Chapter 9: The Fallen Stars
"You, what have you done?!", the black girl gasped and lay on the ground, looking at the monster lying next to her in a pool of strange colored blood, and looked at the other strange man standing aside with a look of trepidation.
"Huh, didn't I help you solve this guy in front of you, and you can thank me a little too?", Xiu Tuo gently wiped the blood from the knife and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. But this smile made the two of them feel an extraordinary chill.
"What the hell are you going to do?", Tatsumi asked coldly, clenching the scimitar in his hand.
"Ah~ I'll tell you if I'm idle......", the strange man named Xiutuo was turning up the corpse on the side at this time, and a cloud of black gas came out of his hand, and the next moment it turned into a black flame and devoured the entire corpse, in the continuous burning black flame, the strange man's body gradually dissipated, and finally became invisible.
Chen looked at the very skillful method of destroying corpses and destroying traces of this guy in front of him, and his heart sank. Although I vaguely sensed that something was wrong with him when I first fought this weirdo, I didn't care much about it at the time. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the entire process of the fight just now was silently guided and controlled by this guy.
"You...... Who the hell are you?", Xiaolu asked reluctantly standing up, enduring the pain in her body and her thoughts that were about to escape.
"Me...... I'm not human anymore...... You can just call me Xiutuo. Xiu Tuo said that the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, so that the two of them couldn't answer.
Chen was able to detect that this strange man's body did not release murderous aura, and he relaxed a little, and he would support Xiaolu a little and then stare at the strange man in front of him and said:
"What are you going to do, rebelling out of Yuan Lu Zhi's hands?", Tatsumi didn't understand what kind of intention this guy had to kill his 'companion'?
"Hey...... You don't have to worry about those things. I just look at this guy so much that he doesn't have any taste at all. The guy with only muscles in his head is the most troublesome. Xiu Tuo put away his double knives and put away the black flame beside him.
At this time, on the ground, the body of the strange man just now had been completely wiped out, and there was no trace left on the ground, even the strange liquid that had just flowed out of the wound, similar to human blood, had been steamed, and the only thing that was still there was the stone hammer just now.
"I don't know what you were going to do just now, but you're ...... now," the scimitar in Tatsuna's hand glowed blue again. He had just inadvertently touched the Peerless Technique, and now there were still one or two chances left to use it, and if the person in front of him had other plans, Chen was also confident that he would escape from here with Xiaolu.
"Just killed that idiot, and now I'm in a good mood. Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, you'd just die together. Xiu Tuo sat on the bluestone and said with a big grin.
Tatsumi remembered that just now Xiutuo suddenly came to the back of another strange person with a strange degree, and won a blow. If there is any killing intent, then it is impossible for Chen and Xiaolu to stand here safely now. What he said was somewhat credible, but Chen still didn't let go of the vigilance in his heart, although the scimitar in his hand had been put away, his body was completely ready to escape.
Xiaolu also breathed a sigh of relief, but then her body was weak, as if she was about to fall. Just now, in order to deal with the weirdos, she had to use the last bit of strength to use the Musou technique, and now she can't support it because she is too tired.
Chen caught her steadily, and then helped her to the opposite bluestone, opening a clever distance from Xiutuo.
Xiutuo didn't care about this, smiled a little and looked at the clouds in the mountains, with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes, as if he was missing something.
Tatsu had also heard Xiaolu tell about Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinates. Among them, it is mentioned that many of Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinates are transformed from some monsters, and they have been transformed by the power of Yuan Lu Zhi's 'wilderness' to have humanoid bodies and minds. Therefore, Yuan Lu Zhi was like a god in the eyes of those people, and he was respected by them.
The strange man who died just now was the same, when he heard Xiutuo mention Yuan Lu Zhi's words, his tone began to change, and he was probably very in awe of Yuan Lu Zhi. But the guy in front of him is completely different, Chen can vaguely feel that he doesn't have a good impression of Yuan Lu Zhi, although he doesn't know what the inside story is, but all in all, this guy will not be embarrassed by himself. This is already the best-case scenario.
"It's been ten years since I went......" Xiutuo faintly saw the village in the mountain mist from the bluestone, with an inexplicable look on his face. Even for a moment, I had the illusion that this guy was also human. Because this kind of expression will not appear on those monsters that have been transformed by Yuan Lu Zhi.
"Whew...... Still gone...... I'm upset to see it here......", Xiutuo stood up again, looked at the mountains and forests, and couldn't help but sigh. And he had slowly walked down the mountain, but he looked like he was about to leave.
"You ......", Tatsumi wanted to stop the weirdo. After all, it seems that this guy is not on Lu Zhi's side, and Chen wondered if he could ask something.
"Ueda Castle is nearby...... If you want to defeat Yuanlu Zhi, someone may be able to help you. Shuta turned his head and looked at the young girl and said. However, he saw a little bit of starlight drifting in the sky...... I couldn't help but sigh: "Starfall ......."
Then he stopped talking, walked through the twisted mountain path, and gradually disappeared into the mist.
Chen looked at the disappeared Xiutuo, and he didn't want to chase after him, just thinking about what Xiutuo said. "Ueda Castle...... This name is a little familiar......", Tatsumi muttered the name, as if remembering something. Although his physical and mental aspects are no longer within the boundaries of normal human beings, some memories in his mind are inevitably forgotten. Although the Peerless Snake has been played before, it has been nearly ten years now, and Tatsu only vaguely remembers some fragments.
"Ueda Castle!", Xiao Lu, who was originally sitting on the bluestone and exhaling slightly, was opening her eyes wide at this time, chanting the name.
"What's the matter, Xiaolu......", Chen asked aloud as he looked at the girl beside him a little strangely.
"My cousin is in this place...... I thought I couldn't find it...... Right now...... Looks like I've finally found it. Xiaolu finally stood up, the tiredness on her face disappeared, and a faint light flickered in her eyes.
"Xiaolu ......", Chen felt that something was wrong, just now Xiaolu was still injured and not shallow...... How to ...... now? The uneasy feeling in Tatsuna's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Tatsu ...... Come with me for a while......", Xiaolu put her spear on her back, then turned around and took Chen's hand, and walked towards the highest cliff here.
Chen followed helplessly, looking at Xiaolu's back, Chen felt a little strange, at this time Xiaolu seemed to be a few points taller than before, and the original loose clothes on her body were also slightly tightened.
"Xiaolu ......", Chen looked at her again, wanting to ask something, but there was a strange feeling in his throat, not knowing what to say.
"Me...... After escaping from the royal city of Yuanlu Zhi, while escaping from their pursuit, he searched for the place where his cousin was imprisoned. Because if we can rescue my cousin, our hope of defeating Yuan Lu Zhi will be greater. Pity...... I don't know until now...... It's already too late. The girl's voice changed slightly, and the original childishness was gone, and she talked about it with a sigh.
Xiaolu ...... Your cousin...... It won't be ......", although Chen vaguely guessed a few points, he still couldn't believe it.
"Well...... Known as Changshan Zhao Zilong, my spear skills were also taught to me by my cousin. With a proud smile, the girl turned her head to look at Tatsu and said.
Although Zhao Yun had already guessed that it would be him, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Whether it's those legends or what, but at least, Tatsumi remembers that this legendary general is the strongest group of people even in the world of unparalleled.
"But...... Now don't we just go down the mountain and go to Ueda Castle to rescue him?Xiaolu, you ......", before Chen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiaolu's somewhat mature voice.
"Tatsu ...... I already understand it......", Xiaolu turned around, stood at the top of the cliff and looked at Chen, and said slowly.
And at this time, he already felt that something was wrong, because he saw Xiaolu's face begin to change, from the age of twelve before the start of childbearing, to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Tingting girl. There are also blue points of light floating on his body, just like a celestial being.
Xiaolu ...... You ......", Chen looked at the slightly strange girl in front of him, and had many doubts in his heart.
"Tatsu ...... You may not know that after coming to this world, our bodies have been transformed by the power of the stars. Most people do this for this reason...... The body has degraded to the point where it was young. But my own strength is stronger than before, can this be regarded as making up for it?", the girl said with some nostalgia as she looked at her slender arms.
"But now...... I've returned to my original state...... The power of the stars is gradually fading, ah......", the girl judged very calmly, and the inexplicable emotion in her tone made Chen's heart tremble slightly.
Xiaolu ...... You ...... now", Chen Yi grabbed Xiaolu's hands and swept her body with a technique, but said with a trembling voice.
"Well...... I can't hold it out for long......", the girl's voice sounded with a little loss.
"How could it be!", Chen couldn't help but say anxiously as he looked at the face that had already made up his mind.
When Chen first used the technique, it was already clear that Xiaolu's body had begun to deteriorate comprehensively, and he wanted to use the healing technique to delay it, but it had no effect.
"Tatsu ...... Isn't that something you can solve...... Because the balance between 'star' and 'wild' in my body was broken, and now it is irreversible. The girl comforted the young man in front of her.
"Xiaolu ......", Chen lowered his head, not knowing what to say. There is nothing he can do now, and he has nothing to do about Xiaolu's current situation
Although he has only been with Xiaolu for ten days, Tatsumi has already regarded her as his friend. The smile of this innocent girl can always make the haze in his heart dissipate, and he will not be bothered by the resentment and loneliness before.
But now...... Chen could only watch her gradually die, and she didn't even have time to delay.
"Tatsu ...... You don't have to...... It's only been a few days since I met you, but I think Tatsu is a good person......," the girl said with a smile.
"Tatsu's words...... I am sure that I will be able to become a great person in the future...... It's like the cousin who was almost able to defeat Yuan Lu Zhi in the first place...... It's a pity that I can't see it anymore......", the blue light on the girl's body became stronger and stronger, and the whole person was wrapped, and even the smile was with this bright light.
"Xiaolu!", Chen couldn't help but take her hand, but he could only feel a cold light, completely devoid of the characteristics of a human body.
"This is 'Starfall'...... What a strange feeling, ......", the girl's face was shrouded in light, and it continued to strengthen.
"Thank you...... Early morning...... My last leg of the road...... It's not as boring as I thought at the beginning......", Chen could only see the familiar face, and finally spit out a sentence.
A crisp breaking sound sounded, and the blue light that had been gathered instantly burst out of Xiaolu's body, and the dazzling light made Chen Du almost unable to open his eyes, but he still wanted to see the last side of the girl who was drowned in the light.
An extremely bright beam of light burst out, and Chen Du was blind for a moment, and when he slowly recovered, he could only see a blue-black spear lying quietly on the ground. And the original pen fun pavilion is there, and the smiling girl with a gun is nowhere to be seen.
