One day, Lu Heng heard a soft sound above his head for the first time.

The chains were turned, and he was slowly pulled out of his cell. The visitor gently removed the blindfold and said to him, "Don't open your eyes yet, or you will be blind." ”

Lu Heng smiled, he heard that this voice was a punishment, so he said, "Didn't you betray me to others?

Ah Xing silently stuffed something into Lu Heng's hand, and Lu Heng checked it, it was his long sword.

Ah Xing said: "Xiao Lu, I am a demon. Demons are not to blame for going to the bottom of things in order to survive. Do you know what those people are going to do to me? You don't know ......."

Before Lu Heng could speak, he chattered and explained. Later, there was obviously a crying tone in his voice.

After a while, he finally said, "Although I betrayed you, you still saved me." It would be too low for me to let them imprison you and remain indifferent. A demon can be without character, but not without style. Right?"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded: "Understood." ”

He knew that although Ah Xing had done something in the game, he had only poisoned the war horse and had not done anything worse. If he wanted to, there was a more secure way - such as destroying Lu Heng's long sword.

However, he did not do that.

From this point, Lu Heng glimpsed the struggle and hesitation in Ah Xing's heart.

No one is at fault, and being tolerant of others is often also tolerant of oneself. Although Lu Heng would no longer be his friend, he also gave up the idea of settling accounts after the autumn.

When he opened his eyes, they were in a desolate ruin.

Ah Xing looked around nervously and said in a low voice, "Run away, Xiao Lu." They'll be chasing them soon. After you leave, I won't be able to continue to mix in the Demon Realm, I will hide in the human world for a while. If it's fate, let's see you over there!"

Lu Heng waved his hand: "Slow." They said they were going to take my soul out and put another one in. Do you know whose soul it is?"

Ah Xing seemed to have guessed Lu Heng's thoughts, and his eyes widened in surprise and said, "No, no, don't even think about it." I won't tell you! Oh my God, when is this, you still want to get revenge? Don't dream brother, you can't play with them, if you can escape, you will win a big victory!"

"Nope. Lu Heng smiled and shook his head: "You know that's not my style." Tell me the name. ”

Ah Xing shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, listen: there is a very famous big stone in our demon world, called the Earth Lack Stone......"

The corners of Lu Heng's mouth raised slightly, and it was what he was looking for.

Ah Xing continued: "The lack of stones in that place has been in the demon world for a long time, and it has also been cultivated into a demon. Unlike us demons who have become monks halfway, this stone is extremely powerful in the turbidity of the Nine Lands. However, although his Genshin Impact is powerful, he does not have a strong body as support, so the demon kings organized this selection competition to choose a physical body for him. Xiao Lu, you can't beat its ......"

Lu Heng was noncommittal, but patted Ah Xing's shoulder: "Okay, you can go." I'm not going to die, I'm going to get caught. As you said, see you in the world if you are fated. ”

Ah Xing was already sweating profusely, and he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he crossed his arms in front of his chest and said goodbye to Lu Heng. Then he walked off his bulky legs into the distance, his figure disappearing behind a blaze of flames.

At the same time, Lu Heng took a step in the opposite direction.

Without guidance, he knew where the rocks were. His soul is the most accurate beacon.

The rocks resemble the bones of ancient beasts, surrounded by eight chains wider than bridges, clinging to a boulder in the middle.

If you look at it quietly for a moment, you will realize that this stone actually breathes.

Lu Heng walked into it, and a voice immediately appeared in his mind.

"You're here. It said.

"Yes, I'm here. Lu Heng replied: "I'm here to kill you." ”

The voice of the earth lack stone echoed in his mind again: "It is impossible to kill me, because my soul has long been integrated with you. At that time, I was dissatisfied with Rahu's arrangement and went out of my body on my own and found you in the mortal world. Until now, Rahu didn't know about it, and I wanted to laugh at the thought of that foolish look.

I'm just an empty shell now. The sound you hear is an echo of your own soul, and nothing else. You—or rather, we have long been unable to be separated. ”

"If you're not me, then where is the other me? I know he must exist, I'm going to find him. Lu Heng said.

"That's your heart, it's in Rahu's hands. If you want to break free from the shackles of fate, there is no other way but to win back your heart. ”

Lu Heng smiled: "It's simple and clear, I like it very much." Where's Rahu?"

"You don't need to look for him, because he will come for you. In fact, he's already here......" said Di Qishi.

I saw that the heavy chains began to tremble slightly, and even the scorching magma could not illuminate the surroundings.

Where Rahu came, darkness swallowed everything.

Before the people arrived, a burst of bloody gas was already coming.

Rahu was fond of black, and he wore black armor, a black cloak, and held a black sword. Only one of the eyes was green.

His left hand opened slightly, and a bright red object pulsed in the palm of his hand.

Lu Heng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, it was his heart.

There was also a man standing beside the Demon King, who was thin and covered his face with a hood. Lu Heng noticed that his scent was different from other demons.

Rahu, for example, exudes a terrifying aura of death all over his body, while this mysterious man seems to have a faint smell of sacredness around him. Like the curling green smoke of burning incense, around him.

But this can only deceive ordinary people, and the rancid smell mixed in it is much worse than that of Rahu.

"I knew you were coming. Rahu said. "With this heart, it's so easy to track your whereabouts,"

Lu Heng turned around, still smiling, but his smile was as cold as ice: "Do you know what happens if you take my heart?"

Luo Hu was startled, and snorted: "What a boldness! No one in the entire demon world except you dares to talk to me like this." Boy, I only need your shell, your heart and soul are of no use to me. I advise you not to move, and in a moment I will dig them out of your body. I promise, it won't last long. Come and die. ”

Lu Heng smiled: "I have another plan, the first step is to get my heart back, and the second step is to cut off your head and throw it here to feed the dogs." What do you think?"

The Demon King shook his head: "It's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about, a few years ago, the gods united to encircle and suppress, and only cut off my tail. Where did you get the confidence to cut off my head......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a flash of cold light, and suddenly there was a bang, and the broken rocks scattered and flew away. Lu Heng's long sword and Rahu's sword intersected. The whole book

No one could see exactly when Lu Heng came out with his sword, he was almost as fast as the wind and elusive.

However, what is even more incredible is that Rahu actually took this sword. In any way, the sneak attacker always has an advantage, and the strength of those who can defend against the sneak attack is often far superior to the enemy.

Although Rahu's long sword was trembling slightly, and cold sweat was running down his cheeks, Rahu finally took the next blow.

He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Boy, I underestimated you!"

Lu Heng used all his strength in this blow without reservation. Although he knew that Rahu was powerful, he didn't expect that he could block his long sword in a moment.

It's a pity that Rahu, as one of the strongest demon kings, is indeed far above Lu Heng's strength.

Lu Heng only felt the pain in the bones of his arm as if they were about to shatter. Pain is actually a protective mechanism, and at this moment it is reminding Lu Heng to retreat in spite of difficulties.

But it's a pity that a person without a heart doesn't understand this.

Lu Heng took two steps back, handed over the long sword to his left hand, and still pointed at Rahu.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly whispered a few words in Rahu's ear.

Luo Hu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

Lu Heng was about to fight again, when suddenly he said to him in his mind: "Slow, that man in black is a conspirator, and he has laid a poison plan waiting for you." Don't go over, you'll be fooled!"

"So what do you say you should do?"

"I have an idea. Rahu needs your body, so he won't kill you in battle. There are countless boiling magma in my body, and I will use them to create an explosion, a real earthquake, that Rahu would not have anticipated. In that moment of chaos, you aim for his left hand and you can take back the heart. Whether or not you can leave safely depends on your creation. ”

"What about you?" asked Lu Heng.

"I'm just an echo, an empty shell. I'm not conscious, it's all self-talk in your head, it has nothing to do with me. I've been imprisoned here long enough, and it's a relief to disappear. ”

"Good. Lu Heng nodded.

At this time, I only heard Luo Hu sneer: "Boy, why don't you use your right hand to draw the sword? Could it be that that hand can't be lifted anymore? It doesn't matter, I want your left hand to be unable to move this round." ”

Lu Heng ignored what he said, and just stabbed with his sword. The speed and strength of this sword were far from what they were just now, and Rahu laughed and swung his sword to block.

However, he never expected him to block the air.

I saw Lu Heng's long sword turn in the middle and stab at the man in black.

Luo Hu's heart turned seven or eight times, and he felt that he still couldn't abandon the man in black, so he flew and slashed at Lu Heng. This is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the enemy has to defend, intending to force Lu Heng to return to defense.

Sure enough, Lu Heng immediately withdrew his sword, but instead of fighting back as Luo Hu expected, he handed the long sword back to his right hand.

Rahu was shocked.

Lu Heng had been using body language to hint just now: his right hand could no longer move. This is a clever brainwashing technique, and even if he is as shrewd as a demon king, he will also fall for his way. Once a person believes in something, and when that thing changes, his heart will fall into deep self-doubt.

So Rahu couldn't guard against this sword.

The left hand that held the heart was released. Rahu was shocked and knew that he had been deceived. However, the demon king is the demon king after all, and he calmed down in the crisis. With a force of his fingertips, he actually threw that heart high up, and what he couldn't get, others couldn't even think of.

Lu Heng immediately jumped up and snatched his heart, and at this time, Rahu's heavy fist like a battering ram smashed down, hitting the top of his head.

At this moment, the earth lacks stone and exploded, absorbing enough magma to release ten thousand juns of heat in an instant.

A huge roar sounded, magma flowed in all directions, and the ground lacked stones like a new star buried deep in the earth. Rise, burst.

The explosion caused several results: Lu Heng's heart was lost and he didn't know where it went, and Rahu, who was at the center of the explosion, was seriously injured and paid the price of his left hand to protect the mysterious man. Although it would be reborn in a few years, this battle was still an unacceptable shame for him, and Lu Heng followed the air flow of the explosion upward, and the flames lifted him out of the earth's crust like a pair of powerful arms.

He was hit the head, and the blast was blowing, and he woke up with no memory of anything. He looked left and right, and found that the people around him were fighting frantically, and this place was called Huangzhou......

Lu Heng's soul returned to the dark lake, where the imprisoned heart was waiting for him.

"Where did you go after?" Lu Heng asked.

"I can't answer you yet. And the heart said unto him.

The second light on the lake was also extinguished, and the last one shone lonely, crumbling in the darkness.

"It's the last chance if you fail......"

"I understand. Lu Heng nodded: "If we fail, we will never meet again." ”

"Yes. The heart replied. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Before the final expedition begins, I have a question to ask. What did you gain from these two expeditions? Each time you tried your best against fate, but without exception, you failed. Everything has inexplicably gone down the old path, does this mean that fate is irresistible?"

Lu Heng smiled, and the warm firelight reflected on his face.

"Nothing has changed? I just feel that the scales of fate have begun to tip. It's minor, but there's already a crack in the dark door, and all I'm going to do is keep knocking. When he finally breaks, who's going to say that my previous efforts have been in vain?"

"Okay. The heart replied, "May you succeed this time, where do you want to go?"

Lu Heng smiled: "I realized a problem, it seems that I can't do it with my own strength, I need to join forces with another person." ”

"Teaming up? ...... you mean?"

"That's right, it's him." Lu Heng nodded: "It's the person you think." ”

"But ......" Xin hesitated: "He has only met you once, and he is not your friend." It could even be your enemy, are you sure you want to entrust your last hope to him?"

"Sure. I don't believe in him, but in humanity. I believe that humanity can overcome darkness, that's all. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

The tide came up, and the third lamp, which had been dim, suddenly burned hot. It's so brilliant and dazzling, like a beautiful firework.

Hopefully, this light won't be as fleeting as fireworks.
