However, Ning Yitao didn't want to give up. Relying on her spiritual veins, she intended to use her spiritual power to exhaust the array eye. But how could Duan Yushu let her close the array eye smoothly?
Ning Yitao was all alone. Duan Yushu didn't believe that she could grow eight eyes to guard against him.
Ning Yitao felt Duan Yushu's covetous gaze.
In the end, she withdrew her hand. Now wasn't a good time to close the array eye. If she was careless for a moment and was counterattacked by Duan Yushu, she would really be doomed.
But just then, Ning Yitao saw something flash by in the array eye.
Ning Yitao thought this was her opportunity. If she really became a god, relying on the spiritual veins in her hand, she might be able to capture the array eye.
All her attention was focused on the thing that had just flashed by.
Finally, Ning Yitao saw clearly, but what she saw made her freeze on the spot.
She stood still, digesting the scene in front of her.
It was like a ruin after a disaster.
The sky was gray. The moisture-laden clouds were hanging low, pressing down like a collapsing ceiling. The air was stifling, without a single breath of wind. All she could smell was the astringent stench of mud. The world seemed to be covered by a lid, and all living beings would be suffocated inside. All struggles were meaningless.
On the ground, endless corpses were piled up. Blood flowed continuously, staining the entire earth red.
In the low-lying valleys, endless streams of red accumulated.
In the sky at sunset, there remained a hint of gaudy blood-red, as if the desolation of the earth had been reflected in the entire sky, leaving behind boundless desolation.
The sobbing of women drifted from afar, plaintive and desolate; the cries of infants drifted into the endless void, tragic and evil;
In the void, fierce ghosts roared and howled as they carried a bronze coffin and floated away, stirring up gusts of foul and gloomy wind. The wind blew through the rubble of the ruins, making a desolate whirling sound in this extinction. It seemed as if it was also mourning and wailing.
The broken ruins were covered in darkness, permeated with boundless desolation. This was almost a suffocating sadness.
This was the scene after the array eye was fully opened.
Ning Yitao was so shocked by the scene in front of her that she couldn't speak. She felt as if she was there, extremely desolate.
Duan Yushu, who had been guarding by the side, naturally seized Ning Yitao's flaw. Taking this opportunity, he tried to snatch back Lu Xuanzi.
Just at this critical moment, Duan Qinghuai appeared behind Ning Yitao. He struck quickly, fiercely and accurately, and snatched Lu Xuanzi back.
Duan Yushu didn't guard against others at all, and this allowed Duan Qinghuai to succeed.
When Duan Qinghuai stood in front of Ning Yitao, he saw that there was no joy on her face. Instead, she was full of sorrow.
She really didn't know what to do.
At this time, when Duan Qinghuai saw his elder brother Duan Yushu, he wasn't surprised.
It turned out that after the divine sense returned, Duan Qinghuai's memory would also come back.
Now, Duan Qinghuai was the one with the memory of a supreme god.
The two stared at each other coldly. Suddenly, a high-spirited fighting intent flashed in their eyes, erupting into an uncontrollable blaze.
After the two brothers met, their figures were extremely fast, and they had soared into the air.
Ning Yitao seized the opportunity. She immediately stood in front of the array eye and used the spiritual veins to fill the void of the God-Slaying Array with all her might.
To Ning Yitao's delight, she could actually shrink the array eye a little. It seemed that this array eye wasn't impossible to close, but it needed a large amount of spiritual power.
As expected of brothers who had lived together, from the moment their gazes met, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Both of them were fighting for what they were guarding, and neither of them showed mercy.
Their figures in the air were so fast that afterimages appeared.
Loud explosions rang out. Spiritual energy and evil energy collided in the air, making a terrifying booming sound.
Duan Qinghuai's spiritual energy didn't disperse. Instead, it was like a bamboo-breaking force, directly breaking through Duan Yushu's evil energy and slashing hard at Duan Yushu.
But Duan Yushu wasn't weak either. The evil energy that had quietly circled behind Duan Qinghuai stabbed straight at him. The huge force of their confrontation sent each other flying, and at the same time, they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
In this battle, both of them were determined to die. Duan Qinghuai's body was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards violently, and was caught by Ning Yitao.
This was the first time Ning Yitao had seen such a powerful confrontation. She couldn't even see clearly how they made their moves.
But even though Duan Yushu was already so seriously injured, he was still planning. Even the battle with Duan Qinghuai was part of his plan. He had laid so many preparations just to snatch back Lu Xuanzi when they were slack.
No one could take away his Lu Xuanzi. There was determination in Duan Yushu's eyes.
However, the fact proved that he did succeed.
Duan Qinghuai could fight him only because of the residual divine sense in his body. That wisp of divine sense was extremely weak. The result of both of them being seriously injured was due to Duan Qinghuai's strong support.
Because that wisp of divine sense had told him that if Duan Yushu used all his power, Ning Yitao would have no chance of winning. Duan Yushu's ability was extremely terrifying.
Duan Qinghuai just wanted to protect Ning Yitao's safety. At this time, Eve also came to the battlefield.
Zhaocai and Liu Qiaozhi both appeared. They all trusted Ning Yitao.
Eve firmly stood in front of Ning Yitao, looking into her eyes and saying:
"I'll help you. You go and close the array eye. Don't worry about me."
Zhaocai and Liu Qiaozhi showed their determination with actions. They took a step forward at the same time and stood beside Eve, fighting side by side with her.
Zhaocai said:
"Taotao, we'll bear everything for you. Without any worries, you will definitely be able to close the array eye."
The look on Duan Qinghuai's face was something Ning Yitao had never seen before. It was determination.
Duan Qinghuai dragged his seriously injured body and rejoined the battlefield.
Everyone believed in Ning Yitao, believing that she could close the array eye.
Ning Yitao had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She just poured a large amount of her spiritual power into the array eye.
Ning Yitao planned to use the spiritual veins in her hand to consume the array eye.
But no one noticed that when Duan Yushu saw Ning Yitao pouring spiritual power into the array eye, his expression changed slightly.
On closer inspection, it seemed to be... pleasure?
Duan Yushu protected Lu Xuanzi and fought against the three of them alone. Although he was seriously injured, the most threatening Duan Qinghuai's current strength was no longer as fierce as before.
They all noticed that for some reason, Duan Yushu had been on the defensive and rarely attacked.
He was just teasing Zhaocai and the others, not allowing them to be distracted, but they couldn't hit Duan Yushu either. Zhaocai was holding back his anger. It was simply like he was playing with them like mice.
So, no one noticed that Ning Yitao was a bit absent-minded now.
Because Ning Yitao actually felt that the spiritual veins in her hand were on the verge of exhaustion.
