Xu Lei was still persuading Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan, heavily wounded, his breath was already dying.
He was being held in Xu Lei’s arms, his feeble voice, slowly ringing out.
“Lei’er, little… Little Brother Fan, I’m really sorry for you.”
“I said that I would… Would protect you for a lifetime of peace.”
“But in the end, I have to let you, accompany me to fall on this Cloud Top Mountain.”
Ye Fan’s words were written with powerlessness and despair.
Tang Yun’s appearance, and her desperate attitude, had ultimately shattered all of Ye Fan’s confidence.
There was no hope.
Ye Fan knew that this battle was completely hopeless.
He was already at the end of his rope, unable to fight Tang Yun at all.
Moreover, even if he did have the strength, Ye Fan didn’t know if he himself would be able to lay a hand on Tang Yun.
And apart from him, those who were left, there was no one who could stand up to Tang Yun.
“No, Little Brother Fan, don’t give up…”
“We still have the Moon God?”
“The Moon God will help us hold back the Chu Sect Sect Master.”
Xu Lei was unwilling to give up just like that, she encouraged Ye Fan and kept his heart hopeful.
However, Ye Fan shook his head and smiled ruefully.
“It’s useless.”
“Yue’er, she, is too badly injured.”
“Grandma Tai, even if the medical skill is as heavenly as it is, it is absolutely impossible to make Yue’er recover as before in this short period of one or two days.”
“That silly girl is just dragging her crippled body to fight.”
“She won’t last long.”
Ye Fan spoke in a low voice.
The situation here was something he had already seen through.
The appearance of Tang Yun and the Two Elders of Xuan Hei had undoubtedly made it impossible for them, the Dragon God Hall, to turn the tide any longer.
As Xu Lei listened to this, the only hope left in her heart was undoubtedly gone.
Tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably.
“It won’t happen, Brother Little Fan, we’ll definitely find a way…”
“We won’t just lose like this…”
“There will definitely be another way…”
Xu Lei shed tears of misery.
But Ye Fan’s heart had long been ashen, and he was ready to die.
Only, pity for his Lei’er, pity for his Yue’er, and those who followed him behind Ye Fan.
“Lei’er, don’t cry.”
“Your little brother Fan, even if he is at the end of his rope, he will still keep you safe.”
Ye Fan reached out his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Lei’s eyes, trying his best to put on a smile and smiling at Xu Lei.
He only wanted to leave Xu Lei with a smile that was still warm in her final moments.
After saying this, Ye Fan rushed towards the place in the sky and called out, “Little Black, come here.”
Woof!
Little Black let out a long whistle, and with his feet on the ground, he sped over and rushed in front of Ye Fan.
Perhaps it was because when it saw Ye Fan’s dying breath, Little Black also felt compa*sion.
A kind of sad whimper came out of its mouth and it stretched out its tongue to lick at Ye Fan’s wound.
It seemed to think that this would help ease Ye Fan’s pain.
“You silly dog…”
Ye Fan cursed with a laugh and stroked the black dog’s head.
“Little Black, these two girls, I’ll leave it to you.”
“And that little kid, you take it away later too.”
“With your speed, even Tang Yun won’t be able to catch up with you.”
Ye Fan entrusted Ye Yuyan, Xu Lei and the two of them, as well as Chu Lin, to Little Black.
Let Little Black shelter them to escape.
“I won’t!”
“I’m not leaving!”
“If you want to go, it will be you, Little Brother Fan, who will go.”
Xu Lei suddenly became even sadder, tears falling like rain.
She burrowed into Ye Fan’s arms and bawled, sad like a child.
She had, obviously, only been reunited with Ye Fan for just one day.
Many heartfelt words had yet to be spoken.
Now, she was once again separated from him.
Naturally, it was difficult for Xu Lei to accept this.
Ye Yuyan was also sobbing uncontrollably.
“Yes, cousin Ye Fan, it’s you who should go.”
“As long as you get well, you will definitely be able to destroy the Chu Sect.”
“We weak women, if we survive, what is the use?”
“As long as you live, our Jiangdong will still be here, and our Yanxia Martial Way will still be here.”
Ye Yuyan was also unwilling to leave.
“Daddy, I won’t let you die, Little Lin already doesn’t have a mother, Little Lin doesn’t want to be without a father anymore…”
The little one, Chu Lin, also cried.
He hadn’t heard from his mother for a long time, and he didn’t want to lose his father again.
Not only them, even Little Black, kept shouting at Ye Fan, his dog mouth kept pulling at Ye Fan’s clothes.
It looked like Little Black also wanted to let Ye Fan go.
In the face of Xu Lei and the others’ mutual advice, Ye Fan was smiling miserably.
“I, Chu Tianfan, have been to the Chu Sect three times and failed three times.”
“This last time, it was even at the cost of the lives of a thousand brothers of my Dragon God Hall.”
“Even if I escape today, how can I have the face to live in the world?”
I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the river.
At this moment, Ye Fan looked at the people of the Dragon God Hall who were rushing forward in front of him, like moths to a flame, and Ye Fan’s heart felt like a knife.
Last time, Gaia and the others had fought for their lives to protect him.
This time, how could Ye Fan use the lives of his brothers to save his own life?
He was tired.
He was really tired.
He had walked for too long and suffered too much.
He had no more strength to go on.
Perhaps, this was fate.
He had defeated Chu Qi Tian, he had defeated Chu Zheng Liang, he had also defeated Chu Yuan, and even, before that, he had trampled the entire Chu Clan under his feet.
However, he had still lost to that woman in the end.
“Lei’er, such is the will of Heaven. I, Chu Tianfan, resign myself to my fate.”
Ye Fan smiled up at the sky, his face full of sorrow.
In that sigh, no one knew how much disappointment and heartache was contained in it.
Having fought all his life, he did not know how many times he had walked through the Gate of Ghosts, and in return, he still came to this ending.
“Alright, you guys go, live well.” Ye Fan placed a gentle kiss on Xu Lei’s forehead, and then, he asked Little Black to prepare to send them away.
“No, brother Little Fan, no, we’re not leaving …..”
“Wooooooo…”
Xu Lei and the others couldn’t stop crying, their piteous voices causing countless people behind them, to look on, unable to help but shed tears.
And at this time, deep in the vault of the sky ahead, the Moon God, after fighting for a long time, finally pulled his injuries.
He was struck by Tang Yun’s sword.
A sharp sword wound appeared at the back of the Moon God’s head.
And her whole body, like a kite with a broken string, fell from the sky.
Like a falling leaf, like a floating weed, with blood, with guilt, she fell to the ground.
“Yue’er!”
Seeing the Moon God fall with injuries, Ye Fan’s heart trembled.
Poof!
With his heart in mourning, Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood immediately afterwards, and his already pale face was even weaker.
“Chu Tianfan, don’t presume to leave again.”
“Today, none of you, all of you, will be able to get away.”
“Injuring my master and destroying my clan.”
“Today, I will have your entire Jiangdong buried with me.”
After defeating the Moon God, Tang Yun’s majesty had undoubtedly reached an extreme point.
She stood proudly in the Heavenly River, holding her long sword, towering over Ye Fan and the others as if she was looking down on gra*s and trees.
Her beautiful face was as cold as ice, with no emotion at all.
Ye Fan knew that the momentum was over and that his death at the hands of Tang Yun was a good one.
It was just that he pitied those who were following him.
In the final moments of his life, Ye Fan’s eyes slowly swept over this Cloud Top Mountain.
He took one last look at the people of the Dragon God Temple and at the Jiangdong people who had followed him.
Finally, his gaze, however, rested on a low grave not far away.
On it was written, The Tomb of the Peerless Seal Chu Tianfan.
Perhaps, this was the will of heaven.
The tomb, it had all been set up for him.
“That is the grave that the Second Master and the others erected for you three years ago.”
“Inside are buried your clothes from your life, as well as the one you used, the ancient sword of Yunyang.” Xu Lei noticed Ye Fan’s gaze, and she slowly explained to him.
Before life and death, Xu Lei had no fear.
As long as she could be with her little brother Fan, what was there to fear in death.
However, when Ye Fan heard this, his eyes, which were originally bleak, were abruptly stagnant.
“Lei’er, you… What did you say?”
“The Yunyang Ancient Sword, is it buried on this Cloud Top Mountain?”
