Chapter 008: What is the purpose of enduring death's desires

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

A silent exclamation of dismay, only thinking: "Yang Jian is her great enemy who has killed her."

The meridians throughout Yang Jian's body, which had already been severely damaged, were once again shattered by a powerful force.

Dingxiang shook her head and said: "No, I just like this, I will not leave"

Lilac clapped her hands and said: "So you can smile? I thought you couldn't hear what I was saying!"

It has been exactly three years, Yang Jian, it seems you have forgotten your promise

Under the shock of the eight dragons, it was only then that they remembered that three years ago, the Three Holy Mothers had indeed taken Yang Jian away

In contrast to the desolation of the cottage, the Liu residence was bustling with activity elsewhere

Long Ba Dao: "What courtesy is there to speak to such a person? Ding Xiang, let me help you take it down!"

He is not seriously ill, and there is truly no need for her to worry or be concerned

Dingxiang looked repeatedly, then glanced at Yang Jian, saying: "I have seen this before, but where exactly have I seen it? However, this thing is truly beautiful!"

He said in a deep voice

I gave you time to recover for the final battle, yet he thought I was afraid of your sister and nephew

He slowly stood up, as if overwhelmed by the burden, and murmured again: "I have pursued martial arts my entire life, yet in the end, I must use formations to kill and seek revenge"

The one-armed man sighed and nodded, saying: "I understand, Yang Jian, you should regain your fighting strength in half a year."

At present, Long Ba inquired in detail about the incident, and then wanted to examine the silver moon ornament closely. He speculated, "This ornament was obtained by him thousands of years ago when he exterminated demons. I do not know its exact purpose. It is possible that while you were playing with it, you inadvertently triggered a mechanism that happened to injure him."

Seeing Yang Jian lost in thought over the silver ornament, and mistaking his attachment to it, anger flared within. He lifted him by his body, removed the thin cord from around his neck, and with a release of his grip, threw him heavily back onto the bed

With a forceful pull, Yang Jian furrowed his brows slightly as the fine thread of the ornament dug deeply into the flesh at the back of his neck, yet it could not be severed.

In a hurry, he pushed the door open and entered, seeing Dingxiang standing in front of Yang Jian, carefully looking down at something.

As he had anticipated, the damaged meridians were indeed beyond repair, and his body continued to endure pain as always, to the extent that the rapid advancement of his magical powers went unnoticed by the Three Holy Mothers

On that day, a servant came out of the backyard in a bad mood. Upon inquiring, Ding Xiang learned that there was a bedridden patient in the backyard who had been ill for many years, yet he ignored everyone all day long

Yet your efforts may not necessarily yield any rewards

Yang Jian saw her clutching the silver ornament tightly, and his expression changed involuntarily. He opened his mouth to speak, but found himself unable to utter a word

Without further ado, she insisted on pulling Yang Jian up. As she lowered her head, she noticed a peculiar object beneath his collar, shaped oddly yet reminiscent of something she had seen on someone before. She reached out to take it out and examined it closely

However, if it is used as the focal point to launch the Annihilation God Formation, even the Three Pure Ones and the Four Sovereigns would only meet with the fate of being reduced to ashes.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I was momentarily choked by the dust that had been stirred up.

The Three Holy Mothers came to her senses and sighed, "Ao Chun, you need not blame yourself. Yang Jian has wronged you far too much in the East Sea Dragon Palace. You did not wish to seek revenge, yet inadvertently caused him harm. Is this not the retribution that is destined to happen, perfectly timed and unavoidable?"

Therefore, when activating the formation, I will give you an opportunity, which can be considered as compensation for my failure to keep my promise

What San Sheng Mu did not expect was that during these days, there was another pair of eyes quietly observing every move within the house

Yang Jian's gaze was sharp as a blade, suddenly tightening and focusing.

Seeing Long Ba enter, Ding Xiang waved for him to come over and said with a smile: "Xiao Ba, come and take a look at this"

Yet his expression, which seemed to contain too much, always made her want to keep her distance.

In my memory, his chest was warm and broad, and as a child, I always loved to cling to him, asking him to pick me up and sing nursery rhymes and tell stories.

Yang Jian was deep in thought for a long time, and then he smiled silently.

Then came a series of questions. Seeing Yang Jian lying on the bed with a faint smile, I couldn't help but feel a bit displeased and said: "Not saying a word, it's really boring. By the way, I heard they said you can't move, right? My family’s Long Ba has a lot of spiritual medicines. Come, I will take you to find him!"

Yang Jian gazed at her quietly

The voice was quite anxious, yet it was Long Ba.

However, Yang Jian, do you still wish to uphold your guardianship

He smiled with a complex expression

The light struck Yang Jian, causing him to be knocked to the ground. With a loud thud, his forehead hit the corner of the bed, and blood immediately gushed forth.

Dingxiang exclaimed, "Long Ba, what are you doing?"

Yang Jian looked at him calmly, as if he had anticipated his arrival long ago

Is it half a year? I should be able to reconstitute my primordial spirit. Third sister, you still underestimate your second brother too much, thinking that what I have scattered is merely the residual protective true energy? Your understanding of me is even less than that of an enemy who has fought me to the death.

Perhaps it is because the estrangement has lasted too long? Initially, I could not bear to see his weakness, but after facing him day after day, I have instead become indifferent to it.

That is a small silver crescent-shaped ornament, worn around the neck with a fine silk cord.

In his coma, he could not suppress the bitter smile, "How much power was sealed before going to Kunlun? Fifty percent or more? But just recently, my meridians were severely injured, how can I withstand such a sudden impact? Even if I win the bet, what does it matter? I have regained this power, but this body remains a useless shell, unable to speak or act."

Unable to speak or act all along, it is impossible to stake everything on this one bet

Long Baxi's heart jolted, and he said: "Silver Armor?"

The Three Holy Mothers guided him into the true energy, assisting him in drawing back the chaotic internal breath into the sea of energy, saying: "My second brother possesses profound cultivation; even after suffering such severe injuries back then, he still retains some protective true energy.

He sat down by the bed, his face showing a look of sorrow, and said: "I have always wanted to befriend you, but unfortunately, that hope is becoming increasingly dim. Do you know? My elder brother has passed away, and my only nephew, the young man who accompanied me to find the dilapidated temple last time, is also gone"

I seem to have seen someone carrying it before

We have argued about this matter several times, yet who would have thought that the elder brother... he would go so far as to sacrifice himself and his beloved son, using the Fuxi Water Mirror to set up the Great Array of Annihilation, and even forced me to preside over the array to avenge this blood feud

Now that he has awakened, she has even less courage to face his slightly moved yet complex and inscrutable gaze

Yet, with just one glance, Dingxiang suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity, mixed with a very strange sensation

Elder brother practices Taoist arts, and cannot engage in close combat, let alone kill.

The one-armed man retracted the purple jade staff, smiled slightly, and said: "You actually know that I do not wish to kill you. Did you notice me outside the house? It seems that your magical power has recovered quite a bit."

As the palm touched, a sudden tremor surged within my heart

Three years after Yang Jian was brought home, the Three Holy Mothers first entered this small room

The silver moon is engraved with strange symbols, shimmering with an unusual glow

The entire body feels as if it is being scorched by fire, and as if countless small knives are stabbing and stirring in various places.

His gaze wandered everywhere and fell upon Yang Jian, who was intently examining the ornament in his hand, his expression quite peculiar. After a moment of surprise, he immediately thought: "Yang Jian was once a celestial judge; although his character is exceedingly vile, his skills are not to be underestimated. The items he carries with him might very well be powerful magical tools."

The amnesiac Dingxiang was exceedingly curious about every blade of grass and tree in Liujiacun, so Long Ba had no choice but to become a free tour guide

After a pause, she thought of something and hesitated before saying: "Eighth Prince, Dingxiang, let today's matter end here; you need not inform others."

With a complex mood, he pressed on Yang Jian's left wrist, causing the Three Holy Mothers to be slightly taken aback

Yang Jian trembled, and the one-armed man stared blankly into the dark corner of the room, his voice devoid of inflection, as if recounting someone else's story, yet tinged with an uncontrollable sadness

It was not until a long time later that she understood what that gaze truly meant, but by then, it was already too late

Although the true essence barely protected the heart meridian, his internal energy was in such disarray that it was almost beyond recovery

Although Long Ba despised him to the utmost, he could not help but panic, taking Ding Xiang to seek help from the Three Holy Mothers

Without further hesitation, he said: "Dingxiang, since you like it, I will take it for you."

Yang Jian fell into a coma for eleven consecutive days. On the twelfth day, the chaotic vital energy was finally brought under control with the guidance of the Three Holy Mothers

The Fuxi Water Mirror is a relic of the ancient deities. Although no one knows its purpose, it is not considered a weapon of harm in itself

He turned to look at Yang Jian and the *illustration* book. In Yang Jian's gaze, there was only calmness and patience, as if he were waiting for him to continue speaking

A wave of metallic sweetness surged in my throat, and I finally coughed up blood

He stepped forward to support Yang Jian, noticing the pallor on his face, accompanied by a dim yet bitter smile. It was clearly a visage he had never seen before, yet it left a profound impression, rendering him momentarily speechless.

Although one may endure some hardships, there will be no concern for one's life

The staff was raised, and thick smoke rose from beneath the feet, enveloping the one-armed man back into the darkness, arriving suddenly and departing without any sign.

The voice of the one-armed man continued to come calmly: "In six months, the formation will be fully completed, and I must avenge my elder brother's last wish. True Monarch, although I had promised not to seek revenge on your younger sister until I defeat you, now, I have no choice."

However, is it not a bit too cruel? Having loved so passionately, now to completely forget it all?

The friend I have always wanted to make in my life can only become my greatest enemy

Long Ba stared at her in a daze, then lowered his head and said apologetically: "I am sorry, San Sheng Mu, I did not mean to hurt him."

"You need to be gentler, I'm already bleeding."

Furrowed brows in deep contemplation

The silver armor... that person seems to be wearing silver armor... but that's not right, it's not like they are performing in a play, who would wear armor for no reason?

Long Ba was anxious and said, "Do you like it? Alright, I will help you take it off."

Is this child here to visit Chenxiang? Young and full of vitality, it seems that the initial decision was indeed not mistaken

A person outside shouted: "Lilac, lilac!"

Although the heavens showed mercy, after the divine axe cleaved Mount Huashan, it unexpectedly severed itself, allowing the lilac to be reborn

She looked at the person curiously and said, "That's strange, hey, do I know you?"

After becoming thoroughly familiar with the entire village, she suddenly developed a keen interest in the Liu residence where she was staying

Only the Fourth Princess, Dingxiang, has died and been reborn, and during this journey, he has never heard Chenshang and the others mention it; he has almost forgotten this once-hated enemy.

Dingxiang curiously leaned closer to take a look and called out, "Hey." Yang Jian opened his eyes and looked at her, momentarily taken aback

However, I hope you are worth it; in that battle, you had no chance of victory

Taking it from Dingxiang's hand, I couldn't help but exclaim softly, feeling that within this object there was a faint yet peculiar flow of true essence, appearing and then vanishing.

However, her resentment towards Yang Jian is bound to be intense. If she were to face Yang Jian, it is likely that she would truly recall everything...

The Eighth Prince Long Ba and Ding Xiang arrived at Liu Family Village for a short stay, and the two pairs of young people enjoyed themselves immensely

Having been a deity of justice for many years, he possesses far more secrets than an ordinary person.

Long Baxi's heart was slightly at ease, and he asked, "Is he in serious trouble?"

I arrived just in time to assist him in consolidating his internal energy

In an instant, her heart felt empty, and she could not bear to look at Yang Jian's lonely face as he lay unconscious.

Still holding the purple jade staff, the one-armed man silently appeared at the foot of the bed, his wrist flicking, the tip of the staff already pressed against Yang Jian's throat

Recalling the infatuation of Dingxiang with Chenxiang back in the day, Long Ba broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly grasping Dingxiang's arm, and gently said: "What armor? This is just a silver moon ornament, isn't it? Dingxiang, if you like it, I can make you ten or eight of them later, and you can change them every day for fun, how about that? Come on, shall we go out first?"

As soon as Xisuo left Yang Jian, the silver ornament shone brightly, and Long Ba felt a sudden numbness in his hand, as if struck by electricity, causing him to stagger backward

When Miss She loses her temper, everyone can only indulge her in her antics at the residence

Inside the room, there was a bed, a table, and a chair, all exceedingly simple.

Her curiosity piqued, she disregarded her appointment with Long Ba to go play in the mountains and made her way directly to the backyard.

In the brief moment before losing consciousness, Yang Jian realized that the situation this time was only worse than before

She urged her vital energy and pressed it against Yang Jian's chest to transfer it in

From this day on, the cabin returned to its previous desolation

But now, I have become so emaciated and weak that even my heartbeat is slow and labored

Although my mother has always refused to see him, after all, a mother and child share a deep bond; if she were to find out, it would surely cause her great sorrow and distress

Recently, the chaotic vital energy caused by Yao Ji has begun to wreak havoc once again

A man in a dark robe lay on the bed, his brow furrowed as if enduring some pain, yet his expression remained as calm as water, devoid of joy or sorrow

Long Ba waited for a long time for Ding Xiang, but there was no sign of her. Upon inquiry, he learned that she had gone to the small house where Yang Jian resided
