Chapter 107: Becoming a King and Defeating a Queen
It is destined to be a losing war, and Yingning's last insistence is just a death struggle. But she doesn't regret it, her father gave birth to her and raised her, and the grace of birth and raising is greater than heaven. If she hadn't avenged him, her life would never have been at peace.
Ying Ning held the long sword in his hand and half-knelt on the ground. The blood on the sword's body slid to the ground dripping, fainting a circle of bright red marks. There was a ghostly corpse lying beside her, she had no strength in her body, and her hands and feet were about to soften into mud. She gasped heavily, and looked up at Shen Tu who was walking towards her, he was still light and breezy, all black, clean and not stained with a trace of dust, in stark contrast to her bloodstained, messy clothes. He didn't take her in the slightest, and looked up at her.
The hatred in Yingning's eyes spread instantly, passing through every corner of her body, and she couldn't wait to crush him to ashes. Supported by her sword, she slowly stood up, she couldn't fall in front of the god no matter what.
Shen Tu looked at her sneeringly, a mocking smile rose at the corner of his lips, and he said lightly: "Fairy Yingning, you are at the end of your rope, it is better to tie your hands and arrest it." Maybe I'll be able to leave you a whole corpse so you can die a happy death. If you are willing to ask me, it is not impossible for me to spare your life. β
Ying Ning laughed coldly, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "If you become a king or lose a villain, even if you lose, I will never beg for mercy." You don't have to bother talking anymore, if you want me to be caught, that's impossible, you don't have daydreams. β
Shen Tu smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Yingning, Yingning, I have always only felt simple-minded, but I didn't expect to be so stubborn." I think we were friends at the beginning, and there was nothing to talk about under the meditation tree, and I also gave you a witch spirit bird. Just like my father and I were brothers, we were close friends. It's a pity, now you're going to die at my hands. β
Ying Ning glared at him fiercely, the anger in her eyes burned, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, it was you, it was you who killed my father." He treats you as a friend, but you take advantage of the fact that he is fighting with the demons to plot against him behind his back. Your despicable deeds should be restrained and spurned by the world. β
"When I said I killed your father, don't talk nonsense. Could it be that because of this, you were deceived by the Night Monarch to do such a rebellious thing today? Shen Tu's innocent appearance made Ying Ning want to cut his throat fiercely.
"A shameless villain like you, if you dare to do it, you deserve to sit in the position of Hades. Even if I die today, I will strip you of your skin, so that the world can see how black-hearted you are under this skin. Ying Ning raised the sword in her hand and slashed at Shen Di, but before she could touch him, she was struck by him several meters away.
Ying Ning fell to the ground hard, snorted, and spat out a mouthful of blood. She clutched her chest in extreme pain, her eyes closed tightly, and her face was pained. She has no power to fight back, she is powerless, rather than being humiliated and abused by the gods, it is better to end herself by herself. She opened her eyes, her eyes determined, and she pulled the Soul Eater Knife from her bosom. The Xuannu gave her a talisman at that time, so let it escort her out safely now.
Wu Qi, who was restrained by the gods in the distance, probably knew her thoughts, and shouted at her loudly: "Yingning, don't! β
Ying Ning pulled out the blade, still cold, as if she had first gotten it. She hesitated for a moment, and without hesitation, the hand holding the knife stabbed straight into the chest. A gust of palm wind struck, Yingning's wrist hurt, and the Soul Eater Knife fell to the ground with a clatter.
It turned out that I broke free from the shackles and used my spiritual power to stop her from committing suicide. But she won't be grateful to him, she hates me at the moment, no less than she hates God. If he had stood by her side, she would not have been in such a situation. He captured his own generals with his own hands, so that she was isolated at the moment, and she could only rely on her own weak strength to earn a little life, and this chance was extremely slim, better than nothing.
Wu Qi stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly in front of her, and Ying Ning was bound firmly by the soul chain. She struggled, but the rope grew tighter and tighter. Yingning yelled at Wu Qi, "Let me die!! Yes!!! β
Her eyes were red, as if they were soaked in blood. I reached out to touch her face, but she bit my finger. She glared at him fiercely, using all her strength, and she even felt the flesh of his fingers staggered in her mouth, and blood ran down the corners of her mouth. I gritted my teeth and didn't say a word, what is this pain, the hatred in her eyes is what hurts him the most.
She hated him, but what could he do? She had no chance of winning in the first place, and he couldn't just watch her kill herself. It's just that he didn't know that she had such a great determination that she would rather die than let go. How could the throne of Hades be so attractive to her? She asked him to choose, and he had no way to stand by her side and win the world with her. He wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid of her death. As long as she can live well, even if she hates him, he will not hesitate to do it.
Seeing that Wu Qi was about to be bitten off by her, Shen Tu stepped forward and pinched Ying Ning's chin, she heard a click, her mandible seemed to crack, and she was in extreme pain, so she reluctantly let go.
Shen Di said to the ghost beside him: "Press Bai Yingning into the dungeon and wait for the fall of the Emperor of Heaven." Before the Emperor's will is given, no one is allowed to visit. β
The dungeon was dark and damp, and from time to time you could hear the sound of ticking water, and the musty smell of rotting made you want to vomit. The lights here are even darker, and when they are bright and off, you can't see anything clearly. Most of the prisoners are on death row, and there will always be hysteria, and there will be terrifying and piercing voices, probably because they don't want to die. In this way, it seems even more eerie.
Ying Ning was tied to a stump on the ground, this soul chain was really a good thing, she couldn't move at all. She can't survive now, she can't die.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, a ghost opened the door of her cell. A black shadow flashed in, Ying Ning raised her head slightly, and when she saw someone coming, she smiled sarcastically: "What? Is Immortal here to show me off? You win, go back to the celebration bar. To go to such a place and come to see a prisoner is really not in line with your identity. β
Shen Tu was dressed in black, and it was extremely cold in the dark night. He walked in front of her with his hands behind his back, with a sly smile on his face: "What is there to show off, everything is under my control, and there is not even a trace of accidents." I expected this to happen, so I don't feel a sense of accomplishment, and I don't need to show it off to you. β
Ying Ning lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she asked in a low voice, "I don't understand, how did you know that I was going to take my place?" I didn't show any signs to myself, I'm dying, you might as well tell me to die. β
Shen Tu smiled and said, "Do you think I'm going to give you a bird for nothing?" We never had a good relationship, and I was never a gentle and good person. β
Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "It's Ling'er, I see." I treated him so well and kept him like a baby, but I didn't expect him to betray me. It's ridiculous, it's ironic. I'm really stupid, I keep such a thing by my side, and I don't even know that I was bitten to death by him. β
"He is responsible for your every move, and whatever you do, he will report it to me. I know what you eat all day, when you go to bed, when you wake up. A smug look appeared on Shen Tu's face.
"As for the Night King, the first time I saw him, I suspected that he was the son of the Demon King back then. After many investigations, I quickly figured out his true identity, and it was indeed the remnant of the demon clan. So if you collude with him, I know you must be plotting something. I've been on guard against you early on, so naturally I won't lose. β
"You have been approaching me on purpose since you started under the pseudonym Ah Cha. You are afraid that I will know that you are the enemy who killed your father, and one day I will seek revenge on you. Take precautions, I come from the underworld, you are ready to calculate me, hehe, your mind is really as deep as the sea, I am really willing to bow down. Ying Ning said coldly.
Shen sighed and shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with her words. He said slowly: "When I first met you, you were innocent, and I did like you a little. It's just that there can be no friendship between you and me. In the underworld, there is you without me, and there is me without you. All I can say is that you shouldn't be a child of Qi Wuxian. As long as you live, sooner or later someone will help you to ascend to the throne by justifying the reason. I've worked so hard to run the underworld all these years, how can I easily give it to you? Bai Yingning, you shouldn't have lived. Or, you should stay in the heavenly realm honestly and be a free-spirited immortal. β
Ying Ning looked at him and sneered: "Shendi, in order to secure the position of the Hades King, you really took great pains. Death is death, and I am ashamed of myself for plotting with you. β
"No, Yingning, you are not a good person, in order to conquer the underworld, didn't you even practice the demon clan's demon arts? It's just that your cultivation time is too short, and your own spiritual power is not high, so you won't be my opponent at all. But if the Night King is here, I don't have much chance of winning. It's a pity, I told the Emperor of Heaven about this a long time ago, and he was captured by the Emperor before he left the school. β
"And you, I don't care about it at all. You don't know what I am looking for, what you are not sure of, how can he let you take risks? So I didn't have much effort, and he took care of everything for me. However, he is still too indecisive to persuade you to stop, he really doesn't know the origin of the relationship between you and me. "The truth is hard to accept, all the things that Shen Tu said, just because there is no one to be trusted by her side, not even my expectations.
Yingning was unladylike and completely betrayed by the people around her, she had nothing to say at this time. Her heart was like ashes, and she said, "You can be regarded as admitting that my father was killed by your own hands?" β
Shen Tu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, slowly approached Yingning, looked at her calmly, and said softly in her ear: "Didn't you already convict me?" Why bother. What if I killed it, and what if I didn't kill it? The Emperor of Heaven has never said anything, and you are here to set things right, aren't you slapping the Emperor in the face? β
After a while, Shen Tu said again: "Yingning, not everything must be distinguished from black and white. I will govern this underworld in an orderly manner, everything will be smooth and peaceful, who cares how I ascended to the throne back then, and who cares how Qi Wuxian died. There are too many things in this world, don't ask about the process, just look at the result. You are still too naΓ―ve, right and wrong are black and white, and the definition is always vague. If you have to figure it out, you're only hurting yourself. β
Ying Ning closed her eyes, and the unwillingness she had never felt before spread to her heart. She can't take revenge in this life, and according to her divine temperament, she probably won't have an afterlife. It's better to be wiped out than to live in such pain.
Shen Tu looked at her appearance, and his heart was relieved, everything was finally coming to an end, and it was not in vain that he had worked so hard to plan. He said faintly: "The will of the Heavenly Emperor will come down soon, and it will not make you wait too long." β
