Peerless Battle Spirit-Chapter 2287: Change
Chapter 2287: Change
"Senior Brother, I..."
Qin Nan wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Qingshan losing his life force continuously, he felt like he was being stabbed in the heart. The dissipating demonic will erupted again.
Even though his Senior Brother's will had recovered, his life was about to end soon.
Tang Qingshan let out a sigh when he noticed Qin Nan's reaction.
He felt both relieved and helpless.
"Li'er, let me have a word with him," Tang Qingshan said softly.
"Sure."
Zhao Li'er nodded. Her tears had stopped, but her hands were wrapped so tightly around Tang Qingshan that her joints were turning pale.
Tang Qingshan patted on the back of her hand and used all his strength to execute an art.
Whoosh!
The surroundings changed instantly. The initial scenery and the Masters of Dao had disappeared and were replaced with mountains and water.
Tang Qingshan and Qin Nan were ones left.
It was an illusion.
"Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since the day I first met you. Everything felt unreal like a dream as I recall it," Tang Qingshan said with a faint smile.
He was not talkative normally, but one would have different emotions prior to their death.
"Senior Brother, I'm sorry!" Qin Nan said. His nose was tingling.
"Nonsense! Why are you saying sorry to me?" Tang Qingshan snapped.
"Qin Nan, do you know what my thoughts are when I was taken over by Heaven Highness Wuwang's will? I want to kill myself!"
"Unfortunately, I couldn't even end my own life."
Tang Qingshan lifted his gaze and looked ahead. His tone calmed down, "Qin Nan, sometimes, things just don't happen the way you want. You feel like you should pay a great price just to save my life, but what do I think?"
"I think it's unnecessary."
"You should know that no matter how strong you are, I will always be your Senior Brother. How can I allow myself to be my Junior Brother's burden? If you did pay a huge price to save my life, I'll live in guilt for the rest of my life."
Qin Nan was startled.
Tang Qingshan said with a sigh, "Of course, I know you won't agree with what I say. You will still try to save me. However, you should remember one thing."
"Our relationship isn't the only thing you are carrying. You also have your partners, family, friends, and benefactors. It's fine as long as you tried your best."
"Besides, regardless of the outcome, you can be angry or frustrated, but you should never lose your rationality!"
Qin Nan fell silent.
He was having mixed feelings.
Tang Qingshan wore a smile again and said, "I know it's impossible to ask you not to be angry or sorrow."
"I won't advice you against it, but you should focus on avenging me instead."
"You must make Cang and the two monks pay. Do you understand?" Tang Qingshan looked into Qin Nan's eyes and asked.
As a matter of fact, he did not really care about getting his revenge. He just wanted Qin Nan to walk out of the shadow by diverting his attention.
"Senior Brother, don't you worry, I'll pay them back tenfold for what they did to you!" Qin Nan's eyes flickered coldly.
"Very well! I hope to be your Senior Brother again in the next life."
Tang Qingshan nodded. He patted on Qin Nan's shoulder as the illusion faded away.
Qin Nan looked at Tang Qingshan's pale face. His heart was in great pain as he watched Tang Qingshan's life force fading away.
He knew it was the inevitable, yet he could not control his emotions.
"Li'er."
Tang Qingshan grabbed Zhao Li'er's hand.
"Tang Blockhead, don't you dare say farewell to me! I won't let you die!"
Zhao Li'er sounded like she was grasping onto her last hope.
"Fine, I won't say it."
Tang Qingshan nodded. He forced a smile and said, "But, I must thank you for staying by my side. I hope we can meet again in the next life."
His pupils slowly dilated as he finished the sentence. His life force thoroughly dissipated.
"Tang Blockhead!"
Zhao Li'er was lost in her thoughts. Her tears poured out like the water of a broken dam.
Qin Nan, Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, and the others clenched their fists.
Qin Nan felt like he had just taken a tremendous blow.
To them, the time had slowed down significantly. The battle, will, and artifacts around them were no longer relevant.
Everything was heavy and sorrowful.
An unexpected change took place at that instant.
The flames of the lamp in Zhao Li'er's hand turned pitch-black as it released a formidable power onto Tang Qingshan.
"Mm? Is that..."
Cang, Jiaye, Zhou Xundao, and the others immediately looked at the flame.
"Qin Nan!"
Jiaye blurted out in surprise, "It seems like your Senior Brother is in luck. That woman has brought the Inverse Soul Lamp! It's refined by a Heaven Highness with great expertise in souls during the ancient era. One of its uses is collecting cultivators' souls and preserve them for over a thousand years!"
"The lamp was activated close to your Senior Brother. It must have absorbed your Senior Brother's soul! If you can collect sufficient life force and find a suitable flesh, you might be able to bring him back to life!"
Qin Nan's heart skipped a beat.
He was just thinking how he could bring Tang Qingshan back to life!
Even though the situation was unfavorable compared to how Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan's souls were preserved by Xiang Hun and the Dao of Death, there was still a chance to save his Senior Brother.
He did not expect the tables would be turned all of a sudden!
A faint voice sounded from the distance, "There's a reason behind everything. The fact that the Inverse Soul Lamp is present indicates his time isn't up yet. I shall lend him a hand."
A figure approached from the distance. It was a woman whose face was covered with a veil. She flicked her finger and unleashed a tremendous life force into the Inverse Soul Lamp.
