Chapter 114: Dead Heart
Mr. Xue was protected by the flaming armor, and his cultivation was much higher than Su Yutong's, so he was not knocked away, but he was knocked back two steps. He stabilized his body and rushed out of Wanhuachen again, but at this time, the huge rock in the center of Wanhuachen behind him shattered, and countless runes inside it seemed to lose their restraints and flew in all directions.
The first to be hit by the runes was Wanhuachen, which had not yet crystallized. It was almost instantly annihilated by countless runes. Then it was Mr. Xue, who had not yet run out of Wanhuachen. Several runes came after him and caught up with Mr. Xue like lightning. As soon as the runes touched Mr. Xue's flaming armor, the flaming armor quickly melted.
Without the protection of the flaming armor, the runes were directly printed on Mr. Xue's back. Mr. Xue, who had just run to the entrance of the cave, suddenly seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move, with panic in his eyes.
Mr. Xue regretted it very much at this time, regretting that he should not have been so reckless!
He just rushed into Wanhuachen in a hurry, wanting to check what happened to the seal node offset, but the giant stone transformed by the seal node emitted a rune light that made it difficult for him to approach, so he tried to force his way in with the protection of the Vermillion Bird Armor.
Before he could reach the seal node, the giant stone suddenly emitted a rune light, and he felt something was wrong, so he wanted to exit Wanhuachen first.
But just as he ran to the cave entrance, he ran into Su Yutong, who was trying to rescue Duan Qing. He was hit by Su Yutong and was immediately caught up by the rune.
As soon as the rune approached him, he immediately felt paralyzed and unable to move, and even his thoughts seemed to become sluggish.
After countless runes that had lost control annihilated the crystal dust in Wanhuachen, they scattered and attached to the inner wall of the crystal wall of Wanhuachen. The crystal wall that the three people had worked together to open a hole with great difficulty began to dissolve rapidly after the rune attached to it. It seemed that the remaining crystal wall Wanhuachen was about to be dissolved into nothingness by countless runes.
From the escape of Master Xue to the dissolution of the crystal wall of Wanhuachen by countless runes, all this happened in just a few breaths.
After being knocked back by Master Xue, Su Yutong stood up immediately and wanted to rush in again to rescue Duan Qing without waiting to see what was going on.
But as soon as she moved, she saw Master Xue, who was trapped in Wanhuachen and looked panicked, and the crystal wall of Wanhuachen being eroded and annihilated by countless runes. Her legs stopped immediately and she showed hesitation.
But in a moment, she made a decision. She wanted to go in and save Duan Qing!
But before she could move again, she felt her body being restrained by something and pulled back.
"No!"
Su Yutong screamed in pain.
It turned out that Master Qingchen saw that the situation was not good. He saw that even the arrogant Middle-earth Little White Face had been hit by the strange rune, and countless runes were about to dissolve Wanhuachen. It was conceivable that no one would be spared by then.
So she immediately took out the Cold Water Bottle, shook off the dust and pulled her apprentice Su Yutong in, and then took the weak Song Ling'er and Bai Shaoyun on the ground into the Cold Water Bottle, and drove the Cold Water Bottle away from here and returned to the third floor in the water.
All of this was seen by Duan Qing. Since the surface of Wan Huachen was burned into a crystal wall by Master Xue, and his vision was no longer blocked, Duan Qing's sight has never moved away from Senior Sister Su.
When Senior Sister Su rushed into the crystal wall, he couldn't express how happy he was. He even wanted to ignore the crystal dust around him and rush to hug Senior Sister Su to confide in her.
But Senior Sister Su did not come to save him. Instead, after hesitating for a while, she went to save Senior Sister Song and Bai Shaoyun first. Duan Qing did not blame Senior Sister Su for this. He knew Senior Sister Su's concerns and understood her difficulties. He knew that Senior Sister Su would definitely come back again.
Later, just as he expected, Senior Sister Su really came back to save him, but he didn't expect to be knocked back by Master Xue.
After Senior Sister Su stood up, Duan Qing saw hesitation in her eyes again. At this moment, he suddenly realized that although he regarded Senior Sister Su as his everything, he was not Senior Sister Su's everything!
At this moment, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had in his heart, he just felt uncomfortable and panicked in his heart.
Later, watching Senior Sister Su being pulled into the cold water bottle by Uncle Qingchen and escaping quickly, he suddenly figured it out. It turned out that this was the feeling of being abandoned!
He let the rune attach to him, paralyzed his whole body and fell to the ground, quickly extracted the spiritual power in his body, slowly closed his eyes, and never wanted to open them again!
He just closed his eyes, feeling that his strength was being drained bit by bit, but he didn't even have a trace of resistance.
Since his parents left, he regarded Senior Sister Su as his everything, his only sustenance, and the direction of his practice. He was even willing to do anything for Senior Sister Su, but Senior Sister Su hesitated twice when she saved him.
He once thought that Senior Sister Su, who had a similar life experience to him, would do anything for love like him, but now he understood that he was the only one who was determined to do it, and Senior Sister Su had too many concerns.
Although he understood Senior Sister Su's concerns, he could not accept the result of being abandoned here under such circumstances.
This was a relationship that had ended before it even began. Duan Qing had no desire to survive at this time. He no longer had any obsession in his heart and could not find a reason to live.
Now he only hoped to enter reincarnation as soon as possible and follow his parents.
After an unknown period of time, Duan Qing felt that all his strength seemed to have been drained. He could not even move his fingers. In fact, he did not want to move, and quietly wanted to die.
But he did not do so. Although his body seemed to be dead and his consciousness was becoming increasingly sluggish, he remained alive. Even if he did not think about anything and his mind was empty, he could still realize that he was still alive.
After a long time, he suddenly felt as if something had left his body. He once thought it was his soul leaving his body.
But what disappointed Duan Qing was that after that, his body seemed to gradually come alive, and his strength slowly returned to his body. It seemed that as long as he wanted, he could get up immediately.
But he did not want to do this. He still did not think about anything and did nothing, just as if he was dead.
Compared with the cruel reality he faced after opening his eyes, Duan Qing would rather be dead!
"Hey, why are you pretending to be dead!"
At this time, a voice sounded next to him. It was Master Xue. He had already resumed his actions and stared at Duan Qing for a while. He found that this guy had been pretending to be dead, so he could not help but expose him.
Duan Qing turned a deaf ear to it, and did not even think about who was talking, and continued to maintain a selfless state.
Master Xue saw that Duan Qing continued to pretend to be dead, and he no longer paid attention to it and observed the situation around him.
At this time, the giant stone that the sealed node had transformed into had completely disappeared, and countless runes surrounded the entire fourth-layer space, forming a certain formation, looming like stars in the sky.
Seeing this, Master Xue immediately walked to the edge of the water and tried to return to the third layer.
What made him desperate was that as soon as he approached the water, the runes hidden in the water suddenly lit up, and the spiritual power that had just recovered in his body was instantly drained away, and his body was paralyzed again.
