Chapter Seventy-Eight: I'm Not Afraid of Death
There is a story about a demon general in the Taoist book, a story about the destruction of the whole city and shouting to the sky. That story was not very good, because it was very sad, but Lu Beichen did not read sadness, but read the courage, that is, from that time on, he admired the courage of the demon clan.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to learn from the bravery of that demon generalβeven if the next moment was death, he had to use those empty willpower to dilute those fears and face the danger. Who knows if it will be another new dawn after it survives?
"I don't know what you're saying that you shouldn't have heard. But listen, just as you demon clan will not fear death, I will not be afraid. β
"Roar......" The lion seemed even more angry when he heard this. Without saying a word, it rushed forward, and its fierce formation was no weaker than that of the poor beast of the day.
Lu Beichen was about to pick up the sword, but before he could swing it, he was shocked by the powerful aura and slammed down the wall.
Not being scared doesn't mean not being dangerous.
It was because of the stone that he was able to escape from the clutches of the poor man, after all, he was able to avoid death from the attack of the mountain tiger because of the general and the stone.
That stone was like Lu Beichen's talisman.
But something like an amulet, who knows when it will appear and when it will fail.
Lu Beichen struggled to get up from the wall, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his lips.
"You are indeed very strong, but you have never cultivated into human form, you have always been just a beast. Since it's a beast, then I have the possibility of winning. β
"I just wanted to come and meet the owner of this palace. Unexpectedly, I couldn't even do this thing. β
"However, even knowing the results, I didn't want to give up. β
Lu Beichen wiped the blood from his mouth, raised the Sun and Moon Sword, and his hands trembled.
He didn't practice, let alone learn kendo from his master.
He was just an ordinary person, and he didn't have the power to fuse from heaven and earth in his body, let alone the ability of a cultivator to wield a sword freely.
Even if it was this Sun and Moon Sword that could be successfully picked up and played two rounds ten years ago, this Sun and Moon Sword that the master said could resonate with him, he didn't know how to use it.
He didn't have time to think about it so much, because of the heavier aura that came with it.
But that's not as simple as breath, it's a lion's paw.
It doesn't need the touch of the body, just a lion's paw condensed by an ethereal breath is enough to shatter the boulder.
As soon as Lu Beichen stood up, he could sense the domineering and furious aura of that aura, and subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand and made a blocking motion.
"Bang ......"
The condensed aura resembling a lion's paw collided directly with the Sun and Moon Sword, making an extremely loud sound, and then dissipated.
"I'm so lucky. Lu Beichen thought to himself, but he didn't notice that he was already sweating profusely. Try to think like if you were a second late, I'm afraid that I would really become the ghost of this behemoth.
"Roar......" The lion roared angrily, wanting to continue attacking Lu Beichen.
That anxious look made Lu Beichen a little strange.
Why didn't the lion stay where he was?
Is it too powerful and doesn't need to take a few more steps forward?
The lion looked at himself, did he feel that the life in front of him was not worth his fight, just like the Celestial dragon overlooking the ant, he didn't bother to fly down from the sky to attack the ant, and only needed a trace of vitality to be able to put the ant who didn't know how to fight against the dragon.
Subconsciously, Lu Beichen thought so, but looking at the lion at the moment, he had one more guess: it was not that he was unwilling to move forward, let alone disdainful of moving forward, but that he couldn't.
"Are you locked in by something?" he asked quietly, with some disbelief in his words.
There are still people in the world who can trap the immortal red lion here?
Compared with the demon race, the human race is slightly inferior in physique, and its combat power and the time it can last in battle are not as good as those of the demon race.
The Immortal Red Lion is so powerful, not to mention how strong its attack power is, just that red hair makes it even more impossible to hurt it. How did the man do it?
Looking at the dust in the wind and sand, and the lion's angry and anxious childlike appearance, Lu Beichen thought about these in his heart.
The lion continued to scold twice, and a strong wind blew in the hall, and the bricks under his feet shattered, and the whole hall seemed to be blown down.
was blown around, and he didn't have time to dodge at all.
In an instant, the contents of the baggage were scattered all over the ground, drifting away in the gust of wind.
"My letter!" Lu Beichen exclaimed.
Faith is in the people, this is the only thing that has supported him to move forward bravely since going down the mountain, that is the most important thing for him, how can it be blown like this?
Lu Beichen hurriedly chased after the letter, but he didn't expect to be kicked again by the lion.
Blood poured from his mouth, soaking his shirt.
That lion's paw, after all, still can't escape.
"I didn't expect that I was going to die at your hands in the end,......" Lu Beichen was lying on the ground, very uncomfortable, and his originally pale face was even paler.
"However, I will not give up easily, please allow me to fight you in the next battle. β
"If I really deserve to die here, the only regret is the letter in my baggage, this is my master's thing, this is my most important mission down the mountain, this is what supports me to move forward after my master's death, and it may also be related to the life and death of the human race. β
"If I die here, I hope you tell the Prime Minister and hope that he will give this letter to the Holy Emperor. β
Lu Beichen kept talking, a little weak, as if he was talking to himself, but it was more like negotiating with this lion.
In the past fifteen years, his life has not been too turbulent, and he has always been taken care of by everyone. Until after going down the mountain, facing all kinds of sudden things alone, encountering fierce beasts, strange people, and strange things, may not be anything in the eyes of others, but it has been brilliant in the past pale years.
He'd love to have the opportunity to do something next. After entering the Holy Capital, although I didn't know what to do, I still wanted to do more.
In front of this behemoth, Lu Beichen was naturally still afraid, but he would never choose to lower his head again. Just like that day, when he met the fierce beast on Chaisang Mountain, although the beast was very fierce, he would rather choose to exchange injuries for injuries, and today when he came here, he was willing to choose this way.
It's just that since he has come here, I don't know why, he actually wants to relax. If you die here, will someone be able to find out? If so, then it's worth dying here too.
It's just that this time he won't meet death with his eyes closed, but will fight against it, even if it slips over the brink of death.
"You...... Be...... Who?" A sharp voice echoed through the palace, and the pronunciation of those three words was particularly clear.
Lu Beichen was stunned and said, "Can you speak?
He originally thought that the lion was just empty of strength, very fierce, and did not have the ability to think humanly. In the face of a powerless person like Lu Beichen, it will only think about how much time it can take to turn people into a pile of bones.
However, it is not the same thing.
The lion glanced at Lu Beichen with disdain, and then said two words very seriously, "Stupid." β
After Lu Beichen heard these two words, not only was he not angry, but there was a smile on his pale face, "It turns out that you can understand me, it turns out that you can speak." β
"You're so weak, you might as well surrender obediently, and you can die a better death. β
"Trespassing on the forbidden land, there is only one result, and that is death!"
"Our leon clan is extremely powerful, you are not my opponent!"
The lion said several words in succession, and then looked at the young man in the distance viciously, with infinite anger in his eyes. Those two black eyes, like an abyss, made people feel timid.
Lu Beichen tried his best to suppress the uneven impact of the breath in the meridians, as well as the unconscious trembling between the muscles in the vocal cords, and said quietly, "Then can you tell me, where is this?"
"On the second floor of the Ocean Palace, the library of the Prime Minister. The lion said.
Although he was puzzled about why the so-called Library Pavilion didn't even have a book, Lu Beichen still said calmly, "Thank you for telling me so directly, without beating around the bush." β
The lion glanced at him and said indifferently, "I just don't want to lie to a dying man." β
Lu Beichen tried to ask, "But I just came here by mistake, there is really no malice, why do you have to kill me." β
"If you peek into the secrets of this attic, you have to die. Unless you have the means to get out of here, I'm not going to let you out easily. β
"It's just an empty hall, and I don't see anything. Lu Beichen said with some reluctance, "I still have a lot of things to do, I really can't die." β
"When everyone faces death, they beg for mercy from the master of fate. You stupid people will say that you are not afraid of death, but you will still be afraid after all, so you come up with all kinds of excuses. The red lion said a long and rare sentence.
Lu Beichen was stunned at first, but with difficulty he understood the meaning of that paragraph, and said, "It's not sad to be afraid of death, that's human nature." I am not afraid of death, but I cannot die, so I must endure the fear of dwelling in the face of death, and strive to fight for your right not to die. β
