Chapter 2168 Raw 2275 : Perhaps Tomorrow, Perhaps Never (1/2)

Today is the day that Liu Ruyue leaves the Faux G.o.d World…

Xiao Chen appeared stunned. Then, he suddenly understood. The eighty-first floor of the Trial Tower was about to open. At that time, the experts of the super factions would appear. The false Emperors who were in closed-door cultivation would not miss out on this chance.

If Xiao Chen were still a heaven-defying Sovereign Personage when he entered the Trial Tower’s eighty-first floor, it would be perilous.

However, Liu Ruyue did not know that Xiao Chen could advance to half-step Sovereign Emperor at any time, so she had to see it for herself before leaving.

Only then could she leave in peace. d.a.m.n it…

Xiao Chen felt heartache. Indeed, he could advance to half-step Sovereign Emperor at any time; he had not lied to Liu Ruyue.

However, he had also indeed lied to Liu Ruyue. He had many things he wanted to say to her but could not.

He could not do it; he did not dare to. He could only grit his teeth and put on a blank face, pretending that nothing had happened.

After interacting with each other for five years, the two’s tacit understanding reached a deep level. Given Liu Ruyue’s intelligence, how could she not guess that?

Liu Ruyue would not feel such familiarity and warmth from a stranger for no reason at all.

Even if Liu Ruyue lost all her memories, forgetting Xiao Chen, forgetting the Sky Dome Realm, forgetting Qingyun Peak, what she felt when interacting with Xiao Chen could not lie to her.

Liu Ruyue had waited, enduring for five years.

Even when Liu Ruyue was about to leave, Xiao Chen still showed no intention of saying anything. Thus, she would only guess.

Xiao Chen once said that he had a person he loved the most, so Liu Ruyue could only let her imagination run wild. Even if she felt a strong pa.s.sion in her heart, she could only warn herself not to think about him.

Since you are not willing to tell me, then there is no need to force it.

Seeing you advance to half-step Sovereign Emperor before I leave is sufficient for me to feel at peace.

Ever since Xiao Chen saw Liu Ruyue upon his arrival here, he felt heartache every time they met or interacted. It was like a silver needle stabbing into his chest.

Over the past five years, who knew how many such silver needles had stabbed into Xiao Chen’s chest and entered his heart?

What about me…

I interacted with you for five years, knowing everything. However, I have to keep it all in my heart, unable to say anything.

I have all my martial skills, able to form a perfect Divine Seal with a thought.

I can fight false Emperors as a half-step Sovereign Emperor. When I become a Sovereign Emperor in the future, my strength will be immeasurable.

However, what is the point? In the end, I can only watch as the person I love the most leaves.

Xiao Chen could not tell Lu Benwei about this pain, nor could he tell Liu Ruyue about it. He could only hide it in his heart, pretending to be indifferent.

Xiao Chen felt utterly helpless, only able to swallow all these heartaches.

The heartaches suppressed for five years completely erupted at this moment. Xiao Chen felt incredible anguish. The silver needles stabbed in his chest exploded, all the well-hidden wounds turning into thousands of holes riddling his heart.

“Come with me to send off Junior Sister Liu. The two of us are really stupid. To think that we forgot about such an important thing. She must be angry with us for forgetting.”

Lu Benwei felt somewhat self-reproachful. He turned around, wanting to give chase. However, he discovered that Liu Ruyue already disappeared.

Lu Benwei’s expression turned somewhat unsightly. He sighed softly, “It looks like Junior Sister Liu is furious.”

Lu Benwei thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, they had interacted with each other for so many years. Since he actually forgot about sending Liu Ruyue off, how could she not be angry?

Lu Benwei turned his head to look at Xiao Chen. Just when he was about to speak, he discovered that Xiao Chen’s delicate face appeared terrifyingly pale, completely drained of blood.

“Little Brother Xiao Chen, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Benwei immediately felt somewhat fl.u.s.tered. Clearly, something was not quite right with Xiao Chen’s current state.

How could a person who just advanced to half-step Sovereign Emperor have such a scary complexion?

“Pu ci!”

The only reply Lu Benwei got was a mouthful of blood. Without any signs, Xiao Chen vomited blood and fell over.

Lu Benwei could not dodge in time; the blood splashed him. When he recovered his wits, Xiao Chen had already fallen to the ground, lying supine.

“d.a.m.n it! What’s going on?!”

Lu Benwei stepped forward and checked Xiao Chen’s pulse. This immediately frightened him, making him panic slightly.

Xiao Chen’s heart showed a tear. The Veritable Essence Energy in his body turned chaotic, gus.h.i.+ng uncontrollably through his meridians. They were like wild horses struggling free from their restraints, charging around and cras.h.i.+ng into everything within his body.

Xiao Chen’s body turned cold in one moment, and then extremely hot later. After a while, he brimmed with sharp saber intent.

Just from touching Xiao Chen, Lu Benwei sustained multiple injuries that washed his hand in blood.

Xiao Chen’s Ice Dao Domain and Thunder Dao Domain also rampaged.

Xiao Chen’s lifeforce slowly weakened, startling Lu Benwei.
