Chapter 337 I Want More People to Live

Just as the Daoist said the answer was correct, his five fingers clenched suddenly, already grasping the cause and effect. Qi was awakened from his self-imposed exile, a state of forgetting everything, and immediately realized what had just happened.

Wei Yuan directly used Qi's last nostalgic action to enter the deepest part of his heart, and then forcibly questioned his true nature.

Even with the determination in his heart, as long as there was a trace of attachment to the human world, he would be exploited.

Qi had already made the judgment to go to his death.

Moreover, there would be no hesitation in his actions.

But even the most steadfast hero, in the illusion-like scenes before his death, seeing the memories of his best days, seeing his best friend asking if he wanted to live.

There would still be some softness in the end.

There are always some people who can let you not have to hold on so hard.

Perhaps parents, or lovers, or perhaps close friends who have gone through life and death together.

And this answer had already been used by Wei Yuan as an anchor point for cause and effect.

Qi finally completely reacted, suddenly raised his head, almost driven to exasperation, gritting his teeth, "Yuan, you… you're shameless!"

His five fingers swept across, the Qimen Grand Formation changed and intertwined, as if transforming into an unparalleled blade, wanting to directly sever this section of cause and effect completely. His movements were ruthless, without any mercy or hesitation, his tone low, already with anger, "Get back, Kai Ming must be eliminated. If you force your way here, even if I survive, I will break with you."

"We will never meet again in this life, and we will fight to the death!"

A glimmer of expectation had already appeared on Kai Ming's face, and then his expression changed.

He saw that the young man, who had clearly shown a weak posture, turned to look at him, and his eyes were still stern and cold.

It was, in fact, without the slightest change.

"I want to live, and I want you to die, there is no conflict."

And Qi held the long sword formed by many Qimen in both hands, severing the cause and effect, and then suddenly stabbed down.

[Qimen Grand Formation · Expel]

The entire Qimen Grand Formation collapsed directly and rapidly, flowing out beyond the ten directions.

The young man's face began to blur, only his eyes remained bright.

Without hesitation, he directly accelerated the exile.

If before it was like calmly waiting for the whirlpool of water to swallow him, still reminiscing about the past, then now it was resolutely jumping off a cliff, directly heading towards the most direct death.

Kai Ming truly felt that sense of fear, the fear of approaching annihilation.

Unwilling, he said, "You! You will die too!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to live too?!"

"Isn't your heart also hoping to be rescued? Are you crazy?!"

Qi's tone was condescending and arrogant, as he answered softly, "I want to live, yes, I really want to live."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on his friend in front of him, his hands holding the sword, the aura running along the blade. By stripping himself away, he achieved a temporary state where cause and effect could not touch him. As if his inner thoughts were exposed, he said:

"I want to live, Ah Yuan, you're talking nonsense. As long as you're alive, who doesn't want to live?! Who wants to die? Isn't that already the greatest desire? But Ah Yuan, I am human, so of course I want to live."

"But can a person kill their parents, kill their friends, and make a river of blood in their hometown in order to live?!"

"No, right?"

"No one wants to die, even gods don't want to die, but can they avoid certain things because they don't want to die? Even if it's a disaster?"

"Back then, Gu killed his colleagues in order to avoid death, to avoid the disaster of death, was that right?"

Just like in the previous vision of his true spirit, at this moment, the mask on the young man's face shattered completely:

"I want to live, but compared to me living, I want Yan Huang to be at peace even more."

"So even if I really want to live, I am unwilling to live."

"I am also afraid of death, but compared to my death, I am even more afraid of the devastation of the world."

"So even if it is a tribulation, this is my own choice."

Finally, the young man lowered his eyes gently, "Ah Yuan, but my desires are greater than my own desire to live. I want more people to live…"

The long sword shattered, and everything in the ten directions was annihilated. The Qimen Grand Formation constructed over five thousand years, and the chains formed around his body, finally shattered completely, turning into starlight like the ones he had seen in his youth. Then, the starlight surged upwards, eventually turning into strands of flowing light, returning to silence.

Without the slightest hesitation.

In the end, only some voices remained. In this voice, there was finally the tone of that friend that Wei Yuan was familiar with.

"So, remember me a little more…"

"No!!!"

Accompanied by the final scream, Kai Ming's consciousness completely disappeared.

Top Ten of the Turbid World – Kai Ming.

Exile · Death.

Final slayer – Human Race · Qi.

Beyond the ten directions, cause and effect do not exist, life and death are not apparent, and the past and future lose their value.

Invisible, untouchable, unable to contact the mortal world, and unable to be perceived.

Qi felt himself sinking, or rather, not sinking, because there was no concept of up and down here, nor was there time. Kai Ming's consciousness had completely annihilated, and even Qi, as the controller of the formation, was only slightly slower than Kai Ming in entering that process.

This could not really be considered death.

But it was no different from death, even more thorough than death.

At least when you die, there are still people who remember you.

"I will be waiting for you. You won't have it any easier than me."

Kai Ming's venomous words at the moment of complete annihilation still echoed in his ears.

Qi's expression was peaceful as he stretched out his hand upwards, at least towards the faint concept of "above" that he could still perceive at this moment, and said, "As expected, I am not the kind of hero who is not afraid of anything."

"I'm already starting to regret it."

"Heh… just kidding."

At this moment, Qi suddenly saw golden flowing lights circulating and changing on his arm.

Not his own cause and effect, but—

[Heavenly Secrets · Fuxi]!

Qi suddenly remembered that when he and his companions were adventuring in the Shanhai Realm, he had obtained Fuxi's innate Bagua inheritance in the ruins, while Yu had obtained the Yeying Sword. Nü Jiao and Ah Yuan could neither lift the sword nor understand Fuxi's innate Bagua. At this moment, it was this object that connected with the section of cause and effect that Wei Yuan had left behind earlier.

The golden flowing light spread directly towards the sky.

Like a final burst.

Heavenly Secrets intertwined with cause and effect, cause and effect supporting Heavenly Secrets, complementing each other.

But this was, after all, the area beyond the ten directions, and even such a cycle of cause and effect and Heavenly Secrets could not break through.

The golden flowing light spread upwards, but soon reached its limit, and then began to slow down, only leaving a brilliant flowing light in Qi's eyes.

At this moment, in an area where there should have been no sound, a faint but real breaking sound actually appeared.

The void shattered, and a palm directly stretched into the domain beyond the ten directions. Almost instantly, the palm began to encounter the erosion of the conceptual area of [Beyond the Ten Directions], because the aura of cause and effect on that palm was too strong, almost like flames reaching into the extreme ice, rapidly dissipating.

Then, it clenched suddenly, directly tearing at that cause and effect.

Naturally, there was no cause and effect or Heavenly Secrets beyond the ten directions. At this moment, Wei Yuan forcibly pulled Qi back with cause and effect.

Even though his own cause and effect and foundation were being rapidly eroded, Wei Yuan still held on tightly.

Wei Yuan's voice came out, "I heard you."

Wei Yuan had not expected that his friend, who was usually so gentle, would be so decisive when doing things.

"This time, I really have to thank that scumbag snake."

Qi said in disbelief, "Ah Yuan, you…"

Since cause and effect and Heavenly Secrets were intertwined, it was naturally equivalent to not being in the area beyond the ten directions. Along with this action, the concepts around Qi reassembled, equivalent to being brought back entirely by a single thread of cause and effect.

"Cough, Nü Jiao and Yu are going to have another wedding. I'm still waiting for you to help me save my life."

"Now you want to run? You wish."

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and maintained the cause and effect.

But at this moment, both Wei Yuan and Qi simultaneously felt a terrifying force slashing towards this direction from outside. Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly, his aura vibrated, and sword energy raged around him, only to be torn apart by an equally cold and domineering aura. Qingping Sword burst forth, blocking this attack.

Outside, space was torn apart, and a figure with a veil slowly walked out, her eyebrows sharp, surrounded by golden winds.

But she also carried layers of turbid air.

It was the Jinmu Yuanjun who had been forced back by Wei Yuan earlier.

But the Daoist's intention rose, Qingping Sword circled and howled, directly tearing over, and holding the sword in one hand, he actually fought evenly matched.

Wanting to bring someone back from beyond the ten directions, to re-endow them with concepts, to pull them back within the ten directions, required a process.

Wei Yuan held the sword in one hand and fought with Jinmu Yuanjun.

At this moment, in another direction—

Xi Huang pushed back the Hun Tian body with a spear, the latter seemed to have received Jinmu Yuanjun's transmission, abandoned Xi Huang, and tore towards Wei Yuan's direction, wrapped in the vast concepts of law, undoubtedly intending to join forces with Jinmu Yuanjun. Xi Huang only sighed, watching her body gradually dissipate.

The time had come—

This kind of state could not be maintained for a long time after all.

With only Jinmu Yuanjun alone, Wei Yuan was already somewhat sluggish and strained to deal with her with one hand.

At this moment, the Hun Tian body attacked again.

Its momentum was also vast. Not to mention that there was no sign of holding back at all, even if he did hold back, Wei Yuan would hardly be able to cope with such an opponent with one hand. It was obvious that he was already somewhat stretched thin. Qi also saw this, and shouted, "Let go! Ah Yuan, do you want to come down with me?!"

Wei Yuan only held on tightly, gripping Qingping Sword in his right hand, forcibly intercepting two opponents.

For a time, sword energy was like frost, golden winds swirled in the four fields, causing the sun, moon, and stars to lose their light, and the world to be vast, a scene of solemn killing.

The Gengjin Qi, which was the most adept at killing, was the so-called Gengjin carrying baleful energy.

Scars had already appeared on the Daoist's body.

Jinmu Yuanjun's voice was clear, cold, and indifferent: "Do you think you can stop this seat with just one hand?"

"Are there such people in the mortal world?"

"Is it arrogance, or ignorance?"

The spear in her hand was already wrapped in vast golden winds, rotating and stabbing out.

Wei Yuan used Qingping Sword to intercept Jinmu Yuanjun's spear, which trembled violently. In the next instant, Qingping Sword burst forth with green light, as if being directly knocked away, and in an instant, it had gone to an extremely distant place.

Wei Yuan still had to maintain the cause and effect with Qi with one hand, unable to move.

It seemed that he had reached a dead end.

But Wei Yuan's expression was still calm, as if everything was in preparation, as if there was still a chance to turn the tables.

While Qi was puzzled, Lü Fengxian, who had been lurking all along, suddenly smashed out with a halberd, his aura like a rainbow, directly towards the back of the Hun Tian body's head, catching the Hun Tian body off guard. It had not expected that its companion, who had said it would join forces to disrupt the world, would actually do such a thing. It was shocked and enraged, and turned to intercept this attack.

Then, Lü Bu Fengxian suddenly abandoned his halberd and retreated, twisting his body, exerting force, clenching his five fingers, his body like a bow, his spine like a bowstring.

His momentum was like a full moon, fully erupting.

He shot a sword directly out!

Laughing loudly, "Catch!"

Chang'an Sword.

The Daoist turned his back to Lü Fengxian, reaching out his right hand behind him, clenching it slightly.

Then, Chang'an Sword's scabbard disintegrated in the void.

A clear sword chime erupted, and a clear golden sword light soared into the sky, vast and boundless, like the Yan Huang of the human world.

Then, another sword chime erupted, with the same momentum, its color azure green, as if the sky was above, bright and distant.

The Human Path · Chang'an.

The Heavenly Path · Qingping.

The Daoist in white hair and green robes pressed down with his five fingers, and the swirling sword energy surged and erupted, directly separating the entire Eight Heavens Gate Formation. Then, vast and boundless, it enveloped the Hun Tian body and the appearing Jinmu Yuanjun's clone together. The sword energy was grand, cold and domineering, the sky was high and distant, and the human world was Yan Huang.

The Zhuxian Sword Formation, activate!!!

"So what if you are above?!
