Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"What?" His voice was calm. "Afraid I'll harm your people?"

Jiang Jiu did not answer, but simply stood in front of him, the tip of his sword pointed at his throat.

Fenfeng looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Shi Jin, do you know that your greatest weakness is..."

[Star: This conversation sounds so familiar...]

[March 7th: We must survive!!! Save me, save me, save me!!!]

[Fireworks: ...I don't know if we'll survive, but I feel like the Fiery Wind is going to die.]

[Qingque: Oh no, oh no, this is terrible! We've triggered that familiar dialogue again! Fenfeng is going to say that line again, "Your weakness is too fatal, isn't it?!" I can recite it by heart!]

Fu Xuan: ...Let the world be destroyed.

[Walter: Don't panic. Lord Jiang Jiu's decision to keep Black Tower by his side this time isn't because he's reckless. If Fen Feng wants to touch Black Tower, he'll have to get past him first.]

[Himeko: The question is, can they even get past him? The Burning Wind is the most terrifying of all the Annihilation Lords. No matter how strong Jiang Jiu is, it would be difficult for him to protect the Black Tower while fighting him, right?]

Walter: That's unclear.

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk tsk, putting everything else aside, the Death Star of the Foehn Wind is shining as brightly as a street lamp. What does that signify? It's so hard to guess.]

[Topa: Tsk... All I can think about right now is the image of the previous line's Fiery Wind being dismantled piece by piece by sword...]

[Gold Sand: Want to see it? I saved that video.]

[Topa: Hmm? Gold dust, when did you learn to store this kind of thing?]

[Gold dust: Learned from fireworks.]

[Fireworks: Well taught! Time to pay tuition!]

[Gold dust: No money.]

[Fireworks: No money? Then pay with your life! Anyway, Fenfeng is about to die, and I just need some new fun~]

[Topa; Here comes the funniest part, I also heard the line "I have no money for gold dust," am I poisoned by poisonous mushrooms?]

[Forgotten Traveler: Requesting one Resurrection Scroll. If you don't have one, that's fine too.]

Jiang Jiu realized what Fen Feng was about to do almost instantly, and in that instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The speed of the foehn wind is also very fast.

A grayish-white light tore through the void and hurtled straight toward the black tower!

boom......!!!

A burst of light erupted, and smoke filled the air...

Black Tower's vision was obscured for a moment, and when she could see clearly again... her breath caught in her throat for a second.

Everyone's breath caught in their throats for a moment.

[Su Chang: I can't bear to look... Is Lady Black Tower still alive?]

"Alive..."

Gui Naifen said softly.

"What happened?" Su Chang cautiously opened her eyes, and upon seeing the scene clearly, she couldn't help but freeze for two seconds.

[Sushang:! ! ! 】

Jiang Jiu blocked her way.

But Fenfeng's hand pierced straight through his chest.

The hand pierced through his back and emerged from his chest, blood dripping from his fingertips, falling drop by drop into the void.

Jiang Jiu lowered his head, looking at the hand that pierced through his chest, his face expressionless.

Fenfeng stood behind him, a slight smile on his lips.

"Shi Jin, you've lost."

He squeezed hard and crushed Jiang Jiu's heart.

[Star: Am I going to die again...? Is it going to end again? Even with all my strength, I still can't win! I'm starving!!!]

[Fireworks: Laugh all you want, the happier you are now, the more miserable you'll be crying later!]

[Fireworks: Does he think he's got it all figured out? Actually, the real show is just beginning!]

[Cang Gang: The happier Fen Feng laughs now, the more miserable his death will be later.]

[Shuju: I'm actually kind of looking forward to it...]

[Opal: Now I'm a little curious, when will Jiang Jiu's rewind start? Will it be from the very beginning, or will it start directly from before his heart was crushed?]

[Zhenzhu: Judging from the previous pattern, Lord Jiang Jiu can choose the time to revert to the previous state, but the specific point of revert depends on his judgment.]

[Topa: I hope he rewinds to before he made his move; I want to see how he counter-kills Burning Wind.]

[Gold Sand: It wasn't a counterattack, it was a brutal massacre, like the one in the previous storyline.]

[Yao Guang: Why don't you guys watch the footage... Jiang Jiu isn't dead, and you're already thinking about what happens after he dies?]

[March 7th: Huh? He's still alive?]

Yes, he didn't die.

The greyish-white hand of Fenfeng pierced through Jiang Jiu's chest, crushing his heart. The image followed the dripping blood upwards...

The last thing you see is that eerily calm smile on Jiang Jiu's face?

...Jiang Jiu, is he smiling?

......

(Wow, looking at the comments, more than one person asked why Liuying didn't post any comments.)

(I mean, is it possible that this timeline is after Pinocchio and before Onpharos? What about Firefly?)

Watching a movie (109) - together, returning, to, and ending

Before the confusion came, Black Tower let out a somewhat out-of-control exclamation.

This usually calm and collected genius lost control of his voice for the first time.

"...Jiang Jiu!!!"

Black Tower took a step forward, but Jiang Jiu raised his hand and waved it gently.

The movement was somewhat weak, but Black Tower saw it.

She paused, a mix of trust and worry clashing wildly in her mind, causing her thoughts to spiral out of control.

Reason told her that she should unconditionally trust Jiang Jiu; at this moment, even if she got closer, it wouldn't help.

but......

She looked at his pale face, at the bleeding wound, at the hand piercing his chest... and then, unable to resist, she looked into his eyes again.

Those eyes are smiling.

He's really laughing...

[March 7th: This is bad, wait... wait, what was I going to say?]

[Xing: You mean Jiang Jiu isn't the kind of person who would throw his life away in vain, which means he has a backup plan!]

[March 7th: I'll pay a hefty sum for a brain; if you don't have one, fine.]

[Star: You finally admitted you're brainless!!!]

[March 7th: Hey!!!]

[Walter: What kind of backup plan would require using one's own life as bait? This is too much...]

[Himeko: This is insane? But Jiang Jiu has always been this insane, only this time, he's gone completely mad.]

This isn't the first or second time someone's risked their life...

You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it...?

[March 7th: It's a minor issue, don't panic. How could someone who's confident possibly die!]

[Danheng: In March, I suggest you keep quiet.]

[March 7th: Why?!]

[Danheng: Because you have a bit of a jinx.]

[March 7th: Huh...?!]

Foehn also sensed something was wrong.

He tried to pull his hand away, but it was held tightly.

Jiang Jiu gripped his wrist tightly, so tightly that Fen Feng couldn't pull it back.

"You...!" Fenfeng's voice carried a hint of panic.

Jiang Jiu lowered his head and glanced at the hand that pierced his chest. The dizziness from blood loss was spreading, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he smiled.

The smile was light and emotionless, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down Fenfeng's spine.

"Finally... I've caught you."

[March 7th: Wow... Judging from Fenfeng's reaction, Jiang Jiu is actually doing this on purpose?]

[Star: March, isn't it obvious? Jiang Jiu is using himself as bait to lure Fen Feng in! He acted so pitifully just now, I thought he was really done for. I give his acting a perfect score!]

[Fireworks: You don't even know how to praise it properly. Find a good place to praise it. Honestly, where exactly was it performed?]

[March 7th: Let me think... but his heart was crushed, can that be acted out?]

[Star: For a self-destructive being, the heart might not really be a fatal wound... right?]

[Danheng: No, a crushed heart is fatal to anyone. As for why I didn't die immediately, I don't know. Ask Existence.]

[Star: I don't know either, let's ask if it exists.]
