Xie Lian was silent for a long time. The hilt of the long saber was burning red.
Mu Qing let out a loud shout.
He let go of one hand and hung for a while with the other. He didn't dare to hold on for too long and grabbed again. But his palms were already emitting white smoke. Although he was far away, he was still able to see the smoke.
The others also seemed to have smelled the smell of burnt meat.
Hua Cheng casually released a silver butterfly.
The silver butterfly flapped its wings.
After flying for a few dozen feet, it was not even a third of the distance to Mu Qing.
He turned into a wisp of silver vapor.
He vanished into thin air.
Xie Lian knew that he was showing off.
The Necromancer Butterfly could not help either.
A dead end was not worth risking one's life to try.
Mu Qing also saw the process of the silver butterfly disappearing.
His expression gradually became one of despair.
He understood. Now, firstly, no one had the ability to save him.
Secondly, no one believed him, especially when he had been struck by lightning in every possible way.
Xie Lian wouldn't risk his life to help him.
However..,
Although he was in despair, he was still unwilling to give up.
Mu Qing gritted his teeth and shouted, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I won't fall down just like that!"
As he spoke, he exerted more strength in his hands, as if he wanted to spin in the air and stand on the hilt. Unexpectedly, his body had just risen a few inches when he suddenly sank back down!
Mu Qing looked down, and his eyes reflected the countless wraiths that had been melted into blood red. Their twisted faces and limbs were stuck to his legs and body, pulling him down!
These vengeful spirits were originally dissolved in the flowing magma, but they suddenly emerged and hung on his lower body one after another. They were incomparably heavy and scalding hot, like adding oil to a fire and adding snow to snow. Mu Qing was about to go crazy: "Scram!!!"
In the past few hundred years, it was not that he had never been on the verge of death. But that was because he'd suffered heavy injuries, and dying in the lava was a thousand times more terrifying than dying from injuries. When he thought about how he was going to transform into a strand of smoke and vanish without a trace like the lifeless Necro Butterfly, he was utterly unable to accept it.
Finally, Mu Qing's hands reached their limit. His fingers loosened slightly, and he could no longer hold on.
There was nothing under the knife — he had fallen!
A figure fell towards the blazing Inferno Pond below. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
However, even though he cried out miserably, after his body fell for a distance, he suddenly stopped in mid-air and hung in mid-air!
Mu Qing was still in a state of shock. Half of his scalp was numb, but his instincts were still there. He quickly touched his body. It turned out that a piece of white silk was wrapped around his waist.
It was naturally Ruo Xie. However, the palace Xie Lian resided in wasn't close to the cliff he fell from. Ruo Xie couldn't even reach over before, so how could he pull him back after he fell for a while?
Mu Qing looked up and was surprised to find that Xie Lian was not on the roof of the palace at all. He was right above him.
Previously, Mu Qing had nailed the long saber into the rock and held on to the hilt for a while. Xie Lian was currently kneeling on the hilt of the saber!
Xie Lian hurriedly retracted Ruoxie while looking down. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Good, good, I made it in time."
Mu Qing murmured, "… Crown Prince?"
That moment just now had been too exciting, so much so that his brain was still a bit muddled. Such a long distance, with nothing but rolling lava in the middle and no other footholds. Xie Lian could at most jump halfway, so how did he get here?
In the distance, Feng Xin's voice came over. "Your Highness! Are you guys alright? "
Mu Qing looked towards the direction of the voice. On the roof of the palace, only Hua Cheng and Feng Xin stood. Hua Cheng crossed his arms and stared at them, as if he was confirming Xie Lian's safety. He didn't care about anything else. And in the middle of the line between the palace and where he fell from the cliff, a pitch-black longsword stood coldly in the incessantly flowing scarlet lava.
Maiden Heart!
So that's how it was! Mu Qing finally understood how Xie Lian got here.
With Xie Lian's jumping ability, he could at most jump halfway. He couldn't directly jump from the safe roof of the palace to where he fell to save him. Therefore, Xie Lian first threw out the Maiden Heart and placed the sword in the middle of the lava, using it as a foothold. Then, using the Maiden Heart as a starting point, he jumped onto Feng Xin's sword. At the moment of imminent peril, he threw out Ruo Xie, barely managing to catch him.
Xie Lian said, "Just now, I was trying to think of a way. There really wasn't anything useful here, so I spent some time. You were too impatient. Don't act recklessly. If you act recklessly, you'll fall even faster. "
Mu Qing originally thought Xie Lian's silence was because he was hesitating on whether or not to save him. However, it turned out he was actually thinking about how to save him. Fortunately, the situation just now was so critical, yet Xie Lian could still think calmly.
The beads of sweat on his forehead became even denser.
Raising his head, Xie Lian extended a hand towards him. Beaming, he said, "In short, although it was a bit late, this hand isn't too late, right?"
"… …"
He didn't know if it was because he had held onto the hilt for too long, but Mu Qing unexpectedly felt his arm become incomparably heavy, unable to lift it up. Xie Lian once again extended his hand downwards and said, "Get up."
Mu Qing finally grabbed onto his hand.
His entire arm was faintly trembling. Xie Lian exerted strength and pulled him up. Together, the two of them stood on the hilt of Mu Qing's longsword. Xie Lian turned around and waved towards the rooftop. "San Lang, success!"
Hua Cheng said, "Alright, Gege, come back now, immediately!"
Xie Lian replied, "Alright, I'll come back immediately!" He then turned his head to ask Mu Qing, "Can you still jump? If you can't, how about I carry you? "
Mu Qing's lips moved before he said, "I … …"
Xie Lian observed his expression and decisively said, "I'll carry you." As he said this, he grabbed onto Xie Lian's back. In the past, Mu Qing probably would have secretly rolled his eyes and told him not to grab onto him like this. It was disrespectful, but now, he couldn't say anything.
Just as Xie Lian was about to jump up, who knew that right at this moment, the two of them simultaneously felt their feet sway.
Unfortunately, the longsword that had been nailed into the rock didn't loosen earlier or later. Instead, it just had to loosen now!
Hua Cheng's expression abruptly changed as he shouted, "Gege!!!"
This time, it was two figures that fell towards the crimson pool of fire. Even when this kind of fire was burning his buttocks, Xie Lian was still able to rapidly think. He said, "I'm fine!" He flipped a few times in midair before grabbing onto the longsword in the air. Using both hands, he once again nailed the longsword into the rock!
With a 'dang' sound, beads of fire splashed out, extremely dazzling. Outside of Xie Lian's protective spiritual aura, these fire particles were like fragmented golden sand. However, if this layer of protective spiritual aura disappeared, even a speck of fire would be able to burn a hole through a living person!
Ruo Xie lifted Mu Qing up. Xie Lian solemnly said to him, "This longsword can't bear the weight of two grown men for too long. It can't go on like this. Between the two of us, only one can stay here. "
Mu Qing slightly regained his senses and said, "You mean … …"
Xie Lian said, "You don't need to stay."
"… …???"
Mu Qing's pupils slightly contracted. Before he could open his mouth, Xie Lian had already grabbed him and forcefully tossed him upwards. He shouted, "Watch carefully!"
After Mu Qing was tossed over the cliff, he discovered that he was flying towards the place where Fragrant Heart stood. Calming his mind, he flipped in the air and landed on the hilt of Fragrant Heart's sword.
Only now did he understand why Xie Lian had tossed him up first.
Because, at this distance, perhaps Xie Lian could directly jump over from the hilt of the longsword that had moved several meters downwards. However, he couldn't.
For him, this distance was too far. He had borrowed the force of Xie Lian's throw to be able to come up!
Feng Xin wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Fortunately, Your Highness reacted quickly!"
Hua Cheng's expression was solemn as he looked down and said, "Gege! If you still didn't come back, I would have directly gone down to find you! "
His tone carried a hint of warning. Xie Lian hurriedly said, "I'm coming up right now! The situation isn't too bad, it can't be considered difficult to deal with. I can jump over by myself, so don't come down. "
Only then did Hua Cheng's expression soften a bit. However, he still didn't take his eyes off Xie Lian. Feng Xin looked at him and couldn't help but say, "… … It's quite unexpected."
Hua Cheng didn't even turn his head. Without the slightest bit of curiosity, he said, "What?"
Feng Xin scratched his head and said, "I thought that you had a lot of opinions about Mu Qing and felt that he wasn't worth saving. You would oppose His Highness saving him and not let him go."
Only then did Hua Cheng glance at him and say, "Half wrong, half right."
"Ah?"
Hua Cheng said, "The first part of your sentence is correct. I indeed feel that he isn't worth saving. What he does has nothing to do with me."
Looking at his indifferent expression, Feng Xin blushed with shame. "You're too direct!"
Furthermore, when he thought about the possibility that this person also had the same attitude towards him, he felt even more ashamed!
Hua Cheng sneered. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, His Highness's choice is up to him alone. I will never oppose it."
"… …"
Feng Xin had never heard such words before. Men didn't even have such feelings towards women, let alone men. He only felt that if Xie Lian heard this, he would definitely be in trouble again. Not knowing what kind of expression he should show, he could only say, "… … Ah. That's how it is. "
Hua Cheng turned his head and stared at Xie Lian, who was observing his surroundings amidst the flames and thinking of countermeasures. He faintly smiled and said, "Moreover, I already knew that he would do that."
On the other side, Xie Lian said, "Mu Qing, hurry up and go up to the roof. Don't run anymore. If there's anything, we can talk about it later."
Only then did Mu Qing react. If he didn't leave his heart, Xie Lian wouldn't have a place to take his next step. Forcing himself to think calmly, he prepared to return to the roof. Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, Xie Lian suddenly shouted from below, "Who is it?!"
Xie Lian stood on the blade, silently gathering strength. Suddenly, the flame waterfall behind him parted, and a pair of hands reached out from the waterfall and grabbed him.
That thing had clearly come out from the flame waterfall, yet those hands were terrifyingly cold. Xie Lian shivered and heard Hua Cheng say from above, "Your Highness?!"
That pair of hands tightly hugged Xie Lian, bringing him down from the blade. Xie Lian's face was filled with shock. Meanwhile, the people above clearly saw what was grabbing him from behind.
That person was dressed in white, and his face wore a half-crying, half-smiling mask. It looked like he was happy and sad at the same time.
Bai WuXiang!
Ruo Xie sensed danger and spontaneously flew upwards, leaping past Mu Qing's eyes. Mu Qing subconsciously grabbed onto it, but the force coming from the other end of the white silk was too great. Not only did he fail to grab onto it, but it also dragged him down.
Xie Lian rapidly descended amidst the madly flying sparks. He heard that thing laugh next to his ear, "Hahahahaha … … Naive! Too naive, Xian Le! Did you think that it would be so easy to get the best of both worlds? "
Below him was a scorching heatwave, yet in his heart, he felt his blood run cold. Between the two heavens of ice and fire, Xie Lian raised his head and looked up. Above him, amidst the flames and light that filled the dome, he unexpectedly saw a faintly discernible red shadow approaching.
Hua Cheng had also jumped down!
