Chapter 172

The Red Flame Legion garrison

Outside the tall walls stood rows of magical warriors, armor and spears glowing with a cold, hard light.

Inside the walls, archers from high towers of arrows looked around, ready to shoot their deadly arrows.

From the inside out, the atmosphere of slaughter did not ease in the slightest, with the infantry sharpening their swords and the knights feeding their beloved horses a feast before the battle.

Since Zelos and Sorakar took over the Red Flame Legion, this ordinary naval corps has become the strongest fighting force in Ionia, and has shone in this war with Noxus, becoming a veritable First Legion. The three major legions of Ionia, which are also subordinate to the Senate and the king, have been overwhelmed by the gods and dragon's fangs, and the authority of the Red Flame Legion in the homeland has not been challenged for many years.

"It seems that the king has also been coerced." Irelia put down the magic binoculars in her hand and sighed, "Even if the Red Flame Legion is not afraid of sacrifice and can use one as ten, it is impossible to block the siege of the Immortal God and the Dragon's Tooth with only two thousand troops. ”

"I'm more concerned than that, how is the little soldier you brought?" Yasuo took a sip of the wine, and the sweet and fragrant Shadinghull whisky brought him a hint of pleasure.

Irelia stared into the distance, vaguely discerning the flags looming in the forest. "Who knows, you can't die. But when I enter Peach Blossom Township, I'm afraid I won't want to come out again. ”

"You're jealous," Yasuo snatched the magic telescope and looked around the station before continuing, "Although the messenger can't reach the ancient city of the fox clan, he can still get in touch with the fox clan. As for why Brother Ji didn't come for a long time, I think he should have his own plans. ”

Irelia snorted faintly and said no more. Although she didn't care, she knew how much she was looking forward to the appearance of that familiar figure, especially when she especially needed someone to be by her side.

"Report to the general, there is a letter from the enemy."

The silence in the room was broken by the creep who suddenly broke in, and Irelia took the letter, seeing that it was stamped with the seal symbolizing the supreme king's power, and knew that it should be an inquiry from the king.

"What does the letter say?" Yasuo took a few steps back in disgust, as a guilty body, he naturally had no right to read the king's letter.

Irelia's face changed, she crumpled the letter in her hand into a paper ball and threw it in the trash, facing Yasuo with a wry smile: "The king told us to immediately disarm and give up resistance." ”

"Give up resistance? Does the king expect the Senate to give us a fair trial? Yasuo said angrily.

Irelia's eyes were hollow, and she seemed to be in a trance. "The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. The king's preference for the Red Flame Legion is just to seek a force that can compete with the Senate, and now that the war is about to be extinguished, the Red Flame Legion will not be able to lose its tail, and the king must of course find a way to cut off the excess forces. ”

Yasuo pondered for a moment, and also figured out this joint. "What are you going to do? I don't really want to be caught, I don't care as a guilty person, you don't deserve this. ”

Irelia suddenly smiled, "Loyalty to the country or loyalty to the king, my father gave me the answer many years ago. Otherwise, with his influence, it would be difficult to help the king restore. ”

"Those who are soldiers defend their families and the country. Home is everyone's home, and country is the country of all people. It must not become a tool for some people to compete for power, this is the purpose of the creation of the Red Flame Legion. If you want my life, take it yourself! ”

The ancient city of the fox clan

β€œX******! Don't want to be so big. Ji Yun scolded and groped his way through the dark alleyway.

After learning that Dao Mei was also looking for herself, Ji Yun immediately expressed her desire to go out. Unexpectedly, except for Ahri who objected, the rest of the fox girls also shook their heads again and again. As the first person in history to break the curse of the nine-tailed demon fox, the fox girls are very concerned about his safety, and they must not let him risk his life again.

Although Ji Yun is lustful and timid, as a man, he can't allow his woman to have an accident. Concerned for Irelia's safety, he found an opportunity to sneak out.

Thinking of having to use a beautiful man's trick on the medicine maid just now in order to sneak away, Ji Yun was still unsatisfied. Under the guise of making her a real human, Ji Yun effortlessly tricked the simple fox girl into bed.

"It's a pity that I can see and touch it, but I can't XX," feeling the aroma between his fingers, Ji Yun sighed.

It's also strange to say, although the ruins of the ancient city of the fox clan - the ruins of the sea capital are huge, why do you feel that you are still in the same place after walking for a long time.

"These foxes aren't going to be so boring that every street is built exactly the same."

"That's because you're lost, what a stupid guy." A sentence suddenly floated faintly in the darkness, startling Ji Yun, who was talking to himself.

"I didn't run away, I just got bored and went out to hang out." Ji Yun raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of resisting.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those foxes." A girl floated in front of Ji Yun from above like a feather.

She wears a jeweled hoop on her head, a snow-white dog tooth tied around her neck, and a sun-filled skin with a long green dress, which is quite exotic.

Ji Yun looked up along her **** little feet, there was a pair of slender legs under the black gauze skirt, and under her buttocks sat a floating blanket.

"Don't say it earlier," Ji Yun had no love for the dark skin, bypassed the girl, buried his head and continued to walk forward.

The girl didn't stop her, looking at Ji Yun's distant back, covering her mouth and chuckling.

Ji Yun ran wildly all the way, with his explosive power at this time, even if the Olympic champion came, he would have to sigh to himself. The buildings in the dark shadows on both sides were rapidly retreating, and Ji Yun calculated in his heart that he had run about five or six kilometers.

"Hee-hee, see you again." Ji Yun, who was stopping and panting, suddenly saw the alien young ** soul stopped in front of him.

"Why are you following me all the time?" Ji Yun was a little annoyed, isn't this a mess.

"Hee-hee, I didn't move, it's you who is going in circles." The interracial girl was not angry at Ji Yun's rude questioning, and still said with a smile.

Ji Yun looked around when he heard this, only to realize that he had actually returned to the same place. "Damn!" Ji Yun was angry and anxious and slammed a punch into the waste wall.

The girl just looked at Ji Yun curiously, and her big eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark.

"Are you really the Chosen One?" She asked suddenly.

Ji Yun, who was losing his temper, was stunned, and his eyes when he looked at the girl became solemn, "How do you know?" ”

"Because I'm the Apocalypse!" As if she didn't notice the hostility coming from Ji Yun, she floated in front of Ji Yun and stretched out her hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, the thirteenth Chosen One." Ji Yun quietly clenched his fists, as the saying goes: "Money is not exposed." "If the news of having a magical upgrade system spread, it will definitely attract the covetousness of countless people.

"Are you wondering how you can restrain me?" The dark eyes of the alien girl seemed to be able to see the depths of Ji Yun's heart, and she looked at Ji Yundao with a smile.

Ji Yun was shocked when he heard this, took two steps back, and the Ice Vein Gauntlet shot out a blue light. The Startik Electric Blade was destroyed in the Battle of the Soul Purification Temple, and now this is his strongest weapon, and he is now using all his strength to freeze this strange girl on the spot. But the girl seemed to have predicted his actions, and hid to the side in advance.

The blue light struck the half-collapsed church in the distance, forming a thick layer of frost. Those decaying stone bricks, although they have experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, how can they withstand such a huge blow again, and they collapsed to the ground with a bang, and dust and smoke billowed up. Ji Yun sat on the ground, holding the idea of killing with one blow, just now he exerted all his strength without reservation, and at this moment the magic energy in his body was already empty.

"It seems that I am still not strong enough! Although he has become a beginner hero, and his newly earned talent points have also been used to upgrade his combat effectiveness, he still has no power to fight back when he meets a real master. ”

"You're already very good, the blow just now can probably reach the level of a third-order hero, you should be proud to be a beginner-level hero." The interracial girl actually gained insight into Ji Yun's psychological activities again, and comforted her.

Losing his combat effectiveness, Ji Yun's mind calmed down. Although the interracial girl chattered, she didn't seem to be hostile to him, and there was even a hint of concern.

"Wait......" Ji Yun seemed to remember something, and punched himself in the head fiercely. Damn it! Isn't the Apocalypse Karma? It is not unusual for this woman who is famous in the mainland for her psychic abilities to be able to read minds. ”

"You seem to know me well?" Karma frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of magical mirror are you holding in your hand, and why is my life written on it." ”

Ji Yun hurriedly forcibly cut off his memories, and the picture transmitted in his mind just now Karma could also see it clearly. As for the magical little mirror, it is Ji Yun's Huawei mobile phone, I remember that in order to make up for the generation gap with his classmates, he specially placed a League of Legends on his mobile phone to control evil and supplement the information.

Karma is a great master of mind cultivation, and his character should be very noble, and he may not shamelessly torture his secrets. Ji Yun put down his snack a little and said, "I don't know what the Apocalypse is looking for me?" ”

Karma smiled gently, looked at Ji Yun and said mischievously, "It's not that Irelia noticed that I was in Shadinghel and used the heart strings I left before to contact me, so I had to come over to see how you were doing." This sister of mine is cold-faced and soft-hearted. ”

Ji Yun was stunned, but she didn't expect that it was Irelia who sent her. Thinking of the past, my heart was moved, and my heart to leave became more urgent.

"But what I didn't expect was that you were actually the chosen one of this term, and I originally went to Shadinghel to find you, which is a coincidence." Karma looked at Ji Yun and continued.

"I'm also a fool and I'm a chosen one, I haven't done anything to kill people and set fires, why are you looking for me." Ji Yun became vigilant again.

"Giggles, don't be afraid, I'm your guide. Coming to you will definitely give you benefits, and will never harm you. In order to dispel the doubts in Ji Yun's heart, Karma said bluntly.

"Every time the Chosen One comes, there will be an Apocalypse to show them the way. It's just that the Chosen One has only descended thirteen times in thousands of years, and it's my blessing to meet you. ”

"Wherever and where, it is my blessing to have a beautiful woman like you to show me the way." After hearing the reason clearly, there were still benefits to be gained, Ji Yun immediately became interested, and by the way, he also felt pleasing to the eyes of Karma's dark skin. It's just that in front of such a girl who can see through other people's hearts, he doesn't dare to have any dirty thoughts.

Karma's face suddenly changed, and her beautiful long legs danced in the wind, hooking Ji Yun's neck.

Before Ji Yun could savor the cool and silky touch coming from his neck, he was taken into the air by the flying carpet.

"Daddy! As for the good guide, it seems that the woman's words really can't even be trusted with punctuation. ”

"Look at the ...... below," Karma didn't explain, but just pointed to the place where Kiyunhara had been cut out of a large circular hole below.

"Anyone else?" Ji Yun hugged Karma's thighs, cowered on the narrow flying carpet and closed his eyes.

It was quiet all around, and there was no sound except for Karma and Ji Yun's breathing and heartbeat. Even the murderous aura that dominated the eyes just now disappeared without a trace.

"Hidden so tightly?" Ji Yun turned on the [Eye of God Mode], determined to strangle this unknown crisis in the cradle.

In the Eye of God mode, the darkness around him receded, and every brick and tile appeared clearly in Ji Yun's mind. Only then did Ji Yun see the true appearance of this ruin, and it turned out that the intricate streets under his feet were composed of strange arcs. When the light is unclear, it is very easy to cause visual errors, and inadvertently go around in a big circle to return to the original place.

Thinking that this was in order to defend against the invasion of the human race, the fox clan specially built a maze of streets and houses, and they relied on their sense of smell to recognize the way, but they did not have to worry about getting lost in the city.

Ji Yunzai carefully inspected every inch of land, and found no trace of the intruder, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. This is the first time that the Eye of God mode has not worked, and it seems that you can't just rely on the help provided by the cheat system, and improving your own strength is the king.

Karma glanced at Ji Yun appreciatively, stroked the disc in his hand and said, "It's a ninja."

"And he is a very powerful ninja, who must have passed the Takanu ritual and cultivated the stoic nature of his parents who were tortured in front of him and did not change his face. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide from my psychic probe. Kalmar thought for a moment and added.

"The Twilight Eye sees no despair in the victim, only the elegance of balance and harmony." Ji Yun suddenly thought of this sentence in his ears.

There are only two schools of ninjutsu in the Land of Runeterra, one is the shadow stream that worships shadows, and the other is an ancient school that has survived since ancient times.

Ji Yun understood the practice of that group of perverts to exterminate humanity, and he thought about his performance after crossing over, as if there was nothing to overstep, he really didn't know how to provoke this group of crazy people. In comparison, although the shadow stream is an evil inheritance, after all, it still has human desires, and it is much more lovely than a group of stones that can only eat and drink Lazar.

"Stand back!" Karma's scream woke up Ji Yun, who was thinking wildly, and the disc as bright as the moon blocked the sudden appearance of the blade.

Ji Yun turned around, only a fist away from those eyes made of stone. A drop of cold sweat dripped from his nose, "I'm X!" He kicked the back of the sword at his side. On the island of Ionia there is a sect that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, dedicated to maintaining balance. This sect is called the Balance Sect, and it is also the birthplace of the way of ninja.

They believe that rules and chaos, light and darkness – everything must coexist in harmony is the truth of the universe. Anyone who violates the balance will face the worst punishment from heaven, and the cult's sacred mission to maintain the balance of the world is carried out by three shadow warriors. Twilight's Eye - Shin is one of the three Shadow Warriors who have the sacred duty of stargazing - to carry out the rulings impartially.

The heirs of Twilight Eyes must have a heart like stone, abandon all superfluous emotions, and dedicate their souls to the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.

And Shen is always so good, even his equally talented brother-in-law, Zheng, is slightly inferior to him, so he has become the modern Twilight Eye.

Ionian 455, hinterland of the mountains.

The trees cover the sky, and the tall rolling mountains surround it. In the central basin of the mountain range, lies the only monastery in Ionia.

The Taoist temple is not tall and magnificent, not splendid, and does not even have a trace of majesty. It had only a dozen dilapidated houses and a crumbling courtyard wall. In the vast mountains, he is like an old man who is over the age of six, lonely waiting for the arrival of death.

However, in a place like Ionia, where the whole country worships Buddhism, the appearance of such a Taoist temple is still very shocking.

This is where the Ancient Sect of Equilibrium is located.

In order to cope with the increasingly severe Third Aino War, and in order to fulfill their duty to maintain balance, the elders of the Balance Sect who have been out for many years have broken through the barrier and began to choose this Shadow Warrior, that is, the successor of the three great titles of Twilight Eye, Berserk Heart, and Shadow Fist.

Shen has been preparing for a long time, and for the arrival of this glorious moment, he has gone through unimaginable hardships and paid twenty-two years of passionate youth.

From ignorance, he was instilled with the concept of balance, and he began to practice the mystery of ninjutsu from a toddler. Becoming the successor of Twilight Eye is Shin's only and greatest dream.

And at this moment, this dream was so close to him that he could even hear its fervent call and joy.

"Can we start? Cautious. "Looking at the strongest person of the younger generation, the genius who broke through the sixth stage of the ninja at the age of the weak crown, the law enforcement elders who have always been unsmiling all showed a rare smile.

"The Twilight Eye sees no despair in the victim, only the elegance of balance and harmony." Shen silently recited the prayer, abandoning the last trace of distraction in his heart, and looked at the multicolored ball of light that emitted a seductive halo, and nodded lightly.

"The Takanu Ceremony has officially begun!" The law enforcement elder looked at Shen with a calm face with appreciation, and with his cultivation, he could naturally sense whether Shen's calm was from the heart or forcibly suppressed, and he was very happy that he got the answer he wanted.

"Maybe he'll be the strongest Twilight Eye ever." Akali looked at Shen Dao, who was walking towards Twilight Eyes.

"I don't know if he'll be the strongest Twilight Eye ever, but I know I'll be the strongest Berserk Heart ever." Kenan, who was a little shorter than Akali, stood on his tiptoes and couldn't see the crowd, so he simply abandoned his friend and walked to the inheritance site of Furious Heart.

"Wait for me, Kenan." Akali also reluctantly left, "Damn it, I just cared about Shen's performance, and I almost missed the inheritance ceremony of the Shadow Fist." ”

On the periphery of the crowd, there was also a silent youth. He stood alone in the corner, like a forgotten stone statue. He is the child picked up by Shen's father, Shen's righteous brother - Zheng. Although he has the same ninja talent that is rare in a thousand years, he didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the test because of his unknown origin.

"Cherish all that you have gained, for in the near future they will be reduced to ashes." In the deepening twilight, the corners of his mouth under the mask curled in a strange arc.

【The first level of mortal desire】

Shen is getting closer and closer to the eye of twilight. The strength with which he lifts his legs, the curvature when he puts them down, and the distance he travels with each step is almost the same, and he looks like a marionette. Even though a few people have surpassed him, it still hasn't changed in the slightest.

There is only one Twilight Eye in the world, and there are too many people in the world who want to obtain the ability of the Twilight Eye, so be careful to wait for the exam questions set by the elders to appear.

The leaders suddenly stopped, and although there was no obstruction in front of them, they showed hesitant expressions.

This time there was no time, and Shen followed. The picture suddenly changed in front of me, and I left the silent examination room in an instant and came to the crowded street.

Shen knew that this was an illusion cast by the elders, but it was all so real. Even the smell of steamed buns from the small shop next to it is so appetizing.

Shen did not stop or wonder, and walked straight down the street with a slow but firm pace. Through the human body, through the brick walls, nothing could disturb his mind and stop his steps.

Even if someone slashed at him with a knife, even if a beautiful woman ****** around his neck, even if the old woman was beaten to death by a few thugs who snatched her purse in front of his eyes.

He didn't blink, and there wasn't a trace of discord in his heart.

So he walked out of the illusion, still walking slowly but surely.

[The second level of the world]

Shen's eyes changed again, this time not on the street, but in an ordinary mountain village.

Born, toddler, able to speak, study, marry, have children, educate people, twilight years, return to the land. In the illusion, he experienced his life as a person, saw all kinds of things in the world, and was used to seeing sadness and detachment.

Countless images of anger, emotion, sorrow, and joy flashed in his mind, but they could not elicit a cautious response.

His rock-solid heart did not tremble once.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be the strongest genius of my Balanced Sect for thousands of years, so good!" The hearty laughter of the law enforcement elder spread into the illusion, and Shen, who was lying in the loess, watched as the whole world began to fall apart and turn into chaos.

He knew he had successfully crossed the second level.

"Shen, you are the only one who can be protected from external influences. This time the Twilight Eye is your inheritance. ”

The words of the law enforcement elder echoed in his ears, and he looked back cautiously when he returned to reality.

I saw that most people stopped in the first level, and even if a few were lucky enough to pass the first level, they were struggling in the second level.

As the first and seemingly the only one to pass the test, it stands to reason that he will inherit Twilight's eyes. However, Shen felt as if something was missing, and these were not enough for him.

If you want to become the strongest Twilight Eye in history, of course, you must pass the strongest test in history.

"Elder Mogg, I want to continue with the third level of testing."

Hearing Shen's calm reply, the law enforcement elder's smile froze on his face.

"Why continue, you've got what you wanted."

"There's no why." Shen is still in a light tone, but with an authority that cannot be refuted.

The law enforcement elder found that he suddenly couldn't see this junior handsome man clearly, could it be that he was really old? "The third level has not been opened for a thousand years, and even if we maintain equilibrium by the will of God, it is impossible to deprive us of all human imprints. It's a godsend, and if you fail the challenge, you'll endure the most brutal punishment and forfeit the right to inherit the Eye of Twilight. ”

"I know." The cautious and simple answer shattered the last glimmer of hope for the Law Enforcement Elder.

"Prepare for the third level test," he reluctantly ordered, as if he had aged more than a decade in an instant.

【The third level of innate imprints】

Material desires, appetites, ****, joys, sorrows, love and hatred, people have countless desires. But these desires are only imposed on the body in the acquired learning, like ink spots on white paper.

What desires are innate! That is the dependence on parents, which is the raw material for making white paper, and it cannot be eliminated at all.

Even the most ruthless and cold-blooded person cannot face his parents, and his heart does not tremble in the slightest.

If you can really isolate this desire, it is simply the six pure roots, and you will become a Buddha on the ground.

The third level of the test is a test that this is not a mortal realm.

Shen's parents were brought out by the Great Flower, and although his father was an elder of the sect, and his mother was still very beautiful, neither of them showed the slightest respect or pity.

The salt-soaked whip crackled in the air, and the mother's clothes were torn, and the snow-white skin was soon covered with red blood marks.

Ignoring his equally scarred body, his father took his mother in his arms and wanted to bear some whipping for her.

Shen is like a stone statue, watching all this with cold eyes. Looking at his father's eyes full of hatred, looking at his mother's eyes that still looked at him lovingly.

He felt no anger or sorrow until his parents were drawn into blood and passed out in their arms, and his heart did not fluctuate in the slightest if it could still be called a human heart.

"Congratulations, you're officially the Eye of Twilight." The hoarse voice of the law enforcement elder announced the outcome of the game. There was no imaginary cheers and cheers, and a chill rose in the hearts of everyone who witnessed all this.

"Is such a person still human?"
