Chapter 3: On the Deadwood Cliff

Deadwood Cliff is a steep mountain cliff with nothing on the cliff except for a dead tree on the side of the cliff that has long been weathered and decayed, hence the name Deadwood Cliff.

It's just that now, on the empty dead wood cliff, there is one more thing. Under the dead tree, which was originally lonely, there was a corpse hanging at this moment, a white bone to be exact.

The mountain breeze on the cliff was gentle, and the white bones swayed gently, making a faint clicking sound.

"No—"

Seeing such a situation, Gu Xing roared and pounced.

He thought that no matter how shameless Zhuo Jue was, he would follow the tradition of the demon clan and bury his father well. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Jue hung his father on the cliff and let the birds eat up.

For three hundred years, his father was hung here, reduced to white bones.

"No—"

Maybe it was because I heard the wail of the ancient star, or maybe I felt the boundless anger, the stars in the sky all lit up, and the few in the east were exceptionally bright.

Just when Gu Xing was grief-stricken, a tearing pain suddenly came from his body.

It was as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh and bones, tearing his body apart, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground and curl up. The mountain wind blew on his face, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.

"Father...... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through. ”

Gu Xing smiled self-deprecatingly, he knew his body. Since he was sensible, his father told him that the demon king was born with a terminal illness.

Every 100 years, the night of the nine stars will be the most difficult time. Only by using the innate demonic power to transform back into the form of a beast can we resist this pain and suppress the terminal illness, otherwise we will be wiped out.

In the past, every time he came to this time, he would transform to resist this terminal disease, but since he was imprisoned and tortured, his demonic power has been continuously lost, and it is difficult to condense it anymore. A hundred years ago today, after the last transformation, it was no longer possible to condense the slightest.

Even if he endured it for a hundred years and finally mustered up a little strength, he still failed.

"Hehe, this kind of death is not cheap to beat that traitor. ”

Thinking like this, Gu Xing was a little relieved. It is more glorious to die under one's own terminal illness than to die in the prison of the enemy.

At this moment, the bright moon in the sky suddenly emitted a scarlet light, and in the eastern sky, nine stars lined up in a line, and they also burst out with bright scarlet light. At such a vision, even the earth began to tremble.

Gu Xing closed his eyes in resignation.

Just when he thought he was going to fall into an eternal sleep, a bright light suddenly appeared in his mind, and a gentle and warm breath overflowed from the depths of his body, slowly filling his limbs.

He was surprised and opened his eyes suddenly.

Everything in front of him has changed, the originally lonely dead wood cliff has become green in the blink of an eye, the dead wood is gone, the white bones of my father are gone, the soft and dense grass is under him, and the peach blossom trees are blooming in front of him.

The mountain breeze blows, and the peach blossoms are sprinkled down one after another, and under the bright moonlight, it is particularly charming.

Gu Xing blinked vigorously and saw a familiar figure appear in the chaotic peach blossoms.

"Father!"

With Gu Xing's shout, the figure under the peach blossom tree became clear. The other party was dressed in a long robe, with a fairy wind and bones, and he was also looking at Gu Xing at this time, smiling.

"Father, you're not dead?!"

Gu Xing struggled to stand up, but he was too weak and failed to try several times, so he simply crawled under the peach blossom tree.

"No, my child, I'm dead. The figure under the tree shook his head slightly. "All you're seeing now is an illusion. ”

Gu Xing, who originally wanted to struggle to climb over, immediately stopped when he heard this, and burst into tears.

"No...... Not ......"

He shook his head desperately, trying to deny the claim, and he didn't want to believe it.

"If you can see me, it means that you already have the perseverance to fight against the torture of the ten terminal demon veins without demon power, and only with this resolute perseverance can you let go of the mustard and let this so-called terminal disease completely transform your body. The figure under the tree approving.

Gu Xing wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it.

He was not ready to transform with demonic power, but directly resisted this torture with his will. But this was not his own choice, but he was forced to be helpless, and he even felt that it was a relief to be tortured to death.

"Listen to me, child, I don't have much time, you have to listen carefully. The figure under the tree sighed sadly. "Our demon king is in the same vein, and the innate demon power is extremely powerful, and after getting the inheritance of the exercises of "Ten Thousand Demons Killing the Heavens", we can live with heaven and earth, and we will not be old or destroyed. But this inheritance is not easy to obtain, and we must have the determination to die happily in order to become one with this inheritance. ”

Before the words fell, many words appeared in Gu Xing's mind, and they seemed to have some kind of powerful magic, entangled with Gu Xing's will, melting, intertwining, and finally merging into one.

The four words of "Ten Thousand Demons Punish the Sky" finally turned into a ball of golden light and melted into his sea of knowledge.

The pain that seemed to tear through the body was gone, replaced by warmth, and the limbs could feel a little comfortable. Even the demonic power that had been depleted in the body began to gradually recover.

"Only you can cultivate, and it will be inseparable from you. I can't watch you grow up, but I want you to make your way out of your own, Xing'er. ”

As these words were spoken, all the scenes shook and gradually dissipated like a mirror.

Gu Xing saw the dead wood and white bones that reappeared in front of him, and his heart was stunned. He understood what his father meant, this inheritance can only be inherited by one person, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and there is no second person in the world who can have it.

"Father......" Gu Xing's tears burst out of his eyes, he knew that his father was really gone.

The scarlet moon gradually faded in color, and the nine stars slowly dispersed, as if there was not much change between heaven and earth. Only Gu Xing knew that everything had changed.

"It seems that the inheritance is over. ”

An abrupt voice broke Gu Xing's contemplation and made his eyes widen suddenly.

Zhuo Jue appeared on the Deadwood Cliff with Luo Wolf, followed by a masked man in black!

"You!Why are you here?!" Gu Xing was surprised.

When he left the torture hall, he thought he was finally free. But at this time, when he saw Zhuo Jue, the smile on his face was clearly laughing at his naivety, and there was even a hint of a sense that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"I didn't get the exercise cheats, how could I be willing to let you die. ”

Zhuo Jue Shi Ran walked over and looked at Gu Xing who was on the ground, smiling, with a naked greedy look in his eyes.

"Come on, hand over your inheritance exercises, and I can spare you from dying. ”

"You planned it!"

Gu Xing's mind immediately sounded an alarm bell, he expected that things were not simple, but he didn't expect that this was an outstanding trap at all, everything was acting, just waiting for him to drill into it himself. That's right, if you haven't been able to give in for three hundred years, the other party will definitely think of other ways.
