Shi Zhongyu couldn't bear Yuan Jinting's death because of this incident, so he tried to persuade her.
"Shiraishi Masato and the others have tried their best. Without them, Zhongxiu might have disappeared long ago.
When Zhongxiu was conscious, he told me that he did it voluntarily and no one forced him.
Fellow Taoist Jin Ting, you don’t have to..."
Yuan Jinting smiled faintly:
"Shi Zhongyu! I can deceive others, but I can't deceive myself.
In my life, I only act based on my heart and have nothing to do with other people.
Since you are here, be a witness for me!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a short sword.
This sword is one foot long and one inch wide. The blade is straight and the blade is like autumn frost.
"I have refined and polished this sword every day for the past year. It contains the belief in my heart, and it is called 'Oath'!
Today, I will fulfill my promise with this sword."
As Yuan Jinting spoke, she turned her right hand, put the tip of the sword at her heart, and stabbed it in with all her strength.
'laugh-!'
The one-foot dagger was completely inserted into his chest, and the tip of the sword came out from behind.
"Ah yo——!"
Shi Zhongyu couldn't help but screamed.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and a figure appeared in the tent following the golden light.
Lan Qi and Shi Zhongyu exclaimed in unison:
"Uncle Ruyi!"
"True Lord Ruyi!"
Zhang Ke ignored the two of them and walked to Yuan Jinting.
Holding the 'Oath' dagger between the index fingers of his left hand, he pulled it out directly, and a pool of blood burst out.
At the same time, the five fingers of Zhang Ke's right hand flashed with platinum light, and a circle of light suddenly hit Yuan Jinting's body.
The circle of white-gold aura instantly turned into a gray-white turbid river water, and Yuan Jinting's body was directly submerged by the river water.
Later, Lan Li saw countless figures of Yuan Jinting appearing in various places in the river.
Zhang Ke suddenly opened his eyes, and two white lights flashed from his eyes.
Without any hesitation, he directly reached into the river with his right hand and lifted Yuan Jinting up.
The characteristics derived from Zhang Ke’s magical power [First Attack] can be returned to three seconds ago.
But in the past, this feature was not able to be used on other people.
After having an epiphany in the 'San Yuan Array', I have a new understanding of this magical power.
Only then did she push Yuan Jinting into the river of time and pull out the Yuan Jinting who was three seconds ago.
However, he would not have been able to do this if Yuan Jinting had not been weak in strength and was on the verge of death, without the slightest resistance.
But it is conceivable that this magical power will definitely shine in the future.
Lan Li and Shi Zhongyu's eyes couldn't help but widen. They were shocked to find that the sword wound on Yuan Jinting's chest no longer existed.
They speculated that Zhang Ke used his magical power to rescue Yuan Jinting.
But why is it that even the damage to the skirt is missing? It's as if no sword has ever penetrated here.
"Send her here!"
Zhang Ke had no time to speak as his whole body suddenly dispersed into spiritual light and disappeared.
Just as the rippling river of time was about to dissipate, the 'Oath' dagger also flew out and fell into Yuan Jinting's hands.
But this sword presents a strange state. It seems to be between reality and nothingness, sometimes blurred, sometimes completely manifest.
Yuan Jinting, who fell into the river of time, had a sword stuck in her chest, but Yuan Jinting three seconds ago was not hit by the sword.
Therefore, a paradox arises at this moment.
Does the sword 'Oath' actually exist?
By chance, the 'Oath' sword containing Yuan Jinting's belief turned into a flying sword.
A unique flying sword that carries the 'oath'.
At the same time, a critical moment has also arrived on the other side.
...
In the alchemy room.
Shi Zhongxiu was tied to a stone table, and Baishi Zhenren, Helian Chunfeng and others gathered in front of the stone table.
Master Shiraishi took a short blade with cold light in his hand and slowly placed it on Shi Zhongxiu's chest.
The tip of the knife was pressed down slightly, and the skin on Shi Zhongxiu's chest was cut open like paper.
Master Shiraishi took a deep breath. This was the first time he had attacked a human like this.
After a slight hesitation, his right hand stabbed downwards.
“Buzz——!”
A white-gold light flashed across Shi Zhongxiu's body, and the short blade that was about to pierce bounced up.
"Hmm??This is??"
A flash of light appeared, and then, Zhang Ke's figure came together.
"Ah! True Lord Ruyi??"
When several people saw Zhang Ke, they were slightly surprised and quickly bowed and saluted.
Zhang Ke's face was as heavy as water and he let out a 'hum' in his nose.
With a flick of the index finger of his left hand, the short blade in Shiraishi's hand was immediately disintegrated into countless particles.
There was a buzzing sound in Mr. Shiraishi's mind.
There was a sudden panic in his heart. Zhang Ke's move was obviously extremely dissatisfied with himself.
"True...True Lord???"
Zhang Ke stared at the people in front of him with white eyes.
Baishi, Helian Chunfeng, Qingyun, Zidonglai, Red Eyebrow, Crimson Red, and Crimson Hongxia, five men and two women, are all the best among this group of people.
Using his spiritual mind, he observed the condition of Shi Zhongxiu on the stone table and asked, "Is this Shi Zhongxiu?"
Master Baishi whispered: "Yes!"
When Zhang Ke saw Shi Zhongyu just now, he had a bad guess in his mind.
"How is the mission to rescue Japanese corpses going?"
Master Baishi glanced at Zhang Ke and briefly explained the formation of the Japanese corpse.
Zhang Ke said "oh" and asked:
"Shiraishi, you mean that you can only find the cause of the formation of the Sun Corpse, but there is no way to cure the Sun Corpse, right?"
Bai Shi felt a shiver in his heart. In the past, Zhang Ke used to call him senior brother, but now he calls him by his first name. It feels a little bad.
He replied cautiously:
"There is no way to cure the Japanese zombies yet, but with Shi Zhongxiu, we should be able to have a deeper understanding of the Japanese zombies."
At this moment, three people walked in outside the tent, Shi Zhongyu, Lan Li and Yuan Jinting.
Everyone didn't know that Yuan Jinting had committed suicide just now, they just thought they came here after hearing the news.
It's just a little strange why all three of them look so distracted.
The most strange thing is that a sword intention emerged from Yuan Jinting's body. This sword intention is not sharp but has an indescribable power.
'When did Yuan Jinting turn into a sword cultivator?'
Everyone who observed this scene had a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Zhang Ke on the side continued to ask Master Baishi.
"What are you going to do?"
Master Shiraishi swallowed his saliva and felt inexplicably panicked.
Even though Zhang Ke is usually as gentle as a kitten, once he puts on a serious face, no one in Yiqi Sect is afraid of him.
"I want to find out from Shi Zhongxiu a way to cure the Japanese zombies."
Zhang Ke continued: "How to do it specifically?"
Master Baishi gritted his teeth and said:
"Shi Zhongxiu is about to lose his mind. I want to cut him open while he is still alive..."
Shi Zhongyu's heart trembled and he hissed:
"No, stop talking!"
Zhang Ke slowly walked up to Master Baishi and asked in a calm tone:
"Why do you do this?"
Shiraishi Masato explained:
"Shi Zhongxiu is about to lose his mind. I..."
Zhang Ke shook his head and continued:
"I mean why experiment on living people?"
Master Baishi's heart moved, and he understood why Zhang Ke was angry with him.
On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the reason would be easier to deal with, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Shi Zhongxiu has basically lost his mind. He can't be considered alive now."
Zhang Kening said: "Has Shi Zhongxiu completely lost his mind?"
Shiraishi's breath stopped for a moment:
"That's right. He can only stay awake for a few minutes a day now, and he will probably lose his mind completely in a few days."
"That means he is still sane now, right?"
Master Shiraishi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes!"
Then he turned to look at Shi Zhongyu and said:
"Shi Zhongyu was also present at the time. Shi Zhongxiu agreed with our approach and made some requests."
Shi Zhongyu whispered: "Zhenjun! Zhongxiu..."
Zhang Ke waved his hand to stop Shi Zhongyu from speaking.
"You are a swordsman, and I am a fish. Even if Shi Zhongxiu disagrees, will you give up?"
Then he added: "Also, why did Jin Ting commit suicide?"
Shi Zhongyu argued:
"Zhenjun, Shi Zhongxiu is hopeless. If a method to cure the Japanese zombies can be found from him, he will deserve to die.
Countless people will be grateful to him in the future."
He didn't feel that what he did was wrong, and he felt slightly unhappy.
Although the other people did not speak, they also showed the same look.
Zhang Ke sneered and said:
"Then what if we can't find a cure from Shi Zhongxiu?
Who is your next target?"
Zhang Ke said, pointing at Master Baishi and saying:
"If the next target is you, will you be willing to sacrifice yourself?"
Master Baishi's face became solemn and he said seriously:
"If it were me, I would give it all."
Zhang Ke gently clapped his palms and praised:
"Well said, everyone has heard it. I didn't force him, he did it voluntarily."
Continued:
"I think your method is good, and I want to give it a try."
Master Baishi and others were stunned, not understanding what Zhang Ke meant by these words.
Just listen to Zhang Ke said:
“Since we need people who retain their sanity to be the experimenters, let’s start with you, Shiraishi.
This matter is not difficult to handle, as long as you let Shi Zhongxiu take a bite."
Master Shiraishi was shocked. He was just making a statement, there was no need to take it seriously.
'this......'
Zhang Ke continued:
"I will cut you open alive and try to find a way to cure the Japanese zombies before you die.
If that still doesn't work, aren't there still seven people here?
If it still doesn’t work, wait until you return to the Blue Realm and try it with your relatives. You will eventually find a way if you try too much."
Everyone present was shocked and frightened to death. Master Shiraishi lost his voice and said:
"True Lord! How can you do this? How is this different from an animal?"
Zhang Ke grabbed Bai Shi's collar with his right hand and lifted his feet off the ground.
He said sharply: "You also know that this is the work of animals, but how can you do it to other people?"
Master Shiraishi defended himself tongue-tied:
"He...he's not..."
Zhang Ke opened his white eyes and stared at Master Baishi and said:
"Are you trying to say that Shi Zhongxiu is not from the Azure Realm, so there is no need to worry?"
Shi Zhongyu was watching from the side. Hearing this, his heart was shocked and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shi Zhongxiu.
