Chapter 266: Love is hard to break
"In this operation, we killed their outer deacons, they are bound to launch a large-scale strangulation operation, if we continue to operate here, it is very likely to fall into their trap, maybe we need to leave for a while to avoid the limelight," Zhu Li said.
"It's good that we can take advantage of this time to cooperate with our allies in Zhongzhou, and if we can cooperate with them, I believe that future operations will be carried out smoothly," Han Yunyi said.
"This time I went to Razor to explore, and suddenly I was attacked by an extremely powerful Gangfeng, which directly caused me to get lost in the misty swamp, and I came here by mistake, do you know any special way to safely cross the swamp?" Shi Xuan said.
"Naturally, there are several relatively safe roads in the Misty Swamp, these roads are specially opened up by our ancient families and the Witch King Sect, it is difficult for outsiders to find, if you force yourself through the swamp, it is very likely that you will suffer all kinds of terrible crises, and your ability to arrive here alive is enough to show that your strength is extraordinary, and other spirit masters are estimated to have been buried in the swamp," Han Yunyi said.
"Brother Han, I've heard a lot of rumors about the ancient families in the Southern Regions, I don't know how your family is related to the Witch King Sect, why did they suddenly launch a surprise attack on you in the past decade or two?" Shi Xuan asked.
"We ancient families were originally the original inhabitants here, even much older than the Witch King Sect, many years ago it seems that someone discovered the ulterior secrets of the Witch King Sect, and finally attracted the slaughter of the Witch King Sect, they are very afraid of the secret being leaked, so they launched a full slaughter of the ancient families living here, in order not to let people get close to the dark abyss, the Witch King Sect has many ulterior secrets," Han Yunyi said.
"What kind of secret can actually make them kill the killer?" Shi Xuan remembered the many empty cities he had encountered before.
"I don't know, Yun Xi and I were young at that time, and we didn't know what happened, when the family was destroyed, if it wasn't for the rescue of the mainland rangers, we would have died in that catastrophe, about the cause and effect of this incident, I also asked some clues from the mouths of some captives, but I never knew this secret", Han Yunyi shook his head.
"The dark abyss is now full of shadows, this is not a good thing, this is the entrance to the Shadow Realm, if the seal is broken by the Dark Master, this world will face endless darkness," Zhu Li said.
"This seal was sealed by your wizard clan, can't you seal it again?" Shi Xuan asked.
"The current wizard clan doesn't even have the qualifications to go there, the Witch King Sect is strong, firmly occupying the sealed realm, we don't even have a chance to get close, this huge rift may be related to these shadow wizards, they want to break the seal, summon the dark master, and welcome the return of the shadow demon", the Zhu Li family knows a lot about the Shadow Realm.
"It seems that the threat of the Witch King Sect is not weaker than that of the Moon Worship Sect, whether it is the Starry Sky Evil God or the Dark Master, they are all terrifying evil gods, it is hard to imagine what kind of horror they will bring after they come to this world?" Shi Xuan worried.
"As long as I, Zhu Li, live for a day, I will definitely fight them to the end, I believe that the witch god will definitely protect us, as long as we cultivate the wizard's book to the pinnacle, it is not impossible to defeat the dark master", Zhu Li was full of confidence.
"Don't worry, you are not fighting alone this time, our entire Zhongzhou forces will support you, Cangyuan Pavilion, Saint Yuan Sect, Sword Emperor Palace, and Huoshenshan will not stand idly by, our ancestors were able to kill the Dark Lord back then, and I believe that we can do it in the future", Han Yunyi said.
"For now, let's get out of here as soon as possible to avoid their pursuit, and let's act together after joining up with the spirit master in Zhongzhou," Han Yunxi said.
"Okay, today everyone is tired, rest in peace, tomorrow we will quickly enter the swamp and retreat to the north, the Witch King Sect must have dispatched a large number of men and horses to hunt us down, this time we finally picked up our lives, but we must cherish it", Han Yunyi said.
Zhu Li and his clansmen, this day was tired, everyone rested, only Han Yunxi couldn't sleep, saw Shi Xuan again at the moment of life and death, she was even more convinced that her fate with Shi Xuan was not over, she had thought about many scenes of meeting again, but she never thought of seeing each other again like today.
Although Shi Xuan in front of her has changed slightly from two years ago and has become more mature, the person in his mind has never been shaken, she thought that time would dilute the relationship between them, but after these two years, she found that she still loved each other deeply, and when she saw Shi Xuan again today, her heart made waves again.
Everyone had rested peacefully, only Han Yunxi couldn't sleep, Shi Xuan was not tired today, he was alone to help everyone keep vigil and prevent the enemy from raiding.
When he walked past Han Yunxi's side, he found that she hadn't slept for a long time, and the two looked at each other for a while.
"Yunxi, you've been busy all day, hurry up and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow, I will be here to help you guard the entrance to the cave", Shi Xuan said with concern.
"I can't sleep, I haven't seen you for two years, you are still the same as back then, exactly the same as the warm and considerate boy in my memory, I am really happy to see you again", Han Yunxi sat up and looked at Shi Xuan, now Han Yunxi is eighteen or nineteen years old, he is in his prime, he has escaped a trace of childishness back then, and now he is also slim and in his prime.
"I'm also very happy to see you again, I have missed your brothers and sisters all these years", Shi Xuan also sat down next to the campfire to chat with her.
"I heard Brother Zhu Li say that you and Huang Shuhan have a deep relationship over the years, do you love her in your heart?" Han Yunxi suddenly asked.
Shi Xuan nodded, and then said: "I have missed a lot of things in my life, but I will not miss her again, I never dared to face my feelings before, but she made me understand what love is, I swore that I would never live up to this relationship again in this life, no matter life or death, I will go on", Shi Xuan said.
"Brother Shi Xuan, I want to ask you a word. When we hadn't been separated back then, if I had been the first to express my feelings to you, would you accept me?" There was a hint of tears in the corners of Han Yunxi's eyes, and she looked at Shi Xuan expectantly.
"I actually always understood your intentions, but at that time, I couldn't see the future, and I didn't dare to face my feelings, and I was carrying too much baggage, which caused me to be out of breath, I chose to escape at that time, it was indeed I who hurt you, I'm sorry", Shi Xuan solemnly apologized.
"Brother Shi Xuan, in fact, you are not wrong, I just want to confirm whether there is a place for me in your heart?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Yes, to be honest, you are the purest and loveliest of the many girls I have ever met, sunny and kind, I also like it, but we met at that age, and we were destined to have no future", Shi Xuan said.
"For me, it's enough to have Brother Shi Xuan's words, do you know?In fact, when I first went on a mission with you, I already liked you, but at that time my heart was weak and I didn't dare to express it, but with the separation of these two years, I can no longer ignore the feelings in my heart, I told myself that if I meet you again, I must fight for it, no matter what, I will not give up", Han Yunxi looked at Shi Xuan affectionately.
"Yunxi, this is not fair to you, I will not let go of my feelings for Huang Shuhan, I have always hoped that you can get out of the shadow of your heart and welcome your own spring, I still can't see the future even today, the road ahead is full of bumps and bumps, maybe tomorrow it is possible to face a life-and-death decision, follow me will not have a long-term future", Shi Xuan shook his head.
"Before this, my brother also told me many times that time will forget everything, but I found that I couldn't do it, I didn't want to deceive myself, although I knew that my chances of winning were not good, but even if I lost, I was willing, as long as there was a little place in your heart, I would die without regrets", Han Yunxi said.
"Shi Xuan, how can he be virtuous?Is it worth it?" Shi Xuan looked at her.
"No complaints, no regrets," Han Yunxi said.
At this moment, Shi Xuan's heart is very contradictory, different from his decisiveness in fighting the enemy, dealing with feelings has always been his weakness, he can't hurt either Han Yunxi and Huang Shuhan, in his heart he has always wanted to achieve the best of both worlds, but often it backfires, and he goes around in a big circle and returns to the original point, he still has to face the whirlpool of feelings, he can't escape, he knows that if he doesn't handle it properly, he will hurt the two beloved women.
"Actually, I know the contradiction in your heart, you don't want to hurt me, nor do you want to hurt Huang Shuhan, but I don't mind her existence, as long as I can always be by your side, it's enough, even if I have no name and no point, I don't care at all", Han Yunxi said.
Coming to today's embarrassing situation, Shi Xuan is also very helpless, sometimes Shi Xuan secretly blames himself for being too indecisive, which leads to himself in the whirlpool.
The world is like chess, who knows the outcome of tomorrow, Shi Xuan did not make a decision immediately, as for tomorrow's affairs, let's take one step at a time.
"Do you want to understand that my future road will be full of crises and bumps?" Shi Xuan looked at her.
"No matter what, I will accompany you to do it," Han Yunxi said......
This night, both Shi Xuan and Han Yunxi had trouble sleeping, but being able to say the feelings they had hidden in their hearts for many years was not necessarily a bad thing for them.
After dawn, Han Yunyi and Zhu Li decided to temporarily retreat to the north to avoid the pursuit of the Witch King Sect.
"There are many roads in the Misty Swamp, and we must choose a hidden path, otherwise the people of the Witch King Sect may chase and kill them," Zhu Li said.
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, and at this point, what else can we be afraid of, even if they kill, we don't know who died here?" Han Yunyi said.
Everyone followed Han Yunyi into a very secret road, and quickly set off towards the depths of the misty swamp, around the Witch King Sect, there were shadow demon bats carrying shadow wizards everywhere to search for their whereabouts.
"Elder, I reckon they're in the Misty Swamp, they know what we're doing, and maybe they want to retreat to the north, so we should hunt them down?" said one of the wizards.
"Yes, let's divide our troops into multiple routes, don't let go of all the hidden paths, and as soon as you find them, use sorcery to send a message," said a powerful shadow wizard.
Many shadow wizards entered the hidden passage one after another, chasing Shi Xuan and them, and in the mist-shrouded swamp, Shi Xuan and them flew quickly, heading towards the north.
"Damn, this fog is getting heavier and heavier, and even the road is about to be seen clearly", Han Yunyi struggled to identify the direction.
"I encountered such a dense fog that day, followed by a terrible storm, you must be careful", Shi Xuan felt the treacherous environment here.
Shortly after they left, a pair of shadow wizards riding shadow bats killed them.
"Here, those bedbugs are really coming," Zhu Li said.
"Fight quickly, they must have other teams around," Shi Xuan said.
"Send a message to the Elders, we've found them", a shadow wizard unleashed a message of sorcery.
Shi Xuan and the others immediately killed their group of shadow wizards, who were not very strong, and were quickly strangled.
"We're going to speed up, and their people must know about our path," Zhu Li said.
Shi Xuan and the others couldn't care about identifying the direction, so they could only fly forward at full speed, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the Witch King Sect, the other party was overwhelmed, and in such a dangerous environment, it was not suitable for combat.
After a long time, the Shadow Wizard Elder brought a large number of pursuers, following them behind, and it was necessary to hunt them down.
"It's so fast, they came so fast", Shi Xuan felt very surprised.
"The Shadow Wizard is relatively familiar with the Misty Swamp, so let's be careful," Zhu Li said.
A large group of shadow wizards on the other side set off a terrifying wave behind them, and the terrifying shadow aura killed them, and the shadow mists around them were stirred by them.
Shi Xuan and the others retreated while fighting, and they didn't want to force a fight with them head-on, "Damn Shadow Wizard, so many people came at once", Han Yunxi scolded.
"It's definitely not a way to go on like this, this place is close to Lei Ze, let's go there to take refuge, the Nine Xuan Heavenly Thunder there happens to be the nemesis of the Shadows," Shi Xuan said.
"It's okay, if you run away like this, you will be caught up by them sooner or later," Han Yunyi said.
With the thunder and lightning element he sensed, Shi Xuan was quickly caught in the defense line, rushed into the thunder zeal, and began to enter the ruins of the thunder guardian, wanting to get rid of the shadow wizard's pursuit.
"Great Elder, they're heading towards the Thor's Ruins, what should they do?" said the Shadow Wizard.
"No matter what, they must be killed, you come with me, what are you afraid of the Thunder God Ruins?" the elder followed first.
"Shi Xuan, they're coming"
Under the leadership of Shi Xuan, everyone went deep into the core again, and the shadow wizards continued to chase and kill under the leadership of their elders.
"These bastards are actually coming, we must clean them up this time", Shi Xuan saw the shadow wizard who followed behind.
"The front is covered by thunder and lightning, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass through?" Han Yunyi looked at the sky in front of him, lightning and thunder, obviously very dangerous.
"My thunder and lightning element's attainment has also made great progress, you follow behind me, I will cover you, as long as you rush into the core place, their shadow wizards will definitely have nothing to do", Shi Xuan's hands sealed, and a huge thunder and lightning barrier rose, he was not far from the realm of controlling the thunder element, and it was enough to deal with these heavenly thunders at this moment.
Everyone followed Shi Xuan's footsteps quickly, and the Shadow Wizard also followed Shi Xuan's footsteps.
"Elder, how is this good? The thunder and lightning here are very domineering, and we are afraid that the power of our shadows will not be able to stop such a thunderstorm?" said a wizard.
"We are afraid of the thunder tribulation, and they are the same, as long as they fight quickly, there is nothing to fear, there is no road ahead, they don't want to escape, follow me", the elder did not give up chasing Shi Xuan at all, and directly led people deep into the minefield.
The terrible Thunder Tribulation roared down, and some hapless Shadow Wizards, even though they had the power of the Shadow Protector, were slashed by the Thunder Tribulation.
"Damn, aren't they afraid of the Thunder Tribulation? How dare they blatantly dive into it?" the Shadow Wizard Elder thought to himself.
"Elder, can't we go any deeper, our disciples can't bear it?" said a shadow wizard.
"The sect master has an order, he must kill them, this time we must not let them escape, even if the price is big, they will be broken into pieces, follow closely", the elder did not care about his disciples at all, and led them to forcibly break into the minefield.
The closer they got to the Thunder Throne, the more violent the thunder elemental became, and soon several shadow wizards with low vision were chopped into ashes by the lightning robbery, and they forcibly trespassed into the minefield and suffered huge losses, but the elder gritted his teeth and decided to continue the pursuit, and the arrow had to be fired.
Shi Xuan's lightning barrier effectively shielded them from the invasion of the lightning element, and they quickly ran towards the Thunder and Lightning Throne, where there was the Nine Heavens Thunder, and the Shadow Wizard did not want to do anything.
"These bastards actually killed them like they didn't want to die?" Han Yunyi looked at the people chasing and killing in the distance.
"It's just right to come, I'll let them taste the divine power of the Nine Xuantian Thunder later, this is what they asked for," Shi Xuan said.
"The rumored Nine Heavens Xuanlei, how do you know it's here?" asked Zhu Li.
"With the guidance of their predecessors, this is the remnant of the ancient Thunder God family, and the ghosts and ghosts are simply asking for their own death when they come here, and the Nine Heavens Xuanlei is their nemesis", Shi Xuan looked at the broken throne in the distance, where the sky was turbulent and terrifying.
"Tianxuan Mountain Range, I can't imagine that Brother Shi Xuan actually cultivated the thunder element to such a height through the habits of the acquired element, is it really unbelievable?" Zhu Li looked at Shi Xuan in disbelief.
"This road is not easy, the slightest carelessness will cause fire**, to be able to get this far, it all depends on luck", Shi Xuan shook his head.
The Shadow Wizard was in hot pursuit, even if many disciples of average strength died, they had no intention of giving up, and their hatred for Shi Xuan and the others was even deeper, especially several core disciples, who were all split by the thunderstorm, and their killing intent was even worse.
"Soon, the throne in front of you is the residence of the Nine Heavens Xuanlei, and when you get there, these people have only one way to die," Shi Xuan said.
"Elder, the throne is in the distance, do we still want to go deeper?" a disciple asked.
"The price has been paid, they must die, otherwise how can the old man explain to the sect master?"
Soon after, Shi Xuan and the others arrived in front of the throne, where the Thunder Tribulation had long since disappeared, and Shi Xuan and the others arrived there safely.
