Sometimes, people had to hold on to something.
Why did so many people like to be unconventional in this world? Why did so many people insist on a way of life that was not recognized by the mainstream? Perhaps, it was to obtain a kind of comfort from the outside world or from their own hearts. However, among these people, 99% of them were special behaviors caused by the emptiness and restlessness in their hearts. Most of them were grandstanding. But for Su Bai, this might be his true nature.
He had nothing left to lose. His family, his parents, ethics, morals, relationships, wealth, ideals, and even the last straw, the little fellow, had been stripped away from him. Other than himself, Su Bai had nothing left. If even the last hobby or characteristic was erased, then there was nothing left of Su Bai except for his stinky body.
This was the reality, a very sad reality. In the past, Su Bai had gone to England to seek a cure for his mental illness. But now, it seemed that this was the only thing he had left.
It was very sad and helpless.
Step by step, Su Bai walked toward Jie Ling. He did not know why Jie Ling was weaker than he had imagined, but he knew that the reason he killed Jie Ling was not because he was annoyed by the trap he had set up, but because of his persistence. And Jie Ling was the victim of this persistence.
Seeing that Su Bai did not even want to talk, Jie Ling took a deep breath. He understood that Su Bai had used his adoptive mother as a hostage to force him to come here, not to listen to his apology, nor to vent his anger.
Su Bai actually wanted to kill him.
Jie Ling thought of Liang Sen saying that his neighbor, the little detective, had completely lost his edge because of his bitter life. Jie Ling felt that it was ridiculous. Some things could be summed up according to one's own experience, but when faced with a person who did not have any rules, it was impossible to guess what he would do next.
Even when he had just walked into the community, he did not expect that he would face a real assassination and a life-and-death struggle!
This time, Jie Ling did not let Su Bai make the first move. His fingers began to tremble, and in front of him, a guqin emerged. This should not be Jie Ling's Life Weapon, but the aura exuded by the guqin seemed to be incomparable to that of a Life Weapon.
His fingertips plucked, and the sound of killing was heard. Su Bai continued to walk forward unhurriedly, because in his eyes, even if Jie Ling suddenly took out a divine weapon, he would continue to walk forward and then kill Jie Ling, or be killed himself.
There was no other choice, really.
The ground under his feet began to rapidly weathered, and Su Bai's clothes began to fall into an old-fashioned aura, followed closely by a song of praise to the later years of life.
The sound of the guqin lingered, bringing with it a kind of loneliness, and at the same time, despair!
Of course, Jie Ling did not have the ability to reverse time. What he cultivated was illusions. Everything in front of him was the manifestation of illusions that had reached perfection. Every detail, every feeling was serving the illusion in front of him, making him feel like time was passing quickly. Not only did it make him feel like he was in his twilight years, but it also made his cells feel like they were in their twilight years.
Therefore, it was time to die.
After being promoted to an Advanced Listener, his perception and connection to the surrounding space had become more precise. This also gave a new definition to the skills he had previously. For example, in the past, Jie Ling would never be able to use this move, because he might have a way to deceive ordinary people, but he would not be able to deceive a determined Listener. But now, he could!
The sound of the guqin continued, and time flew.
However, it was always the surrounding scenery and Su Bai's gradually yellowed clothes that had changed. Under the withering and flourishing of each year, the setting sun and setting sun rotated. Everything in his field of vision was like an old photo, and even the wind carried an aura of dusk.
Only Su Bai did not change. He continued to move forward, neither faster nor slower than before.
When he walked in front of Jie Ling, Jie Ling was still playing the guqin, but the corner of his mouth had an additional bitter smile.
It was only at this moment that Jie Ling finally understood. Perhaps, there really was a principle of mutual promotion and restraint. He was good at illusions, and Su Bai was good at close combat. However, Su Bai had another characteristic, and that was his mental fortitude was comparable to that of a pervert. No matter how advanced his illusions were, no matter how incredible they were, they could not change the fact that they were fake.
This point was almost destined to be his Achilles heel. The thing that he was best at was actually the thing that the other party was least afraid of. This left Jie Ling with no choice but to smile bitterly.
The confrontation between high-level listeners seemed to be crueler and more unreasonable. In fact, both sides had just advanced to high-level listeners, and they lacked experience in fighting at this level.
Su Bai stood in front of Jie Ling and looked at him. At the same time, he also looked at the guqin in front of him. He was not in a hurry to attack Jie Ling, even if the distance between the two was suitable for Su Bai.
Because killing Jie Ling was the result that Su Bai wanted, but Su Bai did not enjoy the process.
Su Bai's hands were also placed on the guqin. His good upbringing and family environment had made Su Bai multi-talented. If not for his reclusive personality, Su Bai could have become the most dazzling person in primary school, middle school, and university. He knew many musical instruments, including the piano and the guqin. However, he played the piano much better than the guqin. As for the guqin, he only knew a little. He could play it, but he did not delve too deeply into it.
But for the current situation and the mission of this guqin, playing music had become an additional attribute.
Su Bai's fingers plucked the strings, and a simple and monotonous sound rang out. It was very simple, like a child who had just learned how to play the guqin.
But the moment the guqin sound appeared, Jie Ling's face revealed a dignified expression.
In a trance, he was directly pulled into a kind of emotion. This was the emotion he had created before, but it was forcibly controlled by Su Bai with his shallow skill level.
Jie Ling did not know why this happened.
"My childhood was incomplete." The two photos appeared in Su Bai's mind. It was him kneeling in the corner of the family portrait and the bronze box. "I didn't go there."
His voice was hollow, but it hit the heart. Jie Ling clasped his hands together. As a high-level listener who relied on illusions to get to where he was today, he actually fell to the point where he had to stabilize his heart and not be disturbed by other people's illusions.
Perhaps only Jie Ling himself could understand the pain he was going through.
"My life is being manipulated. I am a marionette, but I can't even see where the strings on my body are. Naturally, I can't see the person who really controls me.
So, I don't have the present. "
At this moment, Jie Ling suddenly understood. When Su Bai's simple playing of the guqin completely touched his emotions, Jie Ling's mind suddenly flashed. He knew that Su Bai did not know how to use illusions. In fact, if it were not for the blessing of his guqin, Su Bai would not be able to exert any effect at all. But Su Bai directly used this guqin to condense illusions that were more profound than his.
Because he focused on the appearance, he pursued all external changes to affect the other party's internal changes. But the other party directly focused on the heart. This was an accumulation of life experience, a kind of life precipitation.
Perhaps Jie Ling was a few years older than Su Bai, but life was not a simple precipitation of time, but the sublimation of experience and experience. Compared to what Su Bai had experienced, Jie Ling was a bit like a piece of white paper.
This time, as long as he did not die, as long as he could survive, with this realization, his strength and cultivation would definitely improve further!
"I don't know if I have the past. I can't see my past, and I'm too lazy to look at it."
Su Bai let out a sigh. The next moment, the strings of the guqin collapsed, and the monotonous sound of the guqin came to an abrupt end. At the same time, Jie Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole person knelt on the ground in disappointment.
Su Bai did not know how to use illusions, so naturally, he did not really know how to control this guqin. Because of this, the guqin could not withstand Su Bai's simple and crude playing method and collapsed.
Jie Ling slowly raised his head. His face was pale, but he also felt a little relieved.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Jie Ling asked weakly. "Our relationship is actually quite good."
Su Bai did not answer because he did not need to answer. He only continued to walk towards Jie Ling. In a series of confrontations, Jie Ling was completely at a disadvantage. Even Su Bai could not figure out the reason behind it.
But this did not affect Su Bai's desire to get the result he wanted.
Kill him,
All for the sake of proving himself, it was equivalent to telling himself,
Look,
I'm still alive.
Jie Ling actually had many other methods, but he knew that in a battle of this level, he had already lost two rounds in a row, and there was almost no chance of him turning the tables.
The battle between high-level listeners had long since broken away from the simple clash of strength and superposition of veterans. It had become more profound.
Jie Ling slowly lowered his head and said unwillingly, "Actually, I really don't want to die."
"Then, why did you give up and surrender?"
This voice was not said by Su Bai. When this voice sounded, Su Bai stopped in his tracks because a man in a red suit had appeared behind Jie Ling. The man bent down and reached out to help Jie Ling up.
"You still have a good impression of him. You feel that your actions have wronged him, so you're prepared to give up and wait for death in a disadvantageous start, right?"
Liang Sen shook his head,
"How silly."
Su Bai still stood in place.
Liang Sen turned his gaze to Su Bai and said in a deep voice, "Just stop when you're ahead. It's not to the point of life and death. Just treat it as giving me face. I will give you a satisfactory answer on this matter. You don't have to be so extreme."
Su Bai suddenly laughed when he heard this.
Then, he said softly,
"You're worthy."
Liang Sen's pupils constricted, and the anger in his heart immediately rose. The arrogant fellow in front of him was directly stepping on his face.
Because in the Land of Dao Verification, when he first verified the Dao, the tombstone he had placed down was directly shattered by Lychee's tombstone. The consciousness left behind by Lychee only replied,
You're worthy?
And this fellow was also present at that time. These three words had a double meaning at this moment!
