Chapter 58 I have been retreating all my life, but this time... I won't retreat
The outsider Fang Heng mistakenly believed that the reason he knew him so well was because of the Qinglian Pupil.
These were all things that Lu Chen had planned long ago.
You should know that before this time, Lu Chen had actually forced the outsider Fang Heng to reveal his true identity many times.
But every time it came to this step, Lu Chen would always be one step behind and unfortunately lose to the outsider Fang Heng.
Because the body of the heretic Fang Heng at this stage is really too powerful.
He was so powerful that even if Lu Chen attacked with all his strength, he could only seriously injure him but could not truly defeat him.
Therefore, Lu Chen began to change his strategy from then on, thinking about how to kill the outsider Fang Heng before he revealed his true identity.
Or it could weaken his strength after he reveals his true identity.
As for the former, Lu Chen tried to attack Fang Heng with all his strength as soon as he entered the door.
But the result is that once he does this, the evil sword Chiwei will directly take Fang Heng's body in one fell swoop out of the instinct for survival.
And immediately activated the second stage to suppress Lu Chen.
Therefore, if there was a head-on confrontation right from the start, Lu Chen would have almost no chance of winning.
So what he could do was to weaken the outer path Fang Heng as much as possible, or to weaken the strength of the evil sword Chiwei.
He used himself as bait and severely damaged the evil sword Akao in one fell swoop.
This is the solution that Lu Chen figured out.
Although in this process, his own strength will also be affected.
In comparison, the evil sword Akao was affected more greatly.
In this way, the gap between him and the evil sword Akao was undoubtedly further narrowed.
After several attempts, Lu Chen determined that the latter was the best solution.
On the second floor of Jian Ge, Lu Chen looked at the sword snake Red Tail whose head was about to touch the ceiling.
He knew that he just had to survive Akao's rampage for the next period of time.
Then the chance to win that he had been waiting for for so long... was about to come.
Because he is not fighting alone! Although Akao looks imposing at this moment, he is actually in a desperate situation.
Because it has revealed its true form as an outsider, it has used up all of its outsider power.
As a result, he could no longer suppress the will that originally belonged to Fang Heng within his body.
If it cannot defeat Lu Chen in a short period of time, then it will lose in the battle of wills with Fang Heng, and will be occupied by Fang Heng again.
At that moment, Akao couldn't bear to think about what would happen.
Given Fang Heng's stubbornness, he will probably die bravely when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Akao no longer held back and attacked with all his strength.
Time...is not on his side.
At the same time, Lu Chen took a deep breath as he looked at the huge red-tailed beast that was attacking him fiercely.
His eyes became firm, because time... was on his side! Bang! As Akao and Lu Chen exerted their strength at the same time, a battle even more brutal than before began.
On the open space on the second floor of Jiange, Akao relied on his huge body to launch fierce attacks.
Its tail was like a giant sword, and every time it fell, it would cause the entire second floor to shake violently.
Although this attack is far less fast than the humanoid one at the beginning.
But in the small area on the second floor of Jiange, such a large-scale attack made it difficult for Lu Chen to avoid it.
If you are not careful, you will be killed by its tail.
One sentence can describe the current situation of Lu Chen and Akao.
That is, Akao can make countless mistakes, but Lu Chen... can only make one mistake.
But what made Akao feel uneasy was that even when he tried his best, Lu Chen was still able to constantly avoid his attacks.
And during this gap, he can fight back many times.
Where on earth did this Qi training guy come from? Seeing that he couldn't defeat Lu Chen for a long time, and the pain in his mind.
Akao knew that he didn't have much time left.
If it delays any further, it will surely die!
"roar!"
Akao roared, and a large amount of red poisonous mist emanated from its fangs.
As an ancient spiritual sword made from a thousand-year-old poisonous python.
The real power of Akao lies in its deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood.
This poison can not only paralyze the monk's body, but also corrode the monk's spiritual power to a certain extent.
It has a strong inhibitory effect on most monks.
Not to mention that it is only used to deal with a small Qi training cultivator.
But because he fell into Lu Chen's trap at the beginning, Chiwei had to give up one arm.
As a result, it only had one of its two fangs that could be used to release poisonous mist.
As a result, the poisonous fog that could have spread rapidly throughout the entire second floor of Jiange could only spread at a slower speed, and its toxicity was greatly reduced.
Although this move seems unsolvable, it actually has a huge flaw.
Because at this time Akao...can't move!
Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer chose to dodge, but rushed towards the poisonous fog.
"The opportunity...is fleeting."
Roar! Accompanied by the iconic dragon roar, Lu Chen, who had been accumulating strength, completely exploded.
His figure kept moving, and every time he accelerated, he would leave an afterimage in the original place.
After several encounters, he suddenly rushed into Akao's poisonous fog.
Looking at Lu Chen who took the initiative to rush into the poisonous fog, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Akao's face.
But the next second, the smile on his face disappeared.
Because a large amount of purple flames came out of Lu Chen's body.
Although these flames could not dispel the surrounding poisonous fog, they could prevent the poisonous fog from easily touching Lu Chen.
It was this detail that allowed Lu Chen to cross the poisonous fog and reach Chiwei.
Looking at Lu Chen's cold eyes in mid-air, Chiwei felt the threat of death for no reason.
With no way out, Akao went completely crazy.
"Do you think you can kill me like this, you arrogant boy!!!"
Chiwei roared angrily, and then prepared to bite Lu Chen directly, with a fierce look on his face.
It didn't believe that its powerful outer body couldn't withstand Lu Chen's sword! And if Lu Chen was bitten by it, he would definitely die!
But just as Akao was about to take action, it suddenly discovered that the space around it... had changed.
It turned into a void of white space.
"Xiao Chi, this... should all end."
Chiwei turned his head and found that Fang Heng, who had disappeared for a long time, was standing next to him at some point.
He turned into his original spirit sword, floating in the void space.
And now Fang Heng no longer looked like the ugly zombie, but had returned to his original gentle and humble self in Qingyun Sect.
Looking at Fang Heng like this, Chiwei felt inexplicably angry.
"End? You want me to end it like this?"
"Fang Heng, you take yourself too seriously!"
"If I hadn't followed a cowardly waste like you, even if I died, I wouldn't have died in such a miserable way in the Sword Pavilion. Instead, I should have fought a desperate battle with the evil heretic at the last moment like the other spirit swords."
"In this case, I can say that I died a worthy death!"
"But how did you do it? You actually hid in the Sword Pavilion and didn't dare to go out. Even your death in the end was so miserable, being killed by the residual power of someone else's sword. Your death was unclear."
"You are like this, what qualifications do you have to let me end this!"
"Not only do I not want this to end, I will also break out of Jian Ge and kill him to pieces."
"I just want to tell you that a sword cultivator's destiny is definitely not to wait for death in one place!"
"You are a coward who has never dared to see blood in his life. Why do you have the right to control me?"
Facing the furious spirit sword Red Tail, Fang Heng simply listened to it gently as it expressed its inner resentment without refuting.
That gentle smile is like a kind parent who patiently listens to his child's rebelliousness.
He was not angry, but... just an indescribable tolerance.
After Chiwei vented his anger, Fang Heng finally spoke.
"I know, Xiao Chi, it was all my fault in the beginning. I was indeed too cowardly..."
Fang Heng walked up to Akao, smiled and touched the Akao sword that was floating in the air.
"The master said that if I was afraid, I should retreat behind him, so I did."
"My senior brothers and sisters told me that if I was afraid, I should retreat behind them, and I did so."
"But as I was walking back, I realized that everyone standing in front of me...had disappeared."
"During the time I was hiding in Jian Ge, I actually asked myself more than once, if Jian Ge is gone, where else can I retreat to?"
“And this question finally had an answer the moment I woke up again and saw Fellow Daoist Lu.”
"Xiao Chi, you and I are both members of the Qingyun Sect after all, so we shouldn't cause trouble to other disciples anymore."
"I've been retreating all my life, but this time... I'm not retreating."
"If you're scared, Xiao Chi, then it's your turn to hide behind me this time... As long as you don't see blood, you won't be scared."
Hearing this, Akao fell silent.
After a long moment, Akao spoke again.
Only this time, its tone was no longer full of complaints, but an indescribable helplessness.
"Idiot, idiot, you are such an idiot, what's wrong with being an outsider, what's wrong with being a demon, isn't it good to be alive!"
Fang Heng smiled, and his smile was very free and easy.
"But the ones that Master and the brothers protect are never evil demons, right?"
"And if it was just the blood of a demon, then I wouldn't be afraid now... maybe."
Seeing that Fang Heng had made up his mind, Chiwei seemed too lazy to refute.
"Okay, okay, meeting you... is bad luck for me, I don't care anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng directly grasped the hilt of Chiwei's sword and said softly: "Until now... I'm sorry for having wronged you."
"Didn't you say you've never seen blood? Well, this time, you can see it."
As he said that, Fang Heng raised the sword and thrust it fiercely into his body.
Looking at the blood flowing from Akao's body, Fang Heng smiled and said, "It turns out that the blood of this evil demon...is not so scary after all."
Slowly, Fang Heng's soul began to break apart.
On his deathbed, Fang Heng looked up at the sky and said softly, "My fellow ancestors... I, Fang Heng, can be considered to be fighting against demons and defending the Way at this moment."
"So... I shouldn't have embarrassed the ancestors."
"After all, I, your disciple...really tried my best."
