102 Two Choices (1/2)
The sky was still thunderous and electrifying, with my injured foot, it would probably be difficult to dodge. Seeing this, Bi Qingshen Jun immediately grabbed Yao Yang's body to use as a shield for me.
”Ah stop it! You fools!” The lightning coursed through their bodies. Bi Qingshen Jun's mouth was oozing with blood, and Yao Yang who could no longer take it finally compromised, ”I'll stop it! I'll stop it!”
”Hurry up! Otherwise you can just die together with me!” Bi Qingshen Jun's expression was grim, the pain seemed unbearable. As I was about to grab a hold of him, he quickly shouted, ”Don't touch me! Or else I'll spank your butt!”
I had to obediently stand down, and watch worriedly at the turn of events.
”Three feet to the right, the willow tree over there is the key, shatter the tree and this lightning formation will stop.” Yao Yang sounded like he was on the verge of death.
Bi Qingshen Jun endured the lightning and was about to break the willow tree when suddenly, the other Yao Yang frantically cried out, ”Don't listen to him! He's lying to you! If you destroy that willow tree, it will maximize the strength of the formation! A 100,000 arrows would be shot in all directions, and the rocks will bury us in an avalanche! Hurry and shatter the rock to the left! That is the real key!”
What is going on? Bi Qingshen Jun hesitated.
The first Yao Yang hastily shouted, ”It's the willow on the right! Believe me! I don't want to die! My wife would be widowed!”
The other Yao Yang followed suit and shouted, ”It's the rock on the left! I still have a lot of beauties I haven't sampled yet! No matter what, I can't die here!”
”You're too much of a sissy! Don't try and pretend to be me!”
”You crazy asshat! Are you trying to kill everyone here along with you?”
”You bastard, you're just courting death!”
”Even if you die, don't drag me with you!”
On the right is the willow. On the left is the rock. Yao Yang's body contains two souls, so which one is the cowardly and afraid of death persona, which one is speaking the truth?
Two choices in front of us, the correct choice will save us, and the wrong choice would kill us all.
Yao Yang has entered into a raging dispute with himself, not listening to any logic and or other people's opinions.
Bi Qingshen Jun released his hold on the nearly collapsed Yao Yang. He knelt on one knee, looked at me, and shook his head in confusion.
”Miao Miao, you choose.” He told me.
After thinking about it, I prepared to choose the willow on the right, but before I could even express this thought, he suddenly changed his mind, ”It's better if I choose.”
Our minds thought alike. A sword quickly flew to the willow tree on the right cutting it in half.
The thunder came to a halt after the willow split in half. I happily jumped up and rushed into Bi Qingshen Jun's arms. I rubbed my head against him to express my joy and also licked his lightning burns.
Bi Qingshen Jun gently lied down clutching his injuries, and said to Li Tianwang and Yang Jian, ”After a quick break, I must trouble you two to bring us back.”
Li Tianwang simply nodded and smiled, but Yang Jian coldly said, ”Although Yao Yang stopped this formation, we still need to take him back for punishment, we can't let him go easy!”
Xiao Tian who was next to us hesitantly asked, ”But Lord Shen Jun has already promised to let him go.”
”That was just an expedient measure. People associated with magic aren't obligated to talk about commitments.” Yang Jian ordered his soldiers to clean up the scene, as well as helping me and Bi Qingshen Jun get back up.
Bi Qingshen Jun frowned as he was about to speak. Yao Yang who had been lying next to him, opened his eyes, looked at the blue sky and gently said, ”500 years, I can finally be free.”
With this sentence, an intense fear swept through my mind. The sound of a ringing, and a thousand arrows shooting in all directions echoed in the air. All the soldiers within the vicinity were immediately wounded and rocks had begun tumbling down from the sides.
”Death is my only relief…..”
With the last words of Yao Yang, I was about to grab Bi Qingshen Jun and escape, but I was fiercely pushed into the ground and forcefully made to transform back into the form of a cat.
When I woke again, I was surrounded by darkness. I rubbed my eyes to restore my night vision, I looked all around, and found that Bi Qingshen Jun had placed me in his embrace. There were pockets of small space all around us, the air seemed to be dead and no longer flowed.
”Shifu! Shifu!” I quickly shouted.
Bi Qingshen Jun softly said, ”I'm here…..”
Hearing his voice, my mind was more at peace. I then asked, ”Why is it so dark around us? Are we trapped? Do we need to dig a way out?”
”Don't dig, I carry on the back of me an entire mountain, I'm afraid any movements may cause another landslide.” He persevered, his breathing became shortened. He reassured, ”Don't be afraid, Li Tianwang and Yang Jian shouldn't be hurt too much, they will find a way to get us out.”
