Chapter 268 Liberation
As he was speaking, a dark blue figure appeared beside Xuan Kun. It was the Ghost Lengyan. It was jumping, as if saying, "Middle Nascent Soul Stage, nothing more than this."
Xuan Kun and Ghost Leng Yan were in tune with each other, so he naturally understood its thoughts. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. It's just an unintelligent creature. Although you are strong, if you encounter a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, you won't be so easy to deal with. Don't underestimate the enemy."
As he spoke, Xuan Kun raised his hand and touched its spiritual body. The burning heat and icy cold air did not appear in Xuan Kun's hand. Instead, it was like touching a soft object with extremely high density and condensed together.
The one who sensed the touch and looked at Ghost Leng Yan's expression couldn't help but think: "I really don't know what made you so strange."
Unlike Xuan Kun, Ghost Leng Yan was dismissive of his master's words and allowed his master to touch him without any reaction, with a cold look on his face.
In the Hehuan Sect, the death of the Yuanying Patriarch on the spot had already caused chaos among the cultivators present. Once the Yinling Jiaolong Formation, the sect's protective formation, was broken, the situation exploded again. Countless people who wanted to hide and wait for the other two Yuanying Patriarchs to come back to kill the foreign enemies also scattered in all directions, completely losing their previous composure.
After all, without the restraint of the spiritual dragon in the formation, the killing god who killed the ancestor would probably attack them, a group of ants. That would be a devastating blow, and hell on earth would soon be staged in the Hehuan Sect.
On a certain mountain in the Hehuan Sect, a male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building was pulling a woman with lifeless eyes and a dead face in panic on a flying sword, flying out of the Hehuan Sect.
He kept making hand gestures, consuming a large amount of spiritual energy, to control the flying sword under him, trying to increase its speed even a little bit.
Although he himself was terrified, he still comforted the people behind him, saying, "Keying, don't be afraid. We were able to escape last time, and we will definitely be able to escape this time. That demon can't kill us, and we will definitely escape from here alive."
The woman behind him was Ruan Keying, who had escaped from the Hehuan branch sect and returned, and the man in front of him was Qing Fengyu, who had escaped together with him to the Hehuan sect and became a Taoist partner.
Although Ruan Keying was comforted by Qing Fengyu at this moment, her expression had not changed. Her eyes were still dead, without a trace of life.
She muttered, "It's useless, Fengyu. My master is dead, my uncle is dead, and even the extremely powerful Yuanying Patriarch is dead. They all died in front of me, right before my eyes."
Having said that, she looked at the sky and saw the clouds being swept away by the sword energy, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha~ Feng Yu, do you know? I feel like all of this is a game, starting from the Hehuan branch sect to the current Hehuan sect, everything is a game, we can't escape this game. Just tell me, in the Hehuan branch sect, we are just two ants he deliberately released to push the progress of this game. Now it's time to close the net, we can't escape, and we will die here. If we must die, why not die in our own hands." Her words were emotionless, as if she was telling someone else's story, but it was a story that ended with death.
When Qing Fengyu heard this, some thoughts in his mind seemed to be ignited. He thought about what his Taoist partner said and opened his mouth to object.
"No, no, we..." But he slowly closed his mouth, as if he felt that what his fellow Taoist said was true, they really could not escape, and he was speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, a woman's cry came from the side, shouting: "Brother, the person behind you committed suicide."
After hearing this, Qing Fengyu couldn't help but break free from his silence. He looked in the direction of the voice and found a familiar-looking woman flying a magic weapon and looking at him. He saw that the woman was actually a junior sister from the Lily Hall of the Hehuan Branch Sect, named Yuanxin. The previous words were obviously said to him.
He couldn't help but turn around and saw that Ruan Keying had her eyes closed, a trace of blood appeared on her neck, and she was holding a blue sharp blade in her hand. Seeing the blade in her hand, Qing Fengyu couldn't help but have red eyes and mist appeared.
"Woo~ No, no, Keying, don't scare me."
He held Ruan Keying, who was breathing weakly, in his arms, and hurriedly poured out the healing and life-saving pills from his storage bag. He poured out a handful of pills, which scattered in his hands and fell under the flying sword.
He fed the pills into her mouth one by one, but she was no longer able to swallow the refined pills. Her life force dissipated bit by bit, and the warmth in her body turned to be slightly cold. The deep wound on her neck had already taken her life.
Qing Fengyu knew that his Taoist partner had already made up his mind to die from what he had said before, but he did not expect that he would be so determined and die in his arms on the spot. Witnessing the death of his lover, the tears that had been welling up in his eyes for a long time also burst out like a flood, and he slowly lay down.
The woman who reminded her came closer and took a closer look at the two people. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It's Qing Fengyu and Ruan Keying. I didn't expect them to escape back. But why is that?"
She didn't say anything, but looked at the blue blade in Ruan Keying's hand and understood what had happened.
Qing Fengyu was immersed in grief, his eyes finally fixed on the blue blade. He stood there motionless, watching his beloved Taoist partner commit suicide in front of him, and his heart died.
He remembered that the blue sword was the token of love he gave her a month ago after they returned to Hehuan Sect. Although it was only a top-grade magic weapon, it was the best thing he could give. Unexpectedly, Ruan Keying committed suicide over this top-grade magic weapon.
Yuanxin looked at the two people who were determined to die and were deeply in love with each other, and couldn't help but sigh. She turned around and was about to leave when suddenly a voice called her.
"Yuanxin from Lily Hall, right? Do you think you can escape alive?"
The beautiful Yuan Xin was stunned when she heard this, then slowly replied, "I don't know, but if I don't escape, I will definitely not survive. I firmly believe this. If I didn't have this belief, I would have died there when the Hehuan Sect split up."
After saying this, he did not stop and flew away in the distance on his magic weapon.
Not long after flying out, a flying sword caught up.
"I think you are right. If you don't escape, you can't survive. Why doesn't Keying understand?" A man's voice sounded in her ears.
Yuanxin knew that Qing Fengyu had caught up with her. Since she was only in the early stage of foundation building, she naturally could not match the speed of someone in the middle stage of foundation building.
After hearing this, Yuanxin thought for a moment and slowly replied, "Maybe? Her heart is dead. Life and death are the same to her. Liberation is what she longs for."
After hearing this, Qing Fengyu looked at the person in his arms in silence, then turned his eyes to look at the central hall of the Hehuan Sect that had long been destroyed, his eyes burning, as if he had found hope of life.
