Chapter 45: Win-Win?
Xiao Zeyao, like a king, vigorously modified the laws in the "Dao Rule Domain" and forcibly erased the lethal effect of the "Ghost Killing Talisman" on ghosts.
When the ghosts in the entire Yishui County were ruthlessly eliminated and turned into ashes, he stood safe and sound in the firelight.
But his expression was more solemn than before.
"This bastard is really generous," he commented angrily in his heart, "There are so many sigils, and he is willing to take them out and use them all at once." ”
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
In Xiao Zeyao's eyes, the power of a "ghost killing talisman" may be as insignificant as being bitten by a small bug.
But tens of thousands of ghost-killing talismans are like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed.
He could clearly feel that the power in his body was rapidly dissipating, like a water tank with a big hole in the bottom.
Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Zeyao was overwhelmed by the "Ghost Killing Talisman", Gu Xu quickly silently recited the "Please God Mantra" in his heart.
And Luo Chuan, who was far away in the sky, did not hesitate, and happily let the "Ziwei Emperor" take away all the true yuan in his body without any left.
Gu Xu's aura rose rapidly in an instant.
His meridians are like a low-lying river in the dry season. At this time, it rained heavily from the sky—no, it should have been the water of the Milky Way pouring down from the Nine Heavens, filling his meridians with a bang, booming, crashing on the shore, and rushing towards the East China Sea with the momentum of thunder.
He felt powerful like never before. Compared with the last time he lent his body to the remnant soul of Emperor Ziwei, this time he personally controlled his body, and his feelings were more intuitive and clearer.
It was as if he had suddenly become the master of the world, and the lives and deaths of all the beings around him were all in his thoughts.
But at the same time, he also deeply realized the fragility of his body.
It's like a tattered sheepskin bag filled with boiling water, ready to burst at any moment.
Gu Xu finally understood the attitude of the remnant soul of the Ziwei Emperor towards this body with a disgusted face.
He also dislikes him.
Then Gu Xu condensed his mind and cast a spell again.
The dark night, the bluestone pavement under your feet, the hedges on both sides, the ever-warming air, and the cicadas in the shade of the trees in the distance...... This moment became his firewood.
Instantly, the fire was blazing.
Like a dancer in a red, orange and yellow skirt, she writhes enchantingly in the dark night, casting bright and dreamy light and shadow.
"Xiao Zeyao," he smiled and calmly called out his opponent's name, "I know you must be tempted to completely get rid of the control of 'Taishang Haotian'.
"Let me help you!"
The bright firelight rushed into the sky the moment his words fell, enveloping Xiao Zeyao, who was busy fighting wits and courage with the "Ghost Slaying Talisman". The whole alley is illuminated as bright as day.
The fourth type of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", "salary".
Taken from the meaning of "passing on the torch", it represents "inheritance" and "connection".
It can be cut off, and it can be built.
On the day of the Luoshui Conference, Gu Xu used this trick when dealing with Hu Yun, who was turned into a "ghost attendant" by the ghost king of Bishan.
The so-called "ghost servant" can be regarded as a doppelganger of the Ghost King of the Mountain to a certain extent, and the body of the Ghost King of the Mountain can descend on them at any time.
With the "salary", Gu Xu can cut off the link between the ghost king of Bishan and the "ghost attendants", so that the power of the ghost king of Bishan cannot support the "ghost attendants" in time.
After absorbing the memory of Emperor Ziwei, Gu Xu's understanding of the way of cause and effect has been greatly improved, and the formula of "salary" has made a qualitative leap in his hands, which is closer to the essence of the avenue and more in line with it.
Even Xiao Zeyao, who had once been in the eighth realm, didn't dare to say that he knew cause and effect better than him.
What Xiao Zeyao couldn't do by himself, Gu Xu decided to help him do it himself.
Maybe it's because Gu Xu shot too fast.
Maybe it's because I'm a little embarrassed by the "ghost killing talisman".
Or maybe it's because I'm happy to see it happen.
For the "salary" formula, Xiao Zeyao didn't have time to resist at all—or rather, he simply gave up resisting and let the bright fire engulf his body.
…………
Space of consciousness.
Xiao Zeyao was still wearing shackles, confronting the will of Taihang Haotian on the high seat.
The former stared down at the ground, a playful smile on his lips, while the latter had an expressionless face, like a statue without mood swings.
Suddenly, Xiao Zeyao raised his head and said to the figure shrouded in golden light on the high seat: "Goodbye, bastard!" ”
I saw the mountains shake for a while, and the long staircase shook violently like a great earthquake.
Black cracks appeared in the void, dense like cobwebs, and then joined together.
The entire space of consciousness began to crumble and shatter.
The shackles on Xiao Zeyao's body are also getting lighter and lighter like smoke, and they may disappear completely at any time.
It can be seen that Xiao Zeyao's ghost body is breaking away from the control of Taishang Haotian's will and becoming an independent individual.
"Huh? Won't you stop me? ”
Xiao Zeyao looked at the indifferent Taishang Haotian projection on the high seat, and felt a little surprised.
Gu Xu wanted to take this opportunity to cut off the causal connection between Xiao Zeyao and Taishang Haotian's projection, so as to avoid Taishang Haotian suddenly coming and turning the one-on-one life-and-death battle into a one-on-two dilemma.
Xiao Zeyao once used the curse technique of penance for many years to bind the fate of his human body and the ghost body, making it impossible for Taishang Haotian to directly kill him, but this also made him and Taishang Haotian have an unbreakable bond between him and Taishang Haotian's projection, and he couldn't get rid of Taishang Haotian's control over him.
He and Taishang Haotian are both insiders, and neither of them can lift this shackle.
It can only be broken by external forces.
Now Gu Xu wants to help him cut off the bonds, which is in his arms.
The two "tacitly cooperated" and smashed this cage of consciousness to smithereens in an instant.
It can be described as a "win-win".
It stands to reason that in this tense game, there is only one loser, and that is Taishang Haotian Projection, which repeatedly expresses its distrust of Xiao Zeyao, but will lose control of Xiao Zeyao.
At the same time, Xiao Zeyao also left Luojing City far away, leaving the attack range of the Heavenly Dragon Array and the "Tai'a Sword".
Taishang Haotian Projection can no longer easily grasp the life and death of Xiao Zeyao's ghost body as before.
Xiao Zeyao can find a place to hide and secretly accumulate strength. You can even join the rebels, collude with Gu Xu, and kill back to Luojing to find Taishang Haotian to avenge the seizure of the year.
But the question is, the fetters are cut off, the shackles are broken, why doesn't the will of Taishang Haotian stop it at all?
Is it because he hasn't fully regained his strength after summoning the Heavenly Thunder?
Or is it because He actually wants to see it happen?
Xiao Zeyao couldn't figure it out.
But to be able to get out of this long-term control is a good thing for him after all.
"Ziwei, Ziwei, what happened to you using the 'Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique' for a while? Tell me about it? ”
When the firelight around him gradually faded, Xiao Zeyao smiled and asked Gu Xu.
However, before Gu Xu could answer, a thick and strange black mist burst out of his palm, and then turned into nine hideous-looking dragons and flew straight towards Gu Xu.
