Chapter Twenty-Nine: Disappearance
Depressed, helpless, frightened.
This is Xiang Yu's state at this moment.
Xiang Yu stumbled and ran, trying to escape from the slaughterhouse just now.
After the circle in the air had absorbed the souls of all the dead, the circle disappeared and the sword of salvation stopped turning.
I thought it was going to stop, but an unexpected scene happened.
The Sword of Salvation burst out with a dazzling red light like a nuclear explosion, and after a shocking sound, the shock wave of the explosion centered on the location of the Sword of Salvation, spreading out in a circular ripple.
Xiang Yu's group was shattered in an instant, not injured or knocked out, but shattered into blood foam.
The troops of thousands of people were wiped out in an instant, turning into a place of blood foam. It's like the foam on top of a freshly poured beer, useless and disgusting.
The shock wave of the explosion spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, passing through the Wujiang River on one side and through woods and plains in other directions. Everywhere I went, hundred-year-old trees were uprooted, and weeds on the ground turned to ashes. As for the Wujiang River, the river water was directly lifted off by the shock wave, forming an earth-shattering wave that rushed towards Xiang Yu's location.
Xiang Yu ran quickly, although he had not yet recovered from the impact of the death of all his companions, but out of instinctive desire to survive, Xiang Yu knew that he could not be swept away by the river.
The limit of human running speed is 9.58 seconds for a hundred meters, which, of course, is the speed limit of a sprinter. The speed of the river surging caused by the explosion was almost hundreds of meters per second, and in less than ten seconds, the huge waves had already surpassed Xiang Yu and rushed towards the villages and tribes in the distance.
Xiang Yu was not carried away by the current, but was wrapped in a spherical energy barrier, and the system appeared next to Xiang Yu, saving Xiang Yu's life in time.
"What the hell is going on with all this?" Xiang Yu asked softly.
The system on the side replied like no one, "Ding, as I said before, things will get more and more interesting." ”
"You're a pervert, aren't you?" Xiang Yu roared.
"Ding, I can understand your current mood, so I decided not to bother with you. "The system manipulated the spherical energy barrier and rushed into the distance.
"That's all human life, you know? It's just gone!" Xiang Yu's face turned red, and he was furious.
"Ding, don't forget, you just killed 100,000 people, and your subordinates are people, so aren't those who died people?"
"Fighting a war is meant to kill people, and besides, they are enemies, and if I don't kill them, they will kill us. Xiang Yu wiped a handful of blood foam on his face, not knowing whether it was Zhang San's blood or Li Si's blood. However, Xiang Yu's heart didn't care about these at all.
"Ding, isn't this enough?Since you all know that you are going to die in battle, what are you still struggling with?" The system is always able to behave very calmly, and maybe this is the advantage of being an outsider: it is none of your business, and you are hanging high.
"But ......"
"Ding, but what?" the system asked rhetorically.
"Even though I know that this is the space that you have copied out based on history for me to complete my mission, it is still difficult for me to accept the death of the people around me, really, a good person, just gone. A second ago, a companion who was discussing a fight and went to drink together, suddenly turned into a pool of blood, and then the water washed away, and you have no idea what it feels like. Xiang Yu's eyes were red, and the green tendons on his neck were bursting up.
"Ding, I know everything, but I need you to be stronger, because, this world needs heroes, do you understand?" The system suddenly became a serious and thoughtful look, which made Xiang Yu a little uncomfortable.
The system continued, "Ding, you were chosen for a reason, you know? You have to be strong. ”
Xiang Yu nodded slightly, and the surrounding vision became wider, no longer the scene wrapped in water before. The energy ball wrapped around the system and Xiang Yu slowly landed, and the energy barrier disappeared.
"Ding, I can only help you get here, you need to do everything after this mission. ”
The system disappeared, and after Xiang Yu looked around, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Unable to care about other things, Xiang Yu came to a thick tree on the side and sat on the ground against the tree.
As I said before, the last time Kebo, who was possessed by Xiang Yu, had this feeling of despair was when he was looking for a job after graduation. At this moment, the same feeling returned, and a sense of helplessness enveloped Kobo.
Kobo began to reflect on what the system had just said, that the world needs heroes. However, is he talking about the world in which Xiang Yu lives? or the real world in which he lives. The system didn't say it explicitly, and Ke Bo didn't ask it explicitly, but this was not the focus of Xiang Yu's concern.
Can he really be a hero? Kobo was full of doubts, from the time he was born to the time he was forced to carry out his mission. It seems that Kobo never met the criteria for a "hero". Even when he saved Bai Junwen, it was just that Ke Bo was in the way of face, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and finally he accidentally became Bai Junwen's life-saving benefactor.
However, since the system has chosen Kobo, there is naturally a certain reason, plus when he was in the Void before, the NPC also called Kobo the Chosen One. Although after experiencing the annihilation of his teammates just now, Kebo is now too arrogant, but he actually has some expectations for himself in his heart.
Kobo comforted himself in this way: he has come here, and he can't let this mission fail. The last mission failed because the female star committed suicide in reality, resulting in the mission failure. And this time, Xiang Yu is a person who has killed himself many years ago, and there is no way to die a second time, so he will not be terminated by external reasons.
"Damn, fight!" Ke Bo, who was attached to Xiang Yu's body, finally made up his mind, no longer restrained, and didn't want to be afraid anymore, since he wanted to complete the task, he would do a big job.
When Xiang Yu was about to get up, there was a sudden sound of tearing the air, and the Sword of Salvation was just inserted in Xiang Yu's crotch.
"I ...... I C. Xiang Yu scolded, if the position where the long sword landed just now was one centimeter, Xiang Yu would naturally not be able to protect his life.
Xiang Yu stepped back and looked at the sword of salvation stuck in the ground. Compared to before, the blade is significantly wider, and the proportion of milky white and red has changed significantly: the proportion of milky white has become significantly less, and the red part seems to be desperately squeezing the white part.
Looking at this sword of salvation, Xiang Yu was really angry, pulled out the sword of salvation on the ground, and slapped the trunk of the tree with the sword body vigorously, while fighting, he scolded in his mouth: "Sword of salvation, save your mushroom head! Sword of salvation! Save your ......"
The trunk of the tree shook violently, and after four or five hits, with an elongated "squeak" sound, the big tree fell to the ground with a bang, and Xiang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I X...... Where did I get so much strength?" Although Xiang Yu said that his strength was infinite, he would not use the blade of a sword to slap the trunk of a tree and knock the book down, as if he was helped.
"That's right, let you save the world, let you save ......" Xiang Yu looked at the sword of salvation in his hand, his anger rushed to his heart again, and then slapped the trunk of the fallen tree with the blade of the sword, venting the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.
"Don't fight, your head is about to be stunned!" The Sword of Salvation flew away from Xiang Yu's hand and floated in the air on the side.
"What's that? Who's talking?" Xiang Yu took a few steps back, making a defensive gesture.
"I said it, and my head was about to shake. The Sword of Salvation made a sound, although there was nothing to make a sound, but the sound came out like this, which surprised Xiang Yu.
"You...... Are you a sword demon?" Xiang Yu looked at the Sword of Salvation and found that the milky white part of the sword was flashing.
"I'm a sword spirit. A fleshy cloud-like thing emerged from the milky white part of the sword's body and floated beside it.
"What is it?" Xiang Yu was shocked, the system named that there was a sword demon, but now a sword spirit suddenly appeared, which was really confusing.
Xiang Yu stepped forward and poked the little thing that claimed to be a sword spirit with his hand, and the sword spirit immediately dodged to the side and complained: "Can you put the rules down?" I'm a dignified sword spirit, don't move your hands and feet." ”
"Okay, okay, you're a sword spirit, what about the sword demon?" Xiang Yu asked.
Since the previous formation was red, the explosion was also a red light, and at the same time, the red part of the sword body had also become much larger, and now, floating in the air was a milky white object. Therefore, if you think about it with your toes, you can know that the milky white is the sword spirit, and the rest is the sword demon.
"Do you know him?" the sword spirit leaned in front of Xiang Yu and looked at Xiang Yu, "The sword demon is the demon of the first life, fortunately he was suppressed by me, and he was exchanged for peace in the world." ”
"Really, according to what you said, you killed the 100,000 souls and my brothers before, right?" Xiang Yu asked, and when he asked, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and deliberately showed a fierce face.
"What? What 100,000 souls? What brother?" Sword Spirit's eyes widened, and when he saw the dagger that Xiang Yu had pulled out from his waist, he hurriedly took a few steps back.
Xiang Yu slowly approached the sword spirit, "I am going to avenge my brothers now, Stone, Roshan, Iron Pillar, and my more than a thousand brothers." ”
The hand raised and fell, and the dagger slashed over the position where the sword spirit was before, but fortunately, the sword spirit dodged and bought it in time, otherwise it would have already become two sword spirits.
"Big brother, if you have something to say, don't move the knife, it's not good to hurt anyone. The sword spirit said anxiously in a place that Xiang Yu just couldn't reach.
"If anyone is unlucky today, it's you!" Xiang Yu threw the dagger at the sword spirit, but Xiang Yu deliberately missed it, just to force the sword spirit to tell the truth about everything before.
"I really didn't do it!" In desperation, the sword spirit had to tell the truth, and if he concealed it, it was estimated that his life would not be guaranteed, "It was the sword demon who did it! The sword demon is about to awaken!"
"Awakening?" Xiang Yu frowned, "What do you mean?"
"The world will soon experience a catastrophe. ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Xiang Yu asked rhetorically.
For Xiang Yu, completing the task is the first priority, and the first condition for completing the task is to revive the hegemony, and if the hegemony is revived, it is natural to overthrow Liu Bang's rule.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first", Xiang Yu stretched out his hand to grab the sword of salvation suspended in the air, and his eyes showed a fierce light:
"There was Jing Ke who assassinated the King of Qin before, and today I, Xiang Yu, am going to break into the palace alone and take Liu Bangxiang's head. ”
