Chapter 73 Ambush, Ye Cang's Calamity

Cangsheng's myriad thoughts burned to ash, a desolate and cruel age of war. In this final, desolate era, the peerless and unrestrained Qihuang brought war to the universe, a calamity to all living things.

Almost everything in the cosmos was reduced to dust...

Within the Gold Light Mercenary Corps, Juan Tian Kuang Fo stared intently at Xi'er, his eyes unblinking. "Wonderful... wonderful. As the old saying goes, 'a pear blossom branch weighing down a crabapple,' truly delightful."

The volatile Ying Ning finally couldn't help but say, "You smelly monk, Buddhist disciples are supposed to uphold strict rules and precepts. Yet you, monk, not only sport a trendy hairstyle, but you also can't keep your eyes still. Be careful they don't fall out!!!"

Juan Tian Kuang Fo wasn't angry and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, little girl, you don't understand. Most shramana monks spend their days chanting scriptures, their mouths full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, constantly talking about saving all living beings."

"But tell me, during this Qihuang calamity, have you seen those Buddhist masters who have attained the Great Dao and great success come forward to save the common people?"

"I, Juan Tian Kuang Fo, don't preach benevolence and righteousness, and I certainly don't adhere to Buddhist precepts. Not only that, but I also drink alcohol, eat meat, and kill! Especially when I encounter beauties like Xi'er and you, I can't control my eyes even more... As the saying goes, 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart!' Buddha is kept in the heart, not constantly on the lips."

For a moment, Ying Ning was speechless, having been refuted by Juan Tian Kuang Fo.

Xi'er quickly asked, "Senior Kuang Fo, may I ask what brings you here?"

Being asked by Xi'er, Juan Tian Kuang Fo immediately remembered the purpose of his trip. He quickly wiped away the saliva that had dripped out because of Xi'er and Ying Ning's beauty. "Ah... I'm here to inform everyone that you are all invited to the Super Dimensional Fortress tomorrow."

"The main purpose is to discuss how to resist the End-World Qihuang. I believe everyone is very clear that the End-World Qihuang led his band of Jie Kings and destroyed countless star systems overnight. More than a hundred of your mercenary organizations were slaughtered."

"And we, the Super Dimensional Fortress, have only a handful of A-class combatants left. One peerless S-class Juyong Zhe died in battle, and two are missing. If everyone can unite this time to resist the End-World Qihuang, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Therefore... this time, the Super Dimensional Fortress intends to bury the hatchet with all the mercenary corps and discuss how to resist the disaster of the end. Everyone, see you tomorrow."

After speaking, Juan Tian Kuang Fo turned and left.

The next day, everyone left the base to go to the Super Dimensional Fortress to discuss how to deal with the End-World Qihuang.

Because Ye Cang was injured and had just recovered, Ye Cang and Ying Ning were responsible for staying behind to guard the base.

After everyone had left, only Ye Cang and Ying Ning remained.

From the moment Ying Ning first met Ye Cang, she was attracted to him. He could risk his life for a person he had just met, for a mere verbal promise, just to keep his word.

He even hunted the S-class Dragon Demon alone for the life creed a man should have, just to live up to the hopes of the world...

In Ying Ning's heart, Ye Cang was the brightest and most dazzling star in the dark night, a star that could illuminate the day.

Ye Cang was very quiet. He was always like this, always liking to quietly look forward to life and enjoy life. He often felt sad, but this did not affect his love for life.

Ying Ning silently sat beside Ye Cang. Although they did not communicate, their hearts were connected.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded inside the base. Without thinking, they knew that uninvited guests had arrived!

The two went outside to investigate and saw a person with a head of red hair, with a fierce and strange face. Before the two could speak, Nu Yao Jie Wang said, "My name is Nu Yao Jie Wang, one of the Jie Kings under the command of the End-World Qihuang. I heard that you have extraordinary abilities, so I have come to learn from you!"

Ye Cang knew that this battle was unavoidable, and instantly moved behind Nu Yao Jie Wang, "Super Space-Time Zero Realm, Luna's Fall."

With a whoosh, Nu Yao Jie Wang's feet left the ground, and his body leaned back.

Nu Yao Jie Wang thought to himself at this moment, "This kid actually doesn't play by the rules, launching a sneak attack first. How hateful!"

Bang!

With a back slam, the back of Nu Yao Jie Wang's head hit the ground. The saliva he had just swallowed into his chest was also knocked out.

The surrounding earth began to shake, and the splashing sand and rocks were like a barrage of bullets shooting everywhere. The ground directly under Nu Yao Jie Wang's back was smashed into a cracked, concave shape.

Before Ye Cang could follow up with a killing blow, Nu Yao Jie Wang roared madly, and a scarlet smoke suddenly emitted from his body. Immediately, Nu Yao Jie Wang, from head to toe, seemed to be covered in a layer of fresh blood. His right hand formed a blood-colored claw solidified from blood.

Ye Cang hurriedly transformed into Star Scar state, and the second stage of Domain Reading power was immediately prepared to freeze Nu Yao Jie Wang in time.

Nu Yao Jie Wang slashed vertically with his claw, and Ye Cang immediately dodged to the side.

Missing with his claw, Nu Yao Jie Wang kicked out sideways.

Bang!

Ye Cang was kicked several meters away and fell to the ground.

Nu Yao Jie Wang succeeded with one strike and then leaped into the air, rotating horizontally 360 degrees, his scarlet claws heading straight for Ye Cang's heart!

In this critical situation, Ye Cang was about to activate his Domain Reading power to freeze Nu Yao Jie Wang in time.

Just then, Ying Ning pulled her right hand sharply behind her, and an almost transparent thread pulled Ye Cang back to her side.

"Ye Cang, don't be careless, they are very powerful enemies."

Ye Cang nodded, and once again, he used both fists and legs, engaging with Nu Yao Jie Wang.

And Ying Ning assisted from the side, using invisible threads to restrain every deadly blood claw of Nu Yao Jie Wang.

After a series of exchanges, Ye Cang and Ying Ning gained a slight advantage.

Nu Yao Jie Wang was unwilling to accept this and suddenly roared in anger, extending his left hand forward with his five fingers open. Suddenly, a red blood bead the size of a fist condensed in the palm of Nu Yao Jie Wang's hand. After a few seconds, the blood bead grew larger and larger, almost covering Nu Yao Jie Wang.

"Blood Soul Jie Wang Slaughter!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...

In an instant, countless scarlet blood soul beads shot towards Ying Ning and Ye Cang indiscriminately.

Countless circular blood colors, like countless meteor showers, burst towards the two.

Because Nu Yao Jie Wang's Blood Soul Jie Wang Slaughter was dense, Ying Ning's calf was hit first.

Ying Ning, who was hit by the Blood Soul Jie Wang Slaughter, fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Cang hurriedly ran to Ying Ning's side.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang... Countless blood soul beads, like raindrops, all smashed towards Ye Cang.

Ying Ning was immediately dumbfounded, and her heart shattered as she watched Ye Cang suffer every blow of the blood soul beads for her sake.

Ying Ning's eyes suddenly became wet, and she shouted at Ye Cang, "Idiot! Big idiot, hurry up and leave, don't worry about me!"

After saying that, Ying Ning grabbed Ye Cang's collar with both hands and threw him to the left, avoiding the range of the blood soul bead attack.

At this moment, Ying Ning slowly closed her already wet eyes, intending to accept the fate that was about to happen in the next second.

On the verge of death, Ye Cang immediately activated his Domain Reading power, freezing Nu Yao Jie Wang and his move, Blood Soul Jie Wang Slaughter, in time.

Ye Cang knew that three seconds was not enough time to explain to Ying Ning.

He saw Ye Cang's feet just landed on the ground, and he rushed towards Ying Ning.

Pfft!

Ying Ning was knocked away several meters by Ye Cang. At this moment, the three seconds of Nu Yao Jie Wang's freeze had ended.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang...

Countless blood soul beads all smashed into Ye Cang's body.

At this moment, yellow sand filled the sky, and blood and bones splattered. The world was chaotic, and the blood-colored soul rain angrily locked in wandering.

The suffocating bloodiness, the wildly howling yellow sand danced barbarously.

At this time, Ye Cang stood between heaven and earth, and the hot tears of his man, along with the bloody remnants, fell together in tears.

"Ugh... it seems I'm going to end here... Finally... it's finally over."

Thump!

Ye Cang fell down, his face facing the sky.

"Ye Cang!"

Ying Ning burst into tears instantly. She used all her strength to crawl to Ye Cang's side and hugged Ye Cang into her arms.

Snap snap snap snap snap, Ying Ning's eyes were filled with tears, and she cried like a child, like a child who had lost a beloved thing, "Ye Cang! Wake up! I beg you, wake up Ye Cang!"

She was crying, an uncontrollable pain, a difficult-to-bury pain.

Ye Cang slowly opened his eyes, "Uh... don't be sad, Ying Ning. I... I've long wanted to die. I've thought of many ways... However, none of the ways I've imagined dying before were as handsome as dying today."

Just as Ye Cang spoke, Ying Ning clenched her fist tightly, trying to stop her sobbing.

She... wanted to remember every word, every sentence that Ye Cang said firmly in her heart.

Suddenly, Ye Cang closed his eyes.

At this moment! Ying Ning could no longer restrain her grief, and her tears poured out uncontrollably, and a deep, reverberating echo echoed in her chest...
