Collapse: A little shock to the card world

Chapter 160 All wasted time is in vain...

After several attempts, they finally broke out of the dense encirclement.

Although gray snakes still suddenly appeared around, it was much better than the large black mass behind him.

As Yuan Yu was running, he suddenly found that the gray snake in front of him was no longer there. Looking back, the gray snake chasing him had also disappeared. He looked around in confusion but found no trace of it.

And it seems that there haven't been any coincidental accidents for a long time. Is this... the tribulation has been successfully overcome?

On a piece of grass, Yuan Yu stopped and looked at the stargazing in his arms.

"Mr. Stargazer, is this distance okay?"

The stargazer paused while adjusting the compass, then raised his head and smiled.

"That's... enough..."

After Yuan Yu put her down, she once again adjusted the compass floating in front of her.

Formations quickly spread out from her as the center, covering hundreds of meters in an instant.

Guan Xing looked at the compass that kept turning in front of him, and said to Yuan Yu who was waiting quietly behind him:

“This formation is both offensive and defensive. If we encounter the previous situation again, we can hold out for several days.

However, there is still a lack of a core of the formation. If the core of the formation is found, the formation can continue endlessly.

Now that we're safe, Captain, could you please help me get my Jin Zheng Tan? I've been using it for years in formations, so it's probably the most suitable as the centerpiece."

Yuan Yu frowned as he looked at Guanxing who was constantly setting up the formation. Was he trying to lure him away?

Could it be that he calculated something again?

He looked at the silent surroundings. Under the moonlight, the grass that just reached his ankles was clearly visible.

It didn't seem like much, but he believed in the power of stargazing, especially with the compass as a guide...

He folded his arms and looked at the stargazing figure, saying calmly

"Mr. Guanxing, since I have escorted you all the way here, how could I leave just because of a few words from you?

You must have anticipated some crisis. Tell me about it, maybe I can solve it..."

Guanxing turned his head and looked at Yuan Yu deeply, then suddenly smiled, and there seemed to be something different in his smile.

Then, while retreating,

"Actually, the information we obtained from the previous divination included three...

In addition to the good news and bad news, there is also a vague message...

Only one of the Huang Empire and I can exist..."

Yuan Yu's pupils trembled, and he instantly realized what Guanxing wanted to do.

Between the Huang Empire and herself, she will definitely choose the Huang Empire instead of herself!

Watching her retreat step by step, Yuan Yu suddenly felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to take a step to catch up with her, he found that his body had become completely unable to move without him knowing when.

"Xingxing! What have you done? Let me go! There must be a way to save you and the Huang Empire!"

Stargazing shook his head, a hint of apology appearing on his face.

"Perhaps, but I can't bet the empire...

So... I'm sorry... Captain, I may not be able to take you back.

However, even if I am not here, Rita and Theresa will take good care of you, and you can live in this world like an ordinary person."

"Shut up!"

Yuan Yu's eyes lit up with dazzling purple light, but the formations around him suddenly lit up, and all the power was suppressed in his body, unable to overflow at all.

As if he had expected it, he looked at Yuan Yu

"Captain, this formation is a composite formation I re-researched for an imaginary enemy based on that lunatic who wanted to unify the three kingdoms.

It also incorporates some formations specifically designed to suppress energy. Even with your extraordinary talent, you won't be able to comprehend it in such a short time."

Ah…

Guanxing smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"After sealing that madman, I started to think something was wrong, until the guard who stayed with me told me what happened after I lost consciousness.

At that time, I had a ridiculous guess: the madman... was the captain...

Thinking in this way, all the unreasonable things before seemed to become logical.

However, for the sake of the Huang Empire, even though I had this guess, I didn't dare to move the seal easily.

So, I've been researching a formation to deal with that lunatic for a while now, thinking that once I release him, I'll know if he's the captain...

I didn't expect you to show up...

There was no problem with the seal. At that time, I thought I was wrong and that the madman had no connection with the captain.

But walking with me tonight, I know you are the lunatic...

He single-handedly forced the Three Kingdoms to unite, indirectly saving the Huang Empire and... me...

Captain, you always appear by my side when I'm in the most critical moment... saving me time and time again...

But this time, please... stop..."

Guanxing slowly retreated outside the formation and looked at Yuan Yu who was constantly trying to struggle in the formation.

"No matter what the future holds, it is my responsibility as the first Sage King to keep Huangguo safe.

But, this is not your responsibility, Mr. Assassin...

You are not from this world, and it is enough for you to walk with me this far.

So, Mr. Assassin, please rest here peacefully tonight.

The formation here is complete, it will isolate the inside and outside, there will be no danger, by noon tomorrow, it will automatically dissolve..."

"Stop talking to yourself!"

A layer of purple mist has covered Yuan Yu's body, constantly eroding the power suppressed by the formation.

However, the power of this formation seemed to be endless, surging like waves and tides, constantly suppressing the power in him.

"This is not just a soliloquy, Mr. Assassin...

Protecting the safety of Huangguo is my responsibility as the first Sage King, and protecting you is my responsibility as a stargazer."

"... "

"Mr. Assassin... after today, I... should have become one of the stars in the sky...

Wait until next year's Qixi Festival... Mr. Assassin, if you still remember me... if you still remember me...

Mr. Assassin, please release a sky lantern for me... just like the one before...

Goodbye, Mr. Assassin..."

"Stargazing!!!"

Guanxing took one last look at Yuan Yu, then resolutely turned around and left.

She didn't know where she was going, but just kept moving forward silently, waiting for the moment of decision...

I do not know how long it has been…

boom!

Snapped!

boom!

There seemed to be a faint sound coming from far away. The stargazer turned his head slightly and what came into view was a small piece of sky with constantly changing colors at the end of his vision.

"fireworks…

Did Huangyue City safely pass the Qixi Festival?

That’s great…”

Guanxing couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

Suddenly, she discovered that the colors in the distance were spreading at an extremely fast speed.

The sky was filled with colorful scenes, and the scene instantly made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

"This formation again! Why!"

She hurriedly turned the compass that had been floating quietly beside her, trying to regain control of the formation, but found it was useless.

The formation is not being manipulated, but is about to explode!

"...All the energy flowing through the formation has gone into chaos... How is this possible! Even if all the formation points scattered across Huang Country had problems, these energies shouldn't have coincidentally caused such a large-scale conflict!"

Guanxing anxiously tried again and again to reconnect to the formation, but to no avail.

This formation spans the entire Huang Empire. If it were to self-destruct, the energy released would be...

Guanxing looked at the compass in front of him in a daze, which was constantly calculating and looking for a way out of the predicament, and suddenly a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

"I see... Is this the result of the hexagram? Ultimately, I still have to rely on you, Mr. Assassin..."

Guanxing stroked the compass in a trance. If it were before, she probably would have no way to reverse the fate of the destruction of the Huang Empire.

But with this compass, perhaps I can directly carve another large formation to dissipate the power of the formation's self-destruction.

And all she had to bear was... the backlash from the collision of the two formations...

"let's start…"

The stargazer stretched out his hand and hovered above the compass. The entire compass began to spin rapidly, emitting a hazy light.

The mental power that could only be used passively when setting up formations can now be used actively after training.

A steady stream of spiritual power is continuously poured into the compass, making the light it emits even brighter.

With her as the center, lines of formation appeared in the sky and quickly spread out in all directions...

Boom!

The colorful sky began to crack, and countless chaotic energies began to pour down. When they touched the formation set up by the stargazing team, a violent explosion suddenly occurred.

Boom!

For a moment, dazzling white light filled the sky and earth...

"Cough cough~"

The endless backlash force was continuously transmitted to the stargazing and compass.

There was blood oozing from the corner of Guanxing's mouth, but his eyes were still fixed on the compass in front of him.

"Not enough...faster! Please!"

Under the constant stimulation of stargazing, the compass turned faster and faster, and the hazy light became brighter and brighter, and the entire compass seemed to have turned into a white ball of light.

The formation patterns in the sky quickly spread to the horizon, and then slowly pressed up towards the colorful sky.

The two formations collided, the colors in the sky quickly faded, and soft white light continued to sprinkle on the earth.

Click~

Click~

“Ahem~

Hold on a little longer…”

Guan Xing heard the sound of shattering coming from the light ball in front of him, and begged through gritted teeth...

finally…

The colorful light between heaven and earth disappeared completely, and the remaining soft white light also slowly dimmed. Both formations disappeared...

A catastrophe was averted...

"That's it... it's over..."

cough~

Guanxing covered his mouth and nose with his hands as blood continued to flow out, and sat down on the ground helplessly.

The compass in front also slowly dimmed, fell to the ground, and trembled. The rotation speed became slower and slower, and bursts of crisp sounds continued to come out from it.

My consciousness gradually blurred, and my thoughts of stargazing drifted away...

What is that person...doing now?

Are you still trying to break free from her formation?

Yes... He is not the kind of person who gives up easily...

But... this time... it's a farewell forever...

Tread~

Tread~

Amidst the constant tinnitus, a discordant sound seemed to emerge...

It seems to be... footsteps...

Guan Xing turned his head with difficulty, his bloodshot eyes filled with crimson as he saw a familiar figure stumbling towards him...

Although it was blurry, she was sure it was that person...

"Mr. Assassin..."

Stargazing murmured, his body falling to the side weakly.

But she fell into a warm embrace, a blurry face right before her eyes, drops of warm liquid dripping onto her face, waves of vague calls that seemed close to her ears, yet seemed far away...

Mr. Assassin...are you crying again...

Why...and...it's obviously the first time I've seen...

Really... like a child...

My body... doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore...

That's it... take a break...

Click~

Click~

The turntable on the ground slowly stopped turning, and under Yuan Yu's trembling gaze, it broke into several pieces and scattered all over the ground...

"Do not…"

The moment the turntable broke, Guanxing's body suddenly began to crystallize and quickly spread throughout his body. No matter how Yuan Yu tried to control it, he couldn't stop it.

Finally, the crystals covered Guanxing's face, which seemed to be smiling, completely enveloping her...

Then, it suddenly shattered in Yuan Yu's arms and turned into fragments on the ground.

"Watch...watch the stars..."

Yuan Yu trembled as he looked at the crystal fragment in his hand, his eyes empty...

It shouldn't be...

It shouldn’t be like this…

Everything is obviously moving in a good direction...

If he hadn't given the compass to Stargazer...

If only he could have figured out Stargazing's plan sooner...

if…

if…

The memories in my mind seemed to resonate with each other, and countless similar yet different scenes kept emerging.

Guanxing seemed to stand before his eyes again, and then fell down again and again...

Mr. Assassin... This Qixi Festival is the happiest one I've ever had...

Mr. Assassin... please stop, this is enough...

Mr. Assassin... Let me protect you this time...

Mr. Assassin...

Everything finally freezes in the lifeless eyes of the stargazer...

This scene seems to have appeared countless times...

The thousand and one similar yet different memories of despair that suddenly appeared... seemed to have belonged to him...

He could feel the same sorrow as he felt at this moment...
