Laughing at Chang'an

The birth and origin of the non-human race is impossible to test, but it is generally accepted that at the end of the last civilization, human beings developed taboo technologies to strengthen themselves and created mutant races.Most of them are similar to human beings in appearance, but they have all kinds of strange abilities, such as vampires, they can obtain the power, life and even memory of others through the exchange of blood...

The long sword named Blood Fang pierced through the Blood Rose Armor on Li Shen's body, piercing his heart with precision.Li Shen felt that the blood and power in his body were frantically rushing towards the long sword. He felt it was ridiculous, and even refused to believe that Baobao Yang wanted to kill him.

Because it's ridiculously funny.

He stroked her blood-red hair, although her appearance had changed a lot, but this was indeed Baby Yang, he would not admit her mistake.He had picked her up when she was eight years old, and there was no part of her body that he hadn't seen before. She was so soft when he hugged her, and he would never forget the feeling in his hands... How could she kill him?

Yang Baobao let go of the hilt in his hand, supported Li Shen's body with both hands, stood on tiptoe and put his head into his neck, muttering softly: "Ah Shen."

"Ok?"

"I'm going to bite you," she said.

Li Shen blinked weakly. Thanks to the sword, he has no strength at all and feels that the blood in his body is about to be sucked dry... But since she still wants to take another bite, then...

"Bite."

Mu Xiaobai, who broke through the obstacles and rushed into the palace, was about to burst into tears, but was held tightly by Tie Lian who followed closely behind him. He could only watch helplessly as Baby Yang bared his canine teeth and bit down on Li Shen's neck.

"Do not!!!"

Geng Liancheng and Zhan Lan who also arrived also showed astonishment, and at the same time, they heard an extremely mournful crow cry.

In the noisy battlefield, a blood-colored lightning suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, piercing through Yang Baobao's eyebrows.

On the city wall in the distance, Feng He, who was holding a bloody crown of thorns, was expressionless. A blood-colored crow fell from the sky, landed on his shoulder, and then disappeared.

Mu Xiaobai finally broke free from Tie Lian's obstruction, and crazily rushed towards Li Shen who fell backwards. The iron spear in Geng Liancheng's hand was faster than him, and the thrown spear pierced Yang Baobao's chest, holding her firmly. Nailed to the back of the towering throne.

"Boss, boss!" Mu Xiaobai took out the first-aid kit and stuck it into the side of Li Shen's neck. His fingers holding the needle couldn't stop shaking. It seeped out from under the skin, from under the eye patch of the right eye, and meandered to the whole face little by little.Immediately, the ashes-like powder began to peel off from that face, exposing the bright red flesh and blood inside, and then even the flesh and blood turned into powder ash... Mu Xiaobai didn't dare to move, and stared at Li Shen in his arms dully.

- very noisy.

【Shen, Shen, I can make hedgehog steamed buns, and I can also peel rabbit apples...】

[Two per day, you still owe me 120 eight buns...]

[It's done, pull the hook and hang yourself, you will marry me in the future, you are a liar. 】

With his eyes closed, Li Shen could still imagine the aggrieved expression on that little face, which made him want to poke and touch her, making her smile happily.She was wearing a white dress with floral patterns on her bare feet. In his small rented house by the Moon River, she jumped up and down on top of his head to force him to earn money to buy buns and a new dress. Bite him when you are happy.

He would also try every means to get into his arms while sleeping.

——Who is arguing.

Watching the little girl grow up day by day, Li Shen was relieved but also a little disappointed. When Xuetu 72 wanted to marry Yang Baobao to Zhu Xingyun, his first reaction when he heard the news was that he couldn't do it.No matter what the reason is.

But she will grow up after all, marry, have children, and become another man's woman.

He has no right to say no - because he can't give her the love she wants, he can't marry her.

All the voices suddenly disappeared, as if being sunk into the icy seabed, the heavy water pressure squeezed the body from all directions, this feeling is not unfamiliar, Li Shen knew it was coming again, this came from the malice of fate, once again descended upon him.

——Who is this time?It's him?Or Baby Yang?

The eyes of Yang Baobao who was nailed to the back of the chair had lost their luster, and the blood hole between her eyebrows had killed all her vitality. Even so, Geng Liancheng was not at ease. He pulled out his iron gun and stabbed at the girl who slid back to the seat again. .

The tip of the gun quietly stopped in front of the girl's opened pupils.

Holding the iron gun, Li Shen turned his head to look at Geng Liancheng, indifferently and without emotion, as if he was looking at a corpse.Geng Liancheng's instinct saved his life. In the ferocious aura suddenly released by Li Shen, even Mu Xiaobai was thrown into the air, and Geng Liancheng, who instinctively made a backward dodging posture, was thrown into the distance. The stone pillar then continued to move backwards, smashing through countless obstacles in a row, and finally nailed deeply into the distant city wall.

With cracked fingertips, Li Shen bent down and gently stroked Baby Yang's cheek.

"Hey, don't die."

"I will marry you."

………………

The situation in front of him has exceeded expectations, Zhan Lan took out a communicator to contact his subordinates, asking them to report the situation here to Chang'an.Before she could tell Baby Yang's identity, a hand snatched the communicator from behind. Feng He crushed the communicator indifferently in front of her, and grinned at her slightly. smile.

"you!?"

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Feng He walked past Zhan Lan as he spoke, and helped Mu Xiaobai who flew upside down. The tiny blood-red lightning bounced off the barrel of his right hand, and as a shot, Baobao Yang collapsed. He walked over to Li Shen's side indifferently, squinting at the dead girl on the throne.

"Don't go crazy in such a hurry, blood races don't die that easily." Feng He said in a cold tone, and turned his head to look at Li Shen. The latter's face was intertwined with golden threads and peeling flesh, which looked quite like an abstract painting. Incomparably ferocious.

Feng He asked: "Do you know the specific steps of the purification ceremony?"

Li Shen replied, "I don't know."

Feng He nodded, raised his hand and fired a gun into the sky. The shrill crow's cry instantly overwhelmed all other sounds, and reverberated in Qianhu City.The vampires who were fighting the Geng Army mercenaries stopped one by one, folded their wings and fell back to the ground one by one, kneeling down towards the palace in the middle.

Six of the highest-ranking vampires landed in the cracked palace, and the blood crown of thorns in Feng He's hand had less power to suppress them, at least they did not prostrate on the ground.The oldest among them took a step forward, with surprise and hesitation in his voice: "Human? How can you use our sacred artifact?"

"Let's talk about gossip later." Feng He carried the blood-colored spear upside down, and turned sideways so that the other party could see Baby Yang's appearance, "Your imperial daughter is dying, if you want to save her, tell me how to do the purification ceremony? "

The old vampire took a deep look at the bloody crown of thorns in his hand with his scarlet pupils, then turned his gaze to the blood rose armor on Li Shen's body, and then slowly said: "Since the three holy artifacts are here, then It’s time for the last step.”

He knelt down on one knee, and an old and loud voice came from far away from the palace: "The will of the ancestors in the long river, please listen to our call, wake up from deep sleep..."

Countless blood races followed closely and called: "Wake up!"

"The king guides the beacon, the glory bestows flesh and blood, and we sacrifice the purest blood to welcome your return..."

The vampires shouted wildly: "Come back! Come back! Come back!"

Although he couldn't understand the language of these blood races, Li Shen instinctively sensed something was wrong. He and Feng He looked at each other, and they both saw vigilance and anxiety in each other's eyes.At this time, the long sword of blood that fell at the feet of the two suddenly stood up and slowly rose in front of Baby Yang. A drop of blood fell from its tip. The sword surged out, drowning everything in sight without warning.

Wrapped in viscous blood, Baby Yang floated up from the throne, and the bloody long sword pierced her lower abdomen deeply. Li Shen and Feng He, who were also involved in the sea of ​​blood, both fell into a short trance at that moment. The influx is a long-standing memory passed down by the blood clan to this day, and it is fed back to their minds through the blood clan sacred artifacts on their bodies.

The moment he regained consciousness, Li Shen instinctively wanted to release the source energy field to disperse the blood around him, but the sea of ​​blood itself isolated the existence of source energy, and what he did was useless.The line of sight was blocked, and the perception lost its response. Through the information just obtained, Li Shen knew that this was the last step in the purification ceremony. Baby Yang's body would be finally transformed in this sea of ​​blood and become a brand new and pure carrier. .

That's right, carrier.

What will be awakened in the new carrier will be the will called the ancestor. Everything that belongs to Baby Yang has died. This is the so-called purification ceremony. Baby Yang is a sacrifice to awaken the will of the ancestor. In the enthronement baptism of the blood emperor, in the undegraded royal blood, a new atavistic blood will appear in each generation. When the old emperor's body decays, the new emperor will ascend the throne and inherit the so-called will of the ancestor.

Unwilling to inherit this cursed fate, the last blood returnee of the blood clan thousands of years ago signed an agreement with the mercenary king Li Sanduo, and together they destroyed the blood clan empire and killed the then blood clan emperor.She sealed her own bloodline and intermarried with human beings, so that the royal bloodlines of her descendants would be permanently degraded. However, thousands of years later, under the teasing of fate, Bao Baobao, a returnee of ancestral bloodlines, was born again.

The Blood Rose Armor on Li Shen's body greedily sucks the blood that surges around him. Among the three holy artifacts of the blood clan, the Blood Thorn Crown is the proof of kingship, while the Blood Fang and the Blood Rose Armor are twin holy artifacts that complement each other, and are power and glory. symbol of.The surging sea of ​​blood was sucked up by it at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood-drunk scarlet armor also gave power back to its host. This energy not only repaired Li Shen's body that was on the verge of collapse, but even subtly suppressed his body. Another strange energy in his body caused the criss-crossing golden threads in his left eye to retreat back to its original position.

Baobao Yang lay quietly in a cradle-like blood cocoon with his eyes closed, only showing a familiar face. Li Shen knelt down beside her, staring at that face wearily—no longer a girl, but a Mature female face.

She was no longer his baby, and when those eyes opened, it would be the emperor of the blood race, the so-called ancestor, who would wake up.

"I don't suggest you wake her up." Feng He stood on the other side of the blood cocoon with his arms folded, the crown of blood thorns hung back on his back, "You should be clear that it will only be a monster that wakes up, not Baby Yang .”

Right now, the ceremony is only short of the last step. The Glorious One, that is, Li Shen, will use his own blood to wake up the sleeping blood emperor.It's not as simple as just cutting your finger and feeding some blood. For the blood race, blood is the carrier of life, power and memory. In the past, the correct ritual steps were performed by the old king who was about to die, and exchanged his own death for the new king. birth.

Li Shen's purpose is to save Baby Yang, but now that Baby Yang has disappeared, there is no need for this ceremony to continue.

As the malice of that fate had shown—he had lost her.

"I don't understand." Li Shen stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar face, and said in a low voice, "Why did she make such a choice? Death can't redeem anything, it's just an escape. I made her choose such an escape." , chose self-destruction in madness."

"She was driven to a dead end by emotion, and it's not entirely your fault."

Li Shen shook his head.

"I can't just watch her die like this," he said.

He lifted the sleeping woman, brought his bitten lip closer, and kissed deeply.Blood, life, power, memory... He gave her everything he had without reservation. Li Shen didn't know what the ancestor's will was, but since she accepted his memory, there was still a glimmer of hope .

Li Shen handed over Baby Yang who lived in his life to her.
