Kong Lingbei is back.
Kong Lingbei came back with his reinforcements. The number of subordinates that a lord can command is a number that cannot be underestimated. Similarly, if such a huge team wants to get to the right place at the right time, there must be reasonable overall arrangements, even if they are a group of monsters. Human armies have human problems, monsters also have monster problems, it’s pretty much the same.
Judging from the current situation, this is just a "timely rain". Xie Zhe and Han Zhang were already worried about the endless number of puppets. It’s easy to feel that they are no longer as easy to handle as they once were. In the beginning, they were really just porcelain pieces that broke at the touch of a finger, not even "glazed." Later, they became stronger, their surfaces became "softer", they had greater toughness, and they even had usable psychic powers - although this should still be from the perspective of the operator. But no matter what, it is a fact that they are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
Those harpies swooped down, grabbed the puppets one by one, and threw them to the sky. Those human-shaped objects were smashed into pieces and scattered in pieces. Although Xie Zhe and the others can also cut off these things, no matter what, they can always attract the former parts to each other and piece them together into their original appearance - which may not be so standard. Even if they are incomplete, they can still use the remaining movable parts to support themselves and move with all their strength. That look was enough to make the two of them feel chills... It was too much like the survival of some kind of living creature, like the survival of some kind of human-like living creature. And their only idea of "surviving" turned out to be to kill them. Only the harpies smashing these things to pieces can contain this uncomfortable scene.
Many harpies can take the form of humans or humanoids and assist them directly on the ground. Smaller birds, or those that cannot transform, tear and peck at the black straw. In this way, the shikigami, the evil envoys of greed, were defeated. Fei, who was originally at an advantage, was shocked. She didn't know why so many reinforcements descended out of thin air at this moment.
There was no use jumping in a hurry. She didn't know how many uncontrollable changes would happen, so she could only hope that her two companions elsewhere could stabilize the situation. She was not a fool, and she did not intend to waste time on worthless things. Her wandering eyes proved that she had already begun to figure out how to get out of this melee first. Controlling these shikigami has consumed too much of her energy, and she can no longer put in more useless efforts.
In the night sky, the most powerful figure suddenly shot down like an arrow. Just by glancing at it, Xie Zhe could recognize the gorgeous and dazzling tail feathers. If someone didn't know better, they might mistake this sudden glance for a phoenix, but a phoenix wouldn't have such murderous intent. The moment he landed on the ground, he had transformed into a human form, and two colored splinters appeared in his hands.
He ignored the evil messenger who was making calculations and landed squarely in front of Xie Zhe and Han Zhang. He asked two questions.
"Are they safe?"
"...We can't be sure." Han Chang explained, "But as you can see, Yun Waijing has..."
"I know, but I didn't see his remains when I came. I will send people to search for him later." Then Kong Lingbei brought the topic back. "Where are they?"
Xie Zhe knew what "they" meant. Not only Maoyue-kun, but also Takimiao, and everyone else. But now they are scattered, and no one knows who is where exactly. Han Chang didn't say anything, and the two of them shook their heads slightly, with helplessness written on their faces.
"It doesn't matter, I'll look for it myself."
There is indeed no blame in these words. Both of them saw the serious look on Kong Lingbei's eyebrows. Not too much anger, not too much anxiety, but you can still read a trace of belated annoyance. He pursed his lips slightly, feeling quite prepared for the worst. Or maybe... it wasn't done well. But Xie Zhe knew very well that the short one or two months they spent in this illusion with these monster friends - the spring that was as comfortable as a dream, but seemed no different from the distant past. What a depressing, dark, sad undercurrent stretches out where you can't see it.
Everyone knew what Uoyue-kun had said to each of them.
Birds danced crazily in the sky, big and small, long and short, day and night. In addition to the sounds of fighting, they also make strange cries, some of which are not even consistent with their respective races. These are probably communicating in their own way of monsters. This scene is really strange, it can be called a chaotic dance of demons. If anyone is awake and looks at it from a distant village, he will definitely be shaken awake by this magnificent spectacle.
Soon, Kong Lingbei discovered something strange: Why were there so many petals floating in the windless forest? They were all stretched out and gradually became denser as he progressed. They gathered into a small stream in the air, bypassing many obstacles in the forest and drifting towards somewhere. He chased these colorful and fresh petals without any hesitation. In this flow of spiritual power, he sensed the breath of Lord Uoyue's spell. But there is no doubt that this power is waning. Looking around, more and more trickles of petals are condensing, either converging together or running separately, but always in a fixed direction.
Not long after, he followed the guidance of the tide of petals and discovered the figures of the two girls. It seems that they are also chasing this spiritual power. Kong Lingbei quickly caught up with them.
"Master Kong Ling?!"
The first person to shout was Ling Huan, who was very surprised - originally she had no hope for the arrival of reinforcements. Both she and Wenying slowed down, but seeing that Kong Lingbei had no intention of slowing down at all, they had to catch up in a hurry, running with the wave of petals.
"This is Lord Uoyue's spell." He said straight to the point without any nonsense, "Since you are chasing them, I'm afraid you don't know their movements, so I won't ask you more. The evil spirits here are too mixed, but I can still Sniff out the more disgusting parts.”
"There seems to be... more than one evil angel here." Wenying said.
"Yes, no matter how gorgeous and fragrant the floral fragrance is, it can't cover up the stomach-churning smell."
Kong Lingbei did not hide the malice in his words, but of course this was excusable. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the trickle of flowers that had been flying at night became chaotic in an instant. The petals trembled in the air, as if each one had additional airflow controlling them. The whole trickle expands and then contracts due to the movement of the petals, like the pulse of a living thing.
Then the pulse stopped beating.
In an instant, the beautiful petals spread all over the ground, paving gorgeous carpets and spreading deeper into the forest. The three people stopped in unison - this was certainly something worth stopping for.
"what happened……?"
No one can answer Ling Hu's question, although they all know that the answer may be pessimistic. At least at this moment, Utsuki-kun's spiritual power disappeared. Not completely dispersed, but weakened to the point where it can no longer control the flow of petals. Wenying didn't react, but she saw Kong Lingbei rushing past along the tapestry without looking back.
It might still be a while before they arrive, but what happened has become a fact. Blood splashed on the ground, wetting the remaining flowers piled on the ground. It was not Uoyuki-kun himself who had the accident - although no matter who it was, it was definitely not the result they wanted.
Long Miao felt intense labor pain.
With every cautious breath and every cautious heartbeat, this pain is constantly amplified. A burning sensation gnawed at the wound on his chest. His heart was held tightly by someone, not even a human being.
But, but... caught up.
It was difficult for him to retrace his memories. The pain made his mind go blank and he almost lost all ability to think. No matter how you say you are a half-demon, it is difficult to recover quickly from such a degree of trauma. But it is precisely because he is half a monster that he can still stay awake even when his heart is being pinched. Although all he could do was stay awake and not close his eyes forever in the next moment. It would be better to say that such a slow disappearance is more painful.
How did it happen? He duels with Tao Zhu and her dead brother. He was reserved in every move he made, while the opponent tried his best in every move he made. Those powers were taken away from Lord Maoyue, so Long Miao naturally did not dare to go all out. Two-on-one behavior is inherently unfair, not to mention the special prerequisites. He was soon at a disadvantage and overwhelmed. And at the most critical moment, Tao Zhu caught his moment of "laziness" and made the corpse attack in the direction of Lord Maoyue. At that time, Long Miao didn't think too much. Just like every other time, he stepped forward alone.
He was penetrated by the spiritual power from Utsuki-kun.
Blood splashed on the ground, on the flower petals on the ground, and on Utsuki-kun's clothes and face behind him. Uoyue Jun sat on the ground with one hand supporting his body, his face raised, and he looked dejectedly at this scene happening in front of his eyes. Her pupils changed subtly at this moment, but she could do nothing. When he fell backward, Uzuki-kun couldn't even catch him properly. Long Miao's body was so heavy that it almost crushed her.
It was hopeless, they all knew it. Shen Wujun and Yin Guihong are already some distance away from here, and even if the former notices something, he cannot rush there immediately. And Long Miao could no longer be cured. This was already more serious than any other injury, and it was Uzuki-kun who treated him in the past. This kind of damage caused by Lord Uoyue's spiritual power is probably beyond repair.
However, even if the heart is no longer in the body, the remaining demon power is still enough to support Long Miao to say the next words.
"I...know that one day...it will come...now."
"……Me too."
Whether this tone is cordial or cold, only two people can judge. Uoyue-kun's voice was somewhat sad, but also had an expected calmness. Their six realms of impermanence have always been like this, and they must be prepared to part ways with life and death from the people around them at any time. It was during such a long period of time that their edges were worn away, and most of them became bloodless and tearless bodies.
Long Miao never expected that Uoyue-kun would be any different. This might be the reason why his heart didn't hurt so much.
Or maybe it's no longer in your chest.
