As Jiang Shijian screamed in terror, Yun Xiaoyao's consciousness became more and more blurry.
"This is all I can do. I'll leave the rest to you, Lin Yun. You must protect Xi'er well …"
Yun Xiaoyao recited these words in his heart before he slowly closed his eyes.
The things he had experienced in the latter half of his life flashed through his mind like a horse lantern.
"Reporting to Master, the young mistress has given birth. It's a girl."
"Master, something bad has happened! The young master was decapitated by Jiang Shijian in a duel with him! The young mistress died tragically under Jiang Shijian's sword as she avenged the young master! "
"Patriarch, there's good news, great news! Eldest Miss has broken through to the Martial Warrior realm and awakened an Earth Rank martial soul that rivals that of Kang Nam-gun! "
"Eldest Miss has caught the eye of the core elder of the Yuzhou Martial House, Bai Juyi. He can take her in as a core disciple of the Martial House …"
As Yun Xiaoyao was dying, the images that flashed through his mind were all related to his most beloved granddaughter, Yun Ruoxi.
All he could think of in his mind was Yun Ruoxi alone.
How he wished that he could see Yun Ruoxi one last time before he died. Caressing her obedient little head once more, telling her the story of his great-grandfather once more.
Unfortunately, this wish, which could usually be easily fulfilled, could no longer be fulfilled in this lifetime.
As Yun Xiaoyao's consciousness faded, all the images of Yun Ruoxi in his mind were plunged into complete darkness …
The moment Yun Xiaoyao died, the self-destruct talisman on his chest was like a bottomless pit, devouring the energy in his body in a frenzy.
"I must not die!" Jiang Shijian roared hysterically, exploding with a shocking amount of energy before he died.
He twisted his head violently and tilted his neck, allowing the already dead Yun Xiaoyao to bite off a large chunk of flesh from his neck.
Disregarding the fresh blood gushing from his neck, he quickly gathered his spiritual Qi on his left palm, forming a sharp blade made of Qi. He slashed at Yun Xiaoyao's left hand, severing his arm from the elbow.
At the same time that Yun Xiaoyao's arm was severed, Jiang Shijian kicked Yun Xiaoyao hard and sent him flying.
Because of the recoil from this kick, he turned into a shadow and flew backwards.
The moment both of them separated, the self-exploding talisman stuck to Yun Xiaoyao's chest had already accumulated its energy to the maximum.
The next moment.
Yun Xiaoyao's body exploded into a dazzling ball of light. Like an exploding star, it expanded rapidly, devouring everything in its path in a frenzy.
Rumble!
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the ground instantly caved in. The layer of soil was torn apart like a piece of paper, flying away from the ground. The courtyard walls collapsed in an instant, and the buildings collapsed.
The dazzling and dazzling light enveloped the entire scene and concealed everything, causing the scene to become blurry.
The bright daylight lasted for a short moment before it suddenly dimmed, transforming into a dark red mushroom fire cloud that rolled into the sky with thick smoke.
When the mushroom fire cloud disappeared, everything calmed down.
In the center of the Yun Family's courtyard, a huge pit with a diameter of thirty meters appeared. The center of the pit was sunken in by three meters, and the scorched earth in the pit still burned with residual sparks.
Jiang Shijian, who was drenched in blood, crawled out of the ruins of the building a hundred meters away with difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the pit with a savage expression. "This damned old lunatic, he almost made me die with him! Damn it, I will kill every last one of your Yun family descendants! "
…
On the small path between the mountains dozens of miles away.
Crack!
The jade pendant hanging from Yun Ruoxi's waist suddenly shattered without warning, turning into shards that fell to the ground.
Yun Ruoxi, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped in her tracks, causing the entire group to stop as well.
"First Miss, what's wrong?"
"First Miss, is something the matter?"
Yun Ruoxi did not turn around. Faced with the crowd's concerned questions, she only shook her head and said, "Nothing, continue forward."
After she finished speaking, two streaks of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, but she continued forward as if nothing had happened.
Yun Ruoxi's jade pendant was given to her personally by Yun Xiaoyao when she awakened her Earth Rank martial soul.
Since then, she had always carried this jade pendant with her and had never taken it off.
At this moment, however, this jade pendant had shattered on her body. This was a clear indication that Yun Xiaoyao had already perished.
Thinking of this, Yun Ruoxi's face was already covered in tears. Her petite body trembled as she clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh and causing fresh blood to flow.
The memories that had accumulated in her mind gushed forth like a fountain at this moment. She could not help but recall the scene when Yun Xiaoyao told her stories about her great-grandfather when she was young and ignorant.
At the time, she did not know that the purpose of Yun Xiaoyao telling her these stories was to teach her the philosophy of life, to teach her how to stand her ground in this world where martial prowess reigned supreme.
At the time, she only thought that these stories were boring, but Yun Xiaoyao repeated them over and over again until calluses formed in her ears.
Therefore, every time Yun Xiaoyao told her these stories, she would be extremely impatient. Sometimes, she would throw a tantrum and even think of ways to avoid Yun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, she yearned so much to see this loving grandfather again. She asked him to rub her head and listen to the story of her great-grandfather one more time.
Unfortunately, this wish that could usually be easily fulfilled was never going to be fulfilled in this lifetime.
She regretted so much. She regretted why she had hidden from her grandfather, why she had lost her temper at him, why she did not have the patience to listen to his stories.
She wanted to listen now, but she would never be able to hear it again. She would never be able to hear it again!
She hated herself so much. She blamed herself so much that she would never be able to forgive herself!
…
Because they had fled in a hurry, they did not prepare any horses.
A group of more than three hundred people could only rely on foot.
After fleeing for more than two hours, everyone was exhausted.
"Let's take a short break before we continue our journey," Yun Ruoxi said to the group as she stopped in a spacious clearing.
Everyone relaxed and leaned against the tree trunks to rest.
Yun Ruoxi came to Lin Ying's back and put the unrecognizable Lin Yun down from Lin Ying's back to check on his condition.
At this moment, Lin Yun's skin was dry and cracked, and he was wrapped in a layer of dark red blood. The blood in his body was like Lin Ying's tears; it had long been drained to the point where there was no blood left to flow.
Seeing Lin Yun's state, Yun Ruoxi's heart sank to the bottom, and a deep sense of despair welled up within her.
Lin Yun didn't look like a human at all.
This was like a dried corpse that was tied to a red-hot copper pillar after undergoing the death penalty of a thousand cuts, and was then burned by the burning of a cannon!
If not for his faint aura, Yun Ruoxi would have thought that he was already dead.
Yun Ruoxi felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive after being reduced to such a state.
