How noble do you think people can be?

When the villagers of Chen Qi Town shouted hoarsely with torches in their hands, and her sister was bound by heavy ropes to the pillars of the sacrificial platform in the center of the town, unable to move, looking at her desperately in the raging flames, Shen Sangsang already knew the answer.

They are in awe and yet afraid of everything that is different from them.

She and her sister are the only two half-demons in the world, but half-demons can only possess demon abilities after the age of sixteen, and during this period, they are completely unable to cultivate soul arts. So far, my sister is fifteen and Shen Sangsang is ten years old. They had come to Chen Qi Town three years ago, and they had never done anything evil in those three years, and now, they were going to set her on fire, just because she was a half-demon.

She muttered something in her mouth, and her eyes were full of anxiety. Because it was too far away, Shen Sangsang could only vaguely understand what his sister meant.

The wind at night is getting stronger, and the fire in front of me is getting bigger, and the scorching temperature seems to be enough to suffocate a person. The warm glow of the fire struck the cold faces of the villagers, and the coldness on their faces never seemed to melt for a minute. That was the first time Shen Sangsang knew that humans could also become Shura.

The elder sister cried out in pain in the firelight, and they just watched, silently, at the burning flames. There were many mixed feelings in their eyes, disgust, fear, and a little contempt.

Grandpa Liang, who learned about the situation early, saw the villagers running to Shen Sangsang's house with torches, and Grandpa Liang, who had no time to inform his sister in advance, met her on the road who was late for collecting medicine, told her all the situation, and wanted to leave with her. The moment he learned the news, all the baskets of herbs in Shen Sangsang's hands fell to the ground and were stained with dust. Without saying a word, she ran to the altar in the middle of the town, her eyes aching for some reason.

Just when she rushed to the altar and was about to rush into the crowd to save her sister, Grandpa Liang, who was hurrying behind her, grabbed her hand and pulled her back, grabbed her wrist tightly, and covered Shen Sangsang's mouth.

She stood helplessly in the shadows not far from the altar, watching the villagers light a fire. She watched as a pair of black wings stretched out behind her, and in just an instant, they were reduced to ashes in the firelight, like the wood that is usually used to make fires, without the slightest strength to resist.

It was the first time in her life that she saw her sister, who had been proud of her life, shed tears.

"Let's go! Never come back, never ......" She knew that only she could hear her sister's voice at this time, and others could only hear her screams of pain.

"Nope! No! She seemed to have a lot of strength in her whole body, and she shook off Grandpa Liang's hand with all her might. Shen Sangsang's back seemed to be gnawed by ten thousand ants, as if something was about to break through the flesh and bones behind her and grow.

The moment she was released, she rushed forward desperately, and suddenly her back was hot, and then she flew into the air, flying towards the firelight.

"Sangsang!" Grandpa Liang kept shouting her name behind him.

Rushing into the fire under the screams of everyone, he hugged her sister tightly, tore the rope behind her with all his might, and flew towards the forest on the outskirts with her dying.

That was the first time she gave birth to wings, that was the first time she held her.

She is different from usual, weak and terrible, at this time she is like an ant, as long as someone gently pinched can die. I don't know how long I flew, until I was exhausted, I found a grass hut that I thought was safe, and put her weak breath on the ground.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the dense leaves, like falling jade fragments. The wind in the forest was very strong and cold at night, she took off her coat and covered her thin body, she grabbed Shen Sangsang's hand, frowned, her breath was weak, but she still wanted to scold her: "Shen Sangsang!" I'll let you go! ”

Holding her hand, she looked at her crying, her voice a little choked: "Sister, no, I can't leave you!" ”

She seemed to be a little moved, stretched out her other hand and gently wiped away her tears, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Sangsang, you go quickly, they will definitely chase after you, you ...... You can't run far with me......"

It's just that she, Shen Sangsang, has never been a person who admits defeat easily, and pretended not to hear it to pick her up again, only to find that her newborn wings had completely lost their strength.

The sister in her arms pushed her away and fell to the ground herself: "Let's go! The sound of cicadas around them gradually weakened, and they saw the fire not far behind them approaching, and they anxiously tried to help her up, but she repeatedly pushed her away. The older sister, who was physically exhausted, eventually fainted on the ground.

The footsteps and the noisy voices of the villagers got closer and closer, and his heartbeat was extremely fast, and Shen Sangsang obviously felt an oppressive aura that was different from ordinary humans, and that breath was the taste of a high-level soul catcher. In this world, most humans with natural qualifications will choose to practice soul arts, and according to the type of soul art chosen, the talent attributes and talent levels will go to different identities and practice moves with different attributes. From birth, everyone will have their own five element attributes, but it doesn't matter whether you can practice them or not. On the Bingzhou continent where Chen Qizhen is located, there are mainly casters (casting spiritual weapons), alchemists (practicing elixirs), soul catchers (subduing the world's spirits), fighting souls (building qi and fighting souls), and apocalypse masters (all things are free, the senses are supernormal, and soul magic has reached its peak). The soul masters above the Apocalypse Master began to practice high-level soul power when the Apocalypse was at full level, and it was divided into different levels. Among them, the talent requirements of the soul fighting master are extremely high, usually beginners can only practice one of the qi alchemy and spirit catching first, and wait until one of them reaches the advanced level before they can practice the soul fighting master, but there are also many who choose to give up the cultivation of the soul master and directly study the alchemy refining tool and spirit catcher. There is also an innate soul fighter, who has been given the qualification of a soul fighter since birth, which is considered a relatively rare talent, so the number of people who cultivate to become a high-level soul master is small in this continent, and as the level increases, the difficulty of the soul fighter's cultivation gradually increases several times. Since the Merge State is a continent with a low strength level on several continents, the Apocalypse Division is even rarer in the Merge Continent, and there are only a handful. Suppressed by the mysterious ghosts in the Bingzhou Continent, it is already the limit for a soul master to be able to cultivate to the full level of the Apocalypse Master, and breaking through the limit has become the lifelong pursuit of many powerful soul masters. This is also a pimple in the hearts of the soul masters in the Bingzhou Continent.

Shen Sangsang looked around vigilantly, picked up his sister on the ground and walked deeper into the forest. Shen Sangsang is only ten years old now, his body is thin, and he helped his sister for a short distance before he fell to the ground and broke his hand.

She hurriedly ripped off a piece of cloth from her body and wrapped it around the wound to prevent the smell of blood from attracting beasts, spirit beasts, and more spirit catchers.

"Today's luck is good, I actually met a half-demon, interesting." A joking voice came from the tree beside Shen Sangsang, and there was a complete surprise in his tone.

Shen Sangsang's heart was cold, and he frowned and looked up at the black shadow on the tree: "Spirit Catcher." ”

The black shadow on the tree smiled lightly, jumped down, and landed in front of Shen Sangsang, looking at her dying sister beside her with a mocking expression: "Is this being hunted down?" ”

She looked at the visitor and saw that she was no more than a fourteen-year-old boy, dressed in a light blue dress made of fine satin, with three empty bells hanging from her waist, and the silver threads on the bells were already showing signs of reddening, and it was obvious that he had reached the fifth level of the advanced spirit catcher, and he was only five years away from the full level.

The footsteps of the villagers kept approaching, and Liang Yiyu hooked the corners of his lips: "Everyone is coming soon, do you need me to help you?" But I can only save you one of you. He glanced at his sister on the ground, "I can't take her away." ”

"If I save you, I wish you could be my servant, and it would be fun to have a half-demon as a servant, right?" Liang Yiwei added.

"No, I don't." She looked at her sister on the side and firmly rejected him. Not to mention what the conditions for him to rescue him were, she would never leave her sister alone, just like she rescued herself from the war back then.

Liang Yiyu looked at her and shrugged helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go." With that, he left the land of right and wrong with a slight leap.

Shen Sangsang hugged her tightly, and behind him found that there was a low-level soul fighting master hiding among their villagers. This should be the reason why my sister can't escape, her wings can now escape ordinary humans, but she is an ordinary person without the slightest soul magic when she removes her wings, and she can't escape at all.

And he went to great lengths to hide, in order to take away her eyes after her death, because the eyes of the half-demon could allow him to directly become a full-level soul master, or even become a master of the day after tomorrow. In the end, it's just human desire.

At this time, some of the sisters who woke up saw the sword raised by the soul fighting master behind Shen Sangsang, and their eyes widened. She immediately took out her eye spirit and handed it to Shen Sangsang: "Sangsang...... Take it and leave when you find your chance! Can't let him get the Eyeling! ”

Shen Sangsang felt the last trace of aura emanating from her sister's body, she pushed Shen Sangsang away dozens of meters away, and used her last life to transform into a barrier to protect Shen Sangsang from being harmed.

"Let's go!" The clash of the two forces caused the surrounding trees to shake. Suddenly, there was a bang, and the barrier mirror shattered, and my sister had fallen to the ground.

"Sister!" Seeing that another sword was about to slash at her, Shen Sangsang rushed over and blocked in front of his sister.

She could clearly feel the soul qi of the soul fighter who couldn't wait for her to raise her sword and slash at the two of them, she closed her eyes, and the black wings behind her resolutely opened, struggling to protect her and her sister, but after all, this was the wings of a newborn, and it was completely impossible to face a soul fighter. only heard a click, and the black wings behind her were instantly cut off, and the moment it broke, a huge aura was emitted to force the people around her back a few meters, and Shen Sangsang fainted due to this sharp pain.

Liang Yiyu, who hadn't gone far, heard this sound, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly turned around, quickly leaped in front of Shen Sangsang who had fainted, and picked up Shen Sangsang and escaped before everyone could react.
