But the moment my hand reached into my chest, I was stunned.
I didn't know when the Water of Life I had stored in my chest had also disappeared.
In other words, I had no other way to replenish my Shepherd God Power.
At the same time, Zhou Ran had arrived.
That long saber grew larger and larger in my pupils. After the previous battles, my body was already covered in wounds, and blood was flowing out non-stop. The intense pain kept stimulating my nerves.
I desperately used the last bit of strength in my body to place the short sword horizontally in front of my chest.
The long saber fell, and the terrifying power slammed heavily onto the short sword. My resistance was completely ineffective.
Under the impact of the long saber, the short sword smashed hard into my chest.
My breathing became difficult, and my mind became chaotic.
The intense pain transmitted to every corner of my body. I could even clearly feel that blood was starting to accumulate in my chest.
At this moment, I had only one thought in my mind...
I will die!
Although I had already resolved to die when facing the cold water and lava before, truthfully, I was unwilling now.
I was unwilling to die so inexplicably...
Gritting my teeth, I gripped the short sword and crawled away based on instinct.
But facing my miserable state, Zhou Ran showed no intention of holding back. He changed the angle of the long saber in his hand and thrust it down towards my back.
"Pfft!"
I heard a dull thud, and the next moment, I felt my chest being pierced through.
Blood gradually drained from my body, and my body began to turn cold.
My consciousness also became blurry.
Fortunately, under these circumstances, the pain seemed to have decreased significantly...
But it was no use...
The absence of pain meant I was bleeding, and profusely. Death was drawing nearer.
But I really didn't want to die...
I flipped over and stared at Zhou Ran in front of me, a sudden, unprecedented feeling erupting in my heart.
The next moment, a warm current flowed from my chest to every part of my body.
In an instant, I was startled. Could it be that I had triggered something at this critical moment?
If that were the case, perhaps I still had a chance to turn the tables.
Soon, my body gave me the answer. I could feel a surge of power condensing madly in my arm.
This energy enveloped my entire arm, and my arm was filled with explosive strength at this moment.
"Die for me!" I roared, trying to force myself to stand, but blood gushed out of my mouth first.
This feeling was too miraculous, like a final burst of energy before death.
At that moment, I felt my body filled with strength, and I seemed to possess infinite power.
However, this situation only lasted for a moment.
The next moment, Zhou Ran withdrew the long saber and thrust it fiercely towards my head.
In my pupils, the tip of the blade grew closer and closer, and the feeling of death became clearer and clearer.
My body began to tremble.
I was truly afraid. This fear stemmed from the primal instincts of the human body. I desperately tried to unleash the last trace of Shepherd God Power in my body, but it was of no use.
"Pfft!"
With a faint sound, I clearly saw the long saber pierce through my head...
Everything around returned to calm, and my world became dark once more.
"I should be dead now..." I gave a bitter laugh. I had thought I would die spectacularly, perhaps even fight against the Heavenly Dao in the future.
But now, it seemed like a joke.
I couldn't even say I died before accomplishing my mission, because I hadn't done anything yet.
I still had so many regrets, so many hopes, so many responsibilities...
But now, it was all gone. I was dead...
So this was what it felt like to die.
As my world plunged into darkness, I felt like a fallen leaf in the universe.
Rootless and alone, with nothing but boundless vastness around me.
Even my sight was useless. As far as I could see, there was nothing but darkness.
"I wonder how Lin Chun is doing now..." A thought suddenly crossed my mind. "If nothing unexpected happened, Luo Yaqin should be very sad..."
"I wonder if Chen Zhi will remember me... Bei Chi will definitely forge even more powerful weapons in the future..."
"What a pity, I haven't killed Wei Xi yet..."
"The Tree of Life in my body is probably useless now..."
"I thought I was the chosen one... Thinking about it carefully, I am nothing... I shouldn't have been so eager for quick success..."
