Laughing at Chang'an

The stars and the moon do not exist, only the gray and black rain keeps falling, the cold wind lingers in the ears, and the whole world seems to have become a colorless picture.

Wretchedly supporting the ground with his limbs, Rong Hu didn't know what he was howling, he stared at Wang Zhen who fell not far away in confusion, and moved towards him unconsciously.

...Hey, stop kidding.

He crawled to the side of the motionless Wang Zhen with both hands and feet, and touched the opponent's body with his palms stained with muddy water. His trembling fingers stopped above the pierced hole and could not fall down.The torn armor was splattered with broken flesh and blood. There were two blood holes the size of fists lying across the chest, and the broken internal organs were clearly visible.

Dissonant sobs overflowed from Rong Hu's throat. He tremblingly grabbed Wang Zhen's arm hanging by his side, lowered his head, and wept bitterly.

"Loyalty is commendable, but it's a pity that I followed the wrong person."

The cold words came from the top of his head, Rong Hu was shocked, and suddenly turned his head to look at the person standing behind him.He tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to see the other person's face clearly, it was this person, this white armor, he would never forget it, it was the other person who suddenly appeared and killed Wang Zhen.

"Humph."

Seemingly noticing Rong Hu's eyes full of hatred, the other party let out a cold snort of disdain, leaned over and stretched out his hand to grab Rong Hu's head.Rong Hu instinctively wanted to get out of the way, but his body had no time to move, he could only stare at the seemingly slow hand falling towards his head.

A drop of bloody rain fell on his face.

The figure that appeared in front of him without any warning was like a silent and terrifying volcano, and the suffocating killing intent almost filled the entire space. With the knees resting on the lower abdomen, the whole person flew upwards flatly.

Like a picture that has been slowed down by countless frames, the ink-colored spear made by Yugang cut through the continuous rain curtain, piercing, stabbing, slamming, and slamming, constantly hitting the white-armored man floating in mid-air, Finally, in the same position in the same way, from the chest to the back, ruthlessly penetrated.

Time drifted backwards by a second.

There was a soft cracking sound, followed by countless sounds, and clusters of bursting blood mist bloomed in the air, were crushed by the rainwater falling from the sky, and shattered into blood on the ground.Crackling metal shattering sounds followed, and countless tiny white fragments shattered from midair, splashing muddy water on the ground.

A mass of flesh and blood that couldn't see its original appearance fell back to the ground.

Rong Hu raised his head in a daze, looking at the man standing beside him.It was still the same familiar face, ordinary and ordinary facial features, tiny bloodstains winding out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, like a series of hideous scars, mixed with unmistakable cold murderous intent and extremely cold eyes , making him look very strange.

Yang Xingxing lowered his head and coughed out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs.

He wiped off the blood on his mouth, knelt down beside Wang Zhen, stretched out his hand and forcibly tore apart the opponent's battle armor from the hole in his chest, carefully stimulated the source veins around the opponent's wound with his fingers, bit by bit Input his own source energy... Although it was weak, Wang Zhen's heartbeat did not stop completely, and the source crystal condensed in the heart was still tenaciously maintaining his life.

A hand was stretched out in front of Yang Huxing, and in the flat palm lay a top-notch first-aid agent for the battlefield.

Yang Xingxing raised his head, looked at Huang Sha who stretched out his hand to him, then picked up the injection without hesitation, pulled out the injection port, and inserted it into the artery of Wang Zhen's side carotid.Almost immediately after a tube of first aid was injected, Wang Zhen's chest began to rise and fall naturally, and his breathing resumed.After about a few seconds, his eyelids moved and opened upwards.

He saw Yang Martian.

"Don't talk." Yang Huxing blocked the wound on his chest with his palm, inputting the source energy inward, "Keep your consciousness and send you to the hospital immediately."

Wang Zhen blinked weakly, then smiled slowly.

He shook his head hard.

"...Ximen, someone...responses, the code...to break the willow."

He looked at Yang Huxing, who was a little surprised, and then at Rong Hu, who was kneeling beside him with a tense face, showing a comfortable and relaxed expression, and urged in a weak voice: "... Hurry up."

"it is good."

Yang Xingxing replied like this, but suddenly lowered his head and vomited another mouthful of blood.He wiped the blood with the back of his hand in some embarrassment, and stretched out his hand to touch the top of Wang Zhen's head.

"let's go."

He stood up with Wang Zhen in his arms, and looked at Huang Sha who was standing beside him. The latter sighed and stepped back to open the way.Rong Hu, who had been forgotten in place, stared blankly at Yang Huxing's back, and after a long while, he staggered and got up, trying to follow.

A sharp wind blew past his ears.

Rong Hu's eyes widened in shock, watching the frost-white spear fly past his eyes, piercing straight at the back of Yang Huxing's heart.At that moment, his mind was blank, but his hand was already stretched out, trying in vain to grab the gun.

"Yang..."

Yang Huxing stopped walking as if aware of it.

The rain swirled around his body, formed a white tornado, and shot straight into the sky.This mirage-like scene made Rong Hu lose his ability to speak, and in his sight, the figure of Yang Martian was hidden in the whirlpool, as if he was going to disappear with it.

Wang Ziyun and others who chased Huang Sha and Yang Huxing out of the light blue light curtain also stopped in a daze.

What jingled to the ground was the frost-white spear that bounced back.

The rapidly spinning Yulong stopped without any warning, and suddenly collapsed downwards. Among the countless splashing water drops, Yang Huxing's head was slowly lifted up.

He turned sideways, his eyes swept across the faces of the people behind him one by one, and finally fixed on the half-kneeling figure covered in blood.

"I don't want to kill you." Yang Xingxing said, "It's not impossible to kill you."

Among the people present, some thought he was threatening, while some also admitted in their hearts that he was telling the truth... I am afraid that none of them could really understand why he said this.

However, Rong Hu, who was standing closest, could clearly see the expression on Yang Huxing's face when he said this.

——That is a naked mockery, whether it is to others or to oneself.

After saying this, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, Yang Huxing hugged Wang Zhen and walked away without hesitation.Wang Ziyun and others were slightly taken aback, and were about to chase, but were stopped by Huang Sha raising his arm.

"There's no need to chase."

Facing everyone's questioning and confused eyes, a trace of sadness flashed across Huang Sha's face, and he said in a deep voice.

"The body has not reached the realm of the altar, and he has overused the power of the altar. His body has reached its limit... If you don't want to be dragged to the end, don't chase him."

………………

"...Master."

"Well, what happened?"

"No……"

"Say what you want to say, don't hide it in your heart."

"...Going to Xilu, no...problem?"

Yang Xingxing smiled.

"Have you arranged everything?"

"…Um."

The rain kept hitting the face, flowing from the forehead into the eye sockets, and sliding down the bridge of the nose into the mouth. There was the sound of cars in the distance, and there was a faint noise.Both sides of the road gradually lit up, and one after another street lamps appeared in the sky, shining quietly in the deep rain.

"I came to Chang'an when I was 16 years old. I worked as a beggar, a pickpocket, shined shoes and carried bags for others, and even solicited customers for prostitutes. I did everything."

Yang Xingxing's voice was a little blurry in the rustling rain, and it was hard to hear clearly.

"At that time, I just wanted to be famous, to meet noble people, to learn skills, to become stronger, so that I would no longer be looked down upon by others, and trampled underfoot... the people around me were also the same, desperately trying to climb up."

Rong Hu, who followed silently, also heard these words, and couldn't help raising his head, looking at Yang Huxing. Although he knew that the other party didn't say these words to him, he still had a subtle feeling of being seen through.

", I passed the screening and entered the reserve branch of the Eagles, and then was spotted by the former leader of the Eagles, Wilder, and accepted as a disciple. Others said that I reached the sky in one step, but they were right. Just like you, I also Treating Master Wilde as the closest person, he treated me like his own son, and even married his daughter to me, I was really grateful at that time, for him, he could even sacrifice his life..."

"But then I realized that he didn't really like me so much, but only my potential and loyalty. And when my loyalty was doubted, he would give me up without hesitation. What he needed was A dog who is absolutely loyal and obedient to him, and marrying his daughter to me is also to protect his family's control over the Eagles."

Speaking of this, Yang Xingxing paused, he took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to exhale those unpleasant memories with this breath.

"Look, in the city of Chang'an, dogs are everywhere. If you want to be a human, you have to be a dog first. Power, wealth, status, skills, and resources are all tightly held in the hands of a small group of people." Here... young people like you, who are lucky and talented, will be selected as dogs and will eventually assimilate into one of them. If you are unlucky and poorly talented, you can only become the nourishment of this city and be Squeeze to death."

Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded in agreement.

Yang Martian stopped in his tracks.

"The strong live, the weak die, this is the way of the world."

"But at least, there must be a way to be a human without being a dog."

"I have been looking for this way all my life."

He turned to look at Rong Hu, who didn't expect him to pay attention to him, with a surprised expression on his face.Yang Huxing put down Wang Zhen in his arms and handed it to Rong Hu to support him. Then he raised his hands and touched the tops of the two teenagers.

"My biggest regret is that I failed to pave the way for you. If you want to stay in this city, the next days may be very difficult, you will encounter many difficult choices, and you will have to do something that goes against your heart. There will be all kinds of setbacks and pains that must be faced..."

"I hope that you can all find your own path. No matter what is right or wrong in the eyes of others, don't give up at any time. Regardless of success or failure, this life is not in vain."

Yang Huxing put down his hand and took off the love gun Dingguo on his back.

He stood leaning on his gun and raised his head.

I closed my eyes.

When the rain fell, it took his body and turned it into scattered fines, and truly merged with the world, never to exist again.

——Yang Martian, dead.
