Chapter 922 Immortality and the Sword of Kusanagi
The moment he saw that flash of sword light, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted.
As the Kusanagi Sword rapidly approached, an unprecedented sense of mortal danger surged in his heart.
Even though they were less than a kilometer away from the Gateway Portal, even though that ancient and massive gate had already opened a crack… there wasn’t the slightest joy in Lin Qiye’s heart.
Because the Kusanagi Sword was faster than them!
At this rate, before the carriage could leave Takamagahara, that sword would turn them all into a bloody mist first.
Seeming to sense the approaching danger, the ghost white horses pulling the carriage slightly deviated from their original path, trying to avoid the sword’s trajectory. But the moment they turned, the Kusanagi Sword behind them also adjusted its blade, as if it had firmly locked onto them!
At this moment, Lin Qiye could clearly sense that the Kusanagi Sword wasn’t targeting the carriage… but them inside it.
Lin Qiye’s heart immediately sank. In that split second, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still couldn’t think of a way to break this deadlock.
Just then, Jialan’s hand gently pulled away from his.
Lin Qiye was stunned.
His expression suddenly changed as if he had realized something.
“Jialan! What are you trying to do?!”
Jialan smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I promised you I wouldn’t randomly transfer [Immortality] to you… I don’t want to be an untrustworthy puppy.”
She placed both hands on the carriage compartment beneath her, and a white light flowed into the carriage. [Immortality] had been transferred to the surface of the compartment.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the current situation, transferring [Immortality] to the carriage compartment was indeed the best choice, as it could protect both of them simultaneously.
The moment [Immortality] covered the carriage, the Kusanagi Sword flashed across several kilometers, its blade carrying terrifying killing intent and momentum, precisely piercing the surface of the compartment. The thunderous sonic boom almost deafened Lin Qiye!
The power bestowed upon the Kusanagi Sword was too terrifying. In that instant, the entire carriage violently shook. The ghost white horses pulling the compartment were directly annihilated by the Kusanagi Sword’s aftershock, dissipating into the air.
At the same time, the carriage’s wheel hubs, railings, and the base supporting the compartment were instantly pulverized. The silver compartment crashed heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
The “sword” that could cleave through all things and the “shield” that could block almost everything clashed head-on at this moment.
Under the piercing sound of metal clashing, the Kusanagi Sword’s blade fiercely collided with [Immortality] on the compartment’s surface. Visible shock waves whirled the dust everywhere, the ground beneath the compartment cracked inch by inch, instantly creating a giant crater with a radius of three kilometers!
Lin Qiye stood inside the compartment, barely maintaining his balance, while Jialan’s expression was extremely grave beside him.
Click!
An extremely faint breaking sound emerged.
The Kusanagi Sword’s blade had penetrated half an inch into the compartment, and spider web-like cracks slowly spread from that fine gap…
Although the gap was small, it indicated that the power of [Immortality] covering the compartment had reached its limit.
Sensing this scene, Lin Qiye’s expression became increasingly grave. He frowned as he watched the blade slowly piercing the compartment’s inner wall, and only now did he truly realize… Jialan’s [Immortality] wasn’t omnipotent.
Even Jialan could be injured before this supreme weapon of Takamagahara.
Inside the compartment, a trace of blood seeped from Jialan’s lips, gently dripping onto her deep blue hanfu, spreading layers of red.
Her face was as pale as paper.
“Jialan, are you alright?” Lin Qiye’s eyes were full of concern.
“…Mm, I’m fine.” Jialan’s gaze fixed on the Kusanagi Sword filled with killing intent, she bit her lips, then turned to look at Lin Qiye beside her.
In the compartment, only the sword’s hum and the slow cracking sound of the compartment’s interior remained. She just looked at his face like this, and after a moment, a bright smile appeared on her pale lips.
“What is it?” Lin Qiye was slightly startled seeing this smile.
“I suddenly thought of something happy.” Jialan’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled at Lin Qiye. “Just now, Uncle Merlin told me that you said you liked me…”
Lin Qiye was stunned. He hadn’t expected Jialan to bring this up at such a moment, and his expression became somewhat awkward.
“…I did say that, but…”
Creak!
Under the Kusanagi Sword’s continuous penetration, the blade was about to pierce through the compartment’s inner wall. The white light outside the compartment flickered slightly, seeming to grow increasingly dim. The compartment’s structure was compressed by an invisible force, emitting a low humming sound.
“But you’re worried it was the effect of Cupid’s Arrow?” Jialan finished Lin Qiye’s sentence.
“Yes.”
“…Idiot.”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
“Did you really think I would use such means to force you to like me?” Jialan looked at his eyes reproachfully. “[False Love] is called false love because all the feelings it brings are fake… I, Jialan, don’t need such things!
Think carefully, after being pierced by that arrow, did you really develop any romantic feelings for me?”
Looking at Jialan’s gaze, Lin Qiye fell into confusion.
He suddenly recalled the day when he had just returned to Beijing City and visited Squad 006’s station. They had gone to the squad’s training ground and seen two grown men embracing each other intimately…
Under Li Zhenzhen’s Love God’s Arrow, even two burly men would be affected by [False Love] and perform those eye-searing actions, proving how powerful the Love God’s Arrow was!
But why did he feel nothing after being pierced by Jialan?
Even after that, his most intimate contact with Jialan was just touching hands.
In his mind, the scene of Jialan holding the Love God’s Arrow in the training camp instructor’s dormitory reappeared, piercing his chest amidst flying wood chips… her face full of shyness and determination.
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something and asked in shock, “That arrow was fake?”
“That arrow didn’t have any of Zhenzhen’s spiritual power in it at all.” Jialan spoke somewhat aggrievedly. “If it had been a real Love God’s Arrow, we probably would have had children by now, you idiot!”
“Then why did I…” Lin Qiye’s words stopped halfway, as if he had realized something.
Jialan’s lips pursed slightly, her cheeks flushing red. She turned her head to the side and said softly, “If I hadn’t taken the initiative to pierce you with that arrow, when would your wooden brain ever realize…
That I like you?”
