"How can you be so stubborn? You're nothing like me."
Night-blooming jasmine sighed softly, gazing at Jiang Kehan.
"Teacher, you should know that it's because you compromised too many times in the past that you've ended up like this now, right?"
Jiang Kehan smiled, gracefully gliding past the other's spear as if dancing, and approached Ye Laixiang, speaking softly.
"That's why I won't compromise!"
"I will not give myself a chance to regret it, never."
Night Fragrance broke free from Jiang Kehan's advances. She covered the wound on her chest, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Then why can't you be more understanding of me?"
"I'm sorry... Kehan."
Night-blooming Jasmine closed her eyes slightly, looking at this student who had climbed from hell to earth countless times, treating pain as a ladder, and ruthlessly uttered her last words.
"Zhu Zhi, deal with them, but spare Jiang Kehan's life."
She released the shackles from the power of the Great Witch in her third stage.
But when Ye Laixiang opened her eyes, she didn't see the unconscious Jiang Kehan, but rather the other person's eyes wide with fury.
why?
Night Fragrance felt dizzy and looked down in confusion, only to find a hand piercing her chest and heart.
So, it turns out I'm the one who's going to die...
Her lips twitched, as if she wanted to laugh, but also felt a little regretful.
"Zhu Zhi!!!"
"who are you!!!"
"Me?" Zhu Zhi smiled, pulling out her arm, which was spotless, and said with a light laugh, "Your enemy, aren't you?"
The night-blooming jasmine, silent with its eyes closed, watched as the corpse fell heavily to the ground, kicking up countless specks of dust.
As for those vengeful spirits of witches, Zhu Zhi ignored them, throwing their corpses next to Jiang Kehan's legs and laughing indifferently.
"Is this what you wanted, little one?"
"But since I've given you what you wanted, shouldn't you also give me what I wanted first?"
"I've come to pick it up myself!"
Zhu Zhi said cheerfully, completely ignoring the murderous intent that filled Jiang Kehan's eyes.
Chapter 431 Shattered Hope... and the Necklace
Jiang Kehan watched as the night-blooming jasmine gradually turned into a shattered, fluorescent corpse. A few specks of dust fell from the body, bringing with them a sense of desolation.
However, besides anger, the other person's face surprisingly carried a hint of serenity.
In the battlefield at dusk, the breeze was like a low, distant horn, yet tightly bound by resentment.
The mission of Night-Blooming Jasmine has actually been completed. With the commencement of the ceremony, the outbreak of war outside, and the acquisition of Keva Miller, all opportunities will enter their final countdown.
Whether she lives or dies, these things will inevitably happen, including the gradual reopening of the portal.
Jiang Kehan wanted to kill Ye Laixiang for two reasons: firstly, to save Ye Yu, and secondly, to work with Xiao Lilith to seize control of the ritual.
After all, no one knows what price the Night-Blooming Jasmine and the Wraith Witches paid, or what consequences they will bring.
What Night Fragrance doesn't care about, Jiang Kehan and Little Lilith must care about.
But all of this was based on Jiang Kehan personally killing Ye Laixiang.
Night-blooming jasmine was ultimately a witch; she never truly betrayed anyone, but merely pushed herself onto the altar of sacrifice to atone for her sins.
If Jiang Kehan can kill her, then Ye Laixiang will take the initiative to drive away Zhu Zhi, ensuring the safety of the Time Gate and reducing unnecessary losses.
Now, Ye Laixiang has died at the hands of Zhu Zhi, whom she should have restrained, and everything has changed.
No one could be sure what this completely unknown and clearly hostile alien race would do after gaining control of the ritual.
Therefore, Jiang Kehan did not make any rash moves. She stared at Zhu Zhi, who looked like a normal working person, her whole body trembling slightly.
In her eyes, the other party seemed to be wearing a sinister mask, but inside was a cold and profound void. She couldn't figure out the other party's strength or guess what the other party was thinking.
It's far more terrifying than facing the night-blooming jasmine directly.
Zhu Zhi, who was in a distance, did not rush to approach. Instead, she looked at Jiang Kehan with great curiosity, but her smile disappeared.
"Can you tell me who gave you the necklace around your neck?"
"If your answer satisfies me, I don't mind leaving now."
Zhu Zhi spoke somewhat flippantly, but her gaze remained lifeless. Regardless of whether the other party was telling the truth, she had to take them away.
Anything related to the sunset must never fall into places beyond her control.
"Are you talking about this?" Jiang Kehan couldn't help but raise the necklace, her body stiffening and her tone fluctuating.
"This is a token of love left to me by my lover."
Jiang Kehan didn't want to answer the other party, and was even too lazy to waste time with them. She originally wanted to use the time-space gate management authority that had fallen into her hands after Ye Laixiang's death to call Little Lilith to notify the other great beings.
But she couldn't do it, and her body and mind seemed to go against her instincts, and she began to answer the other person very honestly.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan saw that "God" and Celia were clearly unconscious, and obviously, they were in the same situation.
This complete control, with everything falling into the other party's hands, was beyond Jiang Kehan's logic and understanding.
"Oh?"
The surroundings became unusually calm. A gentle breeze swept away fallen leaves and dust, and the original darkness and red color disappeared completely, leaving behind the same sunset and sky as usual, along with a few stars.
Zhu Zhi was clearly taken aback. She tapped her chin with her slender, fair fingers, her gaze suspicious.
But she didn't dwell on the answer. Instead, she suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Kehan, half-squatting down, and smiled at Jiang Kehan.
"Since you haven't given me the answer I want, I'm afraid I'll have to make do with this."
"Whether it's you or your lover, I will take them both away."
Zhu Zhi patted her knees, then stood up, completely unconcerned about the murderous intent and resentment in Jiang Kehan's eyes, and the space-time portal that was beginning to emit strange noises.
Instead, she hooked her arm around Jiang Kehan's neck, wrapping herself around her like a close friend.
"Wow, what an incredible feat!" Zhu Zhi said with some emotion as she looked at the portal that had been rapidly reopened because of her.
"There are some experts among you witches, even I had to avoid them."
"But...you're not thinking of running away, are you?"
She squinted, pinched Jiang Kehan's cheek, and spoke with a hint of pleasure.
"Aren't you underestimating me a little, little guy?"
"Although it's a bit troublesome, I can still manage to leave here."
"Your and Ye Laixiang's expectation that the time portal can be restarted to connect with reality and force me to face a powerful enemy is somewhat laughable."
Shan Ling Shi Qi San Si. Yue-Yi Jiang Kehan instinctively believed the other party's words, just as Ye Lai Xiang never doubted them.
Her body and mind went against her own will once again.
But Jiang Kehan did not give in. She gritted her teeth and dug her nails into her palms, trying to use the pain to trigger her witch's instinct to evolve and escape from all of this.
Although the chances of success are slim, this is the most hopeful thing she can do.
Jiang Kehan looked at Zhu Zhi's profile. Although the other person looked harmless, all she saw was a growing despair that gripped her throat.
Night-blooming jasmine, what have you done?!
Jiang Kehan wanted to question Ye Laixiang, but she also knew that this was a sign of her own panic.
Jiang Kehan exhaled cold air, as if she wanted to expel the blood along with the other person's control, and then closed her eyes.
No... I can't give in here.
If I fall here, not only will I be unable to save the witches who are already dead, such as Keva Miller, but I will also be condemned to my own death.
Perhaps the only good news is that the "God" and Celia here are just parts of their original selves, and even if they die, it won't change anything.
Jiang Kehan felt her body gradually weakening and found that her mind was also becoming hazy, as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep.
You can't fall asleep, or you'll be completely doomed.
Jiang Kehan, you have to think about what can stir up your emotions, whether it's more intense anger or resentment. As long as there is something, you can delay falling into a coma a little longer and have a little more hope!
She questioned her inner self, roaring at herself. Perhaps a miracle heard her wish, for they began to dissipate, stripping Jiang Kehan of her power while bringing her a brief moment of clarity.
The brain becomes agile again.
What she remembered were the beautiful times she had with other people, which, though as fragile as fireflies, were already etched into her heart, her bones, and everything about her.
Jiang Kehan finally turned her gaze to her necklace and gave a wry smile.
"I hope the portal to time and space can prevent you from knowing, Li Hui..."
"I never imagined that I would be the one to break my promise first and step into the unknown of death."
"..."
She spoke these words in her heart, having already made her decision.
Regardless, she had to destroy this token of their love; she had to prevent Zhu Zhi from finding Li Hui through the necklace's connection.
Perhaps Zhu Zhi didn't really intend to kill her?
Jiang Kehan closed her eyes as if she were deceiving herself.
At the same time, the magic that had been left in the necklace was activated, and the program left by Li Hui began to run as the necklace broke.
In the darkness, a compassionate light suddenly arrived, gently kissing her lips.
Chapter 432 Never Forgotten
what is this?
Jiang Kehan felt like a thirsty traveler in the desert who suddenly felt a rare drop of sweet dew on his lips and subconsciously licked it.
She blinked her eyes, still a little dazed, and gradually came to her senses as she felt the warm light outside.
