Every Sentinel I Dreamed of Came Looking for Me

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Stop, Don’t Continue Anymore

SPIT!

Bai Ye sprayed a mouthful of blood as the force of the blow sent him staggering back several steps.

The Eye-devouring Beast gave him no chance to recover. It opened its massive maw, a strange, crimson light glowing from deep within its throat as it prepared for a final, desperate attack.

Bai Ye fell to one knee, the hand gripping his blade trembling.

But when he lifted his head to face the colossal beast about to unleash its power, there was no fear in his eyes—only a cold, unyielding resolve.

He got back on his feet.

All his remaining strength, along with his rampaging spiritual power, gathered onto the edge of his blade.

He slashed out with his blade!

The flash of the blade was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the night sky!

The Eye-devouring Beast’s roar died abruptly, its massive body split in two down the middle.

But at the same time, the crimson light deep in its throat suddenly exploded.

A final psychic assault, unleashed in a frenzied surge at the moment of its death, slammed directly into Bai Ye’s spiritual landscape!

BOOM!

Bai Ye’s body convulsed violently.

He staggered one step, then another.

Then, he dropped heavily to one knee.

He plunged his blade into the ground, using it to prop himself up and keep from collapsing.

Yun Sheng’s expression changed in an instant. Without a moment’s hesitation, she bolted forward!

"Yun Sheng!"

Guo Kai’s face fell, and he instinctively chased after her, trying to stop her.

But as soon as he got within three meters of Bai Ye, an exceptionally vicious wave of spiritual power surged out, slamming into him as if it were a physical force.

Guo Kai was thrown back several steps, his face a mask of horror.

’That spiritual power... it’s terrifying!’

But in the next second, he saw that Yun Sheng had already reached Bai Ye’s side.

When that vicious spiritual power touched her, it surprisingly launched no attack. It even seemed to recede slightly.

Yun Sheng had no time to think. She grabbed Bai Ye’s shoulder, her voice trembling.

"White... White Tiger, how are you?!"

Bai Ye slowly raised his head.

His face was drained of all color, and his eyes were bloodshot red, teeming with a violence and mania that threatened to overflow.

He looked at Yun Sheng, his voice so hoarse it sounded as if it were being scraped from the depths of his throat.

"I... I don’t think I can control it much longer." He gritted his teeth, each word seemingly costing him all his strength. "I’m heading outside the canyon... Leave me..."

He tried to use his blade to stand, but his arm was shaking so violently he couldn’t muster any strength.

Seeing him in this state, Yun Sheng felt as if something had viciously seized her heart.

She said nothing, merely tightening her grip on Bai Ye’s arm as her spiritual power unhesitatingly reached out and invaded his spiritual landscape.

The next moment, her pupils contracted sharply.

The cracks.

There were more of them than she had seen in her dream—deeper and far more shocking.

Countless fissures crisscrossed and spread, covering nearly the entire spiritual landscape. Some were so deep you could see the bottom, frantically leaking violent spiritual power.

The entire spiritual landscape was trembling violently, as if it could completely collapse at any moment!

"No... You can’t go."

Yun Sheng looked up, meeting Bai Ye’s crimson eyes, and tightened her grip on his arm, refusing to let go.

"In... in your current state, if you go out there to fight those contaminants, you’ll fall and become a Dark Sentinel!"

A Dark Sentinel.

Those three words stabbed into Bai Ye’s heart like a knife.

He knew better than anyone what that meant!

It meant losing his sanity, becoming a mindless monster of slaughter. It meant he might never again recognize the person standing right in front of him...

"I..." Bai Ye’s voice was so hoarse he could barely speak. "I have to go. There are other S-Class contaminants out there, maybe even a Super S-level one. Until reinforcements arrive, I can’t let them hurt you... hurt any of you."

He tried to pull his hand away, but Yun Sheng clung to his arm, her knuckles white with strain, refusing to let go.

"Going out like this is suicide!" Her eyes burned, and her voice shook. "Don’t you know how bad your spiritual landscape is right now? Those cracks..."

Yun Sheng didn’t finish her sentence.

She was certain that White Tiger was Bai Ye, but she hadn’t exposed his identity.

But even if he was Bai Ye, with his spiritual landscape shattered like this and his spiritual power on the verge of spiraling out of control, he would die facing the endless stream of contaminants outside!

Hearing Yun Sheng’s words, the light in Bai Ye’s eyes dimmed further.

Of course he knew.

Every one of those cracks was leaking violent spiritual power, and his entire spiritual landscape was teetering on the verge of utter collapse.

’But what can I do?’

’The contaminants outside are still closing in. Those things won’t give them a chance to recover.’

’If I don’t go and hold them off... with the strength of Yun Sheng’s squad, a single S-Class would be enough to wipe them all out!’

"Yun Sheng, let me go."

Bai Ye looked at her, his crimson eyes churning with violence and suppressed pain. But beneath it all, there was a far more complex emotion.

Tenderness?

Reluctance?

Or... a farewell?

"I promised to protect you all," he said, word by word, his voice hoarse but incredibly firm. "And I keep my promises."

He tried to pull his hand away again, but Yun Sheng’s grip remained tight.

"What did you promise? You promised to protect us, but how can you do that if you’re dead?!"

She took a deep breath, raised her other hand, and gently pressed it to the center of his forehead.

"Don’t move. Let me try."

Bai Ye’s pupils contracted sharply. "You..."

"Shut up."

Yun Sheng cut him off and closed her eyes.

Her spiritual power extended slowly, cautiously approaching the spiritual landscape that was on the brink of collapse.

She knew that doing this was a tacit admission that she was the person from his dreams. It was a tacit admission of her special abilities, a way of tearing away all her disguises and exposing her most secret self to him.

But if she didn’t...

She couldn’t just stand by and watch Bai Ye die, or fall and become a mindless Dark Sentinel!

The moment her spiritual power touched the edge of his spiritual landscape, Bai Ye’s body went rigid.

That familiar presence, that familiar tremor—it was exactly the same as in his dreams.

A touch he had once only felt in illusion was now genuinely probing his spiritual landscape.

It was as if those distant, unattainable dreams had suddenly become reality.

Bai Ye’s spiritual power met hers almost instinctively—wild and greedy, carrying a longing and desire that had been suppressed for far too long. It entangled her fiercely, like a bursting dam.

Yun Sheng’s body trembled slightly. An indescribable, tingling numbness spread from the depths of her spiritual landscape, flowing through every nerve to her limbs.

It was as if... his arms were wrapped around her entire being.

No, it was deeper than an embrace.

It was an unreserved, naked, soul-deep entanglement.

The sensation made her heart race, her breathing grow erratic, and her cheeks instantly flush with heat.

Bai Ye’s reaction was even more intense than hers.

His body was drawn taut like a fully-strung bow, a suppressed groan escaping his throat.

His crimson eyes were locked on her, roiling with emotions that threatened to spill over.

Shock, desire, and a tremor that was almost reverent.

He wanted to reach out and hold her.

He wanted to pull her into his arms, kiss her as he had in his dreams, and even... he wanted more.

But he couldn’t do a thing.

He could only clench his fists, using all his willpower to restrain himself from doing anything rash.

His spiritual power, however, was completely beyond his control.

It coiled around Yun Sheng, strand by strand, a seamless fit, as if it wanted to devour her whole.

Yun Sheng’s spiritual power was far more substantial than before. After just a few moments of entanglement, the spread of the cracks in Bai Ye’s spiritual landscape actually began to slow.

"Stop..."

Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yun Sheng’s, which was still pressed to his forehead.

"Don’t continue!"
