It wasn't until the footsteps in the distance were infinitely close, and when he finally stopped in front of him, that Su Can realized that he had not entered the Elysium after death, but was still lingering in this abominable world. The pain is still there, and it is heart-wrenching.

- Don't do that. Don't, don't live. Save me, save me, save me, let me go to hell.

As soon as this thought came out, pain and fear swept through his body again. This time his will and desire to survive were completely exhausted, and his torso was completely charred, and there was no reaction or sound, only the soul mourning and wailing.

"Oops—let me see which poor little fellow is this who has lost his way in the snow. ”

The voice was gentle and calm, but not very friendly, like a deep lake with murderous intentions. The visitor was dressed in a splendid costume, a fur coat draped over the flowing tribute soft satin, his demeanor was elegantly stretched, the contours of his face under the curled hair were smooth, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and beautiful, and his phoenix eyes were indifferent and alienated, as if the meaning of his existence was "judgment".

The person who came was none other than Zhao Li, the king of Shen. He approached with a big, fluffy cat as black as coal. He squatted down in front of Su Can, and it took a lot of eyesight to confirm which direction of the charred black body in front of him was the head. He picked up Su Can's head and looked at him quietly for a while: his muscles were stiff and straight, his pupils' reaction to light completely disappeared, and he was almost a dead man. He listened carefully for a few moments before he heard the sound of his slow, shallow breathing, or perhaps a hallucination from the breeze blowing.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "In order to protect my dear brother, it is not a pity to go to fight against the divine beasts of the Huayang Sect. The ability is deprived, the fire is used to be devoured, and there is no turning back. How touching, Su Can, has become unrecognizable, has become worse than dead, and has surrendered his soul to the control of demons, do you really not regret it? You thought you would die with the Nian Beast, but unfortunately, you found that you were still alive. ”

He saw the eyes in the dark face move slightly. It is not easy to be able to move, and it must be because of the huge touch and deep pain that he will have such an almost corpse-like reaction.

Zhao Yan held his head, looked into his eyes, and chuckled: "You think death is the end." Your life and will are so tenacious that at the last moment, your soul actually acknowledges you again, and at that moment, you are not harmed by light and fire. How ironic, when you want to fight, your ability betrays you, and you can't survive, and when you want to kill yourself, you are trusted again, and you can't die. The injuries on your body now are still the same ones caused by using your abilities before, and they haven't disappeared or worsened, and if you die, I'm afraid it will take a while. ”

He saw tears flashing in Su Can's eyes. This is unbearable pain, there is no way to cry, it is pain to die and live, but you still have to endure it, it is a living purgatory, it is the most terrible torture in the world, and it is at the mercy of others.

The smile on Zhao Yan's face gradually disappeared, turning into a strange calm, he stroked the cat's head, and said softly: "You probably already know that 'Yan' has been eliminated, and his illusion has been injected with more power, thus covering the entire Bianjing City, but it will not last long, and it will gradually dissipate because it exceeds its own load." There's not much time left for the Huayang Sect, so it's good to fight quickly, but did you know that Narushin was also executed? Although her ability to 'read minds' and 'fall into dreams' is very strong, there are great limitations after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that if she is unhappy and lies to us. Therefore, the Sect Master placed her power in the 'center' and let him feel it himself. In the 'center', the human mind has nowhere to hide, including your thoughts, which will be fully heard and known by the Master, which is why the Master has taken your abilities out of your body. So, why did you betray the Huayang Sect?"

Su Can's body trembled slightly.

"Ah, you hear me. Since you can really hear it, then I'll move on. Zhao Tong saw such a reaction, knowing that he already knew the result, and a burst of happiness suddenly surged in his heart, so he stood up, lifted the cat into the air, and gently loosened his hand, and the big cat fell into the snow with a "snap", and landed beside Su Can, soft like a rag, lifeless, and had been dead for a long time. Zhao Yan looked at the cat's corpse calmly, there was no emotion in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose and rose, revealing his craziest and most terrifying smile, silently, like a nightmare, tearing his handsome facial features apart. He paced back and forth, looked at Su Can, and said unhurriedly.

"You probably don't want to hear your 'past' a second time. But for the sake of the integrity of the story I'm telling, I'm sorry I'm going to poke you in the back again. You are so gifted that you have become one of the most favored people in the reserve with imperial equipment, but you have just happened to be in time for the sudden illness of the first emperor, that is, my father, and the palace has tried everything to restore him to his original state, and you have just become a 'test subject' and have been killed. Lord Liu is merciful, you are lucky, after you were rescued, you survived again, and finally became a royal weapon. Although it was injected into the souls of ordinary people, it has some memories that 'belong to others', such as being born to use flames, and once loyal to the Huayang Sect, but was hunted down and killed by the royal family. These memories are very dark and painful, but after all, they can continue to live, and it really can't help but be said to be a gift - this is the version that Lord Liu told you, the so-called 'truth', which has always convinced you.

"But—before the accident happened to the Holy Lord, you met the Master. He tells you about your true past. You were actually born in a famous martial arts family, and before you had any memories, your brother went to participate in a martial arts tournament, and was taken into account for the powerful family heirloom method, and was exterminated by the Nine Clans, in order to train you to be a royal weapon—who said that you can only be loyal to the emperor with imperial equipment, and you can't have weaknesses? But you don't know anything about this. There are actually a lot of such families, and they can't find out the murderers behind the scenes, everyone is dead, even if they are relatives who have been friends for generations and have a sense of justice, they can't make a noise if they find out, they will only be slaughtered one after another, because it is the Great Song royal family who controls all this behind the scenes. Therefore, the sect leader hopes that you can be loyal to the Huayang Sect and introduce Duan Wang Zhao Ji here, so that the demon beast can solve his life. If I had complied, I wouldn't have had to make that much effort now.

"All of the above sounds ideal, very doable, and really implemented. But what kind of person is Su Can? He is the one who was selected to survive in the end, and he is also a student of Liu Anshi, the tiger of the palace, no matter what he thinks, he will not be so easily defected, right? No matter how rebellious he is in his heart, he will have a stronger ideological imprint to limit himself. Therefore, in the end, he will probably be on the same side as Duanwang. So, the Master's real purpose is for you to 'bring them here' - and nothing will happen to you after that. And you? Deprive you of your abilities, let you die, and your mission will be completed. You probably know that, Su Can.

"But I'm not done with my story yet. Wouldn't it be boring to listen to repetitive stories all the time, especially at the end of your life, would you feel impatient, right? Excuse me, but I'm going to tell you a version of your 'soul' that you never knew......

"You came from a famous martial arts family. Speaking of martial arts, it is actually a person with special abilities, and the people of your entire family have the ability to control fire, and they are loyal to the Huayang Sect. At that time, this belonged to demonic arts, and it was to be punished by the Nine Clans, so you tried your best to cover up this ability and re-study and correct the martial arts. Coincidentally, the elder brother of the family had to go to the martial arts competition, and he was in a hurry, and suddenly summoned flames, causing a lot of casualties. So the nine clans of Zhulian suffered heavy casualties, and you were the only one who survived, was raised by the Huayang Sect, and was sent to the palace to be trained as an orphan before you could remember. When you were a teenager, it happened that the first emperor had an accident, and it happened that you could use the power of 'flame' with peace of mind on the grounds of "injecting souls", so he sent someone to kill you and resurrect you. You're also very competitive, and you have become a royal weapon along the way, and you don't think it's strange that strange memories remain in your mind. You also take physical 'betrayal' for granted. In fact, that resurrection is better to plant the fruit of control, which is equivalent to putting Gu on you, which is no different from Wang Sunchen back then. The Master is in control of your body all the time. At the 'center' of your mind, your every move is under the master's control. As soon as he thinks about it, you will be 'backlashed'.

"This is the final truth, Su Can. I really think you're very pitiful. If someone cuts open your soul, they will see that it is already 'something that cannot be seen'. Horror, sorrow, twisted, ugly, struggling in shackles throughout. Once you've lived again, you're never you. ”

After saying this, Zhao Yan sighed. He squatted down, re-held Su Can's chin, and said softly: "But what I didn't expect was that at the last moment, your will would be so resolute." At that moment, you are completely free from the master's control, you are free, you surprise him, he realizes that he can't control you anymore, he is anxious, he is angry. Even though you can't live anymore, he's still very angry and wants you to die right away. There was no way, so I came. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from the placket of his clothes, shook it in his hand, and said, "The wine in this is a spirit that has been brewed for a hundred years, very spicy, very mellow, and like fuel, just a little bit." You've been doing it for so many years, haven't you drunk a few times, and you're afraid of affecting your judgment? Just drink enough this time, come, raise your head, I'll feed you ......"

Zhao Yan opened Su Can's mouth, and black crumbs fell. Su Can's flesh was already charred, but the situation in his mouth was normal, Bai Sensen's neat teeth, pink soft tongue - fire and ice only destroyed from the outside, but did not completely penetrate his body. So he's still alive, he's alive by the functions of his body. Zhao Yan opened his mouth with two fingers, inserted the wine in the small bottle into his throat, and shook it a few times. When he pulled the vial out, there was not a drop of liquid in the vial, and there was blood in the mouth. Zhao Tong casually threw the bottle, the bottle fell next to the dead cat, and his free hand probed into Su Can's mouth again, one up, one down, click-his jaw was dislocated, and he couldn't close it anymore.

"You did a great job, it was perfect, it was completely expected. However, the death of Hatsuri's sister was unexpected. This is something that the sect leader did not expect. Zhao Yan's voice was muffled and not very happy. But then, his tone slowly became happy, and he smiled, "Forget it, I'm almost done." Cheers to my victory, Su Can. ”

He stood up, and above his head flew a huge bird, which had only one leg, but landed steadily.

Zhao Tong tore off a small piece of soft cloth from his cuffs, flicked it lightly into the air, and said, "Fire." ”

The strange bird let out a long roar, and spewed out a small ball of flames, and the strip of cloth burned all at once.

Su Can glanced at the small ball of flame in a daze, then aimed it at Su Can's open mouth, and as soon as he let go, a ball of flame fell.

Suddenly, flames burst out from Su Can's mouth and from his body, and the flames rushed to the sky, burning all over the world, burning like a bright red sunset. Because of the relationship between the white nights, Zhao Yan has not seen the sunset for a long time. He couldn't help but look at Su Can intently, as if there was a whole small universe in his body that was exploding. This universe is being annihilated in a brilliant explosion.

In a short time, the corpse was completely reduced to ashes in the firelight.

Zhao Tong clapped his hands and got up to look at Fengle Building that was sinking in the distance. Feng Le Lou is very tall, and it will take a little time to sink completely, even if he walks slowly now, he will have time, not to mention that there is no need to pass from here...... He sighed and laughed. He looked back and saw tiny, orange-red sparks in the sky, drifting away in the wind.

"I know Hatsuri isn't dead. Zhao Yan stared at this small, faint firelight, his thin lips opened slightly, and said gently, "Although the sect leader doesn't know, I know what happened." No one can fool me. You don't want me to know, though?—— it's useless. Your sacrifice is meaningless. Believe it or not, isn't the momentary safety you bought with your life still a 'design' that has lasted for more than ten years?"

Wang Liefeng's recovery speed was always something that the Huayang Sect Leader found very unbelievable. Time and time again, he was able to regain his strength and fight again at breakneck speed, leading him to suspect that he was a fighting machine that never tires. - Of course, it is also possible that Wang Liefeng did not recover at all, but it was just a bluff in the face of danger, after all, Wang Sunchen was not trusted from a long time ago, and the grudge between his descendants and the royal family was even deeper.

"Wang Liefeng, what do you use to convince me?" the Huayang Sect Leader narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Have you forgotten that the Empress Dowager has the name of Wang Sunchen in the army that was used as a 'sacrifice' of the Huayang Sect back then." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family knows that you won't believe it." However, don't you wonder why at this moment, the sound of the wind and snow outside is much quieter, and the sound of your monsters is also a lot less?"

"Don't scare me, Queen Mother. The Huayang Sect Leader smiled and said, "I've known for a long time that you love to bluff. Isn't the so-called majesty of the palace born from these 'bluffs' that boast of Haikou?" However, he still paid attention to the situation outside, and the noise was indeed much quieter. Judging by the number of people patrolling outside, Chaos shouldn't have ended the battle so early. His smile slowly retracted.

"Whether it's true or not, it's better to 'see is believing'. The Queen Mother smiled and said slowly, "The Huayang Sect has always been good at 'creating illusions', and perhaps it is in this long-term illusion that it has gradually lost its ability to discern the truth. You say that the mourning family is bluffing, so you yourself don't want to believe the truth, wouldn't you be half a pound or two with the mourning family?"

"Less to compare. Huayang Sect Leader sneered, "The royal family has always only boasted about Haikou, and the promise has never been fulfilled. Instead of fearing the 'punishment' of the Huayang Sect, let's think about how we can 'do our best'. ”

However, as he spoke, he really stepped back as he spoke, Zhao Ru's young body was very light, and he walked too fast with a little use, so much so that he hit the door, he turned around and pushed the door open, and when the crack in the door opened slightly, he saw a white outside. He opened it a little more, and the wind whipped up the snow particles, blinding his eyes, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the door slammed open on both sides. He heard the sound of swishing footsteps, neatly stepping on his heart, bang, bang, bang.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a monster beast with a bird's head, a turtle's back, and a snake's tail, and a spear that flew from its body pierced its body, and silver blood burst out of its torso. It catapulted into the air, dissipating into thousands of snowflakes, leaving the ground silvery white.

It was killed by an ordinary soldier with a spear. He's in the middle of the group, there's nothing special about him. The number of soldiers is huge, the formation is neat, the center is vertical, the two wings are spread, and the whole team is dressed in silver-black armor, and the armor is covered with a snow-white robe, which melts with the snow-white earth at a glance. There was a thick layer of snow on their faces, in their eye sockets, under their ears, and on their lips, but they all walked over with their chests held high, and their eyes stared resolutely at the oncoming demon beasts—as long as they were in this "array", they had an indestructible faith.

The Huayang Sect Leader frowned and said to himself, "Is it true?......?"

With the sound of a long horn, the forbidden army began to move forward to attack the demon beasts, the various weapons of the long sword scimitar were in different positions, and the different arms of the infantry and cavalry worked together. The brilliant silver-white color provided them with natural protection, and the huge banner fluttered proudly in the wind and snow. The forbidden army calmly approached, and the sound of the horn shook the entire area, like a silver-white tide sweeping in.
