Chapter 122 Large-scale Mysterious Shopping Mall (26)

From others' perspectives, that enormous, shadowy figure was blurry and indistinct, like a looming shadow, its true form impossible to discern. But in An Jing's eyes, it was entirely different.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Her mental power, like a penetrating light, forcefully tore through the void and darkness, allowing her to see the truth.

The shape of that thing was clearly presented in her eyes.

It was unimaginably enormous, its body seemingly woven from countless chaotic lines, flesh and shadows, twisted into an indescribable, grotesque silhouette.

Every inch of space trembled, as if even heaven and earth could not bear its weight. There were no fixed faces, only ever-changing faces, emerging from the shadows and disappearing again, crying, screaming, whispering, roaring, as if countless souls had been forcibly crammed into an unbearable cage.

An Jing felt a sudden chill in his heart.

She could see it clearly, and therefore realized even more acutely how insignificant she was in its presence, like an ant that could be crushed at will.

My throat tightened involuntarily, and I swallowed hard.

How to do?
How to do? !

Her mind raced, but she couldn't come up with any possible solution.

Escape? Absolutely impossible. The entire area is under the control of this mysterious creature; all exits are blocked by shadows, and even the light is swallowed up.

War? That's absurd. Their mere pressure was already pushing them to the brink of collapse, let alone fighting against them.

For the first time, An Jing felt so powerless.

Are they all going to die here?
Her chest was so constricted that she could hardly breathe, and she couldn't even muster a shred of fighting spirit; all that remained in her heart was naked fear.

The system's voice rang out sharply at that moment, trembling with madness:
An Jing!!! You're really finished!

This mysterious creature is the legendary S-rank!

[Even if there were dozens more top-tier ability users, let alone just the five of you, they still wouldn't be a match for it!]

[With nowhere to run and nowhere to fight, you... are beyond saving!]

The system's roar echoed in An Jing's mind like a final death knell.

S-rank, no wonder.

No wonder An Jinglian didn't have the courage to fight.

She hated herself for trying to escape without even fighting.

But she's so tired. She already knows the ending. Should she still resist?

Her special ability was mental power, and mental power is the best way to sense the pressure and power of the other party. That power was so strong that it was beyond the scope of human comprehension. She even felt that if she stared at it for a moment longer, she would be crushed to pieces.

I am afraid……

Today, they are really going to die here.

This despairing realization made her fingers cold, her back stiff, and her breathing tremble.

He Lin was also very clear about this.

Her gaze showed no panic, but she slowly turned around, shielding An Jing, You Xin, and Dong Qing behind her.

Her back looked incredibly resolute at that moment.

At that moment, An Jing was stunned.

He Lin didn't say anything more, just stood there quietly, like a cold and solid barrier. Knowing that she couldn't resist it at all, she still chose to use her own body to block the terror that was enough to destroy everything.

This quiet courage is more profound than any roar.

"If you want to escape, it's okay to hide for a while."

He Lin simply smiled and said this to them.

An Jing felt a sudden pang of sadness in her chest, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Why do I feel like crying?

But then I suddenly realized that dying together with everyone wouldn't be so bad.

Her parents will be proud of her. When she goes down to see Teacher Li and Luo Chuan, she will have the courage to tell them that although she did not live up to their kindness in saving her life, she died to save many people!

Before they could say anything, the enormous, mysterious creature moved.

Its distorted outline trembled slightly, and the entire space roared, the air shook, the floor cracked, as if it were about to swallow everything.

An Jing's heart leaped into her throat, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

She instinctively knew this was a sign of death.

The next moment, they would be completely torn to shreds. "It's over..."

She was on the verge of a complete breakdown.

But at this moment.

A blinding golden light suddenly pierced the darkness!

It was an extremely dazzling light that instantly pierced through the suffocating shadow. The light descended from the sky like a deity, carrying an irresistible power.

boom--!
A giant golden sword cleaved down from the sky!
The sword's edge was incomparably sharp, its force like thunder. With a single strike, it cleaved the enormous, mysterious creature that cast a shadow of death over everyone in two!

The eerie scream, piercing and shrill, sounded like the simultaneous wailing of millions of souls, shaking the entire area. Then, its form gradually dissipated, the darkness was banished, and the shadows vanished.

In a mere instant, the S-class mystery that had driven everyone to despair was completely annihilated.

Just one hit.

Dead silence.

The entire area was eerily quiet.

An Jing froze, completely rooted to the spot, even forgetting to breathe.

She was a little stunned.

Did that being really... die?

who is it?

Who made the move that could annihilate the terrifying S-class mystery with such a single strike?
Her heart pounded, and the next moment she realized that she knew who had come.

A surge of intense emotion welled up in my chest, and I was about to call out the other person's name.

However, at this moment.

puff--

An Jing was stunned.

The scene before her eyes suddenly froze.

He Lin's body jolted suddenly.

A golden longsword pierced her chest without warning.

Blood gushed from between the blades, staining her clothes red.

A look of astonishment appeared in He Lin's eyes. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the long sword that had completely pierced through her, as if she couldn't understand what had happened.

Then, she smiled slightly.

He Lin reached out and suddenly pulled You Xin and An Jing into a tight embrace. Her embrace was warm, but it quickly grew cold.

Her voice came softly, carrying a sense of tranquility and relief:

"Don't blame her...don't blame her..."

Her eyes were gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were comforting the child behind her.

The next moment, her body gradually lost strength, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly drooped.

And just like that, he closed his eyes forever.

An Jing hadn't reacted yet.

She froze, her eyes blank, and it seemed as if all around her had suddenly gone silent.

But her body trembled uncontrollably, as if a chill was rising from her very bones.

She suddenly remembered Chi Chen's words.

"I will do something that will make me feel guilty."

With a loud bang, it felt as if my heart was being ripped apart.

why?
why? !

Why do this?

She couldn't understand it, she just couldn't understand it at all.

Tears blurred her vision, her voice was so hoarse it was almost breaking, and she squeezed out one trembling question after another from her throat.

"Why!"
