Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The snow finally stopped.

The lead-gray clouds did not dissipate, but instead suddenly surged, revealing a strange, faint red glow, like crushed blood jade immersed in ink.

Thunderbolts as thick as silver pythons shuttled and meandered between the gaps in the clouds. Every twist emitted a dazzling flash of lightning, illuminating the sky and the earth with flickering light.

The blood rain poured down, crashing onto the snow.

The raindrops mixed with the blood that had already solidified on the ground, creating dark red gullies in the white snow, winding like crawling bloody snakes.

The leader of the Jingming Dao looked at Shen Zhaozhao in surprise and doubt: "It's the thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Stage! This little girl's cultivation has actually reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

Is that so? Has she reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage?

Shen Zhaozhao slowly raised his head, looking at the surging sky with empty eyes. There was no hope of overcoming the tribulation, only a dead and desolate scene.

The thunderbolt came down with the power to destroy the world. She didn't even blink, just kept her eyes open, waiting for it to strike her.

At the moment when the lightning was about to touch the tips of her hair, the butterfly hairpin in her hair suddenly burst out with a circle of warm white light, like a soft shield, but as solid as a rock, wrapping her whole body firmly.

Eighty bolts of lightning struck down in succession, and the roar shook the ground, but they were all blocked by the warm light, and even the corners of her hanging clothes were not blown away.

Not until the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the red glow faded, and everything returned to calm did Shen Zhaozhao slowly raise her hand and take the butterfly hairpin out of her hair.

The moment her fingertips touched the jade hairpin, she felt a familiar and warm breath spreading from her fingertips to her heart.

The face that was originally numb and without a trace of emotion finally showed cracks.

She looked at the butterfly pattern on the hairpin that seemed to be fluttering its wings and said in a voice as light as a sigh, with an imperceptible sob: "You are still protecting me."

Unable to hold back any longer, Shen Zhaozhao clutched the jade hairpin tightly against her chest, letting out a faint sob from her throat. Her tears fell on the hairpin, leaving a small wet mark.

Just then, she felt something tapping her shoulder gently.

Looking back, she saw the Scarlet Cloud Sword hanging beside her, emitting a soft scarlet glow.

The sword trembled slightly in front of her, making a low sword sound, as if offering clumsy comfort.

It rubbed her palm carefully again, carrying the remaining warmth of its owner.

In the shadow behind the tree, Gu Qianmeng's hands, clutching her sleeves, had already turned white, and her knuckles had lost their color from the force.

She waited until Chu Yu completely dissipated, and the system prompt in her mind sounded on time.

[The mission to facilitate Chu Yu's death has been completed].

She breathed a sigh of relief, the trembling in her fingertips subsided a little, and she just wanted to leave quietly when no one was paying attention.

But just as he took a step forward, a sharp sword light suddenly broke through the air!

With a "nail" sound, the Chiyun Sword was firmly stuck in the tree trunk in front of her. The blade trembled continuously, and the cold air spread along the wood grain, instantly wrapping around her limbs.

Her face turned pale, and she turned around to escape, but was suddenly pulled back by an invisible spiritual power.

With a "thump", Gu Qianmeng fell heavily on the snow, her face splashed with snow, and the cold snow grains penetrated into her collar, but she didn't even have the strength to shiver.

Panic wrapped around her heart like a vine, tightening more and more, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

When she looked up, Shen Zhaozhao was approaching her step by step.

The girl was surrounded by the spiritual power of a true fairyland, her eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and with every step she took, the snow under her feet silently turned into water vapor, and even the air seemed to be frozen.

Gu Qianmeng stepped back repeatedly, her voice trembling: "What are you going to do?"

"What?" Shen Zhaozhao's voice was soft, yet piercingly cold. "You've occupied someone else's body, repeatedly stirring up trouble, and now you're asking me what I want to do?"

"It's not me! The system forced me to do this!" Gu Qianmeng hastily defended herself, her voice filled with panic. "I don't want to come here and get involved in your affairs at all! It's it... it's it that forced me to do this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold mechanical voice suddenly exploded in her mind.

System 005's voice lost its usual calmness, carrying with it a clear rage: [Host, you died long ago in your original world. You voluntarily reached an agreement with me, completing the mission in exchange for a chance at resurrection. I never forced you.]

Gu Qianmeng screamed at the top of her lungs in her sea of ​​consciousness: "Then take me back quickly! I want to go back! I don't want to stay here!

System 005 was silent for a moment, his voice revealing a hint of dejection: [Sorry, host, your mission is not progressing well enough. I don't have enough energy to take you back.]

It's also stuck here.

Gu Qianmeng's face instantly lost its color, but Shen Zhaozhao did not stop and stared at her with sharp eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, the real Gu Qianmeng's soul is still suppressed in this body by you, right?"

As she spoke, a ray of bright white spiritual power gathered at her fingertips, and as the spiritual power flowed, it carried a sharpness that could penetrate the soul.

"What did I do wrong!" Gu Qianmeng suddenly broke down and burst into tears, tears mixed with the snow on her face and flowed down, "I just want to go home! I just want to be with my mom! I don't want to stay in this damn place at all!"

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Xie Yanshu who was not far away, her voice full of pleading, "Brother Xie, please save me!"

For some reason, Xie Yanshu's body uncontrollably wanted to walk towards her, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Shi Yu beside him.

Shi Yu held his shoulders and whispered, "Brother, there's something wrong with her soul, don't be affected by it."

Xie Yanshu froze in place, his brows furrowed, unable to take another step forward.

Gu Qianmeng saw Xie Yanshu being stopped, and then turned to Jiang Jinyan who was not far away. Her voice was filled with tears, sad and pitiful: "Brother! I am Qianmeng, please save me!"

Jiang Jinyan slowly turned his face away, his voice filled with sorrow, yet extremely firm: "You are the evil spirit that has taken over Qianmeng's body. You are not Qianmeng."

These words completely shattered Gu Qianmeng's last bit of hope.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Shen Zhaozhao stepped forward and the spiritual power at his fingertips suddenly pierced into her brow.

Gu Qianmeng let out a shrill scream, and two beams of light instantly floated out from above her head.

Without the support of her soul, her body collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Jinyan rushed over almost immediately and carefully held her in his arms.

A faint white soul breath slowly floated out, circled twice around Gu Qianmeng's forehead, and then gently sank into her body.

"Qianmeng." Jiang Jinyan pressed his face against her cold cheek, his voice as soft as a whisper, trembling uncontrollably, "You're back, aren't you?

Shen Zhaozhao's gaze fell on the two rays of light in his palm.

She thought that the pale gray shadow struggling weakly must be the soul from another world.

The system should be this luminous sphere.

Shen Zhaozhao raised his hand and grabbed the glowing system sphere. He applied a little force with his fingertips, and the sphere instantly emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and the light flashed violently.

System 005's mechanical voice, for the first time, was urgent, even trembling. "Don't kill me! I'm just an intelligent being, carrying out my program."

Shen Zhaozhao's fingertips exerted more and more force, the light of the sphere gradually dimmed, and the buzzing sound became weaker and weaker.

At the last moment when the ball was about to go out completely, she suddenly let go.

It is still useful to keep it. Perhaps through it, I can find the so-called way of heaven.
