Feeling his growing power, Nangong Zhe knew that his original body was on the verge of collapse.
And the method to completely destroy his original body was so simple. He only needed to gently swing his sword three times to end the three phantoms in front of him that couldn't even be considered as living beings.
It was really too simple, wasn't it?
"To be tied down by these meaningless emotions, to let your sword be covered with rust by these useless people. Such a body is so useless that I can't stand it anymore. Since you're so useless, why don't you let me replace you? Whether it's the name of Yama or the sharpness of the Heaven's Calamity Sword, let me properly display their power! "
Nangong Zhe raised the Heaven's Calamity Sword in his hand that had already been unsheathed. The blade's sharpness was getting closer and closer to Nangong Rou's neck.
Three inches …
Two inches …
One inch …
One inch!!!
When the blade was about to touch Nangong Rou's neck, it stopped.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and Nangong Rou's life would be gone.
But at this moment, Nangong Zhe's eyes no longer had the black light that was controlled by the inner demon, nor did they have the usual brilliance.
Instead, they became very lifeless, as if his body no longer belonged to anyone.
… …
"What are you doing! Just a little bit more, just a little bit more! "
The inner demon looked at Nangong Zhe, who was tightly bound by the black chains in front of him, and his face became very ferocious.
Clearly, as long as he waved his sword, he could take away Nangong Rou's life. Let his original body completely collapse, let him completely control Nangong Zhe's body.
But the inner demon was once again pulled back into the spiritual space by an incomprehensible force.
"Clearly, I've already completely controlled the body, and you've been suppressed by me to such a state. How did you, how did you pull me into this space! "
Nangong Zhe should be at a disadvantage right now. Whether it was the black chains on his body or the completely changed color of his spiritual space, they all proved that Nangong Zhe was at a disadvantage.
However, Nangong Zhe had a gentle smile on his face, as if everything was not that bad.
"Indeed, you are very powerful. You've used your power to completely control my physical body and spiritual space. " Nangong Zhe raised his head and looked at the ferocious face of his inner demon.
"Everything you've said, everything you've done, is known to me. These were all things I didn't want to talk about, because once the truth was revealed, I wouldn't say it out loud. Then everything I love and cherish will cease to exist. "
"Even though the one outside is an illusion of my sister, Mashiro, and Little Linger, I'm not sure if it's real or not. But their emotions, their memories, and their thoughts are all girls that I love and cherish. "
"It's you who made me see the price I have to pay after revealing the truth."
"You must have felt my mixed feelings of anger, sadness, and powerlessness at that time, right? But these feelings are not because of those three girls, but because of my anger, sadness, and powerlessness! "
"It's because I'm not strong enough! It's because I let you take control of my body! It's all because I'm too weak! "
When the inner demon heard Nangong Zhe's words and realized that his original body was blaming himself, the expression on his face was extremely rich.
He was the one who did all these things. His original body's sadness, anger, and powerlessness were the most exquisite medals that should belong to him. But now, his original body was telling him that these did not belong to him?
What a joke!
"Ah, it's indeed your fault. You cared about these meaningless things. You gave Little Linger tolerance, gave Mashiro forgiveness, and gave Nangong Rou love. These things have made you so weak. These things made you fall into your current situation!
Where's the viciousness you had when you killed people?
Where's the wit you had when you and those ninjas schemed against each other?
Where's the aura you had when you were called 'Yama'?
Just because of these three women, you've become so weak. You became a weak existence that only knows how to blame yourself and feel sorry for yourself. Since you can't be Yama, you're not worthy of this Heaven's Calamity Sword. Why don't you let me replace you and become the 'Yama' that should have made everyone tremble! "
Nangong Zhe had not yet become agitated, but the inner demon was already speaking more and more passionately.
"You're right. I don't have the viciousness I had in the past. I don't have the mood to scheme against each other, and I don't have the aura to directly take the lives of those who stand in my way. But … did this really make me weaker?
No, no, no, it's the opposite. I feel that after I threw away these things, I've truly become who I should be.
After I took in Little Linger, I gained innocence.
After I forgave Mashiro, I gained freedom.
When I saw Rourou as my family, I gained the meaning of life.
These things were never meaningless trash. To me, these are the meaning of my battle. "
The more Nangong Zhe spoke, the more resolute his heart became.
What was an inner demon? It was a hole in one's heart. Everyone would more or less have an inner demon. It was just that Nangong Zhe's inner demon, for unknown reasons, suddenly escaped from Nangong Zhe's control. The inner demon also knew that it had to directly cause its original body to collapse in order to truly become an independent entity.
This was why it repeatedly challenged Nangong Zhe's bottom line in these two trials.
But now, Nangong Zhe seemed to have seen through its confusion and actually began to slowly gain control of the spiritual space.
"Ah! Ah!! Ah!!! You're just one of my prisoners now. What's the point of saying so many righteous words? I'll let you have a good look at my power! "
The inner demon's agitation also caused a change in the spiritual space. The sky and the surrounding areas covered in blood and black began to emit a black and red light.
The magma pools on the ground also began to boil.
It pulled out the Calamity Sword in its hand, as if it wanted to slash at Nangong Zhe.
Nangong Zhe raised his head and looked at the Inner Demon in front of him, who had already gone mad and turned into a demon.
Its eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule, as if it was looking at its disobedient poodle.
"Whose sword do you think you're holding in your hand?!"
