072 Demon Heart (5)
"Who's there!?"
Behind Fei Fei stood a man dressed in a long light gray cloak like a hermit, her face buried in the shadows, and she looked like a forest keeper who lived here all year round. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Stop, okay......"
"Scared?! Who are you? I can't feel that you have a demonic spirit, so you can't be a companion? Everyman? ”
The man didn't answer, just remained silent.
"Hey, it's not a good time, I hate being hindered when I'm having fun!"
"Let's go!"
Liu Mei'er shouted: "She will kill you together!" This guy is not normal! Whether it is an ordinary person or a demon, she will not hesitate to kill! Hurry up and get out! ”
"Really......"
"What are you talking about...... Fei Fei slashed over, but was bounced away by some force, "Huh? You...... What did you just do? Yikes...... What the?! Why? ”
Fei Fei's swirl slashed through again and again, but it didn't hurt the man in the slightest, she was like surrounded by an invisible wall.
"What the hell is going on?! What blocked my sword?! ”
"Your swordsmanship is unique...... But...... In front of a sword that moves at high speed countless times, it's all meaningless......"
Fei Fei's body was cut with countless wounds, and she couldn't even see the person's movements, just plain, as if torn by the air, Fei Fei fell in a pool of blood.
"For, why...... A sword that can't even be seen with a white blade......"
"No!"
Blood light appeared, like red smoke, and Fei Fei disappeared in front of her......
……
The sun shone on her face, and Liu Mei'er opened her eyes, and the tiny particles floating in the air slid in front of her eyes at an extremely slow but dexterous speed.
"This is ......"
Fifi!
Thinking back to the fierce battle in the forest that day, the wounds all over the body began to ache.
"It hurts!"
The pain of the severed left wrist was severe, and the neurite that connected to the fingertip throbbed.
Liu Mei'er stared in disbelief at her severed left hand, which was intact attached to her body.
"Hand ......"
"You took it back with your own power and then lost consciousness. Unleashing your demonic power to the limit when you are not used to connecting your limbs, and being tortured to the point of serious injury, your physical strength has long been overdrawn, but it is worth mentioning that you can maintain your will to pick up your hands......"
"Who are you?"
“……”
"What kind of place is this?! How many days have passed? How could you...... How did it end up here? ”
Aoki threw the food in his hand to Liu Mei'er.
"Eat these things first, even if you are a half-demon, you can't hold it without eating or drinking for a week after the fierce battle."
“…… One week? ...... I slept for a week? ”
Seeing Liu Meier jump out of bed, Aoki pressed her back with one hand.
"What do you want?"
"I have to go back, and if I don't, the organization will take action...... Aoki! Let go! ”
"Then if you don't want to die, I can help you directly."
"Woo......"
"Listen to me! The woman who chased you is still alive, and although I have beaten her to the point where she is more injured than you and cannot move for a short time, she is not dead! And most importantly, you haven't recovered yet...... Now you, even an ordinary demon can't be defeated! Think about your situation! ”
“………… Damn it...... Damn it...... Damn it! ”
With one hand, he swung the magic sword, and the trees in front of him, which were twice as thick as ordinary people's torsos, broke into countless pieces. Even she had forgotten the time she had spent hiding in this forest, and gradually, the place where she lived had become an open field.
“…… Have you finished eating? ”
Without looking back, Aoki noticed that Liu Meier was standing behind her.
"Yes, when I put the food in my mouth, I realized how hungry and thirsty I am, thank you for helping."
“…… Why...... Why did you become the way you are...... ...... like this"
"It's getting stronger...... Is that right? A lot has happened since we separated, and the cowardly Aoki you saw was like that because I just came here......"
"Who the hell are you?"
"By the way, she said, maybe you have forgotten, my name is Mu Qingyang......"
Mu Qingyang, a very familiar name!
The person in the dream seems to be called this name, and every time he thinks of this dream, he is almost a wound on Liu Meier's chest that can never be touched, although in the dream, there are also some happy fragments......
And if that's all true?
"What, do you think of anything?"
Liu Meier's chest seemed to be bound, painful, and depressed, and there was a broken heart.
"Unexpected...... You survived and became a half-human, half-demon warrior...... Now that you have survived, you should forget everything and live in a new identity after accepting reincarnation. Why fight again? Give it up...... The power of the Demon King was too strong, and among the so-called half-demon warriors, no one could kill her at all. What's more, you're not even half-human, half-demon now...... It's just a mess of life, and the strength and speed are lower than your previous level, look ......"
Mu Qingyang took off his robe outside, and under the light gray cloak, his body was densely covered with scales and scars.
"I fought against those evils, and I never looked back, this reminds me that no matter how desperately I struggle, I can't overcome the arrangement of fate."
He trembled as he clutched a small vial containing only half a blue potion in his hand.
"Let's go back...... It is a miracle to survive at the hands of those evil forces...... I only think I'm dead now, in this strange and chaotic place, desperately suppressing the demonic aura, and living like an idiot. It's a pity that I still haven't forgotten you, and the impact on me at that time was too great...... Although I forcibly erased my memory, my body still remembers the fear of that time. ”
"Nope! You just said that I should forget everything and live in a new identity...... But I simply can't do it, and for me, fighting is everything. I once lost my life, my words, my joy of being alive, and it was the battle that made me feel that I still existed...... So I can only move forward, I can't forget everything, just live like that with a new identity. ”
“…… Is it...... Is that so...... Maybe I'm doing it too much......" Throwing the magic sword thrown in the woodstack of the wooden house to Liu Mei'er, Mu Qingyang said, "I'll teach you something...... Actually, this one is very simple. ”
……
Liu Mei'er released all the demonic power and condensed it on one arm, which was an even more difficult technique than she imagined. The mental power consumed to maintain the limit state made Liu Mei'er feel very tired.
"It seems to fit quite well," washed off the sludge, Liu Mei'er was wearing the clothes Mu Qingyang found from the village, this was a samurai uniform, which made her look heroic. "Sit down, even if you don't have the appetite, you have to eat these."
Biting the strange fruit that she didn't know where Mu Qingyang got it, Liu Mei'er looked at Mu Qingyang's face red by the bonfire.
"You haven't changed...... Like I just met you......"
"You know, although I'm almost a demon now, I'm afraid I'll be like this until I die...... If you still remember a long time ago, you know that I've always been like this. You...... Remember those days......"
The pain hidden deep in her heart, Liu Meier was unwilling to face it most of the time.
"I can see that you haven't completely forgotten...... Like me, I'm just lying to myself! ”
For many years, Liu Meier tried her best not to recall those moments, and when she decided to drink the bowl that Meng Po gave her, she had already decided that no matter how painful it was, she could not repeat the mistakes of the past.
But this is the first time in a long time that Liu Meier has shed tears. It was because of the memory that she recovered because of her encounter with Mu Qingyang, she didn't feel happy because of it, she never got that feeling, but she didn't resent losing her life because of it.
"Live."
Mu Qingyang raised his head and looked at the obscure sky, he had lost too many people, "Only if you continue to live is the only proof that you have ever existed." ”
A sudden twitch in the right arm.
Liu Mei'er stroked her wrist, this was the farewell gift she got from Mu Qingyang.
"You're finally able to fully control your limits, don't forget that feeling."
With all her strength, Liu Meier couldn't force Mu Qingyang to a state of disordered breath, this is the gap between the two.
"Can you tell me how close my swordsmanship is to yours?"
"The most important thing to use a sword is strong mental power, so keeping calm at all times is the most important thing, I thought you could keep your mind calm so I taught you this swordsmanship...... But I was wrong, and although it seems to be true, you are a person who always has a fire in his heart. You're too emotional, that is...... You have no future in this swordsmanship. ”
"Woo......"
This sword is Liu Meier's only support. She is unwilling, no matter how hard she tries now, she can't reach Mu Qingyang's level.
“…… As far as you're concerned, that's pretty good. Get up. ”
The moment Liu Mei'er got up, Mu Qingyang cut off her remaining right arm from her shoulder.
"Ah.................. You, what are you doing?! Mu Qingyang! ”
A right hand was pressed up, and soon the powerful healing power of her body accepted the new limb.
"Because your wound has healed, I'm sorry, I can only create a new one. This is the arm of the half-demon, identify the gift, take it. ”
"You, what are you talking about?! It's too messy! It's not going to work...... No! ”
"Liu Mei'er, although there is no change even if you use its continuous power, but if you use it, you can at least make your attack power and speed half that of mine, for you now...... It's a necessity. ”
"However, Mu Qingyang ......"
"Enough! Listen to me. When I saw you in the village at that time, my heart could no longer be at peace, and I will leave after this time, only then can I rest assured, I said, just so that you can survive...... So, don't say no again! ”
"I ...... When it's all over, I'll go look for you, so you must wait for me! ”
“…… Next, I'll be waiting for you on it, don't worry, we'll meet again. ”
Mu Qingyang smiled and walked into the depths of the dense forest step by step......
After that, Liu Mei'er attached her arms to her body and left the hut deep in the forest, but she was uneasy by the pain that had just passed.
"Just now...... Right hand ......"
Liu Mei'er turned back the way she came, but almost at the same time, the feeling that something huge was approaching her stronger than the uneasiness coming from her right hand made her feel even more frightened.
"What ......? What's the huge stuff......"
"Oh, yes, hello, what about the adventure, you will meet in such a place, hey, your right hand ......"
"Fei Fei......?!"
"You hate it, you forget about people after only a while? It's annoying...... I'm so sad...... You're such a heartless person......"
"You...... You...... Hearteater! ”
"Huh? What the? Where is the Mind Eater? Fei Fei searched everywhere but found no sign of the Mind Eater, "What...... There are no miles at all...... Don't talk nonsense. Don't talk about this, do you have food on you? I'm hungry............ I want meat if I can...... Preferably...... Soft and fresh. That's right, it's offal or something, right? No, no, don't get me wrong, it's not about human entrails...... I'm not a heart eater, but I always feel ...... The closer you get to humans, the more delicious it becomes...... Speaking of which...... You're not human..................
Fei Fei's sudden attack was blocked by Liu Mei'er's magic sword, if it weren't for the cultivation by Mu Qingyang's side these days, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy.
"Oops, oops...... Strength and speed seem to have improved? What...... Don't run away............ It doesn't matter if I just want to eat the offal. ”
"Hmm!"
Although she barely blocked Fei Fei's continuous attacks, Liu Meier was still forced to retreat again and again.
"You really ...... It's all reborn in terms of power and speed...... Did something happen? Never mind...... It doesn't matter what......"
Fei Fei bit Liu Mei'er's left arm.
"It's weird...... It's not very tasty............."
The magic sword blocked Fei Fei's head on her left arm, but Liu Mei'er was shocked by her power and fell into the lake a hundred meters away.
"It's weird...... What went wrong...... I'm sorry, but it doesn't have to be you, but somehow, I'm just very hungry...... There is absolutely no way. ”
was suppressed at the bottom of the lake, no matter how much Liu Meier struggled, she couldn't break free from Fei Fei, so she went on like this...... If it goes on like this......
"Actually, I'd love to eat the offal that is still moving, but it seems impossible to face a wild girl like you...... I had to kill you first. How sad it is that the warrior known as the half-demon drowned...... No, it's ridiculous to some extent...... What is it......?! ”
The figure reflected in the lake is not Fei Fei's familiar self.
The blade-like limbs that extend from the limbs turn into a snake-like flexible torso, and the nerves exposed to the flesh seem to be keratinized, and the skin is intricately covered with hard armor.
"What is this ......? What is it......? What is it......? Who is this guy??!! ”
Buried headlong in the lake, Liu Meier's painful expression was in front of her, the mirror of the water separating the two worlds.
"No...... No...... How can it be...... Don't laugh! Don't...... Is it ......?"
The portrait of the Mind Eater who had been scattered gradually returned to Fifi's sight as the lake calmed down.
"............ am I awake? Ahh......h Don't! I just want to take out the enemy! Revenge on the demons! Why...... Why?! Why do I have to be a monster?! It's all the monster's fault! It's all their fault......!!! ”
It only took one chance, and at the moment when Fei Fei fell into a manic mood, Liu Mei'er's sword shattered her reflection.
"What's going on...... My hand is missing...... What did you do? What have you done? All...... It's you who are bad! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, my hand wouldn't have been lost! I'm not going to be like this! ”
The sword formed an invisible wall of white blades around Liu Mei'er, slicing Fei Fei's left arm towards her.
"Who the hell are you...... What kind of person, huh? Why......? Why?! ”
"Half-demon, Liu Mei'er, I'm sorry, I'll take your soul with me."
"Ahhh............h
As a heart eater, Fei Fei, her sharp voice passed through Liu Meier's eardrum, scraping Liu Meier's auditory nerve like a blade, but she couldn't shake for a moment, the right arm that had just been connected didn't completely belong to her, and she would lose control if she wasn't careful.
Liu Mei'er's sword stopped Fei Fei from doing so, but once she crossed the line, the uncontrollable feeling from the connection instantly began to consume her body.
“………… I see, it's mine...... No wonder there is a sense of déjà vu. My right arm...... That's why you're going to be reborn in a short period of time. ”
No, it was already difficult to hold the magic sword, and Liu Meier could only breathe with difficulty, wanting to return to a state where the sword could move at high speed as much as possible in the shortest possible time.
"To completely unleash the demonic power of one hand, what you shouldn't do is to control your right arm while holding the sword tightly, right...... You're so reluctant that I can hear your breathing............ Thanks to my arm, my body is not a small burden...... How can this ......?"
Fifi retracted her head into her body and concentrated her tail through her supple and narrow body like a prey devoured by a pit viper, "I concentrated all my human part on the tip of the tail, in other words...... Here's my point. Come on, let's play a game, and if you can cut off the entire body of my Mind Eater and get here, you'll win. On the other hand, if you have exhausted your strength or awakened on the way, you have not won! This also means that you are not qualified to fight...... What do you think? Interesting, right? ”
The bone blades that remained in the torso that originally belonged to the head position were like rattlesnakes vibrating and sending out dangerous signals, rubbing against each other to make sharp sounds. The sword slashed Fei Fei's body inch by inch, but no matter how Liu Mei'er condensed her demonic power, it was still insignificant compared to the body of the monster that Fei Fei had awakened.
"You're stupid...... Originally, you just had to ignore my words and attack me directly...... Why are you so desperate...... is actually angry and self-defeating. The mood of other survivors is never considered............ Hey? Whose style is this? ”
…… Now is the time! Hurry up and run! I'll lure this guy away! Hurry up and get away now! ……
I can't remember what he looked like.
Fei Fei searched hard in her mind, not knowing if it was because she had become a heart eater and even had lost her feelings, or if he had been blurred in his memory since a long time ago, leaving only feelings of anger and sadness.
"Yike...... What a fool...... knew that it was impossible to win, but he was a hero alone. ”
Every meter closer to Fei Fei, Liu Mei'er's right arm was in severe pain, and she could only rely on her will to suppress the desire to awaken.
"I knew I couldn't win, but I still fought alone. And then died in vain, really...... Can't stand ............"
The long blade split from Fei Fei's broken body pierced Liu Mei'er's body.
"Ahhhhh......h
"Look, it's over, but that's all."
"Damn!! Move, move me............! Hurry up, hand, hand to me ............"
Can't give up.
Liu Meier secretly prayed in her heart that she must win!
“………… What the hell are you doing? If you die in vain, what will happen to the survivors! ”
As if inspired by Fei Fei's words, Liu Mei'er once again clenched the magic sword with Mu Qingyang's right arm, as long as she still had a little strength, she couldn't give up.
"What, can't you do it by working hard......
Why agitate her? Obviously she has lost her feelings as a human being, why should she help her?
Fei Fei's body was completely severed, leaving only the tail with a human appearance remaining.
"Congratulations...... You won," Fei Fei stopped Liu Mei'er's neck, "I will keep my promise and let you deal with it, I can't do anything anyway...... I really can't stand it, I really hate people like you who give up their lives casually, so put me to death. If it's not soon, I'll be resurrected again! ”
The magic sword pierced through Fei Fei's body, cutting off her mind eater's body, and at the very least, she could die as a human.
"You have to fight for me, I won't forgive you if you lose......"
Draining the last of her strength, Fei Fei fell into the red-stained waters. A second before sinking to the surface, she saw a nearly transparent blue.
Whether it was the splashing lake dripping on Fei Fei's cheeks or whether she was indeed crying, Liu Meier was not sure. However, Fei Fei's long silver-white hair spread like a sparkling wave in the lake in the forest of Lanting Town, until she sank to the bottom of the water and fell asleep peacefully......
Maybe it's fate?
Liu Mei'er looked at it blankly, and she was stupid for a while......
Looking at the woman by the lake and subconsciously shaking her head, Mu Qingyang suddenly remembered a memory that made him even more unforgettable.
Meng Po beside her was now completely old, staring at him with dim eyes, and asked coldly, "You have already broken the cause and effect with her, can you leave?"
"You're going to just let her wander in the Mountains of Dead Souls?"
"It's her fate, no matter what yours do."
"But there are demons there...... You know, there's no way I'm going to turn a blind eye to demons. Mu Qingyang frowned.
"It's just an illusion...... Demons are not so easy to invade the underworld now, the necromancers here are just asking for trouble, don't worry, those who are completely let go, I will let them go to reincarnate obediently, as for those who are obsessed, even let them mess around in that messy place......"
"You mean...... Is that just a fantasy? ”
"Of course! What do you think the underworld is? How can there be so many loopholes for demons to exploit...... All that is left is the knot in the heart of these dead souls, and when the knot is gone, it is good to be reborn on the road. ”
"Liu Meier, she ......"
"You don't want to mix it up anymore, her heart knot is you...... Being able to take this opportunity to end the entanglement between you will naturally be freed from it...... Well, it's time for you to go! ”
As soon as Meng Po pulled Mu Qingyang, his whole person immediately stumbled unnaturally. He was tied to his hands by a black rope, as if he was a prisoner, but he didn't resist at all, just silently followed Meng Po all the way to the head of the bridge, watching the black river flowing silently under his feet, Mu Qingyang looked up at Meng Po and smiled, but the corners of his mouth were bitter and indescribable.
"Only this path can be taken, it can put everything on the right track, you have caused too much disruption, you can't let the world collapse, and the key is you, it's just a rebirth...... Time can fix everything. ”
"Do you need to drink that?" Mu Qingyang pointed to the soup pot at the head of the bridge.
"No, I said it...... Time corrects everything, this trip is long, long enough to make you forget a lot of things......" (To be continued.) )
