SQLJBFDTW Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Farewell, No Need to Cling

This tomb can suppress the power of demons, which is why Ziwei wants everything to end here.

Everything started with Lord Qishan and him, so they should end it themselves.

At that time, the demonic energy at Fumo Pass was attracted, running rampant at the exit.

Qi Wu became demonized and stole Ying Xiange’s corpse when he escaped from Dream Butterfly Manor, pursued by a group of powerful figures to the entrance of Fumo Pass.

“We can’t let him in!” The Wuwu Sect Leader at the time, Lord Mu Yuan’s master, Bao Yun Zhenjun, urgently ordered everyone to stop the demonized Qi Wu, “Once he gets in alive, he will absorb all the ancient demonic energy inside. We won’t be able to contend with him then!”

Among the pursuing cultivators, Lord Qishan was anxious and at the forefront. Lord Mu Yuan caught up and asked, “Senior brother! What exactly happened at Dream Butterfly Manor! What’s wrong with you! Why haven’t you said a word!”

Lord Qishan didn’t answer, his whole body tense and pale. Lord Mu Yuan had never seen him look like this. Just as he was about to ask again, Lord Qishan forcibly activated his natal true essence, chasing even faster.

Just as Qi Wu’s shadow was about to fall into Fumo Pass, Bao Yun Zhenjun used a sword array to stop him one step away, and Lord Qishan caught up head-on.

He saw Ying Xiange in Qi Wu’s arms, her arm that should have been holding a sword drooping limply, lifeless.

Qi Wu, who was holding her, had no clarity in his eyes, deeply demonized and beyond redemption.

“Let her go!” Lord Qishan roared, drawing his sword.

He was furious, each strike carrying immense anger.

But he was angry at himself because he knew that he, Lord Qishan, was the one who deserved to die. If it hadn’t been for his momentary lapse in judgment, things wouldn’t have reached this point. Everything was irreversible from the moment he accidentally killed the envoy sent by Qi Wu.

He knew he was despicable, and with every sword strike, he wanted to strike himself.

“Senior brother!” Lord Mu Yuan’s worried voice came from behind.

As fellow disciples, they were naturally very familiar with his swordsmanship. Lord Mu Yuan could see that he was using his spiritual energy excessively, each strike pushing himself to his limit, no different from self-destruction.

Therefore, the sword wind he unleashed made it difficult for others to approach.

Finally, Qi Wu was injured by his sword and fell from mid-air.

Lord Qishan flew to catch Ying Xiange, but also spat out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of spiritual energy.

The blood splattered onto Ying Xiange’s snow-white face, and he painfully wiped it away with his hand. Suddenly, Ying Xiange’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Lord Qishan was overjoyed and held her, “You’re not dead! That’s great! Xiange–Xiange!”

It turned out that Qi Wu had held back in his attack at Dream Butterfly Manor and hadn’t killed Ying Xiange.

Even so, Ying Xiange’s face was pale to a frightening degree. Lord Qishan quickly realized something was wrong.

“Xiange, how are you! Where does it hurt?”

Ying Xiange’s lips trembled, and she suddenly raised her hand, lifting a round object from within her body.

Lord Qishan was stunned until she forcefully placed it in his hand, and he felt that this object contained life, the faint beating of a heart, pulsating within the membrane.

“You…” Lord Qishan couldn’t believe it, and the warmth in his palm was disappearing at an alarming rate.

Ying Xiange used her last bit of strength to say to him, “Lord Qishan, please help me take care of this child… Tell it, no matter what happens, always move forward…”

But.

But it was a half-demon…

Lord Qishan’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t bring himself to say those words, only nodding repeatedly and saying, “I promise you.”

He watched as Ying Xiange’s life completely dissipated between heaven and earth, and his heart died with it. But his gaze returned to the faint life in his hand, like a continuation from one to the other.

Lord Qishan stood up, carefully putting it away.

Qi Wu, who should have fallen to the ground, let out a shrill wail at this moment.

He rushed over, knocking Lord Qishan away, and held Ying Xiange in his arms again, his painful cries echoing at the entrance of Fumo Pass.

Lord Qishan wanted to fight him for her, but he saw a trace of relief on Ying Xiange’s face.

It is said that when a person dies, their hearing is the last sense to leave. Could she have heard Qi Wu’s cries… Did she still love him?

Qi Wu raised his face and said to Lord Qishan, “Kill me quickly!”

His eyes regained a moment of clarity, but demonic energy was struggling within them. Lord Qishan hesitated to grip his sword.

Qi Wu endured the pain of fighting for control with the demonic energy and roared at him, “Hurry up and do it! I’m already demonized!”

Lord Qishan no longer hesitated, striking his Zifu dantian with his sword.

Qi Wu breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes contentedly.

After his body died, it was no longer useful to the demon. The great demon within him rose up in anger, heading straight for Lord Qishan. Just then, Bao Yun Zhenjun and a group of cultivators rushed in, joining forces to resist the great demon, sealing it on the spot and driving it back into Fumo Pass.

Looking further ahead, Qi Wu and Ying Xiange’s bodies had already disappeared into the pass. Lord Qishan could no longer control himself and broke down crying.

–

The great demon unwillingly said, “Why! Is your mind truly so strong? Even at this point, you can still resist me?”

Lord Qishan was covered in blood, cut by countless wounds from his own bursting spiritual energy.

“Because I don’t need you,” he said to the great demon, “I will bear my own sins, so I don’t need you.”

“Then what about you!” The great demon turned to attack Lord Shen Du, “You went to the trouble of changing from a demon to a human, don’t you hate it? Where there is hate, there is a place for me to dwell!”

Lord Shen Du sneered in disdain, “Of course I hate it, so I will end everything myself, without your participation.”

The great demon couldn’t understand why the people in front of it were so invulnerable, even though they had been fighting fiercely just moments ago.

It turned its target to the silent, jade-white figure, as if discovering a source of life, excitedly saying, “What about you? What are you afraid of…”

Yu Wei frowned, and Chao Jianxue blocked in front of him, coldly snorting, “With me here, he won’t be afraid of anything! Die!”

“Little kid, get out of the way!” Lord Shen Du said, chanting a spell and making a move, fixing the great demon in place.

Chao Jianxue wanted to say that he wasn’t a kid, although he was indeed a junior to Lord Shen Du.

Lord Qishan also attacked with his sword, and the powerful sword array closed. Chao Jianxue saw this and remembered the spell he had told him to look at carefully before.

He wanted to try it.

He had never killed a demon with Lord Qishan before.

When he was a teenager, Chao Jianxue heard that some disciples had encountered Lord Qishan on the road and helped the Lord to slay a demon. He was very envious.

At that time, he thought he was very poor at cultivation and could never imagine that he could really fight alongside him.

Above the sword array, a new sword array was added.

Lord Qishan was stunned, then revealed a gratified smile.

“No!” “Mo Tanzhou” resisted forcefully, and seeing that the sword array was about to fall and kill it, it rushed out of Mo Tanzhou’s body, fleeing straight out. But the two great sword arrays followed closely behind. A burst of white light burst, and the great demon continued to howl within.

Chao Jianxue said to Yu Wei, “Help me!”

Yu Wei didn’t hesitate. The Yu Wei Sword opened the array, and the blue spiritual lotus bloomed instantly, pressing down on the sword array with all its might.

Finally, a cracking sound came from the sky, the wail of the great demon being completely annihilated.

Lord Qishan’s sword fell to the ground, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Chao Jianxue rushed forward anxiously but was stopped by him.

Lord Qishan said, “I am willing to die.”

Lord Shen Du approached with her sword.

The great demon had been eliminated, and everything was developing as she had hoped. She thought killing Lord Qishan would bring the pleasure of revenge, but now, she held the sword against Lord Qishan’s neck, but she didn’t feel anything.

It was empty. The wind here had also stopped. Qi Wu’s bones cast a dark shadow.

Watching Lord Qishan close his eyes in relief, she didn’t feel any joy at all.

She was too tired. They were all too tired.

Chao Jianxue wanted to say something to dissuade her, but he couldn’t say anything. Yu Wei took his hand and felt that it was icy cold.

At this moment, movement came from behind them.

Mo Tanzhou woke up, his breath also fading.

The body that had been occupied by the great demon was already torn apart. Using even a little bit of spiritual energy would really tear it open.

But he stubbornly held on to his last breath, crawling to Mo Zezhi’s corpse.

He strangled Mo Zezhi’s neck with both hands, even though the other party couldn’t feel any pain, he still used a lot of force, laughing and crying, “Brother… Brother, even in death, you can’t get rid of me…”

Yu Wei walked in front of him.

Mo Tanzhou lost his strength, collapsing on Mo Zezhi, murmuring, “Lord Yu, do you know what it feels like to be weak?”

Yu Wei gave him a cold look.

“Do you know what it feels like to hate someone but still want to keep them? I can’t get anything, even getting his body is fine… He used to humiliate me like that, but I’m still like this. I’m really crazy.”

“I put so much effort into it just because I’m an illegitimate child. Everything he can get so easily is what I long for but can’t reach. What if I make the Tianyao Sect the number one immortal sect? The sect leader still cares more about his Zezhi… Hahaha… He ruined me, so I’m going to ruin him!”

“I know,” Yu Wei suddenly said.

Mo Tanzhou closed his mouth, his eyes empty, not knowing what he meant.

Yu Wei lowered his eyes, his gaze like icicles immersed in water, coldly raising his sword, “I know what it’s like to have hatred in your heart, to want to keep someone. But I know better than you how to love, to believe, to embrace.”

The sword tip fell, and Mo Tanzhou’s pupils shrank.

“Ha…” He released the hand strangling Mo Zezhi, but only for a moment. He immediately strangled him tightly again, distortedly saying, “He can’t get rid of me…”

Such deep obsession would not end even in death.

Yu Wei drew his sword, and spiritual light overflowed.

Mo Tanzhou’s vitality finally ended, collapsing on Mo Zezhi.

The two bodies, riddled with demonic energy, also turned into black gas, dissipating under the sky.

Yu Wei had helped them get rid of their pain as soon as possible.

On the other side, Lord Shen Du’s sword was slow to fall. Lord Qishan was still quietly waiting for death. Chao Jianxue couldn’t help but step forward, “Lord…”

“Shut up!” Lord Shen Du said irritably, “I can’t find the feeling!”

“Why don’t we go out first, Lord!” Chao Jianxue pleaded.

She said, “Who said I wanted to go out? The thing I want to accomplish is only the last sword strike. Besides this, I have no worries. I want to stay here and guard the tomb!”

Chao Jianxue persuaded her, “What about the Huan Yao Sect if you stay?”

Lord Shen Du was stunned, then showed anger again, scolding, “Why are you like Qi Wu, thinking of everything!”

Chao Jianxue said aggrievedly, “Lord is completely different from before.” In his impression, Lord Shen Du was gentle and powerful, not irritable at all.

Her true face was hidden so deep.

Lord Shen Du was silent for a moment, then said, “Do you know the highest level of disguise? It’s to change your personality as well, naturally you will be completely different.”

“Then Lord should think more about the Huan Yao Sect. How can you say you have no worries? A gentle and beautiful master suddenly disappears, what will the Huan Yao Sect disciples do? What will Hua Ze do? He will definitely be very sad!”

Lord Shen Du said expressionlessly, “Hua Ze is me.”

“…”

Chao Jianxue found it very difficult to combine the two. With this said, many previous coincidences became completely reasonable!

“You…” Lord Qishan, who had been ignored for a long time, raised his head and said, “Hurry up and do it.”

“Don’t talk!” Chao Jianxue glared at him. He was saving him.

“Shut up!” Lord Shen Du turned her head fiercely.

The two spoke in unison, and Lord Qishan was stunned. The corners of his lips actually curved up in a helpless arc.

Lord Shen Du, or rather Xu Wei, ground her teeth irritably, instead revealing the nature of a demon.

After all, Chao Jianxue was Qi Wu’s child.

She finally softened, looking at Chao Jianxue’s face, and said to Lord Qishan, “No, I suddenly feel that since you are so eager to die, then I just don’t want you to die now. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be playing into your hands?”

Seeing Chao Jianxue’s happy expression, she said, “Don’t be so smug, kid.”

Just before leaving, she wanted Lord Qishan to kowtow to Qi Wu and Ying Xiange.

Chao Jianxue also bowed several times, blood related, beyond words.

When bowing the second time, Yu Wei knelt down beside him. Chao Jianxue understood his heart and said silently in his heart to Qi Wu and Ying Xiange: This is my Dao companion.

Xu Wei opened the exit, and the few people who didn’t belong here uncontrollably took off, flying towards the light spots.

However, halfway through, the silent Lord Qishan suddenly stopped.

Chao Jianxue looked back in shock. Lord Qishan fell from the sky, like a bird willingly breaking its wings, his expression calm and expectant, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Xu Wei understood the situation and said angrily, “Don’t chase him. He has already broken all the meridians in his body. If I had known this, I would have killed him.”

Chao Jianxue subconsciously reached out reluctantly, but a gentle breeze brought him up, pushing him into Yu Wei’s arms. Was it his parents?

Yu Wei put his arm around him and said in his ear, “This is what Zhenjun wanted.”

“I know,” Chao Jianxue said blankly.

He had lost another relative, even though he had saved him from Lord Shen Du, he still chose to end his life here. Therefore, Chao Jianxue felt lost.

But he vaguely realized that this was inevitable. Lord Qishan was destined to stay here. This was the sin he had to atone for.

The long wind blew, and the dark sword tassel flew out of the skeleton’s embrace, passing over Lord Qishan’s shrinking figure, flying to Chao Jianxue. He hooked his hand.

The tassel wrapped around his wrist, as if reluctant to say goodbye, but in the end, it fluttered into the distant twilight.

It was a farewell.

Chao Jianxue no longer clung to it.
