The light wave spread until it was nearly two thousand meters away before disappearing. Countless trees and boulders that had grown for an unknown number of years were cut off and collapsed.
Looking down from the air, the dense vegetation of Mount Untori seems to have been torn with a fan-shaped scar.
When the white light disappeared, the huge sword energy shadow slowly shrank back into the body of the great priest.
His originally old face became even older, his eyes were cloudy, it seemed that his energy had been drained, and his originally tall body became stooped.
After using the most powerful blow to kill the enemy, the great priest's face did not show the relief of victory. His cloudy eyes were still staring at Xu Cheng's corpse that was cut into two pieces in the distance.
The three consecutive experiences of déjà vu and the suspected ability of time made him dare not take it lightly.
I don't know how much time passed, but the great priest felt that his consciousness was blurred for a moment.
When he regained consciousness, he blinked and found Xu Cheng standing not far away intact, while he was sitting on the ground.
This time, the great priest was not in a daze, but felt that it was indeed the case.
Both he and Xu Cheng had an idea in their minds.
The fourth time.
Xu Cheng has reopened for the fourth time. Although there are still six chances left, his expression is more solemn than ever.
Because he couldn't figure out how to break the great priest's last move of sword energy.
hide?
Judging from the damage caused by that blow, as long as the area covered by white light would be broken in two, there would be no way to hide.
There is only one way, and that is to take out the hero's right arm.
But now he is not even confident that the hero's right arm can block it. After all, the attack range of the great priest's last blow is no smaller than that of the hero's right arm.
Seeing that the great priest had sat down and the sword energy emerged from his body, Xu Cheng knew that he did not have much time left for him.
His brain was running rapidly, and he suddenly thought of a possible method.
Anyway, there are still six opportunities to reopen, so you can try it!
Xu Cheng put his hands by his ears to make a trumpet shape, his throat rolled, and he shouted: "Let's go!"
The sound was like thunder, traveling down the shrine and into the dense forest.
In the dense forest a thousand meters away, Chizuru Godera was breathing heavily, with many wounds on her dirty body, and one hand was carrying the prophet who had completely lost his strength.
Next to him was Hoshizaki Yukina. Although he was not seriously injured, he also looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"First Evolution"
Akimiya Yue is not around, but is setting up traps in the distance. Even if he can't kill Kagebei, he can at least cause some trouble to him.
The four of them had been entangled with Kagebei in the forest for a long time. At first, relying on the teleportation of the prophet and Hoshizaki Yukina, they succeeded in severely injuring one of them.
But then when faced with the remaining three Kagebei who were on guard, they fell into a hard fight.
Especially when the prophet ran out of energy, the four of them could only fight and retreat, relying on Hoshizaki Yukina's teleportation to delay time.
When Xu Cheng's voice passed through the dense forest, Chizuru Godera and Yukina Hoshizaki were both stunned.
Within a few seconds, Qiu Gongyue also came back: "Did you hear it?"
This was the signal Xu Cheng had agreed with them. As long as he sent this signal, it meant that the situation had changed, and the others would immediately choose to evacuate.
Hoshizaki Yukina pushed the broken glasses on the bridge of her nose with her fingers: "I only have enough strength left to take you away, and I can't come back."
This means that she cannot come back to pick up Xu Cheng, although Xu Cheng has long said that he can leave on his own.
Akimiya Yue and Godera Chizuru were hesitant at the same time.
But in the end, the two of them still chose to believe Xu Cheng at the same time and reached out to grab Hoshizaki Yukina's body.
With a brush sound, the four people disappeared into the forest.
After Xu Cheng gave the signal, he raised his head and stared at the great priest who had turned into a shadow of sword energy.
If the next move doesn't work, you can only choose the hero's right arm or the mission fails.
He took a deep breath, and when he exhaled it again, he blew out two flames directly from his nostrils.
A faint shadow appeared behind Xu Cheng. It was Kirito Odera, the younger brother of Chizuru Odera, almost clinging to Xu Cheng's back.
Xu Cheng felt that his whole body's strength was soaring, and a strong heat spread from his chest to his limbs.
When it was extremely hot, every pore in his body spurted out flames, covering his entire body.
The flames soared into the sky, like a volcano erupting, making the surrounding night look like day.
boom!
The flames suddenly exploded, spraying around like meteors and fire showers.
A new form of Xu Cheng appeared in the sky.
His whole body completely turned into flames, his body was made purely of flames, and even his hair turned into blazing flames. He was surrounded by fire clouds and suspended in the air, just like the mythical God of Fire.
"I am the God of Fire, the god who rules over all flames in the world."
"Submit to me, accept me, and you will become one with me and jointly wield the authority of God."
A voice seemed to be whispering in his mind. Listen carefully, and you will find that this voice is actually Xu Cheng's own.
Feeling that his body was filled with a new violent power, Xu Cheng really had the illusion that he was a god at this moment.
But Tsugumo Shinji's situation immediately made him vigilant, and he quickly put aside the delusional thoughts in his mind.
The great priest's sword energy phantom has already grasped the Tiancongyun sword in his hand, and waved it fiercely at Xu.
A white light as dazzling as the sun instantly filled Xu Cheng's vision.
Xu Cheng raised his hands high and mobilized all the strength in his body to gather in his hands, condensing into a flaming sword rising into the sky.
The scorching flames were like a volcano erupting, occupying almost half of the sky, competing against the white light.
When the light wave that cut off everything swept across, Xu Cheng exerted his strength with both arms and swung the flaming sword downwards, causing the sky-covering flames to pour down.
The two collided together in an instant, time seemed to stop at this moment, and the world became silent.
brush!
All the flames were cut into two pieces, including Xu Cheng's flame body.
But at this moment, he didn't feel any pain. He only felt that the power of the Vulcan in his body was being cut through two gaps rapidly passing away.
The cut flames flew past the side of the sword energy shadow and hit the shrine behind it. With a loud roar, the entire shrine was almost penetrated by the flames.
When the white light disappeared, a large fan-shaped vacancy appeared in the area nearly a kilometer ahead - after being blocked by the flaming sword, the damage caused was far less than before it was reopened last time.
Xu Cheng's flaming body that was chopped into two pieces was still in the air. His upper body turned into a ball of fire again and flew over to wrap his lower body.
By the time the flames disappeared, his body of fire had become complete again.
When Xu Cheng looked back at the traces of destruction, he felt relieved.
He usually felt very happy when he took out his hero's right arm and slapped his enemy. Only when he faced a similar power did he clearly feel the fear of this unparalleled power.
"I am the God of Fire, the god who rules over all flames in the world."
"Submit to me, accept me, and you will become one with me and jointly wield the authority of God."
The voice in his mind was still chanting and echoing, like drops of ink dripping into his consciousness as clear as a spring, sooner or later it would turn his consciousness into pitch black.
No wonder Shinji Tsugumo became like a lunatic in the end. This thing is like turning on the reverb and talking in your ears non-stop, and in your own voice, you will think it is your own thoughts and ideas. , and was eventually assimilated by this voice.
Xu Cheng originally thought that Jin Yun Shinji had no serious problems after using it for several years, so he should be fine if he used it for a while, but he couldn't bear the magic sound filling his ears for even a second. It's no wonder that Jin Yun Shinji was forced to have no other choice before he was willing to become Vulcan.
Xu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply used the enhanced emotional control to eliminate all his emotions and turned into a wooden person with an empty heart.
Unexpectedly, this trick turned out to be very useful.
No matter how this demonic voice whispered in his mind, Xu Cheng, who had turned into a wooden man, remained unmoved.
If you can chant sutras to kill me, please continue.
After the sword energy shadow struck the strongest blow, it quickly shrank back into the body of the great priest.
The great priest let out a long breath, and his whole body became visibly weaker. He looked up at Xu Cheng in the sky, and for the first time a look of surprise appeared on his face: "The Eight Chi Mirror is actually on you! "
If it were before, Xu Cheng would have made two sentences, but now that he had become a wooden man, he had no emotion. He opened his hand to condense a fire spear and threw it at the great priest.
The great priest raised his hand and waved, a sword energy slashed out, hit the fire spear, exploded with a bang, and the flames shot out in all directions like meteors.
The high priest managed to stand up from the ground, the raging heat making him sweat.
Xu Cheng shot straight down from the air like a cannonball, rushed towards the great priest, and launched a direct frontal attack.
The great priest panted and waved his arms, slashing out several sword energy, slicing through Xu Cheng's body, but none of them could hurt his body of fire.
boom! boom! boom!
Xu Cheng, who rushed up, aimed his fire fist at the high priest, and in an instant, hundreds of fist shadows hit the sword energy barrier.
With a bang, the sword energy barrier shattered, and the remaining sword energy inside directly penetrated Xu Cheng's flame body, but still did not cause any damage.
The high priest slashed his sword and instantly cut Xu Cheng in half from his head to his body, but this was just a useless effort.
Xu Cheng completely gave up his defense and punched the great priest in the chest.
With a bang, his old body flew backwards and landed on the ground. A blackened fist appeared on his chest, and the flames ignited his clothes.
The high priest stood up with his hands on the ground, panting violently. His eyes saw that the screen was blurred, and everything became a double image.
If he were young, or twenty years younger, he would not be afraid of Xu Cheng who had the Eight Chi Mirror.
But he is too old now, so old that even one use of Sword Qi Shadow will drain all his energy.
Noticing that Xu Cheng was about to pursue him, the high priest raised his hand and pointed, and with the sound of breaking through the air, the scabbard flew out from the burning shrine and turned into a Yamata-no-Orochi and pounced on Xu Cheng.
While Xu Cheng was blocked, the high priest used the Tiancong Yun Sword as a crutch to support him back to the shrine.
Flames penetrated the roof of the shrine, igniting the wooden structure and turning it into a sea of flames.
Returning to the main hall, there were fires everywhere, and from time to time there were burnt wooden beams and stones falling down from the top.
The high priest still remembered that there was a living Kagebei, but he looked left and right and couldn't find any figure.
Maybe it's my old eyesight.
At the last moment of his life, he decided to turn a blind eye, walked quickly to the place where the heavenly sacrifice ceremony was held, and slashed forward with his knife.
The blade flashed past, and a crack was cut out of thin air, but this crack looked unstable and could close at any time.
The cold spirit wind blew out from the cracks, refreshing the high priest.
Suddenly, accompanied by a shrill roar, the scabbard flew back from outside the shrine, with burn marks all over it.
The high priest put the Tiancongyun Sword back into its scabbard, then reached out and stroked it, his old face full of reluctance.
Although this artifact was given by Amaterasu, it had been with him for more than fifty years and was a companion closer than family members. He did not expect that he would be separated at the last moment.
Poof!
The high priest suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a burning fire spear penetrated from his chest.
Xu Cheng had already chased him into the shrine and attacked him from a distance.
The great priest gathered his last strength and threw the Tian Congyun Sword into the crack.
The Tian Cong Yun Sword sank into it, and the cracks closed and disappeared completely.
Two more fire spears flew over, pierced the great priest's chest, and began to ignite his body.
His life was surprisingly tenacious. Only when he was so seriously injured could he turn around and face Xu Cheng.
"you win."
The high priest's whole body was burned by the flames, and he was shaking. He said weakly: "Even if you destroy the Protectorate, please protect Japan and our country. Please."
As he spoke, he bent down hard, trying to make a bow.
When he bent down deeply, Xu Chengcai said coldly: "I am not Japanese, but your bow is not wrong. After all, you still owe us an apology."
The high priest suddenly raised his head, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Xu Cheng reached out and patted his shoulder: "I come from the other side of the sea and am your enemy."
The expression on the high priest's face has solidified.
This man who had mastered the Japanese artifact and destroyed the Protectorate that protected Japan, and had such powerful power, turned out to be a person from across the sea who was hostile to Japan.
The high priest could no longer imagine how much disaster Xu Cheng would cause Japan in the future. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to make a sound, but was stabbed in by a fire spear.
boom!
The scorching flames completely engulfed his whole body, and soon he was reduced to a humanoid mass of charcoal.
The entire shrine was also crumbling under the burning flames. After Xu Cheng flew out of the shrine, he only heard a roar and the century-old ancient building collapsed.
"Huh? Why isn't it over yet?"
Xu Cheng thought the mission was over here, but the manager has not yet completed the mission settlement.
Xu Cheng searched around the area but couldn't find anyone alive. He thought, must the entire Protectorate be completely destroyed before the mission is over?
Unable to use teleportation to return home, Xu Cheng could only rely on the convenience of becoming a Vulcan and fly away directly.
After Xu Cheng left, the flames in the shrine became more and more intense, igniting the surrounding trees and soon turning into a mountain fire.
In the collapsed shrine, the high temperature distorted the air, and a crack suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by a square door.
A foot stepped out of the door, and immediately after, a girl wearing a red and white miko uniform walked out of the door.
Her eyes glowed red, completely ignoring the high-temperature flames around her, and she held a samurai sword tightly in her right hand.
It's the Tian Cong Yun sword that the great priest just threw in.
The door behind her was closed, and the girl's red eyes looked in the direction Xu Cheng left. She jumped out of the shrine, jumped again, and disappeared into the night.
…
After flying out of the mountainous area of Yuntori Mountain, Xu Cheng had to give up using the power of the Bachi Mirror.
He turned into a wooden man and resisted the demonic sound filling his ears, but he couldn't stand it for about half an hour.
After all, he is not a real wooden person, and he will still be affected by subtle influences, which can accumulate to the limit.
However, with the gift of emotional control, Xu Cheng was able to use the Bachi Mirror safely within at least half an hour, which was an unexpected surprise.
It's a pity that the great priest actually threw the Tiancongyun Sword into the crack before he died, otherwise Xu Cheng would have been able to gather the three artifacts and achieve what Destiny is in me.
He fell to the side of the road, his head was still buzzing, and there seemed to be a voice whispering in his ears.
He took out his cell phone and called Hoshizaki Yukina to ask for a special mount to pick him up. However, she complained on her cell phone that she had no energy left and asked Xu Cheng to take a ride home.
It was still a bit far from the city, so Xu Cheng had to stand on the side of the road to stop the car, but no one was willing to pick him up after waiting for a while.
It seems that the ability card is still too cool to be obvious.
He switched to the killer card, and the clothes on his body were restored automatically.
Stand on the roadside and hold out your hand to stop the car.
With the sound of brakes, a car stopped in front of him.
The driver was a man with heavy makeup. He winked at Xu Cheng ambiguously and said, "Handsome man, I will take you wherever you want to go."
After he finished speaking, he licked his red lips and touched his thighs wearing garters with his hands.
Xu Cheng: "..."
It seems that the killer card is handsome enough and masculine enough, but it is too tasteful.
About half an hour later, Xu Cheng took a car from a kind-hearted rich woman to the city and declined her invitation to play cards in the hotel.
It's not that he is stoic, but that the rich woman is eight feet tall and eight feet wide, so he really can't bear it.
"Manager, why hasn't the task been completed yet?"
Xu Cheng asked the task manager, but the manager ignored him.
He had no choice but to read the mission description again, and couldn't figure out which condition had not been completed. Was it really necessary to kill all the remaining members of the Protectorate to be considered complete?
Not all members of the Protectorate Council came to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony tonight, and a small number did not come due to various reasons.
If all the members really need to be eliminated, it will take a long time to find the remaining people. After all, they will definitely hide after knowing the danger.
With no clue, Xu Cheng had to put the matter behind him for the time being and prepared to take the subway to Godera Chizuru's home to meet them.
Just as Xu Cheng was about to go to the subway, he suddenly felt pain in his back.
When he looked down, he saw a sharp knife stabbing out of his chest.
"Ahhh!"
Several passers-by screamed in terror and ran back in fright.
Xu Cheng slowly turned his head and looked back, and saw a girl with red eyes, wearing a red and white witch costume, holding an Tian Cong Yun Sword, stabbing into his back.
The girl's charming and delicate face looks a bit familiar.
Sarina!
The name flashed in Xu Cheng's mind, and his consciousness went dark.
