"I know, I -" Qi Huan stumbled, "I think one code equals the other..."
"It's not that simple. Every magical weapon is sophisticated and complex, and its use is by no means easy. For someone like Bai Shaoxia to risk his life, he is really lucky to come back alive! In order to prevent the evil god from having any room to counterattack, I agree. Bai Shaoxia."
Lord Yingyue also has the world in mind. Although it doesn't sound good to say this, it is right after all, and it is difficult for Qi Huan to refute. What's more, he also knew in his heart that Bai Sha would die here, and Bai Ya had no reason to let Chu Tianhe go, both in public and private matters. Rather, if he himself had compassion for the priest, he would need more courage to take action.
Surprisingly, Chu Tianhe didn't care. He adjusted his breathing and calmly said words that were extremely cold to him:
"I have indeed done many wrong things, many things that I know are harmful to nature. I have lived too long, and I still don't feel any loss until now. Now it's just... the time has come to pay the price, that's it. A tasteless life. , I do find it boring. Even if I live, there will be nothing more worth looking forward to. It’s not a loss to pass away like this. Just think of it as what I owe you, father and son... and pay it off. There. Before, I had something I wanted to say to...Miss Liu."
Liu Shenghan was a little surprised when his name was mentioned. She looked at the others and knelt down hesitantly.
"You say."
"Do you...still care who killed you?"
"Can't you see it?" Liu Shenghan smiled bitterly.
"You have known it for a long time... I saw that you were so obsessed with the truth of the matter, but I didn't expect that after I said it, you immediately stopped caring and started to focus on the matter in front of you. You live so freely and freely, it is indeed It’s something I didn’t expect.”
"Well, I just want to know the answer." She frowned and smiled, "This method is indeed something I didn't expect. The only thing I guessed was that the poison was indeed related to the Nine Heavens Kingdom, and I never thought it was a kind of medicine. I clearly knew this truth, but I didn’t think about it; I didn’t even expect that the source was actually the God of Incense. If I had agreed to work for him and knew the recipe for the soul-returning incense, I might have known it long ago. But if he asks me to re-elect him, I’m afraid I still won’t agree to it.”
"Why?"
"Don't I still know?" She said lightly, "Because I am alive and alive today."
"Will you hate me?"
"I don't know. If I say I don't hate it, maybe there will be something that makes me regret it many years later. If I say I hate it, it won't go that far. 'That's not bad.' This is what it means. I said it myself, and I should be responsible for what I said. To this day, I still think so. But... maybe I should rethink the meaning of life and death. Times have changed, and you and I are no longer the same people we were then. .”
The others probably understood the meaning of these words and remained silent. Only Aoyan looked a little angry:
"You are the murderer who killed Sheng Han back then..."
"Calm down, Aoyan." Liu Shenghan raised his hand to comfort her, "I don't care. On the contrary, I feel smart. Xiao Chu, how did you not let me notice that the soul-returning fragrance was mixed in the scented tea?"
"It's a medicine that temporarily cuts off the sense of smell and taste...that's it."
"Oh... Hahaha, I remembered it." Liu Shenghan shook his head, "I was curious about how it felt to eat everything tasteless, so I consciously took medicine to try it and wanted to start with personal experience. I originally I wanted to cure you, but if I had known it was a curse at the time, I wouldn't have done such stupid things in vain. It turns out that the Soul-Returning Incense was there at that time... I had completely forgotten about it, and I thought that was the smell of the anesthetic."
"I'm sorry too... I didn't know that you tried all kinds of poisons, and the soul-returning fragrance actually stimulated all the poison hidden in the blood. I didn't intend to kill you, I just wanted a friend. Because you said that No, I thought you didn’t care.”
"I do not mind."
"That's good, I really... thank you very much. I know now that neither you then nor you now will truly understand me, and I will never truly understand you. Even if this wish It's terrifyingly innocent, terrifyingly innocent. But at the time... I didn't understand what I really wanted. Now I know, it's not too late."
He turned his face sideways and looked hard at the dark, huge remains of the python god in the distance, the stars in his eyes undying.
Chu Tianhe smiled, which seemed different from his previous mask-like smile. As he is now, no one can connect him with his identity as the great priest of the evil god. Several people were silent, not knowing what to say or what to do. Of course, these confessions would not sway Bai Ya's decision, but he still sighed deeply.
For the deceased father, for the deceased father's friend, and for the deceased father's son.
"The Chizhen Pearl is...please leave it to you. You must keep it properly. I have hurt your friends and their relatives. My sin is unforgivable...I'm sorry, I can only pay with my life."
Chu Tianhe said, looking at the woman holding Mo Dao in front of him calmly.
"..."
Jun Aoyan didn't know what he was hesitating about. Chu Tianhe killed Lord Ruyue, who was still a human, and also killed Bai Ya's biological father. He also sacrificed so many lives in cruel sacrifices and put so many humans into a trap of pain and despair. Does he really deserve forgiveness? But...those are side, passive, indirect, he, he...does he really deserve to die?
"...Are you okay?" Chu Tianhe was a little worried, "Your hands are shaking... If I still have the right to choose, I might as well ask Bai Shaoxia to take action. Using Master Bai's knife can be regarded as - Cut off the knot in my heart since then. Let all this... have a beginning and an end."
Jun Aoyan turned around and looked at Bai Ya helplessly. Bai Ya paused for a while and nodded.
So Jun Aoyan finally put down his heavy hand and turned around. Bai Ya walked towards her, holding the broken blade in his scarred hand. Under the silent gazes of everyone and the stars, the simple change of positions between the two was as solemn as some kind of ceremony.
Bai Ya thought to himself, this could be regarded as fulfilling his father's wishes - did he understand the solemnity of death?
he does not know. Along the way, to the Biluo Islands, to the Southland, everything I have experienced since landing on this huge island, all the people I have seen, all the monsters, everything I have experienced, all the catastrophes I have suffered... Are these... Invisibly, it has made him grow and change, making him...grow like his father expected?
Bai Ya walked slowly, looking at Jun Aoyan who was coming towards him. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his hometown, the capital, Xinyue Palace, and saw Jun Aoyan for the first time. At that time, she came from behind the screen, her steps were windy, her posture was straight, her spine was as straight as the hilt of her knife, and her face was as cold as the blade of her knife.
Now, she smiled slightly.
He seemed a little tired, as if he finally felt the... happiness of surviving the catastrophe.
Just at this time……
Just at this time--
A piece of metal penetrated Aoyan's body, and horrifyingly red blood oozed out.
The face that flashed over her shoulder looked more like a monster than a monster.
That face is clearly completely human...why is it the same as a complete monster?
Bai Ya couldn't answer.
His throat also felt like it had been pierced.
Chutianhe.
Chutianhe.
He kept repeating the name in his mind.
Good on you...Chu Tianhe.
The murder weapon was pulled out of the body, and blood spurted out after splashing. Jun Aoyan's smile was frozen on her face, looking stiff. She slowly leaned forward one step away from Bai Ya and slowly fell down. Bai Ya strode forward to catch her, and her body fell into his trembling arms. She was getting cold...the blood was pulling the heat out of her body along with her life force, filling it with pain.
She is so light.
Without much hesitation, Bai Ya immediately pressed the wound on her abdominal cavity, but blood still escaped from his fingers. What could pierce her soft armor so easily? He raised his head and saw the familiar purple-gold weapon in Chu Tianhe's hand.
No wonder they couldn't find the Demonic Pestle... When did they get it? When the temple collapsed?
"call……"
He let out a human chuckle. It can be seen that he is also very tired. After all, standing up suddenly and piercing a person's body requires a lot of strength. His next words dispelled the remaining concerns of everyone present about the spirit of the python god.
"You are stupid, you are just as stupid as you."
"..."
"It took us a lot of effort to let him completely lower his guard, kill him, and take away his arm..."
he murmured, proudly.
This was so... unimaginably bad that even Qi Huan and the two Liudao Wuchang couldn't react immediately. What Chu Tianhe is doing now is completely different from what he showed in the past. It is too disconnected, making everyone wonder if they are dreaming.
Yingyue Jun rushed to Jun Aoyan first and cast a set of simple spells, covering her body with a warm light. The bleeding had eased, but not nearly enough. She tried to heal her wounds in her own way, but to no avail.
"What exactly is the damage caused by the Demonic Pestle..."
Bai Ya pressed Amber gently on her wound, but he couldn't control the strength of his hand. But it didn't seem to have any effect. I wonder if it was related to the murder weapon that caused the injury. Qi Huan roared like crazy:
"What did you do! How dare you-"
"Master Bai is really experienced in many battles. Lord Python God said that I will never be his opponent. The old man has a clear eye and a clear mind. If he is not treated well, he will easily see through it. Fortunately, I have lived for a hundred years, and this mask has long since grown. On the face, Master Bai, who has seen everything in the world, cannot see through the heart of this old man. Master Bai is really a person who values love and justice. If I don't greet him with love and justice, I won't be able to deceive him."
Chu Tianhe smiled, his shoulders shaking slightly. He was very satisfied with all this, and his gloomy laughter echoed in this young body, fermenting and resonating with the old soul.
Bai Ya had no reaction.
He was furious.
"If only you had a little bit... a little bit of humanity."
He muttered numbly.
"What a pity! If I hadn't met my Lord God a few years ago, I might have been honored to meet such a knight. It's a pity, it's a pity... My destination has come earlier than expected, Lord Maharaja From now on, he is my only true God, my only faith, and my only best friend.”
"It's just the mind of a single evil god Gu!" Qi Huan shouted angrily.
"Fuck you!" Chu Tianhe said in a shocked voice, "What do you know? You know nothing! Everything in the world has long made me extremely tired. It is your ability to kill my faith. ; My death struggle now is my freedom. The python god has passed away, the stars have fallen, and the embers will burn you. Who would want to be a frog in the well after eating the most delicacies in the world? A mere firefly in this world dares to compete with the sun. The moon contends for the glory? Compared with the perfect gods, human beings are just humiliating themselves, and I only need to stand beside the gods and listen to the voice of the gods. I, Chu, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"You're crazy." Liu Shenghan trembled slightly, "You've already gone crazy."
"So what? So what! Even though I am crazy and stupid, I am still more awake than any of you! Even if the stars change and the sky changes, even if the sun and the moon change, even if the sea changes, until the mountains and rivers fall, the winter thunders and the summer snows, the seas dry up, the rocks rot, and the earth shatters Heaven is Qing, and I still stand with Him—"
Yingyue Jun raised his hand, and the wooden thorns that rose from the ground ended the insane ramblings of a madman.
The blood-stained sharp cone fell from his hand and hit the ground heavily.
