Chapter 381: On the Verge of Death

“Little girl! I have no intention of becoming your enemy! Don’t be ungrateful!”

The Three-legged Golden Crow threatened Nalan Lengling while dodging the sword qi released by the Flowing Smoke Sword in Nalan Lengling’s hand.

Although Nalan Lengling did not gain any advantage in the exchange of blows, her imposing manner did frighten the Three-legged Golden Crow quite a bit!

“This is the last warning! Get lost!”

Nalan Lengling’s eyes were red as she stared at the Three-legged Golden Crow, her eyes full of killing intent!

‘F*ck! What did you do to this girl? Are you crazy?’

‘Nothing, I just confessed to her. Didn’t you say that it would be easy to deal with her?’

‘F*ck! You said that this is your girlfriend. What if I hurt her and you go back on your words?’

‘Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person. Just do your best and hurt her as much as you can.’

‘Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re really cruel. Forget it. Since you’ve already said so, I will let you see what a Three-legged Golden Crow is capable of!’

Just as the voice transmission ended, the Three-legged Golden Crow suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky!

Legend had it that in the ancient sky, there were ten suns. The scorching heat made it hard for the people to live and was on the verge of extinction.

Later, a human named Yi appeared. He shot nine suns in a row with an immortal weapon, and the last sun was a golden crow.

Although the authenticity of the legend was still to be verified, it also proved that the Golden Crow Clan was also an expert in fire techniques!

“Great Sun Annihilation technique!”

The Three-legged Golden Crow shouted. In the next moment, he seemed to have turned into a sun, bursting out with dazzling light!

A scorching wave of air attacked, and Nalan Lengling had no choice but to retreat!

“Little girl, you’re still a little lacking when it comes to using fire spells! If the True Phoenix Clan was here, perhaps Lord Bird, I, would still be a little afraid of them, but as for you, you don’t have the qualifications!”

“Too much nonsense!”

Nalan Lengling’s defeat did not shake her. She gathered her strength and used water spells to resist the fire spells!

“Water Floods the Golden Mountain!”

Nalan Lengling put her palms together. A huge wave swept over from behind her and rushed toward the Three-legged Golden Crow!

The Three-legged Golden Crow was obviously shocked by this scene.

‘Dual cultivation of water and fire, she’s good!’

‘Cut the crap, can you handle it?’

‘Let me ask, what extent of injury…’

‘As long as she doesn’t die!’

‘Alright!’

After receiving Victor’s affirmation, the Three-legged Golden Crow did not hold back anymore. Its black-gold wings glided past and actually cut through the huge waves!

Water magic countered fire magic, and this was only under the premise that both sides were equal in strength.

If it was in a crushing state, fire magic was also the nemesis of water magic!

Seeing that the momentum of the huge waves was no longer there, the Three-legged Golden Crow took the initiative to carry a huge sun and crashed into the huge waves!

In the blink of an eye, the huge wave completely evaporated!

“Overestimating yourself!”

The Three-legged Golden Crow sneered and flew toward Nalan Lengling. It flapped its wings, and the sharp feathers could split Nalan Lengling into two in the next moment!

However, at this moment!

Victor suddenly stood up and rushed in front of Nalan Lengling, blocking this almost fatal attack for her!

Correspondingly! Blood sprayed out, and Victor’s chest was cut open!

“Wang Cheng!”

The incident happened suddenly. Nalan Lengling only came back to her senses when Victor collapsed on the ground. She held Victor in her arms.

‘F*ck! Why did you come up here!’ the Three-legged Golden Crow sent a voice transmission to Victor to confirm whether he was alive or dead.

‘Get lost, it’s none of your business.’

After confirming that Victor was safe and sound, the Three-legged Golden Crow heaved a sigh of relief and sneered, “I thought of killing her before killing you. In the end, you came to me of your own accord, which saved me some effort.”

The Three-legged Golden Crow put away the big sun, sneered, and turned to leave, leaving Nalan Lengling, who was hysterical, sobbing while she held Victor in her arms.

“Wang Cheng! Damn it!”

Seeing this scene, Nalan Lengling clenched her teeth. She raised her long sword and was about to fly to chase after the Three-legged Golden Crow, but Victor pulled her sleeve.

“Senior sister… Don’t go…”

“Are you a fool!”

Nalan Lengling stopped in her tracks. With a clang, the Flowing Smoke Sword fell to the ground.

Seeing the blood spurting out of Victor’s chest, Nalan Lengling covered her mouth and tears fell silently.

“Senior sister… Don’t cry… you’ll become ugly…”

Victor reached out his hand and caressed the young girl’s face. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but due to the pain, his smile looked twisted.

“How can you be so stupid! How am I supposed to explain this to Wang Cui and master!?”

“If you die… I won’t be able to convince myself either… Senior sister, do it for me and live on…”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t reveal my feelings to you earlier. Fortunately… Fortunately, I said it out loud. I have no regrets.

“Remember… to bring me back to Mount Daba…

“It’s a pity that when you pass by someday…I’ll no longer exist in the human world…”

Victor’s eyes were red with tears, and his hand that was gently caressing her face fell.

“Wang Cheng! Wang Cheng!”

Nalan Lengling gritted her teeth and summoned the flying crane.

“Wang Cheng! I’ll bring you back now! You have to hold on!”

“It’s useless. By the time you get back to the Fire Sect, he’ll be dead already. Besides, the Fire Sect doesn’t have the means to save him.”

At the right time, Elder Tianji appeared and sighed.

“I’ve been chasing after that flat-haired beast. I didn’t expect to be one step too late. He still got what he wanted.”

“Senior! Senior! You can definitely save Wang Cheng, right?!” Nalan Lengling seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as she stared unblinkingly at Elder Tianji.

“Difficult. If I save him, I’m afraid I’ll have to die here. In fact, there’s no need for me to do this for him.”

Hearing this, Nalan Lengling’s chest felt extremely heavy. She was unable to convince Elder Tianji to sacrifice himself to save Wang Cheng.

“Master! Master will find a way!”

She refused to believe the truth. Nalan Lengling picked up Victor and flew onto the white crane.

“Give up. In the entire Central Plains, I’m the only one who can save his life. In this situation, his heart has been cut open. Only the True Phoenix Clan’s Fire Rebirth method can save his life.”

“How… How is this possible…?”

Hearing this, Nalan Lengling’s last hope was destroyed. The True Phoenix Clan had been extinct for thousands of years. She looked at Wang Cheng, who was gradually losing his life force, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

“I thought that after I started cultivating in the Fire Sect, I will leave the sect when I reach the completion stage of the core formation realm to look for opportunities in hopes of breaking through to the nascent soul realm. Perhaps I would succeed and become an expert, or fail and die halfway. That would’ve been my life.

“However, the heavens played a joke on me, and I just had to meet you. You made my dark life a little brighter.”

Nalan Lengling shook her head and wiped away the tears that fell from the corner of Victor’s eyes. She buried her head gently into Victor’s neck. Her tears were like water that had been freed from a dam, and they could not be held back as they slid down, wetting Victor’s collar.

The breeze blew past the sycamore tree. The sound of the falling leaves represented the sound of parting.
