Chapter 439: The Final Battle, Commence! (Part 2)

"

"I can't say for sure, but I have this strange intuition."

"In any case..."

"Promise me, okay?"

Gu Xinglian nodded slightly, "Okay."

"This matter, it's not a problem. You and I, naturally, won't become enemies."

She wasn't that 'sentimental'. Although she was mostly 'passive', saying that she was creating laws was a bit frustrating. But just this bit of frustration didn't make her turn against him.

Even...

Gu Xinglian was very clear that she would never forget the boy in front of her.

Although she didn't let him off verbally.

But if she could return alive, in the future, when she dreams at midnight...

The one she would think of the most, would still be him, right? But these words, she couldn't say.

However, no matter what, she promised him, if there's something, she would speak up, not keep it bottled up, and not let the misunderstanding continue. This was something she could do.

As she responded, her heart also reminded her that if something happened, she might have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and let the misunderstanding go unclarified?

Does he have another woman?

Impossible!

He already had another woman, and moreover, it was before her, strictly speaking, she was the one who...

Cough.

Precisely because of this, she told him to keep his distance, and not have wild thoughts later, okay?

"..."

"Strange."

She didn't think she would misunderstand anything, but on second thought...

Lin Fan wasn't an ordinary person, and since he spoke to her so seriously, there must be a reason! So, she must be careful and cautious!

"You two are out?"

Xu Wei, the outer guardian, showed joy and immediately stood up.

And when she sensed Gu Xinglian's surging strength, she was even more delighted, "Good, good!"

"With the three of us working together, even against the Six Crown King, we might have a chance!"

"I think so!"

Lin Fan nodded.

Family matters are best kept within the family.

With his current battle power, against the Six Crown King, even if he couldn't defeat him right away, but he could delay for some time, was something he could do.

And Gu Xinglian, who was logically stronger than her, plus Xu Wei's assistance...

Why couldn't they defeat the Six Crown King?!

"The battle has already started over there, let's go first and wait for the opportunity."

"But..."

"Don't think of killing them at the last moment."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "There are too many people, so they won't care about that. In the chaos, they'll reduce competitors as quickly as possible."

"Be prepared to act at any time."

Gu Xinglian nodded, "Mm."

Xu Wei spoke, "Of course."

"But, do you remember what I said before we entered? If there's any danger, you two leave first, don't worry about me!"

"Whatever the risk, I'll go first!"

Gu Xinglian's eyes flashed, "Okay."

The three of them left the mountain pass where they had hidden for over three years.

But...

As they left, Gu Xinglian couldn't help but turn back.

Until she could no longer see it, her heart was filled with countless emotions, a feeling of reluctance to leave.

This place...

She might never forget it, huh.

And the hardest thing to accept was that she might never return.

Even if she wanted to revisit this place, it would be extremely difficult.

"Sigh."

The sigh scattered in the wind.

...

On this battlefield, the sky was ravaged by raging winds, and spiritual energy surged like a raging tide.

The silhouettes of every combatant appeared and disappeared in the dim sky, terrifying powers collided in the air, bursting with blinding light as if they would tear the very fabric of space.

Not far away, at the edge of a cliff, a companion of hers stood, an Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal, his long hair blown by the wind, his face serious and calm, like an unmoving mountain.

They had never exchanged words, but through the repeated clashes of their fingertips and blades, they had formed a subtle tacit understanding.

"Jing Wuming."

Barrett suddenly spoke, his voice like a mountain stream, cold and clear, "Look at them, each one like a moth to the flame, for this so-called heart of the world, they have no hesitation."

"And what about you?" Song Tao chuckled coldly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his mind.

He gazed at the fierce battles taking place not far away, where each participant unleashed their signature divine abilities. The air was filled with dazzling immortal light, accompanied by earth-shattering roars.

Jing Wuming remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the mountain of corpses before finally settling on the location of the World Heart, where light overflowed like the brightest star in the night sky.

They understood that only by eliminating the obstacles in their path could they qualify to compete for the ultimate prize.

Just then, a sword beam shimmering with thunderous power quietly approached, aiming straight for their backs.

Song Tao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he spun around, unleashing thousands of sword beams that intertwined to form a net, shredding the incoming sword energy into pieces.

"You dare to ambush me?" he said coldly, his eyes like lightning, piercing the attacker.

The ambusher was a seemingly young cultivator, who, upon failing in his sneak attack, revealed a vicious expression. Instead of retreating, he advanced, launching another assault.

"Amusing," Song Tao said calmly, his heart unperturbed by the situation. With a flash of his sword, he enveloped the young cultivator completely.

In the Multiverse Abyss, especially in this battle, he couldn't afford to show mercy. Every enemy he spared could potentially become a deadly threat.

Everyone... was the same!

Boom! The young cultivator was instantly shattered into pieces, pulverized by countless sword beams, like flesh turned into mud.

The sounds of slaughter on the battlefield gradually became a background cacophony as Song Tao and Jing Wuming, in silent understanding, slowly advanced towards the direction of the World Heart.

Their unspoken agreement made them the most reliable allies, at least until the final outcome was decided.

Then, a deafening explosion reverberated from the distance, tearing the sky apart. The earth trembled as if doomsday had arrived.

Song Tao halted his steps, looking up at the ruptured sky, his determination only growing stronger.

No matter how treacherous this path was, he would see it through to the end.

Behind them, the battle raged on, staining the boundless abyss with blood, while spiritual energy permeated the air with a bloody scent.

Yet, in everyone's eyes, there was an unyielding light, a willingness to sacrifice everything for that ultimate victory.

"Let's go," Jing Wuming said softly, his voice filled with determination for the bloody battle ahead.

"Good."

Song Tao nodded. At this moment, they walked side by side, towards the path leading to endless light, yet it also seemed like an endless abyss. They took resolute steps forward.

Song Tao and Jing Wuming continued their journey, the scenery of the abyss around them constantly changing with their every step.

In their hearts, they held aspirations for the future, but it was tinged with a hint of unease.

A gust of wind blew, fluttering the hem of his garment, but his gaze remained unwavering and clear.

Jing Wuming turned his head, noticing Song Tao's expression, and smiled, "Thinking about that young cultivator from earlier?"

Song Tao nodded slightly, "It seems like he was well-prepared. Our whereabouts must have been exposed long ago."

"That's normal."

Jing Wuming replied calmly, "In an environment like this, nothing can remain hidden for long."

Song Tao fell silent for a moment, knowing that Jing Wuming was right.

No one was a fool.

Everyone knew that only those who survived until the end would be the ultimate victors.

And those currently engaged in the chaotic battles would never let them, who were biding their time, gain an advantage.

We are fighting for our lives, and they want to conserve their strength, only to join the fray at the last moment? How absurd! In the distance, the echoes of the battle still lingered in the air. Suddenly, a pitch-black cloud loomed, carrying an ominous sign.

Jing Wuming stopped in his tracks, frowning slightly, and said to Song Tao, "They're getting closer. It's time to make our move."

"Good!"

The two immediately unleashed their power, actively engaging in this grand battle! They had realized the truth.

If they waited any longer...

They feared that the next time they acted, it wouldn't be against just one person, but a group, or even all the remaining cultivators, surrounding and attacking them. There would be no escape.

Swish!

The immortal sword was unsheathed!

Song Tao descended like a god of slaughter, forcefully entering the battlefield.

Jing Wuming, on the other hand, chose to be more 'low-key'.

He wore a pair of black boxing gloves, their extraordinary nature hidden from sight.

But...

Each punch he landed was extremely vicious, almost as if he was taking down one 'little friend' with every strike.

Song Tao and Jing Wuming advanced together, their auras causing the entire battlefield to tremble in anticipation.

Where Song Tao's sword pointed, there was an unstoppable determination.

The sword beams swept across the battlefield, like silver-white lightning bolts.

This caused Jing Wuming to raise his eyebrows slightly, a glint of admiration in his eyes.

The two walked side by side, the wind carrying the scent of blood and iron.

"I didn't expect your sword intent to have reached such a level," Jing Wuming said, unleashing his fist technique while expressing his admiration.

Song Tao turned his gaze forward, "There are still quite a few obstacles ahead. Let's see who can slay more."

Before he finished speaking, Song Tao took a step forward, instantly appearing in front of their enemies, drawing their attacks towards him.

Jing Wuming followed closely behind, his fists like thunder, each strike deadly.

Whenever an enemy slipped through the gaps in Song Tao's sword strikes, Jing Wuming's fists would precisely fill the gap.

The two seemed to have transformed into an unstoppable killing machine.

Many were shocked by their formidable strength.

"These two are incredibly powerful!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will likely be strong contenders for the World Heart!"

"Indeed, in a short time, they've already slain nearly thirty people..."

However, just as many thought Song Tao and Jing Wuming would dominate the battlefield and shine in the final battle, the two cultivators' expressions suddenly changed.

A chill, from an unknown source, enveloped their hearts.

"Not good!"

Their faces revealed shock, and their initial composure vanished in an instant.

Two individuals simultaneously experienced a jolt, as if an invisible force had isolated them from the battlefield and the world beyond.

Jing Wuming and Song Tao locked eyes, their gazes filled with an unprecedented caution, yet also a hint of reluctance.

"Listen..."

Before Jing Wuming could finish his sentence, his entire body trembled, and his vision became dim.

Song Tao felt his body restrained by an irresistible force, and his sword's light stagnated, unable to advance even half an inch.

"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful opponent..."

Song Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly, forcing himself to stay calm. He tried to sense the changes around him and find a way out, but all his efforts were in vain.

Together, they fell into an unknown abyss.

The battle raged on.

These two, who were supposed to be the protagonists, had already quietly withdrawn from the fight without anyone noticing.

They were gone forever...

Their appearance was like a gentle breeze, brushing past and causing everyone's hair to flutter and their clothes to rustle. But as the breeze passed, everything calmed down, as if they had never been there.

...

Lin Fan and his group witnessed everything through the Sky Gazing Mirror.

Xu Wei Yi's expression turned solemn.

"A gathering of dragons and tigers."

"Song Tao and Jing Wuming are both experts in their fields. I thought they would fight their way to the end, but I didn't expect that after a brief moment of brilliance, they would simply 'extinguish' like this."

"The tallest trees catch the most wind," Lin Fan whispered. "It's precisely because their performance was too eye-catching that others naturally wouldn't let them continue to be so 'reckless'."

"After all, the more they kill, the stronger their invincible momentum and belief become."

"But now, it will take more effort to kill them."

"What should we do?" Star Mother frowned.

They all understood the situation.

But for a moment, they truly didn't know what to do.

Moreover, neither of them noticed...

At this moment, Lin Fan was subtly taking the lead.

Especially Star Mother.

She had asked Lin Fan to come along as an assistant and to borrow his luck as a sort of 'lucky charm', but now...

"Kill!"

Lin Fan whispered, "Staying outside will only make us a target. For now, let's play it safe like the others. We can kill a few people, but not too many."

"It's best to pretend to be injured."

"Maintaining a 'moderate' state is ultimately not wrong."

Lin Fan was familiar with this kind of situation.

After all, he had a disciple who was good at surviving. Although he couldn't share his disciples' thoughts, he was well aware of their tactics.

"Good!"

Xu Wei Yi and Star Mother nodded, and the three of them hurried to the battlefield.

Along the way, Lin Fan pondered, "What background does the person who just attacked have? If I'm not mistaken, it should be... Rujia Dao."

"Rujia Dao?"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

He had never encountered this Rujia Dao before.

The Xianwu Continent didn't have this school of thought.

"Indeed, the Xianwu Continent doesn't have a Rujia Dao lineage, so it's not surprising if you don't know about it. In fact, I haven't seen it either, but we in the various sacred lands have always shared intelligence from the Multiverse Abyss."

"Previously, a senior from the Wuji Palace successfully survived and brought back intelligence that included information about Rujia Dao, but it wasn't much."

"The methods that person used just now should be the techniques of Rujia Dao, such as drawing boundaries and other killing moves."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Rujia Dao.

"Heaven's Path, the gentleman strives for self-improvement."

The number of Rujia Dao cultivators might not be large, but this path is still one of the three thousand great paths, not to be underestimated.

"Kill!"

The battle cry shook the heavens! The sound waves spread, reaching countless miles.

As soon as they entered the battlefield, Lin Fan and the others felt oppressed.

Fortunately, they were prepared.

With the Sky Gazing Mirror put away, they supported each other, forming a triangular formation and joining the battle, participating in the great war.

At this moment...

There was no need to choose whom to fight or kill.

Everyone in sight, except for their own people, was an enemy, and they could all be killed!

Of course, the prerequisite was not to choose the wrong target, to avoid being killed instead of killing others.

Xu Wei Yi, an Eleven Tribulation Loose Immortal, chose his first opponent, a Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal.

The strength gap was enormous.

Therefore, Xu Wei Yi didn't hold back.

After a few exchanges, he swiftly killed his opponent!

The so-called 'moderation' didn't mean they had to appear weak, or even fight with a higher level of cultivation, still unable to defeat their opponents after several exchanges.

It meant maintaining a middle-ground level in their current state, not too strong or too weak, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

Just like at this moment! Xu Wei Yi acted consecutively, and in a short time, he had already killed several people.

An Eleven Tribulation Loose Immortal killing a few people with lower cultivation levels...

Was that strange?

Star Mother's performance was relatively more eye-catching.

It wasn't that she wasn't listening, but her luck wasn't great. She had clearly chosen an opponent of the highest level, and as they clashed, it seemed 'reasonable' that she would defeat her opponent. But suddenly, the opponent's 'senior' appeared.

A Seven Tribulation Loose Immortal.

At first glance, the opponent seemed stronger than Star Mother.

And it was two against one...

Helpless, Star Mother could only slightly reveal some of her strength.

But not too much, just enough to hold her ground against the two opponents.

As for Lin Fan...

This guy was a master of acting!

No matter how many times he was hit, he just wouldn't die.
