Chapter 651: Everyone Loves Butterflies, Who Would Love a Fly? (Part 2)
Because Seeing Pei Ye's ability to control fire had already been displayed to all the spectators on the rainy night in the West Pool, Yu Sicheng had never revealed the fire he controlled when facing him, because that would just be handing a weapon to someone else.
So Li Xizhou hadn't thought that those fire embers didn't come from the opponent, but from 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 itself.
【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 had never been afraid of fire.
On that fragment, besides fire... the only thing left was blood.
Blood that came from the same lineage as her.
This was completely correct.
"Sin Scales stained with blood, Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha will be solved." This Immortal Body in the palace, which came from the hands of the Nourishing Intent Building and Guo You, the so-called 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】, the only thing it absolutely did not allow, of course, was hurting the Empress.
And the spear of Yongbei that walked out of the Bright Moon Palace that day was stained with Mother's fresh blood.
Yu Sicheng didn't know this point until he was defeated that day.
Li Xizhou didn't speak. Blood flowed continuously from her wrist, and in her hand was the youth's sword. She was washing every inch of its body with her own blood.
She could understand Yu Sicheng's words.
Entering the Luoshen Palace was very important to me, and you two were already at the end of your rope.
This blood was not the horn of victory, but just a bargaining chip to stop the war. Seeing Pei Ye was already dyed red all over, his tendons and bones broken countless times. As long as they engaged one more time, he had a ninety percent probability of being killed by Yu Sicheng.
And Yu Sicheng similarly didn't want to take this risk, even if it was so tiny.
But there was indeed something on the field that threatened him.
He was unwilling for the trip to the Luoshen Palace to have any mishaps, and Seeing Pei Ye's performance earlier was enough to make him take it into consideration. So he would rather let Seeing Pei Ye go in this kind of advantage, giving Li Xizhou such a generous option—take away this youth who was originally destined to die, without any loss, as if nothing had happened.
Or, the two of them die here together. The identities of "Jinyang" and "True Blood" were no longer a free pass.
Li Xizhou knew what he said was correct.
She had already learned many things on this trip, greatly reversing the situation in the Qiongyu Garden. It was indeed time to stop. Regardless, Seeing Pei Ye's future was limitless, and her own life was incomparably precious.
When these two things were placed on one end of the scale, there were very few things on the other end that could press them down.
But a flower could just happen to do it.
"Eunuch Yu." Li Xizhou lowered her head and said, "The Luoshen peach blossoms on your body were picked from that maid in the Qing Si Palace, right?"
"I didn't get the recognition of the Luoshen Realm Mark, so I cut half a flower for her, using this to allow the dragon blood to secretly cross." Yu Sicheng said. "It can be considered that I took what was hers."
Li Xizhou nodded quietly and said: "I want to kill you."
The water area was silent for an instant. Yu Sicheng looked at her silently, as if looking at a piece of old time.
He closed his eyes slightly, and his footsteps turned back toward Seeing Pei Ye. This was a subtle movement, and also the first movement in the silence.
The battlefield exploded in an instant. Chi roars and Vermilion fire suddenly filled the entire water area.
The boiling mercury steam expanded into a large ball several zhang in diameter in the water. Yu Sicheng roared, and when he turned, his long spear stabbed fiercely toward the youth sitting paralyzed. But earlier, the black scale wall blocked him without any scruples.
Yu Sicheng's long spear stabbed deeply into the body of this Immortal Hunt that was already covered in wounds. Yu Sicheng roared, pulling back along the direction the black Chi had swept forward. Scales flew and flesh shattered, the spear body bent into a crescent moon, almost dissecting this Immortal Hunt entirely.
It had indeed reached its limit. The broken body condensed back into a black cat the size of a palm, and was thrown out by the boiling water like a falling leaf.
But a moment earlier, it had already bitten the youth sitting paralyzed before the door and sent him to Li Xizhou's side.
Li Xizhou was standing, but she could also see the weakness. She didn't spare her own blood at all, tilting it to fill the entire sword. The blood that was hard to find a drop of back then was now allowed to be squandered by the youth.
She lowered her eyes to look at Seeing Pei Ye. Seeing Pei Ye looked up at her, his hair tips and eyebrows all full of blood, as if he couldn't stand up anymore, just opening his mouth.
"Now, if you say, 'I can't do it, I can't handle this matter', I'm going to slap you hard." She said.
Seeing Pei Ye bared his teeth in a bloody, white-toothed grin and said in a hoarse, slow voice, "Believe me, just let him watch with his own eyes, and I can still pierce through him from the front once more."
He gripped this warm blood sword and braced himself against the ground, staggering to stand up.
Yu Sicheng whistled and forced his way over from behind him. It was still power like a collapsing mountain, still a terrifying spear momentum. Seeing Pei Ye stood unsteadily with the water waves.
Yu Sicheng protected all his true Qi on his back spine and Dantian.
He knew better than anyone how much of a candle in the wind the youth before him was at this time.
As long as one spear strike hit, he would absolutely never stand up again.
Yu Sicheng was not nervous at this time. He had long ago forged a heart that was cold and hard between life and death, but he had indeed invested all his spirit. He knew the youth was best at such a desperate round. Investing all his strength in defense, he didn't feel ashamed, just as he had attacked regardless of everything earlier. Only victory was the true end point.
Yu Sicheng took a step forward two zhang behind Seeing Pei Ye. This was the distance where the spear was furthest and most powerful at the tip. At the same time, Seeing Pei Ye's right hand stabbed the sword backward from under his right flank and turned his body, avoiding this spear tip, and entered the sword one zhang.
Yu Sicheng swung the spear and smashed it diagonally. This was a spear that swept the space before him, almost impossible to avoid. Every time before, Seeing Pei Ye had also spat out fresh blood in front of it.
But this time, the youth staggered his body, leaned down, and avoided it from an extremely cunning and extremely appropriate angle—he set up this posture even a split second earlier than Yu Sicheng struck the spear.
He followed the staggering twist of his body to enter, and when he raised the sword, he entered five chi.
Yu Sicheng's spear tail poked back, and at the same time, his left hand clenched into a fist. Seeing Pei Ye was just straightening up from the posture of sticking to the ground. The sword body brought up a beautiful arc, first cutting off Yu Sicheng's left elbow joint. Mercury steam exploded, and the fist wind whistled past the side of his face.
When retracting the sword, it slashed on the right forearm, shaking out a gap of an inch long for himself to survive.
He stuck close and advanced two chi. The mercury steam spraying all around had already begun to burn him. Yu Sicheng didn't retreat at this time, but instead let his half-broken left arm move backward, to prevent that silk-pulling flying sword from grabbing this gap and drifting behind his back, making his holding right hand shield his front more.
By this time, he had already rotated the spear. At this distance, without the black Chi shielding him, Seeing Pei Ye could no longer avoid his next spear strike.
Seeing Pei Ye wanted to enter, and Yu Sicheng was also letting Seeing Pei Ye enter, because it was different from just now. Yu Sicheng couldn't let Seeing Pei Ye absorb the peach blossoms anymore, because when he recovered to a full state, he truly had a weapon in his hand that could hurt him.
So the first engagement was the best engagement.
Yu Sicheng smashed this spear down. Seeing Pei Ye avoided it like a ghost with a low body. Yu Sicheng felt empty in his heart.
You have seen my 【Drifting Returning Wind】 many times, and I have also seen these five spear strikes of yours... a full three times.
Seeing Pei Ye advanced one chi. His broken blood sleeve burned fiercely. His body was slightly low at this time, but his limbs were in a miraculous posture, like a crane dancing before a tall person. He didn't stab the Dantian whose position he knew, nor did he fly the sword around the back, but instead, a sword strike pierced through diagonally from bottom to top.
He chose the clumsiest position, the heart and chest where the two layers of 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 Dragon Gold overlapped. The blood-stained spear strike of Yongbei twenty-three years ago only dissected a narrow and short fragment from the first layer.
Seeing Pei Ye now pierced through the second layer.
Piercing through the Dragon Gold, grazing the heart, piercing the lung sac... piercing into the Dragon Swallowing Pearl Bone Pivot.
The feeling of a hot blade cutting ice was fed back. He straightened his body and sent it, like a crane spreading its wings. His blood-stained hair was disheveled on his face, and the sword tip pierced out from Yu Sicheng's stiff back.
Because you are Yu Ziliang, your Dantian is not there.
Because you are Yu Ziliang, your 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 is still that same one from twenty-three years ago. ===== CHAPTER 652 =====
