Actually... Twenty-Three and Lute didn't need to worry.

Ruo Yu herself had already seen the direction of the battle. She understood... she had to act.

Just as the two Derivatives were about to call out to her, she had already opened her Soul Intent abruptly, stepping into the air and rushing upward.

In an instant, another figure flashing with light blue Dou Qi joined the golden-red intertwined energy vortex...

"Good... you're all going to die!" Yin Lou Lan was now bloodshot with killing intent. He had no strategy, didn't care about consumption, and was fearless... in his heart, there was only one thought, to kill the enemies in front of him until not a single piece of their corpses remained.

Most people, after entering this state, would make monotonous, reckless attacks, easily revealing flaws.

But Yin Lou Lan was different... relying on years of combat experience and innate combat talent, abandoning all reason and calculation, he became a veritable killing machine. It could be said... that his current state was extremely close to Ruo Yu's Soul Intent, "Maximum Efficiency."

"Don't feel it, his fatal point is his left chest." In the midst of the fierce battle, Ruo Yu remained as calm as ever. Having just joined the battle, she quickly found the opponent's fatal weakness and told her teammates.

"Understood..." Feng Bu Jue responded immediately. Ruo Yu's entry greatly reduced his pressure, but... he still didn't cancel Spiritual Consciousness Convergence Technique - Modified, because this battle... didn't allow him to do so, "The problem is... how to break his double swords..."

Just as they were talking, the double swords in Yin Lou Lan's hands suddenly became a few points faster, and the force became heavier again...

Reaching the limit in moves, there are no moves in moves; reaching the limit in change, there is no change in change.

Yin Lou Lan was a genius of his generation. Only now, at this very moment, did he finally comprehend the ultimate realm of his swordsmanship—the strongest swordsmanship has no rules to follow, leaves no trace, the sword moves with the heart, and is indestructible.

Jue-ge and Ruo Yu were both outstanding fighters, but compared to this swordsman who had lived for hundreds of years, they had almost no advantage in terms of moves. Therefore... even with the two of them joining forces, they still couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

"It won't work if we keep fighting like this." After fighting for more than ten seconds, Feng Bu Jue said, "He has the Kongtong Seal protecting him, he's unscathed... and his Saint Origin Power and stamina consumption can almost be ignored."

He was right... a war of attrition was very disadvantageous to them. Leaving aside stamina, Spiritual Consciousness Convergence Technique - Modified consumed 1% of his Survival Value per second... even with the support of recovery potions, he couldn't last more than a few minutes.

"Do you have a way?" Ruo Yu asked.

"Now that it's come to this..." Feng Bu Jue continued, "Let's use that move that 'Red' and 'Green' taught us..."

Ruo Yu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but after considering it for a few seconds, she said, "Okay! Let's take a gamble!"

"You couple of bitches... are you done talking?" Yin Lou Lan's raging attacks didn't stop, and he was still uttering vicious words, "You can't win against me! Hurry up and die!"

"Shut up!" At this instant, Feng Bu Jue and Ruo Yu shouted at each other in unison.

Then, the two of them looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement. Immediately afterward... they unleashed a move learned from a Derivative.

Please note... this was a "move," not a "skill."

This move was directly learned by Jue-ge and Ruo Yu in the Inner World. It wasn't a "skill" generated by the system, but a two-person combination technique invented by the Derivatives "Red" and "Green" themselves.

Therefore, this "move" didn't have any "skill description," and the system couldn't accurately quantify and express its effects.

But... one thing was certain—this move was very strong.

The Feng Bu Jue and Li Ruo Yu in front of them were not using this combination technique for the first time. Since that visit to the Inner World... the two of them had rehearsed many scripts together. In those scripts, as long as there was a suitable opportunity, they would practice this move.

Everyone should be very clear that they were both gifted weirdos with good comprehension; moreover, in the game world, Feng Bu Jue had the assistance of Zero Time Difference Calculation, which could double the results with half the effort during cultivation... therefore, the process of learning this move was much smoother than they imagined.

In summary, their decision at this moment... was undoubtedly made with a certain degree of confidence.

"Go!" Five seconds later, Jue-ge and Ruo Yu once again, almost at the same second, said the same sentence.

Obviously, their analysis of the situation was also very consistent, knowing when was the best time to strike.

"Ha!" Yin Lou Lan smiled hideously after hearing this, "You still use words to communicate before combining moves, are you afraid I won't know when you're going to strike?"

"It's not that we're afraid you won't know..." Feng Bu Jue replied coldly.

"It's that we're not afraid you'll know..." Ruo Yu also replied coldly.

Before the words faded, their figures changed drastically, crisscrossing and spinning...

Suddenly, the double blades condensed and emitted, and the double styles came out at the same time.

At the moment of impact, it seemed as if two flashes of light appeared... one as holy as jade, as steady as a mountain; the other an evil fiend, with demonic energy soaring to the sky.

Saint and demon, at that instant, converged, destroying everything caught between light and darkness...

【Saint Demon Flashy Brilliant Slash】

This was the strongest strike that Jue-ge and Ruo Yu currently possessed... none of the single-target skills they each possessed could compare with the power of this move.

Of course, the consumption of this move was also extremely astonishing... in addition to all of their Spiritual Power (the more Spiritual Power used when casting, the greater the power of the move), the demand on physical strength was also terrifying (there was no fixed number, but it usually consumed more than half).

Using this strike here was undoubtedly a gamble. Feng Bu Jue took the risk of overdrafting his Stamina Value, but fortunately... the end result was that he still had dozens of Stamina Value left, and didn't lose his ability to act due to Stamina exhaustion.

"This guy..." A few seconds later, looking at the diffused light and shadow in front of him, Feng Bu Jue's expression became serious.

"He's not dead yet..." Ruo Yu also stared solemnly at Yin Lou Lan's location.

Before long, the energy lingering in the air dissipated, and Yin Lou Lan's figure reappeared.

At this moment, his double swords were broken, his armor was destroyed... even the light of the Kongtong Seal had disappeared.

But, he was indeed not dead yet.

"I... I want to..." Yin Lou Lan was covered in blood, his injuries were terrifying, but he showed no sign of falling, still floating in the air, standing proudly, "...I want to kill you..." His eyes had lost focus, but his expression was still very firm, "...I want to avenge Brother Ji!"

Seeing this, Ruo Yu suddenly landed, sheathed her sword, and silently turned her head away.

As for Feng Bu Jue, he continued to stand in the sky, staring at the other party with dead fish eyes and said, "I think... there's no need, right?" He sighed, "You'll be seeing your Brother Ji soon..."

"Is that so..." Yin Lou Lan's consciousness was obviously blurred; the moment he was hit by Saint Demon Flashy Brilliant Slash, he should have died... but his intense will had surpassed the limits of his physical body, allowing him to continue to remain in this world, "...That's great... we can... be together again..."

"Yes." Feng Bu Jue looked at him, his eyes becoming quite complicated, "You can be together forever from now on."

"Heh..." At this time, Yin Lou Lan smiled, it was a peaceful, gentle smile. In this life, he had only smiled like this in front of one person, "Brother Ji... thank you for coming to pick me up..." He suddenly said such a sentence, and then, his vacant eyes finally closed... his body also disintegrated at this moment, turning into a sky full of blood mist, falling on the luminous trees under the moon.

No one knew what Yin Lou Lan saw at the last moment of his life... but those who saw this scene were willing to believe... that he did see the person he wanted to see.

…………

A moment later, Feng Bu Jue gracefully landed, and in his hand, there was one more thing—the Kongtong Seal.

【Hidden Mission Complete】

【Current Mission Complete, Main Missions All Complete】

Immediately afterward, two consecutive system prompts entered the players' ears.

However... the sentence that should have followed, "You have completed this Scenario, automatic teleportation will occur in 180 seconds," was late in coming.

"I say... can we get out of here?" The first thing Jue-ge did after landing, who had silently put the Heavenly Book Bamboo Scroll and the Kongtong Seal into his arms... was to have those two Derivatives send him out of the Sandbox.

"You know the basic settings of the Sandbox, you have to go through the 'back door' to get out." Lute jumped down from the top of the building, walking towards Jue-ge as he said, "Force quitting is useless... also, if you get killed now, your character data will be cleared."

Twenty-Three also jumped down from there, landing lightly: "Of course, because the creator of this Sandbox is Lute, you don't have to go through all the trouble to find the back door like you did with Leng Feng last time."

"Okay~" Feng Bu Jue nodded upon hearing this, and then beckoned for his teammates to gather around, "Everyone from Broken Sword Tea House, come on, get ready to teleport."

"Hold on!" At this time, Ji Feng Long, whose injuries had initially healed (Hua Jian's healing skills were more efficient than medical skills in the Saint Origin World), took a few steps forward and walked up to Feng Bu Jue, "Liao Zhu Feng..." She couldn't help but lower her noble head and bowed, "I..." A hint of hesitation flashed across her beautiful face, "Feng Long... is indebted to Liao Zhu Feng for saving my life, and I don't know how to repay you..."

"City Lord Ji doesn't need to be so polite." Feng Bu Jue said, "Today's events... we didn't come specifically to help you, there's no need for thanks; as for what you did to us before... I didn't take it to heart, and you don't need to apologize." Jue-ge blocked both sides with his words, just not wanting to talk too much with the other party, "In short... we're about to leave, City Lord Ji doesn't need to keep us..."

"Liao Zhu Feng!" Suddenly, Ji Feng Long grabbed Feng Bu Jue's wrist, "Wait a moment!"

This action startled Su Xiao Xiao and Lin Que, who had followed the City Lord for many years... because they had never seen the City Lord take the initiative (or even passively) to touch a man's body.

"Feng Long... has one more thing to ask of you." Ji Feng Long stared straight into Jue-ge's eyes, tightly clutching Jue-ge's wrist, as if saying—"If you don't agree today, I'll die in front of you."

"Hey hey... is this going to be the rhythm of taking Bu Jue as a concubine..." Hua Jian, who was more gossipy, immediately thought of that aspect, and said softly (actually not very softly, because everyone standing on the street heard it) to Xu Huai Shang beside her.

"Oh?" Xu Huai Shang also became interested upon hearing this, and cast her gaze toward Jue-ge with a smile that was not a smile, "Don't say it... there's really a possibility..."

"Heh... it looks like..." Ruo Yu, who happened to be walking over here, heard their words, and also added sourly, "Someone can't leave anymore ah."

"Hmm... I'll just watch and not speak..." Uncle Waste Wood adjusted his sunglasses, using a sentence of nonsense to brush his presence.

"You bunch of people ah~ you only know how to think wildly, how to talk nonsense." Feng Bu Jue's expression didn't change, "How could City Lord Ji make such a request?" He looked at Ji Feng Long and said, "Right?"

The other party didn't respond, and lowered her head.

"Hey... you should say 'yes'..." Feng Bu Jue narrowed his eyes, cold sweat dripping down.

A few seconds later, Ji Feng Long released Feng Bu Jue's hand, tidied her expression, and then raised her head, saying, "Liao Zhu Feng... the Heavenly Book Bamboo Scroll is the treasure of the foundation of the Back Palace City. If it is taken away from this place, the city's barriers will all become ineffective. I hope that Liao Zhu can leave it behind..."

"Oh... so that's what it is..." Feng Bu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, put on a very embarrassed look, and muttered, "This... is a bit difficult..."

"Feng Long knows that she is no match for Liao Zhu, if Liao Zhu Feng is determined to take the Heavenly Book, Feng Long will not be able to do anything." Ji Feng Long continued very earnestly, "It's just... now that all the city's guards have been killed in battle, and the soldiers have been poisoned; and I, Xiao Xiao, and Que'er are all injured... if we lose the Heavenly Book, I'm afraid..." She didn't continue, but paused for a moment, and then said, "I beg Liao Zhu Feng to consider the sake of my family and wives, and at least lend me the Heavenly Book for a period of time... until I have settled things..."

"City Lord Ji." Upon hearing this, Ruo Yu directly interrupted the other party, "You don't need to say anymore..." She walked up to Ji Feng Long and said in a gentle voice, "The Heavenly Book is originally City Lord's thing, we have no intention of taking it..." As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the back of Jue-ge's neck without looking back, pulled him over, and turned her head to glare at Jue-ge and said coldly, "Return it to her."

"Uh..." Feng Bu Jue really didn't want to return it, but these words were not easy to say.

"What?" Ruo Yu said again, "You don't want to leave the thing behind... you want to leave the person behind, right..."

"Alas..." Jue-ge sighed deeply, and reluctantly handed the Heavenly Book Bamboo Scroll back to Ji Feng Long.

Then, he didn't say anything more, turned his head and walked towards Lute, "Okay... how's the door coming along?"

"Well asked." Lute turned her head and replied, "Just finished it."

As soon as the words fell, a blue, oval-shaped halo appeared out of thin air beside her.

"Then... everyone please..." Lute originally wanted to let the players leave the Sandbox, but she couldn't finish this sentence.

Because... at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone (including Lute and Twenty-Three).

They saw that, from the teleportation door... a thick arm actually stretched out.

"Hmph... you..." A familiar voice sounded, "...where do you think you're going?"
