Embers

Severe pain swept through the body, there was no warmth in the blood, the limbs were numb, and the mind was completely chaotic. The pictures of various fragments repeated, sometimes gathering and sometimes dissipating.

It is a sword blade with a cold light.

It was blood that flowed slowly, dark red.

It's fallen limbs.

It was white hair stained with blood.

……

In the chaos, the figure of a person began to emerge indistinctly.It's a small silhouette, but just up to the waist of an adult man, his face is still not clear, without those dark eyes, when he looked over, he was gloomy and indifferent.

It should have made people shudder, but why, the desperate pain that almost torn apart swept his whole body.

He thought as much as he could, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember who the child was.

The chill infiltrated bit by bit, and the strength of the body gradually dissipated like a thread, the consciousness was already hazy, and the drowsiness spread.

Go to sleep, too sleepy, too tired, too painful.

Go to sleep, maybe when you open your eyes you will remember who he is.

Obviously thinking like this, but my heart was violently flustered and restless.

That child is very important to him!

For some reason, he felt like he couldn't sleep.

There is a large area of ​​fog in front of you, and you are like a trapped animal in it, and you can't find the exit.

And the shadow of the child was right in front of his eyes, standing vaguely.

Those eyes came into view clearly.

Where have you seen...

He tried hard to think back.

"Li Mei."

Finally, he spoke.

The voice was deep and hoarse.

He froze there suddenly.

The fog cleared, and everything in front of him was clearly visible. The man walked slowly, his figure elongated a little bit, and his long hair slowly changed from black like ink to white like frost and snow.

ember!

He roared out these two words silently.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly opened his eyes!

Everything began to slowly come back to his mind, the scattered fragments began to order, and the severe pain began to recover a little bit. He clearly remembered everything.

Countless swords pierced straight through that thin body.

The intertwined cold light forced him to almost collapse, blood oozes out in large swaths, and the scene of staining his clothes almost shatters his eyeballs.

The man couldn't resist after all, surrounded by many people, his messy white hair danced wildly in the wind, with a smile on his face and compassion in his eyes, he threw the long sword in his backhand and closed his eyes.

At that moment, he was calm and compassionate.

And the person who thrust the sword into his left chest, the moment he raised his head and met his gaze, was defeated after all, and fled here staggeringly without even a sword.

Li Mei will never forget that face in his life.

Back then, Ember deliberately lost to him in the competition.

Now, he stabbed the long sword into Ember's chest with his own hands.

Whether it is to do justice for the heavens, or to destroy relatives for righteousness, they are all said to the world.

And the only truth is that time passes by.

Back then, the high-spirited young man was also weather-beaten, so what is eternity.

It took all his strength to crawl out from the pile of corpses, his internal organs were churning.External injuries and internal injuries are too numerous to count. If it wasn't for hanging on with a wave of faith, this person would have died completely.

He knew he couldn't survive.

But he can't die now.

He wanted to look at Ember again.

Just one last look.

Be sure to look at him again before you die, so that you can remember his appearance, and you will recognize him at a glance in the next life.

All he could see were shattered corpses. He struggled to crawl on the ground, panting, examining every corpse with his last bit of strength.

The blood that hadn't dried up left a shocking trace on the ground.

His fingers were already worn out, the excruciating pain stimulated his nerves, and he breathed urgently.

Just when he thought he was going to die halfway, he finally found the person he most wanted to see.

Or it can no longer be called a human being, but should be called a corpse.

he died.

Lying on the blood-soaked ground, there is not a single intact part of the body, blood and flesh, countless wounds, and in some places, even bones are clearly visible.

Her long hair was stuck in the mud mixed with blood, her clothes were torn, her face was covered in blood, and she couldn't see her true face clearly.

That high-ranking person, why did he become like this——

Li Mei felt for his pulse with trembling hands, but only felt a biting cold.

Only now did he really believe that Ember was dead.

It's not that he didn't think about the ending, but he never thought that Ember would leave in this manner.

Extremely miserable, extremely embarrassed.

"ember……"

His lips trembled, and he silently called out the word "Na". He twisted his body, stretched out his hand to caress his face, and hot tears poured out.

Could it be that this is God's retribution for this person?

Because he betrayed his teacher, killed countless people, trampled on the dead bones of thousands of people, and was hated by the world. Does it mean that he committed a heinous crime and should be punished like this?

But who ever asked, why did he become like this!

Why, he bears the extreme pain in the world, but still has to endure the extreme blame in the world?

why!

When the footsteps sounded in her ears, Li Mei almost lost consciousness.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and the boy's distorted and deformed face came into view.

Li Mei couldn't tell what he was talking about.

The next moment, he passed out completely.

After a long time at night, Chu Jian rubbed his temples, put down his pen, and was about to get up, pack up and go to sleep.

And at this moment, there was a violent knock on the door.

The sound was deafening in the silence of the night.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, and strode over to open the door with a "tsk".If it is as expected, you should still see a doctor.After all, in the six months since I moved here, almost every night someone knocked on the door was to see a doctor.

If it wasn't for growing herbs here, he would like to live in another place.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. As a doctor, he naturally has the heart to save people, but those minor disasters and troubles always disturb him in the middle of the night, which makes him very annoying.

Thinking, he reluctantly opened the door.

Outside the door, stood a young man with red eyes.He carried one on his back and held one in his arms.All three were covered in blood.

Seeing this posture, Chu Jian's drowsiness subsided immediately.

"Genius doctor... Please save them!"

The boy opened his mouth for a long time before uttering such a complete sentence, and his voice was completely hoarse.

Chu Jian hurriedly took a step back and called him in, motioning for him to put him on the couch beside him.

While still thinking, why does this boy look familiar?

Before he could remember, the boy knelt down in front of him with a plop.

Chu Jian saw this kind of scene a lot, so he didn't panic too much, he just stretched out his hand to help him up immediately.

"Look at it first."

As he spoke, he strode to the couch, put his hand on Ember's wrist, frowned, and put another hand on Li Meidao's wrist.

"The one here is already dead, and the other one is still alive and can be saved."

His eyes fell on the corpse's face inadvertently, and he froze suddenly.

He opened his eyes wide, stared at that face for a long time in disbelief, and directly wiped the blood on that face with his sleeve.

then.

Face full of shock.

"Why is he?!"

Is it him?

ember?

He actually died?

died!

He suddenly remembered that that young man had met once in the Devil's Cult.

What the hell is going on?

Nineteen clenched his fists and stood behind him with his head down, tears falling drop by drop on the ground.

Anyone would know that that person had completely died.

But he didn't want to believe it.

In his impression, that person has always been omnipotent like a god, how could he die so easily!

But maybe even that person knew what the outcome would be, so he told him to take advantage of the chaos and escape before the chaos started.Only when he is gone, will the Devil's Cult be completely wiped out, and there will be hope of a comeback.

The price was his own life.

He has been wrestling with those people for so long, just to buy him time, so that he can go further and safer...

But he, after all, ran back uncontrollably.

But it was too late.

Everything is over.

Thinking of this, his knees gave way, and he collapsed on the ground, crying out in a broken state.

Chu Jian's face gradually darkened.

Looking at the young man's appearance, he knew that there was nothing he could ask. He took a deep breath and tried his best not to look at Ember, but instead set his eyes on Li Mei.

This person is still alive.

The author has something to say:

This chapter was written with too much effort, so I posted it a little late...

This is also the last volume...
