Could it be that the figure that suddenly appeared in the underground palace and walked surrounded by skeletons was the lie himself?
The four of them couldn't figure out why he appeared here. Wasn't he... blocked by the two six-path impermanence? But as he got closer, they could see more and more clearly that it was Jie Mei.
Wrong. There was no aura of Lord Kannau and Lord Shuangyue around, and they did not pursue them. Xie Zhe and the others believed that these two people could never be defeated. He must have left the Nightmare Dog there while he escaped. That must be the case.
...otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
"Tsk, are you using shikigami as a shield again?" Han Chang drew his sword and said, "It's so shameless!"
"Then you must be very talented if you have the courage to face me directly."
Zhen stepped forward, put a finger into the gauze on his face, and adjusted it casually. It must have been tight for a long time. Xie Zhe also slowly drew out his sword, not intending to be polite to him. But they were already fighting.
I haven't rested or eaten anything all day long. I'm really exhausted. I'm feeling so overwhelmed.
When emotions dominate, sleepiness and hunger may be temporarily forgotten, but it may not be reflected in the actual battle. If a fight really breaks out, they will definitely notice that their reactions and judgments are not as good as before. In fact, several of them are very worried.
Be clear and don't have a head-on conflict with him unless absolutely necessary.
What's more, Han Zang, who is the most capable fighter at the moment, has not completely recovered. The magic circle has absorbed too much demonic power from him, and even with Shiranui's help, he will still need to recover for a long time. Zhen looked relaxed and did not want to fight. He walked to the stone wall,
He glanced up lazily.
"So, now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?"
Although Wenying was a little nervous, her resentment towards the monster had always prevailed for some reason. Her legs could not stop shaking, but she never intended to admit defeat in terms of momentum.
"Of course it's to thwart your plot! You're a bastard who does all kinds of evil, there's no way your plot will succeed!"
"Very good. So what do you want to do?"
"Of course, yes..." Wenying's voice weakened, "Yes, uh, um... I need to destroy this place first, and then - um... it would be best if I could just end it with you.
It’s over!”
"...Pfft. Hahaha, hahahaha——"
Zhen laughed suddenly, which was really rare. The laughter came from the heart. He seemed to have spent a lot of effort to suppress his voice to prevent him from laughing too unrestrainedly and too loudly in this underground palace.
He restrained himself for a while, finally stood up straight again, and reached out to wipe away a tear that overflowed from the corner of his eye.
"What a funny little guy."
"you--"
Wenying was laughed at, no doubt. It was difficult to detect her red face in the dim light, but it was not because of shame, but because of anger. Of course Han Yang knew what kind of teasing this innocent statement would cause, but
His long sword still ignited a blazing fire, as if to demonstrate. Of course, this consumed some of his demon power, and it was originally a very easy thing.
"Sounds like a good idea. Indeed, as long as you destroy me, you can destroy my... um, conspiracy? That's what you say? Since you say so, I'm afraid it's because you don't know what the so-called conspiracy itself is.
What is it?"
Yes, they don't know. Even though Han Chang sacrificed himself at such a high price, Xie Zhe also made the most reliable analysis he could, but they had no way of knowing the ultimate purpose of this evil envoy.
Xie Zhe could only say this: "According to our inference, in fact, the completeness of the underground palace is no longer important to you now. You have enough time to imitate the cat and learn the essence of the magic circle.
There should be a lot of complete pictures of the formation.
Codices, you even have enough time, resources and experimental subjects to study more similar formations. As for the uses, there are too many. The most important thing for you should be to use it to create more similar formations.
What a shikigami that suits your wishes."
"Most of what you said is right." Huayu chuckled, "I don't have any other pursuits. Money can be squandered after all. No matter how much you earn, there is always a way to spend it. Human beings are like that
A creature that takes money and always consumes at the ceiling of its own ability, so no amount is enough. Isn’t there an idiom that says, “It’s hard to satisfy your desires?”
"How dare you say that." Han Chang mocked, "I think your ambition is not small."
"It depends on your definition of ambition. As for reputation, I don't value it very much. Anyway, in the eyes of you so-called famous and upright people, Wuyongshi's bad reputation has long been irreversible. I am not great enough to produce anything...
...the sense of mission to revive the family’s reputation. Rather, the Wuyong family relied on the viciousness you mentioned to make their fortune."
Wenying said angrily: "You must be pursuing supreme power! That's why you need a powerful shikigami to help you."
"Haha...power is not a very attractive thing to me. Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers are on the shore of the land. No matter how much power you have in your hands, can you still climb to the head of the emperor?
I am not that kind of layman, and I have no interest in subverting the political power. The emperor has too many things to take care of, but Wu Yongshi alone gives me a headache and I am too busy."
"It's definitely not feelings," Jiao Mo looked at him fiercely, "You don't even need friends, you just need useful tools. You have walked a lonely road, a dead end. Family affection, love,
You don’t care about friendship! When necessary, they can even be your bargaining chip, because you don’t know what love is! The love of family members, the love of the opposite sex, the love of the same race... these precious things are all in your eyes
It’s something that can be trampled on easily!”
Jiaomo was certainly qualified to give such a reprimand. She had just recovered from the tragic death of her kinsmen. However, Lianyu did not look at her. He just moved his eyes between the bones and raised the corners of his mouth frivolously.
"You are exaggerating. They... are not enough to be used as bargaining chips, and have no value on the table. They may even only be in the way."
"So you can abandon or even destroy the happiness in the hands of others at will! If you are jealous of the love that you never have, I will not forgive you, but I can understand you. But you are just a cold-blooded evil ghost from the beginning to the end——
From birth!”
"Yeah." He nodded indifferently.
Xie Zhe just listened and watched silently before. Now, his hand holding the sword is not very strong, but his mind is cautious. After listening to these conversations, he also came to his own conclusion.
"He just wants power."
"That's it?"
Even so, a glimmer of light flashed through Zhen's only remaining eye, as if a candle flame from a long-lasting lamp was swaying inside.
"That's all." Xie Zhe said, "This is my judgment."
"Ahh..."
Zhen let out a long sigh. He stretched out a hand, with clear muscles and bones under the skin. This hand pressed hard on his face, as if trying to peel off a layer of mask stuck to his face, regardless of the original
Will some parts be destroyed and become bloody and bloody? The sight of his one eye is as sharp as a knife and as cunning as a snake. This sight passes between his fingers and goes straight to Xie Zhe's eyes.
"Yes, that's right - what a genius. How did you come to such a conclusion? I'm curious."
Xie Zhe took a deep breath. It was undeniable that the look in the eyes of the evil messenger of lies made him a little scared. He was rarely afraid of real things, but this kind of illusory thing made him rarely at a loss. He
I couldn't help but clenched my sword tightly, trying to draw courage from it.
Qi. He began to understand that Mutsuki-kun knew him, so he passed on this divine sword to him. He firmly believed that all tangible things that could be seen and touched in the world could be cut off. Only in this way
The intangible things need to be pierced by the Wind and Cloud Slash.
Xie Zhe calmed down again. Whether it was a question, a question or an interrogation, he would always give his own answer.
"Because you're crazy."
Han Zhang was a little surprised, and Jiao Mo and Wenying also looked at him. He had never said this before, but he said it behind his back, and the nature was different from pointing his nose in front of his face and scolding him. Wouldn't this anger him? Even
He has shown signs of emotional ups and downs, which is not uncommon. If he really goes crazy, the four tired people now, no matter how they join forces or how tacit understanding they have, will be hard to match.
"Say a few more words, I'd love to hear them."
Xie Zhe opened his mouth slightly and froze for a while before continuing:
"You are a lunatic, the kind who uses whatever means necessary. But your goal has never been to achieve anything, but...to obtain the power itself. A cunning strategy, unparalleled martial arts, and unnatural courage...
Even the wisdom of creating shikigami, inventing utensils, and studying spells is a form of power in your eyes. There is absolutely no upper limit to power itself, it will only be constantly broken through, whether by others or yourself.
.This reminds me of Mr. Shuangyue in the past, but he put all his energy on the ultimate martial arts, which is relatively simple compared to you. You are not fighting for the Wuyong family, but for yourself. It can even be said that
, you are using your own power to drive the prosperity of the entire family, and naturally there are many people who are hungry for power who are willing to follow your glory. Even if this kind of glory is a lingering shadow in the eyes of others, you don't care."
"I don't care," he repeated.
"I have said it to my friends... and now I can say it again in front of you: you are a madman, a sober madman. And this kind of sober madman is extremely terrifying. You know very well what you are doing and what you are pursuing; because
What makes you calm, and what makes you boil. Maybe deep down in your heart, you long for someone who can be your enemy. That person may not have the same extreme and crazy ideas as you, but he must have some similarity with you.
place."
Wenying suddenly felt confused. She said to Xie Zhe, "Isn't Shen Wujun his opponent?"
"No... Judging from the way he only avoids fighting, you should be able to tell that he does not regard Kanna-kun as a real opponent. Perhaps he does not deny Kanna-kun's attainments in martial arts and onmyoji, but
His attitude in dealing with things has always been simple and rough, and he has never had any strategy. Rather, the lack of strategy is his strategy."
"I definitely don't like to be on an equal footing with such a devoid of elegance..." Chen raised his chin and said quietly.
Jiao Mo seemed to understand something: "Shen Wujun has always been like this. What's more, he is unpredictable. From the beginning, he was destined to have no common ground with the evil angel in terms of stance - they have never been of the same world."
Zhen tilted his head, his eyes never leaving Xie Zhe's body. I don't know when, but Xie Zhe began to feel that his originally cold gaze became too hot.
"However, it seems that you didn't even notice it yourself... Should I say it's a coincidence or a coincidence, a blessing or a misfortune?"
