Chapter XXXVII

Everywhere the flood went, houses collapsed and civilians died, even though they had already swept through most of the imperial city, but they did not appear to be decaying at all.

"Now, do you believe what I'm saying?" Xiang Yu did a backflip in the air over the guard's head and came to Liu Bang.

"How can this be?" Liu Bang came to the wall alone, looking at the scene of screams in the distance, Liu Bang felt like he had been hit by the head, "The city wall is hard enough to withstand the impact of the flood, how did this flood break down the city wall?"

The reason why Liu Bang had such doubts was because the unquenchable fire that had never been extinguished suddenly disappeared, leaving only a ferocious and somewhat abnormal flood.

"Are you sure?" asked Xiang Yu with a frown.

"Hmm. ”

Liu Bang, who was originally going to fight to the death with Xiang Yu, "calmed down" inexplicably, and the two seemed to be on the same front.

"I also felt a little surprised, the flood started from the Wujiang River, and after such a long distance, there should not be such a momentum, let alone such a big impact. After Xiang Yu calmed down, he finally discovered that something was wrong with the flood.

Even if a person has not experienced a flood, most of them have seen it on TV, and although it can wash away a car or a person, it is nonsense to wash away such a thick wall.

"There's got to be something wrong with that. Liu Bang pondered the strangeness, if he didn't solve the problem of the flood, what was the point of killing Xiang Yu himself?

Xiang Yu's mind quickly recalled the details of the previous incident, and finally locked the key clue on the "Sword Demon".

"This can't be a ghost caused by the Sword Demon, right?" Xiang Yu muttered, it was the Sword Demon who caused the flood before, and the foreign force that helped Xiang Yu kill the black was most likely also the Sword Demon, so that the huge impact of the flood would make sense.

"What is a sword demon?" asked Liu Bang.

"I can't explain it to you for the time being, you just need to know that now is not the time for the two of us to compete for the world, we should always be external and fight against the more powerful external existence. ”

"Hmm. Liu Bang nodded slightly, "However, after all this is over, the two of us must have a break." ”

The sword of salvation held in Xiang Yu's hand began to tremble non-stop, the speed of trembling became faster and faster, making a "buzzing" sound, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang looked at the long sword together, and Xiang Yu's face instantly became gloomy.

The red light wrapped the sword body, and as for the milky white light on the sword body, it became extremely faint, giving people a feeling of lingering.

"Oh no!" When the red light lit up, Xiang Yu knew that what he was most worried about in his heart just now was about to happen.

When the flood crosses, the hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial city will definitely not be spared, and after the death of these people, the sword demon will absorb their souls one by one and make himself stronger.

Before, he could only absorb 100,000 souls to burst out with such terrifying energy, but now if he really let the sword demon succeed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What the hell is going on? What do I need to do?" Liu Bang was anxious, although he had seen the black ability before, but when he saw the glowing long sword in Xiang Yu's hand, Liu Bang completely put himself and Xiang Yu on the same front.

"Evacuate quickly with the rest of the people, the farther away the better!" Xiang Yu was obviously a little struggling when he said this.

The sword of salvation trembled faster and faster, trying to break free from Xiang Yu's hand, the rapid friction made Xiang Yu's palm painful, and the tiger's mouth was directly cracked.

Xiang Yu held the sword with both hands, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, the whole person gritted his teeth, and his face was already in a hideous state.

"Quick...... Go!" Xiang Yu shouted loudly, Xiang Yu's physical strength was about to be exhausted at this time.

Liu Bang led people away in a hurry, Xiang Yu's body burst out with the last strength, Xiang Yu held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, and inserted the sword body into the ground, only then did he feel that the trembling of the sword of salvation had slowed down slightly.

Xiang Yu knelt on one knee, the clothes on his body were already soaked, his chest rose and fell violently, panting heavily, and he didn't dare to slack off in his hands.

The tremor stopped suddenly, Xiang Yu was a little shocked, and after letting go of his hands with common sense, and after finding that there was no change, Xiang Yu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boom!"

With the Sword of Salvation as the center, a red light tore the floor from the ground, Xiang Yu was shocked and flew out, his body hit the pillar behind him, and Xiang Yu fainted.

The Sword of Salvation flew into the sky, flying around in the sky at a rapid pace, and the pattern that had appeared above the Wujiang River before reappeared.

Looking at the Sword of Salvation again, the milky white part on it completely disappeared, the sword spirit flew to Xiang Yu's side before the formation of the formation, and came to the top of Xiang Yu's head, a burst of milky white light bathed on Xiang Yu's head, and Xiang Yu finally came to his senses.

"My skull hurts so much!" Xiang Yu rubbed his head and sat up, the intense pain made Xiang Yu's face very ugly.

"Wait a minute, your skull will hurt even more. Sword Spirit sighed helplessly.

"Why are you here?" Xiang Yu stood up and looked at the sword spirit with a puzzled expression.

"Are you frustrated by the collision?" Sword Spirit glanced at Xiang Yu with disgust, and then pointed to the savior sword that was spinning rapidly in the sky, "I can't go back." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiang Yu looked at the cracked marks on the ground, as well as the sword of salvation in the sky, and his face was sad.

"If no one stops the Sword Demon, the Sword Demon will awaken. ”

The flood had almost submerged the entire imperial city, and because Xiang Yu was in a higher position, he was not affected too much, and at the same time, he was able to see everything around him clearly.

The entire imperial city has been turned into a "water world", and the water surface is full of debris floating everywhere, screams, and cries for help are mixed together, and it is noisy.

"Help me, help, I don't want to die!" cried a woman who was floating on the water.

"Help me!" the woman was submerged by the water, and the woman struggled to stick her head out of the water, coughing incessantly.

In the face of such a major disaster, everyone lives for themselves, and no one cares about the lives of others.

Liu Bang only evacuated the people on the other side of the imperial city, adding up to only a few hundred, which was very small compared to the number of people in the entire imperial city. However, this has reached the limit, everything is too late, even if the evacuation starts at the moment Xiang Yu appears, such a huge population will make the retreat an impossible task.

"I did my best, Xiang Yu, the rest is up to you. ”

Before Liu Bang rode away, he looked at the highest position in the imperial city, did not make any nostalgia, and left with his personal guards on horseback.

"Aren't you a sword spirit? Don't you have a solution?" The Sword of Salvation was suspended in the sky, Xiang Yu couldn't fly, and he couldn't even touch the Sword of Salvation, and after the previous physical confrontation, Xiang Yu knew that he was not the opponent of the Sword of Salvation.

"I have a way to try, but I have to wait until the Sword Demon is at his weakest. ”

"What way?" Xiang Yu asked anxiously, "What do you need to do now?"

And so on. ”

"Waiting to die?"

"You can do it!" the Sword Spirit mocked.

Xiang Yu glanced at the sword of salvation in the sky, and immediately admitted, "Forget it, I'd better be a calm person." ”

Xiang Yu and Sword Spirit just sat on the ground, and the two sighed together, and after glancing at each other, they sighed again.

"Why can't you just sit like this!Do you want to play some game?" Xiang Yu suggested, in the face of this kind of scene, there is nothing he can do, he can only find a way to relieve the depression in his heart.

"What are you talking about?"

"Fight the landlord, there are few people, and playing mahjong is even worse, since there are only two of us, why don't we play truth or dare?" Regarding the sword spirit and the sword demon, Xiang Yu has too many question marks, and the purpose of proposing this game is to take the opportunity to spy on the secret of the sword of salvation.

"Okay, what's the game?"

"Looking at the current situation, it is impossible to take a big risk, we can only tell the truth, that is, I ask you a question, you ask me a question, and we must all answer truthfully. Xiang Yu deliberately put himself in front when he announced the rules.

"Good. ”

"Why are you and the Sword Demon in the Sword of Salvation?"

"Actually, I am the seal of the Sword Demon, and the real purpose of sealing him in the sword is not to let him harm the world. ”

"Who did the sealed sword demon change?" Xiang Yu hurriedly asked.

"It's time for me to ask, right?" The sword spirit is not stupid or stupid, how can he let Xiang Yu play with it.

"You ask. ”

"Do you not belong to this world?" From the first time the sword spirit came out of the sword of salvation, when he saw Xiang Yu, he felt that there was a strange aura in Xiang Yu's body, a strange aura that did not belong to this world at all.

"You can say that, but it's not that simple. ”

"Well, no matter where you're from, I hope you can be worthy of the world. Sword Spirit's tone suddenly became serious, making Xiang Yu feel a little puzzled.

"Next question, who are you and the Sword Demon?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile on his face.

After the formation of the formation in the sky, there was no greater change, and the flood was still a little distance away from soaking this imperial city.

At this moment, Xiang Yu rarely felt a little relaxed, maybe, when there was no better solution, he could only go with the flow, listen to the destiny of heaven, and wait for the moment that the sword spirit said before came.

"Isn't it good for you to do this? The sword spirit pouted, but continued to answer Xiang Yu's question, "The memory of my previous life has been sealed, and in my memory, I only know that my mission is to seal the sword demon, no matter what happens, I can't let the sword demon harm the world." ”

"......"

The surrounding environment seemed to have stopped something, but the cries for help around him were still continuous, which proved that Xiang Yu was not deaf.

What is it? Xiang Yu stood up and looked around, only then did he realize the problem.

When the flood reached the other end of the imperial city, it stopped, without any shelter or warning, and just stopped. It's like someone pressed the pause button, and the water is as calm as a virgin.

It's as if nothing has happened, but it's happening.

Xiang Yu and Sword Spirit know very well:

This is the calm before the storm.
