There is a place in the endless land, dyed with white and red, which seems very incompatible with the seemingly peaceful surrounding environment.

Xuanyuan leaned against the boulder holding the golden sword in her hand. The fatigue on her face needed no words to describe. The determination in her pupils made people feel particularly pitiful and heartache.

The monster in front of her was so huge that it seemed like it could swallow the earth with its mouth, reducing the earth's land area by a large amount.

But now, this monster opened its huge mouth, and the light reflected from the fangs made Xuanyuan feel dazzling. His eyes, which were already half-closed due to exhaustion, closed directly, as if he had given up the struggle.

.

"Sorry, Shennong..." Xuanyuan said this with great difficulty and sat on the ground, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."

He was not even prepared to pick up the weapon again, and the result of losing had already become a fact.

If you lose, this land will disappear.

If you lose, your home will be destroyed.

If you lose, everyone in the tribe will die.

Then Shennong will also die - but he will be the first to die, right? If he dies...

Will he be sad?

Xuanyuan looked back on the past and found that Shennong had always shown a strong appearance in front of him and had never seen him cry because of anything.

"I wonder if you will cry for me once?"

Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore...

After all, there’s no way he can be saved, right?

The monster in front of him - Chi You's body has occupied the entire sky. It cannot be described as covering the sky and the sun. Xuanyuan can imagine that if Chi You continues to devour things, only warriors of Feng Chen and Chi Yuan's level can defeat it.

Darkness swallowed Xuanyuan's body.

In the darkness, a warm hand grabbed Xuanyuan, and then the owner of the hand hugged her and moved deeper.

"who is it?"

In fact, it's not difficult to guess who it is. Because isn't there only one person who is willing to risk his life for him?

Xuanyuan struggled, hoping to break free from Shennong's arms - even though he knew there was no point in doing so.

"Let me go, Shennong."

"don't want."

This conversation was repeated several times until Xuanyuan gave up and broke away from Shennong's arms.

"Are we going to die?"

The answer doesn't need to be said at all.

After waiting for a while, Shennong stopped, looked at Xuanyuan in his arms, and made a decision.

"Xuanyuan, give me the sword."

"Eh? It's the key to control..."

Without waiting for Xuanyuan to make a decision, Shennong directly stretched out his hand and touched the hilt of the sword.

Can't pick it up.

It's not that I don't have enough strength, it's that I don't want Shennong to pick up this sword at all.

Why?

To say that Shennong did not have the heart to protect others, the first person who did not believe it was Xuanyuan. The reason why Shennong came here for Xuanyuan was definitely because of his heart that wanted to protect others.

"Give up, you can't pick up this sword."

A voice sounded in Shennong's mind.

"You do have the heart to protect others, but..."

"Let me put it bluntly, compared to Xuanyuan who doesn't use weapons, your strength is still far behind."

Shen Nong was busy studying herbal medicine and neglected his training, so he had been distanced by Xuanyuan for a long time.

Xuanyuan possesses the Holy Mark, while Shennong has the Honkai Energy adaptability due to the influence of Xuanyuan. Essentially, there is a big difference between the two.

Shennong fell silent. Apparently Xuanyuan knew why Shennong couldn't pick up the Key of Domination, so he didn't speak.

"Actually...it's nothing, right? Even if you pick up the Key of Dominance, it won't change much."

"But in the end we can be together, and I'm satisfied."

It was as if he was waiting to die.

However, Shennong did not intend to die here.

Shennong had made up his mind to protect Xuanyuan a long time ago, so...

"If I can't protect you, won't I become a guy who can't fulfill his promise?"

A faint blue light flickered in front of the two people.

Just from the bright light, you can feel how powerful this light source contains.

"There is a way."

Shennong put down Xuanyuan and walked towards the light source.

Xuanyuan, who understood what he was going to do, wanted to get up, but was unable to stop him because of the torn wounds on his body.

"Don't go there, Shennong!"

Once Shen Nong touches such a powerful Honkai energy reaction, he may die while gaining powerful power.

This is the last thing Xuanyuan wants to see. What is he fighting for? In the end, it is not for the future.

For the future that belongs to two people.

If Shennong died here, even if he could get out, he would have lost his purpose.

"Fool..."

"I obviously want to fight like this for our future. What's the point of fighting if you die like this!"

This is Xuanyuan's inner voice.

After hearing this, Shennong stopped and his hand was only a few centimeters away from the light source.

"I won't let you die alone..." Xuanyuan propped up his body, walked to Shennong's side with unsteady steps, and grabbed his hand.

"Let's fight together."

The hands of the two of them reached into the light source without any hesitation.

There is one of Chi You's hearts.

The Honkai energy contained in it may be able to directly create several emperor-level Honkai beasts. No wonder Chi You is so strong.

Bella, who is at her peak, is as powerful as Herrscher Mimetic. In her opinion, it will be very difficult for her to fight Chi You at her peak.

Moreover, that was Chi You after being sealed by Xuanyuan, and his strength was somewhat weakened compared to the past.

"Buzz——"

Xuanyuan Sword fell into the hand of Shennong that was caught by Xuanyuan.

The two of them raised the golden sword together and struck Chi You's heart, leaving a huge wound. The Honkai Energy inside quickly leaked out. Then, the two people soaked in Honkai Energy raised their swords high again.

The golden sword pierced the ground beneath his feet that was swallowed up by Chi You.

"Our strength may not kill you..."

A holy mark actually appeared on Shennong's head. At the last moment, Shennong possessed the holy mark, and it was a unique holy mark [Shen Nong].

"But we can pay with our lives—"

The same is true for Xuanyuan. However, the light released by her holy mark is more dazzling than in the past, and finally formed her exclusive holy mark [Xuanyuan].

""Sleep!""

Wait and hope.

This is what Xuanyuan and Shennong are doing now.

Their bodies turned into spots of light and gradually disappeared into the air. At the last moment, Xuanyuan hugged Shennong off guard and stood on tiptoes.

Finally, their lips touched each other.
