moonlit night

The Tongtian Step extends from the Tongtian Tower, with nearly ten thousand levels, all the way up, from the ground to the clouds, and it will end at an unknown time.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you will see a mass of darkness on the Tongtian Steps, full of elite troops composed of ghosts and demons.There was raging fire in front, cold ice behind, and from time to time there was a strong wind sweeping across the area from top to bottom. The road was only halfway, and six or seven out of ten of the elite troops had already gone.

Where is Tongtian Road?

It is clearly the Huangquan Road leading to Hades.

Jun Changye walks at the forefront of the team, stepping on the highest step, no matter what catastrophe comes, he always bears the brunt.He is like a towering banner, silent and tenacious, as if as long as he doesn't fall down and walks on this road to hell, there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, in the last third of the time, there were still less than ten demon soldiers left behind Jun Changye.

They fell down in batches, and died in batches. Some fell from the steps and were smashed to pieces, and some were weathered into mummies on the spot, and then turned into dust.Some were burned to death, some were frozen to death, and in the end, Jun Changye was numb.It was as if his legs were not his own, as if they were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't lift them up, only the soreness from every step he took up reminded him that he was still living in this purgatory.

With Jun Changye's current chaotic mind, there is only enough to think about one thing.

When will your deadline come.

So much so that when a very clear bird song came from his ear, Jun Changye wondered if he was hallucinating.

However, that is not an illusion.

What rang in my ears one after another was not simply birdsong.

It was the voice of Fengming.

Leng Beixiao turned into his original form and was flying beside him.The head is still that of an owl, but the tail is colorful and unparalleled. It is a real phoenix tail.Not to mention how funny that look was, but Jun Changye couldn't laugh, he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to hook his lips.

"What are you doing here?" Jun Changye reluctantly licked his chapped lips, "I'm going to the Heavenly Palace this time... I don't plan to bring you Yaozu to play with me."

"Monsters don't separate families." The King of Demons ignored his sarcastic remarks, and flapped his wings that were gradually approaching the phoenix, "Come up, this king will give you a ride."

Jun Changye paused, leaned on the ground with a knife, and turned to look at him with difficulty: "...No need."

"Your face is pale, so don't talk big." Leng Beixiao didn't bother to play Tai Chi with him, so he simply spread everything out: "This king knows, you are afraid that this king will get involved, and you are afraid that this king will not finish it all." Human favor. But even if this king doesn't get involved today, do you think that group of gods who claim to act on behalf of the heavens will let the demon clan go? Mozun, don't be naive.

"

"In today's game, if you face Shang Zhanling, you will definitely lose." Jun Changye stepped up to the next level, gritted his teeth, "You come...you are also following me to die."

"Yo, looking for death?" Leng Beixiao snorted, "How fresh, you admit that you are afraid of that general?"

"I'm not afraid," Jun Changye turned his head coldly, "it's just... the truth."

"Knowing that you will die, what's wrong?" Leng Beixiao fluttered his wings again, and followed unhurriedly, "By the way, I've noticed since you came up that the elite demon soldiers behind you are all vicious You have deep resentment towards the human race and the immortal race. You brought them into this mortal situation, because you are afraid that they will mutiny if they know you have negotiated peace with the human race?"

Negotiation.

"Those second-class ones, you asked your female demon to take them to attack Kunwu Mountain, because you want to use Yunya's hand to get rid of them? But compared to the ones who came here, those demon soldiers can be more powerful A bit of hope."

Jun Changye's face turned paler, he didn't agree, and even wanted to shut up Leng Beixiao.Most of the lives of the few remaining demon soldiers were gone, so naturally he couldn't pay attention to listening, and he didn't care whether they knew or not.But if Zhao Ya hears this, in today's chess game, regardless of whether Jun Changye can survive or not, he will lose all games.

Leng Beixiao knew what he was worried about, but he didn't care about it: "It's okay, the more you walk on this sky-reaching step, the less the gods above can hear you,"

Jun Changye's face was ashen, and he didn't have the strength to quarrel with him. After a long while, he replied: "I let you say everything...what else should I say?"

"Then save your energy." Leng Beixiao looked very calm, and flew up to the clouds against the hurricane, and even had time to reminisce about the past, "By the way, this king has thought of something recently. This king and your father , seems to have some origins. When this king was still an egg, he was still in his mother's stomach. By the way, there is also your mother. The Phoenix blood on this king comes from the few drops of Phoenix blood that your mother donated Woolen cloth."

Jun Changye's ears were buzzing, and it was hard for him to explain the cause and effect clearly.

It turned out that with the further collapse of the sacrificial plate, Leng Beixiao had recently awakened the phoenix blood remaining from the ancient times, and by the way, recalled some ancient events.

He remembered that when he was still an egg, he was picked up by the goddess Phoenix in the sky.The goddess firmly believed that this was the last phoenix egg in the world, and insisted on hatching him. After half a month of incubation, there was no movement, and she even dripped a few drops of her own blood on the egg.

Later, seeing that it couldn't be hatched, the goddess also sent this "phoenix egg" to the Dragon Palace as a wedding gift for the prince of the dragon clan out of the desire to present a treasure.

Later, the Dragon Clan was destroyed.Because of the nourishment of the phoenix's blood, that egg survived by luck, and broke out of its shell a thousand years later, becoming the king of all monsters today.

Jun Changye wanted to laugh, but couldn't: "Tell me, why is she just... so idle?"

"How can it be called idle?" Leng Beixiao said in a meaningful tone, "You think, your mother saved Wang Shujun with a bowl of blood so that you could have a chance to meet him. And with these few drops of blood, I owe you She is a great favor. Today, it is time to repay her."

Jun Changye lowered his eyes: "But I'm not her."

"You are her son, and it's the same if I report it to you." Ju Xiao barely stopped beside him, urging: "Come up, recharge your batteries, and meet the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate later, the fight."

Jun Changye finally stopped Shang Deng's pace, turned around and saw that there was no one there.Looking down, there was another mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He has never had a moment where he longed for Yue Qingchen to be by his side so much.

But he dared not, fearing that he would lose him forever.

Being so worried about gains and losses and being weak, I will only push the master further and further away.

Jun Changye asked one last time: "If something happens to you today, then Mr. Hengwu...you will never see him again. Demon King, won't you regret it?"

Leng Beixiao flapped his wings and said firmly, "Even if Heng Wu is here today, he would still want me to do this, believe it or not?"

So Jun Changye stopped talking.He nodded, exhausted his last bit of strength, and jumped onto the giant owl's broad back.

It turns out that the feeling of walking side by side with someone is really better than fighting alone.

When Zhaoya pushed Yue Qingchen to the Nantian Gate, he encountered a hundred-foot-high huge wave rushing towards him.

The black dragon transformed by Jun Changye flipped and tossed in the waves, and the giant bird with phoenix wings spread its wings and roared back and forth.The direction of the gang wind was reversed, and all the sea waves summoned by the black dragon were poured into the Nantian Gate.

The golden armors guarding the gate were thrown into a dizzy state one by one, and some of them were swept in by the waterspout and could no longer get up.However, there are still more heavenly soldiers pouring out from the Nantian Gate.

Zhan Ling went to the Mortal Realm earlier, and returned to the Heavenly Palace after arranging everything.Now that Jun Changye really attacked, he didn't care even if it drew the sea to the sky, and just watched coldly outside the Nantian Gate.

Only seeing Zhaoya approaching, the peace between Zhanling's brows was broken.He gave a few words to his generals and greeted them.

"Dijun, Tianmen is dangerous, please back away." The general in golden crown and armor was soaked all over, and opened a purple bamboo umbrella to cover Dijun's head, blocking all the wind and rain from the outside world, "Please rest assured and leave it to Ling to deal with it."

Zhao Ya waved his hand at him, and Zhan Ling handed the umbrella to the side of Jin Jia to support it, and retreated to defend his position wisely.Zhao Ya didn't retreat, instead of retreating, he took a few steps closer, leaning over to Yue Qingchen's ear.

"The four seas are connected to the sky, the dragons fly and the phoenix sings, but it's a spectacle that hasn't been seen in thousands of years. They really brought a good show." Zhaoya's words were filled with admiration, "Does the god want to come closer and have a look? "

Since leaving Taishi Palace, Yue Qingchen has always been very indifferent, it was because he tried his best to restrain himself, and refused to show any concern for Jun Changye's safety.Yue Qingchen knew that if he allowed his feelings to be seen clearly by Zhao Ya, both he and Jun Changye would be doomed today.

What's more, Jun Changye's behavior and words before he left really chilled him.

In fact, if there is no such thing as the past in the mirror of the third generation, Jun Changye said and did that, based on their tacit understanding of getting along day and night, Yue Qingchen would understand that it was all for Zhaoya to see.

But after seeing the mirror of the third generation, it is different.

Ten thousand years ago, Li Yuan and Lin'an had an unresolved knot after all.

Back then in the seabed tomb, Zhaoya gave San Shijing a good time, but in fact, he used this mirror to play a game of sowing discord.

All the emperors of the fairy clan are really good at chess.

Since Zhaoya opened his mouth, Yue Qingchen pondered for a moment, and then replied with one word: "Okay."

He thought that what Zhaoya said was closer, and he meant to go to Nantianmen.Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya turned a blind eye to the waves higher than Tianmen, pushed him to the front of Nantianmen, and faced the life-and-death struggle on the Tongtian steps.

Zhan Ling personally descended the steps of the sky, holding the sky ax in each hand, chopping left and right, and was able to break through the waves and divide the sea, forcing the black dragon hiding in it to come out.Fenghuang came to help, but bumped into Zhanling and turned around with an axe, hitting the forehead of Fenghuang's eyes.The phoenix was in pain, spinning like crazy in the air, screaming a few times, was flicked by the black dragon, and shot down Jiutian.

The black dragon jumped up from the waves, facing the blood-stained ax in Shang Zhanling's hand.

Yue Qingchen watched, watched, almost forgot to breathe.He saw the black dragon being turned over and straddled by the god general, and the dragon's horns were cut off one after another; In front of Nantianmen.

thrown at his feet.

When the black dragon finally regained its human form, blood was pouring out of its seven orifices.Jun Changye fell sideways, his head resting on his arms, his face pressed against the ground, his black hair at the temples was drenched in sea water, and he was gradually sucking in air but not getting out.

He raised his head from the bloody water with difficulty, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know where to look.Yue Qingchen jumped down from the sedan chair, staggered and knelt down on the ground, holding the young man's head in his arms, his eyes turned black for a while.In a trance, I felt that the opponent's fingers hooked somewhere around the waist, and something fell to the ground with a "bang".

It was the sapphire tablet that Jun Changye tied around his waist with his own hands when he was in the Demon Palace.

Yue Qingchen was going to pick it up, but a pair of boots was one step ahead of him, stepped on the jade tablet, and rubbed it hard a few times.He watched helplessly as it shattered into several pieces, revealing what had been hidden inside for a long time, two tangled strands of black hair.

Knots and hair become one heart, and there is no doubt about love and affection.

"What a ridiculous oath." Zhao Ya sighed sarcastically, with a tone of pity, "In this world, there are a few couples who are not in harmony with each other, but who can truly be in love with each other?"

The body in his arms gradually became cold and lifeless, Yue Qingchen desperately rubbed Jun Changye's face, covered his chest, trying to warm him up again, but to no avail.

"This is the person you love?" Someone in the void seemed to be saying, "Vulnerable."

Is it an illusion?

It was as if the sun had set, and all of a sudden, the world was plunged into complete darkness.

That's not an illusion.The fairy officials of Tiangong reacted very quickly, as if they had expected it, they quickly brought thousands of luminous pearls over, illuminating the inside and outside of Tianmen as bright as day.

Just now it was difficult to see in the dark, and when the surroundings were turned on again, all the golden armors reacted. The man in white drew out his sword just now, and almost put it on the emperor's neck. Fortunately, the first seat reacted quickly and grabbed it in time. Stay, it didn't cause a catastrophe.

"Press him."

Zhao Ya leaned over, took out a small bottle from the arms of the long-dead demon in black, shook it, uncorked the bottle, and walked in front of Yue Qingchen.The latter couldn't help panting heavily, and was forced to lower his head by Zhan Ling holding his neck tightly, but he still didn't give up struggling, obviously wanting to pull the immortal emperor in front of him to be buried with Jun Changye.

Zhao Ya patted his face, her tone was soft as if coaxing a child.

"Drink it down and get some sleep. Wake up, and I will give you the most grand conferring ceremony."
