Chapter 381
"Yuan, are you overestimating Rong Hengyu? He has already betrayed me, what does his life or death have to do with me?"
Nalan Jingwen's expression was indifferent, seemingly indicating that he truly had no feelings for Rong Hengyu and cared nothing for his life or death.
Nangong Yu'an laughed out loud, "Did you hear that? You risked your life to hide her whereabouts, but she doesn't care about you at all. You still want to have her child, such a selfish person, you fool!"
At some point, Rong Hengyu woke up. His gaze fell vaguely on Nalan Jingwen, his expression blank and unusually calm, showing no emotional fluctuations due to Nalan Jingwen's words.
Nalan Jing met his gaze without uttering a word.
"Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong?"
A sharp sword flew into the air, aiming for Rong Hengyu's stomach. Nalan Jingwen's expression hardened, but before he could make a move, another long sword appeared out of thin air, deflecting the sword aimed at Rong Hengyu's stomach and embedding itself in his shoulder.
Rong Hengyu frowned slightly, and bright red blood spilled from his mouth, falling onto his clothes like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
"Master!!"
Hongyun appeared out of nowhere and leaped towards Rong Hengyu with all her might.
Nangong Yu'an gently raised her hand, and a longbow fell into her hand. She slowly drew the bowstring and aimed it at Hongyun. Nalan Jingwen had no time to think. She flicked out the Thousand Silk Blade from her wrist, wrapped it around Hongyun's waist, and pulled her back sharply, throwing her in front of the Mirror Pool. The sharp arrow grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
"Keep an eye on her!"
Mirror Pool quickly sealed Hongyun's acupoints.
"Yes."
Because of Rong Hengyu's appearance, Nalan Jingwen's side was put on the defensive. Helian Ziyu clenched his fists, wishing he could tear Nangong Yu'an to pieces.
"Nangong Yu'an, what kind of woman are you, threatening us with men?!"
"Isn't it enough that it works?"
Nangong Yu'an didn't care at all, and manipulated the longsword to stab Rong Hengyu's stomach again. A white light flashed, and the longsword broke in mid-air and fell to the ground.
Nangong Yu'an's expression suddenly turned dangerous as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared.
Xue Qingheng's gaze fell on Rong Hengyu's stomach, then she turned her head to look at Nalan Jingwen, her tone solemn.
"When a divine beast becomes pregnant, it will use most of its divine power to protect the child in its womb, so the current Xuanfeng is vulnerable."
When Xue Qingheng pointed out Nalan Jingwen's doubts, her expression finally changed.
When she first learned that Rong Hengyu had been captured, and even just now, she was still wondering how Rong Hengyu could be so easily controlled by Nangong Yu'an, even if he was poisoned by the Blue Silk Grass. She even wondered if Rong Hengyu had other tricks up his sleeve that allowed him to remain under Nangong Yu'an's control.
But Xue Qingheng told her that Rong Hengyu had used most of his divine power to protect the child in his womb, and now he was vulnerable and just like a mortal who knew martial arts.
Nalan Jingwen suddenly looked up, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
She could disregard Rong Hengyu's life or death, but she couldn't disregard the child in his womb.
Moreover, even if Rong Hengyu were to die, he shouldn't have died at Yuan's hands.
"Didn't you already know what I wanted to do?"
"I want you dead, I want your soul and spirit annihilated, never to be reincarnated!"
Nangong Yu'an raised his hand, and a rain of arrows poured down. Soon, a thick stench of blood spread, and the sounds of flesh being pierced and weapons clashing echoed in his ears. Nalan Jingwen's eyes suddenly turned red.
Helian Ziyu deflected the arrow aimed straight at Nangong Shiyu's head and shouted to Nalan Jingwen, "You and Xue Guoshi go to rescue Rong Hengyu, the rest of you prepare!"
"Attack the city gate! Set up the siege ladders!"
The massive army, facing a hail of arrows, approached the city gate, ladders were erected, and soldiers climbed them one after another.
Nalan Fengxing's expression changed, and she shrieked, "If you don't make a move, when are you going to?!"
"Noisy!"
With a wave of his hand, Nangong Yu'an sent Nalan Fengxing flying, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, Xue Qingheng flew towards Rong Hengyu, but Nangong Yu'an was not flustered at all. He gathered his profound energy in his palm and struck Xue Qingheng. The latter's pupils shrank, and he tried to dodge, but almost in the blink of an eye, the red light entered Xue Qingheng's body.
A silver-white figure fell from the sky, and Nalan Jingwen rushed over and caught the person.
Xue Qingheng grasped her hand, his voice unusually solemn.
"wrong……"
"Her soul has already returned to its rightful place, don't go!!"
Xue Qingheng's words made Nalan Jingwen's blood freeze, and he stared in disbelief at the woman on the city wall.
The army conquered cities along the way, but never saw Nangong Yu'an appear. It was Nalan Fengxing who issued the orders. There were also rumors that she was searching for the Yichen Pearl with a large sum of money but had not found it. Therefore, Nalan Jingwen naturally believed that her soul was still incomplete.
But now I know that she has already regained her strength!
Nangong Yu'an smiled as he watched the soldiers climbing upwards, his eyes flashing with mockery and disdain, as if he were looking at ants.
"It is truly foolish for a mortal to attempt to kill a god."
She gently raised her hand, and it seemed as if a huge, invisible hand appeared in the sky, slowly descending with her movement. Nalan Jingwen's eyes widened in horror.
"don't want!!"
As the sandstorm raged, everyone felt as if they were being crushed by invisible boulders, struggling to breathe. In the next instant, they were squeezed and exploded to death, leaving behind a scene of blood and gore, with organs shattered everywhere, and even all the weapons were crushed into powder.
Despite his best efforts, Jingchi could only barely protect Helian Ziyu and Nangong Shiyu.
Xue Qingheng then conjured a barrier to protect Nalan Jingwen. The barrier was shattered, and blood spurted from his mouth, landing on his snow-white clothes. He then slowly slid down against Nalan Jingwen's body.
Nangong Yu'an looked down with some disdain, then turned his gaze to Nalan Jingwen.
"now you."
She raised her hand again, and the long sword, carrying a chilling momentum, rushed towards Nalan Jingwen at an extremely fast speed. It looked like it was about to pierce her heart. Jingchi's eyes turned bloodshot, and she leaped up to try to block the attack.
But a blood-covered figure was faster, blocking her way, and a long sword pierced through the chest of the person in front of her in an instant.
As if time had stopped, Nalan Jingwen stared blankly at the man blocking his way, feeling a chill run down his spine.
He said, "Nalan Jingwen, I don't owe you anything anymore."
The sound was very soft, almost inaudible.
A ringing sound filled her ears, and the person in front of her seemed to lose all life in an instant, collapsing before her.
Nalan Jingwen reached out and caught his falling body, his voice filled with rare panic and helplessness.
"Rong Hengyu?"
The moment Nalan Jingwen held him, he realized just how light the body in his arms was. It was so thin and bony, like a feather, floating lightly, just a skeleton. Yet its slender limbs supported its enormous belly.
Rong Hengyu lay in her arms, blood continuously oozing from his mouth and wounds, as if it would never stop, draining all the blood from his body.
"Rong Hengyu!"
What do you mean he doesn't owe her anything anymore? Even if he dies, he should die by her hand!!
