Yes......!

That person was Jianming and Chen Shihu's friend............

"Autumn Cicada ............"

I saw Qiu Chan shake the white martial arts uniform on her body with that somewhat sad look.

Then he covered his chest with his hand, revealing the undisguised scorch marks on his wrists.

"I ...... became a member of the country, Penglai Martial Arts. ”

His eyes were half-open, and he looked a little haggard.

"With the Holy See...... Nothing relates anymore and can't be contacted......"

Looking at the broken device on his wrist, Jianming was silent for a while, but Chen Shihu looked a little shocked.

The first to speak, or Jianming.

"We've heard it all...... I've heard about you from Wu Zun, Qiu Chan ......"

Chen Shihu looked incredulous, and he stretched out a finger and pointed to the charred part of Qiu Cicada's arm.

“...... In other words, you have completely betrayed the Holy See...... Betrayed the gods, right?"

..................

Chen Shihu had no intention of blaming Qiu Chan, but these words were particularly ugly in Qiu Chan's ears.

Treachery.

That's a strong word.

And with this strong word, the autumn cicada in front of him seems to be being blamed.

But even in the face of accusations, Qiu Chan can't defend himself, because that's what happened.

He betrayed his homeland and his faith.

Qiu Cicada's face gradually became embarrassed............

Jianming took a step forward, and at this juncture, Chen Shihu and his own mind were undecided.

What does the autumn cicada think?

So he opened his mouth and asked, "Are you going to fight with the people of Penglai?"

............

............

............

Autumn Cicada clenched her fists and turned her head sideways, not wanting to accept more criticism from her friend.

But that's not a reproach, it's a concern.

Jianming asked with a worried face: "Can you be with the gods............ Fighting?"

Finally............

The autumn cicada couldn't bear it anymore.

Bang!!!

Quickly passing through the sparse crowd, Qiu Cicada put her elbow directly against Jianming's neck and pressed him against the wall.

The shock from his back hasn't gone away.

But Jianming was even more surprised by the expression of the autumn cicada in front of him.

His breath, his hair, his eyes, were all messy.

It looks a little haggard............

Two drops of sweat ran down his head.

Qiu Cicada pressed Jianming and gave his answer.

"Ah...... I can, I can fight............! Because I don't want to die yet!"

..................

didn't speak, Jianming just looked at the clear but wavering eyes of the autumn cicada sincerely.

..................

Noticing his gaffe, but still uncontrollable, Qiu Cicada pressed against the wall with one hand and grabbed Jianming's collar with the other, lifting him up.

"You're going to scorn me, aren't you?"

........................

Jianming still didn't speak. Just quietly looked at the autumn cicada and waited for him to calm down.

But at a distance where you can feel the other person's breath.

Even the autumn cicadas are gradually seeing it.

Seeing Long Jianming's firm eyes............ A flickering unquenchable light.

The eyes were resolute, steady, and unwavering.

............！！

The autumn cicada trembled and let go of the hand that was holding Jianming.

He couldn't help but take a step back.

I thought back to the night the two of them had just met............

“...... You and me...... It's the same...... What ......"

His body trembled, and he took another step back from Jianming.

"Sure enough...... My delusion...... I can't be as strong as you...... Even if they say it's for Penglai, it's okay............"

"It's okay to dedicate oneself to the Holy See............ For the sake of the people in the fifth-class license area, ............"

He sat on his knees, arms folded in his legs, his face buried deep in his knees............

No face.

"Actually, at the end of the day...... I'm still just thinking about myself...... Never ...... For something else......"

..................

At this moment, Jianming seems to empathize.

His eyes didn't take off Qiu Cicada for a moment.

At this moment, he saw himself in the body of the autumn cicada.

Those battles so far...... recklessly carrying the Southern Dipper's fierce star......

To put it bluntly, Jianming is also for himself.

But what's wrong with yourself?

His father-in-law told him that if a man lives, he must live for himself!!

Believe in yourself!!!

So, Jianming said softly to the autumn cicada who was still disgraced............

"I'm doing it for myself, too. ”

............

..................？

Qiu Cicada raised her head, her face peeking out of her knees, already two lines of tears.

Jianming smiled softly.

"We ...... Born in this world. ”

..................

Since going down the mountain, I have met Aoyama and Yinling, encountered strange things, met people's hearts, met Yuanshan, and met bosom friends.

Walked through the black market and went to Wudang.

I've been in a temple and I've met a killer.

I went to other countries and made friends.

In the face of crisis, we also move forward hand in hand.

There are times for laughter, and there are times for sadness.

I've been in the ring, I've seen weirdos.

Encounters with horror ...... Miracles have also been seen.

I've been in a fight, I've hurt people.

There are partings, and there are reunions.

There are teachers, fathers, and friends.

So..................

"We were born into this world. ”

"Along the way, I've had a lot of important people, and now, it's not just for my mission, but I've completely liked the world, right?"

"So .................."

Jianming clenched his fist with one hand, clinging to his chest.

"As long as there is strength ............"

His face bloomed with a dazzling smile no less than that of an autumn cicada, and his eyes were as clear as water, exuding blue waves and shimmers.

"I will fight, fight to the last moment of this life, who has entrusted my wish!!"

..................！！？

The sparkling light evaporated the tears of the autumn cicadas.

Jianming ...... What the hell are you ......?

Why is it so dazzling?

........................

The sun is setting, it is night, and Penglai's hundred years of calm are about to come to an end.

But in the huge Academy Square, there are still thousands of people who don't want this peace to end.

They stood in a neat line, dressed differently.

Some of them are even just ordinary soldiers.

But what was the same was that the light of the huge torch hit everyone's nervous and serious face equally.

On the high platform, the firelight spread all over the man's body, making him look particularly dazzling.

Like a star in the darkness.

It was cold at a high place, and suddenly a cold wind blew, and the man's military coat swayed in the wind.

The hour has come.

Ye Chou waved his hand and said magnificently: "I won't let it go anymore...... The spiritual power in your body has been reduced to someone's props, and you have been banished like this, giving up your fate to you!"

"We don't want that kind of unfair world! And if our will is broken here, in the next thousand years, the darkness of history will completely drown our martial artists!"

"In order not to let the martial artist lose the meaning of his birth...... In order not to let the powerful people disappear in the historical tragedy that repeats itself............"

"Don't give up the flame of hope!!!"

"Raise your fists!!!"

"To protect the country of martial artists!!!!"

Ye Chou raised his fist to the sky, vowing to take the sky as his enemy, and never flinched.

"Stand up!!!! the martial artists of Penglai!!!!!!!"

Oo————!!!!oo

Shouts resounded across the sky, filling the square.

Under the blazing firelight were the people who were inspired by the revolutionary will.

..............................

In this peaceful country, military strength and force are often unnecessary.

With absolute power and a measure of morality, this country with good law and order has never raised its military might.

The number of martial artists who participated in this battle was less than a thousand.

Even if ordinary soldiers are included, the number of available combat power in Penglai is only 30,000.

Kyushu, Holy See, Wano Country............

People outside of Penglai have never thought about it.

This small country full of resentment and anger can survive the wrath of God............

And then............

The day of war has come.

..............................

Jianming opened his eyes, and at this time of the day, he would wake up naturally.

He had just woken up and noticed that Chen Shihu was still sleeping.

But the autumn cicada is no longer at home.

And that's not all.

On weekdays, the sun should be seen at this time............

Didn't show up.

In Penglai, in the dark, there are still some things that are sneaking around.

They seem to be expecting something, and longing for something............

Several dark shadows stood up, their mouths uttering strange sounds.

It's not like a human voice, but it speaks to people.

"Penglai...... What a small, miserable country. ”

Behind the dark shadows, there are thousands of black shadows.

Look at the sky, dark clouds overpower.

In the dark clouds, it was as if something even darker was watching everything below.

It was more terrible than lightning and thunder, and filthy than mire and rotting leaves.

This thing is called God, a god named Eris.

"Inform all the stupid humans in Penglai that from now on, we will destroy you all, step on every land, and sweep every corner. ”

..................

On the rooftop at the highest point in Penglai, Ye Chou has already stood properly here. Beside him, there was only his junior brother, Ye Shenyuan.

"Hit it, arrogant bastards, if you talk so much bullshit, I'll beat you up and piss!"

Woo – Woo ......

The soldiers along the walls of Penglai were a little timid, and many of them were participating in the war for the first time.

More are ordinary people who never thought that they would go to the battlefield one day.

Look at the dark shadows and beastly aura that gradually gather.

...... There is no longer time to pray for them, there is no longer a person to pray for.

There was a roar in the dark clouds.

It is as if the Supreme Command of God is revealed.

"All-Army Assault !!!!!"
