Early morning, Qingyun Mountain.
The mountains are covered with heavy rocks and shrouded in clouds and mist. On the top of the tall Qingyun Mountain, gusts of breeze blew away the clouds, revealing the slowly rising red sun in the distance.
Qingyun Mountain is only more than a thousand meters above sea level, but the terrain is extremely complex. The steep slopes are almost vertical, and cliffs and caves can be seen everywhere. The cliff on the south side drops vertically for thousands of meters, and below it is the river flowing eastward. If you lose your footing and fall, there is no chance of survival. Therefore, this cliff is also called "The Broken Soul Cliff" by the locals.
Due to its steep terrain, few people would risk their lives going up the mountain. However, at this time, on the top of the mountain covered with clouds, two figures were standing quietly.
One of them is a young man wearing black clothes. No, if you look closely, it looks like a girl? ——Looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with some yellow and messy short black hair blowing in the wind. It's not common to wear pure black clothes, but it doesn't look out of place on this person.
——Maybe it’s because this person is as inconspicuous as black.
The girl who looked like a teenager had an average appearance, but there was a narrow dark red scar on the left cheek, which looked a bit dazzling on her fair skin.
"Haha, I'm so happy to meet people with similar interests in a place like this." The young man holding a camera and carrying a travel bag smiled at the girl, "I'm leaving now! I hope we can meet again in the future!"
Liang Xiaoye waved and watched the young man with a hearty smile get on the simple zipline to another mountain peak.
So, I’m not here to take pictures…
"Goodbye! Also, your makeup is really cool!"
The young man staggered away, and the loud voice came along with the mountain wind.
And I didn’t wear makeup... How could someone deliberately draw a scar on their face?
...No, it doesn’t seem like there is none?
And it’s really cool…
Feeling that there were too many things to talk about, Liang Xiaoye had no choice but to shake her head.
This seemingly inexperienced young photographer climbed to the top panting under the slightly bright sky in the early morning, and was startled when he saw Liang Xiaoye. Then, there was an overly enthusiastic greeting and self-introduction - naturally, Liang Xiaoye was also regarded as a photography enthusiast who came to take pictures of the sunrise scenery.
It was obvious that the girl did not have any photography equipment with her.
Fortunately, he left in time.
Liang Xiaoye turned sideways slightly, Gu Jing Wubo's black eyes looked behind him.
The flow of air has changed.
Closing his eyes gently, Liang Xiaoye carefully experienced the changes in the wind. For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to detect the enemy's situation through airflow, but Liang Xiaoye is different.
This group of people who possess the power of nature and can control wind, fire, thunder and lightning have never been able to measure it at the level of ordinary people - even from a thousand meters away, Liang Xiaoye can detect each other's movements based on subtle changes in the air flow. trend.
Distance 326 meters, number of people 78. According to the forecast speed, we will reach the top of the mountain in about eight minutes.
Liang Xiaoye silently completed a series of calculations in his heart.
As expected.
The girl opened her eyes and took out an object that was faintly glowing from her pocket.
It was a small and exquisite ring, with strange and simple symbols and patterns carved on its surface. Although complex, it does not appear chaotic. All patterns have a sense of order and harmony.
The ring in Liang Xiaoye's hand seemed to be only half a ring.
The name of this half ring is the Ring of Living Things. Rumor has it that a complete Ring of Life can give its user godlike power, so this ring has been pursued by various forces for many years. Although the Ring of Life is currently controlled by "Beidou", the force that controls the power of nature where Liang Xiaoye is located, this is only temporary.
Four years ago, someone entrusted half of this ring to Liang Xiaoye. From then on, "Tianxuan Star", one of the Seven Stars of Beidou, took on the task of guarding the ring.
Carefully holding the Ring of Life in his left hand, he turned over his right hand and took out a small translucent gray box. Liang Xiaoye put the ring into the box, and the hazy golden light was gradually obscured.
The Ring of Life exudes a special kind of fluctuation all the time. In addition to Liang Xiaoye, many forces hiding in the dark can capture this fluctuation and lock the position. For several years, they have been coveting the Ring of Living Beings and constantly hunting down those who hold the Rings of Living Beings.
And this translucent gray box is the only tool that can temporarily eliminate this fluctuation - temporarily, that is to say, the gray box cannot store the Ring of Life indefinitely. After a certain period of time, the Ring of Life must be taken out, otherwise the gray box may break.
Even so, the imperfect function of the gray box has saved Liang Xiaoye's life countless times in a sense. If the fluctuations of the Ring of Life were not as unpredictable as they are now, Liang Xiaoye might have lost his life four years ago when his strength was still low.
Under the unwavering gaze of the dark eyes, figures appeared silently on the edge of the cliff. There were dozens of people coming, all dressed in gray clothes, with pale masks covering their faces. On the forehead of the mask, there is a strange bat pattern carved on it.
Liang Xiaoye already has a certain understanding of this organization that has been chasing after it for four years. The name of this gang is still unknown, but some of them are already very familiar - such as the man standing in front of dozens of people with the darkest bat pattern on his forehead, the sharpshooter Hawkeye.
The color of the bat pattern is a symbol of strength. Liang Xiaoye knows this very well, not to mention that he and Hawkeye are already old enemies. The moment he saw this group of people appear, Liang Xiaoye put his right hand on his waist without hesitation.
Originally, there was nothing hanging on Liang Xiaoye's waist, but when his fingers reached out, a cold light suddenly appeared.
It was a light and slender sword. The scabbard was engraved with soft feather-shaped patterns, and the entire body was silvery white. The long sword was unsheathed, cold light circulated, and the dazzling silver brought out a sharp whistle.
Without any pause, when Liang Xiaoye came into view, Hawkeye took out a dark pistol from his arms like lightning.
Roar, fire. The life-threatening bullets flew towards the girl in black.
Even in the face of fatal bullets, Liang Xiaoye's expression remained unchanged. At the same time as Hawkeye pulled the trigger, Liang Xiaoye had already taken a step to the right, and the whizzing bullets only hit a few strands of hair.
The next moment, a low thunder suddenly resounded on the top of Qingyun Mountain. The bright silver-white electric light shone under his feet, and his figure became a little blurry.
Squinting his eyes lightly, Liang Xiaoye's figure instantly disappeared in the flash of lightning. The silver blade carrying the cold wind drew an arc of death. The men in black opened fire one after another. However, even Hawkeye's men, who were sharpshooters, were mostly accurate in their shooting skills, and the bullets they fired hit the empty space without exception.
When the girl's figure appeared again, three people had already fallen down helplessly. The cold blade was so sharp that it didn't even have time to shed a drop of blood.
Hawkeye frowned.
Hawkeye will never forget this move that has put him and his team in danger countless times - Thunder Flash, which controls the power of thunder and lightning to condense under the feet, and uses the explosive power of thunder to move at super high speeds. Known as the "Silver Lightning", the Beidou Tianxuan Star Lord relied on the speed beyond the limit brought by the thunder and lightning to maneuver among tens of millions of enemy troops as if he were strolling in a courtyard.
The bright electric light lit up again, avoiding the flying bullets. The men in black quickly formed an unbreakable formation, and the intensive firepower made it difficult for Liang Xiaoye to get close for a while.
If you look closely, you will see that a black mist-like substance adheres to the surface of each bullet fired - this is the unique attack method of this organization. Just like Liang Xiaoye can control wind and thunder, they are good at controlling the power of darkness, making ordinary bullets highly corrosive, and even Liang Xiaoye will not attack them easily.
Hawkeye's face was cold, and he threw out a few black light balls from time to time. Liang Xiaoye knew that light balls filled with dark energy were far more terrifying than bullets, so he used lightning to avoid them cautiously. When the difference in numbers is so huge, it is not a wise idea to face the enemy head-on.
At Hawkeye's feet, a series of obscure gray-black lights extended out, combining with the halo of light emerging from the feet of others. The black mist gradually gathered towards the center.
The light wind spreads all around, and the place where the air flows is Liang Xiaoye's domain. According to the changes in the air flow, every space within a radius of 100 meters is clearly reflected in his mind. However, the next second, the message conveyed by the wind made Liang Xiaoye's pupils shrink.
Behind him, on the cliff not far away, is the zipline leading to another mountain. At this time, a bullet with black mist attached was shooting towards the zipline impartially.
It takes at least twenty minutes to get to the mountain opposite the mountain access road, and the young photographer just left here ten minutes ago and must still be on the cable car under the zip line. Bullets that can corrode even mountains can easily penetrate a zipline. There is no doubt about what will happen next - the rope will break and people will die.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Liang Xiaoye moved without any hesitation. Silver-white electric light bloomed, and the figure of the girl in black flashed on the edge of the cliff.
Micro cyclones with electric arcs wrapped around the blade, blocking the incoming bullets. Bullets with black mist collided with the whirlwind, sparks flying.
Although the dark energy was powerful, it failed to break through Liang Xiaoye's defense. However, this unexpected bullet caused the silver lightning, which had never been able to capture its whereabouts on the battlefield, to stop in a conspicuous position for two seconds. In a life-and-death battle, such a serious mistake would undoubtedly be fatal.
After Liang Xiaoye cut off the bullet with the power of darkness, the light and shadow of a huge black bat appeared in the sky.
Through a special way of energy flow, Hawkeye gathered the energy transmitted by his subordinates and launched this powerful attack with impeccable timing.
Bat attack, Hawkeye's most powerful killing move. Its power lies not only in its power like a heavy artillery shell, but also in its special nature - once it is launched, it will track the target forever, and it cannot escape its lock no matter how fast it goes.
With the speed of silver lightning, it is easy to interrupt Hawkeye before he makes a move. However, those two fatal seconds made Liang Xiaoye miss the only opportunity. When his eyes met the bat's scarlet eyes, he had no choice but to make a desperate move.
The silver blade shines brightly, and the power of wind and thunder pours into it with decisive force. On the handle of the knife, the feather-shaped pattern quietly lit up, as if it were a living creature. The entire blade was humming and vibrating slightly, resonating with Liang Xiaoye's will.
Swing the knife and chop. The simple and unpretentious movement aroused the power of heaven and earth, and the cold sword light brought up a silver-white rainbow that penetrated the sun.
The silver rainbow light collided with the light and shadow of the bat, and the strong shock wave pushed Liang Xiaoye all the way to the edge of the cliff. One step further would lead to the abyss. However, this desperate counterattack did work - the bright rainbow and the bat's light and shadow dissipated in the air.
puff.
A soft sound.
The girl's dark eyes widened slightly. Looking down, what he saw was the pierced chest and splattered blood.
In the light and shadow of the bat attack...are there bullets hidden?
In order to resist the powerful power of the bat attack, Liang Xiaoye had to use all his strength. He could no longer maintain the wind domain, so he was unaware of the bullets that deliberately concealed the sound of the wind. The flaw revealed in order to save the young man with whom he had a crush, pushed him ruthlessly into the abyss of death.
The impact of the bullet caused the girl's body to fly away like a broken autumn leaf, falling downwards. And below, there are life-threatening cliffs and rushing water. In the field of vision, Eagle Eye's frosty and murderous face flashed past, followed by the rapidly rising rocks and the dazzlingly bright sky.
This was Tianxuan Xingjun's first defeat and also his last. In a life-and-death struggle, there is only one outcome for failure, death.
At the moment when his life ended, Liang Xiaoye's heart was still as calm as ever. The consciousness of death is something that has been there since the first time I picked up a knife.
The bullet full of dark energy also severely damaged Liang Xiaoye's heart while penetrating his chest. Even if there weren't rushing water below, death was a foregone conclusion.
As for what she should do when she is about to die - she has rehearsed it countless times.
Moving his left hand with difficulty, Liang Xiaoye's last strength turned into a wisp of breeze. The gray box in his hand flew away in the wind and disappeared into a small cave between the rocks. The surface of the cave is covered with thorns and cannot be easily discovered.
The Ring of Life is an important item, and you must not let it disappear with you. When the box was released, Liang Xiaoye pressed a button on the box, and an invisible wave spread far into the distance.
In this way, he can receive the final position of the Ring of Life.
After doing all this, the girl raised her lips with satisfaction, and tried hard to hold the cold long knife with her weak right hand.
Sorry, Lan Yu, I can no longer fight alongside you.
As if sensing his master's thoughts, Changdao Lanyu made a slight buzzing sound. There is a hint of sadness and determination in the cry.
Falling rapidly in the cold air, the sky in Liang Xiaoye's field of vision became darker and darker.
Sorry, Master, I couldn't complete your instructions.
What a shame...I don't want to die yet. I really want to see you again.
However, there is nothing we can do about it. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to continue fighting for you.
goodbye.
The slender body of the girl in black fell into the cold river water, and the rushing water ravaged the life that was about to pass away.
However, at the last second of his life, Liang Xiaoye opened his eyes wide and lost focus.
It was a light that people will never forget.
The magnificent glazed color is full of vitality and vitality, and the entire river is reflected in the cold blue color of the cold pool. And in the center of the light, there was a small figure.
Pink body, kitten-like shape, long and dexterous tail.
The next moment, a dazzling light bloomed.
The black eyes closed, and the girl's soul gradually sank into darkness.
"Beidou Tianxuan Star Lord" Liang Xiaoye disappeared on the battlefield of Qingyun Mountain.
In the distance, the young man with long black hair seemed to notice something. He turned back suddenly in disbelief, his eyes looking toward the horizon filled with sadness.
Vaguely, a pink hazy shadow rushed out of the light blue river water and flew towards the sky.
The end of life can also be a new beginning.
