647: Section 647
Hearing this, Qu Yan smiled and shook his head: "It is nothing, just some minor injuries!"
"You kid, why didn't you stay in the city area instead of running all the way here?"
With Lin Yi's support, Yang Shushan and Qu Yan slowly stood up from the ground.
They looked completely fine, just as they had said, as if these were only minor injuries.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Since you have all come here, how could I stay in the city area to enjoy myself alone!"
"Elder Qu, Elder Yang, you should go and rest first. Leave the matters on the battlefield to me!"
Hearing this, the two nodded with a smile and glanced at the corpse of the Yao Beast snake on the ground.
"Do not forget that corpse, it is all good stuff!"
"Especially the snake gall and the Yao Beast core; they are priceless treasures!"
"That was a Tongxin Realm Yao Beast... Wait, a Tongxin Realm Yao Beast was slapped to death by you in two hits? Tell us the truth, what Realm have you reached now, kid?"
Only at this moment did Yang Shushan react, and he quickly followed up with a question.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I am now in the Beidou Realm!"
"Good, good lad, *cough, cough, cough*... I didn't expect you to have already reached the Beidou Realm so quickly!"
"Hahaha... This is excellent, truly excellent. With a Beidou Realm Martial Artist like you, the Martial Suppression Bureau has hope, and this time on the Forbidden Zone Battlefield, there is hope to suppress those Yao Beasts!"
The two old men couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the end, Lin Yi personally escorted them back to the combat command center and let them rest there for a while.
Lin Yi immediately left the place afterwards to continue slaughtering those Yao Beasts on the battlefield.
However, the moment Lin Yi stepped out of the command center's main gate, tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes.
Although the two old men were doing their best to hide their injuries, Lin Yi still sensed something amiss from their chaotic Qi.
It was just that their lives had already reached their end, and Lin Yi was helpless.
All he could do was leave the remaining time to the two old men and let them bid each other farewell.
Following this, murderous intent flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he rushed straight towards the Yao Beasts.
Inside the command center, after Lin Yi left, the two old men could no longer hold back and each spat out a mouthful of blood. Their faces became increasingly pale.
The lively conversation they had just had was indeed an act put on for Lin Yi, as they feared he would worry because of it.
They had chosen to use Source Qi to seal their meridians, creating an illusion that there was nothing seriously wrong, but in reality, their lifespans had already come to an end.
Only after Lin Yi had left did their injuries become fully apparent.
The technicians in the command center, seeing both old men vomiting blood, all became panicked and rushed over.
Just as they were all chattering away, Yang Shushan smiled and waved his hand: "You do not need to panic, and you do not need to be afraid!"
"The lifespans of Old Qu and me have already reached their end!"
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it was worth it. We lived for over a hundred years; that's enough!"
"Our only regret is perhaps, perhaps just some personal matters!"
"So, being able to leave this world in this way is actually not a bad choice, right? Oh, that's right, we can be considered to have died on the battlefield, right?"
Yang Shushan's face became paler and paler, and his breath grew weaker and weaker. Yet, he used the last bit of strength in his body to keep talking to the others around him.
For a long while, Qu Yan, beside him, turned his head with great difficulty and glanced at him.
"Alright, alright... You should, you should save some strength, do not, do not talk anymore..."
"What is the point of saving strength? Do you intend to take it with you after you die?"
"I just want to speak my mind, some words that have been bottled up in my heart for all these years!"
"Especially with you. Thinking back to when we first met, I didn't like the look of you. Hahaha, you were also a stubborn mule, fighting with me openly and secretly, treating me as your rival!"
"Later on, the two of us argued and bickered all the way until today!"
"Sigh, we are old and useless now. It's a pity that we couldn't even help with this matter!"
"Elder Qu? Elder Qu? I say, are you still holding on? This time it's your turn, your turn to speak!"
After Yang Shushan finished speaking, he realized that Qu Yan hadn't said anything at all. This was completely unlike his usual character.
If it were in the past, he might have already retorted to Yang Shushan a few times. But today, Qu Yan had become extremely quiet.
When Yang Shushan turned his head to look at Qu Yan, he discovered that there was no longer any breath of life on him.
The technicians around them had tears streaming down their faces, 'pitter-patter'.
And just at this moment, someone shouted loudly: "The military doctor is here! Quick, quick, over here, come quickly..."
When several military doctors rushed over, Yang Shushan smiled and shook his head: "There is no need. I know what is going on with my own body!"
"You cannot save me; no one can save me!"
"Elder Yang, how about you let us give you an examination?" a military doctor said, his brows knitted together.
Yang Shushan smiled and waved his hand: "No need. The Heaven-Reaching Realm Yao Beast snake from just now shattered all my internal organs; you cannot save me anymore!"
"This is also for the best... That old fellow left a step before me, he might be waiting for me on the road to the Yellow Springs right now, and I have to go find him!"
"Everyone... please pass on a message to that kid, Lin Yi!"
"Just say, just say... with him in the Martial Suppression Bureau, both Old Qu and I are, are very relieved!"
"Old Qu and I are tired, and we are old. We have spent our whole lives fighting in the Martial Suppression Bureau. Now, we can consider our lives as having been left with the Martial Suppression Bureau!"
"In the future, if he grows up to become a Martial God, then, then just come to my and Old Qu's graves and offer incense, tell us about it, and let us two old fellows, *cough, cough, cough*... follow along, follow along and be happy!"
"Sigh, I'm going. Old Qu has come to pick me up!"
Yang Shushan's eyes suddenly brightened. His gaze looked towards a certain direction.
A smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said: "You, why have you all come? Good, good, I didn't expect to be able to see you all again, wonderful..."
Just after Yang Shushan muttered a few words to himself, he slowly closed his eyes.
Immediately, the people in the command center could not help but burst into tears.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi, who was on the battlefield, felt his body quietly tremble; he sensed that the two auras belonging to Qu Yan and Yang Shushan had both gradually disappeared.
This meant that their lives had also reached their end.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in the depths of Lin Yi's eyes. His murderous intent became increasingly intense.
In an instant, a gale blew across the battlefield. With a gloomy face, Lin Yi charged towards those Yao Beasts again.
Immediately, those Yao Beasts were slaughtered, scattered in disarray, their bodies shattered into countless pieces.
It seemed that Lin Yi was using this method to pay tribute to the spirits of the two old men in heaven.
