Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled: "Ever since I packed up Ren Li and saw the birth of a new singer in the academy, it was time for me to leave. It was the boy Wei Cheng who extended my life. The strength I have now is also that boy.
For me."
"Who has never died since ancient times? I have educated dozens of generations of students and have no regrets. Principal Ye, Dean Gu, this time it is time for me to repay my students."
Ye Shan was silent for a moment and then said: "If you retain the life energy of the Blood Light Staff, it will not be a problem to live for another hundred and eighty years."
"unnecessary."
Zhang Yang interrupted Ye Shan and said: "Life is about essence, not eternity. Principal Ye, I witnessed your growth back then. Now that you have passed the age of knowing your destiny, if you continue to live, you will go downhill."
"Instead of being an unknown old immortal in the war of all realms, it is better to use my power now to save heroes and let my students shine. Isn't this more in line with my identity as a teacher?"
Seeing that Gu Mi seemed to be about to speak, Zhang Yang said again: "Dean Gu, you can't be impulsive. Yin Sheng Wu University has to rely on you!"
"After I leave, my students...please take care of you two!"
After he finished speaking, a burst of rich life energy emerged from Zhang Yang's cane in an instant!
The energy of the blood light staff gathered and turned into abundant vitality, which poured into Wei Cheng's body.
At this moment, Wei Cheng, who was originally weak, opened his eyes and saw Zhang Yang who was stripping away his life force. The first thing he did was not stop him, but comfort him.
"Lao Zhang, you have changed. Didn't you teach me not to act so impulsively?"
Zhang Yang immediately laughed and cursed after hearing this: "Fuck you, you entered the Demonic Continent alone, you have no right to criticize me!"
Wei Cheng did not stop Zhang Yang.
The moment he witnessed the glow of the Blood Light Staff, Wei Cheng knew that everything was irreversible.
The main reason why Zhang Yang was able to survive after the battle with Ren Li was because of the abundant vitality in his body.
The hidden wounds accumulated from overcoming tribulations, as well as the forcible explosion of combat power beyond the boundaries... and other hidden dangers were all suppressed by the powerful vitality.
Although Zhang Yang's body is no longer strong enough to support a breakthrough in realm, if he doesn't explode in strength, he can live for another thirty or forty years without any problem.
But this is obviously not the result he wants.
Therefore, at this moment, Wei Cheng did not stop Zhang Yang.
"Wei Cheng, do you remember what I told you?"
"……of course I remember!"
Although his body was still in a weak state, Wei Cheng still used his remaining strength to firmly grasp Zhang Yang's hand.
Lao Zhang... is probably leaving!
The blood light staff is essentially an extraordinary means of gaining power at the cost of extracting life force. If Zhang Yang only uses the green light staff and does not actively burn his own life, he may still be able to live for decades without any problem.
But at this moment, Zhang Yang still chose to use the power of the Blood Light Staff. Even though he knew that using this power would lead to death, he still resolutely rushed to the front line to rescue his students.
"I buried the spring with the summer and turned it into a withered stick. I hope that thousands of years later, someone can make this withered stick reappear in the world. This is also proof of my existence."
Recalling the fake graves in the academy's cemetery that Zhang Yang had taken him to see, Wei Cheng recited that sentence.
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly... I'm really embarrassed. The words I said in the second grade in the past will not be remembered by students for a lifetime..."
His breath became weaker and weaker.
Instead, Wei Cheng's breath gradually returned to calmness, and he escaped from his life-threatening state.
The side effect of summoning the old man completely drained all the vitality from Wei Cheng's body, and what Zhang Yang is doing now is to inject a large amount of life force into Wei Cheng's body to stimulate the life energy in Wei Cheng's body.
The Blood Light Staff is a weapon that controls life force. It was able to deprive Ren Li of his life, and naturally it can also give the user's life force to others.
But the price is...
"That's enough, Lao Zhang, I can recover on my own. Cherish your remaining life!"
At this moment, Wei Cheng's breath returned to stability, and he immediately cut off the connection with the Blood Light Staff.
The inheritance of the first generation of Hades is quite tenacious. As long as there is some vitality as a guide, the Black Flame Holy Body can be used to make the injuries in the body heal as before.
Although this is a rather long process, it will recover sooner or later, and there will no longer be any fear of life.
But Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said: "How can this work, Wei Cheng, next, you want to frighten the existence of all parties. With your current weak body, what can you do?"
"You can't do anything!"
boom!
A large amount of life force spilled out, turned into blood, and was forcibly injected into Wei Cheng's body by Zhang Yang again.
"You should have discovered that even if I no longer consume my life force, I have less than a week left to live after activating the blood light staff. Rather than lingering as a weakling, it is better to let the remaining life play its remaining value!
"
A great master in charge of life energy, who explodes with all his strength regardless of his life, is quite terrifying.
In a short period of time, Zhang Yang's momentum even overwhelmed the powerful people around him, and there was a faint tendency to break through.
"You are truly worthy of the genius you once were. Your qualifications are indeed monster. If your soul was strong enough, you would have become a powerful man long ago, right?" Even the Sword King, who originally ignored this matter, opened his old eyes slightly at this moment.
With eyes wide open, he sighed with some surprise.
At this moment, Wei Cheng was surprisingly calm.
He didn't stop Zhang Yang.
In other words, based on his understanding of Lao Zhang, he had already guessed such an ending.
Lao Zhang is a warrior and a general!
A general would rather be wrapped in horse leather on the battlefield and bleed and die for his comrades than enjoy peace in the rear!
Precisely because he understood this, Wei Cheng allowed the life force to flow into his body and instantly healed the injuries left by the summoned old man.
Grabbing Zhang Yang's hand that was quickly filled with wrinkles, Wei Cheng looked at the old man in front of him.
At this moment, Zhang Yang had transformed from a middle-aged uncle into a gray-haired old man. His face seemed to have been baptized for a hundred years, his black hair turned into white silk, and his face instantly turned pale.
Looking at the age spots appearing on his face, Zhang Yang smiled.
"I feel the feeling of aging again. Modern warriors can live forever. Even if they die, they will die in battle. It is a rare experience. The last time I had this experience was when I used the Blood Light Staff again."
"..."
"Is there anything I can do for you? No matter whether it is within my ability or not, I will try my best to complete it."
Lao Zhang, I really have to leave this time.
Feeling the full vitality in his body, Wei Cheng knew in his heart that the life of this generation of master was about to come to an end, even without observing it with his heavenly eyes.
The power of the blood light staff not only consumes life force, but also directly deletes life span, causing people's life span to reach the end in an instant.
In other words, if Zhang Yang has not broken through the current realm and his lifespan has not been extended, using the Blood Light Staff will mean certain death!
"Ah, let me think about it..."
Zhang Yang's body gradually lost its temperature, but his eyes were still bright. Lying in Wei Cheng's arms, he said in a weak voice: "Wei Cheng, I have taught a student like you, met Principal Ye, and even brought blood to my body."
The light rod is passed down to you...my life will be without any regrets."
"If I have to say I have some regrets...it's the betrayal of my old friend. But thanks to you, Ren Li has been defeated and is no longer my inner demon."
"I have a request……"
At this point, Zhang Yang fell into silence.
Wei Cheng was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Lao Zhang's reply.
"Use my power to survive...even if you didn't say so, you would do it, right?"
With a self-deprecating smile, Zhang Yang's eyes burst out with the last brilliance, and he said sonorously and forcefully: "But I still want to say it! Wei Cheng, I am a general, and as a soldier, I will be wrapped in horse leather on the battlefield, and I will pass on my beliefs.
."
"You don't have to take my body back to the academy, just bury it here. Please take the staff back and bury the blood-light staff in that cemetery, and then give the green-light staff to my family!"
Having said this, Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and said: "You should have guessed that Zhang Mingming, who was killed by you earlier, is actually my brother."
"My brother was bewitched by the Demon Cult in the past and became a strong supporter of the Demon Cult. Thanks to the protection of Principal Ye, I was able to escape from the Zhang family."
"The fallen leaves must return to their roots. Although I despise the Zhang family, it is the family that gave birth to me and raised me after all. Except for the eldest brother, the rest of the Zhang family are innocent... Wei Cheng handed over the inheritance of the Biguang Staff to the Zhang family. As for the Zhang family,
The bloody staff... let it rest in the tomb forever!"
Wei Cheng nodded.
The first human powerhouse he killed, Zhang Mingming, was Zhang Yang’s brother!
Although he didn't know it at the time, after checking it later, Wei Cheng knew all this.
In terms of grudges and grudges, the Zhang family is still his enemy.
However, one code leads to another, and since this is Lao Zhang's wish, Wei Cheng will help him realize it. Even if the Zhang family will always hate him, he will keep his promise and take care of the Zhang family for Zhang Yang's sake.
At this moment, the red color of the blood light staff gradually faded away due to all the vitality that had been extracted, and it bloomed into a crystal clear green color.
Zhang Yang, the Blue Light Staff!
This is the title used by Lao Zhang after sealing the Blood Light Staff.
Now, the power of the blood light staff was given to Wei Cheng, and the cane once again showed the posture of the green light staff, swaying in the wind, like a willow tree blooming in spring.
"It's so beautiful..."
Looking at the willow tree, Zhang Yang stretched out his hand slightly, as if he saw his former lover in a dream.
Then, he closed his eyes.
The body gradually lost its temperature.
At this moment, Zhang Yang, the Blue Light Staff, ushered in the end of his life.
He was buried in the Demonic Continent and died peacefully into the dust under the watchful eyes of several senior officials of the Sound Saint Academy.
"Goodbye, Lao Zhang."
Wei Cheng stood in front of the tomb, blew gently, and used the power of the True Disaster Circle to protect this small tomb.
Life is full of ups and downs, but in the end it is just a handful of loess.
What matters is what you have done and what kind of trajectory you have left in this world.
At least, Zhang Yang did it.
The name of Zhang Yang, Blood Light Staff, left an indelible mark in Wei Cheng's heart.
