Chapter 168 - The common people cried at night

TL-Checked by Bamblueboo & Zaki; Edited by Animeart

In the blood-stained dust, the sky, the earth, and the wind were all falling apart, turning into ashes and falling down.

Lin Shu smelled the dry, cold air in the night.

He looked out and saw the outer edge of the whole world had collapsed.

The scenery changed.

He found himself lying side by side with the girl Danzhu inside the ‘Shen’ sh.e.l.l, underneath was the soft pasty-like meat wrapping around them, almost forming a pupa.

He could smell the scent of confusion.

The thousand-year ‘Shen’ was a terrible monster between the heavens and the earth. The sea merchants usually turn pale when they hear about it.

When sailing at sea, this thing would release a mirage, causing sailors on the pa.s.sing s.h.i.+ps to fall into dreamland, and gradually go mad.

The s.h.i.+p would capsize, the sailors would fall into the sea and become food for the ‘Shen’.

The ‘Shen’ did not kill people, it would just coc.o.o.n the people in its own mirage flesh and gradually erode them.

According to legends, that person would still be alive, and even his body would be preserved as is, but all his memories and consciousness would become part of the ‘Shen’.

During the time they were trapped in the illusion, the Great Wizard did not kill them, but fed their bodies to the ‘Shen’, and then led their souls into the Elysium, intending to trap them there forever.

But he made a wrong calculation. Xiao Shao discovered the loopholes in the Elysium, and with the help of the Land Immortal cat, they found the core of the Elysium and defeated it.

Lin Shu stimulated his spiritual power and cut the snow-white mirage meat that was confining Ling Fengxiao and himself.

The girl Danzhu slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she did was to check the wound on Lin Shu’s body.

There was no wound, it seemed that what happened in the Elysium had no effect on their real bodies.

Lin Shu was pulled up by Ling Fengxiao, using the blazing sun spiritual power to remove water vapor from his body.

As the night fell, the slightly red sky was full of stars.

They were on the top of the tower where the Great Wizard lived.

They heard a cough.

In the thick night, the Great Wizard slowly turned around and faced them.

He had coughed up blood, and his face was pale, only his eyes and blood-stained lips were red.

Ling Fengxiao drew his blade and took a few steps forward.

They confronted each other.

Lin Shu felt the breath of the Great Wizard.

Xiao Shao was right to say that the existence of the Elysium was consuming the Great Wizard.

Just now Xiao Shao had quickened the time in the Elysium, which made the city expand rapidly. The people filled the entire s.p.a.ce, and finally, the whole world could not support their consumption and fell apart. The Great Wizard was severely injured as a result, and his aura was much weaker than before.

The night fog rose and became thicker, and Lin Shu could only see the silhouette of the two of them standing opposite each other.

There were two things he didn’t understand

First, why didn’t the Great Wizard kill them when he could have killed them.

Second, the blood poison has already been developed, and the power of the Great Wizard could wash the world with blood. With just a wave of his hand, he could have slaughtered the entire human world and brought all the world to the Elysium, but he had not made any major moves.

This might be because he could not maintain such a huge city of Elysium with his current strength.

In the early years, he heard that the Great Wizard had been looking for the 《Everlasting Yearning》. Similarly, this person also liked to acquire the other peerless manuals. In the beginning, they all thought that the Great Wizard was doing all these to strengthen Northern Xia’s strength, but now it seemed that the Great Wizard had nothing to do with Northern Xia and didn’t care about them. So, were all of his previous actions have something to do with Elysium? If all the eight peerless manuals were acquired by him, would something happen? Were those manuals conducive to the survival of the Elysium?

The Great Wizard once told him that if he collected the eight peerless secret manuals, he could go to Huandang Mountain and summon the Heavenly Dao again. The Phoenix Villa Headmistress also said the same.

Demon Lord Qingming also wanted him to find the peerless secret manuals, but he wanted him to destroy the manuals.

Ling Fengxiao spoke.

He said, “The Elysium was just a castle in the air, are you… still obsessed with it?”

The cold wind blew through the sleeves of the Great Wizard, listening to him slowly say, “You are so clear, how can the world become better because of this?”

Ling Fengxiao, “Naturally it can’t compare to your slaughter of the people, and you have a lot of blood debts.”

The Great Wizard seemed to sigh, and the dark smoke appeared in his right hand, hovering and condensing into a dark knife-like weapon.

But his breath, like a candling in the wind, was already shaky.

Lin Shu knew that Ling Fengxiao and the Great Wizard were absolutely incompatible.

In the eyes of the public, if Ling Fengxiao didn’t kill the Great Wizard, Southern Xia would have no chance of survival, and if the Great Wizard didn’t kill Ling Fengxiao, he would always have such a threat in the world.

But in actuality, the real reason was, the Great Wizard had personally destroyed Ling Fengxiao’s Peach Blossom Spring, and in return, Ling Fengxiao destroyed the Great Wizard’s Peach Blossom Spring.

But the atmosphere between the two of them was not tense, there was a strange relaxation.

Moonlight was clear.

The Great Wizard lowered his eyes.

Lin Shu suddenly discovered that his age, judging from his appearance, was not very old, he looked like twenty-five or sixty.

After suppressing the strong hostility, it turned out to be a clear and beautiful face, with crescent-moon like eyelashes covering the expression in his eyes, and it seemed very sad when glanced at him.

After a long while, he calmly said, “Little Phoenix.”

The tone was light, even somewhat gentle.

Ling Fengxiao looked at him silently, and finally replied, “Have I ever met Your Excellency?”

The Great Wizard twitched his lips. “I have a word and I always want to warn you.”

He said, evil hostility came up with a smile again, and continued, “But you are probably unwilling to listen.”

Ling Fengxiao, “Please say it.”

The Great Wizard said, “I won’t say.”

Lin Shu: “…”

“Oh,” Ling Fengxiao said indifferently. “I don’t want to listen either.”

The Great Wizard’s right hand slowly tightened at the hilt of the blade. “Actually, I have never wanted to kill, and I also don’t want to kill you.”

He spoke as if he believed those words to be true.

Lin Shu watched his voice fall indifferently, saying, “I don’t want to kill you”, but in a flash, a monstrous murderous spirit erupted behind him. A pitch-black blade was like a ghost, and the whole person swept in the direction of Ling Fengxiao!

Ling Fengxiao, who was very alert and tense, immediately reacted, drawing a blade to meet the onslaught.

In an instant, hundreds of moves have been pa.s.sed, unable to determine victory or defeat.

The voice of the Great Wizard was ethereal.

“It’s not that I want to fight with you, but I…”

Lin Shu’s heart jumped slightly, and he looked up at the sky and saw the stars in the sky full of red light, an unknown crimson, and the sky became more and more compressed, lowering down almost swooping towards them.

He opened his eyes wide.

In the next moment, the starry sky seemed to become a sea of blood!

A sharp roar pierced into his mind, lasting for a long time… as if the whole world was crying in pain.

The b.l.o.o.d.y light in the sky is becoming more and more vigorous, and the Great Wizard’s original strength that was flickering like a candle in the wind, as if being nourished by water, grew crazily. His knife was wrapped in blood mist, and the sound of moves breaking the wind, seemed to be thousands of people crying.

This grief was everywhere, like a devil sound, piercing the ears, and the emotions of grief and hatred were so strong that it was hard to take a breath.

Lin Shu sheathed the Folding Bamboo sword, took the Ice-stringed zither, urged it with extreme spiritual power, and played “Warding Off Breaking the Obstacles”, the sound of the zither was clear and clean, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.

It didn’t work.

Not even the slightest effect.

Crying.

Thousands of cries.

Some swallowed and choked, some cried bitterly, some women sobbed, and children cried at night.

The full moon was stained with blood.

Lin Shu had used all his spiritual power.

A cold hand touched his shoulder lightly.

“It was useless.” The Great Wizard said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You have now left the world and the zither’s sound are blocked, how can you stop…… the common people cried at night?”

Lin Shu bent suddenly, drew the sword and blocked the Great Wizard’s arm. A red shadow flickered, and Ling Fengxiao quickly swept over.

The Great Wizard just laughed.

The vigorous and terrifying timing pinned Lin Shu in place, unable to move a single finger, the Great Wizard raised the tip of the knife and pressed it against his throat.

Bright red blood ran down from his right eye socket.

“Little Phoenix, I don’t really want to kill, but kill you… I have been thinking about it for twenty years, but I am always a little reluctant.” His voice was a little trembling, and the look in his eyes was paranoid and crazy, like crying and laughing, “You … so cruel-hearted.”

Lin Shu didn’t know what he was talking about.

There was a clash of weapons, and the Great Wizard’s blade was deflected by Ling Fengxiao.

He protected Lin Shu and said coldly, “He has nothing to do with you and me.”

“Don’t be afraid.” The Great Wizard’s eyes still shed blood and his tone seemed to be comforting, “… I will let you die together, burn your ashes at the same place and sprinkle them in the Peach Blossom Garden together.”

In the sky, the stars were flickering.

A b.l.o.o.d.y meteor pierced through the sky.

The next moment, the stars fell everywhere.

Lin Shu didn’t know what the Great Wizard was—what could have the power to stain the stars in the sky with blood and then make all of them fall?

All the spiritual power between heaven and earth, at that moment, seemed to be drained.

Then, the entire—— until not even one drop (of spiritual power) remained was poured into the Great Wizard’s body.

He raised the tip of the blade to Ling Fengxiao.

The night fog turned into blood fog, and the cry was sharp and endless.

This was a fatal move.

Whether it’s Lin Shu or Ling Fengxiao, the realm of crossing the catastrophe or the realm of land immortality, facing such a spiritual power that is like the pressure of the heavens and the earth, they were like a worm and fine dust in front of the mountains and the rivers.

The feeling of horror at this time… was actually deeper than when Lin Shu faced the thunder and lightning tribulation.

Ling Fengxiao stood in front of Lin Shu.

Lin Shu pressed his hand, took a step forward, and stood side by side with him.

Ling Fengxiao gently pressed his left hand on Lin Shu’s shoulder.

When people were about to die, there would be some physiological reactions.

For example, although Lin Shu felt that he was not emotionally fluctuating, his heartbeat was really fast.

After Ling Fengxiao’s soothing action, he gradually calmed down.

To be honest, he didn’t expect that he would die so quickly.

However, there doesn’t seem to be any regrets.

It’s just a pity for Ling Fengxiao.

He began to wonder whether the Heartless sword intent, which was not affected by Spiritual power, could protect Ling Fengxiao.

The Great Wizard laughed paradoxically, very crazily, as if his long-cherished wish for many years had been fulfilled in one day.

The blade was like silent thunder, extremely fast and extremely slow.

Lin Shu put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

The next moment, he was suddenly pushed forward by the force on his shoulder!

This angle was so tricky that he was pushed away at the edge of the Great Wizard’s blade. He staggered a few steps, and stopped behind the Great Wizard unwounded!

The more powerful the move was, the harder it was to withdraw it, so the Great Wizard’s blade could only stab forward at Ling Fengxiao.

Lin Shu’s eyes suddenly covered with the color of blood, everything turned into slow motion, and the pitch-black blade slowly, very slowly crushed into Ling Fengxiao’s chest.

Silence.

In the silence, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

“Meow.”
