Chapter 923 Survival in Desperate Situation
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
“I know I may have been too impatient lately. I was desperate to let you know I like you, desperate to make you like me… this might have troubled you.” Jialan lowered her head, her deep blue hanfu already stained with a large patch of blood, and she murmured,
“But… I really don’t have much time left.”
Lin Qiye frowned, before he could comprehend what Jialan meant, a thunderous sound rang in his ears!
Bang–!!
The [Immortal] flickering around the carriage had reached its limit. Under the piercing of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, it shattered into countless white lights and rolled back into Jialan’s body. At the same time, the terrifying aftershock instantly crushed the carriage, causing it to completely explode!
Lin Qiye quickly grabbed Jialan’s hand while drawing [Zhan Bai] half an inch from his waist!
Their figures simultaneously vanished into the void.
In the black and white world, Lin Qiye carried the extremely weakened Jialan on his back, rushing rapidly toward the Gateway of Summoning, but the Ame-no-Murakumo sword behind them seemed to have grown eyes, immediately turning its blade to strike at their location.
Although after being blocked by the immortal carriage, the Ame-no-Murakumo sword’s speed had decreased significantly, it was still far faster than Lin Qiye. The blade emanating a cold gleam pierced through the void, directly splitting a corner of the void where [Zhan Bai] existed.
Even the void could be cut by the Ame-no-Murakumo sword.
The surrounding void shattered, Lin Qiye’s face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and pushed his speed to the limit, rushing toward the Gateway of Summoning that was just within reach!
However, the distance between the Ame-no-Murakumo sword and him was still rapidly shrinking.
Almost there! Almost there!
Just a little more, and they would pass through that gate!
Feeling the killing intent from behind, Lin Qiye’s eyes turned red, and with determination rising in his heart, he swiftly pulled out a medal from his chest, flicked it lightly, and a silver needle sprung out.
He took a deep breath, just as he was about to inject the Ghost God Needle into his body, a hand reached out from behind and firmly grabbed his wrist.
“Qiye…”
From behind Lin Qiye came Jialan’s weak voice, she smiled slightly, “As long as I’m alive, you can’t die… you can’t ignore me in the future, and,
Next time,
I want to hear you say… that you like me.
Okay?”
Lin Qiye’s thoughts suddenly froze.
He opened his mouth wide, almost roaring in the fierce wind: “Jialan, what are you trying to do?!”
A gentle smile appeared on Jialan’s pale face.
She didn’t answer.
She just leaned close to Lin Qiye’s ear,
And playfully, yet weakly, made a sound:
“–Woof.”
Shattered white light from within Jialan’s body flowed into Lin Qiye’s back.
This was the remaining [Immortal] power that hadn’t had time to reorganize after the carriage shattered, perhaps less than a third of what it was before, but still possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Jialan had broken her promise.
Feeling the [Immortal] power contained within his body, a raging fire of anger rose in Lin Qiye’s heart. In his perception, that world-destroying Ame-no-Murakumo sword tore through the sky, its blade instantly reaching his back!
“You’ve got to be kidding?!” Lin Qiye roared furiously in the fierce wind, his eyes completely red.
Jialan had already given up [Immortal] once to save him, he absolutely couldn’t let this happen a second time.
He, Lin Qiye, was a man, the captain of the [Nightfall] team!
No matter what happened, he shouldn’t be the one protected by Jialan.
Without any hesitation, he reached back to grab Jialan’s wrist, pulled her from his back into his arms, using his body to shield hers, then forcefully kicked off from within the Gateway of Summoning!
His figure leaped upward!
At that moment, the peerless blade pierced his back, releasing terrifying destructive power!
The [Immortal] power Jialan had left in his body frantically resisted the Ame-no-Murakumo sword’s strike, but the already once-broken [Immortal] couldn’t completely block it. The blade still pierced through Lin Qiye’s back flesh, heading straight for his heart!
Lin Qiye endured the intense pain, let out a low roar, and his entire body’s spiritual power exploded, instantly spreading a golden domain with him at its center!
[Mortal Divine Domain]!
Since [Immortal] couldn’t stop the Ame-no-Murakumo sword’s strike, Lin Qiye’s only option left was a miracle…
He needed to create a miracle that would allow both of them to survive.
As Lin Qiye frantically poured in his spiritual power, the golden light of the domain around them grew increasingly brilliant. The blade that was about to pierce Lin Qiye’s heart slightly deviated under some mysterious force, grazing past his heart and penetrating through his chest!
The blade tip of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, stained with his blood, pierced into Jialan’s body. She let out a muffled groan, with traces of blood seeping from the corners of her pale lips.
This strike had also avoided Jialan’s vital points.
Only then did the kinetic energy contained in the Ame-no-Murakumo sword completely dissipate. With their bodies pierced through, Lin Qiye and Jialan floated out of the Gateway of Summoning’s gap under inertia, falling toward the misty sea outside.
Suddenly, as if some mysterious force was pulling the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, the blade slowly withdrew from Jialan and Lin Qiye’s bodies, attempting to fly back into Takamagahara.
As the blade left Lin Qiye’s body, large amounts of blood flowed down his skin. Lin Qiye’s eyes were blood-red as he stared fixedly at the blood-colored sky behind the Gateway of Summoning, endless resentment and rage surging in his heart!
With strength from who knows where, he let out a low roar and suddenly reached out his right hand, firmly grasping the hilt of the retreating Ame-no-Murakumo sword!
His crimson eyes flickered with mad light!
Want to use this sword to kill me?
Sorry, I survived.
Then… your sword won’t be going back either!
Seemingly sensing the resistance of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, Susanoo in the depths of Takamagahara was slightly stunned, then reached out his right hand and forcefully pulled through the air!
An incomparable force transmitted through the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, pulling Lin Qiye’s body rapidly toward the slowly closing gap of the Gateway of Summoning!
Unfortunately, its speed was still a step too slow.
With a deep rumbling boom, this Gateway of Summoning standing on the sea surface, reaching from earth to sky, completely closed, totally separating the outer world from the blood-colored world within, and that mysterious pulling force was cut off as well.
Lin Qiye’s right hand firmly gripped the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, his left arm holding the unconscious Jialan, as they fell from midair toward the surging sea.
