Si Yan wanted to jump into the river as soon as possible to reunite with Jiang Nuo, but there were many ghosts blocking her way.
He lacked the patience to kill slowly; his aura was sharp and aggressive, and he killed anyone he saw. He wielded the Dragon Tail Dagger with ease, as if it were born for him.
The dummies that had risen from the coffins began attacking everyone indiscriminately, especially those trying to leave the church.
All I could hear were the desperate cries of the townspeople.
Si Yan ignored him, her mind preoccupied with wanting to see Jiang Nuo as soon as possible, much sooner.
His face was weary, his eyes cold, and his murderous intent intensified as he felt the blood splatter on his body; he was world-weary and indifferent.
Su Yi also realized what was happening and wanted to go out with Si Yan, but then she suddenly remembered Tang Mu's instructions from yesterday.
I must kill the boss today.
Could it be that Tang Mu could have foreseen what would happen today...?
Without a second thought, Su Yi followed her heart and abruptly turned her back on the door, keeping a close eye on the boss who was chasing after her.
Even after leaving the church, Si Yan was still fraught with danger.
The stone statue shattered last night, releasing the demon. Even though Si Yan added another layer of seal last night, it was still useless.
This undoubtedly proves yet another thing.
The demons here are embodiments of some kind of power, and are not the so-called seventy-two demon gods of hell at all.
Si Yan leaped into the air with light steps, her phoenix eyes flashing with a cold, sharp light.
"Oh..."
The two demons raised their enormous fists and smashed them down at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see.
But Si Yan remained calm, dodging the attacks one after another with agility, his purple Spiritual Power swirling around him like that of a god.
He no longer held back his power; the purple aura, carrying Spiritual Power enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, surged straight toward the demon with unstoppable force.
A single, decisive blow.
The demon crashed to the ground and vanished in an instant, completely unaware that Si Yan had placed it inside the stone statue the night before and added a Spiritual Power curse to it.
Another demon roared suddenly, and black mist filled half the square, sweeping towards Si Yan.
Si Yan raised his eyes sinisterly, his phoenix eyes narrowing coldly as he searched for the vanished figure of the demon in the black mist.
A few seconds later, the search yielded no results.
Instead, he curled his lips into a cold smile.
If you can't find it, you can always kill it.
Si Yan leaped up again, gripping the dagger's blade tightly with his bare hands. Blood stained the Dragon Tail Dagger, and its Spiritual Power instantly increased several times, as if a true dragon had appeared in the world.
Mysterious and unpredictable, it is a power that should not exist in this world, stirring up thunder and surging dark clouds.
He lowered his eyes, expressionless, and uttered a few words.
No one could hear what he was saying, but everyone could see the purple-gold light that suddenly appeared in the clouds.
Breaking through the black mist, the light was a chilling, murderous flash of lightning.
A strong wind was blowing.
Si Yan's cold gaze fixed on the figure that appeared after the black mist dissipated. He raised his palm again and crushed the demonic phantom.
The two demons were quickly killed, and the comments section was filled with praise for Si Yan's strength. However, his pale face was not visible, and he could already feel his internal Spiritual Power beginning to become disordered.
It's so cold, I can barely hold on any longer.
Si Yan barely managed to stand, tasting the metallic sweetness in her throat. She lowered her eyes to watch the demon gradually disappear. Without even giving herself a moment to rest, she ran madly towards the garden again.
There's no time left...
If he doesn't see Nuonuo soon, he's afraid... he won't be able to escape.
Just then, Su Yi had already killed the boss. Although she was injured, she managed to survive.
Su Yi seemed oblivious to the pain of her arm being pierced, and ran with all her might towards the dark river.
The four people moved at different speeds, and when Su Yi reached the underground river, she saw Si Yan jump into the river without hesitation.
Su Yi shuddered, not really sure if the information on the mannequin was left by Jiang Nuo himself.
But now that we've come this far, whether it is or isn't completely irrelevant.
If she's the only one left, even if she survives, she won't be able to escape this town.
Su Yi pursed her lips, no longer dwelling on it, and suddenly jumped down.
"Uncle."
Mikazuki Hexi, who had been silent all along, stopped and suddenly grabbed Mikazuki Shunsuke's arm, stopping him from jumping into the river.
Are you going to jump down too?
Mikazuki Hexi's tone betrayed no fear, "Don't you hate Si Yan the most?"
"Live first, other grudges can wait... What are you doing!"
Mikazuki Shunsuke stared in shock at the people following Mikazuki Hexi, who were clearly the same group of dummies who were supposed to be dead.
"You brought them here!"
"Uncle, stay here." Mikazuki Hexi giggled, their smiles as genuine as a mannequin's.
Mikazuki Shunsuke felt ice-cold all over.
when...
When did Hexi die?
Countless mannequins surged toward him.
--
The river water was icy cold, and the darkness was oppressive.
It seems... I'm about to die.
The feeling of weightlessness is almost despairing.
These were Si Yan's last thoughts before she lost consciousness.
He didn't know how long he had been wandering in the darkness, only that when he woke up again, he was surrounded by warmth.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her phoenix eyes opened abruptly.
" Si Yan."
" Si Yan..."
Si Yan heard someone calling, but her eyes couldn't focus, and her consciousness was scattered.
" Si Yan, are you awake?"
Whose voice is that? Si Yan frowned blankly, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart.
" Nuonuo..." he called out softly, almost instinctively.
But I received a precise and firm answer.
"I'm here, look at me."
In an instant, my thoughts came together.
Si Yan opened her eyes and gradually focused on the face in front of her.
" Nuonuo..."
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would disappear. He wanted to raise his arms to hug him, but he had no strength at all.
Fortunately, they always managed to understand each other.
Jiang Nuo bent down and hugged Si Yan tightly, gently nuzzling his nose against hers. "I'm not fake, don't be afraid."
He nuzzled against Si Yan's face, gently kissed his lips, his voice incredibly tender.
Si Yan slowed her breathing considerably, staring intently at her lover before gently lowering her gaze, half-concealing her eyes.
"I can't move, does that mean I'm... crippled?"
Jiang Nuo chuckled, cupping his face and pecking at his cheeks. "No, you were injured, and your Spiritual Power was tangled and disordered, so I used a talisman to temporarily suppress your body."
Si Yan was relieved. If he were crippled, he would never be worthy of Nuonuo.
"Wife..." he said in a hoarse, resentful voice, "I'm not feeling well."
"It'll be over soon, don't move around."
"... Then hold me tighter." Si Yan felt very insecure right now, afraid that any slight movement would make his wife disappear, so he needed to hold her tightly.
Jiang Nuo simply lay down beside him, turned to her side, snuggled into the blankets, hugged Si Yan tightly, and buried her face in his chest, saying in a muffled voice, "You scared me."
When I arrived, you were covered in blood.
"But you're amazing! Su Yi said you killed two demons all by yourself, right?"
Si Yan slowly parted her lips, "Then... the reward?"
Jiang Nuo looked up, wrapped her arms around Si Yan's neck, and kissed him passionately.
It seems everyone is using this method to vent their longing and unease after a brief separation.
It was at this moment that the disbelieving comments and eagerly awaiting netizens finally dared to confirm that Jiang Nuo was truly alright!
