The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 96

"Qing Ruo, if you do this, even if you take me away, you will damage your cultivation base…"

Lian Ling who had white hair and a red dress said with a teary face. His heart ached, but at the same time, he was moved with a shock.

Soon after, he seemed to have made up his mind. He muttered, "Good... If you're not afraid to die for me, so how can I survive in silence?"

Bang out!

He suddenly exploded with a dazzling and brilliant light, emitting a terrifying and tyrannical strength. 

Immediately after, he fought back with all his might to neutralize the power of the Soul Shackling Lantern!

The lantern shook violently and let out a deafening wailing sound.

Then, surprisingly, Lian Ling managed to break free from her shackles!

However, he was clearly severely injured, and his figure was increasingly unclear, it seemed like he could be destroyed at any moment.

It was then that Qing Ruo fought desperately to be able to reach his side. When he saw the condition of the woman he loved, his heart felt so sick, he was now only filled with wrath and anger. 

"Just wait! I'm going to slaughter everyone here! I won't let any of you live!" 

Qing Ruo emphasized every word, then shouted, her voice filled with endless hatred.

Bang out!

He swung his sword and continued to fight towards the ruins. Layer after layer of formations could do nothing to stop its movement.

"I'll go with you." Lian Ling was obviously severely injured and on the verge of collapse, but as she accompanied Qing Ruo's struggle, the white-haired woman in red dress smiled sweetly and gently.

Qing Ruo was the weapon spirit of Bai Chen, the second generation leader of the Eternal Dragon Palace.

While Lian Ling was the first weapon spirit ever forged by the sect's founder, Ghost King Hun Long.

Although no one knew it, the two sword spirits had long fallen in love, they had sworn to stay together until death separated them.

Chuyu, Yin Ying, and Zhi Guan watched from a distance, their expressions fickle and erratic.

But none of them panicked. 

"Master Feng was indeed like a god, his words back then had actually happened just now!" Zhi Guan sighed.

Before Feng Zun left, he had set up many precautions, and he had even warned them about the possibility that Lian Ling would attack them.

The reason for suspecting this was simple, Lian Ling once asked Feng Zun, "Does being a sword spirit mean my life is not mine alone, and others can decide about my life and death?"

It was because of this question that Feng Zun did not trust him completely, this was also the reason why he left behind so many precautions, before he left.

What happened now was an unquestionable confirmation of Feng Zun's suspicions from the very beginning.

How could Zhi Guan not sigh in admiration?

"The woman is very unfortunate, but her decision has brought misfortune upon herself. Young Master Feng Zun had given him a chance, but he chose not to appreciate it."

Chuyu sighed, then turned to Yin Ying, "Continue and do as Young Master commands."

Yin Ying nodded, then solemnly took out the talisman.

Weng Xue and Hua Jin each also had such talismans…

This was the source of the confidence of Chuyu and the others.

Thus, even when Qing Ruo was roaring about killing all of them madly, none of them panicked. In fact, they found it rather depressing…

But then, before Yin Ying could take action, a cold laughter sounded.

"You evil creatures dare to troublemaker in this region? You seem really tired of living and taking death for granted!" 

Chuyu and the others were stunned.

A withered-looking blind old man, with a disheveled appearance, suddenly appeared in the Absolute Nine Formation, out of nowhere.

Then, the blind old man waved his hand.

Bang out!

A talisman exploded, shooting out sword qi with shocking force, which flashed through the air.

Cracks!

Something broken sounded.

The figure of Qing Ruo, as well as the sword he controlled, the Heavenly Calamity, split into two, giving no resistance in the slightest, as if nothing more than pulp!

"Simplified..!!"

Qing Ruo let out a pitiful scream.

Both parts of his body trembled in the air, as if trying to reunite his parts.

But in the end, he couldn't do it. 

And when Qing Ruo saw nearby Lian Ling collapse, she shouted loudly, “Lian Liing... !!”

The attack of the blind old man had made his previous figure even more faint, finally collapsing completely. All that was left of him was a very thin illusion.

"Qing Ruo, actually, when we first teamed up to kill Bai Chen, I had predicted that this day would come." Lian Ling's words were disjointed, and her voice sounded so weak. "But on the other hand, I'm already happy, because I can die with you...…"

Even before his voice finished echoing in the air, Lian Ling disappeared completely.

"Lian Ling..Lian Ling....!!!"

Qing Ruo's figure sank dejectedly, as if she had lost every inch of her soul.

It seemed like he could not bear this reality, he finally gave up on his struggle, and his split body parts turned into light dots and disappeared in the void.

Chuyu and the others felt turbulent upon seeing this.

Qing Ruo and Lian Ling were both sword spirits, and the feeling between them was very deep, giving rise to a heartwarming sight. 

However, it was hard to pity their deaths. They were all well aware, that if Qing Ruo managed to get into the ruins, or if they did not have the precautions Feng Zun left behind, that was, Qing Ruo would not let any of them stay alive!
