Chi Yan was also frightened for a moment, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
However, in that instant, the corpses were already at their feet. A corpse immediately grabbed Chi Yan's foot, but the corpse's hand quickly started smoking as if it was burning. The corpse screamed and instantly retracted its hand, not daring to touch him again. Many corpses did not dare to approach, as if there was something about Chi Yan that made them afraid.
Chu Yang saw this: ???
Was her Chi Yan really that powerful?
Chi Yan didn't know what was going on either and exchanged glances with Chu Yang. But now was not the time to think about that. Chu Yang quickly thought, waving her scepter and taking out a crystal ball. She chanted a spell: "Hellfire, extinguish all evil, come forth."
Instantly, those corpses were set ablaze, screaming "Ahhhh!" All the corpses were burning and screaming, even emitting a nauseating smell.
"Ugh!" Chu Yang and Chi Yan both vomited.
After a while, all the corpses had burrowed into the ground, and all the evil beings had disappeared.
But the trees nearby had caught fire.
Chu Yang chanted a water spell to extinguish the flames, and everything returned to normal.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yang was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the ground. She looked at Chi Yan and said, "Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at the foot of the mountain?"
Chi Yan hugged her, "I was worried about you. You didn't come back for a long time. I called, but you didn't pick up." The more he thought about it, the more distressed and scared he felt.
Chu Yang hugged him back, "I'm sorry for worrying you."
Now was not the time to rest, as Zhu Ying was still over there. The two quickly stood up and headed towards Zhu Ying. "Call your uncle and ask him to send people over. Tell him Zhu Ying has been captured."
"Okay."
Just as Chi Yan finished the call, somehow Zhu Ying broke free from his restraints and emerged from the bushes, holding a sword. He thrust it directly at Chu Yang.
Without hesitation, Chi Yan pushed Chu Yang aside and threw himself on top of her. Zhu Ying thrust again, but Chi Yan rolled and kicked him away. Chu Yang quickly stood up and flung her scepter at Zhu Ying, hitting him hard and causing him to become dizzy. The scepter circled back into Chu Yang's hand.
Chu Yang was about to chant a spell to restrain Zhu Ying, but he quickly charged at them again, throwing talismans that exploded with loud bangs. Chi Yan hurriedly embraced Chu Yang tightly to protect her from harm.
In the smoke, Zhu Ying suddenly burst out and thrust his sword directly at Chu Yang. Chi Yan spun around and shielded Chu Yang with his back. "Shick!" A sound rang out as the sword pierced Chi Yan's chest.
As the sword was pulled out, blood spurted forth.
Chu Yang's heart shattered as she stared wide-eyed, tears streaming down her face.
Chi Yan wanted to say something but coughed up a mouthful of blood instead.
"Yan!" Chu Yang cried out.
Chi Yan collapsed to the ground. Chu Yang calmed herself down; now was not the time to panic. She chanted another spell: "By my command, summon the divine. Dear Sarawaso, come forth."
The earth shook violently, and a powerful, dark shadow appeared, different from before. This one was even stronger, holding a scythe in its hand.
Chu Yang's face was pale and cold as she pointed at Zhu Ying and commanded, "Destroy him!"
The shadow swung its scythe in a sweeping motion. Zhu Ying had no way to defend himself as he coughed up blood and collapsed. As he tried to struggle, another swing of the scythe cut him, making him feel as if his internal organs would shatter.
His limbs also went numb, as if they had been severed and no longer obeyed him.
Zhu Ying spat blood, refusing to die here. He tried to reach into his pocket, but the shadow swung its scythe down again!
"Shick!" With that sound, Zhu Ying convulsed, his body shuddering before his wide-open eyes became still.
There were no visible external wounds, but the man was dead.
Soon after, the shadow disappeared, and Chu Yang collapsed weakly to the ground. But she still thought of Chi Yan and quickly crawled over to him, calling "Yan, Yan."
On the other side, Chi Yan's breath was faint, his chest covered in blood. His consciousness was hazy, but he saw Chu Yang crawling towards him. He tried to reach out his hand, but found he couldn't move. He wanted to speak, but moving caused him to cough up more blood. He felt that he might make his beloved Yang sad, but as long as she was okay, that was enough.
It was just that he might not be able to stay by her side anymore.
He silently prayed in his heart, "I'm sorry... If possible, please let the heavens bless my Yang. I know I'm not very useful and couldn't do much when Yang was in danger. In fact, she always had to come and save me."
But what could he do? He truly loved her too much. In Chi Yan's mind, he recalled the first time they met, then memories of Yang eating, laughing, studying diligently, and rescuing people during various incidents. She was too good; sometimes he felt he didn't deserve her. That's why he became increasingly clingy, because he knew that if Yang broke up with him, he might go crazy.
That wonderful Yang could only belong to him alone. But now he felt he might not be able to stay by her side anymore. "I'm sorry, Yang. And no matter what, please don't forget me. Even if you meet someone else in the future, don't forget me."
Chi Yan felt his possessiveness was still quite strong. His usual gentle demeanor was just an act. Even if he was gone, he hoped he could be a thorn in Chu Yang's heart, something that would cause her pain if she tried to remove it. Yes, he was that selfish.
Chi Yan's consciousness gradually faded, and his eyes soon grew dark.
When Chu Yang crawled to Chi Yan's side, she could sense his life force fading. She could only call out, "Yan! Yan!"
...
When Chi Xin arrived with people, the scene was in disarray. Zhu Ying was lying on the ground, seemingly dead. There were signs of burned trees in the area. And his nephew was lying on the ground, covered in blood, with Chu Yang weeping over his body.
Chi Xin's legs went weak, and his assistant quickly supported him. Chi Xin pushed the assistant away and ran over, kneeling beside Chi Yan. Although he knew the outcome, he still clung to a shred of hope.
Chi Xin trembled as he placed his hand under Chi Yan's nose, then his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground, his eyes reddening. "Yan!"
Chu Yang's face was as white as a ghost's. Suddenly, she remembered, "There's a way, there's a way."
Chu Yang took out a crystal ball from her bag. "There's a way."
Chi Xin looked at her, sensing something was off. "What method?"
His nephew had ended up like this, but he didn't blame her. He knew that in the past, Zhu Ying had always wanted to match that Zhu family girl with his nephew for some purpose. Later, he had consulted the enlightened Dao master, who said that if Zhu Ruxin and Chi Yan were together, Zhu Ruxin would definitely undergo a positive change. Apparently, Zhu Ruxin was meant to be Zhu Ying's "food," so it would be better for Zhu Ying if she was with Chi Yan.
