Chapter 70.1
Chapter 70 – White (1)
After twists and turns, Yun Xie finally got rid of the entanglement of the monsters and ghosts that were acting under Xuan Li . Half his life was already lost from being scared for Jiang Xunyi . At this time, he finally found the person he was looking for and recklessly pressed him into his arms, immediately feeling that his whole heart was at ease .
Demon Sovereign Xuan Li’s strike was firm, and Yun Xie even felt that his internal organs had shifted for a moment, but he still refused to let go, hugging Jiang Xunyi tightly to his chest . As long as he knew that nothing happened to the person in his arms, even if his shoulders and back were under severe pain, he was still relieved . Burying his head into the side of Jiang Xunyi’s neck, he couldn’t help but smile .
When Jiang Xunyi first saw him, he was pleasantly surprised, but he quickly remembered the words of Demon Sovereign Xuan Li and immediately felt inexplicably awkward, so he gave Yun Xie a push .
He didn’t use much strength in the push, so Yun Xie did not let go, unmoving as he held him in his arms . Jiang Xunyi suddenly felt a little wetness on his neck . He raised his hand to feel it and brought back a palm full of blood . He finally reacted and pushed open Yun Xie’s hands and supporting him with his arm .
Anxiously, he asked, “Yun Xie, how is your injury?”
Yun Xie wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his hand and smiled . “Small injury . A’Xun, help me up, let’s finish him together . ”
Demon Sovereign Xuan Li sneered . “Yun Xie, between the two of us, it is still not clear who will be the first to die . ”
Seeing Yun Xie’s state, Jiang Xunyi’s face darkened immediately[1] . He was was obviously injured, and hearing Xuan Li still speaking cold words made his heart so furious, he snatched the Extinguished Flower sword from his hand and stabbed Demon Sovereign Xuan Li without saying a word .
It was both fierce and quick with great force, but not even mentioning normal people, even Jiang Xunyi had only wanted to vent his anger and didn’t expect that Demon Sovereign Xuan Li would actually be pierced by his sword .
What he didn’t expect even more was that the Extinguished Flower sword turned out to be broken with only half of the blade left!
In surprise, he almost forgot to pull his sword out until Demon Sovereign Xuan Li laughed wildly . He withdrew the sword, leaped back two steps with Yun Xie, and vigilantly watched the big demon boss who suddenly lost his mind .
In fact, Demon Sovereign Xuan Li was even moreso suffering but unable to speak . Although he severely injured Yun Xie at that moment, he was also seriously injured by the counter blow from his opponent . He had not yet adjusted his breath before Jiang Xunyi’s sword smashed through like thunder without giving him a chance to cushion the blow . The amount of damage could be imagined .
He laughed wildly and looked at the two people standing side by side in front of him . “This monarch has been famous for hundreds of years, who knew that I would repeatedly fall into the hands of you two stinky boys . It is really retribution… But Jiang Xunyi, two against one… don’t you think it’s unfair?”
Jiang Xunyi didn’t answer, because as the other spoke, all of Demon Sovereign Xuan Li’s joints burst like fried beans, and a burst of black air gradually poured from his body .
Jiang Xunyi cried out involuntarily, “Not good, he wants to blow himself up!”
He didn’t know what his current mood was, and all he could feel was that at this moment, he couldn’t think of the protagonist role, the mission, or even whether he would die . He just knew subconsciously that Yun Xie can’t die!
Brother, lover, mission goal… whatever the feeling was, at least in this world, Yun Xie was the only… . the only one…
Countless thoughts passed by, but the amount of time that actually passed was only enough to glance at the other . How many times had he been near death in a very dangerous situation? Jiang Xunyi was not afraid of dying . His only regret was that he would die in front of Yun Xie again, afraid of making his heart uncomfortable . .
But even if he is sad, as long as he can live, there is hope .
I’m sorry, Yun Xie…
Jiang Xunyi flew forwards, and at the same time, Xuan Li raised his hand and sent a palm out . He was pushed and blocked by Jiang Xunyi, whose fingers were as fast as lightning, temporarily sealing both his Heaven Projection and Spirit Manor[2] acupuncture points . He followed by grabbing Demon Sovereign Xuan Li and exhausting all his spiritual power to suppress the demon energy that the other party wanted to dissipate . The two of them rolled towards the cliff beside them, actually intending to die together .
Yun Xie’s injury was not light, and he was originally leaning on a tree to adjust his breath . When he saw this scene suddenly, he felt the world spin and wanted to yell for Jiang Xunyi to come back . Just as he began to use spiritual power, he vomited blood . He coughed twice and couldn’t suppress the tremor in his voice . “Don’t go…you, don’t go, I beg you…A’Xun!”
At a distance, Jiang Xunyi couldn’t hear Yun Xie’s shouting, but at this moment, he almost telepathically understood and looked back .
From a distance, Yun Xie looked anxious, and in his trance, a thought suddenly passed: Is what Demon Sovereign Xuan Li said true? This time, he wasn’t able to ask Yun Xie before he died .
At this moment, Jiang Xunyi suddenly realized that he was also reluctant to die .
As he fell rapidly, he suddenly felt that that he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, and yet Demon Sovereign Xuan Li did not move . If this is the case, he did not get killed by the self-detonation but instead fell to death first .
He originally carried the desire to die a martyr, but that was such a waste of emotions . Jiang Xunyi quickly flipped over and leaped up, smacking downwards to dispel the momentum of the fall . His clothes fluttered in the wind before gently falling on the ground .
He cast aside Xuan Li and shouted, “What the hell are you doing!”
“The one this lord wanted to kill the most is Yun Xie, but Young Master Jiang hurriedly stood up for him . How can one strike if you are like this?” Demon Sovereign Xuan Li suddenly lowered his voice . “I just didn’t expect that you would be softhearted…”
Jiang Xunyi raised his brows and looked at him warily .
Demon Sovereign Xuan Li lay on the ground, black air flowing out of his seven orifices . His voice was almost inaudible as he said, “Chen Li and your master were not killed by me… to you I truly…”

The voice stopped abruptly . In midair was another figure that had jumped down . Before the person landed, the broken sword in his hand had already flown out, impaling Xuan Li’s heart impartially, without allowing him to finish his last sentence .
Jiang Xunyi stepped forward and pulled Yun Xie away . “Yun Xie, what’s up with you, why did you follow? I finally got him… oh-“
Yun Xie’s face was sinking[3], and he waved away Jiang Xunyi’s hand, instead turning around and grabbing his shoulder before staring at him . “Jiang Xunyi, what is the meaning of this? You are planning to let me watch you die again? You want me to live when I’d rather die? How much fucking hatred is between us for you to want to treat me like this?!”
Jiang Xunyi knew that he was wrong, and some rare vulnerability showed through . “I didn’t want you to be in danger… besides, aren’t you injured?”
“What about you, so you weren’t injured? Did you know that it’s more uncomfortable for me to see you hurt than my own damn self hurt?! Oh yeah, earlier you even carried me on your back when we investigated the Flame Gate— you—” Yun Xie was so angry that he couldn’t even speak, his forehead throbbing with blue veins . Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself heavily .
With a very crisp “pa”, half of Yun Xie’s face immediately swelled .
Jiang Xunyi: “…”
Yun Xie couldn’t bear to hit Jiang Xunyi, and he hated that he didn’t protect him . Even after slapping himself, he still felt unhappy, so when he turned around and saw the corpse of Demon Sovereign Xuan Li, he kicked him again . The corpse that had been stitched by needles and thread suddenly fell apart and became a pile of remains .
Jiang Xunyi: “…”
The guilt disappeared . Jiang Xunyi felt that he was in the right, and he still couldn’t tell if Yun Xie even had a strand of hair that liked him .

Yun Xie turned his head and looked at the face in front of him . It was very familiar and yet he couldn’t get tired of looking at it . Thoughts unknown, he sighed deeply .
After a long time, his irritable mood finally calmed down, the anger in his eyes faded, and gentleness slowly began to exude from him . He whispered softly, “I didn’t mean to be angry with you, but you should know that I would rather be stabbed with a thousand swords and have an arrow pierce through my heart than have you suffer any harm… Jiang Xunyi, I like you, I have liked you for many, many years . ”
Jiang Xunyi’s lips moved, and after a long pause, he finally said, “So everything you said in the past is…”
Even though he knew it beforehand, it was still a little weird to think that this is a person who grew up with him, called a brother, and fought side by side with him only to suddenly want a role-change . “…You aren’t playing with me, right? “
“You don’t believe me?” Yun Xie took a deep breath before sneering . “I know you think I have always been babbling, never speaking the truth . But Jiang Xunyi, although I may not uphold every word I say as a promise, but think about it, have I ever lied to you? In fact, the only person who ever feels like I’m joking around is you!”
Jiang Xunyi stared at Yun Xie for a while, and unexpectedly, there was neither shock nor rage, and he couldn’t tell what he was thinking .
Yun Xie had held back for far too long, and only after he finished speaking in one breath did he realize what just happened and slow down . Thinking about what he had just said, he suddenly felt nervous and became a pile of wood, unable to even breathe . He relied on years of concentration to barely maintain his mighty and domineering facial paralysis, but in his heart, he was anxious, carefully trying to figure out Jiang Xunyi’s expression with the feeling that the other could judge his life or death with one word .
In fact, he has lived for so many years, killing decisively and acting arbitrarily . He was held up high by countless people starting from when he was still a teenager . He wasn’t someone with an anxious personality at all . But he had no other way: he just liked Jiang Xunyi so much, so much, so much that he becomes humble .
