Chapter 490 It's You
"This is the only undead race I have ever seen that is so weak. Please report to the guards."
However, at this moment, the guard who had just called her name outside suddenly came in and said, "My king, the guard department just reported that they are now fully staffed!"
He raised his eyes and looked carefully at the king in front of him, feeling very conflicted.
"Full?"
"……yes."
The black-robed man thought for a moment and said, "Well, I am still short of a personal bodyguard. It would be troublesome to go to the guard office to choose one, so I'll choose you."
"What? What? Why is it me?"
Hua Yang looked at the legendary king in front of her in a daze, and hurriedly spoke out the words she had prepared before.
"Wait, I've only just taken human form, and my strength is low, so I'm not really suitable to be your personal bodyguard. How about I go back and practice for another two years before applying again?"
"My supply palace can provide a more concentrated dead energy than outside. Why? Isn't it faster than your cultivation outside?"
Hua Yang even felt that the strong sense of oppression in the black cloak was about to crush her.
"How dare you! Which clan are you from? Tell me your name! The king is looking up to you to be his personal guard, but you are so ungrateful."
The guard in front of him was at least at the initial stage of the universe level, and this king was even more so. Judging from the invisible pressure, although his exact strength could not be felt, he was at least at the second level of the god of war level.
Let’s stabilize the two people at present first and then think about the future. “…Yes.”
Hua Yang lowered her head and clenched her teeth, but suddenly smelled a bloody smell coming from the position of the black-robed king in front of her.
The smell of blood... The undead are not made of flesh and blood, so how can they smell of blood? What's going on?
However, before she could smell the scent again, the black-robed king had disappeared into his chambers, leaving only Hua Yang and the guard there.
Hua Yang was a little confused. He was leaving now? What should she do? So she looked at the guard beside her.
However, the guards were also a little confused at the moment. The king's mood had become increasingly unpredictable recently. Didn't he let two tribesmen off before... Why did he let this one off so easily?
He turned and looked at the female tribesman in front of him.
It has human-shaped skeletons, but its entire body is filled with the purest breath of the dead land.
Although this strength is a bit weak...
Could it be because of his weak strength? With such little strength, the king doesn't think highly of him...?
Oh no, if this is the case, will the king think that he is not doing his job well, and then he will suffer in the end?
Before he could think about it, Hua Yang suddenly turned around and left. Is this guard a fool? Why does he look even more helpless than himself, and even looks like he wants to cry but has no tears?
However, the black-robed king appeared again, and the guard's legs softened and he fell to the ground, "King, you, you listen to me..."
The next second, Hua Yang felt dizzy and was surrounded by a familiar energy.
Black energy…although it has been modified, it looks very similar to the death energy, the "specialty" of the Dead Silence Land. If anyone in the Dead Silence Land sees it, most people will not doubt it.
But Hua Yang recognized this energy at a glance.
Devouring power.
"Is it you?" If she were to name the person in this dead place who had the power of devouring, there was only one person.
"I was wondering why you left without saying goodbye. Where did you go? Oh, and how did you become the king of the Land of Death? You..."
The black-robed king paused, and the two of them instantly came to the bone-burning throne in the martial arts arena. Hua Yang instantly lifted the dark hood with one hand, "It's not like I haven't seen your skull before, stop pretending!"
At the same time, the devouring force suddenly surrounded the two of them.
"you!"
"hiss!"
Xing Lie looked at the undead man in front of him, who was neither human nor ghost, and there was danger in his eyes. The devouring power surrounded Hua Yang's entire body and imprisoned her.
Hua Yang felt that the vitality energy that she had finally recovered was being devoured bit by bit.
"Aren't you from the Undead Clan?"
He frowned and looked at the person in front of him, "Are you human?"
Hua Yang struggled violently but failed to break free from the devouring force in front of her, and her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.
Sword-like eyebrows and eagle eyes, his facial features are like a sculpture carved with a knife. "You are so beautiful, why do you have such a bad temper? I just recognized the wrong person. Let me go!"
But the other party not only did not let go, but the devouring power overflowed more violently and restrained her. "Who are you?"
In just a few seconds, most of the vitality in Hua Yang's body disappeared, and it was still disappearing. If this continued, her appearance, which she had worked so hard to create, would disappear again.
It’s not easy to grow your own muscles, bones, and tendons!
"Let go! Ahem."
Hua Yang felt her skin tissue gradually disappearing, slowly revealing her blood-red muscle fibers and veins all over her body, but she was still struggling.
"You're destroying my life, I'm going to fight you!"
As she spoke, a cluster of sun fire rose from her eyes and shot straight towards Xing Lie's face. While he was in a trance, she wanted to break free immediately and retreat to a safe distance.
However, Xing Lie was distracted for only a moment, and then a fierceness appeared in his eyes. A lightning energy gathered in his devouring power, and was about to fall on Hua Yang.
However, what made Hua Yang most uncomfortable was that the devouring power enveloped her surroundings, and she felt like she was in a dark maze and couldn't get out.
"I just recognized the wrong person. Is it necessary to kill him so ruthlessly?"
This visit to the Land of Death must not be spread outside, and anyone who has seen him must not survive.
Hua Yang tried her best to dodge and avoided the place where the lightning fell. She narrowly avoided the lightning, but fell into the opponent's hands again.
The devouring power, the lightning ability, and the familiar face in front of her all stimulated her senses deep in her soul.
However, the missing soul consciousness has not yet been restored. No matter how familiar she is with the person in front of her, she just can't remember who he is.
The slender fingers pinched the slender neck, leaving only the cervical vertebrae, and the devouring power was still devouring the life of the person in front of him.
At this moment, if he exerted a little more force, the cervical vertebra in his hand would break.
"Let me go!" The desire to survive exploded in Hua Yang's heart. She was not breathing, and her heart was not beating. She was just anxious in the depths of her soul.
This devouring power was much stronger than the supernatural power of the man she knew. If she were to be crushed by him at this moment, the devouring power would suck away all her vitality.
By then, how would he have the chance to devour his own kind again to advance and repair his body?
However, as her vitality drained away, she suddenly lost all strength. She could originally release the true fire of the sun, but now she only released a wisp of gray smoke.
Death, death, I’m really going to die this time.
How could she die like this!
She was so anxious that she couldn't even cry.
But the black-robed king in front of her suddenly frowned in pain, and the hand that was pinching her neck loosened slightly.
Hua Yang seized the opportunity and kicked the opponent's leg below the waist.
The opponent dodged slightly and the kick only hit his thigh.
But it's enough.
She used this force to retreat dozens of meters. Although she was still surrounded by the devouring power, she was some distance away from the dangerous person in front of her.
"Who are you?" Xing Lie frowned in pain and covered his left atrium with one hand.
"You don't know who I am, but you want to kill me. Are you a murderer?" As she said this, she tried to contact Jinwu and ask it to come and save her.
However, this damn devouring power could actually block the soul connection, and she lost contact with the Golden Crow.
"Why do I feel...heartbroken when I want to kill you?"
Xing Lie himself was puzzled. This skeleton in front of him looked neither human nor immortal, so why was he unable to do anything about it?
Hua Yang looked at the black-robed king in front of him speechlessly, "Heartbroken?" Is this man having a heart problem? "Since you can't do it, why don't you let me go? Anyway, I don't have any strength or supernatural powers. Even if you suck me dry, you won't gain much strength."
Xing Lie calmed down, loosened his hands covering his chest, and a hint of teasing appeared on his pale face. "Oh? What if I don't want to?"
Hua Yang choked, "You are so powerful, what's the point of killing me? What hatred do I have against you?"
"You saw what I looked like." He had given up the thought of killing the person in front of him. Instead, he became curious about the sudden heartache he felt when he was about to kill her.
"Isn't being handsome meant to be seen by others? Besides, you are not from the Immortal Clan, and neither am I. Can't we just not hurt each other? Isn't it okay to develop peacefully and each take what they need?
A grown man, narrow-minded, always shouting for war and killing..." Xing Lie's momentum became more fierce as Hua Yang muttered.
"Shut up."
"Me! I won't tell you, why are all the Xing family members so weird?"
"How do you know I'm from the Xing family?"
"The Xing family is the only one who possesses both the Devouring Power and the Lightning Energy. Do you think it is so easy to awaken the Devouring Energy?"
"Oh, you're right. Someone who possesses these two abilities at the same time can only be a member of the Xing family.
But there are only a handful of people in the Land of Death who know this, and it is definitely not you who know this. Tell me, how do you know this? "
Seeing the other party's gloomy face, Hua Yang suddenly laughed and said, "Ha, what a coincidence, I happen to know two members of the Xing family."
"oh?"
"What's even more coincidental is that these two members of the Xing family happen to be able to devour superpowers."
"What are the names of the two people you are talking about?"
When asked this question, Hua Yang was stunned.
That guy who left without saying goodbye, she had been with her for so long and she never asked his name! How could this be? He said he knew a skeleton, and it had determined the power of devouring since the will-o'-the-wisp stage?
She herself thought this was ridiculous.
As for the other person, who she had a vague impression of, he had lightning powers, devouring powers, and even dark powers. However, she couldn't remember what he looked like, what his name was, and what his relationship with her was.
"Well, if I say I don't know their names, would you believe me?"
"..." The black devouring power spread towards her again, and she shouted anxiously, "I have lost many memories since I awakened from the abyss of the dead land.
How can a person with a damaged soul remember so much? "
"Oh? You awakened in the Land of Death? Unheard of!"
"Just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist! But I swear I'm not lying! The man from the Xing family awakened in the abyss of the Land of Death hundreds of years earlier than me, and when we fought more than half a year ago, he awakened the power of devouring. I saw it with my own eyes, but for people like us who rely on repairing our bodies and souls, our soul consciousness is incomplete, so it's normal for us to not remember the past. If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. I have nothing to say!
I am not as strong as you now, so you can kill me if you want. I have died twice before, so why should I be afraid of dying again!"
A flash of thunder suddenly flashed in Xing Lie's clear eyes. A human being who came back from the dead? Could she be the same person in his memory that always made him heartbroken?
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
"But you said there was another person? How much do you remember?" He said he didn't believe it, but for some reason his uncontrollable instinct made him want to know more about the hall.
"I don't remember!" Hua Yang sat down on the ground as if in a huff, looking like a rogue.
If it were to fully recover its human form, it might still look a little cute.
However, the sight of the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground really made him laugh.
"Don't remember?" He pretended to be serious, and the black devouring power moved towards her, "Then think about it now."
Hua Yang paused, "It has been five years since I woke up. I haven't remembered anyone or anything in the past five years. What's the use of thinking about it now?"
Hua Yang looked at him as if he were a fool, but she saw a flash of panic in his eyes.
"Five years...you said it's been five years since you woke up?"
"Hua Yang nodded. It has indeed been more than five years since I could remember."
However, the next second, the words spoken by the man in black robe instantly shook Hua Yang's soul.
"Diandian is seven years old too."
The indifferent tone of the words made Hua Yang want to cry. Fortunately, a skeleton can't cry, and it doesn't look like a skeleton has any sad expression.
Dot dot...
She couldn't help but wonder whether the person in front of her was the one whose impression and memory were so vague in her mind.
But what impressed her more deeply was the scene before her death when the Haicheng Villa and she and her family were besieged by the major families of the Ancient Universe Kingdom.
It's not surprising that someone from the ancient universe knows a little bit.
After her death, five god-level space fragments were transferred to the Tree of Life. Those people could not get the fragments and were likely to make a comeback.
All she had to do was stay alert until she was actually resurrected and returned to Earth.
The person in front of me is very familiar, and it is very likely that he is the person in my memory. However, many things will change after so many years?
She doesn't know.
The devouring power around her dissipated. Hua Yang felt the energy that was suppressing her was removed, and she immediately ran away.
Xing Lie didn't expect that the person in front of him would turn around and run away as soon as his devouring power was withdrawn.
Wasn't he making it clear enough? Did she really not remember, or was this not her at all?
Hua Yang ran towards the road she had come from when she came to the Buliao Palace. At the end, she saw the huge fiery body of the Golden Crow waiting outside.
"Golden Crow!"
Xing Lie, who was standing behind him, saw the huge bird and raised his lips.
The seemingly hollow bone gaps of the Bone Liao Palace suddenly closed at this moment, and the entire palace became a closed space.
