Xuan Shuang waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Do you think I don't understand? Hmph, you like to be other people's master so much! "
Laughing and joking, he continued, "You only see the surface, but you never analyze the essence. Sigh, how can a perfectly fine Alliance Master be so unscrupulous? Although mosquitoes and flies are not of the same species, they are similar in size. It's like a few hooligans fighting and killing, it's hard to predict who will win. Although two crickets are different in size, they are of the same species. If one of them works harder, it's not impossible for them to surpass the other. But let's change the situation. What if it's a cricket against a wolfhound? Against a person? Even if it's an invincible cricket, it can't beat a child lying on a sickbed. You don't have any objections, right? That's because no matter how hard a cricket tries, it's still a cricket. Its ability is limited, and it can never break through. As a human, it's easy to surpass a cricket's limit. Therefore, in your eyes, the battle between a human and a cricket is beneath contempt. The difference between a human and a devil is like this. It's just that the weight of a human is slightly reversed. Now you know, a devil is a devil. Mortals can never surpass it. No matter how hard you try, it's useless. You can't possibly be its opponent. "
When Li Yijie heard his words, a strong sense of injustice rose in his heart. He said, "If a human is destined to be unable to defeat a devil, why do you want me to give you the opportunity to fight? Do you have a way? "
Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "I explained to you just now. If you want to defeat a creature of a different species, there are only two ways. The first is to become its kind. The second is to cultivate harder and join a stronger species. The highest level is naturally God. But if a mortal wants to become a God, it's simply a dream. Even if you cultivate first, who knows how many hundreds of years it will take. You also need to have good luck, cultivate to a certain stage, and pass several major heavenly tribulations before you can ascend and become an immortal. After thousands of years, whether or not you can become a God is still unknown. Maybe you can live as long as him, but by that time, I'm afraid the earth will have been trampled into a wasteland by him. Therefore, the first path is completely unworkable … "
Li Yijie's heart trembled. She suddenly guessed what he would say next. Sure enough, Xuan Shuang said, "There are two fastest ways for a mortal to become a demon. The first method was to destroy his physical form and at the same time, bring offerings to him. After being tempered by the heavenly fire, his physical body would be reconstructed. From then on, he would be reborn and become a demonic creature. However, while this was easy to say, it was not easy to actually do it. If his obsession wasn't strong enough and he couldn't leave behind his soul, he could only die in the Heavenly Fire. Besides, even if they met the conditions, it wouldn't work. Mauna Loa had just erupted last month, and there wouldn't be a second eruption in the near future. You don't have the most poisonous Seven Evils Severing Love, so it's hard for you to obtain enough evil Qi to surround your entire body. You probably don't know, but the Severing Love can corrode the flesh and bones, but its toxicity can also become a kind of protective membrane, preventing the soul from dispersing and dying. The second method was to let the demon's blood flow directly into the body, to the Demonic Blood Cave in the northwest snowy mountain. Then, using internal energy to open up the Fengchi, Qimen, Taiyuan, and Yongquan acupoints, all the blood in the body will be discharged from each acupoint. When the blood is about to run dry, the demon will jump into the blood pool and soak in it, using internal energy to absorb the blood and nourish the body. When the transformation is complete and the fusion is complete, a mortal can also have the power of a demon. However, the demons formed this way are usually the lowest level of demons. They don't have any self-awareness, only the instinct to kill. Usually, they can only be the slaves of real demons. This is what I learned when I followed him in the past. Originally, I thought that the talk of becoming a demon was complete nonsense, so I didn't take it to heart. However, since he can become a demon, perhaps these legends have some basis. Ay, if you force me again, maybe one day I will … "
Hearing this, Li Yijie was greatly alarmed. He suddenly jumped up from the bed and said, "No, you're still young. Once you become a demon, your life will be ruined. Why don't you think about it? If you act impulsively, your loved ones, those who care about you, those who love you, will suffer … "
Xuan Shuang coldly said, "Alliance Head Li, please don't talk to yourself, okay? When did I say that I want to become a demon? Since you know how to persuade me, why don't you think about yourself first? If the reason you speak of is completely opposite to your own actions, it means that even you don't believe it. Since that's the case, why should you try to persuade others? Also, right now I don't have any loved ones. I'm just a pitiful worm who has no one to love. You don't need to preach to me with those words. "
Li Yijie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, but why are you telling me this?" But what's the point of telling me all this? "Xuan Shuang said," Since I can't become a demon myself, I have to find some scapegoats. That's right, if we can't defeat one, we'll make a hundred of them and tire him to death. In order to prevent these newborn demons from harming others, before they take shape, we'll give each of them a bottle of time-limited poison. Once they're defeated, they'll die. That way, they won't leave behind any trash in the world. "
Li Yijie heard him speak as if it was a matter of course, but he had a lot of misgivings. He said, "Everything's fine, how can I let others become scapegoats? This … this isn't … "
Xuan Shuang impatiently said, "It's against the chivalrous path's duty, isn't it? Speaking of your chivalrous path, it's really annoying. You can't do this, you can't do that. But let me tell you, this isn't a matter of voluntary sacrifice. Once the Seven Demons take over the Central Plains, everyone will die, and their deaths will be meaningless. But if my method succeeds, then at least their deaths will have some meaning. Sacrificing small profits to achieve great benefits, this should be in line with your chivalrous path's duty, right? "
Li Yijie thought what he said made some sense, but how could he explain this matter to everyone? He hesitated. "This … let me think about it." Xuan Shuang said, "Alright, you can tell me when the time comes. There's not much time left, hurry up. "
At this moment, his thoughts were like a kaleidoscope. One scene was a flash in the pan, and then it changed to another. In the middle of the devastated battlefield, Jiang Liechen's proud and aloof figure stood not far in front of him. He coldly said, "Three months, I'll give you three months. For the sake of fairness, during these three months, you can practice martial arts as hard as you can. I won't look for trouble with you or your relatives. But after three months, you'll have to make me happy! "
The hint in his last sentence couldn't be more obvious. After he became a demon, he wanted to have a showdown with him so that he could feel the satisfaction of meeting his match in martial arts. If he was a mortal, he wouldn't even bother to kill him.
After a few days of hesitation and a few days of discussion, the balance of the swaying balance immediately fell heavily after adding in the chips of morality, conscience, and responsibility. Thus, the situation in the future was decided. No matter how much he struggled or retreated, this was a path that couldn't be avoided. Perhaps to some people, they were born unable to live for themselves. After he made up his mind, the stone in his heart finally fell.
Light and shadow intertwined, and the scene returned to the familiar room in front of him. He saw Nangong Xue's anxious face. He could only pretend to be relaxed and smile. He held Nangong Xue's shoulders and said, "How could that be? You're thinking too much. We and the Devil Sect are mortal enemies. Our Martial Union's crusade this time is against the demons that the Devil Sect can't kill. Why would we learn their martial arts? Xueer, don't worry about me. "
Nangong Xue was so anxious that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She said, "But … how can I not worry when you're like this? Also … what did you mean when you said those strange things in the hall? Perhaps others didn't realize it, but you and I are childhood friends. You can't hide anything from me. You've never been an alarmist. Unless you really want to do something, you won't say such things. Sigh, you're probably going to blame me for worrying too much. But your expression, the tone of your voice, and the meaning behind your words … it gave me the feeling that you were making your last arrangements! I don't know what you want to do, but then you said that if the sky falls, you'll hold it up alone … "
Li Yijie sighed inwardly at his junior sister's observation. Fortunately, he had a good excuse. He said, "My concern makes me confused. Think about it. With my martial arts, I'm not even qualified to die together with the Seven Demons. What else is there for me to sacrifice myself for? I promise you that I'll come back alive, okay? Xueer, my heart is already in a mess. Don't add to my worries, okay? Just stay here and wait for me to come back. I'll definitely do what I promised everyone. Don't tell me that you think I'll run away at the last minute? "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "No, that's not the reason. It's just that I suddenly have an ominous premonition. It's as if once you take this step, you'll be separated from business forever. As long as you leave, you'll never look back. I'll lose you forever … Besides, you know how urgent the situation is right now. If the Seven Demons take advantage of your absence and come looking for trouble with Martial Union, then we … what should we do? " She had never been willing to ask for help, but in order to make her senior brother stay, she had no choice but to use this move.
Li Yijie said, "You don't have to worry about this. Within three months, he promised not to come looking for trouble with us anymore. Whether it's good or evil, human or demon, as long as he has some reputation, he can't go back on his word. "
Nangong Xue frowned. She was a sensitive person and had already sensed some clues. She said, "You keep talking about three months. What happened? Did you make some kind of deal with him behind my back? "
Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "You can say that. I promised him that after three months, we'll fight to the death. Don't worry, this battle will come sooner or later. We won't be at a disadvantage. He also promised to let me focus on my cultivation during this period of time. He won't come looking for trouble again. " He wished he could worship all the gods he knew of. Nangong Xue was not as easy to fool as he thought. (Perhaps it was because he hadn't worshipped a god yet) She asked coldly, "What's the condition?"
Li Yijie said, "The condition is … he said that after three months, we'll make him happy."
Nangong Xue was also hesitant. She said, "How could he … suddenly become so easy to talk to? Is there some kind of conspiracy behind this? "Li Yijie thought," If this drags on, we won't be able to leave. We have to end this quickly. "His voice suddenly became colder. He said," Even if there is, there's nothing we can do. As the Wulin Alliance Leader, I don't have the right to choose my own life. I can't decide whether to do something based on my personal wishes. This is what you taught me. Do you still remember? "After saying that, he turned around and left.
Nangong Xue felt as if her heart had been ruthlessly crushed. She sobbed and said, "This … this kind of damn thing, it was actually me who said it? Senior Brother, I'm … I'm sorry … "This wasn't strange. Anyone who was lecturing others would be able to say it clearly and logically, but if it was someone who experienced it personally, they would immediately be at a loss.
