Thomas's team members hadn't reacted yet, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
As mercenaries, this was their first time encountering something like this. A boss who confronted them was captured. What should they do? They are leaderless?
"But...let it go..." Thomas's face turned red unnaturally. He felt like an iron clamp was holding his neck. The blood below the neck could not supply to the brain. The dizzy feeling made her unable to even think. It made her feel uncomfortable. Yu instinctively struck the hand holding his neck uselessly.
"Brother Shen..."
Team Song and others were stunned at this moment. They did not expect Shen Ming to act so decisively. Shen Ming's strength had already convinced them before. This is true, but Thomas is also a high-level mage. Logically speaking, he is not so weak. Yes! How could it be possible that he was taken down immediately after meeting him? And what kind of magic did Shen Ming cast just now? How could it be so fast?
These people may not be able to imagine that Shen Ming's speed just now was achieved entirely by relying on his own physical strength.
"Let go of the boss!"
Thomas' younger brothers were also anxious at this moment and gathered around them one after another. They ignored Captain Song and the others and stared at Shen Ming eagerly.
Shen Ming glanced at Captain Song and the others, who were motionless on the spot, and secretly shook his head in disappointment. Mercenaries were mercenaries after all.
"You can come together, but the speed must be fast enough, otherwise I will break his neck!"
Shen Ming smiled, showing his white teeth, and the ferocity on his face was clearly visible. It wasn't that Shen Ming didn't have murderous intentions, but he had never shown it.
Not to mention nearly a thousand, hundreds of Black Church members died in the hands of Shen Ming during the catastrophe in the ancient capital. Shen Ming had never been a merciful guy, but he only occasionally had scruples.
But... what worries does Shen Ming have about these bastards in front of him? Squeezing them to death is no different from squeezing an ant to death!
"Stupid Easterners, we belong to the Fire Mercenary Group, which is a gold medal mercenary group with more than ten high-level experts. Do you think you can compete with us? Don't let Thomas go yet!"
The face of the foreign girl who had been kicked over for some reason had turned into a ferocious expression, and she yelled at Shen Ming with a cry like a killing chicken.
"Palm mouth!"
Shen Ming made a mouth gesture towards the woman in the air, and then under the stunned eyes of everyone, the woman who was very arrogant just now was actually slapped in the air, and made a 360-degree spin in the air. It fell to the ground.
"My hair!" The woman climbed up in disbelief, covering her cheeks with her hands. The burning feeling proved that everything before was not an illusion, and there was even a trace of blood lying on the corner of her mouth.
"Space system! Space system mage, you are a high-level mage! How is this possible?"
At this moment, everyone was confused. Everyone knew the dignity of a space mage. Due to his strange abilities and rarity, he would be treated as a guest no matter where he was.
Only now did everyone in the Fire Mercenary Group realize that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended. Being so young, possessing such strength, and being a space magician, his background was definitely not something they could offend! Even if The entire Fire Mercenary Group cannot be provoked, there must be a terrifying existence behind them!
Team Song and others were also stunned at this moment. They did not expect Shen Ming to be a space magician, and they were already sure that the other party was definitely from a big force.
The rarity of the space system has caused ordinary magicians to involuntarily classify the space system as a noble system, a legal system that only nobles can possess.
Shen Ming ignored everyone's surprise. Looking at Thomas who was about to suffocate, the expression on Shen Ming's face showed a hint of enjoyment. This feeling of controlling life and death and deciding everything was really good.
Shen Ming felt like he was a little obsessed. As long as he moved his fingers slightly, the foreign man in front of him who was so arrogant just now and pointed a magic gun at him would die tragically on the spot.
"Your Excellency, please calm down. I apologize for our unreasonable behavior just now, but please put down our captain first. Everything will be fine. If Captain Song is your friend, we will not make things difficult for you and your family."
Friends make amends.”
One of the big white men who could see the situation clearly said quickly that he could see that Thomas was about to suffocate, and Thomas would definitely die if this continued.
Although the Fire Mercenary Group is a gold-medal mercenary group, the number of high-level mages is also limited, and Thomas is one of them. If they die here so lightly and cannot bring back the commission, then their fate will definitely be different.
It will be good.
"I seem to want to kill someone right now!" Shen Ming's smile became more and more weird, and there was a trace of blood red under the deep black eyes, which looked extremely evil and scary!
Shen Ming glanced around, and everyone couldn't help but take a step back, as if there was an invisible sense of oppression!
Murderous aura kept pouring out of Shen Ming's body, and it seemed to be getting more and more out of control.
"This is a world for the strong. There is nothing wrong with it! If you have strength, you should be able to do whatever you want, just like those rich people can buy everything they want! Why can't I?"
Shen Ming seemed to be asking himself questions, and squeezed Thomas Bogon's hand unconsciously.
The people in the Fire Mercenary Group are a little confused at this moment. Stop talking to yourself. Just talk to yourself. Can you please stop using force? If you use force anymore, you will really die!
"Your Excellency! Calm down! One million U.S. dollars! One million U.S. dollars as our compensation, as long as you let go, our captain!" The big white man who just spoke was completely frightened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted out "Let's go!"
He felt distressed about the figure for one year. There was really nothing he could do about it. One million US dollars was a small amount. If Thomas died, there was really no way to explain it.
"Just so gently..." Shen Ming didn't seem to hear the other party's words, but was still talking to himself, and the blood red in his eyes seemed to be more intense.
"Killing? Is this what you want?" The ancient king's voice suddenly sounded, and his tone seemed a bit heavy.
"What's wrong? They provoked me first. I could only defend myself!" Shen Ming curled his lips disdainfully.
"Even if you kill everyone present, I won't accuse you. It's just... what I just asked you, is this what you want?
What you call power is embodied killing, or do you mean that controlling everything means controlling people's life and death?
But don’t you just master death? Where is life? Everything you have experienced is unimaginable by your peers. The people you meet do not match your current state of mind at all. Don’t be infatuated with this kind of master who controls everything.
It feels like you haven’t reached the top yet!”
The ancient king snorted coldly, and an invisible aura of king shook Shen Ming's heart.
Shen Ming's eyes, which were gradually filled with scarlet red, suddenly regained a trace of clarity. Shen Ming's hands that became harder and harder relaxed slightly, pulling Thomas, who was about to be taken away by the god of death, back to the world.
The members of the Agni Mercenary Group who were watching on the sidelines were relieved. They thought that the persuasion just now worked, and at least the boss's life was saved.
"What... happened to me just now?" Shen Ming was a little surprised, even a little scared. The feeling just now was because he felt very strange. He was obviously aware of everything happening around him, but he felt like he couldn't control himself.
.
"Loneliness has always overlooked a problem. Too many experiences may not be an experience for you, but a burden.
It's like those people don't understand why you don't show a trace of pride when you are already so outstanding among your peers. In fact, it's not that you are not proud, but that you know too much! You know too much, and the world you see
More real!
This may have unknowingly led to the collapse of your state of mind. Maybe you didn't even notice it yourself. With this little accumulation, you are craving more and more for the power to control everything!"
The ancient king sighed, and the more he understood, the more he wanted to pursue it. Even if he was pure and stoic, he could not avoid subtle influences!
Shen Ming was silent, and also a little scared. His body was actually out of his control? What a terrible thing! As a magician with the second emotion system, Shen Ming was unable to determine the cause at this moment.
Is all this emotion or something else?
"what should I do?"
"This depends on you. Killing is never the right thing. It all comes from your own judgment. Control does not mean doing whatever you want. Even if you have the power to break the rules, only by respecting the rules can you enjoy what you should enjoy.
"The ancient king sighed and whispered.
Having reached the pinnacle and ruled the world, the ancient king deeply understood that control does not mean doing whatever he wants. It is far better to be feared by everyone than to be feared by everyone.
Take control of the power, rather than letting the power take over you!
Shen Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm down his inner mood at this moment.
"Your Excellency, everything is easy to discuss, as long as..."
"Crack!"
Before the big white man finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, and Thomas, whose face turned purple, died in an instant, bidding farewell to this beautiful world completely.
"There's nothing to discuss. When he pointed the magic gun at me, his fate was already doomed!" Shen Ming threw Thomas's body aside like a piece of garbage, but the surrounding body was filled with air.
The murderous aura that came with him gradually subsided at this moment.
The ancient king is right, whether you kill or not is entirely up to you. I use my power to kill, not my power that makes me kill.
At that moment, Shen Ming was controlled by the feeling of being alone, and temporarily let power take over his body. Perhaps due to the influence of powerful men like the Prodigy, the Dark King, and Kars, Shen Ming unknowingly
The desire for power increased, but the state of mind did not improve substantially, which led to a slight backlash.
"You!" The big white man never expected that Shen Ming would "change his mind temporarily."
"Revenge the boss!"
Several mercenaries who could not enter instantly rushed towards Shen Ming, and all kinds of magic blasted towards Shen Ming.
"court death!"
Shen Ming's eyes turned cold, and raging thunder swept out.
The Evil Ghost of Thunder held the thunder trident and swiped it lightly, and those mercenaries who were just junior magicians instantly turned into flying!
One move shocked everyone, and the remaining members of the Fire Hook mercenary group no longer dared to act rashly. They all looked at Shen Ming with big eyes and small eyes, and the phantom of the thunder ghost behind them that gave them a strong sense of oppression.
!
"Your Excellency..." The big white man was so nervous at the moment that he couldn't even say anything to beg for mercy. The young man from the East in front of him was powerful enough to annihilate them all.
In the world of mercenaries, other than paying people to kill people, there is no need for a reason.
"roll!"
Shen Ming shouted low, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, as if they were receiving an amnesty, they ran away crazily behind them without looking back. As for revenge, they no longer thought about it at this moment.
The other party is also a guy who kills without blinking an eye. He is not an ordinary young man with some strength. The boss has been killed. Are they left here to die?
In the short time of taking a cigarette, everyone was gone. Even Team Song’s group had quietly left without knowing when.
"Huh..." Shen Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, and the evil thunder ghost behind him gradually dissipated, and his mood was a little complicated.
"Compared to ordinary magicians, you are considered quite outstanding even among senior magicians who are older than you.
But you know very well in your heart that there are too many people in this world who can kill you as easily as you killed that guy just now!
Even if you really reach the peak, you are not omnipotent after all. You should practice more on the breathing skills that old Taoist priest Shen gave you! Your current state of mind is indeed a bit unstable!" After all, the ancient king can only
I can give you some advice, but it’s up to Shen Ming to choose.
"So my heart is so longing for power? Is it the power to kill people or the power to protect the beauty that belongs to me?" Shen Ming was a little confused at this moment.
Who hasn’t had a dream of falling in love? In the world of freedom, people kill people, and Buddhas kill Buddhas! But what will happen if you kill them? How can you protect the beauty of your life with the pleasure of a moment?
"As long as you don't die, one day you will understand that even if you can kill everyone in the world, you can't restore the life lost in your arms and the time you passed!
Mr. Shen, you have misunderstood the peak of power. You still have a long way to go!" The ancient king spoke again, with a hint of sadness in his words. What Shen Ming has experienced now, he also experienced similar things back then.
From being a prostitute of another country to becoming the most powerful person in the world, the ancient king was never confused or indulged? But after the moment of happiness, he was faced with endless emptiness! When you believe in yourself and feel that you can take care of everything and control everything,
In fact, he is already possessed.
"You're right, power is empty, it's up to me how to use it!" Shen Ming's eyes gradually became firm.
Isn't the son of a god who eventually turned into a devil the best example? Was it really such a tragic experience that turned him into a murderous demon?
In essence, it is a loss of control of power. Power makes him lost and immerses him in the temporary joy brought by killing! It's like DP makes people want to stop!
"I am who I am, don't expect anyone to control me!"
…
…
Between the white snow, there are always three or two places of brown permafrost exposed, which can be regarded as embellishments, but it makes the scene in front of us not pure white.
This is Kunlun Mountain, a place known as the ancestor of all mountains, an absolutely forbidden land. It owns the largest demon kingdom on land, the Kunlun Demon Kingdom!
But maybe no one would have thought that in this forbidden area, Kunlun Mountain, which no one dares to approach easily, there would be a human figure walking slowly on the top of Kunlun Mountain at this moment.
On the top of the snow-capped mountain, a series of footprints record the traces of his visit.
And this human being is really the young man who talked with Zhan Kong on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, and the man who saved the gods in the ruined royal city in Peru.
"It's so beautiful! You are worthy of being the ancestor of mountains. You really can see all the mountains in one glance!" The young man had a smile on his face and seemed to be really enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was not worried at all that this was a forbidden place among forbidden places.
In an instant, the originally clear sky suddenly became stormy, dense with dark clouds, and thunderous like the sky was falling. The purple lightning spread out in the clouds, and the terrible pressure made people feel like the sky was falling apart!
What was originally a very beautiful scene suddenly became extremely bad at this moment!
"It's really disappointing, but... if you see the legendary Kunlun Rooftop, even if you die here, it will be considered a worthy death, right?"
The next moment, the dark clouds were turning, and the dense clouds were like whirlpools in the lake. Lightning flashed, adding a bit of depression.
A huge one-eye that almost covered the entire sky was in the center of the whirlpool and slowly opened its eyes!
"Human...this is not where you should come!"
The roaring and majestic voice resounded through the sky, as if it was an order that could not be disobeyed, but the order was issued to the entire world!
"It shouldn't be up to you, right? I just came to see the snow in Kunlun. It's my old man's wish before he died. This wish doesn't satisfy me at all?" The young man smiled and shook his head, looking at
Looking at that huge one eye, there was no hint of timidity, but rather a bit of ridicule.
The eyes in the sky shook slightly, and the majestic voice sounded again: "Can this be interpreted as a provocation? A provocation from the pinnacle of human beings. Do you want to start a war?"
"No... I just came to see the snow, and of course I also planned to see the beauty of Kunlun Rooftop. Now that I see it... hiss... it's really hard to predict.
Maybe you are the ones who truly understand the existence of this world, and you really want to say thank you..." The young man seemed to be shaking his head in disappointment. He already knew some things, but knowing them now is of no use, because he
There is not much time left.
Vaguely, the young man's body seemed to emit a faint golden light involuntarily. Sanskrit sounds seemed to be playing between heaven and earth, and an extremely holy feeling radiated from the young man's body.
The rumbling thunder sounded again, and the huge eyes shook slightly again, and the majestic voice brought a little disbelief and regret this time.
"You have actually come to this step? I was just wondering, how could a mere Forbidden Curse Mage from the third element dare to challenge me?
What a pity... As long as I lend you another 50 years, I have every reason to believe that you can succeed. It is a pity after all, because you are just a little short of being the second best in the world!"
The world seemed to recall a slight mournful sound. I don’t know where it came from, but there was an inexplicable sadness.
"The word fate is so wonderful." The young man smiled and shook his head. After all, he still refused to admit defeat. He was defeated by destiny.
"Since you are here to enjoy the snow, I have no reason to stop you... Cherish the time you have left. I will allow you to be buried in Kunlun after your death."
"And with such treatment, old man, I really have a face...haha..."
