Chapter 858 - 213: Feelings
Su Changxing looked at the four characters on the ground, showing a displeased expression. With a wave of his hand, he erased "Baijiao" and replaced it with "Keyboard," finally nodding in satisfaction.
"What does Keyboard Saint mean?" Hua san asked.
"A guy from the World of Heaven, it means he’s a good talker." Su Changxing answered indifferently.
Meanwhile.
Jinghan City experienced an anomaly, as people from the World of Heaven were attacking the passage. Originally sealed by the death curse, the passage was once again pushed open.
A gigantic phantom bronze mirror appeared in the central square of Jinghan City, flickering continuously, then over ten people jumped out from it.
Before they could observe their surroundings, they were met with endless attacks by the death curse.
In less than a moment, they were completely engulfed by the death curse, not even a speck of bone remained.
The streets of Jinghan City fell silent once more; most creatures couldn’t survive the density of the death curse, not even some creatures in the black mist.
This was the most powerful aspect of Lin Xiuyu’s plan.
With these death curses, even Tier Seven Extraordinaries couldn’t escape Jinghan City unscathed, while Tier Eight and below Extraordinaries would directly die in the death curse, becoming part of it as nutrients.
With Zhou An stationed outside Jinghan City, under the rules’ constraints, who could get through?
This is why the World of Heaven came to negotiate with Su Changxing.
They wanted to break this situation, but they had to use powers beyond the rule constraints, at least at the level of early saints like Hu Huai’an.
And once they touched Blue Star’s rules, regardless of success, they’d definitely lose personnel.
Even though the World of Heaven is deeply rooted, strong individuals like Hu Huai’an aren’t many, the death of each is a great loss.
Su Changxing sat here, they needed to pay a greater price to break the situation.
Su Changxing didn’t care much about it either; if people from the World of Heaven dared to come, he dared to fight until there was nothing left to fight.
He had no intention of negotiating with them; the behavior of the World of Heaven didn’t treat them as humans, let alone as peers, there’s inherent arrogance.
This behavior is even more disgusting than the Wizard World, they’re invading under the guise of allies, standing on a supreme moral high ground, making everything they do seem justified.
This time.
Hua san’s body was severely damaged, with many parts completely broken, needing to be rebuilt. The attempt to further enhance it took quite a bit of time.
It wasn’t until dusk that the repair was mostly complete.
In mysticism, dusk is the dividing line between reality and illusion, Extraordinary Power is particularly strong at this time.
In traditional witchcraft and magic, this time is also known as the magic hour, when wizards and witches meditate and perform necessary rituals.
The glow from the altar became even more dazzling, making everything around appear blurry, a hint of dusk, intertwined, showcasing splendor.
"Don’t hide, I know you’re here."
Su Changxing turned back toward the tent behind him and said with a smile.
Jin peeked out from behind the tent, with a familiar smile on her face, wearing a black windbreaker, a hood, with one hand in her pocket, extending the other hand wearing a black half-finger glove, waving her fingers back and forth to say hello:
"Hi~"
Su Changxing looked at her, showing a trace of surprise, and walked over in large steps: "Taller than when I left."
Jin put her hands behind her back, walked in nimble steps in front of Su Changxing, suddenly hugged him, sighed, and said:
"You’ve been gone for a long time."
Jin’s body temperature was lower than normal, feeling cool to the touch, roughly like a piece of heated jade, soft and resilient.
"It’s been a while indeed, but there’s no choice, the time flow rate in different worlds is different." Su Changxing touched her head and said helplessly.
Jin raised her head, staring at Su Changxing with her beautiful pale pink eyes, showing a serious expression and said: "You haven’t changed."
Of course Su Changxing hadn’t changed, because of his powerful physique, even after decades, he could maintain his current appearance.
Moreover, in fact, he had significant changes; after going to the Steam World, he realized his body seemed to have lost a segment of time.
But such changes didn’t manifest on his body.
Su Changxing noticed the change in Jin’s eye color, pulling her right eyelid up with his right hand, observing her eyes:
"How’s your body status? The color of your eyes is different from when I left."
Su Changxing used the Eye of Data to analyze Jin’s eyes, but was shocked to find no information could be deciphered, as if they didn’t exist at all.
This situation was unexpected for him; his Eye of Data couldn’t be completely concealed even by Divine Spirits, yet it couldn’t analyze Jin’s eyes.
So, what’s the situation?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
Jin thought for a moment, quietly said: "Shen Xuan is about to die."
This kind of situation seems to have been anticipated, but when truly faced, it can be difficult to accept.
Jin’s eye color is likely a reflection of different Extraordinary powers, with Jin’s power being blue and Shen Xuan’s power being red, both representing opposing yin and yang aspects, one being a mental ability, and the other a physical ability.
Thus, Jin possesses powerful spiritual abilities and can break the boundaries between reality and illusion to "create."
On the other hand, Shen Xuan possesses extraordinary physical strength and controls various body-related abilities.
Perhaps because Shen Xuan is nearing death, her power is merging into Jin’s body, resulting in pink eyes.
This is also a major issue.
It doesn’t mean that once Shen Xuan dies, everything will end. Her power won’t vanish and will continuously flow into Jin’s body.
Jin might also not be able to bear such a powerful force and head towards destruction, at a faster pace!
As for Shen Jinxuan, she will be unable to avoid the impact of such power and will also face demise.
Therefore, Shen Xuan’s death not only signifies her own end but also implies that the other two will face the same fate.
The three of them are already on the same line of destiny. They are independent, yet also one, distinguishable yet inseparable from each other.
Jin seems completely unaware of this issue, or perhaps her concept of life and death is inherently weak.
Death doesn’t mean much to her.
"What’s wrong?" Jin tilted her head to look at Su Changxing, showing a look of confusion.
Su Changxing fell into a brief silence, speaking seriously, "Let me see her condition, maybe there’s still a chance······"
"Hmm."
Jin nodded, and then the color of her pupils deepened, turning a dark red, like a brilliant ruby, and her physique underwent some change, becoming taller, her chest fully stretching the clothes.
Clear black lines appeared on her face, like cracks extending from her eyes.
"What is it."
"Have you missed me?"
Shen Xuan’s lips curved upward, revealing a smiling expression, and even in such a state, the suffocating allure remained overtly seductive.
She didn’t look as if she was about to die at all.
Su Changxing took a deep breath, feeling the blood rushing, subtly stepping back a step, saying, "How’s your body? Jin said you’re about to die."
Shen Xuan looked at Su Changxing, her smile retreating, the bangs on her forehead covering one eye, "Your strength is quite impressive now, I didn’t expect you could reach such a level, hahaha."
"I really am close to dying. This thing keeps eroding my body, my status is unstable, I could fall into self-destruction at any moment."
"This is probably an inevitable thing, I can feel the terrifying power within these substances."
Su Changxing used the Eye of Data to analyze Shen Xuan’s eyes, and this time there was some change, at least he could see something.
[Deep Black Death Aura: Negative energy from an unknown existence, capable of affecting any life form, assimilating or destroying it.]
This should be the power carried by that giant hand, and Shen Xuan, having entered the forbidden zone, passively absorbed too much of this death aura, hence she gradually fell into self-destruction.
It was already a blessing in disguise that she didn’t die back then.
"Is there a way to solve this?" Su Changxing pondered, thinking of how to prevent Shen Xuan’s death.
Shen Xuan watched the pondering Su Changxing, couldn’t help but smile slightly, feeling that the scene was familiar, stepping forward a step, her index finger brushing across the skin of his neck, whispering in his ear:
"There’s no saving me."
"But you came back just in time, if you were a bit later, I wouldn’t have seen you."
Su Changxing looked down at her exquisite profile, the outline forming a perfect curve, the only flaw being those black lines:
"I wonder, do you truly like me?"
He could completely feel Shen Xuan’s unabashed, accumulated feelings, apparent in her demeanor, her gaze, and most certainly her words.
She is smart, scheming, like Su Changxing, they are the same kind of people, adept at disguising, at calculating.
Up until now, Su Changxing still couldn’t see through Shen Xuan, feeling she was like a mist-enshrouded stream flowing into the distance, with an unknown destination.
He thought if it was only Shen Xuan, she probably wouldn’t like him, or rather, Shen Xuan wouldn’t fall for anyone.
Compared to Su Changxing, she is colder, beneath that smile is a glacier, a black abyss, and her only tenderness might be reserved for herself, for the other two of her.
Shen Xuan is influenced, three independent existences yet closely connected, unconsciously affecting each other.
She might not even realize that such emotions accumulated little by little over time, altering her behavior and judgment.
This is a very complex issue, one that Su Changxing cannot ascertain whether it’s Shen Xuan’s feelings or not.
"I don’t know, but does it matter?" Shen Xuan said lazily and calmly, though her eyes seemed to tremble, indicating she herself was unsure.
"You’re really good at pretending." Su Changxing’s lips curled up, suddenly hugging Shen Xuan tightly, evidently feeling her body’s tremors, not as calm as she portrayed.
