For pinnacle experts like Ling Xiaozui, Mr. Nian, and Gu Chaliang, the contents of their souls had long surpassed common sense. Even when their souls were shattered, as long as a shred of their remnant souls entered the cycle of reincarnation, there was a considerable chance for them to recapture the cultivation experience and state of mind of this lifetime. This was also the reason why Feng Xiange was shocked when Gu Chaliang asked for the Three Lives and Three Lives Tranquil Wine. Drinking the Three Lives and Three Lives Tranquil Wine meant the destruction of one's soul.
Now that Gu Chaliang had offered to release Liang Canghai's soul into the cycle of reincarnation as long as Liang Canghai ended his own life, it could be said that he was giving Liang Canghai a way out!
In spite of this, Liang Canghai did not answer. He countered in silence, continuing to resist Dugu Chou's sword energy attack.
Dugu Chou said, "Why are you putting up such a futile struggle? If your partner could come, he would have done so long ago. Now that he's still in the future, he definitely won't be able to come." "Facing Ling Xiaozui's all-out attack, unless he's willing to make a huge sacrifice … But will he pay such a price to save you?"
Gu Chaliang continued, "Liang Canghai, you know yourself best. Are you still so sure that Mr. Nian will come back to save you? Forget it, I won't do anything anymore. Since you're a man, fight Dugu Chou alone. It's much more honorable for him to send you on your way than to be ganged up on and beaten to death. "
Listening to the mockery, Liang Canghai's counterattack did not diminish. Instead, it intensified; his throat could not help gurgling.
He really wanted to spit on Gu Chaliang's despicable old face and curse him with a finger pointed at his nose, "You f * cking ambushed me the moment you came. First, you injured me, then the three of you ganged up on me, beating me until I was barely breathing, not much better than a dead man. Only then did you let me fight Dugu Chou alone …" Gu Chaliang was speechless.
"How can you be so shameless?"
In spite of this, he could not say it out loud. His vision was growing blurry as he felt himself falling deeper into an endless abyss. It was as if he would never reach the bottom.
Dugu Chou glanced over as well and frowned. Why hadn't Ling Xiaozui let him go yet?
Why didn't you follow the script? Did you really kill Mr. Nian?
Right at this moment, a thunderclap resounded in midair, and it shook the heavens as a violet-gold ray of light suddenly descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning.
The momentum of this attack greatly exceeded the scope of everyone's imagination.
"Go all out, kill Liang Canghai!" Dugu Chou shouted.
Gu Chaliang, who had just said that he would no longer attack, attacked again without hesitation. He attacked with all his might, as if he was going all out, afraid that he could not kill his target as soon as possible.
Therefore, countless light curtains filled with boundless killing intent smashed down on Liang Canghai, who was already on the verge of collapse.
However, a long roar shook the heavens in midair, and a figure rushed over under the shroud of saber lights, sword shadows, fists, and palms.
Dang dang dang...
It was Dugu Chou's sword that made a series of clangs as it seemed to have encountered some kind of weapon. Dugu Chou had to inject mystical Qi into the sword again to stop himself from being flung away.
Gu Chaliang was in an even worse state. With a grunt, he somersaulted away; it was obvious that he had been sent flying by the person who had rashly intervened in the battle.
Feng Xiange, who was slightly further away, opened his eyes abruptly. What he saw was a black-clothed, bloodstained silhouette landing abruptly. Then, with a twirl of one hand, countless rays of light shot out in all directions at once.
Then, there was another loud explosion. Black fog spread with the explosion, shrouding a thousand feet of land in an instant. It connected heaven and earth, blotting out the sun and the sky.
A chilling voice spoke, "I will never forget everyone's kindness. There shall be reincarnation in this lifetime!"
Before the voice could echo in the air, a black shadow that was darker than the black fog soared into the sky, leaving the battle.
"Trying to leave? It won't be that easy! "
Not only did Dugu Chou soar with his sword, Gu Chaliang was also waving his purple jade flute, turning into a ray of purple light as he pursued.
Even Feng Xiange, who was resting on the side, attacked with all his might. Countless saber lights flashed and charged into the black fog.
A low grunt came from the black fog, as if the person inside had been injured from the series of attacks.
In spite of it, Gu Chaliang and the other two had suffered a considerable counterattack as well. Gu Chaliang was the first to spit a mouthful of blood and staggered hundreds of feet back. Dugu Chou grunted, his body swaying but his sword did not strike again.
As for Feng Xiange, he rolled away like a gourd due to the attack, looking extremely wretched.
Just as the three of them were pushed back, the black silhouette in the thick fog soared up again. However, blood was still spurting from all over his body as he soared into the air and charged out of the thick fog. There was a person under his ribs – who else could it be but Liang Canghai?
The bleeding silhouette twisted in the air and with another deafening howl, he surged into the distance like a raging dragon, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Dugu Chou and the rest wanted to give chase, but it was already too late.
It was then that Ling Xiaozui's voice came from midair, "Where do you think you're going? Stay! "
A dazzling sword light that was like the sun appeared in the sky, illuminating hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers. A low grunt came from the other end before it was completely silent.
A voice that was filled with resentment came from afar, "Good, good, very good! I'll remember what happened today! "
Ling Xiaozui descended slowly from the sky.
Feng Xiange was lying on the ground, Gu Chaliang was leaning against a broken tree trunk, and Dugu Chou was looking up. The eight eyes of the four men exchanged glances, a smile playing at the corners of their lips.
"If you didn't let him come over … we might have to kill Liang Canghai …" Gu Chaliang stood up shakily.
Ling Xiaozui coughed and said, "This can't be helped. With Mr. Nian's cautiousness, he'll be suspicious if we let him go too easily. Therefore, I've only made him spit blood from his heart twice. This price shouldn't have reached his limit …"
Dugu Chou sighed and said, "Old Gu's words were indeed exaggerated … Even if Mr. Nian had come a little later, I think Liang Canghai would still have been able to hold on … An expert of this level won't collapse so easily."
"With the three of us working together, victory is assured and we have the upper hand. However, the other party is preserving his life at all costs, not hesitating to unleash the potential of his life force, soul, and soul just to stay alive. His will to live is unshakable. Old Gu's psychological tactic of letting his soul reincarnate is completely ineffective. It's just a waste of breath."
Dugu Chou said, "Therefore, perhaps Liang Canghai would really be killed by us if we were a little later, but not now."
Ling Xiaozui nodded.
It was basically the same as what he had guessed.
Just like what Dugu Chou had said, this was also the key to why the top experts in this world were harder to kill.
Even if three experts of the same level were to besiege one person, the most they could do was gain the upper hand and victory was assured. However, to actually kill him was an entirely different matter.
When it came to the brink of death, most people who were besieged would choose to unleash all of their potential to save their lives. Even if such potential and the source of life could not be replenished for many years or even a lifetime, they would not hesitate to do so.
Only by staying alive could they talk about the future. What was in front of them was the key.
On the contrary, the few people who had the upper hand would never adopt such a method. Their combined ability was far superior to the other party. Even if the other party were to put up a desperate resistance, they could still defeat the other party if they were to endure it. There was really no need to fight the other party head-on and cause both sides to suffer or even die!
Therefore, under such a contrast, as long as the enemy fought with all his might, there was a high chance that he could escape. Take today's situation as an example. If Feng Xiange had retreated at the last minute, the so-called sure-kill situation would be a joke.
"What happens next depends on Brother Feng." Ling Xiaozui and the other two turned to look at Feng Xiange simultaneously.
… …
There were too many haters. The death of a family member could also be a reason for them to vent their anger. They said that they were making up excuses to ask for leave.
I could only smirk coldly. When I, Feng Lingtian, want to ask for leave, I never need a reason! What more to curse my own family!
