Chapter 150 The Last String Snaps

Chapter 150 The Last String Snaps

It was late at night, around 3 AM.

This is the darkest and coldest moment before dawn.

The war drums at the entrance of Broken Soul Valley did not stop; instead, they became more rapid and violent.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The dense drumbeats formed a line, like a pair of invisible giant hands, frantically tearing at Pei Yunjing's nerves, which were already stretched to their limit.

Tuoba Xiao is a very patient hunter.

He knew that the prey inside was at its last gasp. What he needed to do now was to add the final straw and completely break the man's will.

Inside the cave.

Pei Yunjing knelt on the ground, his hands still gripping the ground tightly, his fingernails all broken, and blood staining the frozen soil red.

His world has completely collapsed.

Under the dual ravages of toxic fumes and sound waves, the boundary between reality and illusion vanishes.

He could neither see the rock face nor the snowfield.

He saw himself in a waist-deep sea of ​​blood. All around him were raging fires, and countless charred hands reached out from the blood, grabbing his ankles and trying to drag him into hell.

"Yun Jing... save me..."

"Why didn't you save Mother...why..."

The drumbeats in my ears disappeared.

Instead, he was haunted by a nightmare buried deep in his memory, a nightmare that haunted him every night.

The mother's shrill screams before her death, the palace servants' desperate cries, and the splattering sounds of swords piercing bodies.

All the voices are screaming, all the shadows are demanding lives.

"Get out of my way... I'm not afraid of you..."

Pei Yunjing trembled all over, biting his lips until they were raw, as he fought against those non-existent vengeful ghosts.

"Your Highness... Pei Yunjing..."

Just then, a warm, soft hand, covered with a damp handkerchief, gently touched his burning forehead.

Those are crabapple trees.

Seeing Pei Yunjing's pained expression, her heart ached, and all she wanted to do was wipe away the cold sweat and blood from his face.

However, in Pei Yunjing's completely distorted vision...

The woman who approached me was no longer the bright and beautiful Tang Li.

Her face began to melt and stretch, turning into a hideous, fanged, and blood-sucking demonic face!

The hand she reached out was no longer a gentle caress, but a demonic claw with sharp claws, trying to rip out his heart!

Kill her!

Kill this demon! Or you will die!

In my mind, a frantic voice was screaming.

That string called "reason" finally—

With a loud "bang," it broke completely.

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!!!"

Pei Yunjing suddenly let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

He suddenly raised his hand, gathered all the remaining internal energy in his body, and swung it fiercely at the "evil spirit"!

"Bang!"

Tang Li never expected him to make a sudden move. She was thrown out like a rag doll and crashed heavily onto the snow more than two zhang away.

"Cough cough..."

She clutched her chest, nearly fainting from the pain.

Before she could even get up...

"Clang—"

A clear yet murderous dragon roar rang out.

Pei Yunjing staggered to his feet.

The "Delusion-Slaying" sword in his hand was humming and vibrating violently because it was infused with violent internal energy.

By the faint light of the snow at the cave entrance, Tang Li could see his eyes clearly.

In that instant, she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

What eyes they were!

The original whites of the eyes have completely disappeared, and the pupils have expanded infinitely, filling the entire eye socket.

Pure black—a black abyss devoid of light and humanity, filled only with endless slaughter and destruction.

He looked at her as if she were a mortal enemy who had to be killed.

"Pei... Pei Yunjing?"

Tang Li's voice was trembling. She wanted to back away, but behind her was a cold rock wall.

Pei Yunjing didn't speak. He walked slowly and heavily toward the pear tree on the ground.

With each step he took, the murderous aura emanating from him intensified.

He walked up to her, looking down at her, and in his hallucination, this "evil spirit" was coming to take his life.

"kill."

He parted his thin lips slightly and uttered a cold word.

Then, under Tang Li's horrified gaze...

The man who once said "hide behind me," the man who once swore to protect her for life.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand, pointing it at the person he loved most, the woman he would protect even at the cost of his life.

It slashed down hard and mercilessly!
