"Yan Ruyu, is Xiaoning crazy? Are you crazy too?" Zhao Huai roared.
Zhao Shuning's face was already deathly pale. Hearing Yan Ruyu's words and looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be lying. Zhao Shuning panicked. Feng Buran's words were more painful than a thousand swords piercing her heart.
She struggled and felt restless. The jade flute in Yan Ruyu's hand was the "Soul - Leaving Lament" and the "Heart - Breaking Melody". This was a tune created by Yan Ruyu's mother. Who would have thought that one day it would be used on her third son.
Zhao Shuning was in despair. She shook her head, and her crazy eyes were almost pleading. Tears welled up in her eyes. "No, don't leave me, Buran."
"If you really dare to leave me like this, Ning'er, I, Feng Buran, swear that I will never let you go to the Underworld alone. I mean what I say."
Those cold eyes could be filled with so much tenderness. Zhao Shuning was in agony. She looked at Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai was startled and quickly said, "Both of you are crazy."
"Brother, I beg you. Please stop him. You can do it. He has a bright future, unlike me. I have no choice. Brother, you can stop him, right?"
Zhao Huai's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. Originally, he was already very dissatisfied with Zhao Shuning's decision. On one hand, he was worried that Xiaoning'er might really vanish into thin air. On the other hand, he was worried that Yan Ruyu might really do something stupid.
"You two!"
"Brother, he has lost his natal lotus and exhausted too much of his cultivation. You can stop him, brother. I beg you."
Zhao Huai was extremely angry but could only follow Zhao Shuning's words and stepped forward to stop Yan Ruyu.
At this moment, Yan Ruyu seemed to be possessed. No one could get close to him. There was a killing aura that had been sealed for thousands of years in his body. It seemed to be breaking free from the shackles of his body and surging out.
Zhao Shuning's consciousness was completely blurred. Yan Ruyu's eyes were filled with despair. Her whole body was gradually losing strength.
Buran, I have no choice. You are the light in this world that I want to protect.
"Please take care of my family for me. Take good care of them. Please tell them I'm sorry for me."
Harming them was really not my intention.
Zhao Huai's body was also shaken far away by the sudden killing aura emitted by Yan Ruyu. Due to the strength of this aura, the barrier formed by his natal lotus even cracked. With a loud "crack", the barrier shattered. A huge red lotus quickly withered and turned into thousands of petals, dissipating with the wind.
A powerful internal force immediately set off a huge wave on the Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent. Tens of thousands of people below were affected. Their bodies tilted backward one after another. Many of those with weaker abilities were even shaken to vomit blood on the spot by this powerful killing aura.
Yan Ruyu's eyes turned from bright blue to scarlet at this moment. His whole - body aura began to become terrifying.
Zhao Huai was greatly shocked. This aura? It had a bit of the aura of the ancient great emperor back then. Did Yan Ruyu, besides being the third son of the Feng family, hide other secrets?
There was no time to think. At this moment, cracks began to appear on Zhao Shuning's body. Her last consciousness was falling into chaos.
Without Xiaoning'er, what would Yan Ruyu become? Zhao Huai couldn't imagine at this moment.
"Yan Ruyu, you must calm down."
"Remember what Xiaoning'er told you."
With scarlet eyes, Yan Ruyu broke through the last barrier set by the thousand - year stone soul and flew towards Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning's body began to become transparent.
"Buran—"
"Live well."
"Live for me too."
After saying these words, the last barrier in front of Zhao Shuning shattered.
He should be able to live well, right? She saw on the silver plate. She saw that in the future, Buran would have a happy life, a loving family, and a smart, kind, and lively daughter. He would be very happy. He would live happily in the future without her.
Her eyes slowly closed. The last bit of consciousness in her body completely disappeared.
Yan Ruyu went crazy and rushed towards Zhao Shuning. At this moment, his spiritual power made the thousands of monsters behind Zhao Huai start to wail.
As Zhao Shuning closed her eyes, the phoenix, the king of all birds, finally closed its tired eyes. Earlier, it had used all its strength to transfer to its master to deal with Mo Yan. Being able to hold on until now was already the limit of the phoenix. Its master was dead. It had no reason to stay in this world anymore.
The phoenix's spiritual power completely disappeared, and it turned into an extremely ordinary bird and flew towards Zhao Shuning's side.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of Zhao Shuning's body. Most of the power of this black shadow had been consumed by Zhao Shuning with the blood formation of ten thousand people earlier. If the natal lotus hadn't been destroyed now, this thousand - year stone soul might have been completely strangled on the Divine Mountain of the Nine States.
But as soon as the thousand - year stone soul emerged, it immediately felt a more ferocious force. It suddenly froze. Not because it was too surprised to escape, but because it was completely bound by another force and couldn't escape at all.
Yan Ruyu slowly hugged Zhao Shuning and gently removed the iron chains formed by the blood formation behind her, as if he was afraid of hurting her. However, no matter how gently he did it, the girl in his arms had already stopped breathing.
Yan Ruyu injected his power into Zhao Shuning's body. Zhao Shuning's body gradually changed from transparent to solid. Yan Ruyu's power could actually restore a body that had lost its soul, spiritual power, and was forcibly introduced into the blood formation of ten thousand people to its previous state. Such a world - turning power was really seen for the first time in the world.
Zhao Huai was shocked and took a step back. At this moment, Yan Ruyu's aura was terrifyingly powerful. He was no longer as cold as before, and the faint fragrance of green bamboo no longer lingered around him.
Violence, blood - thirst, hatred, and depravity.
Wait. All these negative emotions were actually emitted from Yan Ruyu.
At this moment, the divine beast Bai Ze, who had always been by his side, also turned black in an instant. Not only its color but also its appearance had completely changed. It had a human face and a dragon's body, with a candle in its mouth. It was a thousand miles long. The most amazing thing was its pair of eyes, which were arranged vertically, extremely strange. It was completely black, but there was a red glow all over it. It was extremely strange.
"Bai Ze? It?"
"The divine beast Bai Ze, the king of all beasts and a symbol of good fortune in the world, how could it turn into this in an instant?"
Bai Ze roared. What came with it was no longer the first snow but huge fireballs. This was not the auspicious divine beast Bai Ze. This was the other side of Bai Ze - Zhuyin.
