Chapter 284: The Prince and the Princess
If Luo Lao is here, maybe he will praise Huai Shi, your shameless appearance is quite a bit of the style of my youth.
But for Luo Xian, it doesn't matter whether there is another reason or whether Huai Shi may be a real genius, there is no difference, but ...... I was even more excited.
"In that case, I don't need to put water in the water, right?"
The coldness brought by Luo Xian's smile suddenly hit the back of Huai Shi's head, and the premonition of death spread wildly from the skull, and the instantaneous trance almost made Huai Shi's consciousness succumb to that terrifying killing intent.
Immediately after, she suddenly came to Huai Shi's face, holding a short sword upside down, and stabbed at Huai Shi's face.
The movement is so gentle and smooth that it makes people think that it is a gentle touch, but in fact, there is an out-and-out killing intent running through the flowing movements.
Fast and fast, even with the prediction of the mirror of nothingness, Huai Shi was still almost scratched by this trick - too fast, her speed was so fast that she couldn't predict it, and at the first moment when the pre-reading floated in her mind, she was already close in front of her.
Collapse!
The blade was blocked.
No tricks were employed, but the roughest methods were used.
Strong against strong.
Blazing blood rose from Huaishi's left arm, and frenzied power surged from his shell, bringing him burning pain and almost thunderous power.
Huai Shi roared, stepped forward, and forced Luo Xian to take a step back again.
Luo Xian's eyebrows raised.
I never thought that after combining the mountain ghost's stigma and the transcendent state, it would be able to reach such an incredible level.
The blade of the axe fell, violently setting off a hurricane, tearing the ground under his feet, and the crack extended straight forward, dozens of meters in an instant, until it reached Luo Xian's feet.
Extravagantly swaying this power, Huai Shi explored the upper limit of what he could accept, and in an instant, he broke through the sky!
Muscles have their limits, even if the power used by each person is only a fraction of the muscle, as long as you untie it, you can explode to the point where you are afraid.
But there are still limits.
The level of the mountain ghost stigmata itself is destined for the existence of this upper limit.
However, there is no such thing as a limit to essentia itself, and after ignoring the special properties of each person, the transformation of the hierarchy and the total amount of essentia, the essentia, which is born from the soul and consciousness, is inherently contrary to the foundations of physics and thermodynamics.
It can reach the level of subverting the three major blockades of the present realm, and with enough terrifying numbers, it may not be impossible to rewrite this world in the hands of the Creator.
And the breakthrough of the drummer and Yu Bu lies in this, it is one of the thousands of essentia applications in the world, and the most closely connected with the body.
Through the combination of pure technique and essentia application, it can help people break through the limits of their own muscle strength and release a destructive power far beyond themselves.
By endlessly extracting the vitality of the surroundings, Huai Shi was able to transform a large amount of blood and qi, which was continuously irrigated into the Mirror of Nothingness, a skill that he could only master by years and perhaps more than ten years in advance.
At this moment, he could feel that with the continuous consumption of the source matter, his strength was constantly improving, and he was destroying this body that had already been covered with dark wounds step by step.
He's going to die.
With the help of the Mirror of Nothingness, Miserly makes full use of every tendon, every bone, every joint, until finally, it collapses completely.
Precisely to perdition.
Under such crazy operation, he could feel that his lifespan was rapidly shortening, as if he had squandered his entire life's strength in this short ten minutes.
No, is there still ten minutes?
How much time is left for him? 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or 3 minutes?
How long will he be able to enjoy this power beyond the limit before this false life is squandered?
He's long gone.
"Come!"
The sword of virtue rubbed against the sacrificial sword, bursting with fire, illuminating the shattered smile of the mountain ghost, and a blazing light burst from the crack in the boy's chest.
He's burning, putting on a show for his fans.
"Time waits for me. He whispered, "Cherish this last meeting!"
The blade of the sword, slashing and slashing!
Collapse!
In the roar, Luo Xian raised her arms, and the long and short swords full of cracks slashed out, burning dozens of silver-white steel glows from the air, and the broken arc seemed to be engraved in the air, tearing the hurricane and colliding with the steel in Huai Shi's hand.
Sparks fly!
The long sword shattered, Huai Shi stepped on the money and attacked, but Luo Xian took a step back, as if she had already calculated, as she trampled, sometimes an iron hammer flew up from the ground and fell into her hand, and with her swing, an arc was drawn from the air, and collided with the axe blade again.
The blinding light flashed away.
"If I had known you could be so strong, I wouldn't have waited so longβ"
Luo Xian's expression became more and more pleasant, and from the broken soul, the precipitation of the abyss danced wildly, turned into pitch black, gushed out, and almost swallowed Huai Shi.
Murderous intent is piercing.
"Do you know?" she stared at the young man in front of her from the collision of swords, and suddenly said, "Father, he originally wanted you to kill me. β
"There are always people who have unrealistic expectations of me. β
Huai Shi slashed and retorted expressionlessly: "I seem to have said from the beginning that I didn't learn these things to kill anyone!"
βjoke. β
The metal collided, bursting into a sharp voice, but it couldn't suppress the laughter of Luo Xian in front of him: "Could it be that someone is learning how to kill people for the sake of the peace of the world?"
"Maybe you don't want to believe itβ" Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh, "I'm just pure free." β
"I really like your duplicity, like a love story, you can always deceive girls who haven't seen it, in your plan, does this include me?"
Luo Xian chuckled, stepped forward, the weapons in her hands continued to rotate with her footsteps, and even empty-handed, thunder, thunderbolts, sky collapses, and earth subsidence, fiercely suppressing Huai Shi at a disadvantage.
One punch!
The axe in Huai Shi's hand came out of her hand and flew into the air, and before it could hit the ground, it dissipated, condensing from Huai Shi's hand again, blocking the dagger she had picked up from the ground.
It almost penetrated the heavy back of the axe, and the sharp edge was only a line away from Huai Shi's pupils.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the cold light in front of him.
Unwavering.
"Yes, that's the look. β
Luo Xian's voice came from his ears, as if whispering softly, and as the crystal slipper stepped on, a flicker appeared from behind Huai Shi, and whispered in his ear: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that we were the same people-"
"βWe have survived by killing something, Huaishi, if we want to live, we can only kill more. β
She smiled, stared at the side face of her kind, and told him:
"We're all the same. β
"Do you have magical long hair too?"
Huai Shi asked rhetorically, turned around, and from this half step, slashed the sacrificial knife towards her.
"Do you have magic hands?"
The blade of the axe slashes down.
"Do any critters talk to you?"
Spear sweep.
"-Will there be a young lady who will help you solve your troubles like she did with me!"
Rumble!
The blade of the sword of rage stabbed through the air, and the straight wind left deep nicks at the end of the distant streets.
Huai Shi gasped, let the blood fall from her face, stared at Luo Xian who retreated into the distance, and told her word by word: "We are different!"
"I am Huai Shi, male, seventeen years old, a high school student in Dongxia, a professional celist, an action operator of the Astronomical Society, and the prince of paradise, a calamity musician, and a trainee demon slayer...... There are a lot of titles that you don't have. β
Huai Shi raised her head and told her, "I have a dream!"
"I want to protect my family, I want to rely on my own efforts to live, to get ahead, I want to live my life respectfully, when I am seventy or eighty, in the company of my wife, children and grandchildren, I will die happily, and it is best to enter the card pool of any bullshit game when I die, and let people krypton gold for me!"
"I want to live, I want to live better, I want more people to be like me!"
"So-"
Huai Shi stepped forward, slashed, and declared categorically to Luo Xian: "I am different from you!"
With all his might, he broke the wind, crushed the ground under his feet, chased Luo Xian's changing shadow, and slashed the long sword, short knife and axe blade in his hand with all his might......
It's a chord that does it all.
It was a peak that had never been reached, and the burning essentia attached to the blade of iron, bursting out with a glow that could not be seen directly by the eyes, as if breathing with the steel, and the power of the hand of the captivity was exerted on every inch of steel, causing the iron to burst out with a roar that echoed Huaishi.
Luo Xian retreated, retreated again, and at that moment, Huai Shi's eyes widened incredulously.
In the reflection of the Mirror of Nothingness, there was no trace of her.
All you could see was that she was almost flying tossing and turning between the burning iron light, whirling, rising and falling, uncanny lightness, landing from the air, her toes tapping the ground, her hands gracefully spreading.
From Long Xiang's attack, unscathed.
It was not an unexpected skill, not even a speed that surpassed Huai's poetry, but rather a natural reaction, as if echoing the dance partner's steps, keeping the most reserved distance from the enthusiastic suitor, and leaving him a chance to kiss Fangze.
Huai Shi looked at her in disbelief, almost ignoring the pain coming from her limbs.
"Huh?"
Luo Xian tilted her head to look at him suspiciously, and her smile seemed to be narrow: "'Ballet', haven't you seen it?"
She stood on tiptoe again, showing Huai Shi the basic movements perfectly from the spot, her eyes wandering and focused: "I heard the song you chose to play just now...... It's Saint-SaΓ«ns' The Swan, right?"
Huai Shi was silent, not knowing how to respond.
Her own rhythm was completely seen through by her.
No, maybe from the beginning, it didn't take it seriously like a joke, right?
"I love ballet. Luo Xian said seriously, "It's a pity that I only studied for two days before the teacher drove me away...... But before that, I learned Swan Lake. β
As she spoke, with a soft smile and a silent beat, she jumped and whirled from a pool of blood, turning her demure back, stretching her slender feet and arms, and whirling lightly.
It's like dancing to a silent melody, and it's incredibly beautiful.
Finally, she turned around, looked at Huai Shi, and asked softly:
"How?"
"It's beautiful. β
Huai Shi bowed, "It's really as beautiful as a swan." β
That's right, like a swan dancing on the shore of a blood-colored lake, it's obviously a frightening color, it's a frightening sight, but with her, everything seems to be beautiful.
Red Swan.
"Not only ballet, but also painting, singing, even the violin. β
Luo Xian suddenly said: "I have studied very hard, even if I don't learn well...... Watching movies, listening to music, cooking, knitting sweaters, helping the elderly and children, donating money to those in need, chasing stars, and falling in love. I've tried almost everything that makes people happy. β
She looked at the young man in front of her, and at some point, the smile had disappeared.
"But I've never experienced the kind of happiness you are talking about, why is that, Huaishi?"
She took a step forward and stared solemnly into Huai Shi's eyes: "How can I be as happy as you?" β
"How can I be happy?"
"Please, tell me. β
She said, "Whatever you want, I can give it to you." β
Almost pleadingly, she looked into Huaishi's eyes expectantly, and pleaded with his mercy: "Please tell me!"
β......β
Huai Shi looked at her in silence and pity, at her broken soul, and at the darkness that had swallowed her.
The lips opened and closed, but there was no way to speak.
I can only be silent weakly.
So, Luo Xian lowered her eyes in surprise, as if she had expected it.
"You can't help it, can you?"
Since she was born, she has been looking forward to being able to experience the things that others say, the happiness in preschool stories, the love in fairy tales, and the happiness that exists at the end of every story......
But what is happiness, what is happiness, and what is love?
"These things are all lies, right?"
As if she had finally comprehended, Luo Xian suddenly murmured.
Those are all deceptive things.
It's all ...... Falsehood!
It was a lie that everyone used to deceive her as a person.
It was a treasure that only others could show off to themselves, and she had nothing.
β......β
Since the long silence, Huai Shi didn't dare to look into her eyes, and sighed weakly: "I'm sorry." β
"Is that so?"
Luo Xian's eyes gradually became cold, no longer the enthusiasm and expectation just now, and gradually, it became like an abyss, empty.
"Why don't you go? Huaishi, isn't the game over?"
She asked indifferently: "You, who have never come for the ranks, can leave here as long as you want, right? Why do you want to stay with a female madman to play games?"
"I wanted to run, but I didn't run away, and then I didn't want to run. β
Huai Shi said, "I want to save you." β
Luo Xian was stunned.
In the silence, as if hearing a wonderful joke, he involuntarily hooked the corners of his mouth, shook his heart, tugged at his vocal cords, and let out a mocking and narrow laugh.
Cachinnation.
"I see?"
It was as if he finally understood what he had been trying to do in vain, but it was even more incredulous and more feeling because of it...... Ridiculous!
"You really are His Royal Highness the Prince, Huaishi. β
She muttered softly, raising her eyes from the whisper, and looking at the young man in front of her, revealing a hideous and dead silence like the essence of the abyss.
Countless blood rippled as the sound of thunder rang out in the distance.
The silence on the long broken street was torn apart, mountains of corpses crumbling under the impact, and the curtain of blood rain was shaken and rolled in all directions.
Sharp shadows emerged from the end of the rain of blood, whistling, condensing their forms from nothingness, and answering the call under the trampling of the crystal slipper.
Illuminated by the dark green candle flame, the withered and shriveled pumpkins were soaked in blood, and under the pull of the bone horse, six huge wheels crushed the earth and burst into thunder.
At Cinderella's prayers, the pumpkin carriage from the nightmare resurfaces in the middle of this hell with a chilling aura.
"Then please dance with me, Your Highness the Prince. β
Luo Xian stretched out her hand, stroked the face of the skeleton giant horse, and turned back to Huai Shi in the distance to invite: "Just like you standing on the stage at that time, shining, as if you can save everyone."
Please dance with me. β
In this way, he boarded the carriage of death and threw his last cold glance at Huai Shi:
"βI'm deeply ...... I love you. β
And so, the skeleton and the horses neighed, and blood-colored flames rose from the chariot, forming a ferocity and fury that resembled substance. Regardless of his own strength and madness, the miracle of the road to paradise was awakened, and he spat out the breath of death towards Huai Shi hideously.
The love of the abyss, pinned on it!
In the silence, Huai Shi sighed, drew the sword of virtue, and slashed.
The iron hooves trampled on the broken road, and the white horse returned from the void again, neighing, and seeing Cinderella in the carriage in the distance, he couldn't help but take a step backwards, and snorted unhappily at Huaishi.
A pair of eyes stared at Huai Shi.
Why do you always get into such trouble with your opponents?
"yes. β
Huai Shi scratched her head, "Why do you always encounter such a tricky enemy?"
Thinking about it, there seems to be only one reason.
Probably the world is not good for itself.
But isn't he lucky compared to the others?
He has not fallen, he has not been subjected to suffering, torment, and ravage beyond his means, he has not been carried away by an unreasonable, sudden death, and he has not been worn out by this world.
He's still alive, he's still able to get up, and he's still going on.
So where is there any excuse to complain?
Now, the bitter water has been poured out, and he has not yet died, so he can't give up here.
"I'm going to do my duty as a prince. β
Huai Shi looked at the white horse, smiled and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
The white horse glared at him, not knowing whether he was annoyed or frustrated, and soon, after snorting twice, he proudly puffed up his chest and motioned for him to hurry up and not to rub it off.
It is very self-contained.
Huai Shi grinned, turned over on his horse, and looked at the figure in the darkness above the carriage.
"Ready? β
The prince of Paradise, with the reins and sword in his hand, whispered:
"-I'm going to go!"
In front of the blood-colored carriage, the two skeleton horses neighed unhappily and roared silently.
In the darkness above the carriage, a smile seemed to emerge with pleasure.
"Only you can bring me such happiness, Huaishi. β
Luo Xian raised her hand, and a flame of pain appeared in the ashes, covering the entire carriage, and the power of the Paradise Road traveled here, showing in her hands, pinning the huge power on this chariot.
She stared at Huaishi's face, waiting for his final performance, the last faint glimmer of happiness she could seek.
Come on, Your Highness the Prince.
Please bring me the last happiness!
