The secret fragrance floats in the ears.
Wu Xiaode looked at the translucent portrait in his hand, knowing that if the real Elian were here, he should be able to react in many ways, and none of his secrets would be revealed.
But what is the most appropriate response?
If you want to cover up everything so that you don’t expose yourself, the most appropriate response is————
His hands tightened slightly.
Crush this figure, activate the power of "Diamond Tears", and go directly to the arena to fight Abner in a life-and-death battle!
But I'm a little reluctant.
After finally getting here, I only got the chance to pretend to be myself.
I need more information!
When he thought of this, he opened his mouth and said:
"This time, it is not difficult to defeat Abner, but within the family..."
As expected, the mistress took over and continued talking.
"You don't have to worry about the family. Your father's last attempt to kill you was exposed and I ordered him to be put in solitary confinement."
"As for the head of the house, he listens to me on these matters, so we have everything ready."
Damn it.
Why did Elyan's father want to kill him?
Wu Xiaode carefully examined Elian's behavior, snorted coldly, and turned away.
——No matter who you are, it is always unpleasant to be targeted by your own father and younger brother.
When the mistress saw his appearance, she giggled.
She picked a gorgeous flower with her hands, sniffed it gently, and said slowly:
"A useless son has taken up so many resources——If you had died earlier and given everything to Abner, he would have grown up long ago."
"Your father always thought so."
"So it's understandable that he always wants to kill you."
Wu Xiaode blurted out, "Let me go see him."
"Um?"
The mistress frowned and looked at Wu Xiaode with a suspicious expression.
Wu Xiaode was thinking about another thing at this time.
"Let me go there. Some things should be settled." He said.
"For example?" Mistress asked tentatively.
"If he doesn't want to see my glory, then don't let him see it. He should go to the underworld to wait for Abner and witness Abner's death with his own eyes." "Wu Xiaode said.
The mistress relaxed her brows, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Wu Xiaode with a new look.
"Elyan...you have really grown up."
She put down the flowers and waved behind her.
A maid came quickly.
"Take Master Elian to meet his father."
"Yes, young master, please come with me." The maid bowed slightly.
Wu Xiaode followed the maid and walked towards the path behind the garden.
The mistress looked at his back and whispered:
"Your father's strength cannot be underestimated. Since you want to kill him, you must be prepared to be killed by him."
Wu Xiaode paused for a moment and said without looking back: "I will prove your vision, not his."
A blush spread across the mistress's face.
The struggle for power and power was so exciting and intoxicating that just imagining the scene of father and son fighting each other made his whole body almost tremble with excitement.
————This is the atmosphere of a big family!
"Go quickly and bring your father's head to me. I will reward you." She said, covering her chest lightly.
Wu Xiaode did not respond.
He disappeared along the path of blooming flowers with the maid.
…
The road comes to an end.
There is a quiet courtyard here.
The maid stopped and said, "Master, as soon as you enter, I will use my mistress' authority to completely seal this place with a barrier."
"When there is only one person left in the yard who holds the final say, I
Only then will the seal be opened. 「
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"No more." Wu Xiaode said.
"Please." The maid stepped aside and bowed slightly to him.
The courtyard door opened.
Wu Xiaode walked into the courtyard, and the door suddenly closed silently behind him.
patio.
Surrounded by rockeries and clear streams.
The pond is full of lotus flowers, which sway when the wind blows.
A man wearing black full-body armor stood in front of the pool, silently watching the birds flying around on the rockery.
"How did you come?"
The man asked without looking back.
"Come to see you." Wu Xiaode said.
"You don't need to come see me - since you have lost to your brother, you should work for him wholeheartedly, but now it seems that you have not done it." The man said.
"I heard that you wanted to kill me when I lost to him last time." Wu Xiaode said.
"That's right."
The man turned around and glanced at Wu Xiaode.
————He was full of murderous intent, and his expression was full of the gloomy feeling caused by constant scheming. He just glanced at Wu Xiaode and withdrew his gaze.
"I often think that if I killed you when you were a child, then the resources in my hand would not have to be divided into two parts, but could be pooled together for Abner's use."
"Then, his talent will probably be revealed a few years earlier."
Wu Xiaode laughed and said, "Why didn't you kill me back then?"
The man sighed and said sincerely, "This was a strategic mistake on my part. I thought you two were talented enough to inspire each other and eventually become members of the Parliament of Destruction."
"I am already a member of Parliament." Wu Xiaode said.
The man looked at him with a bit of sarcasm in his expression and said softly:
"You only relied on that woman to reach your position. You cannot support such a position with your own strength, Elian."
"Is that so?" Wu Xiaode answered.
"Of course, you lost to your brother in the duel, which is the best proof." The man said.
The killing intent in his body was so strong that he simply took out a necklace of skulls from his arms and held it up in front of him.
His hand slid over a skull on the necklace.
————This skull is so small and silent.
"I have had thirteen children. The youngest is called Asuo. When he was ten years old, I noticed that his talent was really amazing. Unfortunately, he resented his family and longed for freedom, so I could only let him die."
A small skull slipped from the palm of my hand.
"The oldest one is this one——"
A red skull was displayed in front of Wu Xiaode.
"Amy, a very naughty child, has a talent for evil spells, but unfortunately he was too deeply bewitched by evil spirits - I didn't teach him this well. In short, he has no future, so I killed him."
The red skull slipped from his hand again.
"Eleven of them have been killed, and the light has finally come————"
The man hung the skull necklace gently on the rockery.
Eleven skulls, the wind passed through them, making a slight whimpering sound.
A warm smile appeared on the man's face.
"...Raising children is really hard work, but hard work means gain."
"In the end I got a genius. "
"He is your brother——Abner."
"Elyan, your disobedience to your brother will only tear my family apart. If you die, your brother will no longer have internal obstacles."
"So you can die with peace of mind."
"This is your last useful contribution to the family. From now on, our family will become the strongest in the Entropy family."
After the man finished speaking, he slowly drew the long sword from his waist.
Wu Xiaode shook his head and said:
"Have you ever thought about why the mistress fell in love with me and not Abner?"
The man sighed and said disdainfully: "It's not because of your sweet words——"
Wu Xiaode waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, "Have you ever thought about why women don't have the desire for power? Maybe she has better vision than you."
"Twenty years have been enough for me to see clearly all your talents. Elian, you have no more potential." The man said.
"Really?" Wu Xiaode asked.
The man suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Bang!
With a soft sound, the skull necklace fell to the ground.
The sound of the wind became shrill.
There was a continuous sound of cutting in the courtyard.
A moment.
The entire courtyard was razed to the ground.
The infinite green blade penetrated the entire void, cutting back and forth non-stop.
The man put away his sword, shook his head and said, "You have retreated. I have hit you twenty-one times just now."
Among the dense green blades, Wu Xiaode's voice sounded:
"But...so what?"
call----
Dark flames spread out in all directions.
Wu Xiaode was suspended a few centimeters above the ground, with a crown of black fire behind him.
————The Dark Lord is coming!
Lines of small words in ice crystals appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"The opponent launched the final absolute cut."
"Its ability is to use the power of all arts to disconnect all existence."
"Its power is between laws."
"Your demon king is immune to all magical attacks under the law."
"Half damage!"
A line of blood appeared on Wu Xiaode's body.
He looked down at the shallow wound on his chest with a thoughtful look on his face.
Even though he was wearing the armor of the Demon-Suppressing General and the power of the Demon King's arrival, the opponent could still hurt him.
Terrible swordsmanship!
but----
"Your strength...should not be like this." Wu Xiaode muttered.
"My swordsmanship is like this. You have seen it for so many years and you still can't understand it at all?" the man said with a mocking tone.
Wu Xiaode shook his head and said, "No, your moves are quite fierce. Each sword is made through thousands of tempers. It is not consistent with the "end" you are using now - where is your original end?"
The man showed surprise for the first time.
"You can actually see that? Elian, you have indeed grown up, but it's too late to say anything now - I gave my strongest terminal to Abner, so that he could kill the new recruit Wu Xiaode, He saved the parliament in one fell swoop and achieved great success."
He became excited, raised his sword again, and said in a low voice:
"As for me, I will kill you right here and remove the last thorns for Abner."
