The woods filled with poisonous mist, black shadows drifted like ghosts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They wore hideous masks and carried huge tin cans on their backs, leaving behind strange green smoke as they ran.

The smoke spread overhead, and the shrubs and grasses below withered, and the branches and leaves turned into sticky green juice, which quickly evaporated, making the poisonous fog in the forest even thicker.

The squad of 100 men is the secret weapon of the Imperial Army, the Reapers, waiting for the trapped coalition forces to launch a senseless suicide attack.

But after a few rounds of long-range attacks, the coalition forces dispatched a cavalry and immediately withdrew, and there was no movement after that.

Until, two people entered the woods.

Two people, just two, and one of them is a woman.

If it weren't for the masks, the soldiers would have laughed.

But they couldn't laugh, and the man who rushed ahead quickly approached, and raised his hand very casually.

"Snort."

"Whew, whew......"

The heavy mask was torn apart by the sword qi, and the soldier subconsciously took two breaths, and instead of feeling the fresh air flow in his lungs, he became even more suffocated.

He realized something, and immediately reached out and grabbed his neck.

However, it was too late, and his pale face instantly turned a dark green color, and his chest finally rose and fell and squeezed out a cloud of filthy mucus from his mouth.

Rui Wen saw his appearance before he died, the skin on his face was a sickly white, and he must have been in an environment where he did not see the light of day for a long time.

So, she said softly: "Sure enough, it's from Zu'an, then, kill it, don't leave any of them." ”

"Just what I want."

Yi laughed out loud and rushed forward again, followed by Rui Wen.

A long sword, swift as the wind. A broadsword, as powerful as a mountain.

Two swords, two people, no, two death reapers, two devils.

The Zuans do not believe in God, they fear the devil. Because it was the devil who brought destruction and suffering to their kingdom thousands of years ago, and it was the devil who gave them strength and hope for thousands of years.

It's a pity that today these two devils don't want their fear, they just want their lives.

The battle ended quickly, because it was just a massacre.

The two rushed out of the woods, and Yi immediately began to meditate, removing the poisonous gas from his body and restoring the consumed life energy.

During this time, Rui Wen continued to raise her sword and stab in place, and a brief defensive shield appeared on her body, which also offset the subsequent damage of the poison gas.

Then, the two looked at each other.

"I can still fight, will I still come?" Riven asked.

"No, I don't want to fight you now." Yi smiled, "The matter between us is actually not hatred, even if it is, it is just hatred that cannot find the source." It was the Imperial Army that killed the people of Sword Forge Village, and you were just in it. It's like an ant bites me, I can't get angry and kill all the ants. ”

"Are you comparing me to an ant, I'm glad to see that you can be proud, but your proud appearance still makes me very unhappy." Rui Wen actually understands that Yi is not despising herself, and his metaphor is just to downplay her own sins. She had never killed civilians, but it was a sin to be part of a wrong war.

"Unhappy? I'm even happier to see that you're going to be upset, and your upset looks make me happy. ”

"Haha." The two laughed.

A smile is full of enmity, but there are tears in the laughter. Xu is enlightened, Xu is helpless.

War is a catalyst for hatred, but war also dilutes some hatred. There is no reason to talk about it, just because there are some things in life that are more cruel than war.

Be optimistic and you will have the courage to live.

Yi looked at the far north and said in a low voice: "I'm looking forward to fighting side by side with you again, but I'm going there, to pass on the intelligence of the coalition forces, and at the same time to meet some people." ”

Rui Wen frowned: "Are you some enemies again?" ”

Yi thought about it for a long time, and said with difficulty: "It should be counted." ”

……

The battle in Presidium was at a stalemate, and the repeated attempts to attack were blocked, which affected the morale of the Ionian army.

The heavy casualties have led to tensions within the army, with troops from several provinces in the central region of the crown already reluctantly resentful of the Holy Caesar's military deployment, refusing to continue to serve as the main attacking force on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Today, even Zeroth, loyal to the Temple, has changed his aggressive style and proposed to postpone the attack.

This was what Keisha feared the most, the armies from the central region of the crown were pawns to be sacrificed, and the power represented by Zelos was her right-hand man in this war.

Just as Keisha was in a dilemma, the appearance of a man diverted Zeroth's attention.

Infinite Sword Master, on October 20, he finally rushed to Presidium to bring information from the Southern Theater of Operations.

The content of the information was quite striking, but at the time Keisha and Zelos were focused on the man himself.

Yi, a kendo powerhouse who rose in the Southern War, and a new descendant of the legendary Wuji Kendo.

Keisha's impression of him is still many years ago, and the young Yi is Rito's apprentice, a very weak apprentice.

But none of Rito's apprentices should be weak, so at that time Keisha noticed Yi instead.

Rito's attitude towards this apprentice is ambivalent, simply put, it is a love-hate relationship. This once made Keisha wonder if this Yi would be Rito and the woman's child.

Fortunately, Rito personally denied this speculation before he died.

And now that he is the heir of the Infinite Sword Dao, he can explain Rito's ambivalent attitude towards him at the beginning, although he is already a strong man at this time, he is no longer worthy of Keisha's fear.

The power of the Infinite Kendo exists only in legends, and it has been conquered by Rito. And that woman that Rito can't conquer, she's so powerful that Keisha can't fathom.

"The Southern Coalition was met with elite resistance from the Imperial Army, and was unable to reach Presidium on time. At the same time, a large number of mercenaries appeared throughout the southern region, and it was already possible to conclude that Zaun had joined the war. ”

Keisha pondered the contents of the information, while Zelos and Yi walked out of the temple in silence.

Zelos walked in front and said coldly, "You're back." ”

Yi smiled at the back: "I just arrived here, and I didn't have time to say hello to you." ”

"Say hello, say hello with your sword?" Zelos sneered, he didn't expect Yi to start disguising himself. Before, although he came to seek revenge, at least he was above board, but now he has become insidious. Is this the power of hatred?

Yi obviously didn't want to answer the question, and it seemed to Zelos that he was weak-hearted.

"Didn't you come back a long time ago?" Zelos turned to look at Yi and exposed his "lies", "When are you going to do it, I will be there whenever you want, but before I fall, you must not disturb Irelia, let alone do it to some innocent people." ”

Yi didn't understand this sentence too much, and his anger made him immediately retort: "Innocent, do you still think you are innocent?" I promise you four years, and there won't be one more day or one less day. Of course, if guilt keeps you up at night, you can always bring the appointment forward. ”

"Guilt? Hehe, a person who kills innocents indiscriminately also deserves to be guilty? Zeroth's face was full of mockery, but his angry expression made him feel that the other party was not pretending.

Could it really be that it was easy to kill the Great Elder?

Can I trust him, trust an enemy?

Zelos hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "The practice of kendo does not stop at the sword, but begins with the heart. I hope that in the future, you will abide by the agreement you have made, and do not act in a way that insults the prestige of Wuji Kendo. I'm going to be away from Presidium for a while, and I ask you to stay away from Irelia until I return. ”

"Okay." Yi only said one word, but it weighed more than a thousand catties.

But Zelos still didn't believe it, and said, "You need to swear." ”

"I swear with my life that I will never break my promise."

"That's not enough."

"I swear in the name of Wuji Yi and the successor of Wuji Sword Dao ......"

"No, that's not enough."

Yi suddenly smiled, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, then let the end of this hatred be the way it started." I swear in my mother's name that Rito gave her four years, and now I will not break that promise. ”

Mother, Yi's mother?

Zelos immediately grasped the key, feeling that the mystery in his heart had finally found a key.

That night, Zelos entered the Sword Pavilion, a forbidden place for the family that only inheritors could enter.

But he had a gut feeling that he had to come in and couldn't wait any longer.

He was leaving Presidium, but Yi's arrival reassured him of his sister Irelia. If he didn't find the source of his hatred, he would never be able to trust the other party's oath.

Ignoring the treasured sword books and weapons, Zelos found a secret room and opened it with an inexplicable instinct.

The light automatically lit up, and there was a magic array inside, and he sensed his father's breath.

Yes, my father actually spent a lot of soul power to leave a spiritual circle here.

How so? My father died of a stubborn illness, how could he still have such a strong power. If this is the case, how could a martial arts powerhouse in his prime die of a mere illness.

Zeloth walked into the circle with doubts, and the soul imprint left by his father poured into the spiritual sea, and he was walking into an ancient story.
