Chapter 321: Breaking the Seal of Memory

The blades in the soldiers' hands reflected a chilling luster.

After catching up to the two, they swung their blades one after another to hack at Wang Jianqiang, who was sprawled on Luo Yunshang's back.

Luo Yunshang was so frightened her face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to dodge.

But after avoiding most of the blades, two still ended up hacking into Wang Jianqiang's back.

They left two bloody, gaping wounds on his back.

The massive impact caused Luo Yunshang to lurch forward a few steps before she collapsed directly to the ground.

Wang Jianqiang slid off her back and rolled to the side.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang's blood-drenched back, Luo Yunshang was completely stunned.

After a moment of blankness, she scrambled over to Wang Jianqiang's side, stretched out her trembling hands, and pressed them hard against his back, trying to plug the wounds.

But the blood continued to flow out incessantly.

"Blood~"

"Little Jianqiang~ You're bleeding, you've lost so much blood~"

Luo Yunshang's panicked voice, laced with sobs, reached his ears, but Wang Jianqiang no longer had the strength to speak.

He had already been injured, and before his wounds could heal, he had been beaten by three vagrants.

He hadn't had time to recover before he was slashed twice more.

That he hadn't died immediately already made him feel quite surprised at the tenacity of his own vitality.

After Luo Yunshang spoke, she received no response from Wang Jianqiang, which made her expression grow even more flustered.

While pressing hard on Wang Jianqiang's wounds, she kept whispering to herself.

"So much blood~"

"Little Jianqiang, you've lost so much blood~"

"Losing this much blood will kill someone~"

"It will kill someone!"

Just at this moment.

A clear sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

The soldiers had caught up again.

Just as they raised the large blades in their hands, preparing to swing and hack.

Luo Yunshang's head turned abruptly.

Her pair of eyes had somehow turned into a pitch-black color.

The whites of her eyes vanished.

In the center of her pupils, a pair of rapidly rotating pitch-black vortices seemed to appear, capturing one's soul.

The instant they saw these eyes, all the soldiers' movements froze instantly.

Without a sound.

The bodies of these soldiers shattered simultaneously, exploding into dust that filled the sky before dissipating into nothingness.

After the soldiers turned into dust, the pitch-black vortices in Luo Yunshang's eyes vanished, her eyes returned to normal, and she fainted directly onto the ground.

Wang Jianqiang, who had been on the verge of losing consciousness, saw this scene and was instantly jolted awake.

His eyes widened into perfect circles.

Before he could think too much.

A wave of weakness surged over him like a tide.

His consciousness went black, and he fell into a coma.

He did not know how much time had passed.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a straw mat.

The wounds on his back had also been simply bandaged with two strips of cloth.

"Little Jianqiang, you're awake."

Luo Yunshang, beside him, noticed his awakening and leaned over with a face full of joy, "Little Jianqiang, we are truly so lucky; those soldiers left for some inexplicable reason and didn't take us away."

Hearing this, the image of the soldiers shattering into dust flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind, and he was left speechless.

Just then, a look of confusion appeared on Luo Yunshang's face, and she asked curiously, "Little Jianqiang, what is the Hehuan Sect? And Wang Yuyao, Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong..."

She spoke one name after another that was extremely familiar to Wang Jianqiang, but no matter how he pondered, he had not the slightest impression of them.

"Are these all your relatives from before?" she asked curiously at the end.

"Relatives?"

Wang Jianqiang frowned, "It seems so..."

"Seems so?" Luo Yunshang asked curiously, "Don't you remember them?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head blankly, "How do you know these names?"

Luo Yunshang smiled, pursing her lips, "You were talking in your sleep, and you said quite a lot."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Besides these names, what else did I say?"

Luo Yunshang thought for a moment, "It seems the thing you said most in your sleep was 'sleeping'."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again, "You must have loved sleeping very much in the past, right? You really are a little lazybones."

Wang Jianqiang scratched his head, "Besides sleeping? What else?"

Luo Yunshang thought for a moment, "It seems there was also Alchemy, Clarification, Karma..."

"Oh, right, and something about a Tribulation?"

"Tribulation!"

After hearing this word, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind.

A familiar memory began to emerge, hazy and indistinct.

However, just at this moment.

A force suddenly appeared, Suppressing the memory that was about to manifest.

Causing this memory to become blurry once again.

As if it would not allow this memory to be restored.

But this memory had already been awakened.

Unless Wang Jianqiang gave up on thinking, it would not be easy for that force to suppress it back down.

His obsession and that mysterious power of sealing immediately formed a tug-of-war.

The collision between the two produced an intense pain originating from his Soul, making him unable to help but cry out in agony.

"Little Jianqiang, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Luo Yunshang immediately became flustered.

Wang Jianqiang gritted his teeth, not giving up on his thoughts.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Why is there still a memory in my mind?"

"Why does this memory give me such an extremely familiar feeling, as if it were my own personal experience?"

A thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

That was...

Keep going...

Must not give up on thinking!

This memory in his mind is important, incomparably important!

Hum~

Just at this moment.

A stream of light suddenly shot over from the horizon.

In a flash of Spirit Light, an old woman appeared beside Luo Yunshang, looking at Luo Yunshang with piercing eyes.

"What a unique constitution."

"I am an Elder of Xuanqing Palace; you and I are fated, come away with me, and I will grant you a celestial destiny."

The suddenly descended old woman startled Luo Yunshang, "You can actually fly, are you an immortal?"

The old woman smiled, "In the eyes of worldly people, I am indeed considered an immortal."

After speaking, she looked at Luo Yunshang, "Are you willing to come away with me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshang immediately reacted and knelt directly before the old woman, "Immortal, please save my younger brother; if you can save my younger brother and take him with us, I will agree to you."

"Take him with us?"

The old woman frowned as she glanced at Wang Jianqiang, who was clutching his head with a pained expression, a flash of killing intent appearing in her eyes, "Cultivators must sever ties with the mortal world; what kind of decorum is it to bring him along."

"Since that is the case, I shall help you resolve this obstacle."

After speaking, she pointed her finger, and a beam of Spirit Light shot out from her fingertip, heading straight for Wang Jianqiang's brow.

"No!"

Luo Yunshang immediately showed a look of terror and threw herself toward Wang Jianqiang without hesitation.

Originally, with her mortal reaction time and speed, it would have been impossible to block this strike.

But in this instant.

In her eyes, the whites vanished instantly, turning into a pitch-black color.

Her speed instantly soared to a level that ordinary people could not hope to reach.

At the moment before the Spirit Light was about to pierce through Wang Jianqiang's body, she blocked in front of him.

Puchi!

The Spirit Light sank into her heart.

Her body trembled, and she collapsed powerlessly onto Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's heart contracted abruptly.

The intense heartache even overwhelmed the pain of the Soul in his mind.

At the same time.

In his mind.

That sealed memory broke through the suppression of the sealing power in one fell swoop.

All memories returned in an instant.

A look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is."
