Chapter 700: It's Time to Perform Real Techniques!

The altar sank, and strands of dark light surged around it, like an endless void!

Xu Que was shocked in his heart. Just as he wanted to see these dark radiances clearly, he heard another "Boom," and the altar shook suddenly and stopped!

The surroundings were still a dark abyss that couldn't be seen to the bottom, but in front of the altar, there was an extra stone wall, and an ancient stone door was embedded in the stone wall. It was cast and carved with strange patterns in bronze, obscure and difficult to understand, and it looked rusty.

And in the middle of the stone door, a yellow talisman was stuck!

Zixia Fairy stepped forward and said with a solemn expression: "Supreme Treasure, this talisman is the last layer of the seal. I need to concentrate to tear it off! But once I touch the talisman, the altar will collapse, and ghost hands will appear to stop us!"

"Miss A Zi, tear it off with peace of mind; I will protect you!" Xu Que laughed immediately.

At this time, he didn't want to cause destruction anymore, but instead wanted to fulfill Zixia Fairy's wish, striving to leave a better impression!

And if the seal is lifted, the shackles of the Four Continents can be consolidated, and he can also be more relaxed for a few decades. Why not do it!

"Hmm! You must be careful! Although the threat of those ghost hands is not great, you must not be touched by them. This place under the altar is the Netherworld Yin Land. Once you are pulled down by the ghost hands, or fall down yourself, you will be lost in the darkness forever, until death, and will still remain inside!" Zixia Fairy instructed with some worry!

"Hmm, I will be careful!" Xu Que smiled very indifferently.

Although he hadn't seen those ghost hands, since Zixia Fairy felt that the Golden Core Stage could solve those ghost hands, he didn't need to panic even more!

"Then... I'm starting!"

After hesitating for a moment, she finally came to the stone door!

She condensed her expression slightly, raised both hands, and pinched out complex hand seals!

Whoosh!

As she formed the hand seals, a massive amount of True Essence surged from her delicate, jade-like fingers, appearing brilliant and luminous in the pitch-black surroundings!

Soon, when she formed the last seal with both hands, the radiance was already like a group of golden flames, exuding strands of Dao Rhyme!

"Break!"

She shouted, and her palm, carrying golden flames, slapped toward the talisman on the stone door!

Bang!

The stone door shook instantly, dropping strands of dust, but the golden light on that talisman soared instantly!

Following closely, the altar also began to tremble slowly.

"Eh?"

Xu Que was shocked, looked under his feet, and the altar, which looked incredibly sturdy just now, actually began to soften, as if it were about to turn into a mud ground!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Suddenly, several muffled sounds came, the altar suddenly exploded with several small holes, countless gravels were knocked away from the ground, and following closely, countless black palms suddenly protruded from them!

Every palm was like black mist condensed, constantly twisting, and all the fingertips were incredibly sharp, scratching everywhere on the altar!

Looking from afar, it was quite scalp-tingling for people with trypophobia!

Xu Que took a look, took out a sharp sword from the system package indifferently, injected True Essence, and held it tightly in his hand!

"Miss A Zi, you focus on opening the seal; I can handle these ghost hands!"

Xu Que said to Zixia Fairy.

But at this moment, Zixia Fairy's entire arm was already shrouded in the golden light released by the talisman!

She was focused, staring at the talisman with immense concentration, the flames in her palm constantly confronting the golden light of the talisman, burning it bit by bit!

Looking at the trend, if he fought for some time for her, she indeed had the ability to tear off that talisman!

Xu Que nodded slightly, felt relieved, and looked at those ghost hands again!

As the altar continued to break open, more and more ghost hands appeared, constantly approaching their side!

"Extinguish for me!" Xu Que shouted coldly, and the sharp sword in his hand swept forward!

Boom!

The True Essence on the sword blade instantly turned into a sword arc and swept out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A large area of ghost hands was cut off on the spot, turning into strands of black mist, rising up, and surging under the altar!

It was indeed very simple!

Xu Que smiled and continued to swing the sharp sword, harvesting the other ghost hands!

But soon, he found that things weren't that simple.

Those cut-off ghost hands darted out from the altar again after a while, as if they were endless.

"Eh, wild fire cannot burn them out, they grow again with the spring breeze?" Xu Que frowned slightly, but the sharp sword still swept out!

Although these ghost hands couldn't be completely eradicated, with him cutting them so quickly, the ghost hands couldn't approach them for a while, which was enough to win a lot of time for Zixia Fairy to break that talisman!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, sword Qi was overflowing on the altar, ghost hands were constantly being cut and extinguished, then condensed again, but they could never approach Xu Que's side.

He had been swinging and cutting for a whole day and night. If this were for a Golden Core Stage cultivator, they would have reached their limit.

But Xu Que not only possessed the system's auto-recovery function, his own cultivation and True Essence were vast; the True Essence consumed over this day and night was merely a drop in the ocean!

"Boom!"

At the same time, the stone door on Fairy Zixia's side also began to emit a rumbling sound!

The golden light released by that talisman had already been burned by the flames to be incredibly dim, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

Zixia Fairy's face also became more and more solemn!

Finally, she raised a strand of Dao Rhyme True Essence, suddenly poured it into her palm, and the flames soared!

With a "Boom," the stone door was suddenly cracked, and the golden light on the talisman also completely faded and dimmed.

A trace of joy flashed across Zixia Fairy's face, and she pointed forward with a green finger, directly tearing off that talisman.

"Supreme Treasure, we succeeded!" She held the talisman with joy and turned to look at Xu Que.

Xu Que smiled and was about to speak!

Suddenly, the altar under his feet shook violently!

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, all the ghost hands on the altar suddenly exploded, turning into groups of black mist, suddenly surging toward the four sides of the altar!

"No, how could this happen?" Zixia Fairy was moved, astonished.

Xu Que was also stunned, and actually had a bad premonition; this was a sign of danger!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the black mist around the altar exploded again, merging into the endless darkness, following closely, instantly turning into a huge vortex, spinning crazily, like a giant beast opening its mouth, absorbing everything in all directions with terrifying suction.

Boom!

Before Xu Que and Zixia Fairy could react, their bodies were suddenly pulled by this terrible attraction and flew toward that vortex!

"Oh no!" Xu Que was shocked, hurriedly summoned the system, and was preparing to let the system undo the disguise puppet and restore his cultivation.

"Supreme Treasure, you go first!" Suddenly, Zixia Fairy's voice came from beside his ear!

Following closely, a palm hit his spine, and a gentle force came, pushing him back to the stone door.

"What? Miss A Zi, you..."

Xu Que reacted instantly.

He turned his head suddenly to look, and Zixia Fairy had already been swallowed by the vortex, and he himself hadn't finished speaking before he fell behind the stone door, but because of this, he avoided the pulling force of the vortex!

"No!"

He roared on the spot and hurriedly rushed out.

However, the vortex shrank rapidly and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye!

Zixia Fairy's figure appeared from it, but she fell directly into the dark abyss under the altar!

"Miss A Zi!" Xu Que was anxious and hurriedly flew forward with a stride.

However, when he rushed to the edge of the altar, Zixia Fairy had already been swallowed and decomposed in the endless dark abyss, turning into strands of radiance, like starlight!

"Is this a clone?" Xu Que was stunned.

Looking at those radiances in astonishment, they were slowly floating up from the abyss!

Finally, the radiances fell behind him and began to slowly condense into shape!

Sensing the familiar aura of Zixia Fairy, Xu Que finally reacted. Zixia Fairy hadn't been swallowed by the abyss, and now, her true body was about to appear.

Boom!

Immediately, Xu Que's body shook, his gaze condensed.

It's time to perform real techniques!

"No, Miss A Zi!"

He suddenly roared at the abyss heartbreakingly, as if he had lost all his strength, and sat down on the edge of the altar.

The next moment, "sad" tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

"Why, why did you save me? Miss A Zi, you can't die!"

He shouted in extreme grief, crying like a heartbroken person.

And behind him, Zixia Fairy was slowly stepping out from the radiance.

She was still in a spacious and neat Daoist robe, her beautiful face had already recovered, her proud figure was amazing, and the moment she walked out of the radiance, she was like a divine goddess descending to the world, appearing behind Xu Que just like that.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and her first reaction was to call Xu Que and tell him that she hadn't died!

But seeing Xu Que sitting on the edge of the altar, crying and shouting in extreme grief, she was stunned, her thoughts complex.

She realized that perhaps... this was a suitable ending!

She knew that she and he shouldn't have ended up together after all!

Now that the seal had been removed, although it could protect the Four Continents for a few decades, the shackles would eventually collapse.

She shouldered a heavy responsibility, not only to revitalize the Wei Wu Sect but also to resist foreign experts; this destined her to face countless dangers in the future.

She felt that if she were with this youth, it would mean that this youth would also have to face those unimaginable dangers!

So...

Goodbye, Supreme Treasure!

Zixia Fairy stood in place, looking at Xu Que's back, chanting silently in her heart, her eyes slightly moist!

The cave dwelling of Five Elements Mountain also had shackles, not allowing experts of her realm to enter, and now it had begun to produce a huge repulsive force, wanting to teleport her out.

Just before leaving, she still wanted to take one more look at Xu Que!

"Clang!"

Suddenly, Xu Que took out that tape recorder, placed it beside him, and pressed the play button!

"The past, the present, the future, will never come again!"

"Red, red, fallen leaves, buried deep, in the dust!"

"The beginning and the end, always, unchanged!"

"You, drifting at the edge of the sky, beyond the white clouds!"

That familiar singing suddenly sounded!

Zixia Fairy was stunned, as if countless memories had been evoked!

She remembered that on the Chessboard Sea Array, Xu Que had disregarded his own safety to save her!

She remembered that in the illusion, Xu Que had always guarded her side, holding hands, growing old together!

She remembered that after leaving the illusion, Xu Que's hesitant appearance countless times!

Scene after scene flashed through her mind!

Suddenly, she could no longer suppress the thoughts in her heart and walked forward!

"Su... what's wrong with you?" She opened her mouth softly, wanting to call out the name "Supreme Treasure," but looking back at her current true body, she didn't know how to explain it to Xu Que!

"A Zi..."

Xu Que heard her voice, his body shook, and he turned his head suddenly.

But when he saw her peerless face, Xu Que was stunned.

He was full of sadness and tears, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head in extreme grief, "Sorry, Miss, I recognized the wrong person! I... I just lost the most important person!"

Saying this, tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Lost the most important person!

At this moment, hearing this sentence, Zixia Fairy's mind, which had already been decided, began to waver!

She couldn't accept Xu Que's sad appearance!

Only after being silent for a moment did she speak: "Young Hero, please mourn. She also knows that you will be the most important person to her; she definitely doesn't want you to be so sad and miserable."

"No, she doesn't know yet! I... I haven't had time to tell her, and then..."

Xu Que said this, and tears flowed down again, heartbroken.

"She will definitely know!" Zixia Fairy wavered again in her heart.

Xu Que shook his head and suddenly stood up from the ground!

The tears on his face had already stopped, his gaze looking at the pitch-black abyss!

At this moment, his whole person seemed to have changed a lot, no longer having the sunshine and peace from the beginning, but instead appearing incredibly deep, lonely, and depressed!

Zixia Fairy was shocked in her heart.

"Lovers, after parting, forever, will never come again!"

"Silent, sitting alone, looking out, beyond the mortal world!"

"Flowers may wither, but they will bloom again!"

"The love of a lifetime, vaguely, beyond the white clouds!"

At this time, the singing in the tape recorder was still continuing.

Xu Que suddenly opened his mouth and whispered to himself in a hoarse voice:

"Once there was a sincere love placed in front of me, I didn't cherish it. Only when I lost it did I regret it. The most painful thing in the world... is nothing more than this! If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you! If I had to add a deadline to this love, I hope it would be... ten thousand years!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly.

Accompanied by a line of tears sliding down, he resolutely stepped forward, making a gesture to jump into the endless dark abyss!
