Suzaku world, fire.
The world in the flames was shaking to pieces, and red lines were cracked in the sky above the arched dome, and the lines spread to the entire world, like a piece of porcelain that was about to be burned in a kiln.
Under the sky full of fire, the decisive battle between the girl and the white cat has become fierce.
The light of their swords and spiritual energy surged above the world. High-rise buildings were destroyed one after another, and courtyard walls collapsed one after another. People ran or crawled out from within the walls. They rushed onto the streets wailing, They were like walking corpses, and then they were collided by those golden chariots. Their bones were broken, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and their faces were distorted into human shapes in the high-speed impact.
The world is being destroyed.
Evil spirits scrambled to crawl out of the cruel hell, only to be crushed to pieces by the indifferent gods.
Blood and bones were piled on top of each other and crushed into bloody mud by horses' hooves and wheels. No one survived.
This is like a microcosm of the entire human world...
In the sky above, Zhao Xiang'er's slender figure turned into shadows. Each sword light she slashed was enough to span the entire city. Shen Tu and Cang Luan formed red and white lines. After those lines were unfolded, It turned into a smooth sword light and slashed out towards where the Fish King was.
The figure of the Fish King was hidden in the light of the sword. It sat down and rode an eel that was tens of feet long. The eel carried it for three breaths in the light of the sword, and then was chopped into more than three hundred sections.
The Demonic Eyes of the Fish King were also solemn, and the realm shown by Zhao Xiang'er exceeded its initial expectations.
In the light of the sword, it dodged while launching an attack with all its strength.
It did not intend to kill Zhao Xianger in her world, because it was vaguely aware that in this world, unless she was killed directly with one blow, she could be resurrected continuously!
"You are not a fire phoenix... A young phoenix is not that powerful." The Fish King looked at her burst of power and said, "You are indeed the one she really chose..."
The higher the realm, the deeper the fear of heaven and earth. Even in this isolated world, it does not dare to say the word "Suzaku".
Zhao Xiang'er struck down with both swords again and said coldly: "If mother doesn't choose, who will I choose?"
The Fish King stretched out his sharp claw, and the tip of the claw accurately hit the weakest point of the blade. The Cangluan blade was like a seven-inch snake nailed by an iron nail. The sword energy dissipated in an instant, and the Shen Tu who came at the same time was also caught by it. The claws got stuck.
"How good do you think you are?" White Cat responded coldly.
"You cultivators... are just blessed by nature." Anger emerged in the heart of the Fish King. After opening the two swords, the white cat crossed his arms, and the two white lights carried the power of a sword that was not inferior to Zhao Xianger's famous sword. Speed, cutting towards her arms.
Zhao Xiang'er dodged to avoid the center of the air blade, and used the knife to block it outward, brushing away the murderous white blade that came after it.
"Do you really think that you have worked hard, are talented, and have made it here step by step by swimming upstream with the spirit of self-improvement?" The white cat's pupils were red, and it jumped forward with a strange smile: "Don't be stupid! You You are so strong only because your mother is related to the Suzaku Kingdom! You are a descendant of the Kingdom of God and a natural son of God... "
"In this world, there are people who are more talented than you, have more perseverance than you, and have suffered ten times and a hundred times as much as you. Over the past thousand years, I have seen countless people..."
"But what will be their ending?"
"They may take you hundreds of times longer but they may not be able to enter the fifth path... You know a fish that sneaks out of the death pool where the big monster is raised, swims from the ditch where the sewage flows to the narrow stream, turns thousands of times, and circles around After traveling tens of thousands of miles and surrounded by dangers, how long will it take to finally turn into a dragon?"
"But... But even if it is like this, in the end, the skin and cramps of those superior gods will not be peeled off and the soul will be shattered!"
"You ancient gods..."
The white cat looked at the phoenix fire wings stretched out from Zhao Xiang'er's back and spoke in a sharp voice.
Anger burned in the sky.
The two moved at high speed in the interlaced light, turning into shadows that could not be touched by the sword.
The Fish King is still a white cat, but at this moment, he is clearly a roaring evil tiger in the world.
Zhao Xiang'er's sword light was suppressed briefly, and then turned into a denser flow of anger and was thrown out again.
The girl's figure was gorgeous in the firelight.
Her figure broke free from the white cat's intertwined claws and rushed forward with a white fury.
"What are you talking about? There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. If you can't bear the ancient gods' bullying and oppression, then go and resist them!" Zhao Xiang'er's sword tore through everything, and the darkness The ponytail was swaying high, and fire burst out of the black and white eyes.
"What do you think you are like now? You keep talking about injustice, but in the end you become the slave and pawn of the ancient god!"
"You said so much just to find a comfortable excuse to kill me."
The sword light waved and was suppressed brilliantly.
Zhao Xiang'er only learned sword skills in the palace martial arts hall when she was six years old. In the years that followed, she learned all her sword skills by crawling around in the mountains with a wooden sword. , there are no tricks to follow.
The Fish King was forced back a little by this unreasonable sword light. When it listened to Zhao Xiang'er's words, the scars in its heart were opened.
Its sharp claws increased several times in size: "Shut up! The ancient gods deserve to die, and so do you. Those of you who have lived for thousands of years, have been pampered for thousands of years, and ignored the world should all deserve to die!"
The evil tiger shook the mountains and forests.
The wind surged.
It was not a simple wind, but a flow of space caused by the tremors of the world.
The strong wind hit her face like a knife. Zhao Xianger crossed her two swords in front of her chest. The protective field she had set up was torn open by the strong wind, and several strands of her hair were chopped into pieces in the wind.
"The ancient gods... The ancient gods were just born early! In terms of perseverance, hardship, and determination, how can you compare to us?"
"At the beginning, you also created that huge panic and bewitched many great demons. If a saint had not been born and shattered this huge panic, not only me... but all the great demons in the world would have been buried in the kingdom of heaven you talked about. …”
"The Kingdom of God keeps saying that it upholds the rules of heaven and earth and protects all living beings in the world. Aren't monsters just living beings..."
"Hahaha, it's funny to say that in the end you chose a smarter human race... They are indeed smart. They actually did what we demon race couldn't do."
"You... deserve it!"
The Fish King knows that Zhao Xiang'er may not understand this, but it doesn't care about playing the harp to a cow. It just wants to vent. It wants to vent in this isolated world. It wants to vent its dissatisfaction that has been sealed for five hundred years. It wants to bring this world to its knees. Beaten to pieces.
The cat's palm touched the center of Zhao Xiang'er's intertwined swords.
The blade dimmed, and her figure was pushed back by the strong wind of space and the impact of the cat's claws.
"Nao Nao... You have become someone else's cat, and you still dream of roaring in the mountains and forests like a tiger? You are not a slave only if you add a collar to your neck..." Zhao Xiang'er's eyes were like knives, and with a tremor of her wrist, she shook off the blade. He walked up to the entangled air current and said calmly: "If you saints come back and see the monsters from back then have become like this, you will be very disappointed, right?"
"What do you know, little girl?" the white cat roared angrily. The realm of the demonic realm aroused majestic power in the body. Those powers burst out from its hair, like thousands of thin swords at the same time. When it was unsheathed, the sword energy flew thousands of miles in an instant, enough to turn the entire sky into a honeycomb.
Huge crackling sounds like thunderstorms kept ringing in the air.
After all, Zhao Xiang'er's realm is fake. Although she has slashed out several sharp edges that can only be possessed by the five realms in a short period of time, the power of the world is also being squeezed by her, and thousands of sword lights are flowing across it. After that, her realm began to shake.
But the Fish King became more and more courageous as he fought. The anger that had been suppressed for five hundred years kept hitting Zhao Xiang'er's body and this shaky world with the power of the five ways.
The Fish King stood on the spot and snapped his fingers. Three white, fish-like crossbow arrows flew forward and flew out, leaving behind three spiral entangled snow-white smoke trails.
The crossbow arrow hit him, and Zhao Xiang'er blocked it with his sword.
Pong!
There was another loud noise.
Zhao Xiang'er's strength was not enough to brush away the incoming crossbow arrows, so she was forced backwards quickly by the abundant force.
The Fish King snapped his fingers two more times.
In the void on the left and right sides of it, three fish-shaped arrows were shot out at high speed, dragging slender white air and hitting Zhao Xiang'er accurately.
With the trembling sound of the blade, the girl was knocked directly into the broken imperial city.
The crossbow arrow exploded like a firecracker. After smashing Zhao Xiang'er into the imperial city, it suddenly exploded, setting off a white light that reached the sky, swallowing up countless golden chariots and shattering them into golden pieces.
The white cat pointed at the smoky ruins.
The dust is gone.
Zhao Xiang'er fell in the deep pit of the ruins, the tips of both blades were broken off, and the blade's luster faded.
"Is that all?" Fish King asked coldly.
The cracks in the sky grew larger and larger.
In this world, they are in a state of ebb and flow. Once Zhao Xiang'er shows his weakness, he will be suppressed by the Fish King who becomes more and more courageous as he fights, making him unable to get up at all.
Zhao Xiang'er didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and swallowed the blood.
The laws of the world poured into her body, quickly repairing the wounds on her body.
On the white and slender arm, blood flowed across the wrist, fell on the blade, dripped from the break of the blade, and was evaporated clean by the flames.
Without saying a word, she pulled up the bloody body from the ruins, and the broken wings behind her were re-condensed into shape in the flames.
brush!
The girl's figure disappeared in a flash.
The fire in the sky burned brighter.
The replica of the famous sword simulated in her hand was tempered again and became complete.
The Fish King looked at the mighty sword light coming towards her. It can feel that the edge of the sword energy has faintly collapsed.
It sighed and said, "It's all in vain."
The girl's knife stopped a foot in front of its head.
Its snow-white hair still maintained its original fluttering texture, even being affected by the sword energy.
In an instant, Zhao Xiang'er was knocked away again. She was hit in the air and retreated quickly. At the same time, she waved her blade and drew defensive barriers with red bird patterns while retreating.
The Fish King raised his hands, making bow and arrow movements one after another.
The sound of glass shattering was heard, and the sound of iron arrows breaking through the wind was heard continuously.
Suzaku's barrier was immediately shattered, leaving only a burning edge.
Those are three arrows.
Zhao Xiang'er channeled enough spiritual energy to block with a blade attached to the power of law.
The blade, which was finally repaired, broke again after touching the iron arrow.
The third branch also followed.
Zhao Xiang'er clamped the hilt of the knife against the arrow that was spinning at high speed, dragging the snow-white air current.
The sound of the laws breaking was heard, and she was forced to retreat.
The Fish King was like a tiger in a circus passing through fire rings. He crossed more than seventy fire rings in a row and jumped in front of Zhao Xiang'er.
The white cat raised its paw and swung it down.
Blood spurts.
Zhao Xiang'er's hand lost its strength in resisting the arrow, and the high-speed rotating arrow pierced her chest, smashing her into the city wall with huge force.
The burning city wall collapsed in large areas, revealing the realm of nothingness behind it.
The white cat looked at his fingers.
It may not be the strongest cat demon in the world, but its fingers are definitely the most flexible among cats.
It is also thanks to this that it can practice various Taoist techniques that require pinching like humans.
The fragments of the collapsed city wall and the ethereal fire engulfed Zhao Xiang'er's figure.
The cracks in the sky are getting bigger and bigger, and you can almost see the night sky of the outside world exposed behind it.
Zhao Xiang'er's aura under the city wall became weaker and weaker.
The Fish King felt a sense of emptiness. It recalled Zhao Xiang'er's previous words and felt a sense of loss.
It regrets what it is now, but because it has no choice, it doesn't regret it.
"it's over… "
It says this.
It was in a similar position back then, and the old fox also said this in the ruins of the Palace Square.
History repeats itself again.
A flash of fire rose in the city wall.
The light in the fire was like water in the river. Even the Fish King didn't notice it at first.
By the time it noticed it, the fire had already taken off into the sky, breaking through the barriers in the world and exploding brilliantly outside.
Those were the fireworks that sent the order.
At this moment, the night sky outside the city should be particularly brightly illuminated by the fireworks.
The Fish King frowned, not understanding what she was doing.
…
Baicheng far away from the battlefield...
"Look there!"
"It's His Majesty's command fire!"
"It's tonight..."
In the brief conversation, the entire White City guards woke up instantly. They looked at the flames exploding in the sky, their expressions excited and excited.
The land of Zhao State, which fell into the hands of Jin State, will finally return to Zhao's territory tonight, and today Zhao is no longer what it used to be, becoming the most powerful country in Nanzhou.
In the city, people who were sleeping soundly did not know what was happening at this moment.
"Pull down the flag!"
The leading general raised his arms and let out a roaring shout.
On the city wall, all the flags of the Jin State were pulled down at the same time, raised high, cut off with a waist knife, and thrown under the city tower. At the same time, the national flag of the Zhao State was neatly planted in the vacancy of the original flag.
Flags painted with fire sparrows fluttered in the night wind.
The generals who have been fighting on the city wall for many years knew that this moment was bound to come, but they still couldn't help but burst into tears when the fireworks went up and the flags were changed.
The military song of Zhao State was sung over the imperial city.
After tonight, Zhao Guo... is finally complete!
…
In Suzaku's world.
The last link in Zhao Xiang'er's fate was finally completed.
Suzaku's final seal no longer exists.
The fragments of the city wall were lifted, and the girl soared into the sky. The illusory wings no longer burned behind her, as if she were the god himself.
The Fish King looked at her with a shocked expression.
When the world was condensed, Jiu Yu, who was originally embedded in the depths of the sea of consciousness and could not move, came out freely, turned into a dark sharp blade, and was held in her hand again.
Zhao... Xiang...er.
She read her name softly.
The next moment, her fish king's pupils disappeared.
A huge feeling of oppression came from behind the white cat.
Zhao Xiang'er sat cross-legged on the Jiuling Platform, just like her teacher back then.
The Fish King turned around and looked at her. He was not afraid and said coldly: "Who is not in the realm of five realms..."
In the void, fish came out.
The crossbow arrows turned into white fish drew thousands of arcs, shooting at Zhao Xiang'er one after another.
Zhao Xiang'er raised her head, feeling a little dazed as she felt the power in her body.
She knew that when the world collapsed, she would have to leave early without waiting for the angel to greet her.
This is also the reason why she has never let Zhao Guo complete the jade.
"The perfect jade returns to Zhao..."
Zhao Guo's jade was perfect, and she was also perfect.
Are you still unable to get rid of your own fate
She smiled bitterly, then stretched out her finger and started writing.
Black light exploded.
The Fish King was also desperate and mobilized his power to its peak.
It didn't want to be like this, because it was burning against fate...
Its figure began to surge, revealing its true face in the demon path.
It was a big cat that was as big as a castle tower. Its hair was extremely long and slightly curved, swaying like water in the firelight.
It pounced on Zhao Xiang'er at the old site of Jiulingtai.
The first character of Zhao Xiang'er has been written.
"Walk."
Go word.
The world tilts towards the Fish King.
It is frozen in the world, apparently moving forward, but actually moving backward.
"Go" is an order to expel guests.
Then, Zhao Xiang'er quickly wrote the second character.
The word "乂".
Those were two sword lights, one was the red of Shentu, and the other was the white of Cangluan. They flashed past each other, revealing the stronger edge at the beginning, like intertwined and tilted crosses, heading towards the direction of the Fish King. Pressed over.
The word "乂" came and hit its huge figure.
The sword light exploded on its hair.
It leaned back and pressed against the ruins of the city wall.
In front of the Fish King, most of the beautiful snow-white hair was burned away.
The character "Zhao" was what the Imperial Master wrote before his death. At that time, he believed that many years later, Zhao Xianger could write a better "Zhao". Today, she finally did it.
Zhao Xiang'er stood up and held the dark sword blade in his hand.
The world burned with her.
The Fish King felt the pain in his chest and looked unwilling.
Are you going to die...
At the time of life and death, it gave birth to a trace of trance.
It reminds me of when I was still young...
At that time, it was a scrawny young white cat. It was picked up by a banshee. The banshee abandoned it not long after and threw it near the fish pond to fend for itself.
It was also at that time that it met many fish.
"I really envy you, you can be free in the water..." it said to the old fish that came out of the water at that time.
It will always remember the look on the old fish's face, which told it that this was not a fish pond at all, but just stagnant water for those big shots to fish and play... They were destined to die after being thrown here.
The white cat asked him, "Can't you stop biting the bait?"
The old fish told the white cat that those big monsters would take away all the food and make them hungry for days and nights, so hungry that they would want to eat even if they died... Later, one time, they made up their minds to feed on mud to fill themselves up. That day, the monster didn't catch a single fish, and then in a rage, it penetrated the entire fish pond with the power of thunder and lightning.
At that time, almost all the fish were electrocuted to death, and the monster did not take care of it, leaving their floating corpses to rot and become smelly.
The old fish showed it the black scars on its scales and told it that he was one of the surviving fish at that time. They survived by eating the corpses of their companions...
The white cat looked at the fish pond and trembled.
Later, it got to know many fish in the pond, and it remembered their names and appearances. These names also died in front of it one after another when it was holding the fish basket in its mouth.
The white cat went from being heartbroken at the beginning to being numb at the end.
It wants to kill these monsters and leave this terrible, nightmarish prison.
But their realms are too different.
It asked the old fish how to practice and how to become stronger.
How did the old fish know? He just guessed that cultivation is about doing things that ordinary people can't do.
What ordinary people cannot do is practice...
After thinking hard, the white cat began to practice snapping his fingers and practicing using some simple tools with his fingers. This process alone took ten years... Ten years later, it finally had fingers as flexible as humans.
But where do you get the exercises
That is something that the monsters have a monopoly on, and it is impossible for it to fall into their hands.
It tried many ways and was almost beaten to death by the monster.
Until one day, the old fish surfaced again.
It told the white cat a secret.
It can survive until now, in addition to its own will, it relies on... and something in its belly.
It was a volume of books that it accidentally swallowed in the mud when it was very hungry.
"Tear my body apart... I don't know what it is, but I hope it can help you." Old Fish said seriously: "It's in my body, so I can't die... You have to promise me, After you kill me, you must take them... out."
The old fish jumped onto the shore, lay down on the mud, and closed his eyes.
"I can't kill you!" The white cat grabbed it and threw it into the water again.
This is its last friend.
The old fish said slowly: "Water is the fate of all fish, and death is the fate of all living things... Kill me. I have left the water and don't want to go back. Let me go back to the destination of all living things... "
After a long time, the white cat tremblingly stretched out its claws, tore open the scales and flesh wrapped in its scars, and took out the secret book from its belly.
The old fish didn't say a word until he died.
Its fish eyes turned white.
The white cat held the bloody secret book stained with bile and blood, and cried loudly, crying until it was hoarse and heartbroken...
From then on, he embarked on the path of monasticism.
The fish in the pond changed batch after batch.
Finally one day, this humble cat that helped the monster carry the fish basket was discovered.
It was the hostess who originally picked her up who discovered it.
She felt that this was a malleable talent and took her back with her. It thought that its life had a glimmer of hope, but not long after, it only screamed twice in the night, and was castrated by the banshee indifferently with a knife... It rolled all over the ground, but it didn't even cry out in pain. Dare to make a sound.
Therefore, it later grew its hair very long, not to cover up anything else, but to cover up the ugly scar of humiliation...
How much time passed after that, ten years, twenty years, fifty years...
Countless fish died in the fish pond... It watched helplessly as they died in batches.
It never fulfilled the old fish's last wish.
I don’t know how many years passed.
A rainy night.
He finally mastered this technique completely.
It roared like crazy, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the hostess, and the banshee hit it with a stick as usual.
It turned its head and looked at her, its pupils shining in the rainy night.
Screams sounded.
That's the scream of a banshee...
The icy rain is a whip of revenge.
It listened to her screams, her apologies, begging for mercy, threats and abuses... It tore her body apart, pulled out her internal organs, tortured her until she took her last breath, and then cut off her head.
It was a killing night.
On the day when the skill was perfected, it discovered that these monsters that had enslaved them for many years turned out to be so weak...
It kept killing, kept killing, until rivers of blood flowed, and the heavy rain filled the sky was filled with the smell of blood.
When it returned with blood, the fish in the pond jumped out of the water to welcome its triumph.
That was its night of triumph.
It has been more than 1,500 years ago.
It broke the dam and finally set them free.
But it was only at this moment that it discovered that these arrogant monsters were also trapped in a larger fence. They were the slaves of another group of big monsters.
It practiced quietly for a long time, and after confirming that its realm was higher than that of the city lord, it killed it on a night of heavy rain and strong flow.
It got out of that cage.
Then it discovered that these cities were originally pig pens surrounded by those ancient gods...
Those ancient gods... were so powerful that they were hopelessly powerful.
Even after it reached the Five Paths, it still couldn't forget the despair of that night.
Later, it killed countless creatures, became bloodthirsty, and became indifferent. It began to long for the final road to heaven. It wanted to escape from this never-ending purgatory and find true freedom!
But later...
later…
Breaking the cage along the way, you will always encounter something that you cannot break despite your best efforts...
Blood flowed through its body, and it roared in pain.
It knew that the woman in white, the boy in white, and the little phoenix named Zhao Xianger had shouldered a lot to live to this day. They are just like themselves back then, walking confidently on the road to heaven.
But I am no longer the cat on the rainy night.
It became the servant of the ancient god.
It's against them...
Perhaps this is the shackles that no creature in this world can ever break.
It feels ridiculous and sad.
Who among the living beings who can survive from ancient times to this day has never been a weeping person!
The fish king roared sadly.
The word "Zhao" was broken in front of it.
Behind it, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky - it was a whale dragon.
It is as big as the entire imperial city.
The white cat rode on the back of the whale dragon and pounced on Zhao Xiang'er.
Zhao Xiang'er stood up and looked solemn.
She wasn't sure whether she could win.
But there is only one way, which is to press the knife forward...
Unprecedented light burst out from the pitch-black Nine Feathers Blade.
She also cut through.
The whole city was shattered.
The huge impact lifted up the fragments of the broken city-state and shook it into the sky.
The world is destroyed at this moment.
…
…
The figure of the Fish King fell backward.
It was seriously injured.
But it knew it had won.
The world has been destroyed, the character Zhao has been shattered, and Zhao Xiang'er cannot ascend immediately. As long as he regains his strength, he can easily subdue and kill her...
But it didn't feel pleasurable.
The eyes of these young people are so familiar...that's what it once had.
It once again recalled the scene of the old fish jumping onto the mud bank.
It had obviously been given the power to live forever by the secret book, but it still struggled for ten years, and finally jumped angrily and got rid of its fate as a fish.
It was obviously so old and weak, but when the fish scales were peeled off and its belly was disemboweled, it remained silent and regarded death as if it were home...
The white cat was speechless.
If Old Yu saw himself now, I don’t know what he would think...
A glimmer of light appeared in front of its eyes.
The demon's pupil opened and it saw Zhao Xiang'er.
A young man in red, who was obviously pretty but almost demon-like, was holding her.
He took her hand and took the sword from her.
But where the white cat was, it was not the imperial city at night.
It was an empty world, with broken fragments of Starfire suspended high.
The white cat understood.
"Is this your country?" it asked.
"This is your grave," he said.
…
…
(In the early morning... see you as soon as possible!)
(I like chapters like this. I can feel the joy of writing when writing.)
(By the way, I would like to recommend a new book by a friend: "Return from the Netherworld". I read the beginning and I think it's pretty good.)
