"Their necks are their Achilles' heel." Once the weaknesses of the dead have been found, then they have no chance of winning.
This is where the matter should have ended, but the biggest crisis is yet to come.
"After the results of those dead soldiers, Brother Simon and I continued on the road, but the more we walked, the more we felt that something was wrong." Miss Wang suddenly clenched the teacup in her hand, "That bamboo forest has been completely set up by people, and it is under the illusion of the other party. β
Illusion, the art of the psychedelic mind. When used in conjunction with the formation, the unexpected effect will be achieved. There are many people outside the square who can reach the realm of illusion with the mind. In this formation, everything you see is a phenomenon that is conjured up by the fear in your heart.
No one knows if they will become real one day, but it is because it is something that you fear deeply in your heart that you can't escape or avoid it. Once you fall into that abyss of fear, you can't get out of it.
There are many people who, in this realm of illusion, have become insane. There are also people who are scared to death by their ultimate fate. All in all, if you can't get past that level in your heart, you can't get out of that formation.
"After Brother Simon and I entered the formation, Brother Simon kept holding my hand tightly and blocking in front of me. Although he felt cold, at that time, I was extra relieved and warm. Although Wang Ling has never been a weak woman, she can protect herself. The more dangerous the environment, the more it can arouse the wits of this little girl. Therefore, Miss Wang stood behind Ximen Ruohan, although she looked like a little woman. But his eyes were wide open.
Such a scene, even if Wang Ling doesn't say it, Wen Shu can imagine it. The Miss Wang she knew. That's the kind of person you are.
"The formation in the bamboo forest is even more terrifying than we imagined. In that formation, Brother Simon saw his own endββ"
"What kind of ending?"
"It was a duel at the pinnacle, the owner of the Drifting Snow Mountain Villa and the city lord of Tianfrost City, a sword god and a sword immortal, standing at the top of the Forbidden City. With what he has learned all his life, he will unleash the peerless sword. β
Wang Ling was looking at the man next to her from beginning to end, with radiant eyes. Full of love for the person in front of you. Although at that moment, the heart of the little animal has realized that there are some things that cannot be changed in a lifetime. And the fate of her and Brother Simon may be reversed.
"Brother Simon's hands are tense. It's like a rock. His hand hurt from his clutching, but I didn't dare speak. His whole mind was on the decisive battle between himself and the City Lord of Heavenly Frost City. The mind is highly concentrated, and in areas that we cannot see, a decisive battle is going on. If I force myself to wake him up, he may be seriously injured. β
Although Wen Shu didn't know martial arts, he understood what Miss Wang meant. The owner of Ximen in the illusion is dueling with Ye Chengcheng, and the owner of Ximen in reality automatically substitutes himself into it. Even he had to admit that that Ximen Ruohan was as fast as his swordsmanship. Or rather. That person is really himself.
But he didn't expect that the swordsmanship of Ye Qingcheng, the city lord of Heavenly Frost City, would be so magical and mysterious. Even, already above him!
"I don't know what the intentions of the people in the formation are, I only know that if they wanted to disturb Brother Simon's mind, then they did it. Brother Simon has pursued kendo all his life, and he is also pursuing an opponent who can be matched. After seeing Ye Tingcheng last time, he introduced him as a confidant and regarded him as an opponent. In this decisive battle, you can imagine how serious Brother Ximen will be. Even if it was just fiction, in the eyes of Brother Simon at that time, it was real. β
"Those people should have done it on purpose, the martial arts of the owner of Ximen Zhuang are infinitely close to himself. Ye City Lord's martial arts are suspected of being exaggerated. The purpose of this is to disturb the mind of the owner of Simon. Even if you walk out of the illusion array they have laid out, with the person of the owner of Ximen Zhuang, after seeing Ye Tingcheng's superb swordsmanship, you will definitely make a break with him. β
is a vicious strategy, the person behind it, this trick is used to kill people with a knife, and it is really ingenious. Let the two peerless masters kill each other, and they will sit behind the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Whoever wins, it is good for them. What's more, the swordsmanship of these two people was originally between them, one side died in battle, and the other side must not be much better, at that time, they had an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Xiaoshu is so smart, he understands the key so quickly."
"Listen to you, aren't you also a smart man?" This Xiao Jiu, on the surface, is praising her, but in fact she is praising herself.
"Of course, you can't hide this from me, and you can't hide it from Brother Ximen, but Brother Ximen is so stupid, even if he knows that it is someone else's trap, he has to jump down." She didn't believe that someone as smart as Brother Simon would not know about the conspiracy of those people. It's just that in Brother Ximen's mind, no one is more important than his kendo and opponents, and he doesn't pay attention to other people at all, let alone take them to heart.
"They didn't need to do anything else, the owner of Ximen Zhuang originally intended to compete with the Ye City Lord."
Although Brother Simon had this intention, he did not make a final decision. Their move had already forced Brother Ximen to send a war book to Ye Tingcheng as soon as he came out of the bamboo forest! β
They planned this qiΔ and arranged this assassination, not really to kill them. The people behind the scenes also knew that with the skills of these people, it was impossible to move Ximen Ruohan. They spent so much thought, just forcing Ximen Ruohan to make a choice.
"That Xiao Jiu, you are the ......" If it is just a decisive battle, Xiao Jiuda does not have to be like this. Not to mention anything, the owner of Simon Zhuang didn't want her words.
ββ¦β¦ Brother Simon, he was injured in the arm to save me. β
"What?" Wen Shu was stunned, "Didn't you say that you guys are fine?" β
"Those people have set up an illusion array to deal with Brother Ximen, and I have seen Brother Ximen die under Ye Qingcheng's sword with my own eyes. I...... I ......" Miss Wang lowered her head, and the teacup was about to be crushed by her.
Wen Shu patted her hands, that incident must have hit Xiao Jiu very hard. Not only was the owner of Ximen Zhuang trapped inside, but even Miss Wang was difficult to get out.
"Those people took advantage of my unstable mind to sneak attack me and Brother Simon, and Brother Simon was injured in the arm in order to save me. Although the injury is not serious, but in a master duel, the slightest difference can cost my life, and I can't risk it. What's more, Brother Simon is like this, or is it because I-"
Miss Wang bit her lip, why is this happening? She never wanted to drag Brother Simon back, but at this critical moment, she hurt Brother Simon.
Because of this, couldn't Miss Wang watch Ximen Ruohan duel with Ye Chengcheng?
"You stopped the decisive battle of the owner of Simon?"
"I had to stop." If Ximen Ruohan hadn't experienced the events of that day, Miss Wang could still comfort herself and let Brother Ximen fight a fair battle with Ye City Lord. Even if he will lose Brother Simon forever, he will be sad for the rest of his life.
"The impact of that day's events on Brother Simon was not just a physical scar. Ye Qingcheng's swordsmanship also put a lot of pressure on him. Although Brother Simon didn't say it, a qiΔ from the illusion was truly reflected in his heart. No one can remain indifferent to see themselves dead. β
Wen Shu understood that he was afraid that the illusion he saw in the illusion had a greater impact on him than the wound on Ximen Ruohan's arm. Whether it is the body or the mind, it is no longer the Ximen Ruohan of the past. Although Simon Ruohan's amazing ability can be healed quickly, there are some things that will accumulate deeper and deeper as time passes, becoming deeper and deeper demonic obstacles that are difficult to erase!
"I won't let Brother Simon go, Brother Simon is very angry, and we quarreled."
"To be exact, it should be you arguing alone, with the temperament of the owner of Ximen Zhuang, I really can't imagine what it will be like for him to quarrel with others."
"That's what I said, from beginning to end, I was there alone and jumping in a hurry, and Brother Simon just looked at me and didn't say a word."
What Miss Wang didn't know was that Ximen Ruohan's heart was also struggling. Watching the little girl sweep away her sleepy eyes and grab his sleeve and tell him not to go, Ximen Ruohan's heart was full of reluctance. But in the end, it was his heart's desire that prevailed.
He couldn't bear this battle anymore, and he wanted to do his best to finish it.
"He's just an ice cube, it doesn't make sense, I'll ignore him!"
"Xiao Jiu, what you said is true?"
"Of course it's true, if Brother Ximen wants to duel, he will go to the duel, it's better to hold his cold sword for the rest of his life, I don't care."
"It turns out that it's not the owner of Ximen who doesn't want Xiao Jiu, it's Xiao Jiu who doesn't want the owner of Ximen Village. I really don't think it's worth it for the owner of Simon Zhuang, at this juncture, it is the moment when his mood needs to be calmed down the most. Not only did his beloved woman not help him, but also shook his head and left, making him feel more chaotic and numb, like this, he would already lose without a duel, right? β
"It's not that I don't want Brother Simon, it's Brother Simon who said, he said, ......"
"What did he say?"
"I'm not an unreasonable person, the other party is Brother Simon, how could I leave him lightly?" Miss Wang lowered her head, the last thing she didn't want to recall was the last thing Ximen Ruohan said to her!
Wen Shu didn't squeak, and sure enough, behind this matter was far from being so simple. Miss Wang is a very simple person, and the owner of Ximen must have said something that made this little girl unable to let go.
"Brother Simon said, if I can't understand him, I still don't want to be with him. Isn't this sentence driving me away in disguise? If I'm still there, I'm too uninteresting. β
However, when she heard Wen Shu say that Ximen Ruohan would be even more disturbed, Wang Ling couldn't really ignore him, she still had to go back and return to his side- (To be continued......
