Cold Clouds

Chapter 202 Destiny?

Song Hanyun took a deep breath. It had been almost a year since he and Lin Xiaoxiao had been in the forest together. He and Ye Lan had finally learned how to use the double swords together. It was no longer a far-fetched thing for them to severely injure a big demon.

Lin Xiaoxiao was finally unable to suppress the big demon, and it swept in all directions. Song Hanyun and Ye Lan both went to fight, but without the help of others they could not do anything to Lin Xiaoxiao, not to mention that Lin Xiaoxiao had several powerful generals around her.

Tang Zhen no longer needed them to find an opportunity to retaliate. Song Hanyun and the others had originally wanted to wait until the war was over and things stabilized before looking for Tang Zhen to punish him. After all, Tang Zhen held the ancient formation inheritance and was an important figure in the blocking war. But now Tang Zhen had been pierced through the dantian by Lin Xiaoxiao's sword and had lost all his cultivation. He had even begun to become somewhat demented. Seeing Tang Zhen like this, Song Hanyun and the others were too lazy to care about him.

Tang Zhen became a disabled person, so the ancient formation had to be spread out. Several formation masters worked together and their effect was even greater than when Tang Zhen was normal.

When they met Lin Xiaoxiao again, Song Hanyun and Ye Lan had to walk through the path that the blood-soaked elders had risked their lives to open up.

Lin Xiaoxiao is getting stronger and stronger, but the place for the decisive battle is not here. They are just here to stop Lin Xiaoxiao and buy time for civilians to escape.

They had tried to awaken Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness before, but it was completely useless. According to Li Tianyuan, Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness had sunk to the bottom of her soul. If the great demon had not destroyed an entire continent and was severely injured by the Heavenly Dao and needed healing, Lin Xiaoxiao would not have had the opportunity to come out from time to time.

Song Hanyun, who was swept away by Lin Xiaoxiao's sword, only felt that the silver moon that he had just used to block the Heavenly Demon Sword was trembling slightly, and his palm was also hurting.

"This is... the great demon from the fifteenth level of the Crucifixion Hell." Feeling the familiar demonic energy, Li Tianyuan spoke in a low voice, full of worry, "Xu Jianju, good at swords and slow slicing."

Ye Lan took a sword strike and also retreated several steps. Her blood was rushing up and she felt uncomfortable.

“Although his strength in the lower realm is at most half a step into the void, he can still beat you two like chickens,” Li Tianyuan frowned. “Whether in the upper realm or the lower realm, the fear of going to hell after death is not small.”

"The civilians have already evacuated. Let's go first," Song Hanyun pushed Lin Xiaoxiao back a step with his sword and said urgently, "Hurry."

The two of them glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and walked away.

Xu Jianju, who was controlling Lin Xiaoxiao's body, actually wanted to catch up with her, but Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness struggled for a while and it couldn't catch up.

After all, this body is still Lin Xiaoxiao's body. If Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness is hurt, the several great demons occupying her body will not feel good either. Now is an important stage in destroying the lower world, and we cannot give the Heavenly Dao even a little chance to take advantage.

What a hassle. The soul lock is still not strong enough. Was it too hasty to destroy a continent last time? Never mind. It's not too much trouble anyway.

If Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to control the body again at this time, she would have to erase her own consciousness. Although there would be some problems at that time, her disappearance would be equivalent to suicide, and it would be easier for them to take over the body.

Besides, how could Lin Xiaoxiao, who is afraid of pain, do such a thing?

"That woman just now seemed to have the aura of Li Tianyuan," Guang Jiuju suddenly said, "What do you think?"

"Oh, that old man is just a remnant soul," Xu Jianju sneered, "If he dares to come, I dare to kill him."

Song Hanyun and Ye Lan looked at the last batch of refugees with heavy hearts. The casualties in the Western Continent were already an extremely terrifying number. Now the only two sects among the seven major sects with basically intact personnel were the Yunjian Sect and the Lingxia Sect. The people of the Lingxia Sect had already moved to the Yunjian Sect, and the next battlefield with Lin Xiaoxiao would be the Yunjian Sect.

And this is also the battlefield where Song Hanyun and Ye Lan decided to have a decisive battle with Lin Xiaoxiao.

No, it’s Xu Jianju.

Song Hanyun put the polished Silver Moon back into the mustard bag. He would not use the Silver Moon next time. It was also time to unsheathe the Kirin Horn Sword hanging on his waist.

All living beings are in trouble, and this sword is forged to cut off the suffering.

Xujianju arrived very quickly. The land behind it was dead silent, with no living creatures. But behind the army of cultivators in front of it and the towering Yunjian Sect, the breath of living creatures made it smile.

It needs to kill, it craves to kill. There is no revenge, no one to hate, it just simply wants to kill all living things.

Xu Jianju took out the Eighteen Demon Orders, laughed wildly, and looked at Song Hanyun and Ye Lan with disdain.

"Now, it's time for the decisive battle!"

The remaining seventeen great demons cannot all come out because of the restrictions of the Heavenly Law. The great demons in the last nine levels can only possess people but cannot appear in the world. However, the great demons in the first nine levels are enough to give the remaining cultivators in the lower world a hard time.

Bai Ling, the emperor of the demon clan, had a gloomy face. His lover was killed by Xu Jianju in the previous battle. When he arrived, there was only blood and flesh on the ground and a shiny skeleton without a trace of flesh and blood.

At this time, Bai Ling's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse: "Soldiers of the demon clan, follow me and kill!"

Bai Ling's momentum surged, and he faced a big demon head-on with a big axe in hand.

At this time, the demon clan had already split up. Yu Lan, the leader of the other demon clan, holding the Red Feather Golden Phoenix Sword, also stopped a big demon.

Qin Feng summoned the gods and led his men to stop the Black King Palace. Bai Chuan coughed a few times and his face turned pale. When the Tianli Mountain Secret Realm was directly collapsed by Lin Xiaoxiao, it was Ah Qing who desperately saved him. Looking at Ah Qing who was sleeping with her hand tied in her hand, Bai Chuan said gently: "Ah Qing, I'm sorry, I have to leave you for a while."

Ah Qing was placed in a safe place by Baichuan, and then Baichuan rode the remains of Bai Ze and rushed towards a big demon.

The remaining powerful cultivators of the demon and human races, under the protection of the Yunjian Sect's formation, intercepted the remaining six great demons and evil cultivators and ghosts.

Facing Xujianju head-on were still Song Hanyun and Ye Lan.

A big black centipede suddenly appeared next to Song Hanyun, staring at Xu Jianju hungrily. This centipede was the spirit of Yaowang Valley, and it was quite a contrast that Song Hanyun called it Dabai.

Ye Lan was possessed by Li Tianyuan, and her aura became much stronger. She exhaled a breath of foul air, raised her sword and rushed forward to kill.

"Demon Sword, come back!" Li Tianyuan shouted, and the Demon Sword struggled to break away from Xujianju and fell into Ye Lan's hands. Ye Lan held a sword in each hand, looking very aggressive.

This situation was naturally within Xu Jianju's expectations. He knew, of course, that the Demonic Sword would never submit to him, but it was just a sword and he could have as many as he wanted.

By fusing together all the magical weapons of the East Continent, Xu Jianju obtained a magic weapon called "Blood of All Living Beings" that could compete with the Heavenly Demon Sword.

Xu Jianju held the blood of all living beings in his hand. He struggled with Ye Lan for a while, then he beat Ye Lan back with a sword and retreated to avoid Song Hanyun's sneak attack.

At this time, Song Hanyun had already pulled out the Qilin Horn Sword. The powerful spiritual power of the pure Qilin continued to erode him. Several blood marks appeared from Song Hanyun's right hand holding the sword to his shoulder.

Although he avoided Song Hanyun's sneak attack, Xu Jianju was still injured. The sharp sword energy emitted by the Qilin Horn Sword scratched him.

Xu Jianju was standing in front of the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Qilin Horn Sword, and finally felt the threat to his life.

Xu Jianju frowned and confronted the two men with the blood of all living beings in his hand.

Song Hanyun was the first to attack. He couldn't use the Qilin Horn Sword for too long and had to fight quickly. Xu Jianju could see that the Qilin Horn Sword had caused great damage to him. Xu Jianju, who was very afraid of it, gradually fell into a disadvantage in front of Song Hanyun. However, he also knew that Song Hanyun would definitely not be able to use it for too long, so he just had to delay for a while.

However, Xu Jianju was facing not only Song Hanyun, but also Ye Lan, so he had more and more wounds on his body, but his momentum remained undiminished. After all, he had practiced magic skills, so these wounds would heal in a while, and the other great demons could still supply him with magic energy.

So under the intensive attack, Song Hanyun and Ye Lan, who had almost no time to take pills, were slowly suppressed.

Xu Jianju's wounds had basically healed, but Song Hanyun and Ye Lan had already started breathing heavily.

"Okay, stop struggling and go to hell," Xu Jianju smiled, "Since you guys have brought me a lot of fun, I'm going to give you a quick death!"

"I'm so sorry," Song Hanyun sneered, "We don't want to give you a quick death."

Song Hanyun's momentum suddenly began to rise steadily, and the Qilin horn sword in his hand seemed to roar. A huge Qilin phantom appeared behind him, and the flesh and blood on his hand holding the sword gradually began to peel off under the powerful sword energy.

"Hey, don't steal the limelight by yourself!" Ye Lan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes became sharper and a faint flame appeared on her body. She actually began to ignite her five senses.

Her senses of smell, taste and touch were all burned out, leaving only her vision and smell. Ye Lan endured the pain and gritted her teeth as she looked at Xu Jianju, forcing a smile: "Are you ready, evil creature?"

Ye Lan moved her feet slightly, and Xu Jianju subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The tip of the Heavenly Demon Sword had already appeared in front of his throat.

Xu Jianju's pupils trembled slightly, and he turned around immediately. The Heavenly Demon Sword cut a little on his neck, splashing a few drops of blood. Just when he wanted to fight back, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. It was the pain caused by Ye Lan's other sword inserted into her lower abdomen.

Xu Jianju quickly retreated, covering his wound with his hands, looking extremely ugly: "You two bastards are really crazy!"

"Don't talk with her mouth." The sharp sword energy came from behind. Xu Jianju felt a chill on the back of his neck and jumped to the left. His right arm was immediately cut off and fell to the ground. Song Hanyun looked at it with cold eyes.

"You don't care about this body at all!?" Xu Jianju looked at Song Hanyun and Ye Lan as if they were madmen. "You care about her so much, so you treat her body like this!?"

"We just want you to get out of her body now." Song Hanyun spoke in a cold voice, his attack still fierce.

"You asked for this!" Xu Jianju seemed to be enraged. He used his magic energy to madly recover from his injuries and attacked the two of them while roaring.

"Of course we brought this upon ourselves." After an hour, Song Hanyun and Ye Lan, who were also not in a good condition, spoke as they looked at Xu Jianju, who was half-kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood.

Xu Jianju looked very weak and could no longer say those arrogant words he had at the beginning. He just kept cursing.

Song Hanyun and Ye Lan put their swords together. This was a trick they had researched that could directly hurt the soul. Now the dominant consciousness in Lin Xiaoxiao's body was Xu Jianju, and it was so weak that this sword would surely destroy it.

"Go to hell." The two spoke at the same time, ignoring Xu Jianju's terrified cries.

The two men drew their swords and stood up, and were about to congratulate him when they met the eyes of "Xu Jianju" which were gradually losing their spirit.

Wait a minute, why are these eyes so clear?

"Lin Xiaoxiao!"/"Sister Xiaoxiao!" The two exclaimed, but according to the agreement, the spokesperson of Heaven and Li Tianyuan have begun to work together to suppress the remaining demons. The light film isolates them outside, and they can only watch Lin Xiaoxiao's life slowly disappear.

The Eighteen Demonic Orders are no longer under the control of Li Tianyuan and have turned into a time bomb. Even if they are sealed for a period of time, there is absolutely no way to make them sleep forever in this underworld.

The demon controlled Lin Xiaoxiao's body, and she could see everything. If the demon was in excellent condition, it would be impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to take over her body, but now...

Xu Jianju was so weak that it was the best time to seize his body. Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness took over despite the tearing pain.

As long as she dies and leaves the Eighteen Demon Orders, the nine great demons attached to her will be completely exposed to the laws of Heaven, and the remaining great demons from the first nine levels will not be a big problem, and the problem will be solved once and for all.

It just requires her not to enter the cycle of reincarnation and have her soul scattered.

The restrictions of the Heavenly Dao spokesperson and Li Tianyuan weighed on Lin Xiaoxiao. The mighty demonic energy and the roaring nine great demons attracted the thunder from the sky. The severe pain of the soul being torn apart still existed, and the pierced chest was also real.

It hurt so much that Lin Xiaoxiao was almost speechless. She was most afraid of pain.

Song Hanyun and Ye Lan stood outside the light film at a loss, and they actually shed tears without realizing it.

“Why are you crying…?” Lin Xiaoxiao forced a smile and said weakly, “You… killed the king of evil cultivators. You are… great heroes… of the lower world. Be happy…”

How could they be happy? Song Hanyun and Ye Lan clenched their fists, but still smiled in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, even though it was a forced smile.

Lin Xiaoxiao could no longer see clearly. The light in her eyes gradually disappeared. She murmured to herself, "Ye Lan, you finally fulfilled... your childhood dream... When you were a child, you kept saying... you wanted to be a hero..."

"You're getting prettier and prettier," Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be more energetic, but everyone knew it was just a flash of life. "Wipe your tears. You don't look good when you cry."

Ye Lan responded, wiped away her tears, and smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"That's right..." The last moments of her life seemed to have passed, and Lin Xiaoxiao's breath became weak again. She looked at Song Hanyun, "Song... Master..."

Song Hanyun's nails dug into his palms, blood seeping out, and he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"I'm about to die, so just say what's hidden in my heart. I..." Lin Xiaoxiao could no longer make a sound and could only mouth the words.

"I am attracted to you." These were her last words before she could utter a single word.

Lin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes forever. The great demons in the last nine levels were wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, and the great demons in the first nine levels were also wiped out. The war was over.

Song Hanyun half-knelt on the ground, crying silently. Lin Xiaoxiao died in such pain, and he couldn't even fulfill her last wish.

What the hell is this the destiny of the Son of Destiny? Is this what destiny is? Song Hanyun felt a hole in his heart and knelt on the ground for a long time.

Lingxia Sect fell into decline again. The stories told by the two saviors, Song Hanyun and Ye Lan, about Lin Xiaoxiao made everyone hate Tang Zhen very much. Tang Zhen once again sat in the dilapidated hall. Because his cultivation was gone and his old injuries were difficult to heal, he died ten years later.

Thirty years later, the people of the Western Continent have almost recovered and their lives are gradually returning to normal. The evil cultivators have also been completely wiped out by Ye Lan and Song Hanyun.

One day, Song Hanyun was looking at the peaceful and tranquil city and suddenly closed his eyes. A slight sound came from his body and his heart was broken.

Song Hanyun passed away and they had parted ways long ago. Ye Lan, who was performing her duties, suddenly felt something was wrong. In an instant, the sky was spinning and the whole world began to collapse.

"What's going on!?" Ye Lan exclaimed, while Li Tianyuan just sighed.

“I knew it… the world is going to collapse if the Son and Daughter of Destiny don’t end up together,” Li Tianyuan said with a hint of regret. “This is simply the most ridiculous and stupid setting.”

"What do you mean?" Ye Lan thought for a moment and widened her eyes, "Song Hanyun...!"

"He's dead. When Lin Xiaoxiao died, there was already a crack in his Dao heart. I told him about it, but he can only repair it by himself," Li Tianyuan sneered and said sarcastically, "God's arrangement is really good."

"What should we do now?" Ye Lan looked at the monster that was swallowed by the world crack and spoke in a daze.

"Don't worry, Heaven will rebuild everything," Li Tianyuan pointed at the world that was gradually being repaired, "Look, time is going backwards."

Feeling Li Tianyuan being gradually peeled away, Ye Lan found it difficult to remain calm.

"It's okay, it's just that the memory will disappear," Li Tianyuan said calmly, "If the arrangement of heaven remains the same, the ending will probably not change."

Song Hanyun's soul saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in a dizzy state. The person he saw was Ye Yuxie.

Ye Yuxie sighed. In her hand was Lin Xiaoxiao's soul which had been broken and then put back together. She glanced at Song Hanyun and disappeared from the spot after a while.

Before Song Hanyun lost consciousness, his soul murmured something, and only two words were left in the wind.

“Destiny…?”
