Chapter 52: The Moon Shadow in the Gap, the Scars of the World
The three-foot journey seems so long at this moment.
Dozens or hundreds of poisonous snakes rushed up from the cracks in the ground and spat venom at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen used "space distortion" to defend, but he couldn't resist it in all directions, and sporadic venom splashed on his body, penetrating his clothes and corroding his body, making him snort.
The true element in his body could not stop the penetration of the toxin, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Not far away, the figure of the piper, like a spot of light in the water, diffused in the sparkling ripples and gradually disappeared......
Are you going to sleep here?
No, of course not!
Chiyang is still fighting outside! I won't let him down!
Even if you die, Young Master Ben will drag you to hell with you!
With a breath staggering in his chest, Jiang Chen's consciousness gathered again, and he felt that something in his chest was hot, burning his skin.
- It is the jade pendant he hides in his arms, shining at this time!
A warm force then poured into Jiang Chen's chest.
Jiang Chen's line of sight became clear again, looking at the piper, his eyebrows were angry, and there seemed to be something clanging on the spiritual platform, wanting to squirt out, not vomiting or unhappy.
Like a sword hiding the edge, the pity is full of fighting spirit, and it is still ringing in the box!
Jiang Chen gathered all the remaining divine elements on his fingers, completely abandoned the resistance to the toxin, aimed at the position of the piper, and activated the fifth-order divine power that he had never comprehended, but it was like instinct.
Gather the strength of my life, at the cost of my life, and always leave some traces in the world......
Space - Scars!
The space is distorted to the extreme, and it is torn apart.
The scars of the rift widened, turning into a cold moon-like cold wave that spread.
The halo is beautiful, stunning, and a symbol of despair and death.
The thick aperture tore through it, and the guardian barrier was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the glow.
The piper bowed his head in a daze, and countless black lines like cobwebs appeared on the black robe, like cracks in the mirror, and then after a brief silence, they cracked.
The withered limbs were scattered in one piece, but there was not a trace of blood.
Jiang Chen looked down at the corpse of the piper in front of him, and the strength of his body was completely drained.
"Boom!" He knelt on his knees, his hands propped up on his upper body, fighting his last breath and not wanting to fall.
'How unwilling! Young Master Ben's life has just begun, he has not yet become famous in the world, and he has not yet appeared on the "Heroes List", but he is going to die in this kind of ghost place inexplicably......
More importantly, I'm still a child! For two lifetimes! ’
'I can't die here!' ’
Consciousness was drowsy for a while, and Miss Gao's shout next to her became distant:
"Hey, Jiang Chen, don't die! Help me unchain! Don't scare me! Feed! Hey......"
His right hand finally couldn't hold it anymore, and Jiang Chen fell to the ground, his consciousness falling into a huge vortex as black as ink.
In the empty world, he couldn't feel the passage of the world, his soul fluttered, and after a long time, suddenly a burning pain sucked his soul into his body.
"Xiao Jiang, wake up ......"
Before I opened my eyes, I felt a stream of hot slurry flowing in my body, seeping into my lungs, and my limbs were burning like fire, and my clothes were soaked with sweat.
Jiang Chen felt as if he was in a sea of blazing fire, and the heat permeated his whole body, like a live fish being fried.
"It's hot......" he snorted, realizing that his voice was extremely weak, and the breath coming out of his mouth was hot white smoke.
Barely lifting his eyelids, he saw a familiar face crouched in front of him, smiling down at him.
"Chiyang...... I'm not dead? ”
"Almost, I snatched you back from the ghost gate." Chiyang's voice was extremely astringent.
His face also had many wrinkles, and his eyes lost their previous resolute and gentle look, as if he had aged dozens of years in a short period of time.
"Thank you...... But what are you doing, scalding me to death......" Jiang Chen wanted to brace his body, but found that his hands and feet were weak, so he had to continue to endure the torment of the fire.
"It's my blood." Chiyang's smile was mixed with a little bitterness, "I poured boiling blood into you, only in this way can I get rid of the toxins in your body." ”
"Won't you lose too much blood like this? It's really grandma's hot......" Jiang Chen said, feeling that the flame that ignited from inside his body was about to burn the whole person to ashes, and his consciousness became a little drowsy again.
In the illusion that the soul is about to fly, the hot sensation seems to gradually leave him.
Jiang Chen closed his heavy eyelids, and his consciousness became ethereal.
Perhaps, as the Buddhists say, if you can get rid of the sea of suffering after death, it will probably not be so uncomfortable......
"Xiao Jiang, don't sleep, I have something to tell you!" Chiyang's hurried hoarse voice summoned Jiang Chen back from his ethereal artistic conception, "You are not out of danger now, you must cheer up, otherwise...... Maybe you'll never wake up again! ”
Chiyang's words made Jiang Chen wake up a lot. He opened his eyes with difficulty, licked his dry lips, and whispered, "Water, is there water?" ”
"There's no water, just hold on and endure it for a while."
"Alas, so thirsty......"
Chiyang patted him on the back, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "There is one thing I want to tell you. ”
"Say it."
"I'm dying."
Jiang Chen was stunned, and it took a long time for him to use his drowsy brain to figure out the meaning of this sentence.
His heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and he didn't know where he got the strength, and he sat up suddenly: "Are you kidding me?" ”
"Don't move!" Chiyang hurriedly pressed his shoulder with his left hand.
Jiang Chen only then realized that Chiyang's right wrist was pressed against his chest, and blood was gushing out, seeping into his toxin-eroded wound. The hot and burning power that Jiang Chen felt originated from here!
Jiang Chen asked eagerly, "Why?" Is it to save me? No, take your hands away, I don't need you to save me! ”
"Don't get excited, calm down, listen to me......" Chiyang said in a hoarse voice, "In the battle just now, I was overwhelmed, I ran out of oil, and my internal organs were cut off, even if I didn't save you, I would definitely not be able to go back......"
"How so?" Jiang Chen clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.
Chiyang continued, "So I pass on my blood to you, not only to remove your snake venom, but also to give you the power of a mad blood warrior. This is the secret technique of our mad blood clan, and through the ritual of "blood pouring", we can pass on the boiling blood from generation to generation. From now on, you will be able to possess the physique, strength, and speed of a mad blood warrior, and you will even be able to break through the limits of the mundane and enter the legendary Xuangang realm...... You know, boy, I've had this idea before, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. ”
"I ......"
"Don't shed tears, you have inherited the boiling bloodline, be a strong man! Boy, you have an amazing talent for martial arts, but you are limited by your innate physical conditions, so you have been trapped in the second-order "molting" realm. Today I will remove this weakness for you, and it won't be long before you will be famous all over the world and on the "Heroes List"! This is your dream all along, and it is also my dream, can you help me achieve it? ”
"I ...... It can be done! ”
"The power of the boiling bloodline comes at the cost of overdrawing lives, so the lifespan of a berserker is always very short. But as a cultivator, you are cultivating the path of life, and you must have a way to make up for this. Chiyang smiled slightly, and his voice began to be low, "I have a younger brother named Chiluo, who ran away from home when he was seven years old, and now he has been almost ten years. Counting, about the same age as you, you should have grown into a man who stands up to the sky. If you meet him one day, bring him this wrench in my hand. ”
"Okay, I'll find him!"
"Also, I have one more request."
"You say, as long as I can do it......"
"Forgive Lao Jing! Don't blame him, don't seek revenge on them! Life and death are nothing but a vain dream in the end, this is my fate, and there is no need to resent others. I want you to forgive the sins of the Twin Wolf Hunting Pack, can you promise me? ”
Jiang Chen involuntarily clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, saw Chiyang's sad eyes, and finally nodded. "I promise you that I won't embarrass them."
"That's fine, I don't have anything to worry about...... Chiyang's right hand slowly withdrew from Jiang Chen's chest and hung down on his lap, like a sitting meditation-like posture.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he couldn't hold back any longer, lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
When he looked up again, he found that Chiyang had stopped breathing, sitting still like a clay statue, and had passed away for a long time.
Jiang Chen slowly bent down, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling rhythmically.
This frustration of wandering and helplessness, the powerlessness of watching his best friend pass away, the empty sense of loss, deeply tormented his soul.
This moment was the loneliest and most painful moment in Jiang Chen's life.
