In the Blade

The evil spirit spread all over the sky like smoke.

The giant who had never had a name from beginning to end chose to annihilate himself after all. With that tyrannical strength and majestic evil aura... Du Chengfeng, who was deceived by words and lost his attention, finally missed it. That last chance to kill.

There are some words that Du Chengfeng did not say, that is, the evil spirit is not that important to him now. The power he controls now is a completely different thing. It does not matter to him whether he uses the evil spirit or not.

He just wanted to let this giant die quickly. After all, killing himself through self-annihilation was still a bit too cruel.

In fact, this giant could have been immortal. Although both of them did try their best during the battle, unlike the giant who was unable to get off the stage because of the evil spirit all over his body, what drove Du Chengfeng to fight was only the Emperor's Sword. That's it - Du Chengfeng could still restrain the desire to kill with just a sword, and after he put away the sword, it was even less likely that the phantom sword would affect him.

But there is no point in holding back on his side.

Even though he consciously released the water during the fight, the huge giant still died. I don't know if it was the guidance of the evil spirit and resentment, or the giant had the will to die. Anyway, humans want to die, and that is indeed the case. No one can stop him, especially someone with such tyrannical strength and outstanding mobility.

Yes, being able to use your own strength to decide how you want to live is undoubtedly something that only humans can do.

Even though the huge giant never regarded him as a human being, at least in Du Chengfeng's eyes, the other person was indeed a human being, no matter from his words or actions.

It’s just that this person is a bit too big, so he has to hold his head up when talking.

Of course, in the future, there is no need to go to such trouble. After all, the giant is still dead. Perhaps this is the result that the giant wants most, to return the majestic evil spirit that has been fighting in this world to this world. Heaven and earth itself completely wash away the resentment and hatred entangled in the body.

But this is obviously a problem. After all, the giant's consciousness itself is a collection of these twisted evil spirits. When these evil spirits dissipate, the giant himself will undoubtedly die.

Perhaps this was also the reason why the giant was unwilling to let his side complete the kill until the end.

Although that majestic evil spirit is indeed powerful, it is also the most vicious curse. How can such a thing be obtained?

Correspondingly, the giant also left him, in the giant's opinion, the best gift.

That is freedom without being contaminated by any evil spirits.

"Isn't that just nothing?"

Du Chengfeng's face was stiff.

"At least leave me something else...forget it."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

It's really not appropriate. If the huge giant has to be like Yang Sanlang, turning himself into a soldier and leaving the guy as his memory, I'm afraid he will still be a little unaccustomed to it - on the contrary, he is the one now. The result may indeed be the most suitable for that giant.

The giant who has been pushed by fate all his life can finally ride on the wind and go wherever he wants, relaxed, happy and carefree.

Just like those evil spirits floating in the night sky.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng discovered that the evil spirit actually had a form and color. Perhaps because it was too strong, the light gray evil spirit actually floated in the wind like smoke, even in the moonlight. Be hazy together.

"Gone! Everyone is gone!"

Du Chengfeng waved his hands to drive away the evil spirits floating in front of him.

Since the giant didn't intend to give him these evil spirits, there was no need for him to accept them. Anyway, for him now, evil spirit is no longer the only source of power. After all, after experiencing that inexplicable endless massacre and getting out of that strange leather holster, the power he currently has has already begun to develop. Another path.

Another path that even he himself didn't know how to describe.

According to his understanding all along, there is a mechanism of evil spirits in this world. The more people you kill, the more evil spirits there will be, and the more evil spirits, the stronger they will be - of course, if we really talk about the strong, it will still be There are people like Old Man Ruan Shantao who don't kill people and rely purely on personal will to become stronger. However, it is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way to accumulate weapons and weapons by constantly killing people.

Of course, such a convenient power cannot come without any price. After all, evil spirits are not a stable force. This thing may backfire at any time, either turning into a madman or a monster. Even if you have withstood the training of those evil spirits, you will be strong. To the point where he is like that huge giant, he will eventually die step by step under the subtle influence of evil energy.

Du Chengfeng himself has also experienced this kind of experience of unknowingly causing trouble and even actively seeking death.

But now, the power he controls is completely different from those evil spirits.

Compared with the evil spirit, that power is more condensed and more stable. If the evil energy before was just wrapped around the weapon, floating around the body and drilling into the body, then now this power is hidden in the body. Within, it sinks into the limbs and bones, and is faintly released outwards.

Du Chengfeng didn't know whether this thing was evil spirit or not. After all, the evil resentment that had entangled him had been killed again and again in the endless killing. Although this new power now also carried killing intent, the method of using it was quite different from the evil spirit he had used before.

Evil spirit was an external force, which he needed to integrate and then drive with his will, while this new power was an internal force, which he only needed to release.

This was a bit like the magical internal force that he had wanted so much.

This thing was indeed omnipotent. It could not only throw out powerful force, but also make the weapon more convenient to swing, and make the weapon more fierce. It could even quickly heal injuries on the body. Although Du Chengfeng also suspected that the reason why the broken hand and arm bones healed quickly when he was fighting was because his physical fitness had been optimized, he did feel the warmth and nourishment brought by the power flowing into his fist.

If there is a problem, it is that this thing does not seem to support him to make any spirit bombs, nor can it launch any turtle wave skills.

If you want to fully exert the power of this force, it is better to use a weapon.

As for why this is the case...

Du Chengfeng does not know.

Or rather, he has no chance to know. He has gone too far in the path of evil spirit. Even those Chu people who have the most profound understanding of evil spirit that he has seen in his memory of sharpening knives have never reached his level and never touched his path.

After all, no matter how difficult and hard the Chu people are, they are only facing the fight in the mortal world.

But what Du Chengfeng faces is the Chu people themselves who pursue crazy power in order to win the fight, and finally almost comparable to immortals.

The former Chu people, relying on their powerful strength, beat the Yu people who were good at manipulating people's hearts. After the Yu people showed the limit of Chu people's strength, Chu people simply chose not to be human - and now, after experiencing the pressure brought by the Chu people who were not human, what has Du Chengfeng himself come to?

No one can tell him, after all, no one has experienced such a crazy thing.

"If there is any matching magical internal skills..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, just like what is written in those martial arts novels, a set of skills has so many levels, you just need to practice them layer by layer, that saves a lot of brains - if it doesn't work, it's the same for cultivating immortals or fantasy, practicing Qi, building foundation, forming Dan, Yuanying, or black iron, bronze, silver, gold, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, the levels are clear, he just needs to climb up one by one.

However, he didn't encounter such a convenient thing.

The experience summarized by the predecessors can't be applied to him. He has learned everything he can learn. No one can teach him the next road, he can only rely on himself.

"The question is, where to go?"

Du Chengfeng was a little confused for a moment.

At this moment, he inexplicably thought of the huge giant and the towering tree without roots that he felt during the battle.

Without the restraint of the roots, the tree did gain freedom and strength, but where should the tree man who had stood up go?

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but reach out to the floating evil spirits in front of him.

If the huge giant was still there, they might be able to exchange their understanding of this aspect, and he could also learn from the predecessors - although the giant himself didn't seem to be living a good life, maybe he could give him some inspiration in thinking, and by the way, eliminate a wrong answer for him?

But now, there is nothing.

The huge giant has disappeared, and the evil spirits in front of him that have drifted back to the world are impossible to condense into shape again...

"...Hmm?"

Du Chengfeng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Just because, in front of him, the evil spirits that have not yet completely dissipated are actually gathering and condensing.

Those wandering evil spirits gathered together, like misty smoke merging into a thick column of smoke, and in this column of smoke, the branches of a big tree were faintly outlined.

"...Ah?"

Looking at the column of smoke and then at himself, Du Chengfeng was confused for a moment.

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense. Although he knows that this new power is as useful as the magical inner force he wants so much, it can't be to the extent that he can make his wish come true, right?

Moreover, he didn't mean to force the giant to stay. Since the other party thinks that death is the real relief, it would be a bit rude for him to force him to stay - not to mention that even if he wants to stay, he can't use evil spirit to stay. After all, the giant himself chose to annihilate himself in order to get rid of the influence of evil spirit. If he must use evil spirit to stay, it's really a bit...

"Wait a minute?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It was indeed wrong, just because there were too many leaves on the branches of the big tree outlined by the evil spirit.

The densely packed appearance was more like... than leaves.

"Feathers?"

Du Chengfeng's expression changed instantly, and he immediately picked up his sword and chopped it.

But the blazing fire blade just missed.

Although the newly born evil phoenix was small, it was so flexible that it just flapped its wings and bypassed the slash of the blazing fire blade. Of course, this reaction alone was not enough to make Du Chengfeng's slash miss. After all, he had practiced it and had practiced it in countless fights.

But when the blazing fire blade touched the evil phoenix, it did not feel like a slash.

Instead, it went straight through.

"Yes, that's it! That's what I want!"

The gray-black phoenix hovered in the air, laughing wildly.

"Thoughts can't be killed!"

"Dog..."

Du Chengfeng's face darkened.

He originally thought that the one who condensed into a figure would be the nameless giant.

But who would have thought that after the giant dispersed his evil spirit, the gray-black phoenix condensed on the remaining evil spirit would be the gray-black phoenix.

It turned out to be the remnant of the Chu people!

"Come, come, keep chopping, don't stop."

Facing Du Chengfeng's furious slashing, the gray-black phoenix bird was too lazy to dodge this time.

The blazing blade pierced through the phoenix bird's body again and again, but it couldn't leave any trace on the phoenix bird.

It was as if the other party was just a phantom that did not exist in this world.

"I have said it before, thoughts cannot be killed."

The gray-black phoenix bird sneered.

"That traitor actually wanted to take me to death... stupid."

The gray-black phoenix bird spread its wings.

Of course, this was just talk. In fact, the immortal body even succeeded at one point. When it fell into madness and was controlled by the evil spirit, the immortal body that had been almost torn apart did condense consciousness again, suppress it, and even almost took it and the evil spirit to annihilate together and dissipate between heaven and earth.

However, this also allowed it to learn some techniques that did not belong to humans.

For example, how to piece together the scattered consciousness and turn it back into its own body.

"Perhaps I should thank that traitor. After all, without him, I would not have been able to do this."

"This is the real rebirth from the ashes."

The gray-black phoenix bird shadow lowered its head and looked at Du Chengfeng on the ground.

It has always been trying its best to avoid its own death. Even if it abandons its physical body, it is an adventure that it takes after calculating the possibility of success. But this time is different. This time, the consciousness condensed by the immortal body allows it to truly face death itself.

There is great terror between life and death.

But after transcending this terror, you can see the endless light hidden behind the terror.

"So, you have always been here like this..."

Recalling the unspeakable experience, the gray-black phoenix bird sighed.

After experiencing life and death, it finally realized the real power.

It does not rely on any external force, nor does it need any strong body, but all power comes from itself, it is the power itself.

Only such power is truly its own.

No one has ever done this, not even the former Great Chu could do it—no, the former Great Chu could not even complete the transfer of consciousness. Now, it has not only completed the transfer of consciousness, but also achieved an unprecedented feat.

Only it has truly shed its body and become a fairy.

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

It has reached the true ultimate.

There is nothing in this world that can kill it anymore...

"Shhhh"

A few tail feathers fell down, along with half of the illusory bird claws.

"...Hey?"

The panicked gray-black phoenix bird quickly flew into the air, not knowing what was hurting it.

It had clearly completely become a fairy, with only a consciousness left, and no mundane thing could hurt it at all. Thoughts cannot be killed.

But why, why did it just...

"...Hey?"

After a successful attack, Du Chengfeng was also stunned.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at his right hand.

In his right hand, only a faint shadow of the long sword was lying there, as if urging him to avenge it.

And the object of this revenge was...

"What did you say just now, what is unkillable?"

Du Chengfeng raised his head and looked at the gray-black phoenix in the air.

"I didn't hear it clearly, come here, speak louder."

"Ahhhhhhh——"

The gray-black phoenix immediately turned its head and fled, but the flying shadow sword still cut off its tail feathers-and after losing its long tail feathers, this originally small gray-black phoenix looked more like a panicked pheasant.

"Thoughts can't be killed! Thoughts can't be killed!"

Accompanied by the gray-black phoenix's howl, the cut-off bird claws condensed again, and even the cut-off tail feathers gathered behind it again, making it regain some luxury and grace.

But just when it turned around and wanted to take advantage of the loss of the weapon in Du Chengfeng's hand to continue shouting a few words,

However, the phantom sword appeared in Du Chengfeng's hand again.

Thoughts are indeed immortal, and it is true that it is true.

So it is normal that this sword of thought condensed by pure consciousness will not be thrown away like ordinary weapons?

"Maybe I should thank you. After all, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

The phantom sword was thrown out again, and Du Chengfeng rushed over.

Unkillable? Nothing is unkillable.

It's just a matter of killing a few more times. Du Chengfeng has already had considerable experience in this regard.

"How is it possible...how is it possible!"

Narrowly avoiding the flying phantom sword, the gray-black phoenix turned its head and saw the falling tail feathers again.

This time, it finally confirmed one thing.

That is, even now, it is not truly immortal.

"Wait for me...wait for me!"

Seeing that the phantom sword once again returned to Du Chengfeng's hand, and Du Chengfeng's figure was getting closer and closer.

The gray-black phoenix finally screamed and turned around and ran away.

A belated update, which should have been updated during the day, but I was dizzy during the day and the number of words was a bit too much, so it's now.
