The White Robe Stained Red (2)

Li Wei never dreamed that Xue Lian'er would shield him from that deadly crimson light at that critical moment. Seeing Xue Lian'er's pale face and the wound on her chest, Li Wei felt a surge of heat rush to his head.

"Fuck your mother!" Li Wei's eyes instantly turned red. He glanced at Guiguzi, who had succeeded, and wished he could devour him alive. However, due to his rage, he suddenly unleashed the ultimate power of the 5th Dan realm. With a Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, he appeared in front of Guiguzi. Then, to the latter's somewhat astonishment, Li Wei threw a punch.

"Notification: Your Shockwave Fist has been upgraded to level 10!"

Li Wei's previously stagnant Shockwave Fist suddenly upgraded at this crucial moment. Coupled with his rage, the power of Li Wei's punch was terrifying. Boom! Crack! The space in front of Li Wei was completely shattered. Guiguzi also spat out another mouthful of blood under the force of this punch. However, his combat strength was already higher than Li Wei's. Although he had been freed from his demonic state, he was still beyond Li Wei's ability to deal with.

"Hmph, it's better that the traitor is dead. If you can't bear to part with her, then go to the Yellow Springs with her!" Guiguzi's face was crazed. Although he was seriously injured, he was prepared to throw caution to the wind and activated the Demon Pill to detonate it.

This demonic core may seem small, but it is imbued with extreme demonic energy, making it more than ten times stronger than an ordinary inner core. Therefore, if it were detonated, its power could level everything within a thousand miles.

Yu Wentuo and Dugu Ningke, who were in the distance, were also shocked when they saw this. Fortunately, Yu Wentuo reacted quickly. He first reached out to support Xue Lian'er, and then forcefully threw the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand to Li Wei.

"Young brother, take this sword. The gap between your cultivation and that demonic cultivator's is too great, so this sword is the only way to make up for it..."

The Xuanyuan Sword was simply tossed in front of Li Wei. Li Wei reached out and caught the sword, immediately feeling a surge of power flowing from the hilt throughout his body.

In an instant, Li Wei felt that his combat strength had increased significantly.

At this moment, Li Wei felt no excitement whatsoever. Even though he held the Xuanyuan Sword he had always dreamed of in his hand, he was still the same. All he wanted to do was kill Guiguzi as soon as possible and then go to save Xue Lian'er.

Seeing Li Wei catch the sword, Yu Wentuo breathed a sigh of relief. He had been exhausted after unleashing the golden sword light, and Li Wei would certainly be no match for Guiguzi without the Xuanyuan Sword. That's why he threw the sword, hoping that Li Wei could stop the evil Daoist.

With the Xuanyuan Sword, Li Wei's combat power was forcibly boosted to S3. He sneered and launched an attack using his sword skills.

Li Wei's martial arts have reached the level of a grandmaster, especially his swordsmanship, which is his forte. From the basic swordsmanship at the beginning, to the later sword technique 'Upper Clear Sword Marrow', and then to the later Sword-Control Art and Ten Thousand Swords Art, it can be said that Li Wei is a genuine master swordsman. In some ways, he has even surpassed Yu Wentuo in the art of swordsmanship.

Therefore, Li Wei, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, immediately unleashed a powerful sword technique, aiming to kill Guiguzi in the shortest possible time.

Guiguzi was already seriously injured, and was casting a spell, so Li Wei got close to him. Moreover, Li Wei was wielding the divine weapon Xuanyuan Sword, so Guiguzi had no ability to resist and was stabbed in the abdomen.

"This sword strike is for Lian'er!" Li Wei said as he swiftly unleashed his sword skills. The sword flashed and the wind howled. In an instant, the unsuspecting Guiguzi was cleaved into dozens of pieces by the Xuanyuan Sword in Li Wei's hand.

At this moment, Guiguzi's physical body was destroyed, and he was already dead. However, Li Wei was not about to let him go so easily. He quickly formed hand seals and suddenly spewed a burst of flames at the pieces of corpse.

This move was precisely the 'Fire Dragon Breath' that Li Wei derived from the Dragon Power!

The blazing flames startled Guiguzi, causing him to completely disappear from Li Wei's sight. Strangely, the demonic pill that Guiguzi spat out remained unharmed by the flames, a truly miraculous sight.

Li Wei glanced at the demonic pill, then opened his mouth and spat out a stream of light that enveloped the pill. The light then entered his mouth, and Li Wei put the demonic pill away.

He then appeared in a flash beside Xue Lian'er and bent down to check her injuries.

At this moment, the crisis had passed, but Li Wei's heart sank deeper and deeper.

All because of Xue Lian'er's injury, which was an incurable and fatal one. Her heart had been pierced, and the crimson light still remained in Xue Lian'er's body, constantly corroding her.

At this moment, she was on the verge of death when she saw Li Wei, and she showed a slight smile.

That one smile shattered Li Wei's heart in an instant.

She was not afraid, not even of her impending death; she only smiled with relief when she saw that Li Wei was safe and sound.

It seemed that Li Wei was everything to her, something more important than her own life.

"Brother Wei... I'm so glad you're alright. I'm afraid Lian'er won't make it. Just promise Lian'er you won't cry, okay?" Xue Lian'er said weakly, still with a smile on her face.

She said this because she noticed that Li Wei's eyes were a little moist.

Upon hearing Xue Lian'er's words, Li Wei forcefully suppressed the tears welling up in his eyes. At this moment, Li Wei revealed an expression even more painful than crying, and nodded.

"That's it! I can save her! I must save her!"

Immediately, Li Wei hurriedly searched his storage space, hoping to find some Cure medicine, or even just Zhang Qiang healing card.

However, the battle just now has used up all the cards.

How so?

"There should still be time to make a card now, right?" Li Wei thought to himself. He immediately took out a blank card and was about to start making one when Xue Lian'er Li Wei wrist.

"Brother Wei, Lian'er wants to ask you a question, okay?"

Li Wei continued making cards without stopping, saying, "Lian'er, don't speak. Ask me after I've healed you. Don't worry, I'll answer whatever you ask then!"

Blood began to seep from the corner of Xue Lian'er's mouth. She coughed and said, "No, I want to ask now, you... you're Lian'er's Brother Wei, right?"

At this point, Li Wei couldn't say anything else. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I am Wei Bin, your Brother Wei. Okay, Lian'er, the card will be ready soon. Hang in there a little longer!"

Xue Lian'er nodded contentedly, then said softly, "Back then, when Lian'er was just a little fox who had just gained sentience, it was you who saved Lian'er. It was you who taught Lian'er so much. Lian'er still remember the poem you wrote for Lian'er back then, 'Vast mountains stretch for ten thousand miles, all beings forget the years, originally without sorrow or resentment, where does joy and sorrow come from!' Could you... read it to Lian'er now..."

Xue Lian'er's voice grew even weaker, and cold sweat broke out on Li Wei's face. He hurriedly began making cards, and just then, the hand that had been gripping his wrist suddenly loosened and fell to his side.

Li Wei froze instantly.

The card was almost finished, but Xue Lian'er was lifeless. Li Wei, not believing it, checked her pulse and confirmed the fact.

"Impossible!"

Li Wei continued making the healing card. A minute later, the card was completed, and without any delay, Li Wei cast the card on Xue Lian'er.

However, when the beam of light that the card transformed into entered Xue Lian'er's body, nothing happened.

She didn't wake up, didn't open her eyes again, but just lay there motionless as if asleep, wearing the white dress stained red.

"Dead?"

Li Wei murmured, trying to remain calm, yet feeling as if there was a cork stuck in his throat, preventing him from venting.

"She's just a character in the mission world... just a character... just a character..." Li Wei kept telling himself.

Yu Wentuo and Dugu Ningke, who were standing to the side, were also taken aback by this turn of events and stood there stunned. At this moment, the Green Conch flew over from a distance. It first looked at Xue Lian'er, who looked calm and seemed to be asleep, and then patted Li Wei on the shoulder.

She's gone!

"I know!" Li Wei's voice was calm, but he picked up Xue Lian'er's body, glanced at Green Conch, and said, "Fortunately, she still has a body. As long as we go back to the level seven environment and find the Archangel race, we can revive her, hehe!"

Li Wei had just finished speaking when he froze. At that moment, Xue Lian'er's body began to disintegrate, turning into countless red particles. Before Li Wei could react, Xue Lian'er's corpse completely disintegrated into a sky full of red particles, which then gradually dissipated. However, the particles circled around Li Wei's body a few times before gradually disappearing, as if someone who was very attached to Li Wei was reluctant to leave.

"This..." Green Conch was clearly not in a hurry to react, but Dugu Ningke said, "She was hit by the crimson light emitted by the demonic pill, so her body was completely devoured by that crimson light, along with her soul, and she perished completely... You should accept my condolences!"

Li Wei quietly returned to Chishui Town. He used the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand as a threat, threatening Yu Wentuo not to harm the Chishui Town. The latter agreed because Li Wei had helped him a great deal and even said that Li Wei was his savior.

The crisis in Chishui Town has been resolved. Once the mission deadline is reached in three days, you can return to Shadow Street.

Upon seeing his many companions, Li Wei simply said that he needed to rest and went into his room.

Inside the room, Li Wei sat quietly on the wooden bench, recalling his negotiation with Yu Wentuo. Clearly, Dugu Ningke, after shedding her disguise, had helped him a great deal. It could be said that she deserved the most credit for resolving the crisis in Chishui Town.

Now, the task is basically done. We just need to wait for the time limit to pass before we can complete the task and return.

Li Wei tried his best not to think about Xue Lian'er, but some things are beyond the control of will.

A knock came at the door, and Zheng Yutong entered, carrying a bowl of steaming rice porridge. After placing the porridge on the table, she was surprised to find Li Wei with tears in his eyes.
