第三千八百九十章 十面埋伏

【Dear readers! More heart-stirring and unexpected books are coming your way. Please take a moment to rest!】

Golden Light琉璃, this phoenix may not match true divine birds in power, but its presence was formidable.

With a flap of its wings, it unleashed a flurry of spiritual flames, viciously diving towards the storm's eye ahead.

At the heart of the storm, the coiled dragon formed by the accumulated lightning was vivid and lifelike. Its proud aura was on full display as fangs and claws were bared.

Boom!

The thunderous sound echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears as the dragon and phoenix collided mid-air.

The heavenly tribulation was fierce, reaching its critical moment. There was no room for clever tricks; all that mattered now was whether Qinxin could hold her ground against this wave of calamity.

This was it—either she would survive, breaking through to a higher realm, or fall in the tribulation and be lost forever.

Lin Xuan’s anxiety was palpable, but he had done his best. No matter how many tricks he had at his disposal, he couldn’t intervene now. Even if his heart ached, he could only wait silently from the sidelines.

Lin Xuan’s expression betrayed no emotion—perhaps he was too worried to feel anything anymore.

For him, even a second felt like an eternity, as though it had been a hundred years.

The ground of Drifting Cloud Valley was now unrecognizable. Mountains and trees had crumbled into dust under the might of heaven.

Only within Qinxin’s vicinity did a few feet remain untouched.

However, the situation began to turn against her. As spiritual light flickered around her, the golden phoenix started to fade.

Despite the elixirs she had consumed, Qinxin's power still seemed too weak.

Crackling sounds filled his ears as the lightning dragon grew more powerful, swallowing mountains and rivers in its rampage, tearing the golden phoenix into two halves with its fangs.

With no opponent left, it was unstoppable.

Boom!

The thunderous roar echoed through Drifting Cloud Valley, engulfing everything in a blinding light.

The grotesque dragon seemed cunning as a snake, and Qinxin was its target.

Had she failed at the last moment?

Lin Xuan’s eyes bulged with rage, ready to intervene.

He knew it was foolish to fight against the laws of this plane alone, but he couldn’t care less. He simply couldn’t bear to watch his wife die before his eyes.

No way!

Defend the gods; slay demons!

Even if it meant throwing himself into a fiery death, Lin Xuan decided to be that fool once more.

Otherwise, he would spend eternity in remorse.

Better to fight and fail than to suffer endlessly.

"Spouse, stop. Otherwise, I will self-destruct my essence."

Lin Xuan was prepared to risk his life, but as his wife, Qinxin understood his mindset all too well.

No matter how powerful her husband might be, he couldn’t single-handedly combat the entire plane’s forces.

So, when Lin Xuan first had the thought, she warned him preemptively. Her death was not a concern; she wouldn’t let it drag him down with her.

Her tone was resolute, without any hint of jest.

Lin Xuan felt bitter but couldn’t stop his escape light. He knew Qinxin too well.

Among his few close friends, Qinxin might be the weakest in terms of power and background compared to Peacock Yue'er. But Lin Xuan understood her—she was soft on the outside but strong within.

She refused to burden him or risk herself for a chance at survival. She meant it.

If he intervened to block that tribulation, Qinxin would likely self-destruct her essence.

Reluctantly, Lin Xuan stopped.

He felt both guilt and pain.

They had seen so little of each other, yet this might be their final meeting.

Tears blurred his vision.

Lin Xuan was not as strong as he appeared. Men don’t shed tears easily; they just haven't reached the point where it matters.

"Qinxin, you must live."

He whispered to himself, filled with regret and memories of their time together—first meeting on Jade Cloud Mountain, then coincidentally bumping into each other on Quinei Mountain. She was once a highborn lady like a fairy, while he had just begun his journey as an immortal.

Yet fate seemed to intertwine them, fighting side by side against the White Sword Immortal. Warmth flowed between their hearts.

Later, Lin Xuan’s situation changed dramatically. He saved Qinxin from poison in the Unsettled River, and they grew closer. Despite her lofty status, she had become his partner in cultivation, though he cared for Yue'er more deeply.

Was it because of familiarity or a change in circumstances?

But Qinxin never complained.

Did this mean she didn’t matter to him?

"No..."

He realized now that he was wrong. Once you've seen the ocean, other waters can't compare. He couldn’t bear to see her fall.

If she lived, he promised himself, he would never neglect her again.

But would fate give him a chance?

Who knows?

Tears clouded Lin Xuan’s vision as guilt and pain clouded his mind.

But this was only a momentary lapse.

The激昂的琴声再次唤醒了Lin Xuan。

欧阳还没有放弃。但她已经使出了所有手段,回天乏术。

九天妙灵丹补充的法力也在刚才消耗殆尽。

Qinxin的脸色变得更加苍白。

她的手抬了起来。

虽然欧阳琴心是绝代佳人,但与Peacock Yue'er相比,她的美逊色不少。然而,她那双十指芊芊、素手若兰的手却格外美丽。

或许是长期弹奏的缘故,手指修长而细腻,似乎还散发着香气。此时,那些嫩如春葱的指尖已经鲜血淋漓。

她怀中的七弦琴也已断成数截。

而这可是她的本命宝物,刚才她一拂琴弦便变得支离破碎。

不仅琴弦断裂,古琴表面亦出现了裂纹。

Qinxin口中更是鲜血喷薄而出。

对于修士来说,本命宝物被毁是极为糟糕的结果。轻则重伤吐血,重则走火入魔。

而此时,她还面对着天劫的最后一波,也是最可怕的。

无论结果如何都十死无生。

四周传来惊呼:“师母!”

身后,公孙玉儿、上官姐妹的声音带着痛苦,几个丫头已经悲痛欲绝。云隐宗的其他弟子心中也五味杂陈。

然而林Xuan没有哭泣,反而击节赞叹:“妙,绝处逢生,十面埋伏!”

在旁人眼中,欧阳琴心或许已注定陨落,但Lin Xuan的眼光与众不同。诚然,表面上看,Qinxin很难挡住最后一波天劫,但世事难料。
