And at this moment, the string called reason broke with a "snap".

She couldn't hear any sounds around her, couldn't see anyone, and just wanted to destroy everything around her.

Numbly, she swallowed another mouthful of ice. She didn't even remember why she did it.

But she vaguely felt that she had to do it.

She repeated the eating action mechanically.

Jing Xing felt like he was going crazy, he kept calling out:

"Little junior sister!"

"Qin Zhen!"

"Wake up, you will die if you continue like this!"

"Stop eating that ice!"

Jingxing's voice could not reach Qin Zhen's ears.

Qin Zhen was in a daze, expressionless, like a machine that could only eat ice cubes.

"Little Pearl!"

At this moment, Qin Zhen suddenly raised her head.

She looked back and suddenly met Jingxing's tearful eyes again.

Those familiar eyes were full of worry and concern.

Is he afraid?

Are you afraid of her?

No, he was afraid of losing her.

The scarlet in his eyes faded slightly, and Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "...Second Brother?"

Jing Xing looked at Qin Zhen's eyes which had regained focus, and knew that the person in front of him had remembered everything.

"Well, it's me."

Jing Xing almost begged, "I'm sorry for getting you involved in this. Let's go. I'm begging you."

"Second senior brother."

Qin Zhen looked at him steadily: "I'm here to take you home, so don't cry."

"I...can't go back."

"No, home is a place where we can go back together whenever we want. Everyone is waiting for us. Don't say discouraging words."

Qin Zhen said, smiling brightly at Jing Xing: "This time, I won't abandon you again."

As he spoke, Qin Zhen took out the tripod made of Wolong Stone.

"no, you can not……"

Jing Xing realized what Qin Zhen was going to do almost instantly. He tried to stop her in panic, but was firmly covered under the tripod.

His voice could not be heard.

But he is safe.

She gently touched Xiao Ding with her still intact forehead: "I won't let anything happen to you."

As she spoke, Qin Zhen turned and looked at Wu Ya.

The Delonix regia seemed to have sensed something and flew towards Qin Zhen.

Then it hovered in front of Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen looked down at the poinciana tree, then gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

The direction where the sword tip points is boundless.

"Even if you absorbed the spiritual energy from the magic weapon, you are only at the Jindan stage. Why bother struggling?"

"So much nonsense."

Qin Zhen raised his sword and slashed forward.

Everything seemed to be repeating itself, but something seemed to be different.

Soon, Wu Ya realized what was different——

The consumption of demonic power.

When Qin Zhen attacked this time, she almost completely gave up on defense. She just kept attacking at a high frequency.

If he wanted to block Qin Zhen's current high-intensity attacks, he would have to use more moves than before, and this would increase the consumption of his demonic power.

Although Qin Zhen's spiritual energy consumption is definitely faster and greater than his, Qin Zhen is a madman.

Despite the pain and the risk of his dantian exploding, he ate ice cubes with all his might.

Using this most dangerous and painful way to seek that slim chance of survival.

"madman!"

"madman!!!"

As time passed, the wounds on Qin Zhen's body had been torn so deep by the chaotic and mixed spiritual energy that the bones were visible.

Even the Delonix regia, which could withstand an attack from a Mahayana cultivator, was reduced to dust in this long battle.

But Qin Zhen seemed to never get tired, and his fighting spirit was burning at an astonishing level.

Not to kill, but to protect.

"clang--"

When Wu Ya concentrated all his last bit of demonic power to attack, Qin Zhen took the first half of the attack with her body while closing the distance between them.

The cold wind suddenly appeared in Qin Zhen's hand, and along with the half-meter-wide stone on it, it hit Wu Ya heavily.

"boom--"

This blow caused even the Xuanling realm to tremble continuously.

This time, Wu Ya was unable to get up.

As a result of Wu Ya's attack, half of Qin Zhen's body bones were shattered and he fell heavily to the ground.

Even so, in the moment before falling to the ground, she instinctively fell in the direction where Jingxing was.

As if this way, I could be closer to him, closer and closer.

Wu Ya looked at the fallen Qin Zhen and was somewhat shocked to find that -

Qin Zhen really did it. She protected Jing Xing from beginning to end and didn't let him get close to Jing Xing at all.

She is like the last barrier, protecting Jingxing's safety.

She kept her promise.

Even at such a tragic price.

Wu Ya looked at the brave Qin Zhen and felt as if he saw the fearless self he once was.

When did he become what he is now?

"Why……"

Why can one keep moving forward even when one knows there is no hope?

Wu Ya asked in a low voice, but no one heard it.

Qin Zhen no longer had any ice to eat, nor did she have any spiritual energy to allow herself to move.

Is that the end?

But, she hasn't been able to bring her second brother home yet.

I really want to go home, eat hot pot with everyone again, and drink some delicious wine.

My vision is becoming increasingly blurry.

It’s so cold. Is it because I lost too much blood?

The robe he's wearing is said to be the thousand-year-old shark silk robe of the ancestor, but it's now so tattered. I wonder if the master will be so angry that he'll jump up and down?

By the way, I have to join the eldest brother in scolding the second brother and never let him do these dangerous things alone again.

Also, there is...

What else is coming?

She seemed to have trouble remembering, her eyelids felt heavy.

Before that, at least, we must send the second brother away.

Qin Zhen's mind moved, and the Wolong Ding seemed to sense something and returned to the Qiankun Ring.

She met Jingxing's eyes again.

She forced a smile with difficulty, she knew she must look ugly now.

Otherwise, why would Jingxing’s eyes turn red and he couldn’t bear to watch any longer?

"Second Senior Brother..."

"I'm here, I'm always here!"

"Go home."

After Qin Zhen finished speaking, she used her left hand, the only part of her body that was still intact, to take out a talisman from the Qiankun Ring with difficulty, and suddenly placed it on the ice surface where Jing Xing was.

The next second, the talisman burned out.

Jingxing disappeared from the spot along with the entire piece of ice, leaving only the ruins after the battle.

That talisman was the one that Mu Guiyi gave her to escape.

For fear of being chased by the enemy, only one person can be teleported at a time.

Qin Zhen knew it when she got the talisman.

She slowly closed her eyes, and even her breathing became weaker.
