Xiaoxiao.

This new spiritual energy still emits a faint gray-black light, but both the strength of the power it contains and the specific form it presents are more than ten times greater than before!

This spiritual energy, like a wild horse, rampaged through Kuang Zheng's body, wreaking havoc and destroying everything in its path.

However, at that moment, as if it had suddenly gained sentience, it rushed straight toward Kuangzheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

This vast and surging spiritual energy, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, broke through one important acupoint after another with overwhelming force. Its speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness.

It is important to know that the sea of ​​consciousness is not only crucial for a person, but also the most vulnerable part of the body.

Once the sea of ​​consciousness is destroyed, even a powerful immortal would be powerless to save it. Moreover, the spiritual energy within Kuang Zheng's body contains terrifying power capable of moving mountains and filling seas, making it incredibly easy to destroy a mere sea of ​​consciousness.

Just at the critical moment, a loud "boom" was heard, and the spiritual energy, carrying unparalleled power, crashed into the sea of ​​consciousness like a meteor falling to earth.

Everyone thought that everything would be settled now, but a shocking scene suddenly unfolded.

The once invincible and unstoppable spiritual energy vanished without a trace after entering the sea of ​​consciousness, as if it had never existed.

However, Kuang Zheng's sea of ​​consciousness remained a hazy gray scene, showing no signs of change whatsoever.

Fortunately, after this violent impact, Kuang Zheng's almost vanished consciousness finally began to show signs of recovery.

However, this sign was extremely faint and progressed very slowly, making it difficult to detect without careful observation.

Outside, time had flown by, and nine days had passed. Just as the chilling, inhuman screams of the two spirits finally faded away, the world seemed to have returned to peace and tranquility after a catastrophe.

However, due to the harsh edict issued by His Majesty the Emperor of Qin on the day of his escape, the area within a thousand miles of Dongting Lake became a forbidden zone.

The powerful Imperial Guard has already completely sealed off this place, and anyone who dares to approach without authorization will face the grave crime of having their entire family exterminated!

Therefore, even though a full nine days have passed, there is still not a single person in sight.

In this atmosphere that was so quiet it was almost deathly still, Ying Yue's body suddenly trembled slightly.

First, her fingers twitched slightly, and then her long eyelashes began to tremble slightly.

Clearly, she was experiencing something unusual while she was asleep.

It turned out that Ying Yue was trapped in a long and winding dream. In this dream, she seemed to travel through time and space, returning to the innocent and carefree years of her childhood.

Back then, she was innocent, carefree, and every moment was so beautiful and unforgettable.

Then, the scene shifts, and she sees glimpses of her journey of growth: laughter, tears, setbacks, and successes...

These memories unfolded before her eyes like a magnificent and colorful painting.

What's even more surprising is that Ying Yue even dreamed of the scene when she married Kuang Zheng.

The wedding was unprecedentedly grand and solemn, with festive drums resounding through the sky and vibrant red ribbons fluttering in the air. She, dressed in a magnificent wedding gown, was beautiful and charming, while Kuang Zheng beside her was handsome and dashing.

Just as the two were happily preparing to enter the bridal chamber and enjoy their lovemaking, a terrible scene unfolded without warning—Kuang Zheng was suddenly and mercilessly pierced through the chest by a gleaming sword!

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, staining the pristine white wedding bed red.

Such a tremendous change and sudden fear swept over Ying Yue like a tidal wave. Terrified, she tried to scream for help but found that her throat was being tightly choked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. At this critical moment, Ying Yue suddenly opened her eyes, breaking free from that terrifying nightmare.

At this point, her consciousness finally returned completely to her body.

The excruciating pain surging through her body was like a tidal wave, crashing against her fragile nerve defenses wave after wave, almost causing her to faint.

However, the worry for her lover's safety was like a strong rope, tightly binding her consciousness as it was about to fall into the abyss of darkness.

The mere thought of her lover, whose fate was uncertain, made her grit her teeth and endure the excruciating pain, dragging her battered body as she struggled to search for Kuang Zheng.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like it was stretched out infinitely, turning into a long, agonizing ordeal.

Finally, about three hundred meters away from her, Ying Yue caught sight of that familiar figure she had been longing for day and night.

At this moment, Kuang was sitting cross-legged on the ground like a statue. Since his back was to her, she could not see the specific situation clearly.

Not far in front of Kuang Zheng, Wu Ren was also lying there, completely unaware of what was happening there because of the greater distance.

Ying Yue took a deep breath, trying to gather her last bit of strength.

Every step she took was accompanied by excruciating pain, as if countless sharp blades were mercilessly cutting her body, tearing it apart bit by bit.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about any of that; her heart and eyes were only filled with her lover and her partner.

For Ying Yue, this short journey felt like traversing a long time tunnel.

Every step was incredibly heavy, and every breath was accompanied by a painful groan.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Ying Yue, with all her remaining strength, staggered to Kuang Zheng's side.

When she observed Kuang Zheng up close, she found his condition to be very strange.

Kuang Zhengming had clearly stopped breathing, but his body still emitted a faint warmth, as if the flame of life had not been completely extinguished.

However, upon closer examination of the spiritual energy within his body, it was astonishing to discover that the once powerful spiritual energy had become extremely weak, almost imperceptible.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng seems to be no different from an ordinary person with no cultivation.

I observed it repeatedly for a long time, not even missing a single detail, but I still couldn't find any problems.

Faced with such a thorny situation, and with no other options, we had no choice but to put things aside for the time being and go check on Wu Ren's current condition.

And so began another extremely painful and arduous journey. Each movement triggered a piercing, excruciating pain, as if every bone in my body was being torn apart and reassembled.

However, the concern for the safety of his companions sustained his belief in moving forward, and no matter how painful and unbearable it was, he eventually got closer and closer to his destination.

After finally arriving, Chang hurriedly went to check on Wu Ren's condition.

After a careful examination, it was discovered that Wu Ren, like himself, was seriously injured and in a coma, but fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Upon confirming the situation, Chang dared not delay and immediately began rescue efforts.

Time passed second by second, and after only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a miracle happened—Wu Ren slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time.

His vision was still a little blurry when he woke up. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he blinked several times before he could fully confirm his surroundings and current situation.

But what followed was a torrent of excruciating pain that surged through his entire body like a tidal wave. It felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart and a thousand knives were tearing at his bones, and the pain almost made him faint again.

Despite the excruciating pain, Wu Ren's gaze instinctively swept around. When he saw the conspicuous stab mark on Ying Yue's back that stretched for over a thousand meters, he froze, his mouth agape but unable to utter a single word for a long time.

For some reason, he felt his eyes burning at that moment, and tears seemed about to well up at any moment.

"Thank goodness you're awake! Quickly go check on Zheng-ge'er, his condition is a bit strange!" Ying Yue said anxiously and worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ren disregarded the waves of pain surging through his body and hurriedly replied, "Okay, I'll go right now!" With that, he and Ying Yue laboriously crawled slowly toward the direction where Kuang Zheng was.

As the two moved, two more shocking crimson marks appeared on the ground...
