Chapter 264: Descendant of the Five Kings, King Arthur the Lionheart (2)
Undercover!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's mind was shocked.
In retrospect, when he first met Arthur in Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng deliberately questioned Arthur if he was willing to surrender to him. The main question he wanted to ask at that time was actually Arthur's courage and boldness, whether he could maintain his posture of neither humility nor arrogance under the pressure of his emperor, and Arthur's answer was also very satisfactory to him.
Arthur said without hesitation: "I only surrender to my mission, and my mission at this moment is to become a member of His Majesty's warlords!" ”
Ying Zheng saw Arthur's bravery, but at the same time he was careless.
Now that I think about it, Arthur's answer is really a very clever sentence - he only surrenders to his mission, so what is his mission? His mission at this time is to become one of his own generals, so what is his mission after all?
So is the truth that Arthur came from the beginning with some kind of mission against him!
But none of them noticed that none of them, including Ying Zheng himself, could see through this brave and faithful man.
Therefore, at the last moment of overriding the overall situation, Arthur opened the heaviest hole card in front of him - but Yingzheng will not admit defeat, and he is far from losing!
Even if Arthur's appearance and strength exceeded his expectations, the situation of this war is still firmly in his hands!
Don't forget, he's now an emperor who has fused with the candle dragon, an elemental life beyond all beings! Even if Arthur really had more power than other strong people, it would not be able to have any effect on him if he was limited to attacks at the general level.
"Even if I calculate it for so long, what if I do it? Arthur, no matter how strong you are, you are no match for me, and you cannot threaten my final victory! Ying Zheng said through gritted teeth in his heart. Even though his shame had turned into anger, he was still confident in his situation, and with this vast divine power, he would not lose no matter what.
As a result, the golden red body of the kilometer shook in an instant, and Ying Zheng controlled all the power of the candle dragon in the air. The massive golden-red element spread outward, dyeing almost the entire night sky red with an overwhelming trend. And the huge lotus flower of the eighteen swaying canopies rose upwards from all parts of the candle dragon's body, pointing the heart of the flame condensed flower to the lion totem that emerged on the earth.
In the following moment, the dragon's bright pupils shone brightly, and the candle dragon opened its huge mouth and raised its head to let out a vast long chant that shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Qianjiangling to tremble under his imperial pressure.
But it was also at this time that on the earth, in the Holy Golden Circle with a diameter of one hundred and eight meters, the entire lion totem was also released to the limit.
The power imprisoned in the abyss of time began to awaken, and countless cracks suddenly cracked in the deep black earth. The breath of the earth surged, and the same holy golden light emanated from the cracks that continued to fission, echoing with the lion totem on the ground.
The weight that came out of thin air fell on Arthur's shoulder, but it couldn't force him to fall. The solid armor of his body was torn by the heavy force, and the steel fell downward like broken earth, but Arthur clenched the sword in his right hand and the shield in his left hand, and his strong backbone did not waver in the slightest.
But the sword and shield were also crumbling, and the heavy metallic paint on the surface began to decay and wither rapidly, and the gold, which was truly imprinted with glory and mission, showed its luster in the withered dust.
That is the true Sword of Oath and Shield of Oath, an artifact sealed at the end of history.
Thousands of holy golden rays of light surrounded Arthur's body, except for the sword and shield in his hand, the armor and clothes of his body were completely torn. But the light was along his body, condensing and forging a new armor, a new holy golden knight's armor!
The majestic and silent lion's head is fixed in the center of his chest, symbolizing a thousand years of vows and waiting. Arthur bowed his head slightly, letting the last of the light fall above him, condensing into the weight of a crown.
When he raised his head again, he raised the light in his eyes that his mission must be accomplished, and he also raised the thousand-year-old immortal glory above his head.
He stood in the cracked gray earth, in the center of the holy golden totem, facing the night sky, a golden-red beast reborn after a thousand years. He raised the true sword of oath and shield of oath, and let out the roar of oath, just like history, looking back at the present.
"The day the sword is reforged, the knight returns!"
"—Lionheart, here!"
The sound echoed throughout the void, trembling with the sound of the wind and the night and the golden red, and the candle dragon fought against the heaven and earth within the Qianjiang Mountains, not giving a single bit.
A few hundred meters away, Bian Que, who had seen this scene with his own eyes, had already changed his entire face.
His body, which had no internal organs, was still lying on Ershen's back like a dead corpse, and the magic dragon crystal held in his right hand was still emitting black light, and Ergray was still tightly grasped by the ghost hand stretched out on the ground, but he wailed again and again.
And he, his face was as stiff as ice, only his mouth kept shaking, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't find anyone to say.
At this moment, except for the two ashes around him, he almost watched the magnificent and sacred scene alone.
And he understands what's going on!
"That's King Lionheart! It's the Lionheart of the Five Kings! Bian Que's heart was like a huge wave, and a pair of cold eyes couldn't stop trembling. Although today's Qin Chu catastrophe has already made him see too many unimaginable shocks, but the scene he sees at this moment is only the biggest climax tonight.
Only he knew, and only those who had studied the Ancient Demon Dao here knew what all this meant—among the twenty ancient stone tablets inherited from thousands of years ago, there was a whole stone tablet that completely recorded the forbidden art in the ancient Demon Dao, the so-called "Reincarnation Day".
At the same time, the large amount of information contained in that stone tablet also details what kind of creature the "candle dragon" summoned by the "reincarnation day" is, and at the same time, it also describes the death of the candle dragon thousands of years ago!
Just like Zhang Liang once asked Bian Que, and Bian Que also answered truthfully - more than a thousand years ago, in the years before all the history of the Three Realms, the initial death of the candle dragon was because the five kings, the five heroes with holy gold in their bodies, joined forces to block it. As a result, there was no candle dragon in the world, and a peaceful world was created for more than a thousand years.
Just looking at the narrative of the ancient magic and magic path, neither Zhang Liang nor Bian Que could understand what kind of existence the Five Kings were? What exactly does holy gold mean? Can't even guess what force those five heroes used to defeat the candle dragon?
However, under the extremely brief record of the ancient magic and magic path, the images of the five kings and their respective names are still briefly described. Among them, there is a knight's appearance, a king holding a sword and shield, his breath, his image, exactly the same as what Bian Que saw at this time.
That's Arthur, that's King Lionheart!
——In the dark nothingness, Zhang Liang sat quietly.
He lowered his head and made no sound. Yan Ling's ancient book was spread out in front of him, and he opened page 325 alone, and his own blood was still solidified on the yellowed paper.
Three feet in front of him, another person sat in the same quiet meditation.
He was dressed in a dark slate blue robe, with sleeveless arms, only wrist guards, a delicate dagger studded with gems pinned to his waist, and an ancient Persian hat on his head, with a swan feather on the brim of the hat, a symbol of nobility.
The man's costume is very peculiar, but what remains unchanged is the messy silver hair and the faint smile on the young face.
His eyes were deep and flat, looking at Zhang Liang three feet away, not in a hurry, nor impatient.
Until that moment, for no reason, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly trembled.
He woke up, slowly opened his unconscious eyes, and looked at the young man sitting three feet away from him, and the endless darkness and nothingness around him, still so strange, but his heart was not surprised.
Just like before, every time he came here.
"Long time no see." The man looked at Zhang Liang, who had just woken up and was confused, and smiled softly, "Zhang Liang." ”
“…… Long time no see. Zhang Liang subconsciously replied, but in fact, he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, and he didn't know where he was. Just after waking up from the coma, he answered the voice that greeted him very subconsciously.
It was as if he was familiar with the scene...... At least it feels familiar......
But when his vague vision gradually became clearer, and his eyes finally saw the man's face clearly, he was slightly startled.
The man in front of him turned out to be exactly the same as himself.
However, the man glanced at the shallow surprise between Zhang Liang's eyebrows, and continued to smile and say to himself.
"You haven't been here since the last time you decided on summoning. Snubbed me so much, but for the first time in more than 20 years, that woman has influenced you a lot. ”
"Have I been here before?" Listening to the man's words, Zhang Liang received a lot of information, but he couldn't distinguish his thoughts for a while, so he could only ask subconsciously.
"I can't go through these questions for you every time. And now that the situation is unique, there is no time for us to talk nonsense. The man frowned slightly, then stretched his eyebrows again, and said to Zhang Liang with a soft face.
"You don't have any memories here, so let go of all the doubts in your mind...... You can only ask me one last question now, and then we're going to get down to business. ”
"Last question......" Zhang Liang looked hesitant, and then finally asked, "What is this place?" ”
The man laughed lightly, looked into Zhang Liang's puzzled eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"The other side of the soul, the end of consciousness."
The man saw that the doubts in Zhang Liang's eyes were deepening, and they were still the same as before. But this time he didn't let Zhang Liang think about it anymore, but sighed lightly, and said directly: "Okay, let's get down to business." ”
"Blood is spitting up on the pages, and the danger you have encountered this time is unprecedented...... I've been waiting for you here for so long, but there's really nothing I can do until you're seriously injured and unconscious. After all, I can't drag you here......"
"Blood?" Zhang Liang's eyes trembled for a moment, and then followed the man's eyes to look at the ancient book of words and spirits spread out in front of him. The first thing that came to mind was the solidified red on the page.
Zhang Liang suddenly recalled everything that had happened before, as well as the serious injuries he had suffered, and the thick blood that had been vomited many times. Only then did he realize that his body was already very weak, but after subconsciously taking a deep breath, he suddenly found that his body was very stable, and he did not feel any pain or injury at all.
It was as if everything that was surging in my mind was just a dream.
"Don't doubt it, what you've experienced is true – it's just that when you're here, your consciousness and senses can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood." The man noticed the subtle change in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he didn't hesitate to speak out to solve his doubts. It seems that he is the person who knows Zhang Liang best, and he can see through Zhang Liang's mind at a glance.
"However, everything is false, and what truth and falsehood can there be in this world?" The man paused for a moment, then sighed softly.
"It's all true......" Zhang Liang's mouth groaned repeatedly, his expression became more and more excited and frightened, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Then the candle dragon-"
"Calm down." The man raised his hand and made a gentle caressing motion, interrupting Zhang Liang's surprise, and then his eyes became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look at the situation outside......
"You've been unconscious for less than ten minutes, but the situation outside has changed dramatically."
As he finished speaking, the man grabbed his backhand and pulled out the dagger pinned to his waist.
As soon as the cold light came out, the edge was revealed.
It is a dagger about seven inches long and with a single edge, with an eye-sized sapphire embedded in the pure gold handle, and the whole body is carved with a pattern that symbolizes time, and the shape is extremely exquisite.
With a wave of one hand, the man threw the delicate dagger directly into the dark void outside his body.
After flying nine meters, the sharp blade actually cut a bright gap in the void. White seeps out of it, and the gap extends outwards until it becomes a circular window nearly nine meters wide.
The figure of the dagger quietly disappeared, the white light gradually faded, and a clear and complete picture appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them.
That's the outside world, the real-time picture of Qianjiangling at this moment!
It was as if the dagger just now had been slashed in the gap between the two dimensional spaces, so the outside could be seen from the inside.
However, at this moment, Zhang Liang didn't have time to be surprised, the dagger and the mystery of this place. When he saw the real-time picture in the mysterious window, his eyes, his consciousness, were all filled with shock.
The familiar and strange warriors, the giant beast that bloomed with all its strength, the huge and magnificent lion totem, the holy gold that roamed between heaven and earth and competed with the candle dragon - the shocking and magnificent scenes were really amazing.
"Do you see clearly?" The man looked back, stared at Zhang Liang's eyes full of horror, and said softly, "That's Arthur." ”
"He's a lot stronger than you think—a very smart and calm man."
"So, that form...... What is the awakening? Zhang Liang gasped unnaturally, his voice trembled and asked slowly. He stared at Arthur, who had been rejuvenated, and his first reaction was to "wake up", but he felt that something seemed wrong.
"That's not an awakening." The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes flickered, and he said, "That's 'inheritance'." ”
"Arthur is a descendant of the Five Kings and, legendary, the heir of King Lionheart."
