She Zishu's calm statement made Jiaomo feel an inexplicable panic. She was so unfamiliar. This kind of strangeness is not in the ordinary sense. The two of them have not been together for a long time. It is a grander feeling, as if Zishu's existence itself has surpassed her understanding of humans, monsters, and all living things.
"...I don't know." She said softly, "Sorry, I don't know."
"Yeah."
There may be regret in Zishu's words, or it may be their misunderstanding. How could she have feelings?
But at this moment, Jiao Mo Xiu Dao smelled something wrong. After being washed away by the rain of fire just now, the thread that was too thin has been fused. There is a strange smell after the white threads are burnt, like silk being set on fire, but it is a bit more unkind than this smell.
She saw that beyond the distance protected by the barrier, the white threads slanting above seemed to become more slender. It's getting very hot here, and they're melting under the heat. In other words, the swarms that formed the lines became discrete and sluggish. Once those strong threads begin to flow thickly, they are stretched very long and thin, and are at risk of breaking at any time. Only the inside of the barrier is still intact.
"Master Lintian...!"
Jiao Mo turned to him for help. Master Lintian knew what she meant - they had to try to save the two of them before these threads were completely broken and Gao Yuejun fell into the boundless sea of fire. . If you want to do this, you can only temporarily lift the enchantment of the Demonic Pestle and take the two away in a short period of time. But it's not that easy.
Facing Lord Xueyue, Master Lintian did not relax at all. The talismans were hovering in the air. He chanted the mantra, and the blue flames burned the talismans instantly, but the runes on them remained in the air. The black words were like flying insects, like eyes, moving with Master Lintian's fingertips, bound to Lord Xueyue and the six weapons.
Wu Yin was at a loss for a moment. Before he could take action, Xie Zhe came from the side holding a dagger. Wu Yin was about to parry, but Xie Zhe put the dagger into its sheath. His eyes scanned the people over there, and he quickly knew what was happening. But he was not impulsive.
"Now is not the time for us to argue," he said to Wu Yin. "If Lord Xueyue succeeds, no matter what your original purpose is, Lord Gaoyue will be buried in the sea of fire. No mission will be completed, and no wish will be achieved. If you realize it, you will only lose your life for no reason! The most urgent task is to stop Lord Kutsutsuki's magic and those weapons and buy them time. For this, we need your help. "
Wu Yin, who was covering his arms, frowned. He looked at Xie Zhe and then at his brother and sister who were still recovering from their injuries. Ruan Xiang found the antidote and was busy applying medicine to Han Shang. He stopped blocking and let out a heavy sigh.
"well……"
Helping someone who was an enemy a moment ago was not what Wu Yin wanted to do, but as Xie Zhe said, if Lord Xueyue was not stopped first, the sacrifices made by the Death Shadow Pavilion up to now would be in vain. Lord Kutsutsuki has broken free from the shackles of the runes, but fortunately the swords are still firmly locked. He attacked Lintian Master, but his figure burned out in an instant. It turned out that this was just a deception. Master Lintian gave him a heavy blow from behind, and Lord Xueyue was actually photographed against the stone wall. Listening to the sound, he must have been shattered by the rugged stone walls in several places.
This injury is not a problem for him at all. He sneered and raised his slightly embedded arm. Before he was about to summon the next burst of fire, Wu Yin lit the incense from before. The plumes of smoke from the birds continued to overflow, forming a conscious mist. They quickly followed Wu Yin's instructions and flew to the vicinity of Lord Xueyue. Before he could notice the tiny smoke, countless tiny white insect swarms suddenly burst out and spread densely over his body.
"...!"
Like being tightly bound by a spider's thread, Kutsutsuki-kun was fixed on the stone wall, unable to break free for a while. At this moment, Master Lintian immediately lifted the barrier of the Demonic Pestle. Jiao Mo found the right moment, jumped onto the vine-woven platform, and reached out to pull She Zishu, who was standing there blankly. She didn't resist and let her drag her away.
"You are really going to annoy me—"
Lord Xueyue's body suddenly burst into flames, and a bright fire spread out from his whole body. He leaned forward with all his strength, and the outline of his force burned and spread on the white insect net, and he escaped from the confinement.
After the barrier disappeared, those lines closest to the pool of fire below also began to melt. Gao Yuejun fell a little, but she didn't seem to care. She didn't scream or struggle, as if she was dead. She is like the last drop of dew on the tip of a leaf, sinking as the leaf surface tilts. At the moment when Lord Kutsutsuki jumped towards her, a deafening sound suddenly erupted from one side of the cave.
boom!
Some shadow rushed out from the piled rocks, like a broken bamboo. He stepped onto the floating island extremely vigorously and teleported to the platform closest to Satsuki-kun. Before anyone could see clearly, the figure had already torn off the fallen Satsuki-kun and jumped to the highest floating island in the audience.
"You bastard-"
Lord Xueyue cursed, and in addition to anger, there was a hint of panic on his expression. After seeing the figure clearly, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, as if the matter was about to be resolved.
The person who came was none other than Kanna-kun.
"I really don't know what the hell you're trying to do."
He raised his arms and held the weak Satsuki-kun firmly. She was as angry as silk, and her body was still covered with white silk threads. It's just that the luster of those lines is much duller. It took a lot of effort for her to even squeeze out a smile.
"Yin and Yang go to the stream..."
"Say a few words and explain slowly later."
"...No, it will be later."
Kanna-kun looked down at her, and at the same time knelt down, slowly put her down, and leaned her against a curved stone. He pushed the hair away from her face, stared at her with his black and white eyes, and asked seriously:
"Then let's be clear now. What do you mean by giving away all your spiritual power? Just leave a little bit to hang on to your life. What do you want to do?"
"Purify... Ten Thousand Gu Pond."
"I didn't say the same thing. Okay, just lie down and I'll take care of the rest."
After that, he straightened up, pulled out the metal ring of the scimitar behind him, and took a few steps forward to fully appear in everyone's field of vision. He looked down from a high place and confirmed that Jiao Mo had brought She Zishu to a safe location. He shouted to Wenying again:
"Take them out from where I came from. There will be forks in the road, so just take the upward path."
Based on their previous inferences about the shape of the shadow barrier, as well as Jiaomo's own location when she arrived, and Kannaujun's words, she confirmed one thing. That is, they are not in the mountain now, but deep underground.
Afterwards, Kanna-kun pointed the knife at Kuchtsuki-kun.
"Under the banner of that adult, your mother is really lawless."
"Fuck you, I am the King of Hell!"
"I've seen you displeased a long time ago, so I took advantage of the opportunity today and settled all the old and new debts for me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I already knew that one day I would have to fight with you." Lord Kutsutsuki swept his gaze up and down, "You are so ridiculous, why did you come here wearing a rag? Even if you are a dish here. At the market, I will definitely hang a sign outside saying 'No one in rags is allowed in'."
"It's better to wear shabby clothes than some well-dressed beasts."
"You - tsk, what a mistake. You should have ignored all obstacles and prioritized the mission of that adult, breaking through the six barriers."
"……etc!"
As soon as Xie Zhe finished speaking, the six trembling weapons finally broke through the shackles of the spell. Before they could really fight, Xie Zhe rushed up to them, approached them, and asked loudly:
"I've been feeling a little strange since just now... You said that breaking the obstacles of the six paths was an order from Yama Demon?"
"Ah? Didn't I say it? How could I remember that I mentioned it before?" Lord Xueyue's surprise really didn't look like he was pretending. "Forget it, it's not something I have to explain to you ants."
"In the end, he was distracted by a group of so-called ants and delayed the mission." Kannaujun teased.
"you……"
Master Lintian intervened in the conversation. He came to a place close to Xie Zhe, raised his head, and said to the two people above him:
"We should all be very clear about the consequences if the wall that separates the six paths is broken down. It will not only be the small Death Shadow Pavilion that will have trouble. Qinglize, but even the entire world will be filled with monsters and demons. Such behavior It is tantamount to destroying the human world. But you said...this is the order of that adult."
"Although I haven't explained it properly, I won't make up a lie on the spot to deceive you, right?" Lord Kutsutsuki was really angry. He shrugged and said, "No matter what the Lord's purpose is, I will faithfully carry it out. .”
Xie Zhe clenched his fist and said: "At that time, even the shadow barrier may not be able to prevent the tragedy from happening... Unless, this is the purpose of Lord Gaoyue using his life to strengthen it.???????????????? But this is too dangerous and too uncertain! At least everyone here will die..."
"Of course I know. But, you are all expendable - everyone will die sooner or later anyway!"
"you--"
"Okay, now that we've talked about this, let me tell you a little more? I guess not only you, but also many of my colleagues have been curious about one thing - why am I so casual? Guy, I have never been sanctioned by that adult once? Nonsense! Because all my actions comply with the instructions of that adult. And I never ask, never question, just complete the task, and don’t mind its reasons or consequences. . Of course I know what will happen if we break through the six barriers, but this is an order, and I just need to execute it. I dare say that I am more loyal than anyone in the December of Underworld."
"Hmm. It sounds quite similar to that." Kanna-kun said calmly.
"It's really harsh coming from your mouth." Lord Kutsutsuki retorted, "In the final analysis, you humans are too arrogant - you really think you are the only ones in the world. I've said it countless times, too many ...You humans are too numerous. You are so greedy to expand wantonly, trample on territory that does not belong to you, and seize resources that do not belong to you. You don’t really think that December in the Underworld was born for humans, do you? , the only meaning of the existence of impermanence is to obey the instructions of that adult. Black and white yin and yang, right and wrong, good and evil, false and true, good and evil... The human world needs checks and balances to achieve balance. Such a simple truth still requires me to go to great lengths to explain. "
"...In the final analysis, isn't it your guess?" Kanna-kun raised his swords and said quietly, "Come on, you can just carry out your mission in front of me. If it is true as you said, I will If I stop you, then I will become a disobedient person. Since it is her instruction, if I interfere with the actions of other impermanent ghosts, she will definitely intervene, right? Even if the adult is blamed, you will not be the only one to ask questions. Or is it that even my hindrance is part of her prediction?"
"Are you doubting that lord? He is really incompetent."
Lord Kutsutsuki smiled seriously, and his face was so distorted that it looked like he was looking through a layer of heat waves, which may indeed be the case. Kanna-kun looked at him with cold eyes, and that aura almost extinguished his fire.
Master Lintian grabbed Xie Zhe and pulled him aside. Xie Zhe left with him knowingly and hurried back to Han Zhang and the others, while Master Lin Tian rushed to the platform where Lord Gao Yue was resting. He knew that the next battlefield should not involve any of them. They shouldn't and can't.
From the beginning to the end, She Zishu watched all this as if it had nothing to do with himself.
