Lin Chaoyu didn't answer him. With a flick of her wrist, the light rope tightened, pulling Ma Feima up from the pile of rubble and bringing her in front of her.

Then she bent down and reached out to untie the restraints on his body.

"Let's go."

"……Walk?"

“Leave here.” Lin Chaoyu’s voice was still soft, but her pace was much faster than usual. “I’ve made arrangements. There’s a secret passage from the back of Sky Peak that can bypass those Honkai Beasts and lead directly down the mountain. I’ve prepared horses in the town at the foot of the mountain. As soon as we get there, we…”

"Chaoyu," Ma Feima interrupted her, "What are you saying?"

Lin Chaoyu paused, looked up at him, and said, "I'm saying we can escape. Leave Tianqiong Peak, leave Taixu Sword Sect, leave all of this. Find a place where no one knows us, and start over."

Ma Feima was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I'm not leaving."

Lin Chaoyu's gaze instantly turned sharp.

"Why can't we leave? Is it because that woman surnamed Su is also on the mountain?"

“Because of the Herrscher.” Ma Feima looked directly into her eyes. “Chao Yu, do you know what the Herrscher of Domination is? Once it is resurrected, the entire Divine Land will be plunged into disaster. There will be nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide.”

Lin Chaoyu's expression froze for a moment, then she seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, her lips twitched, but she didn't laugh.

"Ruler of Domination, when did you start caring about these things?"

“I’ve always cared about it,” Ma Feima said. “I just didn’t know it before.”

"So what if you know now?" Lin Chaoyu's voice suddenly rose. "Can you kill it? With your broken sword?"

Ma Feima remained silent.

Lin Chaoyu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but to little avail.

Her chest heaved, and the knuckles of her fingers gripping the sword had turned white.

"Come with me. Just this once, listen to me."

Ma Feima looked at her, remained silent for a long time, and then closed his eyes in pain: "You've become a demon."

Lin Chaoyu's body stiffened abruptly: "What did you say?"

“I’m telling you, you’ve already fallen into demonic possession.” Ma Feima’s voice was flat. “Can’t you feel it yourself? Your dantian, your meridians, your sword heart… those things have been eroded by Honkai energy.”

Lin Chaoyu gripped his sword and looked at Ma Feima.

"I haven't fallen into demonic possession," she said softly, as if trying to convince herself.

“You’ve fallen into demonic possession,” Ma Feima said again. “Chaoyu, you can’t fool yourself. I was also controlled by the sword in my hand. Listen to me, let go of the Xuanyuan Sword. Master won’t blame us. We, the Seven Swords of Taixu, can still be together, just like before…”

"No!"

Lin Chaoyu suddenly flew into a rage: "What do you mean 'same as before'? You're always thinking about her, that vixen! You're my husband, why are you always staring at her like that!"

call out!

The bluish-gray soft sword drew an arc in the air, its tip pointing at a rock in the distance.

A thin, hair-like beam of sword light shot out from the tip of the sword, pierced into the void beside the rock, and disappeared.

A few breaths later, the sword light reappeared, returning from the void and wrapping around a person's waist.

Su Mei's body was dragged through the air by the sword light, skimming over rubble and debris, before crashing heavily at Lin Chaoyu's feet.

Without her martial arts skills, she couldn't even perform the most basic force-dissipating movements. When she landed, her shoulder slammed heavily against a rock, making a dull thud.

"Su Mei!" Ma Feima's expression changed drastically, and he struggled to rush towards Su Mei.

Lin Chaoyu watched him rush towards Su Mei, watched him anxiously lift the woman's shoulder, and watched him check her for injuries with concern.

Her heart turned cold.

"I knew it." Lin Chaoyu's voice became very soft, almost inaudible. "I knew it was her."

Ma Feima looked up at her: "Chao Yu, it's not what you think..."

"What is it?" Lin Chaoyu interrupted him, her voice eerily calm. "Since when did you start following her? Since when have you been calling her 'Second Senior Sister' and seeing 'Second Senior Sister' all the time?"

"I am your wife of many years."

Ma Feima suddenly stood up: "Lin Chaoyu, wake up! This is not the time to talk about these things!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Chaoyu's voice exploded again, and the entire canyon trembled at her voice.

Her sword was pointed at Ma Feima, the tip of the sword only an inch away from his throat.

"You chose her, didn't you?"

Ma Feima looked at her without saying a word.

Lin Chaoyu's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes, but did not fall.

"Good, very good."

“You all deserve to die, you deserve to die at Master’s hands.”

Her voice was low and menacing, like a curse, yet also like a lament, "I'll kill you all now, then go to my master and ask her to take back your lives! That'll be peace! I've never known what resistance was in my life, and the first time I resisted was for you! But you all..."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Light Dust Willow" twirled in the air, like a green snake, and lunged at Ma Feima's throat.

Ma Feima stood in front of Su Mei and closed his eyes.

A golden light streaked across the sky.

"First published on 705u.com - Book Club"

The tip of Qingchenliu's sword was deflected by a golden chain, leaving a cyan trail in the air as it veered to the left.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time."

Lin Chaoyu suddenly turned her head.

Otto stood at the entrance to the canyon.

"It's you." Lin Chaoyu's voice turned cold. "How did you manage to come here to break the great formation?"

“It’s simple, Sect Leader Lin.” Otto shrugged. “As long as you master the correct frequency, finding the gap isn’t difficult.”

Lin Chaoyu's gaze darkened.

Otto ignored her expression and walked to the center of the field. His gaze fell on the bluish-gray soft sword in Lin Chaoyu's hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's truly beautiful. The Soul Steel forging technique from the pre-civilization has been combined with the sword intent tempering from the native land of Shenzhou. More importantly, it contains the core of the Herrscher of Domination. I'm afraid even that Herrscher herself can't find all of her core now."

Otto said calmly, "How many evil deeds must a person commit to bring her back to dawn from the depths of hell? Honkai is the end of the world, Herrschers are demons, and I am prepared to go to hell and come into contact with demons."

Lin Chaoyu held his sword horizontally in front of him: "What exactly do you want to say?"

“To put it simply…” Otto’s eyes turned cold: “Give me your sword.”

Chapter 71 Fu Hua: Why is he looking at my mouth?

The battle in front of Fuyun Temple ended quickly.

Zhang Yang's fist landed on the carapace of a Honkai Beast, and a burst of inner flame erupted from his fist. The Honkai Beast let out a muffled roar and then collapsed.

The remaining assassins and Taixu disciples didn't last long either.

After Zhang Yang finished off the last Honkai Beast, he turned around and looked at the Taixu disciples.

A dozen or so people stood in the courtyard, their eyes vacant, their swords still raised, but their bodies had been completely controlled by the control threads and had lost all self-awareness.

boom!

He rushed to the first person and extended his right hand.

The flames of the heart leaped from his dantian, exploding into a crimson seal in his palm—

The character “心”.

He struck the disciple's dantian with his palm, and a wisp of black smoke rose from the dantian. With a soft "hiss," the control thread broke off from the dantian, twitched in the air, and turned to ashes.

The Taixu disciple rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Yang followed the same method and dealt with all the remaining dozen or so people.

For every thread that burned, a disciple of Taixu fell.

A dozen or so people lay sprawled on the bluestone slabs in front of Fuyun Temple, as if their power had been collectively cut off.

Fu Hua withdrew her fist and looked at the person on the ground: "What you just did was neutralize the Honkai energy?"

"More or less." Zhang Yang patted the non-existent dust off his hands. "Honkai energy is essentially a kind of imaginary energy, which has no inherent good or evil attributes. However, imaginary energy has a characteristic: it is very easy to be 'labeled'."

"It's like a blank sheet of paper; anyone can write on it."

"The Cocoon of the End has 'Trial' written on it, wanting to assimilate life on Earth into its own form. There are also countless powerful beings in the universe who have written their own philosophies on the imaginary energy."

He paused for a moment before uttering a few words: "preservation, immortality, order, pioneering, joy, intellect..."

"Intelligent life occupies imaginary energy and will always be unable to resist leaving its own mark."

"I simply burned those 'words' to turn Honkai energy back into imaginary energy."

Fu Hua frowned slightly: "You just mentioned the universe? Is this what you saw from the higher-dimensional perspective of the secret realm?"

"Pretty much, but I don't know who released the Cocoon of the End." Zhang Yang smiled. "But at least one thing is certain: even a battle on the scale of cosmic destruction doesn't seem to affect Earth."

For example, a doomsday order that was killed shortly after birth could erase the entire universe without affecting Earth.

It could even be said that the storylines of Honkai Impact 3rd and the Honkai Impact 3rd universe are indeed connected.

A robot of a mother's favorite girl even appeared on the main storyline map, as did the Earth God found by Yi Ting, not to mention the history teacher who participated in the entire main storyline...

They seem to be in an ambiguous, neither-too-close-to-apart state.

Just as Fu Hua was about to say something, she suddenly felt an unsettling sense of pressure.

Zhang Yang also sensed it, and the two of them suddenly looked up.

The sky above is changing color.

The once bright afternoon sky is now darkening at a visible rate.

A thick cloud of black mist spread out from the floating island atop Sky Dome Peak, like ink dripping into clear water, rapidly dissipating.

As soon as the black mist appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.

The feeling of "being alive" is disappearing.

Wherever the black mist passed, even the air became deathly still.

The birdsong disappeared, the insect chirping disappeared, and even the rustling of the wind through the leaves disappeared.

The whole world seemed to have been muted.

Zhang Yang stared intently at the black mist of death, his gaze grave.

Fu Hua's expression changed instantly: "Black Abyss, White Flower."

"Is this the power of the Black Abyss White Flower?"

“Yes, the Sixth Divine Key. The Twin Divine Keys made from the core of the previous generation’s Herrscher of Death.” Fu Hua spoke much faster than usual. “White Flower wields the power of creation, which can regenerate all life; Black Abyss wields the power of decay, which can decompose all matter.”

She pointed to the spreading black mist in the sky: "That black mist is the embodiment of the power of decay."

Zhang Yang squinted and looked at it: "How large is the area?"

"If it's just the sky above Sky Peak, it's not that big. But if you add the Fourth Divine Key..."

Before Fu Hua could finish speaking, the wind direction at the top of Sky Dome suddenly changed.

call--

The black mist, which had been spreading slowly, began to spin rapidly the instant the wind direction changed.

The black mist formed a huge vortex in the sky, with a funnel-shaped structure extending downwards from its center.

tornado.

A black tornado.

"The Fourth Divine Key, the Global Climate Control System." Fu Hua's voice was frighteningly calm. "The Herrscher of Domination is using the Fourth Divine Key to drive these death fogs, turning them into storms that will blow across the entire Divine Land."

Zhang Yang stared at the black tornado that was taking shape and remained silent for a moment.

What would happen if it blew to the ground?
