The night was dark and deep.

The cold wind whistled low in the sky.

Bring snowflakes to fall and fall.

In the glade of the forest, the spirit butterfly master mother was dressed in gold armor, and the spirit qi covered in silver armor confronted each other.

Time passed little by little, and neither of them took the lead, but waited quietly for something.

Suddenly, a cold killing machine rose out of thin air.

Turned into snow and light, straight into the sky.

Suddenly, the oppressive atmosphere became even more dreary.

Even the temperature seems to drop suddenly.

Let the two spirit butterflies feel the chill at the same time.

Little by little, time passed.

The murderous chill quietly disappeared.

At this time, the Spirit Butterfly Mother turned her head to look into the distance, and the corners of her lips also provoked a faint smile.

She sighed slowly, "Feeling the gathering of spiritual intent, and then turning into a sharp sword full of murderous intent, he was a little beyond my expectations, I didn't see that the little guy of the low-level sword mantis clan could still use such a method."

But that's it, with the level of strength he just showed, he was invited by you as a helper, which is simply a failure of my cultivation of you in the early stage. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the face of the Spirit Butterfly Mother became more and more intense, "My well-behaved daughter, what are you waiting for, since you have already lured me out of the city, you should directly take my life." ”

"Isn't Mother waiting?"

"Wait for your subordinates to scout the surrounding area before they can determine if there are any enemies hiding on the side other than my daughter."

Lingqi took a deep breath of cold air and slowly exhaled a straight white mist.

She glanced around, "In addition to the eight Praetorian Guards, your most loyal subordinates also include the Five Great Killers, and even the two sages who guarded the secret realm retreat and cultivation have also been successfully recruited by you.

My mother had always been cautious in her work, and it was customary to wait for them to finish their investigation, and then sweep away all the enemies with a thunderous force, leaving me no hope of turning the tables around. ”

"Oh? You know pretty well. ”

The Spirit Butterfly Mother said slowly, her expression thoughtful, "But even so, you still made such a choice, which means that you have found other helpers besides that poor knife mantis.

And in your eyes, the strength of these helpers is very strong, and they can even stop my Praetorian Guard. ”

Lingqi raised her hand to grasp a snowflake, letting it melt quietly between her fingers.

She sighed, "I don't know if they're strong or not, but since they can sit in the position of the High Priest of the Flying Ants and the Seven Star Visionaries, they won't be mediocre hands that can't be put on the table."

Therefore, the daughter was a little curious, if they were compared with the guards of their own clan, who could be stronger. ”

"Not only do you dare to do something to collude with foreigners!?"

"Only by shattering an old world can a new world be built, so everything my daughter does is just to clear the obstacles to the end."

Lingqi lowered her eyes, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in her expression.

"I used the strategy of killing people with a knife to provoke the war between the two clans of the Seven Stars of Flying Ants, and then mixed in to add fuel to the fire, so that the war intensified until it reached an uncontrollable level, in order to play the prelude to breaking the old world.

Moreover, I did the same act of framing you later, and poured all the dirty water on your head, which caused the two tribes to be enraged, and sent their masters to prepare for the surprise assassination. ”

When she said this, she sighed faintly, "Mother thought that I had only found one helper from him, but she never thought that as long as the means were used properly, I could rest assured that I could boldly drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

As for Yuan Yi Dao Mantis, although he didn't know about my follow-up arrangements, he should be happy to teach a disciple like me, so even if something happened here, he should be satisfied. ”

The Spirit Butterfly Mother listened silently, her eyes and expressions changing until she finally calmed down.

"It's really a bit beyond my expectations that you can think about such complex things, and it also surprises me a lot."

"It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Jiu, what you just said made me learn a lot, and it will even take a lot of time to savor and ponder in the future."

"However, no matter how you plan and plan, it will ultimately depend on the outcome of the battle between you and me."

"So, it's up to me, the mother, to teach you the most important lesson."

That is, in the face of absolute strength, all the tricks are useless.

It's like this layer of snowflakes that accumulate on the ground, and as long as you wait for the sun to rise, it will melt irresistibly and quickly. ”

She said with a blank face, slowly grasping the hilt of the sword at her waist, and then pulling it out little by little.

The spiritual will quickly condensed and skyrocketed.

The golden blade lit up with a brilliant light.

From a distance, it is like a rising sun in the forest.

"What my mother said to me is exactly what my daughter wants to say to you."

Lingqi also drew the long sword on his waist, "You are not in the main city, you have lost the secret realm bonus, if it is purely in terms of strength, I don't know if you can be regarded as the number one master of your clan, let alone if it will be my current opponent." ”

Rumble!

Suddenly, the spiritual consciousness surged, surrounding Lingqi's body.

Franticly converging towards the silver long sword in her hand, shining with an increasingly brilliant silver brilliance, competing with the golden light like the great sun, and even not falling behind at all.

"You've had such horrible growth."

"However, I stood out from many sisters in the previous generation and became the contemporary housemother of the Spirit Butterfly Clan, and I already have a talent beyond the ordinary!"

Rumble!

Both figures disappeared at the same time.

They collided again in the middle of the glade.

Each of them was wrapped in majestic spiritual intent, turning into a golden and silver glow, wantonly releasing their own power in the night.

In an instant, large snowflakes melted directly.

Even the darkness that enveloped the heavens and the earth seemed to be torn open with a huge wound at this time.

Then the trees toppled and the earth cracked.

There was also a stronger and stronger shock wave, which swept and spread in all directions with the two people as the center.

At the moment when the two sides began to collide violently, the jungle in the distance also erupted with powerful spiritual intent.

Spirit butterflies, seven stars, flying ants.

The three races and dozens of auras are intertwined and entangled, mixed in one place, almost indistinguishable from each other.

It was mixed with an extremely cold killing machine, which appeared at the same time as various spiritual intentions.

Rumble!

The Butterfly Mother and Lingqi are separated to the sides.

Immediately, with more rapid speed and more violent force, he struck forward, and collided head-on again in a messy glade.

But the jungle in the distance fell silent.

It seems that after a head-to-head confrontation between the elites of various races, the two sides chose to die at the same time, and there is no intention of continuing to fight to the death.

At this moment, whether it is Lingqi or Lingdie's mother, there are doubts rising in their hearts.

I don't know why the battle in another place was directly declared out as soon as it started.

But in this kind of life-and-death battle, they have no time to take care of such small things.

Both sides have long since abandoned all distractions, and some are only the purest thoughts.

There is no ego in his eyes, no enemies, not even victory or defeat, only all his strength to drive the spiritual will to burst out of all his power.

In an instant, the two collided more than a hundred times.

Every time, it is a complete head-to-head confrontation.

It's like a battle of ideas, and no one will have any sense of retreat and forbearance.

In this case, whether it is Lingqi or Lingdie Master, as long as they dare to take a step back, or even as long as the idea of retreating rises slightly in their hearts, they may be defeated, and it is difficult to turn the tables again.

Especially the spirit butterfly housemother, the talent and strength that she has always been proud of, was rebelled against by her daughter, who violated the rules of the clan, which was completely unacceptable to her.

So she can't even retreat.

As long as you retreat, it will definitely plummet, and your soul will inevitably be broken through a crack, and you will even be forced to cut off the connection with the secret realm, and you will be terribly attacked from the spirit to the body.

Another time two swords intersected.

The two figures staggered back at the same time.

One tumbled into a deep pit.

The other slammed through the canopy of the fallen tree, leaving a trail of blood along the way, and disappeared into the dark and snowy night.

Little by little, time passed.

The forest was a mess and silent.

I don't know how long later.

The spirit butterfly master mother crawled out of the pit step by step with her sword on the ground.

Not far ahead, Lingqi swung his sword to cut through the branches that stood in front of him, and returned to where he had stood at the beginning.

"I thought that after this period of crazy killing and accumulation, my strength has surpassed that of my mother without the blessing of the secret realm."

Lingqi looked down at the broken silver armor on her body, and raised her hand to wipe away a wisp of blood that overflowed from her lips.

She sighed lowly, "Now it seems that I still overestimated myself and underestimated my mother's true heritage. ”

"Without entering the secret realm to cultivate, you can still force me into such a situation, Xiao Jiu, you are what amaze me the most."

The Spirit Butterfly Mistress struggled to calm her breathing, and a trace of unease flashed in her heart.

It has even begun to retreat.

If she continues to fight like this, she can take down this disobedient daughter, but she will inevitably suffer a lot of injuries.

If you add to this the impact on the body after the previous birth, even if you win, it will leave quite serious sequelae.

What's more, from the time they met to the present, from the beginning of the exchange to the later fight, it has not been a short period of time, but the result has not yet waited for the arrival of those subordinates.

Could it be that they were really stopped by the High Priestess of the Flying Ants, the Seven Star Visionalist, and unfortunately lost in the confrontation, so they couldn't come in the first place?

If this is the case, then what she has to consider is not whether it is worth paying the price to take Xiao Jiu down, but how to escape.

However, the silence in the forest made her hesitate.

For a while, I couldn't figure out why it was so quiet if the two sides had really met, as if there had been no fight at all.

Not far from the opposite, Lingqi was smiling on the surface, but deep down there was also a large haze.

Compared to the loyalty of the Spirit Butterfly Master's subordinates, she knew that the High Priestess of the Flying Ants, the Seven Star Visionalist and herself were by no means allies with one heart, and she had to be on guard against their backstabs at all times, so she made more than one action plan.

However, this situation is too strange now, but it is far from what she wants.

The most important problem is that the surroundings are so quiet.

Just after the manifestation of the spiritual consciousness just now, there was no sound of any battle at all.

This strange situation made the two who had just experienced a fierce confrontation feel surprised and surprised, and they were eager to find out what was going on.

A little further away.

In the middle of another glade.

Wei Tao stretched his increasingly strong and hideous body, and looked down at the few insects that were sitting on the ground motionless.

Tick!

Tick tock!

Blood slid down the blades from the two Death Scythes, dripping to the ground, mixing with the large area of dark red around it, looking like a bloody and tragic abyssal purgatory.

"I don't know if I underestimated myself or overestimated your strength, which caused me to shrink into the room until now, and I dared to come out and really face the reality."

He was silent for a moment, then sighed slowly.

"And then, that's the reality?"

"The so-called Spirit Butterfly Guard, Flying Ant Sacrifice, and the Seven Star Visionalist, the name sounds loud, but it turns out to make me quite speechless and disappointed.

I thought that you gathered spiritual consciousness and flew to the sky, how powerful you could be, and even I couldn't stop it when you really fought. ”

"I'm so disappointed, really, you're so disappointed in me."

Click!

As he spoke, the scythe plunged down and stabbed into the chest of a corpse.

Then easily pick it up and put it in your mouth to chew slowly.

A series of crunching sounds were heard.

With the sound of puffing out.

After a moment, a deep voice sounded slowly again, and there was a sigh with some emotion.

"I have to say that the Seven Stars taste good, and they have a special sweet taste when chewed.

The only fly in the ointment is that the carapace that grows on the back of the chest is as troublesome as eating melon seeds and having to eat the skin. ”

Click!

The sharp scythe fell again.

Provoke a flying ant clan sacrifice with a missing arm.

Then there was another chewing sound, breaking the silence of the night once again.

"Well, this ant power god is better."

"Although the taste is a little bitter, the good thing is that it is more nutritious, and it is simply a highly concentrated white spirit fruit."

In the middle of the broken corpses with stumps and severed arms all over the ground, the only remaining Spirit Butterfly Guards and Flying Ant Sacrifices were launched, as if facing a hideous and terrifying demon, which had been completely shocked and frightened.

"Worm Throat, Worm Throat, you are Worm Throat!"

The flying ant sacrifice lost its soul and muttered to itself.

Turning over and over, there are only two words out of the mouth.

"Throat?"

"What's it again?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly showed a sudden expression.

"I remember, when I was in the divination house, I accidentally looked through a dilapidated ancient book, which seemed to mention the name of the throat."

"But, is there a problem with your eyes, the throat is obviously the name of the demon in ancient times, and it has nothing to do with me, a red-rooted sword mantis."

Wei Tao said casually, chewing and swallowing.

Soon a relatively intact corpse will be sent into the stomach.

"Throat, Throat ......"

The flying ants were blinded, as if they hadn't heard what he was saying, and kept repeating the two words there.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his expression was quite speechless, "This sacrifice of the Flying Ant Clan, isn't he a fool?" ”

"I was going to ask you some questions, but now it seems that there is no need for that."

Click!

Another flash of cold light.

The flying ant sacrifice subconsciously lowered his head, looking at the sharp arthropod that pierced him, as if he had suddenly returned to clarity at this moment.

His lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was choked by a large cloud of blood, and he couldn't even get a word out of his mouth.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The tooth-aching chewing sound rang out again.

After a moment, Wei Tao slowly exhaled a turbid breath and turned his head to look into the distance where the golden glow began to shine again.

"In this way, it seems that the battle between mother and daughter will continue for some time."

He withdrew his gaze, and his gaze fell on the limp old man of the Spirit Butterfly.

"Since Lingqi said that I should delay as much as possible, then we have plenty of time to chat."

After a pause, he organized his words again, "As the guard of the Spirit Butterfly Mistress, you should know a lot about the secret realm, so take this opportunity to tell me everything in detail." ”

Phew!

Blood splattered.

The old man of the Spirit Butterfly had a big hole in his chest, and his flesh and blood were already blurred, and he was in a mess.

"Even if the old man dies, he will not betray the master......"

He smiled dismally, "What's more, you, a sword mantis with low blood, even want me to betray the clan, it's just wishful thinking!" ”

"Your stubbornness that is not even afraid of life and death is sometimes very helpless when it comes to dealing with them."

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and slowly raised his blood-drenched front paws, "To show my respect, I decided to chew two more times while eating you, so that you can better digest it in my belly." ”

Click!

When the words fell, he bit down.

At the same time, a loud roar erupted from afar.

The gold and silver rays intertwined, forming a pillar of light that soared into the sky.

A huge shockwave then surged in, uprooting large swaths of trees in an instant.

Even the ground has been scraped off, revealing the soil underneath that has not yet been completely frozen.

I don't know how long it has been.

Maybe it's just a moment.

Suddenly, all light vanished.

All sounds were gone.

The whole jungle was dead silent.

The face of the Spirit Butterfly Mother was gloomy, coughing up mouthfuls of blood from time to time, and staggering forward on the ground full of ravines.

She was seriously injured, and with all her strength, she could barely support her body, staggering forward slowly.

It wasn't a long journey, but it took her a long time to finish, and finally stopped in front of a small slope made of broken stones and trees.

The Spirit Butterfly Mother took a deep breath and sniffed the smell of blood, bringing an inexplicable sweet smell.

A slender figure sat quietly, leaning against the trunk of a crooked and broken tree.

She looked up with some difficulty, looked in the direction where the footsteps had stopped, and sighed lowly.

"I thought that after a crazy ascension, I could already face my mother head-on, but I didn't expect to be defeated by you."

"You're good, even more talented than me."

The Spirit Butterfly Master's voice was hoarse, no longer warm and soft as before, "If you can also accept the power inheritance of the secret realm, I will definitely not be your opponent."

But it's a pity that your strength, which has been accumulated with a lot of resources, still can't compete with the power of the secret realm inheritance after all. ”

"He told me a long time ago that victory is victory, defeat is defeat, and there are no ifs in the world."

Lingqi gasped, blood gushing out of her seven orifices, "I ended up losing at your hands, and this is the reality I have to face." ”

"Who is he, that unusual mantis?"

The Spirit Butterfly Mother looked down with a smile on her face, "He should be gone too." ”

Lingqi nodded, "Yes, he is no longer here, and in the face of so many powerful enemies, he will naturally die in Huangquan." ”

"Actually, I'm a little curious."

The Spirit Butterfly Mother frowned slightly, "Why did you become like this, is it because of that sword mantis?" ”

Without waiting for Lingqi to respond, she sighed faintly, "But it doesn't matter, anyway, you will all die tonight, and everything after that will return to dust and dust, and it has nothing to do with you anymore." ”

Speaking of this, the Spirit Butterfly Mother slowly raised her golden sword and aimed it at Lingqi's defenseless vital point.

She took a deep breath and didn't hesitate to stab the long sword in her hand.

Swish!

The golden light lit up, but it directly converged into the invisible.

She was shocked in her heart, and subconsciously turned her head to look, but she saw a pair of eyes shining in the dark.

Complementing the huge scythe that had been attached to the front, they were all shining with an incomparably cold light.

"You ......"

The Spirit Butterfly Mistress opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but her mind was blank because of great fear, and she couldn't even say a word.

Next to the mound, Lingqi closed her eyes, even though she was strongly unwilling, she could only passively welcome the arrival of death.

Phew!

She heard the sound of a blade sprinting into flesh.

There was also warm blood, which also splashed out violently at this moment.

"Is this what death feels like?"

"It doesn't seem to feel any different, even when the long sword pierces the body, there is no pain."

Lingqi's eyes were closed, waiting for her consciousness to fall into darkness.

Little by little, time passed.

But she has always maintained the ability to think.

I even heard the sound of chewing and swallowing, which kept ringing in front of me.

Lingqi was puzzled, and subconsciously opened her eyes to look.

As far as the eye could see, there was a very familiar figure, swallowing the last bit of blood in his mouth.

"You, you, you're still alive."

She was incoherent, her mind almost blank, "Or is it that I'm actually dead, and this is the afterlife?" ”

Wei Tao sighed, "I'm still alive, you are naturally alive, the world after death is empty and empty, how can there be such a rich perception now." ”

Lingqi subconsciously asked, "What about the mastermother, she was still here just now, and she was about to take my life." ”

"Your Majesty is also here now, and the displacement is definitely no more than two feet away."

Wei Tao wiped away the remaining blood on his lips, "Her luck is not good, she dared to stay here after being so seriously injured, so it is also appropriate for me to pick up and kill her." ”

Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Your Majesty Lingqi, since all the plans have been successfully completed, I hope you don't forget what you promised me." ”

………………

……………………

The cold wind is howling and the snow is falling.

The whole world is white.

The interior of the main city is as warm as spring, and there is not a single snowflake falling.

For Lingdie, who is afraid of cold by nature, the effort spent on heating is no less than all military affairs.

Led by the two Spirit Butterfly attendants, Wei Tao came to the spire hall in the center of the city for the first time.

The attendants stopped in front of the temple.

Wei Tao pushed the door open and entered the dark and gloomy hall alone.

"Yuan Yi has seen His Majesty Lingqi."

At a distance, he bowed slightly.

"Yuan Yi."

A faint sigh came from behind the curtains.

There was a hint of tiredness in his voice, "You're the chief soothsayer now, and you don't need to salute like this even if you do." ”

"The etiquette that should be there should still not be neglected, after all, now I am not facing the former Nine Highnesses, but the entire Spirit Butterfly Clan's Master Mother, Her Majesty."

Wei Tao straightened up, his gaze penetrated the translucent curtain, and landed on the slender figure, "Your Majesty called me over this time, is it going to take me to the secret realm for a look?" ”

"Secret Realm, now is not the time to take you in, because I have not really inherited the power inheritance of the Secret Realm, if I take you over at this time, it will be very likely to cause an attack from the Secret Realm."

"In addition, I promised Mr. Yuan Yi that the highest secret method of my own clan also needs to be fully inherited before I can describe it to you in detail."

"So I specially called Mr. Yuanyi over, in fact, I just haven't seen you for a while, and I just want to talk to you."

Lingqi said as she slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

She was only wearing an almost transparent gauze skirt on her body, and her slender figure loomed, which attracted attention.

"What does Your Majesty want to talk about?"

Wei Tao looked away with just one glance, his gaze tracing the path of the spiritual intent in his perception, and finally crossed her body and looked into the darker depths of the hall.

Vaguely, he heard the muffled roar of the beast again.

It was as if it was coming from the depths of darkness.

Lingqi was silent for a moment and sighed again, "Although we have known each other for a long time, in my eyes, Mr. Yuan Yi has always been so mysterious, as if he was shrouded in a heavy fog, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the true face hidden inside.

So, I've always been a little curious, I want to know the ultimate purpose of what Mr. Yuanyi did, and what kind of thing is the ideal you want to accomplish the most? ”

Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he keenly captured the fleeting killing opportunity.

Do you feel that he knows too many secrets and has become a potential threat, so he has the idea of doing it?

But this is also normal, after all, no matter how tight the mouth is, it can't compare to the dead man's silence.

And she hides her emotions very well.

If he hadn't practiced the Sancai Killing Sword and was extremely sensitive to the hidden killing intentions, it might have been really difficult to really find the problem under the spiritual intent in the hall.

Lingqi, she's such a good student.

Whether it is execution or comprehension, it has exceeded his original expectations.

Wei Tao thought a little distractedly, but his mood was peaceful.

"What do I most want to accomplish?"

He exhaled softly, closed his eyes and sighed, "What I want to do most is naturally to return to my hometown and find my long-separated relatives and friends." ”

"But it's not easy, if not very difficult.

Because before I can go back to my hometown, I have to deal with a huge problem so that I don't pose too much danger to the people who live there.

In this way, with my own strength, I don't know how long it will take to accumulate enough resources to raise the level of strength to the point where I can crush and break the danger to fulfill this most important dream for me. ”

"Is your dream just to return to your hometown......

Lingqi was silent, and the killing intent that was originally hidden was very deep at this time, and it quietly disappeared at this time.

I don't know if it's really gone, or if it's hidden deeper by her.
