Chapter 230: Trusting the Wrong Person All One's Life, Breaking Gold and Shattering Jade, A Liuli Life
Bu Shixian's situation was dire, her two arms or rather wings torn off by Song Wuqiu. The enemy's True Qi inside her body was wreaking havoc, her combat strength diminished from full to less than ten percent, and what's more, the explosion of the Divine Thunder was finally upon her, with her back facing it.
"Go, my dear friend."
With a wave of her hand from Song Wuqiu, she was sent flying towards Meng Yu, and in the next moment, she was caught by Meng Yu. Then, the ten Divine Thunders finally exploded, unleashing boundless power. Fortunately, Hua Miaochai and the Grand Carp Immortal, with their Spirit Talismans and a hastily summoned Long River Nine Bends Array combined with their own True Qi, managed to block the explosion of the dual Five Elements Divine Thunders, directing the force of the blast upwards.
A beam of light shot up tumultuously, breaking through the top of the cavern and reaching for the clouds. The news that the Five Metal Pills had been accidentally wiped out while enjoying their tea and playing with Divine Thunder was now a thing of the past, but the situation had turned even worse.
After throwing Bu Shixian towards Meng Yu, Song Wuqiu's body moved like a wisp of green smoke, reaching behind the two Immortals.
"Die, you scum!"
Hu Qingquan reacted swiftly, already understanding the situation, but this time, she didn't back down; instead, she charged directly at Song Wuqiu.
"Hehe, False Core, also, you've been seducing my man every day..."
Song Wuqiu let out a light laugh, and in the following moment, a flash of sword light.
Hu Qingquan's body lay on the ground like a corpse, and with the second strike, her newly grown fox tail was severed and sliced into eighteen pieces in midair.
No matter what, Hu Qingquan was a false Golden Core, but also a Golden Core. Yet, she couldn't withstand even one move from Song Wuqiu!
And Song Wuqiu remained completely unscathed!
This was her full combat strength, even though she usually only claimed to be slightly stronger than Bu Shixian!
The explosion of the Divine Thunder was finally directed outside by the two monsters in control of the Formation, but in the next moment, Song Wuqiu appeared behind the two monsters.
Her longsword flicked like autumn leaves, silently sweeping across the bodies of Hua Miaochai and the Grand Carp Immortal, who fell to the ground in humiliation and helplessness.
As for the Spirit Talismans on Hua Miaochai's body, she had used them first on wrapping the premium Divine Thunders.
The ten Divine Thunders she had carefully selected for Song Wuqiu boasted the greatest power, like ten large watermelons!
Thus, Hua Miaochai and the Grand Carp Immortal fell to the ground, grievously wounded.
The wind began to stir once more, the droplet finally falling, while Song Wuqiu, wielding the Phoenix Tree sword, watched Meng Yu with a beaming smile, this ultimate villain.
The Pear Blossom was still as cheerful as the spring breeze, untroubled even if no one admired its beauty.
The Sky-splitting Sword Sect had gathered nineteen Golden Cores, concealed even more power, yet the one they always managed to hurt, effortlessly playing with reserves not fully spent, was that young man.
Her lover.
Since entering the Moon-Watching Sect, through eight months and numerous opportunities just within reach, including when strong enemies pressed hard, she never colluded from within or without, but waited quietly, facing each other calmly, even entering a romance, enchanting the great villain so thoroughly, including promises to become sworn sisters with Bai Qianqian and so on.
She continued to wait until the very end, when she had a legitimate reason to leave, gathering all the Golden Cores with the sect leader. Then she incited Hua Miaochai to bring out the Divine Thunder, beginning with a lethal strike to the throat!
The small man in front of her was like a startled little creature, fearing to run but worried that his aunt and sisters couldn't escape.
"Is this it?"
Her eyebrows were slender and firm, her features sharp, exuding an aura of efficiency with a touch of softness, yet in her eyes burned a fierce flame!
A true swordsman always prepares well, plans carefully, and then executes with a fatal blow.
"Is this it?"
She suddenly burst into roaring laughter.
"You, when you sleep with me, need to prepare Spirit Talismans, that 'whatever' spiritual Cultivation Technique, and maybe a small Teleportation Technique, always ready to run away, right? Oh yes, when I made my move just now, I was actually worried you had some trump card that would scare me to death!"
She laughed so hard that tears nearly spilled, yet the hand holding her sword remained utterly steady.
"Isn't that right? It shows I wasn't wrong to be cautious."
Meng Yu's voice was a bit cold.
"Yes, you did very well, extremely well."
Song Wuqiu gazed at Meng Yu, the boy who stirred her heart.
She wasn't as strong as she had imagined; every day living with the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber within her was torture.
She occasionally prayed to the heavenly gods and various powerful beings, vowing to repay whomever could free her from her agony.
Then, a young man appeared. He heard of her injuries and gave her six Spirit Talismans, allowing her to recover from her desperate struggle to cling to life.
And he was so young, handsome, passionate, and a sword training genius!
She had always been fascinated by talent, never imagining there was a swordsman more gifted than her!
Thus, she wholeheartedly embarked on a pursuit. Who said a mature Golden Core beauty couldn't chase after a youthful, talented, adorable little swordsman?
What made her crazily in love with him was that he was like her opposite. He was as cunning as a fox, always skeptical of her, and to this day, she hadn't uncovered his true depths.
She adored this sly fellow, just like a fox.
Right, he was her mirror image, as naive in his twenties as she had been, believing in the equality of humans and demons, living in bliss; how wonderful.
"Why did you do all this?"
The man asked.
From afar, little demons were already loudly inquiring about what had happened inside. Then, both people spoke in unison, telling them everything was fine, there was no need to come in. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
They couldn't let them in!
Four Golden Cores were still writhing on the ground, only a sword strike away from death, and the little Imp that rushed in was only delivering itself to its demise. Its only use, perhaps, was to give Meng Yu a chance to escape.
"You guess?"
"To expel demons and defend the Way?"
Clutching his teeth, Meng Yu said viciously.
"Right."
Song Wuqiu smiled slyly in response, "It seems we are indeed of one mind. It's just that, knowing this, why would you help them? Don't you understand what will happen once the Demon Race grows strong?"
"I'm still young. I just want to experience love."
Meng Yu's words made Song Wuqiu pause, and then she burst into unrestrained laughter.
This answer was just too good, outrageously so!
"Okay, stop squirming around, trying to recover your Vital Energy to counterattack. Don't be like this. I never intended to kill you all in the first place."
Song Wuqiu kicked Hu Qingquan toward Meng Yu, then secured Hua Miaochai and the Grand Carp Immortal in place to prevent these two from self-destructing.
"The four of them, their powers are now wasted by me. To recover would take at least decades of convalescence. There are spies in the sect, the news won't be kept secret for long. When the time comes, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect will retaliate with full force. Ah Yu, take them and flee now. You should be able to escape."
"You're not going to kill me?"
Meng Yu's eyelids drooped.
At this moment, Song Wuqiu controlled everything. Her swordsmanship was the most powerful Meng Yu had ever seen among the Golden Core level; not to mention Meng Yu's Four Great Sword Intents, even if the Orchid Fairy and Master Lihua joined forces, Meng Yu didn't feel there was any chance of winning.
Her power deeply alarmed Meng Yu.
"How could I bear to kill you? I have never thought of hurting you, not even the slightest bit," said Song Wuqiu with a smile, as she looked at the first love of her life and shook her head.
"Even with them, if they were in danger, I would risk my life to save them."
"But you hurt them."
"Because those are the lives of billions of people from the Western Wastes, one could even say, the countless lives of the Central Plains."
Song Wuqiu's eyes were resolute as she faced Meng Yu.
"You and Bai Qianqian are the best leaders. Generous, fair, compassionate, and self-disciplined. With you leading them, the Demon Race will flourish, and even humans would join you, like those Loose Cultivators.
The most terrifying enemy is always the warm spring breeze, not the Cold Wind. You will turn enemies into friends. You and Bai Qianqian will gather many from the Human Race to join you, rallying more and more people, and then unifying the Western Wastes, it's only a matter of time.
But let me ask you this, do you eat meat?"
Meng Yu's lips twitched.
In the Moon-Watching Sect, there's a taboo: those who consume humans will be put to death, but what about eating demonic beasts or Demonic beasts?
You can lead people of different skin colors to slaughter another race, but can you forever deny that those beings are people?
Equally, Meng Yu now never eats rabbits, because he truly can't bear to!
"Ah Yu, I'm truly grateful to have met you. Actually, I had many things prepared to tease you with. Like telling you about my past, I was confident I could persuade you. Like lying that we had a child together and asking if you'd want to retire with me. Like saying we would meet again in decades or a century, then heading somewhere else to watch you make those difficult choices."
Her eyes widened as she looked at Meng Yu and those demons, a tear rolling down from the corner of her eye.
"Bu Xiaoniao, you're my true friend, I'm sorry."
"Huahua, you are so kind at heart; don't be deceived anymore."
"Yu Paopao, I'm truly envious of your carefree nature."
"Fox, from now on, I'll entrust my man to you. Ah Yu, I vouch for her, she truly wishes for you to sleep with her. Bless you both."
After uttering these words, she looked affectionately at Meng Yu again, and to her friends, even those lovely, open-hearted, and cheerful demons on the distant mountain who she adored.
She truly loved this place to death, but now she had to destroy all of it.
"I'm sorry."
With her sword Phoenix Tree held across, her head fell to the ground.
She didn't even want to, didn't think it worth it, and didn't wish to explain to Meng Yu why she did it.
Let them think of her as a traitor, maybe it's for the better this way.
Song Wuqiu, the prodigious young girl from the Qinghe Song Family, disciple of the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall, a Nascent Soul Seed, after figuring out the secrets of the Moon-Watching Sect, she chose the perfect moment to severely injure the four major Golden Cores of the Moon-Watching Sect and yet she spared their lives.
With her victory secured and her triumph absolute, she instructed Meng Yu, "Take everyone and escape." Then, she took her own life with her sword.
There is no perfect solution in this world to stay true to both the higher powers and to one's beloved.
And at this moment, what Meng Yu remembered was the sight of a female PE teacher supporting her lame husband, leaving her ex-husband behind in his lonely and pained demeanor.
The man just stood there dazed, then slapped himself forcefully more than ten times.
He must not regret it today, will not turn back, but his heart, just like Meng Yu's at this moment, felt truly damn awful!
The two things I regret the least are, one is following you, and the other is leaving you!
