Long Chen naturally did not know what the effects of the Reincarnation Poison would be. However, since the Dragonswallowing Beast had made such a choice, and from the very beginning, Long Chen knew how terrifying the Reincarnation Poison was. He only needed to know that once Li Xuanji came into contact with the Reincarnation Poison, an unimaginable ending would definitely occur.
Li Xuanji would die.
To Long Chen, this was simply an unbelievable nightmare. He had never thought that this would happen. He wanted to see Li Xuanji die in front of him with his own eyes.
Even though Long Chen's love for her was not as deep and unforgettable as Lingxi's love for her, and it was even as light as water, it was completely undeniable that she occupied a place in Long Chen's heart. She was also the woman he had sworn to protect, and even though the two of them would not end up together, he still hoped that Li Xuanji would be able to live well.
It was just that she had saved him in the Dragonswallowing Beast's stomach, but after the battle, he actually could not save her.
The Dragonswallowing Beast was cunning and shameless. This was its revenge before it died.
Long Chen almost risked his life to chase after it. His speed was still faster than the Dragonswallowing Beast, but it was not easy to catch up to it. The process seemed to be extraordinarily long in Long Chen's eyes. He wished that time could stop for the Dragonswallowing Beast, but it was very difficult to complete this in such a hurry.
"Hold on."
Long Chen said to Li Xuanji in his heart.
His voice was filled with intense anger and unwillingness.
"Eternal Moment."
From a very far distance, Long Chen tried in vain to use Eternal Moment to imprison the Dragonswallowing Beast, but a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. It was not easy to trap it. Although the distance between them was shortened, the Dragonswallowing Beast still broke free and escaped.
"Don't waste your effort. Give up."
The Dragonswallowing Beast's mocking voice reached his ears.
At that moment, Long Chen deeply realized that with his current strength, he still had a lot to grow.
"Tempest of Ages."
Seeing that Li Xuanji was about to approach the Samsara Poison, he didn't care if such an attack would hurt Li Xuanji. He directly used Time Storm and enveloped the Dragon-Swallowing Beast's only remaining meatball in the Time Storm.
Buzz.
The storm swept over, and the Dragonswallowing Beast finally stopped. The meatball on its body shattered, turning into dust that fell from the sky. Under the time storm, the last trace of the Dragonswallowing Beast was annihilated by Long Chen.
When the countless storms swept towards Li Xuanji, Long Chen tried his best to control time and stop the storms. This kind of forced stop was very demanding on him. Under the shock of the power, his internal organs were shaken and he was slightly injured. Of course, with a heaven-defying mystique like Dream of the Origin, almost any injury could be instantly healed.
Li Xuanji stood very close to the Samsara Poison. Countless divine dragon currents swept past her body and rushed towards the Samsara Poison behind her. If he had been slightly slower, Li Xuanji would have died this time …
Seeing that she was completely unharmed, Long Chen felt as if he had just survived a calamity. In fact, for the sake of this woman's life, tears even appeared in his eyes. He had been too nervous before, and only at the critical moment did he succeed.
However, things didn't end just like that …
Just as Li Xuanji was about to descend from the sky with a pale face and fear lingering in her heart, the air currents in the sky suddenly changed. Countless mystical dragons gathered together and surrounded Li Xuanji in an instant. That irreversible force brought her to the location of the Samsara poison in an instant ….
At this speed, even if Long Chen wanted to save her, there was no way he could …
He had originally thought that he had succeeded.
However, in the next moment, he personally saw the Samsara Poison, which was like the entire world, enter the space between Li Xuanji's eyebrows and then converged. In that short moment, more than a hundred thousand airflows suddenly disappeared from the sky. The sky of the Massacre Dragon Graveyard became dark again. The majestic scene from before instantly disappeared.
Such a huge change, of course, would be noticed by everyone in the Massacre Dragon Graveyard.
Long Chen didn't have time to despair.
Li Xuanji, who had fused with the Samsara Poison, floated down from the sky. Her eyes were crystal clear as she looked at Long Chen in a daze, as though she had lost her spirit …
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped for him. Long Chen didn't even have time to grieve. Things had already happened just like that. Until now, he was still living in a dream. He just couldn't shake the feeling that everything was unreal.
Li Xuanji, died just like that.
This woman who had once said to him that she would protect him.
She never took the initiative and rarely disturbed him. She only cared about him silently. As long as he was happy, she would be satisfied.
Perhaps to her, Long Chen was everything. However, her heart was always unwilling to express these things. Sometimes, her stubbornness made Long Chen feel helpless. However, she was indeed someone who would risk her life for Long Chen even if it meant giving up her life.
She descended from the sky. Her long hair fluttered in the wind like a black flower descending.
Her eyes were like the most beautiful pearl in the night. At that moment, she was looking at Long Chen with a beautiful smile on her lips.
Silence.
Long Chen suddenly felt that half of his heart was broken. He should have gone crazy, but he didn't. He still held onto the last trace of hope. He felt that the Samsara Poison definitely wouldn't harm her.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanji had already landed in his arms.
The softness and warmth of the woman in his arms told Long Chen that she definitely wasn't dead. Long Chen carried her and stood in the middle of the world.
Massacre Dragon Graveyard. Blood Qi rose.
"I'm not dead yet."
Li Xuanji suddenly calmed down. She took a deep breath and said, "It seems like something is about to descend …"
As for what it was, Long Chen didn't know, but it definitely had something to do with the Samsara Poison.
"I'll take you out of here."
Long Chen's body trembled. In his arms, Li Xuanji was like a fragile vase. She could even die at any time. He carefully carried her and began to speed through the night, rushing past the tombstones.
In the wild wind, Li Xuanji's long hair danced in the wind. She suddenly became as quiet as the night. She calmly looked at Long Chen's frantic expression. The worry and heartbreak in his expression were so obvious, but he didn't panic. He still persisted. At least, he couldn't let Li Xuanji know that he was panicking.
After all, she could very well lose her life soon.
No matter how strong a man was, when faced with a woman who was about to lose her life, his heart couldn't help but be turned upside down.
He didn't know how long he ran, but he was far away from where he was before.
"I won't die …"
Li Xuanji suddenly stretched out an arm and caressed his hardened face as she spoke gently.
"Are you sure?"
In this boundless blood sand, Long Chen stopped in his tracks.
His eyes were burning as he looked at the person in his arms.
Approaching death, Li Xuanji could still remain calm. To her, if she could die in front of him like this, it might be the best ending. It was just that it was a little too early, and she couldn't see him fulfill his wish.
She landed on the ground and spun around gracefully. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, but her face was pale. She said, "I don't know. It's a very strange feeling. It's as if I saw the lives of many Dragon Martial Artists. I saw their realizations. Then, my Heavenly Dao cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. It gradually became separated from my original strength …"
Her original cultivation was not even at the Samsara Realm.
"What is the Samsara Poison? Do you know?"
Long Chen asked anxiously.
Li Xuanji was startled. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Her expression made Long Chen feel that she was hiding something from him.
"Isn't your Master still here? She definitely knows. You definitely know too. Don't hide it from me."
Long Chen looked at her sternly with a burning gaze.
Li Xuanji shook her head and said, "No, don't think too much. Accompany me quietly."
She seemed very calm.
The more she was like this, the more Long Chen couldn't bear it. He concluded that she must be hiding something from him. Thus, he made up his mind and said, "If you don't tell me clearly, I'll leave immediately. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
His unyielding attitude stunned Li Xuanji.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Long Chen turned around and left. This was the only way to threaten her and make her tell the truth.
As expected, she couldn't bear to lose him at the last moment. Thus, she said with some discomfort, "I've already been a burden to you. I don't want to trouble you anymore … Isn't it better to let me fend for myself?"
Long Chen knew that she had something on her mind.
Their hearts were connected, so Li Xuanji couldn't hide it from him.
Long Chen turned around and looked at the lonely woman in the dark night. When he was with her, she was completely different from Lingxi. Lingxi could make Long Chen live a carefree life and enjoy simple happiness. But in front of him, she always kept a distance. She didn't want to owe him and didn't dare to owe him.
He didn't blame Li Xuanji. He could only blame himself for not doing his best.
"Tell me, what effect will the Samsara poison have? This time, I brought you here and implicated you. I should take responsibility."
Long Chen said firmly.
Li Xuanji's cold expression gradually melted, and the tears in her eyes gradually filled up. She had already tried her best not to be a burden to him, but why was he still pestering her and not giving her a chance? However, if he was obedient and let her leave safely, would he still be Long Chen?
Li Xuanji wiped away her tears and tried to make herself stronger before facing Long Chen. She wasn't pretending. She just didn't want to trouble him …
But unfortunately, Long Chen wasn't easy to fool.
"I feel that the One Origin Tribulation is coming."
Li Xuanji gritted her teeth and said it.
"Yes." This was different from what Long Chen had imagined.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Xuanji suddenly said, "Can I return the Ancient God's corpse to you and exchange it for something?"
"What is it?"
Long Chen asked.
"God Favored Spiritual Liquid …"
Under his pressure, Li Xuanji still said it.
Long Chen shook his head. "No, that's something I gave you. You can't return it. As for the God Favored Spiritual Liquid …"
His mind turned as he seemed to understand something.
"Could it be that the Samsara poison caused your Heavenly Dao to soar and the reincarnation tribulation came early? You don't have the strength to resist, so you need the God Favored Spiritual Liquid …"
He finally understood why she didn't want to say it.
From her point of view, the God Favored Spiritual Liquid was Long Chen's treasure.
