Chapter 464: Shadow Killing
Among the origins of the name Seven Killings, one of them is to kill oneself. Killing oneself is the first of the seven killings, abandoning all your superfluous emotions and killing the self in your heart that does not meet your thoughts, so that you can have the next six kills.
A faint light shone from the short dagger held in the hands of the Seven Killers, a light that was hidden in the darkness and could not be easily discovered. In the night, it skillfully blends in, as if there is and as if there is nothing, and merges with the darkness of the night.
The dagger was cold, and that coldness had been spreading from the palm of the Seven Kills to his bones. Icy chilling. It is as if you are in an abyss with heavy snow, which has a short dagger and a low pressure brought by opening the horns.
When Zhang Jiao no longer suppressed his killing intent, not only Zhang Banxian, who was facing him, but even the seven killings next to him were affected. His heart was clouded, and there was a feeling of being breathless, only the pain in his back, constantly reminding him, constantly reminding him to retreat.
Keep wiping, keep cutting off the fear in your heart, the fear that naturally arises.
This is the effect of Zhang Jiao, this pressure is invisible, but it is enough to make a killer like Seven Kills feel depressed. But he is different, or stronger, from other killers, and he has the ability to undo the effects of the horns until the impact is minimal.
Zhang Jiao didn't notice the existence of the Seven Killings at all, he didn't take the Seven Killings to heart at all, and in addition, the existence of the Seven Killings had become extremely weak at this time. This probably belongs to his own trait, and the Seven Kills belong to the kind of person who will not be noticed if he is thrown into the three as long as he doesn't want to be noticed.
Until now, he was still unnoticed, and there was a little reason why he ignored him, and there was also a reason for his character. When he doesn't want others to notice him, then no one will notice him, but will unconsciously forget his existence.
He is like smoke, like the big trees and grass next to him, but in a person's field of vision, he is the kind that is often overlooked. Especially before he was ready to kill, he completely hid himself and didn't reveal the slightest edge, only in this way could he kill the person he wanted to kill.
Just like Zhang Jiao asked just now, how to choose, Seven Kills knew that it was not asking him, but he would still answer. He chooses, chooses what he chooses at the beginning, and it is precisely because he chooses it himself, so he will not change his choice, even if he can't kill, even if he will die!
Seven Kills felt Zhang Jiao's mood fluctuations, and was keenly aware of the weaknesses he was now exposing, as simple as eating and drinking. In the daily life of Seven Kills, even when he meets an unknown passerby on the street, the weaknesses he sees now will appear in his mind, including how to kill him.
Seven Kills saw it, he saw the flaws that Zhang Jiao was revealing now, or the flaws that disappeared in a flash, and then I, Zhang Jiao returned to that state without flaws. His back was exposed, but when he looked from behind, it was as if he was facing it head-on.
Seven Kills didn't know how he was going to kill Zhang Jiao, but he knew that he had to use the means he was best at and the method he was most familiar with. Everything has to be thought of as the worst, so Seven Kills raised the dagger, and the dagger slashed into the darkness, and there was a shadow trail that suddenly twisted from the shadows and appeared from the darkness.
Spread, spread, that darkness is everywhere, as long as it is darkness, there is a place for it. The dagger in the hands of the Seven Killers was handed out very slowly, as if he was not killing, but doing something like performance art.
How can you kill someone with such a slow movement? I'm afraid that no matter who sees such an action, it will feel ridiculous, because such a slow movement can be avoided by anyone. Even if it is a child, he can clearly see and predict the movements of the seven killings, so as to dodge.
Who can be killed with such a killing move? No one can be killed.
But the seven killings are still hands-on, so ridiculous, doing such ridiculous actions, but he is extremely focused and abandons everything. The senses, the thoughts in the heart, including the gap between him and Zhang Jiao, between them, the gap that the Seven Killings understood.
What is the gap, maybe it is the gap between heaven and earth, maybe it is the gap between people, or it is the gap between killing and not killing. But none of this can stop him from killing a person, trying to kill a person, even if he can't kill him.
He was now full of peace, and there was not the slightest wave in his heart, not the slightest fluctuation. All that remains is a pure, sharp killing intent, killing Zhang Jiao, or ...... Kill yourself.
The figure behind Zhang Jiao began to distort, constantly trembling, and the black figure reflected in the firelight appeared to be connected. The dagger of the Seven Kills appeared inside, first the outline of the dagger, then a hand, an arm, and half of the body, appearing in the back of Zhang Jiao.
It was not a figure that belonged to Zhang Jiao, it was obvious, because Zhang Jiao was standing still now, but the figure that appeared suddenly was moving, slowly poking into Zhang Jiao's back, becoming an abrupt shadow.
Quietly, quietly, without a sound, without a hint of foreshadowing. It is impossible for anyone to pay attention to their backs, because it is night, and under the burning flames, everyone knows their figure, and that shadow is faint, constantly distorting, one part disappears, and another part appears.
That's the figure that belongs to oneself, and the figure that belongs to oneself belongs to oneself, such a pure, pure darkness of another self, another back that only belongs to oneself. Therefore, in this shadow, there is no such thing as oneself, but now in that shadow, there is another person, another silhouette with his own will and action.
In many cases, the shadow represents a person, a person who is distinctly present. Perhaps destroying a person's shadow means that the owner of the shadow has also gone to death.
Seven Kills is concentrating on doing this, focusing on appearing in the shadow of another person, his whole person now, has lost all perception, all five senses, he appeared in Zhang Jiao's shadow.
The dagger stabbed out towards Zhang Jiao.
"Shadow Kill."
