Chapter 204: Is it the future, or is it the present
Faced with Scarlet Ji's words, Zhao Zhong was silent.
Not because of his usual character, but because he really doesn't have any words to refute Scarlet Hime. What Scarlet Ji said is right, no matter what the situation is, the recovery of the demon king is definitely not a good thing for human beings, and now, in addition to the earth demon king Diana, it is very likely that another demon king will break through the seal through a magic array and come to this world, and the disaster that will be brought by that time will be unimaginable!
And now, Scarlet Hime's advice to herself is also the most correct, to be able to summon a holy weapon for free 'Crimson Queen', which is the exclusive holy weapon of the Lord of Destruction since ancient times, and it is also the blade of the Demon Slayer Brave! Demon Slayer Brave, as you can know from its name, the owner of the Destruction Shard and the Demon Race are by no means comparable to the other Seven Shard Braves.
Therefore, the immortal demon king may really be defeated under the power of the destruction fragments!
But
I don't know why, at this moment, the words that Feng Weimeng said in Zhao Zhong's mind were clear and incredible, as if he was desperately reminding himself!
What cause and effect will be involved, and what will be the cost?
Scarlet Ji's purpose for letting her come here is very simple, or she should listen to that story and know what kind of price Lin Long paid because of that thought, so that she can understand what the situation is now!
Yes, Lin Long, from the very beginning, Zhao Zhong realized the identity of the young man in the story told by Ye Qi, but in fact, she didn't want to hide it.
In fact, Zhao Zhong deceived Ye Qi and Scarlet Ji, he didn't know the content of the story Ye Qi told, although he already knew some things about Lin Long from Situ Qin'an's side, but not all, at least the cause Zhao Zhong didn't understand at all! What he knew was what Lin Long was carrying when dealing with the catastrophe, and what Situ Da said in his mouth 'the hidden truth'.
But a voice in his heart told him not to understand, once he did, it would be difficult for him to maintain his current decision.
The Destruction Fragment had had a strong reaction more than once, and that was a precaution for Diana! You must know that when he was in Xia City, that slight death breath had caused the Destruction Fragment to vibrate, how could a demon king not let the Fragment run wild?
Zhao Zhong is very aware of the fact that he is a brave man. This is not a responsibility that can be denied or shirked. But Zhao Zhong didn't dare, he didn't dare to respond to this shock, once he obeyed the call of the Destruction Fragment, then what would happen next, what would happen?
It may be that as Scarlet Ji said, he eliminated the demon king who might become the head of the disaster in advance, and got rid of the great tragedy that will occur in the future. But what will he lose, and what will the world change because of this? Zhao Zhong had no way of knowing.
Zhao Zhong himself didn't admit it, but in fact, because of Feng Ruyu's relationship, there has always been a shadow in his heart, and Feng Yimeng also told Zhao Zhong some truth about why Feng Ruyu did such a thing in the first place, but Zhao Zhong still couldn't accept it, because he saw the future, so he chose to erase the dangerous situation in advance!
Zhao Zhong suddenly realized why he was reluctant to accept Scarlet Ji's suggestion, because the situation she was talking about now was not exactly the situation of Feng Ruyu at the beginning? Because she saw a corner of the future, she chose to destroy all the fetters of the present in order to avoid the appearance of this kind of future!
Zhao Zhong's body suddenly relaxed, which was the involuntary behavior of his body after figuring it out. And seeing Zhao Zhong like this, Scarlet Ji was also overjoyed, in her opinion, Zhao Zhong finally figured everything out!
But before she could speak, Zhao Zhong's next words made her suddenly fall from the sky to the bottom.
"I don't need to. Zhao Zhong's voice was very soft, but it had a firmness that he had never felt before, "The meaning of my existence is to face it, not to prevent it." β
"So, you still have to go out, even if another demon king has appeared outside?" Scarlet Hime's tone was difficult to calm down, "Even if the two demon kings outside have joined forces now, they are waiting for you to go out and destroy the hope of mankind?"
Yes, what Scarlet Ji said is not impossible. If Diana really had this kind of thought, then the worst thing about the situation outside now was that the Demon King had appeared, and Diana, who knew her identity, would obviously not let herself go
But!
"I'm going out. Zhao Zhong's tone remained unchanged.
Scarlet was silent, a frustration that could not be communicated, Scarlet had never imagined that she would meet a fool who would be even harder to convince than that idiot!
"Do you know, how many people may be killed by your naΓ―ve behavior?" Scarlet closed her eyes, "You know, your reckless behavior may make you lose more or even everything!"
A pure white road stretches from behind Scarlet Ji to the invisible horizon, and the maple trees around it all wither at this moment, leaving only dead wood full of dead air, and the pure white road has an unimaginable canter.
However, at the moment when the road appeared, Zhao Zhong had already stepped on it, and Zhao Zhong, who was dressed in pure white, seemed to be one with the road at this moment, he was not confused, even if the path he chose was wrong, he thought it was the most suitable for him!
"Finally, I'm asking you a question. Scarlet Ji said softly, but Zhao Zhong still heard her voice and stopped, "Do you know your own identity?"
Zhao Zhong retracted his gaze and continued to move forward until the figure disappeared from the end of the road.
"Aren't you brave!"
In front of the lake, the woman who seemed to be still didn't know when she had come to Scarlet Hime's side, and her eyes looked at the pure white road softly.
"I, did something wrong?" Scarlet Hime's voice was full of doubts, doubts about herself.
"No, you're doing well, at least you've done what I can't. Yeqi stretched out her hand, gently stroked Scarlet Ji's long fiery red hair, and said gently.
"Then I don't understand, why I still can't stop it, so that your purpose in separating me is gone?"
"I don't understand," Ye Qi closed her eyes and shook her head, "Perhaps, this is the choice they want most, even if this kind of mistake is something they will regret in the future, they will not stop at this moment." β
"Why?" whispered Scarlet.
"Perhaps, just because they are all brave. β
Sunset Mountain, in front of the magic array.
The surrounding scenery suddenly distorted, and then as if it had appeared from another world, Zhao Zhong's figure suddenly jumped out of the air.
"Huh?" Zhao Zhong, who thought there might be a fierce battle, raised his head, but saw a man covered in scars leaning against a tree, and the originally sky-high hairstyle also fell down at this moment, covering his eyes so that Zhao Zhong couldn't see his expression.
And next to him was a huge corpse that couldn't be seen clearly, as if it had been torn apart alive by something sharp, which made Zhao Zhong frown.
"Yo, you're back. The man's voice did not have the feeling of being cheap in the past, only an endless mockery, which was not aimed at Zhao Zhong, but mockery of himself.
"Failed?" Zhao Zhong walked in front of the man, although he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he knew very well that this guy was Uhtreid.
"If the enemy is the case, I will win this. Uhtred raised his head, revealing a face that almost made Zhao Zhong feel unfamiliar, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and then pointed behind Zhao Zhong, feeling a little gritted teeth, "That, I didn't dare to make a move." β
"Huh?" For Uhtred's next sentence, Zhao Zhong was obviously stunned.
Zhao Zhong could see that the corpse on the ground was the other saint-level demon clan who had arrived with Chiat at the beginning, Droyas!
"Isn't that weird? When that guy came out, I was so scared that I couldn't even move my hand. Uhtred looked at Zhao Zhong and sneered, "It's not a dimensional thing at all! That guy can't move just by looking at me!"
Zhao Zhong was silent, no matter what, Uhtred's power is the power of the legendary Demon Slayer Tiger, although it is only a mere undefeated level, but with such a inherited power, Uhtred was so scared that he couldn't fight**?
"What about her?" Zhao Zhong turned his head, the magic array was the same as when he left before, but Zhao Zhong could see that the simplest verification method for this magic array to be activated was that the gems around the magic array were already a little gray.
"I don't know, you've been gone for too long, and I can't hold you back until you come back. Uhtred looked depressed, "A lot of things happened along the way, and then an equally strong demon came here with a boy. β
"It's been too long?" Zhao Zhong seemed to have captured something, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How long have I disappeared?"
"I don't know, but it's been at least ten minutes. Uhtred scratched at his neck, there was a slightly rotting wound that seemed to be itchy, at least Uhtred scratched and bled without stopping.
"It's poisonous, don't catch it. Zhao Zhong, who was equipped with ghost medical skills, saw the abnormality of Uhtred's body at a glance, and he didn't care about the time when he disappeared, and when he wanted to treat Uhtred, he was held by Uhtred's hand.
"Do you have it, are you sure to win a demon king?" Uhtred felt a little overstretched, and his voice was a little soft.
Zhao Zhong looked at Uhtred, and a bad thought suddenly surged in his heart.
"Where did I go, I didn't let you kill the violent woman. However, Uhtred seemed to quickly see Zhao Zhong's thoughts, and immediately dispersed the thought in Zhao Zhong's heart, "I really can't do it, I don't even have the strength to move now, let me sleep here for a while, face paralysis brave, then I can really only look at you, but if not, don't force it, after all, I didn't do it either, don't die." β
After saying that, Uhtred fell asleep or fainted directly, his injury was really shocking!
Looking at Uhtred like this, Zhao Zhong didn't know what to say, he spent much longer than he imagined in the space created by the Void Lawlessness, and it seemed that Diana's plan had also failed, and the Xuan Demon King had arrived?
Perhaps, what Scarlet Ji said was right
"Boom!"
Before Zhao Zhong could finish his sentence, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed from the distant sky at an indescribable speed, and it was instant!
Feeling the violent shaking under his feet, an unconcealable smile appeared on Zhao Zhong's face.
"It's finally here. β
"Roar!" A dragon roar came from the sunset mountain, resounding through the heavens and the earth!
