Chapter 01: Annihilation
Dawn.
The spring day will not rise, and the sky seems to be a little cloudy.
In the depths of Sunset Gorge, surrounded by mountains, the forests are dangerous and the waters are evil, so at dawn, it is shrouded in a deathly silence. A thin mountain fog kept pervading, except for the dawn that was about to rise in the east.
...... It's all dim.
A new leaf, blown off by an inexplicable wind.
Drift slowly.
But seeing Qin Chuan rushing from outside the valley, his heavy breathing became the only voice in this dead silence. He was already exhausted to the extreme, and his dantian had already been almost exhausted by using a true yuan method like relying on the void to resist the wind, which consumed a lot of body to travel. Compared with the fatigue of this body, the heart is even more tired.
Extremely anxious.
Gradually, Qin Chuan stopped.
A poignant long song of a lonely bird broke the silence at the right time, but it brought great unease.
Qin Chuan saw that before facing him, from the valley basin, a trembling figure staggered and walked towards him at an extremely slow speed. It's like, a dream that never happened.
A faint glow, bewildered.
But it's so real.
Her former elegance has long since disappeared in the struggle of death. A dress, stained with blood, leaving no half of the light, her expression was full of endless misery, and the pair of people who broke the sky and the earth in their hands had long since disappeared. All reliance, as if at this moment, was lost.
The moment he saw Qin Chuan, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"Smoke ......"
Qin Chuan called, his voice was a little hoarse, and his footsteps seemed to be deeply mired, and he couldn't move at all. Although, I had expected it, and I was trying my best to save ......
...... And so it turned out!
However, it was difficult to accept it for a while.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Liu Shenyan lost his mind and fell down. Qin Chuan took a quick step, allowing her to lean on her shoulder, and she could really feel the bitterness in her heart.
In my ears, I heard her soft murmur.
So, sad!
"I'm still ...... Couldn't save him......"
“......”
At this moment, Qin Chuan's mind was blank and speechless.
Through Liu Shenyan's shoulders, I could see that on the basin in the valley, corpses were all over the field, and blood flowed like a river. The desolation after the smoke of gunpowder seems to disappear forever as the dawn approaches. A terrible hiss kept echoing in my ears, and the morning breeze was blowing, and it was cold through my heart.
is no longer like the previous battlefield, at this moment, the corpses all over the ground are all disciples and disciples of various sects and factions of the Central Plains Righteous Dao, like a killing that crushes everything, in front of the Demon Dao, all of them are dying.
The embers after the fire, snorting.
In fact, it is like a lamentation.
...... What's going on?
Qin Chuan couldn't describe the scene he saw at this moment in words, he only felt that the tips of the willow smoke in his arms were constantly beating his cheeks in the wind, but it was a piercing pain in his heart.
At a glance, I saw the scene I didn't want to see.
“......”
Qin Chuan bit his lips and slowly soaked out a touch of red. A pair of eyes slowly closed, but they couldn't dispel the pain of twisting their hearts, and the fists in their hands were clenched and gurgling.
In the center of the corpse, a familiar person, lying quietly.
Ye Qiuqi's original black hair had completely faded away at this moment, turning into a miserable white, scattered in the dirt, and stained with filth. His eyes were closed, and his pale face seemed to have the same cunning smile as before, and he looked so peaceful. But he was so helpless and so sorrowful.
Qin Chuan always felt that he would suddenly jump up from that soil, like every time before, boasting to himself how invincible he was in the world. However, after waiting for a long time, I still didn't think so.
He can't jump anymore.
All life is truly and completely extinguished.
He's dead.
......
A round of scorching sun rose to the sky.
Heaven and earth are shrouded in brightness, but still, I can't feel half of the warmth.
Who would have thought that the Confucian Sanyin monk, who is the head of the righteous path and the supreme cultivator of truth, would become a puppet of the Dark Gate decades ago. A long sky order lured hundreds of people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains Righteous Path, all of whom were buried in this Sunset Gorge. All benevolent ambitions turned into a lament.
The sky broke through the waves, and it became a horse leather shroud.
...... Dry bones all over the ground!
Qin Chuan didn't have time to investigate what happened in this Sunset Gorge for the time being, and Ye Qiuqi, who was still cold on the side, didn't say anything, just to save Liu Shenyan's life, he couldn't allow himself to be distracted.
On a mountain cliff, Qin Chuan clasped the pulse of the woman in his arms, and the true yuan in his body, which was already not rich, was all injected into the other party's meridians without reservation. In addition to exhaustion, Liu Shenyan was also extremely seriously injured, and the heavens and earth that were connected to the lifeline were forcibly taken away by someone.
Lives are in danger!
The morning sun shines brightly, sprinkled on the bodies of the two of them, for a long, long time.
It wasn't until the scorching sun was in the sky that Qin Chuan pulled out his hand, wiped away the sweat rolling on his forehead, and gently placed Liu Shenyan aside. Fortunately, the man who shot it didn't seem to have any intention of taking his life.
Liu Shenyan can be regarded as rescued.
"Hoo ......"
Looking at Liu Shenyan, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he turned around and looked at Ye Qiuqi on the boulder on the other side, with a bitter color passing between his eyebrows.
He's dead.
Ye Qiuqi, who never let himself worry, is really dead at this moment.
Thinking back then, the first encounter between himself and him in Jiyun Temple, the life and death together in Fuxi Mountain, and the bits and pieces of living together on Luoyan Peak. How could this boy, whose eyes are higher than himself, whose heart is wider than himself, and who never gives sorrow to others, let go so patiently this time?
For the sake of ethereal morality?
Or is it for the countless relatives and friends behind you?
But why didn't he stay for the sake of his wife and children?
Qin Chuan was miserable. He stayed in the Central Plains for the sake of the child in Ah Luoye's womb, but Ye Qiuqi abandoned his and Su Xiaoyan's flesh and blood in the world for the same thing.
"I have a baby, but you don't know it yet!"
"You've been bragging to others about going like this, but how do you want me to explain to Xiaoyan?"
"Fuck off, you ......"
“......”
......
For a long, long time.
From sunrise to sunset, Qin Chuan didn't say a word.
kept looking at Ye Qiuqi's increasingly cold corpse, quietly in a daze. Looking at that extremely peaceful face, you can still see the hippie smiling face of the past, and there is no serious nonsense at that moment.
No more, I can't hear it.
"Qinchuan ......"
Suddenly, Liu Shenyan on one side finally woke up from his slumber. The first cry was such a miserable wail. She could really feel the bitterness in Qin Chuan's heart at this moment.
"You...... Ahem, you're awake. ”
Qin Chuan replied lightly, and his voice was a little choked.
"It's all my fault, I couldn't save him......"
Liu Shenyan said, but he sobbed in front of Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan had never seen her in such a posture, even when the Jade Sword Immortal fell, she didn't shed a single tear.
But at this moment, I couldn't help it.
"How did he get there?"
Qin Chuan stood up and asked in a somewhat hoarse tone.
Immediately, Liu Shenyan bit his lip, and a bitter color flashed in his eyes:
"Last night we were ambushed, and Half Moon sacrificed the Demon Breaking Order to cast a killing array that no one had ever seen before. And for some reason, the monks of Shanyin defected, trapping thousands of our righteous people in the great array. All the disciples who were not strong enough died like this in the first place......"
“......”
"The masters of each sect did not hesitate to spend the Yuan Shen to break the cage of the Sanyin monks, and in this way, one person was needed to be able to deal with the terrible killing of the Demon Breaking Order. As a result, as a result, he stood up ......"
“......”
"Jingxu Zhenren and Yin Zen Master joined forces to suppress the Sanyin monks. But before the demon array was broken, he said that he could deal with it alone, and let us take the lead in withdrawing from the valley, and he was left alone. ”
"Then why are you going back?"
"How could I not know that his words were already deadly. ”
“......”
Qin Chuan was silent.
What kind of temperament is Ye Qiuqi, and how can he not know?
Don't say that others, even if they are themselves, are sometimes confused by his indifferent words, and with the power of the Xuanyuan bloodline, how can the people of the world distrust him?
Even if he had ten lives, how could it be enough?
He's a self-righteous guy!
Opinionated......
"Then, what about Shangguan Yao?"
After being silent for a long time, Qin Chuan choked up and asked about another person in his heart. It is said that she should also be the same as Liu Shenyan, and even know Ye Qiuqi better than Liu Shenyan.
But why is she missing?
"Shangguan Yaoben and Ye Qiuqi fought against the Demon Breaking Array together, but she was far less resilient than Xuantian Yujian. Before we could withdraw, she was already in a coma from exhaustion, and at this moment she must have been taken back to Luoyan Peak by Jing Xuzi. ”
"Hoo ......"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan let out a long sigh.
Finally, he set his sights on Ye Qiuqi, who had no more life.
At this time, Liu Shenyan supported his weak body and slowly stood up. What she saw was Qin Chuan's incomparably plain face, so flat that she couldn't see the slightest state of mind. Her face was bitter, but she was full of grief and indignation, if she was stronger, she would not have been robbed of her weapon and almost lost her life.
What's more, let Ye Qiuqi end up like this.
"Can he save his life?"
Suddenly, Liu Shenyan asked softly.
But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it a little. It is true that a person who cultivates the truth will not die so easily, but once the lifeline is exhausted and death is truly declared, then it is impossible to come back to life from the dead.
Her asking like this undoubtedly touched the sore spot in Qin Chuan's heart.
However, suddenly, I saw Qin Chuan's eyebrows condensed, his fists clenched, but he turned around and looked directly at Liu Shenyan. It seems that at this moment, it is not to Liu Shenyan alone, but to the ruthless Heavenly Dao, to issue an unyielding cry, with this unyielding soul, issued a promise from the bottom of his heart:
"I'll definitely save him!"
