Omens

The vast sky and earth are clear and clean.

Thousands of horses galloped past, raising a cloud of flying sand and rocks that swept across the sky and earth.

The sounds of flesh colliding, swords clashing, shouts, roars, and screams suddenly overlapped and intertwined into a sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling.

Suddenly——

Bright red splashed across the earth, the black and red scorched earth reignited the raging fire, and the sky was filled with fiery clouds.

The heroic spirit was called by the roar and stood up in the flames. Its facial features were blurred and its body was illusory, and it was driven by the wave of the hand again.

It, they, the dead souls and evil spirits are suffering in the furnace of heaven and earth.

With a gesture, a laugh, and a flick of the fingers, the wandering ghosts ran into the flashing swords and the nets of heaven and earth, and were torn to pieces in an instant.

Scattered, dispersed, reunited, and fought again.

Why do we have to suffer in this situation when we have no control over our own actions?

This is the human world...a battlefield.

The orange-red fire was baring its fangs and claws, sharp to the extreme yet gentle; the orange-red fire was illusory and soft, yet its breath was terrifying and overwhelming.

The raging fire surrounded the city, and in the strong wind, it pounced on it like a tiger.

The weapons clashed, and the mountains shook with "boom, boom, boom", and "da da da, da da da--" countless iron hooves flew over the flames one after another.

A huge, snow-white, patterned mysterious figure spread its wings in the sky, and its three long, ice-blue tail feathers fluttered freely.

Silently, tiny starlight falls from the sky.

Figures swiftly climbed onto the city walls. Amidst the raging fire and scorched earth, bloodstained hands placed their hands on the city gates...

"boom!!!"

The heavy city gate was instantly blown away into the city, leaving behind a straight scarlet path.

Figures in silver-white and red armor walked into the city.

…………

On the distant mountains.

In the area with low and sparse trees, there were only two figures in white, one tall and one short.

They looked quietly at the furnace-like scene of heaven and earth in the distance.

It's time to clean up this den of thieves in Lin Country, and it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly than to suffer a long pain.

This is a kind of kindness.

There are so many kinds of kindness, some big, some small. Is it better to be kind to one person, or to be kind to countless people?

Being kind to one person is affection; being kind to countless people is both affectionate and ruthless, both indifference and love.

It is impossible to be perfect in goodness, and it is difficult to have both in the world.

The contradictions of human nature are more clearly reflected in the choices we make than in good and evil. To want it all, to be greedy and want nothing more, is hypocrisy.

Gusts of wind blew by, causing her black hair to flutter and her simple white clothes to flutter.

The two people stared into the distance, their eyes seeming to move slightly as the situation progressed.

Examine and withdraw.

It's like someone wandering outside the world, watching the world from the side.

Suddenly, Jiang Jingqian turned his head and looked at the girl next to him.

The fifteen-year-old girl was dressed in white, standing there coldly and quietly.

Jiang Jingqian's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and his eyes curved.

People always seem to be afraid of those who have blood on their hands and are good at killing, and they will despise or get close to the quiet bystanders they see when they look back.

People with blood on their hands and good at killing, driven by emotions such as anger and excitement, exude an ominous and terrifying aura like a raging fire, making people afraid to approach them.

And those figures that you unexpectedly see when you turn your head, they are quiet and introverted, as gentle as water, which makes people feel contempt, or a strange closeness and liking.

But water can kill people.

——Such indifferent bystanders are not affected or driven by emotions. They make every move after weighing the pros and cons.

It is as if the heart does not exist, and it is the mind that dominates these onlookers.

Almost invulnerable.

Jiang Jingqian smiled and turned back to look into the distance again. They were the family that looked alike...

Jiang Jingyuan seemed to be unaware and kept looking straight ahead.

Actually, she could look like anyone.

She didn't notice it at first, but the older she got, the more surprised she was. After a month or two or half a year, she would unconsciously become like whoever she was with.

——It is the similarity of thinking style.

By saying exactly the same words at the same time, and performing exactly the same actions at the same time, you can simulate almost any reaction of the other person to anything.

For her, the most difficult thing is to maintain her own self.

Even she herself had some doubts——

Does she really have a self?

…………

In the field of vision, the sky and the ground became dark and gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only right in front of me, there was a raging fire on the ground and flickering flames in the sky.

In the furnace of heaven and earth.

A mysterious white figure circled high in the sky, occasionally looking up and letting out a clear and ethereal cry.

White specks of snow, like stars, slide across the night sky and fall to the earth.

On the ground where the flames were raging, fighting, fleeing, screaming and cursing continued.

With the clatter of iron hooves, a large number of tall figures wearing silver-white armor stepped into the ruined city.

Inside the charred city wall with leaping orange flames, countless figures suddenly screamed.

They screamed, turned around and ran backwards, bumping into the dense crowd in front of them.

Hands danced unconsciously in the air, scratching and pulling, and suddenly grabbed the hair and clothes of the people around them.

Their faces were filled with fear, and almost unconsciously, they decisively pushed the people they had caught to the side and behind them.

Or screaming and knocking down three or two figures.

One after another, fleeing feet stepped hurriedly on it.

"Bang!!"

The rushing crowd suddenly bumped into a group of tall soldiers and horses.

The governor of Liushan County glared angrily, raised his sword high in his hand, and rode his horse forward, shouting angrily:

"Fugitives will be killed on the spot!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big knife in his hand suddenly made a sound of breaking through the air and cutting through the night.

The messy, dry hair was neatly cut horizontally.

More than a dozen round heads suddenly flew backwards and crashed into the crowd.

The dry and yellow hair fluttered down in the night sky, and the row of headless figures standing in the front collapsed!

The crowd suddenly burst into even more shrill screams.

"kill--"

The burly middle-aged man raised his bloody sword and roared angrily:

"You are a bunch of ignorant fools. Go to fight and die! Go and die for your stupidity!!"

He was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes bulged out with anger on his face, which was firm and fleshy, with greasy skin and shining white spots. He swung the knife in his hand and chopped off more than a dozen heads.

He pulled at the reins, and the tall, armored horse neighed.

"Dongdongdong, Dongdongdong--"

The Liushan County Magistrate led a large group of people and horses behind him, riding his horse and crushing the crowd ahead, he roared madly -

"Go fight, go fight, go kill and die!!!"

There were constant screams in the crowd, and countless people turned around and ran away crying.

“Da, da…”

Flags are flying.

The mighty silver-white cavalry appeared calmly in everyone's sight.

Across the crowd, the two armies looked at each other quietly.

Suddenly, the governor of Liushan County roared, shaking the sky like thunder.

Iron hooves swiftly trampled through the crowd and slammed into the large expanse of silver-white ahead!

—Like a trapped beast still fighting, or like someone dragging someone else down with them to be buried with them in a spectacular manner even after death!

Swords flashed and clashed, roaring and colliding.

The crowd, swaying from side to side and drifting with the current, cried, and low, trembling sounds came from their throats, like the weak cries of young animals.

With no way to escape, they suddenly roared like crazy, picked up swords and sticks, and started hacking and beating anyone they saw, without distinguishing between friend and foe.

What's more, the sword that was swung and cut was falling on oneself.

There are only evil spirits in the furnace of heaven and earth, and the evil spirits are acting crazy.

"Ha ha--"

The governor of Liushan County immediately threw his head back and laughed.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and invisible starlight powder fell on his armor, squirming and drilling into the gaps in the armor.

The Liushan County Magistrate, who had been laughing non-stop, suddenly let out a shrill scream, his sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and he fell sideways off his horse.

The silver-white knife light cut through the darkness.

The head fell out and was kicked into the depths of the night by a foot.

The head hit the roof with a thud, rolled over, and revealed a distorted human face with wide-open eyes.

A pair of long boots with dark patterns stepped heavily on it, and the tip of the shoe crushed the man's face, and the tiles under the head made a crisp sound.

Wu Shuxing stepped on the hideous human face, and the long knife in his hand was dripping with dark red blood, which rolled into the gap between the tiles.

He sneered.

You bastard.

Is he worthy of being asked to be humble and endure humiliation?!

Aren’t all people…

They act arrogantly towards those in lower positions, pretending to be approachable and giving them instructions in a generous manner, but are cautious and greet those in higher positions with a smile.

This bastard, doesn't he even know his own worth? Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he boss him around?!

humiliation.

Extremely humiliating.

Wu Shuxing's face was gloomy.

Behind him, a young man slowly approached. Wu Fei raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, then looked up, blinking in confusion, and asked:

"Sir, do you want to take this head back and use it as a chamber pot?"

Wu Shuxing's gloomy and ugly expression changed instantly.

He turned around suddenly, gasped in shock, his trembling pupils filled with disbelief, and screamed—

“You’re so disgusting!!”

He immediately kicked the head away, grinning with a distorted face, and said:

"Don't bring all that junk home. Your home isn't a doghouse! What's your hobby? Don't you think it's disgusting and unlucky to have this kind of filth in your house?"

Seeing him chattering indignantly, Wu Fei looked helpless and explained casually:

"I'm just worried that you won't feel relieved..."

Wu Shuxing said with dissatisfaction and resistance:

"I've already killed him, so what's there to be upset about? If I were to look at him every day, I'd get angrier and angrier!"

He curled his lips and muttered:

"If you have the leisure to admire this thing, you might as well go and kill his entire clan. What a wicked dog raised by someone else..."

Wu Fei smiled and agreed repeatedly.

Suddenly, he turned around and glanced behind him, the smile on his face widened, and he said to Wu Shuxing:

"Sir, the battle over there seems to be coming to an end."

Wu Shuxing's dissatisfied words suddenly stopped, and after a pause, he said casually with a nonchalant look:

"It should have ended long ago. I've already chopped off their leader's head. How much longer can those wicked guys keep fighting?"

Wu Fei immediately began to boast sincerely:

"Young Master is amazing! I was scared when you went over there just now. I didn't expect that person couldn't even withstand your attack and lost his head directly!"

Wu Shuxing's chin lifted higher and higher, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, "Of course I am powerful."

He paused, coughed lightly and turned back in the direction he came from, and said:

"Then we should go back too."

Wu Fei responded with a smile.

However, the next moment, thunder drums roared from all directions, and "dong dong dong, dong dong dong--" the sound of heavy iron hooves came rapidly!

The two men's expressions changed suddenly.
