Chapter 728 Begin Or End

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Many years ago, when Xu Han was still a beggar, he had heard his father say such a thing.

The heavens have strange phenomena, not blessing but calamity.

This was not a cautionary tale. It was more or less said in Shangyun City, or throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The world did not understand the way the world worked, and the more they did not understand, the more often they held a sense of reverence. Therefore, every time they encountered this or that incomprehensible situation, they would make wild guesses.

Xu Han didn't know if it was a phenomenon that had already been gloomy for several months, but today, the sun had suddenly risen in the sky. He also didn't know whether this phenomenon was a blessing or a calamity.

But no matter what, today was destined to be an extraordinary day for him and the world.

Meng Liang collapsed. With the half strand of lifeblood sword qi Wang Yangming had left him, he finally chopped off the young girl's head as he wished. Of course, this was a very exciting thing. At the very least, he had proved that this girl was not invincible. He had also avenged his companions who had died at the hands of this girl as he wished.

But at the same time, it was a very desperate matter.

After the girl fell, another boy of her age walked out. His body emitted the same terrifying yet restrained aura as the girl's. Another round of fierce battles broke out. Liu Sheng and Qin Keqing followed in the footsteps of everyone and fell under the boy's sword.

The sun had gradually climbed to the horizon. The golden sunlight shone down. Although most of the sunlight could not penetrate the human wall erected by the group of black-clothed youths, the sparse light still revealed everything on the Great Abyss Mountain.

The sword-wielding boy looked coldly in Xu Han's direction and spat out the same words that the girl had spat out back then, "Next."

There was a hint of urgency in his unhurried, unhappy tone, as if he was a little impatient.

The once vast crowd behind Xu Han was now left with few Ye Hongjian, Nineteen Masters and Disciples, Chu Chouli, Guang Lingui, and Chen Xuanji.

Ye Hongjian frowned. She tried her best to calm down the turmoil in her heart. Everything that happened in this night still revealed an unreal feeling to her even now. This was not difficult to understand. In fact, most people would inevitably feel this way when they saw their relatives and friends die in front of them in such a short period of time. It was as if everything in front of them was just a dream. As long as she woke up from it, everything would return to its original state.

But the cruelty of the world lies in the fact that the established facts will never be altered by the will of the individual.

Ye Hongjian understood this, so she raised her head to look at the youth with her back facing her. Ye Hongjian gritted her teeth and suppressed the unwillingness in her heart at that time. Then she took a step forward and arrived at the youth's side.

"It's my turn." She said in a relaxed tone.

However, just as she took that step, the youth reached out his hand and blocked her path.

Ye Hongjian did not expect Xu Han to do this, so she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Little Han?"

The youth with pitch-black eyes did not look at her. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "Big Brother Chu, it's your turn."

Chu Chouli, who had been standing behind the crowd, had probably never expected Xu Han to say such a thing. After all, in terms of cultivation, he estimated that the boy in front of him would be able to take his life with a gentle move of his finger. Naturally, he would not be able to delay the crowd for even the slightest bit of time, so sending him to attack would seem like a stupid move no matter what.

But strangely, the normally timid Chu Chouli was only slightly stunned at that time. Then, he properly tied up his sleeves and walked to Xu Han's side. He grinned and said, "You finally remember your big brother Chu!"

Amongst the people who were still alive, even the youngest nineteen understood Chu Chouli's three-legged kung fu. Not to mention this strange boy who could slay immortals, even nineteen himself might be able to fight Chu Chouli back and forth. What was the point of letting Chu Chouli go up?

At almost the same time, such a question appeared in the minds of everyone present. Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed even deeper. She looked at the youth beside her puzzled and was about to ask a question.

But before he could say anything, Xu Han turned to look at Chu Chouli beside him. He smiled and said, "I remember."

Chu Chouli's expression was relaxed without the slightest bit of fear of death. His gaze passed through the battlefield filled with the corpses of his companions and looked behind Gui Puti. He landed on the azure-robed figure and said, "We haven't had a drink together for a long time. Do you think we still have a chance?"

Xu Han's face was also full of smiles. He said, "As long as Big Brother Chu wants to, he will definitely have a chance."

"Is that so?" A bitter expression flashed in Chu Chouli's eyes. Obviously, he did not take Xu Han's words to heart. However, he was unwilling to destroy the atmosphere between the two of them. After all, he had been a coward for most of his life. He had to do something that could only be done by a hero with great difficulty. Naturally, he had to enjoy it well. Thus, Chu Chouli's expression quickly became relaxed again. He shrugged his nose and said, "Alright!"

"Wait for me to take care of that loser, then we brothers will drink together!"

"It's a deal." Xu Han narrowed his eyes and smiled.

After receiving such a response, Chu Chouli did not say anything else and casually walked to the center of the battlefield.

The boy who had already taken down Qin Keqing and Liu Sheng's lives one after another raised his sword and was about to attack, but Chu Chouli shrank his head as if he had regained his original nature. He said repeatedly, "Wait, I won't fight you, I want to change people!"

The boy probably didn't expect that someone would make such a strange request at this time. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but very quickly, his eyebrows turned cold again. Obviously, he didn't take Chu Chouli's request to heart. Just as he was about to make another move.

"Your Majesty" After a moment of hesitation, the green-robed woman standing behind Ghost Subhuti finally said, "I missed myself, but this matter happened."

Gui Puti was not surprised by the green-robed woman's request. She only raised her head to look at the dome. The sea of clouds that had been sealed off by the Demon Monarch had a faint tendency to surge again, and the giant face seemed to be about to condense again.

"Hurry up, we don't have much time left." Gui Puti said.

The woman who received this reply immediately showed a grateful expression. She respectfully bowed to Gui Puti and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." And then she stepped out.

Strangely enough, almost as soon as she walked out, the boy who was still filled with killing intent seemed to have his soul extracted in an instant. The momentum around him dispersed, and the killing intent between his eyebrows also dissipated. At that time, he was like a statue. His body slowly retreated and submerged into the group of children like him.

...

Ran Qingyi and Chu Chouli walked together. The two of them didn't look at each other around ten feet away. Ye Hongjian could vaguely hear what they were saying. It was probably all about faith and sect. Ye Hongjian did not hear it very clearly. Of course, with her cultivation in the Immortal Realm, it was not too difficult for her to understand these things. However, at this moment, she did not have any good leisure to care about the old matters between Chu Chouli and Ran Qingyi.

She looked at the youth beside her. Of course, she knew what this youth was hiding from her. She could not ask because she believed that he would always make the right decision. As his unmarried wife, all she had to do was stand firmly behind him.

But now, this thought was slightly shaken.

She wasn't sure what Xu Han was thinking, nor could she imagine that Xu Han, who was willing to endure all the hardships and sacrifice his life for his friend, would make such a decision. Even if this was the most sensible decision...

It wasn't that she didn't believe Xu Han, but that she knew Xu Han too well, which was why she became even more confused.

When Xu Han stopped her and sent Chu Chou away, she reached the peak of such doubts. She frowned and hesitated again and again. Although she understood that it was useless to say this at this moment, she still wanted to ask.

Rumble!

However, just as she opened her mouth, a loud thunderous sound rang out in the sky, and the sea of clouds suddenly began to gather. The sun was covered by black clouds, and the darkness once again enveloped her. At that moment, the giant face that had been suppressed by the Demon Lord appeared in the sky again.

His gaze landed on the flat top of the Great Abyss Mountain, sweeping across everyone before finally landing on Ghost Subhuti. Thunder surged in his huge eyes. He asked in an urn, "What are you doing? There are so many demons. Haven't you gotten the Demon Lord's blood essence in such a long time?"

That tone was filled with a sense of intimidation and urgency.

Gui Puti narrowed his eyes and looked at the face in the sky. He calmly asked, "What's the hurry, Immortal Sovereign? I have already won. Could it be that with the strength in my hand, they can still cause any waves?"

"Long nights and long dreams, kill them now, otherwise …" The giant face roared loudly, each word carrying the sound of thunder.

Hearing that, Gui Puti immediately fell silent. A certain light flashed in her narrowed eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Then, she nodded and replied calmly, "Yes!"

With these words, the nine young children in front of Gui Puti and the thousand Saint Marquises behind him all responded. A boundless aura surged out, almost crushing the entire Great Abyss Mountain. Killing intent surged forth like a river, engulfing everyone.

Even Ye Hongjian felt that her aura was not smooth under such an imposing aura. She had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart. She looked at Xu Hanyan with a pale face and said, "Xiao Han and the others are going to break their agreement. We don't have time to delay any longer. Let's fight them!"

Although Ye Hongjian was a woman, her temper was even stronger than that of an ordinary man. After witnessing the deaths of several good friends in succession, her heart was already filled with anger. Now that she finally found an opportunity, she naturally put down all her thoughts and wanted to fight to the death with Gui Puti and the others.

After hearing her words, Xu Han, who was standing beside her, also tightened his grip on the pitch-black sword in his hand. He lowered his head and muttered, "Yeah, we can't drag on any longer. We don't have much time left."

Xu Han's tone was very strange. He wasn't as heroic as the person who was about to fight for his life. Instead, he was filled with fear and trembling.

However, at this moment, Ye Hongjian did not pay much attention to Xu Han's anomaly. She raised the longsword in her hand and the burning Spiritual Flames surrounded her. She stared at the army that had already overwhelmed the sky and the earth and said coldly, "However, death is not enough."

The last word "fear" did not have the chance to be spat out by her again, and her words came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

Her eyes were wide open, and the sockets that had once been filled with spiritual energy were now filled with inconceivable terror. She lowered her head and looked down. A pitch-black sword pierced through her abdomen, and violent sword intent surged towards her organs. Even the boundless vitality of an immortal was instantly shattered by the violent sword intent.

She wasn't afraid of death. She just couldn't accept that she would die like this... and she couldn't accept that she would die at his hands...

"Xiao Han... Why..."

She used her last bit of strength to look at the owner of the black longsword and asked this question with incomparable confusion.

The youth raised his head and looked at the girl with his pitch-black eyes. The expression on his face was fanatical and twisted, so much so that the girl felt a little unfamiliar.

He opened his mouth to reveal his stuttering teeth.

He said with a smile and a tearful tone.

"This story begins with me..."

"It can only end with me …"

"Remember, remember... Take a look at the beautiful scenery of the Myriad Domains."
