Li Yijie felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. He thought to himself, "Soon I'll leave her forever. In the future she'll hate me and resent me. Can't I even give her the last bit of warmth? Not only her, won't I also regret it for the rest of my life? "He hurriedly said," Don't be sad, I said the wrong thing. But in three months I'll have a life and death battle with the Seven Demons. Before that, I have to train with all my might. Other people say that we're fated enemies. On the surface I'll just laugh it off. But I can honestly tell you that I don't have the slightest confidence in defeating him. If this goes on, I'll definitely lose. I need a quiet environment where I can train without any distractions. It's not that you'll disturb me, but … but my will isn't strong enough. When I see you, I can't concentrate. You don't want me to lose control, right? If I can defeat him, we'll still have a long way to go in the future. Why are you in such a hurry? I heard there's a saying that goes, 'If two people love each other for a long time, why stay together all the time?' Don't tell me you don't have confidence in me? Or perhaps … you don't have confidence in our feelings? "
He thought that Nangong Xue would immediately surrender when he put the blame on her, so he turned around and started to pack his luggage to avoid the awkwardness of facing her face to face. Nangong Xue, on the other hand, regained her demeanor as the Heroine of Nangong. She pondered and said, "To practice martial arts, especially the profound internal energy, one must first establish a solid foundation. Only after years of perseverance and gradual improvement can one achieve a small success. Even if you train day and night, how much progress can you make in just three short months? "Li Yijie sighed and said," It's not like there aren't any martial arts that can be achieved quickly. "
Nangong Xue suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Could it be … reversing the acupoints and opening up all the meridians in the body …? Evil martial arts like the 'Great Demonic Art' can indeed progress at lightning speed. But at the same time, it consumes blood and qi and destroys energy. The deeper the realm, the stronger the backlash. It's harmful to the body. Could it be that you want to practice that kind of martial arts? "Li Yijie's body trembled and his mind suddenly went blank.
This matter had to be explained within these three days. After Nangong Xue talked to him, the impact on him was not small. All day long he sat alone in front of the table, with his forehead against the window frame, thinking over and over again. Strangely enough, his inclination towards that path of no return increased by a bit. Only his last bit of conscience as a disciple of the Righteous Path was still restraining him. Perhaps he had already made a decision in his heart, but he was unwilling to face it. He would rather pretend to be deaf and dumb. This thought gave him a fright.
Just as she was at a loss of what to do, she suddenly heard a voice by her ear, "Are you afraid?" When Li Yijie heard this voice, she was really startled. He didn't know why his vigilance had deteriorated to this point. If it was an enemy, there was no need for him to open his mouth and attack directly. He was afraid that in his panic, he wouldn't even know how to dodge.
He turned his head and saw a young man dressed in brocade robes walk in. He casually sat down on a chair and crossed his legs in a dignified manner. It was the Xuan Shuang of the Little Devil who wished for the world to be in chaos. If there was one person who was so suitable for the Devil Cult, it would be this young man who acted with a somewhat evil aura. She angrily said, "Why didn't you knock before coming in? No manners!"
The Xuan Shuang coldly laughed and said, "Rather than blaming me, you should blame yourself for not being vigilant at all. Even if someone came to your door, you didn't notice. Before the enemy makes his move, he won't be so kind as to inform you. Facing the Seven Malevolent Demons in this state, before you can make your move, your head will be separated from your body. Humph, your mind is in such a trance, you really are afraid. I say, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of losing and damaging your reputation, or are you afraid of dying? "
This sentence hit the nail on the head, Li Yijie's heart; immediately his face was full of shame. He still stubbornly said, "It has nothing to do with you." The Xuan Shuang's fingertips lightly tapped the table and said, "But if you are afraid, I can use my chivalrous heart to help you. You can let me deal with him. I once swore that I would kill him with my own hands, otherwise … I would be a man in vain! "
When Li Yijie heard his resolute words and saw that a child's eyes could burn with such a fierce light, he didn't know whether he should sigh or not. He said, "You also dislike him?" Dislike him to the extent that he became his disciple, followed him for a year, and did evil everywhere? These were words that he suppressed in the bottom of his heart, but in the end, he didn't say it out loud. Perhaps he also wanted to give him a chance to explain.
The Xuan Shuang raised his hand and fiercely slammed the table. "Pa!" A crisp sound rang out, and cracks spread in all directions. He angrily said, "Do you need to ask the obvious? I — of course I hate him! If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't have become like this! Perhaps I could have grown up happily, perhaps my parents could have been loving, perhaps I could have been a normal child, perhaps I could have been a brother who was going to be the crown prince! But now? Everything is ruined by his hands! I am destined to be abandoned by the world, destined to live with revenge as my only hope. If I don't hate him, then who should I hate? "
His anger didn't arouse Li Yijie's righteous indignation. Perhaps because of the child's identity, he wanted to suppress his innate arrogance. He laughed and said, "Is that so? If you think about it from another perspective, if he didn't destroy Shadowless Mountain Villa, your mother wouldn't be obsessed with revenge, she wouldn't have married your father, and you wouldn't have been born. Not to mention being a normal child, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be a living child! "
The Xuan Shuang rolled his eyes, then laughed three times and said, "That's right, so he also created me, right? Not only should I not hate him, but I should also respect him as the creator of the world, offer him three sticks of incense, and worship him all day long? "
As he laughed, his eyes faintly reddened. He said, "It's precisely because of this absurd logic that such deep fetters are created. It's simply enough to drive people crazy. I'm really a useless piece of trash. Usually, I hate him a thousand times and want to cut him into pieces, but when I see him in person, my heart will always soften. I hate myself for being like this! I'm not a hypocrite like you. What kind of person are you? I … I'm not a f * cking soft-hearted person! "
He casually went to the table to get some wine, but he grabbed nothing. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Actually, he's a person, how should I put it … Whether it's his temper, character, thoughts, or the way he handles things, he's very similar to me. That's right, I admit that my way of thinking is strange. Usually, no one can understand me. Only when I talk to him can I truly feel like I've met a 'kindred spirit'. If he has any troubles, only I can truly understand him. We have many other ideas, but miraculously, we can coincide with each other. Isn't it funny to have such deep feelings with the enemy? When I see him, it's as if I see my future self. I know that if I'm like him, I'll definitely suffer retribution for my evil deeds, and I … will also suffer the same fate. But even so, I still don't regret it. "
Li Yijie sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this? In the eyes of Wulin people, no matter if you're seeking revenge or not, no matter if he's a heinous person or not, killing one's own master is a heinous crime. For the sake of revenge, you're willing to put yourself in a situation where you'll go down in history for ten thousand years? "
Xuan Shuang bit his lip and said, "Have you ever tried to hate someone with all your heart? Using your entire soul to hate him, just to send him to the end of the road, not hesitating to destroy both jade and common stone, not hesitating to destroy your own soul? "
Li Yijie heard him speak so resolutely. He had been in the Wulin world for many years, and had never met anyone who could do this. He really didn't know whether to admire or feel pity. He said, "You're still young. Don't be overly obsessed with hatred and waste your good life. Hmm … you've been with him for a year. Do you understand the essence of the Devil Sect's internal energy? "
In the past, Mount Hua was divided into the 'Sword School' and the 'Qi School'. The Sword School focused on swordsmanship and internal energy as support, while the Qi School focused on cultivating internal energy first. No matter what kind of swordsmanship was used, it would be twice the result with half the effort. The conflict between the two schools became more and more intense, and in the end, they came to blows.
In the bloody battle at the peak of Mount Hua, there were many casualties, but in the end, the Qi School defeated the Sword School. Because of this, Li Yijie had been taught by his master since he was a child. He also knew the Ten Thousand Schools of Martial Arts, and focused on cultivating energy. Now that he wanted to fight to the death with Jiang Liechen, the first thing he wanted to do was to cultivate his internal energy. He raised a few difficult points in the secret manual and asked him to examine them.
Xuan Shuang casually explained, obviously not interested in these simple questions. He said, "I've never practiced the Sacrifice Shadow Sect's internal energy. I heard that he was the former Hierarch … hmm, if we're talking about seniority, he should be my … "
He counted with his fingers and said, "He's the third son of Prince Heshuo Zhuang, Emperor Taizong's cousin. That's also my uncle. He said that the Sacrifice Shadow Sect's internal energy was created by himself, but in reality, it was comprehended from an incomplete copy of the Seven Fiends Manual that he found by chance. He modified it, and after spending a lot of effort, the final product was much more perfect than before. It's a pity that the copy he found was a fake. Perhaps the creator did have some real martial arts, but what he recorded was like drawing a tiger or a dog, or buying the casket and returning the pearl. He only learned a small part of the normal martial arts and lost most of it, but he didn't learn anything about the profound mysteries. Actually, with the former Hierarch's ability, he should have realized something, but he was completely immersed in joy and didn't think deeply about it: the Seven Fiends Manual is a treasure passed down from the ancient times. If it could be so easily surpassed by him, wouldn't it make the previous immortals look too weak? Later on, my master … he, usurped the Cult's throne, and used the difference between the real and fake Seven Fiends Manual. Even though he only practiced it for a few months, he was able to surpass the former Hierarch's years of practice … "
Only now did he realize Li Yijie's intention. He smiled bitterly and said, "I advise you not to be delusional. You think that just because you've learned the Sacrifice Shadow Sect's martial arts, you'll have the upper hand? The Seven Fiends Manual alone is already so unsurpassable. Now that he's officially a demon, what he's using is not the internal energy that you've painstakingly cultivated, but the power of a demon. The difference between a human and a demon is an essential difference. Your trick won't work at all. "
Li Yijie was displeased, "You've all tried your best to draw a clear distinction between a human and a demon. I don't believe it. In the end, how big of a difference can there be between the two? I still believe that man can conquer the heavens. As long as you put in enough effort, there's nothing you can't do. "
Xuan Shuang put his hand to his forehead and said, "This … how do you want me to explain it to you so that you can understand? All right, I'll give you a very simple example. Say, if a mosquito and a fly fight for three hundred rounds, which side will have a higher chance of winning? If you let two crickets fight, one is bigger and the other is smaller, which side do you think will win? "
