The big red figure was as bright as fire, just standing motionless on the top of the mountain, looking down at the scene under his feet, his face expressionless.

Like a puppet with a string on it.

There are no feelings whatsoever.

The wind lifted her skirt and swept away the shadow of a tree beside her.

Behind her, there stood a long figure, silently guarding the woman in front of her in a protective posture, never stepping forward, but always holding the long sword in her hand, ready to meet a bloody slaughter at any time.

Behind them, the Nine Heavens Snow Lotus slowly rose, gradually rising into the air, and stayed.

For a moment, the light was shining.

All the points of light were focused on the woman, illuminating her face clearly.

Abandon Ruyan, who was about to climb to the top of the mountain, raised his head and landed a cold gaze on the woman.

"Peony? Ran Bingchen? ”

Qi Ruyan frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his heart.

- Will it be ......?

Before she could think about it, Ruo Lingwei's urging voice came from behind her: "Abandon the girl, go up quickly!" Slowly, you can only fight with this group of unconscious people. ”

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Qi Ruyan smiled gratefully at Ruo Lingwei, and then climbed towards the top of the mountain at a faster speed.

However, during the whole process, she didn't know why, she only felt that the tightness in her chest at the dantian was getting stronger and stronger, and even blocked her breathing for a while, making it difficult for her to move an inch.

Ruo Canxue saw that her pace was gradually slowing down, so she stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and then dragged her and ran towards the top of the mountain.

"Let's go! I'm covering you this time! ”

The frost moon lightly thinned on Ruo Canxue's side face, illuminating the beads of sweat on her cheeks crystal clear and clear, and even the traces of the beads of sweat sliding were touching.

-- We must not hold everyone back.

With such thoughts, she gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort of her body, and walked towards the top of the mountain without hesitation.

And at this moment, in the sky above the city of Qingtian, the figure of Wuqingtian did not hesitate to fly towards the top of the mountain.

When Peony saw Wu Qingtian's figure, her eyes suddenly raised, and all kinds of resentment, anger, despair, and even countless revenge emotions poured into her eyes!

Without hesitation, she raised her right hand and slashed it towards Wuqingtian.

But at that moment, her right hand was tightly held by Ran Bingchen.

He was behind her and said softly and guiltily: "Peony, if you pass, let him pass." Think of the innocent people of this city, and think of the torture you've inflicted on them over the years. That's enough. ”

"But he did such a shameless thing to me back then!!"

Peony clenched a cloud of black gas in her fist, and black smoke continued to linger in her eyes, she tried her best to restrain this anger, but she couldn't help the evil spirit attack her heart again and again.

"I have no objection to you killing Wuqing with your own hands, but now is not the time to kill him. If you kill him, not only will you not be able to save the people of the city, but you will not be able to get rid of the poison of the Mother Gu and the evil spirits on your body. Peony, bear with me. ”

Ran Bingchen said in an almost pleading tone.

There was a humble color between his sword eyebrows, which smoothed out his former rebellious color.

Peony could hear the earnestness and embarrassment in his words, and the black smoke in his eyes gradually faded, and his face was pale and powerless.

And in her trance, Wu Qingtian had already arrived in front of her.

Holding the long sword behind him with one hand, Wu Qingtian glanced deeply at Peony, and a smile of relief appeared on his lips.

He stared at the peony for a long time, and then said slowly: "Peony, long time no see." ”

"You should know that I don't want to see you."

Peony's clenched fist began to tremble slightly, and she stared at Wuqingtian with all her might, trying to restrain her inner impulses.

"I know. And, I also know that at this moment, you really want to kill me with a sword. ”

Wuqingtian's expression was always gentle and gentle, even full of love, without a trace of flinch and regret.

Like a moth to a fire, it does not know the way back, and it is tireless.

- She never knew that, for him, the mistake of years ago was never a whim, nor was it a drunken gaffe. Even if she poisoned the people of his whole city, he never regretted it.

also did not consume his thoughts and love for her because of this.

- She still did not understand that that day was a nightmare for her, but for him it was an endless empty joy.

It will make him miss it for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to ask for it.

At this moment, Peony glanced at Wuqingtian in disgust, and asked coldly, "Since you know what I'm thinking so clearly, why are you still standing in front of me?" Do you really think I can't beat you? ”

"Definitely."

Wu Qingtian smiled helplessly, slowly raised his eyes to look at the moonlight on the ground, and said softly: "Now that you have the power of evil spirits in your body, it is easy to take my life. ”

"And I'm only here to pay off a debt I had sixteen years ago."

A debt that you have never been able to escape, but I will never forget.

"You know we're going to kill you? You took the initiative to send you to your death? ”

Peony's gaze fell on Wuqingtian's body in confusion, and asked puzzledly.

"You are staying here just to wait for the moment when the Snow Lotus blooms, and to borrow the power of the Snow Lotus to remove the poison of your mother Gu and the poison of the remnants of the evil spirit. And in this world, only my blood can awaken the anti-heaven power of the Heavenly Snow Lotus. ”

"So, what do you think I'm standing in front of you for?"

Wu Qingtian gradually raised his eyes, and his painful and eager gaze fell deeply on Peony's face, and a bitter smile looked pale and humble in the moonlight.

Peony was shocked by his words and gaze.

She has always been in the Wind Moon Field, how could she not hear the meaning of this? How can you not hear which one is hypocritical and which one is heartfelt?

Her gaze twitched slightly, and gradually lowered.

- She never thought that the night many years ago was not a whim for him, but a love affair that had been planned for a long time.

Moreover, this love affair lasted for sixteen years, and in the lonely and dry desert, he guarded the people who had been poisoned by her all over the city, and fell into a watchful silence.

"Peony, I've been waiting for you."

"I've been waiting for you to come back for the day."

"I've always been prepared to die today."

"I just think it's good to be so close to you like this before I die......"

Wu Qingtian slowly looked towards the Heavenly Snow Lotus, watched the flower bloom halfway, closed his eyes slightly, and dropped the sword in his hand.

"When—"

With a crisp sound, his sword slammed into the ground, refracting a clear light into Peony's eyes.
