Chapter 1308 If I Hadn’t Met You (10)
Mingtong understood the tenderness and relief in Ji Wushuang's eyes, but her heart couldn't help but ache, and her face turned pale: "You... Wushuang... don't you hate me?"
Ji Wushuang shook his head.
She knew clearly the purpose for the master's initial approach to her, but she also understood clearly that her future was paved for her by the master with his strength and life, and it was the master who saved her from displacement and suffering.
It is said that we should judge by deeds rather than by intentions.
No matter how this master-disciple relationship began, the master did not hurt her and did his best to protect her, and that was enough.
"Don't worry, the future you're worried about won't happen."
Since her master chose to believe in her, she would also believe in herself. She believed that she would not be swayed by the so-called fate and future.
She will move forward step by step towards her determined path.
Mingtong choked up in his throat, raised his hand and gently hugged her: "I'm sorry, Wushuang..."
Ji Wushuang shook his head: "You are not sorry for me. On the contrary, thank you... for appearing in my life and guiding me when I was most confused."
Mingtong wanted to say something, but her fading strength made it impossible for her to support herself. In the end, she could only collapse limply in Ji Wushuang's arms, unconscious.
When Mingtong woke up, she had been sent to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. The elegant attic was surrounded by formations and restrictions. She was accompanied only by a bright candle and a dragon. The only sound in her ears was the faint chirping of birds, and no other strange sounds.
If it weren't for the fact that Ji Wushuang's warmth still seemed to remain on her fingertips, she would even have thought she was dreaming.
"you're awake?"
Mingzhu was overjoyed and quickly and carefully helped Mingtong up.
Mingtong looked around and said in a hoarse voice, "Where's Wushuang?"
Mingzhu was silent for a moment, then frankly said, "I went to the battlefield of Guixu Sea."
Mingtong was shocked: "Why...why would she go?"
Mingzhu sighed softly, "After you fell unconscious, the Heavenly Clan and the Feather Clan's Heavenly Questioners brought in their armies. They were originally here to help, but for some reason, the two Heavenly Questioners recognized Ji Wushuang right away... well, they also guessed what you were up to. They said you betrayed the universe..."
Although the two Wentian people were terrified at that time, they did not attack Ji Wushuang.
After all, the current Ji Wushuang is no longer the Ji Wushuang she was when Mingtong first met her. She is the Immortal Sword Master who has already entered the realm of Semi-Saint. She is the one who defeated the invasion of the Demon Realm Guixu with a single sword. She is both fear and hope...
"Xiao Wushuang saw the dissatisfaction and anger of the two tribes of Wentian people towards you, and offered to go to Guixu Sea with them."
After learning the answer, Mingtong's heart felt like it was blocked by a ball of wet water grass. It grew slowly and meandered as if it wanted to crawl over all the gaps in her body, clamoring to suffocate her.
She stopped talking, took out countless pills and rare treasures from the Sumeru mustard, stuffed them into her mouth, and sat down cross-legged, looking up at the boundless sky, watching the sun and moon rise and set, watching the stars move, and feeling the gradual recovery of the energy in her body.
Mingtong did not accept her fate or give up, but worked hard to take care of her body. Only when she recovered her strength could she help Ji Wushuang.
She couldn't even imagine what she would do when she was alone surrounded by a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Mingtong gradually entered the state of selflessness.
If everything goes well, her strength will definitely reach a new level. Unfortunately, before she can break through, an anomaly arrives...
On that day, the sun and the moon fell, the sea of stars collapsed, and turbid air rushed up into the sky and penetrated the nine heavens. The endless thick blood color seemed like the weeping of heaven and earth, so red that it made all living beings tremble.
Mingtong was naturally awakened. She wanted to break out of the restriction, but was stopped harshly. She could only keep screaming.
[Mingzhu! Mingzhu! What happened?!]
What answered Mingtong was the loud dragon roar coming from the sky.
"hold head high--"
Mingtong quickly looked up, only then realizing that the crimson was nothing else... but Mingzhu's blood...
"Bright candle!!!"
"hold head high--"
Mingtong and Mingzhu are natal contract holders, but now Mingzhu can't hear her voice or her call, and she can't even sense Mingzhu's "heart"!
No, this is not right!
Just when Mingtong was about to break out of the restriction, a huge dragon claw split the restriction formation with one claw, forcibly rolled her up with its bloody dragon tail, and flew out of the continent.
Mingtong immediately took the initiative and forced Mingzhu into her sea of consciousness. Only then did she discover that Mingzhu was covered in wounds and could not heal himself even in her sea of consciousness. Blood was gushing out, which was a shocking sight.
Mingtong's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't even dare to touch it. Even his sea of consciousness was trembling.
"Mingzhu! Mingzhu! Don't be afraid, Mingzhu..."
Mingzhu struggled to escape from Mingtong's sea of consciousness, but was forcibly suppressed by her. It could only gently rub Mingtong's "consciousness" with its blood-soaked body, and said with a weak breath: "I'm sorry... I couldn't help you protect Xiao Wushuang... I felt it... It's the law of destiny..."
Mingtong was trembling all over. [Don't talk! Heal your wounds first!]
Mingzhu shook his head and whispered, "I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't tell you... Tong'er... It's the Fallen Angel Curse... Whether it's me or Xiao Wushuang... It's the law of destiny that wants to kill us..."
[What... do you mean? Xiao Wushuang...]
Mingzhu and the entire dragon fell silent. After a long moment, they said, "I'm sorry..."
Mingzhu didn't dare tell her Ji Wushuang's ending.
During the thirty years that Mingtong had been in seclusion, Ji Wushuang had continuously fought in Guixu, saving countless lives and rescuing countless continents from the fate of decay and ruin...
And now, the Void Army has finally retreated, and a temporary peace is about to come.
Ji Wushuang was suddenly attacked by a group of people. Among those who surrounded her were Ji Wushuang's so-called blood relatives, people who Ji Wushuang had saved with her own hands, and various tribes who had escaped unscathed under Ji Wushuang's protection...
At that moment, Ji Wushuang looked at all living beings with extremely calm eyes.
It seemed as if she had already anticipated her own ending.
She just stood quietly in the encirclement, listening to the passionate "manifesto" of the crowd. How Ji Wushuang, a person without any foundation or spiritual power, could break through the cultivation level and reach the semi-saint realm. This was really going against the will of heaven and stealing the destiny of heaven!
What Ji Wushuang's existence is "evil" itself, what Ji Wushuang will steal the luck of the laws of heaven and earth endlessly if he doesn't die one day, the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of laws, will all be taken away by Ji Wushuang!
In this world, no human being will be able to break through to the Saint level!
Not only that, her existence will also affect other races.
After all, the world suffers together and prospers together.
Ji Wushuang is still alive, which is the sorrow of the world!!!
……
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ji Wushuang, fearing that she would make an extreme reaction. After all, they all witnessed Ji Wushuang's strength. Although "Heaven's Will" said that it would help suppress Ji Wushuang and leave her unable to fight back, they were still afraid.
The image of Ji Wushuang slaying the void monster was imprinted in the souls of all of them like a branding iron...
They had made a lot of preparations, and no matter whether Ji Wushuang was hysterically abusing or mocking them, they would be able to handle it with ease.
But Ji Wushuang did nothing, instead he started laughing.
That smile was so beautiful, like a soul flower blooming on the other side of the galaxy...
When they came back to their senses from her smile, for some reason, a huge hole suddenly appeared in Ji Wushuang's abdomen. She didn't seem to feel any pain. She just lowered her head slightly to look at her abdomen, then turned her gaze to the sky.
It was as if looking at them for even a second longer would be a humiliation to her.
Or, in other words, what did Ji Wushuang want to see, what did he want to find, what did he want to obtain from the deep and boundless void...
As Ji Wushuang's blood continued to flow out, someone exclaimed: "Don't waste it!!!"
This sound seemed to have touched a switch. The originally righteous people turned into greedy evil spirits. They pushed and shoved each other as they rushed forward, but were crushed to the ground by a special force. The few people who were in the front were split in half by Ji Wushuang.
Everyone was shocked to realize that even though Ji Wushuang had a piece of flesh dug out of his abdomen, he was still a powerful saint, an existence that they could not desecrate or defeat.
But if Ji Wushuang's blood continues to be wasted like this, then wouldn't everything they've painstakingly planned for so long be in vain?!
"What are you still doing?"
"Go on!"
"Don't be afraid! There are so many of us! How can we not defeat a useless person without spiritual energy?!"
"Come on!!!"
Ji Wushuang grasped the sword again, but this time it was her hand that broke apart...
This time, people finally saw clearly that what caused Ji Wushuang to fall apart bit by bit was the special "spell" that was swirling around her body.
Aside from a few people who asked about the heavens and Mingzhu, no one knew what this "curse" was. They simply regarded it as a punishment from heaven for Ji Wushuang. Who had allowed her to attempt to rival a saint with her mortal body?!
This is a sin!!!
"Look!"
"This is what happened to Ji Wushuang for violating the laws of nature!"
"Don't hesitate any longer, she's at the end of her rope! Kill her!"
Because Ji Wushuang's hands could not grasp the sword, because Ji Wushuang's will was isolated and stripped away, because Ji Wushuang's soul was blocked and restricted...
She could only watch herself being dismantled bit by bit, including her hands, feet, limbs, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, internal organs, bones, and so on.
In the later stages, even pain seemed to have become a luxury.
At this moment, Ji Wushuang vaguely heard a harsh voice asking her: [Do you regret it?]
--regret?
[Yes, I regret embarking on this path, regret saving these seemingly righteous but actually ugly and twisted creatures, regret becoming their prey for the sake of so-called true freedom.]
Regret?
Ji Wushuang wasn't sure, probably not.
If she were given another chance, she might still fight for her life...
She likes this vibrant world, with its wind, frost, rain, dew, sun, moon, stars, lush vegetation, and vast sea and sky...
Oh, and there is also the master and the little master.
She respected the ancestors who had protected the world with their lives. If it weren't for them, she might not have had the chance to see this colorful world.
She was just protecting future generations just as they protected her.
That's it.
Ji Wushuang smiled softly and said quietly, "I regret it. My only regret is not finding you, this clown hiding in the dark and claiming to be the destiny. You are just a stinking maggot in the gutter."
Shadow Lord: [……]
The Lord of Shadows conveyed Ji Wushuang's words truthfully to the Lord of Splendid Infinity, which made the Lord of Splendid Infinity laugh out of anger.
He admitted that he was just curious and wanted to see what would happen to this "future master" who was played around by the Lord of Shadows. It turned out to be a foul-mouthed person.
The Lord of Infinity said coldly: "Tell this boastful little thing that everything she wants to protect with her life will soon be reunited with her in purgatory."
The Lord of Shadows was about to convey the "news" of the Lord of Splendid Infinity, but was surprised to find that the other party's soul had disappeared. Did he die?
Although the Lord of Shadows was curious, he did not contact the Lord of Infinity again.
After all, "communication" across the universe consumes a lot of his energy, and he used the "Fallen Curse" twice, once on Ji Wushuang and once on that annoying Zhulong, which almost took his life. He should take the opportunity to quickly devour more "laws".
……
Mingzhu kept struggling outside the void, roaring and trying to save Ji Wushuang, but soon it found that it and Ji Wushuang were both corroded by the "Fallen Curse".
So not only could it not save Ji Wushuang, it couldn't even save itself.
No.
No.
It doesn't matter if it dies, Mingtong cannot be implicated.
So Mingzhu tried his best to tell Mingtong the truth before he died.
Mingtong was stunned when she heard this. The ancient curse "Curse of Fallen Heaven" was the judgment of the living beings by the "Law of Destiny". After she became a person who asked the sky, she had seen the description of "Curse of Fallen Heaven" in the "Holy Land Wuji".
But why did the "Law of Destiny" launch the "Falling Heaven Curse" on Xiao Wushuang and Mingzhu? !
Could it be that……
Is this the "sky" she keeps asking about?!
Do not!
Do not!
No way!!!
Mingtong's eyes were bloodshot, and she tried desperately to suppress the vitality of Mingzhu's collapse, but it was obvious that she could do nothing in the face of the Fallen Angel Curse.
Mingzhu wanted to sever the contract between himself and Mingtong. If he died, he died. He had no regrets. He would just consider it as accompanying Xiao Wushuang...
But Mingtong is still so young and beautiful, and she has an almost infinite lifespan.
She should live her life well instead of being with it.
Mingtong watched Mingzhu's body wither and die bit by bit in her sea of consciousness. The entire demon city seemed to have gone crazy. At this moment, Wentianren from the Celestial Clan and the Feather Clan rushed over.
The continent where Mingtong is located is the territory of the two tribes.
They "imprisoned" Mingtong here, firstly because of their years of relationship, they hoped Mingtong could turn back, and secondly so that they could monitor Mingtong well.
For example, at this moment, Mingzhu broke through the restriction and rescued Mingtong, and they rushed over immediately after sensing it.
They looked at the disheveled Mingtong with pity and sighed, "Mingtong, we have already made amends for the mistakes you made in the past. The Destroyer has been wiped out by everyone. You should continue to stay here and practice well."
"Yeah, everything will be fine once you recover."
"When you get better, we will protect the world together..."
……
But the two of them never had the chance to say the second half of their sentences, because their heads had been chopped off by Mingtong's sword.
"go to hell!!!!"
"Go to hell!!!"
"Destroy it!!!"
……
Mingtong held the sharp blade in his hand, like a madman, crushing the world to pieces and killing everyone!
The blood-red river swallowed up the earth and dyed the sky red...
And Mingtong, the former demon who asked the heavenly man, was also bound by the Heavenly Chains and imprisoned forever in the center of chaos, unable to be reborn.
