    Chapter 76 Barrier City (2)

    "Demon species?" Jing Ruyu seemed to have heard some joke, her eyes full of ridicule, she looked at Xie Shiyi and said coldly: "Xie Ying, you are indeed a lunatic. Over the years, how many innocent people have beenYou killed me under the guise of 'eliminating demons'. If you wanted to kill me, why would you beat around the bush and give me the title of a demon? I have cultivated to the point of becoming a god. Do you still need to tell me whether I am a demon or not?!"

    The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the redness in her eyes seemed to flow out.

    Xie Shiyi said nothing, he raised his head and looked upward quietly.The increasingly raging pure white flames surrounded the Bone Hall. Sparks fell like meteors, and the beams, stone pillars, and bone walls were all crumbling.

    Jing Ruyu took a step forward with a dark and crazy look on his face: "Don't look any further, all the exits to Tinglan's secret realm have been burned by the Red Spirit Heavenly Fire, and you can't escape even if you have wings." Jing Ruyu smiled proudly and weirdly: "Xie Ying, I have known you for so many years, so I can give you a chance to say your last words."

    The corners of Xie Shiyi's lips raised slightly, and his eyes were full of coldness.

    He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to explain all his grudges and plots clearly.He doesn't even have any interest in talking to anyone other than Yan Qing.

    Sitting high in the Xiaoyu Palace for so many years, countless people were anxiously guessing his every thought and every move.But after guessing and guessing, I never got an answer.

    A soul card appeared in Xie Shiyi's hand hidden under the red sleeve. There was a small hole on the soul card, and a drop of blood condensed on the hole.His eyelashes lowered, his fingers carelessly groped for the lines on it, and then he stroked the soul card coldly and cruelly.

    A white mark instantly appeared on the reddish-brown agate.

    Jing Ruchen, who was lying on the ground, suddenly frowned.

    Jing Ruyu's smile froze instantly.

    A sharp pain shot through her body, a torment for her soul.

    Jing Ruyu's face turned pale, she suddenly raised her head, looked at the soul tablet between Xie Shiyi's fingers, and her eyes were about to burst: "Soul-control tablet?! When did you take Jing Ruchen's blood!"

    Xie Shiyi did not answer her, but simply said: "The owner of Tinglan Secret Realm is Bai Si, but the person who created it is not."

    Jing Ruchen's blood can open the Six Paths Tower.He believed that Jing Ruyu's fate could also open another exit.After all, the creator of this ancient secret realm located at Floating Flower Gate is the Jing family.

    Jing Ruyu suppressed her smile, her expression was cold, and her pupils were filled with murderous intent. This time she finally stopped talking nonsense, and the green wind blew up in her palm, hitting Xie Shiyi directly.

    Xie Shiyi's red clothes were stained with blood, and he held the soul-controlling tablet in his hand. This time, he pinched it into pieces without mercy.

    The pain of having his soul crushed was intense, like ten thousand swords piercing and stirring in his mind.

    Jing Ruyu snorted and actually laughed out loud at this moment.What she felt in her heart now was not anger or shock, but despair and sarcasm.She has been suspicious and cautious all her life, careful and vigilant at every step, and will never put herself in danger without absolute certainty.

    Who would have thought - the greatest danger comes from her closest relatives.

    Her mother had laid a big trap for her.

    Twin mirrors, reversing fate.

    "Xie Ying...you are indeed a murderous lunatic..."

    Jing Ruyu staggered a step, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, she covered her chest and half-knelt on the ground.

    She and Jing Ruchen now exchanged fate, but the Soul Control Card locked onto Jing Ruchen's soul, not his body.

    If Xie Shiyi crushes the Soul Taming Card, she will die first for Jing Ruchen, and then because her soul disappears, Jing Ruchen will inevitably die as well.

    Wait, that's not right.

    Jing Ruyu suddenly thought of something, her dilated pupils condensed little by little, and her whole body became cold.

    In fact, it is very difficult to make a monk in the transformation stage die.

    As long as the soul is immortal and given enough time, the body can be reshaped and reshaped, and the Nascent Soul can be re-knitted and retrained.

    If you want to truly kill a god-transforming monk, the only way is to lose your soul.

    And when the soul is gone, even within the twelve hours between life and death, Jing Ruchen will still be affected.

    Jing Ruyu rested her fingers on the ground, her black hair was hanging down, her eyes were blank, and she glimpsed the reality of fate a hundred years later.

    She didn't look at Xie Shiyi this time, but came back to her senses and looked at Jing Ruchen, who was stunned by her.Jing Ruchen is lying on the ground, her eyelashes are hanging down obediently, and her white skirt is like the endless two-life flowers on Yasha Peak. The white aura that extinguished the Red Spirit Heavenly Fire for her when the mirror shattered has not dissipated yet.

    They circled intimately around Jing Ruchen, seeping into her skin, her veins, her blood, and her soul bit by bit.

    They... are eroding Jing Ruchen's soul!

    Jing Ruyu's fingers trembled violently and she laughed like crazy.

    It was only now that she realized the coldest fact. For a moment, she felt like she was in a world of ice and snow, her limbs and teeth were trembling, blurry tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart and soul were throbbing together.

    ——The scattered spiritual power spread from beneath the body, and the pressure of the transformed god directly crushed the Dantian of all the disciples, forcing them to kneel down and vomit blood.

    Jing Ruyu seemed crazy and said softly: "Jing Lanze, do you hate me so much?"

    She asked, how could Jing Lanze be so stupid, thinking that she would let Jing Ruchen go after twelve hours.

    It turns out that what Jing Lanze was thinking about at the beginning was not to let Jing Ruchen live, but how to let her die.

    Even without Xie Ying, they were still in a state of confusion.

    It turns out that Jing Lanze's original purpose was to let them die together.

    Jing Ruyu murmured: "Are you sure that I will definitely kill Jing Ruchen, so you set up such a poisonous formation? There is no solution to the twin curse, and it can only end with death." Jing Ruyu's eyes were red.Able to drip blood: "Because now that Jing Ruchen has become a cripple, she will definitely die, so you want me to die with her?!"

    She laughed: "Hahahahaha Jing Lanze! Am I really your daughter?!"

    "You actually go to such lengths to kill me?!"

    Xie Shiyi looked down at her, his eyes as cold as every time he visited Xiaoyu Palace.

    At the moment when his fingers were about to completely shatter the Soul Taming Card with force.

    Yan Qing suddenly stopped him and gently held his hand.

    Xie Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, and the icy blue light dimly flickered in the depths of his pupils.

    Yan Qing frowned and said, "Xie Shiyi, if the Soul Taming Card is broken, Jing Ruchen will also die."

    Xie Shiyi always had a lot of patience with Yan Qing and said calmly: "If I don't crush the Soul Taming Card, Jing Ruchen will die."

    He was not afraid of showing his cold side in front of Yan Qing. He only said: "The twin mirror has never been a protective talisman. It is just a curse. The moment the mirror breaks. In order to completely kill Jing Ruyu, Jing Ruchen mustThe soul is gone."

    Yan Qing was slightly stunned, and now he realized his naivety. He stopped Feiyu before because he saw the mirror moved when it was broken.

    He thought the twin mirror was a talisman that would protect the mirror like dust.Unexpectedly, the twin mirror was a murder weapon from beginning to end, a murder weapon facing Jing Ruchen.

    ...What did the previous Floating Flower Sect Master see before his death to set up such a trap?

    Yan Qing said softly: "There will always be a way."

    Xie Shiyi looked at him quietly for a while, then put the Soul Taming Card back.

    Yan Qing said to him: "You Liuli is heartbroken now and can't gather any spiritual power at all. Leave Jingruyu to me."

    Xie Shiyi: "Okay."

    Jing Ruyu raised her head. She watched Xie Shiyi take back the Soul Taming Card, but she didn't feel any joy at all, and she laughed coldly.

    She once thought that the biggest enemy in Tinglan's secret realm was Xie Ying, but she didn't expect that the person who would give her the final judgment would be her mother who had been dead for many years.The twin curse is devouring Jing Ruchen's soul. Within twelve hours, they are destined to die together.

    Jing Ruyu said softly: "Xie Ying, I will make your life worse than death."

    She was completely crazy now. She didn't think about anything but killing people at the end of her life.Vent all the years of hatred, anger, and jealousy on this palace full of innocent people.Skinning them and breaking their bones, making them miserable, and collapsing in despair with her in pain.

    Jing Ruyu looked at Yan Qing with a mocking gaze.

    Xie Ying, an unscrupulous person like him, actually likes such an innocent and kind boy?But being kind is good, it actually helps yourself.

    Jing Ruyu stood up slowly with her hands on the ground. The strong blue wind under her feet rolled up in the Bone Hall.Because of her divine power, the Red Spirit Heavenly Fire did not dare to approach.

    The azure wind and the pure white fire, two unprecedented spiritual powers blend together to form a chilling killing intent.

    "Go." Jing Ruyu's red lips opened.

    Yan Qing also said coldly: "I can't achieve my ambition."

    Bu Zhi couldn't care less about the entanglement over there. It was entangled with Huai Mingzi's nightmare.

    When it was thrown over by Yan Qing, it was frightened, crying for its father and mother, thinking that it was going to die with it.

    I didn't expect to actually pounce on this black thing, but found that it wasn't actually that scary.

    It originally wanted to swallow this thing in one gulp just like it did in the Rejuvenationist dungeon.Unexpectedly, it can move, run, and slide.

    It can only use its teeth, wings and claws to fight together, biting one bite in the east and one bite in the west.

    Suddenly hearing Yan Qing calling it, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and raised his head from Huai Mingzi's nightmare, his red bean eyes full of confusion.

    "What are you doing? I haven't finished chewing it yet. Why are you calling me? Ouch - don't move!" It flapped its bony wings and struggled with the monster again.

    With a twist of the soul thread between Yan Qing's fingers, he tied up Bu Zhi and Xiang together.

    "What are you doing! Let me go!" Bu Zhizi'er screamed. The next second, the world was spinning, and Yan Qing dragged her and attacked Xiang Jing Ruyu directly.

    Unwilling: "Wow ah ah ah!!"

    It was so frightened that it covered its eyes with its wings, and the hair on its head exploded.

    But it was Huai Mingzi's nightmare to be the first to approach Jing Ruyu.The nightmare in the transformation stage is not something ordinary people can deal with. The twisted black liquid rushed towards Jing Ruyu.

    The mirror's apricot eyes were as bright as jade. He stretched out his hand and held it directly with his five fingers.In the flash of lightning, Huai Mingzi's nightmare spread up her palms, wrapped around her skin, and controlled her hands not to move.

    Jing Ruyu was stunned. At the stage of becoming a god, there were very few things that could touch her, let alone restrain her.

    Yan Qing took advantage of this moment, stepped down from Ling Feng, and came closer in an instant. The soul thread at his fingertips penetrated Jing Ruyu's eyebrows without hesitation.The moment the thread of soul pierced the center of his eyebrows, Jingru Yuchen suddenly raised his head.The beaded hairpin on her hair fell down, and the black hair on her head fell down like a waterfall, hunting in the wind and fire. Her skin was like snow, her lips were like blood, and her hair brushed her eyebrows. She seemed to be a girl with flowers on her skirt at the Fairy Banquet..

    Yan Qing said: "Mirror is like jade, so many people say you have evil intentions. Only you know what you have done, right?"

    Jing Ruyu's body stiffened. This was the first time she looked at Yan Qing, the boy Xie Ying brought back from the Rejuvenation Sect.

    Those peach blossom eyes looked at her calmly, and Jing Ruyu actually sensed a danger.She was filled with absurdity and unexplained anger: "What have I done? Are you worthy of asking?"

    Yan Qing ignored her contempt and said calmly: "You used Zixiao to kill Zixiao. This is one of the evil intentions."

    "You colluded with the Qin family and sacrificed the nine disciples of this hall for your own selfish desires. This is the second evil in mind."

    Yan Qing said softly: "You keep talking about benevolence, justice and morality, and you keep getting rid of harm for the sake of reputation. Mirror like jade, what did you do in Xuanji Palace back then?"

    Xuanji Palace, these three words were like a switch, opening up all her limbs.

    Jing Ruyu calmed down.

    The cyan spiritual power in her palm was slowly driving away the evil nightmare, and she was just waiting for the opportunity to kill Yan Qing with one blow. She asked jokingly: "Back then, when I was in the Nascent Soul stage, I was trapped in the Red Spirit Sky Fire of Xuanji Palace and was like a useless person. What can I do??”

    Yan Qing said: "Maybe Jing Ruchen doesn't know what you did. Just because you never thought about killing Jing Ruchen, it doesn't mean you never thought about harming her."

    Yan Qing said softly: "My soul is now in your sea of consciousness, and I can also see some of your memories."

    "Get out!" After Jing Ruyu heard this, she suddenly gritted her teeth and backed away.But the silk in Yan Qing's hand turned her consciousness upside down. She turned pale because of the pain, staggered, and half-knelt down.

    Yan Qing walked forward, still wearing the robe of a disciple of the Forgetting Sect, which was blue and white, simple and elegant, but his voice was cold and as if from the outside world, and he said softly: "I saw you trapped in the corner of the Xuanji Palace."

    "There's fire all around and there's no way you can escape."

    "Jing Ruchen was calling your name. The moment the fire broke out, she rushed in desperately to save you."

    "Jing Ruchen was at the Dongxu stage at the time. She found you, stretched out her hand to you, and took you out. You guys walked to the entrance of the palace, and then Jing Ruchen said to you..."

    ——Ruyu, we are saved.

    Jing Ruyu's fingers trembled and she yelled crazily: "Shut up!"

    Yan Qing said nothing, and smiled coldly at the corner of his lips, feeling chilled in his heart.In fact, as early as Zi Xiao's memories, he knew that Jing Ruyu was used to playing with people's hearts. Now that he had seen the truth, he was still shocked by her acting skills.

    She is good at winning people's sympathy and even better at confusing right and wrong.

    She can be pitiful, she can be crazy and paranoid.When he asked Jing Ruchen so desperately and sadly just now, he was somewhat sincere.

    Everyone feels that there must be something hateful about pitiable people.

    So I am always willing to believe that hateful people must be pitiful.

    But... is it true?

    Jing Ruyu looked down at her trembling hands.She and Jing Ruchen were twins. They had exactly the same food, clothing, and housing when they were young. When they grew up, they had similar body shapes and similar hands.

    The hands were white and slender, and the nails were as smooth as shells. She seemed to see Jing Ruchen's hands stretched out in the sea of fire that day. They were as white as jade, dispelling all the smoke and dust.

    Fire fell from the sky and thick smoke spread throughout the Xuanji Palace.

    She huddled in the corner, panicked and trembling.In the most confusing and dark time of life, Jing Ruchen's stumbling white figure ignited the hope in her eyes.

    "Ruyu! Catch me!"

    Tears filled her eyes and she rushed over: "Sister!"

    Memories are like knives.

    In an instant, the blood surged to the side of her throat. Jing Ruyu smiled softly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "She took me to the entrance of Xuanji Palace. In fact, we can all go out..."

    But what about after going out?

    One person continues to enjoy the beauty of heaven, while the other person continues to let jealousy corrode the soul in the darkness?

    Everything was destroyed in the sea of fire. Ironically, the journey that Jing Ruchen led her on was the most peaceful moment in her life.In a trance, she returned to the time when Hongmeng first opened. There were only her and her in the darkness. Their flesh and blood were fused together in the mother's womb and they were indistinguishable from each other.

    Gossips never reached our ears, and jealousy never turned the barrier between the two into a chasm.

    But she would eventually wake up from her dream, and the cool breeze and bright moon outside Xuanji Palace caught her eyes, making her come back from the fantasy of sisterly love.

    "Ruyu, we are saved." Jing Ruchen came back to his senses, with a smile in his eyes that seemed to contain light.

    Xuanji Hall is magnificent, and the door plaques are made of gold and jade.

    The tongue of fire licked Jing Ruchen's face, Jing Ruchen's hair, and also licked the pillars and doors behind her.

    The moment Jing Ruyu raised her head, her pupils shrank——

    She saw the plaque of Xuanji Palace behind Jing Ruchen falling with fierce fire.

    At that moment, her heart was in her throat, and her body had already acted before her brain. A smile bloomed on her face, and she cried with joy: "Yes, sister, we are saved!"

    She pretended to be excited, pretending to survive the disaster, and hugged Jing Ruchen's arm tightly with her fingers, so hard that she seemed to be extremely scared.

    She threw herself in front of Jing Ruchen.

    Because of the force of the collision, Jing Ruchen staggered back a step and stood where the plaque was falling.

    And she buried her head in her neck, trembling all over, crying and laughing.

    She didn't know why Jing Ruchen didn't push her away, just like she didn't know why Jing Ruchen took a step forward in the end.

    All I know is that with a "boom", the door plaque fell.She had no expression on her face and let go of her hand. The entanglement of love, hate, greed, anger, stupidity and resentment in this life has come to an end.

    Later, she woke up as if from a nightmare. She was so frightened that she went crazy to rescue her sister from the ruins.When her mother arrived, what she saw was her breaking down and crying while holding Jing Ruchen.The tears are real, and the sadness is real.

    The red spirit sky fire burned the Xuanji Palace to nothing but scorched earth, burying all the truth.

    What she did, really only she knows.

    She has evil intentions... Yes, she has always had evil intentions.

    Rain falls on the green maple, candlelight floats on the lantern, she tells the story of the past to outsiders.Even she herself didn't know how true or false it was.

    The voice is thin and sorrowful.

    "Not long ago, there was a fire in the Xuanji Palace of the Floating Flower Gate. My sister was trapped in it, blinded by the red spirit sky fire, and her legs were burned off. The Dantian was destroyed, and there was no possibility of practicing."

    "My sister felt that she was a useless person and was not worthy of being the leader of the sect. So she abdicated the throne and let me succeed."

    "Senior, tell me, is this the world's most unpredictable thing? Although I am jealous of my sister, I have never thought of letting her end up in this situation. Although everyone in the sect compares me with her, my sister treats me likeexcellent."

    "The fire in Xuanji Palace that night was really big..."

    "Fortunately, it's all over."

    Fortunately, it's all over...

    Yan Qing lowered his head and looked at Jing Ruyu.

    Jing Ruyu knelt on the ground, her black hair draped around her body. Her back was slender, trapped in bloody memories, like a dying butterfly.

    Yan Qing did not dare to read more of Jing Ruyu's memory. This woman had a treacherous mind and could be backlashed if she was not careful.So he manipulated the soul thread, seized this last moment, closed his eyes and concentrated, and finally found the black nightmare in the deepest part of her sea of consciousness.

    The moment she saw it, Yan Qing was stunned for a moment - this black nightmare was almost rooted in the sea of consciousness, coexisting with her whole body.

    It's not like he hasn't dealt with demons with high cultivation levels before.But nightmares are the curse of the devil, the evil thoughts of gods, and foreign objects that do not belong to people themselves, and are often free.

    But this time, the mirror-like nightmare... was so solid, as if it belonged to her.

    Yan Qing gritted his teeth and still pulled the black thing, uprooted it, and slowly twitched the soul thread outward.

    Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page Last Page

    Jing Ruyu raised her neck, and finally, the green spiritual power in her palm finally dispelled Huai Mingzi's nightmare.She came back to her senses and sneered. After gaining the power of action, the first thing she did was to stretch out her hand. Her five fingers became the sharpest weapons, curled with cyan spiritual power, and she wanted to dig out Yan Qing's heart through her clothes and flesh..

    Unexpectedly, her hands hadn't even touched Yan Qing's clothes.

    The soul thread was suddenly pulled out, and she looked up. When she saw the black thing wrapped around the soul thread, her whole body stiffened, her eyes shrank to a point, and she murmured in disbelief.

    "Is this my nightmare?"

    Once the nightmare is taken out, the demon will die instantly.But Jing Ruyu just spit out a mouthful of blood, her face was pale, her apricot eyes were sparkling, and she was deeply confused.

    First it was the curse of the twin mirror, and then it was the nightmare in his own body.The successive blows left Jing Ruyu in despair.

    Just when she thought everything had come to an end today.

    Suddenly a voice came, destroying all her sanity.

    "The mirror is like jade."

    There are only three people standing in the hall now, Xie Shiyi, Yan Qing, and Jing Ruchen.

    Jing Ruyu slowly turned around.

    Realizing that Jing Ruchen had woken up at some point, she stood up from the corner. Her once innocent and clear eyes were so complicated that it was difficult to see her thoughts at this moment.Jing Ruchen closed his eyes tiredly and then slowly opened them, with a gentle face and a sad smile on his lips, he said softly: "Jing Ruyu, long time no see."

    The sound echoed in the empty hall, like snow that had fallen for many years.

    Yan Qing said nothing, threw the hair in her hand to Bu Zhi, and turned back to Xie Shiyi.

    Xie Shiyi said: "You can't save Jing Ruchen. This mirror will break sooner or later, it's just sooner or later."

    Yan Qing just looked at the twisted nightmare wrapped around the black hair, and said softly: "Do you think the previous master of the Floating Flower Sect guessed that Jing Ruyu was a demon seed, so he set such a curse??”

    "Not killing Jing Ruchen means that Jing Ruyu still retains the last trace of conscience. If one day Jing Ruyu wants to further her cultivation and kills Jing Ruchen, it means that she has completely become a demon."

    "The master of the Floating Flower Sect didn't want her to harm the common people, so he set up such a trap. If the mirror is broken, the mirror's soul will be scattered, and the mirror's soul will be scattered as well."

    No one can easily make a soul in the God Transformation Stage fly away.

    Therefore, we can only play tricks on Jing Ruchen, who has a deep bond with Jing Ruyu.

    Yan Qing suddenly felt tired, first Qin Changxi, then Huai Mingzi, and then Jing Ruyu.This time, Tinglan Secret Realm really exhausted him, but he had to brace himself up because Xie Shiyi was weaker than him now.

    "I'm sorry, it was me who dragged you down." Yan Qing suddenly felt deeply guilty and said softly.

    Xie Shiyi raised her eyes to look at him and said calmly: "Well, have you figured out how to atone for your sins?"

    Yan Qing felt guilty: "I haven't thought about it, but I will follow you wherever you go."

    Xie Shiyi smiled lightly, looked forward again, and said calmly: "If I don't come in, Qin Changxi might just temporarily resurrect Huai Mingzi and use him as a weapon."

    From the moment those disciples in the black market swallowed the elixir with ulterior motives, their fate was sealed. They could even directly tell the sect that they were the ones to blame.

    But now, Huai Mingzi has died, and Jing Ruyu has entered the game.

    Nine sects and three sects are turbulent.The Qin family of Zijinzhou will definitely come to Nanzezhou.

    "Let's go." Xie Shiyi said softly.

    Yan Qing: "What?!"

    Xie Shiyi said calmly: "Aren't you curious about my next step?"

    Yan Qing: "What???"

    Xie Shiyi smiled jokingly, remembering the question Yan Qing asked him on the 9900th floor when he returned to Wang Qingzong from Nanshi.

    "Follow you and 'betray' the sect."

    He has never been able to find a way to enter the Four Hundred and Eighty Temple, so he might as well take advantage of this time and use his trick.

    On the other side, Jing Ruyu and Jing Ruchen faced off in the sea of fire.Pure incandescent fire burned the hall, causing panic and confusion.

    Love, hate, grudges, seem to be unclear from the first moment they were born together.
