Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Pei Jinghan's words piqued Qin Lie's curiosity. What could it be?

In principle, he's not even qualified to listen?

Given Pei Jinghan's personality, this statement is absolutely true.

Seeing Pei Jinghan like this, Qin Lie couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Pei Jinghan is really carefree."

Knowing that his life was already on a countdown, he remained so calm. If it were him, he definitely couldn't have done it.

Pei Jinghan glanced at Qin Lie, as if he knew what Qin Lie was thinking.

He smiled and said, "Do you think only the demon race is orchestrating this?"

Qin Lie was taken aback.

"In fact, the human race is also making plans."

Qin Lie remained silent. If the human and demon races had fought to this point, they must both have think tanks.

Planning things out is common and nothing unusual.

"You might not believe it, but I already knew my fate before I even reached Duanfeng Pass."

Qin Lie was shocked upon hearing this.

"You knew before even reaching the Demon-Slaying Pass?"

"Um."

Pei Jinghan nodded.

"At that time, my master told me that I was dull-witted."

"In terms of cultivation, there may not be much achievement."

"If you want to serve the great victory of the human race and make a name for yourself in history, this is the only way."

He asked me if I was willing.

At this point, Pei Jinghan paused for a moment, then smiled.

"I didn't hesitate at the time and agreed immediately."

Qin Lie looked at him, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Pei Jinghan continued, "Actually, whether I go down in history or not is none of my concern."

"I don't really care whether people will remember me in the future."

"I only want to do my part to help humanity win."

Pei Jinghan spoke calmly, but the calmer he was, the more uneasy Qin Lie felt.

He couldn't help but glance at Pei Jinghan.

"General Pei, you've already reached the first rank, how can you call that dull-witted?"

What is the concept of "first rank"?

In the eyes of the Demon Suppression Division, those were already beings they could only look up to.

In the eyes of Pei Jinghan's master, he could only be considered dull-witted.

What exactly defines a genius?

Pei Jinghan burst into laughter after hearing this!

"Perhaps in your eyes now, being a first-class person is already quite remarkable."

"But you'll understand once your horizons truly broaden."

"First rank is just the starting point."

Qin Lie's brows twitched slightly.

Is first rank just the starting point?

If someone else had said this, Qin Lie might have thought they were bragging.

But once Pei Jinghan said it, he had no choice but to believe it.

Pei Jinghan turned to look at Qin Lie, his tone suddenly becoming more serious.

"Qin Lie, to be honest, I'm really envious of you!"

Qin Lie was taken aback.

"Envious of me?"

Pei Jinghan nodded.

"Your cultivation speed is truly the speed of a genius I've ever seen."

"If I had your talent back then, I might have been even stronger and could have lived to see the victory of the war."

Qin Lie opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.

Am I a genius?

I'm not a genius at all!

I just have a cheat code that I can add points to.

Others rely on talent and time to cultivate, but he only needs to move his hands.

But Pei Jinghan didn't know that.

In Pei Jinghan's eyes, his cultivation speed truly deserved to be called genius.

Qin Lie remained silent for a moment, and finally could only say, "I was just lucky."

He desperately wanted to tell the truth, but he knew that Pei Jinghan wouldn't believe him even if he did.

Pei Jinghan smiled and didn't dwell on the issue.

"Pei Jinghan, I'm ready."

"Are you ready to die?"

Just then, Shen Shuyan's voice came from the other side.

The previously calm atmosphere was suddenly pulled back to reality.

Pei Jinghan is about to die.

Pei Jinghan looked towards Shen Shuyan, then turned back to look at Qin Lie.

"It seems like it's almost time."

Qin Lie could sense that he spoke very casually, not like he was going to die, but more like he was going to keep a date with an old friend.

I'm leaving soon.

Looking back now, I realize I asked you for quite a few things.

"To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed."

Qin Lie immediately looked up.

"It's nothing, just tell me what's on your mind!"

Pei Jinghan paused for a moment, as if considering how to say it.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"It's really just a small request."

"I hope you can come here when humanity achieves a great victory."

Say something to me.

"Humans have won."

"Although I don't want to be remembered in history."

"However, I also really enjoy the feeling of being affirmed."

"I only hope to hear news that will allow me to die without regrets."

At this point, Pei Jinghan looked up at the sky.

The sky is very blue, the wind is very gentle, and the clouds are very white!

"I just hope that day won't be too far away, so that fewer people of the human race will die."

After listening, Qin Lie suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't say them.

Some people die in the darkest of times, dying without seeing victory, let alone the lives of those who come after them.

All they could see was war, blood, corpses, and endless suffering with no end in sight.

But they kept walking.

Because they believed that someone else would eventually see that day for them.

Pei Jinghan was the same.

He guarded Duanfeng Pass for so many years, not so that future generations would erect a tall monument for him, nor so that many people would remember his name.

He only wanted to know that his efforts in guarding this place had not been in vain, and that the three thousand men of the Broken Wind Camp had not died in vain.

Qin Lie gripped the Snow-Shattering Blade tightly, his throat feeling as if something was blocking it.

He looked at Pei Jinghan and said, word by word, "I promise you."

"I will definitely return on the day when humanity achieves a great victory."

I will tell you myself.

"Humans have won."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinghan first glanced at Qin Lie, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Qin Lie could hear the glee in the laughter.

What had been weighing on my heart for a hundred years was finally let go at this moment.

"Good! That's enough!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Pei Jinghan's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Qin Lie only felt a blur before his eyes.

The next second, Pei Jinghan appeared on the roof of the main hall.

He stood on high ground, his armor tattered, yet his aura suddenly surged.

It's like Pei Jinghan, who guarded Duanfeng Pass a hundred years ago, has returned!

"Three thousand brothers of the Broken Wind Camp! Today, follow me into battle once more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Broken Wind Pass seemed to come alive.

In front of the main hall, the broken swords stuck in the ground began to vibrate.

The tattered armor scattered among the ruins also emitted a faint humming sound.

It was as if countless soldiers who had been asleep for a hundred years had opened their eyes again at this moment.

On the drum platform.

The war drum, which had long been broken, suddenly began to sound on its own.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Qin Lie stood below, holding the broken snow, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

At that moment, it seemed as if he could truly see the Broken Wind Pass from a hundred years ago.

Three thousand soldiers of the Broken Wind Camp donned armor and carried swords.

Amidst the sound of war drums, they followed Pei Jinghan once again to the battlefield.

But at that very moment, another voice suddenly came from within Pei Jinghan's body.

The voice was hoarse, resentful, and filled with barely concealed shock and anger.

"Pei Jinghan! You've gone mad!"

It's Uguro!

Uguro's soul also emerged at this moment.

"If you destroy this body, you will die too!"

Standing on the roof, Pei Jinghan laughed even louder upon hearing this.

"I should have died a hundred years ago!"

"I can still take you down with me before I die today."

"It was worth it!"

Ugu Luo scoffed.

"You want to drag me down with you?"

"Pei Jinghan, aren't you overestimating yourself?"

"Even if you destroy this clone, I will only lose a remnant soul."

"So what if we're severely weakened?"

"In thirty to fifty years, I will naturally recover."

Qin Lie's heart sank when he heard this.

A remnant soul?

In other words, this is not the true form of Uguro?

If Pei Jinghan were to risk his life to exchange for a remnant soul of Wu Gu Luo, the price would be far too high!

But after listening, Pei Jinghan showed no disappointment whatsoever.

On the contrary, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Ugu Luo".

"If you pay such a high price, you will only lose a remnant of your soul."

"Then you underestimate the human race too much."

Uguro's voice suddenly changed, no longer as confident as before, but with a hint of surprise and doubt.

"What do you mean?"

Pei Jinghan did not answer him, but turned to look at Shen Shuyan not far away.

"I have no more attachments. Are you ready?"

Shen Shuyan stood in the formation and looked up at Pei Jinghan on the roof.

"Always be prepared!"
