Chapter 656: Seeing the World Through Different Eyes
If this had happened a few years ago, maybe Promise would have stood behind Xerxes with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's a pity that the promise at this time will not have such thoughts again. For what seemed to Xerxes to be enough to buy the gods was worthless in the eyes of the promise!
Power, wealth, women, etc., are just low-hanging fruit for the promise at this time. The only thing that can really impress him is strong strength. And this is something Xerxes could not give.
"That's all you can do?" When Xerxes threw his hands up and narcissistic about what he had. A fluttering word of promise forcibly dragged him back from the illusion.
"......" Xerxes looked at Xu Promise in a daze, looking at the sneer on the corner of his mouth and the disdain in his eyes. In an instant, the whole body was cold.
How could there be such a person? How can there be people in this world who can't be bought?! Xerxes stood in front of his luxurious throne in a daze, his eyes full of doubt.
In his life, he never met someone he couldn't buy. No matter how strong a warrior is, no matter how great a warrior is. Even, even those demon gods who make people smell and change their color, and are extremely bloodthirsty and life-sucking, he can buy them!
As soon as he was born, he was rich all over the world, and both men and demons bowed down before his throne. Xerxes never encountered a real setback.
However, at this time, the calm man in front of him brought him an extremely strange and inexplicable emotion that he had never had. It was a palpitating feeling.
Xerxes didn't know what was going on in his heart for a feeling called fear. Although the gaze that promised to look at him was calm, his gaze was simply to look at another dead man!
The rich murderous aura was very terrifying and intense, making Xerxes shudder as if it were substance.
The promise would kill him, both for the mission and for one less monster to bring disaster to the world, and Xerxes would die.
The only difference is that Promise still wants to earn extra money in this world, so Xerxes can live for another three days. You have to live three days in your sanity before you die.
Because if he was unconscious, the Persian army might choose to retreat. In that case, the promised task is also tantamount to being completed ahead of schedule.
The promise had been decided, and Xerxes could live for three more days. But if you live for three days in a very miserable, very angry way. To drive Xerxes into madness, wanting revenge instead of returning home.
"You, what are you going to do?!" When Promise stepped forward, Xerxes, trembling in his heart, could no longer maintain his power as the king of the gods. His voice trembled as he looked at the promise, unable to even utter the roar of the guards.
"Huh?" Promise paused and looked at a table made of pure gold next to Xerxes' throne. There was an oil lamp on it that resembled Aladdin's magic lamp.
"Could it be that Aladdin?" Promise found something that had puzzled him before.
The reason why he had to storm this tent before was to teach Xerxes a lesson and force him not to retreat. It was because Xu Promise felt that the demon god had not completely dissipated, and there was still a trace of remnant soul left.
"It turns out that this is the real core." Xu Yu stepped forward and picked up the magic lamp, and he could even feel the tremor of his soul on the magic lamp.
Xerxes was quietly relieved to see that Xu Yu had picked up the magic lamp.
He had been genuinely frightened by the promise just now. Even the promise did nothing, said nothing. Just looking at him, but the intense pressure that was almost suffocating was something he hadn't seen in the face of the demon god.
"So you like this." Xerxes barely laughed.
He tried his best to regain his dignity at this time, coughed and promised to introduce the magic lamp, "This is a powerful demon god who lives in the depths of the desert. However, since it has been defeated by powerful warriors, it should be at your disposal. Just if you want to summon this demon god from the magic lamp, you need to sacrifice eighteen beauty places. The blood of the son... Yes!!! ā
Xerxes didn't finish his sentence when a huge force slammed into his nose, sending it flying in an instant.
The so-called sacrifice is nothing more than a matter of human life. Regardless of whether it is voluntary or not, even if it is voluntary, it is actually in a state of blindness and becomes voluntary. This contempt for life is something that no individual can bear.
Xerxes, who didn't wait for him to be on top and didn't care about other people's lives at all, had already swung his fist and smashed it on Xerxes's nose after he finished speaking.
Several nose rings snapped in an instant, and flew out along with the crispy meat on the nose.
Xerxes felt as if he had suddenly been hit on the nose with a hammer. The body was completely uncontrollable, and under the severe pain, he fell directly to the ground with a dull sound.
"Ah~~~" The women who didn't care even if they saw Xu Yu suddenly appear, immediately began to scream after seeing the God King spurting blood to the ground. The sound was extremely harsh.
'Huh~'The guards who had been guarding the camp for a long time were loyal to Xerxes, and when they heard the screams, they rushed in.
In the distance, the soldiers of many other tribes in the barracks had flickering expressions and wandering eyes.
In addition to the Persians' own armies, the soldiers of the many tribes and vassal nations who had been forced to join the war even wished that Xerxes would die on the spot when they saw the powerful killing god who had promised him enter Xerxes' tent!
The conquest and subjugation of this era are all behind the blood of Chiguoguo.
These tribes and countries conquered by the Persians all have blood feuds with the Persians. It's just that he chose to surrender because he didn't dare to face the result of annihilation because of his lack of strength.
If they had promised to kill Xerxes, they would have jumped up and applauded.
Behind him rang out the sound of dense footsteps and the shouts of Xerxes' guards. Xu didn't look back at all, just with a wave of his hand, dozens of kobold monsters of the Reaper Legion with majestic bodies and cold weapons suddenly appeared in the camp.
Xerxes had previously referred to the soldiers who had been transformed by drugs and witchcraft as the undead legions. It is believed that the terrifying appearance and cruelty of these soldiers alone are enough to deter all opponents.
However, at this time, Promise summoned the Grim Reaper Legion to make these people understand what horror is!
'Zi~~~' The extremely sharp bronze crescent shovel swept over. Before a Persian soldier could even react, he suddenly felt a chill on his waist, followed by a heart-rending howl of despair.
'Ah!! The soldier who had been cut in half could no longer hold the sword in his hand. Seeing himself fall to the ground, his eyes were full of despair and fear.
In intense pain, he screamed and dragged half of his body to crawl on the luxurious camel hair carpet. A long trail of blood dragged out behind him, staining the expensive camel hair carpet the color of blood!
The guards who were able to storm the tent at this moment were not all truly loyal.
Maybe many people are because their families are in the country, and if Xerxes is hurt or even dies as a guard, the whole family will be doomed. But at this time, they had no other choice. Even if a large group of terrifying monsters suddenly appeared in front of them, they could only grit their teeth and rush up.
"Why?" Xerxes fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood in his nose poured out as if he had turned on a faucet.
At this moment, he didn't care about the piercing pain and the broken bridge of his nose, and looked at the promise in disbelief. He didn't understand why he had turned his face on the promise, he had already promised to give him the treatment of the vice king!
In fact, the difference between Promise and Xerxes is only the difference in the circumstances in which they lived and the education they received.
What he promised was a moral education in modern civilization, advocating equality for all and great respect for life. No matter what kind of life it is, existence has value and meaning.
Xerxes, on the other hand, is the opposite, and from the moment he was born, his status was decidedly higher than that of the vast majority. Xerxes, who has the ability to decide the life and death of others at will, certainly does not understand what respect for life is.
In Xerxes's eyes, whether it was the human life used for sacrifice or those cannon fodder on the battlefield. It's just a stepping stone used for his imperial hegemony.
Does he care about a stone? Obviously, it can't be. Therefore, Xerxes did not understand why Promise was so angry.
In Xerxes's opinion, he had already given generous terms that even he could not refuse. One person is below ten thousand people, and the corpse is thousands of miles away with a wave of his arm. Enjoy endless power and wealth all your life, and the beauty of the country. What else could you ask for? If you don't want this condition, what do you want?
"Do you want to be the king of Persia?" Xerxes, who was full of doubts, spoke in a muffled voice because his nose was still spurting blood, "This is impossible, no one will admit you." No matter how strong you are, it can't be. ā
Promise stepped forward, ignoring the tent behind him, which had been mired in bloody rain and terrible howls. Squatting down, he frowned slightly and looked at Xerxes lying on the ground, "There is a saying that the Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory." Have you heard of it? ā
Xerxes had a blank expression. Lao Tzu must not have been to Persia when he sent a letter to Guguan, and Xerxes naturally did not hear this sentence.
"We are people of two worlds." Promise stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xerxes's shoulder: "Many things that seem to you to be as simple as breathing and drinking water are in fact heinous crimes against humanity in my eyes. So. ā
Xu Yu raised his head and looked at the roof of the camp that had been broken when he rushed in before, and looked at the bright moon. He lowered his gaze and looked at Xerxes with a puzzled face, and nodded with a smile, "I'm going to destroy you on behalf of the moon today!" ā
"Anti-human? Moon?! Xerxes, who couldn't figure out what the promise was talking about, was dumbfounded. When he opened his mouth and was about to say something, he suddenly let out a terrible howl of pain.
Xerxes' howl of pain was so loud that even the Persian soldiers outside the camp couldn't help but shudder when they heard it!
