Chapter 270

With a fearless face, Xi looked at the arrow coming toward her. She slowly closed her eyes and smiled faintly with relief. Zichun next to her was greatly horrified and started to struggle.

The arrow went very fast. Within a few breaths, it had arrived in front of Xi.

Mo Heng rushed here from the distance and happened to see the scene. At the moment, his heart just stopped beating.

On the platform, Liqing, who was watching the fun complacently, suddenly changed color. She looked in shock at the scene on the Immortal Killing Terrace.

“Umm…” Zichun groaned and held Xi tightly. It turned out that Zichun broke free from the darksteel chain on him at the cost of his 1000-year attainment and then sprang on Xi to block the arrow with his own body.

Hearing that groan, Xi opened her eyes and saw a heartbreaking scene.

Zichun… Tears rolled down her cheeks again. Why? Why did Zichun take the arrow for her?

Mo Heng in the distance stared at Zichun’s back with complicated feelings. He was jealous of the man. He was jealous that Zichun could take the arrow and die for her. Meanwhile, he admired Zichun’s courage and everything he had done. He was grateful that Zichun saved Xi’s life. In other words, Zichun also saved his life. Besides, he felt a sense of deep guilt and self-accusation. In her most dangerous and saddest time, Zichun stepped up for her and would like to die for her. What about Mo Heng? What did he do?

Liqing on the platform saw Xi was safe and clenched her fists. Her long nails sank into her palms and her coquettish face was full of malice and jealousy. Why were so many people willing to die for her? What on earth was good about her?

“Give me the bow.”

The monster soldier behind Liqing heard that and immediately passed a bow to her.

Liqing took the bow and picked up three arrows with her malicious eyes narrowed. She must see how many more arrows he could take for her.

With three whooshes, three arrows went at Zichun and Xi together.

The eyes of Mo Heng in the distance became grim. With a flick of his fingers, a rush of black mysterious Qi went at the three arrows.

The three arrows were all broken and fell from the air.

Liqing’s face instantly darkened. She turned her head with a frown. Seeing Mo Heng, Liqing was astounded, her coquettish eyes full of panic.

Mo Heng flew to Xi and waved his hand. A gust of black mysterious Qi, like a sharp sword, broke the darksteel chain.

Xi regained her freedom but she didn’t take a look at Mo Heng. Her eyes were fixed on Zichun. She held Zichun tightly and wiped the blood off his lips. “Zichun…” She wanted to say something but she couldn’t. Tears kept running down her face.

Zichun wiped tears off Xi’s face and cracked a satisfied smile, “Xi, don’t cry… It doesn’t hurt…”

Mo Heng stood aside and watched Xi and Zichun quietly. His hands were clenched into fists. He didn’t go forward because he was mortified in front of them.

More tears came out of Xi’s eyes. She held Zichun’s hands, “Zichun, don’t die. Please don’t die…” She had lost her father. She didn’t want to lose Zichun. She didn’t want to live in this world alone.

Zichun looked at Xi crying sadly, his eyes flickering, “I’m sorry…” He couldn’t be with her anymore.

Hearing that, Xi was heartbroken. She should be the one to say sorry, but now, he said it. Why was he so nice to her?

Zichun caressed Xi’s face from her brows to her eyes as if to keep her look in mind at the last moment of his life.

Tears kept coming out. Xi felt that she had cried so much these days.

In the end, his hand settled on Xi’s lips.

Xi closed her eyes and shed tears. She bent down to kiss Zichun on the forehead.

Zichun cracked a satisfied smile and slowly closed his eyes. His hand dropped feebly. He thought, “Xi, wherever you are, I’ll guard you forever. Goodbye, my princess.”

“Zichun…” Xi held Zichun in her arms and cried at the top of her voice.

Duanmu Xi looked at Zichun on the ground with a tearful face. Suddenly, she wanted to meet Lian Zhengyu, the man who guarded her quietly in her previous life and this life.

Shortly, Jun Wuxie and the four mythical creatures arrived at the Immortal Killing Terrace. Upon seeing Xi and Zichun there, they all felt mixed feelings of guilt and self-accusation. In particular, Lou Che’s death dealt a heavy blow to Jun Wuxie. He blamed himself for Lou Che’s death. If he and Mo Heng hadn’t gotten wasted, all of this wouldn’t happen.

Jun Wuxie looked at Liqing on the platform, his eyes glistening fiercely. He talked to the four mythical creatures, “Go and catch that woman.” He wouldn’t let go of the people who caused Lou Che’s death.

“Yes.” The four mythical creatures immediately flew onto the platform.

Liqing was shocked to see the four mythical creatures and turned around. She wanted to escape but was surrounded by the four mythical creatures.

Staring at the four mythical creatures, Liqing swallowed nervously, “What… What do you want to do? I… I’m the princess of the Monster World…”

Hearing that, Xuanwu sneered, “You won’t be soon.” Liqing had hurt the girl their beast god cared about. How could she still be the princess alive? In her dream!

On the Immortal Killing Terrace, Xi cried for a long time and finally calmed down.

Mo Heng went forward gently and looked at Xi, saying softly, “Don’t cry. It’s bad for your health.” Mo Heng wanted to help Xi up but got shaken away by her.

Xi looked coldly at Mo Heng, “Stop acting. Who are you acting for?” What was he doing here? Did he want to hurt her more?

Her cold words just made Mo Heng’s heart ache.

After being silent for a while, Mo Heng said, “I’m sorry!” He didn’t know what else he could say.

Hearing that, Xi recalled Zichun and lowered her head to look at his quiet and pale face. Instantly, tears ran down her face.

She put Zichun on the ground gently and stood up, staring at Mo Heng calmly, “Don’t say sorry to me. I can’t bear it.” His saying sorry was an insult to the word sorry.

Her cold gaze broke Mo Heng’s heart again. He felt so grieved as if he couldn’t breathe.

Without seeing Mo Heng’s sad eyes, Xi closed her eyes. As her arms shook, a gust of strong mysterious Qi gushed out of Xi.

The sudden scene astounded Mo Heng. He wanted to stop her but it was too late.

Jun Wuxie also flew off the Immortal Killing Terrace in astonishment.

After emitting the potent mysterious Qi, Xi spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Xi…” Seeing Xi spit out blood, Mo Heng felt a gut-wrenching pain in his heart. He tried to help her up but was pushed away by her again.

Covering her chest, Xi stared coldly at Mo Heng and said word by word, “I’ve eliminated my attainment… It’s to return your life-saving favor… From now on, we’re even…” She didn’t want anything to do with him anymore. Not even a bit.

Mo Heng’s heart was numb in pain. His eyes were full of anguish. He didn’t understand why she hated him so much. However, despite that, he still loved her.

Xi turned around and picked up an arrow from the ground.

Jun Wuxie who had been paying attention to Xi saw that and felt nervous at once. He shouted anxiously, “Xi…” As he shouted, he tried to go forward.

Seeing Jun Wuxie come forward, Xi immediately pressed the arrow against her neck, “Don’t come closer!”

“OK, I won’t. Calm down!” Jun Wuxie looked at Xi and immediately stopped, waving his hands to suggest that he wouldn’t go near.

“Xi, don’t…” Mo Heng also realized what Xi wanted to do and then stared at her with an imploring face.

“Xi, calm down. Don’t do anything silly. Your parents wouldn’t want to see you do this.” Jun Wuxie was burning with anxiety now. His cousin had lost all her attainment, making her as weak as a mortal. If she was stabbed by this monstrous arrow, she would die for sure!

Hearing Jun Wuxie mention her parents, Xi closed her eyes in pain and shed tears. She stabbed the arrow heavily into her chest.

“No…”

“Xi…” The two of them shouted at the same time. A tear rolled down from the corner of Mo Heng’s eye. At the moment, he felt he was so useless. A sense of deep powerlessness swept through his heart. He had never thought of a moment when he couldn’t do anything but watch his lover die.

The four mythical creatures were also stupefied by the sudden scene. They stared at Xi on the Immortal Killing Terrace and didn’t understand why she was doing this.

Only Liqing laughed happily. That stupid woman just killed herself. Liqing found it so hilarious.

This stab was for her parents. Her parents gave her life and brought her up with affection. They also ended up dying for her. However, she just did nothing for them. She owed them this.

Xi pulled the arrow out of her chest and then stabbed herself heavily again. Blood just dripped down the corner of her mouth again.

Mo Heng and Jun Wuxie were heartbroken to see Xi hurting herself again. They couldn’t help going forward and grabbing her arms, but they were shaken away by her again.

“Don’t… touch me…” Xi ignored them, walked to Zichun, and knelt. This stab was for Zichun. Zichun had pampered her and cared about her since their childhood. In the end, he died for her. She owed him this.

Once again, Xi pulled the arrow out of her chest. Mo Heng and Jun Wuxie rushed over and seized the blood-stained arrow in Xi’s hand.

“Don’t… Don’t torture me like this again.” With his eyes suffused with tears, Mo Heng looked at Xi imploringly.

Xi seemed not to hear his begging words and then leaned forward to bump into the arrow. The last stab was for the Immortal World. She failed to guard the Immortal World well. She wasn’t a good princess. She owed the Immortal World this.

Seeming to complete her last wish, Xi smiled in relief and slowly closed her eyes, falling forward.
