Chapter 174: The Fire
The Xue family is a very power-oriented family, and the stronger the person, the higher the status in the family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info On the contrary, the weak are necessarily not valued.
The spirit core is innate, and how strong a person can have in the later stage depends on the size of the spirit core in his body. Of course, acquired training is also indispensable, but the size of the spirit core is an absolute limit, and no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to break the spirit core limit.
Therefore, the children of the Xue family will be sent for spiritual core testing shortly after birth.
Chikage was tested twenty days after she was born, and the results were naturally good, and her talent even surpassed that of her brother Ginhui and Akamemaru.
But after Sakura was born, it was proven that there was no spirit core in her body at all, which was a tragedy for the children of the Snow family. From that moment on, her misfortune could not be shaken off.
The two sisters are three years apart, but they are treated differently at home.
Chikage is the eldest lady who is respected by everyone in the family, and she can choose everything except training and education. Especially in terms of material things, she can get almost everything she wants. Moreover, her future is very exciting for her family.
Sakura, on the other hand, can only carefully learn the rules of the nobility, waiting to find someone to marry when she grows up. Even though she was too young to understand what was going on, she could clearly feel the coldness of her father and the rest of the family.
Because of this unfairness, Chikage has a special love for Sakura. She felt as if she had stolen a lot of things from Sakura, so she loved her and treated her well, hoping to compensate and comfort her, and the sisters were especially good because of it.
Xue Hezhi's attitude towards his two daughters is quite clear. Thousand Shadows can become powerful worshippers in the future, and Sakura has no cultivation value, which is his primary opinion of them.
He has always attached great importance to the cultivation of Chikage, and has been training her in various martial arts since she was very young. But Thousand Shadows hadn't been able to open the spirit core until he was eight years old, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed about it.
Therefore, on the day Chikage and Sakura were taken hostage, he seemed to want to try to see if Chikage could break through in danger, so he didn't save them.
In the end, Chikage activates the core as he expected, but Sakura dies in the disaster.
"Death--No-Enough-......"
Akamemaru's words kept echoing in Chikage's ears.
It is not a pity to say that it is not a pity to die, is his child just a tool in his heart, only useful and useless?
Sakura was treated indifferently by the whole family and even died disgracefully for this reason, which she couldn't approve of or accept.
"Ah......h
I heard only a long howl like a cry, and the voice was desolate and grief-stricken. The divine power in Chikage's body began to erupt with her resounding cry - in the form of fire, exactly as it had been when the spirit core was opened.
"A Thousand Shadows!"
Ginhui wakes up from Akamemaru's illusion and sees Chikage's out-of-control state, and immediately rushes at her and Akamemaru desperately.
"Hahahaha, give your dear sister back to you. ”
Akamemaru grinned and pushed Chikage to Ginhui, and he himself dodged the flames and fled backwards.
Due to the explosion of the power of the Thousand Shadows, a sky-high fire quickly ignited around her, and she was also pushed to the side of the Silver Radiance like a fireball, directly preventing Ling Bo and the others from pursuing Akamemaru.
In the battle, when the difference in strength between the two sides is not very large, one of the sides reacts a little late, and basically can't keep up with the rhythm of the opponent. By the time Limbo and Yamaguchi bypassed the flames of the Thousand Shadows, Akamemaru was long gone.
Flames erupted all around Chikage's body, and no one else could get into her at all. The surrounding trees crackled and burned, and a large cloud of smoke gradually spread. If left unchecked, it can lead to an unquenchable fire.
"Commander Dubu, please go and transfer two people from the water system or ice system, it won't work like this. ”
Silverglow approached Thousand Shadows with a shield of light as she yelled at Limbo.
"Okay, you can find a way to appease Chikage, I'll go right away. ”
After Ling Bo finished speaking, he hurriedly put away the fort and ran towards the main battlefield.
Protected by a shield of light, the flames erupted from the Thousand Shadows were so strong that the closer Silver Glows got to her, the more she felt like she was being steamed by a fire, and her body was radiating heat.
When he came within two meters of the Thousand Shadows, he was too hot to venture any further.
"Chikage, I'm my brother. Listen to me, calm down, it's not necessarily that way. Those images may have been faked by Akamemaru just to provoke you and help him escape.
So, don't get so excited, you're going to hurt yourself by doing this. Well, listen to my brother, and when the matter is over, let's go back to my father and ask him clearly, okay?"
Yinhui tried his best to comfort him, but Qianying was in a state of extreme grief and anger at the moment, and couldn't listen to him at all.
The three people present had no other way but to wait anxiously for help.
After waiting for a long time, I saw Ling Bo rushing back with October, Xixia, and Ono, another water system ability.
Although Ling Bo had already told October and the others about the situation of Qianying on the way here, when they saw the scene, the three of them couldn't help but be surprised.
The fire had already burned half the sky, and if it weren't for the excellent water source of Lake Gnymos, neither October nor Ono could have been confident that they would be able to extinguish it.
"That's an exaggeration, isn't that why Chikage won't burn herself out like this?" asked October with some concern.
Limbo returned: "Hurry up and put out the fire first." ”
"Yes. ”
October and Ono are ready to put out the fire even if they do their best.
Xixia held her hands and stared at the figure of a thousand shadows blurred in the smoke and flames, and tears unconsciously fell from her eyes.
Once, Chikage used this flame to save her and her mother from the hands of the wicked. Now, Chikage was crying out like madness and cruelly immolating himself with this flame.
Once again, she felt a helpless sense of frustration and sadness.
She wanted to do something for Chikage, even if it was to bring her a little comfort and make her less miserable. But she didn't know what she could do, and every time she could only cry uselessly next to her.
"Senkage-sama, please don't hurt yourself like this, please. ”
She finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.
Seeing this, Ling Bo beside him reached out and stroked her hair distressedly, "Xixia, don't cry, they will be able to extinguish the fire soon." ”
"Captain, can I do something for her? I don't want to just watch. ”
"If you really want to do it, play a tune for her, a piece that calms people's minds. ”
"Huh?"
Xixia stopped crying and thought about it for a moment, and her heart suddenly brightened. Limbo was right, she could use music to soothe Chikage.
"I see, thank you, Captain. ”
After thanking Ling Bo, Xixia summoned the musical instrument "Tian Lai" and played a gentle and melodious music and rushed into the blazing fire.
