too slow.
This was an unintentional but sinister provocation.
Lord Ruyue gently held Dai Luan in her arms, her movements gentle and cautious, as if protecting a small flower torn by the strong wind. But she didn't hug her hard like that. She didn't seem to mind the intensity of the wind.
The newly appeared blade flicked the horizontal knife away, two white lights flashed in front of her eyes, and the two people who exchanged swords retreated. Dai Luan poked her head out of Ru Yuejun's arms and saw an unknown person. He wore a matching black and white straight train, but the hem was shorter than ordinary ones, probably to facilitate movement. There was a dark purple pattern on the fabric, which vaguely flashed as he moved. He wore a curtain hat, which was different from those worn by ordinary girls. The thin black gauze only reaches the shoulders, covering the face firmly. But without thinking too much, Dai Luan was sure that it must be the impermanence of six paths.
Yin and Yang go to the stream, God has no king.
The basis for judgment is the yin-yang scimitar in his hand. The blade of a knife is pitch black, swallowing up all the light it shines on. The sword was engraved with flowers, but Dai Luan could not see it as it moved up and down in his hand. He only felt that there was a small white dot, which should be the white jade embedded in it. The other knife was silver-white, like reflective snow, bright and even a little unnatural. The same goes for the sword and e, which is inlaid with a piece of black jade, which should be black jade. Dai Luan initially thought he was holding a black scimitar in his left hand and a white scimitar in his right hand, but she was wrong. The two knives switched in his hands so quickly that people couldn't even notice that he changed hands. These two lines of black and white were constantly changing their positions, flowing smoothly with every move he made.
It was so fast, so fast that even their eyes could not deceive themselves. Seeing that he was still here at this moment, the person's position clearly did not change the next moment, and the exact same shadow appeared in another place far away. Shanhai guessed that he had seen it wrong, and returned his attention to the original place, only to find that he was no longer there, and even appeared in a third place.
With speed alone, perhaps Tang He could parry it. But after some evaluation, he decided that it wouldn't work - not yet. The power in Kanna-kun's hand was almost without thought, as if he was trying his best with every strike, but he could never guess how much strength he had left. It's like a steady stream of gurgling water, but the waves are like turbulent waves. He had to engage all his senses.
I don't know if the two knives are made of completely different materials, or if they are similar materials and use different processes. Their structures are not the same, and the sounds they make when hitting their knives are also different. Tang He heard an unnatural hum coming from his horizontal sword, and he immediately stopped. He recognized this sound, and if he didn't withdraw it, the old knife would break it into pieces for him.
The judgment is correct. Tang He retreated a foot, and a deep ravine was opened on the ground in front of him by the sword energy. The ground here is relatively soft, let alone rocks, even a piece of pig iron can be beaten to pieces. He kicked in the air, Kanna-kun bent down, and Tang He's legs brushed against the blades of his swords. However, Tang He's intention was not to cause any harm to him - it was to use the toe of his shoe to hook off his curtain.
"Mysterious!"
The curtain hat spun and flew out, drawing a black arc in the air, and was firmly caught by Lord Ruyue.
Looking at Kanna-kun again, he didn't seem to be panicking at all. He was still calm and calm, and he didn't even take a breath after a set of sword skills. His back was facing them, and his long tan hair was tied low into a thin strand, with the ends hanging around his waist. He looked like an ordinary person. He was taller than Tang He, but not as tall as Shi Wuqi, and there was nothing outstanding about his physique. But Dai Luan noticed that Tang He's expression showed a little surprise for a moment. If it were a decisive battle, he would be very careful to hide all his emotions, and would have no time to make other expressions. But now they have stopped, and what he sees now allows him to be more arrogant in managing his expression.
So, what did he see?
Kanna-kun glanced back and confirmed that his curtain hat was with Kisaragi-kun. Lord Ruyue held the brim of his hat and waved to him, signaling that he could rest assured. But this time, it was Dai Luan and others' turn to be surprised.
Kanna-kun's eyes - indeed, they belong to the six realms of impermanence. There is a slender, golden crescent moon in each of the pupils, glowing with a full glow. But the pupils were white, as pure and flawless as snow and clouds. The golden three-sun-moon ring is embedded outside the white circle, surrounding it.
The part that should be the whites of the eyes is jet black, with a slight cold sheen. The color here should belong to the pupils, but in his eyes, black and white were replaced, like looking up at the vast skylight under two dark dry wells.
Lord Ruyue felt Dai Luan's momentary stagnation, and said in a harmonious voice: "Kanna-kun is like that. At first glance, it is a bit scary...but it's nothing, you just get used to it. His way of harmonizing yin and yang is different from that of ordinary people. That’s the difference.”
Tang He has never encountered such an opponent, at least not in the human world, not in the human category. A somewhat familiar conversation emerged in his mind, which he had with Lord Kotsutsuki a long time ago.
"Among your colleagues, who do you think is stronger than you?"
"What, are you itchy? This question makes me feel that you are looking down on me. Do you dare to fight with me? Well... forget it, it's not interesting. From my point of view, the six realms of impermanence are all general. For now, the only people who can fight with me are Gu Jia Qianlong and Yin Yang Xiangjian. A crazy martial arts disciple who has gone crazy, and a... weirdo who seems human but not human."
A weirdo who looks like a human but not a human being.
Or monster.
He took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure. But he was wrong, he shouldn't have done it. When you inhale, the alveoli become dry and cannot be filled and expanded by air, as if they are hardened. It feels like a person who is deprived of oxygen. No matter how hard he breathes, he cannot completely sink the required gas into his lungs, and he only feels difficult to breathe.
Miasma, miasma everywhere... He thought of Lord Kisaragi's medicine, but now was not the time to use it. From his point of view, he didn't even know what the woman had in mind. Doesn’t she not want herself to get Wanguizhi? It's hard to tell if it's poisonous inside.
Looking back at Shen Wujun, Tang He simply doubted whether he was breathing during the fight. He controlled the rhythm of the battle very well and his breath was very steady. And that weapon...
"Take them away."
Kanna-kun's voice was nothing special, just a little hollow, like a low hum coming from a distant mountain stream, but his words were fast and short, not sloppy at all, making people feel that every word he said was the key point.
Lord Ruyue took Aluan with him to lead the other two people away. Mu Wan asked: "Where to go?"
"Xun Palace." Lord Ruyue asked, "Don't you want to go out?"
"We are coming to find you." Shanhai said.
"Then we have to go to Dumen. Don't stay in the evil gate for too long or your life will be shortened."
Tang He must have wanted to stop them, but Kanna-kun's sword didn't think so.
On the way, several people took the medicine given to them by Lord Kisaragi. It couldn't be said to be refreshing, after all, they were still walking through the miasma. But they did feel that their throats were much moister, and the smell of the air was not so strange-although it was somewhat accustomed to it. This potion makes people feel better, but if it weren't for it, it might be difficult for the person living in it to notice that they have become "worse."
Rin Shanhai explained clearly to Lord Ruyue why they came here, how they came here, why they were looking for her... all of this. She still doesn't know the condition of the tengu. She can only judge after leaving this place. As for the Gu worms in Xie Hualing's body, Ruyue Jun said so.
"Wouldn't it be better to go find the Shadow Pavilion?"
"...If you are willing to go there, who would go through all the trouble to find you!"
Dai Luan complained angrily, Ru Yuejun smiled and patted her head, and then said:
"I'm not kidding. It is often said that medicine and poison come from the same source...but there are still many differences between medicine and poison. The methods I can give you treat the symptoms but not the root cause. There is no guarantee that something will go wrong in the future, and then you will blame me again. You are such a dog, I also suggest you go and ask Gao Yuejun to take a look, nothing I say will count."
"We... are not very confident about Satsuki-kun." Shan Hai sighed and said, "I have also dealt with her head-on. Although I don't think there is anything wrong with her personally, all of her men are difficult to deal with."
"And she seems to be with Lord Xueyue." Mu Wan added. She really didn't want to send the Tengu to the party that was responsible for hurting it.
Lord Ruyue explained patiently: "I can understand what you think. Back then, Lord Gaoyue used his body to feed Gu and transformed into a Gu pool. He didn't have much affection for his fellow human beings, but he was full of love and hatred for millions of people in the world. Interested. After her body was hollowed out, her soul wandered in the world, and her name was not in the book of life and death. Lord Xueyue thought that this human being was a bit strange, so when he brought it to the adult, she became the Six Paths Impermanence, and she was considered a person. Destination. Ultimately, I think she just didn’t understand all these things and wanted to understand them, so she established the Death Shadow Pavilion. Monsters can be said to be complex or simple, and her subordinates are loyal. It is not inconsistent with possessing the nature of a demon.”
Mu Wan still didn't quite understand what she meant: "You want to say..."
"Don't look for those five people, look for her herself. As long as she proposes an exchange condition that she is interested in, the problem will be solved. Well, if you leave Dumen, you will be very close to Qinglize."
"We have to wait for Wu Qi to follow." Dai Luan frowned, "We don't want to lose him again. And since Ah Qi is not with him, we suspect that he is locked out."
Mu Wan agreed and felt that it was necessary for them to go back and take a break.
"Is that so? Speaking of which, Lord Jiyue is nearby. This unusual movement may attract him to come and meet you."
"Really?" Dai Luan rolled her eyes, "We haven't seen him for a long time. But I felt strange at the beginning. This barrier isolates all evil spirits, and its miasma causes ordinary people to slowly lose their lives. So It seems that apart from suppressing the Desolate Skeletons, it seems to be specially used for the Six Paths."
Lord Ruyue let out that gentle yet gloomy laugh again, as if expressing praise.
Shanhai, who has always been at the front, walked very slowly this time. He walked slowly behind, suddenly stopped, and called to Kisaragi-kun. There was a question in his mind that he had not spoken out since just now. This question may also be on the minds of the other two girls, but they haven't found the opportunity to speak yet.
He should ask this question now.
"Your Excellency Ruyue... I apologize for being rude. Since I mentioned the Nine Palaces and Bagua Array, I will say a few more words. Its layout and considerations made me feel familiar at first. It was only when I mentioned Lord Gaoyue that I thought about it. This cloth Faji is in line with the style of Death Shadow Pavilion. You seem to have a good impression of them."
"good."
Lord Kisaragi nodded and waited for his next question.
"And...you just mentioned that you actually know that Wangui is here."
"Yes."
She still answered him briefly, which made Shan Hai a little confused. But he still collected his thoughts and continued.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Liangyue-kun, why don't you tell him?"
"Because someone didn't want him to know."
