The crimson-eyed sinister devil's twisted head began to turn violent and chaotic.
A peculiar ripple suddenly emanated from its black sword, blasting a gaping hole into the chest of the sinister devil blocking its path.
The sinister devil let out another bloodcurdling screech as its body plummeted forward, knocking the dazed Ji Yanling to the ground.
"Who … who are you?" Ji Yanling stared blankly at the sinister devil in front of her as her voice began to tremble.
The sinister devil extended its jet-black hand toward Ji Yanling's neck and gently lifted the necklace. The light blue gemstone on the necklace was so beautiful that it glowed faintly.
The sinister devil held the gemstone in its hand.
The crimson-eyed sinister devil's longsword pierced through the air, aiming for the sinister devil's head.
Boom!
A dazzling blue barrier of light suddenly appeared in the air, enshrouding Ji Yanling and the others.
The longsword struck the blue barrier of light, but the extremely powerful attack was unable to shake it in the slightest.
"This is the enchantment barrier of the Blue Dream Crystal …" Ji Yanling stared at the sinister devil in front of her, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes. "Wang Lu, is that you …"
The Blue Dream Crystal was Wang Lu's family heirloom, only his power could activate the enchantment barrier of the Blue Dream Crystal. That's right, only he could activate it …
The sinister devil hissed as it looked at the two streams of tears flowing down the girl's face.
It could no longer speak, and the only thing it could make was this piercing sound.
Then, it lowered its head.
A series of images surfaced in its mind.
A man in a grey robe and a woman in a flowing white dress appeared at the edge of the Abyss of Evil.
The man had an imposing appearance, while the woman was as beautiful as the moon, like a lotus fairy.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were a match made in heaven.
"Xiao Yan, this mission is extremely dangerous, don't let your guard down." The man cautioned.
"Aiya, Wang Lu, as long as I stay by your side, with a Soul Formation Stage mighty figure like you protecting me, what do I have to fear?" Ji Yanling clung onto Wang Lu's arm with a smile on her face.
Wang Lu blushed slightly. "Then you have to stick close to me, don't leave me …"
…
An accident occurred while they were retrieving the Sacred Black Flame Lotus.
The Abyssal Demons rioted, and several powerful beasts with vast auras appeared, forcing the two of them into a desperate situation.
At this moment, Wang Lu took out the Blue Dream Crystal necklace and handed it to Ji Yanling. "Take this and run!"
"This Blue Dream Gem is for you to use to protect yourself, I can't use it." Ji Yanling pushed the necklace away.
With the necklace on Wang Lu's body, it could guarantee his safety.
However, Wang Lu personally put the necklace on Ji Yanling's neck and spoke in a gentle voice, "Silly, I'll only be able to sense your location after the Blue Dream Crystal is on you."
"If … if the Blue Dream Crystal's light disappears, then don't wait for me."
A strong gust of wind pushed Ji Yanling into the distance.
Wang Lu turned around, and his whole body burst out with a powerful force, leading the several Deity Stage strange beasts that were chasing him away.
…
In the abyss of endless darkness.
Covered in blood, Wang Lu walked forward step by step, dragging a long trail of blood behind him.
One of his arms had already been destroyed, but he still managed to escape from the pursuit of several Soul Formation Stage mutant beasts.
The next step was to search for the Blue Dream Crystal's aura and find Little Yan.
He wasn't in a good state at the moment, so he had to leave this perilous Abyss of Evil with Little Yan as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to fly away on his sword, an inky-black blade appeared out of nowhere and pierced through his chest.
"Ah …!"
Wang Lu fell to his knees. Excruciating pain was accompanied by boundless mental corruption, which eroded his body.
The profound and bizarre power caused his body to slowly dissipate. Boundless negative emotions roared in his mind, driving him into madness, depravity, and finally leading him to transform into a sinister devil …
No, I can't die like this.
Little Yan is still waiting for me, I can't die like this!
His strong will resisted the boundless mental corruption.
But in the end, he still completely fell into darkness.
…
After an unknown period of time, Wang Lu regained consciousness.
"What … what's happening to my body?"
He stared blankly at his twisted, inky-black body as he spoke in shock.
However, all that came out of his mouth was an ear-piercing hissing sound.
That day, he completely broke down. He discovered that he had become a sinister devil.
Despair, depravity, violence, slaughter …
He wandered around the Abyss of Evil, gradually losing himself as he did what sinister devils were supposed to do.
"Wang Lu, Wang Lu, are you there?"
A familiar voice reverberated in the boundless darkness of the abyss.
He heard that voice, the voice that haunted his dreams.
Something that had been sealed away was lifted up again. His rationality was also awakened by this voice. The chaos, distortion, and despair slowly began to dissipate …
Weak and frail, she paced back and forth in the darkness, searching nonstop.
He, who had fallen into depravity, hid in the darkness, silently protecting the beautiful figure that he couldn't let go of.
At least … he had to protect her until the day she decided to give up.
I'll help you deal with the terrifying mutant beasts.
I'll help you eliminate the sinister devils that lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Wang Lu, Wang Lu, are you there …"
In this eternally dark space, her calls never stopped.
How many days had it been?
Wang Lu really didn't know how many days had passed, but he knew how many times Ji Yanling had called out his name.
In the darkness, whenever Ji Yanling felt like she was about to collapse, she would pull out the Blue Dream Crystal and stare at its faint glow as she murmured to herself, "Wang Lu, I know you're not dead, you must still be waiting for me somewhere."
Idiot, I've always been by your side …
In the darkness, Wang Lu silently stared at the lonely figure.
He actually had another choice.
However, he didn't dare to make that choice, because he was afraid that Ji Yanling would make the same choice as him.
Finally, one day, Ji Yanling encountered a group of people who were here to hunt sinister devils.
They definitely didn't expect that a sinister devil by the name of Wang Lu would be right beside them.
Ji Yanling explained to them in an experienced manner. There were very few sinister devils here, she hadn't encountered a single one in over a year.
Wang Lu stood silently to the side.
Idiot, you haven't encountered any sinister devils because I've killed all the sinister devils that tried to violate you …
After that, they were chased by two giant dragons.
Should they attack? No … they could still handle it.
However, the direction in which you guys fled in made me a little worried.
Another sinister devil tried to attack you, but I appeared behind it and used my hand as a blade to decapitate it.
The sinister devil's killing intent was transmitted to you.
But you said in an experienced manner that this was the Yin Wind of the Abyss.
Idiot, this is killing intent. I have to say, you're quite good at making up terms and explaining yourself …
Just as Wang Lu was sighing to himself, an extremely powerful being appeared.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, traitor …" A voice traveled toward him like the Yin Wind of the Abyss.
"You can talk to me?!" Wang Lu was shocked.
"Hehe, why not? We're the same kind."
"You've killed so many of my sinister devils for this woman, what do you think I should do with you?"
A pair of crimson eyes appeared in the darkness as the sinister devil slowly materialized with a monstrous aura.
Wang Lu was no match for it, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
The sinister devil brought him onto the battlefield so that he could see with his own eyes what would happen to the woman he was protecting.
He lay on the ground and saw Ji Yanling's determined figure in battle, as well as her unwillingness to give up after being pushed into a corner.
At least let me protect you one last time!!
Wang Lu roared in rage and his body transformed into a black shadow as he shielded Ji Yanling.
A hole was blasted into his chest, but fortunately, he managed to activate the Blue Dream Crystal Enchantment Barrier at the last moment.
"Wang Lu, is that you …"
Although this was a question, the woman's limpid eyes were already filled with tears.
"It's me, Xiao Yan." The sinister devil let out a sharp and hoarse cry, but it was impossible to make out any words.
Ji Yanling reached out to caress its pitch-black face and said in a gentle voice, "Wang Lu, I knew it was you! Let's go home together … "
Go home?
If I go home like this, my in-laws will definitely not recognize me as their son-in-law.
But it feels really good to be recognized by you …
The pitch-black body gradually dissipated and its aura grew weaker and weaker.
"Wang Lu, wake up, I beg you!"
"Wang Lu, don't leave me, no matter what you become, don't leave me …"
Wang Lu … Wang Lu …
Her voice grew softer and softer.
Eight hundred and ninety-nine thousand one hundred and twenty-five times.
Eight hundred and ninety-nine thousand one hundred and twenty-six times …
During his long period of protection, Wang Lu had developed a small hobby, which was to secretly note down the number of times Ji Yanling called out his name in the Abyss of Evil to see how long she could persist.
She was still persisting.
If he told her this number, she probably wouldn't even believe it herself.
It's a pity that I'm about to leave, I won't be able to tell you about this anymore …
As Ji Yanling called out to him, the pitch-black body completely dissipated into specks of black light, disappearing with the wind as she called out "Wang Lu".
