Dusk, sunset.
The light of the setting sun was reflected, illuminating the mountains, rocks, and trees into a dark red color. The evening mist was vast, and the color was about to fade.
The mountain was very high, so the sky was very close. At eye level, one could see a crescent moon slowly rising, hidden among the short pine trees and rocks. The empty mountain was secluded, and the water was flowing. The grass was everywhere, and the hills were undulating. It felt both desolate and lonely.
However, in Tian Ruoqing's eyes, this evening was extremely familiar. At this moment, she recalled the past, and all the things that happened when she was a child flashed through her mind.
When he was tired, he would sit with his sister on his knees, listening to the wind and watching the moon on the top of the mountain. They would talk about their future, talk and laugh, and occasionally mention the passing of their parents. They would often hug and cry. They were sad and afraid, as if there was no one else in the world at that moment. They were the only ones who relied on each other and missed each other.
The sisters who had smiled at each other when they were happy, hugged each other when they were sad, and relied on each other when they were in danger, now had to face each other with hostility and swords until either one of them died in the end.
Thinking of this, Tian Ruoqing couldn't help but sigh,""Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid that I'll even lose my last family member!”
In fact, there had been incidents between them that affected their relationship as sisters, but they had only affected them for a while. After that, they both let go and reconciled. Although their relationship was no longer as close as before, their friendship was still far better than ordinary friends.
"Sister! You actually "
Looking at her right arm that had been injured by a sword, she immediately shouted in her heart. This voice was filled with resentment as she unconsciously muttered,""You actually drew your sword to hurt me for him, for him!"
She looked at the sword in her hand again. This was a peerless weapon from the Immortal Sword Divine Realm.
She didn't know why, but she habitually made the gesture of a Marquis with her sword.
At this moment, she didn't want to kill anyone, not even a demon.
This was just a special habit, or rather, a response to the fact that he could not change the past.
Di Sheng was looking at it. He had seen it more than once.
After a long time, he said," Even if you are not going to meet Lady Peach Blossom today, I don't think your relationship should change because of this!”
"It's not that I want to change, but the actual situation is beyond my control!”Tian Ruoqing smiled,"" I think you should know better than me that there are many such things in the world. It seems that you are in control, but you can't control it in the blink of an eye. Such things often happen to your family or friends, whether they are of the same sex or the opposite sex. Once it really happens, you seem to have no better choice but to accept it completely!”
Di Sheng immediately understood. In fact, using the words "the world is unpredictable" was enough to express these words. If there was no special intention, there was naturally no need to repeat them.
But comparatively speaking, he believed that the world was unpredictable more than Tian Ruoqing, or rather, he had a deeper understanding of this concept.
He didn't have any thoughts about this, nor did he struggle in his heart. Instead, he smiled calmly."The world is naturally unpredictable. Moreover, you and I are only humans, not gods! Let bygones be bygones, just treat it as if it was destined. But now, perhaps I should remind you that regardless of the final outcome, your sister is innocent!”
As night fell, the cold wind grew colder.
Di Sheng suddenly felt that this cold wind did not seem to be naturally generated, but was driven by some mysterious force. If that was the case, did it mean that the Demon Emperor had already appeared?
The Eagle King shivered and muttered to himself,""This damn weather, how could it change so suddenly? Could it be that the Great Demon King has really come?”
Tian Ruoqing said almost numbly,""Yes, she's here!"
That's right, not only did the weather change, but it also changed very quickly!
On the top of the mountain, which was less than ten acres in circumference, frost, snow, ice, and then a white ice field appeared. This series of changes actually happened in less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Not only that, even the surrounding peaks were covered in ice and snow.
In such an environment, it was easy to think of someone!
Di Sheng had indeed thought of it, but he was just about to say that the purple-clothed girl would like this place more. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, the purple-clothed girl had already flashed and landed on the edge of the mountain peak.
The girl in purple was the only one who had come, accompanied by Sui Tang and Yuan Zhongting. It was a pity that Kunwu Shenyi was unable to come and kill the enemy because of his poor health and urgent need to recuperate.
Up until now, Kunwu Shenyi had never revealed his various encounters in the illusory realm to others.
However, no one asked about this matter, or rather, there was no need to ask. This was because through the recent series of events, most people in the Sword World had already guessed most of it. These people included Di Sheng, Tian Ruoqing, and even the king of the bird clan, the Eagle King.
Seeing the two immortal sword masters come to help, Eagle King immediately went forward and asked with a smile,""I heard that the lady in purple has always liked ice and snow. I also knew that you would come. We just killed a red-eyed monster, but you didn't join us in time.”
Through the thin purple gauze, the purple-clothed girl glanced at him indifferently and said,""I came here because of the Demon Emperor, not because of the snow!”
Suddenly, the sound of wind and waves came from the distance, followed by a gust of cold wind, carrying goose-feather white snow. It was as if billions of thunderbolts had toppled the mountains and toppled the seas. The wind was like a wave, as if it was going to melt a person.
Heaven's Curse!
When they saw the challenger with their own eyes, other than Tian Ruoqing, everyone's first reaction was to almost call out these three words.
No one called out because they all knew that the woman who looked exactly like Tian Chenchen was the Nine Generation Demon Emperor who had been dormant for thousands of years and finally took the form of a borrowed body!
The only difference was that her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were shining with golden light, and there were even some blood stains at the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that she had just drunk raw blood and even eaten human flesh.
"You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Di Sheng quickly came to a conclusion when he heard the Demon Emperor's voice." If the voice was not pure, it meant that the Demon Emperor had not truly merged his body and spirit, so the chances of forcing him to separate his body and spirit greatly increased.
Eagle King, who had been unable to hold it in for a long time, shouted,"Come and fight, I'm not afraid. Come, do it, you dog!”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow shadow flew over and headed straight for Eagle King's vital point!
It turned out that he was not the only one who knew about the Eagle King's fate!
Eagle King was already drenched in cold sweat. It wasn't because of this attack that could still be blocked, but because he was worried that he would expose his weakness in front of everyone.
However, since he was a demon, he could turn invisible and change his form. Although this attack was swift and fierce, it could not hurt him at all. However, it was followed by a second wave, a third wave, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the power was getting stronger and stronger.
Immediately after, a zither note resounded through the sky and turned into a golden net of light. It grew larger and larger, covering the area where the Demon Sovereign was!
Demon Subduing Zither!
The Demon Subduing Zither, which was rarely seen in the world, was born from the Demon King. If the Demon King did not appear, this zither would not appear!
The Demon Subduing Zither Master, Yuan Zhongting, had extraordinary zither skills. In addition, the purple-robed girl and Sui Tang were transmitting their power from the east and west sides. As a result, the light net grew larger and larger, and the more it was woven, the denser it became. It seemed as if it wanted to trap everything in the world in the net.
The giant net was getting closer and closer to the top of his head, and it was getting more and more shocking and oppressive. The Demon Emperor roared and raised his hands with all his might. He raised his hands like lightning, causing a loud rumble. The thunder and lightning clashed, shaking the mountains and shaking the earth. For a moment, the giant net gradually stopped pressing down.
Yuan Zhongting and the other two continued to increase their strength. The giant net was still expanding, but it could not continue to descend. However, they could not stop or even reduce their strength, because once the zither net was broken by the Demon Emperor, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Where was Di Sheng now?
Seeing that the Demon Emperor was restrained by the Demon Subduing Zither and could not care about anything else for the time being, Di Sheng and the Eagle King certainly would not let go of this opportunity to chop a wooden stake. When they gradually approached, the Demon Emperor's body suddenly lit up. Two shadow-like people appeared to block the incoming force.
Di Sheng was not mistaken. These two figures looked exactly the same as the Demon Emperor, Tian Huanhuan. However, they were smaller and weaker.
"This dog is really powerful. Not only can it release its primordial spirit, but it can also split its primordial spirit. Who cares how much you can get? I'll kill one first!”The Eagle King fought for a while before suddenly appearing in front of Tian Ruoqing. He hurriedly said to her,""Miss Ruoqing, hurry up and attack! This was the best opportunity to eliminate the Great Demon!”
Tian Ruoqing did not reply, nor did she move. In fact, she had not moved at all from the beginning to the end. Even though there were a few times when she used her sword to gain momentum, she still stopped in the end.
She was so conflicted that she began to regret coming here.
However, the actual situation was that although the Demon Sovereign's primordial spirit could split, the energy of her true body would weaken accordingly every time it split. In this way, even if she could block the swords of Di Sheng and the others, she might not be able to resist the huge net released by the Demon Subduing Zither.
In fact, how could Tian Ruoqing not know about this? However, she still did not move and continued to look up at the sky with a complicated expression.
Di Sheng had once asked her,"Will you be conflicted because of this when you are about to meet the Demon Emperor?"”
"Probably!" she answered hesitantly. Because before that, I will definitely consider whether to continue waiting for her to arrive or to leave!”
" It's your freedom to leave or stay, of course," Di Sheng said." But the key is that you don't seem to have much courage to face everything that's about to happen!
"Courage?" Tian Ruoqing snorted indifferently and said,"" When you see your family suddenly turn into a demon who eats human flesh and drinks human blood, and they might even die under your sword, I don't think anyone will have the courage to face it calmly!”
Since Tian Ruoqing refused to help, Eagle King didn't try to persuade her, so he didn't complain.
Although he was a yao, he understood human relationships very well.
But then, he began to blame someone else in his heart.
Who was it? Of course, it was someone who would appear wherever there was wind!
As he was unable to break through after a long time, the more he fought, the more tired he became. Eagle King could not help but curse in his heart,""This damned Dugu Nan, why haven't you appeared at such a dangerous moment?”
Dugu Nan didn't appear, but the Demon Emperor had suddenly disappeared!
What was the reason? No one knew!
At least no one knew now!
Now, everyone was confused. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"If I'm not wrong, he should have left to extract Yang Essence. This means that he has consumed a lot of True Qi and urgently needs Yang Essence to replenish it!"”
Yuan Zhongting said," What Di Sheng said is very reasonable. As long as the Demon Emperor possesses a woman, there should be such a result. The problem is that the world is so big and there are so many people. How do we know where she will go and who she will find to supplement her?"”
"If there are no accidents, she should be looking for a young man called Xiao Lin!”
Tian Ruoqing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked in surprise,""Are you talking about the mortal who only knows how to forge?”
"Yes, then do you really want to know him now?"”
Tian Ruoqing nodded without saying a word.
She didn't expect that she would be so eager to meet him even though she didn't want to ask for his name twice.
Di Sheng also did not expect that the two people, who seemed to never meet again, would have a chance to meet again. Once that happened, bloody violence and even death would surely ensue.
The world was unpredictable, and no one was an exception.
