Part 3 The Tale of the Wind Episode 9 Chapter 8 A terrifying plan
On December 3, 568 of the Altino calendar, Jinao Island was over the Free City
On Jinao Island, all the members of the Ancient Demon Dao team are divided into divisions, controlling the machinery of their own department.
It stands to reason that everyone's current first goal should be to launch a cannon at Shangri-La. Whether this goal is right or wrong, at least that's what your camp is trying to do at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
In addition to the team that monitors the energy regulation of the main gun, there are also several departments, which are respectively in charge of inducing radio waves, magnetic energy dementoring, perimeter defense with turrets and scarf wrestlers, and a protective shield ready to open.
Why they have to divide their forces to do so many things, the staff of the technical team is not clear, they just trust Director Zhu Yan's command and act according to orders, they believe that Director Zhu Yan knows all directions.
However, even Zhu Yan himself is now full of doubts. Although it is said that the launch of the Tongtian Cannon requires a long period of energy condensation, if you do what you have and don't have regardless of energy, the Tongtian Cannon can undoubtedly be launched earlier.
But Marshal Gongjin gave a strict order. In terms of all energy supply, the stability of the magnetic soul dementor device is the first priority, and the priority is even placed in front of the Babel Cannon. That device is just to absorb the souls of living beings, and so that the souls that are blocked and captured cannot escape, and there is no real combat power at all, why is this device more important than the Babel Cannon?
Zhu Yan himself was also speculating, thinking about whether the coach had any tricks, but the answer that emerged in his heart was a very bad one. At that time, Hua Tianevil was in the North Gate Tianguan, so that 200,000 Hua family disciples died on the battlefield in vain, absorbing their flesh and blood essence, living souls, and breaking through from the earth realm to the heavenly position in one fell swoop...... Especially Lord Gongjin, who is eager to break through.
(Damn, it shouldn't be like this, Lord Gongjin has always pursued self-reliance and self-improvement, and will never do such an opportunistic evil way...... )
Although he thought so in his mind, once the seeds of doubt took root in his heart, it was not so easy to be dispelled, and the more Zhu Yan thought about it, the more strange he felt, everything was in line, and there was no other reasonable factor except for this explanation.
(I can't doubt Lord Gongjin, how can I doubt him at such a time when I personally declared my allegiance to him......?) )
Zhu Yan clenched his fists, his expression on his face was cloudy, and even his teeth were clenched, and the team members who didn't understand his mood only thought that the director hated the enemies below, how could he think that he was also at war with heaven and man in his heart.
The automatic door of the main control room opened, and Gong Jin slowly stepped in, the white cloak was as clean as snow, and there was no trace of blood stains on it, obviously the battle just now was also a big victory.
Zhu Yan came to Gongjin's side and gave a brief report on the current progress, but did not ask about the whereabouts of the little junior sister, because the process of Ailing's escape from Jinao Island had already been fully witnessed from the surveillance screen of Jinao Island, and there was no need to ask anything.
"Gengoro was seriously injured by me, and there is no way to recover in a short time, so this enemy is useless. Of the remaining enemies, except for Chirez and the Monkey King of Reins, the rest are not to be feared, and when I deal with the monkey later, the situation will be settled. ”
"Isn't that monkey in Reins? why did he ......?"
"The idea of an ape, we can't understand. I don't know why he left Jixia, but he had just come to Shangri-La to play with my old friend. ”
Gong Jin said lightly: "That active monkey will not obediently wait for someone to throw peanuts on the ground, it will probably be killed later, and I will deal with it when the time comes, and you continue to supervise the progress here." ”
Taking the initiative to attack, this is indeed Lancelot's style in the past, Zhu Yan naturally has no opinion, but after a moment of hesitation, he finally couldn't help but come to the coach and put forward his opinion.
"Lord Gongjin, it is necessary to eliminate the Reins party, and we will fight them to the death sooner or later, but we now have the powerful firepower of Jinao Island, Lord Gongjin is invincible, and he can overwhelm them in a dignified manner, and it seems that there is no need to use world-destroying weapons such as the Tongtian Cannon, implicating innocent people......"
"Oh, do you think that if you fight with dignity, you won't implicate others and cause innocent casualties?"
"No, since there is a war, there will inevitably be casualties, and every heavenly battle will inevitably implicate others, but at least we can try to avoid it and reduce these regrets. ”
"Thousands of deaths and tens of millions of people are the same in the sin of killing, if you are so benevolent and righteous, will it be possible to kill a little less people to make you feel at ease?"
"Lord Gongjin!"
Zhu Yan's voice suddenly turned louder, vaguely containing disappointment and anger, which not only made everyone in the room turn around, but also let Gong Jin know that this place could not be solved with simple arguments.
"I am your subordinate, and I will carry out all the orders you give, it is my duty, but it is also my duty to advise you. The shelling of Shangri-La has too much to do with it, it is not only tens of millions of lives underneath, it is said that there are underground ruins in Shangri-La, gathering the energy of the earth in all directions, if the bombardment of the Tongtian cannon causes a chain explosion reaction, the catastrophe will spread to the entire Wind Continent, and the dead are not just tens of millions. Even to do such a massacre in order to destroy the enemy...... I can't let you do something that stinks for thousands of years. ”
Zhu Yan used the word "slaughter" instead of "sacrifice", which was to explain the feeling in his heart, and this righteous indignant statement made the entire main control room silent, and every team member waited with bated breath, wondering about Gong Jin's answer.
And that answer is like a puddle of ice water, extinguishing the flame of righteous indignation.
"The purpose of the existence of soldiers is to win battles. In order to win, sacrifice is inevitable, and there will be no good soldier with clean hands in this world. ”
“...... Even though...... Even if even his own compatriots are sacrificed, is it okay? Among the people below, there must be Eltinos!"
“...... There are always martyrs in war, and if it weren't, it would seem too unfair to people from other countries. ”
The conversation ended here, and the team responsible for operating the protective shield had the courage to make a report, saying that the energy had been fully accumulated and could be activated at any time, and there seemed to be a movement on the ground, and an object was flying towards Jinao Island.
"It's finally here. ”
Gong Jin said lightly and began to walk outside. The battle with Lancelot was all expected, and this monkey king was also a serious threat that could not be ignored, and he must be uprooted while he took the initiative to enter Jinao Island.
"When he entered Jinao Island, he opened the protective shield and no living creature was allowed to enter...... Even if it's your own people. ”
It stands to reason that all the combat manpower that Gong Jin can mobilize is here, whether Shi Chong and Reins are enemies, it is impossible for allies to approach, but Gong Jin ordered this quite seriously, and before he left, the cold light emitted by the eyes of the ice crystals, although it was not aimed at him, made Zhu Yan speechless for a long time.
Flying in mid-air, there was a faint pain all over Lancelot's body, although the Aether Immortal Body had healed the injury, but the Heavenly Demon Energy that had not yet been completely expelled continued to cause pain everywhere in the flesh, but there was no time to sit still at the moment to expel the abnormal energy, so he had to forcibly suppress it, and everything was left to it.
However, compared to those hidden pains, the pain formed by a pair of dark blue eyes really made Lancelot tearful, and he had to wear his original blindfold to cover his ugliness, so as not to take the lead against a strong enemy, a pair of panda eyes took the lead, and before he could make a move, he was already ashamed of the defeat in the shameful laughter of the enemy.
“...... Two mothers-in-law with no conscience, shoot so hard......"
Having said that, Lancelot's mood was very relaxed, just seeing that Nier and Izumi Sakura could have such a tacit understanding and share the same hatred, then there should be no problems getting along between them, and the discord and disagreement he was worried about would disappear invisibly.
Invading Jinao Island is not difficult for Lancelot at all, but no matter how strong his martial arts are, he can't do such a thing as silent and invisible.
Without Gengoro's Jiuyao extreme speed and the magic of teleportation, Lancelot could only fly towards Jinao Island honestly, and only halfway through the flight, there was a scarf wrestler blocking the way, and the ping-pong game was chaotic for a while, which once again triggered a big explosion that was enough to shake the ground, and the whole person broke into Jinao Island so earth-shattering.
Before entering Jinao Island, Lancelot found that a layer of lilac light suddenly rippled in the atmosphere about ten feet away from the outer wall of Jinao Island, and the energy contained was extremely strong, as if it was some kind of defensive light mask or something, sealing his retreat. However, Lancelot didn't think about having reinforcements in the first place, and he didn't plan to retreat, so he just frowned and went directly to Jinao Island.
So far, the Reyns camp has suffered quite a lot when it comes to invading Jinao Island, because they can't get the blueprint of Jinao Island and don't know how to find a target in it. Lancelot also had this problem, but he didn't have to bother to find the location of important facilities, because when he stepped into Jinao Island, the surrounding environment immediately shook, and some kind of spatial shift occurred, and then he came to a secret room where he didn't know where to go.
There was already someone in the chamber, dressed in snow and armed with a sword and a long whip, waiting for him there, the main goal of Lancelot's trip.
It was not the first time that the two of them had met, even if they put aside the karma of Hangzhou that day, when Lancelot ascended the throne as emperor under Ji, they also met with Zhou Gongjin for a secret conversation, at that time Zhou Gongjin brought a coffin loaded with Haijiaxuan's crazy battle body, as a secret weapon, came to Jixia, and prepared that if things didn't go well, he would release this soulless, purely controlled by the spell of a powerful puppet, and kill him, but later due to the arrival of Wang Wu and Dongfang Xuanlong, the situation was suppressed, and Gongjin chose to go without a fight.
After such a long time, the two met again, the hostile relationship remained the same, but the strength and status of the two sides changed greatly, and the hatred contained in the hostility was only deeper.
"It's been a long time since we've met, and it seems that governing the military and government of a country has made you much calmer, but if you had accepted my proposal at the beginning, maybe this land would not have become this field today. ”
The first to speak was Gong Jin, who is not a person who likes nonsense, but he does have some feelings. During the secret meeting with Lancelot's accession to the throne, he asked Lancelot to renounce his hostility to Altino and promised to exchange a large amount of financial aid and benefits in exchange for peace between the two countries, but Lancelot refused, and from that moment on, Lancelot and Gongjin ...... The war between Reins and Altino was already doomed.
"Laughing to death, what you have done is actually on the heads of others, did I force you to start a continental war? If you want to blame, blame your teacher when you were a child for not teaching you well...... Well, it's true, your teacher did teach you weirdly. ”
"You should be thankful to him, he never intended to kill you, or you wouldn't have survived today. ”
"Oh? This thing is very interesting, and it is also your theory of tempering and becoming a talent in the White Deer Cave? Because you want to cultivate someone to become a talent, so let him be tempered to the fullest, and he can't survive or die, so that he will become a talent? You have cultivated me as a big man, should I say thank you? You dead ladyboy looks like a yin and yang, are you also trained by this kind of elite education?"
Among the six disciples of White Deer Cave, Lancelot was very familiar with Li Yu and Quan Ying, and he had long understood Lu You's policy of cultivating disciples, but now when he heard Gong Jin say this, he didn't feel happy at all.
Izumi Sakura's gratitude for her teacher's kindness, coupled with her soft personality and strong personality, made her not react much when facing her teacher at first, despite her indignation, but Lancelot was in a completely different situation.
"As the protector of Altinor, but let the two groups of scum of the Hua family and the Shi family do anything on the land, those hungry people should really thank you for letting go of the training;
Lancelot roared out, every inch of muscle on his strong physique, exuding a strong sense of oppression in the angry shouts, even with Gong Jin's calmness, he also felt a kind of fear in the face of the thunderbolt in the clear sky, surprised when this man had been raised to this point, however, Gong Jin's expression did not change, but with a more cold attitude, to face Lancelot's anger.
Don't you think you should ask yourself this sentence? Even if the cannon is fired, the number of people who die here is only tens of millions, but the number of Japanese islands that sink to the bottom of the sea is not less than here...... What qualifications do you want to accuse me?"
One sentence hit the most painful guilt in Lancelot's heart, and he couldn't tell or refute it, so he condensed his anger into his fist and blasted down on the mask that shimmered with metallic light.
When confronting each other, there was still a distance of more than ten feet between the two people, but when Lancelot threw his fist and bombarded, he arrived in front of Gong Jin in an instant, and the speed was so fast that Gong Jin was also taken aback. It is not a perfect body method like Jiuyao's extreme speed, but a rigid footwork that uses explosive power to instantly increase the speed, which is not meticulous, but it is more lethal, especially when Lancelot soars in front of Gong Jin, and the fast speed pushes the power up to a level, pressing Gong Jin like a mountain of mountains, and those who can retreat with this blow are not more than five people in the world.
"Pong!"
The sound of metal crashing echoed through the alloy wall panels in all directions, and Lancelot's fierce punch hit the enemy's face head-on, and the fierce fist power caused Gong Jin's entire body to fall back, and a bloodshot shot spilled into the air.
But...... That's just it.
Although he was beaten on his back, Gong Jin's footsteps stood still, standing steadily, red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but Lancelot's fist strength was like hitting a thick wall, solid and unbreakable, no matter how hard he continued to puff up, he couldn't push his fist forward a single point, and he couldn't even make the metal mask crack a little.
"What a fierce fist...... With the impact power of acceleration, it may be slightly better than Wang Wudu that day...... If Gengoro's sword finger had your kind of lethality, the ending just now might be rewritten......"
Gong Jin's words were not exaggerated, he gave up dodging just now, just to test how much power Lancelot's fist had, but although he had deliberately used his skills to protect himself, he still couldn't turn the power of that punch into invisibility, and after leaning back to unload his strength, his head was still slightly dizzy and the corners of his mouth were cracked. Judging from this point, this man's fist is nothing less than some kind of divine weapon, and it cannot be regarded as an ordinary strong heavenly martial artist.
One punch can't work, Lancelot has already thought about it, although he can't use speed to increase the power of his fist, but taking advantage of the close proximity, he forced the demon thunder and magic lightning to attach to the fist, and the lethality is still strong. However, when Gong Jin's cold words came into his ears, Lancelot suddenly had a very familiar feeling.
“...... However, you also don't have the high level of Tianxin consciousness of Gengoro......"
In the Reynes Civil War, he was once locked by Bai Qi, and even if he had no internal strength, it was difficult to exert a sense of restraint.
All things are locked!
The next moment, Lancelot found himself stiff as a stone, and it was difficult to move even a little finger, while the enemy raised his fist and bombarded him at such close range.
※※※
Seeing Lancelot flying into the sky, Izumi Sakura and Niel were very worried, because Haijiaxuan and Gengoro, two hard hands whose martial arts were not weaker than Lancelot, had no response after they got on Jinao Island, and Jinao Island at this moment was like a bottomless abyss, constantly devouring their relatives and friends, could Lancelot overcome this lingering haze?
After Lancelot successfully entered Jinao Island, the light purple light curtain that enveloped the entire Jinao Island gave them the same sense of foreboding. Zhou Gongjin undoubtedly saw the one thing they were most afraid of: Lancelot was not only the strongest force on the current Reins side, but also the only connection between the many forces within Reins, if Lancelot died on the battlefield, Reins Tiren, who was currently known as the most talented person in the Continent of the Whole Wind, would immediately fall apart, because no one could become the center of connection and balance of various forces like him.
"What's that mask?"
Nile asked this question, and Izumi Sakura didn't know the truth, but replied, "I don't know, I'll go up and have a look!"
"Why are you going and not me? Do you have a higher chance of surviving? Why?"
“...... With the Dragon's Armor, my wisdom...... And you're seriously injured ......"
Izumi Sakura was reluctant to let Niel take risks, at first she was deliberately gentle with the girl, in order not to make Lancelot difficult to become, but now she really likes her, and treats her as a sister who is not related to her, and is willing to rush to take risks for her...... Izumi Sakura believes that although Nier is very hard in words, she is in the same mood as herself, but it is not so easy to convince her who is currently planning to give up on herself and rush to a dangerous place.
The snipe and the clam competed, and the fisherman profited, and before the two of them could discuss who came first, the armored girl next to them had already made a move. Although she doesn't have the power of the Heavenly Rank, she has the combat power equivalent to that of a strong Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, especially when she uses the Physical Honkai Gun, there are really few strong Heavenly Rank Martial Artists who can catch the peak power of that level.
At this time, Ailing was using the Physical Honkai Gun. The dazzling and dazzling light condensed at the sharp edge of the four swords, and then burst out and expanded into a blue-white pillar of light, shooting straight towards the protective shield of Jinao Island.
The bright light that burst out in an instant was a thousand times more brilliant than any fireworks, and the shock wave that hit the ground made the people on the ground stand unsteady, and fell to the ground in a series of roof tiles and archways, but the most surprising thing was not only that, because the pillar of light shot by the four swords not only burst into sparks after touching the protective shield, but then reflected back in a straight line.
"Be careful!"
Niel and Izumi Sakura moved at the same time, but Nier was dragged down by the injury, and only moved slightly, but the pain stopped in place, but Izumi Sakura arrived in time, and pushed the pillar of light that came back diagonally to the other side of the sky, disappearing into invisibility.
Witnessing this scene, the three women were all stunned, that protective shield was not only difficult to break, but also able to rebound the power of the attack, what kind of terrifying force was this?
“...... How much else is hidden on that island?"
No one can answer Nier's question, even Ailing, who is the most proficient in the ancient magic path technology, can't answer this question accurately, but the thing in front of her is very clear, that is, by this protective shield, the people inside can't come out, and the people outside can't get in, this is completely a situation of catching turtles in an urn.
All three wanted to do something, but from the very beginning they realized that they couldn't do anything now. Neither can they help the fighting in Jinao Island, nor can they improve the situation in front of them, and watching the large crowd blindly move in the same direction, they cannot stop the crowd from moving on, nor can they change their destination...... The surging and chaotic crowd of people, like the predetermined fate in front of them, cannot be changed.
Izumi Sakura once wanted to use the singing voice to guide again, but the casting of that spell must be done by an elder of the Qinglou who is skilled in this technique, and there is no such person on the scene at present, just now it was with the help of Youxue's scroll that he completed this large-scale spell song singing, but now he doesn't even know where Youxue has gone.
(Something has to be done, we can't just sit here.) )
Nier and Ailing both have this idea, but just now Lancelot just thought that with the strength of the enemy, the half-tone level of allies would only cause a drag, so they would not let them go to Jinao Island with them, otherwise with Zhou Gongjin's style, he would definitely avoid fighting Lancelot head-on, and first capture or kill a few of his allies, making him extremely disturbed, and he would soon be defeated in battle. Lancelot was sure of that, because if he had been here today, he would have done the same thing...... In many ways, these two are indeed the same kind.
What to do?
Even Izumi Sakura's intelligence is helpless at this time. Maybe I should let Ailing escort the injured Ni'er out of this place first, and I can go to the underground of Shangri-La to see what Shi Chong has buried in it, if I can destroy that thing, at least half of the crisis will be eliminated......
Just as more than a hundred thoughts came to Quan Sakura's mind, thinking about the next decision, suddenly the surrounding scenery was phantom and blurred, Izumi Sakura rubbed her eyes, and when she saw the neighborhood clearly, she found that the place where she was was no longer Shangri-La, but an unknown place.
(What is this place?)
Terraces and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, this seems to be a very elegantly arranged courtyard, but the color of the sky is very strange, it is obviously a starry night sky, but there is a crescent moon as bright as the sun, and the air is also filled with strange fog, as if it does not exist in this world.
Fortunately, he was not alone in facing this change, Niel and Ailing also appeared nearby at the same time, but the originally noisy voices suddenly disappeared, as if there were only three of them left in the entire space.
"Huh...... It's ...... over there."
The mist in the air gradually dissipated, and Ailing first found that there was a gazebo in front of her, in which there was a faint and faint figure, fluttering slowly, although she was just sitting there quietly, but her posture was very elegant and noble, and there was even a trace of indescribable majesty, which quietly penetrated people's hearts.
For women with this temperament, Ailing and Nier only know one person, and for Izumi Sakura, this is a precious reunion after a long absence.
"Miss Grass!"
Crying out with joy, Ailing ran over first, and although Nier, who was making a fuss, did not want to get closer, the situation could not help her, and Ailing, who mistook her for being unable to walk, suddenly ran back, and despite her objections, picked her up and rushed into the pavilion.
Compared to the two of them, Izumi Sakura's movements were very soothing, and she slowly walked into the pavilion, but only she knew that such slow motion was not for the sake of ceremonies, but to suppress her own excitement.
I've heard Nier and Youxue mention it before, although Queen Reyns has passed away, she still continues to be active in Reyns in a spirit state, so there are not many surprises and frightens at this reunion.
Staring at her sitting in the court, like a thrush, she still has such a beautiful face, but compared with the last time she parted, she lost the frizzy feeling of a boy, but added the delicacy of her daughter's family, which should be said to be growth, because now she looks like a blooming flower.
However, this growth is not without a price, is it? Just like myself, how much has happened since the last separation?
"Hello...... Your Majesty Leah. ”
Izumi Sakura wanted to bend down to salute, but was stopped by Xiaocao's hand, and the two touched lightly, and Izumi Sakura found that her fingers had passed through the palm of the other party, and then she realized that her current state was unusual.
"Hello, I'd love to have a good chat with you, but the situation doesn't allow it, as you can see, this is not the real world, it's me who uses magic to enter your consciousness and connect with each other, in this fantasy world, no matter how much we say and how much time it takes, when the spell disintegrates and comes back to reality, you will find that time has not changed. ”
"Oh, so we can relax with a cup of tea now, and then go get some hair done by the way, and then go out when we're comfortable?"
"Don't interrupt, Nil, and you never do hair maintenance. ”
Stopping Niel's words, Izumi Sakura notices that Kokusa's physical condition is very wrong. The white clothes are fluttering, and the shape of the snow-clean clothes like ice gauze is not stable, all of a sudden it is as white as snow, but it is translucent all of a sudden, obviously maintaining the spell she is using now is quite difficult for her, so the spell is so unstable.
Thinking about it this way, Izumi Sakura remembered that Ailing and Nier had argued before that she was in a spirit state to detach from the spirit body again, although I don't know how to do this unreasonable thing, but it is not difficult to imagine that this must be a difficult spell to gamble on her life, so now we must grasp every minute of time, and we must not let her hard work and efforts be in vain.
"Your Majesty, your resourceful name is far and wide, can you give us some guidance at this time?"
It should be possible, because it was by relying on Xiaocao's guidance that Ailing and Nier reversed the crisis respectively, and finally turned the danger into a disaster, Izumi Sakura didn't think that Xiaocao was desperately showing up here, she was here to make tea and chat, and there must be something she wanted to convey to herself, so she appeared here.
However, the words that came out of Xiaocao's mouth were very frustrating and heavy.
"This battle ...... There is no possibility of victory, Zhou Gongjin has broken through the strong heavenly position, has the supreme power in these two thousand years, and the supreme realm of the Zhai heavenly position, no one on our side is invincible, so it is impossible for our husband to win this battle. ”
The word "our husband" sounded a little strange to Nier and Ailing's ears, but they didn't intend to protest at this moment, and Izumi Sakura was entangled in her whole heart, unbelievable what she had just heard, although she had long known that Senior Brother Gongjin was very strong, and with the armed equipment of Jinao Island, he was almost invincible in the world, but she didn't expect that Gongjin had completed a breakthrough beyond her mentor Lu You.
The supreme cultivation of the Zhai Heavenly Position, the current Wind Continent is invincible, and with this peerless power alone, Gong Jin can sweep in all directions, overwhelming and annihilating all the resistance forces head-on. Although Lancelot is tough, he is no different from committing suicide when he challenges Gongjin in the Zhai Heavenly Position alone.
At the thought of this, Izumi Sakura and Neil's faces turned white. However, after suffering countless blows so far tonight, their almost paralyzed nerves were able to calm down quickly.
"The Heavenly Heart Consciousness determines the battle advantage, so there is absolutely no possibility of skipping the level challenge in the Heavenly Rank battle. We all know this very well, but the truth is reasonable, in fact, it should be possible to apply some changes, can Her Majesty Leah show us a way out?"
"That's right, it's impossible to skip the level challenge in the Heavenly Position Battle, but that's just a challenge, and we're not having a martial arts meeting today. My brother often said that there is absolutely no one in the world who can't be killed, as long as we figure out a way, even if it is the great demon god king of the demon clan two thousand years ago, isn't it rumored that he has the power of the Taitian position? ”
Izumi Sakura and Niel are fighting high, which is a happy message in the eyes of the grass, because if they are all overwhelmed by despair, it is impossible to bear the pressure they are about to put on them.
"That's right, simple fighting is different from war, as long as Zhou Gongjin is still a human being, there will be weaknesses, Mr. Gengoro told me that Zhou Gongjin has not been on the throne for a long time, and the operation of power is still impure, not without gaps, but if you want to win by joining forces, you need at least ...... Three people. ”
"Three?"
"Well, there are three martial artists who have the same cultivation and combat power as their husbands, and are at the peak of the Heavenly Rank. ”
Xiaocao's words made the three of them stunned, thinking about the possibility of this matter. Although Reynes's side is known to be full of talents, there are not many people who have actually reached the peak realm of the strong heaven position, leaving aside those who don't know their whereabouts, there are only three people in the strong heaven position here, and Izumi Sakura and Ailing have never had that level of combat power, only Nier, if she is not injured and tired, her threat to Gongjin is indeed not inferior to Lancelot.
"The pinnacle of the strong heavens...... Haijiaxuan's dead imp doesn't know where to go, Dolgon won't help us, and the chires bastard has just been buried by us...... Who else ......"
Niel muttered to herself, but was surprised to find that her companions' eyes were looking at her, and just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, Izumi Sakura had already preemptively asked Kokusa a question.
"Your Majesty Leah, it is rumored that the Royal Family of Reyns has a gifted healing power, if you are the one to heal Niel, then we will ......"
Queen Reins' natural power can heal all injuries in an instant, allowing Niel to regain her rightful combat strength. Izumi Sakura's proposal brought a glimmer of hope to everyone, but Xiaocao's sad shaking of her head obscured this light again.
Existing in the world in the form of a starlight body, Xiaocao's spirit body is still trapped thousands of miles away, and only used the distraction spell to appear here for a short time, and after layers of consumption, her remaining strength can only use the holy power once, but it has been used on Jinao Island just now.
"Even so, Sister Izumi Sakura is not wrong, the key to turning everything around this time is on Nier, as long as you are willing to make sacrifices ruthlessly, there is a way for you to recover from your injuries in a short time and regain your combat strength. ”
Izumi Sakura was startled when she heard this, she knew that Nier had been in danger of giving up on herself recently, and now the most taboo thing was to send her to the front line, fortunately, now she already knew the real reason for her uneasiness, as long as this matter is over, by Lancelot and Gengoro's persuasion, it should be able to make her smile again, but Xiaocao, who doesn't know this, this sentence is just right to the point, what is not easy to say, as soon as she opens her mouth, she actually asks Nier to sacrifice, and what's worse......
"No problem, if there's anything I can do, just tell me. As long as I can help my brother, I am mentally prepared for any sacrifice. ”
As expected, Xiaocao's proposal Nier agreed to it in one bite, and her resolute attitude without hesitation made Izumi Sakura cry out in her heart, and she was about to say something to dissuade her, but Xiaocao had already told Nier how to do it.
"This method can only be used by you, not because you are the most powerful person among us, but because you are the descendant of the Heavenly Demon Skill, because only a master who cultivates the Heavenly Demon Skill can use this method to quickly heal ......"
Hearing Xiaocao say this, Izumi Sakura's delicate body trembled, and vaguely guessed what Xiaocao's life-saving strategy was, this method is indeed feasible, and it is very simple, but due to excessive extremes, it has always been a blind spot in his own thinking before, and now after careful calculation, there is indeed no better way than this.
The reason why the Heavenly Demon Gong has been invincible in the Demon Realm for thousands of years, in addition to its incomparably powerful lethality, another important reason is that it can absorb the essence of biological flesh and blood and strengthen its own body. Two warriors of the same level duel, one of them becomes weaker and weaker the more they fight, and the other can not help but tear and suck the creatures around them, making up for the previous wear and tear, so that in the end, of course, the warrior with almost infinite recovery power will win. Not long ago, Chireth had this plan, but Lancelot was preemptively broken and failed, but Niel could do the same thing.
Shangri-La still has tens of millions of citizens, if this battle is lost, and the cannon bombards the sky, everyone will die, but if Nier is willing to use the Heavenly Demon Skill to absorb the flesh and blood essence of the living, let her injuries heal quickly, and help defeat Zhou Gongjin, then the rest of the people can be saved.
(But...... If she wants to do this, Niel herself is the biggest obstacle, would she be willing to make such a big "sacrifice" in order to win?)
Izumi Sakura was uneasy in her heart, and Nier, who had heard Xiaocao's words, froze for a moment, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to confirm what she had just heard, and when she came back to her senses after a while, she exploded into extraordinary anger and rushed to the pavilion quickly.
However, Xiaocao, who couldn't keep overdrawing his magic power to maintain his appearance, no longer had the ability to continue to appear after barely finishing his words, and before Niel rushed to arrive, the whole person disappeared in an instant along with the gazebo where she was, making Nier pounce.
"Bastard! You crazy woman, what kind of dirty methods are you talking about, you go to die! When you finish speaking, you run, do you have a conscience!"
"Nier, don't do this, I said please don't do this, calm down, okay? She's not here anymore. ”
Bursting into the air, Niel's anger erupted, screaming at the non-existent void, while Izumi Sakura snatched from behind and hugged Niel hard, trying to suppress her anger so that the anger rushing through her head would not worsen her injuries again.
"You told me not to yell? Didn't you hear what the cold-blooded woman just said? Let go of me, don't stop me. ”
"I've heard it all, that's why I want to advise you to calm down, you and she have been with each other, haven't you? Could it be that in your eyes, Her Majesty Leah is a cruel and murderous woman who takes pleasure in killing? You must be presented to you this last plan, how does she feel in her heart? You can't be selfish and completely ignore it!"
Trying her best to suppress Niel's struggles, Izumi Sakura said, "If you can think of any other way, do you think she is willing to be a bad person? Nier, everyone wants to be a good person, but ...... Think for the people who have to be in the bad guys' shoes. ”
In Izumi Sakura's euphemistic persuasion, the effect of the spell was lifted, and the surrounding scene returned to the normal world, just as Xiaocao said, the whole time did not change at all, and Nier finally calmed down, gently broke free of Izumi Sakura's hand, sat down as if tired and helpless, looked up at the surroundings, and groups of people with numb expressions moved towards the concert venue.
Contrary to their own worries, those masses even had joy on their faces, as if they were about to accept the joy of life, not the end.
"What did you say...... I know that, too! However, these people are right now in front of us, they are living people, not numbers! After everyone enters the heavenly position, they have become so strange, they don't care about human life at all, and the net worth and life of these people are easily decided by us irrelevant strangers, is this fair......? If I don't speak for them, then who thinks about where they stand?"
Niel's voice was not impassioned, but it was so heavy that it hit the listener's heart, especially when she pointed to the moving crowd and said in a choked and choked manner, the tired and sad look that made Izumi Sakura so sad that she wanted to turn her head away.
...... Because, while Niel pointed to the crowd and spoke, everyone was still walking straight towards the concert venue, completely ignoring her, and no one noticed that there was a young girl here, who was constantly trying to survive.
"Isn't it because we're fighting the Iron Mask now because he's doing things he shouldn't have done? If we use this method, then how are we different from him? Both sides are heinous villains, who do all kinds of vile and shameless ways to win over each other...... Why does it have to be like this? Can't you do it without getting a miasma? I ...... I hate it......"
Nier held her head in her hands, let her long hair cover her face, and wept uncontrollably, after so many battles, the heroic girl who had been holding on with her perseverance and gritting her teeth finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried uncontrollably.
Izumi pat Nier's back, and what she wanted to say was as high as a mountain, but she couldn't say a word, because it was Nile who could take on this responsibility and had to make a choice, and she couldn't carry this burden for her, no matter what she said, it was just cool words.
(What if it were me?)
Ailing, who witnessed all this, had this question in her heart, purely from a personal point of view, she and Nier had a strong aversion to this matter, but before she could cheer for Nier, a figure appeared in her mind.
...... Carrying an unsheathed long sword, with snow-shiny silver hair fluttering in the wind, he is a lonely and arrogant peerless swordsman.
Although it had been a long time, Ailing seemed to hear his voice and was sneering and whispering in his ear.
"Yes, we all have to be good people and keep the right path, and we must not take half a wrong step and be as bad as Zhou Gongjin's miscellaneous...... So, we just stood by and watched the bad guys kill all these people...... It doesn't matter, even if everyone dies, we are still good people because we have not done bad things. ”
The feeling of sneering sounded very harsh, but Ailing believed that Mr. Mo Wen would have said so if he was here. Because of this, she didn't say anything to Niel, because ......
...... It's a choice that only Niel can make.
※※※
The battle in Jinao Island lasted for a while, although it was a battle of life and death, and both sides of the decisive battle were the best masters in the world today, but this battle did not have much to look forward to, because no matter how you look at it, the outcome of this battle is too obvious.
Gong Jin, who broke through to the Zhai Tian position, and Lancelot, who has the protection of the ether immortal body, both of them have almost endless recovery power, and since tonight, they have both fought fierce battles with great loss, and both of them have fought two tough battles in a row, which is an unexpected coincidence, and in terms of physical and internal strength, Lancelot and Gong Jin are tired.
But this exhaustion does not hinder Gong Jin's advantage. Under the full suppression of his Heavenly Heart Consciousness, Lancelot had no room to fight back, in fact, it was difficult for him to even move, and the Essence Lock easily controlled and restrained his movements, turning Lancelot into a sandbag that could not move, and could only be attacked unilaterally by Gong Jin.
However, Gong Jin, who is standing in the position of the winner, is not completely smooth sailing. There was no doubt that he had the absolute advantage, but this battle gave him the feeling that it was like the most troublesome quagmire battle.
A whip swept through the air, Lancelot, who lost his ability to resist, did not move, and received a whip firmly, the skin and flesh opened, blood splashed, and the crisp and terrible sound of broken bones came from several places on Lancelot's body at the same time, just one whip, the injury was extremely serious, if it weren't for the fact that he still had some of the heavenly demon strength to play a protective role, just this whip, the whole person was beaten into two pieces.
The continuous lash shadow crisscrossed Lancelot's strong body, although it was dense, but it could not exert a lethal effect, because whenever Lancelot was severely injured by the separation of flesh and bones, the Aether Immortal Body would work faster and faster, healing all the injuries and standing intact in front of Gong Jin.
The Immortal Vitality Lock of the Zhai Heavenly Position can block Lancelot's ability to move, almost completely sealing his internal force, making it difficult for him to protect his body, but it can't lock the innate vitality that sustains life, and it can't lock the etheric immortal body with the innate vitality as the root, so a quarter of an hour has passed, and Gong Jin can only stare at the smiling man with fire in his eyes.
"How's it going? Are you tired? Iron-masked ladyboy, I'll lie here and fight you, you can't move! You don't have the strength, do you?"
“...... Human vitality cannot be endless, and you know what the result will be if you are dead like this. ”
The countdown to the cannon sounded at the right time, and Lancelot heard the countdown symbolizing despair, and knew what Gong Jin meant, but he still had a smile on his face, because he believed it very much...... The dawn of hope always comes at the most desperate time.
