Zhang Xiaozhu and Qi Yoyo were hit by Yan Taibai's palm wind. They felt as if they were being scraped by thousands of sharp blades scraping flesh and bones. The pain was so painful that they were suffocated and couldn't scream even if they wanted to.
Just when they thought they were about to die, the pain in their bodies suddenly disappeared, and then the breath stuck in their chests finally came out.
Zhang Xiaozu felt that his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground. Qi Yoyo's body fell into his arms.
His eyes fell on Qi Yoyo with concern, as if he was struck by lightning.
I saw that Qi Yoyo was already as old as a hundred-year-old woman, her eyebrows and hair were all as pale as snow, her face was like tree bark, with black wrinkles, and her body was even more skinny with only skin and bones left.
Qi Yoyo's saggy eyelids were tightly closed, and her breathing was erratic, with more air coming out and less air coming in. It looked like she was going to die.
"Yo yo——!"
Zhang Xiaozu called out urgently, and a hoarse old voice came out from his throat.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was as old as Qi Yoyo, with only a trace of free vitality left in his depleted body.
Zhang Xiaozu looked up at Yan Taibai, knowing in his heart that it was his palm that took away the lives of him and Qi Yoyo.
"Weak and ridiculous anger." Yan Taibai and Zhang Xiaozu looked at each other, dismissing the anger in Zhang Xiaozu's eyes.
Facing Yan Taibai's ridicule, Zhang Xiaozhu was unable to refute, because he really had no resistance in front of Yan Taibai, and he was not weak and ridiculous.
"Senior, please have mercy!" Zhang Xiaozhu begged for mercy.
Yan Taibai pointed out his hand and said: "That fruit is called the Soul-Reviving Fruit. It can bring you back to life if you eat it. I originally raised it for myself, but unexpectedly someone came to help me resurrect. So this time the soul fruit is also
It’s no longer needed, you can pick it off and eat it and it will regain its vitality.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaozu put Qi Yoyo on the ground, then stood up with difficulty with his old body, walked over and picked off the soul-reviving fruit.
"Boy, stop!"
"Shu Zi, the Soul Resurrection Fruit is not something that mere mortals like you can get your hands on. Put it down quickly!"
"court death!"
When the first-generation guardian outside the light barrier saw Zhang Xiaopou picking the soul-reviving fruit, he bared his teeth and roared angrily.
Zhang Xiaozuli ignored them and walked back to Qi Yoyo with the soul-reviving fruit. He slowly opened Qi Yoyo's mouth and was about to crush the soul-reviving fruit and feed it to her.
When Yan Taibai saw that Zhang Xiaozu was about to give the soul-reviving fruit to Qi Yoyo without any hesitation, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he warned loudly: "Boy, you won't survive if you give it to her."
"If you can't live, you can't live." Zhang Xiaozu responded.
"Your mother is about to be forced by the Shen family to remarry, aren't you going to save her?" Yan Taibai asked.
When Zhang Xiaozhu heard this, his body trembled and his hands stopped.
"Your grandfather's life or death is unknown, why don't you go look for him?" Yan Taibai asked again.
"Your grandma is getting old and won't live for more than a year or two. Don't you want to spend the last time of your life with her?"
"Your father has just gotten over his heartache and overcome his grief. Are you going to let him send his white-haired man to his black-haired man and make him miserable again?"
Yan Taibai searched for Zhang Xiaozu's soul, so he knew everything about him.
Every word he said was the reason why Zhang Xiaozu had to live.
"I can't do it." Zhang Xiaozu was silent for a while, and then said.
"What can't be done?" Yan Taibai asked.
"You can't do it without saving your loved ones when they die in front of you. You can't do it by watching your loved ones die and live alone." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"Haha..." Yan Taibai laughed when he heard this, and said: "She is not married to you yet, so who does she count as your relative?
Have you ever thought that after you revive her, she might remember you for a year or two—
But there will come a time when she will forget about you, and then she will meet another man who makes her heart beat, and then she will marry that man and send him to the bridal chamber.
In the end, you are just a passer-by in her life.
Think about your grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, are you sure you want to save this woman who will become someone else's wife?"
Zhang Xiaozu used his right hand slightly to crush the soul-reviving fruit and fed it into Qi Yoyo's mouth bit by bit. He asked Yan Taibai: "Is this why you slaughtered billions of people in Qingzhou? You love
The woman married another man? Then you became crazy and took your anger out on the whole world?"
Yan Taibai did not answer Zhang Xiaozu's question, but looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked: "Why did you save her? Just because you love her?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and shook his head, saying: "I saved her not only because I love her, but also because my principles as a human being do not allow me not to save her."
What Yan Taibai said was indeed the reason why he had to live, but if he was asked to abandon Qi Yoyo and choose to live alone, he wouldn't be able to do it. He wouldn't be able to get through that hurdle in his conscience.
At this moment, if anyone Zhang Xiaozu thought was worth saving, such as Niu Dawa, Zhou Jianlai, Yuan Taiping, etc., were lying here, he would give up his own life to save them.
As for other things, he didn't care about that much.
"Boy, you are very good." Yan Taibai nodded to Zhang Xiaopou, his eyes full of approval, then raised his hand and said, "Time is running out, so I won't continue playing with you two juniors."
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt that his energy and blood were getting stronger again. He turned around and saw Qi Yoyo standing beside him, and the soul-returning fruit not far away was still growing on the branch. Only then did he realize what he had just experienced
are all hallucinations.
But his intuition told him that if he had not chosen to save Qi Yoyo, he would be a dead body now.
"Thank you for not killing me, senior!" Qi Yoyo saluted and thanked Yan Taibai. She had just experienced the same illusion as Zhang Xiaozu.
"You don't need to thank me. It was your choice that saved yourselves. Otherwise, you would be dead now." Yan Taibai said.
After speaking, he raised his hand and threw the Tai'a sword to Qi Yoyo. The sword returned to its original size in the air.
Qi Yoyo reached out to catch it.
"Since Tai'ajian has recognized you as its master, you should treat it well." Yan Taibai said.
"Junior, remember this," Qi Yoyo said.
Yan Taibai's eyes stayed on Tai'a Sword for a moment, then he looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said: "You will keep the Yin Yang Fish Pupil for now, and I will go to you to get it back after I leave here."
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boy, you are too weak, hurry up and become stronger. If you can't even protect the woman you love, who are you a man?!" Yan Taibai stared at Zhang Xiaozu and sneered.
Zhang Xiaozu smiled helplessly and murmured in his heart: "Am I too weak? It's obvious that you are too strong. You are all old monsters who have lived for who knows how long!"
"Boy, I will send you to the back of the white tiger later. You will awaken the white tiger's beast soul, and then use its power to break the barrier and lead the new generation of guardians to escape from this place." Yan Taibai said.
Zhang Xiaozu heard this and said hurriedly: "Senior, junior and a few friends -"
Yan Taibai interrupted him and said: "I will send everyone away from here together. I will give life back to those who just died in the land of silence.
Haha, just think of it as a good deed. After all, I was once a kind-hearted guardian of the sacred beast."
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't have time to be shocked by Yan Taibai's shocking words, and urgently pleaded: "Senior, please save my husband!"
"She..." Yan Taibai looked at Su Jin in red outside the barrier, shook his head and sighed: "We can't save her."
"Please, senior!" Zhang Xiaopou knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and begged.
Yan Taibai said: "Her two souls have merged into one. If they are separated forcibly, your husband will die faster. However... I have a method that may allow them to coexist as one. Are you willing to give it a try?"
?”
"I...will." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
are you willing?
Of course not.
How could he be willing to let a thousand-year-old monster take over his husband's body?
But he had to be willing, otherwise Su Jin would die and had no choice.
Click——
The barrier suddenly shattered, and the nine first-generation guardians rushed in riding the bones of the holy beast.
Yan Taibai touched the seal between Zhang Xiaozu's eyebrows with one finger and said: "I will teach you the method of awakening the soul of the white tiger."
Then he grabbed Zhang Xiaopeng from the air and said, "I'll lend you your Sanqing sword and use it. I will return it to you when I get out."
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked. He felt a hand forcefully break into his heart, grab the rusty sword stuck on the beach, and then pull it out.
Zheng!
The next moment, the rusty sword appeared in Yan Taibai's hand, and it kept clanging.
Yan Taibai waved his hand, and all the rust stains on the sword immediately fell off, revealing the purple and shining sword body.
Zhang Xiaozhu knew that he had no secrets in front of Yan Taibai, so he immediately took the last moment and asked: "Senior, what's going on with the many war gates in this junior's body? Who are the golden bones in the war gates? How should this junior cultivate?
"
"You are an atavistic body that can open nine orifices. That golden withered skeleton is the remains of a powerful senior, which is beneficial and harmless to you. As for how to practice, the atavistic body has been cultivated by thousands of people, so I can't
Guidance to you, you need to find your own path." Yan Taibai replied one by one.
"Senior, I——"
Qi Yoyo was about to ask something, but was blocked by a strong force that hit her face.
She and Zhang Xiaozu were swept up by this force and crossed the void to Baihu Mountain.
boom!
The nine first-generation guardians rushed to Yan Taibai and grabbed the soul-returning fruit together.
Yan Taibai swiped the Sanqing Sword in his hand, and the sword energy forced the nine people back, shouting: "The soul-reviving fruit will not mature for a hundred years, why are you so impatient, seniors?"
"Yan Taibai, you have been resurrected and reborn. Why are you still protecting the soul-reviving fruit? Quickly give it to the seniors."
"Yan Taibai, don't be so presumptuous. If you force us to release the shackles of our divine power, we will beat you to death."
"Haha..." Yan Taibai looked up to the sky and laughed, asking: "Do you know who I am?"
"I am Yan Taibai, what can you do to me with just nine of you?!"
Yan Taibai opened his eyes and shouted angrily. He activated the sword technique with his right hand and the Sanqing Sword turned into a purple-qi true dragon and soared into the sky. It flew thousands of feet into the sky. Purple light illuminated the heaven and earth, and complicated spell seals dropped down.
Yan Taibai made seals with both hands and grabbed the nine holy beast bones from the air. The holy beast bones suddenly roared and roared, throwing the nine first-generation guardians off their backs, and then turned and ran towards the peaks where they were located.
