【019】The path of purgatory that comes with hope

Ji Xuanyuan.

A girl with a destiny on her back.

The beautiful tattoos on her back, as smooth as jade, and the magical and powerful golden heavy sword in her hand, all gave her the ability to lead her destiny, the ability to lead the fate of the human race.

Those monsters who once ruined the "Youxiong Clan", killed Ji Xuanyuan's relatives, her father Shaodian, caused her to wander around, and made her wander away before the ghost gate was closed several times, those monsters who were called Honkai Beasts by the twin gods in the sword-

Vulnerable to the edge of your own sharp sword!

She saved one tribe after another, rescued one survivor after another, and met the young man who was devoted to her, and her once frozen heart was gradually thawing.

She will defeat all the Honkai beasts and, with him, lead the Terrans to a more prosperous future!

It was supposed to be like this......

……

……

……

Ten days ago.

"Huh...... Hahh......"

Tired of her endless exhaustion, the maiden thrust her golden sword heavily into the ground, resting with her hands on the hilt.

Jiang Zhu they ...... I guess it's already far away......

Such a sentence flashed in his heart, and then immediately put the idea of "going back to find their traces to converge" behind him, Ji Xuanyuan took a deep breath and lifted the sword on the ground again.

No way! If I go back to them, the Honkaimon frenzy will surely catch up quickly, and no one will be able to escape by then!

With this thought, Ji Xuanyuan's eyes became more and more determined, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of Xuanyuan's sword, feeling the terrifying power on his sword like a hidden dragon.

This was originally an invincible supreme sword in the world, and all ordinary Honkai Beast enemies could be cut in two with one sword, and opponents who encountered trouble could win with just a few moves.

Not to mention what injuries caused Ji Xuanyuan to suffer, even the Honkai Beast that made her feel "so difficult", "so troublesome" or "so tricky" had never appeared.

No, it hadn't been seen seven days ago.

But that day made Ji Xuanyuan seem to go back to many years ago, back to that time when he didn't have any power, back to that time when he watched his relatives lose their lives.

……

On that day, in the daylight, a colorful and boundless auspicious light suddenly appeared in the sky, just as an ancient god was enraged by the misery of the human race and mercifully sowed the seeds of hope on the human race.

Countless clansmen bowed down, even Lord Shennong was no exception, but only Ji Xuanyuan, the supreme Yellow Emperor of the human race, stood there neither humble nor arrogant.

Because she sensed a very familiar and unfamiliar aura from the colorful auspicious light, that breath made her really unable to raise the slightest idea of worship.

Those colorful lights were so beautiful that even Ji Xuanyuan, who did not bow down, looked forward to the beginning of a better future, a sign of the beautiful world's goodwill towards the human race.

Therefore, no one could have imagined that the colorful auspicious light would come along with not hope, but like the deepest and darkest ...... Despair.

That night, the drama of hell......

The curtain was raised.

Countless Honkai Beasts.

It's not the kind of ordinary Honkai beast that can pick out ten at will with its own sword, or even, it's not one of those elite-level Honkai beasts that you need to put a little effort into solving by yourself.

Rather, it is like the legendary form on the totem of the ancient tribe, which is a lord-level Honkai beast based on the dragon, each of which has terrifying combat power, even if it is Ji Xuanyuan, it needs to be fully concentrated, in order to be able to deal with two or three at the same time.

But those Honkai beasts ......

Densely packed, occupying the mountains and fields, paving the slopes of the earth, it is impossible to clearly estimate their number with the eyes and brain, or even confirm an approximate ...... None of them can be done!

The direction of those Honkai beasts that exist beyond common sense is the direction in which the colorful auspicious light exists, so it is not accurate, it should be said that those Honkai beasts are heading in the direction.

The dragon-shaped Honkai beast rushed from the north, and the target was the southwest direction where the colorful auspicious light was located.

The various tribes that the girl surnamed Ji had worked so hard to save were devastated and devastated, and all this was only because these Honkai beasts passed through their territory.

Yes, those dragon-shaped Honkai beasts didn't attack them.

It's as if they're being pulled by something, born from somewhere that doesn't exist, and then stepping into a place that attracts them, destroying everything in their path with the claws.

The Pterodactyl Honkai Beasts in the sky were fine, but those large running dragon-like Honkai Beasts were like the epic storm recorded in the classics, and when they swept in, the stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and blood was flying.

Tens of thousands of people were killed in this battleless massacre, and the leader of the Terran was violently knocked into the air, and then sat on his knees weakly, and the golden sword was thrown some distance away by inertia.

It's as if you've traveled back in time to that bloody and carnage night.

Flames, corpses, tears, and the golden heavy sword that the "Old Gods Protect Humanity" that offered no protection at all.

History seems to be repeating itself, she thought she had the power to save more people, but now she realized that the so-called "rescue" was just a joke played by fate.

"She can't save anyone!"

"Uhh......hh Ahhh - Ah!! ”

The girl who had lost her mind held her head and wailed in pain, and her whole body shrunk into a ball on the barren land, surrounded by a crumbling pile of potholes and ruins that had been trampled over.

But the next moment, the world suddenly cleared up.

The confused girl opened her eyes and looked into the distance, it was the light that rose to the sky, as if the gods and Buddhas who had come into the world, lighting up the whole world, it was a huge pillar of light composed of red, cyan, blue, and brown, rising to the sky.

The traveling dragon-like monsters were instantly engulfed in light, disintegrated into tiny particles that were imperceptible at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared into the world.

"Flames, punishment of unequal rules."

The beautiful girl who sat on the dust faintly heard someone whispering this completely incomprehensible word in her ear, and the voice sounded very beautiful, beautiful, and longing.

gave Ji Xuanyuan an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Your Excellency...... Are you okay? The young man's gentle voice pulled Ji Xuanyuan, who was sitting on the ground, back to reality, and she turned her head to see the young man's handsome face and vibrant hair like flames.

Jiang Zhu's face was full of worry, and he looked nervously at this girl he had always liked and longed for.

The giant dragon just now was seven zhang tall, and compared to it, Ji Xuanyuan, who was less than five feet away by it, was just like a little bit.

Even if he knew that she was very powerful, how could he not be worried?

Let a girl stand in front of her and fight to the death for the fate of the entire human race......

"It's okay," Ji Xuanyuan shook his head, slowly got up from the ground, ran forward quickly a few steps to pick up the Xuanyuan sword that fell on the ground, and gently wiped the dust on it.

Obviously, you only need to manipulate the ability of water to wash the sword body, and you only need to manipulate the power of earth to remove dust, Mingming......

But she still used her dusty noble robe to wipe the Xuanyuan sword that didn't need to be washed by this leakage method, and the golden long sleeves and the golden sword kept rubbing......

"Tick ......"

A tear fell on the sword without warning.

It was a very slight sound at first, and even she herself, whose hearing had become incomparable, could only hear the sound of tears dripping down the sword.

But in my mind, the voice is repeated, amplified......

The one who has been "killed" by himself, the fragile self.

……

Don't.

……

Don't.

……

Don't!!

……

"Your Excellency?"

Jiang Zhu's concerned voice frightened the trance-like Ji Xuanyuan fiercely, and the Xuanyuan sword unfortunately took off, and in the mournful sound of the divine sword's "clang", the sword body that had just been wiped off was once again dusty.

Her pupils shrank, and Ji Xuanyuan quickly picked up the Xuanyuan Sword again, and she lowered her head with her back to Jiang Zhu, her whole face was shrouded in the shadow cast by the bonfire that she kicked into.

"Jiang Zhu," her voice was slightly dry, "you lead the rest of the clan to evacuate to the northeast, such an incident will definitely not happen simply." ”

There was no trembling in the voice, only an abyss-like calm.

Completely different from the uneasiness when he had just shed a tear, there was a resolute and decisive tone in his somewhat cold tone now, like the king's lofty strategy when the enemy army was pressing down.

But Jiang Zhu didn't think so, because he saw that the girl's right hand trembled slightly because she was tightly gripping the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword, and blood was slowly dripping from her left hand that was clenched into a fist.

Clever enough to guess what decision the other party was going to make, his soul told him to stop her, but he gave up the unrealistic idea without rational denial.

Because she is the savior.

The only savior.

He wanted to go on the battlefield with her, and he wanted to tell her what kind of mission was dangerous, so don't go.

He even wanted to tell her that he liked her! So for your own sake, beg her not to put her in danger again!

But he couldn't.

He could only watch the sword-wielding girl fade away in the sunlight, and then triumph in the past.

He could only pray silently, sharing some of her worries and worries besides the battle behind her back.

She was unscarred, but he was worried about her all the time. She wasn't sad, but he made her laugh all day long.

It's not because he enjoys this feeling of watching his "husband" go out early and return late like a "housewife", and it's not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death so he doesn't dare to go to war with her.

Just because he can't.

Because he followed her to the battlefield, he could only play the role of "dragging her down the oil bottle".

In that case, she who is not scarred may add trauma, and she who is not sad may add pain.

So he can't.

That's all.

"Okay, my lord," the faint smile that Jiang Zhu had been wearing on his face seemed to disappear, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became straight, and his eyes were hidden in the shadow of his thick red hair.
