Chapter 66: Joint Encirclement and Suppression
"In other words, the simplest and most direct way of violence, devouring the power of others, whether it is a living creature or a blade?" Ning Yue understood, but he sighed for a long time.
"I have long heard that powerful divine weapons often condense an incomparably astonishing aura, and the souls of the dead slain by them are not only devoured by their own strength, but also the resentment when they fall is also transformed into a completely different force, attached to the slaughtering blade. I didn't expect that one day, I would do the same. ”
The sword spirit shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "The weak eat the strong, and the superior dominates the life and everything of the lower." Isn't this the case in this world? Could it be that when the master eats meat, he will also pity the slaughter of those domestic animals? In the eyes of the strong, the strength of the weak can be used by himself, which is his food......
Suddenly, her voice stopped. Because, as soon as Ning Yue's sword hilt reached out against her chin, he slowly lifted it up, facing his face that was still hidden in the faint mist.
"Sword Spirit, do you really have amnesia? Some words don't look like a person who has forgotten what happened before can say casually. That disdain and indifference, who is your true identity? Or rather, what race of powerhouse are you?"
Shaking his head slightly, the sword spirit replied, "Although the memory is broken, it is certain that my master and I are naturally of the same race. I may have been a little rude to what I said just now, but it came to my mind inexplicably, so I didn't think much about saying it. If it causes trouble to the owner, be sure to pay attention in the future. ”
Ning Yue sighed, pulled out the hilt of the sword against the other party's chin, and turned around and took steps.
"I'm thinking, if your words are instinctive, then how terrifying was you in the past?"
"No matter what I was once and what I am now, I am only the spirit of the sword, and you will always be the master of my service. ”
The sword spirit bowed his head and knelt down again, and the hanging long fluttered slightly, and in the fog and shadow, there was a trace of strange brilliance in his eyes.
Of course, these Feng Ren couldn't see it at all, but he just held the sword in his hand, and shouted back: "Wake up some more demonic beast remnants for me, this time in special training, I have to deal with high-level ones!"
"Understood. ”
The sword shadow roared horizontally, the dancing cold light tore through the dark red void, and wisps of severed remnant souls could be seen everywhere in the dim heaven and earth, and the dancing scarlet sword light was deep and cold, trembling souls.
Standing far away in the corner of the mirror-like earth, the slender shadow spread across the ground and stretched long, slightly deformed. The sword spirit quietly looked at Feng Ren who was waving the sword shadow in the demon soul, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger.
"Yes, that's how you perceive the power of the sword, and let your power become a part of the sword. The host, you do a very good job......"
......
When he woke up, Ning Yue casually glanced out the window, it was already dusk, and the orange-red remnant sun spread among the clouds, unable to tell whether it was warm or desolate.
"Damn, that's not enough. Those demonic beast remnants who are fast enough are treacherous tricks that can't possess that petite figure. I'm afraid that the special training she once received, and the baptism of killing and blood in actual combat, is far better than mine. That kind of response and the means to get to the point...... Red Blade, that person is a bit like you. ”
Shaking his head again and again, he laughed at himself again, tried many times in the sword space, and killed a lot of the remnant souls of the fast monsters, and also fought with the demon souls like a civet, but no matter what, he didn't have the feeling he had before.
Thinking about it now, he even felt that even if he was able to move the first type of Dark Xuan's instantaneous extinction, in the face of that girl with a strange background, it was likely that he would lose more than win.
After thinking about it a little more, Ning Yue suddenly gritted his teeth, only to feel a faint pain in his head, accompanied by a little dizziness, very uncomfortable, his body and limbs were a little heavy, and he was extremely tired.
I was a little tired from fighting for half a night, but I drank a little condensation for recovery, and when I wanted to sleep, I thought about it in my heart, and then tossed in the space of the sword for a long time, and I just slept a little just now, which is obviously not enough.
Now, there's only one thing he wants to do most – sleep.
"That's it, no matter how he should deal with it, he can't think of a headache, so let's rest first. Anyway, no one came to urge me to train on it. ”
When he closed his eyes again, a faint surprise also stirred up in his heart. It seems that it was a little too quiet here, and since returning from the mission, none of the rest of the Red Wolves have been seen.
However, the strong tiredness soon made Ning Yue stop thinking, and a slight snoring sounded from the side of the pillow, and he also fell into a deep sleep.
It seemed a little out of place to start catching up on sleep when it was almost dark, but he had never cared about this kind of thing.
I don't know how long I slept in a daze, but Ning Yue felt very comfortable, I hadn't slept so greedily for a long, long time, and I was able to sleep like this when I was tired, that kind of beautiful taste was tantamount to nectar after a long drought, and it seemed to be ordinary but because of the different situations, my heart was extremely satisfied.
When I woke up again, it was already dark outside the window, and the night had fallen again, and it was very quiet.
This area is not the kind of night market gold cave with bright lights, and naturally there are no pedestrians at night, and it is lonely.
"I slept well enough this night, but I was a little hungry again. Counting, it's almost a whole day and a night without eating, right?"
Ning Yue sat on the bed and stretched, snorting very satisfied, and there was a slight popping sound of bones running in on his body, crispy as fried beans.
"What a coincidence? ”
The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, Chang Xuanxuan dragged a tray into the room, put it on the small table next to the bed, and said with a smile: "How about it, let's eat together?"
Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, looked at Chang Xuanxuan, and then at the wine and food on the table, his face twitched slightly, and he exclaimed: "Did you just come, or did you wait outside for a long time, just looking for an opportunity to come in?"
"Is there any reason for me to wait for you? If not, I'll take it back and eat it myself, and that's all left in the kitchen of this inn, and the cook will have already gone to sleep. ”
Throwing a peanut into his mouth, Chang Xuanxuan's chewing sound was crisp, and the hunger coming from Ning Yue's stomach became more and more intense, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed a bun from the tray and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Did I say I wouldn't eat it?"
"Isn't that it? Fortunately, when I was about to take it back to my room, I heard movement in your room and came to see it. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to eat together. ”
Chang Xuanxuan smiled, sat directly on the edge of the bed, and gobbled up a few random pieces of food in the tray with Ning Yue.
"I'm full. This is the first time I have eaten indiscriminately as soon as I wake up like this, and it is also the first time I have slept and woken up at this time. ”
Ning Yue leaned on the head of the bed and shook his head and smiled lightly, thinking about how many things he had done for the first time in this period of time. Still, it feels pretty good.
Hearing this, Chang Xuanxuan also smiled: "In the future, maybe you have to get used to it." Red wolves mostly perform tasks at night, and after a fight, it is common to sleep all day during the day. ”
"You mean, this time I passed the test?" Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, and vaguely heard the meaning of the words.
Chang Xuanxuan nodded and said, "Even if something happens, the goal of killing Guo Mingtong has been completed." As your first mission, you did a great job. I suppose even if it's as strict as Chifeng, he won't say anything, right? When the boss found out, he must have nodded. ”
Suddenly, Ning Yue reacted to something and asked, "Wait a minute." You mean, they don't know the outcome yet? Could it be that they haven't been back here since we left?"
Although his location is now an inn, it is different from that in Qingfeng City, this is completely the stronghold of the red wolf, the inn is just an uninformed person hired to operate the cover, and the real stronghold is underground, it is very convenient to communicate with each other, and it is impossible to have a situation where the information has not been transmitted back for a whole day.
"I have to say that your intuition is sensitive and your judgment is accurate. While we were on a mission, the boss had more important tasks to do, and they would be able to come back in a few days. Now, I am the only official member of the Red Wolves who are still here. ”
Chang Xuanxuan's tone suddenly sank, and his eyes were fixed on Ning Yue's eyes, as if he had something else to say, but he wanted to see his reaction first.
"Don't worry, there's no reason for me to run away. Now, what excuse do I have for not continuing to mingle with the red wolf?" Ning Yue shrugged his shoulders, if it had been a month ago, if he had learned of such a good opportunity, it would be impossible for him not to escape.
"That's just the premise that you don't know one thing. ”
Chang Xuanxuan made a fool of Xuanxuan, and after looking at Ning Yue for a while, he spoke again: "Before, you asked me to help inquire about the affairs of Yunxu Sword Pavilion, and there is news, and it is also related to your senior brother." ”
Suddenly, Ning Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, he grinned, and his voice was much more solemn: "What happened to my senior brother?"
Spreading his hands, Chang Xuanxuan said slowly: "This has to start with you." A few months ago, a demonic beast in several vassal empires in the southwest of the Snow Dragon Empire rebelled and committed a lot of blood debts and murders. You should be clear about this, right?"
"Yes, I killed it, and that's when everything that happened began in the future. Ning Yue nodded, not evading. The trajectory of his life can be said to have changed completely after that incident. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to believe what he's been going through in the past few months.
"It's a pity that you're only killing a female beast. At that time, the male beast was still completing its transformation in the deep mountains and old forests. When it managed to take that step, it found that its partner was gone, and its anger naturally implicated the surrounding towns. It was a tyrannical killing like a slaughter city, according to the report of the strong and the army who arrived at dawn, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, purgatory on earth. Next, you should be able to guess the response of the sect, right?"
Chang Xuanxuan said lightly, but in Ning Yue's heart, there was already a storm in his heart.
At the beginning, he had witnessed all the evil deeds of the mother beast, and the mutilated corpses of the slaughtered villages were soaked in pools of blood, and the tragic scene that defied the way of heaven was still vivid.
"In other words, another joint encirclement and suppression has begun?"
