At that moment, Huo Jiucheng and the sword wolf only felt that their sanity was taken away by the hard, and their bodies were not under their control. He forced himself to close his eyes - but his eyelids didn't seem to respond.

The moment the blood light pierced into his eyes, everything happened dizzyingly fast - Huo Jiucheng and the sword wolf found themselves in a blood-colored world.

The city gate is still the same gate, and the place is still the same place. It's just that there are only two of them left in heaven and earth. Demon Lord, Qingyang, Lanye, Dragons Group, Seven Nights Crossbowman...... It's all gone.

The two of them performed light skills and swept up the inner city gate. All the way from the city towers, dwellings, post posts on the eaves, countless pavilions under the foot of the crumble collapse collapsed.

Within the contagion of power at the feet of the two, everything seemed so fragile that it was as fragile as a piece of paper.

Ears, quietly. The sound of the wind, the sound of fighting, and the sound of horses' hooves are gone.

The sword wolf knew that he and Huo Jiucheng were probably not as simple as falling for the Demon Lord's soul dementorship!

The Great Commander of the Scout Guard looked even more solemn, and said solemnly: "Brother Huo, it seems that we have entered the realm of the Demon Return!" ”

"Demon Return?" When Huo Jiucheng heard this, his face was a little weird.

The sword wolf said casually: "I'm sorry, because there is too little information, I don't know the specific principle." Now to know that this is another world that is independent of the world in which we live. In this world, all factors including time, place, quality, etc., are different from where we are.

Huo Jiucheng asked, "Brother Wolf has a way to crack it?" ”

The sword wolf narrowed his eyes: "Under normal circumstances, it can't be cracked. Qingyang was wrong, this was not an illusion, but a world in the spiritual realm. Only if the realm level is above the world, or if the mental power is stronger than that of the caster, can it be cracked. Otherwise, we will be trapped here forever! ”

Huo Jiucheng's face sank: "Is there no other way?" ”

The sword wolf said: "Yes." ”

Huo Jiucheng asked, "What way?" ”

The sword wolf said calmly: "Qingyang will help us kill the spellcaster, and the demon return desperate realm will be automatically lifted." ”

Huo Jiucheng's face turned pale: "Kill the Demon Lord?" I'm afraid Brother Qingyang can't do it yet. ”

The sword wolf said lightly: "That's right. It seems that the Night Demon Lord has been trained to be reborn as a Heavenly Demon. Even if the three of us join forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill it. ”

Huo Jiucheng said faintly: "However, today I am fortunate to be able to see the Heavenly Demon Tyrant's Broken Sword and the Heavenly Demon Rebirth of the Night Demon Lord!" ”

The sword wolf nodded: "That's right, this is already a major piece of information. It's a pity that we in the world of the realm can't convey it. ”

Huo Jiucheng's face became more and more pale: "Alas, we still know too little about the demon race. In the past thousand years, I don't know how many outstanding people have been sacrificed, in exchange for only such a pitiful piece of information. ”

The sword wolf's face turned soothing and said: "Therefore, the task of exterminating demons is not a matter of several generations, but a great cause that may not be completed by a hundred generations, a thousand generations, or even ten thousand generations. ”

Huo Jiucheng smiled bitterly, sat down on the spot, and said to himself: "Since I was a child, I have been known as the genius of the Huo family that is rare in a hundred years, and I myself have worked very hard. At the age of seventeen, I became the head of the god-level masters. Even the Demon Slayer Headquarters has designated me as the sixty-sixth generation leader..... Sorry, Brother Wolf. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just unwilling. Why is the gap between unwilling humans and demons so big? It was so big that it made me feel powerless to fight against the sky. So big that I can't see the way forward and the hope! Why? What are we attacking the Heavenly Sin Desert for? ”

The knife wolf sat down, rested the double knives on his back on the ground, and did not answer, not even speak.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but he doesn't know how to answer the confusion of the young man in front of him.

Yes, compared to the young Huo Jiucheng, I am afraid that he has been confused for dozens of years. Back then, he used to be a professional killer in the imperial capital. Every day, he lives a life of taking orders and killing people, and spilling blood.

If it weren't for that adult, I'm afraid I would still be a killer now, living a life of killing and being hunted down every day.

"What have we demon slayer guards been doing for thousands of years? What exactly did you embark on this path? Knowing that the demons are invincible, why do human beings still have to go one after another for this impossible goal? Huo Jiucheng hugged his head with his hand, as if he was talking to himself, and it was like saying it to the sword wolf.

No way, because the future leader of the Demon Slayer Guard suffered two fatal blows in succession: in martial arts, he was no match for Wildfire; In the battle with the Demon Lord, he withdrew from the battlefield without even the slightest help.

He had never hated so much—hated his own powerlessness.

His remaining fighting spirit and fighting spirit were shattered in two days.

He suddenly remembered that when he was seven years old, an old man in cloth clothes looked at his face and measured his words.

At that time, the attack of the demons was imminent, and the human race was about to rearm to defend against the invasion of the demons.

So, he wrote down the word "magic".

The old man in cloth asked him what he wanted to measure.

He replied to test his fortune.

The old man in cloth looked at him for a long time before he said in a compassionate tone: "In your life, there have been thirty wars, and twenty-nine battles are all related to demons. So, your major battles are all magic wars. ”

Then he asked Huo Jiucheng: "You-remember?" Although Huo Jiucheng was skeptical, he knew that this old man must have a good background, so he replied: "Remember." ”

Seeing that the young man had replied in this way, the old man continued: "Also, after you are seventy-six years old, be careful of a woman named Green Bee; Your last battle, your life and death, your fate, is about her. ”

"Who is Green Bee? I don't know. But Brother Qingyang, I'm very familiar with it. The young Huo Jiucheng was a little in a trance.

The old man in cloth squinted at him, and his voice became majestic in vain: "Do you remember?" ”

The young man Huo Jiucheng replied impatiently: "I remember." ”

The old man in cloth looked at him again at that time, his eyes were profound, and he stopped talking.

Huo Jiucheng suddenly wanted to know the following and all the contents, so he asked, "First ...... Sir, I chose this word, am I related to the devil? ”

The old man shook his head this time, without hesitation or thinking. This surprised Huo Jiucheng a little, and muttered, "Oh, don't I have anything to do with the devil?" ”

"No!" At that time, the old man pointed at him with an almost solemn gaze and said, "It's not that you don't have a demonic fate, but you yourself are a demon." ”

He said to Huo Jiucheng in a deep voice: "Your demon heart has already been planted; Your face has a hidden demonic face. ”

This time, it was Huo Jiucheng's turn to be unconvinced, he knew what he looked like.

He has seen it in the mirror - wearing a silver crown, wearing a cloud dragon brocade shirt, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and very smart between his eyebrows, very handsome, and a beautiful young man.

How can such a look be a demonic appearance?

The old man in cloth also seemed to see what he was thinking, "What, you don't believe it?" ”

The young man Huo Jiucheng said angrily word by word: "You-listen-clear-Chu." I-no-like-demon, I-no-is-demon. ”

"No, you are, you are. This anger just now is even more demonic! The old man in cloth said coldly, "Don't you realize it yourself?" ”

Huo Jiucheng was still incredulous, "The devil has horns on his head, but I don't have them; The demon has demon scales, and neither do I; Demons have wings, and I don't have them. Where am I a demon? ”

"No, that's not right!" The old man shook his head and said, "You know what? The future you will be a person who will sacrifice for the sake of achieving your goals. You will be in command of thousands of troops, and you will face a much more desperate predicament than anyone else. And you will not hesitate to send soldiers, friends, and subordinates to death one by one for some kind of goal of humanity. Every time you make a cruel choice, you can even let all people die, and from the perspective of killing others, you are undoubtedly a demonic existence! ”

Huo Jiucheng was a little embarrassed: "How is it possible? I ......" he thought the old man was just.

But the old man in cloth had already gotten up and left, and before leaving, he turned back and said, "The real devil is not appearance! ”

He pointed his finger at Huo Jiucheng's chest: "The real demon is your heart." ”

Yes, the real devil is in your heart.

Yes, in this cruel world, no one has to become a demon!

Because: only demons can destroy demons.

"Perhaps, we live for a belief." The sword wolf suddenly spoke, pulling Huo Jiucheng's thoughts back from his memories in an instant.

Huo Jiucheng asked rhetorically: "Faith? What is it? What's the use? Can you defeat the Night Demon Lord? Can you destroy the demons? Can it lead humanity to ultimate victory? ”

The sword wolf said, "No, but if a person lives without faith, what is the difference between death and death?" Life is better than death. ”

Huo Jiucheng said in disbelief: "Strength is not faith. It's a phenomenon caused by matter, a Xuangong Dao method attached to the sword, and the unfinished weapon Demon Suppression Blade. ”

The knife wolf said: "You, no. You know, we have come to this point because of faith. Only faith can inspire you who are alive, as well as all of us. ”

"Faith or something is really useful, and now we don't have to spend it here." Huo Jiucheng said disdainfully: "It's because of ridiculous beliefs that we have no strength that we are trapped here." ”

The sword wolf said coldly: "We fight for our beliefs and are born for our beliefs. For the sake of faith, we can die without hesitation. ”

Huo Jiucheng said angrily: "Die!" Die! Die! Is there still faith when people die? Even life has been lost, what kind of faith can we talk about? ”

For the first time, there was a quarrel and disagreement between these two year-old friends.

Between friends, sometimes that's it. For no reason, they quarreled. However, friendship does not hurt each other.

Sometimes it is noisy, but it is a reflection of deep friendship.

However, when disaster comes, true friends can fight side by side, face the enemy together, put aside all differences, and tide over the difficulties together.

Yes, whether they are true friends or not, whether they are righteous or not. Try it while you're going through it, and you're ready to try.

Only when you are in trouble can you see who your true friends are.

It is only when you are down, that friends can become true brothers—seeing the truth in adversity.

But being a good leader is not so simple.

A good leader will not avoid these crises.

A true leader doesn't complain like this, but finds a way to solve one problem after another.

A good leader should not shy away from questions.

It's about solving the problem, eliminating the problem.

At present, Huo Jiucheng is obviously not strong enough, the heat is not enough, and he is still far from the path of the leader.

The sword wolf patted Huo Jiucheng on the shoulder: "Brother, as the future leader of the Demon Slayer Guard." You still have a long, long way to go. Your life has just begun, and at the same time, you are much more confused than ordinary people. If, this is your path, would you be willing to walk it all? ”
