"The heart of the strong cannot be blasphemed. The path of the strong cannot be retreated. Why did you choose to give up? "
Night Blade looked at Chu Rui in confusion, as if he couldn't believe that he would refuse.
"The strong are not brash. A person who only knew how to charge and break through enemy lines and fight was not an expert. There is no definition of the strong. The heart of the strong is important, but one has to know when to advance and when to retreat. Judging the situation and knowing when to advance and retreat are the true strong. The actions of a brash person are usually the actions of a suicidal person. Geniuses die young, and to a large extent, they don't know how to judge the situation clearly. … I am very confident, I admit. However, I am not conceited. I know how much I'm worth right now. In a one-on-one fight, I can't even beat the bone snake, let alone this Skeleton General. If a powerful existence like you can't kill the demon you speak of, how can I do it? Indeed, this is an extraordinary trial, and it is very beneficial to me. Moreover, that demon's treasures must be very rich. However, this is no different from suicide, and I am not stupid enough to do it. "
Chu Rui's cold words left Night Blade speechless.
"Why, why is it like this?" Night Blade looked at Chu Rui in disbelief.
"Times are different! Perhaps in your time, everyone was a hot-blooded warrior, the kind who would rather die than turn back. However, have you ever thought about how you would lose your life because of a moment of bravery? Not to mention the sadness of your friends and family, life and death are like extinguished lamps, and you only have one life. If you die, you have nothing left, so what is the point of chasing? … Fine, I can't be bothered to talk to you. Due to the difference in time, the thoughts deeply ingrained in your mind are not so easily changed by a few words of mine. It is useless to say more. … Now, let me go! Although I can't defeat the demon you speak of, I still want to try against the Skeleton General. "
"Perhaps, you are right!" Under Chu Rui's gaze, Night Blade sighed after a long time. "I don't have much time left, and I can't wait any longer. I know it's difficult, but I still want to ask you to help me kill that demon and get rid of my brothers. "
"What do you mean?" Chu Rui narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Back then, after the Great War of the Gods and Devils, the Mortal World was left in a state of devastation. Many originally beautiful places were completely destroyed. The Immortal Qi left behind by the Immortals of the Immortal World was absorbed by some human experts. Together with the Spirit Veins, they formed a Holy Land to protect the Human World. The Devil Qi left behind by the Devil Race had caused unimaginable consequences to the human world. In addition to the Devil Race that had not been destroyed and had been sealed away, it formed a Devil Land like the Scarlet Canyon. Our Demon-Buster Army was established to clean up such places. "
"Back then, we received a report that the demon sealed in the Crimson Canyon leaked its demonic energy due to the weakening of the seal. It drained the blood of all the villagers in a nearby village and devoured their souls. I was ordered by my superiors to lead an army to kill it. However, we were stopped by an evil sorcerer on the way. He was very strange and had subdued a Green-Eyed Venomous Python. Its terrifying venom caused us to suffer heavy casualties. "Just as we were in the midst of the battle, the sealed demon leaked its demonic energy into the evil sorcerer's body, causing his strength to increase tremendously. We were forced to retreat. I used a secret technique to delay the evil sorcerer, hoping that my brothers could quickly kill the Green-Eyed Venomous Python. However, my damned deputy general, who is now the Skeletal General, was afraid of death. He actually abandoned my brothers and ran for his life. Not only that, but he also ran around randomly and broke the formation, causing my brothers to die one by one. Once the deputy general ran away, the already chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic. Morale was low, and many people started to run. In the end, I was surrounded by the evil sorcerer and the Green-Eyed Venomous Python and had no choice but to disband and severely injure them. "
"When I woke up, I was shocked to find that my spirit was actually residing in the army flag. There were corpses everywhere outside. All my brothers had sacrificed themselves, and that damned deputy general did not manage to escape. At first, I thought that this was the end of the matter. However, I did not expect that all my brothers' spirits were unable to leave. They were bound to this place by the powerful demonic energy of the sealed demon. If not for the fact that he was still sealed, and that our spirits were much stronger than the commoners' and filled with killing intent, we would have been devoured by him long ago. Tens of thousands of people died here. The resentment that was formed directly caused the Red Canyon to become even more terrifying. The Demon-Buster Army had attacked many times, but they were all defeated by our brothers who were controlled by the demonic energy! "
"Today, I can feel that the demon is about to break the seal. If this continues, we will all be devoured and never be reincarnated. My spirit is residing in the army flag and has not been tainted by the demonic energy. Furthermore, after so many years of nourishment, I have already recovered to my peak. If I want to redeem myself, I have to kill that demon and get rid of the demonic energy here. However, without a physical body, I cannot unleash my full strength. Now that you are here, I feel that this is heaven's will. The heavens have given me one last chance. For the sake of the tens of thousands of brothers' spirits here, I hope that you can help me! Come with me and kill the demon from the abyss. "
After hearing Ye Ren's words, Chu Rui was speechless for a long time. Looking at Ye Ren's pleading and sincere eyes, Chu Rui could not bear to reject him. Tens of thousands of souls had been trapped in this disgusting Red Canyon for who knew how long. What's more, they were being controlled and trapped in that small skeleton's body. It was so tragic!
"Your situation is indeed pitiful. However, with my strength, even if I went, I would not be able to save all of you. There is no point in doing so. You said that without a physical body, you cannot unleash your full strength. In that case, you must be prepared to die if you go. You do not have much chance of winning. If you go like this, you will be courting death! I know your situation, but I cannot do anything. I am not belittling myself, but I am unable to help you at all. If you trust me, you can wait here. Once my strength increases, I will come and help you one day. Or, if you do not trust me, you can go on your own. I promise you that I will avenge you. "
Chu Rui said calmly. It was not that he was unreasonable, nor was it that he did not have any sympathy. He knew how much he was worth. His strength was not bad, but at most, he could only play with Gold Bosses. Dark Gold Bosses were the limit. Unlike the Undead Lich, who had fought with an existence of the same level and was heavily injured, losing at least 90% of his strength, a Legendary Boss. Now, he was an existence that was completely unharmed. Even the Skeleton General had a headache dealing with him, not to mention the unknown demon behind the scenes!
Help? Sure! But if you want to die, sorry, I will not accompany you!
