Chapter 284 The Strange Alchemist 29
When Xie Qi found Mu Ze and the others, he was furious at the sight of several elders being tied tightly to pillars with chains as thick as a child's arm.
Each of them was seriously injured and covered in blood, and the horrifying wounds were still oozing blood.
The bright red blood flowing from their bodies fell to the ground drop by drop. The blood slowly flowed along the complex patterns of the formation, and finally slowly gathered towards the formation located in the center of the eight pillars.
Mu Ze, who was in the center of the formation, had his body handcuffed tightly by cold and heavy iron chains. He could only rely on the chains to support his body so as not to fall to the ground.
The white clothes had been completely dyed scarlet by the blood, blending in with the bloody smell that permeated the surroundings.
When Xie Qi saw this scene, the anger in his heart instantly erupted like a volcano, causing him to completely lose his mind.
He took a step forward without hesitation, running towards Mu Ze recklessly. However, just as he approached the edge of the formation, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the formation.
The powerful impact forced Xie Qi to retreat, but Xie Qi did not give up. He spun nimbly in mid-air, tapped the air with his feet, and leaped into the air using inertia. He once again rushed towards the formation without hesitation.
Liu Yansong flew quickly towards Xiu Qiyan.
At this moment, Liu Wenrui suddenly appeared in the middle of the formation. He was holding a cold sword, the tip of the sword pointed steadily at Mu Ze's throat, and with a ferocious look on his face, he threatened, "Don't move! Otherwise, don't blame me for accidentally slipping..."
Liu Wenrui didn't expect them to come so quickly. Today he wanted to drag Mu Ze over to use this son of destiny to sacrifice to the evil dragon.
Although there were no eight martial saints, with the presence of this child of destiny, he could awaken the sleeping dragon and rob the child of destiny of his fortune.
Once he signs a contract with the evil dragon, his strength will surely increase greatly. Then he will be able to use the power of the system to ascend to the upper realm and reach the void realm mentioned by the system.
However, at this moment, Xie Qi's icy gaze was fixed on Liu Wenrui, who was holding a long sword and pointing it at Mu Ze.
Xie Qi slowly turned his fingers, and the red thread wrapped around his fingers suddenly seemed to come alive, and began to bend and float rapidly.
It circled and danced at an astonishing speed, circling Mu Ze half a meter away. As the red rope wound around and around, a beautiful hollow sphere gradually took shape, eventually tightly enveloping Mu Ze.
No one else present could detect the existence of this red line. It was precisely because of this that Xie Qi dared to use this red line so recklessly to protect Mu Ze.
After Xie Qi confirmed that the red string was enough to protect Mu Ze, he raised his hand without hesitation and yanked the red string in his hand.
The next second, the heavy iron chain that bound Mu Ze suddenly broke into countless pieces. Without the chains, Mu Ze shot towards Xie Qi like an arrow.
When Liu Wenrui saw this scene, he was immediately furious. He waved the magic sword in his hand and attacked Mu Ze fiercely with a sharp sword energy.
However, all his attacks were bounced back when they touched the protective net woven from red lines.
Xie Qi's eyes were already faintly flushed at this moment. He opened his arms and steadily caught the flying Mu Ze. He took out a life-extending pill from his arms as quickly as possible and put it into Mu Ze's mouth.
"Damn it! How dare you ruin my good thing!" Liu Wenrui stared at Xie Qi with a ferocious look on his face, as if he wanted to eat the other person alive.
Xie Qi saw Liu Wenrui coming at him aggressively, but he was not panicked at all. He first carefully put Mu Ze aside in his arms, and then faced Liu Wenrui's attack head-on without hesitation.
The red line that originally surrounded Mu Ze was still extremely strong and protected Mu Ze tightly inside.
At this moment, Xie Qi's eyes were already filled with anger and murderous intent, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura. With a wave of his arm, various system props appeared in his hands continuously.
Xie Qi continuously unleashed powerful moves, and the strength he displayed astonished everyone present. The terrifying pressure seemed to distort even the very air.
They were surprised to find that Xie Qi's strength had now reached the legendary level of Martial Saint.
In contrast, Liu Wenrui was completely helpless in the face of Xie Qi's furious onslaught. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, and despite his best efforts to resist, he ultimately struggled to withstand the overwhelming force.
"Puff..." With a muffled sound, Liu Wenrui suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but his body seemed to be falling apart and he couldn't move at all.
At this time, Liu Yansong finally rescued several elders trapped on the pillars one by one.
When he saw the frantic Xie Qi in front of him, his heart tightened and he quickly shouted, "Wait, Xie Qi! Don't do anything yet, I still have something to ask him!"
Xie Qi paused for a moment when he heard Liu Yansong's cry, but then returned to his alert state. He stared coldly at Liu Wenrui, who lay on the ground. If he made the slightest move, he would attack again without hesitation.
Liu Yansong looked at Xue Yun, who had fallen to the ground. He couldn't understand how the once well-behaved, sensible, and kind child could have ended up in such a state.
Xue Yun in front of him seemed like a completely different person, making Liu Yansong feel both unfamiliar and heartbroken.
"Xue Yun, did you write that letter to me? How...how did you know about his existence..."
Liu Yansong was the only one in the world who knew about the child; even Xiu Qiyan was kept in the dark. If this letter truly came from Xue Yun, how did he obtain this information?
At this moment, Liu Wenrui, who had been listening to Liu Yansong's words with his head down, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining an imperceptible dark smile.
Then, he secretly turned the ring on his finger, reopening the passage between the space in the ring and the outside world.
After completing this series of actions, Liu Wenrui slowly raised his head and looked straight at Liu Yansong.
His eyes were filled with sorrow and resentment, and he spoke in a low, mournful voice, "How should I know? Father, when you cruelly abandoned me, did you ever foresee the situation today? Help me kill him, and I won't hate you for abandoning me."
As the ring space opened, a strong sense of blood bond surged into Liu Yansong's heart like a tide.
At the same time, when he heard Liu Wenrui's resentful words with his own ears, the last line of defense deep in his heart finally collapsed completely.
In an instant, his blood surged and Liu Yansong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Yansong looked at the face that looked like Xiu Qiyan, and recalled in his mind the words that Xiu Qiyan had said again and again that Xue Yun was adopted by him.
At this moment, Liu Yansong seemed to know the reason, but why, after he learned the truth, he faced such a painful choice.
When everyone present heard the conversation between the two, they all looked at Liu Yansong in surprise. Xiu Qiyan ran over in disbelief and supported Liu Yansong, who was about to lose his balance.
"Host, he is not Xue Yun! Xue Yun's residual soul was imprisoned in the ring by him. Now Xue Yun has been possessed by someone else."
Just when Liu Wenrui turned the ring, 948 clearly noticed something, so 948 entered the ring space and found that there was Xue Yun's residual soul in the space.
At this moment, 948 finally understood why he had not been able to detect anything abnormal in Xue Yun before.
When Xie Qi heard what 948 said, he immediately told Liu Yansong about it.
At this time, Liu Wenrui saw that the matter had been exposed, and everyone present was staring at him with a greedy look.
At the same time, the mysterious system suddenly appeared in Liu Wenrui's mind without any warning, and spat out two words at him coldly: "Waste!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Wenrui realized with horror that the various magical abilities bestowed upon him by this system were continuously draining away from his body.
At this moment, Liu Wenrui finally realized that he had been completely and ruthlessly abandoned by the superior system.
Moreover, given the current dire situation, it is almost an impossible task to escape from the encirclement of these people.
So, just when everyone thought that Liu Wenrui would collapse in despair, Liu Wenrui suddenly seemed to go crazy, laughing wildly towards the sky. The laughter echoed in the entire space, sounding both shrill and weird.
At this moment, Liu Wenrui knew that he was doomed to die, but even so, he wanted to drag someone down with him.
Liu Wenrui had a ferocious look on his face. He stretched out his right hand without hesitation and suddenly exerted force to drag out the remaining soul of Xue Yun that had been hidden in the ring.
Poor Xue Yun's broken soul, as soon as it was exposed to the air, immediately let out bursts of extremely painful wails.
"Liu Yansong, kill them quickly! Otherwise, I will make Xue Yun's soul fly away and he will never be reborn!"
Liu Wenrui threatened viciously while pinching Xue Yun's slender and fragile neck with all his might, causing Xue Yun's face to turn red instantly and even breathing becoming extremely difficult.
Liu Yansong, who was standing by, watched helplessly as Xue Yun's ethereal figure was being tortured inhumanely by Liu Wenrui, and he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
However, Xue Yun, despite being in excruciating pain, still endured the severe pain, used up his last bit of strength to turn his head away, and said to Liu Yansong with difficulty: "No... Don't worry about me..."
The sound is so weak, like a candle in the wind, which may go out at any time.
However, at this moment, Xiu Qiyan felt a flash of lightning in his heart, and he instantly understood something. He stared at Liu Wenrui with angry eyes, his hands clenched into fists, and his whole body trembled slightly with extreme tension and anxiety.
How he wished he could rush forward immediately and rescue Xue Yun from Liu Wenrui, but as long as either of them used spiritual energy, the other party would detect the fluctuation in their cultivation.
But compared to the spiritual energy of cultivation, there is another kind of weapon that does not have any spiritual energy fluctuations.
Xie Qi pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a bullet shot out like lightning, hitting Liu Wenrui's eyebrows accurately.
There was a dull "thump" sound, and Liu Wenrui's body seemed to have lost all its strength, and he fell straight backwards.
"Elder Liu, quickly help Xue Yun's remaining soul return to his body!"
Xie Qi shouted loudly as he rushed to Xue Yun's side. He quickly squatted down, helped Xue Yun up, and then mobilized the spiritual energy around him, transforming it into a gentle force and slowly infusing it into Xue Yun's body.
The first thing to do was to remove the bullet embedded in his brain, and then use spiritual energy to repair the damaged brain. After doing this, all that was needed was to allow Xue Yun's residual soul to return to his body smoothly and the task would be complete.
However, what no one expected was that Liu Wenrui, who had already died, actually had a wisp of soul still left.
This remnant soul was like a ghost, silently pouncing towards Xue Yun who had not yet fully entered his body.
Xiu Qiyan was the first to sense this sudden crisis. His heart sank, and before he could think, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards Xue Yun like an arrow, and used his body to protect him without hesitation.
Almost immediately, Liu Yansong, who had been closely watching the situation unfold, also reacted. Instinctively, he rushed forward without a second thought, resolutely blocking Xiu Qiyan's way.
The next second, Liu Wenrui's extremely sharp residual soul attack hit Liu Yansong hard.
In an instant, Liu Yansong felt dizzy in his mind, the world in front of him became blurred, and his whole head felt like it was exploding with unbearable pain.
He could clearly feel that his life was rapidly fading away with this blow, his body gradually lost support, and finally collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Xie Qi glared at the remnant soul that was trying to escape with an angry face, and rushed over quickly, stretching out a hand and tightly grabbing the remnant soul.
Then, his fingers clamped the other person tightly like a pair of pliers, and pulled him outward mercilessly.
Accompanied by a horrifying tearing sound, the already fragile soul was instantly torn into pieces, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the void.
At the same time, several elders were working together to help Xue Yun's residual soul merge into his body.
Xiu Qiyan was circulating the spiritual energy throughout his body, continuously transferring this powerful force into Liu Yansong's body.
Brilliant and dazzling rays of light gushed out from Xiu Qiyan's palms and slowly flowed along his meridians into his dantian.
However, Liu Yansong, lying quietly in Xiu Qiyan's arms, had a face as pale as paper and a breath so weak that it seemed as if it would disappear in the wind at any time.
Liu Yansong hadn't expected to see Xiu Qiyan cry for him. At that moment, countless questions flooded Liu Yansong's mind.
He really wanted to ask Xiu Qiyan why he hadn't gone to find him in the first place. But his throat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, Liu Yansong felt a deep fatigue, tears rolled down her eyes, and she finally closed her eyes with regret.
