Chapter 60: Fight

"Clang——"

A crisp metallic collision sound rang out, and the golden long sword in Lin Xiyue's hand blocked the black-robed man's fist.

"What?!" The black-robed man looked at Lin Xiyue in disbelief; he had not expected this woman's power to be so strong!

"Your power is nothing in my eyes!" Lin Xiyue said coldly, a flash of cold light in her eyes.

"Looking for death!" The black-robed man roared and launched another attack.

Lin Xiyue was not afraid at all, waving the golden long sword and fighting with the black-robed man.

Tang Yun took the opportunity to rush into the golden array.

"No——" The black-robed man saw this and his eyes were about to split; he wanted to pursue, but was tightly entangled by Lin Xiyue.

"Your opponent is me!" Lin Xiyue shouted coldly, and the golden long sword in her hand turned into beams of golden light, shrouding the black-robed man.

"Damn it!" The black-robed man roared repeatedly, but could not break through Lin Xiyue's defense.

The golden array shone brightly, shrouding Tang Yun, then slowly disappeared into the void.

"Tang Yun..." Lin Xiyue looked at the disappearing golden array, a flash of worry in her eyes.

"Hahaha, do you think you can stop me this way?" The black-robed man laughed crazily. "Once I break this array, it will be your death day!"

"Is that so?" Lin Xiyue sneered coldly. "I would like to see how much time you have left!"

As soon as the words fell, the golden long sword in Lin Xiyue's hand shone brightly, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire space.

"Not good!" The black-robed man's expression changed drastically, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.

The golden beam of light hit the black-robed man's body, erupting with a deafening explosion.

The black-robed man's body was blown to pieces, leaving only a roar of unwillingness echoing in the space.

"Time Devourer..." Lin Xiyue looked at the place where the black-robed man had disappeared and muttered to herself, "I hope you can learn your lesson and not try to challenge the order of time again..."

After speaking, Lin Xiyue's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

……

Tang Yun felt as if he had had a very, very long dream, filled with bizarre scenes that made him unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

"Where... where am I?" Tang Yun opened his eyes, looking at the strange environment before him, his mind blank.

"You're awake?" A gentle voice sounded in his ear.

Tang Yun turned his head to see a woman wearing white clothes, with a beautiful face, sitting by the bed and looking at him with concern.

"You are..." Tang Yun looked at the woman before him, his heart filled with confusion.

"Who am I? Don't you remember?" The woman smiled slightly. "I am your wife, Lin Xiyue."

"Wife? Lin Xiyue?" Tang Yun was stunned, and some images flashed through his mind, but those images were incredibly blurry, making him unable to capture them.

"How... how am I here?" Tang Yun shook his head, trying hard to recall what had happened before, only to feel a splitting headache.

"Don't you remember anything?" Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun with worry. "You were injured by the Time Devourer and were in a coma for ten years."

"Ten years?!" Tang Yun looked at Lin Xiyue in shock. "How could this be? What about the Time Devourer? And... and..."

"The Time Devourer has already been eliminated by me." Lin Xiyue said. "As for the rest, I will tell you slowly after you recover your memory."

"Eliminated?" A flash of confusion crossed Tang Yun's eyes; he always felt something was wrong, but couldn't say what.

"Alright, you rest well, I'll go make you some porridge." Lin Xiyue said, getting up and walking out of the room.

Tang Yun lay on the bed, looking at the strange room, his heart filled with confusion and unease.

He didn't know why he was here, didn't know who he was, and didn't know what he was supposed to do.

Tang Yun rubbed his temples, trying hard to recall something, but his head felt stuffed with paste, or as if someone were using an electric drill to work inside, hurting him so much he gasped.

"Ten years? Ten years!" Tang Yun grabbed Lin Xiyue's wrist with astonishing force. "What happened in ten years? What has the world become? And... what about the others?"

Lin Xiyue was startled by his sudden action, but seeing the anxious look in Tang Yun's eyes, she still explained patiently: "Many things happened in ten years, and the world has changed a lot, but you don't have to worry, everything is slowly getting better. As for the others..."

Lin Xiyue hesitated, her eyes flickering, as if she had some unspeakable secret.

"What about the others? Tell me quickly!" Tang Yun was anxious, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

Lin Xiyue bit her lip, as if struggling with something, before slowly opening her mouth to say: "The others... they were infected by a strange virus and are still in a coma. No one knows when they will wake up."

"Virus? What virus?" Tang Yun's brows furrowed, and a sense of unease spread in his heart.

"This virus is called the 'Taixu Virus'; it seems to be a mutation of energy leaked from the Taixu Singularity, capable of infecting the gene chains of all civilizations, leading to gene collapse, and eventually..." Lin Xiyue's voice choked up as she said this.

"Eventually what will happen?" Tang Yun's heart rose to his throat.

"Eventually they will become... walking corpses without consciousness." Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, enduring the sorrow in her heart, and continued, "Now the entire world is suffering from the ravages of the 'Taixu Virus'; countless people have lost their lives, and even more are struggling on the edge of life and death."

"How could this be..." Tang Yun muttered to himself, images of the apocalypse appearing in his mind, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

"But don't worry, I have already found a way to treat the 'Taixu Virus', as long as..." Before Lin Xiyue could finish, she was grabbed by the shoulders by Tang Yun.

"What did you say? You found a treatment method? What method is it? Tell me quickly!" Tang Yun asked excitedly, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun's anxious expression, her heart filled with complex emotions. She patted Tang Yun's hand gently and said softly: "Don't be excited, listen to me slowly..."

"Ten years ago, in order to save the space-time destroyed by the Time Devourer, you used Chaotic Medical Qi to reshape the timeline, but this also caused the Taixu Singularity energy to leak, forming the 'Taixu Virus'. And I have been researching the 'Taixu Virus' all these years and finally found a way to restrain it..."

"What method?" Tang Yun asked eagerly, wishing he could know the answer immediately.

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath and said slowly: "I discovered that the essence of the 'Taixu Virus' is actually a mutant of your Chaotic Medical Qi!"

"What?!" Tang Yun was shocked, as if he had heard something unbelievable. "How is this possible?!" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
