Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

Chapter 102 The Unification of the World is but a Dream, Right and Wrong, Success and Failure are Just a Fleeting Moment

The bow was drawn to its fullest extent, and the arrowhead was pointed at the disheveled figure below, who was desperately trying to escape.

On the bowstring, the moonlight swirls and condenses into a single, dazzling, cold star.

Although it wasn't the Arrow of the Candle Dragon, with the divine power of the Chaos Bow, the power and speed of this arrow still reached an unbelievable level.

Before the arrow was even released, an extreme chill and sharpness, capable of locking down the universe and freezing the soul, had already quietly spread.

Below, Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​who was fully engaged in the Heavenly Ascent, suddenly felt a sense of alarm!

A chilling, bone-piercing sense of deadly danger, as if he were being watched by a prehistoric beast, instantly swept over his entire body, making his hair stand on end!

He instinctively wanted to change position, to defend himself, to dodge—

However, it was too late.

"Whoosh"

A faint, almost negligible, whooshing sound.

Under the moonlight, a silver streak of light, as if transcending space and time, struck with unparalleled precision, piercing through Gui Liangtianxia's left thigh the instant his figure had transformed into a pale purple phantom!

"Pfft!"

The sound of the arrow piercing flesh and bone was clearly audible.

Immediately afterwards, Gui Liangtianxia's already chaotic true energy stagnated.

"Ugh—"

Gui Liangtian let out an extremely mournful howl, his sprint, which was about to begin, was abruptly interrupted!

The excruciating pain in his left leg, coupled with the backlash of his inner energy, made it impossible for him to maintain his balance. Like a goose shot by an arrow, he stumbled from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.

He clutched his left leg, which had instantly lost consciousness and was bleeding profusely, and rolled and convulsed on the ground in agony, unable to stand up again.

At the same time, the figures of Huanyu Qizang and Bo Hanbo appeared.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha————" Holding his injured thigh, Gui Liangtianxia revealed an extremely ugly and miserable smile.

He thought he had orchestrated everything, but little did he know he had fallen into a meticulously crafted cage from which he could not escape.

"It's over, Gui Liang Tianxia." The voice of Huanyu Qizang was as cold as ice. The Haojie Sword was slowly raised, its tip pointing directly at Gui Liang Tianxia's throat.

The hatred of wiping out his family and the grudge of betraying his brother were all concentrated in this one sword strike.

Just as the killing sword was about to fall, a palm strike came from the side and parried the Cataclysmic Sword with a "crack".

It's Bo Hanbo.

"Bo Hanbo, you—" Huan Yu Qi Cang was caught off guard, and the sword tip deflected, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

He turned his head sharply, his eyes slicing like blades at the Deer King, his tone filled with incredulous anger and questioning.

Bo Hanbo stood in front of Gui Liangtianxia, ​​his face no longer showing its usual cheerfulness, but only deep weariness and complexity.

He glanced at his "friend" curled up on the ground behind him, barely breathing, shook his head, and said in a hoarse but firm voice, "I'm not protecting him. But he—can't die now."

"Can't die?" Huan Yu Qi Cang laughed in fury, the blood-red light on the Cataclysmic Sword intensifying. "The blood feud of the Huangfu family, Xiao Chan's injustice, and your little sister's serious injury—which one doesn't deserve death? Bo Hanbo, if you stop me again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"If you insist on taking his life now," Bo Hanbo took a deep breath, his palms sinking slightly as his inner energy began to gather, "then I will be your opponent."

The atmosphere changed abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.

The two who had just joined forces to fight the enemy are now at each other's throats over "to kill or not to kill".

Bo Hanbo knew that Gui Liangtianxia deserved to die, but too many questions remained unanswered: Why did he persecute Xifeng?

Is this all a pretense of friendship between Huangfu Xiaochan and others, given their supposed connection to the Divided Peaks?

He needed an answer, an explanation, instead of letting it all rot in the ground with the death of Gui Liangtianxia.

"Good, what a loyal and righteous Deer King!" Huan Yu Qi Zang said no more, and with a wave of his Hao Jie Sword, the blood-red sword light slashed towards Bo Han Bo like a bolt of lightning.

Bo Hanbo's palms flew, and the force of his palms collided violently with the blood-red sword light.

Clang! Bang!

The two actually started fighting fiercely in this desperate situation, all for the sake of a dying man.

Sword light and palm shadows clashed, and energy radiated in all directions, pulverizing the surrounding broken wood and branches once again.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, a desperate glint of survival instinct flashed in Gui Liangtianxia's eyes.

He endured the excruciating pain in his leg, supported himself with his hands, and dragged his almost useless leg, inch by inch, into the depths of the dense forest.

A long, shocking trail of blood was left behind him.

What dignity of a warlord, what majesty of a lord, are all worthless in the face of life and death.

However, he had only climbed a few feet when a powerful figure slowly emerged from behind an ancient tree, blocking his path.

The newcomer wore a crown and a magnificent red and gold robe; he was none other than the leader of the Yi Liu Sect, Bei Chen Yuan Huang.

He looked down at the writhing ghost Liang Tianxia on the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.

(The appearance of Beichen Yuanhuang here was naturally orchestrated by Ye Jinming through the words of the Universe Treasures, with the aim of leaving no room for retreat.)

"Hahaha—" Bei Chen Yuanhuang let out a low laugh, as if he had seen the most ridiculous sight in the world. "Lord Gui Liang, how spirited you were once! Now, what do you look like?"

He leaned slightly forward, speaking slowly and deliberately, each word like a needle piercing Gui Liangtianxia's heart: "Like a—a stray dog ​​with a broken leg, only able to crawl!"

"Bei Chen Yuan Huang!" Gui Liang Tian Xia stopped crawling, struggling to prop himself up on one knee. Although his face was ashen and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, his eyes remained fierce. "What are you doing here?"

"What for?" Bei Chen Yuanhuang straightened up, stood with his hands behind his back, and slowly released his imperial aura. "Of course, it's to kill you."

"Kill me? Cough cough—" Gui Liang Tianxia coughed up a mouthful of black blood, grinning maliciously, "You? You're dreaming!"

"You can try!" Gui Liangtian roared, trying to gather his last bit of strength.

"Very well!" Bei Chen Yuanhuang's eyes sharpened. "Even on the verge of death, you still dare to bar your teeth in front of me."

Enraged, the emperor moved swiftly, giving Gui Liang Tianxia no chance to breathe. Bei Chen Yuan Huang's figure danced like a phoenix in the heavens, his palms unleashing terrifying energy as he pressed directly towards Gui Liang Tianxia.

"The world is changing!"

The palm strike was imposing, with imperial dragon energy swirling around the palm tip, causing the surrounding air currents to become chaotic, as if the world had turned upside down, its power astonishing.

Gui Liangtianxia had no way to avoid it, so he could only forcefully gather his remaining true energy and push out a defensive stance with both palms: "Five Nets!"

However, how could a hastily prepared defensive move withstand Bei Chen Yuan Huang's long-awaited Huangji move?

The purple-gold dragon energy tore through the pale green energy net with overwhelming force, slamming into Gui Liangtianxia's crossed arms as he tried to block.

"Crack!" A clear sound of bone breaking rang out.

With a "plop," Gui Liangtianxia flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a large tree before sliding to the ground. Blood gushed from his mouth, and his right arm hung limply, clearly broken.

Bei Chen Yuanhuang slowly stepped forward, looking at Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​who was slumped under the tree, unable even to stand, and coldly said, "Now, can you still be arrogant?"

With Bei Chen Yuan Huang in front and Bo Han Bo and Huan Yu Qi Zang locked in fierce battle behind, it's a truly desperate situation!

"Ugh—ah—" Gui Liangtianxia's eyes flashed with extreme madness and unwillingness. He suddenly raised his head and let out a beast-like howl, "You want my life—not so easy! Let's die together!"

He began to burn his last bit of true essence, breaking through his limits and unleashing the Source of Fury. His entire being was enveloped in a destructive aura of pale green and dark purple.

"Completely lost their soul!"

The final move of the Five Deadly Techniques, combined with the rage-infused flow that burns life force, is incredibly powerful!

Gui Liangtianxia, ​​as if possessed, pushed his palms forward, unleashing a destructive torrent of energy, a mixture of his lifelong ambition and resentment, that swept towards Bei Chen Yuanhuang!

Wherever it passed, vegetation withered and turned to ashes instantly, and even the air hissed as it corroded.

Faced with this desperate attack, Bei Chen Yuan Huang's expression also became solemn. He dared not be negligent. His dragon energy surged within him, and his palms drew mysterious trajectories in front of his chest, drawing together purple light.

"Purple Light Imperial Supreme!"

The dazzling purple light transformed into a massive imperial aura net, directly confronting the destructive torrent.

The two extreme forces collided with a deafening roar, producing an even more violent explosion than before.

The purple light and the green-purple evil energy intertwined and annihilated each other wildly, completely overturning the ground within a radius of tens of feet, forming a huge scorched pit.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Bei Chen Yuanhuang let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She staggered back several steps before regaining her footing, her internal energy churning.

Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​on the other hand, seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he fell straight down, his breath as weak as a wisp of smoke, only exhaling and not inhaling.

Bei Chen Yuanhuang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at the fallen Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​and a complex mix of admiration and respect flashed in her eyes: "Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​even with such severe injuries, you still have such the power to fight back. You—have reason to be proud."

Gui Liang's consciousness of the world was already blurred, and past illusions floated before his eyes, as if he had returned to the Fulong Wall, looking at the poem he had carved, "The world is unified under Gui Liang," and he let out intermittent, unintelligible hoarse laughter: "Ha—"

Hahaha, the world is unified, and the land belongs to Guiliang, hahahaha————”

Without further hesitation, Bei Chen Yuanhuang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He pointed his fingers like a sword, gathering a chilling aura at his fingertips, and thrust them down towards Gui Liang Tianxia's vital point!

"it's over."

puff!

The energy flowed through the body.

Gui Liangtianxia's body trembled violently, then went completely limp. The last glimmer of light in his eyes faded, and he perished completely, carrying with him his ambition and conspiracy.

He was too clever for his own good, and ended up killing her. He wasted half his life's efforts, only to be swept away by the darkness three times.

At this moment, Ye Jinming, Su Huanzhen, Hao Kunlun, Huangfu Xiaochan and others finally arrived "late".

"Ah—this—" Huangfu Xiaochan looked at the lifeless ghost Liang Tianxia on the ground. Although he hated Liang Tianxia's scheming, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow and regret at seeing his former sworn brother end up in such a tragic way.

Hao Kunlun remained silent and shook his head.

Ye Jinming stepped forward and said to Bei Chen Yuanhuang, "Thank you, Pope, for taking action and eliminating this scourge for the martial world. Please return his body so we can handle the aftermath."

Bei Chen Yuanhuang glanced at Gui Liang Tianxia's corpse and said disdainfully, "Don't worry, I have no interest in a corpse."

He bent down and took a pair of shimmering boots from Gui Liangtian's feet—the Azure Sky Journey, one of the five divine artifacts.

"This is the true objective of my journey." Bei Chen Yuan Huang put away the Azure Sky Journey, in high spirits. "The Ghost Liang Military Prefecture is now leaderless. I'll leave the mess to the righteous path of the Central Plains."

After saying that, he called out to Huanyu Qizang, who had just extricated himself from his battle with Bo Hanbo.

Huanyu Qizang stopped entangled with the Deer King, exchanged a glance with Huangfu Xiaochan, and then hurriedly followed Beichen Yuanhuang.

The two figures flickered and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Bo Hanbo looked at Gui Liangtianxia's corpse, then at Bei Chenyuanhuang who had left, and finally sighed deeply, his face full of dejection: "Alas—how could things have developed to this point—"

Ye Jinming stared intently at Gui Liangtianxia's corpse—

From Hao Kunlun and Huangfu Xiaochan to Su Huanzhen, connecting to the Deer King and the Universe, aided by the Moon Goddess's Arrow, and finally to Beichen Yuanhuang—

With this series of elaborate schemes and four layers of deadly intent, it seems that Gui Liang Tianxia won't be able to stage a fake death this time.
