Chapter 714 The end of the dream, the return of the strong (Part 2)
Feeling the vast fluctuations that were constantly erupting from "Dilens", Lei Xiao's heart suddenly fell to the cold bottom. That was the terrifying energy that could only be emitted by a fifth-level powerhouse.
"Your Excellency, Guest, the "Nightmare Spirit" is in the process of promotion, and it will truly reach the fifth level soon! By then, you, me, and the knotweed will definitely die!"
Jin Wen's urgent and panicked voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "I will try to slow down the speed of his promotion as much as possible. At this time, be sure to successfully awaken the knotweed. Everything depends on you!
"
After finishing speaking, Jin Wen's slender body also burst out with a decent amount of light cyan energy, which then turned into energy chains, tying up "Dilens" who was in the process of promotion.
However, judging from the way the energy chain trembled crazily as soon as it approached "Dylans", it was obvious that it couldn't hold on for too long.
As for the other dog-legged phantoms, they seemed to be frozen during the promotion process of "Dylans", with ferocious expressions on their faces and motionless, so naturally they were not to be feared.
"Understood!"
Lei Xiao nodded towards Jinwen and flew in front of Huzhang.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
Even though the dark green energy shackles that tied the knotweed body no longer existed, the knotweed was still half-kneeling on the ground, with a sluggish and decadent look on its face.
"Potgonium cuspidatum, wake up!"
Lei Xiao shook Huzhang's shoulders and shouted loudly: "The time left for us is running out!"
"Well?"
Huzhang first glanced at Lei Xiao with a dull look on his face, then lowered his head and kept muttering to himself: "Guardian has no meaning, and everything I have done has no meaning. In the end,
Nothing can be protected, nothing can be accomplished..."
"Knotweed, look at me and listen to me!"
Lei Xiao straightened Hezhuang's head again, looked directly into the opponent's soulless eyes and shouted: "Everything you have done is of course meaningful. If it hadn't been for You's appearance, I would have died not long after I arrived, no matter it was
Those half-orcs, the former Kongqing City Lord, and even ordinary low-level monsters are enough to kill me easily."
"Without you, how could we have saved Bai Zhi, Chuan Gu and other half-elves? How could we have saved Bai Wei, Shi Feng and other Snow Wolf clans? How could we have defeated the Holy Night Army and avoided a catastrophe? How could we have helped Ariel?
To realize the dream of all people living and working in peace and contentment?”
"The most important thing is, without you, how would I have the confidence to pursue the sea of stars in this world? To explore the many unsolved mysteries of this world?"
Lei Xiao's voice began to become more determined, and he looked directly into Hu Zhi's eyes and said: "Without you, not only me, but also more innocent lives would have fallen to power and hunting knives. All of this,
Isn’t that the meaning of your existence?”
"I need you, the territory needs you, everyone needs you!"
There was an extra urgency in Lei Xiao's voice, and he continued: "I have not yet fulfilled my promise to hand over an army to your command, nor have I allowed you to use better weapons, so I hope that
You can keep walking with me and give me the opportunity to realize all of this!"
"Are you... Lord?"
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in Huzhang's dull eyes.
Then it quickly dimmed, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "But Dylans is right. The Guardian family where his subordinates belong did not protect everything they were supposed to protect in the end. Since the result is destined to be the subversion of royal power.
, the evil dragon is in power, what are the countless ancestors of my subordinates, and even my father, fighting desperately for? And what is the meaning of their existence?"
"Potgonium cuspidatum, your family certainly has a meaning, and it is of great significance."
Lei Xiao's face was solemn and he said seriously: "Because they have protected the present, the current kingdom, the current people, their own glory, and the family's honor. It is all of this that has resulted in countless sacrifices."
The happy smiles and longing for the future are of such great significance, how can they be erased so lightly?"
"But in the end we lost everything! Even the people we once protected looked down upon us!"
The voice of the knotweed began to become hysterical, and he roared: "Even my subordinate's father was shattered into pieces in the end. If this is the meaning of guardianship, then I would rather not be this kind of guardian!"
"Polygonum cuspidatum, you are wrong. Nothing can always be smooth sailing. Just like no matter how calm and peaceful the sea is, there will always be rough waves. This is the law of nature and no one can violate it."
Lei Xiao's voice was calm, but revealed an unquestionable determination, and he said solemnly: "The guardian family you belong to has only temporarily lost its glory, and the people who have been blinded will one day wake up.
"
"Knotweed, please remember that the moment is not eternal, and it will never be. Just like the storm, no matter how crazy it rages, will eventually be greeted by clear skies."
Lei Xiao's voice began to get louder and louder, encouraging: "So, what you have to do is not to give up, but to make yourself stronger, stronger than any enemy. Only in this way can you take back everything you have lost!
"
"Only in this way can the sacrifices of your countless ancestors become meaningful again, instead of being a complete joke!"
Hearing Lei Xiao say this, Polygonum Zhiyi's decadent expression finally changed.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but soon he showed a look of pain, hugged his head tightly, and kept moaning.
"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, it is the illusion that is still affecting the knotweed's thoughts!"
Not far away, Jin Wen's clear and somewhat painful sound reached Lei Xiao's ears.
Following the sound, Lei Xiao noticed.
The light cyan energy chain tied to "Dilens" by Jin Wen has become more and more illusory, but the vast aura erupted by "Dilens" has become more and more powerful, and it seems that it can break through Jin Wen's blockade at any time.
I saw the pale Jin Wen gritting her silver teeth and squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth: "Your Excellency, please try harder. The knotweed's mind has relaxed, and I can hold on for a while longer...
"
However, judging from his extremely strong expression, he was already at the end of his strength.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao first nodded towards Jin Wen, and his expression began to become more solemn.
It is conceivable that if "Dylans" breaks through the shackles of the brocade pattern without awakening the knotweed, the result will undoubtedly be disastrous.
In other words, the time left for yourself is extremely limited.
But the good news is that after a series of words he said before, Polygonum cuspidatum has become better than the initial confusion.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned back to the burly man with a pained expression on his face and said seriously: "Huzhang, you once said that your father's creed is "No matter how powerful the enemy is, he will eventually be defeated," right?"
At this moment, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
As the saying goes, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell. It is not difficult to see through the previous illusion.
"Dylans" took advantage of this point to make sophistry, which caused the psychological defense of knotweed to completely collapse.
After all, the dragon-slayer father of Polygonum cuspidatum is the person whom Polygonum cuspidatum has the most respect and reverence. To deny the father of Polygonum cuspidatum is to deny everything about Polygonum cuspidatum.
And if he can also pass this point and let Knotweed understand that his father is not what "Dylans" said, but a true hero, maybe everything can be solved.
"Lord, you are right."
Hearing Lei Xiao's call, Hu Zhi gathered his energy, straightened his burly body again, nodded reluctantly and said: "But my father did not realize this creed until his death. Maybe it was just like what Dylans said.
Like, that’s just a loser’s self-comfort, it has no meaning at all.”
"Japanese knotweed, you are wrong again. Of course it is meaningful, because this sentence contains unparalleled courage and vision for the future, which is everyone's most precious wealth."
Facing "Dylans" who could break through the restraints at any time, although Lei Xiao felt like an ant on a hot pot, his face remained gentle and he smiled at the burly man in front of him.
"Polygonum cuspidatum, if you think about it carefully, even though your father has gone from being a guardian respected by everyone to being the target of criticism, he still fulfills his duty as a guardian as always. This kind of determination that he has not forgotten his original intention despite all the hardships.
Faith, how many people can do it?”
"For the glory of the Guardian family and for countless ancestors, the bloody battle was not in vain. Your father was actually fighting against "no matter how powerful the enemy" in the creed every moment, and the enemy he fought for was none other than someone else.
None other than your father himself."
"It is this kind of constant struggle to break through yourself that allows your father to continue unswervingly and tell everyone with his actions that even though the family is in decline and people are blinded, he can
It still hasn’t tarnished the family’s coat of arms, and it still hasn’t tarnished the mottos of our ancestors.”
"He understands that he is a guardian. He fights for the kingdom and the people of Li, even though the kingdom has lost its former glory."
Lei Xiao's voice was gentle and his eyes were bright: "Thus, your father has defeated himself countless times in adversity, so how can he be a loser? On the contrary, he is a winner worthy of respect, and he is enough to win
Respect from everyone, including me.”
"It's actually like this..."
Huzhang was stunned for a moment, and the pained expression on his face gradually eased, and he asked again: "But he can't change anything by himself, so why do he have to go to this extent?"
"It's simple, because your father believes in hope and believes that no matter how dark the night is, there will always be a moment of dawn."
Lei Xiao nodded to the knotweed and said seriously: "At the same time, your father is also telling you with practical actions, never give up under any circumstances, just like he has always insisted."
After a pause, Lei Xiao asked again: "Huzhang, your father never gave up in so many desperate situations, and you only experienced one desperate situation, do you have to give up easily? Do you want to live up to your father's treatment of you?"
expectations?”
"No, I will never give up! I will never let down my father's expectations!"
The knotweed roared from its chest, and its body, curled up in pain, stood upright again.
However, in just a moment, with the crisp sound of the chain breaking not far away, the originally firm expression of the knotweed became distorted due to pain, and he fell heavily to the ground.
At the same time, a vast energy fluctuation suddenly swept out, and the extremely strong wind even made Lei Xiao, who was caught off guard, stagger involuntarily.
Looking back suddenly, Lei Xiao noticed in surprise.
Not far away, Jinwen collapsed to the ground with a pale face, while "Dylans" was slowly walking towards him with a long sword in his hand.
He could see murderous aura emanating from his body, and his dark green eyes were flashing with scarlet brilliance. Judging from the vast aura, it was obvious that he had successfully advanced to the fifth level.
"My lord has just said that everything is in vain."
A joking voice sounded, and the tip of the sword in "Dylans"'s hand pointed directly at Lei Xiao's neck, and said coldly: "Then let's start with your trouble."
After finishing speaking, "Dilens" immediately turned into a phantom and shot toward Lei Xiao.
Because all this happened between lightning and flint, Lei Xiao didn't even have time to activate the defensive magic scroll. The opponent's sharp sword edge, carrying the power of boiling murderous intent, seemed to be only one step away!
"If you want to take action against the lord, you must first ask my sword master if he agrees!"
At this critical moment, an angry roar sounded, and an extremely tall figure protected Lei Xiao in front of him with the force of thunder and wind.
boom!
There was a deafening loud noise, and as the vast energy collided crazily, the menacing "Dylans" was immediately knocked away.
"Brilliant Sky-Splitting Slash!"
With a loud shout, the burly figure standing in front of Lei Xiao immediately pursued him.
The two-handed giant sword he clenched tightly in his hand swung out a half-moon that was enough to cut through the sky, directly in mid-air, cutting the unprepared "Dylans" into two pieces.
At the same time that the remaining body of "Dylans" turned into little blue energy particles, it disappeared.
The burly figure had already landed easily and flashed back in front of Lei Xiao, who was still a little frightened.
Needless to say, this person has naturally completely escaped from the knotweed in the "Dream Devouring Realm".
"I'm sorry, Lord, I frightened you."
Seeing that the tiger stick had returned to its normal appearance, he knelt down on one knee and said to Lei Xiao, "It's all because of my subordinate's negligence that I fell into the opponent's illusion trap."
Having said this, a trace of uncontrollable gratitude appeared on the rough face of the knotweed again, and he added: "Thank you Lord, regardless of your own safety, for saving your subordinates from the illusion! If it weren't for the motto of the Lord just now,
, I’m afraid this subordinate has completely sunk into that never-ending nightmare.”
"Didn't you also save my life? Even though you have stopped countless blades for me before."
Lei Xiao, who had recovered from the shock, smiled lightly and nodded in response.
After a pause, Lei Xiao seemed to feel something, and he was surprised and said: "Polygonum cuspidatum, your strength has improved?"
