Chapter 220 The Holy Son of Xuanming!

Chapter 220 The Holy Son of Xuanming!

In the biting cold wind, a disheveled figure struggles to walk, stumbling and trudging against the vast icy plain.

His stubble and disheveled hair, along with his withered face, spoke of the desolation in his heart, and his empty eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Behind him dragged a crystal ice coffin, through which one could vaguely see a corpse with long golden hair inside.

No one knows how long he had been walking. The wind and snow had already condensed a layer of frost on his gray beard and hair, and his chapped lips were frozen solid before they could even bleed.

Human beings have their limits; even the strongest will cannot drive a body that is already exhausted to continue walking.

Moreover, this is in this bitterly cold and desolate place where life is impossible.

Finally, he collapsed in the wind and snow, but he always held tightly to a hemp rope in his hand, because it was connected to the ice coffin behind him. Only by holding this hemp rope could he prevent the ice coffin from being lost.

This is the most important person to him, and the person he loves most.

Even though she is dead, he will never abandon her. He travels the world, hoping to find a way to bring her back.

It was clear, however, that he could no longer hold on.

"Nan Nan————" The man's lips moved, and a hoarse, almost inaudible sound came from his throat.

"Am I, Xu Sanshi, destined to fall here?"

A trace of emotion finally surfaced in Xu Sanshi's empty eyes—resentment, anger, and an extreme hatred that devoured all his reason.

Xu Sanshi, son of the Xuanming Sect Master and also son of the Douling Empire Princess, was a former student of Shrek Academy's outer court and one of the twin stars of the outer court, on par with Bei Bei.

As for the ice coffin he was pulling behind him, whose corpse was inside? It was already quite clear.

That belongs to Jiang Nannan.

Since the end of the last competition, Xu Sanshi left Shrek Academy with Jiang Nannan's body. He did not return to Xuanming Sect, but instead, like Yan Shaozhe who helped Ma Xiaotao find the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, he began to travel to every corner of Douluo Continent.

However, he wasn't looking for the magic herb, but rather for a way to save Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan was dead, dead right before his eyes, dead under Lin Nuo's sword of judgment. This was an undeniable fact, but Xu Sanshi didn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it. Jiang Nannan was really dead.

No matter the cost, he wanted to save Jiang Nannan.

However, before he could travel all over the continent, he collapsed at the extreme northern ice plains, even though his martial spirit had mutated from the Xuanming Turtle into another form due to some special reasons, greatly enhancing his strength.

However, the climate in the far north was still too harsh. He had been traveling for several years, and his severely depleted body simply could not withstand the baptism of cold winds and snow.

The heavy snow continued to fall, covering the surface of the ice coffin and Xu Sanshi's body.

As he watched the ice coffin gradually being covered by snow and ice, and at that blurry glimpse of long golden hair, the resentment and anger in his eyes eventually faded away.

What good is his resentment?

It's too late to turn the tide.

"To die here like this seems like a good ending." Xu Sanshi's cracked lips curled into a smile as he looked tenderly at the figure in the ice coffin. "Nannan, I am a useless person. I can't protect you, and I can't save you."

"But I'm selfish. I want to be with you forever. If we both sleep eternally in this snow and ice, wouldn't that be a kind of eternal togetherness?"

"Nan Nan————"

"Forgive my selfishness—" Xu Sanshi's eyes were also covered with frost, and his vision gradually faded into darkness.

He's dying soon too.

He was on his last breath.

Just then, the surrounding space shattered like a mirror, revealing a dark and deep boundless void. Intense spatial and soul power fluctuations instantly spread out from the void.

A black figure fell from the void in a simple and unadorned manner, landing in the snow not far from Xu Sanshi.

That's Ye Xishui.

After being forcibly sent into the spatial passage by Long Xiaoyao, the former did not know where Ye Xishui would be sent. He simply sent her away randomly. Under such extreme circumstances, Long Xiaoyao could only guarantee that he would not send Ye Xishui to dangerous places such as high altitudes, deep seas, or underground.

There was nothing more he could do.

The threat of the Evil Emperor was imminent, and the fleeting opportunity did not allow him to make any further arrangements.

After Ye Xishui fell out of the spatial rift, she also fell into a coma. She was first hit head-on by the Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space, and then forcibly suppressed and sent away by Long Xiaoyao, who burned himself.

Her body, already severely damaged, coupled with the double blow to her spirit, forced her into a deep sleep.

Whether it was the mental exhaustion caused by the Light of Time and Space or the heartache caused by Long Xiaoyao's self-sacrifice, both led Ye Xishui into a self-protective coma.

Even while unconscious, her previous experiences had driven her to madness with rage. A phantom of her Blood Soul Demon Puppet Martial Soul appeared, enveloping her and constantly emanating intense negative emotions and bloodthirsty killing intent.

The aura she unintentionally released while unconscious was enough to terrify even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, Xu Sanshi, who was on the verge of death not far away, survived because of the aura she leaked.

A large black tortoise appeared on his body as a phantom, with a large, golden snake coiled around its shell.

This is Xu Sanshi's mutated martial spirit, which has not yet been officially named.

However, it was not Xuanwu, because the large snake on its body was not the snake on Xuanwu, but Jiang Nannan's soul.

To prevent Jiang Nannan's body from decaying, Xu Sanshi used his soul power to condense an ice coffin to hold Jiang Nannan's corpse. However, due to his influence on his martial soul, the martial soul underwent unknown changes.

Jiang Nannan's still-present soul was fused with his awakening and mutating martial soul.

This is what eventually came about.

Xu Sanshi was indeed on the verge of death, but his martial spirit was sentient and would actively seek out any chance of survival, even if it was only a sliver.

The aura emanating from Ye Xishui was precisely the sliver of life that allowed it to survive. It instinctively opened its mouth to devour the bloody, resentful, and malevolent aura emanating from Ye Xishui. The golden snake coiled around the tortoise shell also cooperated with its actions.

This did indeed give them the energy to survive, and Xu Sanshi's heart, which had stopped beating, regained its temperature.

However, the pupils of both the tortoise and the snake had turned into a ferocious blood red.

Even the tortoise shell and snake scales have developed strange, blood-red patterns.

but----

Who cares about anything else if we can survive?
