The hot air almost evaporated all the water on the person's face. Because of the heat, Mu Wan's face just felt sticky, but there was no sweaty feeling, as if the water had been deprived of it by the heat.
She clutched the handle of the umbrella, constantly swirling around the flames emerging around her. The fires seemed to be unable to burn her, but they were more scorching than ordinary fires, accompanied by a stinging contact and a persistent dull pain, as if she had been hit by a fire.
Rows of needles pricked and scratched, and the inside of her skin received another heavy hammer. She was completely unable to get close to Lord Xueyue. Even if she attacked him forcefully, there seemed to be an invisible barrier three feet away from him. Once she got close, she would feel a violent shock.
It hurt. I didn't know whether it was the extreme cold or the extreme heat that made me dizzy. Mu Wan had no doubt that if he could get closer, he would vaporize and devour everything that was too close to him in an instant.
She looked towards the place where Kapok sank - she wasn't sure if it was there. The heat wave distorted her vision, leaving her with no sense of direction. Not only Kapok, but also Yan Muxue and Qinggui, all of this seemed like yesterday.
There must be more people, more people killed by him and died because of him.
He must pay the price.
Supported by this indescribable belief, she waved the umbrella again and struck at the seemingly arrogant figure. But the umbrella penetrated his body, as if it had hit a ghost, and there was no resistance at all.
Lord Xueyue's shadow disappeared in a flash, and he suddenly clamped her wrist from behind, and his voice reached her ears earlier than the heat of the fire.
"Where are you fighting?"
She seemed to smell the vague fragrance of Qinglian Town.
There was no doubt that she would lose this arm, and she did not take any chances. The pain in her wrist almost made her pupils dilate, and the bones inside her were trembling. She tried to struggle, but gave up after only a little resistance.
That would only cause more damage. She saw that white smoke was coming out of the skin here.
"He's just a 'sinner'."
When she heard these two words, she realized that Lord Xueyue was too close. The skin on the back of her neck that was so close was burned by the lotus breath, which was more vivid than any firelight.
"ah!"
This was not her own voice - Mu Wan woke up a little when she heard Dai Luan's scream outside the fire wall. She had no time to analyze, because the reason suddenly appeared. Something broke through from the side, and she almost didn't realize that it was
A living person. There was no fire on that person, as if he had rushed through the rain curtain without standing on a drop of water. The power controlled by his hand disappeared, which was quite abrupt. The moment she turned around in panic, the whole fire around her
The curtain and the dome made of flames collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.
She and the master and apprentice outside saw this scene at the same time.
——Shi Wuqi’s arm penetrated Lord Xuanyue’s body. It was the real Hongxuan Changye, not some phantom. The location might be Dantian, or even higher up—it doesn’t matter, he did it. He passed through
The left hand of his body was completely red, and it was obviously covered with blood. Moreover, Shi Wuqi's gesture was to put his five fingers together, not a fist. He originally intended to do this, not just to knock him away.
.
Lord Xueyue did not expect this step, no.
A large amount of red blood spurted out from his mouth, and the wounds on his body were also bleeding outwards. That beautiful face was astonishing as no one had ever seen before. But it only stopped at being surprised. There was no trace of emotions such as pain and anger.
It has never appeared.
When Shi Wuqi took out his hand, he coughed twice and brought out a few more balls of blood. The fire around him became smaller, but it did not disappear completely. He staggered back a few steps, and no more blood spurted out from the wound.
After standing firm, he took a deep breath. Dai Luan wanted to run over, but Shan Hai held her back, and Shi Wu Qi also used his clean hands to stop him.
The maniacal laughter was unbelievable. Kuchtsuki-kun laughed for a long time, as if he was really as happy as the laughter. He laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He shook his head with a downcast face and clapped his hands. He looked like he was drunk.
Seems not awake.
"Awesome, Shopkeeper Shi!"
Probably tired of laughing, Kuchuzuki-kun clasped his hands together and ended the scene. He took a deep breath and said in a rather emotional tone:
"I thought that move would keep you unable to stand for at least three months, and you would slowly rot in the mud."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Shi Wuqi spread his hands and ignited two scorching fires, "But I have seen through your tricks. Since we are all frequent visitors to hell, we should not make things difficult for each other.
"
There was still blood hanging from the corner of Lord Xueyue's mouth. He wiped it away gently with the back of his hand without saying anything, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
At this time, a violent shaking feeling appeared again.
This was different from any previous feeling. It was as if the whole space was shaking. It might be obvious that the source of the earthquake was coming from the exact direction. Several people lost their balance and almost knelt on the ground. Lord Xueyue glanced at the source of the earthquake.
Suddenly, his feet left the ground and he was suspended in the air, staring at them. Looking at the blood hole on his body, it seemed that it had healed, or it might not have healed. The clothes had absorbed all the blood, and black lines flowed at the wound.
"Looks like it's too late. Let's meet again next time if we are destined to - if you are still alive. But before that, I want to... make some small commemorations."
Mu Wan instinctively became alert because she felt Lord Xueyue's eyes resting on her. He snapped his fingers, and the umbrella in his hand suddenly burned. The flame was black and red, and she had never seen it before.
A black outer flame, rather than bringing light, it seemed to take something away. The fire was too hot. Shi Wuqi snatched the umbrella off before she let go, but the flames were still spreading and were not affected by anyone.
Control. The place where it burned was empty. Just like that, in front of their four pairs of eyes, Ye Yinlu was swallowed up by the black fire, leaving no residue at all.
Shi Wuqi held the invisible object with his bare hands and clenched his hands slightly. When he confirmed that he really didn't feel anything, he felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. When they looked at Mu Wan again, they were speechless.
Her complexion turned pale, like snow, like clouds, like corpses.
It is not only an umbrella, but also includes all the contracts with shikigami. She has lost them forever, and they will be free, but correspondingly, this kind of passive and predatory loss must be fully accepted as a demon user.
.As Onmyoji, they know very well what this means - the backlash of the contract. More importantly, how will the Tengu judge the contract owner's dereliction of duty? Does this mean that, as an Onmyoji, she no longer has this bloodline?
Qualifications?
Will it destroy the "useless" her like the rumors say?
She didn't know that her mind was as pale as her face, as void as her expression, or even worse.
Lord Kutsutsuki was indeed satisfied with this result. It didn't matter whether the demon umbrella lost its demonic power or he used some new spell. He smiled happily. This result made him laugh more than before.
Even happier. Shi Wuqi stared at him, but he was indifferent. Only Shanhai patted him and Mu Wan on the shoulders at the same time, looked in the direction of the palace, his tone was a little complicated, and he just said three words briefly:
"He's coming."
He came with thousands of troops.
Looking around, the darkness was like locusts crossing the border. Even if they didn't see clearly what it was, they could guess it. And right here, in the palace, hands were constantly reaching out from the swamp. The skeleton soldiers here had no weapons.
And they were never willing to fight with these things. Some of them were not completely rotten, and they walked out burning through the layer of fire on the swamp.
But these are not enough to scare them. What is really frightening is that there is a huge outline in the direction of the middle palace, covering the sky and the sun - although there is no sun. It is like a mountain, extremely huge, even if it is far away
They couldn't see clearly, and the figure seemed a bit too big. And such a terrifying monster was slowly moving this way. It didn't move, seemed to have no legs, and wouldn't let go.
The ground trembled from time to time, but the continuous light shaking never stopped, and even intensified.
He just slowly, slowly approached here.
Continuous battles with no end in sight will only solidify the feeling of despair. They are already very tired and don't know what to do, but they are not willing to wait for death. Perhaps for Shanhai and Dai Luan, they must fight.
Shi Wuqi would rather choose to fight to death than wait for death, but Mu Wan... her reaction was unsettling.
"It's ready."
"You guys did a great job."
This was Kisaragi-kun's voice. She finally came here. And the first person to speak was not her, but someone they were familiar with and even comforted. Kisaragi-kun brought him here.
"It's all thanks to your hard work so far." The man said.
"Oh, isn't this...Master Sui Mulong?" The corners of Kuchuetsu-kun's lips curled up subtly, "It's been a long time since we last seen each other. Why, are you here to collect someone's body?"
"It's hard to say whose body to collect."
Jiyue Lord still put his hands in his sleeves, with black eyelids covering his eyes, walking steadily amidst the continuous tremors. His calmness had never made them feel so at ease today. However, Shanhai knew the strength of Lord Jiyue,
I don’t know how Mr. Jiyue can resist.
"Then you come to fight?" Lord Kutsutsuki said nonchalantly, "Are you going to use what Lord Kutsutsuki taught you to deal with Lord Kutsutsuki?"
"I don't want to deal with you either." He looked in his direction, "I just want to ask you a question."
"Perhaps I will answer you leniently."
"What are you planning?"
Lord Kutsutsuki probably didn't expect him to say that, and was briefly stunned. However, he quickly recovered his expression and asked:
"Tell me more details?"
"Do you hate human beings so much? Are you planning all this on purpose, in order to make the wild skeletons be dominated by resentment and fight wantonly in the world, or to use the will of all ghosts to lead all ghosts and kill the world?"
"Because it's interesting." He seemed to be telling the truth, "Everyone is a sinner and everyone deserves to die."
After saying that, Lord Xueyue's smile turned into a sneer again, even meaner and colder than before. He continued indifferently with a kind of indifference that seemed to see through the world:
"I know what you think of me - extremely hypocritical. But I am exactly what these humans are like, what everyone is like. The sins of thousands of years have been settling in hell, and I was lucky enough to participate in it. Thank you for letting me have a good time.
Now I'm bored. You can probably stop me, but whatever..."
He paused, and the brilliance in his eyes was as dazzling as the sun.
"One day, I will let the fire of punishment burn through every corner of the world and wash away every inch of luster and illusion. By then, the human world will no longer exist, and it will be purgatory."
Everyone was as silent as cicadas.
Mr. Jiyue probably got the answer he wanted, but it was not clear from his cold face whether he was satisfied or not. He shook his head slightly, and then nodded, as if he was denying something and agreeing with something at the same time.
"The situation in hell has made you extremely tired, so do you want to turn the six realms into a situation that you are tired of?"
"……snort."
Lord Xueyue just continued to sneer. He didn't want to talk any more, so he waved his hand suddenly and turned into a ball of lotus fire and disappeared into the air.
The Yin soldiers are getting closer, overwhelming and unstoppable.
"Don't be afraid, there are other ways."
Lord Jiyue said softly, and with the help of Lord Ruyue, he removed the piano wood from his back. He sat down cross-legged, placed the piano body across his knees, and took a gentle breath. Shanhai looked at the familiar figure
There is nothing on the piano.
Until Lord Jiyue stretched out his arms and fluttered his sleeves.
