Chapter 1146 – Shen Qingzhu’s Choice

　　On the other side.

　　An Qingyu was carrying a black coffin on his back, his gaze sweeping over the two four-winged angels and three four-winged demons in front of him, his face unsightly.

　　The dense concentration of resentful soul demons surrounded him in the air like a tidal wave, and the sharp, ear-piercing, eerie laughter continued one after another, he was like prey trapped in a cage that also held five fierce tigers at the same time.

　　A flash of white shadow flew rapidly from the distance, crashing into one of the black-winged demons, suddenly twisting his body, his pitch-black feathered wings seemed to transform into a blade, chopping at the neck of the angel on his side.

　　The angel’s reaction speed was extremely fast, his figure sidestepped this attack, and it was also this brief distraction that created a tiny gap in the encirclement.

　　An Qingyu’s eyes narrowed and he seized the opportunity to fly out, but the other two demons, with a flick of their four wings, stopped in front of him with almost instantaneous speed.

　　Jiang Er was about to repeat the same trick, when a pillar of brilliant white light fell from the sky and accurately shone on top of her head!

　　The magnetic field form of Jiang Er avoided the several demonic attacks as if they were nothing, but she was encircled in mid-air by this pillar of light, and she was like a fish trapped in a fishbowl, unable to leave the pillar of light by the slightest bit no matter which direction she floated in!

　　”Jiang’er!”

　　An Qingyu’s eyes narrowed as she jerked her head up to look at the sky.

　　Only to see one of the six-winged incandescent angels was pointing a finger in the sky above Jiang Er, and that pillar of clean white light was released from His fingertip.

　　An Qingyu carried the black coffin on his back and quickly rushed in the direction of the pillar of light, but several four-winged demons instantly arrived in front of him, striking out at the same time, leaving a series of hideous wounds on An Qingyu’s body.

　　An Qingyu violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards.

　　After seriously injuring An Qingyu, these four-winged demons hovered silently in the air and did not continue to strike, followed by a steady stream of grievous soul demons coming from all directions, stacking on An Qingyu’s body like a mountain of meat, like a meat cage suppressing him completely.

　　”Jiang …… er ……”

　　An Qingyu stared dead on at Jiang Er within the light pillar, her voice getting weaker and weaker.

　　Boom–!

　　The explosion in the sky pulled Shen Qingzhu’s consciousness back to reality, and he violently moved his gaze away from the Hell Origin, his back already drenched in sweat.

　　He followed the direction from which the sound came and looked into the sky, witnessing Jiang’er being trapped in a pillar of light by incandescent angels, while An Qingyu was again suppressed by a terrifying mountain of flesh.

　　Several huge six-winged blazing angels, along with six-winged fallen angels, looked down on this scene like gods, His eyes were tightly closed, only the worm’s eye in the center of his brow was slightly wriggling, and one of the fallen angels lifted his palm and gently pressed it towards Jiang’er, who was trapped in a pillar of light, as if he was going to completely obliterate him here.

　　”Damn ……”

　　At the edge of the blood pool, Lin Qiye held a sword and a knife in his hands, losing ground under the siege of the four-winged demons.

　　He also saw this scene in the sky, but at this time, he had already fought to the point of being seriously injured and on the verge of death, and was completely blocked off by the four-winged demons, so even if he wanted to go and save Jiang’er and An Qingyu, he was still unable to do so.

　　Shen Qingzhu’s fists clenched uncontrollably.

　　Gurgling blood flowed out from his body, the wound in his abdomen was continuously depriving him of his vitality, and even his consciousness began to blur.

　　He covered the wound with one hand, and vaguely, as his consciousness gradually became chaotic, a thought swept through his mind like lightning!

　　As if he had thought of something, he once again landed his gaze on the black crystal floating in the pool of blood beside him.

　　”The …… Divine Lineage Origin is the foundation that carries the Divine Kingdom, and it is also the centerpiece that controls the Divine Kingdom. ……”

　　The words that Lin Qiye had said once again reverberated in Shen Qingzhu’s heart, his eyes staring intently at the Hell Origin, the deepest longing in his heart, as if it had been aroused by a demon, constantly driving him, step by step, towards the Hell Origin.

　　This thing is the center of hell, destroying it, the entire divine kingdom will be destroyed ……

　　So what if, one tried to control it?

　　Holding the center of the Divine Kingdom, does it mean that he has the qualification to open the “door” to leave?

　　Shen Qingzhu resisted the temptation of the Origin of Hell while trying to think in his mind, and in the end, he could not tell whether this thought came to him or this Origin tempted him to think.

　　He stared at the Hell Origin, and vaguely, a voice echoed in his ears:

　　”Don’t you want them to live?”

　　”Didn’t you want power?”

　　”Don’t you want to stop being a drag?”

　　”……Touch me ……Become one with me ……and you will have all you want.”

　　”Accept me and I …… will fulfill all your desires.”

　　Shen Qingzhu’s eyes gradually hollowed out, he stepped on the cold ice and walked step by step to the front of that black crystal, like a puppet being hoisted up, his movements were stiff and incomparable.

　　As Shen Qingzhu approached, the surface of that black crystal floating in the blood pool, surprisingly flowed out shining black aura, it kept on trembling in the blood pool, shaking away the wriggling red bugs in the blood pool, as if it desperately wanted to leave this place.

　　Shen Qingzhu stopped his steps.

　　The black aura on the surface of the black crystal shone more and more, like a crystal clear black gemstone in the sunlight, and a mysterious power surged into Shen Qingzhu’s mind.

　　He stood in front of the black crystal with empty eyes, slowly raised his right hand and gripped it toward the black crystal ……

　　Right at this moment, Lin Qiye, who was fighting a fierce battle in the distance, seemed to have sensed something and violently turned his head, yelling:

　　”Drag Brother!!!”

　　The instant he heard Lin Qiye’s voice, Shen Qingzhu instantly awoke from his hollow, and the palm that was about to touch the black crystal hovered in the air.

　　Bean-sized cold sweat seeped out from his forehead and dripped down his pale cheeks onto the surface of the frozen blood pool.

　　”Tug! Don’t touch it!” Lin Qiye roared once more.

　　”That’s the origin of the corrupted power that carries the entire hell! Even if it doesn’t reject you! Your fleshly body won’t be able to withstand it!”

　　”Moreover, the evil thoughts contained within it are too strong! Even if you can carry its power! It will also eat away at your mind step by step! Making you its puppet!”

　　”It will turn you into a second Lucifer!!!”

　　Lin Qiye’s successive roars reached Shen Qingzhu’s ears, and his eyes narrowed as he subconsciously tried to withdraw his palm.

　　But in the next moment, his movements stopped again.

　　Shen Qingzhu stood before that black crystal and turned his head slightly, his eyes complexly sweeping over the surroundings.

　　Lin Qiye was surrounded by several four-winged demons, and his body was already riddled with bloody holes as he staggered. In the sky, Jiang Er, who was trapped in a pillar of light, and An Qingyu, who was suppressed under a mountain of flesh, were doing their best to get closer to each other, and the six-winged Fallen Angel that was overlooking the earth was slowly dropping his palms ……

　　He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

　　”Drag Brother!!!” Lin Qiye’s roar came again.

　　Shen Qingzhu opened his eyes, and this time, there was no longer the slightest bit of struggle in his eyes, and in its place, there was an unprecedented calmness.

　　”Sorry, captain.” He slowly spoke, “It doesn’t matter if I can’t withstand the power and collapse, or if I turn into a fallen angel. …… As long as I can exchange my brother’s life, it doesn’t matter what happens.”

　　”Lin Qiye, listen well ……”

　　”I, Shen Qingzhu, won’t be a procrastinator forever.”

　　As the words fell, in the whistling gale, Shen Qingzhu took the initiative to extend his hand ……

　　to hold the flickering black crystal!
