Chapter 347: The Power of Will

“…… Since you can ask this question, I am afraid that you have already realized that a strong will is the foundation of everything. ”

A voice sounded in Shan Bing's head.

This woke Shan Bing up from his sleep on the spot.

It had been a few months since he had returned from Dengzhou in the northwest, but the teachings that seemed inexplicable to him had become clearer and clearer—especially in the face of an enemy who could not be defeated no matter what, and especially in this time of utter despair, the words of encouragement that had been boring in his eyes seemed more and more useful.

Yes, as long as you persevere, although I don't know what the use of persisting in this way will be, but at least if you can hold on, you can live, and if you can live, you will have a future.

So, here's the problem.

What did he realize in the first place?

This is also the most confusing point of Shan Bing's days, when he first heard this passage, he only regarded it as unnutritious nonsense, so he didn't notice anything wrong, but after dreaming about the original scene a few times, he finally realized that this conversation itself was extremely strange.

Originally, in his opinion, the giant was just perfunctory to him, but if you add the premise of "what you have realized", it is completely different, it is obvious that the giant is aware of some special state of him, and will say the next words.

But what did he realize?

Is a strong will the foundation of everything? Judging from the conversation itself, it seems that this sentence should be this sentence, but as far as Shan Bing himself is concerned, he doesn't think there is any meaning in this sentence at all—if it is said that a firm will is the foundation of everything, doesn't that mean that as long as the will is strong, everything can be done?

How is this possible?

Could it be that as long as he firmly believes that he can be the emperor, he can be the emperor?

It's impossible, this kind of thing is pure nonsense, a firm will can't change anything at all, at most it's just to make yourself happy - just like when you go through the evil qi training, maintaining a firm will can keep the evil qi from destroying your own reason, and the so-called firmness of the will is only useful for this.

Nothing else.

Just like the old eunuch, he is indeed absolutely loyal to the royal family, but even if this loyalty is pure, what is the use? No matter how loyal the old eunuch is, he still can't win the emperor, under the terrifying coercion, no one can win the emperor, this is reality, reality is such a heavy thing, not something that two people will change when they say "I don't want to".

"Reality...... Ha. ”

Rubbing his head, which was still a little dizzy, Shan Bing simply turned over and got up.

It's not dawn yet, and it's about the fifth watch to see the sky, and Shan Bing hasn't rested very well for a while now, and he's used to getting up early - the first thing he does in the morning is, of course, morning exercise, although he himself doesn't know what the meaning of such an exercise is, but the familiar daily routine can at least make him feel a little shadow of the past.

Or, everything is actually quite familiar, although that emperor has come to the Jiankang Imperial City, but after a few months, everything seems to have changed nothing.

In addition to a few more deaths.

Those people are all people who want to challenge the emperor, for one reason or another, or simply look at this person unpleasantly, and the emperor naturally fought with them, killing all the challengers, leaving corpses all over the ground, and the unparalleled prestige in the world.

And now the number one hundred soldiers have been replaced by Huangtian, and no one dares to fight this terrifying monster anymore, even if one or two occasionally pop up, they are only crushed to death like ants.

Just like what Shan Bing saw today.

"What are you! Dare to sit in that position! ”

In the huge martial arts arena, there was an old man in a strong suit who was staring at the emperor sitting on the high platform, and the long-handled big knife in his hand was spitting evil energy, as if he was going to swallow his life alive in the next moment.

"Emperor? Just? ”

"What are you capable of?"

Huangtian, who was sitting on the high platform, just looked down indifferently.

"Let me see."

"Then ...... Let you see! ”

With a loud shout, the old man with a long-handled broadsword flew out.

It's just that this old man didn't pounce on the emperor on the high platform.

Rather, the auditorium.

The big sword was swayed, bringing a bloody storm, and the civil and military officials who were called to watch the battle also scattered and fled.

"Hey......"

Seeing this, Shan Bing sighed.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it is visible to the naked eye, and this situation is becoming more and more - at the beginning, those who came to challenge the emperor would only target the emperor, but as the world went on, more and more people began to realize that they might be able to accumulate evil qi before the fight.

While this doesn't necessarily work, even a little more chance of winning is a good thing for these challengers.

And the high emperor has never taken care of these things.

may be able to be managed, but the way the emperor manages it is so that those viewers must not be absent. Before this, there were high-ranking officials of the fourth rank who chose to take sick leave because they were afraid that they would be hacked to death in the audience - once upon a time, when the emperor said that it was okay, this kind of thing was generally easy to pass.

But at the moment, it is not the emperor who speaks, but the emperor.

So the next moment when the note for leave was handed over, the sword light that fell from the sky fell into the courtyard of the four-rank high-ranking official, killing his entire family with just one breath, and even the family dog was cut into slices.

Since then, no one dares to watch the duel of the emperor, and the emperor himself seems to enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight - of course, strictly speaking, Shan Bing always feels that these people have not been seen as human beings in the eyes of the emperor, and he always feels that the emperor actually looks at these people, even him, with some kind of rather strange eyes.

That kind of vision, Shan Bing is not easy to describe.

But that's definitely not a human eye.

Just like now, the audience was soon covered with blood and corpses, but Huang Tian's eyes were still so indifferent, some dead people, for Huang Tian, seemed to be no different from the death of a group of ants, the strongest man sitting on the high platform didn't care about the life or death of these ants, he just wanted to see what kind of surprise the strongest insect could bring to himself.

And after killing almost a hundred people, the old man with the long-handled broadsword also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he turned around and pointed his sword at the emperor on the high platform.

"Yellow-mouthed child! Today I want you to see and see, the old man's dragon slaying knife technique! ”

Saying this, the old man's body rolled upside down, and the long knife was dragged out, and the momentum was really as powerful as the tail of a swimming dragon!

"The dragon is now clawing demons!"

“……”

The emperor on the high platform still had that indifferent expression, and when he looked at the green dragon, he even felt a little more impatient.

"Excalibur, Fallen Sun."

The quaint long sword fell from the sky, and the mighty dragon was dismembered by the blade.

However, the old man did not fall there.

"Competent...... The green dragon alone really can't kill you. ”

The old man with the big knife spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"But, haven't you thought about why this set of knife techniques is called the Dragon Slaying Knife Method?"

As he said this, the old man with the big knife suddenly took off his pants in full view of everyone.

Then, with a wave of the broadsword.

"This is the real dragon slaying!"

As something flesh and blood blurred fell to the ground, the old man's already shaky momentum suddenly rose infinitely, the extreme pain, the extreme hatred, and mixed with the most extreme evil qi, the green dragon phantom behind the old man had been dyed as black as ink in an instant!

With such a fierce might, Shan Bing on the side was terrified, although the process was a little indescribable, but at the moment, this old man without pants was definitely the strongest one among the challengers he had ever seen.

Use extreme pain and extreme humiliation to urge the most extreme hatred, and then use this endless hatred as an endless source of strength.

This...... Okay?

This kind of bullshit method can actually work?

Shan Bing's mind was a little spinning, he had never seen such an outrageous style of play - but no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, the reality was finally in front of his eyes.

This is a very distorted reality, and there is no way to describe it, a crazy old man has escaped the gravitational pull of reality by relying on his crazy will, and has obtained indescribable power...... After realizing this, Shan Bing was even in a trance, he was already a little confused, what was reality and what was fantasy.

It wasn't until his eyes turned to the emperor on the high platform that he calmed down a little.

The emperor on the high platform, his expression still did not change.

It's as if everything in the arena is nothing more than an illusory bubble.

"It's just, to that extent?"

Facing the huge black dragon that pounced fiercely, the emperor on the high platform just shook his head slightly.

"Excalibur, Fallen Sun."

A sword falls, and the winner is divided.

The invincible huge black dragon was torn to pieces, and together with the huge blood dragon born on the old man's body, the entire martial arts arena was filled with the smell of blood, as well as the stench of internal organs.

"Clean up."

Shaking his head, the emperor stood up and flew back to the palace.

Only Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan were left, and there were some envoys in charge.

They were deliberately left behind by the Emperor, and the Emperor not only did not touch their lives, but made it difficult for them to want to die - and the Emperor did this for only one purpose, just because the dirty arena needed to be cleaned.

Other than that, the emperor doesn't interfere with anything about them, just like a man who doesn't bother to pay attention to ants crawling on the ground.

"Another one died."

There was a soldier with a face towel on his face, and he washed the ground with a blank face.

"How many are there this month?"

"I should say that another batch of deaths is right."

Shan Bing sighed, and he was also wearing a face scarf.

"If you count those viewers, there should be three thousand dead this month? Or five thousand? I can't remember some things clearly, and I can't figure out this kind of thing. ”

Or, no one wants to calculate such a number, after all, everyone is already struggling just to live, and no one wants to recall these bloody memories, and it is precisely because of this that the spirits in Jiankang City have been selling better and better recently.

Drinking a little alcohol won't solve the problem, but at least it will anesthetize yourself and stop you from thinking about some overly painful memories for a while.

And the smell of wine can also cover the bloody gas on the body a little.

After cleaning up the corpses all over the ground, Shan Bing returned to his own life, still patrolling like the walking dead, still returning from work early, a few side dishes, and a bottle of spirits, which can not only relax the tense body, but also relax the tense spirit a little.

"Spirit."

After two glasses of wine, Shan Bing thought about this question again.

He didn't want to think about it, but it was hard to control himself from thinking about it, especially after seeing that duel during the day, and some thought that he hadn't thought of before began to grow wildly in his head.

Like, although he had always regarded the giant's conversation with him as a word of chicken soup to encourage people's hearts, what if, or if, the giant was right?

Regardless of the reality, if what the giant said is really right, and a strong will can really change everything......

Everything seems to be explained all of a sudden?

At least the emperor's behavior can suddenly be explained, why must the names of the moves be repeated over and over again, why must the method of torture and killing be used in front of the public to defeat one master after another......

In the past, Shan Bing once thought that this was just Huangtian's personal habit as a master, and they didn't need to understand it, and they were not qualified to understand it.

But now, at this moment, Shan Bing suddenly understood.

"Firm will."

Shan Bing felt like he had caught the truth.

"He's hardening his will!"

No, it's not even the emperor's own will, if it's just the emperor's own will, then the emperor only needs to self-hypnosis, and he doesn't need to come out to fight at all - but now, the emperor has set up a martial arts competition ring, created a huge audience, and even has to sit and watch it with hundreds of civil and military officials.

"He needs an audience, he needs fame...... No, not fame! ”

Thinking of this, Shan Bing vaguely touched something, something more in-depth.

"He needs ...... Others believe? ”

Shan Bing's heart suddenly became cold.

The good news is that he may have finally discovered the weakness of that emperor, as for the bad news...... Naturally, this weakness is no longer useful.

Now, after the competition has lasted for several months, after the emperor has killed so many masters, when countless people firmly feel that the emperor is an invincible monster, the high emperor has really become an invincible monster.

Can anyone really defeat this monster? Is there really one?

First of all, I blame myself.,I didn't add more yesterday.,But I slept enough today.,I slept for twelve hours before I got up.,You should have the energy to write more.。

Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

Of course, everyone should go to bed early, good night everyone.
