Chapter 157 Remember this feeling
"Danfeng!"
Jing Yuan, with all his might, held down the frenzied Ying Xing and roared at Dan Feng, "Stop standing there! Think of something!"
"There's no other way..."
Danfeng collapsed to his knees, utterly dejected, and said, "The power of abundance has penetrated deep into Yingxing's flesh and blood, and the curse has even eroded his soul."
"Because of the abundant power within him and the curse, he has become immortal..."
"There's... no other way."
Is there no other way?
Jing Yuan felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
Why...
Why exactly...?
The battle with the fleeting one, the battle with the evil dragon.
They won.
They clearly won.
But why...?
The general died in battle, Bai Heng vanished into thin air, Jing Liu became a demon, and Lu Li died and his cultivation vanished.
At last.
Even Yingxing is about to become an immortal monster that only knows how to kill and destroy.
Heh... Victory?
What kind of victory is this?!
Jing Yuan suppressed the madness of Ying Xing, his chest heaving violently.
However, he also knew that anger would not solve the immediate problem.
But... what should he do?
Watching Yingxing scream in agony, his eyes bloodshot, even his silver-white hair gradually turning into an eerie dark blue.
Among the Five Valiant Warriors, he was known for his deep thinking and foresight, but for the first time, he felt at a loss.
Just then.
A cold, emotionless voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Jingyuan, step down."
Jingyuan and Danfeng turned around abruptly and found that Jingliu had already walked over at some point.
She held the broken "Zhi Li" sword in her hand and carried Lu Li's black knife on her back, walking step by step towards them... no.
To be precise, it is walking towards Yingxing.
Her steps were steady, and her eyes were calm, just as usual.
It was as if the person who had just broken down and cried because of Lu Li's "death" was not her.
But it was precisely this deathly stillness that sent chills down Jingyuan and Danfeng's spines.
"Master..." she thought of Lu Li's death.
Seeing that Jingliu's target seemed to be Yingxing, Jingyuan subconsciously stood in front of Yingxing.
Jing Liu stopped and looked at Jing Yuan, his tone unreadable: "Do you want Ying Xing to die?"
Jing Yuan was taken aback, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood.
Yes.
Unless it's a special situation like the one just now where someone is trapped in a demonic aura, Master wouldn't kill his companions.
But what Master meant just now... could it be that she has a way to save Yingxing?
After a brief hesitation, Jingyuan chose to trust Jingliu and stepped aside.
The main problem is... he really had no other choice.
If we drag this out any longer...
Yingxing will truly become an immortal monster, one that only knows how to kill and destroy.
I have no choice but to trust my master.
Under Jing Yuan's anxious gaze, Jing Liu stopped in front of Ying Xing.
She looked down at Ying Xing, who was clutching his head and screaming in pain on the ground.
"Yingxing".
Upon hearing Jing Liu's voice, Ying Xing, who was still screaming in pain, suddenly trembled.
"I know your consciousness hasn't been completely swallowed up yet."
Jingliu's voice remained completely flat.
"Bai Heng is dead, and Lu Li is dead too."
"Now, you want to escape by dying?"
"You... coward."
coward?
Ying Xing stood up, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage.
"I...am not a coward!"
Looking at Ying Xing roaring at him, Jing Liu didn't even flinch.
She just watched him quietly.
Then... he threw the severed pieces of his hand in front of him.
"Okay, then prove it to me."
"Pick it up, and then..."
An ice sword rapidly condensed in Jing Liu's hand, its tip pointing at Ying Xing.
"Kill me."
Yingxing, whose consciousness was about to be devoured, was completely unable to comprehend why Jingliu said that.
The instant the command was heard.
Driven solely by his brutal instincts, he grabbed the broken sword from the ground and lunged at Jingliu.
then……
A white shadow flashed before my eyes.
next second.
"Pfft—!"
Accompanied by the soft sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.
Jingliu's ice sword pierced Yingxing's heart with perfect accuracy.
aside.
Danfeng and Jingyuan were stunned when they saw this.
Danfeng realized what was happening and immediately tried to step forward to stop the two.
But the next moment, a hand gripped his shoulder tightly.
It is Jingyuan.
Seeing Danfeng's puzzled expression, Jingyuan simply said...
"I believe in Master... I believe in Mirror Stream."
He had already realized what Jingliu was trying to do.
He didn't know if this was truly the only way to save Yingxing, or if it was Lu Li's instruction to Jingliu before he dissipated.
Or perhaps it was because of Lu Li's disappearance that Jing Liu felt remorse towards Ying Xing and the others who caused all of this...
But in any case.
This is something only Kagami-ryu could do.
And all they can do is bear witness.
Why...
Jing Yuan looked down at his hands and clenched them tightly through gritted teeth.
Whether it's a fleeting moment, a wicked dragon, a mirror stream trapped in demonic darkness, or even the present moment.
Why... is he always so powerless?
the other side.
Ying Xing, who had been pierced through the heart by a sword, froze completely.
He looked down at the sword in his chest, then at Jingliu in front of him.
"Why...?"
A hoarse and unfamiliar voice squeezed out of his throat.
Jingliu did not answer.
She simply looked at him quietly, her eyes cold.
Yingxing's body began to tremble violently.
The crimson lines on his body seemed to come alive, rushing wildly towards the wound in an attempt to repair it.
But the ice sword still retains the purest and coldest sword intent of Mirror Flow.
That sword intent clung to the wound like a maggot, preventing the abundant power from repairing it.
"Ugh... Ahhhhh!"
Tormented by both the revival of abundance and the strangulation of sword intent, Yingxing let out a soul-rending scream.
His consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
"It's painful, isn't it?"
Jingliu's voice finally showed a slight fluctuation.
"Then remember this feeling."
"Remember... the feeling of death."
With a "whoosh" sound.
Without hesitation, she drew her ice sword, drawing a long trail of scalding blood.
Yingxing's body went limp and collapsed instantly, his life force rapidly fading away.
However, just as he was about to die completely...
A tremendous, abundant power erupted from his body, forcefully pulling him back from the brink of death.
The bloody hole in his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, he stood up again, completely unharmed.
However, his bloodshot eyes now held a hint of confusion and fear.
He looked at his unharmed body, then at Jing Liu in front of him.
They seemed somewhat unable to understand what had just happened.
"It seems that once is not enough."
Jingliu showed no surprise and raised his ice sword once more.
"Then... let's do it one more time."
next moment.
The ice sword rapidly magnified in Ying Xing's suddenly contracted pupils.
……
Beyond the sky.
I witnessed Jingliu brutally killing Yingxing.
The netizens who were just wiping away tears of sadness were all jolted awake by the shock.
[Holy crap! What's going on? What is Jingliu doing?]
[Uh, she wouldn't kill Ying Xing to vent her anger because Lu Li died, would she?]
[Uh, I don't think so..., right? Although she killed Ying Xing, Ying Xing seems to have immediately revived.]
[Immortality... Is this the curse of abundance and fleeting moments? That's too twisted!]
I think I understand what Kagami is trying to do...
[Using repeated deaths to stimulate Yingxing's memories, so that he doesn't forget who he is?]
This is...too cruel!
【What else can we do? If we don't do this, Yingxing won't even be able to retain the last shred of humanity. He will be completely devoured by the will of abundance and fleeting moments, turning into a monster who only knows how to kill.】
[Kyo-ryu...she's saving him.]
[In the most painful and extreme way.]
On the live chat, everyone was shocked by Jingliu's ruthless and decisive methods.
They could not imagine the pain of killing their best friend with their own hands time and time again.
But they also understand.
This is the only option to save Yingxing.
