Chapter 461 (1/2)
Chapter 461: 461
“f.u.c.k off!”
Suddenly, an icy shout rang out like spring thunder . It contained endless killing intent and fury . A single palm viciously slapped across Yin Wushaung’s face, sending her flying .
The unpleasant sound of bones breaking rang out . Her jaw shattered and her teeth flew out, shocking everyone .
“Long Chen!” Everyone was startled to see it was Long Chen who had finally taken action .
BOOM!
The world rumbled . That pearl atop Long Chen’s head disappeared . At this time, Long Chen’s eyes had turned b.l.o.o.d.y, and he was already on the verge of going berserk .
However, he bitterly held back from that point . Because of his fury, his body was quivering .
As soon as his body had become capable of moving again, he had attacked . But he had still been too late .
He did his best to suppress his rage . If he hadn’t held back just now, then Yin Wushuang would have directly exploded from his power . However, her hand had still been on the dagger that was piercing through Ye Zhiqiu’s chest . If Long Chen hadn’t held back, Ye Zhiqiu would have also been blown to bits .
Long Chen’s recovery caused everyone’s expressions to change, and they all retreated in terror .
“Long Chen…” Ye Zhiqiu let out a soft cry . As soon as that dagger had pierced her, she had sensed a fierce poison spreading within her . She was already beginning to lose consciousness . But looking at Long Chen’s face, warmth appeared in her eyes .
At this moment, Long Chen’s body was trembling as he held her . As a pill cultivator, he was proficient in all poisons and could instantly tell that this dagger had contained a mixed poison . There had been at least a hundred different toxins in it .
When those toxins entered a person’s body, they would treat the body as a battlefield, beginning to clash against each other, destroying the body from the inside .
“Quickly consume this . ” Long Chen hastily fed Ye Zhiqui an ant.i.toxin pill . But he knew that this kind of pill wouldn’t be able to save her life . At best, it could postpone her death for a short while .
To suppress this kind of poison would require at least a fifth tier ant.i.toxin pill . But Long Chen didn’t have any . That filled him with grief and pain . Such a fairy-like woman would die just like this .
He thought of the days they had pa.s.sed together . He thought of when the three of them had formed an alliance to s.n.a.t.c.h the Profound Spirit Fruit . He thought of how they had cultivated together . Although Ye Zhiqiu had always been icy, Long Chen knew she was actually extremely kindhearted .
Now he saw a faint black qi was starting to surface on her face . The poison had already reached her brain, and there was no hope at all . His tears streamed down .
Long Chen was filled with regret . If he had had just one more drop of the divine life liquid, perhaps he could save Ye Zhiqiu’s life . But right now he was completely powerless .
“Long Chen, don’t cry . A hero capable of supporting heaven and earth shouldn’t cry for a woman . I don’t want you to be laughed at by others…” Ye Zhiqiu’s life force was growing weaker and weaker . She raised a hand to wipe away Long Chen’s tears .
She continued, “I really was very happy those days when I accompanied you . The only regretful thing is that those days were just temporary . I won’t get to see you standing at the peak of the world .
“Long Chen, didn’t you always want to see me smile? Then I can let you see it one time…” Gently caressing Long Chen’s cheek, a smile appeared on Ye Zhiqiu’s face . It was like a lotus flower had bloomed, sad but beautiful beyond compare .
Once that smile bloomed, Ye Zhiqiu closed her eyes . Her life force faded away . However, her mouth was still frozen in that smile . She had accomplished her promise .
“NO!”
Long Chen let out a b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l, heart-rending cry . He tightly held that beautiful corpse .
The current Long Chen no longer appeared as imposing as before . Instead, he seemed like a helpless child who had lost his companion and was powerless to do anything .
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, and the others had long since reached the point of losing their voices from sobbing . When a hero cried, the entire world was filled with grief . The only sound right now was Long Chen’s crying .
The distant, spectating Righteous disciples couldn’t help tearing up when they heard that . They were all disciples who came from poor backgrounds, but it was those that came from poor backgrounds that had the most sincere emotions .
Long Chen was a peerless genius, one who could arrogantly look down on all, one who could suppress the peak experts of seven prefectures .
But when he lost his companion, his grief affected everyone . In this world, where the weak were prey to the strong, such emotions were truly hard to come by .
As for those disciples that had attacked him, they were all surprised . None of them had thought that Long Chen would cry like this, without any regard to his image, because of one woman .
Huo Wufang, Han Tianyu, and Yin Luo glanced at each other and attacked at the same time . They wanted to take advantage of Long Chen’s grief to kill him with a single attack .
“f.u.c.k off!” Long Chen suddenly roared, and a powerful sound wave caused heaven and earth to rumble . At the same time, an incredibly berserk aura erupted from his body, and he raised his blood-colored saber .
BOOM!
