"Ah, indeed," said Xing Jue, the commander of the Fourth Division of Chunyu, then he stood up with a long stick and grinned, "Although I also find immortality very attractive, but ...Compared to that kind of thing, I prefer the feeling of a big fight! And I'm getting excited! Although I feel very similar to that man (Xu), I can feel... You can make people fight interest of!"
As Jiang Cheng walked, he said slowly: "I am very powerful, but compared to me, you are very weak. There is no suspense in this battle. What is the point of such a battle?"
Listening to Jiang Cheng's flat tone, Xing Jue was not angry and replied with a smile: "Yes! It is a man's romance to be able to fight such a powerful opponent until the last moment! I hate group activities and so on, but single combat I still like it! Come on!"
"No, death is..." As he spoke, Jiang Cheng had already arrived behind Xing Jue. The sword at his waist was unsheathed and unsheathed at some point, "...it's meaningless."
After being stunned for a while, Xingjue came back to his senses, lowered his head and glanced at his chest.
laugh!
The moment a large amount of blood burst out, Xing Jue also slowly fell to the ground.
thump!
"... It's... really powerful. Chun Yu's three evil stars were all defeated by the same person."
…
Da da da…
In the empty corridor, Jiang Cheng walked slowly, and there was no sound except Jiang Cheng's footsteps.
Behind the metal door not far in front of Jiang Cheng is Jiang Cheng's end point—and the end point of everything.
Behind Jiang Cheng was the last group of crows headed by Coffin, who were lying lifeless in a pool of blood. It was they and the elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect who helped Xu defect.
"That adult... I leave it to you."
These were the last words that just coffin said to Jiang Cheng.
A man with long hair was standing behind the door, with an uncertain expression on his face.
I can't remember, who is this man who always feels so familiar? Why can't I remember it? Who is this man who can easily suppress himself? !
Xu was depressed, and his expression showed a bit of panic. Who was this man who easily suppressed himself after entering the Tiandaozong and easily obtained what he wanted most - keys and rights? !
Why is there always a touch of sadness and relief in my heart? Why exactly
Swish, brush, brush!
boom! !
After several rays of sword light flashed on the thick metal door, the metal door collapsed. On both sides of the ruins, Jiang Cheng and Xu Ye were finally able to meet face to face.
"Long time no see, what's wrong with your expression?"
Jiang Cheng was the first to speak.
"Who...are you?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Jiang Cheng said, taking off his mask, "Can't you even remember the faces of your students?"
"Students? Songyang is the only one with students... No! My memory doesn't..."
"Don't you understand? Why is there no me in your memory? Why do you always feel a sense of familiarity when searching through your memories but can't find anything? That's because the existence that should have been killed by you is still fighting in your body. Don't you think so? Haven’t you noticed yet? The fact that Songyang is still fighting against himself in your body.”
"No, it's impossible!" Xu's eyes widened, "Songyang has already..."
"My name is Jiang Cheng, the... Xu that Songyang left outside his body. The last Xu."
"What are you talking about..."
"Teacher, that's enough. It will all be over."
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Xu suddenly felt relieved. At the same time, some memories that had been tampered with and distorted by one of his own personalities were restored and flooded into his mind in an instant!
That day, the rainy day, the little devil holding an umbrella, the things inside his body...
…
"So, you are the existence that Songyang was hiding until the end, the same existence as me... And what he hid was also a way for me to easily end myself."
"That's right."
"Dragon Vein... Core. That can end me."
"Yes," Jiang Cheng replied softly, "but it's too late. The dragon vein core that can end your immortality in the simplest and most trouble-free way... has been contaminated by me."
"Are you... here to bring me closure?"
"Probably, I only know that I am the thing you are missing, the opposite of you who created countless personalities and killed them one by one in order to bring about the end. I am not a teacher, but someone who can happily accept including you. The emptiness of all personalities. You don’t have that kind of thing, but Songyang has cultivated that kind of thing... Just outside your body, it’s me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed a flash of sword light in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued: "It's useless, you can't suppress me. Hasn't it been many times? I thought you had already You understand this kind of thing.”
While speaking, the wound on Jiang Cheng's chest that Xu had slashed in an instant quickly healed.
Seeing this, Xu seemed a little unwilling to give up. He slashed a few more times and stabbed the knife straight into Jiang Cheng's chest.
"I said it's useless, and you should know that you can't kill me. I'm different from Song Yang, and I'm different from the countless fragments you created."
Swish, brush, brush! !
Xu kept slashing and stabbing at very fast speeds. Jiang Cheng did not fight back, but let Xu leave wounds on his body without any change in his expression.
Useless! Useless! No matter how you cut it, it’s useless! There was a bit of panic on Xu's face. Could it be that... was it really the same as what he said
Not only is Songyang still living in his body, but is he also his last personality that can bear everything as he said? !
"Void, it's over. The war you wanted is over, and all the factors you spread have disappeared. Your enemy... there is only one self (me) that you absolutely cannot defeat. On Earth Altana has also been contaminated by me..."
Jiang Cheng didn't care at all that Xu kept leaving wounds on his body, peeling away flesh, or the sword that penetrated his body. He raised his feet and approached Xu step by step, and Xu's expression gradually became frightened. , stepped back step by step, the sword in his hand was unknowingly in a panic.
It was the first time that Xu had this feeling. The man in front of him... seemed to be unable to defeat him no matter what. He was standing in front of him. He was like... another version of himself that he had never been aware of!
Jiang Cheng, whose body continued to recover, said calmly: "Because I can bear all Xu, so your hatred, sin, pain, sadness, timidity, fear, loneliness, desire...all of them, I will accept. Xu. , it’s over, now I can vent to my heart’s content.”
Xu's eyes widened, his pupils trembled, and the knife in his hand was trembling slightly: "Don't...don't...it shouldn't be like this, the ending I expect is not like this..."
Jiang Cheng smiled softly and said: "Xu, actually teacher, he also wants to talk to you and tell you that some sins have been forgiven before they are committed...
Then, all the hard work...
So do you, and so does the teacher.
And so are your countless selves.
It's all over. Although it's not the end you expected, nor the end Songyang wanted, it's the end. "
With that said, Jiang Cheng finally took action, and his clenched right hand instantly inserted into Xu's chest. At the same time, his left hand grabbed one of Xu's shoulders and pulled him forward.
The sword in Xu's hand was inserted straight into Jiang Cheng's chest due to inertia, and Xu was also hugged by Jiang Cheng in a daze.
"Look, it's... over." Jiang Cheng said softly.
Hearing the sound, Xu Xu suddenly noticed something and looked back in horror. He saw countless Xus created by himself standing next to him, and Songyang was among them, with his hands in his sleeves and a soft expression on his face. Looking at myself.
It turns out... the end I thought was not the end, Songyang, it turns out it's not you...
"How about it? Me... no, all of us, including you, this outstanding disciple who surpasses all of us?"
Songyang's voice rang in Xu's ears.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's expression that always looked like Song Yang but was obviously different, Xu was stunned for a long time, and the countless Xu figures around him were also watching Jiang Cheng quietly, one by one. The crowds dispersed.
It wasn't like he had killed them one by one, nor was it like Song Yang forcibly suppressing them, but it was completely and completely dissipated. However, after each of their personalities disappeared, there was something left behind to fill it. The heart that I thought I didn’t have.
In the end, only Songyang and himself were left.
"Ah... I feel powerful and warm that I have never felt before, Songyang. It's not the end of coldness, but the end of this feeling I've never had before? It doesn't feel bad."
As he spoke, Xu suddenly felt something rolling down his face, and raised his hand to touch a handful of the transparent liquid that overflowed from his eyes.
"What's this?"
"Tears." Jiang Cheng took out his hand and helped Xu sit on the ground.
"Tears... why would I..."
"Who knows? Maybe it's because you have a personality that makes you cry easily."
"This is..." Looking at his slowly closing chest, Xu whispered, "What?"
"The human... heart."
"Why... do I have a human heart?"
"Not just the heart, you'll have a human name."
"I hate... human beings." Xu's voice became weaker and weaker, "Stupid, weak, cruel, ugly, repeated mistakes continue to create a lot of tragedies, creatures that are afraid of me. I hate... What does this feel like? These new people who are pouring in Things, fears, longings...are these all me?"
"Ah, it's all yours, it's what they left for you."
"Have you ever been like this?"
"I don't know, but maybe it is. I have no memory before the current name Jiang Cheng, and I don't know if there was another name before this name."
"Don't you want to...save Songyang?"
"Aren't they all the same? He would probably say "already saved." "
"Ah... indeed."
"After venting, just take a good rest. It's all over. Good night..."
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Xu also slowly closed his eyes.
…
Jiang Cheng, who was holding on to the wall and barely standing still, took one last look at Xu, who was sleeping on the floor behind him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a bit of relief. Then he raised his feet and stepped out.
The completely exhausted core told Jiang Cheng that he was about to meet his final end.
Everything that should be done, can be done, and wanted to be done has been accomplished, and finally...
