There was a dark blue rocky ground under his feet, and there was no end to the barrenness on the horizon, Chu Tinglan had long forgotten how long it had been, only remembered that he had been gone for a long, long time.

He didn't know where the ruins were, he didn't know how far he had to go, and how long he could hold on, and there were wavering thoughts in his heart at some point, but looking at the girl beside him, the thought in his heart quietly dissipated.

Until now, there has been no turning back.

Since that moment before, the girl burst out with the power that made his soul feel tremor, and led him all the way through the barrier of the shadow beast, and advanced for an unknown distance, and her body finally could not support it.

When she fell, he subconsciously held her arm and looked at the deep and inexplicable red eyes.

The girl didn't say anything, just looked at him like that, but Chu Tinglan could read her meaning from that look.

Keep going.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and keep going." Chu Tinglan said to the girl.

Ever since she stepped into the shadow barrier and fought side by side with this girl named Mu Bei, Chu Tinglan felt more and more that the girl beside her seemed mysterious everywhere.

She and he are both from that world, but they are not phantoms, and she does not have any fluctuations in soul power, but she has the ability to summon strange flames, which is extremely lethal to the shadow beast.

The more he got along, the more he felt that this girl seemed to be very familiar with him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, Chu Tinglan was very troubled by this, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something very important, but he couldn't remember anything.

Mu Bei has an inexplicable obsession with going to Guiru, he has never seen a trace of wavering in her, it seems that for her, going to that place seems to be a more important thing than her life.

Chu Tinglan smiled bitterly, this girl who looked young, the consciousness in her heart was even deeper than him.

When the two of them stepped on a hillside, looked into the distance, and finally saw a light purple mist at the end of their sight, Chu Tinglan's somewhat numb eyes suddenly burst into light, and he said with some excitement: "Mu Bei, have you seen it, that purple mist, that is Guiru, we are finally here!" ”

"Yes......" Mu Bei murmured.

Compared with Chu Tinglan, Mu Bei didn't seem so excited, her eyes looked at the countless behemoths hovering in front of the purple mist, and said lightly: "Those shadow beasts, all of them are at the leader level. ”

Chu Tinglan frowned slightly, his reddish soul body flickered, and he said: "They don't dare to step into the ruins, we don't have to touch them, as long as we step into the ruins, we will be considered successful." ”

"Mu Bei, your body has not recovered yet, our troops are divided into two ways, I will go and lure them away first, and you take the opportunity to rush in first." Chu Tinglan said decisively.

Mu Bei turned his head to look at him, his eyes were complicated, and said, "Lead them away?" The Shadow Beast has the ability to jump into space, how can you lead it away, although you are strong, you can deal with ten or twenty of them...... But that much, not to mention half, even if it's only a tenth, you can't hold on for a moment. ”

"You underestimate me?" Chu Tinglan said in a deep voice.

Mu Bei turned his head and said lightly: "I don't need you to protect me so deliberately, to this point, there is no need for you and I to go hand in hand, the ruins are in front of you, if you want to go in, you have to rely on your ability." ”

"But your body used to consume so much." Chu Tinglan was stunned.

"I said, each according to his ability!" Mu Bei looked at him coldly.

The girl's words made it clear that she didn't want to drag him down, Chu Tinglan's face was complicated, he didn't say anything more, but nodded.

As the two of them stayed here, the shadow beasts in the distance gradually sensed their existence, and were slowly approaching them, Mu Bei's eyes flashed with firelight, and the blazing phoenix mark appeared in the center of her eyebrows, she glanced at Chu Tinglan lightly, and orange flames rose up and down her body.

Before Chu Tinglan could react, he saw the girl rush out suddenly and pounce towards the group of huge shadow beasts, his expression changed, and he hurriedly followed.

Because of the strong aura on Mu Bei's body, it attracted most of the shadow beasts, and the dark blue giant beast figure that was pressed by the black instantly flickered to Mu Bei's side, and the attack wrapped in huge soul power hit like a monstrous wave.

Mu Bei palms and fingers, extremely fast hit all the acupuncture points on his body, the exposed white skin, showing orange-red lines spread from the chest, extending to the limbs and eyebrows, and the scorching flames wrapped all parts of the body.

"Blazing, Shenyue Style!"

The Shenyue style, which briefly increases the quality of all aspects of the body, is the most comprehensive style among the ancient martial arts skills created by Mu Bei.

Her legs were bent, her palms pressed on the dark blue rocky ground, and she pressed suddenly, the soles of her feet suddenly forced, and the whole person flashed out like sharp arrows, and her speed skyrocketed instantly, and the orange flames turned into tails, making the huge soul power attack instantly miss.

"Blazing, Empty Moon Style!"

The speed increase granted by the empty moon style made Mu Bei easily navigate the constantly flickering shadow beast group, she quickly avoided all attacks that might threaten her, her eyes were firmly fixed on the light purple mist behind the huge beast group, an abnormal flush appeared on her pale face, and she muttered to herself.

"Faster, faster......"

On the other side, because the shadow beast group that attracted most of Mu Bei's attention, did not hinder Chu Tinglan too much, so he easily moved forward a long way, but he knew in his heart that Mu Bei was under too much pressure, and the ruins seemed to be not far away, but the distance between them was like the end of the world, once Mu Bei made any mistake there, with only her exhausted body, it was a certain death.

Chu Tinglan clenched his teeth tightly, his soul body suddenly burst out with a strong red light, and the power of his soul was released to the limit, wantonly stirring the perception of the phantom beast group, and immediately attracting the attention of most of the phantom beasts.

"Come on! If you have the ability, come to me! ”

The man's strong voice spread out and resounded through the sky.

Chu Tinglan ran wildly, while desperately attracting the attention of the shadow beast, and in a short time, countless huge dark blue figures fell from the sky, Chu Tinglan dodged the falling attack to the limit, and the soul power ran to the load.

"The surname is Chu!"

Mu Bei heard Chu Tinglan's voice, and found that the attacks around him had weakened, and immediately noticed his actions, the girl's red eyes flashed with anger, she clenched her hands tightly, and watched Chu Tinglan lure the shadow beasts away one after another.

But because the two were too far apart, with her physical condition at this time, there was no way to turn back and help him.

Little by little, the two of them passed through the encirclement of countless shadow beasts, and they were getting closer and closer to the light purple mist, and they could already clearly see the outline of the mist.

The burning flame in Mu Bei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in her body, the mysterious source exuded tremendous power, and an invisible barrier trembled faintly as she slowly approached the limit of her body.

But at this moment, a muffled snort suddenly sounded in the distance behind him, which was extremely small in the wilderness where countless soul powers erupted and impacted, but Mu Bei caught it keenly.

She turned her head suddenly, and saw the figure behind her surrounded by the beasts, Chu Tinglan had been overloading the soul power in the soul body, and the energy replenished from the surroundings was far from keeping up with his consumption, in the face of the sudden attack of the shadow beast, he dodged at the same speed as usual, but was slapped on the calf by the forelimbs of a giant beast, directly hitting his leg soul body blurred and scattered.

Chu listened to Lan screaming in pain, but subconsciously lowered his voice.

It wasn't until this moment that he reacted, his soul body was consumed too much, and his action reaction was slowly unable to keep up with the speed of thinking.

Behind him, the huge shadow beast slowly approached, and he dragged one leg desperately trying to dodge, but Chu Tinglan already understood that it seemed that it was difficult for him to dodge this attack.

He slowly fell to the ground, his eyes looking at the slender figure in the distance in front of him.

She had reached the lilac mist.

"Replace me, see the truth of this world, Mu Bei ......"

"You have to live."

Behind him, a huge shadow covered him, Chu Tinglan smiled lightly, he used all his soul power, desperately spreading around, at this moment, his red soul body was dazzling like a bright star.

Overhead, the surging soul power poured down like a tide, and he slowly closed his eyes, closing his eyes and waiting for death.

Rumble!

The huge soul power smashed down, but the collapse of the imaginary soul body did not appear, and there was not even any pain, but a hot feeling slowly enveloped his soul body, and Chu Tinglan opened his eyes in disbelief.

In front of him, standing a slender back with long crimson hair flying and covered with golden flames, the girl clenched her fist with one hand and blasted out, the terrifying golden flames that surged out burned the huge soul power and the shadow beast that was about to descend above into nothingness, and the other hand opened her five fingers and held it in the air, like a god of war in front of him.

"Bastard!"

"You self-proclaimed clever bastard! I've forgotten that I existed, for the sake of someone who has nothing to do with you, to this extent! When will I ...... Need for a guy like you to protect! ”

A scorching flame flickered in Mu Bei's golden pupils, and his tone was full of anger and another inexplicable emotion.

"Quadruple liberation, Emperor Ji, sword!"

"Come!"

In the void, the already weak spatial barrier of the Shadow Ruins shattered, and a gap opened in an instant, and a clear groan sounded in the darkness, and the girl's palm suddenly reached into the crack, and slowly pulled out the huge crimson long sword.

The fair-skinned five fingers gently grasped the hilt of the Emperor's sword, Mu Bei's momentum suddenly skyrocketed, the crimson giant sword burned with golden flames, the moment the sword came out, the movements of the surrounding shadow beasts suddenly stopped, and the scorching fire wave used on the pavement made them feel a strong aura of death.

The girl held the sword in one hand, and her golden fiery pupils scanned the shadow beasts, and everywhere she looked, the shadow beasts all retreated, not daring to take another step forward.

Chu Tinglan stared at the scene in front of him blankly, until the girl stretched out her palm in front of him, he looked at Mu Bei's hand and shook it gently.

Mu Bei pulled him up, the golden flames surrounded the two of them, and they walked towards the lilac mist in the distance, step by step, and those shadow beasts slowly followed the two of them, never leaving, and did not dare to step forward.

"Why...... Why did you choose to come back and save me......"

Dragging her somewhat weak legs, Chu Tinglan looked at her palm that was held by the girl, and asked with some difficulty.

"And what do you mean by that before?"

"Does it matter?" The girl's tone returned to its original calmness, and she said softly.

"......" Chu Tinglan was silent for a moment.

"Whatever you've forgotten, you're no longer the you you used to be, and I'm not the me I used to be."

"Perhaps, that's for the best."
