Countless pains, and the sound of bricks and tiles being crushed, coming from far away.
Hu Chen, who was almost buried by bricks and tiles, saw a wooden board being lifted up in front of him.
Then he saw Xu Qingyan's handsome face, staring at him coldly.
“This is the real end.”
Hu Chen looked at the moon in the sky with empty eyes. The red color... seemed to be slowly receding.
That was a palpable passage.
The ritual...is going to fail.
"No...I cannot fail...I am a messenger...I am the messenger welcoming the Supreme!!"
He screamed almost to the point of exhaustion, but blood flowed out of his throat first. His eyes were all bloodshot, and his blood was clearly draining away.
Xu Qingyan lowered his head and looked at the other person.
"What is the Supreme? What about the Messenger?"
Hu Chen's eyes returned to Xu Qingyan's face, and he sneered.
"The Supreme is the Supreme. The Supreme is the God who will purge you, the filthy race. You know nothing!"
Xu Qingyan stepped on the other person's face and said in a cold voice.
"Understand your current situation. I suggest you speak more politely."
After saying this, Xu Qingyan moved his feet away, and then saw Hu Chen's extremely humiliated expression.
He looked at Xu Qingyan viciously.
"If I tell you everything, will you let me go?"
"Probably not. You know the answer very well."
Xu Qingyan had no intention of lying, because the other party would not believe him if he lied at this time.
Trying to convince someone who already has the answer in his mind is a very foolish act.
It doesn't make any sense either.
Hu Chen sneered, "What else do you expect me to say?"
Xu Qingyan thought for a moment, "Why do you say you are an envoy? What is the purpose of this ceremony? You are willing to sacrifice so many people, plan so much... and even risk your own life rather than take the power in front of you. What exactly is brewing? You said I won't make any promises to you. But... I think you will feel more relaxed."
"What's relaxing?"
"Die easily."
Xu Qingyan's words made Hu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Half of his body was buried in the bricks and tiles, unable to move. At this moment, he was just like fish on the chopping board.
"You really don't know how to convince others... You don't have any sincerity at all."
Xu Qingyan looked at the other person with a smile.
"You won't take my words seriously, so why not be honest with me?"
Hu Chen shook his head, "This is my mission, my task. This is the ultimate goal of our tribe... I won't tell you, just kill me."
Xu Qingyan lowered his head and looked at the other person, "Are you really not going to tell me? You are about to die, but you are still worried about so many things? And do you feel that the things you believed in the past... are not the right things."
Hu Chen's eyes were shaken, but he soon closed his eyes and sighed, "What is the right thing to do? What you believe in is the right thing to do. If I deny everything at this moment, I will be denying my entire life. No need to say more, just give me the last bit of dignity."
"Well, I'll help you."
Xu Qingyan didn't plan to waste any more words, he raised the sword in his hand high.
Then downward.
"puff!!"
Finally, I seemed to hear some sound.
That seems to be...
'I'm sorry, Yuanji.'
Xu Qingyan no longer looked at the corpse on the ground.
Instead, he put away his sword and turned around, walking towards the young woman who had stood up from under the tree.
There was still blood on the corner of his mouth. Pei Yu, who used to be so dazzling and could switch between being aloof and charming, could only be described as embarrassed now.
Not only was her hair messy, but her dress was also stained with countless blood, which was quite disgraceful.
"...What are you looking at?"
Pei Yu looked at Xu Qingyan's familiar, wanton gaze and frowned instinctively.
But now I really can't get angry, it seems like I am just thankful for surviving a disaster.
I must be crazy.
I actually thought of repaying this young man.
Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "How did Master Pei think of coming here?"
Pei Yu said angrily, "If I don't come, you will die, right?"
Xu Qingyan thought about it, "That may not be the case..."
"Asshole..." What an ungrateful asshole! Can't you just say something nice?
But soon I heard the boy's next words.
“But thank you anyway.”
Sudden tenderness always catches people off guard, and by the way, the beautiful smile on his face looks warm.
Pei Yu's cheeks instinctively felt a rise in temperature.
She looked away unnaturally.
"So have you achieved your reason for coming here?"
Xu Qingyan sighed slightly.
“I know some of it… but not all of it.”
"What is it?"
"Yes...wait."
Sudden.
Xu Qingyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and when he heard that the boy's voice was not right, Pei Yu also turned his eyes away from him.
Then, they saw those five familiar figures appear in the night.
Wearing almost the same Taoist clothing.
"Is... is it them?!"
Suddenly, Pei Yu recognized the identities of these five people. They were the Taoist priests he had seen in the palace before!
They also identified him as a witch who was in the same group as Hu Chen.
Xu Qingyan frowned as he watched the five smiling figures approaching. Under the cover of night, they were like silent hunters, and now they finally revealed their true colors.
"I was wondering before, where did these people go when they were not in the Taoist temple or the palace? It turns out they were waiting for us here... Are they reaping the benefits, or are there others behind the scenes?"
The goateed man in the lead gently held his beard with one hand and sighed.
"Excellent. You two almost ruined our several-year plan in just one night. I have to say it's really amazing."
Xu Qingyan smiled and looked at the few people.
"But I still fell behind you, so I can't say how powerful it is."
Xu Qingyan really didn't have much strength left now, and each of these five Taoists had a strong and rich aura, and their cultivation was at least around the Golden Core stage.
Now, Pei Yu and I are completely unable to resist, and whether we can escape is a huge problem.
Pei Yu's face also showed despair.
I didn't expect...it would come to this?
Is it true that my decision was wrong?
I shouldn't have trusted this man, shouldn't have trusted this boy, and I risked my life on impulse for no reason.
Even...I'm going to die together with this boy.
Is this considered a bad fate?
A shorter Taoist priest next to the goateed man said in a shrill voice:
"I told you that Hu Chen is unreliable, brother. We have to rely on ourselves. He really thinks he is the messenger chosen by God. He is so arrogant all the time... He deserves to die. He also wasted the ceremony..."
The man with the goatee, the man addressed as Big Brother, frowned.
"They are our tribesmen after all, don't say anything too harsh. Go ahead, kill them and take away Hu Chen's body."
"Yes."
The four people next to the man all dispersed, not to leave, but to surround the two people from different angles.
Pei Yu unconsciously moved closer to the boy beside him, and at this moment he did not even notice his own weakness.
Instinct reliance.
She whispered, "Is there any other way?"
Xu Qingyan sighed, "There is no other way. We have done our best and can only leave it to fate."
Pei Yu frowned and looked at Xu Qingyan.
"I don't believe in destiny, so even if I die, I will fight to the last moment."
Xu Qingyan blinked his eyes, "Then I will have no choice but to accompany Master Pei and become a pair of lovers in distress."
Pooh.
What kind of mandarin ducks are you...you're still taking advantage of me at this time?
But the woman was no longer in the mood to refute these.
She tried her best to raise her last breath. As she said, she wanted to fight to the end and find that tiny ray of hope.
Several people were approaching one after another, and the overwhelming aura surged, as if the air pressure alone could destroy the two people.
The short Taoist priest said with a grim smile.
"Let me eat this girl later. It's been a long time since I've eaten such juicy stuff... Well... Actually, this boy is not bad either. He's pretty and suits my taste."
Xu Qingyan felt a chill.
He frowned, then took a step forward, standing in front of Pei Yu.
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment and whispered, "What are you doing!"
Xu Qingyan didn't look back, but whispered, "I will try my best to tear open a hole for you. Whether you can survive depends on you."
Pei Yu was in a daze for a moment before he realized that this young man was actually... sacrificing himself to let him survive?
How could he be this kind of person?
Pei Yu felt that he was a selfish person, but at this moment he did not want to accept such "good intentions".
"No need, get out of here!"
Xu Qingyan did not answer, but stayed close to him.
The Taoist priests who saw this scene all showed strange expressions.
The eldest man shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a matter of who dies first. Who are you trying to please by being so romantic? There's no hope..."
"Oh, is it so?"
This sentence was not said by Xu Qingyan.
Not even Pei Yu.
