Chapter 10: The Truth Emerges
I thought my life should be like this, but I didn't expect that I still had this opportunity to hand over the truth.
A flash of light, the light of the fire reflected by the metal weapon.
It was midnight, and in the most critical moment, midnight saved my life. She knocked out the blue fire in Sha Hai's hand and held me up.
Cha Hai's face was helpless, and his eyes were full of surprise. In the time that followed, his expression gradually changed to anger and resentment, he gritted his teeth, and his gaze was vicious. When the time comes, the prey will be taken away, and it will not be anyone else, but the people of your own people.
Midnight's spear was aimed at Sha Hai's neck, and although they were not very close to each other, it was extremely easy to kill him.
She looked at the sea and asked me, "Are you okay?"
Because I eased up a little just now, I can use my strength now. I stood up, clutched my chest, and said, "It's okay, it's much better now." β
"You go, I'm here. β
"You're not going to let him kill me?"
Midnight sneered and said, "Why did I want him to kill you, what good is it for me? A thousand steps to the south, Jun Youxiao is there, you go and help him get out. β
"What about you?"
"I'll be there then, and if you go back to the city in the middle of the night, and you don't see me, I'll be gone. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Midnight quickly turned around and scolded, "Hurry up!" She turned back to stare at Shahai.
Since midnight has made up my mind, I don't have anything to say, I just said a word of attention, and then ran to the south.
Seeing that I had already run away, Chahai was about to chase after me, but was blocked by the head of the midnight spear. Midnight's eyes did not leave the sea, and there was a look in his eyes that did not belong to her.
"With me here, you must not touch him in the slightest. β
Running due south, all the way was blocked by the soldiers of the Que Demon Clan, but they were far inferior to me, after all, I had divine power. But even so, their appearance also delayed too much time for me on the way to find Jun Youxiao.
ran for a long time, but there was no shadow of Jun Youxiao. Midnight won't lie to me. It seems that Jun Youxiao has shifted places.
Looking around, I saw Jun Youxiao surrounded by a group of soldiers of the Que Demon Clan. From my point of view, Jun Youxiao is a disadvantage, but in fact, it is not. When he got closer, Jun Youxiao waved the halberd in his hand and pointed it at the soldiers of the Demon Clan.
Generally speaking, Jun Youxiao almost knocked down a soldier with one blow, and there was absolutely no chance of survival, so he was killed. Now that I think about it, the title of God of War is not a loss to him at all, and this should be how Jun Youxiao achieved the name of being undefeated in a hundred battles.
Although there are fewer and fewer soldiers surrounding Jun Youxiao, I still can't stand idly by. Just when I was about to step forward to help Jun Youxiao, something unexpected happened that we didn't expect.
"Get out of here!"
As I spoke, I blocked Jun Youxiao's back, conjuring up a half-water, half-ice shield made of water, blocking the incoming cloud of black smoke. This black smoke seems to be soft, and the power is infinite, and I almost can't stop it.
Jun Youxiao and I faced each other with our backs, in a defensive posture.
He looked around him and said, "Midnight didn't look for you, why did you come?"
"Midnight said that you are in danger here, and she is there to deal with Shahai, let me come first. β
"How do you leave her alone?"
"Don't worry, she's midnight. β
Neither of us spoke, and looked around. All around us were those soldiers just now, and we couldn't tell who was attacking Jun Youxiao at all. Or rather, the man is hiding in a hidden place.
"It's hard to forgive me for hurting so many soldiers. β
Looking at the voice on our side, it was a middle-aged man who spoke, but he must have been much older than he appeared. On his right cheek was the mark of the Que Demon Clan, exactly the same as the one before me. There was no one in this place just now, he appeared out of thin air.
"Who are you? Hurting people behind your back is not a hero's doing. Jun Youxiao asked.
The man smiled, very weird, and said: "On the battlefield, how can there be such a thing as a hero, and some are just your life and death." Soul Breaking Realm Jun You Xiao, Yan Chenchi, you are mortals, no, one of them is not an ordinary mortal. β
With that, he pointed at me. How could he have known in such detail.
"Who the hell are you?"
He snorted and said, "The Que Demon Clan is a thousand years old. β
Chiaki, the general of the Demon Clan, specializes in stealth and long-range attacks. was the deputy general of the Soul Breaking Realm before, and he followed Yanhuan closely. After that, Yanhuan defected to the Que Demon Clan, and he also followed. To the public, the Soul Breaking Realm claimed that Qi Qianqiu had died, and I only learned about this from Lingyu.
"Why would you want to betray the Broken Spirit Realm, it's too unwise to follow someone like Yan Xun. β
"Looks like you know a lot. β
As he spoke, he walked towards us. The soldiers in that direction walked away to make way for him. Perhaps in the eyes of these soldiers, one is enough.
"Now that we all know each other, let's fight it out, anyway, it's only a matter of time before you are beaten. He waved his hand and told all the soldiers around us to leave to deal with our soldiers.
Jun Youxiao and I faced him and made defensive gestures again. This time, the two of us were surprisingly consistent.
Chiaki sneered, raised his hand, and instantly a cloud of black smoke surrounded him. This smoke reminds me of Mu Luo's death, Li Sima's death, and this time he must be eliminated.
Jun Youxiao's halberd was raised, and before I could react, he made the first move. He has always liked to strike first.
He struck three times and two times, and picked up Chiaki, but he was dodged by Chiaki. After a few rounds, Chiaki began to move.
"I let you before, and now it's time for you to wait for mortals to see my true strength. β
As soon as the words fell, before I could see Qi Qianqiu's movements, I saw Jun Youxiao take a few steps back, and then spit out a mouthful of thick blood.
Qi Qianqiu's expression was relaxed, and he sighed with admiration, and said, "No wonder others call you the 'God of War', and that's true." If it had been someone else, he would have died a long time ago. Looks like you're still in the middle of it. Still, it's only a matter of time before I die at my hands. β
Jun Youxiao stood up straight and rushed towards Qi Qianqiu again. He didn't reserve his strength, but used all the strength around him. It is unimaginable that this time, Jun Youxiao's attack was successful. His halberd cut through Chiaki's armor and hurt his cheek even more, and the mark instantly appeared blood-colored, and then red blood flowed out.
Their blood is the same as ours.
Chiaki, who had been confident just now, changed color, and he could almost see the burning anger in his eyes. This resentment burned, turning into clouds of black smoke, surrounding Jun Youxiao.
"Come out, Jun Youxiao!"
Before the words were over, the black smoke rushed towards Jun Youxiao together, drowning his figure. What I was given afterwards was only Jun Youxiao's painful cry.
That cry was the saddest I had ever heard in my life, but I could hear that Jun Youxiao deliberately wanted to hold back, but in the end it was called. Jun Youxiao did this because he didn't want me to feel uneasy.
Then, in front of me, the black smoke cleared, and Jun Youxiao fell directly. He slumped limply on the ground, as if there was too much damage inside his body.
I hurriedly ran forward and helped him up, but it was useless, Jun Youxiao's body was getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't support his body at all.
"It's overwhelming. Chiaki said, brushing over his injuries.
Jun Youxiao's breath is very weak, one by one, and if he goes on like this, he will lose his life.
Chiaki also struck me with a blow, and at this time, I quickly picked up the spear on the ground and threw it at him. Taking advantage of the time of Qi Qianqiu's dodge, I closed my eyes and moved to the city platform with Jun Youxiao.
It wasn't too far, because Jun Youxiao's physical strength was not good, we fell down halfway and landed at the city gate. Good thing there was no fighting.
I banged on the door and shouted inside, expecting someone to open the door for us.
"It's useless, you can't open the city gate at this time anyway, even if all the soldiers and generals outside are killed. This is the rule of the Jinghua Army. β
I supported Jun Youxiao's head and asked, "How are you now? I must take you to see a military doctor." β
Jun Youxiao closed his eyes, tilted his head, and said, "No need, I don't have long to live." β
"Don't say such frustrating words, you are the god of war. You're dead, what about the Soul Breaker?"
Jun Youxiao smiled reluctantly and said, "Isn't there still you, is there a midnight?"
"Yes, you are so good to Midnight, you are suddenly gone, Midnight will definitely be sad. β
He closed his eyes, as if reminiscing, and then said, "Years ago, because of the war, I lost the people I loved. It wasn't long before I went to the battlefield again, but I killed Midnight Sister by mistake. The pain of watching someone I care about die is unforgettable, so I understand the pain in Midnight's heart. Midnight didn't say anything, but I still wanted to make it up to her. β
I was silent, listening to Jun Youxiao's words.
"Before, like you, I naively thought that war was to protect the people I loved. However, half of my fathers who led the family died in battle, and only a few survived. In one battle, the other party kidnapped my betrothed lover and brutally killed her in front of me. β
He closed his eyes, looking very pained. Half from his body, half from his inner memories.
"After that, I became ruthless and wanted to end the war sooner. But after fighting for so long, there was no intention of stopping. After that, I met you, and you were the same as I was at first, so naΓ―ve as you thought of war, and watched your companions leave one after another. I don't want you to be like me. I began to realize how stupid I had been before, and that so-called 'God of War' was simply a self-deceptive title. β
After saying that, he coughed twice, and his face turned pale. I've never seen him like this.
"Alright, don't talk about it, we're going back soon. β
Jun Youxiao coughed again, this time coughing up blood. The blood color is amazing, stimulating every inch of me, it comes from the war, from the battlefield, from Jun Youxiao.
I screamed as hard as I could, hoping that the soldiers inside would open the gates, and I knew they were inside the gates, just one door away from us. But this short distance of a few inches separates us so far and separates life and death so closely. Just a change of thought, death will be life. However, all this is just an impossible fantasy.
Because I was dazed, I remembered that I could teleport. I hugged Jun Youxiao, who was already dying, fantasized about the wounded barracks, and transferred Jun Youxiao to the military doctor.
When they first saw Jun Youxiao's appearance, the military doctors were also dumbfounded, they had never seen such a serious injury. The wound spreads from the inside to the outside, and the chances of revival are few and far between. But I can't watch Jun You Xiao die in vain.
When no one was around, I helped Jun Youxiao up and let him lean on me. I tried to transfer the power from my body to him little by little.
Jun Youxiao gradually became conscious, but I felt that my vision was blurred. Jun Youxiao opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak.
"Stop, you'll die. β
"Don't speak, I'll save you. I don't want Midnight to be sad. β
Jun Youxiao sneered faintly, and even his voice trembled: "Don't say such things, I know, you can do it, and then I will take care of Midnight and leave it to you." Looks like I'm going back to see my family. There, I can retract my serious appearance and indulge in their dealings. β
"Stupid things again. β
"I didn't, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Every battle before me was my last. Seeing death as home, should be what I thought. I may have been too harsh on my soldiers, whether it was the Jinghua Army or other armies, I had them undergo training that ordinary people could not bear. This is done just so that they can survive on the battlefield. However, this still failed to save much. β
"Don't say it, concentrate. β
"No, let me continue. In the future, don't be like me, the real way to cherish soldiers is not to fight, but if a man hides, then what is the point of existence. In the future, you have to be a good general who loves the soldiers, assists the realm master, and don't raise troops until you have fun. As for Midnight, her temper is a little worse, but I find that since you came, she has learned to laugh and be gentle. I'm relieved that she's handed it over to you. It's a pity that I still couldn't pay back the life of my midnight sister. β
I suddenly felt that the power could not be transmitted into Jun Youxiao's body, and it was he who refused. Does he not want to trouble me anymore? If he forcibly comes in, neither of us will end well.
I couldn't help but cry, Jun Youxiao's heart was never expressed, he didn't seem to care about other people's seriousness, but he cared about others the most.
When Jun Youxiao was about to return to the sky, Lan Yun suddenly lit up, something I had never seen before. The bright light of stimulation stirred my eyes, and then I lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes, I lay in my tent with the midnight in front of me, anxiously staring at me. Her face was covered in dust and blood, and when I woke up, there were tears in her eyes.
I touched Midnight's face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, all my memories were restored, and I sat up and asked, "Where is Jun Youxiao?"
Midnight stroked my eyebrow bone and said, "He's fine, he'll be fine." It must have been you who transferred the power in your body to his body, which is why he will hold on for so long. But in the end, Lan Yun saved you. β
I touched Lan Yun on my chest, but I didn't expect to rely on it to save the two of us in the end. There was no one in the house, so I hurried to ask about other things.
"By the way, what's wrong with you, isn't there still a war out there? Are you hurt?"
Midnight smiled softly and said, "You still care about me?"
"Of course, although you didn't tell me the truth, I still cared about you. At least you're safe. "The further back I go, the weaker my voice becomes.
She smiled and said, "There is already a truce outside, I just suffered some flesh and skin wounds, and the sea spared me." β
I breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly lay down.
Midnight laughed again, half docile and half firm, and said, "I said, when I come back, I will explain it to you clearly." β
With that, her expression became serious. She slowly untied the blood-soaked cloth band of her left hand, and tore it off little by little, revealing her fair skin.
What she had on her wrist was something I could never forget in my life, it was so relevant to me that it carried with me all my painful memories. I've always hoped that Midnight's left hand was a scar instead of this mark. The mark of the Que Demon Clan.
"You guessed it right, I'm from the Que Demon Clan. β
I waited for her to continue, telling me that it was all just an illusion.
Midnight's mouth opened and he said the words I had been waiting for.
