Chapter 84: The Most Vigorous Shadow of Destruction in History
The red maple trees moved automatically in the absence of wind. A few maple leaves fell and disappeared in mid-air before they even hit the ground.
The old man was sitting cross-legged under the maple tree. His tattered clothes made him look a little slovenly. He didn't have the aura of immortality, and his eyes were so dark that it made people feel frightened.
"Inheriter, what is your choice?"
The old man's black hole-like eyes stared at Su Xiao. Su Xiao frowned slightly. The other party didn't give him a choice at all, let alone what he should choose.
"..."
Finding that Su Xiao was silent, the old man seemed a little unhappy.
With a cry, Su Xiao's eyes flashed. He was originally about ten meters away from the old man, but now, the old man and the red maple tree were in front of him.
The old man raised his hand, which was as dry as a branch, and there was a loud crackling sound, and large golden light patterns appeared around Su Xiao.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
The old man looked at his palm, and the cracks on his hand healed quickly.
Su Xiao didn't know what was going on for the moment. When he was improving his sword skills, he was suddenly pulled here by a force of space. Not to mention that his sword skills had not been improved, the old guy still asked him to make a choice.
Su Xiao never believed in such things as pie in the sky, and such things as 'accidentally meeting' a peerless master and getting the true message were simply impossible to happen.
"Who are you."
Su Xiao spoke, and the old man smiled, with the wrinkles on his face being particularly obvious.
"Who am I..." The old man thought for a moment and finally shook his head: "You don't need to know yet, so what is your choice?"
The old man seemed a little impatient.
"Marvin Waltz."
Su Xiao tentatively said a name.
"That incompetent boy..."
The old man's eyes narrowed, and darkness surged around him.
"He is my disciple. Since you have met him, you should understand that I don't have much time, so make your choice."
The old man's aura was obviously calmer and no longer as strange as before.
"Choose...what?"
Su Xiao asked about the doubts in her heart.
"..."
The old man had some surprise in his eyes.
Su Xiao can now confirm that this old guy is definitely Marvin Waltz's master, which means that this unreliable old guy is also the Shadow of Destruction.
With a snap, a large piece of the old man's shoulder was broken, like broken ceramics. Through this broken piece, Su Xiao could see clearly what was going on inside the old man's body.
The old man's body was empty, and a large amount of colorless energy surged in the other party's body.
Seeing these colorless energies, the doubts in Su Xiao's mind suddenly became clear. He finally knew why the old man appeared here. The old man's body was constructed from broken soul crystals. As for the source of the soul crystals, he knew it without even thinking about it.
, it is Su Xiao’s 30 soul crystals (large).
The old man stretched his palm forward, and after a moment, he nodded thoughtfully.
"It turns out that before you had to make a decision, it was the 'backer' behind you who manifested me in advance. I see, why do you look so stupid?"
The old man muttered, and now, he no longer felt as weird as before.
"Remember, when you are faced with a choice, it is up to you to choose what your heart desires, whether to 'hold the blade' or 'break the sky'. If you regret becoming the shadow of the law, you can also take another path.
"
The old man's body shattered into pieces and turned into large pieces of soul crystal.
Scenes appeared in front of Su Xiao's eyes. A young man brandished a knife under the maple tree. Time turned like a wheel. The young man wielding the knife quickly became middle-aged and finally old. It was exactly what the old man looked like.
The old man stood under the red maple tree, his eyes flashed blue, and at the next moment, a shadow poured into him from behind.
The old man sat cross-legged under the tree, his eyes were blood red. After an unknown amount of time, a shadow seemed to want to rush out of his body, but the old man was wrapped in a layer of blue energy, and the shadow could not rush out at all.
The shadow gradually dissipated, and the old man's blood-red eyes turned dark.
The scene in front of Su Xiao suddenly stopped. Only the red maple tree was left around, and the old man had disappeared.
"What a... fierce old man."
Su Xiao muttered, he had indeed learned a lot today. This unknown old man was Marvin Waltz's master. This old guy was definitely a fierce man, Su Xiao was sure of this.
According to Su Xiao's knowledge, all law-destroying shadows are afraid of turning into sword demons. Whenever the Devouring Core is used, the law-destroying shadows are at risk of turning into sword demons, and Su Xiao is no exception.
Su Xiao didn't know where the sword demon came from. This was also something that most of the Law-Destroying Shadows were confused about. The Blade Demon had no independent consciousness, or in other words, it was a kind of special energy. The Law-Destroying Shadow became crazy after turning into a sword demon.
Most of the killings were done out of instinct rather than being driven by the so-called sword demon.
There are relatively powerful magic-destroying shadows that seal the sword demon into the companion weapon, thereby greatly increasing the combat power, and Marvin Waltz's master is even more cheating. The old man uses the energy of the green steel shadow to create a cage and uses himself as a bait.
, attracting the sword demon into his body, imprisoning him and devouring it. Because he swallowed that energy, his eyes were so dark, as black as ink.
The appearance of this old man not only opened up "new ideas" for Su Xiao, but also told him a very important thing, that is, he was about to face a decision.
According to what the old man said, that choice was related to sword skills. Su Xiao immediately thought that it was the change after the sword master was promoted to lv.50. At that time, he had two choices, which should be different development directions.
Su Xiao didn't know the specific situation yet. He looked at the red maple tree in front of him. After careful observation, he found that this thing was not a maple tree, but an ancient tree that he had never seen before.
Standing in front of the ancient tree, Su Xiao had a strange feeling. He sat cross-legged under the ancient tree and began to meditate.
With a buzzing sound, the scene around Su Xiao changed drastically. The surrounding area became brighter, dust particles were flying in the air, and a slash flashed past.
I don't know how long it took, Su Xiao suddenly felt the pulling force of space. His eyes opened and he subconsciously grabbed the ancient tree. If he could get this thing, he would be rich. This thing would increase his meditation effect at least dozens of times.
.
With a click, Su Xiao grabbed a piece of bark from the ancient tree. The old man who had disappeared suddenly appeared and kicked Su Xiao in the back, kicking him into the spatial vortex.
The old man quickly came to the ancient tree, and when he saw the torn piece of bark, his face was obviously in pain.
"This...bastard."
The old man's cheek twitched. He looked towards the space vortex, and saw that he clearly wanted to catch up and snatch the piece of bark from Su Xiao's hand.
"Forget it, just treat it as courtesy."
Light flashed in the old man's hand, and twenty-eight soul crystals (large) appeared around him. There were originally thirty, two of which were tolls.
"I've been dead for so long, and I still don't know what the void looks like now. If those spell casters..."
The old man's words stopped short. He was just a ray of remnant soul. How those spellcasters destroyed the void had obviously nothing to do with him.
"Ashes return to dust, earth returns to earth. We are the guardians of the elements. However, we have disappeared in the long river of time..."
The old man and the ancient tree disappeared, the surrounding scene began to become desolate, violent elements surged, and large space cracks emerged. This is the origin and end of the Shadow of Destruction, and now, it is a restricted area for life.
