Two howls echoed as the two shadows flew toward the red light that was Wang Changrui’s origin soul.

One of the swords pierced directly though the pale red origin soul and into Wang Changrui’s abdomen. The Soul Heart Sword released a red fire that could even burn Wang Changrui’s origin soul.

The Departing Soul Sword directly pierced between Wang Changrui’s eyebrows and emitted the same red fire. The sword didn’t pierce through his head, but the end of the sword trembled violently. Not a drop of blood flowed out from the tip of the sword that had pierced Wang Changrui’s head.

Then the light in Wang Changrui’s eyes lost their luster and his vitality rapidly decreased. The pale red origin soul before him slowly dissipated.

Wang Changrui died like this. Even when he died, his eyes were wide with disbelief. A few juniors had killed him, and he had just reached the Soul Formation Realm. The future was filled with good times for him to enjoy.

Wang Changrui’s body slowly leaned backward and fell to the ground. The Blood Fiend Pavilion’s Pavilion Master died like this, without a chance for his soul to reincarnate. When he embarked on the path of evil, he should have known that this would eventually be his fate.

Seeing Wang Changrui fall to the ground, Song Rujing and Song Yuansheng slowly walked up. They were still vigilant and weren’t relaxed just because Wang Changrui had fallen to the ground. Only after they were sure that Wang Changrui’s aura was gone did the two of them let out sighs of relief before pulling their swords out. Then they released their purple origin fire to burn Wang Changrui’s body to ashes. Their mission in the Liu Province was finally complete. Perhaps there were some small frys left, but they weren’t enough to worry about.

Ling Bo Re had already turned and knelt beside Zhao Jiuge. Her eyes were filled with concern as she held Zhao Jiuge’s head up. She took out a bottle continuing a few shining pills and poured them all into Zhao Jiuge’s mouth. Although her face was calm, her trembling hands betrayed her heart.

When Song Rujing and Song Yuansheng saw this, they immediately ran over. They huddled around Zhao Jiuge, who was lying on the ground.

Song Rujing’s expression was not very good and she angrily stared at Ling Bo Re. She impatiently patted Ling Bo Re, who was hovering over Zhao Jiuge. She seemed to not trust Ling Bo Re’s pills and took out a black pill of her own that she put into Zhao Jiuge’s mouth. The moment the pill entered his mouth, it melted into spirit force that spread through his body.

Song Rujing looked at Song Yuansheng and angrily shouted, “Aren’t you good with medical skills? Quickly, check to see if he can be saved!”

Song Yuansheng nodded. He didn’t speak any nonsense and checked Zhao Jiuge’s situation.

Zhao Jiuge’s face turned from pale to a morbid red. His eyes were closed and his breathing was weak.

His upper body was already stained red with blood, and the blood contained a hint of golden light. The blood was not only from the blade wound; most of it came from the pores on his skin because a large amount of the meridians in his body had been damaged.

Song Yuansheng frowned and carefully observed the situation. He felt like the situation was not good. He let out a sigh and condensed a sliver of green light at his fingertips. Then he released the light into Zhao Jiuge’s body through his wrist to check the situation inside his body. On the side, Ling Bo Re and Song Rujing were staring at Song Yuansheng.

Shortly after, Song Yuansheng was filled with disbelief. The other two who were observing Song Yuansheng immediately became nervous. Although Ling Bo Re’s expression was not as exaggerated as Song Rujing’s, her eyes were filled with concern.

Song Yuansheng, who was ready to speak, suddenly thought of something. Then he looked at Ling Bo Re with an odd gaze.

Seeing Song Yuansheng suddenly close his mouth when he was about to speak, Song Rujing couldn’t endure it anymore. “How is he? Quickly, speak! Don’t be pretentious!” 

“What is this nonsense? I’m still your big brother!” Seeing his little sister yelling at him, Song Yuansheng couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. He secretly sighed and wondered why this brat Zhao Jiuge was so lucky for his little sister to be so concerned.

“What kind of situation is this for you to still be saying stuff like this? How is he!?” Song Rujing finally growled. Although Ling Bo Re remained silent, she was no less anxious than Song Rujing.

“It's hopeless. Most of his meridians are damaged and even his heart is damaged. He won’t last long; even pills would just delay his death,” Song Yuansheng said in anger as he stared at Song Rujing. Then he got up and walked to the side.

After hearing this, Song Rujing didn’t even care about Song Yuansheng's attitude. Even Ling Bo Re was shocked by this information.

Song Rujing and Ling Bo Re started at Zhao Jiuge dumbfoundedly. Song Rujing originally held some hope, and now that hope was destroyed, she felt pain in her heart. This was the first friend she had made, and now he was going to leave her already.

Ling Bo Re looked at Zhao Jiuge’s handsome, bloodstained face. She remained silent and only reacted after a while. She gently wiped the blood from Zhao Jiuge’s face, and after hesitating a bit, she held his cold hand. Although she had never made a move toward anyone, facing this man who had shaken her heart again and again, she was willing to let herself be willful this once.

Seeing Ling Bo Re’s sadness and actions, Song Rujing’s expression became a bit better. At this moment, she was no longer cold and noble and had finally revealed her true self.

Most of Zhao Jiuge's meridians had been damaged by the attack and he had fainted for a period of time. He had just begun to sober up when he heard Song Yuansheng’s words. He couldn’t help but feel shocked, but he didn’t regret it.

Even if he knew the result, he would still have blocked for Ling Bo Re. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ling Bo Re holding his hand. He smiled from the bottom of his heart. He felt like everything he had done was worth it.

Others wanted the beauty to smile at them, he only hoped the beauty would be concerned for him.

However, when Song Rujing and Ling Bo Re saw this dazzling smile, they felt grief-stricken.

Song Rujing felt that it wasn’t worth it for Zhao Jiuge. Since ancient times, love had caused the death of so many men and women. She didn’t expect Zhao Jiuge to suffer this fate too.

Ling Bo Re looked at Zhao Jiuge, forcing a smile, and felt a sense of panic she tried to suppress. She also felt a deep sense of guilt.

“Song Rujing, come here. Don’t disturb the two of them.” Song Yuansheng watched from a distance and couldn’t help but feel his mouth twitch. He winked at Zhao Jiuge, who was lying on the ground.

Hearing her big brother’s slightly stern voice and then looking at Zhao Jiuge and Ling Bo Re, she obediently went to Song Yuansheng’s side. However, there was still sadness in her eyes, and when Song Yuansheng saw this, he gritted his teeth.

Seeing his distraught little sister, Song Yuansheng looked at Ling Bo Re and carefully whispered to Song Rujing, “I’ll tell you something, but you must remain calm and not make a fuss.”

Normally, according to his little sister’s usual personality, he expected her to eagerly ask what it was. However, Song Rujing seemed to be in a trance and didn’t even look at him.

“Zhao Jiuge is not in a life-threatening situation.” Helpless Song Yuansheng revealed this important information.

After Song Yuansheng said this, he stared at his little sister but didn’t see any reaction. It seemed like she hadn’t heard him until a few seconds later.

Song Rujing suddenly looked up at Song Yuansheng and asked, “What did you say?” Her eyes were filled with a hint of doubt but also a hint of joy.

Song Yuansheng helplessly repeated himself and said, “I said Zhao Jiuge is not dead. His body just suffered heavy injuries and will require several months to recover.

“Really?” Song Rujing frowned and looked at Song Yuansheng with disbelief. She was worried that Song Yuansheng was lying to her just to comfort her.

Seeing the doubt in Song Rujing’s eyes, Song Yuansheng pouted and said, “Really. His body is like a tortoise shell. Although he looks seriously injured, the key parts of his body are fine. It’s just that his meridians are damaged and he can’t cultivate or use any spirit force for now. I don’t know the specifics; perhaps it's because of his cultivation method, or perhaps he had some treasure protecting his body.”

In truth, aside from the Purple Ji Chaotic Thunder Armor, which had played a vital role in keeping him, it was also due the Sanskrit Divine Body and his grade-8 spirit core.

When that blade slashed down, although he didn’t use any spirit force, the armor had still weakened the blow by a lot. At the same time, during the moment of danger, his grade-8 spirit core had spat out the last bit of spirit force, protecting him to a certain degree. The most important thing was that the laughing buddha inside Zhao Jiuge’s dantian had protected his dantian and heart. That was why even though his body had suffered serious injuries, his situation was not life-threatening.

Song Rujing half believed and half suspected Song Yuansheng’s words while nodding. Then she dragged out her words and asked, “Then… Why did you say all that earlier?”

Song Yuansheng’s expression became strange. “I originally didn’t want to either, but when I saw Ling Bo Re, I had a thought. I deliberately said that to see if there would be any reaction from Ling Bo Re. I hope to use this opportunity to match them and make her feel a bit guilty.”

Song Rujing was suddenly startled and didn’t expect the situation to be like this. She wanted to erupt in anger but then thought of something and quickly covered her mouth. She then looked at Song Yuansheng angrily, pointed at him, and whispered, “Song Yuansheng, have you even learned to deceive people now? How about I tell our teacher about it once we get back?”

Song Yuansheng immediately looked like he was about to cry. “Aren’t I looking out for that brat Zhao Jiuge? I see he is interested in Ling Bo Re, but she completely ignores him. Am I not doing it out of good intention to help him?”

Song Rujing folded her arms and rolled her eyes at Song Yuansheng. After a while she said “Seeing you have good intentions I’ll let this go but to tell you the truth I really don’t like that Ling Bo Re.”

Seeing that Song Rujing was letting this matter go, Song Yuansheng felt a bit relieved. Then he glanced at Zhao Jiuge’s direction and said, “Why do you care about what goes on between them? Or are you jealous and interested in Zhao Jiuge?”

“Bullshit!” It was rare for the mild-mannered Song Rujing to curse like this. She stared angrily at Song Yuansheng and looked like she was ready to teach him a lesson.

Song Yuansheng chuckled a bit and pointed over toward Zhao Jiuge. “Hurry up and watch the show.”

Hearing this, Song Rujing quickly turned her head and looked over.
