Jianxin stood dejectedly in the void, his eyes empty and lifeless, muttering to himself, "Why...?"
The voice trembled, filled with endless pain and confusion.
In the past, whenever he encountered dire straits, his master would always appear to help him. However, this time, that figure did not appear.
A sense of loss welled up inside me.
He couldn't understand why that figure hadn't appeared this time.
Why?
Could it be... that Master has encountered some trouble?
hehe.
Jianxin gave a self-deprecating laugh.
With a master as powerful as him, what trouble could he possibly encounter?
Bai Luo Xue looked at Jianxin, biting her lip tightly, her eyes filled with heartache. She wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how.
Chu Yu sneered, "If you're this useless, your master must be useless too."
Upon hearing Chu Yu's words, Jianxin glared at him, his face ashen and his eyes wide with fury. "Shut up! How dare you slander my master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a beam of sword light and charged towards Chu Yu, his boundless killing intent and rage spreading across the entire sky.
At this moment, Jianxin was furious beyond measure!
Seeing this, Bai Luo Xue's expression changed, "No!"
Chu Yu's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a hint of disdain. "With your current state, you think you're worthy of fighting me?"
He gripped the spear tightly in his right hand and thrust it out swiftly. The spear tip pierced through space and time, emitting a sharp, violent sound. It contained extremely terrifying Spear Dao power, and everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was instantly annihilated by its residual force.
Jianxin's eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his right arm were bulging, and his whole body was radiating surging anger and killing intent that was almost tangible.
Faced with Chu Yu's shot, he roared and raised the Light Scar Sword high, the blade of which immediately burst forth with a dazzling light.
The next moment!
Jianxin slashed down with the force of a thunderbolt!
Return to One!
This sword strike contained boundless anger, confusion, and resentment; he seemed to want to unleash all these emotions within this single strike.
Boom!
The sword and spear clashed violently, instantly unleashing a terrifying roar, and a powerful shockwave swept outwards. The golden-armored warriors around them paled and retreated hastily, moving far away from the area.
Click!
At that moment, the sharp Sword Intent shattered like fragile glass under the force of the spear.
Jianxin felt an immense force strike him, and the Light Scar Sword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp. Finally, his body was flung away like a broken kite.
Along the way, his body cracked open, forming a spider web shape, and bright red blood flowed from the cracks, completely staining him with blood. Then he fell heavily to the ground.
Chu Yu looked at Jianxin and sneered, "That's it? Trash."
Jianxin gritted his teeth, bracing himself with his hands on the ground as he struggled to lift his body. However, the severe blow he had just received had left him with extremely serious injuries. Every movement he made brought him excruciating pain.
Jianxin's legs trembled, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't stand up. His once resolute face was now filled with pain, helplessness, and resentment.
Bai Luo Xue appeared beside Jianxin at this moment. Looking at Jianxin, she trembled uncontrollably, and tears had already covered her face.
She wanted to reach out and pick Jianxin up.
But just then, Chu Yu suddenly said coldly, "Come with me."
Bai Luo Xue trembled all over, her lips were bitten until they bled, and drops of blood slid down her cheeks. Her eyes gradually dimmed, and her face was filled with pain.
Jianxin looked at Bai Luo Xue, and with all his might, shook his head slightly, saying, "No... don't..."
His tone was pleading.
Bai Luo Xue's heart was breaking, but in the end, she slowly turned around. However, her movements were incredibly heavy, and her beautiful face was shrouded in pain like dark clouds. Crystalline tears kept sliding down her cheeks.
If she could, she would rather die with Jianxin. However, Jianxin's talent for cultivation is so monstrous; his future achievements are bound to be extraordinary. If she were to cause his demise, how unfair would that be to Jianxin?
Watching Bai Luo Xue's retreating figure, Jianxin reddened, his body trembling violently. He wanted to rush forward and grab Bai Luo Xue, but he was now so weak that he could barely move, let alone stop her.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the woman he loved was taken away.
A surge of pain rushed into Jianxin's heart like a tidal wave. At that moment, Jianxin felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a hand, making it hard to breathe. The pain was sharp and profound, as if countless steel needles were piercing his heart at the same time.
He hates it!
I hate my own incompetence!
He hated his own weakness, his inability to protect his woman.
Jianxin clenched his right fist so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, yet he seemed to feel no pain whatsoever. His eyes were filled with self-reproach and regret—a disappointment in himself.
He felt so small and powerless. In the face of fate, he was like an ant, unable to control his own destiny or protect his own happiness.
This pain and regret continued to spread in his heart, like a shadow, plunging him into an abyss of despair from which he could not extricate himself.
At that moment, that figure reappeared in his mind.
Why!
Why didn't you appear this time, Master?
Why!
Blood tears slowly streamed from Jianxin's eyes, the shocking red starkly contrasting against his pale face. The blood tears flowed down like a sorrowful river, telling of the unspeakable pain in his heart.
His eyes were empty and filled with despair, as if his soul had been ripped out.
Jianxin lay quietly on the ground, letting blood and tears flow freely, as if the whole world had lost its color at that moment, leaving only him and the inescapable pain.
Above in the void, a man dressed in white was watching Jianxin intently.
The white-clad man's handsome face was sculpted, with sharp features and no warmth whatsoever. He stared at Jianxin with an indifferent expression, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Are you sure you don't want to help him?
The system suddenly said.
Su Chen's eyes remained expressionless, and he did not respond until he watched Jianxin get up and leave. Only then did he slowly say, "I won't help."
The tone was flat.
He will hate you.
Su Chen calmly said, "Then let it be hatred."
[Sigh, aren't you being too strict?]
The system sighed softly.
Su Chen said calmly, "This is the karma he created himself, so he must bear all the consequences. The path of life is a cycle of cause and effect, and no one can take his place. He needs to find himself and understand the true meaning within this karma. If I interfere every time, he will never truly grow and will never understand the Principle of this world. Only by experiencing hardships and facing karma head-on will he have even a slight chance of catching up with me."
