Chapter 111: The knot is difficult to solve
"What......!? How is this possible!"
Si You's eyes widened, he looked at Jiang Yao who got up from the ground again in disbelief, and the anti-phagogue lines on his face suddenly deepened a little.
"I'm not going to give you Chiyou's soul...... I won't let a guy like you play with my fate!"
Jiang Yao stared at Si You, swaying and stepping forward step by step. I saw that the frost that was imprisoned around him was also completely dissolved by the red demonic qi in an instant, and compared with the previous few violent walks, there was a little less violence in his eyes at this time, and there was more determination that was almost obsessive.
"You're just ...... Monster!"
Si Youjian's brows furrowed, he couldn't care so much at this time, and immediately drove all the frost power, trying to put the human man in front of him to death, but at the moment before the mana was activated, his movements suddenly stopped.
The cold light quietly stopped, and the condensed ice edges dissipated into star chips at the same moment. Si You stiffly lowered his head and looked at his chest incredulously, in the strange light of the altar circle that changed again, he saw a red point of light being pulled out and floating in front of his eyes, but this red dot did not come from the young human in the eyes of the array, but from his own body.
“…… You...... You're unexpected!?"
Si You's face suddenly became as pale as death, and he knelt in the center of the altar with a "poof", and the lines of mana backlash began to silently permeate his whole body, and he, who had lost the most critical "Chi You Spirit", was being quickly eaten by the surging light of the magic circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Since it's a 'soul ritual', haven't you thought that you would become the object of the dementor?"
Jiang Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and gently hooked the red light spot in the array, and the light point suddenly seemed to be attracted by Jiang Yao, and quickly jumped into the "death mark" of Jiang Yao's collarbone and integrated into Jiang Yao's body. And with the recovery of the red light spots, the magic circle on the ground finally dimmed at this moment, and the scorching red light around Jiang Yao's body gradually became stable, and finally dissipated as if it had completed its mission.
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Jiang Yao clutched his chest and gasped, after the outbreak, what was left for Jiang Yao was not only the demonic spirit that calmed down, but also a kind of powerlessness that was almost overdrawn. And at this time, it was not he who was devastated by such a result, but the man in front of him who was almost a cripple.
"No way! this can't be——!" Si Yu roared uncontrollably. "Mere human ...... How could ......it be possible to reverse the magic circle......
Halfway through his words, Si You suddenly seemed to realize something, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"Do you mean...... What is the 'soul' that you have in your body?!"
"That's right, he has Chiyou's 'main soul' in his body - 'Fetal Light'. ”
A low male voice came with the wind, Jiang Yao was startled, looked up at the front of the altar, and saw a black figure in a cloak descending from the sky.
Under the tattered cloak and hat, the long pale cyan hair fluttered in the wind, the blue eyes were like the water of the heavenly pool, and the white face was splashed with blood, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle, but there was no smile on this unfamiliar face, but an almost indifferent calm.
"Are you ......?"
Jiang Yao looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly arrived in surprise, but saw that the other party didn't look at him at all, and stretched out his hand directly in the direction of Si You, only to see a crystal object emitting green fluorescence floating out of Si You's arms and flying straight into the cloaked man's hand.
"'Dragon Bone Key'!?" Jiang Yao immediately recognized the crystal object, and his face suddenly changed greatly, but he was not the only one with an ugly face at this time.
"You...... You already knew that the 'soul' in his body was Chiyou's 'main soul'!?" Si You glared angrily at the cloaked man above and shouted through gritted teeth. "Deliberately guided me to set up the 'Soul Array', just to wait for the moment when I was counterattacked!"
"Huh...... If you want to understand it this way, this soul farce was originally a 'verification' to verify whether he was as I thought, and his body was fused with Chiyou's 'main soul' and 'fetal light'......"
The man in the cloak said, and finally moved his gaze to Jiang Yao on the side. "As you can see, only the 'main soul' can gather the other two souls and seven spirits, and since he can take that one soul away from you, it proves that I am not wrong. ”
"So, what 'help me create a 'ghost gate' to return to the realm'...... It's all fake!You've been eyeing the 'Chiyou Spirit' in my body from the beginning, right!?" Si You shouted angrily, dragging his body crawling with anti-devouring lines and swaying to his feet, Qingjun's face was filled with the anger of being deceived.
"It's true that I will help you create a "ghost gate", and in this regard, you and I have the same purpose...... And thanks to you, it's been able to get to this point. The man in the cloak raised his head and looked at the black "giant eye" in the sky, and he didn't know what kind of emotions were surging in his deep eyes.
"It's just...... Whether it's the soul in your body, or the soul and soul in this kid, it's not you who can get these souls in the end. And is it better for me to have a lose-lose situation than to let your family dominate at the moment......"
The man in the cloak said lightly, suddenly turned his head, and looked meaningfully at Jiang Yao, who was covering his chest and gasping for breath below, and before the latter could realize anything, he suddenly felt a flash of golden light in front of him, and saw more than a dozen golden chains suddenly stabbing towards his face!
Not good!!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Yao hurriedly tried to dodge to the side, but found that at this time, his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move half a step;
My body ......
Jiang Yao trembled, but those golden chains had already jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye, and he was about to splatter blood on the spot, when he was about to shoot, a red phantom suddenly jumped out from Jiang Yao's side, picked him up, and rolled to the side.
"Boom......!"
Under the attack of the golden chains, a large crater appeared on the marble altar in an instant, and most of it collapsed. Jiang Yao, who came back to his senses, opened his eyes, but found that he had landed safely on the periphery of the altar at this time, and the one who protected him was the red-haired man who always had a poisonous tongue against him, but saved himself from danger again and again.
"Gluttony...... Gluttonous ......!"
Jiang Yao looked at the red-haired man beside him in a daze, but suddenly found that the other party, who had always been calm and dignified, seemed to be a little embarrassed at this time, and such an image was something Jiang Yao had never seen.
"Hmph, are you still catching up......" The man in the cloak in mid-air looked at the gluttony who came over, and his face didn't seem surprised. "Drag the wounds all over your body to protect this kid, you are really persistent......"
"Heh, if you want to say the word 'persistence', you should not give in, right?" said Tao Tao sneered. "You, who have lost both sides of me, rely on the 'Soul Suppression Stone' to maintain your human form...... Even at this point, do you still want to continue to take souls? ”
"'Soul Stone'?" you said he was holding in his hand...... Is it the 'Soul Suppression Stone' that took away Xiao Yuan's soul!?" Jiang Yao looked at the golden object in the cloaked man's hand in surprise, and his body couldn't help but tremble. So he ...... Is it the culprit who killed Xiao Yuan and created so many puppet undead!?"
"Not only that, but the 'bureau' of Yuanqiu Mountain is estimated to have been set up by him. Gluttony said. "It's just that I really can't figure out why the Celestial Bird, which was supposed to bring peace to mankind, has fallen to such a point. ”
......The man in the cloak called "Blue Bird" was silent, just caressing the golden 'Soul Suppression Stone' in his hand, and under the golden light, the crystal 'Dragon Bone Key' on his chest continued to flicker with a strange fluorescence.
"I said that I did all this just to get rid of my 'knot'. ”
After a few moments, the blue bird finally spoke.
"A thousand years ago, I left the heavenly realm and came to the human world to practice alone. In order to integrate into the world, I took on the form of a human being, and as a parade healer, I traveled around thousands of mountains and rivers to hone my body and mind. ”
The blue bird murmured, and he calmly raised his head, looking at the golden river that flowed quietly on the distant netherworld, and his blue eyes were as deep as the sea.
"Thousands of years of time are like a white horse, fleeting, I have saved so many people in a long time, but for an ageless 'alien' like me, human emotions towards me have gradually changed from the beginning of 'respect' to 'fear', and finally to deep 'malice'...... It was also because I was too gullible to trust humans, and I ended up losing my inner dan, and I was never able to return to the heavenly realm because of this. ”
The blue bird said, withdrawing his gaze from a distance, and looking back at the gluttony below.
"You should be able to understand what you say, right? Whether it was thousands of years ago or today, human greed, narrow-mindedness, and ungrateful have never changed...... After losing Neidan, I locked myself in the mountains for a long time, gradually weakening and almost dying, until one day, 'a certain being' found me and lent me this 'soul stone', and I was able to regain my mana. ”
"'A certain being'?" said a frown.
"Huh...... Yes, this unfinished 'Soul Stone' didn't belong to me originally, and letting the 'Soul Stone' tend to be 'completed' was an exchange condition given to me by the other party. The bluebird stroked the golden object in his hand and said calmly. "The 'Soul Stone' needs more soul feeding to gradually become complete, and the powerful 'Chiyou Soul' is its best nourishment. ”
"So you've plagued so many creatures before, and you're planning to release Chiyou's soul, all in order to collect more 'tributes' and feed the 'Soul Suppression Stone'?" said Tao Tao in a cold voice. "You guy...... It's completely used. ”
"'Utilization'? huh...... Am I not taking advantage of each other?"
The blue bird shook his head, his face was indifferent and resolute.
"Before I went down to the earthly realm, I made a thousand-year covenant with a friend in the heavenly realm, but because of the revenge of mankind, I could no longer fulfill this promise...... This pain gradually evolved into a 'knot in my heart'. And if I want to gain the power to return to the Heavenly Realm, then the 'Soul Suppression Stone' of the 'Completed State' is necessary, so for me...... There is only one option left. ”
As he spoke, the blue bird looked up at the 'giant eye' in the sky surrounded by black shadows, and with the glowing green light of the 'dragon bone key' again, the hideous 'giant eye' began to widen suddenly.
"More tribute, more souls...... I want to make the whole world 'zero' again!"
