Chapter 452 Summoning the Phantom
Chapter 452 Summoning the Phantom
Be it Xie Yichen and the others, or the experimental subjects who had just been rescued, they all looked at Ling Guang in horror, and even a large number of them had lost the will to fight.
"It's over, it's over, I'm dead."
Some people were mumbling in a daze, while others were roaring in frustration.
"Why? Why did you give me hope and then make me despair?"
"Ahem..." Xie Yichen spat out the blood in his mouth. He looked at the other four people and asked, "Do you... have any ideas?"
"Ha!" Yue Bai laughed. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and then looked at Ling Guang fearlessly, saying with a fearless attitude: "What else can I think of? Of course, I will fight to the death!"
As he finished speaking, Xie Yichen, Qi Runyu, Yang Youli, and Tang Jinan all stood up. They all wore the same smile and said with a fierce fighting spirit, "Then let's fight!"
The movements of the five people attracted the attention of others. Seeing their fearless appearance, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused.
"Damn it! We're all going to die anyway, so why should I be afraid of anything?"
A demon roared and quickly got up. After the first one, there was a second one. Soon, everyone got up. They thought clearly that since they were all going to die, instead of sitting and waiting to die, they might as well fight to the death and put a perfect end to their lives.
Everyone was ready to die, and Xie Yichen and others also wanted to die in battle. But what they didn't know was that Qi Runyu quietly held a token in his hand, and this token was exactly what a ghost king had left to him.
After witnessing Ling Guang's strength, Qi Runyu thought of Yousha. He thought that if anyone could save them at this moment, it would probably be the Lord Ghost King.
However, in order to summon the Ghost King, one must sacrifice one's soul, that is, Qi Runyu must sacrifice his life.
Qi Runyu raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yichen and others, his eyes were reluctant but without hesitation, because no matter whether it was Xie Yichen, Tang Jinan and Yang Youli who grew up with him, or Yue Bai whom he met later, they were all his close friends.
If Qi Runyu could save them all by sacrificing himself, he would be willing to do so.
So, when everyone attacked Ling Guang, Qi Runyu took out the Ghost King token. He raised his hand, wiped a little blood from the corner of his mouth, smeared it on the token, and then slowly said: "Ghost King Yousha, if you hear my call, please come quickly. I am willing to sacrifice my soul, just ask you to save me."
At the same time, in another world, the underworld.
In the blood sea purgatory, a figure wearing a black cloak and holding a black sickle stood on the blood sea as if it were flat ground, and the evil spirits living in the blood sea all cowered and hid like mice seeing a cat.
"Ah!"
A sneer escaped from Yousha's blood-red mouth. He slowly raised his hand, preparing to catch an evil ghost to eat, but unexpectedly a voice came from the sky and went straight to his sea of consciousness.
[Ghost King Yousha, if you hear my call, please come quickly...]
Yousha was slightly stunned, and a lively figure in purple brocade clothes appeared in his mind.
"Tsk, is the little guy in danger?"
Yousha's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but his actions were very quick. Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared. It can be seen that Qi Runyu held a high position in his heart.
On the other side, on the Shenzhou continent, on a remote island in the Wuwang Sea.
With a "bang", Xie Yichen and others were knocked away again. Ling Guang was like a cat playing with a mouse. He was not in a hurry to kill them, but was destroying their will bit by bit.
He just wanted to see how many people could continue to persevere after failing again and again and being knocked down again and again.
Sure enough, after being ruthlessly knocked away again and again, the experimental subjects who had rekindled their fighting spirit became desperate one by one. In the end, only Xie Yichen and the other four were still holding on.
"Boom bang bang..."
Xie Yichen and the other four, along with their contracted beasts, fell heavily to the ground, their clothes stained red with blood.
Ling Guang looked down at the embarrassed crowd with a look of neither sadness nor joy. He even felt a little bored.
"Is that all?" Ling Guang glanced at Xie Yichen and the others, and said something in a light tone that pierced his heart. "I originally thought you could pique my interest, but now it seems that my expectations of you were too high."
"In that case, let's end it!"
After he finished speaking, Ling Guang finally raised his hand, and an arrow condensed from light elements appeared in the air. He waved his hand lightly, and the arrow flew towards Xie Yichen with a fierce momentum.
Xie Yichen widened his eyes. He wanted to hide, but for some reason, he couldn't move, as if a powerful force had trapped him.
Just when Xie Yichen thought he was doomed, at the critical moment, a purple figure stood in front of him.
Qi Runyu activated all the defensive magic weapons on his body to temporarily block the arrow.
However, he knew that with his Saint King strength, trying to fight against Ling Guang would undoubtedly be like a gnat trying to shake a tree.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard a "crackling" sound, and his defensive magic weapons were broken one by one.
Xie Yichen naturally also heard the sound of the magic weapon breaking, and he also knew that if this continued, the arrow would pierce Qi Runyu's body, which was not what he wanted to see.
"Qi Xiaosi, go away! Don't worry about me!" Xie Yichen shouted hoarsely.
"Shut up!" Qi Runyu roared without even turning his head. This was a rare time for him to be so tough in front of Xie Yichen. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never abandon my brothers and run away."
It was really touching that they never gave up at the critical moment of life and death. Xie Yichen's eyes were red. He was even ready to live and die with everyone. But he didn't expect that the next moment, he heard Qi Runyu's angry cursing.
"Yousha, damn it, did you hear my call? If you don't come, I'm going to die!"
"Crack!"
As Qi Runyu's curses fell, the last defensive magic weapon also shattered. He felt sad and closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death.
"Qi Xiaosi!" Xie Yichen and others exclaimed.
However, the imagined pain of being pierced did not come. Qi Runyu frowned in confusion, but never opened his eyes. A voice with a hint of laughter sounded in his ears, "Little guy, we meet again."
Although it had been a long time since they last met, the voice was still familiar to Qi Runyu, and he recognized who it was.
Qi Runyu slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar black cloak in front of him, he curled his lips slightly and cursed, "Asshole, you're finally here."
Yousha raised her blood-red lips, and looked at Qi Runyu with an inexplicable doting look.
"Well, the king is here." Yousha said softly, "So, don't be afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow in Yousha's hand instantly turned into star-like fragments. He raised his eyes and looked at Ling Guang who was standing in the air, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Is that him?" Yousha asked, "The one you asked me to kill?"
"Yes, that's him." Qi Runyu nodded, then he thought of Ling Guang's terrifying strength and changed his words: "It doesn't matter if you can't kill him, as long as you can save us and leave."
Yousha turned around and gave Qi Runyu an ambiguous look, then said with a look of displeasure, "You really don't trust me?"
Qi Runyu was stunned and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just... worried that you will get hurt."
Hearing this, Yousha's mood suddenly brightened up a lot. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Qi Runyu's head, promising: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you away from here safely."
After he finished speaking, Yousha turned around and looked at Ling Guang, and Ling Guang was also looking at him. There was the same inquiry in the eyes of both of them, and they both did not take the other seriously.
"A person from another world?" Ling Guang spoke slowly, seemingly puzzled. "Since you are not from this world, why do you want to meddle in other people's affairs?"
"Heh!" Yousha laughed with an ambiguous tone, saying, "How can this be considered meddling in other people's affairs? I have come here in response to the summons, and naturally I must fulfill the wishes of the summoner."
Summoner?
Ling Guang frowned slightly, his eyes vaguely falling on Qi Runyu.
Is it him? If he's killed, will the people from the other world he summoned leave?
Thinking of this, a murderous intent suddenly flashed in Ling Guang's eyes. His figure flashed and he appeared in front of Qi Runyu in an instant. If Yousha had not acted in time, his hand would have pierced Qi Runyu's chest and crushed his heart.
"You can't touch my people!"
Yousha's voice was as cold as a knife. He grabbed Ling Guang's wrist, wishing he could crush it.
Ling Guang frowned, looking at Yousha with eyes as cold as water, "Are you determined to go against me, Your Excellency?"
Yousha sneered, "So what?"
For a moment, the two men looked at each other with cold eyes, and a tense atmosphere spread out, as if a fight would break out in the next moment.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow nervously. However, in just a second, the scene changed. Yousha and Lingguang flew into the air without anyone noticing. They were like two beams of light, one black and one white, entangled together. Everyone couldn't see their fight at all. They could only hear the sound of weapons clashing and skills colliding.
Qi Runyu stared at the situation in the sky intently, his heart full of worry about Yousha, and because he was too focused, he did not notice that Xie Yichen and others had climbed up from the ground and walked to his side.
"Qi Xiaosi, shouldn't you explain to me?" Xie Yichen spoke softly, with an angry voice and an unconcealable panic. He was afraid.
Hearing the voice, Qi Runyu's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He turned his gaze to look at Xie Yichen and the others, smiled foolishly, and then asked cheerfully, "How are you? Are you okay? Are you seriously injured? I have some healing potions here, would you like to drink some?"
As he spoke, Qi Runyu took out several bottles of healing potions from his storage ring.
"Come, let's heal our wounds first."
As he spoke, Qi Runyu distributed the healing potion to everyone, but Xie Yichen suddenly grabbed his hand and shouted angrily: "Qi Xiaosi, stop playing dumb, we are not fools!"
Qi Runyu shuddered at the yelling. He raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Xie Yichen, then quickly lowered them guiltily and continued to play dumb, "Xie Fox, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Xie Yichen took a deep breath. He suppressed the urge to beat up the man in front of him and said with a smile: "Okay, very good. You don't understand, right? Then I will explain it more clearly."
"Qi Xiaosi, tell me, why did Yousha appear here? Is it... is it you..."
Xie Yichen gritted his teeth and asked the last question, "Did you summon him here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Jinan, Yang Youli, Yuebai and the other two also looked at Qi Runyu closely. They all remembered that after the battle with Tiandao Sect, the Ghost King Yousha gave the Ghost King Token to Qi Runyu when he left.
At that time, they thought that Qi Runyu would throw away the Ghost King Token after knowing the price of summoning the Ghost King, but now it seems that he did not throw it away at all. Moreover, at the moment of life and death crisis today, he used the Ghost King Token to summon the Ghost King Yousha.
"Qi Xiaosi, have you forgotten what happened to the Tiandao Sect's leader?" Xie Yichen's eyes flushed with anger. "Do you know the price you'll pay for summoning the Ghost King?"
"I know." Qi Runyu finally spoke. He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yichen, saying, "I know that to summon the Ghost King, one must sacrifice one's soul."
"Since you know, then why do you..."
"Because I don't want to watch everyone die here." Qi Runyu smiled and said, "Since there is a chance to save everyone present, why shouldn't I try?"
"Think about it, using my life in exchange for the lives of so many of you is a good deal, isn't it?"
Hearing Qi Runyu's words, Xie Yichen staggered back two steps. He shook his head and murmured with a sob, "Stupid, that's not how it's calculated!"
"Ayu, why are you so stupid?"
The eyes of Tang Jinan, Yang Youli and Yuebai were all red. They should have been happy that they were saved, but they couldn't be happy at all, because... their chance to survive was bought with the lives of their best friends.
"Okay, don't be sad for me. You should be happy for me, because..." Qi Runyu tilted his head and smiled, "I am also a hero, right?"
The tears he had been trying to hold back could no longer be controlled and fell. Xie Yichen cursed with a choked voice, "Idiot."
"Hey, Xie Fox, can't you just stop scolding me?" Qi Runyu pretended to be unhappy and pouted. "Since we were little, you have always liked to go against me. I have never taken advantage of you. Can't you just let me go for once?"
