Chapter 201: The Divine Dependence VS the Laws of Nature
"Now, Ichi. Are you listening? β
When Iki came back to her senses, she found that the familiar face was very close, almost close to herself, and the cherry lips were only a little distance away from herself, and she could even clearly feel the warm air flow on her cheeks as the other person breathed.
The other party was her sister she knew bestβso familiar that she remembered what her height and measurements wereβand now her face was pressed against her, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
They are so familiar, so familiar that even if they make such an intimate and ambiguous gesture, they will not be embarrassed in the slightest.
Yi Ji quietly pressed Feng Ji's forehead, and directly pressed her back to her seat before shaking her head, "I'm listening." What happened to the railgun? β
Feng Ji didn't care about Yi Ji's obviously rude movements, but said angrily: "I also said that you are listening, that topic has long passed, and now I am talking about the maintenance of equipment!" This can't be done, oh Yiji, I usually criticize me in a daze, but now you are in a daze and you are still doing this to your sister. β
Finally, she finally caught her meticulous sister making a mistake, and of course she had to teach her a good lesson. Although she doesn't usually care much, how can she say that she is also a sister, how can she always let her sister teach herself? I should have taught her a lesson. And it's not always happens. She would love to see the guilty look on Ikki's body.
Yi Ji has no idea what her sister is thinking in her heart, and if she knew, she wouldn't give her a good face. But she only saw Feng Ji's dissatisfaction on her face, so she had to apologize honestly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted." She was also wondering why she was wandering. It seemed that at that moment I felt that something was locking on me.
It should be just an illusion, right?
Feng Ji nodded with satisfaction and stopped pursuing it. Going on would only be counterproductive, so she was already satisfied. Usually she was trained by Yi Ji, but today I finally found an opportunity for her to vent well. If it weren't for the bad time now, she would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.
Compared with Yiji, who is a bit rigid in doing things, the more casual Toyohime has a much higher chance of making mistakes than Yiji. In addition, she is basically the one with the highest power in the entire moon, and the only one who can teach her a lesson is her sister who is at the same level as her.
So let's get back to business. Because of the opponent's offensive, in addition to the rabbits, there were also considerable losses in equipment. Many armor and weapons are almost scrapped after being hit once, and repairs are not a small hassle. With our current reserves, we will only last for a week at most. Speaking of this, Feng Ji couldn't help but show a little helplessness on her face.
Iki asked in surprise, "A week?" Impossible, right? We can't have a little bit of our military reserves. Even with extremely high battle losses, it should be enough to last from half a year to a year. β
"Have you forgotten?" Feng Ji said with a blank face, "Ten years ago, they had already cut most of their military spending on the grounds of 'waste' and 'no military action'. Although the rabbits are already doing their best to maintain it, it will inevitably be a little old. And for the sake of daily expenses, we destroyed a considerable part of military equipment. It's too late to make it now, because there aren't many military factories left. β
"They should have all been killed at that time." Yi Ji couldn't help but snort coldly.
"We are only qualified to exile them, and not until there is conclusive evidence that they have broken the law. We must also obey the law, after all, it was 'the One' who appointed it. It's a pity......" Feng Ji lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes.
Yi Ji directly interrupted her sister's words, and said with a somewhat bad face: "Die that heart, that's impossible." That sinner will never return to the Moon City for the rest of his life, unless I die. Moreover, if it weren't for the stall she left behind, we wouldn't be in such trouble. Sister, don't you think the same way? β
"yes." Feng Ji opened her eyes and said with a smile, "After all, that person not only integrated that group of politicians, but also kidnapped our favorite teacher." I'm in a hurry, take your time. They didn't bounce for long. β
Iki bit her lower lip, her face a little pale. clenched his fists, but in the end, he could only let go of his hand weakly, and said, "It was my problem at the beginning, and I shouldn't have forcibly pulled you out of there, sister." If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be ...... to the finance side now."
"Alright Ichi, that's the end of it. We've talked about everything, okay? Toyohime shook her head, her eyes filled with only calm. She doesn't regret what she's done, no one can force her to do anything, so everything is a decision she makes. She won't regret her decision. How is that different from denying one's past?
"Yes." Iki nodded and bowed her head. As soon as he looked down, he saw the long sword at his waist. She never left the sword, because it was the first gift her teacher gave her. Even if seeing it will only leave her pain to herself, she will not let it go. It is also looking at it that I can sharpen myself year after year.
Iki always felt that the person left her because she was still too weak. When she's old enough to be on her own, that person will come back. She's always believed in it. But now seeing such a chaotic Moon Capital, she couldn't help but be suspicious. Have you really made progress?
"What did the council say?" Feng Ji quickly adjusted her mindset and returned her mind to the question she had just asked.
After the parliamentary council was integrated and had a clear system, they could no longer intervene. Although they still have the absolute right to speak in some matters, they are subject to a lot of restrictions in many aspects. As a result, the military and the government have now been completely separated from the finances. Regardless of the era, a politician is definitely the most disgusting kind of person for an officer, and there is no one.
Fortunately, most of their military expenses are self-sufficient, and only a small part is paid by the other party, even if the other party keeps getting stuck with themselves, they can still get it in the end. But now that the war begins, the drawbacks of this system become apparent. The other party is stuck with his own funds almost all the way, and he has been stuck with himself since the most basic meeting, and all kinds of excuses have been put out.
Quite simply, dignitive? No. Want money? I'm sorry, I'm financially tight, so let's wait a few years. Nervous, nervous over the war? Joke. I'm afraid that the idiots still can't recognize the current situation, and think that she is deliberately exaggerating to cheat money. But I'm already trying not to stimulate the nerves of those people. Years of being on top have made them forget the horrors of war, and they have also made them despise the group of youkai.
If they continue to fight, they may not necessarily lose, but they will definitely lose a lot in the end. Once the reserves are depleted, they can only engage in close combat. The loss of the rabbits will definitely make them feel distressed. Now Feng Ji is thinking about whether to let a few of them in and do that group of idiots directly.
Yi Ji's face was not much better, and the mood that had been forcibly recovered sank again, shaking her head and saying nothing, her face was pale.
Feng Ji sighed and said leisurely: "Yes, it seems that I can only make a move." β
"I'll do it." Yi Ji took the initiative.
Feng Ji glanced at Yi Ji, who volunteered, nodded and said, "I'll drag you over there." Actually, I'll be better. β
Yi Ji shook her head and said, "Let's not mention that those monsters will die if they don't get the moon." And the energy on their bodies is too weird, I'm afraid that your ability won't have much room to play, sister. And you haven't had a large-scale spatial connection for a long time, so it's troublesome to overload. β
Feng Ji thought about it, and finally hugged her sister with a smile, rubbed her face on Yi Ji's face a few times and said, "It's worthy of being my good sister, I'm worried about my sister at this time." Well, who made me a 'weak woman', I had to retreat into the background. β
"Sister!" Iki was dissatisfied, but she didn't break free. She knew that they both needed a little room to vent.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, as if someone outside the door had something important. Feng Ji quickly let go of her sister and tidied up her dress before she said leisurely, "Come in." β
A rabbit panted and opened the door, hurried to the two and said, "Oh no! Ihime-sama, Toyohime-sama. There are two youkai out there! β
Yi Ji was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but look at her sister. Feng Ji first closed her eyes, then frowned, and said, "That special person is close here, and my connection can't be opened." How many people are there on the other side? The last sentence was addressed to the rabbit.
"Two." The rabbit quickly replied, "What are we going to do?" That woman was so scary that we didn't dare to go up just by glaring at her. β
"Let them all disperse, that's not something you can deal with." Feng Ji shook her head slightly.
"Yes." The rabbit quickly took the order and ran out, completely forgetting to ask what to do.
After the rabbit left, Feng Ji turned to Yi Ji and said, "The other party should be coming for us, and the area that can't be opened is moving this way." β
"What are they doing here? We have lifted restrictions on them. Iki frowned.
Feng Ji shook her head and smiled, "I don't know either." But once you see it, let's go. It's up to you to protect me. After saying that, she didn't know where to find a folding fan to cover her mouth and laughed.
Yiji also ignored her sister's jokes, touched the hairband on her head to make sure it was tightly fastened before walking out, and Toyohime followed behind her.
Not far from the door, Iki stopped in her footsteps, turned in one direction with understanding, rested her right hand on the hilt of her sword, and stared intently in one direction. She remembered why she was stunned, and it was at that moment that she felt this breath that made her heart tremble.
There is no doubt that it is a strong man who comes.
Standing behind her, Toyohime blinked suspiciously. If her feelings were correct, it should have been the green-haired flower demon and the strange man. However, she remembered very well that the last time she saw it, the aura of that flower demon was definitely not as exaggerated as it is now.
But neither she nor Xie Xie knew that Youxiang was no longer the original Youxiang. To put it simply, she got stronger.
There are many factors that can determine a law-level combat effectiveness, in addition to a bunch of messy things such as energy system, law ability, and combat means, there is actually a more important factor - mind. It's a wonderful thing, and no one knows how to improve it, but there's no denying that it exists. The self-confidence that bursts out of a strong mind can allow the law level to break one part of energy into two, or even four parts.
It's the same as a lion with a sheep's heart can't beat a sheep with a lion's heart. The difference in hard power between law level and law level will not exceed three times, but sometimes, it is possible that five law levels cannot beat one.
After Yuka figured out what it was all she could face and then made a decision, her heart changed. She admits that she is no longer strong. But it was this mentality that made her recognize the direction. She was no longer the strongest, but she knew that she could get stronger. This makes her happy and looking forward to the opponent she will face. She can get stronger, that's what drives her. She also believes that she can get stronger.
So when Yuka saw the wary Yiji, she finally couldn't help but laugh with relief, put away the parasol in her hand and threw it back, licked her somewhat dry lips and said, "Help me keep it, don't lose it." β
Almost as soon as she saw Yiji, her perception told her that she couldn't win. This made her even more excited, and she almost couldn't help but want to fight right away. She's Yuka, the one known as the "Tyrant of Flowers".
If I can defeat her, I'll be one step closer to "that". She couldn't help but think so.
"Youkai, whatever you're here for, leave now." Yi Ji said with a cold face, but there was not much disgust. She, like her sister, doesn't actually have much ill feeling for the monsters on the ground. But if that group of people sees a youkai here, it's a big problem. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at her sister.
It's okay to fight, but definitely not here.
Feng Ji nodded, looked at Xie Xie who was standing behind Yuxiang, raised a finger and shook it slightly.
Xie Xie tilted his head and thought about it, nodded knowingly, and let Ai remove the space around him to stabilize his position. He let Ai turn on this in order not to be peeping at Purple, but at the same time, he also seems to have banned Feng Ji's ability. Although he didn't know why these two people wanted to change venues, he wouldn't refuse. No matter how you say it, the behavior of brushing up on good feelings has become a habit for him.
But Yuka obviously didn't think about it so much, and a smile rolled up at the corner of her mouth: "What if I say no?" β
"Then I'll have to ask you to leave." Yi Ji said in a deep voice, slowly pulling out the sword at his waist, and at the same time turning the sword body slightly.
In the daylight, the sword suddenly flashed with an extremely dazzling light, which made Yuxiang couldn't help but squint slightly, and said silently in her heart: "Do you want to sneak attack?" β
For a sword expert like Ichi, adjusting the blade to reflect sunlight or something is already too proficient. It's not that she's practiced it specifically, but she's familiar with the sword, and she almost knows where to reflect the light from what angle. Moreover, her purpose was not to sneak attack. She didn't bother to do that kind of thing.
Toyohime crouched down in understanding, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the ground, opening up the spatial connection. There is a disadvantage to her ability, even if the ability to link opens the spatial crack all over the opponent's body, but if the opponent is motionless, her ability will not work against the opponent, even if the crack is opened on the ground, as long as the opponent forcibly stays in the air, it will not work.
But just now, because of that flash, Yuxiang still subconsciously moved her steps to meet the impact of the other party. But she focused on Ika and didn't notice Toyohime's small movements, coupled with the movement of her steps, which allowed her to successfully fall into the spatial rift. By the time I reacted to what had happened, the scene around me had changed.
It is a sprawling basement surrounded by mechanically textured walls.
"This is our weapons testing ground, and it's soundproof and hit-resistant, at least it would take me five strokes to penetrate the walls here. So let's fight here with the two of us. Iki explained. She doesn't want to take advantage of the other party, and it's not good to let the other party misunderstand.
Yuka laughed nonchalantly, as arrogant as ever, even with a hint of excitement that could not be concealed, and said, "You will lose." β
"Then we'll have to give it a try." Yi Ji snorted coldly, took a step forward, and suddenly a momentum that was almost condensed into substance poured out of her body, and even pressed the steel plate under her feet, making it sink a little. A phantom figure appeared behind her, blurring her facial features, only the muscles and the knife-like face.
She took a deep breath and said in a clear voice, but there was a bit of a mosaic murmur in her words: "The gods rely on the one style of the gods." The phantom behind him suddenly opened his mouth wide, roared, and gradually became clear. It was a man, with a hideous, serious face, and a pair of eyes staring coldly at Yuxiang, like a god glaring at a blasphemous.
"Interesting." Youxiang twitched lightly in the void in front of him, and a green light flashed in his hand, and the demonic power that turned into substance condensed into the appearance of a sword. It did not condense into an entity, it still maintained its most primitive appearance, and I could only barely see the appearance of the sword, the whole body was green, and the space began to be filled with the breath of life.
This is a move she has just comprehended, directly using demonic power to condense the entity, and the strength is definitely no worse than that of ordinary divine weapons, and it will even carry the characteristics of her own demonic power. As long as you hold this sword, your recovery power can be greatly improved. And she suddenly found that her own law could have more room for improvement. This discovery made her ecstatic, and it was the reason why she wanted to fight to the fullest. Only fighting, even fighting to the death, is the best way to progress, and the only way to test the strength of this ability.
She's not the strongest, but she can get stronger until she becomes the strongest.
For this reason, she is willing and hopes to be able to climb up by stepping on countless dry bones.
Because the scenery from the top of the mountain must be the most beautiful.
