Chapter 120 - Death and Shattered Dreams

  "Ugh!"

  Liu Erlong couldn't help but groan in pain.

  Her forward-rushing body immediately stopped in place.

  Her reddened eyes widened,

  and she trembled as she lowered her head, staring in disbelief at the black longsword piercing her abdomen. Bibi Dong

  , one of the Spirit Hall members of this world

  , was equally astonished, stopping in her tracks and watching this scene with puzzled expressions.

  Flander was even more furious.

  "You bastard..."

  "No!"

  Liu Erlong cried out.

  She raised her hands, stopping Flander behind her who was about to attack Qian Renjue. Her head

  was lowered, her breathing rapid, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

  "A-Jue, why...why is this?"

  Liu Erlong raised her head in confusion.

  Her eyes were filled with tears, but she stared intently at Qian Renjue's blood-red eyes

  without any intention of blaming him.

  She knew that Qian Renjue would become cold-blooded and ruthless after using his spirit.

  Having experienced it firsthand,

  she never wanted to feel that coldness again.

  Therefore, while traveling the continent, she concealed her fiery temper, trying her best not to cause trouble for Qian Renjue.

  Although there were always times when she had no choice

  , this was the first time in all these years and so many adventures that Qian Renjue had hurt her like this.

  "Why?"

  Qian Renjue's thin lips were bloodless, and his face was deathly pale.

  He glanced at the bloodstains on Liu Erlong's body, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

  "Have you forgotten our agreement?!"

  Before he finished speaking,

  Liu Erlong looked at the bloodstains on her body, and panic immediately appeared on her face.

  How could she forget?! That was   the condition, or rather, the agreement, that Qian Renjue agreed to let her stay by his side

  after she begged him !   That was also the warning he often mentioned!   If she broke it ,   he would kill her with his own hands!   Liu Erlong's face was pale, and she had no time to care about the pain in her wounds. She   only cared about explaining to Qian Renjue.   Shaking her head repeatedly, she cried,   "A-Jue, I... I didn't forget! I just wanted to save you."   "That's no excuse!"   Qian Renjue's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.   "But... but I just wanted to save you..."   A sob escaped her lips.   Liu Erlong couldn't understand. Overwhelmed with grievance and sorrow, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.   She didn't understand .   Even if Qian Renjue's parents were truly from the Spirit Hall,   the Spirit Hall now wanted to kill him.   Was it wrong for her to kill a few members of the Spirit Hall just to save him?   "So, would you do the same to save them?!"   Qian Renjue's voice was utterly calm.   His blood-red eyes turned to the two youths behind Liu Erlong .   "What do you mean by that?!"   Yu Xiaogang frowned, exchanging bewildered glances with Flander.   Qian Renjue didn't bother to look at the dead man,   only staring at Liu Erlong.   "Them?!"   Liu Erlong's tears faltered.   Somewhat panicked, she didn't know how to answer, stammering,   "A-Jue, I...I..."   "So this agreement was a joke, wasn't it?! You've been lying to me from the beginning."   Qian Renjue's lips curled into a sneer.   Although his martial soul made him cold and ruthless,   it also made him more aware   that this was just a dream!   In just a few months away from him,   Liu Erlong was able to gather the Golden Iron Triangle to save him.   So, after the dream ended,   would Liu Erlong also turn against him and the Spirit Hall to save them?!   The answer seemed clear.   The warnings he had kept on his lips for years, and the agreement with her,   were all jokes!   When reality came, if she continued like this, turning against the Spirit Hall and   forgetting him would only make her more cruel than she was now!   "No! No, no, I didn't lie to you...Ah—!"   Liu Erlong explained anxiously, but before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but scream.   *Swoosh!   * Qian Renjue, expressionless,   pushed the entire longsword forward, piercing through Liu Erlong's abdomen.   Their bodies were almost touching.   "Erlong!"   Flander and Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in shock.   "Uh,"   Liu Erlong groaned. She   excitedly grabbed Qian Renjue's clothes and pressed herself against his cold body.   It was a rare moment of intimacy.   But Liu Erlong felt no joy whatsoever.   

  The wound, chilled to the bone, was dry, yet her heart bled profusely. Leaning

  against Qian Renjue's shoulder, she sobbed softly.

  "A-Jue, I...I'm sorry, I won't do it again, never again."

  "Heh,"

  Qian Renjue chuckled coldly, blood beginning to trickle from his frozen wound.

  A familiar, sacred aura was rapidly approaching.

  He was surrounded.

  Qian Renjue knew.

  This dream had to end, this absurd, incomplete world had to shatter.

  Pressing his face against Liu Erlong's blood-stained cheek,

  Qian Renjue inhaled her faint fragrance, his heart unmoved, uttering his final whisper.

  "Liu Erlong, I'm warning you again, when you go back..."

  "Don't try to oppose the Spirit Hall. If you can't even manage the simplest act of obedience, you will truly die!"

  "Be killed by me. Without the slightest hesitation!"

  Liu Erlong gently wrapped her arms around Qian Renjue. She had only thought that after being forgiven

  and escaping, they could return to what they were before.

  Seemingly overjoyed, she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  "A-Jue, I...I understand, I'll remember!"

  "I will forget you after we go back!"

  Qian Renjue frowned and said coldly.

  "A-Jue, what...what does this mean? No, no, don't do this...ah—!"

  Amidst Liu Erlong's cries of pain,

  Qian Renjue pushed her away without hesitation and drew his long sword.

  Thump.

  Liu Erlong staggered and knelt on the ground, clutching her abdomen and shaking her head.

  "No...I don't want this."

  "Erlong, my sister!"

  Flander's expression changed drastically, and he immediately went to help her up.

  Yu Xiaogang, dressed in an academic gown, reached out and pointed at Qian Renjue's nose, cursing.

  "Bastard! What are you doing...ah—!"

  Before he could finish cursing,

  Qian Renjue raised his hand and swung his sword, blood splattering as an arm flew into the air.

  "Ah—my, my hand, my hand!"

  Yu Xiaogang staggered backward, his face deathly pale with fear.

  "Useless trash! I've wanted to kill you for a long time."

  Qian Renjue's pale face wore a bloodthirsty smile as he slowly approached Yu Xiaogang.

  Hearing Qian Renjue's words,

  Liu Erlong, who had just stood up, felt her mind buzzing.

  Her face turned even paler .

  Yu Xiaogang was actually on Qian Renjue's kill list?!

  "Xiaogang!"

  Bibi Dong suddenly widened her eyes and hurriedly tried to rescue him.

  The killing intent in Qian Renjue's eyes intensified.

  The dream world, constructed based on Liu Erlong's worldview, although lacking the secret room incident,

  still displeased Qian Renjue!

  If he wasn't mistaken,

  even knowing he would be ambushed was something Bibi Dong had told Yu Xiaogang!

  Before, this piece of trash hid in the sect, in Martial Soul City.

  He didn't have the strength to force his way in.

  But now it was different.

  "Qian Renjue! Stop!"

  Bibi Dong's spirit rings lit up, and she was about to use her spirit skill when Qian Xunji's voice suddenly rang out.

  "Dong'er, don't go over there! That guy is dangerous!"

  "Ah—no!"

  Yu Xiaogang's second arm was severed by Qian Renjue.

  "Xiaogang!"

  Flander wanted to help.

  Liu Erlong, however, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, pulling him back.

  "Boss Flander, don't go over there, please!"

  "What? Erlong, you!"

  Flander couldn't believe his ears

  . "Save me, save me, Dong."

  "Shut up—!"

  "Ah, my leg, my leg is gone!"

  Qian Renjue swung his sword, and in just a moment, he had turned Yu Xiaogang into a human stump.

  "Xiaogang!"

  Bibi Dong's eyes turned red, her gaze towards Qian Renjue filled with killing intent.

  But Qian Renjue didn't give her any chance. He

  severed Yu Xiaogang's head with a single sword strike.

  Then he rushed towards Qian Xunji, releasing all his defenses.

  Qian Renjue didn't want to die at the hands of Bibi Dong.

  "A-Jue, no—!"

  With Liu Erlong's piercing cry,

  Qian Xunji's sacred sword pierced Qian Renjue's heart.

  A trace of gratitude lingered in both their eyes .

  "Ah—!"

  Liu Erlong rushed frantically towards Qian Renjue's falling back.

  The world suddenly fell silent,

  leaving only Liu Erlong's cries.
