Chapter 115: Progress
Time: Not much has passed since the previous battle.
Location: Still Jimo in the East China Sea.
It was obviously a day of lanterns and temple fairs, but at this moment, the coastal villages and towns were deserted, empty, and there was no one in sight, because all the villagers had already moved to Yinxiang Mountain under the guidance and entered the formation.
This is an act of last resort, at least it can effectively hide the traces of the villagers, and protect them, as long as the Hidden Fragrance Mountain is not violently attacked, then under the joint efforts of the local mountain gods and fox fairies, the safety of the villagers is still very guaranteed.
So there is only an empty village and town left in Jimo, and there are still many trampled snacks and snacks on the streets and alleys, knocked over stalls and goods, and from the steaming food, you can also see how lively it was before.
But now all that's left is a mess, and some of the buildings have even collapsed and collapsed in the aftermath of the previous aftermath, turning into ruins, as if they had been swept away by a huge typhoon.
"Or let them run away......"
Looking at the sky gloomily, Saber, who was standing on the shore of Jimo Sea, couldn't help but sigh, the group of people who had just attacked came and went quickly, but she didn't leave even one person behind.
Although he knew that this was a crime of non-war, after all, he couldn't do anything, but such a record still made the king of constant victories feel quite disgraced.
"It's not a bad thing, if you kill them all, it will cause trouble for your master......" Xiuyu said calmly, but her tone seemed a little indifferent, as if there was an extra sense of sadness and joy.
"I know this, it's just that the woman really makes me feel ...... It's not good, I hate her ......"
Saber sighed again and said very depressedly.
Just like the second vampire who received the treasure in the face before, the reason why she stopped at the last moment was because she received a warning from the space, and found that once the killer was killed, it would bring a lot of trouble.
It's just that although she subconsciously retracted a little bit of strength, it was indeed an important reason, and another important reason was the nun who suddenly appeared-
It seems to be a gentle and pious believer, but it is not only faith and ideas, but the real strength is also terrifying beyond imagination, it is almost like a human form that exudes an endless divine halo between walking, or a balloon filled with holy power.
The scene at that time was also very shocking-
The holy splendor that flowed like a raging wave spread over the earth, as if it were about to extend directly to the very end of the world, and the light gathered into a gigantic cross, almost occupying the entire sky overhead, emitting a divine wave.
The nun's own soft prayer seemed to become ethereal and vast under this amplification, and the huge holy cross turned into illusory light and shadow behind her, and the gaps in the clouds were pushed away by the majestic holy power on both sides, and the grand holy light paved the steps......
It was as if the reflection of a vast kingdom was reflected in the time and space behind him.
It was an extremely majestic and skillful use of holy power, as if divine rules were being made, and it descended on mortals like the will of the gods.
The heavens are the glory of the Lord, and the heavens are the work of God—at least for a moment, the nun seemed to really control the whole heaven and earth, like the spokesman of the gods in the earth, the earthly agent of miracles.
Purely in terms of feelings, Artoria even felt that the other party did not seem to be much inferior to her own master, and she was afraid that she had the strength to fight against the master...... It is hard to imagine that all the clergy who have chosen the path of faith have been able to go so far.
Such a strong man suddenly made a move, took everyone away, and left the battlefield in an instant, if he didn't have the corresponding ability, he really couldn't stop it.
It's just that a new problem has arisen in this way-
That nun seemed to be in league with the other party, since she had such power, why did she retreat decisively at this time? Is there a perceived threat, or is it something else?
If you don't approve of your teammates' actions in the first place, why not stop them in the first place? After all, no matter how you look at it, it seems impossible for her teammates to say that they have more say than her.
Saber frowned, recalling all the events that had happened not long ago, the details of the scene replaying in his mind, not letting go of any suspicious places.
Slowly, she discovered a suspicion -
It seemed that when the nun suddenly appeared and forcibly took the people away, the people were also very shocked, almost speechless, as if they were about to stare out their eyes.
Could it be that even they themselves didn't know that their teammates had such immense power? Whether it was the nun who had just broken through to a certain level, or whether she had been plotting something all along, Taoguang had been obscure for a long time.
Unlike Artoria's frowning contemplation, as if she was summarizing after the battle, Xiuyu silently withdrew her gaze, looked down at the slender sword in her hand, and savored the strange state of mind at this moment.
She also exerted a lot of strength just now, and looking at the winding coastline covered in ice around her, she should know how terrible her output was just now.
Large swaths of the sea have been frozen, the solid ice is exuding an incomparably cold aura, and the entire ocean seems to have become a vast stretch of Arctic glacier-like scenery......
However, the power to do all this is more of the power of Wangshu, even if she hasn't practiced much, but when she can really stimulate some of the power a little, she already has the momentum of Taiyin Wuji and ghosts and gods.
It can be called devastating and invincible!
However, this kind of thing didn't make her mood fluctuate, it seemed that the matter that had been planned for so long before, and finally successfully launched the plan, suddenly became not worth mentioning.
There's nothing to be happy about, and there's nothing to care about what will happen in the future, just whatever, I don't care at all......
Xiuyu knew that there was something wrong with her state, and she had been affected by the Wangshu Sword, after all, after trying to transform her physique and spiritual power attributes, she did meet the criteria for being the Wangshu Sword's body.
So after borrowing this sword from Yun Tianhe, just after coming into contact with it, this sword has already immediately regarded her as a host, after all, there is no intelligent program control, and its criteria for choosing the master are also simple and rude.
And no one has ever stipulated that Wangshu Jian must only have one master at a time. Therefore, the marks of Xiuyu and Han Lingsha exist in the sword at the same time, and whoever uses it can use it, and whoever has more strength or is closer will absorb whomever it has.
- It's as simple as that.
It's just that the impact is really terrifying, Han Lingsha only awakened the sword, but never really used its power, so I can't see it yet. On the contrary, Xiuyu's body came from behind, and after really using the power of Wangshu, the eroded progress bar soared all of a sudden, surpassing Han Lingsha.
It was only a brief use of its true power, and Xiuyu sensed that the cold power had penetrated into her bone marrow, and it had taken root like an appendage.
Although it is only a slight trace at present, it will continue to grow as it cultivates itself or continues to use the Wangshu Sword, bringing serious hidden dangers to its body and mind......
The body will be afraid of cold, even in the dog days, under the scorching sun, it is difficult to feel the slightest warmth; In terms of spirituality, emotions will gradually be suppressed, as if covered by ten thousand years of ice, and gradually become extremely indifferent, until the six relatives do not recognize and are cold-blooded and ruthless.
If you want to resist such a tendency, you must combine the power of the Yang and the Fierce Xi to hedge, so as to perfectly counteract the erosion of Wangshu Han Poison...... If it weren't for the power of Xihe, which was exactly the same, with completely opposite attributes, and completely hedged with effect, the other Yang Spirit Creatures probably wouldn't have been able to exert such a perfect effect of canceling each other.
It is no wonder that the sword masters of the two swords need to cultivate each other, which is also an inevitable requirement for coordinating yin and yang and maintaining their own state with the help of the power of the other sword, otherwise, although the sword master's cultivation can easily progress by leaps and bounds, it will definitely lead to the result of losing control and self-destruction.
It's a high-risk, high-reward path that is quite dangerous.
Xiuyu inserted the Wangshu sword into the beach by the sea, no longer directly touching this dangerous fairy sword for the time being, and tried to mobilize herself, disintegrating the influence of the cold artistic conception on herself.
Not far away, there are two sword lights patrolling, and they don't seem to be at ease, so they must carefully ensure safety.
Moreover, those two sword lights belonged to Murong Ziying and Dao Yan respectively...... These two people, who were still tense before, had to put aside their prejudices and join forces for the time being under the threat of a sudden foreign enemy invading Jimo and almost slaughtering the town.
And it is conceivable that after this incident has passed, even if Murong Ziying no longer has a taste in her heart, it is not good to immediately turn her face with Dao Yan and his wife, and draw her sword against each other...... The so-called human relationship is often such a delicate thing, even if it is a so-called cultivator and a sword immortal who has entered the world, it is impossible to avoid vulgarity at all.
It can't be said that they joined forces against the enemy before, and they were united with the outside world, and when the enemy retreated and the threat was lifted, they immediately turned their faces ruthlessly, and they didn't recognize anyone when they put on their pants, right? No matter how strong Murong Ziying is, he can't do such a thing.
"Xiuyu."
The sword light fell, and the young swordsman in blue shirt and white clothes didn't look at the Shushan outcasts around him, and directly cared about his master and nephew-
"How's it going for you, is there anything wrong?"
"I don't have anything to do, Uncle Lao is worried." The girl said calmly, her tone uninhibited.
"It's fine, it's just this sword...... It's really a little strange that there is such a terrifying power. Murong Ziying nodded, still looking at the frozen sea with unease, "Or give it back to Yun Tianhe...... No, it's better to leave it to me for safekeeping, and I'll ask the head of the house later to see if there's anything wrong. ”
"It's fine." The girl did not object, and directly handed over the Wangshu sword.
She didn't suspect Murong Ziying, after all, the other party was not such a person, and she didn't see the huge power of the fairy sword and coveted it, so she wanted to take it for herself. Instead, he really felt that the power of this fairy sword was too strong, and he was worried that it would hurt her or Yun Tianhe.
After all, sharp weapons can not only hurt others, but also hurt oneself, if one's own ability is not enough to master such a magic weapon, it is often like a child dancing a sledgehammer, harmful and unprofitable.
"The group seems to have receded, I ...... I've just searched for hundreds of miles, and I haven't been able to see any trace of them, so I just don't know if they have anything to do with the thieves from before......"
Murong Ziying took the Wangshu sword and put it into the sword gate behind him, and then said with a straight face.
"And it's not clear if those demons have gone away today and will return tomorrow, so in my opinion, it's better to wait here for a while, and then make a decision after that one returns......
Although I was in the middle of the valley, I was delayed when I came out, and I was not able to see the whole thing from the beginning.
But Murong Ziying also knew some inside information, knowing that it was a group of demons who raided Jimo today, and happened to meet the wandering immortal coming back, and as a result, he hit the steel plate headlong...... He had some doubts that the immortal had foreseen this happening, so he would return to Jimo at this time.
Otherwise, it is impossible to come back specifically for yourself and others, right?
However, that group of people is not a small role, but a very powerful group of people, and the sense of oppression brought by the strange woman after that is no less than that of the immortal...... This made Murong Ziying very worried.
At this time, he felt that it was best to stay here in Jimo, lest that group of demons make a comeback, and he and the others could at least delay for a moment or two.
"It's all up to Uncle Shi to ......decide," Xiuyu nodded, and then pretended to be a little puzzled and asked, "But speaking of which, why did Uncle Shi and the others suddenly appear here?" ”
She has a valid reason, and she came to Jimo a few days earlier than the protagonist group.
Therefore, it is reasonable to ask at this moment, and at the same time, it can also dispel the other party's doubts about this aspect.
"This ......" Murong Ziying hesitated for a moment, "Actually, we are here this time mainly to find a cold weapon called Guangji Hantu, as for what it is for, we can't tell Xiuyu your ...... for the time being."
"Hikari Hantu? I think I've heard of this before—"
Although it has always been deliberately ignored by Murong Ziying as a transparent person, the Dao Yan on the side is happy to see it, at least this is better than being as aggressive and tense as before, which shows that the other party already has the mind to turn a blind eye.
So at this time, hearing a term that felt a little familiar, Dao Yan hurriedly spoke, planning to continue to buy Murong Ziying's favor-
"That cold weapon seems to be in the hands of the local mountain god, I don't know if you know him, his name is Xia Yuanchen, we all call him Xia Shusheng......"
