Hua Yi is a tree.
Holding her lover tightly, exchanging body heat freely, Tingyun's thoughts drifted freely, and she thought of her Fan Group again.
It's not that I'm in a hurry to become a literary girl and write light novels.
More than a creator, Tingyun is a businesswoman, and a rather wealthy one at that.
It seems that the Writing Contest has always been organized by the Group Leader [ [Name Redacted] ], and she is the one who invests all the funds. I can contribute money too!
It's not just about individuals; given that the Fan Group includes so many outstanding girls, it's feasible to come up with a plausible reason to persuade Lord Yukong to invest in the name of the Shipyacht Department.
Chapter 376 The Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry, Part Four
Scalegorge Rivers, Xianlong Dayu Hall.
Thousands of years ago, a Dragon Lord guided the Ancient Sea Water here to cover the mysterious root. The Xianzhou Luofu Dragon's Kin then had the responsibility of guarding the Undying Jianmu, and swore an oath with the Xianzhou people to become a member of the Xianzhou Alliance.
Later, the Dragon Master invited many master craftsmen, artisans, and apprentices to gather together to build the Xianlong Dayu Hall and set up a statue of the Dragon Lord to praise the Dragon Lord's achievements in guarding against the Plague's sacred relics in Xianzhou Luofu.
The stone sculpture, holding a long spear and standing on the waves, looked majestic, yet none of the people present ever looked away.
"I never imagined that after hundreds of years, the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry would be able to reunite."
Jing Yuan looked around at the other three and spoke loudly.
Although the name of the Xianlong Dayu Hall contains the word "hall," it is not an enclosed building. Instead, it is a vast stone platform with Dragon Lord statue in the center and towering stone walls on both sides, with murals depicting the seal of the Ambrosial Arbor by the Dragon's Kin.
In such a broad setting, Jing Yuan hoped to speak frankly and openly.
"Seven hundred years ago, we made a promise here that no matter how far we travel in the future, we would drink a cup of wine here together."
There were five people back then.
Jingliu put his blindfold back on to avoid seeing the faces of the others and triggering his Mara-struck.
Even so, memories of the past kept resurfacing, and hatred and anger were already building up.
There are only four people now.
"The abyss hangs empty, and the world turns like a whirlwind. Of the five of us, some have been reincarnated, some have wished for death but could not, some have become prisoners, and some... can no longer keep our promise."
Jing Yuan understood his mentor's meaning, and his eyes dimmed.
When that year came to such an end, the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry scattered to the winds, and their friendship vanished completely.
Even he, as a disciple, treated his master Jingliu with righteous indignation, leading the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry to attack him, and commanding the Divine Lightning-Lord to strike him down.
Having failed to repay his teacher's kindness, and now facing each other in arms, how can Jing Yuan find peace of mind?
If Master insists on going his own way and stands on the opposite side of the Xianzhou Alliance, General of the Divine Creation, bearing the weight of Xianzhou Luofu, will not be afraid to fight again.
However, during this turmoil, Jingliu fought against Hoolay in the Imprisonment Jail and did not become an enemy of Xianzhou, so Jing Yuan could not adopt the attitude of treating a traitor.
Dan Heng stood there silently, witnessing the reincarnation of Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
These past few days, he had promised Jing Yuan to help deal with the matter of Dragon Master of the Abiding colluding with Buli Ren to plot chaos, which had left him mentally and physically exhausted.
Now that Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry of the Clouds have reunited, the atmosphere has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Dan Heng feels that the Remembrance deep in his mind are distant and ethereal, as if they are nothingness.
Ying Xing, the genius craftsman among the Five Valiant Warriors, also arrived.
He transformed into Stellaron Hunter, abandoning his former name and becoming Blade, his eyes filled with nothing but killing intent and a desire for death.
"The culprit, Yin Yue, acted recklessly and attempted to use the Dragon Transformation Method to bring the dead back to life and change their form, thus causing a great disaster and disgracing the honor of the warriors."
Jingliu recounted the Yaoguai Incident, word by word.
"He followed the ominous Ying Xing, became arrogant and conceited, tainted the flesh and blood of the Abundance divine messengers, aided the moon-drinking reckless actions, and ultimately fell into becoming Undying Abomination."
After recounting the sins of Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae and Ying Xing, she did not forget herself.
" Jingliu, a sinner, has fallen into demonic possession, turned his sword against his comrades, and betrayed his alliance."
"I am Dan Heng, not the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae you speak of." Dan Heng said expressionlessly, trying to stop the emptiness in his heart from growing while refuting the statement and trying to strengthen his resolve.
" The Dragon Master of the Abiding clearly did not fully perform the molting process, leaving you with past Remembrance. You can never escape Drinking the Moon; he is your starting point, and the sins you have committed will accompany you on your path, like a shadow, until you pass away."
You can't take anything with you when you die, only your karma follows you.
Jingliu, through the blindfold, "looked" at Ren again.
"In the endless remainder of your life, you can only wander between killing and being killed, searching for your own burial place. Otherwise, you cannot dispel Ying Xing's regret."
It has merged with the flesh and blood of the Abundant Emissary of Abundance, possessing near-limitless self-healing abilities, but is often plagued by demonic influences and has little Remembrance of them.
Forgetting the meaning of life, it becomes a deadly weapon. Under the starry sky where countless short-lived species yearn for immortality, what the blade seeks is true death.
"Kill me."
"Your immortality is not something that can be easily dealt with. You cannot kill the flesh and blood of an immortal messenger with a human sword. Moreover, I do not lay a hand on those who are utterly devoid of life and await their slaughter."
"Then—draw your sword."
Blade's tone still lacked the will to survive.
Ying Xing's regret, along with the unknown influence of Mara-struck or something else, caused him to lose many of the emotions a normal person should have.
Perhaps it's numbness.
Jingliu had already drawn his sword.
Countless times, he let the blade experience this ultimate sword light, severing his body and tearing it to pieces, without ever considering the bond between comrades.
Bai Heng's remains were never found, and of the Five Valiant Warriors, only four remained.
The past exploits of breaking through enemy lines and the unparalleled achievements have all vanished like smoke. What remains are nothing more than walking corpses filled with hatred, regret, or numbness and confusion.
If he could kill Blade, and if Blade still sought death, Jingliu would actually kill him.
Seeing the Sword of Ice condense in Jingliu's hand, a madness emanated from his eyes, and a ferocious smile gradually appeared on his lips as he looked at Dan Heng.
"And you, Yinyue, stop hiding."
Murderous intent.
Without the slightest concealment or reservation, a murderous intent swept over Dan Heng.
He wanted to commit suicide, and he also wanted to kill me.
Dan Heng clearly realized this, understanding that he could not possibly contend with the blade with just a spear, and that he had to draw upon the power belonging to Lord Yin Yue 873.
"..."
Jingliu, Ren, and Dan Heng, three of the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry, are already at each other's throats, ready to slaughter one another.
Jing Yuan was unable to do anything befitting the prestige of the Divine Strategy. A sense of powerlessness swept through his body, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
He can't do anything.
It was the same back then, and it is the same now that I am Emperor's Bow Heavenly General.
Am I late?
Until a voice rang out, Jing Yuan's dull eyes regained their light, the sword intent brewing in the Jingliu temporarily dissipated, Dan Heng's expression relaxed, and even the blade turned its head back.
Good afternoon, everyone.
"You've finally arrived."
Jing Yuan rallied his spirits and gestured subtly towards the approaching figure, who was nominally Nameless but in reality a divine messenger personally appointed by the Emperor.
Hua Yi returned a reassuring look.
"The atmosphere seems a bit tense? No problem, I'll think of a way to provide you with some psychological support."
His voice was gentle, and he had a friendly smile on his face.
He made eye contact with each person present and nodded in greeting.
Then, Hua Yi raised his hand, palm up, four fingers bent, only the index finger extended, and beckoned to everyone.
"I see you all need to vent, let's have a fight first—I'll take on the whole bunch of you."
Chapter 377 Hua Yi alone Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry.
The scene fell silent instantly.
Hua Yi revealed the Godfall Sword and the Supreme Guardian's Lance in his hands, and power rose up, covering the Xianlong Dayu Hall with a kind of pressure, Ancient Sea of Waves stirred up waves without wind.
He was serious.
Ren's face showed madness, Dan Heng's expression was inscrutable, and Jingliu stood there silently.
General of the Divine Creation Jing Yuan of the Shence Army looked around, trying to find a suitable place to lie down.
That's right! He was prepared for Hua Yi to use the same trick again and forcibly borrow the Lightning-Lord.
In theory, Jing Yuan felt that the intensity of the battle shouldn't be too exaggerated, like the previous tribulation in Xianzhou Luofu, which instantly drained him of his strength.
But it's always good to be prepared.
General of the Divine Creation was still in a weak state and had not yet recovered. Compared to when he was acting as a dam to withstand the erosion of the Ambrosial Arbor and had to suppress the Stellaron, he was much more optimistic, but he was far from being at his peak.
Even though he might collapse at any moment, Jing Yuan's lips curled up in a smile.
The atmosphere had changed with his arrival.
boom!
Hua Yi stepped forward, Xianlong Dayu Hall remained undamaged, but the ancient sea outside surged with towering Giant Waves.
Surrounded by surging waves, the figure of a person was celebrating in the land where the Dragon's Kin had lived for generations, even though they were not Vidyadhara.
" Dan Heng, there is no need to worry about the power hidden within you. Whether it is something you have cultivated in this life or something left over from your previous life, it is yours. It has no inherent good or evil. Whether it is good or bad is entirely up to you."
"Blade, you're immortal, right? I just happen to need a practice punching bag, so you'd better take the hits."
" Jingliu, I've long wanted to experience the sword techniques of Flawless Light firsthand, but this ice sword looks a bit fragile. How about I handcraft another sword for you to use?"
As Hua Yi called out names one by one, whether it was to help Dan Heng resolve his inner conflict, to provoke Ren, or even to enthusiastically borrow a sword from Jingliu, the essence of it was to let them fight without restraint. Jing Yuan's lips twitched.
Seeing him looking at him, the Shogun quickly stepped back.
"My old injury has not yet healed, and I have been overworked with paperwork for days. I am weak and frail and cannot accompany you. I will just watch you all show your prowess from the sidelines."
Hua Yi nodded, and even though he was facing the blade that had already attacked first, he still had time to exchange glances with Jing Yuan.
This reaction drove the swordsman, who had abandoned his blade, even more mad.
He poured all his fragmented dreams and endless regrets into the sword in his hand!
Even if the current Blade is not a sword fanatic who lives and dies for the sword, he still deserves to be called the Sword Demon.
A crimson sword aura, like that of the red spider lily, surged forth, unleashing hundreds upon hundreds of strikes in an instant, hurtling towards the people gathered around Ancient Sea of Waves.
Hua Yi neither dodged nor evaded. Facing the incoming blood sword, his eyes flashed, and the churning ancient sea beneath his feet actually pressed down on Dan Heng in the distance.
Only when the blade's sword was close did Hua Yi swing the Godfall Sword. The movement, though not large, possessed the immense power to shatter mountains Mountain Breaking, breaking through all laws with a single force and blocking all the endless slashes.
Then, attack!
The blazing flames of the Burning Divine Court enveloped the Crimson Greatsword, which Hua Yi wielded, slashing down at the blade with unimaginable speed and force.
Flames bloomed amidst the red spider lilies, their extreme heat rising and brushing against the blade's cheek.
Its hidden sharpness, coupled with a burning, stinging sensation, made him tremble with joy.
"Good, good timing!"
"At this moment, you should say something like 'listen,' something 'extinct,' something 'dead silence,' which would suit you perfectly."
Being distracted during battle is a major taboo, especially since Hua Yi delivered his lines with considerable emotion.
However, the blade failed to penetrate the crimson sword light.
After repeated clashes, the two swords locked in combat, his hands trembling from the frantic exertion and extreme excitement.
Hua Yi began to exert force with his right hand, which was gripping the Godfall Sword.
The next moment, a violent shockwave, carrying the blade that had been knocked away, exploded with a deafening roar, splitting the Ancient Sea of Waves apart.
