"The demonized are attacking! Hurry and provide support!"
Outside the Nine Star Divine Palace, soldiers fled in panic, and the surveillance on Baili Xiao disappeared in an instant.
"Divine Lord! The demonized are coming! Let's escape!"
Wusi's eyes welled up with tears, her plea evident: "The Divine Emperor can't hold them off..."
"Wusi... you go..."
Baili Xiao looked up and walked straight out: "I won't abandon Ranran, I won't leave her behind..."
The demonized were already extremely difficult to kill. After possessing Bai Ran's body, they could even resurrect the dead, coupled with the terrifying power of the Nine Calamities...
No matter how many powerful individuals existed in this world, they ultimately couldn't withstand this formidable slaughter.
Baili Xiao had no intention of returning alive from this endeavor...
"Jiang Ye!!!"
Zhu Que tripped over the corpses on the ground and fell heavily in front of Jiang Ye. She dragged her battered body, crawling inch by inch towards the man before her.
"Run! Don't mind me!!!!"
Jiang Ye used his sword to prop himself up. Bites and scratches of all sizes pierced his body.
Bright red blood dripped continuously, splashing onto the ground, splashing into Zhu Que's heart.
"Cough... I said... I would protect you..."
He wiped the blood from his face and turned to Zhu Que with a smile, "I will..."
Jiang Ye resolutely stood in front of Zhu Que, blocking the attacking demonized from all sides...
"No!!! No—!!!"
Zhu Que's pupils constricted as she saw an arm of a demonized human emerge from Jiang Ye's chest, piercing his heart.
"Jiang Ye... please... please run..."
Who asked you to protect me... you fool...
Zhu Que cried uncontrollably, watching helplessly as Jiang Ye's body swayed and fell to the ground.
"Don't... cry..." He slowly crawled towards Zhu Que, his robes already soaked in blood.
"Don't cry... ah..."
Zhu Que trembled with despair, clutching Jiang Ye's increasingly cold body tightly. "You fool! You brute! You are not allowed to leave me! Do you hear me!!!"
"Okay... never... leave..."
"Thud—" Jiang Ye's hand fell heavily, his breath gone.
"Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye, wake up!!! Please..."
A piece of paper fell, crumpled in her hand, with a line of words written crookedly.
Little Pig, your name is actually very cute...
Zhu Que tightly hugged Jiang Ye's body and let out a mournful cry...
...
"Pfft—" Bai Hu's body was pierced by sharp claws, and demonized figures swarmed him, surrounding him.
"Bai Hu! Hold on!!!" Xuan Wu immediately erected a defensive barrier, repelling the demonized.
Bai Hu sweated profusely from the pain, clutching the wound on his abdomen and forcing a wry smile, "It seems... death is upon me..."
"Damn it!" Tang Yi cursed. These demonized were endless; even if killed, they could revive!
The former madam couldn't summon so many living dead. Was it the inner demon's own strength...?
That's right, a demonized being capable of being a king... must be extremely powerful...
Jing Feng's heart skipped a beat as he watched Jing Yun roar, "Watch your back!!!"
The next moment, blood splattered everywhere, scalding blood drenching the ground. Jing Yun smiled bitterly, his body crashing down heavily.
"Careless..."
Ignoring the sharp pain from his wounds, Jing Feng rushed towards Jing Yun. "I still have a few pills! Eat them quickly!!!"
Jing Yun chuckled and slowly pushed his hand away, "I'm saving them for you to protect yourself..."
Jing Feng's eyes welled up, his hands trembling, "Eat them quickly... I have plenty more..."
"Jing Feng... you lied to me again..."
...
High in the sky, Bai Ran's blood-red eyes gazed down at the scene that resembled hell.
"Isn't it beautiful, don't you think?" She looked at the man in black before her and smiled.
Long Jinhan's eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot. "Stop it..."
"Stop?" Bai Ran seemed to hear something amusing and snorted, "Why? Do you really think I'm still that girl of yours?"
She circled Long Jinhan's shoulder with her slender arm, her fingertips tracing his cheek. "Beg me."
"Just say the word, and I'll stop."
Her playful words, toying with hearts, this was Bai Ran's inner demon...
But just as Long Jinhan's lips trembled, about to speak, a finger pressed against them.
"This is rather boring. Why don't we change the game?"
Saying this, Bai Ran pointed to the demon soldiers on the ground. "For every ten thousand I kill, I'll halt the slaughter of one plane."
A smile played on her lips, her eyes filled with an excited curiosity.
Long Jinhan's veins bulged on the back of his hand, his eyes filled with despair.
...
"Father, take care of yourself."
A figure turned and left. The middle-aged man stood not far behind him, his hunched form looking utterly sorrowful.
It had come to this...
The middle-aged man looked at the sky stained red with blood, hot tears rolling down his cheeks, "You brat, making me send off my son before me..."
The receding figure gradually became clearer, his silver hair stirred by the breeze, a faint smile on his lips.
The figure walked out of the forest and headed straight for the battlefield.
The wails and cries of those passing by seemed like fleeting smoke.
So this was how it felt before death... so peaceful...
She raised her head and looked at the two figures high above, a smile appearing. "Oh well, ever since I started staying by her side, there was no turning back."
Azure spiritual energy converged, slowly forming a handsome man with blue hair, who walked to his side.
"Azure Dragon, I'll leave what comes next to you..."
The blue-haired man's expression was somber. He clenched his fist and nodded, "Leave it to me."
Hearing this, the figure raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to ask for a suitable price?"
Azure Dragon lowered his head, his eyes filled with pain. "I am hers. Helping you is helping me."
"Helping me requires no price at all."
The figure gave a bitter smile, his form so frail it seemed it would shatter with a touch. "Erase my memories. She doesn't need to remember."
His inaction in preventing this great battle was also partly his fault.
Therefore, using his death to salvage everything was enough.
"Hey! You woman up there!" a clear voice called out. High in the sky, Bai Ran looked up.
At the same time, Long Jinhan noticed the person below. Who was he...?
"I'll curse you a few more times while I'm alive! You won't have the chance later."
