Chapter three hundred and sixty-four: long-term planning
Metal collided and clashed with metal, making a harsh sound.
"Is that so..."
The new round ended. During a slight break, Chenxing adjusted the posture of holding the knife and murmured to himself.
"What did you understand? Tell me."
Her opponent is a guy who is unimaginable to ordinary people, but feels reasonable after learning about it. He is standing on a high branch, checking the blade easily. There is not a single leaf on this tree, and the branches are twisted.
Baring his teeth and dancing his claws, there was light snow falling in the sky, and the branches were already covered with a thin layer of white. When he landed on it, not a single snowflake was stirred up.
"It's impossible to determine whether this plant is poisonous or whether its poison is harmful to people... uprooting it before it blooms and leaves. It seems to be a less common but reasonable way of doing it.
.”
"Yes. But I have to clarify...this is my personal move? Well, it is."
Lord Kutsutsuki's fingers brushed across the blade of the sword, and the double-edged sword, as thin as a cicada's wings, glowed with a cold light. This light was clearly red, but it made people feel extremely cold, which was somewhat consistent with such a silent snowy environment.
Chenxing stood up straight and looked at him calmly.
"You can guess it. Among the Six Paths of Impermanence, everyone is... a good person who is kind to a bit disgusting. You are the only monster who is out of place. You must have learned about some people's plans from some channel, and then came directly to me.
.”
"You are indeed a person who has lived for hundreds of years. He has a longer lifespan than some monsters and a smarter brain. In addition, your skills are really good. It is really not a fluke that you can live to this day. But there is one thing you said, I am very
Agreed - indeed, they are a group of good people who are so kind that it’s a bit disgusting. That’s why I can’t get along with them.”
"Solving the problem is just... your cover." Chenxing commented, "I know what you want."
"Then why don't you just give it to me?"
"What's the purpose?"
"If I tell you, will you hand that thing over to me honestly?"
"war."
Chenxing's answer was crisp and clear, and Lord Xueyue didn't hesitate for a moment. He jumped down from the branch, and the force of the moment shook the snow on the entire tree. The snowflakes were flying in succession, like silver covering the tree.
The veil was lifted. In front of the white background, the red shadow stabbed at Chen Xing like lightning. She raised the knife in front of her and withstood the blow firmly.
After several back and forths, Chenxing has clearly realized that Lord Xueyue is fighting in a way that causes the greatest wear and tear on the weapons. It is not difficult to explain. How can a monster solve the problem in the way of a knight-errant?
Unless doing so is the most effective means to achieve the goal. However, Chenxing is not worried about the duel between magic and magic.
The ring-shou sword made of copper is really not suitable for fighting. It was originally made as a sacrificial weapon. Although she coated the blade with mana, Kuchtsuki-kun's fighting methods have been breaking her. This seems to be
It is a duel between cold weapons, and its core and essence is a battle of tactics.
"According to some information... I know that your sword is very special." Lord Kutsutsuki's eyes were as hot as the fire of winter. His eyes were always fixed on the blade of Chenxing, and he never left it for a moment. "It continues to absorb power.
, and you can release it at the right time. But I don’t know the material of this copper... are you afraid of the tempering of hell fire?"
"You can try."
Chen Xing has no fear at all.
"Ah - it's this unruly look that always makes people find it annoying. The more unyielding something is, the more people want to break it, right?"
Karma Tribulation is not a knife suitable for fighting, at least not suitable for head-on confrontation. As it happens, he has no such intention. This battle is still going on in a way that ordinary people can't see through. Lord Xueyue's plan is easy to see through, he wants to
The copper ring's first sword was completely destroyed, making it useless, and then he used magic to fight her.
Chenxing knew very well that this cynical impermanent ghost was probably interested in Liulixin. But why? And why now? In the past, when she was not as capable as she is now, he should have had many suitable opportunities to get it.
. Something must have happened, something she didn’t know about, and Lord Kutsutsuki must be ready to add fuel to the fire.
The most important function of Liulixin is purification. As a monster, what does he need to purify?
Maybe it's not what he needs, but it's for others?
I don’t know how long this battle will last. Compared with any scheming methods, it seems to be just a duel of pure strength. This is really not like Lord Kuchtsuki’s style, but so far, he does enjoy it. He likes this one very much.
Since the day he acquired this special sword, he has perfected his swordsmanship. It's hard to say what kind of behavior this is for the monster...but it can be seen that he really likes it.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
This female voice was really harsh, and it could almost shake the snow off several nearby trees. The two stopped immediately, but no one took advantage of the situation. Because the person who interrupted the fight,
You can be considered an acquaintance of the two of you.
"Shui Wujun?" Chenxing was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to appear here."
"Hongxuan Changye!" Shui Wujun yelled at the monster over there, "I know you have a way to hear our discussions and find out our purpose. We can't control your eyes and ears, and you
I can’t control your hands. To this day, you still deal with the problem in your own way. Are you too insistent?”
Lord Xueyue exclaimed and became happy: "I am determined to have my own way? I, Hongxuan Changye, have been in charge of the Six Paths Impermanence for longer than the time since you were born. It is your turn to teach me a lesson? I am just sorry that you are right to me.
I still don't know enough. You know, at least, as you said - I am solving the problem. If I am lazy, I will leave you with more trouble than I am now. Do you know why I have spent so many years?
I hate you to the core, but you still maintain your position as Kuchugetsu-kun? That’s because I can still do some practical things. Unlike you, it seems that few of the tasks assigned to you by the Lord were actually completed.
Well, I see you, if you resign as soon as possible, you can get the good result of reincarnation. One day, because of poor performance, you spoil the master's plan and let down the expectations of the mortal people. Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough for you.
Bear it."
Shui Wujun took a deep breath. The cold wind sank into her lungs, which eased her mood a little. After so long, this man's mouth was still so mean, she thought she was used to it. That's all, with him.
There is really no point in fussing over this kind of thing except wasting time.
But there were some things that she still wanted to talk back to.
"Oh, solving problems? Every time you solve a problem, you just create new problems for us. I'm afraid that without you in this position, the work of other colleagues will be a lot easier... a lot."
"I took it as a compliment."
"I have finally seen your shamelessness today."
These words were actually spoken by Chenxing. She still looked at him coldly, and the falling snow reflected in her eyes was integrated with the coldness. Before Lord Xueyue could take any further action, Lord Shui Wu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Hands, letting the clattering chains lie between the two of them. Their fight was forced to stop.
Mr. Xueyue glanced around. The distribution of the demon-binding ropes was very clever, deliberately making it difficult for him to use it. It should be said that this woman has made a lot of progress compared to her human days. This chain is directly connected to the underworld.
It is said that there is nothing in the world that can cut off the Six Paths Divine Weapons.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to fight two of us?" Lord Kutsutsuki laughed, "You are really bullying someone."
"You also make me a little disgusting." Chenxing said bluntly.
Shui Wujun unceremoniously pulled out two broken blades from his waist and walked straight towards the center of the two of them.
"Chen Nuxia, please leave first. This guy is simply using the worry of demon transformation as a cover to have other agendas."
"Yes, I know. But I won't leave." Chenxing turned his wrist slightly and the blade passed through the streamer. "I don't like to cause trouble, but if trouble comes, I won't avoid fighting."
"There will be no results." Shui Wujun shook his head, "You don't know what dirty tricks this guy has. He can't be upright and maintain a so-called fair duel from beginning to end."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not a gentleman either."
Lord Kutsutsuki suddenly sighed exaggeratedly. He deliberately attracted the attention of the two people.
"Alas! You girls are really very narrow-minded. They seem to have a really good relationship. I don't know, but I thought you were really like sisters. It seems like I am the only bad person in this world. That's all.
It's up to you. There's really no point in getting entangled with such a bitch."
After saying that, he turned around in front of the two of them, leaving behind a back full of flaws. But they all knew that if they attacked now, he must be on guard. They would not do this.
It really makes no sense. Shui Wujun also knows that he deliberately devalued women. It's not that he really looks down on girls - as a sexless monster, he is indistinguishable. In this way, it is just to disgust them.
.
However, there was really no point in continuing the fight. The two of them watched him leave intently. It wasn't until the red back completely melted into a vast white that Shui Wujun took back the chains. The sound of cold metal was in harmony with the cold weather.
The frozen ground scenery matches perfectly.
"I'm really sorry. These matters... should be negotiated between me and you."
"I know."
"It was delayed for a while because of other things. I was late."
"Is it about Kisaragi-kun?" Chenxing quickly thought of those broken limbs. After all, the last time they met, the two of them had talked about such a topic.
"You are very perceptive."
"I...see the results from your eyes."
"Yeah." Shui Wujun reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and said with an ugly smile, "It's really not a success."
"Then it's a defeat."
"You can say that. But they are already thinking of new ways."
"It has nothing to do with me. But I wish you all the best."
"Then, please cooperate with my work." Shui Wujun stretched out his hand and pointed to the small town with lights in the distance. "This is really not the place to talk. In order to understand some of your thoughts, I have to waste some time.
.You know the reason.”
"You don't have to be so polite. But...ah, it's really troublesome." Chenxing's already sleepy expression looked even more exhausted. Even the hearty battle like just now couldn't cheer her up. She complained:
"I also have a lot of unfinished business..."
"It won't take too long, it's just a routine thing for me."
