space around, the atmosphere, the spiritual power, everything had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dangerous shadow arose spontaneously, clouding her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wen Hanwei’s hand, the Yuxiao Sword trembled madly, the sword sensing danger as a preemptive warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bare hand pressed down on the sword hilt, and the sword’s hum ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t have failed to feel the power that the man was accumulating next, enough to destroy this tiny heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her gaze remained calm, turning to watch Baili An’s profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei suddenly made an untimely move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fair and delicate hand gently lifted the hair on her shoulder, a hidden fragrance filling her sleeve, revealing a section of her pale and delicate slender neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slightly tilted her head towards Baili An, utterly unguarded, even wearing a faint smile of acceptance and fearlessness, “It seems I will die here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m somewhat saddened about your affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei always acted as she wished, heedless of consequences or context.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she wasn’t even aware how alluring and ambiguous her action was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was clear, untainted by any impurities, filled with worry and sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was taken aback, the arms that embraced her slender body stiffening, his face no longer bearing the composed calmness of facing an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice hoarse, he said, “Saddened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei said, “Back then, I couldn’t witness your death with my own eyes, unaware of how painful it was for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Years have passed since we parted, and you’ve become a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cannot imagine the emotions you had when you awoke from the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I know you can no longer taste the foods of the Mortal World, nor the simple pleasures of tea and wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, you will only remember the taste of blood, which saddens and worries me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given your nature, I don’t even know if you’ve had a proper meal, and now we’re going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to offer you one last satisfaction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong, who was brewing killing intent, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected the Ninth of Taixuan to say such words to a corpse demon diverging between good and evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small bunny in his arms, who looked almost asleep with squinted eyes and drooping ears, slowly opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its triangular mouth moved, ears pricked up, shielding Wen Hanwei’s pale neck, and then twisted its head, seemingly wanting to display its own ‘jade neck’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Afu Tu, being naturally short and stubby with soft fluffy fur, had a neck so squeezed under its chubby head it was almost imperceptible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, its eyes turned helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Baili An’s mature and calm demeanor, he didn’t know how to respond to Wen Hanwei’s gentle kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman so upright and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could face death serenely, could hold the sword unbowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an unyielding sword of steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she could show such gentleness, placing all of herself at the mercy of his lips and tusks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know how to respond, nor did he have the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Sikong very much detested and loathed the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, a streak of light, for someone like him, floating in the long, cold, black night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a warm hope, but a glaring, heart-wrenching mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth rained down, a blood-red rain, and the whole world of Black City suddenly filled with desolation, emptiness, cold, despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the next moment, the whole world would be buried by the blood rain into the netherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong, with a flip of his hand, manipulated the blood rain, and the space began to crumble, the blood rain falling towards the two supporting each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled a cruel and ruthless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An grabbed Wen Hanwei’s delicate wrist, his body leaning over, swiftly shielding her under his thin back against the bloody rain falling from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bone breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed then by the rustling sound of the copious heavy rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s pupils suddenly dilated, for he did not feel any pain from his body, but rather a heavy, cold weight on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Anwei, pressed under him, also widened her eyes, “On your back, there’s a skeleton—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Bone Corpse Corpses, cold and dry under the sternum, was quickly corrupted by the blood rain into pus, staining Baili An’s clothes red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Bone Corpse’s hands propped on the ground, clearly in a posture sworn to protect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, his mind blank and baffled, looked at the hands propping on the ground, the left forefinger wearing a snake-shaped silver ring, eerily reflecting the light of the blood rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring’s outline was cold and sinister, giving an ominous feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the owner of this ring was protecting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, a sudden pain struck Baili An’s chest, like it had been pricked by a rusty needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emotions he once feared losing, now surged uncontrollably like a flood in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it… sadness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei stiffened, almost instinctively reaching out her arms to embrace him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in Baili An’s eyes at that moment, tears of blood filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A corpse demon, already dead, should not have tears, should not cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he was crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why he was crying, why his emotions were uncontrollably out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was it!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton behind, who was it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Sikong suddenly stood up from his throne, “This is truly surprising again, my dear friend has come forth for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of the skeleton behind was quickly dispersed by the blood rain, turning into white dust swirling, though not a drop approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An sat up straight, his blood-stained eyes blankly watching the dust in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei picked up the silver ring from the ground, frowning in thought, as if recalling something, the puzzlement in her eyes deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he protect me…” Baili An murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong let out a malicious laughter, “Yes, why indeed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there’s another fascinating secret about you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, you are a gift from heaven sent to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white bone dust brushed against Baili An’s face, ruffling his long hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in Baili An’s heart deepened, he shook his head firmly, looking at Sikong, “I will not stay here, I intend to live!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was desperately eager to recover the memories he had lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A determination that could let him pay any price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood rain swayed, and he slowly raised his arm, his eyes now devoid of the earlier resolute fighting spirit, his finger pointing at the man’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong’s perfect features stiffened slightly, then, thinking it unlikely, scoffed with a mocking smile, “Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, having seen such power, you still think you can drive your sword into my heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ashes can’t protect you for long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An shook his head, “You are strong, and with my current strength, I can only harm you once, naturally I cannot stab the sword into your heart, but I can pull out the sword that’s thrust upon your chest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His casually uttered words sent a shock through Sikong’s body, like being struck by thunder, his crimson lips instantly trembling pale, “You… what did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An said, “What I said, you know very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","abe8d861ab968be389a63ca9014ffff7c5addaab72a8e0c81ece984cbf8bea79","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-155","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-153",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
