[Sword III] Seeking Wings

Modin desperately bowed his head to the side.

The sword energy cut open his hat and condensed a layer of frost on his face, but it didn't hurt him in the end.

At this moment, Chi Xiao finally couldn't support anymore, and fell down in front of him.

Modin just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that the strange force that manipulated his actions had invaded his consciousness again.

He involuntarily ran towards the open space.

——Just as Chi Xiao glanced at the phantoms of the two young men there, he struggled to stand up, and stabbed with a sharp sword again.

Modin is being controlled and cannot dodge at all.

At the very moment, Tang Xiaoyi, who was in the fog barrier on the other side, suddenly screamed.

***

When Moding just realized that he was transformed into a bandit, Tang Xiaoyi began to fall into samadhi.

——Completely isolated from the perception of the outside world, the mind only drifts in the sea of ​​consciousness, with the help of one of the wonderful base points in the shape of an air mass, it receives the power from the illusion smoothly and quickly, and then gradually merges it with its own consciousness.

She discovered that this gaseous base point didn't seem to be something originally in her body.

Could it be...the phantom weapon of the faction?She suddenly remembered.

Tang Xiaoyi had some knowledge of the phantom weapon project a year ago.She is one of the selected weapon users with a special physique.

But just three months before the implementation of the plan, she was seriously injured by the enemy of the Haoqi League, and it seemed difficult to play in full strength.

In the end, it was her good friend Xiu girl who replaced her and became the official candidate to finally participate in the weapon competition.

——And because of this, he was killed by his lover himself.

At the last moment of her life, this girl who had never been strong broke the glass bottle with miraculous will and strength, so that there was no winner in that battle.

"...So, how did the phantom weapon come to me?" Tang Xiaoyi subconsciously asked.

——She had already withdrawn from the plan at that time, and knew nothing about the details and follow-up of that battle.

Therefore, she didn't know that it wasn't her lover who killed Miss Xiu, but Chi Xiao who disguised as her younger brother to fight in the battle, and also didn't know that Modin was the witness of that battle, and the substance in the bottle he was carrying was gradually passing to her.

"Forget it, it's not important now."

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Tang Xiaoyi put this question aside completely.

——Because she has made it clear that the illusion weapons of Mass Burial Mound can be small enough to strangle the throat of Fenghu Village stronghold of the Haoqi League, and large enough to deter the entire Fenghua Valley.Even if her manipulative ability is advanced enough, the person controlled by the illusion can still obey her command after leaving the mass grave for a period of time, her power alone will be enough to influence and even reverse the crisis of Luoyang's fall.

She is now concentrating on completing the weapon connection as soon as possible, which is related to the entire region—or even, possibly, the future of the entire country.

Therefore, Tang Xiaoyi emptied his mind again, endured the abnormal feeling of weakness brought about by the fusion process, and fully accepted all the vicious powers into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Because she completely opened her heart defense, she began to gradually go into a trance, and many memories flowed back and forth freely from childhood to adulthood.

In the end, they all end up in the same sentence.

"I want to make big wings that never need to land, take me to the place where the white clouds and starry sky are, and I can stay as long as I want."

Ten years ago, Tang Xiaoyi had such a dream.

Ten years later, she has long since given up on it.

But now I am settled in the pure heart, all external things are far away, and there is no longer any responsibility and right and wrong. I once firmly believed that it was buried deep in my heart, and the delusion that would never emerge again began to become clear and even firm.

Tang Xiaoyi opened his eyes.

Seeing that the previous alpine maple forest is no longer there, the dark blue night sky filled the field of vision, with white clouds floating in the sky.

And the most beautiful star winking at her.

And I am only an arm away from them.

Just reach out and touch.

...It turns out that at close range, the stars are not silver, but slightly blue.

The light is so clear and transparent, and it seems to contain endless depth.

It is even more beautiful than imagined.

——It’s so beautiful.

Thinking in a daze, Tang Xiaoyi stretched out his hand towards the stars floating in front of him.

The touch of the stars is hard and cold, like metal, but not as sharp as metal, but smoother than the best silk, and more moist than the best ice jade.

She caught the stars.

——Then suddenly felt a sharp pain that seemed to peel off her soul, and it spread rapidly along her fingertips throughout her body.

That is not a physical perception, but arises directly from consciousness.Tang Xiaoyi had never had such an experience before, so he was caught off guard and immediately screamed instinctively.

The field of vision shook violently, the scenery was broken, and the colorful colors continued to rotate.

When they were still again, the normal ground scene of Ziyuan Mountain in the illusion finally returned.

Now, Tang Xiaoyi can see clearly what is still floating in front of him, what is the star-like beautiful thing.

——The blade fragment of Scarlet Sky Red Lotus.

They were exuding a cold aura, condensing the surrounding air into a mist that could isolate her from the environment.

— forming a white cage to bind her.

Because he no longer reached out to touch the fragments at this time, the pain invading his consciousness was relieved a lot, but Tang Xiaoyi felt more clearly that they were stripping him of the power of fusion with the illusion weapon.

***

Chi Xiao heard Tang Xiaoyi's scream.

He immediately let go of Modin and focused on her direction.

When Tang Xiaoyi began to establish a connection with the mass grave field, his control over the current illusion began to loosen, and Chixiao Honglian, who had been firmly isolated, finally came in.

——and began to absorb the illusionary substances owned by the realm master, which belonged to lower levels of evil, and transformed them into their own storage.

According to estimates, in about a quarter of an hour, the fantasy weapons in the Valley of the Wicked will be transferred to the Haoqi League.

However, during this process, the vision caused by the temporary instability of the connection will continue.

There are still bandit-like phantom people appearing, trying to attack the only opportunity to break the illusion in the open space, so as to cut off all the induction connections, and trap the person who invades the evil spirit field and wants to become the master forever in nothingness.

With Chi Xiao's current situation, it is already very difficult, even dangerous, to deal with them.

——He who is not yet the Landlord will not be protected by the illusion, and the injuries he suffers here will be brought into reality, so every time he meets the enemy now, his life is already hanging by a thread.

In fact, if Tang Xiaoyi had been connected to Chixiaohonglian earlier when he climbed the cliff and delivered his blood to the fantasy realm, he could have easily avoided the current predicament.

——At that time, the illusion was more turbulent than it is now, and it would be easier to break through the isolation, so that it would not cause the current consumption of the sword master. Tang Xiaoyi, as the master of the realm, was also at the most vulnerable time, and began to transfer her at this time Strength, it can be done in no more than 5 minutes.

But Chi Xiao never considered doing so.

Because it would bring great pain to Tang Xiaoyi.

Although it won't cause real harm, he can't treat his most important old man like this.

Just like now, it is obviously not his fault that she touched the blade fragments with her own hands, and when he heard her scream, he would immediately take the risk of backlash and disarm Chixiao Honglian recklessly. bondage.

In an instant, the white clouds dissipated and the stars moved away.

Because of the sudden force field fluctuation in the narrow area, the ground where Tang Xiaoyi was located also began to vibrate and crack, and the abyss was vertical and horizontal.

Knowing that he shouldn't get closer to her at this time, Chi Xiao still ran over and grabbed Tang Xiaoyi when he almost tripped into the abyss.

***

The moment the two approached, Tang Xiaoyi suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity, which soon occupied his whole mind.

——Exactly the same breath as the opportunity to break the illusion.

In an illusion, there can only be one opportunity.

Therefore, Chi Xiao is the little brother Chunyang she always misses.

Previously, her mind had firmly denied their connection.

But now, in the illusion, at an unprecedented close range, the subconscious that is countless times sharper than usual has given the most convincing and unquestionable answer.

No wonder he has Xuanjing, knows how to use Tangmen's organs, wears a red jade hairpin on his head, and his basic swordsmanship is so distinctive; , and occasionally leaked a soft ending; no wonder he just fell into the illusion, and he can directly appear at the position that coincides with the opportunity to break the illusion...

All the lingering questions since I met my peers have now been answered.

Tang Xiaoyi held Chi Xiao's hand tightly and leaned on his shoulder, allowing him to lead him away from the fractured area, and at the same time glanced in the direction of the open space.

The phantoms of the two teenagers who were there, together with the phantom of the bandit, all disappeared at this moment.

On the top of Ziyuan Mountain where the night wind blows, only the person who made the promise ten years later is holding hands at the promised place. Facing the same starry sky as before, the maple leaves are fluttering.

"Oh, it's really you."

Tang Xiaoyi sighed very briefly and silently.

——Then suddenly pinched Chi Xiao's meridians with fingers together, and poured his poisonous internal force back along his meridians.

Unexpectedly, Chi Xiao was completely unprepared, and was severely injured almost instantly.

Tang Xiaoyi heard his rapid and disordered breathing and saw the blood on his lips, but still without hesitation, he continued to attack with all his strength.

Until there were several extremely light metallic sounds behind him, as clear as broken stars.

She turned her head and saw that all the blades that were suspended in the air finally fell to the ground.Looking down from her angle, the bluish shards are shining in the dark grass, and suddenly, they seem to be blinking at her.

——This shows that the sword master has not completely lost his mobility.

——As long as she is a little slack now, he will have a chance to fight back again.
