There was a soft thud.

A soft sound that shouldn't have been at this point in time, shouldn't have been at this point.

Because this is the palace of his heart, his despair, his fear. His time here will always stay at the moment before Zhao Yingkong pushed the door in, because just like he didn't dare to face his sister in the past, he is not ready to talk to Zhao Yingkong in the real sense now.

But there was a knock at the door.

Little by little, he turned his head and stared incredulously in the direction where the door was.

Zhao Yingkong was there.

It was the Zhao Yingkong he was familiar with.

She carried a training dagger and wore the same Assassin outfit she had worn on the island. Her expression seemed to be smiling, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, but her eyes were as cold as frost.

She stepped forward, into this atrium that no outsider should have set foot in. With every step she took forward, he subconsciously wanted to step back.

I just wanted to, and I didn't retreat.

But it's not even a struggle.

"Long time no see, brother." Zhao Yingkong in front of him had a familiar tone.

"Sakura ......"

'Bell——! The blade of the sword slashed.

Zhao Weikong subconsciously blocked, and the moment he instinctively defended, another training sword of the same style was already in his hand. He narrowly blocked the blow, but the sharp sword wind cut a small wound on his cheek.

This is the Palace of the Heart, his home turf. He can become strong enough here, just because the strength of the heart is the strength here.

But this is simply an ordinary person's level, a novice assassin's general blow. He could barely stop it.

"You've disappointed me." Zhao Yingkong's tone, as always. She quickly reversed her pace, her body drew an elegant angle, and stabbed Zhao Fukong's heart again from the other direction. "I thought you would be able to grow, but I didn't expect you to be worse than Ruikong. She would at least be able to make up her mind to resist me. And ...... You can't even make me find anything that I can call a measure. ”

Swords, chain collisions. Every time, a touch of blood was brought up on Zhao Fukong's body.

Sakura ...... "He gritted his teeth hard." …… You shouldn't be here. ”

He had a terrible imagination in his mind.

"I shouldn't." But the sword responded to him quickly, and this response almost pierced his heart. "I'm not a psychic person, and I haven't mastered the skills of heart-to-heart communication. I can't get into your heart because I couldn't have done it in the first place. ”

Zhao Yingkong's speed of speech was not hurried.

Zhao Yingkong's pace was unhurried.

"But you can- remember how you killed Ruikong in the first place? You use your mind to tune in with her, simulating her spirit and thus leapfrogging her mind manipulation and plunging the sword into her throat. Although Ruikong didn't know how much water he put in order to let you succeed at that time, your thinking pattern did have something in common with Ruikong. And the remnants of the void are also here. ”

Zhao Fukong pursed his lips.

She was right, he subconsciously simulated Ruikong's thinking. So that the mind is open to the dregs of the void at a close enough distance. And Rui Kong and Sakura Kong are now one. The door left for Rui Kong, Sakura was naturally able to easily cross it.

But it's not really a problem – it's the door he opens, it's his synchronized spiritual thoughts. And Zhao Yingkong himself does not possess this type of power. And this also means that as long as he changes his way of thinking slightly, as long as he cancels the analog tone, then Zhao Yingkong in front of him will be ejected from his heart palace in an instant, and return to the place where she was supposed to stay.

All it takes is one thought.

But...... She still stood in this familiar and unfamiliar hall.

Wielding a sword that was too clumsy for an assassin, but each sword left him in danger and nearly to death.

"You see, you can't even do that." Zhao Yingkong laughed softly.

He didn't answer, just grudgingly coped with her. Perhaps because his mind calmed down a lot, he gradually did not add more and more serious injuries to his body.

"I'm sorry......" He hesitated for a long time, and then only said that. Brother has let you down...... I haven't been able to find a cure for you. Everyone...... I didn't protect it either. ”

His heart became heavy.

The court of the heart has collapsed and decayed, and the entire battlefield is gently shaking.

Because before Zhao Yingkong spoke, he already knew the answer.

"That's true." Zhao Yingkong's voice showed no signs of softening or softening. "And, in fact, you can't be useful."

“…… Why? ”

"Ruikong made the arrangements before leaving, and she used her methods to prepare a good prescription for me. My inner flaws are gone, as long as I find the right moment to prepare a shell that satisfies me. ”

She didn't lie - Zhao Yukong's home privilege told him the truth in this instant.

There was some ambiguity in her words, and she didn't tell the whole story—the home privilege also told him the secret. But his heart was already filled with despair.

The Palace of Hearts shook even more violently, the ceiling was full of cracks, and small bricks and tiles fell. They hit the ground and shattered.

He kind of hated his home privilege because he got the truth he didn't want to know. Zhao Yingkong in front of him did look at him with disgust and disgust.

He has been, not needed.

"That'...... Very good. He didn't even know what to say.

"But I'm still disappointed. You made me sleep when my brothers and sisters needed me most. You have deprived me of everything I cherish and value, and I have been unable to do anything. And you like this, but you still dare to appear in front of me, you don't even have a plan but you want to be good to me. I guess if I hadn't woken up, you'd have met Ruikong. Are you still planning to decapitate her and save her from her future out-of-control and depraved fate? ”

He fell silent.

Silence is a dagger.

Because it was so real, it could easily pierce his heart.

The training short sword in Zhao Yingkong's hand pierced Zhao Yingkong's heart.

"I'm sorry...... he almost, didn't dare to look at her. Brother...... I...... Nothing was done. ”

Zhao Yingkong pulled out the sword that pierced his chest and watched him fall in front of him.

"From the beginning, I didn't need you." She looked at him and said word by word. "Step back from the world in my eyes, and don't bother me in any way."

This is the final verdict.

She saw Zhao Fukong smile miserably, then closed her eyes and collapsed. Just die.

The collapse of the Palace of the Heart, at this moment, covered every place she could observe. And it wasn't until she confirmed that Zhao Fukong was really dead that she gently closed her eyes and let the expression on her face collapse.

“…… You're a bird, brother. ”

"But you broke your wings, and willingly stopped flying for my sake. Because you want to use your wings in exchange for my happiness and well-being. ”

The image of the wingless bird is not for nothing. And in the legend, there is indeed a bird that cannot fly if it is not in pairs.

"But...... I don't need you to sacrifice for me anymore. ”

"You have to live on your own, come out, and live in a world without me."

"And if you can't get out...... Well, it's not too bad to sleep with me. ”

She was very familiar with Zhao Fukong.

What she speculated about Zhao Weikong, she was doing.

And when she turned to leave, the solemn and solemn voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Yu's ears.

- [Kill a member of the hostile reincarnation, and the Middle-earth team will be counted as one point......]

Zhao Yukong died.

Jiang Yu looked at the wreckage in front of him, and the final blow was Zheng Zha's bombardment by a hundred soldiers. He was incredulous, but he had to admit what had happened.

"That's it...... It's that simple? He frowned.

On the other side, the crisp movements of the three members of the Arctic Continent team interrupted him.

"We surrender!" Someone from the Arctic Continent team, so said.
