Monarch of Evernight: Never see you again

bsp; Various scenery appeared around Song Zining, including city streets, streets and buildings, officials and people, nobility and common people, walking towards the bustle, and countless floating leaves densely woven rain curtains, rustling down, as if in the golden autumn. Song Zining's expression was incomprehensible. He stood in a misty and grand scene, and he seemed to be floating and wanting to hide.

A thin line of blood emerged from the distance, twisting and turning, and in an instant it was in front of Song Zining, beheading him!

As soon as the blood line came out, the prosperous scenery of the floating world immediately felt like a natural disaster, the earth shook and the sky tilted, and people and cars fled to avoid it. Countless floating leaves moved to the same place on their own like a strong wind and rain, blocking the blood line.

However, the blood line meandered forward, cutting countless floating leaves in half along the way. It was as if someone used this fantasy city as a real battlefield, charging into the battle and killing fiercely.

Countless floating leaves only delayed the blood line a little. It passed through the city, rose and fell, and chopped down on Song Zining head-on again!

At this time, Qianye was too late. He hastily activated Void Blink, but he had just passed through the illusory city. He saw that the top of the blood line was still more than ten meters ahead. He gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the blood line!

With the strength of his body, the blood line easily cut through the flesh and blood, sinking deeply into it. In the blink of an eye, Qianye's hands were bleeding profusely. Fortunately, dark gold runes suddenly appeared on the hand bones, which blocked the blood line and prevented any deeper cuts. Otherwise, with just one blow, half of Qianye's palm would be cut off.

When you hold the blood line, it is tough and heavy, as if you are holding a heavy force of the Force. It is hard to say whether it can be pulled apart, even if it is cut off. Qianye panicked, his blood energy exploded, and he pulled back hard, not caring whether the blood line would cut off his hand.

The bloodline was pulled back by Qianye, and his attack on Song Zining was in vain.

"Yeye Tong!" Qianye shouted. How could he not feel that this blood line came from Ye Tong's hand?

The line of blood came from a thousand meters away and arrived in an instant. Her method of killing the virtual image was as if it were real. Her method had become even more powerful. I don’t know if it’s because she has awakened a little more, or because of the soul-replenishing power of the sea lotus.

After a moment of stalemate, the blood line finally slowly retracted, and her hum could be heard faintly in the air. Song Zining narrowly escaped death, his face was pale, and he inevitably broke out in a cold sweat.

Qianye's hand was still bleeding profusely. Ye Tong's blood energy is obscure and powerful, and it also has the intention of suppressing it. Even Qianye's recovery power cannot quickly overcome it.

Qianye held down the wound on his left hand and stared at where the blood line came from, in preparation for another attack. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, Song Zining might have turned into a corpse.

Yetong's voice finally came from the distance: "Come here."

"What about him?" Qianye asked in a deep voice.

"His fortune will be good this time."

Qianye felt a little relieved and signaled to Song Zining to stay away quickly, while he walked towards the edge of the windy and snowy continent.

Walking along the way, he did not see Ye Tong's figure. Qianye looked at the vast surroundings with a desolate feeling of trekking through the wilderness, until the battleship where Ye Tong lived appeared in front of him.

The stone house where Calinan lived was empty, and it was unknown where the people had gone.

Qianye continued to walk towards the battleship when suddenly his whole body was shaken and he stared blankly ahead.

On the top of the battleship, stood the figure that would forever be engraved in his heart.

Yetong did not avoid seeing him this time, and seemed to want to communicate with him face to face. Qianye didn't know whether to be happy or worried about such a change, but the chill deep in his heart gradually became stronger.

Qianye took a deep breath, calmed down, jumped up, stood behind Ye Tong, and looked in the direction of her gaze.

In front of Night Eye, a terrifying void storm is slowly forming. The airspace there has become a mass of surging darkness, completely blocking the distant scene, and through the darkness, what you can always see is the true void. In the darkness, countless spatial gaps are forming and intertwining with each other. The space here is so fragile that it is torn apart at will by the force storm of the void.

Thanks to its attributes, once this kind of void storm is generated, it will basically rise upwards. It will either penetrate the protective layer of the land mass and truly return to the void, or it will gradually weaken and disappear. If it falls to the ground in the early stages of formation, it will be a real disaster.

Qianye moved his gaze to the battleship at his feet, feeling slightly reassured. Although the void storm is strong, this Duke-class battleship should be able to withstand it. Besides, with Ye Tong's current ability, it is not impossible to travel through the Void Storm alone.

"Where's Zhu Ji?" Ye Tong spoke first.

"I'm going to the Song Dynasty. There may be a battle. It's not convenient to take her with me, so I put her to sleep in the Hall of Valor."

"Are you brave enough to go deep into the heart of the empire alone, or are you simply not afraid of death?"

There was a touch of sarcasm in Ye Tong's words. Of course Qianye could hear it, but he didn't know how to answer. He smiled bitterly: "I have to go..."

"Oh, I have to go. So you helped Song Zining get the position of Valve Leader?"

"...No."

Yetong finally turned around, looked into Qianye's eyes, and said, "Do you really think that no one in the empire can kill you, or are you confident that someone will protect you for some reason?"

This question was even more puzzling. Qianye didn’t understand what she was talking about and asked doubtfully: "Who will protect me? Zhao Clan?"

When he thought about it, the most likely person was Zhao Clan. But now the floating land battlefield is tight, the Zhao clan is almost out of town, and the important people are not in the empire, how can there be any spare power to save themselves? Qianye never thought about relying on the Zhao family to save him from the beginning. And besides Zhao Clan, there is even less possibility of anyone else.

"You know more than one Zhao clan."

Qianye was stunned. Among the younger generation of the empire, he had several friends, but not to mention that individuals could never influence family decisions. The Wei family of the Far East did not have enough weight in such matters. The families of Li Kuanglan and Ji Tianqing There might be some way, but Qianye didn't feel that his relationship with them was so good.

Since Ye Tong asked this question repeatedly, Qianye answered seriously: "I think that with the Void Flash and the Original Spear, I can definitely use the one-hit-and-go tactic. There is basically no one below the level of the God General. If he can stop me, even if he is a **** general, I can die with him if he is forced to do so. The **** generals of the empire are all in high positions, or they are guarding one side, or they have important tasks, so no one will come to fight me. In the worst case scenario, I should be able to escape. The Hall of Valor is waiting in the void, and unless the empire uses a large fleet, it will be even more unstoppable in the void."

Qianye explained very seriously, but Ye Tong's eyes were still cold and indifferent, "I don't know if you really don't know or if you are pretending not to know. But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

"You, what do you mean?" Qianye felt a chill growing in his heart. The alienation in Ye Tong's words became more and more obvious.

"Why don't you ask me why I want to kill Song Zining?"

Qianye said: "You didn't want to kill him. If you really killed him, I couldn't keep my hand and he wouldn't survive. As for the reason... is it because he persuaded me to separate from you?"

Yetong smiled faintly and said, "Have we been together since I awakened?"

"No, but it will be a matter of time. I have always thought so. If you want to climb the Holy Mountain, you have to give me some time."

The coldness in Ye Tong's eyes finally melted slightly, and he said: "You have done a good job, and the promise you gave me was not just words. Regarding the promotion of combat power, perhaps the entire Yong Ye No one can do it better than you. If I give you time, maybe... maybe one day, you can really accompany me back to the Holy Mountain."

Qianye remained silent, staring at Ye Tong, afraid that she would say the next sentence. But now that the words have come to this point, what difference does it make whether or not they are spoken out later?

But thinking of Ye Tong's sudden change of attitude, Qianye still asked: "Does your decision have something to do with Song Zining?"

"Some relationships are not entirely due to him. Do you still remember the sea lotus flower you gave me? It completely awakened me and restored all my memories. This is not a good thing for you. Back then That night eye, the past was like a big dream to me, but now I wake up from it."

"Sea Lotus..." Qianye sighed softly and said, "But I got it, so I have no choice but to give it to you."

Yeyetong said: "I know, so you are stupid."

Qianye forced a smile and said, "Can you tell me what Zining did?"

"It's in the past, nothing can be changed, and you don't need to know. If you insist on an answer, just ask him directly. But the result may not be so pleasant."

There was a hint of bitterness in Qianye's eyes, "I have to know what separated you and me, right?"

"Time."

"Time?"

"Time."

Qianye understands this reason but cannot understand it at the same time. Perhaps among all the answers, this was the only one that prevented him from working harder.

After a long silence, Qianye said: "You know, in order to finally send you to the Holy Mountain, I can't go any faster. If I only look at the front of my eyes, I can break through to the Blood Duke in a short time, but when it comes After that, it will be difficult to move forward. For the Holy Mountain, the Duke is just a pebble at the foot of the mountain, so I said, you have to give me time, and I don’t think I will let you wait too long. Imperial Yongye, even if you include witches, there are probably only three or five people of your generation. Isn’t this enough? Can’t you give me the confidence to wait for a little longer?”

Qianye’s tone was calm, but the slightly trembling voice betrayed him.

Yetong looked at him and suddenly sighed and said: "Normally speaking, it's enough, it's completely enough. But now that I've fully awakened, I can't use normality to measure it. The time has come and I can't do anything anymore. Wait.”

"What time?"

Yeye Tong hesitated for a long time and then said: "The time when the door to the new world opens is also the time when the new era arrives."

"New world, gate?" This was something Qianye had never expected at all. He had never heard of the New World.

"It's normal that you don't know. Now this news is only circulating among a small number of high-level officials. But you will know it soon."

"What does the new era have to do with you and me?" Qianye's voice became louder. He has made a desperate move and no longer hides his scruples.

"The new era has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. It is an irresistible call for all of us. When I step into the door of the new world, I will... I will become another person, I don’t know what will happen.”

"Just like..."

"Just like this awakening."

Qianye was a little hard to understand, but he finally saw the hesitation and pain hidden in Ye Tong's eyes. He took a step forward, stopped in front of Ye Tong, and said, "Can't you... not go?"

"No." Ye Tong flatly refused, then took a deep breath, put his hand on Qianye's heart, felt the violent pulse of his blood core, and said, "So, you go, I should go too From now on, I will never see you again."

Like a basin of ice water being poured down on his head, the bone-chilling chill made Qianye's whole body stiff and even made him unable to say goodbye. All the past flashed through my mind in an instant.

His thoughts were frozen, just like his frozen heart. When he looked up again, there was no longer snow, dangerous peaks and void storms in front of him. He had already left the edge of the landmass.

And he didn't even know how he got out.

At the end of the East China Sea, Ye Tong never moved until Qianye's figure completely disappeared. She stood quietly, meditating quietly, as if she wanted to stand like this until the end of the world.
