Fortunately, the Loyal Army hesitated for a while, so Ren Yingying was able to escape from the Six Harmonies Pagoda. However, she didn't dare to relax, because she could hear the sound of the pursuers approaching from afar.
Ren Yingying felt dizzy. She knew that this was the side effect of using the Art of Blood Ignition. Because she had been in danger several times in Jianghu, she asked her father if there was any way to protect herself after returning to Blackwood Cliff. Ren Woxing hesitated again and again, but he couldn't resist her begging, so he taught her a secret technique of the Sun Moon Sect, the Art of Blood Ignition. He warned her again and again that she shouldn't use it unless she was in a desperate situation.
That was because this secret technique used the burning of one's blood essence to obtain a miraculous increase in strength. However, the price to pay was also very heavy, and that was losing at least thirty years of one's lifespan. If Ren Woxing used this technique at his age, it was possible that he would immediately die after using it.
Ren Yingying had to do it. After all, she was going to die in the next moment. After using the Art of Blood Ignition, she temporarily broke through the limit in her body, so she could kill the people who were strangling her.
Although she really wanted to kill these people who harmed her, she remembered the taboo of the Great Art of Burning Blood. She knew that she could not maintain this state for long. Moreover, there were a few people in the Loyal Army whose martial arts were not below hers. It was impossible to kill them first.
The only feasible way now was to use her Lightness Skill to escape to a safe place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, there were many experts in the Loyal Army. Her hiding place was discovered several times, so Ren Yingying had to continue running. After so many times, she felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, and her vision was getting blurry.
She knew that the effect of the Art of Blood Ignition was coming to an end. When the time came, she would become even weaker than before. Ren Yingying bit her lips so hard that they almost bled. She used the pain in her body to stimulate herself to stay awake.
In fact, the Art of Blood Ignition wasn't that useless. Under normal circumstances, after sacrificing thirty years of life, one's power would skyrocket in a short period of time. Unfortunately, Ren Yingying's power was previously restricted by a special method, so most of the effect of using the Art of Blood Ignition was to break through the restriction. That was why the duration was so short.
After running and chasing, Ren Yingying was unknowingly forced to the Qiantang River. There was really no way forward, and there were pursuers behind her.
The Loyal Army surrounded her from afar, but did not rush forward. They were afraid that Ren Yingying still had the strength to fight back, but at the same time, they knew that she could not last long in this state. The longer she dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for them.
Ren Yingying smiled mournfully. These people had overestimated her. She was like a lamp that had run out of oil. If they were to charge at her, she would not be able to resist at all.
However, this was also good. At least it gave her a chance to choose.
Looking back at the raging river behind her, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Is my life going to end like this? Brother Chong …
Ren Yingying tried to think of Linghu Chong, but she was surprised to find that her mind was filled with the man she hated.
Normally, she would want nothing more than to kill him, but now that she was in a desperate situation, those grudges were completely forgotten. She couldn't help but think that she had encountered similar situations in the past, and it seemed that Song Qingshu had saved her?
Recalling the scene of him holding her with one hand and blocking all the enemies with the other, Ren Yingying sighed. Looks like I won't be so lucky every time.
While she was lost in thought, the Loyal Army's experts were also moved. They quietly surrounded her, ready to attack the moment they entered their attack range.
Ren Yingying looked at them in disgust. She then looked at the gradually blossoming rays in the east, knowing that the sun was about to rise.
"I really want to see the sunrise again." Ren Yingying sighed faintly, then jumped into the Qiantang River. After all, she was still a young lady and was still full of longing for the world. However, she knew that she did not have the time to wait for the sun to rise. The Loyal Army would soon pounce on her. Rather than falling into their hands and suffering humiliation, she might as well end her own life.
The moment she jumped in, she was swallowed by the raging river and disappeared in an instant.
The Loyal Army's men were shocked and ran to the side of the river to investigate. But other than the raging river, what else could they see?
The leader of the group frowned and said, "Everyone, look along the river."
A group of men complained, "There is no need. The river is so turbulent and cold. Even a martial arts expert would find it hard to survive, not to mention that she is seriously injured."
"If she is alive, I want to see her corpse. Otherwise, how are we going to explain this to the First Master?" The leader glared at the man. The rest of the men were shocked. They knew Zhang Rou's temperament and did not dare to be negligent. They spread out and searched the river.
Song Qingshu ran all the way and finally arrived at the Six Harmonies Pagoda. He found that it was already empty. His heart sank and he walked in with a serious expression. In the end, he found a few bodies of the Loyal Army's men in one of the rooms. He did not see Ren Yingying. Instead, he was happy. This situation was better than seeing her corpse.
Suddenly, his ears twitched. He faintly heard something in the wind. He quickly tiptoed and landed on the top of the Six Harmonies Pagoda like a swallow. He looked around.
Soon, he noticed something strange in the distance. His eyes were sharp. Even though he was a few miles away, he could tell that those people were Loyal Army's men. His whole body shot out like an arrow.
"Did you find her?" The leader of the Loyal Army asked in a deep voice.
"No." The men shook their heads.
"Who are you looking for?" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Nonsense, of course we are looking for Miss Ren." The small leader answered impatiently. Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, the group of people turned around in shock, just in time to see a young man standing behind them. Perhaps it was because he had appeared silently, but at this moment, there was a demonic and evil aura around him, and his slightly flickering eyes exuded a dangerous and ruthless aura.
"The Golden Snake King Song Qingshu!" Someone immediately recognized him. The group of men immediately pulled out their weapons to protect themselves. However, they were shocked to find that the air seemed to be frozen. They could not move their bodies at all.
"What happened just now?" Song Qingshu did not want to waste time. He walked directly in front of the leader and directly used the Soul Transfer Technique.
"Just now … Miss Ren …" The leader's body froze for a moment. Then, he answered in full detail.
The people of the Loyal Army were shocked. They thought that the leader would not say a word. After all, he was famous for being tough in the Loyal Army. They did not expect that he would confess so easily.
The group of people looked at him strangely. At this time, they found that his eyes had lost their usual spirit. Only visible confusion was left.
"Burning Blood Technique? Jumping into the river … "The ruthless aura in Song Qingshu's eyes became more and more intense." Since you made her like this, then … all of you can go to hell! "
The ten or so experts of the Loyal Army instantly stiffened. Their bodies were like ice sculptures. Their eyes still retained the horror before they died. They did not die because of some cold Yin Qi. Instead, their lives were directly destroyed by Song Qingshu's murderous aura.
In fact, dying like this was too easy for them. However, at this time, Song Qingshu was worried about Ren Yingying's safety. He did not have the time to torture them. After killing these people, Song Qingshu's whole body was like a roc spreading its wings. He also jumped into the turbulent Qiantang River.
However, unlike Ren Yingying, he did not directly fall into the water. Instead, he stood on the water and walked on the waves.
At this time, it was just before dawn. There was no one around. Otherwise, they would be shocked to see the scene in front of them. In the past, Dharma crossed the river on a reed. It was said to be a miracle for thousands of years. Now, Song Qingshu walked on the river directly.
However, Song Qingshu did not feel the slightest bit happy. With a heavy expression, he continued to search downstream. Calculating the time, according to the speed of the flow of the river, Ren Yingying had probably been washed dozens of miles away. Afraid that he had miscalculated, he specially asked the people of the Loyal Army. They had already searched for a few miles, but they did not find any trace of Ren Yingying.
Along the way, he used his qinggong to quickly walk on the waves. Although most of his attention was focused on the dozens of miles away, he did not dare to relax. His pair of sharp eyes constantly scanned the nearby river.
Unfortunately, this was the lower reaches of the Qiantang River. It was near the estuary. The river was many times wider than normal. In addition, there were waves everywhere. Even with Song Qingshu's eyesight, he could not see everything.
"Ying Ying Ying ~ Ying Ying ~" Song QingShu shouted as he searched. With his powerful inner force, even if there was the roaring sound of the river, his voice still spread to every corner of the river.
As Song Qingshu searched downstream, he secretly made up his mind. In the future, he must find Li Qiushui and learn her "Sound Transmission Soul Searching Technique". This encounter made him understand that no matter how strong his martial arts was, there were many times when he was helpless.
The Sound Transmission Soul Searching Technique was similar to the radar in the Wuxia world. If he knew this technique, he would not have been so passive when Huang Rong and Ying Ying were kidnapped.
Because he calculated that Ying Ying was probably washed dozens of miles away, Song Qingshu only swept his eyes along the way. Although there were many places he missed, he could not care about it. He could only desperately chase forward.
Along the way, he used his internal energy to call out Ren Yingying's name. After traveling dozens of miles like this, even with Song Qingshu's current internal energy, he could not support it. After all, for most people, when using qinggong, they could not open their mouth. Once they opened their mouth, their internal energy would leak. Only Song Qingshu could balance the two so well.
At this time, Ren Yingying was floating in the river. After soaking in the bone-chilling river for so long, her body was already cold and her consciousness was gradually fading.
"I really want to sleep …" Ren Yingying knew that once she fell asleep, she would probably never wake up again. However, it was too hard for her. Because of the side effects of the Great Art of Burning Blood, her body was already on the verge of collapse. In addition to the cold river water and the suffocating feeling of drowning, she really could not hold on anymore.
"In the past, I heard from the nanny that when people die, the person they love the most in their life will flash before their eyes. But why do I have to think of him?" Ren Yingying was in a trance and gradually closed her eyes.
