Chapter 154 Asura in the Snow
At the bottom of the Valley of Broken Souls, the wind and snow continue.
But at this moment, not a single snowflake dared to drift into the center of that hellish battlefield.
The Northern Rong soldiers who arrived later were all ashen-faced, holding curved swords, but they only dared to stand a few dozen feet away.
At their feet lay the mangled corpses of their comrades; that small mountain of flesh and blood became a nightmare that would never fade from their hearts.
No one dared to move, not even dared to breathe loudly.
Because the man standing in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood was truly terrifying.
Pei Yunjing stood alone in the middle of the snow.
With him as the center, a vacuum zone was formed within a radius of three zhang.
That was the area around his sword, and also a forbidden zone for living beings.
The fire poison and violent internal energy within his body had reached their peak, making him resemble an active volcano in the process of eruption.
"Sizzle—sizzle—"
The heavy snowflakes falling from the sky were instantly vaporized by the terrifyingly high temperature of his protective inner energy the moment they approached his body.
White mist rose from his body, swirling around him and making his blood-stained figure appear hazy and eerie.
From a distance, he didn't look like a human.
It resembled a hellish Asura bathing in a pool of blood, its body emanating destructive white smoke.
"Your Highness..."
Not far away, Han Zheng clutched his chest wound, struggling to get up, but fell down helplessly.
He and the few remaining black-armored guards, their faces streaked with tears, watched in despair as their commander slowly burned away his life.
They wanted to stop him, to wake him up.
But that sword barrier was too strong; whoever went in would die.
"kill!"
Pei Yunjing suddenly let out a hoarse roar.
There was clearly no living enemy around, and there wasn't even a fly within a three-zhang radius.
But he still didn't stop.
He turned around abruptly, and with the "Delusion-Slaying" sword in his hand, he slashed fiercely at the empty void!
"boom!"
The sword energy carved a deep furrow in the snow.
"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"
He waved his arms at the air, his eyes unfocused and crazed, as if countless unseen demons were demanding his life and tearing at his flesh in his world.
"Don't come any closer...don't touch me..."
He staggered backward, then charged forward again, as if fighting an invisible behemoth.
He is destroying himself.
He was burning out the last bit of his life force in this crazy way.
If he is not stopped, he will die of exhaustion within half a quarter of an hour.
Or... he might completely degenerate into a ruthless monster who only knows how to kill and has no regard for family.
In the corner.
Tang Li leaned against the cold rock wall and struggled to stand up straight.
She raised her hand and fiercely wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve. The aftershocks of Pei Yunjing's sword strike had injured her internal organs, and every breath she took had a metallic taste.
But her gaze never left that crazed figure.
At a time when everyone avoided him like the plague, at a time when everyone treated him like a monster.
Only the pear tree saw it.
She saw his trembling soul beneath that demonic exterior. She understood the helplessness and weeping hidden in his seemingly fierce roars.
He was calling for help.
That little boy, abandoned by the whole world, that child imprisoned in the burning cold palace, is crying out in despair—
Someone save me! Someone take me home!
"Pei Yunjing..."
Tang Li took a deep breath of the air mixed with ice and snow, and the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a gentle yet resolute look.
She let go of the rock face.
She didn't take any weapons, nor did she attempt to summon anything using animal language. She simply straightened her disheveled clothes, then strode towards the deadly sword-wielding ambush.
Since you are an Asura, then I will go down to hell to find you.
Since the whole world is afraid of you, then I will... hold you tight.
