[Sword III] Seeking Wings

Feeling the warm blood gushing out from under his palm, Modin panicked instinctively. He didn't know whether to let go immediately or press carefully to stop the bleeding. Staring around, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chi Xiao falling to one side covered in cold sweat, he screamed in alarm and rushed over to support him with his hands and feet.

——He was born gentle, so far he has never and never thought of solving any problems with violence, so although he has no forgiveness, he has no intention of hurting the murderer who killed his beloved at this time.

"Master Tang, Lady Tang can't kill you anymore, please don't kill her either... You two should heal your wounds first, and we can talk about any conflicts later, okay?... Well, are the enemies outside looking for us? ..."

As if he wanted to convince himself, he murmured this sentence in his heart and typed it countless times. Finally, Modin shook his fingers resolutely and opened his eyes blurred with tears.

In the five days since they met each other, he had never seen Chi Xiao at such a close, face-to-face angle.

Although the person in front of him was so painful that even his lips were completely pale, his face was still expressionless like a statue made of ice.

It was the same posture as when he almost killed himself by mistake four days ago in the illusion.

Modin thought that he had adjusted his mentality and was able to face the "enemy" peacefully, but now he suddenly felt dizzy as if falling into a nightmare again.

While the world was spinning, he suddenly recalled the last scene he had just seen in the illusion.

At that time, Qing Yun, who learned of Miss Xiu's death, broke into the room and had an argument with Chi Xiao. In a rage, he strangled his brother's neck.

Modin still remembered that in the illusion, Qingyun pressed Chi Xiao against the wall, standing in front of him with tears in his eyes and staring at him, which completely coincided with his current self.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the lingering trance blankness in his mind, which came from the gas in the fireworks, was expanding.In the field of vision, the distorted blood ripples on the ground that were distorted like a pink veil continued to spread, until they completely replaced the persuasion he was about to utter, filling the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

"Am I...finally..." Looking at this moment, in reality, the strong man who had made him deeply fearful was also pressed against the tree trunk by himself, with no power to resist, Modin's hands suddenly went numb. Trembling uncontrollably.

In the pink blood ripples, he began to have absurd associations, as if the selfish and cowardly self had an opportunity to transform, and could become as enthusiastic, strong, and decisive as Qingyun...

Love and hate.

Only by becoming a person like him and doing what he did, can he be worthy of making love with Miss Xiu.

For this, you have to...

Such thoughts lurched in his mind, unstoppable and repeated, and Modin suddenly felt that the real scene of the forest in front of him was also shaking.

In the boundless and thick night, those branches and leaves swaying with the south wind seemed to be spiraling into the only passage, inviting him to reach out and take this first step to reach the other side, the new life he wanted.

but……

Staring at Chi Xiao's defenseless soft neck exposed in front of his eyes, Modin repeatedly twisted and twisted his fingers that almost stretched out involuntarily.

He has watched countless battles between camps, and he clearly knows why these heroes, who have the same chivalry and benevolence, would kill each other with sober reason and madness regardless of everything——

It's just revenge, that's all.

The companion died at the hands of the hostile camp, and the murderer must be killed for revenge.And the murderer on the opposite side also has companions, and they have to pay for their dead.

Enmity and killing karma accumulated back and forth, and the two sides began to compete with each other on the territorial power that was originally something outside of themselves. All the differences in ideas that could have been discussed in a sit-down manner gradually became life and death.

…until kind people finally learn to be cruel.

Love each other sincerely, and it becomes immortal in an instant.

...So, you have clearly seen such meaningless, avoidable tragedies too many times, and you want to let yourself become a part of it?

Thinking of this, Modin's outstretched hand suddenly deflected.

Straight to catch Chixiao Honglian suspended in mid-air.

He felt an unusually cold touch, and he trembled all over, finally waking up from the trance caused by hallucinogens.

The distorted pink ripples in the field of vision and the circling branches and leaves disappeared immediately, only the surface of the radiant sword blade was as clear as a mirror, reflecting his eyes that had finally regained clarity even though tears were blurred.

However, the next moment, the blade floating in mid-air suddenly fell gently into his hand, and the originally unusually bright azure blue brilliance completely disappeared, leaving only the cold and pale metal.

"...What's the matter with you, Daoist?!" Responding, Modin hurriedly looked up at Chi Xiao.

He was facing Shang Chi Xiao who was also staring at him for the last time.

——When Modin touched the blade by mistake just now, he used his remaining internal strength to isolate him from the injury, and he was no longer able to stop the bleeding from the wound on his wrist that was torn twice. Now, the degree of blood loss is already fatal.

Modin had never seen, nor imagined, that this "perverted killer" with a cold temperament in front of him would have such vivid and warm eyes.

It's like apology, comfort, entrustment, and before death, all the masks that had to be disguised are removed, and the purest truth is finally revealed.

"Daozhang, I didn't... right... no, it's not me..."

Facing Chi Xiao's gaze, Modin finally gradually recalled that although he finally gave up taking revenge, he rushed over indiscriminately before, and just caught his injured wrist, but he had inadvertently dealt a fatal blow.With tears streaming down his face, he murmured incoherently and waved his hands again and again, then suddenly lowered his head, frantically searching for the first aid medicine in his pocket.

However, before his trembling hands could hold anything firmly, Chi Xiao had already collapsed and completely stopped breathing.

On the other side not far away, Tang Xiaoyi, who was lying in a pool of blood, confirmed that his opponent was dead, and finally let go of the sleeve arrow in his hand.

Lifting the corners of her mouth lightly, and sighing again, she also closed her eyes, and calmly passed her breath.

——Her injury would not be fatal on the spot. If she sealed the acupoints and adjusted her breath in time, she could be saved.

But she didn't save herself.

——Just aimed recklessly, struggling to pull the trigger, even when Modin rushed over to grab Chi Xiao, blocking most of her view, she didn't give up at all.

——Until seeing that the enemy is dead, you can rest in peace without regret.

***

"...Hey, I didn't kill you guys."

In the distance, Kuvatsam appeared from behind the tree shadow, looking at the two corpses on the ground.

Because of some inexplicable reason, which almost surpassed the rational sense of familiarity, he still didn't want to take Chi Xiao's life with his own hands.I wanted to wait for Tang Xiaoyi and Moding to join forces to kill him - such a situation would be most beneficial to the Spike Army, but I didn't expect that Modin, who clearly had a deep hatred with Chi Xiao, did not directly attack him, but Tang Xiaoyi hated him so much that he seemed to have lost his mind. Reasonable, so that both of them died together.

"...You guys." He sighed, watching Modin pick up the scattered blade fragments on the ground after laying the two corpses flat, and put them into his pocket.

Before fighting Tang Xiaoyi, Chi Xiao had already activated the force field between the blades to guide the evil energy in the forest to the outside. After the death of the sword master, they could theoretically maintain their function for at least two hours.

Now, Kuvatsam needs to use the remaining six blades in the forest to extract the phantom substance from Tang Xiaoyi's body-this is much more time-consuming and laborious than directly capturing a living person and using drugs to control her to obey orders, and one must An undisturbed and quiet environment—then walk out of the forest, use the resonance between the blades to find the rest buried on the path leading to Luoyang, and turn them to the direction of Ziyuan Mountain.

——In this way, the remaining tens of thousands of living puppets in the forest can be mobilized, and the crisis situation of the main force of the Spike Army in Ziyuan Mountain can be reversed in one fell swoop.

In order not to disturb Modin, Kuvatsam held back his breath and quietly approached from behind.

However, before he had walked a few steps, this civilian who clearly had no martial arts discovered him with unusual sensitivity.

After tightening the pocket that held the blade, Modin got up and ran away.He had the experience of getting under the table countless times in the melee of the camps, and his movements were far more dexterous than ordinary people. When he was in a hurry, his speed was extremely fast, and he rushed into the shadow of the forest almost instantly.

However, in front of a top master, these are of no use.

After being stunned for a moment, Kuvatsam chased after him with light work, and quickly approached Modin.

He stopped the young man whose eyes were straightened with fright, and was about to use his fingers to fix him and take away the sword he was carrying, when he suddenly saw a cold light shooting from behind him in the corner of his eyes.

——Dragon Arrow.

Dodging to one side, listening to the sharp sound of the arrow going straight forward and breaking the branches in the distance, Kuvatsam turned his head and looked at the other side of the forest. military lady.

"...Just the two of you?" Seeing that the two of them didn't bring any subordinates except Cang Dad, who was riding with him, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's enough to clean you up." Father Cang replied, and at the same time raised his hand, the black iron shield whirled in the air, and the dark afterimage twisted and twisted like a net, forcing the stunned opponent back a few steps in an instant.

In fact, the two of them brought their troops down originally, because the main forces all retreated to Ziyuan Mountain, and the total manpower of no more than a thousand was all that could be mobilized from the border strongholds of both sides.

Although according to the new plan, they no longer forcefully kill Kuvatsam, but delay him here for a while, these people will lose at least half.

In the next step, when they competed for the spoils of the surprise attack on Luoyang, none of them would survive.

——And such a sacrifice was originally the purpose of the two of them.

A year ago, Cang's father and Jun's mother received military orders one after another, and learned that they joined the camp and served as commanders. One step is the power of the two camps of the warlord.

Although they belonged to different armies and never knew that the other party had received such a secret order, they managed to maintain the see-saw checks and balances of the camp strongholds in the region by relying on the increasingly tacit actions formed in the confrontation over the years, even at the expense of In all kinds of conflicts, the war of attrition is given priority to reduce the excessively fast-growing personnel and military strength of the two camps that have penetrated into the rivers and lakes in the turbulent situation.

——The battle in front of us, at the cost of the sacrifice of hundreds of comrades, will cause the two camps to shrink the defense line on the eastern border of Fenghua Valley. The whole border defense, the camp strongholds on the border will soon be taken over by the officers and soldiers, and will be completely brought back under the control of the imperial court.

However, just now, when Tang Xiaoyi and Chi Xiao expressed their love for each other and killed each other with all their strength, and the last words Kuvatsam said to Tang Xiaoyi before they fought, the two of them were unwilling to do that to their colleagues again. plan.

After a brief consideration, they decided to be the first line of defense themselves.

If the two officers and soldiers fail, it is still not too late to hand over the task to the subordinates in Jianghu.

Although in the capacity of a leader, such a solitary confrontation with the enemy can be called a preposterous act.

But after countless times of indebtedness to his comrades, he was finally able to abandon all planning at the end of the strategy and only concentrate on leading the way. Being a real soldier again was probably a kind of atonement.

especially--

The two looked at the fireworks carton on the ground and smiled at each other.

——If this battle is really over, it is clearly the most satisfactory ending that can be imagined in this life, to be able to bathe in blood and go to the underworld together with this old enemy made in heaven.

"...You guys, I finally figured it out, very good."

Seeing Cang's father and Jun's mother with awe-inspiring expressions, standing with their backs in front of the empty bushes, pointing their weapons straight at them, Kuwacham clapped his hands lightly.

——If the two bring companions, he can also guide some of the berserk wolf teeth soldiers in the forest who have already turned their instincts into following the master to fight for him. Thousands of living puppets who are killing with all their might.

But since they came alone, he would also be happy to have a duel here, which only belongs to soldiers.
