Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

But so many days have passed, even if she's dead, surely her body can be found eventually?

Wenren Tianxia would not rest until he saw Chi Junlin's corpse with his own eyes.

However, the river stretches for over a hundred miles, with countless mudflats along its banks.

Who knows where Chi Junlin was swept away by the raging torrent?

-

So, did Chi Junlin actually die?

The answer is obviously no.

Even setting aside her unparalleled martial arts skills, her physique, honed by years of military service, is many times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

After all, internal energy truly exists in this world, and it can indeed temper and strengthen the bodies of ordinary people.

Lan Gexing was able to be reborn from the womb and come back to life.

It was nothing more than falling from a sheer cliff into a river and being swept away by the current for hundreds of miles.

What does that amount to compared to the unparalleled powerhouses like them?

Comparatively speaking, the threat posed by falling off the cliff to Chi Junlin was not even as great as the full force of her palm strike during her life-or-death battle with Lan Gexing.

Therefore, even though the situation seemed extremely critical at the time, both Chi Junlin and Lan Gexing had already noticed the fall of the Heavenly Palace.

However, they still did not lower their guard against the other party in the slightest.

So much so that during the time between the main palace falling from the sky and the two of them falling into the river.

The two continued their desperate fight.

Even after they both fell into the water, they showed no sign of giving up.

They attacked each other with all their might, their internal energies clashing and creating bursts of giant bubbles underwater.

The waves surged skyward, like muffled thunderclaps exploding underwater.

This all-out attack can be described as squeezing out potential to its limit.

Red King has not found an opponent of equal strength for a long time.

You can even feel an indescribable pleasure from the fighting.

But this does not mean that Chi Junlin and Lan Gexing will appreciate each other.

Both of them still wanted to kill each other with all their might, and if given the chance, they would choose to eliminate each other without hesitation!

However, the battle in the water was still too physically demanding.

The two fought relentlessly, constantly shifting the balance of power.

Unbeknownst to them, they ended up chasing and killing each other underwater for dozens of miles.

From one tributary to another.

We are now too far from where we initially fell off the cliff.

So far away that they no longer knew where they were.

And so, the two of them gradually exhausted their inner strength in the water.

But he still persisted in using his hands to choke the other person's neck and pull at their hands and feet.

Even if it takes all their strength, they must drown their opponent in the river using the most primitive methods.

Struggling and tumbling incessantly, Chi Junlin and Lan Gexing struggled until they were almost completely exhausted.

They involuntarily chose to grab each other's necks in the water.

It rolled over, using its last bit of strength to try and strangle the other person underwater.

No one could have imagined that two unparalleled masters would end up having their final showdown in such an undignified manner.

Like village hooligans and street shrewish women.

In a completely inelegant way, they used all their strength to kill their opponent.

But the Crimson Emperor ultimately had the advantage in terms of physical strength.

After all, she came from a military background and was physically strong.

Lan Gexing is just a nine-year-old "little girl" who has just "hatched" from her cocoon.

If her body were stronger than Chi Junlin's, that would be defying common sense.

Perhaps if Lan Gexing were given more time to thoroughly study her "Ninefold Embryo Transformation" body, even Chi Junlin might not be her match.

But there are no "what ifs" in reality.

The current Chi Junlin has suppressed Lan Gexing.

It made her breathing gradually become weaker.

Finally, when the last air bubble in Lan Gexing's lungs was squeezed out by Chi Junlin with his hands, her hands gradually became weak.

He could no longer hold onto Chi Junlin's neck.

After her hands were released, she gradually fell into a coma and slowly sank into the deep waters of the river.

Won!

Only one thought had time to form in Chi Junlin's mind.

However, what followed was not the joy of victory.

Because the next second, she immediately realized that she had used up all her last strength in the final struggle for life and death.

I tried to swim towards the river, but found that my hands and feet were no longer under my control.

Oh no... it's sinking... I have to...

Chi Junlin struggled to float to the surface, but found that his feet suddenly became extremely heavy.

Looking down, they discovered that the unconscious Lan Gexing had unconsciously grabbed his own ankle at the last moment.

Chi Junlin felt a surge of anger.

You bastard... even if you die, are you going to drag me down with you?

Sure enough...it really is...

He's born with a demonic nature...

At the last moment, Chi Junlin's thoughts were lingering, but he hadn't had time to do anything.

Then I felt my consciousness being peeled away little by little.

Finally, his body sank heavily, sinking into the water along with Lan Gexing...

-

Fleeting thoughts lingered in mid-air.

Chi Junlin vaguely sensed that he was in a void.

Before her, like a slideshow, the figures of many people flashed by one after another.

The illusion, like a revolving lantern, made Chi Junlin vaguely feel as if he could not feel the existence of his limbs.

Is he about to die?

Or is he already dead?

It's hard to imagine that the invincible Crimson Emperor would end up with such an absurd fate.

Otherwise, how could Ye Qiancao's figure appear before her eyes?

Was she there to guide me into the afterlife?

Chi Junlin felt puzzled, but he also vaguely sensed that Ye Qiancao and he were both floating in a void.

She nestled peacefully in her own arms, wrapping her arms around herself.

Her expression was happy and beautiful.

Chi Junlin opened his mouth slightly, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Both hands were also out of control.

Ye Qiancao seemed to have noticed Chi Junlin's awakening, and looked at her with a surprised expression.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to herself.

But whatever she wanted to express, she could only let her voice fall into boundless nothingness.

There seemed to be a barrier between the two, a barrier that prevented them from communicating.

But Chi Junlin could still feel the warmth emanating from Ye Qiancao's body.

However, these temperatures quickly disappeared.

Because she gradually realized that Ye Qiancao had been captured by something.

It seemed as if countless hands were separating the two at this very moment.

When she realized it, Ye Qiancao's figure in front of her was already being held by countless hands.

And just like that, it was snatched away from the Crimson Lord right before his eyes.

Chi Junlin also felt that those large hands were only gripping his hands and feet.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down.

Chi Junlin vaguely felt that he saw a blue sky and drifting waves.

There were also fishing nets, women, and oars.

She didn't know where she was, and everything around her seemed to slow down very slowly.

My consciousness was in a daze for a long time.

But when a young girl appeared in front of her.

Chi Junlin suddenly awoke with a start.

The girl seemed startled and almost fell over in front of Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin realized that the girl's face was extremely unfamiliar.

She was about to get out of bed when she felt dizzy.

It was so hazy that there was nowhere to settle down.

"you're awake?"

After her initial panic, the girl quickly smiled and asked Chi Junlin in an excited tone.

Chi Junlin did not reply.

He simply turned his head to look at his surroundings.

They discovered that this place seemed to be an ordinary fishing village.

Thatched huts with earthen walls.

Smoked fish and pickled vegetables hung from the rafters, and beneath them lay hard wooden planks.

The girl's face was full of simplicity and kindness, her slightly fair skin and dark eyes occasionally revealing a lively spirit.

At this moment, it seemed that they noticed the awakening of the Crimson King.

Not far from the house, an elderly woman with white hair spoke a few words loudly.

The girl turned around and replied to her.

Chi Junlin frowned slightly.

Because what they said was not the official language of high-ranking officials.

Rather, it is a unique language that blends Miao and ancient Chinese phonetics.

It is probably quite different from the local dialects of the southwest region.

It may be an ancient saying that is only recorded in ancient books.

The girl seemed to exchange something with the old woman.
