Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

Chapter 124 Unable to Rest

"Aren't you going to bed yet? Qianye..."

Looking at Qianye standing on the top of the mountain, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang asked. After hearing True Lord's words, Qianye turned around again. Looking at True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, Qianye said tiredly:

"It's not that I don't want to sleep, but I can't sleep..."

"Really?"

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang looked at Qianye's exhausted appearance and his face half covered by scales. He had now completely confirmed Qianye's condition. If he had only suspected it before, then now he had confirmed it...

And Qianye seemed to have expected this, he also laughed.

"It seems that I can't hide it from you, True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang, just like I can't hide it from True Lord Li Shui Die Shan. You are just as hard to deceive. I have always been very clear about my physical condition..."

Listening to Qianye's words, Master Xueyue Zhuyang patted Qianye's shoulder earnestly. Then he said encouragingly:

"Has the pollution reached such a serious level? Sigh... Actually, you can hold on for a while longer. Although I don't know the whereabouts of the Emperor now, the Emperor must have his considerations. He should be dealing with some invisible enemies. As long as the Emperor handles the matters at hand."

"He will be here soon. The news has already been sent to Liyue Harbor and Lisha Suburb. The Emperor's signature star has appeared. He should have returned to Liyue..."

Looking at Master Xueyue Zhuyang, who still thought that Emperor Yanwang had returned, Qianye shook his head. Then, he smiled sadly.

"In fact, I was the one who did those things. During my stay in Liyue, I specifically asked the Emperor for advice. And he was indeed generous and directly taught me how to use the Heavenly Star. The level of his teaching far exceeded that of the Wind God Barbatos..."

“Is that so? It was you who defeated Ba Che that day, and it was also you who sealed the Layered Abyss…”

After understanding what happened, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang no longer had any hope. His original hope that the Emperor would return and heal Qianye was shattered. Looking at Qianye, he was filled with sadness...

When will the Emperor return? This is not a short time, he may return tomorrow. Or it may be longer, but the important thing is. Qianye can't hold on for that long. At this time, Qianye has been here for five days. In the past five days, he has been fighting against the monsters in Liyue without eating or drinking...

There was not even a break. The pain was unimaginable and unfathomable unless you experienced it yourself. Qianye was like this, he had always insisted on doing all this. He silently endured the pain brought by the pollution and insisted that his mind was not polluted...

Even when facing anyone, Qianye had always been hiding things. Only when he couldn't hide anything anymore would he answer truthfully, like when facing the True Lord Lishui Dieshan. Or, in other words, when facing the True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang now...

"So what are you going to do? Just keep it a secret from Ping and Liuyun?"

Listening to Master Xueyue Zhuyang's words, Qianye sat down. Then he patted the grass beside him, signaling Master Xueyue Zhuyang to come over and sit down. Master Xueyue Zhuyang also sat down without any thoughts...

Looking at the still bright moon in the distance, Qianye smiled. Then, he slowly spoke.

"Yes, I plan to keep it a secret. At least, I don't want to see anyone feel sad because of my situation."

"But, as an elder, I will be deeply saddened by your sacrifice. Even the Emperor will be sad for losing a student like you. And, I know that you have met with the Dragon King Ruotuo. If he knew about you, he would definitely go crazy..."

Listening to the words of Master Xueyue Zhuyang, Qianye suddenly had no good ideas. What he didn't want to see the most was other people being sad or upset because of his own affairs. Therefore, he had been hiding his physical condition. Even to the point of deceiving...

However, there are always some people he can't fool. With his current physical condition, once he meets the Ruotuo Dragon King, he will be able to detect something strange in an instant. He can't even fool the True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang and the True Lord Lishui Dieshan...

After thinking about many things, Qianye finally lay down on the grass. Looking at the still twinkling stars and the beautiful night sky, Qianye spoke again...

"Someone has to make the sacrifice. That person can be me. It can be other Yakshas, ​​mortals, immortals, or even gods. They are all willing to make the sacrifice, so why can't that person be me?"

"You are still very young and cannot be compared with us. The years we have experienced are longer than you can imagine. We have experienced all the ups and downs in life. If possible, I would even be willing to exchange my life for your survival..."

Listening to Master Xueyue Zhuyang's words, Qianye had no doubts. If there was really a way to save himself, then Master Xueyue Zhuyang would choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation. If he had to sacrifice some mortal lives to save himself, Master Xueyue Zhuyang might not do it...

But his master would definitely do it, because in their eyes, Qianye's life and death is more important than those of ordinary people. Or, if Qianye goes back to Inazuma and says that he wants to use other people's lives to heal himself, then there will be countless people willing to sacrifice their lives...

However, this was not possible. Firstly, there was no way to save Qianye. Secondly, Qianye himself was unwilling to use such an evil and unorthodox method to prolong his life.

If Qianye used it, could he still be called a human being? Therefore, Qianye was unwilling to do so.

Turning around, Qianye looked at Master Xueyue Zhuyang who was still sitting there and spoke again.

"Master, one life cannot be compared with another. Perhaps to some people, I am very important. Far more important than other mortals, but what about mortals? Their lives are only a hundred years, and my life was also a hundred years at the beginning. I have never thought about immortality..."

"Because, if I were to become immortal, I would become even more greedy, wanting my relatives and friends to be like me. So, in the end, I gave up on immortality. And this is only the first point. The second point is..."

Sitting up again, Qianye looked at the mortals who were constantly patrolling outside the tent. There were countless Qianyan troops fighting on various small fronts, or more mortals who were still trying to survive. Qianye continued

"Humans may be humble or fragile, but they will never be slaves forever. They will only fight and become stronger from generation to generation. They are strong as if it were their instinct. One thing I have always firmly believed in is that they will definitely grow up to be able to withstand everything on their own..."

“You may not be able to see the result.”

Listening to the sad words of Master Xueyue Zhuyang, Qianye shook his head. Then, he looked at Inazuma in the distance again and said:

"Sometimes the result is not important, what is important is the process. Passing on your achievements and efforts to future generations is how humans pass on from generation to generation. Humans are really amazing..."

"So, you are determined to sacrifice yourself?"

Turning his head to look at Master Xueyue Zhuyang, Qianye did not answer his question. Because he had already proved this question with his actual actions. Then, Qianye smiled and said

"As for my affairs, I hope you can keep them secret. Don't tell Master Liuyun Jiefeng and the others, or anyone else you know. Just let me leave quietly by myself. I don't want them to be sad because of me..."

"Okay, I'll keep this a secret for you."

Looking at Qianye who had already made up his mind, Master Xueyue Zhuyang knew that he could no longer stop him. This man was just like that.

Chapter 125 The Threat from Ruotuo Dragon King

After finishing his conversation with Master Xueyue Zhuyang, Qianye once again rushed to various battlefields. Countless mortals were saved, and countless mortals were sacrificed. Qianye was not always able to arrive at the right time like this time, just in time to arrive when the monsters were unable to break through the defense...

In the process of rescue, there are also many accusations. There are also many praises and affirmations, or thanks. Such incidents, such as the accusations of a teenager whose entire family died.

"Why? Why did you come so late? If you had just come a little earlier, you could have prevented all this from happening. Why?"

"Asshole, you are just an asshole who took advantage of the opportunity to gain military merit."

…………

Qianye didn't dwell on the insults. He didn't even bother to pay attention to them because he was too busy. There were countless battles that needed his help, more or less. People were sacrificing and fighting desperately. Qianye couldn't dwell on the insults of others...

Even if he felt sad, he couldn't stop to think. If he thought for a moment, the evil thoughts in his mind would erode him even more. Karma, worship of gods, remnants of demon gods, pollution from the abyss, these things were always trying to drag Qianye into the abyss of depravity...

Therefore, in order to maintain his sanity, Qianye could not stay any longer. His obsession made him keep fighting to protect the living people, villages and other things. He let the infamy and praise be left behind.

After once again eliminating the monsters in a battle zone, Qianye was exhausted. He had been fighting for five consecutive days without eating or drinking. He didn't even have a moment to rest, just to lie down for a while. Qianye could recover some of his strength, but he couldn't...

Looking at the Fulong Tree in front of him, Qianye was slightly stunned. At this moment, his thoughts returned to the scene of fighting with the Ruotuo Dragon King a year ago. Countless rocks fell from the sky, and he fought hard against them. In the end, he won his recognition with his will...

It has been a long time since I last met Ruotuo Dragon King. I wonder if he is okay? Will he blame me for my sacrifice? Do I really want to meet him?

After thinking about it, Qianye finally decided to give up this idea. Meeting with Ruotu Dragon King again? This sounds like a good decision, but Qianye doesn't want him to see his current miserable state.

"Alas... Ruotuo Dragon King, I hope you can forgive me. I really don't want you to see me like this. Time will dilute everything. Just pretend that I don't exist..."

As he said this, Qianye sighed heavily. As if he was reluctant to leave, he took a deep look at the hole of the Fulong tree. Then he wanted to leave without looking back, but...

"Come back. If you still consider us friends, come to me immediately..."

A heavy sigh accompanied by a roar came from the hole at the bottom of the Fulong tree, which made Qianye extremely painful. He didn't want to meet Ruotuo Dragon King again, just because of his current state. He was completely unable to accept his ugly appearance, even though Qianye acted so calm and composed in front of others...

In fact, if he was a normal person, he would not be able to remain calm after seeing his own monstrous face. Qianye even sometimes did not dare to look at himself on the water. How pathetic and disgusting was he...

Just when Qianye wanted to pretend he didn't hear anything and leave, the roar of Ruotuo Dragon King once again reached Qianye's ears.

"I told you to come back! Didn't you hear me, you bastard?!"

"No, Ruotuo Dragon King... I really... don't want you to see me in such a state of disgrace..."

Listening to Qianye's words, the Ruotuo Dragon King, who was already on the verge of rage, became angry again. The runaway Ruotuo Dragon King had already begun to hit the seal without hesitation, and the seal made a crisp sound like glass when its huge body hit it. Even the golden seal began to crack...

Suddenly, the ground shook and cracks began to appear on the ground. Small earthquakes began to occur all around the Fulong Tree, and Qianye sighed helplessly when he saw this scene.

Then, Qianye spoke again.

"King Ruotuo, why are you doing this? Not only are you unable to break the seal now, but you will even get hurt when you hit the seal, leaving yourself covered in scars. Is this... really worth it?"

The seal was constantly struck, and the earth was shaking. Cracks were constantly appearing on the ground, and the entire Fulong Tree was shaking non-stop. Ruotuo Dragon King roared angrily.

"If you don't come to me today, I will not stop even if I am covered in wounds or even die in the seal!"

"Even if it will harm Liyue, the city you have been protecting, and damage the leylines, will you continue?"

"I am willing to do so! You must appear in front of me today!"

Listening to the roar of the Ruotu Dragon King, Qianye was speechless. He was about to step towards the hole of the Fulong Tree, but when he saw the reflection in the small puddle on the ground, Qianye was stunned. What came into his eyes was a terrifying face. It was completely different from the familiar face of the past, only the half face covered by disgusting scales...

How could I accept such a face appearing around my friends when I have always maintained a cool image? Thinking of this, Qianye's eyes showed a trace of struggle. In the end, Qianye turned his head without hesitation.

The Ruotuo Dragon King, who sensed that Qianye wanted to leave, became even more furious. He was already out of control and was now attacking the seal with all his might. However, all this could not stop Qianye from leaving. Sensing that Qianye was about to leave the Fulong Tree, the Ruotuo Dragon King roared.

“Qianye! If you don’t come to see me today, no matter how long it takes, as soon as I break the seal, I will indiscriminately destroy Liyue, other countries, and Inazuma. Even if I have to die under the sword of the gods, I will not hesitate! At this moment, the heaven and earth are witnesses, the sun and the moon are witnesses. I, the Wada Dragon King, will definitely do what I say!”

Listening to the threat from the Dragon King Ruotuo, Qianye's expression was completely trembling. This oath must be fulfilled. Use the heaven and earth as proof, and the sun and the moon as witnesses of this heart. This is an irresistible contract, if Morax's contract is that you can only defeat him.

You may be able to successfully escape the backlash of the contract and use the heaven and earth and the sun and the moon to prove it. Then, it is no longer a question of whether you can escape or not. As long as you make a vow, you must do it...

At this moment, Ruotuo Dragon King was not only threatening Qianye, but also using his own life as a threat to countless mortals. If Qianye left like this...

Then, when Ruotuo Dragon King breaks the seal in the future, he will definitely take action and do everything he said. Qianye has no doubt about this, but if he says that Ruotuo Dragon King can really do all this, Qianye does not believe it, and he will definitely be killed on the way...

At least, after seeing the destruction that Ruotuo Dragon King had done, Ming Shen would definitely want to kill him to the death, which was what Qianye could not accept the most.

(To be continued in the next chapter)

Chapter 126: Meeting Ruotuo Dragon King Again

"Oh...Okay, I'll come right over."

After Qianye's words fell, the trembling earth also stopped at this moment. Ruotuo Dragon King just sat quietly in the seal, but the seal had already appeared some tiny cracks.

Looking at the familiar Fulong tree, Qianye's thoughts once again went back to a year ago. At that time, Qianye accompanied Zhongli and Wendy. But now...

There was no one around Qianye, and it was not like the relaxed and happy days when he accompanied Ruotuo Dragon King in his training. At this moment, there was only endless fatigue in Qianye's eyes. All the feedback from the battle and the consumption appeared on Qianye's face at this moment...

When he stepped into the entrance of the Fulong tree cave, Qianye seemed to hear many voices again.

[“Ruotuo Dragon King, what are you going to teach me today?”

"I will teach you how to use the rock element, and I guarantee that you will win the battle against Morax."

"Alas, the rock element is too useless. It's not useful at all. I don't want to learn it anymore..."

"If you want to learn, then learn. If you don't want to learn, then get out. I won't indulge you at all..."

"Is today's wine delicious? I added sunset fruit concentrate, and I really like the sour and sweet taste."

"You idiot, of course the wine has to be the strongest and spiciest to taste good."

"Don't worry, I'll give you some."

"Asshole, you ruined my wine. I'm going to kill you!"

"Hahaha, you can't hit me, you can't hit me, you can't hit me."】

Memories, like the afterimages of the past, constantly entangled Qianye's thoughts and troubled his soul. While shaking his head, Qianye regained consciousness.

"Alas... the beautiful past is gradually fading away."

Talking to himself, Qianye adjusted his state again. Even though his state was extremely bad, Qianye still didn't want to show his weakness in front of his friends. Just as he didn't want to make them sad, Qianye had to maintain his toughness and invincible figure...

Soon, Qianye stepped into the seal. Looking at the familiar Ruotuo Dragon King, the Ruotuo Dragon King in front of him had already had cracks all over his forehead and shoulders because of his desperate attack on the seal. After seeing Qianye.

An incarnation emerged from the crack of the seal, and Ruotuo Dragon King looked down at Qianye and said:

"Today, I am here to fulfill what I said to you a year ago."

Listening to the words of Ruo Tuo Dragon King, Qian Ye seemed to have thought of something. A year ago, he once said that he wanted to kill himself. Was this what he was referring to?

Thinking of this, Qianye also became alert. He absolutely could not die at this moment, as he had almost completed the affairs of Liyue. Now only Mondstadt was left, and he could do more for his hometown before he died. Qianye was willing to do so...

Looking at the Ruotuo Dragon King who had already revealed his killing intent, Qianye did not ask why. Because he knew that the Ruotuo Dragon King must have thought of a way to save him. But how long would it take?

Qianye didn't know, because the longer time passed, the less he could accomplish. Mond's friends... Godless Mondry. Rustan, Chris, Alendrin, Roland. They would definitely encounter an unprecedented crisis under this disaster. Some people would even die in the battle with the monsters. And Qianye, he would never let such a tragedy happen before his eyes...

Perhaps, Qianye could choose to accept the help of the Ruotu Dragon King. He had done his best, in terms of sacrifice. He had made a sacrifice that other humans could not match in their entire lives. Perhaps only the sacrifice of the gods could be compared to Qianye's...

During this period, in order to ensure their own safety, they temporarily stopped helping Mond and let them face it on their own. This is all understandable, isn't it?

However, Qianye's character is destined. He is not the kind of person who only cares about himself and doesn't care about anything else. He is destined to think about saving more people. He can save most people, but he can't save himself...

Resolute in his thoughts, Qianye looked up. It was as if he could see through the cave and the rocks, and the words like a demon kept echoing in his heart.

They must not...must not die. You have to wait for me and hold on for a while. I will come to help you soon. You must hold on until the last moment...

Qianye looked at Ruotuo Dragon King again, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes. Then, he asked with a slightly sad tone:
