A loud bang shocked Zhao Ya, causing her to raise her head abruptly. She saw that above the pit of ten thousand corpses, there was a hole in the ceiling that was as thick as the sky.
As the rubble and debris fell, a beam of light pierced down, carrying with it the majestic might of the scorching sun, shining into the bottom of the pit of ten thousand corpses that had accumulated endless darkness.
The long-lost sunlight caused Zhao Ya's eyes to sting, but she still tried her best to open her eyes wide, not wanting to miss the spectacle in front of her. But then, her eyes were filled with fear …
Under the light beam, she could vaguely see a badly mutilated figure falling from the top along with the rubble and debris. But even if the figure was burned to ashes, Zhao Ya would still recognize him!
The sunlight was right in front of her, but Zhao Ya felt as if she had fallen into a cold cellar, and her body instinctively trembled. The figure had already smashed into the bottom of the pit and was buried by the rubble.
However, Zhao Ya didn't have any time to rejoice. In the next instant, the figure pushed aside the thick layer of stone and rose up. It was an ugly old man that would make others think of death and decay with a single glance. His hair was sparse and messy, his yellowish eyes bulged out, and his wrinkled skin was deathly gray. She could vaguely see the livor mortis of a dead person. At this moment, there were several wounds on his body that were so deep that bones could be seen.
But his body showed a vitality that was completely opposite to his appearance. The wounds on his body were healing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Even because his healing ability was too strong, his skin and flesh did not stop growing after the wounds were closed, wrapping the sand, moss, and even small worms that were stuck on the wounds into the new skin and flesh. The twisted sarcomas and abscesses formed on the wounds, adding a bit of ugliness to his appearance.
On the other hand, Zhao Ya was very clearly aware that when compared to the old man's heart, his repulsive appearance was nothing worth mentioning at all. Because the old man before her was her Master, her nightmare, and her deepest fear. He was Gu Xuanzhi who'd committed countless crimes and was invincible!
But at this moment, Gu Xuanren did not notice her at all. His bulging eyes stared up, as if he was guarding against a great enemy. Although Gu Xuanren's injuries could be healed, his aura was still scattered, and his True Essence seemed to be close to exhaustion. He was in a sorry state that Zhao Ya had never seen before.
Zhao Ya hurriedly held her breath, but she was secretly surprised. Who could have forced Gu Xuanzheng to such an extent in his territory?
Although she was not very knowledgeable, it was enough for her to use in the Southern Border. In the Southern Border, there were many mountains and hundreds of races living together. Apart from the Tree God Zhi Liye who was worshiped by the people, there were also Xuan Ke of the Undying Valley and Wanshou Chun, the Master of Animal Daoist, who had gone through hundreds of tribulations.
However, Wanshou Chun and Gu Xuanren had never interfered with each other. It was said that no one had really seen her in the past few generations. Zhao Ya even suspected that she was just a legend.
Could it be someone from outside the Southern Border? It was said that Gu Xuanling was severely injured by a Human Race swordsman who came to seek revenge when he was out. Could it be that he came to fight again?
But she soon got the answer. Gu Xuanling was panting heavily, and as he panted, all the pustules on his body bulged at the same time. He looked up at the entrance of the cave and said, "What a good Young Master Peacock … I have been in the Southern Border for decades, but I didn't know that the Demon Race … had such an expert like you."
"Ha, you are a frog at the bottom of a well. You don't know how big the world is. Why do you have to show your ignorance in front of me?" An arrogant voice came from where Gu Xuanling was looking up. The speaker stood at the end of the light source, making it impossible to look at him directly. The strong light covered his appearance, but also cast his huge shadow into the bottom of the pit.
Gu Xuanling, who was at the bottom of the pit, was shrouded in a huge shadow, making him look unexpectedly small.
At this moment, Gu Xuanling, who was looking up at the sky, really looked like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Gu Xuanling was a frog, a stinky frog at the bottom of a well!
Zhao Ya didn't even dare to think of such a thought in the past, but at this moment, it echoed and magnified in her heart. With the opening of the pit of ten thousand corpses, the thick cocoon in her heart that she had built up over the years seemed to have been smashed open.
For a moment, Zhao Ya felt that the fear she had endured for so many years had become a joke.
"Ha." Zhao Ya couldn't help but laugh.
But this moment was enough for Gu Xuanling to notice it. Gu Xuanling turned his head, and surprise flashed in his turbid eyes. Zhao Ya, who was locked on by his dim yellow eyes, immediately felt as if she had fallen into a cold cellar. Gu Xuanling might be a frog, but she was a worm, a worm that was used as bait to feed on the frog!
She didn't know why she, who had always been cautious, laughed out loud just now. Was it because she couldn't bear the burden and broke down? Or was it because she had given up on herself and went crazy?
But she knew that with a single thought, Gu Xuanling could take over her body and control her to launch an unexpected suicidal attack, using her life to help Gu Xuanling avert the danger.
But a figure was faster than her thought!
At the moment when Gu Xuanling turned his head, a fluttering cloak seemed to appear out of thin air and fluttered in front of Zhao Ya, blocking the pair of turbid eyes that made her feel fearful.
And at this moment, the arrogant voice from just now was already close to her ears.
"Oh? And two little demons? Don't worry, hide behind this Young Master. This frog can't harm the two of you. "
Zhao Ya composed herself. The death she expected hadn't arrived, and her body was still under her control. Moreover, an insufferably arrogant and tall figure was standing proudly before her.
The figure grabbed forward with one hand, and it condensed into an enormous black claw that was coiled with ghastly qi, and Gu Xuanling was clamped beneath the black claw.
Zhao Ya didn't know that her light laughter had actually become the key to deciding the outcome of the battle.
Even though her laughter allowed Gu Xuanling to notice her existence, it also caused him to be distracted, and that instant of distraction actually caused him to be restrained.
Gu Xuanling still struggled, but when he saw that as he struggled, his body and divine sense had already been dislocated, yet he was still unable to escape the shackles, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise. "What cultivation technique is this? It's actually capable of restraining my divine sense as well?"
"Are you rejoicing? Die under this Young Master's Peacock Netherworld Seal. You'll be able to gain some knowledge before you perish! "As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous claw suddenly tightened.
Zhao Ya stared blankly as Gu Xuanling's body and divine sense were crushed by the enormous claw, and they dispersed into mush and tainted blood that covered the sky. The nightmare that she couldn't get rid of had vanished before her eyes, and it caused Zhao Ya to feel as if her nerves that had been strained for many years had suddenly relaxed, causing her legs to go weak as she fell to the ground.
"Hmm? Are you alright? " The figure before her turned around in a carefree and unrestrained manner, and his cloak fluttered along with his movements, causing violent gales to swirl furiously, and Gu Xuanling's flesh and blood hadn't even dispersed before they were completely swept away.
The appearance of the figure was revealed for the first time, and he was actually a handsome young master. His eyes were long and narrow like phoenixes, and his brows were raised upwards. He seemed to be arrogant and possessed a bearing that looked down upon the heavens and the earth, and even the sunlight seemed to be chasing after his peerless elegance. At this moment, the sunlight shone onto his embroidered robe that fluttered along with the wind, and it reflected a seven colored radiance.
"So the seven colored radiance really exists …" That was the first time Zhao Ya had seen her salvation. It was right before her eyes, and it was dazzling and resplendent. Zhao Ya gazed at it in a daze, and she wanted to stretch out her hand to touch that radiance.
At this moment, another figure descended swiftly from above to descend to the side of the young master. It was a graceful and otherworldly woman that carried a sword on her back.
"How did you charge so quickly? Gu Xuanling is sinister and crafty, and he has numerous lackeys. Aren't you afraid of falling into his ambush?" The woman grumbled, yet her concern was overflowing from her words.
"You're too late. We're already surrounded by Gu Xuanling," said the young master as he stood with his hands behind his back.
The woman drew her sword in a stern manner when she heard this, and she said with vigilance, "What? Where's Gu Xuanling? "
"He's beneath your feet, on the walls, and in the cracks between the rocks … Gu Xuanling has already been torn into a thousand pieces by this young master. Now, we're surrounded by the dregs of his flesh and blood." The corners of the young master's mouth curled up, and he finally revealed a teasing expression.
"He's dead?" The woman realized that this was a joke, yet she still had vigilance on her face when she looked at the surroundings, and she said with disbelief, "He's really dead? Gu Xuanling is said to be undying after a hundred tribulations, and even my Fifth Senior Brother was unable to kill him. Don't be careless. "
The young master said proudly, "Undying after a hundred tribulations? Ha! I really hope he's worthy of his name. Killing that toad once isn't enough for me to enjoy myself to my heart's content! "
"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful that good things don't come true." The woman hurriedly stopped him, and then she sighed. "I hope he's really dead this time. Only in this way can I comfort my Second Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister."
After that, the woman paid attention to Zhao Ya and the others. "Hmm, who are these two?"
"They're naturally pitiful little demons that were manipulated by Gu Xuanling like parasites in the grave. Hmph! Women are the products of the heavens and the earth, yet they were actually bullied and humiliated by Gu Xuanling to such an extent. Even killing him a hundred times wouldn't be enough!" The young master grunted coldly, and then he stretched out a hand towards Zhao Ya. "How is it? Can you still get up? Could it be that you've been stained by that toad's filthy blood? "
The young master and the fairy in front of her were bathed in the sunlight, unrestrained, elegant, and otherworldly. They were like a perfect couple made in heaven.
Zhao Ya looked at the young master's hand that was reaching out towards her, but she suddenly didn't dare to hold it tightly.
She was too dirty.
She wasn't stained by Gu Xuanling's filthy blood, but long before that, she was already extremely filthy.
At that moment, Zhao Ya understood. It turned out that the insects that lived in the dark all yearned to see the colorful light of the sky. But when the light really came, the insects would shrink back into the darkness in fear …
- = - =
And now, in the darkness, Zhao Ya opened her eyes.
The sharp pain in her chest pulled her back from her memories. In front of her, Han Fu was holding a dagger and stabbing it into her chest.
The piercing pain made Zhao Ya clench her teeth, but she let out a cold breath and said coldly, "You're so stupid. I've treated you like this, but you still can't kill me?"
Although the dagger pierced into her flesh, causing a flower of blood to bloom, it stopped right in front of her heart. Han Fu raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and said with a trembling voice, "I can't do it, I can't do it. Back then in the Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses, you were the one who saved me. Why are you forcing me to kill you today!"
Zhao Ya sneered and said, "What does it have to do with me? The one who saved you was the young master! I'm not going overboard, I gave you half a frog, and you still can't forget it? "
Han Fu shook her head, letting the tears fall from her eyes, and revealed the secret buried in her heart, "No, it's you, Sister Ya. Do you know that back then, I was extremely hungry, and I didn't expect you to share the frog with me? At that time, I hid a sharpened stone behind my back, and I wanted to kill you … So, thank you …"
Thank what?
Was she thanking the frog, or was she thanking Zhao Ya's kindness, which prevented her from falling into the abyss?
Zhao Ya didn't know, and she didn't want to ask. She was slightly stunned, and seemed to be slightly surprised, but then she sighed faintly and said, "Is that so? So you still haven't improved, and you still do things half-way … I told you, you will die like this! "
Just as Zhao Ya finished speaking, her originally immobile arm suddenly moved, and her slender fingers flew like a butterfly, pointing at the center of Han Fu's eyebrows.
Han Fu didn't expect Zhao Ya, who had her meridians sealed, to be able to make a move at this time. Her own cultivation was far from Zhao Ya's, and at this time, she was even more unprepared. She only felt her vision go black, and then she lost consciousness and fainted.
Zhao Ya vomited a mouthful of blood, and actually slowly pulled out the dagger from her chest, not afraid of the wound being pulled, and stood up with difficulty.
Her face turned pale due to the loss of blood, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she staggered forward, and used her hand to cover the bleeding wound.
She weaved a fine silk thread in her palm, stitching up the torn flesh and the torn clothes thread by thread.
At this time, if one could look into her body through the wound, one would discover that there were layers of silk threads wrapping around her heart, as if to seal her heart, wrapping her heart into a cocoon.
No one knew that this was one of Zhao Ya's ultimate skills that she had honed in the southern border. Using the supernatural powers of the butterfly demon, she used the tough worm silk to weave a cocoon around the heart, and to a certain extent, it could resist the stabbing of a sword piercing through the heart.
And the moment her meridians were sealed by Qin Feng, she turned the remaining demon qi in her meridians into silk threads, and connected it to the heart at the center of the meridians.
In this way, once the heart was attacked, the cocoon outside would dissipate the force, and the force would spread along the silk threads to the various meridians, and borrow the force to break through the restriction of the meridians.
Therefore, Zhao Ya kept using words to provoke Han Fu, and Han Fu also stabbed her as Zhao Ya expected.
But at the last moment, Han Fu suddenly stopped, and as a result, he did not have enough strength, and forced her to hurt her own heart meridians at the moment her inner qi loosened. Using the force of the self-injury, she forcefully broke through the restriction of the meridians.
Forcefully breaking through the meridians caused her every meridian to be in pain, and the stitched wound on her chest made every step she took a heart-wrenching torture, and provoking Han Fu, was even more so an act of risking her life.
But Zhao Ya did not care, ignoring the pain all over her body, step by step, she resolutely walked forward, with only one thought in her mind.
"Gongzi, this time let me save you."
