After all, the contract was about sharing life.
At the moment of Song Yu’s death, the teenager should have died directly, but because the covenant was made too short, it slowed down his death.
Song Yu could have accelerated this process with the talisman paper, but in the end, he gave the teenager some time to accept this reality.
Unfortunately, now there’s no way to give him more time.
Song Yu took out the talisman paper prepared earlier for accelerating this process.
Su Zhiwei knew the function of the talisman paper the moment he saw it. He glanced coldly at Song Yu, but said nothing in the end.
Everyone’s gaze fell on the teenager in the middle of the summoning array.
At this moment, the teenager’s aura was already very weak. He lay on the ground, seemingly having bled out, as there were no more fresh bloodstains coming from his wounds. However, the ferociously crimson wound still lay across the teenager’s slender and fair wrist.
The teenager’s skin, which had probably not seen sunlight for a long time, appeared nearly translucent due to excessive blood loss, giving off a sickly beauty.
His hand still had traces of freshly spilled blood, resembling a blooming flower of death, its vivid red color almost seared the others’ eyes and caused their breath to hitch.
At this moment, the teenager seemed like a bubble in the sunlight, refracting beautiful colors, pretty yet fragile, and touching it would make it shatter.
Ruan Qing hadn’t lost consciousness; he was merely weak from blood loss. He understood the gazes directed at him, and his heart sank slightly.
They... wanted to kill him.
Ruan Qing lowered his eyes to hide the fear and anxiety in them. His face showed a trace of unease and fear, as if everyone’s gaze frightened him.
He struggled to prop himself up, attempting to escape, but just lifting his body seemed to exhaust all his strength, and he fell back to the ground. His fragile figure looked extremely pitiable.
Seeing the teenager’s scared attempt to flee, everyone understood that he had realized their intentions.
After all, they showed no concealment.
After the teenager fell, he tried to get up again, but he was too weak, making it very difficult to even prop himself up. He struggled to get up and fell again, and it looked very pitiful.
Originally, he was a young master who was pampered and raised, but within a day, everything changed. Facing ghosts and pursuers, he was now about to be killed.
Many people present couldn’t bear to watch him struggle to get up. After trying for a while, he couldn’t manage to stand up. In the end, it seemed like he gave up, with tears welling up in his beautiful eyes. Helpless and pitiful, he curled up on the ground, seemingly waiting for his impending death.
It seemed like he was about to accept his death, and he didn’t have to force himself anymore. His eyes turned red, with a hint of grievance in the depths, as if he would burst into tears in the next second. It was very heart-wrenching, and people wished they could hold him and comfort him, sparing him any suffering.
Instead, he had to be killed now.
Even if killing him didn’t mean real death, as he would exist in the form of a ghost, nobody was really willing to end his life.
However, they had no choice but to kill him now, because if he didn’t die, the summoning ritual wouldn’t stop.
Then the teenager would forever belong to the ‘deity’.
And it might be wishful thinking for them to see him again.
The seal on the wall was about to collapse. If the summoning ritual didn’t stop, the ‘deity’ would truly awaken.
Everyone reluctantly glanced at the teenager, and finally, the talisman paper in Song Yu’s hand floated in front of him, and he activated it.
The talisman paper instantly burned to ashes, turning into a black gas, flying towards Ruan Qing’s direction, passing through the summoning array that they couldn’t penetrate.
Clearly, they couldn’t delay any longer. It was already the limit to drag it until now. Ruan Qing watched the black gas approaching him with a hint of fear and panic on his face, but he calmly spoke in his mind, ‘System, is this an attack from a ghost?’
System: [Yes, it is.]
Song Yu was a ghost, and this move was a lethal attack, undoubtedly activating the item ‘Crimson Moon’.
But Ruan Qing didn’t harbor any illusions of its effect. The talisman could only protect him once, and as long as Song Yu attacked again, he would undoubtedly die.
What should he do to continue stalling for time...
The dark aura had already reached in front of Ruan Qing, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
However, in the next second, the wall at the back of the classroom shattered, revealing an immensely huge mirror that almost occupied the entire wall.
At the moment the wall broke, a large amount of black mist gushed out, floating in the air like a light veil, exuding a terrifying sense of danger.
Then, a dark figure appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, floating in the air without any point of support.
A powerful oppressive force instantly overwhelmed them, carrying endless danger, chilling and making it difficult to breathe.
It was a man, his long hair reaching his ankles, held together by a simple wooden hairpin. The flowing hair danced lightly behind him, showing no sign of disorder. He wore a black, ancient, and magnificent robe, emanating an endless chill and oppression.
Everyone widened their eyes, their pupils contracted, filled with fear and astonishment.
The ‘deity’... awakened prematurely before the summoning ritual was completed...
The man had an extremely handsome face, perfectly sculpted, as if crafted by the heavens themselves. His eyes were indifferent, looking down at everyone from a high position, revealing a cold and merciless demeanor, as if the people present were nothing more than ants.
To him, indeed, they were just ants.
Several people instinctively wanted to step back, but their bodies seemed to be restrained by something, stiffly staring at the dark figure in the air.
The black mist drifted like a veil, surrounding him, as if merging with him, full of danger and fear.
The ‘deity’ casually raised his hand, revealing slender and fair fingers with distinct knuckles. Just above his fingertips, a piece of talisman paper fluttered.
It was the talisman paper that had just burned to ashes in Song Yu’s hand.
But now, it strangely restored itself.
The talisman paper floated at his fingertips, and his fingers moved slightly. Terrifying power spread instantly, carrying an earth-shattering momentum.
The next moment, the talisman paper seemed to have been devoured by something, disappearing into thin air.
As if instantly annihilated, not even ashes were left behind.
The eyes of the onlookers were filled with astonishment. Was this the power of ‘deity’?
***
The entire First High School was engulfed in black mist, and even the light from nearby areas couldn’t penetrate through.
The black mist pervaded the entire sky, seeming endless, bringing a sense of boundless danger and oppression.
Ruan Qing looked at the ‘deity’ in the air, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly for a brief moment. He had finally waited for this moment.
By this time, the spatial division had long disappeared due to the black mist, and players from other spaces finally sensed something unusual happening in this teaching building and rushed over.
As soon as they entered the classroom, they saw the man in the air.
The players’ pupils shrank as they looked at the man in the black robe, their mouths opening but no sound coming out. Their eyes were filled with profound fear and horror.
What was this existence?
Just looking at him filled people with fear and dread from the depths of their hearts. Every cell in their bodies screamed to escape, but they seemed to be held captive by something, unable to even run away.
They couldn’t even escape.
Li Shuyang looked at the teenager on the ground and then at the figure in the air, his brows furrowing tightly.
The handsome man in the air paid no attention to the group and instead lowered his gaze to the teenager on the ground.
The next second, his figure appeared in front of Ruan Qing as if he was very interested in him.
With a slight movement of his finger, Ruan Qing’s figure floated up and stopped in front of him.
He gently extended his hand as if wanting to touch Ruan Qing.
The faces of the other people present turned completely dark; this posture seemed familiar to them. The ‘deity’ clearly woke up in advance for someone, no matter the cost.
Beside Song Yan, the space seemed unstable, and he spoke with a dark expression, “Don’t touch him!”
The handsome man paused at his words, glanced lightly at him, completely ignoring the others.
The group’s eyes were filled with hostility, but they didn’t rush recklessly to snatch the teenager. Instead, they stared fiercely at the handsome man, their eyes filled with venomous intent.
Why disturb his slumber? Why wake up?
Song Yan looked at the people beside him. They hesitated for a moment and then decisively attacked together.
Regardless of the seal or the teenager, this ‘deity’ definitely wouldn’t let them live. They might as well try to attack.
One person couldn’t defeat him, but with so many of them, there was a slight possibility.
After all, he had just awakened, and it was before the summoning ritual was completed. His control over his power hadn’t reached its peak.
Moreover, they had already merged with the black mist, maybe they could... kill a ‘deity’.
Seeing this, the handsome man’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Full of mockery.
After such a long time of not awakening, were there still such naïve creatures?
Thinking they could win by attacking together?
Or were they so influenced by his power? Arrogant to the point of considering themselves invincible.
The black mist was part of him; letting it enter their bodies meant being assimilated, becoming a part of him. Yet, they naively believed they could use his power.
Pathetic and laughable.
In fact, they were completely no match for him. After all, a ‘deity’ was still a ‘deity’, even if sealed for hundreds of years and just awakened, it was not an existence that anyone could challenge.
Even if they were a part of him.
However, the man did not kill them; he simply deprived them of their ability to move.
The man’s eyes were filled with indifference. He no longer cared about this group of presumptuous ants. Instead, he lowered his gaze and looked down at the boy who had summoned him.
His voice was gentle and pleasing, like the sound of jade beads falling on a jade plate, as he spoke his first words after awakening, “Your wish.”
