C150

I kept staring into his eyes, still hoping to see a trace of doubt, but I didn't see anything else I wanted to see until a red light rose up to cover the sky.

My whole body was covered in a layer of white hair! My heart suddenly had a premonition that something was about to happen. Just as I wanted to stop Zi Ye, I suddenly lost control of my arm that was being held tightly. I watched as Zi Ye's face moved a little further away from me before disappearing from my sight along with an afterimage.

At the same time, there was a loud bang from behind him!

I hastily turned my head, only to see Zi Ye grabbing Wang Yi Shao's neck and pressing him hard against the rock wall. However, this time, the latter clearly did not let Zi Ye's actions to continue like before.

I saw Wang Yigao forcefully grab onto Zi Ye's hand that was grabbing onto his neck. His body pressed against the wall as his upper body slightly leaned forward, almost resting on Zi Ye's shoulder. He relied on his waist's strength to offset most of Zi Ye's strength.

From my point of view, Wang Yigao looked like he was lying on Zi Ye's shoulder. From afar, the two of them seemed to have an ambiguous posture. However, one could tell from his pale face and the veins on his forehead that he was painfully resisting.

We were stuck in a stalemate for who knows how long. When I realised what Zi Ye was planning and remembered what I wanted to do, the direction they were facing exploded with a bang. The two of them instantly pulled away from the stalemate.

I was pushed back five or six steps by the aftermath of the explosion before I hit the cold rock wall and steadied myself.

Zi Ye's body was also sent flying by the loud sound. Just like me, he only managed to stop his momentum after colliding with the rock wall behind him.

However, Zi Ye had embedded half of his body into the stone wall when I struck him. The anger that had been burning in my heart was immediately extinguished by the torrential rain. There was not even a spark left.

I stumbled toward the wall into which Ziye had fallen, shouting his name as I ran, but no matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't get out.

Before I realized it, someone had set up a barrier in front of me. The barrier is transparent and there isn't a line of sight or sound that can be heard from inside and outside, but no matter what, I can't take a step inside.

I anxiously looked at everything that happened inside and saw Zi Ye standing up from the cliff. His clothes were a little messy and his aura was much colder than when he shouted at me. The redness that had replaced the fury in his eyes seemed to cover the entire sky like a scorching cloud!

Not only did the flames burn the clouds, it seemed as if even the sky itself had been set ablaze.

I continuously smashed the barrier outside, and my heart throbbed in anxiety as though it was tightly clenched.

Zi Sang An and Wang Yichang started to fight intensely. Every time the two of them collided, the movements of my hands would become even more intense, causing the barrier to ripple like water.

When I came here, I was trapped in that black sack with Wang Yi, so I couldn't see the situation outside. It seems like the two people that were fighting in the air at that time should be pretty similar to now.

At this moment, they were completely surrounded by fire and ice. Even from the outside, I could only see a little bit of the situation inside. The two blurry figures would collide and split apart at times, like two identical magnets that were filled with magnetism. When they met face to face, there would be a burst of impact, causing the two of them to heavily smash into the rock walls in both directions while surrounded by the barrier. Afterwards, they could tell that one side had weakened a bit, while the other one immediately stood up and started bombarding the other side! The two of them seemed to be talking in the middle of a fierce battle, but the sound of ice and fire clashing was so intense that my ears were ringing and I couldn't hear what was being said inside.

As the battle inside intensified, I was feeling extremely tormented at the edge of the barrier. I was knocked out of the barrier by the aftershocks from the two attacks, and I was back again and again to continue hitting on the barrier.

I shouted for them to stop. I shouted until I lost my voice and a stream of blood came out. However, it was as if they didn't hear me at all as they continued to fight inside.

Finally, Zi Ye, who had been in the middle of his rage all this time, saw an opening in Wang Yichang's movement and charged straight at him. A long sword suddenly appeared in his empty hand.

My whole body tensed up abruptly. I wanted to tell Zi Ye to stop, but my throat couldn't utter a word. His hand froze on top of the barrier, momentarily forgetting to slap it.

It was over.

The hum in my ears drowned out the sound of the air tearing through the barrier.

A conclusion that would happen very quickly flashed through his mind — Zi Ye would kill Wang Yigao.

Just because of a joke about me, let him kill a good friend of his!

I felt a surge of guilt. His legs felt almost unsteady from the guilt. I braced my joints to keep from falling.

I knew from the way they had talked that they must have been very good friends. Although Zi Sang was not using his royal family's identity, but an alias called Zi Ye, the relationship between them should be real.

But now, they were fighting within a transparent barrier!

While my heart was churning, Zi Ye's sword had already pierced Wang Yigao's waist. As long as he jabbed upwards, that jade-like face of his would be directly split into two halves. Even if he didn't die, his cultivation in the underworld would still be severely injured.

I'm going to close my eyes --

However, just as I covered my eyes, the clearly dying Wang Yigao suddenly stood up, grabbed the sword that Zi Ye had stabbed into his body, raised his right hand, and a ray of light flashed across his right hand. Afterwards, a long spear appeared in my sight.

It was the same weapon I had guessed at when I was tied to it in the bag. It was just that the weapon was stabbed into the icy ground then, but now it is aimed at Zi Ye's chest!

Everything went dark before my eyes. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. I saw that the spear had suddenly stopped less than five centimeters away from Ziye's chest.

The black spread out in front of my eyes, like a thick drop of ink on a piece of paper, and now it was being gently pushed across the whole piece of paper by an invisible hand.

The ink began to fade. It was actually a layer of blood.

I looked at Young Master Wang Yi and Zi Ye across the crimson patch. I only had one thought in my mind, and that was to save Zi Ye from that long spear.

I will never see him hurt again.

If I had been able to keep my head and escape in the dark sack, that would have meant that I could not have seen it.

I could not see that he was injured, so I was able to use my reason to speak reason; and now, seeing with my own eyes that Ziye had been wounded in front of me, or that he was a burden to me, all of it was blocked out by the thin red film of blood before my eyes.

Right now, Zishan's death wasn't the identity of a royal family. His mana was sealed, and he didn't have a powerful background. He was just a man who was jealous because of me!

The two people in my line of sight seemed suddenly to be closing in on me, and I could reach them with a single hand.

How could I hesitate? Immediately pulling Zi Ye to my side, I raised my right hand to push out Wang Yichang's spear. Following that, Wang Yigao's body unexpectedly followed the long spear and smashed into the wall. Furthermore, the force that I pushed out this time was clearly much more ruthless than the few times I was pushed back by Zi Ye.

His body actually created a huge crater on the wall. The tortoise pattern on the wall extended throughout the entire cave, and even the Night Pearls hanging on the ceiling of the cave began to crack. Suddenly, the cave sank into darkness.

When everything went completely dark, I saw that Zi Ye and Wang Yi were looking at me with astonished or shocked expressions. I saw Wang Yi raise his bloody face to stare at me with his mouth wide open, while I protected Zi Ye from me with an expression of disbelief.

I grinned through my blood-stained lips. Wouldn't it be unbelievable? I was hallucinating.

How could I break into their barriers and stop their fighting?

After that, I lost consciousness

When feeling again, the first connection with the brain is the sensory nerve. I felt my body grow heavy and I couldn't even lift my eyes.

All the bones in his body felt as if they had been crushed by a wheel. There was not a single spot that did not hurt. The pain in his right arm was especially severe. I was only trying to move my finger, but I couldn't move half my body.

His left arm seemed to be hugging an ice-cold thing. His entire body was scorching hot, and the temperature in his embrace was the most comfortable. I unconsciously hugged my ice-cold arm tighter. Even though my arm had gone numb from the pressure, I didn't pull it out.

Suddenly, the coolness in my arms was touched by my arm to a little of my exposed skin. My body suddenly jolted awake.

I drowsily gathered all of my strength into my eyelids and opened my eyes a crack. My mind was still not clear, and my eyes were misty, as if my pupils were out of focus.

Gradually, the scenery in front of my eyes became clear. I finally understood what was in my embrace earlier.

Or who.

Ziye's face, frozen with blood, became clear in my vision. He closed his eyes, and the redness that had been etched into my heart was now covered by a layer of icy cold, pale eyelids. His lips, no longer curved in the old way, were pressed into a straight line.

Startled, I stared at him for a moment, and then, as if in resignation, laid my head gently against his chest.

I don't know why I did it. It was like a habit, as long as he was by my side, I wanted to lean against his chest.

Not for anything but to hear his heart beat. Because I think the heart beat best reflects a person's mood. It can't speak, but it can use the frequency of the jump to reflect that person's truest thoughts.

I put my ear to his chest, and in less than a second, my heart is thumping.

At first, I thought it was just my imagination, so I deliberately moved my ear to a different place to listen, but the result was the same.

The blood drained from his face in an instant!

I yanked my arm out from under him and pushed it back and forth over him.

His heart was pounding! I didn't hear his heart! His once strong heartbeat, my favorite rhythm all along, would say to me, "Be at ease," the organ throbbing in his chest!

I didn't hear it.
