Chapter 249 Breaking the Darkness with Thunder

Last time we talked about how Li Yi and Nangong Xue were sealed in the Nine Netherworld by Jiuying’s resentment and sealed in the Nine Infants Valley in Wolf Mountain. Let’s continue reading and see how Li Yi breaks the seal.

Li Yi and Nangong Xue had been separated in the darkness. Here they could not make any sound, could not see any light, and there was only darkness and endless depression and coldness.

Nangong Xue kept shouting, she could not feel the spiritual power, could not feel the vitality, and even less could she feel Li Yi, this time she was really scared. She endured the biting cold, resisted the oppression that constantly eroded her will, she groped around, trying to find Li Yi, seeking hope of life or comfort in death.

Somehow she heard Li Yi's voice in her heart: "I asked you to kiss me just now but you refused. Now you don't have the chance to kiss me!"

Nangong Xue was speechless and could only ask in her heart: "Where are you? How can I find you?"

"You probably won't be able to find me. We are both trapped in different dimensions, unless you can break through the barrier of time and space."

"That's something that only people in the Transcendent Realm can do. How can I possibly do that?"

"Most of the Nine Netherworld Seal's intentions were placed on me, so your intentional power is not strong. With your cultivation level, it should be OK."

"I can't feel any spiritual power. It's already difficult for me to resist the cold and oppression with my own spiritual power. How can I have the energy to break through the barrier of time and space!"

"Now you can see the importance of sword intent. I will teach you how to use sword intent to its fullest extent. You break the barrier of time and space so that you can help me."

"Help you, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't I tell you that most of the Nine Netherworld's imprisoned mental power is on me, so I'm definitely not having it easy."

"From your voice, it doesn't sound like anything is wrong!"

"You'll know when you see me. I'm really not well, so you'd better come and help me as soon as possible."

"What's wrong with you? Li Yi, what happened to you?"

"Uh, my five senses and six consciousnesses are all sealed, and the only thing that can move is my thoughts. Fortunately, I practice Buddhism, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to find you."

"Then teach me quickly, and I'll help you right away!"

"Okay, calm your mind, clear your mind, and then release all the emotions and desires that you have suppressed over the years. Integrate the sword's will and swing the sword with all your strength!"

"You're asking me to give up my ruthless swordsmanship and destroy my own cultivation! Are you crazy?"

"Well, it does seem a bit forced, so forget it. Let's just chat until the darkness swallows you and me, and then we can be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

Nangong Xue placed the Ruyun Sword in her hand on her chest and slowly sat down. She asked, "Is there no other way?"

"I can only think of this method of breaking down and then building up. If you want to break the barrier of time and space, I really have no other way except your long-suppressed lust."

Afterwards, Nangong Xue and Li Yi fell into a long silence...

"Li Yi, are you still there? Li Yi!"

"I'm still here. I'm not dead yet. My Heavenly Soul is very strong, and it's not that easy for Jiuying to kill me with just his resentment. That's why he used this Nine Nether Seal to slowly wear away my will and vitality."

"Since we are all going to die, you can chat with me for a while longer."

"Yeah, okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Aren't you quite talkative? How come you don't know what to talk about?" Nangong Xue said this and then she realized that Li Yi must be in great pain at this moment. It was already difficult for her to resist the cold and depression, let alone him.

"Li Yi, if you don't know what to talk about, sing a song for me."

"Uh, I'm afraid that's not possible. Tuoba Jun and I have an appointment, so I can't sing for you alone."

"We're all going to die, so why bother with the agreement? Besides, you've already won."

"Hmm? Are you admitting that you love me?"

"I have fallen in love with you a long time ago. From the moment you used that song to confuse my swordsmanship, I have been fascinated by you."

"Um, I sang so many songs to you before that I don't even know which one it is."

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? It's already this hour and you're still teasing me!"

Nangong Xue heard Li Yi's long sigh in her heart. She imagined what kind of torture he was going through. She could no longer hold back her tears. She cried and complained, "It's all your fault. Why did you come to the Northern Territory for no reason? It would have been fine if you just came to the Northern Territory, but why did you have to show off your abilities and launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu royal court! You just had a fight with Dugu Long, and your body hasn't recovered yet! I helped you send your spiritual power, and I know how much your body has consumed! In order to help Dugu Long break through the bottleneck, you not only exhausted your righteousness, but also..."

Nangong Xue kept complaining for a long time, but Li Yi didn't respond. She suddenly stopped complaining and asked in tears: "Li Yi! Li Yi, are you listening? Are you still alive?"

As everyone knows, Li Yi can't stand seeing women cry, especially beautiful women crying, and most of all, he can't stand seeing his beloved beautiful woman crying.

"I'm sorry, I was too self-righteous. But there's nothing I can do about it. All of this is God's guidance. I'm just a pawn and can only move forward. I didn't expect to get you into trouble."

"What's the point of saying this nonsense! Can you sing for me?"

"In this case, I'm afraid my singing won't sound very good."

"It's just that your five senses and six consciousnesses are sealed! You are the most talented scholar in the Wei Dynasty, with endless mountains and rivers and endless melancholy in your heart. Can you still sing an ugly song? If you can't sing a good song, I won't love you anymore!"

"No! Don't be so superficial. Do you only care about this empty talent but don't love me as a person?"

"You are a scumbag and a playboy! What's there to love?"

"Hey, don't worry about those details. Can't my handsome face impress you?"

"When I fell in love with you, you were just an ordinary person with ordinary looks! Who would care about your appearance!"

"Well, I feel relieved when you say that. Even if I die, you will still be mine!"

"You can't die! I won't let you die!"

"Well, okay, I won't die, I won't die, I'll sing a song for you, and I just happened to think of a song."

Nangong Xue stopped crying and said, "Go ahead and sing. I'm listening."

"The distant mountains call me, I have passed by them thousands of times

Pick a few flowers halfway up the mountain and they will float towards the one who sings praises

After that simple feeling left, I never saw it again

On the last journey, I hummed along the way

They say leaving home is wandering, no matter how far

When you miss me, remember to open the window and look up

They say no matter where you are, you are always on the road

When the wanderer returns home in winter, he will not be afraid of the wind and waves..."

Nangong Xue's heart was filled with the sound of Li Yi's singing becoming fainter and fainter. She stood up nervously and shouted, "Li Yi! Li Yi! Don't die! I won't let you die! Li Yi! Speak!"

However, Nangong Xue did not wait for Li Yi's response. She panicked, completely panicked! She clenched the Ruyun Sword, closed her eyes, emptied her mind, released the desire that had been suppressed for many years, integrated it into the sword, and swung the sword with all her strength!

All she heard was the sound of jade breaking and air breaking, and the barrier of time and space was broken! She saw a golden light and rushed over immediately, but the scene before her instantly made her burst into tears.

But Li Yi was locked between nine black pillars with black iron chains and could not move. His mouth, eyes, ears, nose, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all pierced by black needles, and his clothes were soaked with blood.

Nangong Xue rushed over like a madman, trying to swing her sword to cut the iron chain, but no matter how hard she chopped, it was useless. She tried to pull out the black needle from Li Yi's body, but the moment she touched the black needle, she could feel endless cold and oppression, and she couldn't bear it at all.

Nangong Xue, who had given up her ruthless swordsmanship, was now an ordinary person with all her power gone. How could she resist the suppression of the Nine Netherworld Seal? She hugged Li Yi and cried, "Li Yi, didn't you ask me to come and help you? I'm here now, tell me how to help you! Tell me now!"

Without having to send his thoughts across time and space to Nangong Xue's heart, Li Yi felt relieved. He sent a voice message: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. You can't help me. I lied to you and only wanted to send you out."

Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "No! I won't go out. If you don't go out with me, I won't leave!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I can't hold on for much longer. I will use the last bit of my Buddhist teachings to send you out. This way, I can leave with peace of mind."

"No, I'm not leaving!"

"I'm sorry. No matter how much you cry, I won't do what you want. Although I won the bet, I can't be with you anymore. Don't cry. It's okay. It doesn't matter if I die. Hell is under the jurisdiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. When I get there, the Bodhisattva will take care of me. Maybe we can meet again."

A lotus seal suddenly lit up under Nangong Xue's feet. Nangong Xue said anxiously: "Li Yi! What are you going to do! I won't go, I won't go! Let me out!" Nangong Xue kept slapping the golden barrier around her body and crying.

With a swish, Nangong Xue disappeared, and the golden light around Li Yi disappeared, leaving only endless darkness. Jiuying's cold laughter came: "You are about to die and you still lied to her! It seems that you love her very much! If you die in my Nine Netherworld Confinement, your soul will be bound and you can't go to hell at all!"

"I know, as long as she's okay."

"You have exhausted the last of your Buddhist power. I'm afraid you can't even hold out for an hour."

"It's fine as long as she leaves. Are you satisfied this time, Jiuying?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied! You chopped off my head over and over again. Do you know how painful that was? I will make you pay me back a thousand times over!"

"Your death is nothing but physical pain. I have experienced it enough now. What else do you want?"

"Hehe, do you think everything will be fine if you let her go? She's a young and beautiful woman, all alone in this Wolf Mountain Valley. Even if she doesn't encounter any ferocious beasts, even if she encounters people from the Xiongnu royal court, how do you think they will deal with her?" Hearing this, Li Yi began to tremble all over.

"Yes, very good, that's the feeling! I will make you even more desperate! I have already led the vanguard of the Xiongnu royal court here. I am in a good mood today, so I can let you see the situation outside."

The black needles in Li Yi's eyes disappeared, and he regained his vision after a while. Jiuying showed Li Yi the scene in the valley, and he saw Nangong Xue sitting in the valley and crying loudly. Li Yi's tears could not stop flowing down. Jiuying felt that the torture on Li Yi was not enough, and the black needles on Li Yi's ears disappeared, and he regained his hearing.

Jiuying showed Li Yi the scene of the Xiongnu royal court's vanguard troops leaving the camp. Li Yi listened to Nangong Xue's crying and looked at the cavalry galloping on. The anxious and painful expression on his face made Jiuying feel very happy. Jiuying laughed and said, "You may see more interesting scenes later! Watching your beloved woman become a plaything under the crotch of the Xiongnu cavalry! Hahaha, this is so interesting! Watching you in such pain is so interesting!"

With a snap, the jade pendant on Li Yi's waist suddenly broke. It was the jade pendant that Zhu Wentai, a master of the Southern Liang Dynasty, gave him to save his life. It contained Zhu Zi's righteous spirit, but it was not used in the last battle with Luo Yan! But seeing the purple air rising and attaching to Li Yi's body, the latter instantly felt the recovery of his own strength.

The black nails on Li Yi's body began to tremble and fall off. Jiuying asked in surprise: "What, what's going on?"

Li Yi slowly stood up and said sternly: "Jiuying, I said it! If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"

Seeing that the iron chains around Li Yi were still stable, Jiuying said coldly: "Humph, even if you have positive energy injected into you, you can't escape my Nine Netherworld Confinement!"

"Humph, how can a beast like you who has been silent for two thousand years possibly understand the current magic! You should regret unlocking my five senses and six consciousnesses!
