The six realms of impermanence will not usher in death so easily... Mahallaka seems to have ignored this.
The reason why he made such a sigh was because Kanna-kun had already arrived in a hazy land. Here, there is only the eternal twilight. He has seen it a few times, but it was all due to missions.
Those who walk on the road to hell are destined to be alone. It felt amazing, there was no one around, it was like he was walking his own path to hell. Could it be possible that Mahulaka thought he was afraid of death? Definitely not, so there must be some "surprise" waiting behind. But walking slowly like this was indeed the first time for Kanna-kun. Although the Naihe Bridge on Huangquan Road does exist objectively, when people leave this world and step through the gate of hell, everyone walks their own path. Except for the deliberate interference of the six realms of impermanence, they are all alone.
The fiery red flowers were blooming everywhere, and Kanna-kun didn't have much time to appreciate them. He gradually quickened his pace, not paying too much attention to this unusual scenery. Until he stood in front of Naihe Bridge and saw some... unusual figures on the other side.
There were three people.
"Why are you here?" The woman wearing armor and holding a sword said with a smile, "We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Another woman with a somewhat gloomy face said solemnly: "Maybe he has too many chores in the world, which is why he has been delayed until now."
The young man in the middle, whose hands were wrapped in gauze, folded his arms and yelled rudely at him loudly: "Why are you just sitting there sitting around? Why, I insist on inviting you over."
Everyone was smiling, as if they were waiting for an old friend who was late. They said they cared, but in their hearts they were not in a hurry. They all waved their hands, calling him to come quickly. Kanna-kun stood here silently, motionless. In this eternal dusk, all the old friends on the other side seemed to be glowing, but he stood on this shore like a stain on the yellow spring. The black curtain in front of him is the last barrier between him and the other side.
He turned and left.
"Hey! What's wrong with you, do you really want someone to treat you?"
The young man was unhappy. He strode across the Naihe Bridge and walked towards this side. Kanna-kun stopped but did not look back. The young man stayed at this end of the bridge and stopped moving forward. He complained to Kanna-kun and said:
"Look, I'm coming to pick you up. Are you satisfied now?"
Kanna-kun doesn’t look back.
The quieter woman opened her mouth, and he didn't need to make a loud sound for him to hear clearly.
"You have worked hard over the years. Now it's time to take a rest."
"Yes, we don't want you to get exhausted!" said the sassy female general, "Let's go quickly, we still have a lot of things to do together."
Seeing that Mr. Kanna was unmoved, the young man reached out and grabbed his sleeve and pulled him this way. He said:
"Since everyone is talking about this, you can't leave us alone again, can you? You were like this last time... without even saying goodbye. I heard about the Yin and Yang going to the stream from other people, and I know that It's you, but I never took the initiative to disturb you. I said in my heart, if you are willing to see me, you will take the initiative to find me. It's just that you kept me waiting for too long... It doesn't matter, you go with us now, too Same. I believe in your choice and will never blame you."
"..."
"Come with us," he tightened his grip on Kanna-kun's sleeves, "you are no longer alone."
Kanna-kun turned around and saw the young man's eyes lit up. Under the light of the setting sun, his pupils were shining with hope, as if no coldness in the world could extinguish such enthusiasm.
Immediately, Kanna-kun struck the hand off hard.
The young man jerked his hand away, puzzled: "What are you doing?"
"The scenery has been restored well, really." Shen Wujun said, "I haven't paid attention to the appearance of everything in the world for a long time. It turns out that the Road to the Underworld is such a beautiful place. It's a pity..."
"Then why are you hesitating?" the young man said eagerly, "We are your friends forever."
Suddenly there was a gust of wind. This is rare, the road to the underworld is always calm. The wind blew stronger and stronger, blowing Kanna-kun's exposed long braid wildly, and the cloth on the curtain and hat also rose and fell from time to time. It's just that this wind can't shake the three people at all. They are like ghosts, and any tangible or intangible thing in the world can easily penetrate them.
They don't exist in this world.
The wind lifted the black veil completely to the brim of his hat, and the young man was a little stunned when he saw his expression.
What a cold and heartless face it was.
"W-what's wrong with you?" The young man smiled apologetically, "Don't you even recognize us?"
The female general holding the Mo Dao shouted: "Why don't you know what is good and what is good? We are doing this all for you."
Another woman also said: "You are so ignorant of praise, it will make us feel chilled."
The expression on that face was darker and filled with disgust. He frowned, his pure white pupils staring at the scene in front of him. Then, he slowly drew out the blade. He said the next words through gritted teeth.
"Are you worthy too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two knives struck him from the left and right. The young man was cut in half, as were the two people opposite him. Then, the sword energy swept across the sea of flowers on the other side, and every proud head was chopped off. Bright red blood spurted out from the green neck, as if a major artery had been severed. The blood quickly dyed everything red, and the figures of the three people completely melted into the sea of blood.
"……Ha ha ha ha."
Kanna-kun actually laughed.
"You're so funny. It's been over a thousand and hundreds of years, and it's still the same, with no new tricks at all. Is your technique so poor? Well, after all, you are just an imitation, far worse than the original. The demonic power of the upper body is all leftover from playing. The ownership of the Chizhen Pearl is not in your hands, so you must have a headache, right? That’s it, get out of here, don’t bother me to give it to you personally!”
The surging sea of blood submerged everything, and Kanna-kun stood unmoving in the eyes of the whirlpool in the center. After he finished his harsh words, the bloody craze actually softened and gradually receded. When the crimson color completely disappeared before Kanna-kun's eyes, he returned to the present world.
Thick clouds obscured the full moon tonight, but it was so dazzling that even so a circular halo could be seen.
The water vapor is much lighter, but it has not completely dissipated. With this visibility, ordinary people can see nearby things clearly. Kannau-kun walked towards Xie Zhe who was not far away. He was using his arms to support himself. He moved very slowly and staggered. Kanna-kun pinched his arm and pulled him up, and he almost stopped standing. After finally landing on his feet, Xie Zhe reached out his hand and rubbed his aching head.
"I almost didn't wake up..."
"If you don't listen to me, you have to follow me. That's right."
Xie Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "It's a good thing I didn't hold you back."
"Don't talk about that useless thing."
Kanna-kun pointed towards the jungle. There is a long and dark road left by Maharaja's body to chase Lord Shuangyue. All the trees were ruthlessly broken and crushed into the soil. Looking in this direction, you can see a giant python with its back hunched over. It didn't react at all, as if it was meditating.
"I'll wake him up while you help the others."
After saying that, Kanna-kun was about to chase after him. Xie Zhe quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute! How can I help others?" He was at a loss. "This evil god still has two brushes, and I was almost trapped in them. What should others do if they can't wake up from their dreams?"
"You can see for yourself," Kanna-kun said calmly, "Some people will not sleep to death. Maharaja will control their minds and make them aggressive when they are awake. Many people killed each other in those days. . If this is the case, you can beat him up and he will wake up - physical pain is the most effective hangover soup, remember not to strike too hard."
"...I don't know whether I should believe what you said or not."
"What?"
"Nothing." Xie Zhe coughed lightly, "Then what if they are unconscious?"
"Then there's no point in beating him to death. Just drag him to a safe place first."
After that, he rushed into the dark road in a few steps. He was so fast that even the knife was pulled behind him due to inertia. Xie Zhe was speechless for a moment and stayed in place for a while. Then, he turned his head and began to look for Jiao Mo's shadow. He soon spotted her. Jiao Mo is lying on the edge of a shallow pool, and he will fall into it if he is not careful. Although no one can drown at this depth, it can still be fatal if one falls asleep. Xie Zhe leaned down and was about to gently shake her to wake her up, but she slowly opened her eyes first.
"Thank God..." he sighed.
Jiao Mo supported her upper body, and Xie Zhe carefully pulled her up, using a much gentler approach than Shen Wujun had with him. Jiao Mo stood firm and rubbed his temples. It seemed that, like Xie Zhe, she had gone through a lot of trouble in the fantasy world.
"It's such a difficult test..." she said with emotion.
"Yes. If we are not strong-willed enough, we may really fall into the trap. We really underestimated this evil god..."
"Kanna-kun fought with this thing back then," Jiao Mo lamented, "and there are eight monsters like this - including himself."
"Indeed...if I were in this situation, I would probably have died a long time ago. This is not something ordinary people can do."
"Do you know what Kanna-kun used to defeat Mahulaka?"
"It seems to be a magic weapon." Xie Zhe replied.
"Yes, it is the magic weapon of Poseidon."
"Blue water gall amber?" Xie Zhe said, "It was once in Lord Shuangyue's hands. Unfortunately, it has now been exchanged for the Chizhen Pearl."
"This is not necessarily a bad thing." Jiao Mo said seriously, "Amber can repair the human body. With it, the body of Shen Wujun, who is still a human, will not be destroyed. At the same time, it can transmit people's thoughts, and even Emotions. Mahuluaka is a demon spirit in the animal realm. He has no understanding of human emotions and does not care about them. So Kanna-kun used it to enter Mahuluaka's body, causing chaos in it and thus destroying it from within. Its body."
"It is possible for a monster that is powerful enough to reshape its body."
"That's why Kanna-kun doesn't want it to retrieve the essence - that is, the red pearl. Just like the dragon under the archipelago, if the essence returns to the body and the memory returns to the original body, the soul may be pulled back. At that time, It will cause a huge catastrophe. But..." Jiao Mo changed his subject, "Maybe using the other person's way to treat the other person's body is also a way. He must know."
"This..." Xie Zhe lowered his head and rolled his eyes, not thinking about it yet.
"That's all, believe him. We'd better find our lost companions quickly..."
"Yes. Han Sheng and Wenying still don't know where they are, and whether they have been affected by illusions..."
