Chapter Twenty-Three: The Destiny of Horcruxes

I think I'm starting to understand what they mean by "destiny."

In our initial understanding, the "Mandate of Heaven", as a part of the five dimensions of the imperial spirit, is defined by the longevity of the country and the vastness of the country, but after the introduction of the moon, the momentum exuded by different imperial spirits is also different. Although this is only a characteristic that can only be detected by the power of the Horcrux unique to Retsuki, it also shows from the side that it does affect the ability threshold of some aspects of the Emperor Spirit.

Now, the Zhu Wen in front of me has said such things again, which makes me have to have a new conjecture.

"The so-called 'Mandate of Heaven' probably has the bonus of the ability to restrain each other from dynastic succession."

"Boss Cao! This monster in front of you is very likely."

Boss Cao's external incarnation gradually dissipated, and the Heavenly Sword in his hand gradually revealed a crimson light.

"You smell disgusting. You guy, it seems that you are a scum surnamed Sima. ”

Speaking of the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty, it is the sworn enemy of our Cao family.

It is also a family that I hated the most when I listened to my second father talk about history since I was a child.

Wait, according to this theory of restraint of the Mandate of Heaven, the end of the Three Kingdoms was the end of Wei and Shu, but Boss Cao did not show his crushing of squinting eyes in the previous battle

Or is it that in the eyes of the jade seal of the country, the Shu Kingdom is considered to be exterminated by the Sima family?

The Monster Emperor Spirit still smiled weirdly, "It's my destiny to kill you!" ”

"How dare you appear in front of us! Li Chun! You dare to collude with our Li family for generations of mortal enemies! Li Yuan was furious, since he came to this world, what he was most distressed about was that in addition to the incompetence of his descendants and being treated as a puppet, I am afraid that Guozuo was stolen by this murderous and unblinking demon king Zhu Wen. Now that the mortal enemy is in front of him, he chooses to give up Tang Xianzong Li Chun and rush to Zhu Wen.

"Seven Star Dragon Spring, gather!" The huge blade of light slashed straight over, Zhu Wen was unmoved, raised his knife and held it, only feeling that the air was shaken.

"Your Li family's flesh and blood are the best dishes of my Zhu Wen!"

"White Horse's Turbidity!" On Zhu Wen's big sword, a muddy current rolled up, and it began to wrap around the Seven-Star Longquan Sword, and the Seven-Star Longquan Sword quickly dimmed. Li Yuan withdrew and split again, the turbidity current had overflowed from Zhu Wen's big knife, shooting directly at Li Bokai, Li Bokai was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew and retreated, while Li Yuan's seven-star Longquan sword spread out again, and several lightsabers surrounded the wall shield, but it was quickly broken by the turbidity current.

At the last moment, a figure jumped out, lifted Li Bokai, flew out a long distance, and escaped the pursuit of the turbid current, while on the other hand, Li Yuan was kicked away by Zhu Wen.

"Father?" The man put down Li Bokai and showed concern on his face, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Yuan quickly stood up, his beard was stained with some blood, and his face looked a little pale, "Jianchengwu'er!" Protect the Horcruxes! His vision turned to the Great Demon King, "Juwen! ”

Li Yuan rushed towards Zhu Wen again. If I heard it correctly, this man should be Li Jiancheng, the "hidden prince" summoned by Li Yuan using "popularity".

The battle has become unpredictable. Liu Yu and Liu Yilong were restrained by Li Longji, and it seemed that it was difficult for them to get out; Boss Cao seemed to be determined to kill this emperor spirit who might belong to the Sima family, and attacked desperately, but it was probably the reason for the restraint of the Mandate of Heaven, even Boss Cao and Squint Eyes were difficult to defeat him quickly.

I turned my gaze to Li Zhongping, he threw Li Shuwen to Emperor Ling Li Chun, and he himself held up Ji Meng, and the two of them stepped back step by step, intending to escape from this brawl.

There is no one who can help me at the moment

Absolutely put it aside and gritted my teeth, I still chased after it.

"Stop!"

My voice echoed in the hallway, and there were only a few of us left except for a few unconscious security guards on the ground. Li Zhongping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just me coming, "I released you at your house a few days ago, and now you still want to come here to send you to death?" ”

"If Li Zhongping leaves like this now, there will be no turning back!"

"What does it mean that there is no turning back? No matter how strong Li Yuan is, in the face of Zhu Wen, who is restrained by the Mandate of Heaven, they have no chance of winning, as long as they kill all these guys who know about it, and then play a little trick to cover it up, won't 'Li Tang Tianxia' still be in my hands? ”

"You are afraid that your brother will use the strength of the Emperor Spirit to suppress you, is it the object of your cooperation, Zhu Wen? Aren't you afraid that they will suppress you? ”

I can feel it, Li Zhongping's whole body is trembling, is that the smell of fear Is he afraid of Zhu Wen?

"If I am the only one left as the heir of Li Tang Tianxia, they will need me no matter what."

What a disgraceful answer. "You originally planned to treat your own sister, Miss Ji Meng, as a marionette, but in the end, in order to win your own interests, you did not hesitate to degenerate into someone else's marionette?"

"You maggots, you won't understand the point of this war! When the 'Emperor Spirit' appeared, what power, reputation, wealth, in the final analysis, are all just a tool to live to the end, we originally sat on a rich company, why do we need to fight for an emperor through the ages, with our lives as a guarantee! ”

"You say the tool to survive to the end?"

Li Zhongping's eyes widened and he looked at me with an incredulous gaze, "It seems that you haven't really killed an emperor spirit yet!" ”

Li Zhongping suddenly burst out laughing, he laughed very wildly, whether it was me, Ji Meng, or Li Shuwen, they were all shocked by his crazy smile.

"Or are you like my stupid sister, believing in the battle of honor between emperors and spirits?"

"Good! Then I'll tell you, lowly fellow, the truth about the Emperor Spirit! Li Zhongping put Ji Meng aside and tore open the cuff of his left hand, only to see that Li Zhongping's arm was engraved with two small coats of arms in different shapes.

"My 'Tang Xianzong' Li Chun has already captured two 'Emperor Souls', and when we kill the Emperor Spirit, what do you say will happen to the Horcruxes in the end?"

A terrible thought suddenly popped into my mind, and Ji Meng was even more discolored.

"That's right, I'll die! It's going to all be dead! Whether it's a Horcrux killer or an Emperor Spirit, both will die! The reason why Horcruxes are called Horcruxes is precisely because the Emperor Spirit invaded the soul of the Horcrux! No matter whether you are rich or not, whether you are a street beggar or not, once you become the Horcrux of the Emperor Spirit, until the last Emperor Spirit and the Horcrux are decided, until all the dead Horcruxes are turned into heraldic seals on a person, so that all the sin of killing must be borne by the last person who survives, this battle of the Emperor Spirit is absolutely impossible to stop! ”

I don't know how to describe my current mood, and my mind suddenly became chaotic.

This also means that whether it is Lianyue, Lianxing, or Ji Meng, they will all be killed by me in the end, or will they kill me?

"So as long as I can finally live, that's fine!" Li Chun's "Yuanhe Sword" stirred up the sword and stabbed at me. The afterimage passed by, and Boss Cao appeared in front of me and blocked the blow for me.

"Boss Cao"

"Stinky boy! If you don't plan to live now, you can't do anything! ”

The two swords competed, and the sword qi was surging.

If Boss Cao defeats Li Chun, I will also indirectly kill Li Zhongping? For Li Shimin, who has already hunted a lot of emperor spirits, Ji Meng is not

I looked at Ji Meng in a daze, tears in her eyes couldn't help but gush out, presumably she only found out about this today.

Who is going to start such a brutal war!

A cold sensation slowly spread from my palm, a little cold, but also soft and familiar.

It's the moon.

She clasped my hand tightly, thinking that she should also know the news for the first time, but her expression at the moment was calmer and more composed than that of a big man like me.

"Cao Zixiu."

"Huh?"

"Don't forget the original intention, you have to always. No matter what we originally thought, no matter what the end result is, we will definitely not let each other regret it. Retsuki had a gentle smile on her face, and it was the first time she had shown such a gentle smile to me.

It feels like it is

The warmth of lovers.

"Hmm."

I slowly let go of Lianyue's hand and walked towards Li Zhongping, and also walked towards Ji Meng.

Tang Xianzong, Li Chun, and Boss Cao's battle gradually gained the upper hand. He had already been hit hard by Li Yuan before, and it was rare to hold on here.

Li Zhongping saw me slowly walking towards him, but his body kept retreating.

"You wait, maggots, even if you kill me today, I will eventually be killed by someone else! What's more, the cruelty and ruthlessness of the forces behind the Eight Kings is far from what you can imagine! ”

Did he say that the force behind the Eight Kings was the Sima family?

Li Zhongping put aside Li Shuwen, he knew that what I cared about was Ji Meng, and he wanted to hold Ji Meng hostage.

But I'll never give him that chance again.

I punched him in the face, pushing him into a corner.

"I sue you! Li Zhongping! I'll find out! "Punch after punch smashed into Li Shuwen's face, he was beaten by me and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, I threw Li Zhongping to the ground, sat on his body, and continued to beat.

Hmph, this kind of aristocratic young master, just pampered, can't withstand a few punches, I have been beaten by my little mercy all the year round, and I have long been rough and thick-skinned, reinforced and iron-bone.

"Zixiu, please" Ji Meng called out to me softly, tears falling uncontrollably.

I stood up from Li Zhongping, "I won't take your 'Emperor Soul'. I'll figure it out - a way to keep the Horcrux alive, it must be there! ”

Li Chun was defeated by Boss Cao and planted next to Li Zhongping. It seems that Boss Cao also supported my decision, and did not kill Tang Xianzong and Li Chun.

"Hmph, stupid guy"

"If you don't capture the 'Emperor Soul', your Emperor Spirit will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being killed because of weakness in the end!"

"Boss Cao and I will both get stronger, and we will definitely not die lightly! I helped Ji Meng up, looking at her appearance, the toxin should have weakened a lot, she held my shoulder with one hand, and she could barely walk.

In the same way, Li Shuwen himself stood up with a fart, of course, no one of us planned to help him, so he had to hold on to the wall alone and follow behind our ass.

"Hmph, it's all a bunch of stupid guys." Li Zhongping and Tang Xianzong Li Chun were lying alone on the ground.

Li Zhongping's thoughts are also very confused now, and in the chaotic thoughts, he slightly remembered his childhood.

"Second brother, second brother!"

"Ah, it's a dream, the second brother is busy doing his homework, I'll play with you later."

In the memory, the little Ji Meng pursed his mouth, looking very coquettish. "But Mengmeng also wants to ask the second brother about his homework, among the three brothers, you are the smartest."

"Oh? Did Mengmeng start writing her homework too? Let's let the second brother see, what is written, huh? Is this a set of comic books? ”

"Hmm!" Ji Meng smiled brightly, "It's a story full of courage, justice and love, and a sense of honor." ”

Li Zhongping touched his sister's head, "You little ghost, what sense of honor do you know." ”

"Oh, second brother, listen to me, it's me here wearing a princess dress and a crown, this big monster is a dragon."

"Sounds like a story of a brave man saving a little princess?"

Ji Meng pretended to shake his head mysteriously and turned the next page.

"And then here is the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother, you are the prince of the country, and you have embarked on an adventurous journey to save me and save the country."

"Why did you draw me so short, so in the end, I defeated the ferocious dragon, saved our Princess Mengmeng, and saved the kingdom by the way?"

"Oh, second brother, what is by the way, and how can the ending be so simple." Saying that, Ji Meng kept turning back, "In this case, there will be no love and sense of honor." ”

"The ending is like this, none of you defeated this dragon, and in the end I sacrificed myself to defeat this dragon."

Li Zhongping's face was full of black lines, "Brothers, it's so useless, I can't imagine that you will draw a story with a twist." ”

"There's still a twist!" Ji Meng blinked her big eyes, revealing a smug look, "You found out that Mengmeng was sacrificed, you are very sad, you keep calling Mengmeng's name next to Mengmeng, and finally Mengmeng is resurrected!" You see, the courage to defeat the evil dragon, the justice to save the country, the love between brother and sister, and the honor of brother and sister working together, what a perfect story! ”

"Well, overall, it's pretty good." Li Zhongping closed the comic strip, "So what homework do you want to ask the second brother for?" ”

"Hee-hee" Ji Meng stuck out his tongue, took out the crayon in his hand, and had an incomparably sweet innocent smile on his face, "Second brother come to help Mengmeng and write the story told by Mengmeng into a novel!" ”

Well, it sounds like someone else's story.

In any case, my Li Zhongping's story is also coming to an end. Win or lose, there is nothing to say.

"It's a pity, it seems that Your Excellency's chances of seizing the 'Li Tang World' are already very slim." A slender figure appeared in front of Li Zhongping.

"It's you"

"That man is almost back! Even if there is Zhu Wen, it must be difficult to face him. ”

"So, I'm afraid you didn't come here to save me. Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the side, you don't seem to have any intention of eradicating it immediately. ”

"Tut-tut, those two guys, it's not as simple as you think."

"A hearty meal, of course, is saved for last. As for you, I don't mind, keep you to fight against the Sui forces. ”

Li Zhongping heard the sound of flesh tearing.

"Of course I don't use you alive to fight!"

Tang Xianzong Li Chun's figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a ball of light.

Dream dreams

Must live.
