Chapter 19: Equal
In the world of seven cities, the challenge is different from the martial arts competition, after both parties agree to challenge, put each other's right hands together, and an invisible barrier will descend between heaven and earth, and no one from the outside world can help them.
Moreover, this barrier will only disappear if one of the two sides dies, or if one of them concedes defeat.
Looking at the gradually forming barrier in front of him, the Ghost Monarch frowned, his handsome face full of complexity.
Although they were jealous of the proximity of the ghost king and Xiaoying, but now that they saw that the ghost king was worried about Xiaoying, the three ladies couldn't bear it, and they crowded to the ghost king's side to comfort them.
"Husband, don't worry, the little shadow girl is a good ghost and has a safe life!" The eldest lady said.
When the ghost king heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't think Xiaoying was a good ghost.
"Yes, yes, Little Shadow Sister has the Dead Book Protector, she will be fine." The third lady said.
The Ghost Monarch nodded in agreement, perhaps this was his only comforting condition, if there was no Book of the Dead, even if the Ghost Monarch was disgraced today, he would never let the confusion approach Xiaoying Fenhao.
The second lady who didn't speak, but reached out to hold the pale hand of the ghost king, sometimes, the tacit understanding between husband and wife, even if they don't say each other, they can understand each other's hearts.
Secretly seeing the harmony between the three ladies and the ghost monarch, Xiaoying smiled, the word fourth lady appeared in her mind, she trembled instinctively, and the smile that had just hung on her face instantly condensed into frost.
Her change made Confusion frown, her red lips swayed, and Confusion asked unwillingly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's fine." Shaking her head, Xiaoying quickly put her cranky thoughts behind her, her dark eyes focusing all her attention on Confusion.
At this moment, Bewilderment had summoned her own weapon, which was a swarthy and unremarkable knife, the blade of which was curved like a crescent moon, and under the drive of Bewilderment, the knife flowed out of a dark red color.
Without asking any more questions, Confused directly raised the knife and pointed at Xiaoying and said, "Take out your weapon." ”
Xiaoying blinked, and really took out the Book of the Dead, but after taking it out, she tragically discovered that she didn't know many functions of the Book of the Dead, and the only clear healing was the Book of the Dead's autonomy.
I didn't have time to think about it for her, the bewildered knife had already slashed over, her movements were not like a master with a knife, the light of the blade was obviously so dazzling, but it was useless under Xiaoying's easy dodge.
"The blade is so evil." Secretly muttered in his heart, even if he was not very good at using this knife, Xiaoying was still vigilant.
Different from Xiaoying's eyesight, with the experience of the ghost king, he soon found out that this knife was not confusing herself, and the reason why she was able to use this knife happened to be similar to Xiaoying.
Xiaoying's Book of the Dead was personally refined by Qianji for his wife, and this knife was when Yang Xiao died, and his thoughts about confusion turned into resentment, so this knife can still be used except for Yang Xiao himself.
"Although this knife can't emit all the evil energy, Xiaoying is still extremely dangerous." If you talk about the ghosts and ghosts present, the only one who can know that Xiaoying can't control the Book of the Dead is the Ghost King.
After another stab, Xiaoying dodged to the corner of the barrier, and the moment her body touched the barrier, Xiaoying felt a knife directly stab her heart.
The scene in front of him suddenly became hazy, and the sword that was flowing with light turned into a sword, and the person holding the sword was not confused, but the patriarch of the Zero clan that Xiaoying had seen in the turbidity.
"Are we really going to be enemies of each other?" Xiaoying heard herself say this, but she couldn't tell whether she was asking the puzzled or the person holding the sword.
"Hmph, don't ask so noblely, you and I are enemies." Confused and coldly snorted, the knife in his hand turned in a different direction, and disappeared strangely.
The moment she put away the knife, Xiaoying blinked, and the hazy scene became clear, but what she could see was still not confusion, but the young man who took back the sword that was stabbed, but what made Xiaoying puzzle was that she felt that her heart hurt so much, as if the sword was not withdrawn at all, but stabbed her body.
At the same time, the ghost king, who had been paying close attention to the competition, clenched his fist violently when he put away the knife in confusion.
The jade hand was wrapped in his fist, the second lady frowned, and the stinging hand made her feel the anger of the ghost king, but she couldn't figure out and couldn't see why the ghost king was angry.
"Xiaoying, you said that you don't remember all the memories of your life, my Soul Eater Knife has the ability to control illusions, do you remember anything?" Confused asked suddenly.
Blinked again, the scene in her eyes returned to the cemetery again, Xiaoying frowned, and then realized that the knife she took out just now was obviously not good at using it, but she still insisted, all because she wanted her to remember the things in her life.
When encountering the Soul Eater, the Ghost Monster will always think of the deepest memory buried in your heart, and that memory must be the one you have forgotten and desperately want to remember.
"Your hard work is going to be in vain." Smiling bitterly, Xiaoying squeezed the Book of the Dead in her hand.
If that picture just now was a memory she had forgotten and wanted to remember, she would rather she still be a little resentful spirit who had been ignorant for three years, and what if her mana was still shallow? What if you can't remember something happy? It was better than asking the words she didn't want to ask in such a sad tone.
"What, you don't want to remember?" Xiaoying's expression stunned the confusion, and she realized that she might be wrong.
Instead of shaking her head, she didn't even nod her head, Xiaoying just let go of the hand holding the Book of the Dead, which was automatically suspended above her head in this case.
She stretched out her right hand and said, "You don't use that knife, and I don't use the Book of the Dead, how about we have a good fight?" ”
"Okay." Confused nodded cheerfully.
Putting aside their respective weapons, they seemed to be much more relaxed, and in the bottom of their hearts, there seemed to be a voice roaring, whoever holds a weapon is cheating.
Of course, this is just a roar they can hear, if they let Qian Ji and Yang Xiao, who make weapons, hear it, they will be half angry.
Seeing that Xiaoying let go of the Book of the Undead, the black figure outside the barrier shrouded in black clothes frowned violently, and the murderous aura around him was obviously restrained.
This change immediately attracted the attention of the Ghost Monarch, who secretly glanced at him, and the Ghost Monarch also released his clenched fist, and leaned over to whisper a word beside the Second Lady, and after the Second Lady heard this, she immediately got up and left the cemetery.
Just as the second lady left here, the black figure hesitated for a moment and left.
Seeing this, the eldest lady asked with some incomprehension: "Husband, do you have any intention in letting your sister lead that person away?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Ghost Jun said calmly.
Judging from the current situation, there is no difference at all whether the black figure leaves or not, the reason why the ghost king arranged for the second lady to leave is entirely because he sensed that the breath on the book of the dead was wrong early on, and the current situation of Xiaoying can still be controlled, so there must be only a thousand machines that cause the abnormality of the book of the dead.
The Ghost Monarch was snatched alive by Qianji, and he naturally knew the strength of this young man, so after feeling the abnormality of the Book of the Dead, he quickly thought that Qianji might have encountered a stronger opponent, if that opponent came at the muffled thunder before the cemetery, that person was likely to be the city lord of Netherworld.
The ghost monarch was reluctant to answer, and the eldest lady naturally didn't dare to ask more, her eyes fell on the barrier again, and the confusion had already rushed towards Xiaoying, and when the danger was imminent, Xiaoying dodged to the side.
The distance she dodged was very close, completely in response to her lazy personality, looking at it, the ghost king began to worry, if this was a battle of life and death, Xiaoying would not be too lazy to escape, so she stood in place and waited for death.
Of course, unlike the ghost spirit outside the barrier, the puzzle is that no matter how she attacks Xiaoying, Xiaoying can always dodge, although it is dangerous every time, but being able to dodge proves that she has the strength to resist.
"I attacked before, but now it's you." I didn't want Xiaoying to continue to flash so easily, so I was confused where to stand and said.
With a sigh, Xiaoying obediently clenched her fists, she knew that it was not a way for her to dodge like this, and she would not be so stupid as to keep attacking.
Without any weapons, Xiaoying can only rely on her own fists when attacking, and the speed of mana wrapped in her feet is constantly improving, but her attack has not won her an advantage, and like her, confusion can easily dodge.
They have been fighting back and forth for a long time, and the ghosts and spirits outside the barrier have dozed off one by one, and even the ghost monarch has fallen down on the soft chair, sitting with his arms left and right and enjoying the blessings of Qi people.
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the ghosts who were originally standing and dozing off are squatting, and some are lying down, and the ghost king can't say anything when he looks at it, but the third lady thinks thoughtfully: "Husband, I don't know when this competition will end, so let's let the other contestants compete at the same time." ”
"It's fine." Oni-kun nodded in agreement.
In order to continue the competition, the two ladies in the arms of the ghost monarch were busy, and the ghost monarch who was lying alone on the soft chair smiled bitterly, thinking of the second lady who had not returned yet.
What he didn't know was that just when he sighed that he couldn't stand the loneliness, the person in the muddy place was even more ugly than he laughed, after all, the real lonely person should be him.
But fortunately, he is used to watching Xiaoying silently alone, at this moment, Xiaoying relies on his own strength to compete with confusion, and because the strength of the two of them is equal, he can take the opportunity to analyze the areas that need to be improved when Xiaoying makes moves.
He knew Xiaoying's laziness, so from the moment he accepted the task of paying attention to Xiaoying, he swore that he must create a technique for Xiaoying that could attack strongly even when he fell asleep, of course, it was difficult to create his own technique, and it was even more difficult for people like Xiaoying to create his own technique.
He had decided on this idea for a long time, and it had not been completed until now.
