Sword Mountain).
Sword Elder drank his wine, silently watching the group of young people below the mountain, remaining silent for a long time...
It's probably because it reminded me of those peaceful times.
Back then, Gu Xingyun was still around... and he wasn't that tired. Now, with the world on the verge of collapse, he too is about to embark on that path of no return.
"Heh... heh hahaha."
"Elder Gu, you've schemed your whole life, but you didn't include me in your calculations. Do you just want me to die peacefully of old age?"
"I don't want to... The younger generation is all fighting now, and I'm just an old man about to die. If I don't go, do you think I'm a coward?"
Sword Elder drank alone, muttering to himself as if in a madman, but remained seated without moving. He smiled and then gripped the cane stuck to the side, his gaze fixed on a distant direction like that of a gazelle. He laughed loudly before getting up.
His body was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
His aura surged wildly, his words were sharp as swords, and he bowed slightly towards the Sword Mountain peak.
"Today, there is no more Sword Ancestor."
"Together with all the sword cultivators, we will face the Eerie Lord."
"During this time, my mind has been clear, and being with you has been very pleasant."
"This old Jian Wuqing; I beg the sword ancestors to lend me their swords. I will never return from this journey..."
In an instant, sword energy soared into the sky from the summit of Sword Mountain.
The dark clouds were dispelled.
Countless broken blades rose into the air and gradually merged into one.
Sword Elder grabbed the hilt of the sword and vanished in a blur.
This commotion naturally alerted the group of sword cultivators at the foot of the mountain.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Sword Ancestor as he ascends to immortality!"
May Human Race be safe and sound!
Jianping sat on a tranquil lake, silent for a long time. His hand holding the sword trembled slightly, proving that his state of mind was far from calm.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Jian En's voice came through.
"Master has drawn his sword."
"We should head to Dawn Pass too."
Jianping opened his eyes and stared at his reflection in the water for a long time without saying a word.
He was wondering why things had come to this.
If Canghai Pass had held off all the enemies himself, would Li Chen have avoided becoming the Eerie Lord, and would the world have turned out differently? Why is that...?
"I don't understand... I remain silent... If this is Li Chen's Fate, I hope we can meet again."
"Then, I will kill you with my own hands."
"It ends everything."
Jian En, who was standing to the side, shook his head slightly.
He knew that when Elder Gu placed Jianping beside Li Chen, they naturally established a deep friendship. However, now that their positions had changed, they had become enemies.
This might also be part of the strategy set up by Elder Gu back then.
The method used to restrict Li Chen.
But does Li Chen know this?
Perhaps they already know, but simply haven't met with Jianping yet...
Now, the only thing that can restrain Li Chen is that feeling, that bond. They are all gambling, betting that Li Chen will cherish this feeling, but no one knows that Li Chen's memory is fading away, until the day he forgets everyone. At that moment, he will be able to kill anyone, leaving only that belief in ascending to godhood.
Jian En said, "Let's go. Dawn Pass is currently suffering greatly."
"The Daoist Family have now descended the mountain to save the world; we sword cultivators should go and offer our support."
Jianping took one last look at the still, calm lake before slowly walking away.
I probably won't be coming back.
Eerie Monsters are rioting near the outer city wall of Shenzhou City.
Su Xian unleashed her magic arrays as if they were free, but as soon as one group was dispersed, another group appeared, seemingly endless.
Some Eerie Monsters have already stormed into the city.
Explosions echoed throughout Shenzhou City.
Su Xian hovered in the air, watching the Sequence User fighting, and murmured, "No, if this continues, even if we can defend the city walls, the residents of Shenzhou City will all die."
"A forbidden spell needs to be used."
But... that still can't change the status quo.
"Unless they can completely annihilate the Eerie Tide." But this idea is wishful thinking; the Eerie Monsters in the Eerie Tide all come from the outside world. How can they possibly kill them all?
If we had that power, this world would have been peaceful long ago.
Even powerful individuals in the Wasteland Realms are not guaranteed to protect themselves, let alone these residents.
With a sigh, Su Xian activated a healing array in her hand and addressed the Sequence User below who were persevering, saying, "The Daoist Family and Fox Family's reinforcements are on their way. Hold on, as long as we have a little longer, we still have hope."
Just as he was speaking, two figures slowly emerged from the Black Mist outside the city.
Disaster and desire both stepped into this conflict.
Zai grinned wildly, then slammed the scepter in his hand against the ground. Eerie Monsters cleared a path for him, and he strode upwards, stepping on their heads.
Su Xian's expression changed drastically. Wasn't this the Seven Sins from the Sinful Pass before?
Is he still alive?
And it seems they've joined Li Chen's camp?
He might not be afraid of ordinary Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters, but this one possesses intelligence, and the aura emanating from the one beside him, Desire, is also at the Calamity Realm.
How could he possibly block that?
What should we use to block it?
A resolute glint flashed in Su Xian's eyes. She touched the ring on her ring finger, hesitated for a few seconds, took a step forward, and closed her eyes.
"Sorry, running away isn't my style."
"The wedding... is too late."
In an instant, his body was covered in demonic armor, and his figure became like a sharp sword, stopping the advance of the disaster.
On the same wall, in a Calamity Realm, a man wearing a hood and carrying a coffin larger than himself appeared on the city wall.
An aura of death arose spontaneously, and the countless Eerie Monsters on the entire wall instantly turned to ashes.
A foul wind blew by, pulling his hood down and Mu Hen a weathered man with a stubble-covered face, his aura of desolation no longer concealed.
"Su Xian, I'm here."
"Sorry, it's just a bit late."
After emerging from the Sinful Pass.
He reminisced about the past every day, but he had forgotten too much. He only regained all his memories through the Soul Coffin, but by then it was too late... too late for anything to be undone.
If I were there that day, would Li Chen have avoided embarking on this path of no return?
Will they ever be able to get together like they used to, eating barbecue and chatting about life?
But everything has changed now.
Mu Hen gripped the Soul Chain and crushed the surrounding Eerie Monsters, saying bitterly, "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened."
"Friends, brothers, how am I supposed to face this..."
A deep sense of sin permeates the entire story.
Mu Hen gazed at the figures, he suddenly snapped out of his daze, roared, and charged in.
The Boundary Stele slammed into a roaring Eerie Monsters, exploding instantly and killing the Eerie Monsters Calamity Realm a single blow.
This scene stunned many of the Sequence User.
Where did this powerful figure come from?
Only Su Xian saw that figure, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, indicating that her death was not yet imminent.
"Henzi, you've finally arrived."
