Chapter 772: Chapter 322: Inheriting the legacy_4 Chapter 772: Chapter 322: Inheriting the legacy_4 So, in a very short amount of time, Duan Hongye made a decisive move. With a sway of his body, he carried Duan Hongyu on his back and left the scene, disappearing from sight. For some unknown reason, after the initial three bullets were fired, Gu Xiaolan, who was ambushed in the darkness, did not attack Duan Hongye again.
As Duan Hongye ran, he manipulated the muscles and internal organs of his body to block the huge hole in his heart. However, after suffering two consecutive severe injuries to the heart, Duan Hongye's vitality rapidly declined. He could have lived for more than a month, but after this injury, he had at most two hours left to live.
Duan Hongye ran swiftly until his strength was exhausted and finally made it into the deep mountains in the distance. With the last of his energy, he leaped off a cliff and, using the branches below, safely reached the valley floor. It was only then that Duan Hongye dared to ensure that neither Gu Xiaolan nor the Duan Family would find this place.
But at this point, Duan Hongye had used up all his strength and couldn't move any longer. Under his deliberate protection, Duan Hongyu on his back was completely unharmed. Duan Hongyu silently stood up, turned around to carry Duan Hongye, and continued walking through the valley. However, Duan Hongyu was frail from years of torture and could not walk far with Duan Hongye on her back. Fortunately, Duan Hongyu finally found a dry cave in the valley, and it took all her strength to move Duan Hongye inside before they both collapsed on the ground.
Feeling his life force gradually leaving him, Duan Hongye knew his time was short. He looked at Duan Hongyu beside him and managed a bitter smile, saying, “Sister, I have failed you in this life. Not only have I failed to protect you, but I also couldn't even avenge you. If there is an afterlife, I will surely protect you well and let no harm come to you.”
Duan Hongyu struggled to her feet, knelt before Duan Hongye, and held his head in her lap, saying, “Brother… I don't… blame you…”
As they were so close together, Duan Hongye's and Duan Hongyu's skin touched, causing the Yin Yang Battle Order Heavenly Sorrow Talismans on their bodies to finally make contact, and then Duan Hongye noticed that his Talisman was starting to dim, while Duan Hongyu's Talisman began to brighten.
Duan Hongye was suddenly stunned, as he realized a very critical issue and came to the ultimate conclusion. At first, he was in awe, and then he burst into hearty laughter. Just as Duan Hongyu thought there was something wrong with her brother, Duan Hongye stopped laughing and said, “The Duan Family are fools for using the Yin Yang Battle Order Heavenly Sorrow Talisman in such a way.”
Duan Hongyu asked, “What… what is it?”
Duan Hongye laughed and said, “I am laughing at the fools in the Duan Family who use products without reading the instructions. I finally understand why my strength was the weakest among the God-Level Experts. But don't worry, I have found a way to fully unleash the power of this Yin Yang Battle Order Heavenly Sorrow Talisman.”
Duan Hongyu said, “Brother… please… get better…”
Duan Hongye replied, “Sister, I am done for. But before I die, I hope you can gain powerful strength, the ability to protect yourself, and then forget the past and seek your own happiness.”
Tears appeared in Duan Hongyu's eyes as she said, “Brother… I hope… you… get better… don't… die…”
Duan Hongye smiled and said, “Silly child, who can ensure they won't die? I am happy to have found you before my death. Remember, nothing in the world is as important as your own happiness…”
Having said that, Duan Hongye stretched out his right index finger, slowly approaching Duan Hongyu's forehead.
Duan Hongyu asked, “Brother… what are… you doing?”
Duan Hongye replied with a smile, “Sister, don't move, be good!”
Then Duan Hongye's index finger finally touched Duan Hongyu's forehead, and he began to transfer all his spirit and insights into her mind. With the effect of the Yin Yang Battle Order Heavenly Sorrow Talisman, everything Duan Hongye did was effortless.
As the essence of Duan Hongye's consciousness began to merge with Duan Hongyu's, the Talisman on his back dimmed even further, while the Talisman on Duan Hongyu's body became brighter and started to look more real.
Suddenly, Duan Hongyu felt the finger on her forehead slip away. When she opened her eyes, she realized that Duan Hongye had already died without her knowing, and the Talisman on his back had vanished.
With an expression as still as an Ancient Well, Duan Hongyu slowly tended to Duan Hongye's body, saying, “Rest assured and depart, Brother. I will carry on your will in full.”
