Yue Hongyan stared fixedly at Zhang Lie, staring at this man who left her with an unforgettable memory.
This man was once her master, teaching her skills and techniques, helping her grow.
After the destruction of the Snowgale Kingdom, her elder brother Yue Hongfeng and Zhang Lie were the people closest to her. After Yue Hongfeng's death, the man in front of her became her spiritual pillar. He was both the person who taught her and her lover.
During those difficult times when they were being hunted by the Great Zhou dynasty, Zhang Lie protected them time and time again, moving from place to place, leading them to fight against the Great Zhou dynasty for the sake of their homeland.
During those days, Zhang Lie was like the sun, dispelling the darkness for the survivors of Snowgale country.
He was like the pillar of a house, supporting a place to stay for the people of Snowgale country who cherished their homeland and were unwilling to submit to the Great Zhou.
But it was also this person who killed one compatriot after another, bathing the entire Society of the Strong Gale in blood.
The anger in Yue Hongyan's eyes gradually cooled down, becoming ice cold. At this moment she felt as if she had never known this black-clothed man in front of her who she once thought she was very familiar with. This feeling was unprecedentedly strong.
"Cowardly and incompetent people, there is no use in keeping you. I will use your flesh and blood to pay tribute to my Snowgale country." Yue Hongyan said coldly: "These were your original words back then, but looking at it now, it was just an excuse!"
Zhang Lie looked at Yue Hongyan, then looked at the silent Kang Nanhua, then looked at Zhao Huan who was looking at him with a gaze filled with hatred and fear.
"It is not that you are blind, it is that I myself have never seen myself clearly before." Zhang Lie faintly smiled, raising his head to look at the sky, as if immersed in his memories: "The me back then also thought that I should be a calm and capable, brave and fearless leader. I once firmly believed that no matter how dark the road ahead is, we will eventually welcome the day when our country is restored, we will eventually welcome the day when the Great Zhou dynasty pays with blood."
"Before that, I will protect my compatriots until the last drop of blood."
"I once firmly believed in this."
Zhang Lie lowered his head, lightly laughing: "You are right, those words back then were indeed an excuse. The cowardly and incompetent people are not you."
"It's me."
He raised his head and smiled at Yue Hongyan. He said calmly, "Hong Yan, do you know? In those days when I was commanding the Order of the Strong Gale to resist the arrest of the Great Zhou dynasty, there was something that gradually grew in the bottom of my heart, becoming stronger and stronger, until in the end it swallowed up my entire soul, making me feel its existence at all times, its activity. "
"Tired? Hardship? Annoyed? None of them. "Zhang Lie said Silently," It's fear, a fear that makes life hopeless. "
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is too powerful, and the enemy is too powerful. To them, we are just a few fleas, completely insignificant. To restore the country, to make the Great Zhou Dynasty pay with blood is too difficult. It's so difficult that I can't see any hope."
"Yes, I'm afraid, I'm in despair. But I can't tell anyone, I can't reveal anything. Because I'm the leader of the Order of the Strong Gale, I have to protect everyone. Everyone is looking at me, relying on me."
"Even though I'm not from the imperial family of Snowgale, my father, grandfather, uncle, elder brother, my entire family of heroes, all died in battle when resisting the invasion of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone can admit defeat, but I can't!"
Zhang Lie closed his eyes, saying indifferently: "But I'm really afraid, so afraid that I can't breathe. But I still have to persevere, carry the safety and trust of thousands of people on my back and continue on."
"Gradually, I started to feel tired. Thoughts started to continuously appear in my mind, if only I didn't have to be responsible for so many people, if only I didn't have to be so tired, if only I didn't have to fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty …"
Zhang Lie opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as water, looking at Yue Hongyan, Kang Nanhua, and Zhao Huan: "From the first time these thoughts appeared, I continuously told myself that this is wrong, that I shouldn't think like that."
"But, these thoughts still continuously appeared, and they became more and more frequent. Correspondingly, the fear in my heart also increased with each passing day, becoming more and more intense, until all of this reached its peak."
"A thought that even I at the time felt terrifying appeared in my heart." Zhang Lie said Slowly: "Those annoying burdens, I really want to kill them all."
The corners of Zhang Lie's mouth twitched, smiling: "That's right, it's that time when I formed Yuanying in order to pass the Void Lightning Tribulation. I mistakenly entered a space that sped up time, and even obtained some fortune. Afterwards I formed Yuanying and even cultivated to the middle stage of Yuanying."
"But at that time, my state of mind was completely out of balance. Many thoughts came one after another, messing up my mind."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty had so many Yuanying cultivators like me, so many Primordial Soul cultivators, so many magical treasures, such a powerful Divine Martial Immortal Extermination Formation … Haha, at that time, we didn't even know that the Great Zhou Dynasty had such a powerful creation magical treasure. From this, it can be seen how insignificant we were."
Zhang Lie's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "I cultivated painstakingly, so what if I formed Yuanying? So what if I cultivated to the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique? In fact, even if I formed the Primordial Soul, so what? "
"My state of mind was completely messed up, I thought I had gone mad."
"Hahahaha." Zhang Lie let out a deep laugh: "You all know what happened next."
"After that, you asked me if I regretted it? I often felt a tinge of regret, but more than that, I felt relaxed and carefree. It was as if I had broken the shackles of many years. It was truly carefree and relaxed like never before. "
"I strongly felt that I no longer had to bear any responsibilities, no longer had to force myself to do things that I didn't want to do. I could only live for myself and do whatever I wanted. What a happy thing it was!"
"Doing whatever I wanted, doing whatever I wanted, this is me. I finally saw clearly that this is the real me. Not only did you not see it clearly, even I myself did not see it clearly in the past."
Zhang Lie shook his head: "After that, I often thought about it. Actually, if I really wanted to break free from the shackles of the past, I only needed to leave. I didn't need to kill anyone, but at that time, I really lost control of myself. The killing intent in my heart was completely uncontrollable."
He looked at Yue Hongyan and the others, a smile appearing on his face again. His tone was calm, but there was a tinge of numbness hidden in it: "After that, I finally realized that actually, the unshakable beliefs and perseverance of a person in the past might not be what they really want. At some point, they will suddenly realize what is the most important to them, and the things that they valued in the past are actually not worth a single cent."
Yue Hongyan looked at Zhang Lie, the anger in her eyes had already disappeared, only endless sorrow: "Zhang Lie, you have really changed so much that I don't recognize you anymore."
If it was just insidious, extreme, and unscrupulous, Yue Hongyan would at most feel resentment. But now, she felt extreme sorrow, for herself, and for the people who had died. The figure that everyone had followed in the past seemed to have turned into a mocking smile.
All the trust, hard work, and courage in the past had become a joke.
Kang Nanhua looked at Zhang Lie and shook his head: "Zhang Lie, it is not that you have recognized yourself, but that your personality has been distorted, and your willpower has been shaken."
He frowned slightly: "But, in such a situation, how can you achieve Primordial Soul? Not to mention Primordial Soul, it is difficult for you to even break through to the late Yuanying Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. What else happened to you? "
"I have said so much just now, but it is all in the past. The current me is naturally different from the past." Zhang Lie smiled slightly: "Whatever you say, in short, I feel that the way I am now is not bad. I am very satisfied with myself, living freely, and having fun."
"If I can get rid of a few more enemies, that will be even better."
Yue Hongyan stared at him, her gaze turning cold again: "Zhang Lie, no matter what, you must repay the blood debt you owe."
Wang Lin said coldly: "We have reminisced for long enough. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we return to Yujing Mountain."
As he spoke, a shadow flashed above his head, and a huge half-black half-white door appeared in a flash. The left half of the door was as black as ink, and there were many relief sculptures on the door, but they were daunting, like the Yaksha, Yama, hungry ghosts, mountains of knives, and seas of fire. It was like hell.
The right half of the door was as white as jade, and there were also many sculptures on the door, but they were flowers, mountains, rivers, and thousands of lives, appearing full of vitality, like a lively world.
The door opened, and the true appearance of a world that alternated between hell for the dead and the world of the living was revealed.
Wang Lin's Four Symbols Realm magical power, one of the four worlds, the Realm of Life and Death.
The world that constantly alternated between the world of the living and hell descended on Zhang Lie, wanting to suck him in.
Zhang Lie smiled, and his hand grabbed at the void beside him, pulling out a green and black halberd. The violent power and piercingly cold murderous aura caused everyone to be shocked.
This was obviously a magic treasure, and it exuded an extremely terrifying power.
Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!
A destructive power that wanted to destroy everything, to destroy everything!
Zhang Lie waved the halberd, and the martial qi and blood that had reached the Primordial Soul stage erupted, and the halberd pierced towards Wang Lin's Realm of Life and Death. The violent power seemed to be able to destroy hell and the world of the living.
The Spirit Nurturing Stage magic treasure in his hand, under the control of his martial will, was not inferior to a Primordial Soul adept in the slightest. When the two joined forces, the destructive power was shockingly terrifying, and it fully displayed the powerful explosive power of a martial adept.
Wang Lin's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were cold. He shouted in a low voice, "Ha!"
The shadow above his head flickered, and it turned into a giant with four faces and eight arms, standing in the void. The Yellow Springs Road extended below him, and the Wangchuan River Silently flowed. A dark stone bridge was erected above the river, and the giant stepped on the stone bridge. Its body was shrouded in black fog, and white light flashed from time to time.
And above the giant's head was a huge and magnificent palace, but this palace itself was completely dark. Above the palace, there were three layers of light and shadow illusions that seemed like stairs, like a pagoda.
Each layer of light and shadow illusions was connected by a half-black and half-white door.
As soon as this giant appeared, the magical power of Wang Lin's Realm of Life and Death immediately surged.
The Law of Heaven and Earth, Wang Lin's Universal Dharma!
