Metal collided and clashed with metal, making a harsh sound.
"Is that so..."
The new round ends. During a slight break, Chenxing adjusted the posture of holding the knife and murmured to himself.
"What did you understand? Tell me."
Her opponent is a guy who is unimaginable to ordinary people, but feels reasonable after learning about it. He was standing on a high branch, inspecting the blade of his sword with ease. There was not a single leaf left on this tree, and its twisted branches were splayed with claws. There is light snow falling in the sky, and the branches are already covered with a thin layer of white. When he landed on it, not a single snowflake was stirred up.
"It's impossible to determine whether this plant is poisonous, and whether its poison is harmful to people... uprooting it before it blooms and leaves. It seems to be a less common, but seemingly reasonable way of doing it. .”
"Yes. But I have to clarify... Is this my personal move? Well, it is."
Lord Xueyue's two fingers passed over the sword body, and the double-edged sword as thin as cicada wings glowed with a cold light. This light is clearly red, but it makes people feel extremely cold, which is somewhat consistent with such a silent snowy environment. Chenxing stood up straight and looked at him calmly.
"You can guess it. Among the six impermanent people, everyone is... a good person who is kind to a bit disgusting. You, the only monster, are out of place. You must have learned about some people's plans from some channel, and then came directly to me. .”
"You are indeed a person who has lived for hundreds of years. He has a longer lifespan than some monsters and a smarter brain. In addition, your skills are really good. It is really not a fluke that you can live to this day. But there is one thing you said. I am very Agreed - indeed, they are a group of good people who are so kind that it’s a bit disgusting. That’s why I can’t get along with them.”
"Solving the problem is just... your cover." Chenxing commented, "I know what you want."
"Then why don't you give it to me directly?"
"What's the purpose?"
"If I tell you, will you hand that thing over to me honestly?"
"war."
Chenxing's answer was crisp and clear, and Lord Xueyue didn't hesitate for a moment. He jumped down from the branch, and the force of the moment shook the snow in the entire tree. The snowflakes were falling one after another, as if the silver gauze covering the trees had been lifted off. In front of this white sky, red shadows stab at the star like lightning. She raised the knife in front of her and took the blow firmly.
After several back-and-forths, Chenxing had clearly realized that Lord Xueyue was fighting in a way that caused maximum wear and tear on the weapons. It's not difficult to explain. How could a monster solve problems in the way of a knight-errant? Unless doing so is the most effective means to achieve your goal. However, Chenxing is not worried about the duel between magic and magic.
The ring-shou sword made of copper is really not suitable for combat. It was originally made as a sacrificial weapon. Although she coated the blade with magic power, Kuchugeki-kun's fighting methods kept breaking her. This seems to be a duel between cold weapons, but its core and essence is a battle of tactics.
"Based on some information... I know that your sword is very special." Lord Kutsutsuki's eyes were as hot as winter fire. His gaze was always fixed on Chen Xing's blade, never leaving it for a moment. "It constantly absorbs power, and you can release it at just the right time. But I don't know if the material of this copper...is it afraid of being tempered by hellfire?"
"You can try."
Chen Xing was not afraid at all.
"Ah - it's this unruly look that always makes people find it annoying. The more unyielding something is, the more people want to break it, right?"
Karma Jie is not a knife suitable for fighting, at least not for head-on confrontation. As it happened, he had no such plan. This battle is still going on in a way that ordinary people cannot see through. Lord Xueyue's plan is easy to see through. He wants to completely destroy the purple copper ring head sword to make it useless, and then use magic to decide the outcome with her.
Chenxing knew very well that this cynical impermanence ghost might have had Liulixin's idea. but why? And why now? In the past, when she was not as capable as she is now, he should have had many suitable opportunities to get it. Something must have happened somewhere she didn't know about, and Lord Kutsutsuki must be ready to add fuel to the fire.
The most important function of the glass heart is purification. He is a monster, what needs to be purified?
Maybe it's not what he needs, but it's for others?
I don't know how long this battle will last. Compared with any scheming means, it seems to be just a duel of pure strength. This is really not like Lord Kutsutsuki's style, but so far, he does enjoy it. He was very fond of this special sword, and since the day he got it, he has perfected his swordsmanship for it. It's hard to say what kind of behavior this is for youkai... but it's obvious that he really likes it.
"have you had enough!"
The female voice was so harsh that it almost shook the snow off several nearby trees. The two of them stopped immediately, but no one took advantage of the situation. Because the person who interrupted the battle could be regarded as an acquaintance of the two of them.
"Shui Wujun?" Chenxing was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to appear here."
"Hongxuan Changye!" Shui Wujun yelled at the monster over there, "I know you have a way to hear our discussions and find out our purpose. We can't control your eyes and ears, and you I can’t control your hands. To this day, you still deal with the problem in your own way. Are you too insistent?!”
Lord Xueyue exclaimed and became happy: "I am determined to have my own way? I, Hongxuan Changye, have been in charge of the Six Paths Impermanence for longer than the time since you were born. It is your turn to teach me a lesson? I am just sorry that you are right I still don't know enough. You know, at least, as you said - I am solving the problem. If I were lazy, I would leave you with more trouble than I am now. You know why I have made you hate me so much over the years, But I still maintain my position as Kuchugetsu-kun? That's because I can still do some practical things. Unlike you, it seems that few of the tasks assigned to you by the Lord have actually been completed. I see you , if you resign as soon as possible, you can get a good result of reincarnation. If you fail to do something right one day, ruin the master's plan, and let down the expectations of the mortal people, even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough for you."
Shui Wujun took a deep breath. The cold wind sank into her lungs, which eased her mood a little. After so long, this man still had such a mean mouth, she thought she was used to it. That's all, there's really no point in arguing with him about this kind of thing except to waste time.
But there were some things that she still wanted to talk back to.
"Oh, solving problems? Every time you solve a problem, you just create new problems for us. I'm afraid that without you in this position, the work of other colleagues will be a lot easier... a lot."
"I took it as a compliment."
"I have finally seen your shamelessness today."
These words were actually spoken by Chenxing. She was still looking at him coldly, the falling snow reflected in her eyes blending in with the coldness. Before Kuchtsuki-kun could take any further action, Mizumu-kun suddenly raised his hand, letting the clattering chains lie between the two of them. Their battle was forced to stop. Lord Xueyue glanced around and saw that the demon-binding ropes were arranged very cleverly, deliberately making it difficult for him to use them. It should be said that this woman has made a lot of progress compared to the human period. This chain is directly connected to the underworld. Let alone the Six Paths Divine Weapons, there is nothing in the world that can cut them off.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to fight two against one?" Lord Xueyue laughed, "You are really bullying someone."
"You also make me a little disgusting." Chenxing said bluntly.
Shui Wujun unceremoniously pulled out two broken blades from his waist and walked straight towards the center of the two of them.
"Chen Nuxia, please leave first. This guy is simply using the worry of demon transformation as a cover to have other agendas."
"Yeah, I know. But, I won't leave." Chenxing turned his wrist slightly, and the blade cut across the streamer. "I don't like to cause trouble, but if trouble comes, I won't shy away from fighting."
"There will be no results." Shui Wujun shook his head, "You don't know what other dirty tricks this guy has. He can't be upright from beginning to end and maintain the so-called fair duel."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not a gentleman either."
Lord Kutsutsuki suddenly sighed exaggeratedly. He deliberately attracted the attention of the two people.
"Alas! You girls are really very narrow-minded. They seem to have a really good relationship. I don't know, but I thought you were really like sisters. It seems like I am the only bad person in this world. That's all. It's up to you. There's really no point in getting entangled with such a bitch."
After saying that, he actually turned around in front of the two of them, leaving behind a back full of flaws. But they all knew that if they attacked now, he would be on guard. They won't do it, and it really doesn't make any sense. Shuimu-kun also knew that he deliberately belittled the status of women, not that he really looked down on girls - as a sexless youkai, it was difficult for him to tell the difference. I say this just to disgust them.
However, there is really no point in continuing to fight. The two watched him leave intently. It wasn't until the red back completely melted into the vast white that Shui Wujun put back the chains. The sound of cold metal perfectly matched the freezing weather.
"I'm really sorry. These matters... should be negotiated between me and you."
"I know."
"It was delayed for a while because of other things. I was late."
"Is it about Lord Ruyue?" Chenxing quickly thought of those broken limbs. After all, the two of them had talked about this topic the last time they met.
"You are very perceptive."
"I...see the results in your eyes."
"Yeah." Shui Wujun reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and said with an ugly smile, "It's really not a success."
"That's a defeat."
"You could say that. But they're already thinking of new ways."
"It has nothing to do with me. But I wish you all the best."
"Then, please cooperate with my work." Shui Wujun stretched out his hand and pointed to the small town with lights in the distance. "This is really not the place to talk. In order to understand some of your thoughts, I must delay some time. You know the reason."
"You don't have to be so polite. But...ah, it's really troublesome." Chenxing's already sleepy expression looked even more tired. Even a hearty battle like the one just now couldn't cheer her up. She complained and said: "I also have a lot of unfinished things..."
"It won't take long, it's just a routine thing for me."
