I make a contract with myself

Chapter 440 The End of a Passionate Lover

“Huff… huff…”

After another battle, Sun Yan was exhausted.

Apart from Qingtian and the old tortoise, all the other elves have returned to the Spirit Realm and are currently resting and sleeping.

Feng Chu is the most pitiful; everyone is targeting her, and she's exhausted now.

This leads us to say that the human heart is treacherous.

Seeing that another group was about to arrive, Sun Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Change people, I'm going to rest for a while."

Substitution?

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

Xuan Che turned his head and asked, "Can we change people?"

Fan Wuji said expressionlessly, "After he finished his match, he should have been replaced. He only played a series of matches with you guys because it was profitable."

Jun Wuzhi frowned: "Can we designate him to play?"

Fan Wuji nodded in agreement, then quickly changed the subject: "But he can refuse... Heh, when has this kid ever had any shame?"

Therefore, the initiative was entirely in Sun Yan's hands, and they had no chance of winning from the very beginning.

No, that's not right either. Actually, there is.

It was only because of the addition of Feng Chu as a variable that he was able to fight three opponents without being at a disadvantage. Otherwise, any elder at the eighth level of the Spirit Realm could have easily subdued this kid.

Alternatively, send out a strong opponent of equal strength to defeat him fair and square.

However, Feng Chu's strength is indeed far beyond that of others of the same level.

Furthermore, Sun Yan himself is not weak, and the two work together seamlessly. Without a cultivation level of the ninth grade of the Spirit Realm, it would be impossible to suppress them.

"Sun Yan, keep shooting, this time I'll give you a good gun." Jun Wuzhi tried to lure him with benefits.

"You're sick." Sun Yan said dismissively.

If the fight continues, he will surely die.

Although they won't kill him, they certainly have ways to force him to obey, provided he is crippled and at their mercy.

When Sun Yan stepped out of the barrier, Liu Xian, Mu Nian, and An Suxin quickly stepped forward to protect him.

Zai and Zhu watched intently from the sidelines, their eyes fixed on Xuan Che and Jun Wuzhi.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei were heartbroken watching from outside. They ran to Sun Yan's shoulder early on and saw the various wounds on his body. They were immediately distressed and their eyes filled with tears.

"Okay, it just looks a little terrible. You'll be fine after some rest, don't cry~"

Sun Yan comforted his two daughters in return, feeling a warmth in his heart.

After receiving such meticulous care from his wives, his heart was not just warmed, his soul almost floated away.

If it weren't for the current mess and the external threats, Sun Yan would have long since lived the happy ending of a novel protagonist.

How wonderful it is for a family to live together in harmony and happiness.

Sun Yan was surrounded by women on his left and right, and his daughter was petting a rabbit together.

Unfortunately, Mu Nian walked over at an inopportune moment after only a short rest.

She asked Xia Ling'er, "Are you going to go on stage?"

Xia Ling'er turned her head blankly, looking puzzled: "What does this have to do with me? I don't have any enemies."

Mu Nian was silent for a moment, then said, "Xiao Ming of the Dao Court."

Xia Ling'er said calmly, "He's no different from a cripple now, he won't live much longer anyway, so there's no point in killing him."

Sun Yan pointed to the opposite side: "But he's provoking you."

Xia Ling'er turned her head and looked at him, her face full of question marks.

No, is that guy crazy?

The main character today is my own man. If anyone should be fighting, it should be him. Why is he relentlessly targeting me?

Xia Ling'er was extremely puzzled, so she accepted Xiao Ming's challenge and stepped onto the life-or-death arena with doubts in her heart.

"Are you tired of living?"

"Ah."

Xiao Ming nodded calmly, his heart already dead.

"One glimpse of a beautiful woman and you're doomed for life"—this single line encapsulates his entire life.

Once a prodigy, he lost his pride, his future, and gave up everything, but he could never win her favor.

Even just once, just once would be enough...

However, time and again, Zhou Yueying remained steadfast, and each refusal was decisive and straightforward.

Xiao Ming can't go back to the past, can't see the future, and is troubled by his inner demons. What's the point of living?

It's better to die sooner rather than later.

However, one should always have a moment of glory before dying.

Xiao Ming was willing to burn his life force and use forbidden secret techniques to complete this final battle.

What will happen when all the spirit powers of a spirit master are fused together and reside in the spirit master's body?

The spirit user himself will die, and the process is irreversible.

Before he falls, he will gain unparalleled power.

Xia Ling'er felt the pressure.

She said irritably, "If you want a dramatic death, why did you come to me?"

Xiao Ming did not answer, but only continued to attack.

Helpless, Xia Ling'er switched from offense to defense, using the spatial power of the Flash Spirit to buy as much time as possible.

This is a life-threatening technique. He wants to die, so I won't stop him, but he shouldn't try to drag me down with him either.

Just as our happy little life was starting to look promising, we can't let it end here.

We'll do anything to survive!

Gu Xuanzi asked in confusion, "She seems to have the bearing of an old friend. Is she your disciple?"

Mu Nian shook her head.

His gaze swept past the Azure Glass Sword God; this one was even less likely.

So, there's only one option...

Sun Yan gritted his teeth: "What? You expect two different kinds of people to sleep in the same bed?"

After saying that, he turned to Fan Wuji and asked, "He's still your junior disciple, aren't you going to lend a hand?"

Fan Wuji said calmly, "Life and death are predestined. This is the path he chose, and no one else can interfere... Besides, Ling'er is my grand-disciple."

"So it was internal strife."

Fan Wuji's lips twitched, and he simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

Conflicts always need to be resolved, but some conflicts cannot be resolved simply by talking; even if he intervenes, he can only mediate.

Demanding that both sides shake hands and make peace is only a temporary solution and will only lead to renewed fighting.

If it were really that simple, would there be any need to set up a life-or-death arena?

Clearly, for practitioners, distinguishing between superiors and inferiors, and deciding life and death, is the best way to resolve conflicts.

In order to be the one who survives, Xia Ling'er is very cautious and avoids any fight.

Xiao Mingkong possessed immense strength, but he couldn't hit anyone; it was useless.

"He can really run, just as fast as before..."

Xiao Ming sighed helplessly, at a loss for what to do.

Xia Ling'er remained silent, only trying to keep her distance.

Xiao Ming decided to stop chasing and instead gathered his strength, intending to end the battle with a single area-of-effect attack.

At the same time, he ended his own life.

However, Xia Ling'er wasn't stupid; she wouldn't give him that chance.

Shining is indeed agile, but unfortunately, its combat strength is inferior to that of other elves.

For example, Obsidian Dragon, Deep Sea Devouring Kun, and Netherworld Qilin are three spirits, each capable of standing alone.

The three spirits didn't get close; they just kept casting spells from a distance, continuously attacking Xiao Ming, being very cautious.

Xiao Ming gave a wry smile, spread the wings that appeared behind him, and then shattered the sky with one foot, rushing towards the three elves.

Space Guardian!

The Shining flapped its wings, tearing open a spatial rift and folding it into three shields, which it placed in front of the three spirits.

Xiao Ming laughed heartily, completely ignoring the situation.

During his attack, his body gradually disintegrated, transforming into several phantom images of elves that forcefully shattered the spatial shield, severely injuring the three spirits.

There were three other phantom figures. One rushed towards Xia Ling'er, but was dodged by Shan Ling. The human and the spirit suffered minor scratches.

The second illusory figure flew out of the barrier, transforming into a ball of light that hovered in front of Fan Wuji. It was his guilt and apology to the sect, all of which were transformed into insights into forbidden secret techniques, leaving a legacy for future generations.

The last illusory figure appeared before Zhou Yueying.

"I love you."

"And I don't regret it."
