My hands were shaking, as if I had been stripped naked and thrown into a Siberian glacier.
The Nine-Tailed Fox under the sword in front of him was looking at him and smiling, as if silently saying, "I knew you couldn't do it."
This was not a mockery, but it was more hurtful than a mockery, allowing Xu Zhe to clearly see what cowardice was.
"Go to hell!" Even though he was so weak, he still waved his hands to condemn again. The sharp sword turned in the air, making the force even more fierce. He slashed sideways at the exposed neck of the Nine-Tailed Fox. There was no need to worry about missing the perfect neck.
But the sword still stopped only one centimeter away from the carotid artery. The strong torque even caused the wound on Xu Zhe's wrist to burst, and blood spilled all over the ground.
But the sword that kills people never hurt even a hair of the Nine-Tail...
"No matter how excited you scream, no matter how you look at me with hatred... Your sword may be able to kill any creature in the three realms, but it can't hurt me. As long as you hold this sword..." Kyuubi's eyes were so gentle, as if he was looking at an ignorant boyfriend who was doing stupid things for him. It was so stupid that people couldn't bear to correct him. After all, he was working hard for himself. "Stupid man, don't you understand it now? You have fallen in love with me... No, you should have fallen in love with the original owner of this body. You were attracted by her innocence, kindness, and persistence.
You love her following you around, you love her asking stupid questions, you love her crying about her sadness.
You like to know that you will die, but there is still someone who hopes for a miracle for you...
There is no one who can make you care more than her. Maybe people all over the world only see you as a tool, but she doesn't. She doesn't understand what it means to be a creature beyond the three realms, and she doesn't understand ghosts and gods.
Only she thought your name was Xu Zhe, an ordinary human with a weird personality but also her partner...
Knowing all this, how can you still swing your sword against me?"
Slowly, the sword was put down, and even the resentment that was originally wrapped around it dissipated a lot at this moment.
Xu Zhe took two steps back tremblingly, thrust his sword straight into the ground, and knelt on one knee.
It wasn't that he wanted to show his submission to the Nine-Tailed Fox, but due to the blood loss he no longer had the strength to stand. He barely held up the sword beside him so as not to lie on the cold ground like a corpse.
His breathing was getting slower and slower, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. The bright red blood was still flowing slowly along the sword. He wondered how much blood could still flow out of his body like this
"You can... you can read minds?" Although Xu Zhe said so, he still felt that the technique used by Jiuwei was different from that cheap hypnosis. What she could dig out was deeper, so deep that even she herself did not understand.
"Mind reading? I have never tried to read your mind deliberately, but your heart has been telling me its hidden secrets all the time." Jiuwei smiled and shook his head, denying Xu Zhe's guess, "Just like the most ridiculous farce, everything has its own unknown secrets, and they all like to hide the secrets in the deepest part of their hearts, not wanting others to know. But they don't know how much the lonely heart longs to share with others, and tells all the creatures around it with subtle and imperceptible fluctuations. Unfortunately, every creature has its own frequency, and no one will hear it even if it keeps telling...
The strange thing is, since my father brought me into this world, I have had this ability to listen. I can understand the love of a tree for flowers, and I can understand the sadness of a female spider eating her partner for survival.
Of course, I can also understand the heart of God. "Looking around the sky and the earth, with arms outstretched, Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to be able to embrace the whole world, "Why do you think they are so afraid of me? Are they really just afraid of my huge spirit? No... They are worried that the ugliness in their hearts will be discovered by me, and that their calculations will be known to other so-called companions. Will those parts called ambitions really disappear after cultivating into immortals
There are tens of millions of living beings in the three realms. With my qualifications, as long as I want, I am a god. If I want, I can also experience reincarnation like humans.
Why did I choose to be a monster in the end? "
Still gasping for breath, Xu Zhe was unable to answer Kyuubi's question.
"Gods are actually a group of self-satisfied guys with high spiritual energy. They try hard to cover up their evil and call themselves good. They are disgusting and disgusting..." Just thinking about them, Jiuwei felt uncomfortable in his stomach. "As for humans, they are treacherous, cruel, ignorant, stupid, and weak. They are not worth considering. Among the three realms, the only ones I really like are probably monsters...
They may be cruel and kill innocent people, but most of the time they just want to fill their stomachs. And they never justify their evil, nor cover up their shortcomings.
In comparison, demons are the most honest race in the three realms.
It's a pity that you understand this world as well as I do, but in the end you choose to defend God's hypocritical justice and protect weak and ignorant humans. I am really disappointed... Ziya. "
The environment is sad because of the sad look in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes. It seems that the fox demon with supernatural powers can not only feel the inner voice of all things, but also imprint what he wants to express most in the other person's heart in the most direct way
The heavy shadows of the trees surrounding the lawn rustled in the windless air. Was it a response to the Nine-Tailed Fox
The air was as heavy as solidified stone, making it extremely difficult for Xu Zhe, who was kneeling on one knee, to even breathe.
But between his breaths, his dying gasps finally stopped, replaced by delicate and steady breathing, telling everything that he and the Nine-Tailed Fox were standing in the same world.
"Disappointed? I didn't expect you to use this word to describe me? After nearly four thousand years of wandering, you have never felt a trace of remorse in your heart, and you don't even have a trace of apology for the lives you have slaughtered? You are the one who really disappoints me... Daji." Supporting the sword that was already covered in blood, Xu Zhe slowly stood up, but was it really him
The eyes that should have been arrogant were so clear that even the lake water would be ashamed. The resolute face could not find the pain of human beings, and faced the world calmly but casually.
It seems that any death, any rebirth, will not shake this peaceful person. He always keeps his eyes clear, looking at the world we live in, and seeing through the essence of all things. This is a gaze that transcends the gods...
"I still like to hear you call me like this. My heart always feels warm unconsciously." It was like meeting a lover who was reluctant to part. The happy smile on Kyuubi's face came from the depths of his soul that had been beating for four thousand years.
That's why it's impossible to associate her, who smiles like this, with the nine-tailed fox, an ancient monster that once overthrew several dynasties and killed demons and gods.
"This fool actually used blood sacrifice to gain support from the spirits of heaven and earth, but he didn't know that the power contained in his body can completely control the five spirits of heaven and earth. Why does he need a lowly slave-like sacrifice? He is simply playing with your life." While speaking, Jiuwei gently took Xu Zhe's still bleeding wrist, palm up. Gently, as if protecting a fledgling, he slightly bent his body and stretched out his pink tongue to lick the warm wound.
The weird scene was hard to imagine, that two enemies bound by time and space could be as calm as old friends.
Especially when seeing the wounds licked by the Nine-Tailed Fox healing quickly, he was speechless.
"You got the wrong idea. This life is not mine." Looking at the eyes that belonged to God, he did not seem to be surprised by the enemy's treatment. Even after the wound was completely healed, he calmly took his hand back. "Xu Zhe has his own thoughts, his own growth process, and his own obsessions. I am just a past memory in his soul. The one who fights you will no longer be me, but this boy who is gradually maturing." Such an explanation seemed to make it clear that Jiuwei did not save himself. For Xu Zhe's growth, he now has the obligation to save his life in every way, even if it means accepting treatment from the enemy.
"It seems that he still needs a longer period of training... Just because the body of his beloved is being eroded, his brain has reflexively closed its own thinking, and let your little 'memories' come out to help support it. Compared with you who can stand on the corpse of your companion and continue to fight with me, he is simply a piece of 'glass'..." With his hands behind his back, Jiuwei seemed to be in a good mood, and the smile on his face has never stopped since he saw Ziya, "But think about it, he is really wronged, carrying your unfinished mission and becoming the hope of all living things. He has the power to shake the world, but he doesn't know how to use it.
God played with his emotions, humans took over his hand to protect themselves, and I took possession of the last thing he had left that he wanted to own.
As a human being... he is too powerful.
As a demon... he is too kind.
As a god... He is too sad...
The greatest pain for living beings is not the twists and turns of growth, nor the hardships of the journey.
The most painful thing is that you don’t know who you are, you can’t find your own kind, and you can’t see the way. There is no direction to come from, and no distance to go. Is this an independent life form what you want? Perhaps you think only such a spiritual body can be comparable to the ancient Yellow Emperor, wielding the sword in your heart that even you can’t wield—Xuanyuan? Are you overestimating him? "
"Everything is predestined. The last shackle I cannot remove is to eliminate you. This is also destiny. After thousands of years, I have appeared in the body of this young man today. This is also destiny.
No one can see our future, so let's just accept our fate. "Maybe it's really cruel, but Ziya couldn't help being cruel, forging a person like Xu Zhe. It's not his own arrangement, but a destiny that even God can't control. No one can change it, and no one can escape it.
"Destiny? I have always believed that my destiny is in my own hands. As long as I have enough power, I can change my fate. What can I do?" Jiuwei's tone was calm, like a girl's coquettishness, but her domineering words had already ignored the world. "If you want to prove that you are right, you can do it now and use your strength to prove that I am wrong. Compared to Xu Zhe who knows nothing, aren't you more powerful now?"
"You can obviously see into my heart, and you should know that I only appear to protect this fragile person. Even if I use my own strength to break 12 shackles, I can only fight you to a draw at best. Kill you, I admit that I can't do it. Moreover, this must be done at the cost of sacrificing Xu Zhe's personality, and even the last ray of hope will be destroyed in my hands." What Ziya meant was that his appearance was not the beginning of a battle, but also the end of this fight with no winner or loser.
"It's still the same. You like to fight for some vague and unrealistic fantasies. The future of mankind that you believe in has never stopped killing each other every day. All over the world, the number of people they have destroyed themselves is dozens of times more than the number of people devoured by monsters. The emergence of the atomic bomb is even more stupid, equivalent to putting a sword on your own throat. A single stimulus can make these stupid guys destroy themselves... What I can't accept is that you clearly know all this, and you still leave the opportunity to unlock Xuanyuan's seal to cowardly humans." The eyes are wet again, and tears flow again, but the sadness is not the same person. Jiuwei is crying, shedding tears for Ziya, but when the tears fall to the ground, it is like a heavy bomb hitting the earth. Although the ground did not move, the hearts of all living beings within a hundred miles are trembling inexplicably, trembling with the rhythm of the tears falling, "Even if everything is as you expect, Xuanyuan is completely liberated, you don't know if you can kill me. After all, it's not only humans who can evolve, I can also become stronger...
And you will completely disappear at the same moment Xuanyuan acknowledges Xu Zhe, and not even a trace of memory will remain. What is the difference between you and death?"
"If this is the case, then it is just my destiny..." Zi Ya knew his fate better than anyone else. When he told Xu Zhe about Xuanyuan's secret, he had already decided to take this path of eternal destruction...
