Chapter 2879 It Was Me All Along
Further on, more and more armies appeared on the horizon, until they covered the sky.
Another Panlong army led by General Hong has also returned.
Working tirelessly under the stars and moon, they moved at an unprecedented pace.
General Hong pointed his spear, and the distant army smoothly turned to pursue the fleeing Bekaa army. They had to act quickly, otherwise Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi'an's troops would arrive soon.
General Hong led only a dozen or so riders and charged towards this place.
He Lingchuan watched her rush towards him. His vision was already blurred, but he could still see the figure growing larger and clearer in his field of vision until it was right in front of him.
"He Lingchuan!" General Hong jumped off his horse before it had even come to a complete stop, his boots screeching as they rubbed against the mud.
She didn't call him "General Tiger Wing," but rather addressed him by his full name, "He Lingchuan."
Like Xu Shichu, General Hong knelt on one knee and then grasped He Lingchuan's hand.
Her palms were burning hot, while He Lingchuan's were cold.
Before she could speak again, He Lingchuan had already said something softly.
The voice was too soft, and the wind too loud, so General Red couldn't hear him clearly and had to lean closer to ask:
"What did you say?"
She had already learned about the battle situation here through Xu Shichu, and she also knew that General Huyi was seriously injured and beyond saving.
She rushed back under the stars and moon, only to see him one last time.
Upon seeing General Hong, He Lingchuan's spirits noticeably improved, and he could even raise his voice slightly: "Panlong is safe, you are free."
This was his wish of twenty years, and it has finally come true.
These last five words, though light, were carried by the strong wind, swirling above the battlefield, and reaching everyone's ears.
It even seemed to cause a strange echo in the heavens and earth:
I'm free...
I'm free...
No need to be trapped anymore.
This is a turning point in the fate of Panlongcheng, and very likely a turning point in this entire world!
General Hong gripped his hand slightly and said, "It is 'us' who are free!"
The word "we" should be pronounced with emphasis.
Even though she had witnessed the fickleness of human relationships and experienced the pain of separation and death, she couldn't help but choke up at this moment.
First kill Bai Zhantian, then kill Bi Litian! Only Hu Yi can turn the tide and save Panlong from certain death.
He defended Panlong City with his blood and life.
General Hong's tears streamed down her face from beneath her helmet; it was the first time anyone present had ever seen her shed tears.
"You and I have both fulfilled our promises to Panlong!"
That promise was so weighty and difficult to fulfill, it was originally impossible.
And the destiny of the dragon was thus completely broken!
He Lingchuan said with difficulty, "The Holy Venerable Lingxu still wishes to descend to earth..."
General Red interrupted, "Don't worry. As long as I am here, He won't be able to cause trouble on earth!"
This is General Red's solemn promise.
She always spoke her mind, and He Lingchuan was relieved to hear this.
His consciousness was already scattered, the scenery in front of him was blurred, and even the Red General could not see clearly. Instead, he saw black flames rising around him, surrounding him.
The black fire burned ever brighter, stretching for hundreds of miles. In his field of vision, apart from the Red General, there was only this endless infernal black fire.
But instead of feeling the burning pain of the flames, he felt his bones begin to feel cold.
This is the fire of karma.
When it preys on its host, it behaves differently than when it fights an enemy.
As dawn broke, karma came to him to fulfill his promise.
It's time to settle all the scores from the past two decades.
This man stirred up the winds and clouds of the world, changed the fate of countless people, and created countless causes and effects!
They coalesced into a black serpent of fate, and a chilling laugh echoed in He Lingchuan's ears:
You've succeeded, but the time has come. Come on—
Face your final fate.
Karma was very pleased with itself. It had waited many years, but the Nine Nether Emperor's fate was always too strong, and no suitable karmic retribution had ever come its way. Now, it had finally gotten the chance to settle all its scores at once. Who could understand this ultimate joy it felt?
Only He Lingchuan could hear this kind of laughter.
He felt at ease.
You must bear the consequences of your own choices.
Before the black smoke completely engulfed him, the ground suddenly trembled violently again, causing the whole world to stagger.
The earth cracked open, and the distant mountains collapsed with a roar. Then, dark red mist rose from the cracks and fissures.
Several claps of thunder rolled across the sky for no apparent reason, and it seemed as if there was something behind the heavens.
The world has long been unstable, and now it is on the verge of collapse. It seems that something is about to emerge from underground, but it is stuck on the eve of an explosion.
He Lingchuan slowly closed his eyes, his mind clear.
Only when General Red used his supernatural powers could he hear his faint murmurs:
"I understand now, it was me all along."
It was him? What does that mean?
He Lingchuan said slowly, "What blocks the Great Square Pot from reality is not the secret realm, but..."
It was him!
For Dafanghu to transform from the ethereal to the tangible, it must break down the boundary between the ethereal and the tangible. For many years, it has always believed that this boundary is the Panlong Secret Realm that it built with its own hands.
It wasn't until his last breath that he realized:
What's blocking the path of the Great Square Pot's materialization isn't a secret realm at all, it's clearly him himself!
From the moment he obtained the Divine Bone Necklace, He Lingchuan became the only link between the Great Pot and reality.
His very existence was so solid and unshakeable that it was no wonder that he could not succeed in repeatedly attacking the Panlong Secret Realm with his chaotic power.
To bring the Great Pot down to earth with new laws, he must sacrifice not only his ideals, but also his own life.
Having grasped this point, he smiled with relief:
It's alright, take it.
The moment he entered the Panlong World to continue fighting, he knew he couldn't leave alive.
Burying his remains here was his choice, and he has no regrets.
Unfortunately……
He Lingchuan murmured another sentence softly.
General Hong leaned closer and could barely hear him:
"...Master?"
She looked up and around, then said regretfully, "Are you talking about Master Sun? She's not here. I'll send someone to find her right away!"
Upon receiving the order, the two guards at the rear immediately rushed into the city.
He Lingchuan's lips twitched into a barely perceptible smile: "They will come."
This statement was remarkably certain.
Then he did something strange:
With his last ounce of strength, he raised his hand, trying to remove the mask from General Hong's face.
At that moment, his curiosity suddenly amplified infinitely.
Will what lies behind the mask be as he imagines?
But he only raised his hand halfway before it fell back down.
Time is up.
In his final moments, he felt a strange sense of peace, even a slight sense of relief. His most important mission was accomplished; though there was some regret, it was still a satisfactory conclusion.
Oh, what a pity. But how can life be without regrets?
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
His time was frozen at this moment.
The Floating Life Blade rolled off his waist, swayed forlornly for a moment, and finally came to rest in the pool of blood.
