Gu Ruoyun’s features suddenly sank and her bleak eyes flashed with a tempestuous storm. She spat, “Cang Ming, while we do have a deep enmity between us, you should not involve the innocent! If even a single hair on the Dongfang family’s head was hurt, I will make you pay the greatest price ten times over!”
Cang Ming laughed disdainfully. “You want to make me pay? Sure, I’d love to see how you’re going to do that!”
After he had spoken, his entire body released a sharp aura once again. This aura was like a frosty sword of wind and was so piercing that one would feel immense pain.
“Xiao Ye.” Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and turned her eyes towards Qianbei Ye. There was an unprecedented sense of determination in her gaze. “Go to the West Spirit Mainland now and stop those people from getting near the Dongfang family!”
The Dongfang family were her relatives. She has to protect this family no matter what! The only person who could do this now was Qianbei Ye.
Qianbei Ye was shaken. His brows creased into a deep frown and a hint of worry appeared in his demonic red eyes. “Yun’er, if Zixie and I worked together, we might stand a chance to suppress Cang Ming. If I go, you would be no match for him.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently and shook her head. “Xiao Ye, you seem to forget that Zixie and I have a lifelong contract. With him and I sharing the resistance against the enemy, I believe that it will be possible for us to hold on until you return! Go and come back quickly. I can guarantee that I will stay alive to await your return.”
Qianbei Ye fell silent for a moment before he nodded. “Alright, I won’t let those people hurt the Dongfang family members for your sake. You should also remember the promise you’ve made to me. Otherwise, I will pursue you to the ends of the earth and through heaven and hell.”
After Qianbei Ye had said this, his crimson robes shot towards the sky like a red light and charged into the distance.
“Are you trying to leave?”
Cang Ming scoffed icily and was about to stop Qianbei Ye from leaving when a purple light rose from the ground, blocking Cang Ming like a protective screen.
“What’s this?” Cang Ming was shaken for a moment as a cold and sharp light flashed across his eyes. The cold arrogance in his eyes deepened as he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and Zixie to ask, “What did you just do?”
Zixie seemed somewhat weakened as he forced a smile onto his handsome face. “I’m using myself as the foundation of a formation. I will never rest unless I’m dead!”
Using one’s self as a formation means that this formation could only be broken when either one of them has died. Otherwise, both sides would remain locked in the formation for the rest of their lives.
Cang Ming laughed icily as his eyes filled with murderous intent. “You’re digging your own graves. Since that’s the case, let me grant your wish.”
Boom!
Cang Ming’s entire being turned into a sharp sword and charged towards Zixie.
At this moment, Zixie was no longer as noble and proud as he had once been. His features were extremely pale and it was clear that he had used up most of his power to establish himself as a formation.
“Little girl, I believe that if there’s anyone who can defeat Cang Ming, it’s you. Remember what I’ve told you. If your life is ever in danger, unlock the final door in the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Now, fight him. I can’t help you and you can only rely on yourself in this battle.”
Once he had finished speaking, Zixie crossed his legs and sat down before he slowly closed his eyes.
The price that comes with using one’s self as a formation was great. There was no way for him to aid Gu Ruoyun in this fight, she could only rely on herself now.
