towards the location where the Ye family cultivators were gathered.
Just as the Ye family head and the others were trying to stop them, they were shocked to find that, at some point, the demonic energy around them had solidified into a tangible form. Thousands upon thousands of blades were formed from the demonic energy, their sharp, cold light flashing, and their tips locked onto everyone below.
"Damn! What's wrong with him now?"
Ye Sui'an felt a chill run down his spine and almost suffered from trypophobia. Under such indiscriminate attacks, the barrier erected by the defensive talisman could not be maintained for long.
Moreover, their sudden outburst was completely unexpected.
Jiang Chaoxu's expression was solemn, but his understanding of the problem was deeper. "He's not acting crazy, but rather he seems to have been stimulated by something."
But looking at everyone present, who could possibly provoke him?
Could it be a lightning tribulation overhead?
The specifics are unknown, but his doubts have not subsided.
Before they could think it through, dozens of crescent-shaped arcs crashed into the defensive barrier in front of them, followed by thousands upon thousands of demonic blades.
The Ye family head's face was deathly pale, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
A cultivator can only use a maximum of three drops of their heart's essence blood within a month, otherwise there is a risk of their Dao foundation being shattered.
Before this, one drop was used to save Ye Suian, and the other two drops were used to block the man's attack not long ago.
With such a large-scale massacre underway, his spiritual energy was surging wildly within him, yet he could only watch helplessly as the attacks drew ever closer.
"Do not--"
