Chapter 061 Chapter 61
Yang Qingyan hid aside and quickly treated the injuries of his teammates.
A stream of energy came towards them. Yang Qingyan was startled and subconsciously put up a barrier. After a few seconds, the heavy blow she imagined did not come. She subconsciously looked up and saw that a crimson defensive barrier had appeared above her head, protecting them firmly inside.
"It's that senior." Yang Qingyan said in a daze. She had heard from her colleagues before that the senior holding the fan was a kind-hearted man who helped them a lot. She didn't expect that he actually knew Taowu.
It is known that Taowu was sealed by the Demon King himself three thousand years ago, so they must have known each other before this incident. According to their previous conversation, it can be concluded that the boss defeated Taowu, so his strength was already very strong at that time, and it was not cultivated later. In other words...
"Mom, I saw a fossil, and it's still alive..." After realizing this, Yang Qingyan fell into a daze.
Yuheng put one hand behind his back and gently lifted the fan. Behind him, a huge amount of energy was compressed into thin and long needles, and the ends of the needles were burning with flames, like gorgeous feathers.
In his sea of consciousness, Mo Xuanji once again clearly recognized the difference between himself and the big boss. The special moves he worked so hard to come up with were not even a basic attack for the real big boss, and Yuheng could even easily come up with more. For no reason, he suddenly thought of the black-robed man he first met. How strong could this existence be that even Yuheng found difficult to deal with?
All fears come from insufficient firepower. If his original body could have half the strength of Yu Heng, he would not be afraid of the end of the world. Damn it, when will his original body become stronger? Mo Xuanji silently shed a bitter tear.
Compared with fancy skills, Taowu prefers to use his own claws to attack. It is obvious that he has been overwhelmed by the fight, and he shouted excitedly: "It's great, hahahaha, come on, more!"
"You should use more strength. Are you tickling me?"
"Liwei, do you want to eat?" Although Taowu was beaten black and blue, he still kept on saying mocking trash words.
"Wow, this guy is quite tough. Hey, give it more strength. I'm not a system if I don't rub off a layer of skin on it today!" The system conjured up a sharp brother's hand gesture in its mind.
System, that's enough. This is not a bathhouse!
Streams of crimson and scarlet light collided with each other in the sky, and Taowu's devilish laughter echoed in the air.
On the ground, Yang Qingyan carried the last teammate to the car and breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Although there is a barrier provided by the boss, the longer it takes, the more dangerous the situation of the companions will be. It is better to leave as soon as possible. Thanking them will take time.
Just as she was about to drive away, a black figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
It's quiet.
He wiped the blood from his mouth, raised his head and looked at Yang Qingyan: "Stay here forever!"
We must not let her go back with any news about Taowu!
Yang Qingyan let out a "ha" and raised her hand to summon a worm. Although she couldn't beat Taowu, she was more than capable of dealing with a nightmare. After all, her S rating wasn't something she got by chance.
After the two energies collided again, Yuheng quickly retreated and distanced himself from Taowu. He landed lightly on the ground, and the white jade bone fan gently closed. From a third-party perspective, Yuheng was very comfortable with the whole process, and even his breathing was not disordered. No one knew that behind the scenes, poor Xiaoji's brain cells were almost being squeezed dry.
Compared to the weird, the demons are obviously smarter, and the skills they use are more difficult to defend against. Mo Xuanji not only has to control the vest to defend against Taowu's attack, but also has to maintain his status as a big boss and not let his personality fall apart. The most critical point is that he still can't kill it quickly. It's not that he can't beat it, it just takes more effort.
As for Taowu on the other side, its situation was worse. It was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground, with flames all over its body. It rolled on the ground for several times before it was barely extinguished. It had a face blackened by smoke, and was filled with fear: Fortunately, this guy still had some conscience and only used ordinary fire. If it had been anything else, I'm afraid it would have died on the spot.
Now both sides were in a state of fatigue, and no one dared to show it. They just stood there stubbornly, trying to intimidate the other side. At this time, Mo Xuanji finally understood why the protagonists in boys' comics would talk nonsense at any time. Just like in this situation, whoever made the first move would fall into a disadvantage, and could only provoke the other side to take action by talking nonsense.
However, at this time Yuheng had no intention of continuing the fight.
"Taowu, stop it. Our goal now should be to unite against the outside world." After the fight just now, it is not difficult to see that Taowu is very strong. Moreover, now is the time when our side needs combat power. If we can subdue this guy, it will definitely be a strong help for them. Even if we face those evil gods in the future, our chances of winning will be greater.
"United against the outside world, with whom?" Taowu seemed to have heard something funny. It pointed its claws at the superpowers below and said, "With these weak humans?"
"After so many years, you still haven't given up that unrealistic fantasy?" It was like a powder keg was lit, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You'd better think it over clearly. You are a demon, not a human. All your decisions can only be for the demon race. Humans are nothing but a burden to us. If they hadn't held us back, how could those evil gods have gotten away with it!"
"All my decisions are for the demon race. Without humans, the demon race's situation will only become more difficult." Yuheng put away the smile on his face and showed a serious expression for the first time.
"Even weak humans can create their own value, and now humans have proved this with their actions. Now that both humans and demons are united against the outside world, not only humans, but also those weak demons have the right to live. This is clearly a win-win situation."
"Taowu, put aside your prejudices and take a good look. The world today is no longer what it was before." If Mo Xuanji wasn't worried about ruining his image, he really wanted to say to him: Sir, times have changed.
Don't be fooled by the fact that some people are eloquent on the surface, but in fact, their brains are full of smoke. Mo Xuanji's CPU is about to be overloaded. He doesn't know the grievances of the past, and can only guess based on the fragments of information revealed by Taowu. The more serious Yuheng's expression is, the more sad Mo Xuanji's expression is.
"Hahahaha... You really haven't changed at all." Taowu covered his face and laughed crazily. After a moment, he slowly put down his hands, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes: "What annoys me most is your sanctimonious look."
In Taowu's eyes, humans are nothing more than delicious food, with nothing good to offer except for being tasty. As for those weak demons? The demon race's survival rule is the law of the jungle, the strong are respected, and the weak are sinful. Those who can't even guarantee the most basic survival have no qualifications to call themselves demons.
Suddenly, it seemed to remember something interesting, and stared at Yuheng with burning eyes: "However, how does it feel to kill your best friend with your own hands? Watching your best friend's life slip away in your hands, that feeling must be wonderful, right? Feng, Huang."
When it spoke the last two words, it deliberately emphasized its voice, uttered each word with pause, and stared at the person in front of it with malice.
Yuheng's expression went blank for a moment.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Mo Xuanji was completely stunned.
What the hell? Who killed whom? Who did Yuheng kill? No, who was the Phoenix? Was it Yuheng?
When Ji Chen heard the call, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Heng with astonishment. His lips were trembling, and Yang Qing Yan caught him and hit him hard. Even so, his eyes were still glued to Yu Heng, without wavering.
For the first time, Mo Xuanji lost control of his expression. He subconsciously called the system. The system seemed to be furious, and forced itself to suppress its anger: "Don't listen to it. Yuheng would never kill his own friends, not to mention that his past experiences were all fabricated."
This sentence seemed to have awakened Mo Xuanji. Yes, Yuheng was a fictional being, a puppet without a past... But why did his heart ache dully, as if his original body had been pierced through the heart?
Yuheng raised the fan to his lips, and raised his lips again, but this time the smile did not reach his eyes. "Since you are so stubborn, there is no need for me to hold back."
For the first time, a fiery red light flashed in those beautiful phoenix eyes.
Taowu laughed again: "Finally you are serious about this."
…
The sword was stuck heavily into the ground, and Shen Liuxue barely stood up holding the sword.
The car was scrapped and was emitting billowing black smoke not far away.
Mo Xuanji was still in a coma, and Zhu Changan used his body to protect him, preventing him from suffering secondary injuries.
"How despicable! They actually used a trap!" Shen Liuxue finally couldn't help cursing. Now three of them were seriously injured, and some were unconscious. Let alone fighting, even running away was a problem.
The man in black robe stretched out his right hand. His nails were like the claws of some ferocious beast, sharp and with hooks, which could easily tear off the skin and flesh of the prey.
"Are you in despair? Hand over the guy in black to me, and maybe I will be kind enough to let you go." Under the hood was a crazy smiling face.
Shen Liuxue's heart sank to the bottom. Sure enough, their target was Xuanji. But why, was there anything in Xuanji that was worth fighting for? She didn't say anything, but the way she held the sword had silently announced her choice.
"You're dreaming, don't even think about it!"
"Okay, okay." The black-robed man suddenly clapped his hands. "A man who values friendship and loyalty like this must be more delicious than ordinary people. It's the same if you eat him first and then take him back to report."
"Leave snow!"
"I know. Come on."
…
In the sea of consciousness, Mo Xuanji looked at two perspectives, one on the left and one on the right, and for the first time, he felt overwhelmed. On one side was a ferocious beast that was likely to continue to cause trouble, and on the other side were his companions who were on the line of life and death. No matter which one, for Mo Xuanji, it was an existence that he could not easily give up. At this moment, he wished he could cut himself in half with a knife.
The system couldn't help but swear.
"What a good time to pick." If it wasn't for being 100% certain that no one else would find out about such a targeted coincidence, the system would have suspected that someone was deliberately targeting them.
Yuheng's attack did not stop, he attacked faster, unconsciously increasing the output rate of energy. He wanted to make a quick decision, but Taowu seemed to have suddenly awakened the soul of the cockroach, becoming extremely resistant to attack, and there was no way to make it lose its ability to move in a short time.
What to do... Before getting rid of Taowu, Yuheng absolutely cannot leave. Not only is he eyeing Taowu's power, but the enemy is also eyeing it. If he lets go now, he will be laying a time bomb for his own side.
But what about his companions? Even if he could regain consciousness for a short time, what could he do with his severely damaged body?
Mo Xuanji managed to stay calm, his mind working rapidly. He suddenly remembered that when he first transformed back into a demon, Yan had given him a feather. When he lit the feather, Yan would sense it and would immediately rush over to take him back to his tribe.
As long as they could light the feather and shake Yan over, the crisis on the main body would be solved. But the companions didn't know where the feather was, and they didn't even have a chance to look for it.
Taowu was already on top of him, staring intently at Yuheng's movements. If he showed any sign of weakness, Taowu would bite his vitals.
"System, can you control my body?" Giving up control of the body, regardless of whether the other party is trustworthy or not, is a big risk for the person. But this is the only solution.
"No!" The system refused without a second thought. It hesitated for a few seconds, and finally made up its mind: "Child, do you want to try soul division?"
"Split soul?"
"Yes, the principle of the Soul Division Technique is to split a part of your soul and control the other body through the connection between the soul fragments. I will protect your soul. A short internal split will not be a big problem, but it will be very painful when the soul is torn apart."
"Jizi, can you bear it?"
"Yes." Mo Xuanji did not hesitate at all. For him, as long as he did not die, it was fine.
The system moved very quickly, and Mo Xuanji only felt a chill in his sea of consciousness, and another perspective suddenly appeared in front of him. Unlike the dual perspectives just now, this time it was like playing a split-screen game on the same phone, with the left hand controlling the main account and the right hand controlling the secondary account.
After a while, as if his nerves finally responded, he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness. It was as if someone was rubbing a rusty saw back and forth across the wound, splitting him in two.
"This is not... ordinary pain..." Mo Xuanji almost couldn't control Yuheng's movements.
The system didn't make a sound. After an unknown amount of time, a warm current flowed into his sea of consciousness, helping to relieve some of the pain. Only then did Mo Xuanji finally have enough energy to control the movements of his main body.
Taowu seized the momentary opportunity and delivered a heavy blow. It laughed loudly, its body trembling with excitement: "Phoenix, I can feel that your authority as a divine beast has long been reduced to one tenth of what it was. I really don't know how you have become like this over the years!"
Zhu Changan spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, he noticed that the person on his back seemed to move.
"Xuanji?"
Mo Xuanji lowered his head and did not respond to his call. Opening both hands was indeed a bit difficult, just like asking the left hand to draw a circle and the right hand to draw a square. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, both sides would still make the same movements uncontrollably.
Perhaps it was because of the split soul, a huge amount of energy continued to surge out of Mo Xuanji's heart. Without time to think, he instinctively mobilized that energy.
The man in black robe was unaware of this. He looked at the unconscious Mo Xuanji with a determination in his eyes.
"Really? If you just hand him over, you won't have to suffer so much, right?"
On Zhu Changan's back, Mo Xuanji slowly opened his eyes. In the shocked eyes of Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan, he slowly floated up and raised one hand, with powerful wind elements flowing through his hand.
The black-robed man's pupils suddenly shrank: "It's the wind, how could it be the wind? This breath..."
Zhu Changan covered a wound on his body with a grin, muttering, "No way, does Xuanji also have hidden powers?"
"Something is not right." A trace of worry flashed across Shen Liuxue's eyes.
Unlike usual, Mo Xuanji's eyes were too cold this time. He was clearly looking forward, but his eyes seemed empty, and nothing could be reflected in his eyes.
Normally, Mo Xuanji gave people the feeling of a burning flame hidden under the ice, but at this moment he was like a whole block of thousand-year-old ice.
The man in black robe no longer had the composure he had at the beginning. He knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling all over, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He couldn't even speak clearly: "I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't know this child was yours..."
"Mo Xuanji" had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand, and his eyes reflected the raging green wind.
"Although I only have one tenth of my strength now, it is more than enough to take care of you."
