"I Love You"
The Demonic Yuan Power began to surge and churn. Suddenly freed from the Chaos Power, almost all the Demonic Yuan Power was unable to adapt, but soon it excitedly rushed into Zhang Xingfeng's meridians...
It was getting dark...
A wind has begun to blow...
The dozens of bandits looked at ***Yan with lewd smiles.
Bloodshed... The world darkened, and the bandits fell silent, motionless, their expressions frozen as if time had stopped, only a hidden fear lurking deep in their eyes.
"Pfft!" In an instant, all the bandits turned into a bloody mist, and the entire mountain path became a world of blood. When ***Yan saw this scene, she was stunned, and the fear in her heart did not diminish at all.
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng..." ***Yan cried out in her heart. In order to find Zhang Xingfeng, she went straight to the capital, but unfortunately she missed Zhang Xingfeng completely and was surrounded by bandits. She almost died at the hands of these bandits, but now it seems that the situation is not good either. Just now, dozens of bandits turned into blood mist in an instant, which filled ***Yan with fear.
Suddenly, Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately looked into the blood mist.
His white robes were completely stained crimson by the blood mist and his own blood, only his silver-white hair remained untouched, its luster unaffected by the blood mist. His eyes were filled with deep affection, regret... remorse... and a profound love!
The silver hair suddenly shone brightly, and the blood mist between Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan disappeared.
"Yu Yan, I love you!" Zhang Xingfeng looked at Yu Yan, his gaze completely focused on Yu Yan. Even if mountains collapsed and seas shattered, it would not affect Zhang Xingfeng at this moment.
The Demonic Yuan Power within his body roared... damaging Zhang Xingfeng's meridians and nerves. Yet, the expression on Zhang Xingfeng's face remained unchanged, still so deeply affectionate. It was as if the Demonic Yuan Power wasn't destroying his body at this moment.
Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Xingfeng. Her mind went completely blank. "Is this true? He loves me, Brother Feng said he loves me, he said he has me..."
Zhang Xingfeng approached Yu Yan, his expression a mixture of pain, regret, and deep affection. "Yu Yan, I love you... I only now realize how much I love you... When I first learned you loved me, I deceived myself, I lied to myself, and told myself I treated you like a little sister. It wasn't until these ten days away from you that I realized I can't live without you!"
"Ten days, ten ghostly days, ten days in a daze. I don't know how I got through them. I felt like I had no soul. My expression didn't even change; it was always that dry smile. For ten days, I slept at the inn at night and ate at the restaurant during the day. Other than that, all I knew was to walk, walk on my own two feet... walk without feeling... I had forgotten time, forgotten how to think. I was no longer human; I was like a soulless puppet. Until that day, in that restaurant."
"It was that heartbroken top Top Scholar, it was him, he woke me up. Cherish the people in front of you, don't have regrets! Cherish the people in front of you, only now did I realize that I can't live in the past forever, I can't go on like this forever. I love Rou, but I also love you just as deeply. I know that if I lose you, I will have no soul. Do you know? When I looked for you, I felt that you were in danger... In that instant, I thought of not having regrets. I regretted it, I was afraid, I was really worried that I would have regrets. I was really worried, very afraid. I kept accelerating, kept clapping, I even forgot that I was Teleportation. I only knew how to accelerate, accelerate frantically, accelerate recklessly..."
***Yan's eyes were shrouded in tears as she looked at Zhang Xingfeng and listened to Zhang Xingfeng words. ***Yan cried, a silent cry that was both painful and blissful.
"I saw you, really, I saw you. In that instant, my world seemed to come alive with color, with a soul. I know my love for you has penetrated to the very core of my being. Yu Yan, I don't want regrets, really, I don't want any, I'm even afraid. Now, right now, I'm going to tell you!"
Zhang Xingfeng firmly held Yu Yan's shoulders with both hands, murmuring affectionately, "Yu Yan, I love you... I love you... I love you... I love you..." Zhang Xingfeng kept saying it, over and over again. He only knew that he wanted to express all his feelings, but he only knew that what he said was not enough, and could not express even a fraction of his feelings.
***Yan sobbed, her face radiating a dazzling happiness. Her cries were loud, incredibly loud. ***As Zhang Xingfeng kept saying "I love you," her sobs grew louder and louder.
It was as if she had to open an inn at the age of thirteen, fight with thugs and hooligans, outmaneuver unscrupulous waiters, and outwit merchants... All the pain and sorrow had to be cried out, like a wronged child crying to a loved one. ***Yan cried and cried and cried.
Zhang Xingfeng felt heartbroken and trembled at the sight of her crying.
Zhang Xingfeng pulled Yu Yan into a tight embrace, leaving no space between them, synchronizing his heartbeat with hers, sharing her pain...
Yu Yan's voice softened as she nestled quietly in Zhang Xingfeng's arms. Here, she felt peace and weariness; this was her haven.
Suddenly, Yu Yan raised her head and looked up at Zhang Xingfeng her arms, her eyes filled with deep affection.
"Brother Feng, what happened to you?" Yan asked in a panic. She finally realized that the bloodstains on Zhang Xingfeng's body were not just from the blood mist, but mostly from Zhang Xingfeng's own blood. She had seen bloodstains on Zhang Xingfeng's hands and chest.
"It's nothing, don't worry!" Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. With a surge of energy, the bloodstains on his body completely disappeared, and the tiny blood vessels could no longer be seen to have burst open.
***Yan saw that there was no blood on her lover's body and that he didn't seem to have any major wounds, so she felt much more at ease.
***Yan suddenly felt Zhang Xingfeng's body trembling and hurriedly looked up. At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng's face suddenly turned pale, sickly ashen.
"Brother Feng!" Yan cried out in terror. In her heart, Zhang Xingfeng was invincible. How could this happen? Her mind was in complete chaos, and she had no idea what to do.
"Yu Yan, don't worry. It's nothing. You stay here and don't move. I need to cultivate for a bit!" Zhang Xingfeng knew things were going badly; the Demonic Yuan Power within his body was already rebelling.
As he spoke, he drew two lines with his hands, one to protect *** Yan and the other to isolate himself from the outside world.
"Yu Yan, there's a barrier around you. I've imbued it with your aura, and only you can enter and exit! If any danger arises, stay inside. I need to cultivate now, so don't worry, it might take me a while!"
While using the Chaos Power to exert pressure, Zhang Xingfeng gave some instructions to *** Yan.
After saying that, he immediately entered the forbidden area and began cultivating. Meanwhile, Di Yan, standing to the side, nervously watched Zhang Xingfeng within the forbidden area he had set up for her.
At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng's body had begun to turn completely red, and ***Yan immediately started to panic. Suddenly! White flames erupted from Zhang Xingfeng's fiery red body. This terrified ***Yan; she thought Zhang Xingfeng would be burned to death by the fire. But after a while, she discovered that Zhang Xingfeng was in the fire without any discomfort, and his skin was completely unaffected.
Zhang Xingfeng had no desire to die at this moment. He had gone mad earlier, disregarding all Demonic Yuan Power and forcibly using the Chaos Power to Teleportation, but now that he had Yu Yan and had someone to care about, he no longer wanted to die.
But it seemed too late. The Demonic Yuan Power had already penetrated deep into the meridians and muscles, making it very difficult to remove.
The Chaos Power frantically tried to squeeze the Demonic Yuan Power, but the Demonic Yuan Power was completely unaffected. It seemed to be rooted in the meridians. Zhang Xingfeng immediately made the Six-Flavor True Fire burn wildly, but most of the Demonic Yuan Power had already begun to merge into Zhang Xingfeng's meridians and muscles, so the Six-Flavor True Fire could not play a significant role at all.
If these Demonic Yuan Power Demonic Yuan Power are not eliminated now, they will completely corrode Zhang Xingfeng's meridians and destroy his body. Although the meridians around Zhang Xingfeng's Purple Gold Yuan Venerable have become energy channels, and if this continues, Zhang Xingfeng can regenerate various parts of his body using the special ability of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable, the energy consumed is far beyond what Zhang Xingfeng can provide at this time. Moreover, the strength of the regenerated Avatar is nowhere near that of the original body that has undergone various trials.
Therefore, Zhang Xingfeng decided that he must save his body.
"Fine, since you're all so unrepentant, then don't blame me!" Zhang Xingfeng had already made up his mind; he would use his most precious wisp of heavenly fire to annihilate these guys.
The preciousness of the Heavenly Fire is self-evident. Even if the Demonic Yuan Power were destroyed, the Heavenly Fire might also disappear due to excessive depletion. However, Zhang Xingfeng chose the Heavenly Fire over his powerful physique, because it is easier to regenerate the Heavenly Fire than to cultivate his physical body.
Zhang Xingfeng immediately controlled the Heavenly Fire within the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable. The Heavenly Fire slowly emerged from his body. Zhang Xingfeng smiled because as soon as the Heavenly Fire appeared, the nearby Demonic Yuan Power immediately disappeared! The Heavenly Fire caused the Demonic Yuan Power to vanish simply by approaching. Zhang Xingfeng finally realized that although the Heavenly Fire was only one level higher than the Six-Flavor True Fire, the difference in power was simply too great.
Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng was a little frightened. He was shocked to find that as the Heavenly Fire came out of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable, the almost crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire in the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable also came out. They were completely out of Zhang Xingfeng's control. Wherever the Heavenly Fire went, they went too.
The terror of the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire is unimaginable; the liquid Six-Flavor True Fire on the surface of the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire alone completely annihilated the Demonic Yuan Power.
The crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire had long been rooted in Zhang Xingfeng's Purple Gold Yuan Venerable. Now, it was actually attracted out by the Heavenly Fire, which made Zhang Xingfeng worry that the energy of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable might decrease. But to his surprise, the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable did not change at all.
"Could it be that the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire has no effect on the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable?" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly had this thought.
"Call!"
Within Zhang Xingfeng's body, whenever the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire by, it would immediately begin to emerge from that point. As more and more of the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire and Heavenly Fire passed through the meridians, the Six-Flavor True Fire within Zhang Xingfeng's body flourished like never before, frantically unleashing its powerful energy, and his physical body was once again tempered in the intense Six-Flavor True Fire.
The Demonic Yuan Power seemed to possess sentience and began to feel fear, as if it knew its end was near. It frantically attacked every part of Zhang Xingfeng's body. However, at this moment Six-Flavor True Fire within Zhang Xingfeng's body was already spreading like Prairie Fire, causing a great stir in the omniscient realm.
The Demonic Yuan Power was horrified to discover that the Six-Flavor True Fire was much stronger than before. In the past, the Six-Flavor True Fire had hardly caused them any harm, but now the damage was more than ten times stronger.
Zhang Xingfeng was unaware that the power of the Six-Flavor True Fire had increased exponentially due to the amplification of the Heavenly Fire and the crystallized Six-Flavor True Fire! Most importantly, when Zhang Xingfeng reached the early stage of the Soul Separation realm in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable had already Soul Separation to absorb the Six-Flavor True Fire. The amount of Six-Flavor True Fire absorbed at that time was so great that it even caused the sea of fire to churn!
But the strangest thing was that Zhang Xingfeng did not break through again at that time. With the energy of the Six-Flavor True Fire, Zhang Xingfeng could have even reached the Avatar stage! But Zhang Xingfeng was still in the early stage of the Soul Separation.
Zhang Xingfeng, who possesses the Innate Fire Spirit Body, absorbed countless Six-Flavor True Fire, but only a small amount actually had any effect. Almost all of them were stored as crystals until now, and many more remained inside Zhang Xingfeng's body, not being fully absorbed. It was only now, under the influence of the Heavenly Fire, that Zhang Xingfeng began to absorb the Six-Flavor True Fire.
The energy of the Six-Flavor True Fire grew stronger and stronger.
The Demonic Yuan Power disappeared, vanishing into the boundless Six-Flavor True Fire. The Heavenly Fire also began to return to the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable. Much of the Six-Flavor True Fire crystal had melted, with only three-quarters of the original amount returning to the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable's body.
The Six-Flavor True Fire began to burn wildly...
At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng's body was completely engulfed in fire, every part of him was covered in flames, and none of Zhang Xingfeng organs were visible anymore; it was all fire, boundless fire, endless fire...
Zhang Xingfeng has been completely transformed into fire!
Suddenly, the firelight blazed brightly, even momentarily darkening the sky. But the light vanished in an instant.
Zhang Xingfeng opened his eyes with a slight smile on his face. This time, he had turned misfortune into blessing, absorbing even more Six-Flavor True Fire energy. He had now reached the mid-stage of the Soul Separation realm, and most importantly, his body had become even stronger.
With a thought, both prohibitions disappeared.
Looking at Yu Yan's excited face and her pale complexion, Zhang Xingfeng felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that Yu Yan must have been worried for a long time, but he was also instantly moved.
"Yu Yan!" As if he had experienced a cycle of life and death, Zhang Xingfeng gazed into Yu Yan's moist eyes and called out softly.
