Chapter 261: Controversy
Seeing that the enemy was showing her figure, Shen Mengting couldn't help but be vigilant. She took a step back, her right hand still holding the hilt of the sword she was carrying. However, instead of drawing her sword quickly, she waited for the enemy's next move.
Shen Mengting knew that no matter whether she pulled out the sword or not, the result would not make much difference. Because Zhang Zhijie's strength is too much higher than her, the only way for her to survive at present is to escape.
"What's going on? Shen Mengting! Now that I'm here, what do you have to say to me?" Zhang Zhijie stretched out his arms, and he took a few steps forward.
In this case, Shen Mengting's retreat just now would be in vain. The distance between the two has been shortened a lot.
Shen Mengting found out about this, and she also had to take small steps backwards. But she realized that this action didn't make much sense, and the magician's attack range would not be stranded by a little longer distance!
So, she stopped and looked at the enemy in a resistant manner.
"Hmph! You're really indomitable! You actually chased you here from Fukui Town!"
"Alas, don't talk like that!" Zhang Zhijie threw down his arm casually, "It's already very casual! At least let you live happily for half a month!"
"You ......"
"Oh! But when I was in Fukui Town, I should have killed you! But at that time, I was too underestimated to let you run!"
"Hmph, do you keep mentioning the things you used to do?"
"No, I'm not trying to argue with anything, I'm just going to emphasize to you that the end of your life should have been over long ago when you were in Fukui Town. But because of our light enemy, we can keep you alive to this day!"
Listening to Zhang Zhijie's remarks, Shen Mengting's heart became more and more uncomfortable, "Zhang Zhijie! Why do you keep emphasizing this! No matter how much you regret it, you shouldn't be able to express the reality that let me escape!"
"Oh! no! no!" Zhang Zhijie waved his hand quickly, "I don't regret anything! I'm just glad for you!" Perhaps seeing the confusion on Shen Mengting's face, he added again, "I'm glad you can live until now." But I'm going to have to 'mourn' next!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhijie suddenly let out an extremely impressive and profound smile, "Do you know what I want to mourn?"
It seemed that Shen Mengting was deliberately given time to answer, and Zhang Zhijie's mouth did not sound again for a long time.
Shen Mengting snorted again, she just did this to hide her current cowardice as much as possible, "What do you want to mourn, what does it matter to me? Zhang Zhijie! If you want to take any action, just do it! Don't procrastinate like this!"
"Oh, Shen Mengting, why do you always have to resist me so much?"
"For traitors! I, Shen Mengting, have always resisted to the end!"
Probably the word 'traitor' affected Zhang Zhijie something, and the laughter on his face froze. I saw him raise his eyes and glance at Shen Mengting fiercely, "Do you call me a 'traitor'?
"Do you dare to ask me why I am doing this? What have you done yourself, don't you have any points in your heart?" Shen Mengting grinded her teeth, and her face revealed an unprecedented hatred.
"Ah, what have I done?" Zhang Zhijie pretended to be stupid and denied. But judging from the sneering look on his face, he must have been very clear in his heart about what he had done.
Shen Mengting was even more angry because of this, "Zhang Zhijie! It's useless for you to pretend! The world will know what kind of person you are!"
"Ah, does the world know what kind of person I am?" Zhang Zhijie's face stiffened, and he also thrust the staff in his hand into the ground by the way, "Tell me! How will the world describe me Zhang Zhijie?"
Shen Mengting was not afraid of Zhang Zhijie's gaze at all, she glared at him and threw her indignation, "Does this still need to be described? Traitor! The thief who killed his master! And ...... And ......"
For a while, Shen Mengting couldn't think of other adjectives anymore, so she could only keep her mouth shut for the time being.
But who would have thought that when Zhang Zhijie heard these words that scandalized herself, instead of getting angry, she also showed a happy smile, "Can't you think of a worse word to describe me?"
"You don't need to be ugly! you're already ugly!"
"Hahaha! Shen Mengting! You are really interesting! Now I also know that my position in your heart is so unbearable!"
"Your position in my heart has never been unbearable!" Shen Mengting responded smoothly. But her mouth was moving, but her mind was thinking about something else.
She looked left and right to find a way to escape. Zhang Zhijie is currently in a relaxed situation as a whole, and Shen Mengting naturally has the idea of being able to run away.
"Oh, yes? Can you tell me why I'm so miserable?"
"Ahh
"What am I deceiving myself? I Zhang Zhijie need to lie to you little girl. As for the words you mentioned, they don't match me at all. Zhang Zhijie seemed to have a serious attitude, and it could be seen that he was not acting this time.
Shen Mengting couldn't accept the seriousness shown by that person, "Ha! Do you want to cheat?"
"What do I need to do!" Zhang Zhijie slammed the staff in his hand to the ground again.
Shen Mengting knocked on the ground that had been poked by the staff, which was already a small deep hole.
"You killed your own master with your own hands, I'm not wrong about that!" Shen Mengting asked tentatively.
But what is surprising is that Zhang Zhijie showed a crooked mouth and disdainful appearance, "Ah? You said that I killed my master! Or did you do it yourself? Wahahaha...... You're so good at making up stories, aren't you?"
For Zhang Zhijie's playful appearance, Shen Mengting's heart burst into anger again. The reason is nothing else, it is precisely because Yang Jiening has always been the person that Shen Mengting respects the most.
"Zhang Zhijie, now that it's happened, do you want to die and not admit it?"
"I'm in front of you, I need to die and don't admit anything, what do I need to do!" Zhang Zhijie straightened his chest, "I didn't kill Yang Jiening." He had already been seriously wounded when he left the kingdom of Sauron! Although I was indeed in charge of the pursuit, at least I did not come up to do it! I had already given him more than one chance when I was on the border between the two countries. But he is stubborn, what do you tell me to do?"
Zhang Zhijie said very sincerely, if he didn't know this person's behavior well, Shen Mengting would probably follow his rhythm.
"What are you farting here!What Uncle Yang Jiening was doing at the time, you don't know it!" Shen Mengting let out a complaining accusation roar, "He was in ...... at the time Doing something to resist aggression. But what about you! You actually help other countries invade your own mother country! Zhang Zhijie, won't your face feel red?"
"What are you talking nonsense again, little girl? Now, you are still obsessed with the act of splitting mankind! Where am I helping to do evil? I am thinking about the human race! If humanity wants to gain a foothold in Celos, it must unite with the outside world! Only in this way can we get the revival of humanity! And you, including your father, and that old-fashioned bad old man, are still thinking about what great things this Saran country can achieve, and admit that the kingdom of Sauron is invading! Let me ask you, don't you feel ashamed of this?"
Zhang Zhijie's tone is sonorous and powerful, definitely not like pretending to be emotional.
Shen Mengting was a little speechless, she looked at Zhang Zhijie with the most intense gaze. At that time, she didn't release a word at the moment.
"Hmm, what's wrong......? Really. It's hard to communicate with you Saran!"
"Zhang Zhijie, don't forget, you yourself used to be a Saran!"
"No, I'm a Sauron, a Sauron. Of course, there is no need to emphasize the national vocabulary of Sauron. I should say that!" Zhang Zhijie crooked his mouth, and one of the tiger teeth in his mouth showed out, "I am an authentic human being!" As he spoke, Zhang Zhijie's hands were raised, as if he was holding something.
"You...... You ......" Shen Mengting couldn't find the words to refute again.
"All right, little girl, I've already said what I should have said, and you're speechless. So what's next......" Zhang Zhijie stopped talking a little, and his hands were immediately put down.
Shen Mengting could feel that the other party seemed to be gathering qi, and after taking a deep breath, she quickly pulled out the giant sword she was carrying. She heard only the sound of metal rubbing, and she was indeed holding the sword in her hand. Of course, the sharp sword blade was even more aimed at the enemy Zhang Zhijie.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhijie also hooked his mouth and showed a slight evil smile, "You are preparing to fight! Well, I know, you have no reason, so you want to use force to solve it! But have you ever thought about how much force you have?"
"Zhang Zhijie! No matter how much you quibble, you can't wash away your act of betraying the country and killing your master!"
"I say it again! I didn't betray the country, and I can't blame me for the death of Yang Jiening's bad old man!" Zhang Zhijie's two eyeballs in his eye sockets seemed to pop out, "If you have bad ears, I'll tell you again! The reason why I defected to the Sauron Kingdom is for the future of our human race! Only the Sauron Kingdom can become the leader of the human race, and can represent the human race to challenge the other races of Celos." And as for the death of that bad old man, he also suffered it on his own!"
After a slight pause, Zhang Zhijie continued with a straight chest, "When I caught him at the border, he was already dying. I still remember the old master-apprentice relationship, and give him the opportunity to surrender and hand over the papers. Who knows that he is stubborn, and he will not listen to me. Then I really can't help it. But even then, he didn't die at my hands in the end. He escaped from his injuries and did not heal to die. So, can you blame me?"
Zhang Zhijie said a long list of words, but he didn't look a little out of breath.
Shen Mengting didn't know how to refute, because if the words were separated from Zhang Zhijie, there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.
"So, Shen Mengting, little girl, don't want to put any on me in the future, I'll be angry!" Zhang Zhijie's gaze was a little dull, and there was no trace of charm coming out of it.
Shen Mengting's body poured forward, "You...... You ......"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Zhang Zhijie, just keep quibbling!" Shen Mengting raised her right arm holding the sword and firmly locked the head of the sword on Zhang Zhijie, "Now you are really like a Sauron." When I do bad things, I often want to put on a very great and honorable banner!"
"Oh, are you saying I'm making excuses?"
"Of course you're making excuses! Actually, Uncle Yang Jiening has already told me about it. The reason why you betrayed the country in the first place was because you felt that you would not be reused in Saran. You think that the officials of Salan are too dependent on seniority, and you are very young at the time, so you will definitely not be reused. That's why you're going to take refuge in the Sauron Empire. Shen Mengting looked directly at Zhang Zhijie's eyes, "Hmph! It seems that your original decision was still correct, because ......"
Even though Shen Mengting was talking about something she thought she hated, her current expression was playful, "Because the humans in the Sauron Empire are all egoists like you, they only know strength, as long as strength is strong, it means everything." Therefore, a brute like you will naturally be mixed up in this country!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Mengting was still observing Zhang Zhijie's actions. Guessing whether he would suddenly get angry, Shen Mengting also spread her feet apart and prepared to face the battle in stride.
But who would have thought that Zhang Zhijie was not angry at all. The corners of his mouth even hooked a hint of ridicule, "You woman! Alas! It seems that that bad old man must have told you a lot about me!"
"Of course!" Shen Mengting sank her eyelids, "Once upon a time, you were Uncle Yang Jiening's most important apprentice, and you were also the person he cared about the most. Perhaps he would never have thought that one day you would betray the Kingdom of Saran and go to the arms of the Sauron Empire!"
"I say it again! I have not betrayed the kingdom of Saran! I have defected to the kingdom of Sauron because I want to restore the human race. Please don't ask me to repeat the words again, okay?"
"Are you still recognizing this reason?" Shen Mengting's grip on the hilt of the sword deepened, and there was a sound of friction, "Then you should tell me! Why can the Sauron Empire represent humanity, and why do they have a reason to invade other countries?"
This time, Zhang Zhijie played a light 'hum' sound, and his shoulders continued to rise and fall with the change of context, "Does this still need to be made explicit? The strength of the Sauron Kingdom in Cellos, you should be very clear!"
"But its strength is based on aggression against other countries!"
"So what? Humanity was originally composed of a single country, and its name was Shenzhou Country! And now, Sauron Country is the best successor of Shenzhou Country, and it can naturally represent human beings!"
"Zhang Zhijie!
"It's not a strong word, and it's not up to you, a little girl, to have the final say!" Zhang Zhijie's mouth showed a hint of blood.
"I won't be fooled by your crooked reasoning! For the invasion of the Sauron Empire, I, Shen Mengting...... Will you resist to the end?"
"Oh, is it?" Zhang Zhijie's facial expression relaxed. However, his body was unusually tense, "It seems that you are just like that bad old man!
The 'bad old man' in his mouth is naturally the master he once respected the most-Yang Jiening.
"Zhang Zhijie, you really respect your former master!Now you are a 'bad old man'!" Shen Mengting squirted out a sentence with a slight mockery. It's just that there is no smile on her face that should have appeared.
"Don't be sarcastic about me. In fact, since the day I took refuge in the country of Sauron, he is no longer my master!" Zhang Zhijie's eyes were a little empty, and he also shrugged his arm with a cane, "I naturally don't have to respect him too much!"
"But have you ever thought about it! Without him, there would be no current you!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Zhijie suddenly sighed softly, and the staff in his hand was also raised, "I, Zhang Zhijie, can have today, and it is definitely not achieved by anyone." Everything I got was the result of my own struggle!"
"What a shame you say! I remember when you were a child, you didn't even have to eat. It was Uncle Yang who saw that you were pitiful and took you in. Then he also saw your talent for being a magician, and made an exception to take you as an apprentice. How I think you can become a master magician now, it's all thanks to your uncle. Why don't you recognize anything in a blink of an eye?"
"You woman! give me less nonsense!"
Zhang Zhijie has already used 'this woman' to describe Shen Mengting, which also means that he will no longer stick to his past emotions, but will do it directly.
"What do you want?" Shen Mengting saw a clue, and she immediately maintained a more vigilant state.
"I'll give you two choices!" Zhang Zhijie stretched out two fingers, "First, surrender to me immediately, and hand over the black covered document bag that Yang Jiening gave you!" Second, ......" seemed to be pausing for something, and he didn't answer immediately.
"Second, what is it?"
"The second is...... You go directly to Huangquan!" Zhang Zhijie's meaning was very obvious. Either surrender first, then everyone is easy to talk to. Either it's the second, that is, just die.
Zhang Zhijie is very confident in his strength, and he thinks that if Shen Mengting does not surrender, he will definitely be killed by himself. Therefore, the second option given by Zhang Zhijie is the word 'death'.
"I think I've always expressed my thoughts!" Shen Mengting waved the sword in her hand, "I won't surrender no matter what!"
"Well, don't blame me for being rude!"
"If you want to come, why bother to be so pretending!"
In the face of Shen Mengting's ridicule, Zhang Zhijie hooked his mouth and chuckled, "Heh! You really have to be the same as that bad old man! Moreover, you are about to face the same fate as him!"
After that, Zhang Zhijie slightly carried the staff in his hand. But it was this slight movement that caused a burst of blue energy to burst out of his body in an instant.
Shen Mengting knew that that master-level magician had already done his work.
Afterthought, she gasped, and Shen Mengting felt as if her end was coming.
