Crushing the World - C78
“Boss!”
“Center!”
At the very end of the stone, he seemed to hear Gao Dazhuang, Mu Zixuan, and Bai Ruozhi shouting him out. They really wanted to open their eyes. But helplessly, his eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and his body slowly fell down.
“Where is this place?”
After an unknown period of time, the stone once again regained consciousness. Slowly opening his eyes, he gently stood up and stared blankly at his surroundings.
Where was he? All he could see was darkness. Other than the darkness and the absence of light, it was also darkness. He had obviously just gotten up from the ground, but if he were to look for the ground now, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Where is the ground? The space around him was empty. Every time he stepped down from the rock, he would feel as if he was standing on solid ground.
What kind of strange place was this? Wasn’t he supposed to be on that ship? Why did he suddenly come here?
What about Gao Dazhuang, Bai Ruozhi, and the others? He could clearly hear them calling out to him.
Could it be that he had reached that universe again? But why was it that he did not see a thin yet stubborn figure?
“You’re awake?”
Just as Shi Zhong was at a loss for what to do, an ancient voice suddenly came from the depths of the darkness. It carried the joy of reuniting with someone after a long time, as well as an indescribably helpless feeling of vicissitudes.
“Who are you? “Where am I now?”
Shi Zongzheng sensed a familiar aura from his words, and he could also clearly feel that the voice did not have any distracting or bad thoughts about him.
It was just a feeling of special intimacy. It was the feeling of blood being thicker than water.
I am the Spirit Severing stage, and right now you are in my body.
That ancient voice once again came out from the darkness, but this time, Shi Zhongzheng was even more shocked.
Spirit Severing was only a saber, how could he say that? How could he make a world inside his blade? But when he thought about it again, he immediately understood.
The feeling here was the same as the feeling when he grasped the Spirit Severing stage. In particular, the feeling of being connected by blood was the most difficult to erase out of all the stones.
“Why am I here?”
Shi Zhong thought back to the place where he had fainted. The giant serpent was dead, but Bai Ruozhi and the others were still on the boat. Furthermore, they were all injured. He was worried.
“This time, you used your blood essence to water my body, waking me up. It’s been years since I’ve seen you, and it’s been a pleasure to see you again. I look forward to the day when we can be together with you, laughing arrogantly and fighting together against your natural enemies. ”
It was just that he could not see the silhouette of the Spirit Severing Stage, and could only hear his voice.
Following that, Shi Zhongzheng and the Spirit Severing Cultivator seemed to be old friends that had not seen each other for many years. Shi Zhongtian sat cross-legged in the air, softly speaking into the darkness.
The Spirit Severing cultivators did not talk about the past with Shi Zhong. After all, this was only the past, and there was no way back to the past. The only thing to do now is to seize the moment.
“I’m afraid this is the last time I’ll be able to help you!” The Spirit Severing cultivator’s indifferent voice rang out, unexpectedly containing a faint sadness, and an almost imperceptible reluctance.
“Why? What do you mean by that? ” Shi Zhongzheng seemed to have a bad premonition as he suddenly stood up and looked at the darkness in front of him in panic.
Although he had been with Shi Zhongzheng for such a long time, Shi Zhongzheng could still feel the joy of being together with him, especially the connection to their minds.
He didn’t need to say anything to the Spirit Severing stage; it was as if the Spirit Severing stage could understand his thoughts. However, now that the Spirit Severing cultivator had said that this was the last time he would help him, a bad idea flashed through Shi Zhongzheng’s mind.
Could it be that Spirit Severing was going to leave him forever? Wouldn’t he be very lonely in the future?
“You don’t have to worry about it. The time it takes to leave won’t be long. Of course, it won’t be short either.” As if sensing the thoughts in Shi Zhongzheng’s mind, the Spirit Severing cultivator softly explained to Shi Zhongzheng.
“This, this?”
Shi Zhongzheng didn’t understand what Spirit Severing meant. Sometimes he would say that he was going to leave me, and sometimes he would even say that he wouldn’t be gone for too long. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be for too long? What did that mean? It was like a command to pardon someone.
“After I met you in this life, you turned into a blade. On the surface, you look like nothing. However, the inside is already riddled with holes. If not for the fact that you used your blood essence to nurture me, I’m afraid that even until now, I would not have displayed my blade form. ”
After that, the Spirit Severing cultivator slowly explained to Shi Zhongzheng the reason why he had left.
However, when Yun Shan found the Spirit Severing stage, they were only fragments of metal. Of course, there were too many memories within the stone.
However, they were only fragments, not complete Spirit Severing. Upon coming into contact with the stone, it was precisely the little stone’s blood and essence that nourished him, allowing the Spirit Severing stage to take form once more.
The several times that he had fought such a battle had given him enlightenment. He was far from reaching his peak Spirit Severing level. Having received the attack, he had of course absorbed a great deal of metal essence and silver essence, further condensing his saber.
“I need to shut up, or sleep. When I wake up, I will be even more powerful. ” The Spirit Severing cultivator softly said.
But after hearing the words of a Spirit Severing martial artist, Shi Zhongzheng was dumbfounded. Was this really the words of a saber? He had never heard of a knife that required rest, nor had he ever heard of a knife that allowed him to sleep.
However, Shi Zhongzheng was still worried, especially after he saw how extraordinary the Spirit Severing cultivators were this time, and he even helped Shi Zhongzheng eliminate the giant snake. This was not the work of Shi Zhongzheng. It was all thanks to the Spirit Severing stage. One could well imagine just how much potential the Spirit Severing stage had exploded with.
Or could it be said that he had overdrawn his Spirit Severing cultivation base to such an extent? Shi Zhongzheng’s heart was in extreme discomfort. If he hadn’t been trying to be brave and come here, he wouldn’t have turned his Spirit Severing into this state. If something were to happen to the Spirit Severing Stage, perhaps the stone would regret it for the rest of its life.
“You can be at ease, a great battle is already nothing to me. Only through bloody battles can we grow up better. Furthermore, I also long for such a battle. If you really care about me, then find more precious ores and give me metals! “That way I can get back to the top a bit earlier.”
The Spirit Severing cultivator looked at the lonely stone and slowly sent out a strand of spiritual will from the depths of the darkness to comfort the stone.
This was a request from within the stone, and it was also the most basic requirement for him to become strong.
“Alright, I promise you. We will definitely grow up, and I’ll definitely let you recover to your peak state sooner than later. ”
Shi Zhongzheng clenched his fist and pursed his lips. His dark eyes revealed a determined look. He had sworn an oath to the Spirit Severing stage, an oath to the Spirit Severing stage.
“I believe you. I’ll wait for you! ”
These few words represented the complete and utter trust that a Spirit Severing cultivator had in Shi Zhongzheng. Perhaps this was the embodiment of the many years they had lived together and the hardships they had suffered together.
I’ll wait for you!
This isn’t just a person talking to Ishigami anymore. Waiting for me? Why wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do?
The stone was thinking about this question in a daze. His consciousness gradually became blurry again, and the darkness before his eyes became darker and darker.
When it was pitch black, it was as if a ray of light had appeared before his eyes. It was a weak and dazzling light. A soft call sounded in his ears. It was a very familiar voice.
“Center, center!”
His anxious tone carried a few traces of worry and fear.
“Ugh!”
Shi Zhongzheng turned his body and struggled to open his eyes. He found himself lying in Bai Ruozhi’s arms. His head was resting on a plump and smooth leg. It was very flexible and very fleshy.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Ruozhi anxiously staring at him with concerned eyes. Seeing that Shi Zhong was slowly waking up, his face revealed a charming smile, accompanied by a few tears.
“Don’t cry!”
With such a beautiful appearance and a tear-stained face, he looked like a pear-stained flower that was about to fall. He tried his best to raise the back of his hand, but the pain he felt was too great.
Trembling, he used the back of his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Bai Ruozhi’s eyes. He was gentle and careful, as if the Bai Ruozhi in front of him was a perfect piece of porcelain.
“You’re awake?”
Bai Ruozhi was crazily overjoyed without the slightest act. It was a joy that came completely from the depths of her heart. Seeing this, Shi Zhongzheng’s heart warmed. He wanted to give Bai Ruozhi a powerful hug, but now he felt helpless, as if his entire body was about to fall apart.
How could he still have the strength to get up? After repeating this several times, Shi Zhongzheng finally stood up with the help of Bai Ruozhi.
He hadn’t taken the first step yet, but Stone Mountain had taken it a bit more steadily. However, Bai Ruozhi’s first step almost fell to the ground. After her body swayed a few times, she stood up once again.
“What’s wrong?”
Shi Zhongzheng asked with concern when he saw Bai Ruozhi in such a weakened state. His face was filled with worry.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I’ve been sitting here for too long, my legs are numb.”
As Bai Ruozhi spoke, she held onto the rock with one hand and tapped on her thigh with the other. A pained expression appeared on his face, as if he was in extreme pain.
When Shi Zhongzheng saw the pained expression on Bai Ruozhi’s face, he felt even more upset. How long had he been lying on top of her? Was she hugging him just like that? It would be weird if his leg wasn’t numb.
“Sorry to trouble you!” Shi Zhongzheng knew that he could not do much now, and his words of thanks were somewhat pale.
