Chapter 413
410. Demon
Xiaoyao's words officially sentenced the girl to death. She looked at Ma En's back calmly. For some reason, she didn't feel any panic or fear at this moment, as if she had already realized and accepted the outcome.
At this moment, she also felt the influence of her senior brothers and sisters more deeply on her. Now she was no longer the same person as she was a few days ago, but she didn't feel like she was being taken away from her at all.
In fact, this is closer to "growth" than direct "change", but I directly skip the time and experience needed for growth and directly borrow their advantages from others.
The fusion of the two senior brothers allowed her to understand early on that her end was already doomed, and the senior sister also gave her the courage to stand and face death and fear. This is why she is not panicking at all at this moment.
Moreover, the girl could clearly feel that her senior brothers and sisters were all behind her, so she tried to find a way to resist. The senior brother made her think that the way to survive was to kill Ma En, and the senior sister also gave her the determination to draw the sword.
But she is still herself - and it is precisely because of her role as senior brother and senior sister that she can firmly realize and truly understand this.
Ma En, who was standing in front of her, looked at Xiaoyao and asked:
"I can agree to cooperate with you, but based on what I know about you these days, you may not necessarily have to kill her to achieve your goal. Isn't there a gentler solution?"
Xiaoyao replied:
"Of course there is, but killing her is the simplest way. Other methods are more troublesome, and will also seriously delay your opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul."
What else does Marn want to say:
"But what if..."
Ma En looked at him and said:
"Have you decided?" Xiaoyao's expression was no longer peaceful, and he asked coldly, "You plan to use your own life to exchange for Guan Yi's chance to live."
She said with relief on her face.
The worst is death.
Ma En was a little surprised at the speed of his change of attitude, but he did not believe Xiaoyao's words. In his opinion, Xiaoyao's change of attitude was probably because his threat was indeed effective.
"You said that I don't have the qualifications to bargain, but it's different if we are negotiating with you. You can choose to let me use a gentler method to achieve your purpose, or...
Xiaoyao smiled when he saw Ma En turning around. Both he and Guan Yi saw that Ma En was still a little resistant to his suggestion that he kill this junior sister, but Xiaoyao knew that he didn't have to worry about this.
Guan Yi, who was standing behind him, also cast a death-defying look at Xiaoyao. She was also ready to die together with Ma En or to die alone. It seemed absolutely impossible for her to give in to herself.
"Answer me now, agree or refuse?"
"Both of us will die."
Xiaoyao, who was standing behind them, nodded with satisfaction. Even the unfinished secret technique had good effects. If it were Guan Yi in the past, she might have had similar thoughts, but she would never be able to say this.
Xiaoyao interrupted casually:
"I need you to break through to Nascent Soul within a short period of time, and you don't seem to have the qualifications to bargain with me on this matter now. For me to meet your request, it would be better to just switch to Guan Yi."
"Okay! Very good!
"I originally only expected a mortal from the barren world who could solve my problem for me, but I didn't expect that I met a genius with an almost perfect mind and bones. You already have the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul on your own.
Just when Ma En was waiting for him to fight back, Xiaoyao suddenly smiled:
But just when she and Xiaoyao thought Ma En had no choice, he first glanced sideways at Xiaoyao, and then said to the girl:
Although Ma En is a member of the Salvation Alliance, Xiaoyao never thought that this mortal from the Desolate Realm could really do such a noble act. If it were Shen Xiao, he might be able to understand it, but Ma En...
A warm current surged in Guan Yi's heart, but she still tried hard to break away from the emotional emotion temporarily and said in a very gentle voice:
"good."
The girl's eyes widened. She had never thought that she would hear Ma En say this. He could directly agree to Xiaoyao's request and survive safely. If he puts himself in his shoes, he might be able to do this.
He turned around and looked at the girl with a determined expression.
Before Ma En could say anything, a girl's voice came from behind him.
"Actually, I would not agree to your request, because I can also capture Guan Yi alive and use magic to directly break her determination to resist with you.
"Although her mind will be affected, it is better than a disobedient guy.
"Since you are no longer afraid of death, why not use your life to resist."
Then Ma En turned around and looked at Xiaoyao again:
"Everything is doomed, only one of you and I can survive.
"Go ahead, I know you are not the one who killed me."
This conversation made Xiaoyao a little stunned. Ma En's expression was calm to the point of being almost cold, which made Xiaoyao even doubt that he really didn't take his own life and death seriously.
"And we all know that you are the one who will survive. I know you still can't bear to attack me, but it's because of this that you deserve to survive. This is the best ending for us.
But Ma En is using his own life as a bargaining chip to try to save himself.
The girl shook her head slightly:
"It is impossible for us to resist Master. You have not seen Master's methods with your own eyes, but I know very well that no matter how hard we struggle, we cannot escape from his grasp. Master is also the best among Yuanying.
"Senior Brother Ma En..."
"No, I'm not exchanging my life for anything, I'm just asking that we all live.
Since Ma En had already risked his life to try to save her, she was not going to persuade Ma En to kill her again to survive on her own, but was determined to stand on the same front as him.
"It is your resistance that proves that you are of higher value than I expected. A puppet who is good at fighting cannot let me waste my precious time, but a future strong man who can become my right-hand man is worth my compromise."
At the same time, it may actually be because the impact of this concession on him is not as serious as what he just claimed.
The girl standing behind him also showed a surprised look.
All of this was seen by Xiaoyao. He could imagine how Ma En felt, but in fact he did not think that he was indeed admiring him. He did have some thoughts of truly accepting a disciple.
Because Ma En reminds him of his past self, and...
They are all demons.
I planned to wake up at eight o'clock, but ended up waking up at four o'clock. I think my schedule has been adjusted by half, I guess.
