Chapter 84: Attack and Defense in the Human Circle (Part 8)

Kaguya has been fighting with Mei Hong for more than a thousand years, so she can see at a glance that the fire in Mei Hong's hand is not ordinary.

It looks like a budding lotus flower, with one layer of flame, another layer of flame, and then the next layer of flame. From the outer layer to the inner layer, the temperature increases, and the color of the flame gradually changes from orange-red to incandescent white. This is like carving a radish flower with a heavy sword, and Mei Hong's control over the flames has become strong to the realm of "art".

Vaguely, Kaguya has realized that if he eats this trick, he will lose.

"Losing" is a rather ridiculous concept for Penglai people. Even if she dies, she will be able to get back up, so the method of defeating her completely does not theoretically exist. But Hui Ye smelled the breath of "losing", just like seeing the clouds surging and knowing that the wind and rain were coming, and seeing the leaves falling and knowing that the harsh winter was coming. It's a hunch, the most likely outcome of her supercomputer-like brain, after a long series of complex, emotionless calculations. No matter what Meihong will do, Kaguya has realized that she can really "do it".

"It's ironic. ”

Thinking so, she couldn't help but smile.

If there is anything new to her after living for 10,000 years, after gaining the ability of "absolute immortality", there is still something that can threaten her and make her face failure......

Then she really wants to see it with her own eyes.

"Come on!" Kaguya snapped his finger and said, "Let me see what you can do!"

The body of the Penglai people is not designed to avoid harm, and since Kaguya drank the elixir of immortality for more than a thousand years, "immortality" has long replaced the part of her instinct to "survive". In other words, the concept of "death" has died in her brain. Now she has no "danger" at all, no sense of "defense", and it is impossible for her to consciously or unconsciously avoid the oncoming murder weapon.

In a word, "If you think you can kill me, then come on".

Kaguya set up a posture to meet the attack, and at the same time, he secretly prepared several close-range assault spells. Regardless of whether or not this move had the effect it should have, the trap set by Kaguya would tear her to pieces. The difference is that if she succeeds, Kaguya may spend a while resurrecting, and if she doesn't, Kaguya will have plenty of time to dance on her corpse.

The girl had a straight face, and she didn't say a word, but a pair of wings made of pure flames appeared on her back. For a moment, the fire was blazing, and the dim street was as bright as day. The heat rippled in the air, and the waves rushed across Kaguya's body. In the next second, Mei Hong held the "flower bud" and killed her old enemy with the thrust of the fire feather.

Mei Hong's speed was so fast that her image was distorted, and only a series of vague afterimages remained. It might not take her more than half a second to reach Kaguya, but no matter how fast she is, she can't threaten Kaguya.

One step, take Kaguya's front foot as the center of the circle, and draw a circle with the distance of taking one step outward as the radius - this is the trap set by Kaguya, the sensing range. As long as Mei Hong takes a step into this circle, "bang", what awaits her is only the ending of broken corpses.

It was already very close, and although it was impossible to see Mei Hong's movements, Kaguya could clearly feel through the suffocating heat flow that was enough to suffocate that Mei Hong's location was very, very close to the trap she had set. As long as she takes one more step forward, Mei Hong can punch Kaguya in the face, and similarly, if she takes one more step forward, she will step into Kaguya's trap.

This is the war of the Penglai people, the purpose of which is not to "seriously injure the enemy while preserving yourself", but "I can die, but you must not live".

However, Kaguya did everything, but after all, she still missed this "step" - Mei Hong did not rush to her face and stepped into her trap as she envisioned. Meihong's image finally became clear, and she stopped and stopped one step away. In this position, she couldn't punch Kaguya directly, and she didn't plan to do that.

Her target was the ground.

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, Mei Hong clenched the budding flame lotus. With this action, her entire arm, from her shoulders to her fingertips, completely evaporated into gas, and was replaced by a fiery fist of flames. The center of the fist flashed with a dazzling white light, which was the brilliance of the fire lotus. With all her might, she smashed the fist of fire to the ground.

In an instant, the red lotus bloomed, and everything was silent.

The white bricks crumbled into ashes, and the loess burned into black charcoal. Mei Hong's fist carved a big hole in the ground, and the "lotus" took root there. It's still the little egg-sized flower bud, it's still the same layer-on-layer, amazingly delicate structure. The only difference was in the outermost layer of flame petals, which opened.

Kaguya's body, along with her clothes and the trap magic under her feet, lasted less than a second before being broken down into particles floating in the air by the extreme heat. Before she died, she didn't even have time to open her mouth to say a last word.

"One of the great things about living long is that you always have time to carve some very intricate crafts. ”

Mei Hong stood behind the fire lotus, talking to herself expressionlessly. On Kaguya's place, there was a human-shaped black mark, which was the little trace left when she evaporated, the oil in her body dried up on the ground and completely carbonized. When the time comes, the particles that make up Kaguya's body will reunite, bringing her back to life on the black seal...... Then it was completely burned again.

"With this Flame Lotus as the center, the radius is ten meters, one meter is not more, one meter is not less. Mei Hong said, "This ten meter range is a high temperature dead zone. ”

"You will be burned to death, then resurrected, and then burned again at the moment of resurrection, and so on. ”

"This lotus flower has ninety-nine layers of petals, and each time a layer of petals blooms outward, it releases a layer of heat from the petals. After the energy of this layer is completely depleted, the next layer will continue to bloom. ”

"When the ninety-nine petals are fully blooming, it is the flower's death period. Just like the fate of the flame, it can only be burned out. When the time comes, it will turn into a harmless and good-looking, blooming Flame Lotus. Although that form only lasts for a short time and then self-extinguishes, it is a small gift I have left you to celebrate your 100th resurrection, and I hope you enjoy it. ”

"Well, although the whole process of 'flowering' will consume a rather long, boring time, during which ......"

"Perhaps, you should try to enjoy this process of coming back from the dead, coming back from the dead......?"

The sister turned around, and walked away slowly, while using the arm that had just been regenerated, without looking back to the ground, waved her hand twice.

"At least, you've made me realize one thing, Kaguya. As she walked, she lowered her head, half to herself, half to Kaguya, and said, "I am just a 'human', whether I have committed an unpardonable sin or suffered the curse of eternal life, I am a 'man' after all, and I can only be a 'man'." In this life, I am destined to only pursue the ideals of 'people' and the happiness of 'people'. ”

"You have never been human, and from the moment you were born, you were a god. So you can never understand what 'life' is, what 'death' is, and what 'love' is for a humble and weak 'person'. ”

"You and I are different after all, Princess Kaguya. If you think I'm acting as a hero, then forget it......"

"Boom—"

The atmosphere was originally very opposed, the flames were burning, the red lotus was blooming, the night was dying, and the pure masters went all the way north without looking back, but the roar of an explosion completely broke all this.

Mei Hong turned around, looked up, and looked in the direction where the explosion was coming from—it was the tallest building in the city, the top floor of the casino Casi-Joon. A pillar of light shattered the tempered glass façade of the casino, spurting out of the building, and a rainbow pierced the night sky. That thing sister red has seen, and it is clearly ......

“Master...... Spark?

Mei Hong's brows locked, and in her tone, worry gradually overshadowed doubts.

At least, she already knew which direction she was going to go next, and how fast she was going.
