Chapter 339 Qing Long commits suicide
But it was too late. Almost the moment he finished speaking, many bloody holes suddenly appeared all over his body.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the soul chain instantly absorbed his blood, emitting a strange blood light.
The blood spread all around, and Ruan Xihe's face changed slightly.
At the same time, screams suddenly came one after another from below.
“Hua Yu, how dare you sneak attack me!” Gongzi Heng covered his injured arm and shouted in shock.
Dai Yan's tone was also a little surprised, "Yun Xi!"
When Ruan Xihe heard the sound, he hurried to the top of the tower and looked down.
Below, the people in Shangguan Chu's team who had just woken up from coma were fighting with each other as if they had lost their souls.
Coupled with the siege from the Saint's disciples and those monks, the scene below became even more chaotic.
The situation, which was originally very favorable, suddenly turned into a disadvantage because of their defection.
And because the others were not on guard against Shangguan Chu and his group, they were ambushed and many people were not careful and were injured.
Ruan Xihe turned his head instantly and looked at the soul chain in the black-robed man's hand.
She was almost certain that Huayu and the others became like this because of the soul chain!
The man in black robe was still spitting blood. He pulled the corners of his mouth and made a giggle from time to time in his throat, which sounded extremely harsh.
His eyes were not completely closed yet, his breath was weak and gradually getting fainter, but the look he gave Ruan Xihe was full of mockery and ridicule.
That look seemed to say to her, 'They will kill each other until they die...'
Ruan Xihe pulled the soul chain from his hand, trying to destroy it, but no matter how he chopped or cut it, the soul chain couldn't be damaged at all.
Moreover, this soul chain seemed to have consciousness. Every time Ruan Xihe hurt it, it would suck more blood.
The man in black robe will soon die, and the soul chain will absorb the energy from those who are controlled by it.
If Ruan Xihe insists on destroying it, then the prerequisite is that the person being controlled must die first.
For a while, the situation was a little tricky.
The situation below was a bit chaotic. Qing Long looked at Shangguan Chu and his group who suddenly changed the direction of their attack, and his heart instantly sank.
It seems that the traitor has already figured out a way to control people using soul chains.
Even she didn't know this method!
Qinglong looked around and saw that more and more people were injured. Because they had to take into account that they were also from the same sect, they only defended and did not attack.
But the other party is irrational and will only kill you.
So in this way, the situation for their people will become worse and worse.
In the current situation, if they cannot break the control of the soul chain over them, then everyone may die here.
But there is only one way to break free from the control of the soul chain, and that is...
"Senior Brother Zhou." Qing Long couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene around him, and softly called out to Linghu Zhou beside him.
Linghu Zhou sensed something, as if he realized what she was going to say. He swung his sword and turned around, wanting to persuade her.
"Brother Zhou, I know what you are going to say." Qing Long shook his head and interrupted him. "This happened because of me. I am the one who should be held most responsible."
"If I don't stand up, they might all die here, and Sister Ruan saved me twice. If it weren't for her, I might have died a long time ago, so this time, I must stand up."
"Of course, I'm not just trying to save others. If I don't stand up..." Qing Long grinned, "Brother Zhou, both of us won't survive. If I stand up, at least you can survive."
Qinglong's little face, which was splattered with blood, was filled with relief.
She took a deep breath and placed the sword on her neck.
"Brother Zhou, don't be sad." Qing Long said to Linghu Zhou with a smile, "By the way, after you return to the sect, you must remember to tell father that we have caught the traitor. This way, I will no longer be the little girl who never grows up and only knows how to play in his eyes. I will also have accomplished something successfully..."
Linghu Zhou frowned and looked at her, shook his head and took a step back.
Soul chain, cannot be broken.
But because the soul chain was born with Qing Long, as long as Qing Long died, the soul chain would be broken...
All of this is a dead end.
Qingtaki finished speaking and raised his head with a smile.
She wanted to take another look at the heroic figure in red. If there was an afterlife, she hoped to meet her again. But when she looked up, she only saw Ruan Xihe's back.
Qinglong smiled with relief.
She drew out the sword and committed suicide. A bloody cut was instantly made on her neck and blood gushed out.
Her speed was so fast that many people couldn't react.
Only Ruan Xihe reacted. The soul chain in her hand suddenly broke, and she immediately realized that something had happened to Qinglong.
There was a 'clang' sound.
The blood-stained sword fell to the ground with a sound.
Ruan Xihe turned around in shock, and wherever he looked, he saw Qing Long slowly falling down with a smile on his face.
"Qinglong!" Linghu Zhou caught her body.
The soul chain shattered, the strange blood light disappeared, and everyone gradually regained consciousness.
Not only Shangguan Chu and Hua Yu woke up, but even the monks and civilians in the city woke up as well.
"Everyone, don't panic, take down the enemy first." Liu Ruyu was the first to react.
Ruan Xihe jumped down from the top of the tower carrying the body of the man in black robe, jumped onto the eaves of the tower a few floors below, and then landed on the ground.
She ran to Qinglong's side and took her body from Linghu Zhou's arms.
The blood gushing from his neck, together with the blood stains from the previous battle, covered his entire body, and it was impossible to see the original color of Qingtaki's clothes.
Ruan Xihe put her hand on Qinglong's neck, trying to stop more blood from flowing out, but it was useless, blood overflowed from between her fingers.
In fact, she knew that Qingtaki was gone.
If Qinglong still had a chance of survival, the soul chain would never be broken.
"Junior Sister Xihe..." Shangguan Chu walked over with a guilty look on his face.
He had already learned the whole story from the fragmentary words of the people around him.
If they had not been caught, Ruan Xihe would not have to sacrifice his life for others, and Qing Long would not have risked his life to save others.
Shangguan Chu first glanced at Qinglong in Ruan Xihe's arms, and then bowed to Linghu Zhou, "In this matter, you saved us..."
"No." Linghu Zhou interrupted, "You don't have to thank me. After all, this matter is my responsibility. If I hadn't been careless, the soul chain wouldn't have been stolen, and Qing Long wouldn't have..."
Having said this, Linghu Zhou laughed at himself.
"Anyway, now everything has been settled. I'm sorry to trouble you to stay and clean up the mess. As for Qing Long... there is no time to waste. I want to take her home as soon as possible."
Shangguan Chu's expression changed again and again, and finally he could only say apologetically: "When I return to the academy, I will report everything to the dean, and then go back to Zilu Sect to thank you."
Linghu Zhou shook his head, took Qinglong's body from Ruan Xihe, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a ray of golden light shot down from the sky which was shrouded in heavy haze.
