Above the scorching wilderness.
Countless innocent souls swarmed out from the ground, but within a moment, Xue Yun was already drowned by the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
The earth is cracked and filled with flames.
The scalding hot magma emerged from the ground, spreading as fast as it could, and flowing little by little in the direction of Xue Yun.
"It is my fault......"
Only half of his face was exposed.
Being killed by countless innocent souls on the spot, Xue Yun sat slumped on the spot alone. Come on, Teacher Beigong will not fight alone until he dies of exhaustion."
His eyes were empty.
Xue Yun had no intention of resisting at all. Despite the piercing pain all over his body, his whole mind fell into deep self-blame.
All these years.
In fact, he has never been able to get out of the shadow of the past, and he still cares about Beigong Mu's sacrifice.
Over time.
A twisted idea arose in Xue Yun's subconscious.
If I had been stronger back then, the results would have been completely different.
This idea gradually became ingrained as time went by, so much so that in his dreams, Xue Yun recalled the war that year more than once.
The more this happened, the less he could forgive his weak self.
Finally, this kind of weird thoughts and negative energy became the inner demon obsession buried in Xue Yun's self-consciousness. It has been lurking until now, only to be inspired by the ability of "Black Sword. Rashomon".
He lost his most basic desire to survive, and his mind was completely controlled by the obsession in his body.
Nowadays, Xue Yun only wants to die. He doesn't care whether this is the real world or not. He just wants to atone for his sins in this extreme way.
"This way, that's fine..."
The exposed face was also covered by corpses all over the mountains and plains.
Xue Yun smiled miserably and sighed: "At least, you can finally rest in peace."
boom--
At the critical moment.
A dark, scorching beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, just falling among the corpses in the boundless wilderness.
Bang~~
Countless limbs and broken arms suddenly exploded, the hot dragon's breath was like a bolt from the blue, and the violent energy shock wave spread rapidly among the densely packed corpses.
For a while.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and sand and gravel splattered.
The ground below the entire city tower was riddled with holes, so devastated by the sudden black dragon flames that it was unbearable to look directly at it.
"Xue Yun——"
Rumble...
In the clouds high in the sky, a dark giant dragon appeared with its head raised, its winding body kept circling in the air, its mouth opened wide, and it actually spat out clear human words.
"You guy, what are you doing? Why don't you cheer up!"
The original consciousness of the Black Dragon Soul was forcibly invaded into Xue Yun's central consciousness.
Rintaro Kondo transformed into a black dragon shadow. As a last resort, he could only risk normal communication with Xue Yun in this dangerous way.
"See clearly, these ghosts are simply the manifestation of your inner demons. As long as you are willing, you can easily defeat them!"
"But, look at what you look like now..."
Ouch~~~
Following a long dragon roar.
The huge black dragon phantom suddenly swooped down, slid down from the high altitude, and plunged into the blood sea of the mountain of corpses.
"Self-pity and depression..."
The sharp dragon claws clasped the ground hard, allowing the lonely ghosts to crawl out from the depths of the ground and began to bite his body crazily.
A breath of dragon's breath flew past.
All the life-threatening ghosts clinging to Xue Yun's body instantly turned into ethereal smoke.
Slowly approaching Xue Yun, the dark dragon widened its eyes and roared: "Are you still the Xue Yun I know? How can you be worthy of those teammates and partners who are still fighting outside?!"
"never mind."
He shook his head sadly.
Looking directly at the dilapidated city wall in the distance, Xue Yun murmured to himself: "It was indeed my problem back then. If I had agreed to become Beigong Mu's disciple early on, instead of relying on my talent and pride, maybe Longdu would have There won’t be such serious losses, and Teacher Beigong won’t die so miserably.”
"What I owe them can only be repaid with my life. Only if I don't default or owe money can I feel at ease..."
The mind wanders between trance and wakefulness.
At this moment, Xue Yun couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all. Ultimately, it was because of his inner demons.
Buzz…
A dull buzzing sound suddenly started.
The city wall in the distance began to collapse strangely, and countless pieces of mud and ruins sank into the ground, followed by more evil Shura ghosts climbing out of the flaming hell.
"Damn it!"
Anh screamed something bad.
The black dragon in front of him quickly raised his huge head, locked onto the overwhelming pile of living corpses not far away, and opened his mouth to spit out dozens of hot dragon breaths.
Bang bang bang bang...
The raging flames rose and burned, and the raging sea of fire swallowed up the hordes of evil ghosts in an instant.
But not for a while.
There will be new fresh forces crawling out from the ground, seemingly endless, without slowing down at all.
this moment.
Rintaro Kondou, who turned into the shadow of the black dragon, finally realized that these zombie demons, which seemed to have no actual fighting power, were simply derivatives of Xue Yun's obsession.
If he can't let go of his previous grudges, even if Rintaro Kondo attacks him a thousand times or ten thousand times, these evil spirits will appear again, and there will be no rest at all.
"Asshole..."
The huge body rolled violently.
The black dragon in mid-air turned around and stretched out its huge claws, knocking Xue Yun down to the ground.
"You guy, have you forgotten what you said to me before?!"
The sudden counterattack stunned Xue Yun instantly.
The whole person lay on the ground unable to move, and could only passively accept the roar of the towering dragon in front of him.
"What bullshit arrears, what peace of mind..."
Rintaro Kondo was extremely angry and shouted angrily: "You guy, you think too much, and you are not as important as you think!"
The huge black dragon swung its long tail and struck across the border with a fierce blow, once again forcing the large group of evil ghosts behind it to retreat.
"We are just all living beings in the world. Without anyone, the sun will still rise tomorrow..."
The tone softened a bit.
Kondo Rintaro took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice: "And those who have passed away, you and I have no ability to keep them."
Startled slightly.
A trace of fear flashed through his originally dull eyes.
Xue Yun suddenly remembered that these words were clearly the words he used to explain Rintaro Kondo in front of Julian's tombstone in the fishing village of Ine...
