Chapter 381: Victory and Defeat
The vital point of the flesh has long been a pseudo-concept for people who have undergone multiple transformations, whether it is the destruction of the heart, throat or even the brain, in fact, it is harmless. Because the operation of the transformed body no longer depends on individual nodes, the flow of life is like a whole. Unless the physical body is completely destroyed, the loss of any node can be shared among other nodes.
Xu Bailian has carried out hundreds of inhuman transformations of his body, and the key point of the general meaning has long lost its meaning. After the parasitism of the superior organism, the modification of the host is further advanced, and to some extent, its physical body is almost immortal, but it ......
All this seemed to have lost its meaning in front of the forbidden demon body.
When Bai Xiao's bone spear pierced Xu Bailian's carotid artery, Xu Bailian clearly felt that his vitality was rapidly flowing along the wound on the side of his neck, and the situation was even more serious than the tragic penetration of Fang Cai's chest.
It's just a scrape. But the moment the bone spear came into contact with the flesh, Xu Bailian's many transformations to the flesh seemed to have experienced a reverse current of time and space, returning to its original state at an astonishing speed.
And Xu Bailian's original body has long been riddled with holes and almost erosive, without those transformations, he would have died in the underground laboratory ten years ago. At this moment, he was beaten back to his original form by Bai Xiao, and the wound on the side of his neck became rotten and pitch black at an alarming rate, and countless flesh buds struggled to dance on the edge of the wound, secreting a foul-smelling abscess.
This spear skill even surprised Bai Xiao a little, he retracted the bone spear sideways, his eyes glanced at the tip of the spear, and there was a hidden realization in his heart: the forbidden demon body began to upgrade.
Upgrading in actual combat is also commonplace for Bai Xiao. When hunting in the snowy mountains, he often has the kind of history of reluctance at the beginning of the encounter with strange beasts, and then he will strike hard three days later.
This fierce battle with Xu Bailian also seemed to have stimulated him to evolve rapidly, and there was little change in physical fitness, but the blood of the forbidden demon began to boil.
The bone spear stained with blood has almost offset the magic power of the Demon Dao from cause and effect, and this is a power that Bai Xiao has never had before.
He came to the Southern Continent, and it was not a day or two since he dealt with the Demon Daoist, but he had never felt the hot blood in his chest cavity boiling at such a strong amplitude, and with the flow of blood, the muscles, bones, and even every organ in the chest and abdominal cavity were emitting a silent battle cry.
In the dark, Bai Xiao seemed to have read the word fate.
This extraterrestrial foreign body was attracted by him, and naturally it should be put to him to finish.
This battlefield of the Void is the place where all things end.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiao became more excited, and the excitement brought unprecedented concentration, he turned over the bone spear, looking for the next opportunity, and said: "In your heart, that old man is your biological father, you have invested all your good feelings in him, he is a relict and independent saint in the slums, and he is ......"
Before Bai Xiao's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a violent spear of light.
From the twisted void, Xu Bailian made his struggle.
Each of these dazzling spears of light is a strategic weapon, capable of leaving terrifying scars on flat land, or turning undulating terrain into flat earth.
The hundreds of spears of light symbolized that the Replacement Grandmaster Xu Bailian had given up his best subtle supernatural powers, and instead unleashed his demonic energy in a rough and direct way.
However...... This made Bai Xiao feel deeply disappointed.
Before transferring to the Void Realm, he had already seen this simple and crude outbreak of demonic energy, and the environmental destructive power was indeed incomparable, worthy of the name of the Demon Dao Grandmaster's humanoid natural disaster, but for the forbidden demon body, what was the significance of this kind of demonic energy explosion?
Although the person who used psychological warfare to make Xu Bailian lose his rationality was Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao felt ...... when he saw his opponent become hysterical It was as if a wild beast that had been hunted by him for a long time had finally stumbled and fallen into a simple trap, so that what should have been a thrilling final battle became uneventful.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, and it is better to be able to reap the victory smoothly than to walk the tightrope with your own life. Snow mountain hunters are not afraid of death but will not take the initiative to die, and they will never refuse to send people to the door.
However, at this moment, Bai Xiao suddenly had a burst of alarm in his heart.
Intuition was resisting him to deliver the final blow to Xu Bailian.
Even if the same intuition told him that Xu Bailian was in an unprecedented state of weakness at this time, his relationship with the parasitic species was already like a separation, and the host body was even more polluted by the blood of the forbidden demon, corroded all the way to the core of the demonic weapon, such an opponent had almost no resistance, as long as he could completely end his life with a spear in his hand......
However, Bai Xiao still withdrew the bone spear in his hand at the critical moment.
The light spears in all directions devoured him, and of course they had no effect, and Bai Xiao did not take advantage of the situation to fight back, just stared coldly at the opponent hiding in the twisted void.
Although everything in the void was distorted, Bai Xiao still firmly locked on his opponent, he only led but did not trigger, but always bet his deterrent power on the opponent.
As expected, Xu Bailian soon became more agitated.
It has nothing to do with psychological warfare, as if even without Bai Xiao's words, he can't wait to end this battle.
Xu Bailian didn't use the flashy magic energy to explode this time, he reached out and pressed the core of the magic weapon that had been contaminated by the blood of the forbidden demon, his fingers were gathered, and the organ that had a substance and beat like a heart disappeared suddenly. The forbidden blood stained with the magic weapon dripped unrestrained.
Self-destructing magic weapon!?
Bai Xiao's pupils shrank, such a feat is rare in textbooks in the library-it usually appears in it. How determined is Xu Bailian to perform this kind of acrobatics? But on the other hand, a person who has been played by psychological warfare to the point of mental breakdown will have such determination?
Without thinking about it, Bai Xiao saw Xu Bailian's figure flickering, and he actually escaped from his own perception!
This change came so quickly that even Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Pursue!
The weakness of the opponent is real, especially the fragility of the parasitic relationship is a flaw that is rarely exposed, if you can't take advantage of the victory to pursue, all the hard work in the early stage will be in vain.
Therefore, even if the warning signs in his intuition have become more and more distinct, and even caused a slight tinnitus, even if Bai Xiao knew that there would be a huge risk in pursuing, he had no choice at this time.
Without hesitation, he set out in pursuit.
This step is a step that is all around you in a hurry.
The distorted light suddenly became flat, and a large gray river appeared in front of Bai Xiao's eyes, and the river was rushing endlessly, flowing until the end of the line of sight, wrapped in gray mist. There are dead souls and bones in the river, as well as living creatures, who follow the waves and loom in the face. And when Bai Xiao tried to take a closer look, these visions became blurred.
Bai Xiao regretted that he hadn't been immersed in the library long enough, or that his reading speed couldn't be compared to those geniuses who couldn't remember it at a glance, otherwise he would have had time to see the treatise on the Void before the end of his first year.
He didn't know exactly what the river was, but from the life and death in the river, he seemed to vaguely see the concept of "civilization".
The so-called civilization is everything accumulated by the life and death of generations.
So where is this river going, and why did Xu Bailian flee along this river?
For a while, Bai Xiao only felt that there were more and more mysteries, and the warning signs in his mind had been magnified to the point of stinging.
Fortunately, the chase did not last long.
Not far ahead, Xu Bailian had already stopped escaping, and Bai Xiao also stopped, maintaining a distance of about twenty meters.
Although in the Void Realm, the concept of distance has been very vague, Bai Xiao still follows his hunting habits. Twenty meters, which can be advanced or retreated, is his favorite distance.
Xu Bailian looked at Bai Xiao, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't make his signature sneer, but sighed: "It's a pity......
Bai Xiao was not in the mood to listen to what he was talking about, regret or not, and after controlling the distance, he kicked off the decisive battle in the most simple and direct way.
He slashed the bone spear down from top to bottom, and the sharp tip of the spear cut through the void space, directly leaving a deep scar on Xu Bailian's body that almost split him in two.
Xu Bailian's voice stopped abruptly - his throat was at the end of the scar, and he naturally lost the ability to speak after his vocal cords were severed. Injured by the forbidden demon body, Xu Bailian's physical transformation also lost its due recovery ability, and the wound festered at an alarming speed.
Bai Xiao withdrew the bone spear and let out a sigh lightly, this spear seems to be an understatement, but it is really draining, but ...... It worked.
In his perception, the opponent had been torn apart, and not only was the host's physical body on the verge of collapse, but the parasitic relationship of the alien body was only a thin line away from rupture. Even if he is left alone, Xu Bailian's life has entered the countdown.
The victory came easier than expected, but there was nothing bad about it, the only problem was ......
The warning signs in my mind are getting stronger and stronger.
There must be something wrong, but no matter how Bai Xiao thinks, he can't find the root of the problem.
The opponent brought him into the battlefield of the Void Realm, so in a strange battlefield, in the face of a powerful opponent, what else could he do besides going all out? His forbidden demon body had a miraculous effect on Xu Bailian, so it was also an inevitable choice to give full play to the strength of the forbidden demon body and hit the opponent hard.
What went wrong?
Xu Bailian couldn't speak at this time, but his eyes were agile as if he could convey his heart. Bai Xiao read a stark mockery from it.
Obviously, I should have fallen into some trap, but since I don't know the whole picture of the trap, there is no need to waste extra energy on this issue.
It doesn't matter what kind of trap he is, let's deal with the enemy in front of him first.
This time, Bai Xiao chose the most straightforward way, and his whole body rushed forward, and the bone spear in his hand pierced Xu Bailian's forehead like lightning.
The process went smoothly and left no flaws.
After being shot in the head by Bai Xiao's bone spear, Xu Bailian naturally had no possibility of regeneration, no matter how he originally designed and transformed his body, but under the blow of the forbidden demon body, it was all gone.
So needless to say, this is an absolute fatal injury.
At the moment when the bone spear pierced the skull, Bai Xiao determined Xu Bailian's death from the touch in his hand. As a tribal hunter, he is particularly sensitive to life and death...... But on the other hand, although the enemy was dead, Bai Xiao didn't feel that he had won.
On the contrary, the warning in his mind was so strong that it almost directly declared his defeat.
This is not a very uncommon situation, life and death and victory and defeat are completely different concepts, a hunter in the snow hunting ground and the prey of the same death, is a typical case of winning life and death, losing the victory and defeat.
Bai Xiao felt that he was now infinitely close to those miserable martyrs, so he immediately tried to struggle.
Now that you have killed your opponent, all you have to do now is to leave the Void Realm, return to reality, merge with Qingyue Lanlan, and then ......
There is no then, because Bai Xiao has already discovered the problem.
He can't do without.
At this time, Xu Bailian, whose body had gradually degenerated into a corpse, finally let out a hoarse laugh.
Not through the torn vocal cords, nor through the dim eyes, but the laughter that directly echoed in Bai Xiao's mind.
"Bai Xiao, you were finally checkmate by me. ”
When the laughter was extinguished, Xu Bailian in front of Bai Xiao was left with only incomplete bones.
But he was already frowning, and he didn't have the joy of winning the life-and-death game at all.
Xu Bailian's conspiracy, he has already seen through most of it.
First of all, killing Xu Bailian didn't mean anything, compared to a foreign body outside the sky and a Saint Yuan person who had already been parasitized, Bai Xiao's own life was hundreds of millions of times more precious. Bai Xiao hadn't clearly realized this before, and it wasn't until he successfully killed Xu Bailian that he realized that the price he had paid for this kill was a bit too huge.
The Void was a concept he was not familiar with, and in order to pursue Xu Bailian, he drifted too far in the Void.
He is not Qingyue, and he doesn't have a clear enough understanding of the Void Realm, let alone completing any Void Realm exploration, and even how to return to reality from the Void Realm is still unknown.
Now, he did have the bones of an enemy in front of him, but Xu Bailian's bones did not send him back to reality.
And the most important thing is that in Bai Xiao's perception, the enemy did not disappear, but sublimated into a form that made people feel doubly tricky.
"You're one of the few people in the world of decay, but you're smarter than you seem. ”
In Bai Xiao's mind, Xu Bailian's voice suddenly sounded.
No, strictly speaking, that voice does not belong to Xu Bailian, but is parasitic on Xu Bailian's body, the voice of a foreign body outside the sky.
"You're right, thanks to your help, I've finally completely surrendered the shackles of the host, and as a thank you, this barren world is given to you, I hope you have a happy time here. ”
The next moment, in front of Bai Xiao's eyes, Xu Bailian's bones weathered and disappeared at an astonishing speed, and in the bones, a pitch-black shadow rose up.
"Finally, add another gift, this is the burial ground I have chosen for you, the place where the civilization that once belonged to the degraded species has disappeared, you can find a suitable tomb here. ”
