Chapter 107: The shock in the rain
I don’t understand what Lin Xiaohua is doing. Her goal was to destroy the god’s plan, and now that the array has been destroyed, the god can’t do it anymore. Besides, he has already sworn to kill me, so it’s impossible for him to carry out this plan.
It can be said that Lin Xiaohua has been completely successful.
She should be lucky. She probably wasn’t completely sure about this plan. Luckily, my master passed on three secret techniques to me, one of which is “turning injuries.”
This is a complete “transfer of injury,” which is somewhat similar to the transfer of injury in the medical vein, but it is not exactly the same, because the transfer of injury in the medical vein is limited by too many conditions, and it is not related to the person himself. In other words, this kind of transfer of injury does not require the person in the medical vein to pay too much of a price.
The essence of my transfer injury is to find a “surrogate doll” effect, that is to say, if the recipient is willing, everything I have suffered can be transferred to him in an instant.
This technique can be said to be not only extreme, but also somewhat dark and despicable. As for the price, there is only one thing: the sacrifice of one’s own life in advance. Then this substitute technique can take effect instantly.
So, I sacrificed five years of my life the night before… If I hadn’t used the substitute body technique, I would have gotten three years of my life back… This is also the radical nature of this technique.
How much was it supposed to be? Ten years, or fifteen? I was also lucky, because the damage was done to a corpse, a corpse with an incomplete soul. If it had been a living person, the price would have been even greater.
The master saved me like he had a trump card ready, which relieved my worries and also Lin Xiaohua’s biggest worry.
Because she didn’t expect that she could destroy the array so easily.
But now, what does she mean by pouncing on me? Hasn’t she already achieved her goal? I don’t understand this woman at all… She hugged me tightly with her arms, not showing any intention of letting go.
I was surprised by the strange situation of the gray-robed man, but my intuition had something to do with the gods. I looked up and sure enough, the god’s face was showing a morbid redness… He was staring at the situation here with his eyes wide open, his eyes were cold, and his eyes were filled with angry flames.
I felt a clear flow of energy, surging towards God.
In fact, God must be performing the forbidden technique that Lin Xiaohua mentioned. It turns out that so many lives have to be sacrificed… Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do at this moment.
I gently pushed away Lin Xiaohua, a woman I didn’t understand, and then sighed and said, “I’m going over there.”
I was referring to the altar.
At this moment, the thunder and lightning in the sky had gradually subsided, but the dark clouds had become even thicker, and it looked as if it was going to rain in this unchanging place.
In the midst of the rolling smoke and dust, the altar had been completely destroyed, reduced to rubble, and the debris was everywhere, but it revealed a corner of a strange black building inside, with intricate and complex patterns. The black door was locked, and if it were opened… it would be the answer to my years of searching.
Thinking about this, my heart couldn’t help but quicken. As for Lin Xiaohua’s saying that she would go with me, and then holding my arm tightly and leaning on me, I didn’t care much.
In this way, the three of us walked on this chaotic platform, no one cared about us, and no one bothered us… In the gradually weakening thunder and lightning, the heavy dark clouds seemed unable to bear the weight any longer, and finally scattered into rain, falling on the platform with a loud clatter.
“Huh…” Seeing the rain, Lin Xiaohua suddenly became very happy, immediately let go of my arm, and rushed into the rain.
She opened her arms and laughed happily, and the whole person couldn’t help but spin in circles in the rain while jumping forward, looking cute and innocent, like a naive little girl.
I couldn’t help but smile at the corner of my mouth, as if I could feel her happiness. Since she was not afraid of death, why would I deprive myself of the right to laugh and be happy?
We were approaching the altar step by step. At this point, there was no need to run. In fact, I just wanted to make myself walk more calmly and die more calmly. At this time, I could laugh happily. Even Grandma Ling Qing was infected by Lin Xiaohua’s happiness. Her body stopped shaking and she also laughed out loud.
I didn’t care that the cold eyes of the gods were always following me. Lin Xiaohua, who had had enough fun in the rain, even threw off her shoes and walked happily in the rain… She didn’t care that the rainwater scattered on the ground was mixed with the blood stains left by the fight on the platform… She ran towards me, hooked my neck and shouted happily, “Chen Chengyi, I finally discovered your greatness. After I came here, I haven’t seen any rain.”
“Really?” I casually replied, but my eyes were fixed on the altar. We were already very close to it.
“Yes, Chen Chengyi.” Lin Xiaohua rushed into the rain again, letting the rain that was gradually falling into heavy rain wet her hair, but it was accompanied by a cold snort from the gods.
It was just a simple snort, but it was like the coldest snake suddenly raising its head. At that moment, my body couldn’t help but stiffen a little, but my steps were still very calm.
In the pouring rain, I was finally less than 20 meters away from the altar, but at this time, the chaotic fighting on the platform had stopped… The black-robed necromancers suddenly gathered together, surrounding us in a crescent formation.
Those who were fighting in front of the altar simply blocked our path.
This sudden change made Lin Xiaohua, who had been happy like an elf in the rain, suddenly stop. The next moment, when she turned to look back, her face had already become a little gloomy. She walked towards me, took my arm, and whispered in my ear, “It turns out that I don’t know enough.”
I didn’t pay much attention to this, but I said in a soft voice, “I know you have a lot of influence on the gods. I don’t have any other requests, and it doesn’t matter if I die. I only have two requests. First, I hope I can die inside.” I pointed to the black door.
Then I continued, “Keep her alive. She is my master’s wife and also my half-mother.”
Lin Xiaohua bit her lower lip and didn’t say anything. She turned her head at that moment and her eyes fell on a place not far away. There, God had already stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking down at us in that condescending manner.
“Chen Chengyi, it’s so easy to kill you right now, isn’t it?” The voice of the god was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the midst of the heavy rain.
It was already a lucky thing for me that he didn’t kill me right away. I guessed that the reason he didn’t kill me right away was because of Lin Xiaohua. Thinking about my last two wishes, I couldn’t help but gently pat Lin Xiaohua. If she could help me achieve them, I wouldn’t need to choose between death and destruction at the end, because Granny Ling Qing was my concern.
I was afraid that Grandma Lingqing would be mistakenly injured in the chaos.
Before, I had planned to do so, but I really couldn’t let go of Grandma Lingqing. After all, Xiaohua had already become so weak.
Not only were there black-robed people surrounding us, but also green-robed people were also surrounding us… I stopped walking at this moment and looked at the god.
The anger in his eyes was getting colder and colder, but this anger was not only directed at me, but also at Lin Xiaohua.
Lin Xiaohua ignored my hint, she just smiled at the god, and the god seemed to think that the situation was already decided. He suddenly looked up, took a deep breath, and shouted at Lin Xiaohua, “I’ll give you one last chance. Come here.”
“I don’t,” Lin Xiaohua replied simply and directly.
“Huh…” The god laughed in anger, then said in a cold voice, “That’s fine. Then I’ll kill him first. You know, I have many ways to kill him immediately.”
I was tense all over. If I was going to die this way, I didn’t mind trying my best. I quietly let go of Ling Qing’s grandmother’s hand, ready to push her away at any time.
“Oh? Then I don’t mind.” As she spoke, Lin Xiaohua suddenly turned around and hugged me, holding me very tightly. It looked like she was going to kiss me again.
What is this woman doing?
“Well, you can die too.” The god suddenly became angry, and the burst of his aura made the rain that was falling seem to suddenly stop.
Lin Xiaohua turned her head, seemingly looking at the god with contempt, but still without hesitation.
I could hear the sound of the god grinding his teeth. In my eyes, Lin Xiaohua’s face, with her eyes closed, was getting closer and closer.
At the same time, a dull ‘creak’ broke the dull atmosphere. My heartbeat suddenly quickened, and I couldn’t help turning my head…
