I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

"Ughh ...

The moment the first bolt of purple lightning struck, Dao Yi let out a mournful howl that was inhuman.

His body was instantly charred black, and even more terrifying was the feeling that his soul was being torn apart. The pain that went straight to his very core almost caused him to lose his reason as well.

He quickly activated his True Immortal Protective Power, and with his full strength, he should be fine.

Almost at the same moment Dao Yi was struck, another, slightly thinner bolt of purple lightning struck Ning Qian, who had also just used the power of law.

"Ugh...!"

Ning Qian trembled violently as her frail body was engulfed by purple lightning.

She bit her lower lip hard, the taste of blood instantly filling her mouth, forcing her to swallow back the painful cry that was about to escape her throat.

Dao Yi continued to unleash his spiritual power, relentlessly repairing the collapsing protective aura.

At that moment, he wished he could shrink into the ground; he couldn't care less about anything else.

But just as he was doing his best to defend against the purple lightning, a blood-stained white figure was already in front of him!

Ning Qian actually abandoned her defenses, allowing the remaining power of the purple lightning to rage within her body.

All remaining power, along with the last trace of spatial sword intent within the shattered right finger bones...

Concentrated in his left hand, he fiercely slashed at Dao Yi's crumbling protective aura.

"Are you crazy?!" Dao Yi's pupils shrank, and he screamed in shock.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

The only response he received was the chilling killing intent emanating from Ning Qian's scarlet eyes.

"Go to hell..."

His protective aura began to shatter inch by inch after being cut by the sword intent.

"No--!!!"

Dao Yi's roar was drowned out.

The next second, an even thicker bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning struck down fiercely, completely engulfing the two of them.

A blinding purple light flooded the field of vision, and destructive energy swept out, turning the surrounding mountains, rocks, and vegetation into dust.

"puff--!"

Ning Qian could no longer hold back, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Her figure, like a kite with a broken string, fell helplessly from the center of the blinding lightning, crashing heavily to the ground.

Dao Yi also fell awkwardly dozens of feet away.

Half of his body was almost split open, and the exposed bones were purplish-black.

More importantly, the excruciating pain emanating from his soul drove him almost insane, his consciousness teetering on the brink of collapse.

One more blow... and he'll absolutely go crazy.

No...no, he absolutely cannot die here.

Fortunately, he still had a backup plan: the Heavenly Secrets Compass! He still had the Heavenly Secrets Compass!

Driven by the will to survive, he crawled, like a lowly reptile, with his remaining arm, trembling, toward the fallen bronze compass not far away.

That was his natal immortal artifact, the Heavenly Secrets Disc!

Once you obtain it, you can activate the "Star Shift" forbidden technique stored inside, and even at a great cost, you can temporarily move yourself out of this area locked by the Heavenly Dao!

Closer...closer...

The charred fingers were about to touch the cold rim of the plate.

Just once... just once!

A plain white embroidered shoe, stained with blood, stepped on his charred wrist.

"Click."

A faint cracking sound was heard.

Dao Yi froze, then slowly raised his head little by little.

What came into view was Ning Qian's blood-stained face.

She stood swaying, as if she might collapse at any moment, her white clothes already soaked with blood and lightning.

But her eyes... were filled with only an empty indifference.

And the slight mocking curve at the corner of his mouth.

She... is smiling?

How is that possible?!

The torment of the soul by the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is like slow slicing, like purgatory!

He was driven almost insane; every breath was torture!

But this woman, who also suffered from the attack of the purple lightning, may have been more seriously injured than him.

How could she still stand up? How could she still laugh!

"Heh...heh..."

The world in Dao Yi's eyes began to collapse, and his last psychological defense was completely shattered.

"Go to hell..."

Ning Qian's voice was light and weak.

She raised her hand, which was now a bloody mess starting from the fingertips, and gently swung it down at Dao Yi, who was completely unable to defend himself.

A tiny spatial rift silently grazed Dao Yi's neck.

In Dao Yi's wide eyes, the last reflection was of Ning Qian's calm face and the sky dyed purple by lightning.

Ning Qian watched as Dao Yi's head rolled off and his body turned into light and dissipated.

The last glimmer of light in her own eyes quickly faded.

So tired...

My body aches so much... and my soul aches so much too...

It looks like it's about to shatter.

She staggered, finally unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed softly to the ground.

The purple vortex in the sky was still slowly spinning, but the next wave of destructive purple lightning was already approaching.

The lightning flashes were reflected and magnified in her increasingly unfocused pupils.

That's fine too.

Junior brother... he should be alright, right?

He has a special constitution and a strong ability to recover... He will definitely be able to pull through such a serious injury.

She thought hazily, her consciousness sinking like it was into icy water, darkness slowly engulfing her...

The excruciating pain that was expected to tear the soul apart did not come again.

Instead, a warm embrace was given.

She was carefully picked up and held in someone's arms.

A familiar scent...

Ning Qian strained to focus her unfocused gaze on the face of Shang Xuan, who was inches away from her.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and although the blood hole in his chest where the jade sword had pierced him had stopped bleeding, it was still a shocking sight.

"Hurry up..."

Ning Qian's lips moved slightly, her voice as soft as a whisper, yet filled with an unprecedented panic and pleading.

"Who sent you... Get out of here... Get out of here!"

She struggled to push him away, but she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

"Boom—!"

Another bolt of purple lightning struck down, hitting Fang Xuan squarely on the back.

"Pfft!" Fang Xuan's body trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of scalding blood, which splashed all over Ning Qian's face and neck.

Her blood was still hot, so hot it made her heart clench.

But he held her arm and didn't move an inch.

He looked down at her blood-stained face and forced a weak smile.

"How can I bear to leave if my senior sister doesn't go..."

"Please, let's go... I'm begging you..."

"As my senior sister knows, I'm the most disobedient person."

Ning Qian's tears finally broke free, mingling with the blood on her face and streaming down her cheeks. "No, Junior Brother is the most obedient... listen to Senior Sister... please go quickly..."

Fang Xuan didn't say anything, he just picked her up.

Ning Qian watched as the blood kept gushing out of him, and his pale yet smiling face, and felt as if her heart was being brutally crushed by a hand.

"Hurry...hurry up..."

That excruciating pain... how could my junior brother, who was so young, bear it? How could he take it for her...?

"Get out of here! I'm ordering you! Fang Xuan! I'm ordering you as your senior sister! Get out of here—!!!"

She let out a blood-curdling scream, using her last bit of strength to break free, tears blurring her vision.

It's no use. As long as she doesn't die and her aura doesn't dissipate, this purple lightning will keep striking!

In the end, my junior brother will definitely die.

......

"Boom! Boom!"

Two bolts of purple lightning struck Fang Xuan's back and shoulder without mercy.

More blood gushed from his wound, dripping onto Ning Qian's body and mixing with her blood, making them indistinguishable.

His breath weakened at a visible rate, his face turned ashen, and the arm holding her began to tremble slightly.

But he still smiled, trying to raise the corners of his mouth to soothe her fear and sadness.

"Don't cry, senior sister..."

He was panting, his voice growing softer and softer.

"Look... I can hold on... for a long time..."

He lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against hers.

"So...don't be afraid...I'll take you home."

Ning Qian opened her eyes wide and looked at his eyes, which were gradually losing their luster.

Looking at the still-wet bloodstains on his pale lips, and the countless gruesome wounds on his body...

In the whole world, only his gradually weakening breaths and the warm blood flowing continuously from his body remained.
