C63 (1/2)

When Li Sicong and the others destroyed the ice walls Leng Jun had created, Leng Jun had already jumped off the boat with Zhu Qingyun. Li Sicong shouted as he flared his crew to set sail, but there was no sign of Leng Jun anywhere.

Moreover, the bottom of the ship had been built, so it would be better if the ice walls were here. When the ice wall was destroyed, the sea water immediately surged up. If they didn't make up for it, the entire ship would probably go silent.

Li Sicong flew into a rage, but there was nothing he could do. He could only order his men to repair the Divine Earth Ship, then send a signal to the subordinates that were hiding the Earthly God Palace inside, to chase after the two of them.

Leng Jun carried Zhu Qingyun and dove into the sea. Only after swimming for a long time did he dare to poke out of the water. Leng Jun was worried that the large ship would catch up with them. After swimming fiercely for a while, until the figure of the Divine Earth Ship could no longer be seen, he was finally able to relax.

With the danger temporarily gone, Leng Jun's tensed heart finally relaxed. This time, he felt a sense of tiredness assaulting his body like a torrential storm.

Leng Jun panted harshly as the ice-cold water permeated the place. When he turned to look at Zhu Qingyun who was in his embrace, he realized that the beauty in his arms had long since fainted.

Although Zhu Qingyun had fainted, her arms were still tightly wrapped around Leng Jun's body. Leng Jun could clearly feel that soft body pressing against him, a burst of warmth was still coming from above, proof that the beauty was still alive.

However, it was surrounded by a vast expanse of seawater. The sky and the sea could not be determined in any direction. Leng Jun knew that he could not afford to delay any longer, so he casually chose a direction and swam forward with all his might.

The sea seemed gentle, but in reality, it was incomparably cruel. Waves of frightful billows and perilous waves struck the two people's bodies. They were like ferocious beasts that wanted to swallow the lives of these two people into their stomachs.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Leng Jun was already exhausted. The bone-piercing seawater had already penetrated his body and drilled into his bones. It was like a steel needle was stabbing into his body nonstop. At this moment, the beauty in his arms no longer had any traces of warmth on her body. Leng Jun looked down again. There was no longer any trace of blood on her face, only a ghastly pale white.

”Dead?”

A strong sense of unease came forth, causing Leng Jun to have no choice but to pull out his hand with all his might and press it onto the beauty's chest. It was cold, without a trace of blessing, without a trace of warmth, without even a heartbeat.

Leng Jun felt despair. All of his original ambitions had been extinguished. Originally, he wanted to rescue the kidnapped girl, but how could he know that not only was he unable to save her, the only girl he brought out was destroyed by his own hands. Leng Jun could not help but think that he had done this woman harm. If she didn't show up, at least she wouldn't say it. Maybe the Escort Regiment of the Divine Martial City would return again and rescue them.

The more Leng Jun thought about it, the colder his heart became. He felt that he wasn't saving anyone but a murderer. Despair would cause one to fall into hell and lose the mood to live. Leng Jun allowed the seawater to corrode his soul. Gradually, his consciousness began to blur as well. He felt extremely sleepy and tired. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Leng Jun felt waves of warmth from his body. However, a cold feeling soon came over him again. The cold feeling disappeared in a flash, and a warm feeling returned.

Again and again, this strange feeling finally cleared Leng Jun's mind. When he opened his eyes, he saw an orange sky, the color of the setting sun.
