"Look, we found this again." Mu Xue showed Cen Qianshan a crumpled piece of paper in her hand. On the yellowed paper were several dark brown bloody words:
The meaningless struggle is in vain. In the end, I still came to this point...
The handwriting was messy and crazy, with several big crosses and brown stains on the edges. It was obvious that the person who left the handwriting was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
At this moment, under the black gatehouse, the man sitting on the dead tree spoke softly,
"Give up. It's useless to struggle. In the end, no one can escape from their truest desires."
His body was dissipated by thick smoke, as if he was covered in an unpredictable black robe, revealing his hands and face.
This person was obviously no longer human, and his pressure was as strong as a god. He was the demon from outside the domain. Although only his incarnation appeared here at the moment, under his feet, hideous demons broke through the ground and drilled out under his magic power.
The double-edged Shilong, the eight-legged compound-eyed demon spider, the demon bull with a human face and a beast body... pounced on the human monk in front of them.
The Guiyuan Sect's most precious treasures, the Hunyuan Bag and the Jinguang Ding, were knocked to the ground, their spiritual light dimmed, and they were no longer able to defend their master from the enemy. The two young disciples were in a mess, running around in exhaustion under the siege of the demons.
Xiao Changge's rain turned everything into something. The dense spiritual plants and intertwined vines surrounded the two of them, blocking the attacks of most monsters. Outside his jungle, the flames were raging, and the flying monsters screamed.
Shilong's double blades broke through the fire wall, cut through the vines, and fell from the sky, with phantom blades flying all over the sky, and her weird laughter filled the air. Zhuo Yu's arms were on fire, and she was able to catch the double blades.
The demon god on the black dead tree sat there with no interest, and finally stretched out a finger impatiently, and the pale and bloodless finger lightly pointed forward, and a wisp of black smoke with the power of ghosts and gods penetrated through the layers of hardwood defense with a puff, and rushed straight to Zhuo Yu who was performing the Flame Art with all his strength.
Zhuo Yu and Fei Tian Shi Long were in a stalemate, unable to avoid or block the blow. At this moment, a hand reached out in front of him, blocking the fatal blow with its flesh and blood, and a stream of hot blood splashed on his face. The blood was boiling hot, and it was the blood of his fellow disciples.
Zhuo Yu got rid of Shi Meng and stood with his back to Xiao Changge. Xiao Changge had one arm hanging by his side, with drops of blood dripping from it.
"Why not use the moistening technique?" Zhuo Yu asked with a frown.
Xiao Changge shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't have much spiritual power left."
…
Inside the Great Joy Hall
Mu Xue put the repaired "magic weapons" into the corresponding positions in the magic circle one by one. The mechanism on the sculpture was activated, and the little people sang and danced along the edge of the magic circle, singing ancient songs.
The magic circle lit up as expected, like a large, bright full moon floating above the ground beneath their feet.
Mu Xue and Cen Qianshan looked at each other, held hands and stepped into the silver-white light array together.
The water-like light gradually submerged the two people's bodies. They found that an invisible force came from the magic circle, pulling the two people in different directions. And each other's figures gradually became faint in each other's eyes.
After this separation, I don’t know where each of us is going.
Mu Xue looked up at Cen Qianshan, who was a head taller than her.
Xiao Shan had always felt insecure since he was young, and was afraid of being separated from her for a long time. Whenever he went out hunting or exploring secret places, he would always find ways to stick to her and take him with him.
Now, he must be very uneasy, right
Even if we are in different places, I will definitely come to find you, Mu Xue wanted to say this to him. Before she could finish her words, Cen Qianshan's voice came.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Unexpectedly, Cen Qianshan held Mu Xue's hand and spoke to comfort her, "Just protect yourself, I will find you, I will find you soon."
His half-empty fingers lifted a strand of long hair on Mu Xue's shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and kissed her gently in front of her. Then his amber eyes raised and looked at Mu Xue without blinking.
Deep in his eyes there was a hint of grievance, a hint of stubbornness, and a hint of aggression that belonged to an adult of the opposite sex.
At that moment, a warm current surged in Mu Xue's heart and her mind was buzzing.
The light of the formation surged up, and the pair of eyes that were gazing deeply at him gradually became empty. Black hair fell from the air, and the figure opposite him was finally obliterated in a white light.
Mu Xue sank into the silver light of the teleportation array, her body seemed to be floating in a white sea of light. She closed her eyes, her heart was pounding, and the pair of eyes that were looking at her intently were still in her mind.
At that moment, she clearly realized that the boy who had been with her since childhood had grown up completely, no longer a fledgling who needed her protection, no longer needed her to worry about everything, and no longer needed her to protect him everywhere. Instead, he had become a man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her and would extend his strong arms to support her.
The moment he kissed me, my heart was pounding. The moment he disappeared, I felt a strong sense of nostalgia. There should be no other explanation for this feeling.
The array light faded, and Mu Xue found herself standing alone in a vast white space. She didn't know where Cen Qianshan was teleported to.
The space around her unfolded like a scroll, with a circle of vivid and colorful murals appearing around her.
On the mural, there is a colorful gate and a black gate at the two ends of a long road. The colorful gatehouse is far away in the sky, and the huge black stone gatehouse is right in front of you.
Beneath the towering black stone archway, there was a boundless sea of desire. Countless human men and women, monsters and demons were soaking in the sea of desire and entangled with each other. An expression of extreme enjoyment and happiness appeared on everyone's face.
Among all kinds of people, there are men in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by beauties, with a face full of self-satisfaction. There are also women who are high and mighty, pursued by countless handsome men, and enjoy themselves unscrupulously.
In the center of the sea of desire, a demon god sat casually on a black dead tree. The demon had long hair like smoke, a pale face, and drooping eyelashes as he looked at the living beings under his feet. His pale palm held a bloody human heart, and the glaring blood stained the corners of his mouth and chest red.
Countless people were crawling under the tree, offering sacrifices to him, offering their most precious things to the devil in exchange for the ultimate bliss in this world.
Mu Xue sat down in the center of the scroll, collected his mind, and focused his attention on the Yuan and One.
Although there were demons dancing around her, playing lascivious music, and the scene was filthy and chaotic, she turned to the court mind method, and was able to make the sights pass by her eyes without leaving any traces. The sounds entered her ears, but her eyes and ears were empty. Her body and mind were motionless, empty and boundless, and she was completely free of anything.
Although Cen Qianshan was no longer with her, she was not too anxious at the moment. She believed that as long as she kept her heart, she could get out of the predicament safely. She believed that someone as strong as Xiaoshan would be able to do the same as herself.
…
Cen Qianshan came out of the teleportation array and found himself standing on solid ground. His master was not around and he didn't know where he had gone.
In the distance of this gray and desolate land, there is a huge stone gate. At the stone gate, fighting spirit soared into the sky, and a flame and a wood spirit were entangled with the black evil spirit. And huge monsters were constantly emerging from the ground and rushing towards the location of the battle.
Cen Qianshan was very familiar with the two fire and wood spiritual energies; they were the unique spiritual power systems of his master's two fellow disciples.
When he thought of his master and the outrageous behavior he had just done under the impulse of separation, Cen Qianshan's face turned red instantly.
He clenched his fist and put it to his lips. Just now, he was so rebellious. Was the master angry? Did he hate him
"No, Master, I saw it all." Qianji climbed onto his shoulder in time and nodded seriously, "I saw it clearly, Mr. Mu didn't look unhappy at all."
Cen Qianshan looked at it.
Qianji raised his little arms, "She likes it, I promise."
"But if we don't go up and take a look now, the two brothers from Master Mu might be dead." Qianji turned his head and looked in the direction of the mountain gate. "In fact, it would be better if there were fewer such coquettish and slutty girls. I'm just worried that Master Mu would be sad."
The next moment, the master had summoned the UFO, stepped on it, and flew towards the battlefield.
In front of the stone gate, the demon god stood up from the tree, his robes like smoke floating in the air and changing constantly. He raised his arm and grabbed in mid-air. The injured Xiao Changge covered his neck and was lifted up into the air, and then was thrown down from the air in front of Zhuo Yu, spitting out blood and unable to get up.
Zhuo Yu clenched his fists and stopped attacking. The huge and terrifying monsters around him slowly surrounded him.
"Kill the man in front of you. Sacrifice his heart to me and become my believer." The devil god surrounded by black mist spoke condescendingly, "Then you will become a truly powerful person and gain my power."
Zhuo Yu was filled with anger and stared at him without saying a word.
"Only fire is the most powerful and ruthless thing in this world. You and I are actually the same. Weakness is a sin, and strength is the only goal we pursue." The man in the air had a cold look, without a trace of human emotion. "You think the same in your heart, right? Get rid of the meaningless entanglement of those weak people. Come to my side and let me teach you the real powerful power."
"You and I are not the same person." Zhuo Yu suddenly said, "You are Xu Kun, right? You have the mindset of a candle dragon everywhere, but you betrayed your master three hundred years ago and became a demon. Even if we once had similarities, we are completely different now."
After hearing this, "Xu Kun" was not angry. Instead, he smiled faintly, "As expected of you, my senior brother's apprentice. Your tone and expression are exactly the same as my senior brother back then. It makes me miss you a little."
"I have achieved the body of a celestial demon and enjoy an endless life. I am no longer Xu Kun. As for Senior Brother Danyangzi, I am afraid he is already very old now and his life span is not long, right? You are just wasting your time and wasting your good qualities by following such an incompetent master."
When mentioning his respected master, Zhuo Yu's eyes burned with anger and he sneered, "You betrayed your master and have been associating with such filthy monsters all day long, living in the sewer-like Heavenly Demon Realm. You even have to rely on this incarnation to see the light of day. Do you really feel very proud of yourself?"
This sentence somehow hit the sore spot of "Xu Kun". His aura suddenly turned cold, his cold eyes turned dark red, and his white fingers turned into inhuman claws with gnarled muscles. He grabbed in mid-air.
"The world I see is beyond the imagination of an ant like you!"
As his eyes turned red and he attacked in the air, Zhuo Yu felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if one of his organs was being plucked out alive. The pain was unbearable, and he choked and vomited a large amount of blood.
“Kill the fellow apprentice in front of you and give me his heart.” Blood flowed out from between Xu Kun’s clenched claws. “Otherwise I will make you collapse in pain bit by bit.”
Zhuo Yu couldn't bear the pain and fell to the ground, curling up. His fragile internal organs were controlled by others, and the pain almost made him lose his mind, unable to live or die.
The land beneath his body changed with the will of the demon god, mountains and rivers rose up, and the ground sank. Zhuo Yu found himself and Xiao Changge lying on the edge of a cliff thousands of feet high.
"Push him down. Just give him a gentle push and the pain will end." The cold voice became gentle and whispered soothingly in his ear.
"Why bother? Is it worth it to endure such torture for others?"
Zhuo Yu opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Changge who was right in front of him, his eyes blurred by cold sweat.
does it worth
What's so worth it? I once hated Xiao Changge deeply. From the first day I entered the mountain gate, this person has always been surrounded by kindness and friendliness. That is something I have been seeking but cannot get, and I envy it deeply.
"Look at that child, it's Yuze Shibu,"
"In the future, he will definitely be a person who will benefit all living beings."
"It's the light of the master."
"What a good kid."
When these eyes were turned towards me, they all turned into obvious disgust and hatred. When I was young, I had stood in the dark corners countless times, resenting this fellow apprentice.
They treat me like this, why should I have to endure such pain for them in the end.
Waves of intense pain almost obscured Zhuo Yu's mind and broke his heart.
"Yes, they do this to you. Why do you have to endure it? Now if you just reach out your hand and push him down, all the sources of pain will disappear."
The voice kept whispering in his ears, stirring up the darkest side of his heart and amplifying it over and over again.
Yes, with just a gentle push, these great pains and long-standing troubles will disappear.
Zhuo Yu was sweating profusely as he looked at Xiao Changge lying in front of him. Unable to resist, he lay on the edge of the cliff with wounds all over his body, with a hideous bloody hole on his palm, and the uncoagulated blood was still flowing along the gray-black ground.
Xiao Changge was also trying to open his eyes and look at him, "Brother, one death is better than all of them dying..."
He gently stretched out his bloody palm, pushed himself on the ground, and his body rolled down from the edge of the cliff.
But before that hand fell into the abyss, someone grabbed the wrist and held it tightly, hanging on the edge of life.
Zhuo Yu on the edge of the cliff grabbed his junior brother and grasped the conscience in his heart.
Xu Kun floated above the cliff in a cross-legged position, looking at the two people struggling for survival.
"Why do you have to catch him? You can't even protect yourself. You've been practicing so hard, working day and night for so many years, and you haven't even started to show any results. Are you really willing to die here?"
Zhuo Yu lay on the edge of the cliff, holding the person tightly in his hand. The blood on his arm fell into the abyss.
"I'm different from you. We're not the same people." He said with gritted teeth and red eyes.
Xu Kun sighed, "That's a pity. I actually liked you very much. I wanted to keep you by my side as a companion."
He moved his fingers slightly, the cliff collapsed, and the two people on the top of the mountain fell into the bottomless abyss together.
At this moment, a six-armed, three-eyed Mahakala rose from the ground, and his shadowless iron fist attacked the demon god Xu Kun in the air like a rainstorm of meteors.
Cen Qianshan rode his swallowtail-shaped flying magic weapon over the rubble-covered cliff and caught the two people who were falling.
He carried the two people to the nearest flat ground and flew towards the battlefield in the air.
"You go first and find a place to hide."
The puppet-turned god Mahakala collided with the invisible Xu Kun in the air.
At the foot of the mountain not far from the battlefield, Xiao Changge carried Zhuo Yu on his back, walking on the bumpy black rock ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Those who have lost their fighting ability should try to stay away from battlefields filled with monsters and find a relatively safe place to recuperate.
The cold sweat and blood on Zhuo Yu's forehead dripped down Xiao Changge's shoulders and onto the ground.
"Senior Brother, you came down specially to save me, right?" Xiao Changge said slowly as he walked. He was also seriously injured, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he could only walk with difficulty.
Zhuo Yu closed his eyes and did not speak.
Xiao Changge was sweating profusely as he walked slowly, talking to himself: "In fact, I have always been a little envious of you, Senior Brother."
Zhuo Yu on his shoulder opened his eyes.
"Since the day I entered the sect, everyone has always said that I am a benefactor, saying that I will be able to take care of many people in the future. Everyone looks at me with eyes full of expectations."
"In fact, I was very panicked because I knew that I was not as good as everyone said."
"Under the gaze of so many people, I always live in fear, not daring to make any mistakes, not daring to do anything that would let down this reputation."
"Once, a junior fellow student accidentally extinguished the alchemy furnace that I had worked so hard on for half a month. I was very angry, but because I am Yuze Shibu, I had to act magnanimous and not care about it in exchange for everyone's praise."
"But that day, I also saw your stove being put out by a few of your senior brothers. You rolled up your sleeves, went up to fight with them, and knocked down all three of your senior brothers."
"At that time, I felt particularly envious of you."
"Brother, you are the real strong one. Among us, except for Junior Sister Xiaoxue, no one can be your opponent."
"And even though I have such a reputation, I am actually a very cowardly person."
"I'm always afraid of offending people, afraid of making them unhappy. I never dare to show my true self."
"Look, I found out this time. I am really useless. I haven't done anything well. I just fell in love with a girl, but she left me and ran away. I also caused you, my brother, to get hurt so badly."
He walked and talked with his head down, the sweat on his forehead flashed in the sunlight and fell to the ground.
It turns out that everyone has their own troubles. Zhuo Yu hung on Xiao Changge's shoulder, looking at the little drops of water falling on the ground. I am not the only one living in distress.
