For the Ye family, for the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't mention the slightest nostalgia at all. If there is any concern, it is that there was once a loved one who was very important to him living here. And until this moment, the only concern is also completely gone.

He can be a bloodthirsty beast or a devil from hell, but he is definitely not a lamb to the slaughter.

Sixteen years, this is the place where he has lived for sixteen years, but when he pushed open the entrance to hell with his own hands and saw the ghosts pounce, he realized that there was not the slightest wave in his heart.

He had flashed out of the door a moment before the shadow swooped down on it. All that lingered in his ears were the weepings and wails of the eldest lady, Ye Bufan, and countless servants.

The City Lord's Mansion was invaded by the Black Shadows, and in just a moment, a raging fire ignited in the Mansion.

Ye Lingyu turned his back to the firelight and walked along the street, unhurried, with no look in his eyes. Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he lost the only place to go, but despite this, he felt that his shoulders were more relaxed than he had ever been.

He came to a clearing not far from the City Lord's Mansion, where the schoolyard that used to be used as a guard was now deserted, and the weeds were reborn, reaching up to knees.

There were several corpses that had long been burned to ashes, and many weeds were also ignited.

He could hear the sound of something flying around him, and even if he didn't look at it, he knew it was the black monsters that surrounded him. Nowadays, this unknown thing fills the entire city of Fengcheng, and it can be seen everywhere you look.

The monsters are targeting the living, and there are already quite a few black shadows that have locked on to Ye Lingyu. And Ye Lingyu knew this, but he didn't move.

Even if you run, there will be no way to live, "Heaven will punish you, and people will wither", which means that when God is punished, people will wither, and there will be nowhere to escape, and no one can escape.

When the heavenly punishment comes, it is equivalent to the death of Hades announced the death of everyone, the difference is only sooner or later.

If you can't escape, then why bother. Ye Lingyu stood in the wind, his shoulder-length black hair fluttering in the wind, and his knife-like face did not show any sadness. If he had to die, he would rather die standing like this, and he had not given in for the past sixteen years, at least at the last moment, to follow his heart.

Just as he was thinking this, "boom", a sudden thunderclap came from above his head.

With the sound of thunder, a basin-thick lightning bolt fell into the sky. Although thunder has been falling in the sky, coincidentally, the direction in which this thunder and lightning fell was actually where Ye Lingyu was.

The thunder and lightning did not fall on Ye Lingyu, but landed ten steps away in front of him.

A big hole was suddenly blown out of the ground, and the power of the thunder and lightning was so great, even if it wasn't in the middle of Ye Lingyu, the spreading air wave also overturned him.

The charred earth poured on his head and face.

Could it be that he did not die at the hands of the black shadow, but died under this lightning strike?

Ye Lingyu subconsciously put his hands in front of his face, was pushed by the air waves, and rolled on the ground several times in a row before stopping.

It took him a long time before he came to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

But the scene he saw in front of him made his heart sink to the bottom.

Originally, in this clearing, with Ye Lingyu as the center, more than a dozen black shadows surrounded him.

The black shadow came with the thunder and lightning, and when the thunder and lightning fell, the black shadow also came as scheduled. Raiden didn't kill him, but it was the killing intent behind the thunderbolt that killed him.

Although he had long been prepared to die, when death really came, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

More than a dozen black shadows surrounded him like a group of courtiers worshipping the emperor, and the shapes around them were constantly changing, as if telling the joy of meeting a living person. They revolved around Ye Lingyu, and then approached little by little.

Ye Lingyu was surrounded all around, he couldn't advance, he couldn't retreat, and he didn't have any hope left for him.

"My life is worth it!" he scoffed softly.

At the same time, he was targeted by more than a dozen black shadows, making himself look like a fragrant bait, even if he died, it felt worth it.

At the same time as Ye Lingyu let out a laugh, the black shadows also moved, only to see the black shadows rushing up like a pack of wolves pounced, and then all poured into his body.

After the black shadow poured into his body, it seemed to turn into invisible energy, walking up and down Ye Lingyu's body, and the pain that came into contact with the energy was like a pinprick at the point where it touched the energy.

Ye Lingyu could even feel that the energy that could not be borne in his body was overflowing from all parts of his skin. After the overflowing energy came into contact with the air, it suddenly turned into a pale flame, and the skin burned by the flames instantly turned black.

This scene was all too familiar to him, and everyone who came into contact with the black shadow before was burned to death like this.

The pain was severe, as if someone had thrown him into a pan of oil, as if there were thousands of needles piercing his pores, and he could feel that the water in his body was being lost. The clothes on his body have been burned away, and the original thick black hair has also been burned to ashes, he bowed like a shrimp, his skin became dry, and then cracked inch by inch, and the blood under the crack was steamed into nothingness before it could flow out.

Extreme heat emanated from him, and the ground he was on turned black.

Compared to this kind of pain, maybe it's easy to cut a thousand knives. He couldn't help but raise his head and let out a terrible howl, and the flames above and below his body trembled with his shout.

And just when he felt that he was about to escape, a halo suddenly flashed in his chest.

The halo spread outward from his chest like flowing water, but wherever the halo hit, the raging flames immediately became lighter. Ye Lingyu looked down, but found that the center of the halo was the black stone that he had been wearing around his neck before.

Ye Lingyu once heard his mother say that this talisman stone was given by an old man on the night he was born. The old man called this stone a thousand machine stones, saying that it could suppress evil spirits, but he didn't expect it to play its role at such a time.

The light emitted by the Thousand Machine Stone became brighter and brighter, gradually covering Ye Lingyu's whole body, and those pale flames slowly extinguished under the illumination of the light.

Not only that, this light also has a healing effect, the cracks on Ye Lingyu's body are slowly healing, the burned hair is growing back, and the burnt skin is gradually peeling off, and new skin is appearing underneath.

The original sharp pain disappeared, and Ye Lingyu felt like a spring breeze. The feeling of exhaustion suddenly came up, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, but after a while, he could no longer support it, and then he fell down.

Although Ye Lingyu fainted, the light on the Tianji Stone did not disappear, and after repairing Ye Lingyu's body, the light actually condensed all the light into a beam, pointing directly at the thunderclouds in the sky.

Following the guidance of the light, the thunderclouds that had been entrenched above Fengcheng began to fall rapidly, turning into a huge whirlpool in the wind and lightning, and directly below the whirlpool was where Ye Lingyu was. Under the guidance of the light, the huge thunderclouds all poured into Ye Lingyu's body.

......

I don't know how long time passed, until a beam of sunlight gently stopped on Ye Lingyu's eyes. The smell of earth hit his face, Ye Lingyu couldn't help but sneeze, and then jumped up from the ground like a frightened rabbit.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning sun is infinitely soft.

Ye Lingyu still maintained the posture of just jumping up, and the gentle sunlight made him a little unable to open his eyes. He froze in place for a while, and only then did the memories of the past wake up little by little.

Recalling the previous bits and pieces, his whole person was like being in a dream.

Ye Lingyu rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found that he was still in the open space before. Moving his gaze further ahead, he saw a ruin of rubble.

The original street has been changed beyond recognition, and the houses and shops on both sides have collapsed, while others have been burned to charcoal, and the entire city of Fengcheng has been reduced to ruins.

He couldn't help but pinch his arm, feeling a little pain.

"I'm still alive......" Ye Lingyu muttered to himself.

When his mood calmed down, Ye Lingyu seemed to remember something, his heart moved, and he hurriedly looked around, and listened attentively.

Serenity, as quiet as a wasteland.

There was nothing but ruins. The black shadow is gone, the thunderclouds in the sky are gone, and the people who have been living in Fengcheng seem to have evaporated from the world.

Ye Lingyu's gaze swept over the black ash on the ground, he knew that it was once a living person.

Heaven is punishing, and people are withered. The fiftieth occurrence of Heavenly Punishment fell on Bongseong, and from the moment it fell, it was a sign that this prosperous little city would cease to exist.

Ye Lingyu touched his head, he was so immortal that he met the punishment of heaven, and he survived by mistake. Are you lucky or unlucky?

I don't know how long I have been asleep, Ye Lingyu let out a long sigh. At this time, he suddenly felt that he was cold, and when he looked down, he found that he was naked. A fire burned the city and his clothes.

There was nothing in the first place, and now there was not even a piece of clothing left, Ye Lingyu scolded secretly in his heart.

Although I survived, what to do after that, judging from the situation, it was difficult to find even a piece of clothing.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and quickly reached out and touched his neckline, reaching out to touch a cold and hard thing.

Qianjishi, this time to be able to save his life, all thanks to the blessing of this thing.

The Thousand Machine Stone is still the same as before, but it seems to have become a little darker than before.

"You saved my life. Ye Lingyu said to himself, remembering the appearance of his mother bringing a thousand machine stones for himself before she died, he felt a warmth in his heart.

However, what surprised him was that not only the Thousand Machine Stone, but also the rope used to tie the Thousand Machine Stone was also intact. The flames burned all the clothes on his body, but the inconspicuous-looking rope was not damaged in the slightest, not even a trace of being burned by the flames. The Thousand Machine Stone that can be tied with this kind of rope must be an unusual treasure.

Ye Lingyu thought for a moment, and decided to find a piece of clothing first. But as far as the eye could see, the surrounding houses were all charred black, and not even a single rag was left for him.

He scratched his head, still going to look for it. As soon as I stepped out, I suddenly felt that I had stepped on something, and I lowered my head slightly, only to find that it was a bunch of fine grass the length of my fingers.

The sheaves are translucent and look crystal clear, and between the leaves, there is a faint ink color flowing in them.

It's a little strange, the heavenly punishment has passed, the living beings don't exist, and this weird-looking plant actually survived. But thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, this kind of plant Ye Lingyu had never seen before, maybe it wasn't survived by the Heavenly Punishment, maybe it was grown after the Heavenly Punishment.

This thing, except that it looks a little strange, but it doesn't feel like anything special. Ye Lingyu thought as he reached out and grabbed it, but when his fingers touched the blades of grass, a majestic vitality suddenly flowed in along Ye Lingyu's fingers.

Ye Lingyu was startled and took his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.

What is this thing, that it has such majestic vitality. Although he didn't touch many things, he could feel that this thing was definitely not ordinary.

He is usually poor and white, and it is rare to meet good things, and his face suddenly seems to be happy, and his mouth is about to crack to the root of his ears. Since it's a good thing, of course it's impossible to miss it, so look around for it at the moment. But it's also strange to say, this inky fine grass seems to be only around him, and after a careful search around, he found more than a hundred plants.

Ye Lingyu dug up some roots that had not been burned dry, peeled off the skin from the roots, rolled them into ropes, tied them all together, and hung them around his waist.

Now he is naked, and he still has something hanging around his waist, which is really indecent.

"I've got to find something to cover my shame. He muttered to himself.

However, just as he spoke, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
