Chapter 896: Neither Existence nor Non-Existence (II)
Yun’an Temple.
There are broken walls and ruins everywhere.
The cold moonlight fell on a man and a Buddha, and the silver glow lightly dyed the surroundings desolate.
He clenched Longquan tightly with both hands, and drops of blood dripped from between his fingers.
Countless broken swords were scattered all over the ground. The dying Zhulong and Huanglong were crawling among the rocks not far away, their huge bodies trembling slightly.
Three hours, six hours.
Wei Changtian's eyes had already turned blood red, and his clothes were in tatters.
During these six hours, he had tried all the methods he could, but still could not defeat the golden Buddha in front of him.
Oh, except God Strike.
It’s not that Wei Changtian was reluctant to part with the system points, but that he couldn’t use them at all.
The reason was the same as the last time when he "beheaded Yama Luo" in Fengyuan - he was unable to lock on the target.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, this true Buddha is the product of an illusion and is not real.
And a divine strike certainly cannot kill something that does not exist in the first place.
Logically, this makes sense.
But this made it difficult for Wei Changtian. He stared at the tall golden figure in front of him, his legs shaking due to exhaustion.
Wei Changtian could feel that he had reached the point where his energy was running out, and now even breathing required all his strength.
He now finally understood that his power could not exceed the upper limit of this illusion array.
This also means that he will never be able to break the formation by relying on brute force.
Not being able to break the formation isn’t a big problem.
Anyway, I have the Qingjue Jade Pendant. As long as the Golden Buddha "kills" me, I can use the jade pendant to escape.
But the former seemed to be intentionally avoiding this from happening. He had several opportunities to kill himself before, but he stopped at the last moment.
It was obvious that the old beggar didn't want to escape by himself.
He was going to kill himself today.
Fuck it Slowly closing his eyes, Wei Changtian felt a sense of despair for the first time.
Including the Qingjue Jade Pendant, all life-saving items in this world have an "inexplicable" limitation, which is that they cannot offset the fatal attack from the holder "himself".
To put it bluntly, these treasures can save lives, but cannot be used to "prevent suicide."
Wei Changtian was not sure about the reason, but in short, such a restriction prevented him from triggering the Qingjue Jade Pendant by "punching himself".
The same goes for Ning Yongnian, Yan Huanwen and others who died before.
The life-saving props on these big shots were no less than Wei Changtian's, but unfortunately Wei Changtian was too cautious. He always controlled people first and then killed them, causing them to die with hatred in the end.
Such a "powerless" way of dying is undoubtedly hopeless.
It’s just that before this, it was others, one’s own enemies, who were in despair.
And now, I am the one who is desperate.
Slowly opening his eyes and looking at the golden Buddha that was like an insurmountable mountain, Wei Changtian slowly put the Longquan Sword back into the Starry Sword Sheath.
Now he can no longer swing a single sword.
However, he knew that this golden Buddha would not attack him again.
As an illusory shadow, this golden Buddha is undoubtedly incapable of performing a "body search".
Otherwise, it would have snatched away the life-saving props from me and then slapped me to death.
Therefore, its task should only be to beat itself half to death, and then let others complete the final blow of "search and kill".
And this person must be a real person.
Looking up at the night sky, Wei Changtian didn't know who the old beggar was going to send into the formation to do this.
It could be the unknown Son of Heaven, it could be a small follower, or it could be the old beggar himself.
Anyway, no matter who it is, they should be here by now. At the same time, in a private house not far from Yun'an Temple.
The candlelight in the room was not very bright, and was not even brighter than the moonlight in reflecting the faces of the old and the young.
"Go ahead."
At a certain moment, the old beggar sitting on the mat slowly opened his eyes and uttered the first words in three hours.
“It’s time.”
“.”
With his eyes slightly widened, the young man who had been guarding the old beggar asked hastily: "Godfather, Wei Changtian..."
"Well, he's at the end of his rope."
The old beggar nodded slightly, his face showing fatigue. "Remember, don't talk to him after you enter the formation. Just search him and kill him as quickly as possible."
"No matter what he says, don't listen to his instigation."
"It is very likely that we will only have this one chance."
"Kill him, and all the luck and fortune in him will be yours."
".Don't worry, godfather, I will be back soon."
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Although the young man didn't know what was happening in the illusion array, he believed the old beggar's words very much, so he stood up and prepared to kill Wei Changtian.
But just before he was about to push the door open, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
“Don’t let me down.”
“.”
Don't let me down.
There is no doubt that since Wei Changtian was no longer able to fight back, the old beggar was not worried that the young man would fail.
Therefore, this sentence can only be a warning.
"Godfather."
The young man paused, he understood the meaning clearly.
He turned around and looked at the old beggar, and said very seriously: "I will never betray you."
"Then go ahead."
"yes!"
"Squeak~"
The door opened and closed, and the room soon returned to silence.
Then the next moment, the old beggar suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his expression changed from previous calm to somewhat ferocious.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"I originally wanted to keep you to help me kill a few more Sons of Heaven, what a pity."
"That's it, it's pretty good."
“.”
The cold soliloquy echoed in the room, and the candlelight in the corner was dim for a moment.
It sounded like the old beggar initially planned to wait until Wei Changtian had killed enough Sons of Heaven and plundered enough luck before "catching them all in one swoop" and killing Wei Changtian to take away all his luck.
The reason why he chose not to wait any longer was probably because Wei Changtian had already discovered his identity, so he had no choice but to "close the net" in advance.
Just as the old beggar said, although it was a pity, the harvest was enough.
The only thing is that he now has to control the illusion array, so he can't kill the people himself, so he can only send the young man.
This also means that the old beggar will have to do one more thing sooner or later in order to gather all the good fortune of heaven upon himself. "Hehe."
With a sneer, he glanced through the window at the figure who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.
"I and you are like father and son, so please don't let me down."
"Come back soon."
