Although Gao Yanan and Yuhua Tianji are both his classmates, if it were up to him to choose and only one of them could survive, he would choose Gao Yanan to live without any hesitation.'
But night would come soon, and even if he tried his best, he would not be able to get to the area where Gao Yanan might be before midnight. Moreover, in the thick darkness, not only would he not be able to find Gao Yanan, but he and Bian Linghan might also not be able to find him.
He will be assassinated by the Thunder Academy student who has extraordinary vision in the dark.
Today, the ability he had before returning to Ten Stops has been exhausted. Even if he does not risk his own life, he must be responsible for Bian Linghan.
He realized that no matter what he chose, he could not help Gao Yanan. In the long dark night that followed, she could only rely on herself.
Dean Zhang's words to him were right. Even if they use some unique abilities, they are not invincible in this world after all. They will bleed, and they will know the development of some things but they are powerless.
to change.
Because he knew but was unable to change, and even though he used the ability to return to the time before the tenth stop, Wanyan Muye's shot before the tenth stop truly penetrated into his flesh and blood, and the blood flowed from his body.
His body was gushing out, and the feeling of approaching death was real. This also put a lot of pressure on his psychology, so his face became paler and his hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously.
"Lin Xi, what's wrong?" Bian Linghan felt Lin Xi's abnormality and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Lin Xi did not reply immediately, but turned around and glanced at the direction where Gao Yanan might be, looking at the diamond-like ice particles floating in the air.
"Let's take him away."
Lin Xi took a deep breath, turned to look at Bian Linghan, and said: "They regarded us as prey and laid many traps waiting for us. We used him as bait to lure Helan Yuexi and the others out."
"Is it possible that your Qingluan Academy is so powerful...that you even know the origins and specialties of Senior Brother Helan?" Hearing Lin Xi's words, Wanyan Muye's body shook violently, and he looked at Lin Xi in disbelief.
exhaled a word.
But he soon ran out of words.
Lin Xi roughly stuffed a bunch of medicinal herbs into his mouth. The bitter medicinal liquid made Wanyan Muye feel that it had some effect on his injury. At the same time, it also made his mouth completely numb and his tongue was stiff, making him unable to say anything.
.
…
The night is getting darker, and darkness begins to descend on the Dentian Mountains again, descending on this wasteland with diamond-like ice crystals floating in the sky.
A prisoner wearing a ragged gray prison uniform sat on a blue stone.
In front of him is a hot spring pool emitting slightly hot air, and outside him is a mountain col that is sheltered from the wind.
This mountain col, which has begun to be shrouded in night, seems to be a foreign land in a different world in this light snowy wasteland. The light blue hot spring pool is only slightly warm, and you can see fish swimming in the clear water, with dark blue water.
The water plants are growing.
The green grass beside the pond is very soft, and there are even more than a dozen willow trees growing in this wasteland. It is not at all like a plateau near the snow line, but like a spring somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although this prisoner is thin, his frame is broad, giving him a burly look, and his knuckles are thick. His beard and unkempt hair almost cover his face. He is middle-aged and obviously not from Thunder College.
Students pretending.
There was a small fire beside him, with some cleanly chewed snow-white fish bones scattered around it. There were two willow branches hanging in the pool in front of him, as if he didn't want to cover up his whereabouts or escape.
, just fishing quietly here.
There was no bait on the willow branch, but with the gentle swing in his hand, gentle ripples arose, which made the fish, unaware of the danger, swim curiously by.
A strange flat-bodied fish with white scales weighing more than half a kilogram swam over. The tall, bearded prisoner pulled the willow branch out of the water and whipped it down at an extremely fast speed.
There was a "pop" sound.
The water splashed everywhere, and a bloodstain appeared in the light blue water. The white-scaled fish floated to the surface with its belly turned upside down. The prisoner picked it up with two fingers, removed the scales and dirt, and placed it on the fire.
Gao Yanan's figure was revealed at one end of the mountain col.
"You're lucky." The middle-aged prisoner, whose messy hair and beard almost reached one point, looked calmly at Gao Yanan who appeared in his sight, smiled indifferently, and said softly: "I happened to be fishing.
If you get this fish, kill me, and this fish will be yours."
Gao Yanan frowned slightly. The appearance of this middle-aged prisoner was very bleak and shabby, and from his bones and protruding thick joints, it could be seen that this man must have been a taller and stronger man before, but now he has become
He was skinny and bones, but his calmness and eyes made her feel a strange sense of danger... Her first impression was that this middle-aged man with a beard was like a lion that had been hungry for a long time.
"I'm not here to kill you." Gao Yanan looked at him, shook his head and said.
"Let me take a look first... to avoid getting burnt and unable to eat later." The middle-aged prisoner with a beard shook his head, but he held a handful of water with both hands to put out the small fire next to him.
Already.
With the sound of chi chi, the mountain col turned into darkness again.
The two people in the col suddenly turned into three.
Because at this moment, a black shadow emerged from the forest on one side like a ghost, and then silently and quickly approached Gao Yanan.
People are often in a dark environment, and their eyesight will adapt to some extent. However, if there is light and the light is suddenly extinguished and they are placed in darkness again, their eyesight will be the least able to adapt, and the surroundings will be the worst.
It was pitch black.
However, the third person who appeared seemed to see everything around him clearly. He silently and quickly approached Gao Yanan. With a soft "whoosh", a black shadow rolled towards the back of Gao Yanan's head.
past.
"when!"
A ball of sparks exploded.
Gao Yanan turned around, and the long sword in his hand hit the black shadow, but it was a heavy meteor hammer.
At the moment when she blocked the meteor hammer with her sword, the third person who appeared raised his left hand, and several black shadows that were not easy to see even at ordinary times suddenly shot towards Gao Yanan.
Gao Yanan dodged, staggering slightly, and there seemed to be warm liquid splashing in the air.
Seeing this, the third person who appeared became energetic and struck out with the meteor hammer again.
"when!"
But Gao Yanan's staggering figure suddenly became extremely stable. With a sweep of the long sword in his hand, he grabbed the chain connected to the meteor hammer. With the subconscious pull of the third person, his whole body soared as if he had lost weight.
Got up.
The third person gave up the hammer decisively and threw the chain towards her fiercely. At the same time, he let out a low roar and crossed his arms in front of him.
Gao Yanan pointed his toes, seemingly stepping lightly onto the man's chest, but when he collided with his arms, there was a dull explosion. The man's arms seemed to have been hit by a giant tree, and then pressed against his chest.
There were some slight bone cracking sounds.
This force caused the man to slide back dozens of feet on the shallow snow, and then ran back without any hesitation.
Gao Yanan wanted to give chase, but suddenly her brows furrowed, because at this moment, the light lit up again by the hot spring pond, and a heart-stopping momentum was rising.
The middle-aged prisoner, who was skinny but still looked burly, stood up. He held a few pieces of red charcoal in his hands, but there were no traces of burns in his hands.
He grabbed a few handfuls of hay and dry grass, and soon another fire was burning brightly.
"Are you a student of Qingluan Academy?... At your age, you have already reached the level of an intermediate soul master. In the future, if there is a future... you must be a very remarkable person." The middle-aged prisoner stood up straight and said
Like a knife, he looked at Gao Yanan and said in a deep voice.
Gao Yanan's brows furrowed deeply. Looking at the middle-aged prisoner, she repeated: "I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to save you."
"I know. But I am a soldier of the Damang Dynasty." The middle-aged prisoner slowly walked towards Gao Yanan and said seriously and seriously: "You are from Yunqin, and I am from Damang. No matter what happens now
, you and I are enemies after all.”
After a slight pause, the middle-aged prisoner said in a deeper voice: "In Qianxia Mountain... there were twenty-three Da Mang soldiers captured with me, but except for me, they were all fighting with me.
You Yunqin College students were killed in a fight, so no matter what, it is impossible for me to go back alive and return to the border of Damang alone."
Gao Yanan took a deep breath and shook his head: "But it was not our Qingluan Academy that did this, but Thunder Academy."
"I am a soldier, and my mission is to kill enemies that will be more threatening in the future for our country, whether they are students from Thunder College or students from Qingluan College...Long live my emperor!"
There was a strange light in the eyes of the middle-aged prisoner, and tears seemed to fall like stars. His footsteps began to step hard on the snow. A faint yellow light appeared on his body, and the air flow rolled up around his body, and the deep night was all over.
It seemed to be torn apart by some force within him.
Feeling the strong wind coming towards her, blowing so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes, Gao Yanan solemnly nodded and saluted, and then she took a firm step forward, letting go of the long sword with the bolas chain in her hand,
His right hand was like chopping bricks, and it struck at the middle-aged prisoner.
The air between the two suddenly condensed, "Bang!", followed by huge earthquakes.
Gao Yanan stood still, while the middle-aged prisoner who kept punching forward took three steps back, with each step taking a foot deeper.
