Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

"In September of the seventh year of Zhenguan, I killed Chi You's evil spirit in the Yin Mountains and received a reward - three drops of [Great Witch Essence Blood]!"

"Great Witch Essence and Blood: The natal essence and blood of Chi You, the leader of the Wu Clan, contains a large amount of the magical power of the Witch Clan and the laws of the Great Dao, but it is also full of demonic energy and is incompatible with other bloodlines. Even a true immortal will explode and die if he is forcibly absorbed! "

Li Daoxuan's attention was not on the great witch essence and blood, but on the word 'evil spirit'.

Chi You...an evil spirit?
Could it be that what he killed was an evil spirit that had taken over Chi You's body?

"You did kill me, a part of me to be exact."

Chi You's deep eyes seemed to see through Li Daoxuan's inner thoughts, and he calmly told the secret of his resurrection.

"During thousands of years of imprisonment in the dark, I felt the blood of the Wu clan gradually dissipating. I kept hearing the roars of my former comrades in arms and the desperate prayers of the Wu people, but I could do nothing but listen. Their voices are getting quieter..."

Chi You subconsciously clenched his fists, and the surging demonic energy shot straight into the sky. His beating heart exploded like thunder, and blood splashed out due to the wounds left by the Xuanyuan Sword.

He didn't care.

This scene made everyone's hearts skip a beat and their scalps tingled.

"In order to resolve this pain, I had to separate a part of my soul to bear the despair and anger for me, while my own soul often fell into deep sleep."

"If you hadn't used the Xuanyuan Sword to wake me up, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before I woke up."

Li Daoxuan suddenly understood. No wonder Chi You's pupils were blood red when he first woke up. He only knew about killing and could not communicate at all.

Moreover, apart from the physical body, he has almost no other magical powers when fighting.

He was still a little surprised at the time. Even those weak evil gods could remain sane. How come Chi You, the majestic military leader, was reduced to a killing machine with only fighting instincts?
However, although the doubts were solved, Li Daoxuan felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart.

Chi You was so difficult to deal with without his sanity. Now that he has complete memory and has recovered all his magical powers and combat experience, how powerful must Chi You be?

Even if I have Xuanyuan Sword to help me, can I really defeat him?
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and felt the mana gradually recovering in his body. He held the Xuanyuan Sword and his eyes once again glowed with dazzling golden light.

"The Witch Clan is gone. Now the world is dominated by the human race. Do you still want to destroy the world now?"

Although he was still a little staggered while holding the sword, his voice was extremely firm, his long hair was fluttering, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was breathing the sacred and awe-inspiring golden sword energy.

"If you still want to destroy the world, then fight again!"

What followed his voice was the neighing of countless war horses, the sound of tens of thousands of Xuanjia soldiers drawing their swords together, and the sound of the Tang army flags fluttering in the night wind.

Erlang of the Tang Dynasty, who has experienced hundreds of battles, has eyes as firm as iron and sharp as a sword. He holds the reins in his hand and looks at the figure in the distance dressed in green with a sword.

The spirit of fighting and fighting is like the calm before the storm.

They will follow the national master and fight until the last moment. This is the pride of the Tang people!

A man of the Tang Dynasty would never succumb to a foreign race, even if the other party was the military leader Chi You.

Chi You's eyes showed a trace of emotion and nostalgia.

Once upon a time, in this vast land, there was such a majestic military power. It was the army of his witch clan. The troops were everywhere, and even the gods in the sky were afraid of them.

But it is a pity that he seems to be the only witch left in this world.

After being silent for a long time, Chi You sighed softly. He looked at the mountains and the south, and suddenly asked Li Daoxuan a question.

"This land of mountains and rivers is still so magnificent, but it's just that many places have changed due to the changes in the sea. Li Daoxuan, can you take me around this world again?"

Li Daoxuan, who was originally prepared to fight to the death, was stunned when he heard this.

……

Henan Road, next to Shangyang City, Lingbao County.

There is a large peach grove here. It is said that many years ago, the peach grove here stretched for thousands of miles and remained undefeated all year round, but now only less than a hundred miles remains.

The peach trees bloomed in March and bore fruit in June. Now it is September, and the flowers have already faded and the fruits are withered.

In the moonlit night, the mountain wind blows, and there is a faint sound of sobbing, which makes this peach forest have many magical legends.

Some people say that the yin energy here is too strong and ghosts always live here, while others say that a big shot is buried here.

At night, the withered peach forest suddenly burst into life. The dry branches and leaves sprouted new buds and produced gorgeous peach blossoms at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Recipe, Shining.

The peach forest swayed in the wind, as if welcoming something.

It's a pity that this magical and magnificent scene is destined to be seen by few people.

Two figures appeared in the peach forest, one with the head of an ox and the body of a man, with only one arm left, but it looked so upright and majestic, like a sacred mountain that has experienced vicissitudes of time but is still majestic and majestic.

The other figure looked very elegant, with long hair disheveled, and a golden holy sword on his back. Although there were still blood stains on the green robe, it was hard to resist the elegance and grace of the morning star.

Li Daoxuan still feels a little dreamy.

I thought that the world would be filled with blood tonight, but unexpectedly, Chi You didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, and just offered to accompany him to see the world today.

Chi You didn't say where he was going. It seemed that everything was based on his feelings. He stopped talking to Li Daoxuan and just looked at the mountains and rivers of the world and the fertile plains.

He didn't stop until he reached this peach forest, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.

"Kuafu chased the sun and died of thirst by the roadside. He abandoned his staff and transformed into a forest thousands of miles away." Li Daoxuan had an idea in his heart and said: "May I ask the soldier, is this the place where Kuafu fell?"

Chi You was silent for a moment, stroking the peach blossoms, and finally spoke again.

"Do you know why Kuafu chases the sun?"

"I don't know, so I'd like to ask the commander of the army to give me some advice."

"For revenge."

There was a hint of ripples in Chi You's calm voice, and his deep eyes seemed to see through the dust of the years, and once again saw the heroic giant who could shake the sky and the earth.

"Kuafu was originally the leader of the Giant Tribe of our Witch Tribe. The Giant Tribe was once the most powerful tribe of our Witch Tribe. They were born giants and physically powerful. Every adult tribe member is capable of fighting gods and demons."

"But giants have a fatal flaw, that is, lack of endurance. If they don't get a rest for a long time, their physical bodies will be overwhelmed."

After a pause, Chi You's voice continued.

"More and more giants finally attracted the fear of the gods. The Golden Crow, which was supposed to rise above the Fusang and fall into the East China Sea, fell into the Giant's tribe and burned all the young giants to death, destroying the wealth they relied on. A home to survive!”

"The giants who came back from hunting went completely crazy. They chased the golden crow, trying to tear its wings to pieces and break its neck!"

Chi You's voice gradually turned cold.

"The Golden Crow has the fastest speed in the world, but it just keeps running with them hanging, baking the earth with the true fire of the sun. Gradually, one by one, the giants died of hunger and thirst and fell down. In the end, only Kuafu was left."

"Kuafu traveled across half of the wilderness and chased him here. His hatred made him forget everything. He drank two rivers in one breath, but in the end he was unable to do what he wanted and fell to the ground unwilling to die."

"Since then, the Giant tribe has completely disappeared."

The night wind blew through the peach forest, and the sound of sobbing sounded again, like a cry of complaint, just like the unwilling and angry cry of the ancient giant before he fell.

Li Daoxuan looked at the peach forest again. The flowers were so beautiful and bright, but he didn't expect such a tragic past behind them.

Those giants who chased the sun, the leader named Kuafu, full of grief, anger and hatred, fell one by one on the road of revenge for the tribe, but none of them flinched.

Kuafu was ridiculed by later generations as a fool who overestimated his abilities, but Li Daoxuan felt an epic tragedy and a courage full of masculine power in this peach forest.

"The great witch Hou Yi was so angry that he mobilized his tribe and used various secret techniques of the witch tribe to make arrows and kill nine golden crows. But unfortunately, Hou Yi was surrounded and killed by many demons and gods, and the tribe was eventually destroyed."

"However, his arrow sounded the clarion call of the Witch Clan to defeat the gods!"

"It was also from that time that the Wu Clan and the gods completely broke apart. The scattered Wu Clan began to learn to unite, and I was elected as the leader of the Wu Clan to lead them to fight against the gods."

"Unfortunately, I let them down."

At this point, Chi You suddenly fell silent and stopped saying a word, just quietly staring at the gorgeous peach blossoms in front of him.

After a long time, he picked a peach blossom, carefully placed it in his arms, and then walked towards the distance.

Li Daoxuan hurriedly followed. He looked back and found that the gorgeous peach forest withered and withered quickly after Chi You left.

The branches and leaves are rotten in the cold, and the autumn wind is bleak.

It seems to be saying goodbye to an old friend, and it also seems to be telling a past event that has been submerged in time.

……

One day later, Datang Xinzhou, Zhuolu County.

It is daytime now, the streets are flowing continuously, and the people are stable and prosperous. They are much better than they were in the early years of Zhenguan.

"Tanghulu~ Candied haws on ice!"

"Freshly baked biscuits only cost a penny!"

"Sir, the shop has a new batch of rouge. Would you like to come in and take a look?"

……

Chi You and Li Daoxuan arrived at Shangyang City. They seemed to be walking in another time and space. All the pedestrians on the street turned a blind eye to the two.

"The gods are very cunning. They didn't want to fight the Witch Clan head-on, so they supported the weak human race at the time and confronted our Witch Clan head-on."

Chi You spoke again. Walking on this ancient battlefield that had long since changed, he seemed like an old man recalling the past.

"The human race has great potential, but it is still too weak. In the battle of Zhuolu, I defeated Xuanyuan 72 times in a row. The place was so devastated that the whole place was devastated. The blood of so many human heroes dyed my Tiger Soul Sword red."

"In order to help the human race win, the gods surrounded and killed my Wu clan's sacred beast Kui Niu, and used its skin to make a war drum. The sound resonated thousands of miles away, like thunder, and helped the human race boost their morale."

Having said this, Chi You's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm.

"But I, the warrior of the Wu clan, will only feel even more angry. In that battle, many gods came down to earth to participate in the battle, but all of them lost their divine blood."

"That was the most satisfying battle in my life. After killing sixteen gods in a row, I finally chopped off Di Jun's head."

"Heaven, destroyed."
