Li Shiwen took a sip of wine, raised his head looking at the sky full of white willow catkins, and suddenly smiled: “I wonder how happy those young ladies afraid of cold would be if they saw these non-chilling snow.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Qin Ran, but saw Qin Ran standing there motionless, holding a sword in one hand and catching a mouse in the other. He thought Qin Ran was enchanted by the willow catkins, and his smiling face twitched slightly, but he still smiled.
After another sip of wine, he sighed: “Brother Qin, farewell.”
“I’m really silly!” Qin Ran suddenly said.
Li Shiwen was taken aback, he’s not dead?!
Seeing Qin Ran was pondering, he asked: “What have you realized?”
“I only knew clothes and artifacts could not block the willow catkins, mystic arts could not keep away the willow catkins, but I didn’t know rocks and soil could block the willow catkins!” Qin Ran said.
The mouse hid in an underground burrow, so it was not affected by the willow catkins. This could only mean the willow catkins did not penetrate the ground.
Moreover, looking up, the mountains were covered in pure white willow catkins! Those catkins stayed on the surface without invading the underground.
“Underground?” Li Shiwen did not understand.
But Qin Ran did not answer him. Instead, he threw away the mouse and the sword, clenched his fist, circulated his power, and smashed the ground, making a deep pit. Then with another punch, he enlarged the pit.
"Step aside!"
At this time, Su Changqing's voice came, and Qin Ran looked back to see Su Changqing summoning a huge dragon-catching hand in midair, fist clenched ready to smash down.
Qin Ran hurriedly moved away, and the silver-gray big hand smashed heavily on the ground, shaking the earth, leaving a huge dent on the ground.
Su Changqing slashed his sword, bringing out sword energy to circle the bottom of the dent, smoothing its surroundings and bottom.
"You all get down there!" Qin Ran said to Li Shiwen.
At this time, Li Shiwen also understood Qin Ran's intention. He crawled out of the corpse and looked around, seeing skeletons all over the mountains.
Where was half a living person?
"No need." He shook his head with a smile. "I have no face to survive."
Seeing his look, Qin Ran sighed, flew up, brought out a water stream, circled several mountain tops, and when he returned, dozens of soldiers were added behind the water stream.
These dozens of soldiers were the last soldiers of the Seventy Thousand Tian Ce Army.
Qin Ran threw all the soldiers to the bottom of the pit, then went to Li Shiwen, picked him up with one hand, and said, "They still need you." After speaking, he also threw Li Shiwen down the pit.
"If I'm still alive, I'll come back to save you. If I die, Mr. Su here will come to save you. If Mr. Su also dies, you will have to fend for yourselves."
Qin Ran threw all the Grain Pills from his universe bag to Li Shiwen, then used the water stream to wrap mud to seal the mud pit, leaving a vent, and drained the water inside.
Seeing Qin Ran only sealed the soldiers in the mud pit and showed no intention of going down himself, Su Changqing couldn't help asking: "What about you?"
Why didn't a survivor like Qin Ran bury himself first?
"There are still three silly children at home." Qin Ran said.
"Hahahaha..." Su Changqing suddenly laughed loudly. So even a person like Qin Ran still had things more important than his own life.
"In that case, come with me to take a look!" he said to Qin Ran.
"Look at what?" Qin Ran did not understand.
Su Changqing was silent for a moment, looking out at the Hengduan Mountains, and replied: "See what a tragic scene this human world is."
After speaking, he turned into a sword and flew out of the Hengduan Mountains.
Qin Ran hesitated for a moment. He did understand Su Changqing's thoughts a little, but after all, he was a selfish person.
So he hesitated for a moment before turning into water and following Su Changqing out of the Hengduan Mountains.
In fact, Li Shiwen did make attempts, it's just evacuating hundreds of thousands of people near the Hengduan Mountains was too big a matter for him to decide alone. After all, he was just a martial artist.
He only had full control over his own camp, which he evacuated.
As for more, he had no right to intervene, he could only try to save them.
But the willow catkins floated over, more devastating than natural disasters. His Seventy Thousand Tian Ce Army all died in the Hengduan Mountains...
And now the willow catkins in the sky floated across the Hengduan Mountains, towards villages, towards cities. So it was seen that the air was filled with catkins for thousands of miles, the land was red for tens of thousands of miles, cities filled with white bones!
This whole process didn't even see blood, no fear, no screams.
There were conversations like this: "Wow, look at the big willow catkins!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Huh? Why did you shrivel up?"
"Oh? Why did you turn into bones!"
All the way here, it was the same as what was seen in the Hengduan Mountains, the sky and the ground were uniformly white, forests turned into red lands, living beings into dry bones, no smoke for thousands of miles!
More than ten miles out of the Hengduan Mountains, Su Changqing stopped flying. He stopped in midair, looking at the dead city below covered in willow catkins.
White, dead silence.
He didn't dare to look further, turned around, and looked towards the deepest part of the Hengduan Mountains. But the willow catkins like heavy snow blocked his sight.
Qin Ran caught up and saw another white dead city, silent.
The willow catkins kept floating forward...
In fact, Su Changqing did anticipate the scene of the Devouring Demon Willow swallowing everything, but seeing hundreds of thousands of people and creatures die with his own eyes had a much greater impact than he imagined.
He realized his position was not that high, his state of mind was far from transcending everything.
"Brother Qin, do me a favor!" he suddenly said to Qin Ran.
"What is it?"
"I know you left the Tribulation Lightning sealed under the thunder tribulation under the roots of the Devouring Demon Willow. I'd like your help...to trigger the Tribulation Lightning."
Qin Ran was puzzled. How did Su Changqing know he left Tribulation Thunder Pill? And why didn't he get rid of it after knowing it was there?
"Triggering it is useless, it's just the Tribulation Lightning at the Golden Core stage." Qin Ran shook his head.
"I will stop the willow catkins of the Devouring Demon Willow..." Su Changqing said, "And after the disappearance of the willow catkins, it will start crossing the tribulation. If you trigger the Tribulation Lightning again, using it to induce its tribulation of the great Dao, ensure that its heavenly tribulation must be triggered and stop generating willow catkins."
It was feasible to use Tribulation Lightning to trigger the heavenly tribulation. Hearing Su Changqing say this, Qin Ran was somewhat moved.
But there was a premise...
"How are you going to clear these willow catkins?" he asked Su Changqing.
Su Changqing took a deep breath and said, "Since it was a mistake I made, I will repay it myself!"
The power within him suddenly accelerated, the momentum suppressing Qin Ran, forcing him to retreat.
This was bad!
"What are you going to do?!" Qin Ran asked Su Changqing.
Su Changqing did not answer. He closed his eyes, secretly deducing, secretly calculating...
After a while, he opened his eyes, softly uttering two words: "Creation!"
A violent light burst out from his body. Qin Ran had to close his eyes and block with his hand.
When the light weakened somewhat, Qin Ran looked at Su Changqing again and found that his whole person had become fuzzy. He was shining, but his body was fuzzy. And around him, silver-gray willow catkins kept generating.
After these silver-gray willow catkins were generated, they immediately rolled up to the sky, as if attracted, flying towards those white catkins in the air.
"Brother Qin, you are a very interesting person, meeting you is Su's honor!" Su Changqing smiled at Qin Ran with a fist salute.
Qin Ran already understood what Su Changqing was doing. He deduced the method to divide the divine willow catkins of the Devouring Demon Willow with the Creation Dao scriptures, then inversely deduced it to demonstrate...
But the Devouring Demon Willow was still at the profound level after all, so Su Changqing had to use his own life to clear the willow catkins.
In fact, in this whole scheme of feeding the Devouring Demon Willow, Su Changqing was only the executor, not the planner. That he could have such awareness... Qin Ran didn't have such high awareness. Although he didn't speak, he respectfully saluted Su Changqing with folded fists.
The light grew brighter, Su Changqing grew fuzzier, and when the light shone to its extreme, Su Changqing disappeared.
The light exploded with a roar. Countless silver-gray willow catkins blasted out from the light, rolling back towards the Hengduan Mountains...
