Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the winter moon was over, and half of the twelfth lunar month had passed. New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer.
...
On this day, the sky was just right, and everything was bright and beautiful.
However, Shen Nanqi's mood was very gloomy.
His current location was on the east side of Tangshe Town, probably on the West Mountain. It should be very close to the abandoned Little Forest Town.
But he couldn't be sure. He had lost his way.
He could clearly see north, south, east, and west, but he always circled around a few times and returned to this place.
Shen Nanqi didn't dare to take any more risks, especially when his junior brothers and sisters were seriously injured and couldn't control themselves.
He keenly sensed that this was a conspiracy against the disciples of the Dao Academy!
There were a total of five people traveling with him. At this time, only he and another junior brother could still move on their own. He was the only one who still had combat strength.
In the entire Maplewood City area, the West Mountain was located in the northeast. He didn't know how the name "West Mountain" came about.
Previously, there was a group of bandits here. After they were wiped out by Jiang Wang, who was still an outer sect disciple at that time, this place was peaceful for a long time.
Shen Nanqi led the team into the Qichang Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts. It was originally an ordinary training mission, but they were attacked outside Tangshe Town.
They fought all the way. Calculating the distance, they should have reached the West Mountain. Because they were heading east.
However, after reaching this place, the direction had lost its meaning.
He didn't know much about formations, and he couldn't leave his junior brothers and sisters to take the risk.
Those heretics hiding in the dark seemed to want to slowly exhaust him to death. They would only launch an attack from time to time, and not all of them would come.
At this point, he could only wait. He had already seized the opportunity to light the incense asking for help.
Now, it was time to see if the reinforcements would arrive first, or if he couldn't hold on and fell first.
...
He couldn't count how many attacks it had been. His reserve of Dao Energy was almost exhausted.
The last teammate standing also fell. He was lucky to survive because of his outburst. However, he actually understood that it was only a matter of time. If he couldn't be treated in time...
The Dao vortex in the Heavenly Palace rotated, brewing the rebirth of Dao Energy. However, Shen Nanqi didn't know if he could wait until that moment.
No, he definitely could.
Shen Nanqi didn't look back. He knew who was behind him. That was his teammates.
And he, Shen Nanqi, would never give up.
..
Casually grabbing a sword, he faced his opponent head-on. He did not have much Dao Energy left, so he tried his best to use it sparingly.
Although he had never cultivated a transcendent sword manual, he was able to display a certain level of combat prowess by controlling his body with the cultivation of a Heaven Ascension realm. Of course, it couldn't compare to the Dao technique system that he had been immersed in for many years.
After exchanging a few blows, Shen Nanqi drifted back. His opponent fell to the ground with a loud thud. There was a hole in his heart, and blood kept gushing out. It was caused by the Golden Light Arrow.
He had no choice but to use his Dao technique again.
Finally, it dried up completely.
Was it over? He thought.
In his field of vision, more and more Heretics walked out.
These people didn't hide their faces because they didn't plan to let anyone go.
The sun shone brightly on the mountains.
In the bright forest, a figure was moving swiftly.
A long saber slashed across.
The saber light reflected the sunlight, and the silhouette passed through the silhouette.
Blood splattered, and a head flew off.
The Swift Snow Blade arrived … Wei Yan appeared.
The Heterodox Demon Cultivators that were about to gather suddenly dispersed and disappeared in a few turns.
In such a formation, they were able to attack or retreat.
"I didn't expect it to be you who came to save me," said Shen Nanqi.
Wei Yan looked behind him, and said indifferently, "You're still the same. If you left alone, you would have left long ago. "
"Don't talk nonsense. When will the rest of them come? We can't break out of this formation with just the two of us. "Shen Nanqi seized the time to catch his breath and recover as much strength as possible.
"Just the two of us," said Wei Yan, "and no one else."
"What?"
"They can't make it in time, so I'll come alone."
Shen Nanqi took a deep breath, and said, "Then you call people now. If we work together, we can defend for a while."
"Don't you understand? These Heterodox Demon Cultivators want to besiege the city and attack the reinforcements. We can't add any more fuel to the fire. These people must have made it so complicated. They must have a big plan. If the City Guard suffers too many casualties, Maplewood City may be in danger. " Wei Yan was very decisive. He turned around with his saber. "If you come with me, we still have a chance to break out."
"Then what about them?" said Shen Nanqi angrily.
Wei Yan looked back, and casually summoned four long swords. He threw them accurately beside the four seriously injured disciples of the Taoist Academy.
Clang!
The four disciples were also decisive. Regardless of gender, they all held their swords horizontally.
They had waited for a long time, and watched as Shen Nanqi held on alone for a long time.
Wei Yan did not disguise his words, and directly told them there was no hope.
Not dragging Shen Nanqi down was the best result.
"Don't!"
Shen Nanqi went forward to take it, but Wei Yan grabbed him.
How could his tired body break through Wei Yan's blockade?
Seeing his four junior brothers and sisters commit suicide in front of him, Shen Nanqi's eyes were red. "Wei Yan! Are you here to save people or to kill people? "
He seemed to see that night again.
That night with the color of blood.
At that time, he and Wei Yan had been present.
It was Wei Yan who had made this choice.
That night, his and Wei Yan's mutual friend had died tragically in front of them, burned to ashes.
Not even his bones remained.
"If you can save them, then save them. If you can't, then why waste time?" Wei Yan turned coldly. "If you want to avenge them, then follow."
"Wei Yan!" Shen Nanqi's voice was not so much a roar as a cry.
"If you have the strength, why don't you kill a few more Heterodox so that they can rest in peace?" Wei Yan held Fast Snow and chopped the tree.
He looked at the tree rings and walked straight.
"The formation can deceive our eyes, but it can't deceive trees. Because trees have no eyes, only the instinct of life. "
Shen Nanqi held back his tears and followed him without saying a word.
He also knew in his heart that it was not a bad choice for his junior brothers and sisters to commit suicide. At least they could avoid a more painful experience. But emotionally, he couldn't accept such an outcome.
He had worked so hard for so long and persisted for so long. But he still couldn't save anyone.
Not a single one.
He almost went crazy.
Along the way, the Heterodox organized two large-scale attacks, but they were all defeated by Wei Yan and Shen Nanqi, who was already crazy.
However, until they walked down the mountain, the masters Wei Yan expected didn't appear.
Tangshe Town was in the west. Shen Nanqi, who was in a daze, walked west.
"Go south," Wei Yan said.
Shen Nanqi followed and didn't ask anything.
But Wei Yan still explained, "On the way to help just now, we bumped into a group of academy disciples who also came to help. They haven't appeared yet. They're probably lost somewhere. We have to go take a look. "
Shen Nanqi turned to look at him. His eyes slowly regained their spirit, but they were angry. "You said no one will come to help?"
"It's too late," Wei Yan said indifferently. "If we stay there and slowly lose blood, you will die, and I may not be able to survive."
He added, "And you see, the team that came to help has already been lost."
"You always make the choice like this." Shen Nanqi gritted his teeth and said, "I hope that one day, when you are put in such a choice, you will gladly endure it!"
Wei Yan just leaped forward, leaving all the sunlight behind him.
"You don't have to bless me. When I was five years old, I was chosen like this. "
