Chapter 538 The friendship between life and death
Her eyes suddenly opened, and the red lotus on her forehead was given life at this moment, slowly blooming, the petals changing from light to dark, and then to a fiery red.
She covered her chest blankly, feeling that something very important was slowly slipping away from her.
"Axue! You're awake! Shi Yuan, get up quickly, Axue is awake, go and look at her, get up and look at her..." Xie Lanyue kept calling in Shi Yuan's ear with an anxious look on her face.
Xue Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man who was always at ease was now lying on the ground fragilely with his eyes closed.
Beneath his body was a large pool of blood mixed with gold and red, which stained her dress.
She crawled over in disbelief, looking at Shi Yuan covered in blood, her heart felt emptier and emptier, for the first time she felt so clearly the taste of loss.
Her lifeline was intertwined with his, but now it was slowly breaking apart, gradually moving further and further away.
This proves that the owner of the fate line is dissipating.
No, he can't die, Shi Yuan can't die...
Xue Yi's breathing became more and more rapid, and her tears flowed uncontrollably, but she didn't even dare to touch him.
Time waits for no one, and her snow-white hair was stained with his blood.
The woman took out the Kun Yue Sword and stabbed herself in the heart several times.
She caught it in a porcelain bottle, then suddenly put it in her mouth and passed it to Shi Yuan.
The dazzling red light spread along the two people's lips and into the man's body, turning into countless red lines and beginning to repair his body.
The parts that had originally dissipated and begun to fall apart were all pulled back to their original positions by the red line and firmly fixed where they should be.
Xue Yi held his hand tightly, praying in her heart, don't die, don't die...
Although the Shi family possesses terrifying destructive power, they have a most fatal weakness: once they are injured, the wound heals very slowly, but the blood and life lose very quickly.
Moreover, they cannot heal their injuries quickly by taking healing pills like ordinary people, and can only heal themselves through the power of healing.
In Shi Yuan's long life, he had only suffered two serious injuries.
One time was after the great war, in order to obtain the life-saving spiritual herbs for Xue Yi, he single-handedly killed hundreds of divine beasts from outside the domain.
That time, he spent three full months soaking in the Tianchi Lake in the divine realm to heal his wounds.
This time, there was no Tianchi to heal him.
No one present had the power to heal him, and his life slipped away at a rapid pace. He only had time to take one last look at his beloved before closing his eyes.
It’s just that the change happened too suddenly, and I didn’t have time to say many things before it was time to say goodbye.
Xueyi fed him the heart blood three times in a row as if it was free.
The rumors from many years ago were true. The Mei people were as old as the sky, and if one obtained their heart, one could enjoy longevity and immortality.
Those people targeted them because of their hearts and their ability to live as long as heaven.
The Mei people back then were all the surviving descendants of the Ji family. Their heart blood was a healing agent more miraculous than any magic medicine; just one drop could revive the dead and turn bones into flesh, not to mention Xue Yi, the saint.
Xue Yi fed Shi Yuan five drops of her heart blood, and her already weak body became even more vulnerable.
The tomb owner stood not far away and watched the scene, the sword in his hand eager to try.
Even though they killed the wrong person, the woman was still alive, and this group of people would definitely not give up the idea of taking the fragments.
Killing this woman is the most important thing!
He narrowed his eyes, and ignoring the tragic drama of life and death playing out in front of him, the remaining pressure poured out again and was directed at Xue Yi.
But this time, someone stood in front of her, more than one.
They stood up, but were not even stable because of their severe injuries.
But they still resolutely stood in front of Xue Yi and Shi Yuan.
Their weapons came together, and even Wei Fuzhi took action. The power of the underworld was injected into the divine power, and the divine weapons intertwined to form a huge defensive shield.
The giant axe stood proudly at the top, ready to strike as soon as the shadow attacked and chopped him down with the axe.
"We call you senior out of respect, and we feel ashamed to disturb your peace. We just want to find the fragments and leave.
But you have repeatedly pushed us into a desperate situation, trying to kill us, and even wanted to take advantage of our serious injuries to wipe us out. You are really a mean person! You are not worthy of being called a senior by us!"
"Although you are a supreme power, your tolerance is so small that you cannot tolerate the existence of a woman! It is simply a shame for you!"
"We have already said that we will not summon the Devouring Beast to harm the world. We are all the current leaders of the Floating Light and the heads of the Outer Domain families. We will never abandon the safety of the world..."
"If you don't believe us, you could just chase us away, but you insisted on killing us! Then we can only fight to the death!"
"If you take one more step, my great axe of divine light will smash your consciousness into pieces!"
Several people stood firmly in front of Xue Yi, and the huge shield flashed with a mixture of golden and dark light.
Xue Yi looked up and could only see their bloody backs.
Her eyes became moist. It was because of her that they were in danger...
If she hadn't brought them here, Shi Yuan wouldn't have gotten into trouble, everyone wouldn't have been seriously injured and their lives would be hanging by a thread, and she wouldn't have been discovered and punished.
Everything is because of her...
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to get them out alive!
Shi Yuan cannot die, none of them can die!
Even Wei Fuzhi, who was not close to her but just a casual acquaintance, stood in front of her. She could not bear to watch them sacrifice themselves for her.
Xue Yi wiped away her tears, gently put Shi Yuan down, touched his cold cheek, and choked up.
"I'll take you out. I'll take you out alive..."
She stood up, and two divine swords appeared at her sides at the same time.
The red lotus on the woman's forehead sparkled brightly. She looked at the phantom with cold and fierce eyes, "Soaring above the blood moon in the sky, the fate of the world depends on my thoughts."
"There is form in the difference, and there is image in the form..."
As Xue Yi's spell fell, the two magic swords responded to the call and intertwined brilliant sword lights, and finally merged into one, turning into an unprecedented giant sword - Ling Kun.
The sword body was flowing with a dark light of red and black, as if it could split the sky and earth and overturn the universe.
The blood moon hung high in the sky, its color as blood. It was no longer a lonely watch in the distant sky, but so close that it seemed to be within reach, dyeing the entire space with an ominous crimson.
Under this strange vision, Xue Yi's figure was stretched out. She stood under the blood moon, her eyes flashing with indomitable spirit and determination, like Yama who had returned from hell, surrounded by breathtaking pressure and power.
She held a huge sword in her hand and rushed towards the shadow.
The phantom swung his sword to block, and the collision of the two swords made a sharp roar.
The tomb owner was obviously struggling as he had lost half of his strength, but he did not lose the upper hand. Instead, he used the agility of his phantom to fight against Xue Yi.
But the woman in front of him seemed like a madman. She didn't even try to dodge, but just kept rushing towards him, vowing to tear him into pieces.
After several rounds, the two fought again. In the last round, his sword pierced straight into the woman's shoulder, and Xue Yi's sword also pierced into his forehead.
The shadow widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the wound on Xue Yi's shoulder that was healing itself.
"you……"
He was unable to utter the next word because the sword that Xue Yi had thrust into his forehead fiercely cut a circle and shattered his sea of consciousness.
At this point, the last remaining consciousness of the phantom was completely shattered and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, everyone's injuries were healing on their own. Warmth flowed through their bodies from the inside out. It was magical.
Xue Yi walked to Shi Yuan and fell to the ground.
Her sword seemed anxious to support her, but was afraid of hurting her.
Xie Lanyue hurried over to support her, "Axue!"
Xue Yi's consciousness had begun to blur. She stared at Shi Yuan, whose breathing was gradually becoming steady, and gave a faint smile from the bottom of her heart.
Great! We rescued everyone.
The next second, she fell straight into Xie Lanyue's arms and fainted again.
She was already at the end of her strength. First, she endured the excruciating pain of her bones being broken and reassembled repeatedly. Then, she was awakened by the pain of her lifeline. She cut out her own blood to save Shi Yuan, and forced the two swords to merge into one, opening the blood moon field and overdrawing her own strength.
Although she successfully killed the remaining consciousness of the tomb owner, she no longer had the energy to stay awake.
Opening a blood moon field would drain her of her divine power even if she was in her prime, let alone now.
The owner of the tomb is dead, but the secret realm has existed for many years. It is a world of its own and can operate even without the support of the tomb owner.
The exit to the secret realm will not be opened in less than a month.
And only nine days had passed since they came into this place and experienced so many things.
Twenty-two days left.
Bai Ye checked the physical condition of the two people and found that they were not seriously injured.
But one was unable to wake up, and the other overused his strength and caused a backlash, and both needed to rest.
It seemed that they had to find a place to settle down.
At the very least, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong in the remaining twenty-two days.
They took the two of them and boarded Bai Ye’s Divine Phoenix.
When the original owner of the tomb was here, they could not summon their sacred beasts, as they were imprisoned in their sea of consciousness by a force and unable to move. But now they are free from any constraints.
Before leaving, Jiang Shouyu jumped down and took out a black box from the coffin.
He opened it, sensed the breath on it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, this trip was not in vain." He held the box, his worried eyes fell on Xue Yi.
Then he pursed his lips and handed the box to Xie Lanyue, "You take it and give it to Xiaoyi when she wakes up."
Xie Lanyue was wiping Xueyi's face. He glanced at her calmly and refused.
"You found it, you can give it to her when she wakes up."
After this trip, his impression of Jiang Shouyu changed a lot.
Although she was initially resistant to him and didn't want to have another strange person stay by Xue Yi's side.
But this time they are friends for life and death. Just because Jiang Shouyu can lead them to find the fragments and stand in front of Xue Yi with them, he has no reason to let Jiang Shouyu leave.
He was the one who got the fragment, so naturally he should give it to Xue Yi.
He has no intention of taking credit for other people's work.
