Alienated Martial Arts.

The night was dark and deep.

A cold wind howled low in the sky.

Bringing snowflakes falling in abundance.

In the forest clearing, the Mistress of Spirit Butterflies was wearing golden armor and facing off against Lingqi, who was covered in silver armor.

Time passed little by little, and neither of them took action first, but waited quietly for something.

Suddenly, a cold murderous intention sprang up out of thin air.

It turned into a bright light and shot straight into the sky.

The depressing atmosphere suddenly became even more depressing.

Even the temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Let the two spiritual butterflies feel the coldness at the same time.

Time passed little by little.

The murderous chill disappeared quietly.

At this moment, Mistress Spirit Butterfly turned her head and looked into the distance, with a faint smile on her lips.

She let out a long sigh and said, "I gathered my spiritual energy and turned it into a sharp sword full of murderous intent. He was a bit beyond my expectations. I didn't expect that a little guy from the low-level sword mantis clan could actually display such a sharp sword." means.

But that's it. With the level of strength he just showed, you invited him as your helper. It's a failure of my early training for you. "

Speaking of this, the smile on the face of the Spirit Butterfly Mistress became more intense, "My well-behaved daughter, what are you waiting for? Since you have lured me out of the city, you should directly attack and take my life." yes."

"Isn't Mother also waiting?"

"Wait for your subordinates to explore the surrounding area clearly, and then you can determine whether there are any enemies hiding beside me besides my daughter."

Lingqi took a deep breath of cold air and slowly exhaled a straight stream of white mist.

She glanced around and said, "In addition to the eight guards, your most loyal subordinates include the five killer generals, and even the two sages who guard the secret realm and practice in seclusion have been successfully recruited by you.

My mother was always cautious in her work. According to the usual practice, she should wait for them to complete their investigation, and then use thunderous force to wipe out all the enemies, leaving me no hope of coming back. "

"Oh? You know quite well."

Mistress Spirit Butterfly spoke slowly, with a thoughtful expression, "But even so, you still made such a choice, which means that in addition to the poor Dao Mantis, you have also found other helpers.

And in your eyes, these helpers are very strong and can even stop my imperial guards. "

Lingqi raised her hand to pick up a snowflake and let it melt quietly between her fingers.

She sighed, "I don't know if they are strong or not, but since they can sit in the position of High Priest of Flying Ants and Visualizer of Seven Stars, I guess they won't be mediocre people who can't stand up to the stage.

So my daughter was a little curious. If they compared with the guards and killers of their own clan, who would be stronger. "

"Not only are you disobedient, but you actually dare to collude with foreigners!?"

"Only by destroying an old world can a new world be built. Therefore, everything my daughter does is just to clear the obstacles to the end."

Lingqi lowered her eyes, with no expression on her face.

"I provoked the war between the seven tribes of Flying Ants by borrowing money to kill, and then mixed in to add fuel to the fire, making the war intensify until it reached an uncontrollable level, in order to play the prelude to breaking the old world.

Moreover, I carried out the frame-up act again later and poured all the dirty water on your head. This made the two tribes even more angry and sent experts to prepare for the surprise assassination. "

When she said this, she sighed again, "My mother thought I only found him as a helper, but she never thought that as long as I use the right means, I can drive away tigers and devour wolves with confidence.

As for Yuan Yidao Mantis, although he does not know my subsequent arrangements, he should be happy to have taught a disciple like me, so even if he encounters an unexpected event here, he should be satisfied. "

Mistress Spirit Butterfly listened silently, her eyes and expressions changing, until finally they all calmed down.

"The fact that you can think about such complex things is indeed beyond my expectations, and it also surprised me a lot."

"It is no exaggeration to say that Xiaojiu, the few words you just said have taught me a lot. I will even need to spend a lot of time to savor and ponder them later."

"However, no matter how you plan, the outcome will ultimately come down to the outcome of our fight."

"So, it's up to me, a mother, to teach you the most important lesson."

"That is, in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are of no use.

Just like this layer of snowflakes accumulated on the ground, as long as the sun rises, it will melt quickly and irresistibly. "

She said expressionlessly, slowly holding the hilt of the sword at her waist, and then pulled it out little by little.

The spiritual energy condensed rapidly.

The golden sword blade lit up brightly.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a rising sun in the forest.

"What my mother said to me is exactly what my daughter wants to say to you."

Lingqi also drew out the long sword at her waist, "You are not in the main city and have lost the secret realm bonus. In terms of pure strength, I don't know if you can be regarded as the number one master of the clan, let alone whether you can. He is my current opponent.”

boom!
Suddenly spiritual energy surged around Lingqi.

They gathered frantically towards the silver sword in her hand, shining with an increasingly bright silver light, rivaling the golden light like the sun, and even not falling behind at all.

"You have such a terrible growth."

"However, I stood out from the many sisters of the previous generation and became the current matron of the Spirit Butterfly clan. I already have talents beyond ordinary!"

boom!
The two figures disappeared at the same time.

They collided suddenly in the center of the forest glade.

Each of them is wrapped in majestic spiritual energy, turned into a golden and silver glow, and releases their own power wantonly under the night.

In an instant, the large snowflakes melted directly.

Even the darkness covering the world seemed to be torn open with a huge wound at this time.

Then the trees fell and the ground cracked.

There are also increasingly stronger shock waves, centered on the two people and spreading in all directions.

At the moment when the two sides started a violent collision, a powerful spiritual energy also erupted from the jungle in the distance.

Psylocke, Seven Stars, Flying Ants.

Three races and dozens of auras were intertwined and mixed together, almost indistinguishable from each other.

It was mixed with extremely cold murderous intent, and various spiritual intentions appeared at the same time.

boom!
Mistress Lingdie and Lingqi separated from each other.

Then they charged forward with even faster speed and more violent force, and collided head-on again in a messy forest clearing.

But the jungle in the distance fell silent.

It was as if after a head-on confrontation between the elites of each race, both sides chose to call it quits at the same time, with no intention of continuing to fight to the death.

At this moment, doubts arose in the hearts of both Lingqi and Mistress Lingdie.

I don’t know why the battle in another place shut down as soon as it started.

But in this life-and-death battle, they have no time to care about such trivial matters.

Both parties have already eliminated all distracting thoughts, and only have the purest thoughts.

There is no self, no enemy, not even victory or defeat in the eyes, only the full force of the spirit to burst out all its power.

In an instant, the two collided more than a hundred times.

There was no dodge every time, a complete head-on confrontation.

Just like a battle of ideas, no one will retreat or give in in any sense.

In this situation, whether it is Lingqi or Mistress Lingdie, as long as they dare to take a step back, or even have the slightest thought of retreating in their hearts, they may be defeated and it will be difficult to make a comeback.

In particular, Mistress Lingdie, whose talent and strength she has always been proud of, was turned against her daughter who had rebelled and violated clan rules. This was something she could not accept at all.

So she can't even retreat.

As long as you retreat, you will definitely plummet. If you plunge thousands of miles, a gap will be opened in your soul, and you will even be forced to cut off the connection with the secret realm, and you will suffer terrible backlash from your spirit to your body.

The two swords clashed again.

The two figures staggered back at the same time.

One rolled and fell into a deep pit.

The other smashed through the crown of a fallen tree, leaving a trail of blood along the way, and disappeared directly into the dark snowy night.

Time passed little by little.

There was chaos and silence in the forest.

Not long after.

Mistress Spirit Butterfly leaned her sword on the ground and crawled out of the pit step by step.

Not far ahead, Lingqi swung her sword to cut off the branches in front of her and returned to the place where she started.

"I thought that after this period of crazy killing and accumulation, my strength would have surpassed that of my mother without the blessing of the secret realm."

Lingqi looked down at the damaged silver armor on her body, and raised her hand to wipe away a trace of blood that spilled from her lips.

She sighed softly, "Now it seems that I still overestimated myself and underestimated my mother's true heritage."

"You are the one who surprised me the most, Xiaojiu, by forcing me into such a situation without entering the secret realm to practice."

Mistress Spirit Butterfly tried her best to calm her breathing, but an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness flashed through her heart.

He has even started to think about quitting.

If she continued to fight like this, she could capture her rebellious daughter, but she would inevitably suffer serious injuries.

If coupled with the impact on the body after previous childbirth, even a victory will leave serious sequelae.

What's more important is that a short period of time has passed from the time they met to the present, from the initial communication to the subsequent confrontation, but the result is that they have not yet waited for the arrival of those subordinates.

Could it be that they were really stopped by the Flying Ant High Priest and the Seven-Star Visualizer, and unfortunately lost in the confrontation, so they couldn't come in the first place?

If this was really the case, then what she had to consider was not whether it was worth paying the price to capture Xiao Jiu, but how to escape.

However, the dead silence in the forest made her hesitate.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out why the two sides were so quiet if they had really met. It seemed like there was no fight at all.

Not far away from the opposite side, Lingqi was smiling on the surface, but deep down in her heart, there was also a large amount of gloom.

Compared with the loyalty of Mistress Psylocke's subordinates, she knew that the Flying Ant High Priest, the Seven Star Visualizer and herself were by no means true allies of the same mind, and she must always be on guard against their backstabbing, and therefore formulated more than one action plan. .

However, the current situation is too strange, but it is far from the development she thought.

The most critical problem is that the surroundings are too quiet.

Just after the spiritual manifestation just now, there was no sound of any battle at all.

This strange situation made the two people who had just experienced a fierce confrontation feel surprised and surprised, and they were eager to find out what happened.

Somewhere farther away.

In the center of another forest glade.

Wei Tao stretched his body, which was getting stronger and more ferocious, and looked down at the few insects sitting motionless on the ground.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

The blood slid down the two death scythes along the blades, and dripped to the ground. It mixed with the dark red color in the surrounding area, making it look like a bloody and tragic abyss purgatory.

"I don't know if I underestimated myself or overestimated your strength, which caused me to retreat into the room and survive until now, before I dare to come out and truly face reality."

He was silent for a moment and sighed slowly.

"Then what, is this the reality?"

"The so-called Spirit Butterfly Guards, Flying Ant Sacrifice, and Seven-Star Visualizer, their names sound resounding, but the results left me quite speechless and disappointed.

I thought you would be so powerful by gathering your spiritual energy, flying into the sky, and escaping from the earth. If you really fight, you can't even stop me with a sickle. "

"I'm really disappointed. You guys let me down so much."

Click!

As he spoke, the sickle gently reached down and pierced the chest of a corpse.

Then he easily picked it up, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

A series of crunching sounds were heard.

Accompanied by the sound of spitting out.

After a while, the low voice slowly sounded again, with a little sigh.

“I have to say that the Seven Star Clan tastes good and has a special sweet taste when chewed.

The only flaw is the carapace growing on the chest and back, which is as troublesome as eating melon seeds without having to bite the skin. "

Click!

The sharp sickle fell again.

Provoke a flying ant clan priest who is missing an arm.

Then there was another burst of chewing sounds, breaking the newly silent night again.

"Well, this Ant Power God is better."

"Although the taste is a bit bitter, fortunately it is more nutritious. It is simply a highly concentrated Bai Ling fruit."

Among the corpses with broken limbs and broken arms on the ground, the remaining Spirit Butterfly Guards and Flying Ant Sacrificial Priests started to move, as if they were facing a ferocious and terrifying demon. They had been completely frightened and frightened out of their courage. "Chihou, Chihou, you are Chihou!"

The flying ant priest was lost and muttered to himself.

Over and over again, only the word Chihou came out.

"Chihou?"

"What is Chihou?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

"I remembered that when I was at the Divination Academy, I accidentally flipped through a shabby ancient book, and Chihou's name seemed to be mentioned in it."

"But, is there something wrong with your eyes? Chihou is obviously the name of an ancient demon, and it has nothing to do with me, a mantis with upright and red roots."

Wei Tao said casually while chewing and swallowing.

The relatively complete body was quickly put into the stomach.

"Chihou, Chihou..."

The Flying Ant Priest's eyes were dull, as if he didn't hear what he was saying, and kept repeating two words.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his expression quite speechless, "Could this priest of the Flying Ant Tribe be a fool?"

"Originally I wanted to ask you some questions, but now it seems there is no need for that at all."

Click!

Another cold light flashed.

The flying ant priest subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the sharp limbs that pierced him, as if he suddenly regained his clarity at this moment.

His lips kept moving, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was blocked by the large gush of blood, and he couldn't even spit out a word.

crunch.

crunch.

The teeth-searing sound of chewing sounded again.

After a while, Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath and turned his head to look into the distance where the golden light and silver light began to shine again.

"It seems that the battle between mother and daughter will continue for some time."

He withdrew his gaze and his eyes fell on the limp and motionless old man Spirit Butterfly.

"Since Lingqi asked me to delay it as much as possible, we will have plenty of time to chat."

After a pause, he organized his words again, "As the guard of the Spiritual Butterfly Mother, you should know a lot about the secret realm. You just take this opportunity to tell me everything in it in detail."

Chi!
Blood suddenly splashed.

A big hole opened in the old man's chest, and the inside was bloody and messy.

"Even if I die, I will never betray my mistress..."

He smiled sadly, "What's more, you, a Dao Mantis with a low bloodline, still want me to betray the clan. You are simply wishful thinking!"

"You are so stubborn and don't even fear life and death. Sometimes it's very frustrating when dealing with people."

Wei Tao was silent for a moment and slowly raised his bloody front paw, "To show my respect, I decided to chew twice more when eating you so that you can digest it better in my belly."

Click!

When the words fell, he bit them in one bite.

At the same time, a loud roar suddenly erupted from a distance.

The gold and silver rays of light intertwined and entangled, forming a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

A huge shock wave came immediately, uprooting large trees in an instant.

Even a layer of the ground was scraped away, revealing the soil below that had not yet completely frozen.

Don't know how long it took.

Maybe just for a moment.

Suddenly all the light disappeared.

All sounds disappeared.

The entire jungle was deathly silent.

Mistress Psylocke looked pale, coughing out large mouthfuls of blood from time to time, and staggered forward on the ground full of ravines.

She was seriously injured, and she could only barely support her body with all her strength, and staggered forward slowly.

It was not a long journey, but it took her a long time to complete it, and finally she stopped in front of a small slope made of broken stones and trees.

Mistress Spirit Butterfly took a deep breath and smelled the tangy smell of blood, which brought an inexplicable sweet smell.

A slender figure sat there quietly, leaning against a crooked and broken tree trunk.

She raised her head with some difficulty, looked at the direction where the footsteps stopped, and sighed quietly.

"I thought that after my crazy improvement, I could confront my mother head-on, but I didn't expect that I would still be defeated by you."

"You are very good, even more talented than me."

Madam Spirit Butterfly’s voice was hoarse and no longer as gentle and soft as before, “If you can also accept the power inheritance of the secret realm, I will definitely not be your opponent.

But it is a pity that your strength, which has been accumulated with a large amount of resources, cannot compete with the power of the inheritance of the secret realm. "

"He told me a long time ago that victory is victory and defeat is defeat. There are no ifs in this world."

Lingqi gasped for breath, blood gurgling out of her seven orifices, "I was ultimately defeated at your hands. This is the reality I have to face."

"Who is he, that unique Dao Mantis?"

Mistress Spirit Butterfly lowered her head and looked down, with a smile on her face, "He should be gone too."

Lingqi nodded, "Yes, he is no longer here. Facing so many powerful enemies, he will naturally die."

"Actually, I'm a little curious."

Mistress Spirit Butterfly frowned slightly, "Why are you like this? Is it because of that mantis?"

Before Lingqi could respond, she sighed quietly, "But it doesn't matter. You will all die tonight anyway, and everything after that will be dust to dust, dust to dust, and it will have nothing to do with you anymore."

Having said this, Mistress Lingdie slowly raised her golden sword and aimed it at Lingqi's unprotected vitals.

She took a deep breath and thrust out the sword in her hand without hesitation.

Swish!
The golden light lit up, but then converged directly into the invisible.

She was startled, and subconsciously turned around to look, only to see a pair of eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

Together with the huge scythe that was already close to him, they both shone with an extremely cold light.

"you……"

Mistress Spirit Butterfly opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but her mind went blank due to great fear, and she couldn't even utter a single word.

Beside the mound, Lingqi closed her eyes. Even though she felt strongly unwilling to do so, she could only passively welcome the arrival of death.

Chi!
She heard the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh.

Warm blood also splashed out at this moment.

"Is this what death feels like?"

"There didn't seem to be any special feelings. Even when the sword penetrated the body, there was no pain."

Lingqi closed her eyes tightly, waiting for her consciousness to fall into darkness.

Time passed little by little.

But she has always maintained her ability to think.

He even heard the sound of chewing and swallowing, which kept ringing in front of him.

Lingqi was confused and subconsciously opened her eyes to take a look.

Wherever he looked, he saw an extremely familiar figure swallowing the last bit of blood in his mouth.

"You, you, you are still alive."

She was incoherent and her mind was almost blank, "Or am I actually dead and this is the world after death?"

Wei Tao sighed, "I'm still alive, and you are naturally alive too. The world after death is empty and void. How can we have such rich perceptions now?"

Lingqi asked subconsciously, "Where is the mistress? She was here just now and was preparing to take my life."

"Your Majesty is here now, and the distance will never exceed two feet."

Wei Tao wiped away the remaining blood on his lips, "She was not very lucky. She was so seriously injured that she still dared to stay here, so it was only natural that I would pick her up and kill her."

Having said this, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Your Majesty Lingqi, since all plans have been successfully completed, I hope you will not forget what you promised me."

………………

........................

The cold wind howled and the snow fell.

The whole sky and earth are completely white.

Inside the main city, it was as warm as spring, with not a single snowflake falling.

For Lingdie who is naturally afraid of the cold, he spends as much thought on heating as on all military and national affairs.

Led by the two spirit butterfly attendants, Wei Tao came to the spire hall located in the center of the city for the first time.

The attendant stopped in front of the palace.

Wei Tao pushed open the door alone and entered the dark and gloomy hall.

"Yuan Yi has met His Majesty Lingqi."

Still some distance away, he bowed slightly and saluted.

"Yuan Yi."

A faint sigh came from behind the curtain.

There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, "You are now the chief fortune teller, so you don't need to salute like this even when you see me."

"The proper etiquette should not be neglected. After all, I am no longer facing the Ninth Prince, but the Mistress of the entire Spirit Butterfly clan."

Wei Tao straightened up, his eyes penetrated the translucent curtain and landed on the slender figure, "Your Majesty called me here this time. Are you going to take me to the secret place to have a look?"

"Secret Realm, now is not the time to take you in, because I have not truly inherited the power inheritance of the Secret Realm. If I take you there at this time, there will be a high possibility of causing an attack from the Secret Realm."

"In addition, I promised Mr. Yuan Yi that the highest secret method of my clan needs to be fully inherited before I can describe it to you in detail."

"That's why I specially asked Mr. Yuan Yi to come over. Actually, I just haven't seen you for a while and I just want to chat with you."

Lingqi said as she slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

She was only wearing an almost transparent gauze skirt, and her slim figure was looming, attracting attention.

"What does Your Majesty want to talk about?"

Wei Tao only glanced at it and then looked away, tracing the path of the spiritual spirit he sensed, and finally looked beyond her body to the darker depths of the hall.

Vaguely, he heard the low beast roar again.

It seemed to be coming from the depths of darkness.

Lingqi was silent for a moment and sighed again, "Although we have known each other for a long time, in my eyes, Mr. Yuan Yi has always been so mysterious, as if he was shrouded in fog. No matter how he looked at it, he was always so mysterious. It is difficult to see the true face hidden inside.

Therefore, I have always been curious and want to know the ultimate goal of Mr. Yuan Yi’s actions, and what is the ideal you most want to achieve? "

Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he keenly captured a fleeting murderous intention.

Do you feel that he knows too many secrets and has become a potential threat, so do you want to take action?

But this is normal, after all, no matter how strict the mouth is, it can't compare to the dead person's inability to speak.

And she hid her emotions well.

If he had not practiced the Three Talents Killing Sword and was extremely sensitive to the hidden murderous intent, it might have been difficult for him to truly discover the problem when the spiritual thoughts gathered in the palace.

Lingqi, she is really a good student.

Both his execution and comprehension abilities have exceeded his original expectations.

Wei Tao was lost in thought, but his mood was peaceful.

"What is the ideal I want to achieve most?"

He gently exhaled a breath, closed his eyes and sighed, "What I want to do most is to return to my true hometown and find my long-lost relatives and friends."

“But it is not easy to do this, it can even be said to be very difficult.

Because before returning to my hometown, I have to solve a huge problem first, so as not to bring too much danger to the people living there.

In this case, relying only on my own strength, I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate enough resources to raise the level of strength to a level that can crush and eliminate dangers to complete this most important dream for me. "

"Is your ideal just to return to your hometown..."

Lingqi fell silent, and the murderous intention that was originally hidden was quietly restrained at this moment.

I don’t know if it really disappeared or if it was hidden deeper by her.
