"Master..."
Jing Liu didn't care about the tense confrontation. She hugged him tightly and asked as if begging:
"You, you're okay, right? Tell me you're okay!"
"Jingliu... Those who fall into the devil's shadow will have their six senses turned upside down and all human relations lost. You should be very clear about this."
"No, I don't believe it. Master, you are just tired. You will be fine after a good sleep. Just take a good sleep..."
"I'm sorry, but I don't have much time."
Jinyun glanced at the countdown on the UI. There were only ten minutes left before the round would end.
This is the last round. After ten minutes, Mirror Flow’s development is completely over, and his fate with this digital character ends here.
He has been thinking about what the "shackles" of the hidden bond mission are.
It was not until just now in Cangcheng, after he listened to Jingliu's inner thoughts, that he realized that the other party's "shackles" were himself.
Jing Liu always thought in her heart, "As long as Master is still here, I can live without worries." Even if they died together after just a few decades, she would have no regrets.
After a long time of getting along, Jingliu loved and admired him as a close friend, but at the same time, he also became an invisible obstacle to his "kendo".
The reason for the obstacle is very simple.
He is "too strong".
Jingliu took him as his target and practiced hard to catch up with him, just like climbing over one towering mountain after another.
However, this mountain was too difficult to climb. Every time she thought she had reached the top, she would look up and find that she was still halfway up the mountain.
Gradually, Jingliu became afraid.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried or how determined she was, she would never be able to catch up with Jinyun, or even get any closer to him.
Jinyun’s excessive power became her inner demon.
Once her inner demon arises, it will be difficult for her to improve her swordsmanship.
The only way to eliminate this inner demon is to let her defeat herself.
Not just swordsmanship, but determination.
Jinyun wants to let Jingliu know that this barrier can be broken.
The mountain that had blocked her way for more than a decade could be climbed.
So he arranged a death for himself.
He seeks [abundance] and asks for blessings from it.
He made a deal with Juouji to let Jingliu know that the outcome was a foregone conclusion and could not be reversed.
Then he fell into the devil's shadow, allowing Jingliu to swing the last sword.
In this way, the inner demon will be destroyed.
And she can survive.
Not only now, but also in the future.
Jinyun needs a person with extremely strong determination, like a sword that is not worn down by external factors and remains as sharp as ever.
In the future that he cannot see, Jingliu will face more difficult choices than now.
Her sword will be pointed at her closest friends.
Her sword will cut off the head of the evil dragon.
Finally, her sword will cut down the stars.
Jinyun felt that he was very naive. After this round, Jingliu as a digital life would end.
But he is just like Tu Hengyu in Wandering Earth. Although he is just a string of data, he wants to give Jingliu a complete life.
This is a development game. The end of development means passing the level. The stronger the character is when passing the level, the better the ending will be.
Even if those endings are futures that you cannot see.
"Mirror flow."
Jinyun held her sword-holding hand in his usual gentle voice:
"The time has come. I would feel at ease if it were you who did it."
Just a few words made Jing Liu's pupils tremble violently.
She watched Jinyun's body gradually being covered by golden branches and leaves, and watched the resin-like blood oozing out of his body.
Unprecedented despair, like a biting chill, enveloped her whole body.
"No, Master, I can't..."
"Have you forgotten your oath as a Cloud Rider?"
"I......"
"My consciousness is gradually dissipating. When I completely fall into the devil's shadow, what do you think this immortal boat will become?"
"I can't do this, Master, please, don't do this..."
Jinyun looked at the group of Cloud Riders who had surrounded the square, and suddenly stretched out his palm. The biting cold instantly froze more than a hundred Cloud Riders into ice cubes!
"Master!!"
Jing Liu was stunned when he saw this scene:
"You, what are you doing?!"
"Om-"
Teng Xiao, who had been keeping an eye on the battlefield situation, drew out his long sword calmly:
“Falling into the devil’s shadow is like this. Although the frozen Cloud Cavalry are not in serious trouble for now, will he be able to stay sober and hold back next time?
Jingliu, if you can't do it, then retreat quickly and don't delay the Cloud Cavalry's attack on the Demon Yin."
"..."
"He's right." Jinyun's voice suddenly became several dozen degrees colder, and his eyes gradually became ruthless as he looked at Jingliu. "Jingliu, do you want this place to be a river of blood?"
"Why...why are you pushing me like this?!"
"I'm sorry, because I want you to live and fulfill my last wish."
"......What?"
"Let's fight. If you lose, the price will be the lives of everyone on this immortal boat."
"..."
"What are you standing there for?! Draw your sword! Is the future Sword Master so weak?!"
Caught off guard, Jinyun slapped Jingliu several meters away with one palm, and the latter's delicate body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Lying in the dust on the ground, Jingliu saw the fearless Yunqi soldiers launching a desperate charge towards Jinyun.
The latter simply raised his hand and completely froze their bodies.
Those who have fallen into the devil's realm will become more and more insane in their consciousness until they completely lose their humanity.
He unscrupulously froze everything within his sight into ice, from the clouds above to the earth below, without exception.
Suddenly, Jinyun clenched his sword and slashed at a cloud rider.
This sword was merciless and carried a clear intention to kill.
At the moment when the sword was about to touch the opponent's neck, a sharp blade finally broke through the air and blocked Yunqi.
Jinyun smiled, landed smoothly, and stopped chasing.
"You all, step back..."
Jingliu deflected Jinyun's attack with a sword and walked up to him.
It was the face of her lover, but at this moment, it seemed so strange.
Jingliu bit his lips tightly, and the hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.
Finally, she slowly raised her hand, the tip of her sword pointing at Jinyun's head:
"We, the Cloud Riders, are like clouds blocking the sky, protecting the immortal boats..."
Jinyun said nothing, turned into a sword shadow, took a step forward, and arrived in front of Jingliu in an instant!
His sword swung out like a dragon, and the snow-white sword energy poured down like a torrent. Jing Liu also swung his sword to respond. The snow-white floods formed by the sword energy rolled and flowed, hitting the opponent's blade, bursting into brilliant flames!
Master, we have fought countless times, but I have never defeated you...
If this is your last wish, Jingliu will bet everything for you.
The sword in Jingliu's hand suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, a bright moon seemed to rise in front of her, surging in all directions like a tide, illuminating all the rivers and streams.
The immortal boat, which was already in broad daylight, became even brighter.
It's like the sun and the moon shining together.
"The light is flying without cracks..."
"Master."
"Let me repay your kindness by using this move!"
Chapter 64 I love you too, very much
The light flies without a crack, the sword is out without turning back, and the spirit is as strong as a rainbow.
After this sword strike, Jinyun lay peacefully in Jingliu's arms.
The round time on the UI interface has finally entered the countdown to the last minute.
[Hidden bond mission: I wish I were like a star, completed]
[Task Reward: Unlock the hidden bond stage of Mirror Stream, 'The Moon in My Heart', 1 Wanshou Wuqing Pill]
[Mirror Stream Bond Value has been raised to 'My Heart's Moon']
[Reward: Wanshou Wuqing Pill*1]
Jingliu gently hugged Jinyun's body, slowly knelt on the ground, and let his head rest on his legs.
Jinyun looked at Yan Xiliu's legs covered with dust and couldn't help but smile knowingly:
"'If you lose next time, lend me your lap pillow'... You still remember this."
Jingliu sneered, tears streaming down his cheeks: "Of course I remember, this is the promise I made to you."
"The agreement was that you lost... but you won, Jingliu."
"..."
"The current score is 199:1. Jingliu wins. It seems like what you said is true. You won the 200th game."
"Do you really have to say these things at this time?"
Jing Liu's voice began to choke uncontrollably:
"If I had known that this would be the outcome, I would never, ever say something like 'I won't show mercy'..."
"sorry."
"You've let me down so many times... Do you remember the pinky promise we made?"
"'We'll make a promise for a hundred years, and we won't change it', are you referring to this?" Jinyun laughed at himself and said, "Sorry, I should have agreed on a few more years earlier."
"You said at the beginning, 'Whoever becomes a puppy will never see each other again.'"
"Yes, but you changed it to 'see you later'."
"...Is there still a future in this state?"
