598: perish together
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh~" Under the setting sun, the sea surface, following the gentle breeze, beat against the shore wave after wave.
On the beach, on the water surface, were 110 lives, lingering on their last breath, quietly waiting for death to arrive.
"Dad, I'm fine, just a bit of a cold." On the beach, Li Hong grinned and smiled.
Amidst the beating waves, his lower body was seen to be completely mangled!
If he hadn't been a gifted person himself, at the moment his body became like this, he would have died directly on the spot!
And even as a gifted person, he now only had the last few minutes of his life.
"A cold? How can a cold make you sound like you're about to die?" Li Hongda frowned: "Your body is indeed too weak. When the Medicinal Pills I sent you arrive, take one every day to recuperate your body."
Listening to his Father's rambling yet caring words on the telephone, Li Hong closed his eyes peacefully: "Dad... I have to go abroad for some business matters recently, and it might be a long time before I can see you again."
"You're so old, don't trouble yourself with Immortal Cultivation anymore, it's... worrying..."
As he spoke the last words, Li Hong seemed to have fallen asleep, with only some murmuring left.
Hearing the voice on the telephone, Li Hongda's brows gradually furrowed.
He also sensed that something was wrong with the voice and wanted to ask further questions when he suddenly heard Zhang Tongqian on the training ground shout urgently: "Lao Xiao! People from the Sword Cultivation Department, quickly take all of us to the Demon City!"
"What happened?!" The Students around were startled by this sudden sound, their hearts racing.
"We'll talk on the way!" Zhang Tongqian rarely showed a worried and anxious expression.
Xiao Dahe did not delay or ask more questions, and directly drew out the three-foot Green Peak sword in his hand.
With spiritual energy infused, the long sword in his hand suddenly transformed into the size of a small boat, and the other six Sword Cultivation Department Students also acted in the same way.
In a breath, everyone stepped onto the sword body.
The thin air rushed past their bodies wildly, and Zhang Tongqian was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by Tang Weida: "Lao Zhang, what exactly happened? What did you calculate?!"
"It's not what we calculated, it's that this Old Man Heaven has already completed its ending. Only after it stopped concealing did we see the ending it created!"
"So, what is the ending? Is changing the story ending of this Heavenly Dao our exam question?" Xiao Dahe, who was beside him, heard Zhang Tongqian's urgent voice and couldn't help but ask.
"The Wei Shi Alliance and the Demon Kings from the different World perished together in the Demon City!"
"What I just saw was this scene." Zhang Tongqian's mouth trembled as he spoke.
"What?!" On the Flying Sword, including Xiao Dahe who was controlling the long sword's flight, their tones directly rose by eight degrees.
"My grandson will die? Lao Zhang, did you make a mistake in your calculation?!"
The people around looked at Zhang Tongqian, who had already sat down cross-legged and started calculating again.
"Lao Zhang? You can't joke about this!"
Everyone had long understood the connection between the Wei Shi Alliance and themselves. Zhang Tongqian said that their descendants would perish together with the Demon Kings from the different World. Such an incredible matter was clearly unacceptable to them.
"Is there still time to salvage it now? If we rush over now and help the Children defeat those strange beasts, everything will be fine, right? After changing the ending of this Heavenly Dao, we can also complete the final exam."
Li Hongda, who was relatively calm, spoke up to ask.
He had just called his son, and everything was calm on his end, so the battle might not have started yet.
Zhang Tongqian closed his eyes: "I am calculating."
After speaking, in just a moment, the Old Man opened his eyes in despair.
"How is it?!" The people around gathered over, watching closely.
Zhang Tongqian silently shook his head, waved his hand, and a light screen appeared on the long sword.
Under the setting sun on the regional sea level, amidst the beating waves, floated the massive corpses of Demon Kings.
And on the beach where the scene flickered, were members of the Wei Shi Alliance with broken bodies!
The battle was already over, the ending was already set!
It could even be said, a period had already been drawn!
"How could this be? Didn't they know about the existence of us Cultivators? Leaving these Demon Kings to us would have been fine, why did they have to fight so desperately?!" An Old Man shouted, unable to accept it.
"Lao Xiao, hurry!" Tang Weida clenched his fists, suppressing his emotions as he urged Xiao Dahe.
There was no need for others to remind him.
After seeing his grandson's situation in the scene that just flashed by, Xiao Dahe's anxiety was no less than anyone else's!
In just over ten minutes.
With all members of the Sword Cultivation Department completely depleted of spiritual energy, the battlefield on the distant coast began to appear in everyone's eyes.
After arriving at the scene, the heavy and tragic scene caused the emotions of these Cultivation University Students who had rushed there to surge to the peak!
"Boom!" Without waiting for the long sword to land, these White-Haired Old Men in mid-air surged with spiritual energy all over their bodies and swept towards the battlefield ahead.
The rescue convoy that had already arrived had been standing there for who knows how long, looking at these heroes who were basically beyond saving.
As a clear sound erupted in the sky, the people in the City looked up somewhat in a daze.
Those fifty-five figures were clearly the Immortals who had appeared in Hong City before!
"Immortals, the Immortals are here! They must have a way to save the people of the Wei Shi Alliance, right?!" People murmured with hopeful expressions.
On the beach, Li Hongda stumbled slightly due to his excessive speed.
When he stopped, Li Hong's mangled body appeared even more clearly before his eyes!
Looking at the telephone next to the other party, Li Hongda finally understood why the Child's voice on the telephone was like that.
With a slight tremor, he placed his hand on Li Hong's wrist. After two breaths, Li Hongda seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and lay down beside Li Hong in despair.
"I told you long ago, why are you getting involved in saving the World?! You have a family too!" In the distance, the faintly collapsing voice of a classmate drifted over. In front of him, was a Child whose chest and abdomen were pierced, almost certainly dead.
"The ending, is this the ending that Teacher Ye spoke of, is this the Heavenly Dao, is this the ending that you, this Heavenly Dao, wrote for our Children?!" Tang Weida looked at the sky. His Wrathful voice was like a hundred-meter hurricane, stirring up waves on the sea surface.
After roaring, this tough Old Man's eyes actually turned red.
"Is there really no way?" The Old Man looked at Zhang Tongqian.
At this moment, Zhang Tongqian, holding the mangled body of Zhang Shan in his arms, seemed to instantly return to being a White-Haired Old Man of his age, slowly shaking his head with weariness: "This exam... this question, is so difficult."
"No, there is still a way!!" Li Hongda's excited voice suddenly exploded.
