Listening to the words from Lan Ling Nu's mouth.
Gu Ye Feng, Duan Xi Feng, and Song Wu Ji were all angered.
Among the three, Gu Ye Feng said, "Although I don't know who you are, just because you resemble my mother a little, I thought you weren't a bad person, but a kind woman like my mother. Hmph, I was mistaken. A woman like you, if you can't have someone, you wish for no one else to have them."
"Your appearance of unrequited love is truly disgusting. Nangong Mo is my brother-in-law, the person my sister deeply loves. I believe my sister wouldn't choose the wrong person. As for what you just said, I imagine you've made it all up. A woman like you is not only disgusting but also the most detestable."
Gu Ye Feng rarely commented on others, and even less so about them.
But now, he truly couldn't stand this woman.
To think he had actually felt a connection with this woman before.
But ever since she spoke of everything concerning him, he was first surprised, then disbelieving, and now only felt disgust.
"I also don't believe Nangong Mo would say this. You're spouting nonsense, aren't you just trying to sow discord between us and Nangong Mo? Hmph, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. A woman like you is not worthy."
Duan Xi Feng also added this.
Song Wu Ji remained silent.
He glanced at Nangong Mo within the barrier.
Then he turned his gaze to Lan Ling Nu.
He didn't know Nangong Mo well, but he disliked the Lan Ling Nu before him, very much so.
"Ha, you don't believe me? This spirit maiden can't be bothered to waste her breath on you. Since you've all come today, this spirit maiden will kill all of you on behalf of my junior brother."
"This way, my junior brother's ears will be clear, and he can properly cultivate with my master."
Lan Ling Nu flipped her palm.
A spirit sword with white light instantly appeared.
Holding the spirit sword, she leaped up and attacked Gu Ye Feng and Duan Xi Feng.
Although Gu Ye Feng and Duan Xi Feng were both injured, they would not sit idly by.
The two joined forces, each raising their swords and thrusting them towards Lan Ling Nu.
One attacked her from behind, while the other attacked her from the front.
At this moment, Nangong Mo within the barrier still had his eyes closed, with that same extremely pained expression.
It seemed as though he was trying to break through something, but his eyes were tightly shut, as if suppressed by something and unable to emerge.
The wind and clouds changed, and cranes flew in disarray.
Powerful spiritual energy surged from Lan Ling Nu's palm.
Almost instantly.
The spirit sword in Lan Ling Nu's hand split into two, each piercing towards Gu Ye Feng and Duan Xi Feng.
Oof!
The tip of the spirit sword pierced Gu Ye Feng's chest, and the other spirit sword pierced Duan Xi Feng's chest.
The spirit swords were pulled out.
Gu Ye Feng and Duan Xi Feng, from different directions, were sent flying backward.
Blood stained their robes.
The two fell like kites with broken strings, slowly descending without any wind.
Seeing this, Song Wu Ji's pupils constricted. He glanced at Bai Li Jing Xuan: "Jing Xuan, save them!"
Song Wu Ji and Bai Li Jing Xuan simultaneously used their Qing Gong and leaped forward.
Song Wu Ji caught Gu Ye Feng, and Bai Li Jing Xuan caught Duan Xi Feng.
The two whose chests were pierced had faces ashen and bloodless.
"Gu Ye Feng, how are you?"
Blood continuously flowed from his chest.
Song Wu Ji, holding Gu Ye Feng, also tried to wipe away the blood and stop the bleeding.
Gu Ye Feng was in too much pain to speak.
But he still reached out his hand towards Song Wu Ji.
Bai Li Jing Xuan was not a normal person to begin with. After saving Duan Xi Feng, he simply held him without speaking, then tossed him in front of Song Wu Ji before standing expressionlessly behind Song Wu Ji.
As Song Wu Ji held Gu Ye Feng's hand, he also looked at Duan Xi Feng.
Duan Xi Feng had also been stabbed in the chest, but his complexion was slightly better than Gu Ye Feng's.
He struggled to get up and leaned against a pillar behind Song Wu Ji.
"I never thought I'd be at someone else's mercy. Ha..."
As he spoke, Duan Xi Feng glanced at Nangong Mo within the barrier.
He continued to laugh and say, "However... even if I die, I will take Nangong Mo back to my sister. Qian Ying's beloved is Nangong Mo. She wants to be with Nangong Mo, and as her brother, I will surely fulfill her wish."
Meanwhile, Song Wu Ji held Gu Ye Feng's hand and looked at him.
Gu Ye Feng also looked towards the barrier. He then turned to Duan Xi Feng: "Duan, Qian Ying is not just your sister, she is also my own sister. As her brother, I also wish for Qian Ying to be happy. You are right, even if I die today, as her brother, I will take Nangong Mo back."
With difficulty, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.
His hands were covered in blood, and as he held the jade pendant, one side of it was also stained with blood.
This jade pendant was given to him by his wife when he left.
To alleviate his longing.
He already had three children at home.
Although his wife was a princess, she personally took care of the children, never delegating the task.
He had also mentioned it several times, fearing his wife would be too tired. But his wife said that children were her heart's desire.
Watching the children every moment was his wife's greatest happiness.
He had also been very happy all these years.
Looking at the blood-stained jade pendant.
Gu Ye Feng's mind flashed with images of his children and his wife.
He missed them so much, so very much.
But he also knew very well that he likely wouldn't be able to leave here today.
If he had regrets?
No, he never regretted it.
For his sister's happiness, what did it matter if he died here today?
He knew that his children and wife were waiting for him at home.
But this was his responsibility, his responsibility and love for his sister.
He hoped his sister would be happy in this life.
"Gu Ye Feng, you'd best keep your life. You have a wife and children at home. If you die here, what will they do?"
Duan Xi Feng took out a pill from his sleeve and threw it to Gu Ye Feng.
He only had one such pill left.
It protected the heart's vital energy, stopped bleeding, and maintained strength.
Duan Xi Feng stood up, leaning on the pillar: "Unlike me, I've been alone all these years. Even if I die, I die. However... to make Nangong Mo change his mind before dying is worth it."
He had no sword to use.
Gu Ye Feng clenched his fists.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He leaped towards the barrier.
If he couldn't defeat Lan Ling Nu, then he would break the barrier!
He used almost no spiritual energy within his body, and there wasn't much left anyway.
He pounded the barrier with his fists, one punch after another.
"Nangong Mo, I am Duan Xi Feng. Wake up! Listen to me, the one you love is Gu Qian Ying. You must return to Gu Qian Ying's side, protect her, and guard her. You also have Xiao Yi Hao. You are his father, and he needs you. Wake up! Hurry and wake up!"
He pounded the glowing barrier with fist after fist.
Although the barrier was surrounded by spiritual energy.
Duan Xi Feng endured the danger of spiritual energy backlash.
One person, trying to break this barrier with the most foolish method.
"A self-important fool is worthy of waking my junior brother? Hmph!"
Lan Ling Nu leaped over.
She kicked Duan Xi Feng away.
Duan Xi Feng fell to the ground.
Lan Ling Nu slowly walked towards him, and just as he was about to get up, she grabbed his neck with one hand!
She lifted Duan Xi Feng high into the air.
"You insignificant mortal, it's already your fortune to have come to our immortal realm. And you, with your overconfidence, want to wake my junior brother? Hahaha, mortal, do you know how ridiculous your pig-like stupidity is?"
Her fingers tightened.
Lan Ling Nu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Duan Xi Feng's breathing became increasingly difficult.
His face turned red. Due to his severe injuries, he had no ability to fight back at this moment.
And now, with his neck in Lan Ling Nu's grasp, he could not retaliate, only an endless sense of suffocation spread throughout his body.
At this moment.
Images of his companions over the years flashed through his mind.
He was fortunate to have met Gu Qian Ying in this life, to have someone who treated him as family, as a brother.
He was truly happy.
He was actually just an adopted son of the Duan family.
No one doted on him as a child, and he was alone as he grew up.
It was during the time Gu Qian Ying was raised in the Duan family that he finally had a sister who doted on him and cared for him.
To find his sister, he had traveled to many places and finally found her at the Gu family.
In fact, he also knew that his sister was not a child of the Duan family, but also an adopted daughter.
But in this life, he had decided on this sister.
This sister who treated him as her own brother.
Qian Ying, brother is leaving first. In the next life, brother still wants to be your brother, are you willing?
A tear traced a path down the corner of his eye.
Duan Xi Feng smiled with tears.
Qian Ying... I hope brother won't get lost on the road to the underworld, so brother can find you in the next life.
He stopped struggling.
Duan Xi Feng closed his eyes.
At this moment, the wind rose, and the clouds changed...
