69 Death is also a new beginning
All the sounds of the fight around us had nothing to do with us, and all that was left was him crying, and I could only watch him cry quietly.
"You, you won't understand......"
His crying voice had become very weak and fragile, as if he had reached the brink of collapse, without any of the majesty of his past, and looked like a weak boy.
"The feeling that Xiaoxue is dying little by little in my arms, there is no way at all, no matter how much I regret it, I blame myself for embarking on this road of no return, causing chaos in this world, no matter what I do, I can't save it. Even if I die, I can't change it, it just makes me feel like a demon who has destroyed everything and fled. β
He looked up at me with a burning gaze and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"So I had no choice but to go back to this time, to stop me from becoming a youkai, or even to kill myself. Only by doing so will nothing happen!"
He took Azima in his hands and stood up again.
"I'm going to kill you today!"
He lunged at me with his sword in his hand, and I held the bricks to block his attacks again and again, and kept backing away.
"Die!"
The sword fell and was heavy.
"Why don't you want to die? You killed everyone!"
Another sword slammed down, making my arm tingle.
"Why......"
His tears splashed onto Azima, and when Azima swung them down, the tears were thrown to my chest.
Does it hurt? It hurts.
What he said hurt my heart, but what was it compared to the pain he endured?
"I don't like that!" I yelled, fighting back with my grip on the bricks, knocking him backwards.
"That's right! Those pains are really painful! If it were me, the future would really be the same as what you said, and I might choose to go back to the present and kill myself!"
The sword and the bricks were crossed, and he and I glared at each other.
"Then why do you still have the idea of saving youkai?!"
"This question should be asked to yourself, how much you wanted to make a good life for youkai in the first place, how much you wanted to save youkai!"
"This kind of thing can't be done at all!"
He kicked me to the ground. I rolled over and dodged the sword that followed. Jump up and fight him again with a brick.
"Why do you say it so absolutely?! If it's really not possible, then why did you work so hard in the first place?"
"That's because I was so naΓ―ve in the first place! so naΓ―ve that I killed countless people!"
He flew up again and kicked me down. This time, I tripped him over him with my sweeping leg as soon as I fell. Just as I was about to pounce on him and whip him with a brick, he threw a black ball at me, which I blocked with my brick-based shield, but it was blown far away, rolling on the ground and round and round.
He stood up with Azima in one hand, furious.
"Why don't you just understand ......?"
"It's you who don't understand!"
I scrambled to my feet, stood in front of him and shouted, "Now is now, and now I will either make mistakes again or go down the same path as you." But there are many roads in the future, and it is not necessarily the dead road you have walked! As long as there is hope, I will try to find the right way. Take the youkai and let the cultivators, all the people in the world, accept us in a peaceful and loving way! If you don't leave, there will be no mistakes, but if you stay where you are and keep regretting because you are afraid that you will make a mistake, then the situation in which the monsters live so painfully will never change!"
He was so angry that his whole body trembled.
"Kill you, you must kill such a stupid and naΓ―ve you!"
He gritted his teeth and raised his sword, ready to fight me again, and I was ready to fight.
But what I never expected was that his face changed, and the magic sword in his hand suddenly flew towards me. I thought it was his flying sword skills, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly held a brick in front of me.
But strangely, the magic sword was stuck in the land in front of me, and it didn't mean to hurt me.
This is...... Did Azima betray him?
Almost instantly, I was running towards Azima at the same time as him. He was faster than me, but I got closer to Azima and held it.
As soon as I touched Azima, I heard her raging complaints in my head.
"Stupid stupid stupid! The slave family has seen enough, and the slave family can't stand such a stupid and foolish wood holly anymore. Xiao Qingzi, you go and wake up that scumbag right now!"
"You should have flown back a long time ago, stupid Azima!"
"What did you say?!"
He was about to rush over and grab his sword, but I made him fall back three feet with a wave of my hand.
He gritted his teeth: "Damn! Azima, you actually betrayed me?!"
Now the situation has changed in my favor. I carried my sword and said arrogantly: "Muddy boy, Azima said that she can't stand you as a stupid fool, tell me to wake you up, you just stand there and obediently let me cut a few times!"
"Cut, villain has will!"
"So what?"
I ran straight towards him with a brick in one hand and a magic sword in the other. And he released a black ball of energy at me with his right hand, and I swung my sword to split the ball apart. His thousand-year-old demon pupil spun and shrunk into a small dot, shooting a red laser at me, and I used the brick as a shield to block it.
Approaching step by step, his face showed a look of horror.
Closely, he flew up with a kick, and I blocked it with a brick, smashing his face with a painful look. I swept a sword, and he ducked away from his back. And by the time he got back on his feet, my bricks had been slapped hard against him in the face.
"Eat grandpa's bricks, you grandson!"
The bricks smashed into his face, causing him to face the other side, saliva flying, and a few teeth drifting away in the wind.
The moment he was knocked away, I heard his muffled scolding.
"Your uncle's ......"
In the sky, a thunderclap rang out.
The world of Ragnarok is only two seconds, whether it is the burning flames in the sky and the earth, or the giant demon in battle, all of them become a spatial curve and are sucked into the thousand-year-old demon pupil of the future wood holly.
In an instant, it was back in the Pacific Ocean.
I had a feeling that I couldn't react, but I immediately distributed the eight-point demonic qi circuit under my feet and stepped on the water. And he, lying on the surface of the sea in a big shape, looked up at the sky, with blood on his mouth, as if he was in a daze, or he had been slapped stupidly by me.
The huge king on the sea turned back into the appearance of the bad old man of Zao Wou-Ki and stepped on the sea. Seeing Jiang Ziya weakly falling from the sky into the sea in the distance, he glanced at me and Future Mu Dongqing, and saw that we would not pk again in a short time, so he immediately tread water to Jiang Ziya.
I stood next to him and said, "Okay, you've lost." Admit defeat, don't pretend to be forced, if you pretend to force me, I will still shoot you with a brick. β
He sighed and said, "You know what? You're such a scumbag, a scumbag. β
"Less scolding yourself. β
The sky was still covered with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the power of the brilliant sky was terrifying.
Needless to say, I knew that his third tribulation was coming.
"Surely you will die?" I asked.
He smiled wryly: "Definitely." β
"Why don't you try it? Or maybe you can carry this catastrophe. β
His eyes showed a strange light, and there was some spirit on his face.
"Ah, yes, I've lost my confidence after so many failures, so it's better to try. β
He got up again, touched my face that hurt from my bricks, and said angrily, "I really want to beat you up." β
"Come on, come on, hit me if you have a kind. β
He threw me on the ground at sea with one punch and snatched Azima from my hands.
Looking up at the sky for a while, he jumped into the sky and flew straight up.
"Heavenly Dao, why are you playing tricks on me!"
He flew all the way up, shouting all the way. The skin on the body began to crack, revealing a bewitching red light, and soon the whole body became pitch black, even stronger, and even black fish scales, and a huge snake scale tail suddenly grew behind him, stretching out his claws, revealing two long snake teeth, and his face was hideous.
This is what the Demon King Snake Demon really looks like!
When the thunder fell, he waved Azima, a deadly anti-thunderbolt, and the sky was full of brilliant thunder.
"I, Mu Holly, will never give in to you!"
A large ball of thunder formed in the clouds and slammed down, forcing him towards the surface. But he resisted the thunderball, and after descending for a while, he swooped back into the sky. The thunderball exploded violently, sending large black scales off of his body. But that didn't stop him from continuing to stand in the sky, shouting to the sky.
"Come on, come again, God Dao, you bastard, even if you can play with me and kill me, you can never destroy my will!"
The sky was still flashing and thundering, and just as I was looking worriedly at the future wood holly above, Zao Wou-Ki carried Jiang Ziya, who had turned into black hair and black eyes, to tread water. It's not that Jiang Ziya has fainted, but that he can't step on the water with his true qi sealed.
The situation is critical, but I still joked to Jiang Ziya: "Hey, little Jiang, do you still need grandpa to hug this child when he's so old?"
Jiang Ziya was behind Zao Wou-Ki and turned his head to glare at me angrily.
"Wait for the whip, bastard!"
The waves on the sea surface became even more turbulent, and Zao Wou-Ki cast a spell on Jiang Ziya to put Jiang Ziya down. And Jiang Ziya was dizzy, still stepping on the sea, looking up at the future wood holly in the sky to fight against the heavenly calamity.
Jiang Ziya said coldly: "If he had released this form at the beginning, he might have defeated me." β
Me: "Didn't he already defeat you?"
"Less nonsense, inexplicably converted a space, and a few powerful monsters appeared in it to deal with Uncle Ben, is this a heads-up?"
But this is still one of the abilities of the thousand-year-old demon pupil.
We looked at the future wood holly in the sky, and after withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation for a while, he gradually appeared wounds of varying degrees, and looked tired.
Zhao Wuji said lightly: "It seems that he finally understands that he can't resist the third heavenly tribulation, and is ready to give up." β
"Huh, you're going to give up?"
I said angrily, "It's really useless, it looks like I'm going to have to go up too." β
Zhao Wuji said solemnly: "Don't keep doing some stupid things, the third heavenly tribulation can punish the gods, and the power is not trivial." If you're a little bit worse, you're dead. β
"That's a lot of nonsense. β
I was about to rush forward with the bricks turned into shields: "How can I accept that I am so useless, standing and waiting for death!"
"You, then you wait!"
Seeing that I couldn't persuade me, Zao Wou-Ki cast a spell on me, and a blue light defense shield with six shuttles was fully protected.
After applying it, he still advised: "Don't do nonsense, if you die, everything will be useless." β
"Got it. β
Jiang Ziya suddenly took out the Kunlun Mirror from the small cloth bag and threw it to me.
"Catch. β
"Oh?"
I took the Kunlun mirror, touched this quaint little mirror, and looked at Jiang Ziya strangely.
Jiang Ziya said to me unhappily: "As Uncle Ben's slave, if you die, Uncle Ben will find someone to buy delicious and fun things back." β
"Hey, what a tsundere little ghost. β
Without further ado, I immediately flew into the sky and quickly came to the lightning and thunder area.
All I heard in my ears was thunder, and the roar of Mirai Wood Holly striking away the thunder and lightning.
I looked at him and saw that he was already in a lot of pain, and after withstanding the waves of thunder in the sky, he had no strength to shout to the sky anymore.
Another huge thunderbolt slashed at him, and just as he was about to raise his sword to greet him, I flew up first, holding the Kunlun Mirror that emitted a strong blue light in his surprised gaze, and used the mirror to bounce the thunder into the sky, shooting through a cloud.
However, even with the Kunlun Mirror and the layer of defensive cover that Zao Wou-Ki applied to me, I still withstood a lot of voltage from the heavenly thunder, and the electricity made my whole body numb, and my whole body seemed to have convulsions.
He scolded behind me: "Go back, you can't stop such a powerful thunder now!"
After the convulsions, I turned around and said stubbornly, "No, I just want to taste the thrill of being electrified and my heart beats faster." β
"Stupid!"
"Fool is talking about yourself!"
A few more thunderbolts fell, and I could only block one and couldn't tell the difference, but he also scattered the rest of the thunderbolts one at a time.
He still looked back at me tiredly and shouted, "Don't you still want to protect those monsters, and protect those monsters in Xiaoxue Luqi's house, there are more and more lives, do you plan to die here with me?"
I used the bricks to disperse another thunderbolt and looked back at him.
"But do you think I'm willing to watch you die here?!At least let me do my best to help myself, even if I can't help much in the end, even if you still have to die in the end, but at least I'm going to do everything I can to do this!"
He was stunned by my yelling, helpless, he nodded and said, "Do your best, I will do my best to deal with this catastrophe, but at least don't die here." β
"Don't worry about it!"
Another wave of lightning struck down from the sky, and he and I roared and flew towards the thunder and lightning in the sky......
The sky was dark, and the lightning flashed and thundered......
I don't know how many waves of thunder I have withstood ......
Finally, the end has arrived......
The catastrophe stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the clouds in the sky cast one dawn after another, shining on the sea.
The sea was quiet, the waves slowly lowered their undulations, and there were no more waves, nor any fluctuations, as smooth and calm as a mirror.
The sky has never been clearer, and the sea has never been calmer.
The white clouds in the sky are projected on the surface of the sea, and the sea surface reflects the sky, as if it is the same blue-white painting, real, the water and the sky are the same color.
And under this beautiful sky like a picture scroll, above the sea, there is a person lying quietly.
The form of the snake demon, covered in scars, and scorched black everywhere, made him look particularly hideous and hateful. But the faint nebula eyes reflected the sky, and it looked so beautiful.
The three of us stood beside him and looked at him quietly, our expressions so solemn.
He looked at the sky for a long time, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "Thank you, you forgave me and let me see such a beautiful sky." β
I muttered, "It's nothing, forgive you and don't forgive myself?"
"Be sure to protect Xiaoxue and the others......"
"That's for sure. β
"It is important to resolve the issue in a peaceful manner. β
"Well...... Try your best, if anyone dares to mess with me, I'll still take a brick and flip him in front of him. β
"Oh, that's cheap. β
Jiang Ziya: "If you want to go, don't worry, Uncle Ben will help you in the next thing...... If you're in a good mood. β
He smiled and said with difficulty, "Thank you, little ghost." β
"You bastard......"
His eyes turned to Zao Wou-Ki, and Zao Wou-Ki's face was like that of an old-fashioned old man.
"What I entrust to you......"
"Don't worry, the old man has his own arrangements, and when the time comes, he will implement it. β
He smiled again with satisfaction, and slowly raised a holding hand to me. I immediately reached over and grabbed his hand, and he placed the pendant Azima on the palm of my hand.
His voice, through Azima, came to my head.
"Scum, maybe you should have known earlier that the person you love the most is actually - Winter Rose. There's a long headache waiting for you, hehe......"
At least, he was smiling when he said those last words.
After handing Azima to me, his hand slipped out of my hand.
I looked at him blankly.
Soon, the demonic energy on his body was no longer under the control of his consciousness, and it emitted from his body in a red-black smoke.
Zhao Wuji sighed and squatted down, closing the eyes that were still slightly open with his hands.
"Life and death have fate, providence makes people, no matter success or failure, heroes, always sleep peacefully. β
His body slowly sank into the water, and kept sinking.
I held Azima in my hands, listening to Azima's cry in my head, and my heart was indescribably sad. However, he could only quietly watch as his figure gradually became swallowed up by the deep invisible darkness, becoming more and more blurred, until finally, he was no longer visible.
The sky is clear, the sea breeze is calm, and the sea is as calm as a mirror.
The end of a youkai and the beginning of an era......
