Chapter Forty-Eight: Faces

At night, the cold wind gusts and blows cold. The shadows of the trees swayed, like demons with teeth and claws, exuding a solemn aura in this gloomy night. Originally, there were still a few wisps of red glow when it was not dark, but at this time, the sky was completely covered by thick dark clouds, or by the black demonic energy.

Ever, I felt a suffocating smell grow stronger. The closer you get to that filthy place, the more darkness you make, and the more solemn the smell of death becomes. When there were no more plants and trees around, my hands were extremely cold.

"Hahahaha-hahaha-"

Again, it was full of muddy but wistful laughter. Immediately after, a thick black gas slowly overflowed from the ground, and after a while, I felt that there was no place under my feet, and the surroundings were completely filled with the breath of death.

"Now that you've recovered, why are you hiding in the shadows?

I was wary of the movement around me and said coldly.

Suddenly, a cold aura burst out from the ground, and I jumped up, but I didn't want the spiritual power to be so fast and abnormal, just like a sharp claw bursting out from the depths of the ground, if I was dragged by it, I was afraid that I would be pulled into the endless dark abyss. I summoned Bai Aya, suddenly sideways to the side, and with a backhand, Bai Aya became entangled with that spiritual power. But immediately, I didn't know that the spiritual power not only did not exert any more force, but instead wrapped Bai Aya in it, as if it was going to drag Bai Aya into the ground. Only then did I realize that the power of this monster was completely different from the last time, it was clearly an incomparably powerful summoning from the underground purgatory, no one could get rid of its death drag, if it was really pulled in, I was afraid that it would be something more terrifying than death.

I screamed angrily, pulled out the white silk violently, a white light instantly illuminated the surroundings, my body was biased, and instantly flashed more than two feet, and the strong spiritual power seemed to be chasing after me, which was exactly what I wanted.

Suddenly, I turned abruptly, and Bai Aya sprang out again like a spiritual snake, but this time instead of thinking about the direction of the "devil's claw", it went straight into the center of the clearing. At the moment when the agile and intense white light came into contact with the ground, only a muffled sound was heard, and the ground collapsed, and the spiritual power "devil's claw" suddenly turned into nothing. I was startled, and before I could react, an unusually powerful demonic qi suddenly surged out from the place where the ground had collapsed, and I hurriedly avoided it, and used the white silk force to push myself out a few feet away in an instant. But just as my toes touched the ground, I suddenly felt a darkness in front of me, and then a feeling of suffocation, as if I was enveloped in some kind of power, and I could not break free.

"Don't want to escape from my palm again!hahaha-today, I ate your true yuan!"

I convulsed, the pain in my chest was unbearable, and I felt that everything in my head was gradually ethereal, except for the muddy and vicious laughter.

At this moment, I smiled calmly, endured the severe pain, and struggled to gather a trace of spiritual power in this chaotic black qi. With a flash of white light, Bai Aya broke free of the restraints and shot out of my sleeve, instantly turning into a sharp blade, drawing a brilliant arc in the black qi.

At this time, I only heard a miserable howl, and the black qi dissipated instantly, but I was so painful that I lost my strength, fell from mid-air, and fell heavily to the ground.

Holding back the pain, I stood up on my feet, one hand covering my arm, and a clear, reddish liquid dripped down my arm onto the jet-black ground, and I could hear the ticking of blood against the ground.

"You...... Your blood!...... What?" the murky voice was filled with astonishment and fear.

I just watched as the black qi from all over the place slowly gathered in the center of the clearing, and finally condensed into a human form. In the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be an extremely vicious face hidden, but when you looked deeper, there was only a thick black gas.

I smiled coldly: "What? Don't you want my true yuan? Now I sent it to the door myself, but you stopped? I forgot, you are also a demon, although you have never been to the Demon Domain, but you should know that the only thing the Demon Clan is afraid of is the Holy Spirit Spring on the Holy Spirit Mountain of the Demon Domain. ”

There was a low wheez, and the monster seemed to be growling and groaning.

"Hahahaha......" Unexpectedly, he actually laughed, "Interesting...... Interesting...... Your blood is the fountain of the Holy Spirit?"

His tone was eerie, and as he slowly tried to move me, I instinctively raised my arm in a defensive gesture.

"That man actually changed your blood with the Holy Spirit Spring. That's interesting......

The closer he got, the more cold I felt, and I even began to feel terror creeping around.

I began to stare at him heavily, but he didn't stop at all. Until he was so close to me, his "face" seemed to be about to touch mine, and I could hardly breathe because of the cold. I waved my hand, and he gasped and quickly stepped back, but instead of going far, he surrounded me, with a cold murmur and sneer.

Suddenly, he drew a black qi from the left side of his body, and with a single wave of it, the surroundings suddenly lit up. But the light was the dark green of the forest. I looked at it again, and there were two more bewitching figures opposite me.

But it's the sister of Rou Wing and Ruyuan, like jade!

With a smile on her thin but beautiful face, Rou Wing stared at me from afar, her gaze piercing through the dim light like a sword. And in Ruyu's eyes, there is still only emptiness and resentment, empty eyes, but hatred of everything.

"You're here to kill me?" the muffled voice finally spoke again.

"I can't kill you. Unless, I die with you. I replied coldly.

"Why not?"

"It's not a good deal. For your sake, I gave my life in vain, so how can I fulfill my oath to kill all the demons?"

"Hahahaha-then, what do you want?"

I glanced at Rou Wing and Ruyu and sneered, "Now that you have recovered, these two banshees are useless, so it is better to use them to enhance their skills." ”

"You want their true element?"

"Not bad. Since in the current situation, I can't kill you, and you can't kill me. If you want to be stronger, so do I, so let's have a competition to see who kills them first. ”

I glanced at Rou Wing, and saw that her face had changed slightly, and I thought I was stunned by my words. She looked at the erratic monster beside me with some fear, but she didn't say a word.

"Hahahaha...... Do you really think I'm going to be so stupid? They're doing things for me, why should I deal with them?"

"I'm afraid that there is a magic weapon on the fox demon, which can almost compete with the divine power, and with your strength, it may not be able to defeat it, so you don't dare to move the fox demon without permission. As for the snake demon, it is useless now...... But I don't know why you've kept her to this day. ”

The monster groaned, then suddenly stopped, facing the direction of the soft wing.

"She......" The murky voice was filled with a dark murderous aura, and it struck towards the soft wings.

Soft Wing's expression changed instantly, and the previous mockery and disdain disappeared in an instant, and the expression turned to horror. But the monster still looked at her gloomily, and its eyes seemed to reveal murderous intent.

She was watched like this, staggered back a few steps, and finally collapsed to the ground with her legs limp.

"Don't ...... Master, you can't listen to her bewitchment! I have been running around and toiling to catch demons for you, hoping for your recovery...... You know, your subordinates are genuine about you...... There is no other way...... Please don't ......" The more Rou Wing spoke, the more unconfident she became, and her voice gradually became dull.

There was another groan.

"Isn't it, you still have a friendship for her?"

The monster snorted coldly, and Soft Wings became even more frightened.

"Master......" she almost pleaded.

"You're right, she's so breathtaking, so touching, she's always been so pleasing to me, I'm really a little reluctant!" The monster slowly moved to Rou Wing's side, and kept getting closer to her slightly trembling body, as if a hand full of demonic energy gently caressed the skin of Soft Wing's body.

"If so, what if I am willing to be with you? I can please you just as much, I can get the Inner Dan True Yuan for you, and I can also give you some pleasure that she doesn't have. ”

"You?hahahaha——! aren't you bent on killing me?" the black gas moved next to me again, closing in on me.

Soft Wing was still slumped on the ground, her face full of fear.

"Yes, but since I can't kill you now, we can cooperate with each other, and when I have the ability to kill you, it's not too late to do it. Are you still afraid of me, and if you want obedience and beauty, I can give it to you. This snake demon, I hate it to the core, even if you don't kill her, I will do it when I find an opportunity, and then her true yuan will be exclusive to me, so it's better for us to share it together at this moment, isn't it better?"

"I'll kill you!"

Softwing could no longer endure my provocation, she was controlled by anger, fear, and panic, and the killing intent overflowing from her heart made her spiritual power increase many times in an instant. In the blink of an eye, she had rushed straight at me like lightning, and the cyan halo around her body was like a ghost, like a netherworld fire, shaking out strange ripples with her rapid movement, and each ripple seemed to have been quenched with incomparably cruel resentment and poison. She held a cyan dagger in her hand, and at this time, it faintly exuded a dark black aura from within. For a moment, I was the only one who could focus my attention on the sharp peak of the dagger's blade, and only looked at that little bit of cold light full of murderous aura and thought of me.

But I didn't move, and just as she was about to stab me, I smiled, and smiled calmly and proudly. Finally, I glanced at her with a very cold look, for after this glance I could no longer see the dark cyan flame, and a thick black mist had kept all her anger and murderous aura out of the way.

Through the chaotic black mist, I watched as Softwing's face distorted, anger turned to horror, and terror to endless pain.

The black mist slowly dissipated, and her soft-winged face became clear in front of me, her thin and pale face had stiffened into a look, her eyebrows wrinkled a little ripple, and her lips, which were as thin as willow leaves, lost their blood, but there seemed to be a black halo buried deep in them. It is still the appearance of the soul, it is still the state of Chu Chu wrapped in green yarn, and the dagger in her hand still has a trace of spiritual power, always pointing in the direction of my throat, at first glance, it seems to be about to approach my vital point.

But she stopped a foot away from me, the resentment in her eyes being eaten away little by little by loss and sorrow, and I watched as the last sign of her life fell before me. Her body, as weak as the withered grass that could not bear the wind, had almost touched my dress, and the chill of Sensen spread from my toes to my internal organs. For a moment, a ray of sadness drifted through my thoughts, as if something had been taken away from my memory.

"Soft-winged girl, to this day, do you still recognize me as a sister?" I still couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then I realized that I couldn't bear to see her life coming to an end, but this was also an inevitable end.

"Hehe......" she also smiled with a very cold and sad smile, "My sister has already been killed by my own hands." ”

I smiled sadly, crouched down, and reached halfway with my hand, but I still took it back. At this moment, I can only lament.

"Originally, even if I killed you, I could still recognize you as a sister, but you, like her, wanted to snatch my most cherished ......"

She struggled to lift her head, to turn away, and I knew she was worthy of the monster she'd given everything she had done for it. It's really a bad fate, but for a woman like her, it seems to be reasonable. I can't help but wonder what kind of memories there are between her and this monster? Even if there is a trace of warmth? But the reality is in front of me, and her persistence is nothing more than a mirror.

"What do you cherish the most?"

She looked up with difficulty and looked at me again, the anger, hatred, resentment, and persistence in her eyes looking too weak. In a split second, I stood up and stopped looking at her.

She's just a demon, a pathetic monster with a vicious heart, how can she talk about her feelings? I don't know what story she had, and I don't really care about it now.

is also a demon, but in her thoughts, there is only possession, killing, insidiousness and revenge. Compared to the hollow-eyed Ruyu, she looked even more humble. Even so, does she still care about a trace of so-called sisterhood, and what does it matter?

"Hahaha-" The muddy and terrifying laughter sounded again, "How?

I overmeasured my head slightly, but I didn't go to the black gas. Before I could speak, the weak soft wings dragged her heavy body and crawled in the direction of the black gas, although it was in vain for her.

"Master......" she whispered, but there was still no trace of resentment.

The black qi did not care about her pleading and calling at the last moment of her life, but moved a few steps in the opposite direction.

This time, the soft wings completely collapsed, both physically and mentally.

She smiled bitterly and collapsed on the ground, burying her face in the ground. Her form gradually blurred, and even began to show her cyan snake body.

“...... Why do you ...... me like this?"

I was also a little stunned for a moment, because her tone was so bleak at this time that it made the already gloomy clearing even more chilly.

She raised her head again, still looking in the direction of the monster, and her eyes were extremely sad.

It's just that her last plea was only exchanged for a deep cold snort from the monster.

"You still only remember my sister, no matter what I do, no matter how obedient I am to you, you still only remember her...... Even though they are all tools to work for you, I am always inferior to her...... You've never even looked at me for who I am, even once...... If it weren't for me today, would you still be so ruthless?" As soon as the words fell, she lost all her vitality, and she didn't even have the strength to maintain the only remaining illusion, only her cyan snake body appeared, and even the luster on the snake skin gradually faded. But she didn't die, but held on to her last breath, as if she was just waiting for an answer.

At this moment, the monster finally slowly moved towards her, and the black qi slowly disappeared, and I involuntarily took a step back, because the monster instantly turned into a man's illusion. It's just that this illusion ......

It's Cang Li!

I was almost stunned and couldn't move. But that face was magnified in my mind very clearly, the clear outline, the eyebrows like arrows, the high bridge of the nose...... Only the expression in his eyes was very different.

He is not Cang Li, but why is he so similar to Cang Li? He is also wearing a golden brocade robe, and he also has shoulder pads inlaid with unicorn dragon patterns, which makes him look extremely majestic. For a moment, I was lost in my memories, and the crimson sky of the Demon Domain and the whirlpool that shook the earth gradually appeared in front of me.

Suddenly, I sensed a trace of demonic energy in the gap in his robe, so I suddenly returned from my memory, and when I looked at the illusion of the monster in front of me, I had confirmed that he was indeed not Cangli.

I saw him bend down and hold the true body of the soft wings in his hand, as if he didn't care about my existence at all, or maybe he was not afraid of my existence at all.

He smiled coldly again, and his voice was still muddy, low, and evil: "Even if it is her who is here today, she is also dead." However, I am still willing to fulfill your little wish, and see clearly, this is who I am......"

After saying that, his hand tightened, and I didn't have time to stop it, the true body of the soft wing was already paralyzed in his hand, and a dark green bead with a shimmering light slowly rose from the middle of the soft wing's body and hung in the air. At this moment, the grievances and grievances between me and Rou Wing suddenly dissipated, so easily, it seems that I don't even have the least psychological preparation.

Looking at Ruyu on the other side, she was still expressionless.

The monster snorted, tossed its soft wings aside, and then took advantage of the situation to hold the dying Naidan in the palm of his hand, and then swallowed it raw. Suddenly, the black aura filled the air, and he was extremely intoxicated to absorb the true yuan power of the soft wings.

I didn't come to my senses for a long time, and watched him eat the true element of the soft wings. I looked at the dead snake corpse on the ground, which had become stiff and curled, and I felt a secret feeling in my heart.

Then he turned to me and said:

"How? Did I win this contest?"

I took my eyes off the corpse of the soft wings and fixed my eyes on the monster's shape-shaped. He is too similar to Cang Li, but he is so cruel and ruthless, I don't know how to talk to each other for a while.

"Hahahaha!" he suddenly laughed, and I shuddered, "what's wrong with you? Isn't my makeup good-looking? Naturally, your weight is much higher than that lowly snake demon. Seeing her groveling every day is indeed disgusting. ”

As he spoke, he approached me with a face that was exactly the same as Cang Li, but no matter how close I was, I could only feel a thick demonic aura, which made me extremely depressed.

I instinctively avoided it, but his expression immediately turned angry.

"Why, aren't you afraid of me?" he stared straight at me, and there was a sudden pain in my chest.

But he immediately smiled again, and approached me again, and said in a strange tone, "Oh—I forgot, that man was like that. ”

Could it be that "that person" in his mouth is Cang Li? Who is he? I was full of doubts, and I was a little frightened at the moment.
