Following the Blood Demon's activation, an earth-shattering power exploded. The entire cave shook as though it could collapse at any moment. It was as though it was the end of the world.
With my current strength, it would be hard for me to block such a strong impact.
* Weng weng. *
I heard an almost inaudible sound as the golden snake sword darted out and blocked in front of me. As expected, it was telepathically linked. At my most critical moment, it reappeared!
I gripped the golden snake sword tightly as I blocked wave after wave of explosions. After a short while, the sturdy cave turned into a pile of ruins.
The Blood Demon didn't stop there. He used all his strength to release a few strikes and revealed a malevolent smile. "Brat, you asked for it!"
Although he had personally destroyed the Great King's sacrifice, he didn't regret it. After all, it was a life and death battle. If he wasn't as skilled as the others, he would have failed miserably.
In such a situation, he couldn't be merciful. After a series of explosions, the Blood Demon finally stopped.
"It's over!" He muttered to himself.
"Not yet." At that moment, a sharp sword light pierced through the countless rocks and headed for the Blood Demon.
"What!" The Blood Demon was shocked as he instinctively dodged.
* Hong. *
Soon after, the pile of rocks exploded and a familiar figure walked out, staring at him angrily.
"You bastard! You even want to kill the woman who once admired you the most! Are you still human?!" I roared in a stern voice, as if I couldn't restrain my anger.
"Hehe, you said it yourself. That was in the past. Plus, you destroyed our thousand-year marriage. How dare you point fingers at me?" The Blood Demon didn't get angry but smiled instead.
"Thousand-year marriage?
All along, it's been her wishful thinking, allowing you to take advantage of her. You can deceive her, but you can't deceive yourself. To be honest, when it comes to relationships, you're a complete heartless man. Today's outcome is entirely your own doing!
For the so-called great cause of the Devil's Path, everyone is deserted. How pitiful! "My words were filled with disdain.
If it was me, no matter what the situation was, I would never take advantage of a woman who had deceived me, let alone sharpening my blade. Even if I had to sacrifice myself, I would not hurt them. Although I could not treat every woman wholeheartedly, at least I would do my best, unlike Blood Demon who kept brainwashing Witch Ye Ji. There was no doubt that she was not a foolish woman, she was just someone who did not want to face the situation.
Even though we were enemies, I had unknowingly treated Witch Ye Ji as a friend. I felt sorry for her.
"Hmph, brat, you don't have to stand on the moral high ground to criticize me. It's just the pot calling the kettle black. Let's wait and see."
Waving his hand, Blood Demon once again activated the Blood Spirit Pearl. A blood-red cloud appeared beneath his feet, and he fled at a relatively fast speed.
Actually, my current situation was not good. It was only because the Golden Snake Sword had recovered that I dared to confront Blood Demon. However, the Blood Spirit Pearl had absorbed the witch's spirit power, so it had a certain degree of lethality. That was why I did not chase after him. If I couldn't withstand it, I would not have a good ending.
I rushed back into the pile of stones and crazily searched for Witch Ye Ji's figure. When I had detonated my primordial spirit, it hadn't been Blood Demon's primordial spirit, but Witch Ye Ji's!
In other words, the spirit that she had accumulated for a thousand years had exploded in an instant. That was an extremely destructive power. Fortunately, I had the Golden Snake Sword to protect me. In addition to the strong defense of the Yi Jin Scripture's sixth cycle, I had only received a slight impact. It could be said that it was not a big deal.
I continued to search through the pile of stones. As the saying goes, if alive, I want to see the person. If dead, I want to see the corpse. However, after searching for a long time, I found nothing. An unprecedented sense of loss surged from the depths of my heart.
"Witch, where did you go?"
I said dumbly. My mind was filled with the scene before the primordial spirit explosion, especially when I had stood up to protect her. Although I couldn't see Witch Ye Ji's expression at that time, I believed that she would think that I was a man!
At that moment, spots of light appeared in the surroundings. Shortly after, they gathered to form a familiar face — Witch Ye Ji.
"Witch!" I instinctively moved closer, but there was nothing. "Zhuang Feng, thank you.
"Zhuang Feng, thank you. I'm completely dead now. What you saw was just a trace of my will. To be honest, I regret loving someone I shouldn't have loved. I also envy your women. They don't need to think too much, they just need to love you, and you will love them even more. This is especially good. If there's a next life, I hope to be your woman!" Witch Ye Ji said with tears in her eyes. Her pretty face had a trace of shyness.
She was so beautiful that it made me lose my mind. However, after hearing Witch Ye Ji's confession, I felt a lump in my throat. As the saying goes, a man doesn't cry easily because he hasn't been deeply hurt.
If I had been born in that era and met Witch Ye Ji, it would have been a wonderful thing. She was really stubborn, but she had a personality that dared to love and hate. At the last moment of her life, Blood Demon had intentionally or unintentionally signaled her to attack me. Witch Ye Ji didn't obey. It was enough to show that she still had principles.
However, sometimes, after taking that step, there was no turning back. Sigh, maybe death was a release for her.
Even if she stayed by my side, she might not be able to forget her past memories.
"Zhuang Feng, goodbye …" Witch Ye Ji smiled happily when she saw my sad expression.
Then, the spots of light gradually dispersed like sand. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop it.
* Plop. * I half-knelt on the ground with a remorseful expression. Then, I muttered to myself, "Witch, I'm sorry."
I watched helplessly as she left this world, yet I couldn't do anything about it. That feeling made me feel terrible.
