Chapter 126 The Fall of a Star
"Jingyuan! There are too many!"
Ying Xing smashed three monstrous creatures away with his hammer and roared, "If this keeps up, we'll all die first!"
Jing Yuan frowned, issuing orders while directing his lightning generals to continuously bombard the swarm of insects ahead.
He was well aware that this was a slow death.
but……
Just then—
"General!!"
A piercing scream came from the communication channel.
Everyone's heart tightened at the same time.
Looking in the direction of the sound.
At the forefront of the battlefield.
The golden tree trunk had been almost half destroyed, and the huge cracks were shocking to behold.
—That was typed by Teng Xiao.
But the price was the complete annihilation of the Royal Guard.
Not one left.
Meanwhile, Teng Xiao himself was being pierced by three tree branches at the same time.
A rod passed through the left shoulder.
One pierced through the abdomen.
One went through the thigh.
The silver-white armor was stained red.
Blood gushed from the wound, turning into countless red specks in the weightless universe, like scattered fireflies.
Teng Xiao... lost.
"General—!!"
Countless Cloud Cavalry soldiers' eyes were bloodshot with rage.
Danfeng and Jingliu immediately wanted to rush over to support Teng Xiao.
However, it was entangled by countless "resurrected" companions and a constant stream of evil creatures.
Hahahaha—!
A sudden burst of laughter echoed throughout the crimson realm.
Thousands of faces laughed simultaneously, their voices overlapping like echoes from a nightmare from which one could never wake up.
"Did you feel it?"
"This is His gift!"
"Life should be like this—brilliant!"
Teng Xiao was suspended in mid-air.
The armor shattered, and blood flowed freely.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he laboriously turned his head.
His gaze pierced through the smoke and fire of the battlefield, past countless figures locked in combat.
Finally, he met Jing Yuan's gaze from the other side of the battlefield.
That young man whom he had personally promoted.
That young man he watched grow from a greenhorn into a capable general.
Teng Xiao's lips moved slightly.
No sound came through, but Jingyuan understood.
"The rest... is up to you."
In that instant, Jing Yuan's hand holding the knife trembled violently.
But only this once.
The next second, he gripped the knife handle tightly again.
Firmly and steadily.
……
Teng Xiao withdrew his gaze.
He stopped looking at Jingyuan.
He looked up at the swiftly approaching figure—a colossal body composed of countless distorted faces and crazed eyeballs.
Teng Xiao could sense that Shu Hu was trying to absorb him to heal his injuries.
With his last ounce of strength, he pressed his hand to his chest.
I'll beat you to death.
That should be enough to disgust you, right?
His eyes held no fear of death, only boundless rage and resentment.
"Brilliant...?"
Teng Xiao grinned.
The next moment, golden light burst forth from his chest.
With the last of his strength, Teng Xiao roared out his final words.
"Brilliant...your mom..."
"For the sake of—the Immortal Ship—!!!"
boom----!!!
Teng Xiao chose to self-destruct, and the blinding golden light instantly engulfed a large patch of tree branches.
A violent explosion erupted in the starry sky, causing the crimson realm to tremble.
Everyone on the battlefield stopped moving.
Enemy or ally.
Everyone looked toward the light.
……
The light dissipated.
It suddenly stood there again.
But the already battered body now has an even bigger crack.
But beneath the shimmering blood, the wound was slowly closing.
General Teng Xiao... has turned into countless specks of light, leaving no trace of his body.
A rising star of the Luofu era.
Teng Xiao.
—And so it fell.
……
General Teng Xiao was killed in battle.
When that roar, filled with endless rage and resentment, resounded through the starry sky, when that dazzling golden light swallowed up half of his body in an instant.
The entire battlefield seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
All the Cloud Cavalry soldiers stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the starry sky.
The general... is dead?
Their invincible war god, the general who led them to countless victories and protected Luofu for hundreds of years.
He just... fell like that?
"General!!!"
It is unknown who first let out a mournful cry, but then, a deafening chorus of wails echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
Jing Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the starry sky where the light had faded.
There was nothing left there except for the fleeting moment of rapid, wriggling recovery.
he knows.
The old general who always patted him on the shoulder, laughing and scolding him, told him to learn more and that he would take over his position in the future.
Never again... can we come back.
"Ahhhhh!"
Yingxing let out a beastly roar, and the giant hammer in his hand unleashed unprecedented power, smashing all the abundant creatures around him into mincemeat.
Danfeng gripped the spear tightly, remaining silent.
But his knuckles turned white from the force, and his golden dragon eyes surged with overwhelming killing intent.
Jingliu's sword was still being wielded, but the sword light seemed colder and more...ruthless than before.
Bai Heng's vision was already blurred by tears.
But she still bit her lip tightly, and her arrows never stopped.
She knew that now was not the time to be sad.
The general gave his life to create this opportunity for them; they cannot let him down!
"Hahaha! Foolish mortals, do you think you can kill me like this?" Suddenly, thousands of faces simultaneously erupted in ear-piercing laughter. "Your struggles only bring me pleasure!"
The massive wound inflicted by General Teng Xiao's self-destruction of his golden core was healing at a visible speed under the shroud of crimson light.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Even the general's last, desperate strike couldn't kill him completely?
Beyond the sky.
Countless people stared blankly at the spot where the golden light had dissipated, their minds completely blank.
died?
General Luofu, who led the Cloud Cavalry and charged fearlessly towards the envoy, just like that... died?
No...no way?
[General...]
General Teng Xiao! No!
How could this happen... Such a powerful general, just like that... self-destructed?
[That was so frustrating! His death was so unjust! He didn't even leave behind any remains!]
[Waaaaah... I can't accept this! What kind of nonsense is this?! I risked my life, even self-destructing, and the monster wasn't even seriously injured!]
Is this the messenger...? Is this the power of the Messenger of Abundance...? This is utter despair...
The live chat was filled with wails of despair.
Countless viewers paid tribute and shed tears for this general, whom they had never met, who embodied the spirit of "protection" with his life.
The atmosphere on the Starry Sky Train was extremely oppressive.
"How could this be...?"
"No..." March 7 covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't accept this ending.
That brave general, that hero who fought to protect his homeland.
In the end, they were reduced to ashes without a trace...
Hoshi clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling slightly with anger.
Dan Heng's face was as pale as paper.
He stared at the point of light left behind by the self-destruction in the sky, his body trembling slightly.
I don't know why.
He seemed to be able to feel the overwhelming anger and... grief surging within the "self" in the sky.
Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance, both seeing the heaviness in each other's eyes.
"The power of the Commander, its regenerative ability is terrifying." Walter's voice was hoarse. "Conventional attacks are unlikely to inflict fatal damage on it."
"Then...what should we do?" March 7th asked, her voice trembling with tears. "Is there really no way?"
