After a long silence, thunderous cheers broke out near the city wall.
Those who survived the disaster either cried and held their heads in excitement, or prostrated themselves and kowtowed to Zhu Changyang and others.
Yin Kanwei felt relieved and let out a long sigh.
Zhu Changyang didn't even have time to catch his breath. He almost immediately turned around and ran to Jun Shu, squatting down to help him: "Jun Shu, how are you?"
Jun Shu's face was still pale, his glass-like eyes were hazy, and it was obvious that his consciousness was still in chaos.
Hearing Zhu Changyang's voice, he instinctively put his fingers together and raised them upwards, wanting to make a gesture, "I'll save you, save you..."
"I'm fine." Zhu Changyang quickly held his fingers and pressed them down. His heart suddenly tightened as he held them.
Jun Shu's fingers were frighteningly cold, as cold as ice.
Zhu Changyang immediately held his hand tighter and rubbed it, "You should have a good rest."
Jun suddenly felt a warmth on his fingertips in a daze, and instinctively held it with his backhand.
Zhu Changyang did not struggle and let him hold his hand. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his empty hand and gently patted the back of Jun Shu's hand.
The strength in Jun Shu's hands loosened a little, and his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Studio:
[55555, this is true friendship in times of adversity. Chang Yang and Jun Shu both care about each other so much. I am touched.]
[Although the timing is not right, at this moment, there are only three words in my mind... ]
[I hit it.]
Yin Kanwei ignored the people's thanks, put away the cold silver light, and walked towards Zhu Changyang.
At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from all around.
This move came without any warning, and Yin Kanwei was immediately shocked. It was too late to react.
The breath was fast, urgent, and powerful, like a tremendous force pressing down on his limbs and bones, instantly forcing him to be unable to move.
At the same time, demonic energy suddenly appeared in the air, condensing into a bunch of black hair, and drilled towards the citizens in all directions who had not yet dispersed.
Suti's figure emerged on the city wall, still dressed in mourning, with long hair flying, and holding a snow-white rabbit in her hands. The rabbit's eyes were the same as hers, so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
Smiling, he said slowly, "Gu Peng, you can't save them."
From the very beginning, her goal was to massacre the city, not Gu Peng.
Even if she cannot defeat Gu Peng, she wants everyone in this city to be buried with him.
Yin Kanwei's eyes flashed red, and he wanted to take action, but he was helpless.
Su Ti's cultivation in the illusion was much stronger than his, and the cold silver light was put away, and it was too late to set it up again.
Studio:
[Oh my god, Suti is too fierce! ]
[I knew it! You have to finish off the boss after defeating him! ]
Zhu Changyang was shocked and subconsciously tightened his grip on Jun Shu's hand.
It was his first time fighting in the world of cultivation, and he had only a vague understanding of the various techniques, so he thought that Gu Peng’s cultivation was already strong enough.
Who would have thought that Suti would have such an unpredictable move.
It was too late to steer the sword now, and it was impossible to use the same move he had just used.
Now Su Ti is standing on the city wall. It is not clear whether Su Ti can be hurt if so many swords are thrown down. It is estimated that many citizens under the wall will die.
Moreover, he could feel that Su Ti's cultivation had obviously become stronger, reaching an almost terrifying level.
But even if you know it's impossible, you can only try your best.
Zhu Changyang was about to stand up.
Jun Shu felt his movements, and pulled him in a daze, muttering: "Don't go, Gu Peng strengthened her in his memory, you can't beat her now..."
If Gu Peng himself were here, perhaps he could give it a try.
But Zhu Changyang is not a lone wolf after all. Even if he holds the sword of mind, the strength he can exert is only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it.
Zhu Changyang paused for a moment, then said in a daze: "I understand."
In the distance, on top of the city wall.
Suti's lifelong cultivation poured out, and her black hair flew forward in an instant, connecting with the demonic energy that enveloped the citizens.
It covered the whole sky and earth, entangling everyone.
Studio:
[Oh my god! Does Jun Shu mean that Su Ti has become stronger in this illusion and Chang Yang can't handle her? ]
[What kind of weird memory is this, Gu Peng!!]
The black hair penetrated into the blood, hearts, and lungs of mortals. On the city walls, millions of citizens burst into shrill wails.
The fire grew more intense, and the sky above the entire city was burned red.
Su Ti smiled with a hint of pride: "Gu Peng, this is the end..."
Before he finished speaking, the flying hair all over the city suddenly stopped.
After a moment, the flames in the sky dimmed.
The terrifying hair that was entangled with the citizens fell down helplessly like a poisonous snake with seven inches cut off.
It then became fainter and more vague, and finally turned from a solid entity into a phantom, and finally disappeared.
This change was so sudden that it was beyond everyone's expectations.
Su Ti was stunned at first, then she shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! Impossible! How could this happen!"
For some reason, the cultivation in her body suddenly and madly disappeared like the tide.
She held her breath and concentrated her mind anxiously, trying to gather her demonic energy, but it was of no use. Her cultivation was still being lost at a faster rate.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Zhu Changyang in the distance: "Gu Peng, what did you do?"
Not only her, the entire live broadcast room was in a state of confusion.
[???What happened?]
[Look at Chang Yang, he seems to be reciting something! ]
[Ahhh! I know, Chang Yang must have obtained Gu Peng's supreme sword technique and restrained Su Ti at the critical moment! ]
[Ah! So cool! I knew Kunlun Swordsmanship was the best! ]
[Wow, wait for me to turn up the volume and appreciate it! ]
On the bluestone road, Zhu Changyang stood proudly, looking at Su Ti on the city wall from afar with a stern gaze.
He clenched his fists against his chest and muttered something.
As he spoke, Suti's cultivation rapidly dissipated.
Soon, the scattered hair disappeared, the evil spirit dissipated, and the girl's long hair fell down to her waist, returning to its former appearance, no longer condensed by the evil spirit that could kill people.
His cultivation was gone, and his shrill cries were no longer shocking.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally heard the formula that Zhu Changyang was reciting in excitement, and then slowly typed out a series of question marks.
[Did I hear it right? 'Consciousness determines matter, and the lone dandelion determines Suti', what kind of sword technique is this? ]
[This is a bullshit sword technique, this is philosophy! Good fellow, using idealism to deal with the boss! ]
[Oh shit, I understand. This Su Ti doesn't actually exist, but is a person in Gu Peng's memory. So theoretically speaking, as long as Gu Peng thinks she is strong, she is strong, and as long as Gu Peng thinks she is weak, she is weak. And now, Chang Yang is Gu Peng... ]
[Is this possible? ]
Ever since he entered the illusion of Sixiang City, Zhu Changyang had always had a vague idea in his mind, but he was always being pushed by Gu Peng's memory and had no time to think about it.
Until this moment, Jun Shu's words completely awakened that thought -
This illusion is Gu Peng’s memory, and all the people and things in it are constructed by the remaining cultivation after Gu Peng’s death.
So in fact, it was Gu Peng who determined the existence of all this.
The battle with Suti was probably a rare chess match between Gu Peng and others in his youth, and it left him with a deep psychological dilemma.
This kind of mental barrier was difficult to eliminate even after he achieved great success in Taoism. In his recollections, it even deepened the battle to a certain extent and magnified Su Ti's actual fighting power.
Jun Shu sensed this and knew that in Gu Peng's memory, he could only defeat Su Ti miserably but was never able to stop the massacre.
So Jun Shu wanted to dissuade Zhu Changyang from taking the risk.
It was precisely this sentence that reminded Zhu Changyang that since all this was decided by Gu Peng, and even because of Gu Peng's idea, Su Ti became stronger.
So, as long as Gu Peng feels that Su Ti is not actually that strong, will Su Ti become weaker
So, Zhu Changyang inherited Gu Peng's sword intent on the spot and transformed into Gu Peng himself.
And it can be done in one step. No matter whether Su Ti is strong or weak, he will be directly made to lose his cultivation.
Fortunately, Zhu Changyang attended classes seriously and had some understanding of the viewpoints of idealism.
Relying on strong philosophical logic and full trust in logic, I actually succeeded.
On the city wall, Su Ti was at a loss. She didn't know what had happened. She only knew that all her skills had been lost and she had failed utterly.
Zhu Changyang looked at her from afar, and suddenly felt his fingertips slightly hot. Gu Peng's cultivation was condensed again. He followed the guidance of the nameless one and hooked his two fingers.
The sword inserted in the bluestone slab suddenly flew up, and the rust-like ash on the sword body peeled off. The long sword burst into a dazzling light, carrying the supreme sword intent, and flew towards the sky above the city wall.
He went straight to Suti and chopped him down fiercely.
This time, Su Ti was too weak to hide anymore, nor did she plan to hide anymore. She smiled faintly, closed her eyes and raised her head, waiting for her own end.
But the sword intent did not arrive yet.
Su Ti was a little confused. He opened his eyes and found that the powerful sword was hovering an inch above his forehead.
Infinite sword intent loomed above, but never fell.
She looked at the bluestone road. Zhu Changyang had sweat on his forehead. He made a hand gesture and pointed upward, blocking the sword with force.
Su Ti frowned slightly, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Zhu Changyang sighed: "They are all innocent people."
Su Ti was a massacrer back then, but she was also a victim. In the end, she got what she wanted and died under the Gu Peng sword.
She is long gone, her story, her accomplishments, her mistakes are gone.
At this moment, she could no longer hurt anyone, so Zhu Changyang was unwilling to point the sword at her.
It doesn't make any sense anymore.
Su Ti suddenly realized, looked at the sword on her forehead, and smiled, saying, "You are not Gu Peng."
Zhu Changyang didn't understand why.
Su Ti did not explain. The blood color in her eyes faded and her pupils turned black again.
Then the whole person gradually faded until he disappeared.
After a while, the sound of metallic clanging was heard in the air, and with a long "clang", the long sword hovering in the air suddenly broke into countless fragments, and the fragments turned into powder.
The sword intent that Master Gu Peng left in the world just disappeared.
At the same time, fragmented fragments of memory emerged in Zhu Changyang's mind.
That was the childhood of Gu Peng and Su Ti. The two lived next to each other and were childhood sweethearts and very close.
One day, a wandering monk passed by Sixiang City and asked the two people for directions. Seeing that the two seemed to have a destiny to become immortals, he gave them a book on the basic method of cultivation.
The two of them then secretly practiced together according to the booklet, and thus began the journey of Qi training.
At the age of sixteen, Gu Peng realized the meaning of sword in the bamboo forest and decided to go to Kunlun, so he bid farewell to Su Ti.
Before leaving, Gu Peng gave Su Ti a rabbit he had shot.
After Gu Peng left, Su Ti's family cut open the rabbit and found that the rabbit had actually swallowed a piece of ancient jade in its stomach. Naturally, the jade was left to Su Ti.
A few years passed peacefully like this until the great demon Leopard Snipe escaped from the demon realm, and the peace of Sixiang City was broken.
After learning that the shrew wanted to forcefully marry the beauty in the city, Suti's parents wanted to send Suti away overnight. But before they could act, the city lord came to their house and forced Suti's parents to hand over Suti. Her parents refused, but were killed by the city lord.
At that time, Su Ti's cultivation was not high and she was unable to resist. She fainted from grief and when she woke up, she was already in the sedan chair.
The difference is that she has an extremely profound cultivation.
On the wedding night, she successfully bewitched the leopard sniper and took advantage of its unpreparedness to seriously injure it. Then, relying on her cultivation, she fought a fierce battle with the injured leopard sniper and narrowly defeated it.
Afterwards, she dug out the Leopard Demon Pill and swallowed it, becoming a demon. Her cultivation became very powerful, and she slaughtered the entire city of Sixiang in one fell swoop, until she was killed by Gu Peng's sword.
They had been childhood sweethearts and had many beautiful memories together. Su Ti would always follow behind him, calling him "Gu Peng" in a crisp voice.
Both of them were from poor families and had no abundant property. When they were about to leave, all Gu Peng could give her was a wild rabbit he had shot in the mountains.
They should have met again many years later, when Gu Peng's swordsmanship would have been perfected and Su Ti might have entered some immortal sect.
They could have remained good friends.
But fate plays tricks on us.
At this point, the past of a powerful generation has completely disappeared.
Zhu Changyang let out a long sigh, and the taut string in his heart relaxed. He felt his limbs go limp, and he slowly sat down on the ground.
Suddenly, I touched a fluffy object next to my hand. I turned my head and found that the rabbit that Suti had been holding had run over here without me noticing.
Zhu Changyang was slightly startled and subconsciously grabbed the rabbit's ears. Just as he was about to lift it up, his hands suddenly felt empty and the rabbit's flesh and skin disappeared, turning into a small skeleton that fell to the ground with a "clatter".
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Changyang would have been frightened, but he had been frightened enough today. He had seen the entire skeleton bride, so a set of rabbit bones was nothing.
He looked at the rabbit bones calmly and was about to open them when he suddenly found a small piece of white object in it that was not exactly the same as bones.
Zhu Changyang blinked and picked up the object. It was cold to the touch, but it was an ancient jade.
The ancient jade was only the size of a chicken heart and as smooth as mutton fat. It was exactly the piece that Su Ti had cut out from the rabbit's belly.
This piece of ancient jade was originally a very high-grade spiritual stone.
Su Ti's parents were killed by the city lord. In her grief, she accidentally opened the connection with this ancient jade. Her inexplicably powerful cultivation was the spiritual power injected into her by this ancient jade.
After her death, the ancient jade fell into Gu Peng's hands again.
Yin Kanwei used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and appeared beside them. He just happened to see Zhu Changyang picking up the ancient jade. He was slightly surprised and said, "It's a piece of Kunshan jade."
Kunshan Piece of Jade means a piece of jade from Kunlun Mountain, which is used to describe precious and rare things.
Zhu Changyang thought he was talking about an idiom and nodded: "It is indeed good jade."
"That's not what I meant." Yin Kanwei shook his head and explained, "This piece of jade was inlaid on the hilt of Gu Peng's Kunshan sword. It's called Kunshan Piece of Jade."
It turned out that Gu Peng's Kunshan sword was famous throughout the cultivation world. Not only was the sword itself powerful, but it was also inlaid with an extremely rare gem with extremely strong spiritual power. People at that time called it the Kunshan Piece of Jade.
For hundreds of years, countless monks have rushed to the secret realm of Gupeng in search of the Kunshan Sword.
Now it seems that the Kunshan Sword might have been shattered by the heavenly calamity along with Gu Peng, leaving only this piece of Kunshan jade.
Just as Yin Kanwei finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling sound all around him, and the entire illusion shook violently.
Zhu Changyang quickly held Jun Shu tightly, and said tiredly: "Why is there another earthquake? Are you going to continue nesting dolls?"
Yin Kanwei looked up and saw that the sky was breaking apart. He said, "It's not an earthquake. It's that the entire secret realm is about to collapse."
Then he looked down at Zhu Changyang and said, "What you are holding in your hand is the treasure of the realm of stability in the Solitary Peng Secret Realm."
The treasure of the stable state is the core treasure that maintains the entire secret realm. Once it is taken away, the secret realm will collapse.
"Really?" Zhu Changyang was a little surprised.
Before he came here, he had heard Hua Guangbai say how rare the treasure of the state of concentration in the Gupeng Secret Realm was. Even today, countless cultivators still rush here to look for this treasure.
Unexpectedly, he would get this treasure.
Yin Kanwei nodded: "Really."
Zhu Changyang gasped on the spot, "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and save my treasure!"
As he spoke, he gathered energy with his fingertips and hurriedly pointed to the small hill of broken swords and scrap metal in the middle of the road.
These are his most precious treasures, and he must get them all back before the secret realm completely collapses!
Fortunately, before the illusion completely disappeared, he was able to gather Gu Peng's cultivation and sword intent to fly the sword. Otherwise, he would not be able to use an electromagnet to suck it in time.
Yin Kanwei: “… ”
This was the first time he saw someone get the treasure that could stabilize the secret realm, but the first thing he thought of was a pile of scrap metal.
Very mysterious.
It's hard to guess.
