Chapter 169: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Heaven and earth are a dark place.
Xu Han's head was also groggy.
His body kept falling, the speed was extremely fast, and the air flow in the air cut his skin, so that there were bursts of sharp pain cut by sharp weapons all around his body at that time.
But Xu Han didn't hate this feeling, in fact, it was this kind of pain that kept the only trace of clarity in his muddy head.
He fell faster and faster, and he passed through the endless void, past the stars of the dome, and crashed through the overlapping clouds.
The vision before him began to become clearer, and he saw a red earth—hot lava erupting from the depths of the earth, devouring every inch of the land in its path like a tidal wave, and the crowd scattered like ants, wailing and wailing, only to be submerged in the landslide and the earth.
Xu Han remembered that he seemed to have seen such a scene somewhere. There was no fluctuation in his heart, his body was still falling, and the earth that greeted his eyes gradually shrank, but at the same time it gradually became clearer. He saw a messy mountain cliff, on the corpses of countless huge humanoid monsters, a purple-eyed girl was looking at Xu Han with red eyes, with an extremely resentful gaze.
Xu Han's body, which was constantly falling, was gradually dragged by an invisible force, and his falling figure stopped, suspended in midair. But he was not surprised by such a change, but wondered why this purple-eyed girl, or why his own master looked at him with such eyes.
But this doubt was soon answered.
"Why! Why are you lying to me!" the purple-eyed girl asked angrily as she raised her finger to the sky.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, it turned out that the purple-eyed girl's words were not for him, and her eyes were not looking at him. Xu Han came back to his senses and looked back at the dome, but saw that a huge human face on the dome had been condensed and formed, and he also looked here, but surprisingly passed Xu Han and looked straight at the ghost Bodhi behind him. It seems that in the eyes of both sides of the confrontation, there is no such person as Xu Han.
"Lie to you? When did I lie to you? If you want the power to restore the country, I passed on to you the method of the half-demon god seed, and if you want a chance to do it again, I will give you a chance to do it again. You look at the world around you, the world is reorganizing at this moment, and everything will go back to before you met, don't you see everything is as I promised?" Skyrim's face said, with an undisguised banter and ridicule in his dull tone.
"It's not what I want to do all over again... It's not..."Ghost Bodhi looked at the world below the mountain in despair, the tumbling lava frantically devoured the lives of living beings, but anyone who touched the lava for half a minute, ordinary people, and unparalleled immortals, were instantly drained of life under that power, and the horror in their eyes was frozen forever at that moment, and then their bodies were broken into countless tiny particles, and poured into the depths of the world under the traction of those churning lava.
"Enjoy, start all over again, you and he will meet again, but the end is already doomed. The huge face squinted at the ghost Bodhi, and then the face slowly dissipated, and there was silence in the heavens and the earth—except for the wailing that echoed as if in purgatory, of course.
Tears welled up in the purple-eyed girl's eyes, and she knelt on the ground, her hands clutching the dirt on the ground, her fingernails still scratched out of blood. A series of emotions of chagrin, remorse, unwillingness, and hatred came to her heart. Her body began to tremble, and a powerful will in her body awoke from its slumber that was about to flood her body, and her eyes became dark in that instant.
Just when she couldn't help herself, and was about to let that power eat away at everything she had, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
Ghost Bodhi was slightly stunned, the will that was about to erode her body dispersed at that moment, she turned her head to look behind her, and she saw a black-clothed young man covered in blood standing behind her, looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He said: "Master, don't give up, we still have a chance." ”
Ghost Bodhi was stunned, out of guilt in her heart, or out of despair for Wei Lai, she did not give the young man a response at the first time, but said dejectedly: "It's over, everything is over, it's me..." ”
But Xu Han was still smiling, he stretched out his hand to help the body of Ghost Bodhi up, and said: "We are all chess pieces in the chessboard, we can't help ourselves, we can't help ourselves, we can't blame others." ”
"But now, the chess player has cleared the chessboard, and we have the opportunity to bury a chess piece, and wait until the actual time comes, and the chess game is turned over. ”
Ghost Bodhi was still a little stunned, but perhaps it was the determination in the young man's tone that infected her, and she couldn't help asking, "How to bury it?"
The boy didn't say anything, just turned his head to look behind him. Ghost Bodhi noticed the strangeness in this, and she also subconsciously followed the young man's gaze. I saw that behind him there were several fashionable and still standing figures, a girl about ten years old, wearing black and white clothes, but the two old men who looked the same, and of course, the only heir of the Holy Gate, Chu Qiuli...
Xu Han in the sky looked at everything in front of him, and he finally understood, whether it was the ghost Bodhi in front of him, or himself, as well as the nineteen, Zhou Yuan, and even Chu Qiuli behind him were all fantasies in his memory.
He came to his senses, and the illusions around him began to crack one after another for the first time, and with a soft sound, those fantasies shattered along with everything around him.
......
Call!
Call!
Call!
Xu Han opened his eyes, his mouth was panting heavily, and his forehead was covered with dense sweat stains.
"It's a shame that I was just close to seeing your deepest secret. But before Xu Han could figure out where he was in the depths, a deep voice came from his ears for the first time.
Under that voice, Xu Han's drowsy head cleared a little, and when he looked up, he saw a pitch-black room, which was not a rendering, but a kind of complete darkness that even sunlight could not shine through. Ordinary people can't see anything at all, but fortunately, Xu Han is not very human.
So he clearly saw several figures standing in front of him—and most of these people could be regarded as Xu Han's old acquaintances.
The palace master of Taiyin Palace is incomparable, the previous king of Northern Xinjiang, Mu Ji, the current king of Northern Xinjiang, Zhou Zhang, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Meng Ke, the emperor of Chen State, Chen Xuanji, well, of course, there is also the Yuan Xiucheng who has been haunted since Qingzhou like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
Seeing these dead or undead people appear in front of his eyes, Xu Han didn't feel too much surprise because of this, but what really made Xu Han uneasy at this moment was that his limbs were being wrapped around a huge black iron chain, hanging his body high in the air. Xu Han had the heart to use the power in his body to break free from this restraint, but at this moment, his body was empty and there was no power that could drive him. Xu Han soon realized that it must be the strangeness of this iron rope, and he thought about everything that happened before he fell unconscious, but he couldn't understand how he had fallen into the hands of the god in front of him.
"Don't struggle uselessly, you can't break the chains. Shen Wushuang obviously saw through Xu Han's thoughts, he paced lightly in front of Xu Han with a leisurely expression, but his mouth said so, and then he stretched out his hand, snow-white fingers like jade slipped out of the wide black long sleeves, he gently pointed his hand on the iron cable, and the two collided with each other with a soft sound, echoing in the silent door, like the start of some kind of music.
"It's something God-given, it's made for you, it's able to block any bit of power within you. ”
"God?" Xu Han calmed down from the initial shock, he no longer continued to struggle senselessly, but secretly he continued to try to urge the power in his body, but on the bright side, he looked at the god Wushuang and asked with a sneer: "It turns out that the god Wushuang, who is known as the number one immortal in the world, will also have a god to believe in?"
The mockery in Xu Han's tone was naturally undisguised, but such a clumsy agitation method was obviously not enough to make Shen Wushuang's state of mind rise by half a point. He smiled slightly, and said, "The gods that mortals believe in are nothing more than some deceased creature or fictional characters, but in the final analysis, such beings are human beings. What's the big deal about people? It's just that they have a higher cultivation and a longer lifespan, how can they be, and how can they be equipped to be called gods?"
"You see, the Guiguzi who thinks he is the lord of the starry sky and all the realms, they treat the beings of this world as cattle and sheep in captivity, and treat me and those stupid true immortals as domestic dogs for sheep shepherds. They think they are infallible, but they forget that they are not gods, but men. And people will always make mistakes. ”
Xu Han stared at the god Wushuang who was talking eloquently, and said, "Then since even an extraterrestrial power like Guiguzi is not a god, who is the god in your Excellency's mouth?"
Shen Wushuang's eyes narrowed, and a deep chill appeared in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Naturally... You're up!"
"Me?" Xu Han was slightly stunned, but his face quickly showed an inexplicable smile, and he asked rhetorically: "Since I am the god in the mouth of His Excellency the Palace Master, does it seem too disrespectful to treat your god like this?"
"As I said, God is not a man, and the first thing you have to do to become a god is to erase that part of you who you are as a man. Shen Wushuang still had the same attitude of not being in a hurry or being annoyed, and after saying this, he gently tapped the iron rope that trapped Xu Han a few times with his fingers as white as a woman.
"Of course, it's hard to do that as a human being, but it's okay, I'll help you, my God. Shen Wushuang's voice sounded again, but unlike before, his tone became deeper and deeper at this moment, with a faint taste of fanaticism.
Xu Han was about to say something more, but his mouth just opened, his face changed suddenly, and he turned pale in an instant, he looked at the iron cables that trapped him, he could really see that the four iron cables that spread to the unknown place began to tremble violently, and then in the depths where he couldn't see clearly, four snake-like black things were circling along the four iron cables and surging towards Xu Han.
Xu Han felt a familiar smell from the four black things—that was the power of the emperor.
His pupils dilated suddenly at that time, and then he looked at the handsome man in front of him in disbelief, and asked in a loud voice, "Shen Wushuang, do you know what you're doing?!"
"Of course I do. Shen Wushuang said with a smile, the calm that still existed on his face was in stark contrast to Xu Han's gradually becoming hideous appearance in this dark space. "Sacrifice to the gods and call for his coming. ”
Xu Han's body struggled violently, and his head leaned forward at that time, colliding with Shen Wushuang's forehead: "Do you know what your so-called god will bring? That's something that even Guiguzi doesn't dare to face head!!"
The expression on Xu Han's face became more and more hideous, the angry look in his eyes flickered and brightened, and those black breaths had already poured into his body along the four iron cables, constantly eroding his body. That chain had already locked the power in Xu Han's body, and at this moment, under the erosion of that dark aura, Xu Han could only rely on his own will to fight against that powerful force, but this approach was more like a battle of trapped beasts, and sooner or later his will would be completely submerged under that dark power.
"The Guiguzi did not dare to face him, because they tried in vain to get their hands on the power of the gods, and we are different, we are his faithful servants, the gods will only destroy stupid creatures, and we will become God's people, and continue to maintain the order of the starry sky and the ten thousand regions that have been out of balance for hundreds of thousands of years with him. Shen Wushuang looked at Xu Han with a painful expression, a smile gradually swelled up in his eyebrows, he whispered such words, and his body began to overflow with a black aura that was the same as the power of the emperor. Of course, not only him, but also everyone behind him, for a while, there was a black aura in this dark space.
Xu Han said that in his eyes, he was naturally very familiar with the power of the emperor, and even because he had absorbed too much of the power of the emperor, he also had a very clear understanding of the state of everyone at the moment, they were just as they said, they became the slaves of the emperor, just like the Xiangliu who once took the initiative to give away his life in front of the Southern Wilderness Sword Mausoleum, at this moment, these familiar or unfamiliar people in front of him have become the ancient demons under the emperor!
Xu Han quickly figured out something.
For example, why did Xu Han, the white-clothed emperor in the Kunlun Immortal Palace, take the trouble to talk to him about the beginning and end of the matter, and for example, the time he desperately bought for this world outside the world, and these times do not only belong to the creatures of this world, but also belong to the emperor in the depths of this world. He'd never passed up the chance to break the seal, and now he's on it...
Xu Han thought of this, but the black aura had already poured into his body, his eyes were suddenly extremely black, and the consciousness in his mind gradually blurred at that time...
