The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Beside the four silent graves, Chen Subaru sat quietly, flipping through the message Lin Hu left for Xueer in the sea of ​​consciousness. The words revealed not only his dying instructions, but also his deep helplessness and determination.

Lin Hu's message was short and heavy: "Sister Xue'er, maybe this title is no longer important to you and me. I'm going to die, but there is one thing I must entrust to you. If you see Lin Yue again, please don't hesitate She immediately ended her life. We were controlled by Gu Yixin, but we also learned the secret of Lin Yue's possession of a demon species. I don't have time to explain this matter. You just need to know that even without the Puppet Law, the Huanchen Sect's secret. The puppet is also unable to resist the control of the demon species. This demon species is parasitic in Lin Yue's body. She is destined to be unable to escape its control. Please do not tell the master about this before meeting Lin Yue. This is the best for all of us. s Choice."

After Chen Subaru finished reading, he remained silent, with thoughts in his heart.

Xue'er's voice came softly: "Although the message was short, it made the key points clear. Sister Lin Hu must have wanted to explain everything clearly, but she no longer had the strength to deliver more."

Chen Subaru let out a long sigh, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Once upon a time, I didn't understand why the body was so concerned about the life and death of others. Although I don't know where she comes from, I understand that she does not belong to this realm, and I am just a carrier. The container of her memory. I thought that the ontology would live more easily without the burden of these emotions. But now, I began to understand the meaning of the ontology letting me perform this task.”

Xueer did not answer. Chen Subaru thought that she failed to understand his emotions, so he did not continue the discussion in depth, but turned his attention to Chen Jiao, who was still in a coma.

He sent a message to Xue'er and said: "Xue'er, this tenth sister may not be as simple as you and I see. You should first untie her."

Xueer followed Chen Subaru's instructions without hesitation.

As the restraints were lifted, Chen Jiao gradually woke up under the stimulation of Chen Subaru's spiritual power.

After Chen Jiao woke up, she asked Chen Subaru angrily: "Wen Ruo, where is your sword... Lin Yue?"

Chen Subaru was not moved by her anger and replied calmly: "Sister Ten, Lin Yue has fallen."

Chen Jiao was stunned. She noticed the fourth newly added grave behind Chen Subaru.

Chen Subaru didn't give her a chance to get angry, and immediately said: "The demon species has been eliminated by me."

Afterwards, he watched Chen Jiao's wonderful expression change, from angry to shocked, and just when she was about to turn into furious, she seemed to have been drained of all her anger and regained her composure.

When Chen Subaru saw this, he secretly guessed: It is indeed so.

He took the opportunity to put forward his bold hypothesis: "From the beginning to the end, the holder of the demon seed is Lin Yue, and you are her protector. I'm afraid the real puppet is Chen Kewei, right?"

Chen Jiao's body trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up skillfully. Chen Subaru naturally noticed this subtle change, but he was not sure whether this was a trap deliberately set by Chen Jiao. He could not make a rash judgment at this moment, but chose to observe to see what tricks his mysterious tenth sister would play next.

Sure enough, after Chen Subaru remained calm, Chen Jiao snorted coldly, changed from her usual modesty and gentleness, and asked Chen Subaru coldly: "When did you discover our flaws?"

Chen Subaru touched his nose gently, looking a little embarrassed. He sighed helplessly: "Sister Ten, I really don't know where to start, because there are too many flaws. First of all, why did the Holy Guards do this? Recruiting you, with all due respect, your performance can only be described as a mess. The Holy Guard actually tolerates you swaggering under their banner, which makes me very puzzled.

"Secondly, Sister Ten, your performance is too mediocre. Since Lin Yue can completely control Gui Wu, why didn't she control you earlier? If she had done that, wouldn't she have been more arbitrary? After all, her perfection Slavery is invisible to others.

"Moreover, Tenth Sister, the scene you performed in the Xuanwu Army was too clumsy. After the four girls of Pinghu Qiuyue missed, were you really panicked? Are you afraid that the four girls would fall into the hands of Qinglong Castle? What was exposed, so you took the risk to get close to me personally, even using the excuse of being controlled by Lin Yue's perfect slave to gain my trust.

"Sister Ten, your performance is too fake. Although the situation of being perfectly enslaved will vary depending on the subject's own reasons, the essence of maintaining the master will not change. However, Sister Ten, what about your performance? You are far different from Gui Wu. You can't let go of your posture to play the role of master and servant, so are you planning to confuse me with your sisterly love?

"In Puyang Junjun Town, you arranged the group of people who targeted Lin Yue, right? You let the unawakened demon species stay with me. Do you always feel unsafe, or do you want to take Lin Yue back?

"Why did you come with Lin Yue this time? I have thought about it for a long time. In addition to supporting Gu Yixin, Chen Bing's 20,000 Xuanwu Army in northern Jingzhou also had the intention of supporting Lin Yue? Now Gu Yixin has controlled the entire Ningzhou The Allied Forces of the Zhou Dynasty went to attack the Monster Clan, but they were still there to contain the main force of the Jingzhou Army. Are they still afraid that the Jingzhou Army would support the Monster Clan army?

"Sister Ten, are there any omissions in what I said?"

When Chen Jiao heard this, she sneered, and then a strange scene happened. Her eyes, mouth, nose, and ears actually overflowed with black blood at the same time.

When Chen Subaru saw this, his expression changed drastically. He was about to come forward to visit, but was stopped by Xue'er urgently: "Master, she may have been poisoned. The poison is now active. Don't get close, otherwise you may suffer accidents."

Chen Jiao's body curled up in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and forced out a sarcastic voice: "Chen Wenruo...you...know nothing...hahahaha..."

Chen Subaru looked at Chen Jiao's final struggle and felt pity in his heart. He said in a calm tone: "I know nothing... You want to say that everything you do is related to the upcoming catastrophe, right? "

Chen Jiao was struggling in pain. After hearing this, she could only utter one word: "You..."

Then, she turned into a pool of black water in endless pain and wailing.

Chen Subaru shook his head and rammed the earth to erect a new tomb on the spot.

Looking at the five tombs in front of him, Chen Subaru took a deep breath, bowed to the five tombs, and said: "No matter where you come from, no matter what your purpose is, no matter what you have done to me secretly, today, I will die. The debt is gone and I won’t pursue it anymore. All five of you died because of me. After all, the time we spent together and the things you experienced together are real. , I’ll take it as real and let me take them on the journey. As for how long the journey will be, who can tell?”

After saying this, Chen Subaru drew out the Liangyi Tianbing Sword, selected five pieces of fine wood, and carved them into wooden tablets with sword energy. Each tablet was engraved with only one word: "Ping, Hu, Qiu, Yue, Jiao." The base of five two-foot-long monuments was deeply implanted into the ground in front of the tomb.

After setting up the monument, Chen Subaru flew northward without looking back.

In the escaping light that shuttled through the space, Xueer asked softly: "Master, don't we need to report our actions today to Qinglong Fort?"

Chen Subaru smiled slightly and said calmly: "Reporting it is just adding unnecessary trouble. The current information is not complete, and it will not be too late to report it all after we complete the mission and return from Yizhou. Xue'er "Don't underestimate Sister Jiao'er's tricks. Maybe the appearance of Chen Jiao and Lin Yue was carefully arranged by her."

Xueer thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "I understand, Master, their death at your hands is the best explanation for all parties."

Chen Subaru did not delve into this topic, but changed the topic and asked curiously: "Xue'er, what is the relationship between you and Bing'er?"

Hearing this, Xue'er showed a knowing smile: "Master, are you concerned about Bing'er? Don't worry, she will be able to talk to you after she wakes up."

Chen Subaru became curious: "Oh? Are you saying that Bing'er also has her own personality?"

Cher replied: "Yes, we are both unified as a whole and yet independent. This feeling is very strange. As for why this is the case, I don't know."

Chen Subaru continued to ask: "So, when are you a whole, and when are you independent individuals?"

Xue'er thought for a moment and replied: "This is difficult to explain. In short, on weekdays, we are one. If the master wants to talk to Bing'er, I can't speak, and vice versa. However, when fighting, we are independent individual.

"Nowadays, the Liangyi Tianbing Sword can be divided into a living sword and a death sword based on the master's understanding of the sword of life and death. The living sword breeds the law of life and is extremely excellent in defense; while the death sword can theoretically cut off cause and effect, In the future, it will become an extremely powerful offensive weapon.

"Speaking of which, I originally didn't believe that the Death Sword could be so powerful, but it killed the demon species in one fell swoop. It was a being that required careful refinement by monks in the Fusion Realm or even the Mahayana Realm. It was actually destroyed by the Death Sword in one blow. It was really shocking. People are amazed.”

Chen Subaru nodded lightly. There was a question in his mind that he had been wondering for a long time. He finally couldn't help blurting out: "Xue'er, judging from your and Bing'er's appearance, you seem to have grown up to be the little Xue'er you once were, but why did Bing'er …”

The understanding Xue'er took over Chen Subaru's unspeakable words: "Master, Bing'er can be regarded as Murong Xue's remnant soul in a sense."

Chen Subaru showed a surprised look: "What? Didn't Murong Xue's remnant soul disappear after the fusion?"

Xue'er replied with a trace of helplessness: "Master, it is precisely because you have understood the sword of life and death! Although Murong Xue's remnant soul has merged and dissipated, because of your deep longing for her relatives and the fetters of the sword of life and death, she was able to Rebirth. This is one thought of death, one thought of life, Master."
