Chapter 704: Where Are You Running?
Leader of the Green God Path... respectfully welcomes the return of the Red Dust Lord.
Yao Qing did not say his own name.
He stood there quietly, his head buried deep, not even daring to look Su Zhiwei in the eye. At this moment, he was trying his best to restrain himself. If he saw Su Zhiwei’s eyes, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to help himself and would reveal the truth...
So, he just looked at the shattered reflection on the water, appearing respectful and humble.
He was too old.
For these three hundred years, Yao Qing had been able to see Su Zhiwei every day, but Su Zhiwei’s impression of him was still stuck three hundred years ago. At that time, he was still a young man of about twenty, full of spirit...
But now?
His face was full of wrinkles, his body was covered in age spots, and those hideous blood holes pierced his body, making him look like a disgusting monster... Such a person was not worthy of being "Yao Qing."
Rather than letting Su Zhiwei meet him like this, it was better to let "Yao Qing" become a thing of the past forever, remaining in Su Zhiwei’s heart in his most perfect image;
As for himself...
Well,
Anyway, he was going to die soon, right?
"Leader of the Green God Path..." Su Zhiwei muttered these words, surprise flashing in her eyes.
She could feel that although the old man before her was at the end of his rope, he truly possessed a demigod-level aura. So, the Green God Path had also produced a demigod in this era?
Su Zhiwei examined the old man, trying to see his face clearly, but the latter’s spine became more and more hunched, and she could never see him clearly.
"Lord Red Dust Lord." The aged figure suddenly spoke,
"Lord Wuji led the Sorcery Association to launch a fierce attack on the Red Dust Realm, attempting to erase you in your sleep ahead of time. They even used millions of citizens of my Red Dust Realm to refine Philosopher’s Stones, seeking their own immortality...
Now I am severely injured and dying, unable to fight again. I beg Lord Red Dust Lord... to take revenge for us."
"Lou Yu?!"
Hearing this, Su Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then, as if remembering something, the anger in her eyes gradually ignited.
She looked around, and everywhere she looked, there were burning houses and collapsed ruins... Just a moment ago, she was wondering what kind of disaster the Red Dust Realm had encountered, but she hadn't expected it to be single-handedly instigated by Lord Wuji?
He wanted to kill me?!
"It’s him... I knew it, it must be him!!"
In Su Zhiwei’s mind, the nuclear strike against her more than three hundred years ago surfaced. Some suspicions that had long been buried in her heart were verified. The killing intent at the level of the Nine Lords almost condensed into substance, spreading to the surroundings, and a terrifying pressure shrouded the entire street!
The puddle rippled, and pale hair swayed lightly in the wind. The hunched old man was silent for a long time before speaking again:
"He now seems to want to escape the Red Dust Realm. He is betting that you won't leave here..."
"Lord Red Dust Lord, you should go."
Su Zhiwei’s fists gradually clenched. She turned her head, her gaze locked on the direction of Lord Wuji’s escape...
"I understand." Cold killing intent drifted from the corners of Su Zhiwei’s mouth, her voice seeming to come from the netherworld. "Today, he absolutely cannot leave."
"Take care of yourself, old man... is leaving."
The old man took a deep breath, his hunched body turning slowly. The moment he was about to leave, he still raised his head, looked at Su Zhiwei gently, and then walked away in the opposite direction, stumbling...
Under the ink-black clouds, the aged figure was like withered grass in the wind, walking alone toward a place where no one was.
Su Zhiwei was stunned. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but just now, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see that the old man’s eyes were filled with tears... That look, just for a second, seemed to contain too much.
Su Zhiwei’s brow furrowed involuntarily. She didn't take this matter to heart and stepped forward to chase in the direction Lord Wuji had left.
But just as she took a step, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
For some reason, the scene from just a moment ago flashed through her mind... The old man had cupped his hands and bowed deeply. Even though his skin was full of wrinkles, there were thick calluses on the joints of his long, slender fingers.
That position was too tricky; it was hard for ordinary people to develop calluses there, and yet she happened to know someone who had the same hands.
Su Zhiwei’s pupils contracted slightly!
"...Yao Qing?"
She muttered uncertainly and turned back abruptly, only to find that there was no one left on the ruined street, leaving only desolation and loneliness.
Su Zhiwei was stunned. She already had a guess in her heart, but she couldn't believe it... And now, she didn't know where the old man had gone. Finally, she could only cast her gaze in the direction Lord Wuji had left.
She knew how to confirm it.
"Lou Yu...!!"
Su Zhiwei’s fists clenched tightly. She took a deep breath,
The next moment, dense ripples spread out from beneath her, and her entire body actually melted into the void, as if she had turned into an energy body like moonlight, and vanished into thin air!
……
A silver radiance streaked across the earth like lightning!
Wherever this silver light passed, a long silver mark was left on the ground, as if the earth had been transformed into some kind of highly magnetic substance. Lord Wuji’s body glowed with a faint white light, flying and streaking almost against the ground, like a high-speed maglev train.
His speed was so fast that he even broke the sound barrier. A visible shockwave rose up beside him, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed most of the Red Dust Realm.
Even at such high-speed flight, Lord Wuji’s body was not affected in the slightest. Even his eyes had been transformed into an unknown material, like crystals glowing with a faint blue light... In the reflection of these crystals, the edge of the Red Dust Realm was approaching rapidly.
He was about to leave Su Zhiwei’s domain!
Lord Wuji’s eyes narrowed, and those blue-glowing pupils erupted with an even more dazzling brilliance, his speed soaring again!
One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds!
Lord Wuji had pushed his current usable speed to the limit, but the edge of the Red Dust Realm seemed to keep its distance from him forever. No matter how he moved forward, it just hovered there like a static image...
Lord Wuji’s brow furrowed tightly. He keenly sensed that something was wrong and looked up at the sky abruptly!
A palm, incomparably huge, was slowly lifting from above the sky. Behind it was a cold and angry face, like a giant Buddha in the universe looking down at the Earth. With just a gentle lift of the hand, it could flick the marble-sized planet into pieces!
Lord Wuji’s pupils contracted sharply!
The Red Dust Lord couldn't be that big, nor could she destroy the Earth with a flip of her hand, so...
Lord Wuji seemed to realize something and looked around in astonishment. At some point, the vast land he was on had actually begun to curl up, like a flower petal floating in the air...
Lord Wuji, who was inside it, was like Sun Wukong in the palm of the Buddha; no matter what, he couldn't break free!
He and the Red Dust Realm had both been forcibly ascended in dimension...
No, that’s not right!
It was the Red Dust Lord... who had descended her dimension!
Not only this area, but even the other major areas of the Red Dust Realm were gradually standing up and gathering, like layers of flower petals intertwined, dancing in the boundless void.
That was a red flower.
This red flower drifted gently in the air, finally landing in the palm of Su Zhiwei’s slender hand, swaying silently... A realm was held in her palm.
"Lou Yu." The Red Dust Lord looked down at Lord Wuji, who was the size of a grain of sand, and spoke faintly,
"Where... can you run to?"
