Chapter 29: Inner Court Contest (2)
After Yang Zixiao left, the remaining four people waited anxiously, and as the sun slowly set, everyone's hearts slowly sank.
"Wolves and leopards!" Wang ran and suddenly found two wolves and leopards attacking!
Although it was only two wolves and leopards, it also meant that more wolves and leopards would come, they were social spirit beasts! After the four of them killed the two wolves and leopards, the sun lost its last ray. However, the four also had disagreements. Wang Dawei advocated listening to Yang Zixiao's orders before leaving, but now it was too dark, Yang Zixiao had not returned, and he thought that he should retreat.
"You have to believe him! You have to listen to his orders, we must retreat, otherwise we will be sent to death here! If Yang Zixiao is still here, he will definitely let us retreat!" Wang Dawei persuaded.
And Li Mu, Chen Xu and Mo Yanan experienced a situation where they seemed to be acquainted, and they left that time. As a result, he lived in the shadow of regret for the rest of his life. They would rather die than go through it again. That feeling of death is more terrible than death.
Li Mu shook his head and said: "I don't know how you have spent these past few years, I have lived like a walking dead for eight years! Eight years! Every night I keep asking myself, why did I leave? What kind of righteousness do I use as a high-sounding reason? Can I change the fact that I abandoned my senior brother? He made the right decision, but he must also have a trace of disappointment in his heart! Why didn't those brothers who lived and died together come to save me? Even if it was a little effort! But we didn't do anything!"
"In the past eight years, I have also had the same hard time! I have constantly shifted my gaze, I go to have fun, I go to bully my junior brother to find pleasure, I am afraid! I am afraid that in the dead of night, the senior brother will ask me! Ask me why I didn't save him! Why listen to him so much, let him leave? Hehe!" Mo Yanan touched his head and smiled, and he cried with a smile. I regret it once, and I won't regret it again!" "Yang Zixiao once said that for the sake of what he feels is meaningful, he should be brave enough to do it! Even if he dies, he is not afraid!"
"I'll stay too!" Chen Xu didn't say much, but from his eyes, he could see that he was ready to sacrifice!
Wang Dawei was a little helpless, why didn't he want to stay? But does this make sense? Yang Zixiao may have suffered misfortune at this time, but the seeds sown by Yang Zixiao still need to be cared for! Even if he bears the infamy, he has to take care of the Xiaomeng and the spark left by Yang Zixiao! He smiled self-deprecatingly, he has carried the infamy of Wang Ran for eight years, so why not carry it again for Yang Zixiao?
"I'm leaving! Even if you scold me, I believe that Yang Zixiao will definitely understand me!" Wang Dawei turned and sped away, leaving behind the three people outside the cave.
The remaining three were silent, but none of them scolded him, and none of them blamed him for being greedy for life and afraid of death!
After a long time, Mo Yanan said slowly: "I can understand him, he is more difficult than us! He has died for a hundred years, and what the living carry is the most painful! We have all experienced the kind of days when life is worse than death! He has more courage than us!"
Li Mu and Chen Xu nodded, they didn't have the courage to experience that kind of living dead again. And Wang Dawei would rather bear the infamy again for Yang Zixiao's long-cherished wish!
"Prepare for battle!" Mo Yanan snorted softly, and two more wolves and leopards came in the distance!
Yang Zixiao and Liu Ding ran wildly all the way, but they were still blocked by the wolf and leopard, and Liu Ding fought with one hand to burn the wolf and leopard that had been injured by Yang Zixiao.
"Don't be reckless, the wound will burst again in a while!" Yang Zixiao glanced back at Liu Ding.
Liu Ding smiled: "If I don't have a trace of value, I might as well die here!"
Yang Zixiao knew that he was an arrogant person and refused to be a burden. If he still doesn't let him do it, maybe he will really die. so as not to drag himself down, so he no longer persuades.
Hurry up, it's already dark! They should leave! Yang Zixiao looked at the sunset in the sky, and prayed in his heart that they had left, but deep down in his heart he hoped that they were still waiting for him. Although he knew that it was wrong for them to wait for him, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Li Mu, Chen Xu, and Mo Yanan were covered in blood, they were leaning against the cave, constantly fighting, and they didn't know how many wolves and leopards they had killed, and they didn't know which of the blood on their bodies was their own. Chen Xu was the most seriously injured and couldn't stand up. Li Mu's injuries were not light, the four scratches on his shoulders were deep in the bones, and the muscles were turned outward! If it weren't for Mo Yanan teaching them the martial arts tricks he had learned through Yang Zixiao these days, he might have died by now!
The three of them looked at each other silently, and suddenly they all laughed! It's not easy to die together!
"Pull a few more cushions!" Mo Yanan turned his head and smiled, "I will be a brother in the next life!"
"Wait!!That's it!!" Li Mu suddenly saw two figures rushing in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "It's them! Yang Zixiao and Liu Ding! They are not dead!"
Mo Yanan was also extremely excited! Qiang raised his aura to repel a wolf and leopard in front of him, and stepped forward to meet Yang Zixiao and the two. However, in addition to the excitement, there is a slight carelessness. The back was attacked by a wolf and leopard, and a claw of aura was under the hood, and it was too late to dodge. Mo Yanan sighed in his heart, just waiting for death. But at this time, the fire on Yang Zixiao's back was shining, and he came to Mo Yanan in an instant, a flame phoenix spread its wings out, and the claws of the aura were instantly dispersed. The two wolves and leopards in front of him had already turned to ashes without making a wailing sound.
"Why don't you retreat? Didn't I tell you? Before dark, whether I come back or not, I must leave!" Yang Zixiao came up and asked!
"Same mistake, we don't want to make it a second time! We won't regret it either!" Chen Xu, who almost collapsed to the ground, said with difficulty. Li Mu and Mo Yanan also nodded, their eyes firm.
"What about Wang Dawei?" asked Liu Ding, who only saw three people, but not Wang Dawei.
Liu Ding's faces were a little ugly, and they suddenly made a mistake, "Phew, run away, it's really not wrong to call him Wang Run!"
The three of them looked even worse after hearing this, but they didn't know how to explain it, so they looked at Yang Zixiao one after another.
Yang Zixiao's face darkened, and he said to Liu Ding seriously: "I understand him, death is terrible, and what is even more terrible is to live with infamy! He left for me and for the future of Phoenix Academy, he is very remarkable! Don't misunderstand!"
Putting aside those thoughts, Yang Zixiao looked at the four of them, his heart was extremely hot, and he was arrogant, he said loudly: "These wolves and leopards have made me feel terrified, but you can stay and face them bravely! Maybe we will all die here today, but not now! For everything that you and I cherish in the world, we must fight to the end! Even if there is a glimmer of hope, everyone should not give up!"
"We have nothing to fear!" the crowd roared in unison!
The gathered wolves and leopards have surrounded here, there are dozens of them, Yang Zixiao took the lead in fighting bravely, and the rest of the people also gritted their teeth and insisted, forcibly raising the last trace of aura, guarding Yang Zixiao's flanks.
[Sun Yan], [Vermilion Bird Strike], [Flying Phoenix], Yang Zixiao tirelessly blocked wave after wave of attacks.
Many wolves and leopards were reduced to ashes, but as the aura declined, everyone was slowly pushed to a corner.
The phoenix condensed by Yang Zixiao slowly weakened, not as huge as before. The strength was also greatly weakened, and although the wolf leopard was pierced through the chest just now, it was not burned to ashes. The rest of the people were covered with injuries, and they even found it difficult to stand, while Chen Xu had already stopped breathing! Everyone didn't have much sadness, maybe the next one would be himself!
Yang Zixiao was about to run out of strength, and the [Fire Wing] could no longer be used, and the decrease in speed made it impossible for him to avoid the attack. After seriously injuring a wolf leopard, he was also hit in the chest by the claws of the wolf leopard's aura, and the bloody wound looked very terrifying! Yang Zixiao gasped for breath and looked at the few people behind him, they were either half-leaning on the stone wall or standing strongly. And Yang Zixiao's situation is not optimistic, the continuous kills made his right hand tremble uncontrollably!
Everyone smiled and nodded to each other, knowing that death was inevitable and ready to end it on their own, which would reduce a lot of suffering.
At this moment, Yang Zixiao suddenly felt that the pressure was reduced, and the offensive of the wolf and leopard actually slowed down. Not far away, there was a earth-shattering sound of fighting, the flames soared into the sky, and countless phoenixes were flying!
A figure quickly rushed into the battle group and protected Yang Zixiao and the others behind him!, "Are you all okay?"
The person who came was Wang Dawei, but Wang Dawei swept around and found that Chen Xu did not move. Staring at Mo Yanan with red eyes, Mo Yanan felt a pain in his heart and shook his head gloomily. Wang Dawei looked up to the sky and roared, his heart like a knife! He ran wildly for his life, but he was still one step too late. He turned his grief into anger and poured out on the wolf leopard, and one of the wolf leopards unfortunately attacked him and was torn to pieces by him. And Wang Dawei alone was not enough to resist many wolves and leopards, and he suffered several minor injuries in an instant. Before a few people came and asked, many more people joined the battle group, it was Lin Xuandi and a few masters! The addition of several masters of the five veins changed the situation in an instant, and the wolf and leopard gradually retreated!
When Lin Xuandi looked at Yang Zixiao and the others were still alive, his hanging heart finally let go. When he learned the news brought by Wang Dawei, Lin Xuandi did not hesitate at all and was ready to come alone. Eight years ago, he regretted a decision he had made for the rest of his life, and this time he didn't hesitate. He doesn't care about the so-called right decision, maybe they have already died in battle by now, maybe they will die themselves! But for the sake of peace of mind, for the sake of a clear heart! He must make a little effort!
However, when he saw at the door, the masters of the other courtyards and half of the disciples of the Phoenix Academy were ready to go. He realized that he was not alone, and it turned out that this was the right decision.
Eight years ago, he was wrong after all, he thought that everyone was afraid of death and was unwilling to save people. But he didn't know that there was still a group of people who were not afraid of death, and those people had also been condemned by their conscience for eight years! He had found countless reasons to convince himself that he was not wrong, but at this moment he realized that many people did not care about sacrifice! For the sake of what they felt was worthwhile, what about death? This is probably the fearless heart that Yang Zixiao said! Lin Xuandi's heart knot was knotted for eight years, and his heart was extremely happy, and he rushed towards the Buried Bone Forest!
The people in the rear also followed, and some people Yang Zixiao didn't know, only Anxin and Wu Yunfei. However, what surprised him even more was that there were still a group of disciples at the peak of the second line of the Phoenix Academy, and half of the Phoenix Courtyard had been dispatched! Yang Zixiao knew that he had been saved, and his heart was relieved, and he was unsteady on his feet. Wu Yunfei came up and held on, "You can't die so quickly, Lao Tzu still has to fight with you!" Wu Yunfei looked at Yang Zixiao, thinking of when he first came, he saw the corpses all over the ground and the five people covered in blood, and his heart was extremely admirable!
Yang Zixiao said to Wu Yunfei gratefully: "Thank you! I can still hold on!" He gently pushed Wu Yunfei away, and walked behind him slowly, and the other three saw this, and they also struggled to push away the person who was holding him, and followed Yang Zixiao to Chen Xu, who was lying motionless on the ground.
The voice gradually subsided, and the wolf and leopard had retreated. The surrounding fires flickered and flickered, reflecting the blood-stained faces of the four men. Everyone didn't speak, and looked at the four people quietly. Yang Zixiao knelt down with a "bang", and the remaining three knelt down closely, and then all the Phoenix Academy disciples knelt down on one knee in unison.
Yang Zixiao had tears in his eyes, and gently picked up Chen Xu's body, standing side by side with the other three, facing everyone.
Everyone looked at the five of them, even though they were covered in blood, although they couldn't stand up straight, and their legs were shaking. But in the hearts of everyone, they are incomparably tall, tall, and tall! The corpses of wolves and leopards piled up at their feet, four blood-stained people and one person in their arms, constitute a picture. A picture that has been imprinted in the hearts of all people for many years - the five heroes of the Buried Bone Forest!
"Chen Xu, he died today. But in the face of death, his last words were······" Yang Zixiao paused.
"I don't regret it!" He said only these four words in his last sentence. He's a hero! We're sending him home!"
With tears in his eyes, Wang Dawei shouted: "Xiaomeng is fearless!"
"Xiao Meng is fearless!" all the Phoenix Courtyard disciples shouted loudly! One after another, it seemed to be Chen Xu's funeral song.
The masters and disciples of the other academies looked at this unprecedented group of people who had gathered together, looked at their red and determined eyes, and recalled that those second-vein disciples just now were also fighting with wolves and leopards without fear. There was a trace of admiration and solemnity in my heart, and the Phoenix Courtyard had changed! Perhaps this year's Inner Courtyard Contest Phoenix Courtyard would surely shine!
