His head tilted to the side.
He seemed to have lost consciousness. When he saw that it was Lang Ying,
Xie Lian subconsciously wanted to save her, but he quickly stopped in his tracks and reacted. Just now, there was clearly only Bai WuXiang here. How did Lang Ying suddenly appear?
Seeing that the originally pure and holy Crown Prince Yue Shen Statue had been tarnished by the pattering of blood, Hua Cheng was clearly very angry.
His face was filled with anger.
The scimitar Misfortune in his hand overflowed with cold air.
He said word by word, "Get down here."
The tilted head of 'Lang Ying' finally came back.
He opened his eyes and slowly 'pulled' himself off the sword.
He landed on the ground.
Just now,
After he shattered the wave of silver butterflies that surrounded him, he took advantage of the flashing silver light.
He hid under the white gauze of the statue.
He turned into Lang Ying's appearance.
Since he could turn into Lang Ying's appearance, then he must have seen Lang Ying somewhere. Xie Lian asked, "Where's the real Lang Ying?"
Hua Cheng said, "Maybe,
There's no such thing as the 'real Lang Ying'. "
If, from the beginning,
"Lang Ying" didn't exist, it was just that Bai WuXiang hadn't fully recovered.
Then things would be easy to explain. However,
Xie Lian thought of Miss Little Ying who had died on Mount Yu Jun. He would rather this theory not work. He quickly thought of another possibility and slowly said, "Or maybe … … he ate Lang Ying."
The body of "Lang Ying" in front of him was gradually growing longer and taller.
The bandages on his face slowly fell off, revealing the sad and happy face inside. Hearing this, he slightly raised his head and seemed to be smiling. "You guessed right."
As expected.
After Bai WuXiang was scattered by Jun Wu, he left behind a remnant soul to wander the world. It was unknown how long he had drifted, but it was also unknown when he found Lang Ying, who was also a ghost.
He must have used some method to bewitch or deceive Lang Ying, making her agree to let him live in her body. Otherwise, with his remnant weak soul, he might not have been able to swallow Lang Ying.
And after he stuck to Lang Ying's body, he slowly recovered. The final result was what Xie Lian and Hua Cheng saw. Ghost ate ghost, and Bai WuXiang instead ate Lang Ying, his host. Just like He Xuan ate the true immortal, Lang Ying became his vassal.
Before long, "Lang Ying" had completely transformed into Bai WuXiang's appearance. Hua Cheng stared at him and asked, "Why did Lang Ying agree to let you borrow his spiritual body?"
It should be noted that this kind of thing was similar to a stranger asking to "open your door and let me in to eat and sleep with you." In any case, Lang Ying was a ghost that had lived for hundreds of years. Although she was timid, she was not stupid to this extent. Bai WuXiang said gently, "Of course I can answer you. However, are you sure that the person beside you wants me to say it here? "
Hua Cheng looked to the side. Xie Lian's expression was slightly strange. He actually didn't notice his gaze at all. Bai WuXiang continued, "Surnamed Lang, Yong 'an, human face plague. Why did you agree to let me eat him? Don't tell me you still don't understand why? "
In a split second, Xie Lian's face paled. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he slashed out with his sword, shouting, "Shut up!"
Bai WuXiang dodged to the side. 'Dang!' That sword actually broke the long sword held in the hand of his own idol.
Now, the Crown Prince's idol, the Crown Prince's sword became a broken sword, and the idol also became a damaged artifact. Xie Lian immediately came back to his senses. It was as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. The Dead Spirit Butterflies seemed to be infuriated and swarmed over. Bai WuXiang let out a string of lukewarm laughter and calmly covered his face with his sleeves. He no longer bothered them and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Xie Lian looked at the broken stone sword on the ground and subconsciously said to Hua Cheng, "I'm sorry … …"
Hua Cheng interrupted him, "Isn't it funny that His Highness is apologizing to me? So what if he leaves? "
Xie Lian calmed down a bit and said, "Did he escape? We can't let him enter the copper furnace! "
The two chased out of Wanshen Cave and climbed up the snowy mountain again. Just as they poked their heads out, they felt the earth shake. Looking up, they saw an avalanche that was even worse than before. It was as if something buried under the snow had awakened and was roaring in anger, wanting to shake off the thousand years of snow on its body. Xie Lian said, "Can we still go up?!"
Hua Cheng tightly grabbed Xie Lian's hand and said, "Just follow me!"
The two of them went against the avalanche of ice and snow. Although it was extremely difficult and dangerous, they had to take three steps back for every step they took. However, they still managed to avoid the most violent avalanche and the countless pits in the ground.
Finally, they climbed to the highest point. Xie Lian didn't know how many layers of ice there were at the top of the mountain. Xie Lian felt that if he walked a bit faster, he would slip. However, Hua Cheng held his hand and steadily walked, completely fearless. The two of them arrived at the mouth of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain was like a giant mouth that roared towards the sky. It was very spectacular. Looking down, it was pitch-black. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the deepest part of the mountain emitted a frightening red light. Xie Lian inexplicably felt his heart palpitate. He pressed down on the bamboo hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and snow. He said, "Has he already gone in?"
Hua Cheng only took a glance before his expression froze. He said, "He's already gone in."
"Why do you say so?"
"The copper furnace is currently closing."
Xie Lian was shocked and caught unprepared. "What's going on? It's closing so quickly? Aren't there supposed to be a few ghosts inside to start killing each other? "
Hua Cheng said, "That's under normal circumstances. However, if the copper furnace believes that the person who enters has great potential to break through, and that ghost asks it to seal the mountain, then it will also seal the mountain. "After pausing for a moment, he continued," That's what I did back then. "
Xie Lian said, "Is he really dead or not? If a Ghost King that has already died, what will happen if he enters the copper furnace again? "
Hua Cheng said, "It's the same as a Heavenly Priest who has already ascended and wants to experience the heavenly tribulation again."
In other words, the strong will become even stronger!
If Bai WuXiang was allowed to break through this barrier, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And once he broke through the copper furnace and left the mountain, the first person he would look for would definitely be Xie Lian!
Xie Lian stared at the bottomless abyss for a long time before he slowly said, "San Lang, I … … might have to go down and settle things."
Hua Cheng calmly said, "Go down. I'll accompany you. "
Xie Lian raised his head to look at him. Hua Cheng also raised his head and met his gaze. Raising an eyebrow, he smiled and said, "It's nothing more than going down to kill someone who's in the way and breaking through the copper furnace again. It doesn't seem to be anything difficult. "
Seeing him so relaxed, Xie Lian's originally tense mood couldn't help but relax a little. He smiled slightly. Then, Hua Cheng said, "However, there's one thing."
Xie Lian, "?"
He slightly tilted his head, and Hua Cheng suddenly wrapped one hand around his waist and pulled him into his embrace. His other hand gently lifted his chin and kissed his lips.
In the wind and snow, they kissed for a long time before their lips slowly separated. Xie Lian was stunned for a long time. Finally, he quivered and woke up. His face flushed red, he opened his eyes and said, "… … Why, why so sudden?!"
Although it wasn't the first time they had done this kind of thing, they had previously used such high-sounding excuses as' borrowing mana ',' transferring Qi ',' being careless', and so on. But now that some things had been brought up, these excuses had been exposed for their hypocrisy. The significance of this matter was no small matter. He simply didn't know where to put his hand. Should he grab Hua Cheng's arm, or push Hua Cheng's chest, or cover Hua Cheng's face?
Hua Cheng seemed to be slightly panting beside his ear. He said in a low voice, "… … I, will first, lend some mana to Your Highness in case you need it … … Will you accept it?"
Xie Lian unconsciously gulped and stammered, "This, this is just a little, it seems too much … … I haven't paid back the previous debt … …"
Hua Cheng said, "Not much. Don't worry. You can slowly pay it back when you have time. It will be paid back eventually. "
Xie Lian randomly grunted a few times. Just as he was about to flee, Hua Cheng pulled him back again and reminded him, "Your Highness! Where are you running to? The direction is wrong. "
Only then did Xie Lian realize that he was actually running back. He immediately walked back, but his feet slipped on the ice. He hurriedly pressed down on the bamboo hat and said, "No, no. I, I'm just a little cold. I want to turn a few rounds to warm up … … "
He put on the bamboo hat again and again. Finally, he grabbed Hua Cheng's hand and held it tightly. The two of them stood side by side and looked down at the huge abyss below.
Hua Cheng said in a casual tone, "After we're done, I'll show my brother the statue of God that I'm most satisfied with."
Xie Lian said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, the two of them jumped down together.
The howling wind blew past their ears and the powerful impact was like a huge wave hitting their faces. However, the two of them didn't let go of each other's hands. Instead, they held each other even tighter.
Who knew that in midair, Xie Lian's hand would suddenly grab empty air.
It wasn't that his hand slipped or that Hua Cheng shook it off. Instead, the hand that was holding his palm suddenly disappeared. It didn't have a physical body.
Xie Lian's heart tightened and he shouted, "San Lang?!"
He was currently falling at high speed. He had just shouted a moment ago, but in the next moment, that voice was over a dozen feet above his head. It sounded unreal. After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lian finally landed steadily. He immediately stood up and said, "San Lang?"
No one answered. Only the echoes of emptiness told him that at this moment, he was in a vast and spacious space.
All around him was pitch-black darkness. Only above him could be seen. Xie Lian looked up. Above him, there was a snow-white curtain of the sky that was gradually shrinking. That was the mouth of the volcano of the copper furnace. It was slowly closing up.
However, where did Hua Cheng go?
With a boom, Xie Lian held up a flame in his palm. He wanted to see what the situation below was like. However, the darkness was unfathomable. This flame couldn't illuminate anything at all. It was as if the flame was indifferently absorbed by the darkness. Furthermore, he wasn't careful and didn't control his mana well. The flame was too strong, almost burning his hair. He hurriedly threw the flame to one side. Coincidentally, the flame just happened to reflect a faint white silhouette not too far away. Xie Lian immediately became extremely vigilant and said, "Who is it?!"
That white silhouette turned around and answered in a calm voice, "You know who I am."
Although he answered, the muscles on that person's face didn't move in the slightest.
That was because that wasn't a human face at all. Rather, it was a half-crying, half-smiling mask.
Xie Lian blurted out, "San Lang!"
As soon as he saw that face, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end and a chill run down his spine. However, he wasn't shouting because he was scared, but because he was worried. Naturally, there was still no response. That sad and happy face moved closer to him and said, "There's no need to shout. The copper furnace has already been sealed. There's only you and me here. There's no third person. "
Xie Lian subconsciously looked up at the sky again.
Before, there was still a small piece of the snow-white curtain of the sky. But now, that small piece of light had been completely swallowed by the surrounding darkness.
This also meant that the copper furnace had truly been sealed off.
Xie Lian never expected that the current situation would turn out like this.
He and Bai WuXiang, the two of them, were locked inside the copper furnace?
The two of them? Why was it the two of them?!
Xie Lian gripped Maiden Heart in his hand and pointed his sword at that white silhouette. He said, "What the hell is going on? Is this your doing again? Where is he? Where is he now? "
Bai WuXiang used one hand to clamp the blade of Maiden Heart's sword with two fingers. His other hand flicked the edge of the sword. With a crisp 'dang', he said, "Gone."
Xie Lian saw this action and his gaze turned slightly cold. His joints crackled as he said, "… … Speak clearly. What do you mean by gone?"
Bai WuXiang unhurriedly said, "I don't want to follow you anymore. Gone. Dead. Choose one. "
"… …"
Xie Lian's heart went cold at first. Then, a wave of rage surged up and he slashed out with his sword. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Bai WuXiang once again easily caught the blade. He said, "Fine, fine. I was indeed talking nonsense. Don't worry, he's already been sent outside the copper furnace. Even if he rushed over now, he wouldn't make it in time. "
Xie Lian wasn't afraid of not being able to make it in time. As long as Hua Cheng was fine, everything was fine. He secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Bai WuXiang continued, "However, it's better if he doesn't come in. Otherwise, even if he doesn't have that idea now, once he sees you later, it's hard to say if he'll still want to follow you. "
"… …"
Xie Lian couldn't bear it any longer. He slashed out again and shouted, "Shut up!"
Bai WuXiang calmly dodged every one of his attacks. Xie Lian angrily said, "I've had enough of you. What do you want! What do you want?! How long do you want to pester me!!! Why haven't you died yet? Why did you come to the copper furnace! "
Bai WuXiang said, "Because of you!"
Xie Lian's movements paused for a moment. He gasped for breath and said, "What do you mean?"
Bai WuXiang calmly replied, "Because you came, so I also came."
Hearing this answer, Xie Lian's face somewhat distorted.
However, no matter how angry he was, no matter how heavy his killing intent was, Bai WuXiang always seemed to be able to predict what his next attack would be, dodging it by a hair's breadth. The more Xie Lian used his sword, the more he understood a cruel fact.
He couldn't win!
"Yes." As if he could see through his heart, Bai WuXiang said, "You can't win."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand chopped down on Xie Lian's wrist. A wave of pain spread through his entire body. Xie Lian couldn't help but let go of his sword. Then, Bai WuXiang grabbed his hair and ruthlessly smashed him into the ground!
His ears buzzed, his nose and mouth reeked of blood, and his brain shook without end.
After a while, Xie Lian felt a hand lift his head from the broken ground. A voice said from above, "Pitiful, pitiful."
Xie Lian choked out a mouthful of blood. His vision was blurred by the blood and darkness. Bai WuXiang said, "Every time I see Your Highness, Crown Prince, you're always like this. It makes my heart ache, but it also makes me happy. "
Xie Lian bit down on the blood in his mouth, not letting it come out. In a hoarse voice, he said, "… … Don't be too pleased with yourself. Right now, I can't win against you, but … … there's someone who can. Even if you can leave the copper furnace, it's not necessarily impossible for Junwu to kill you again. "
Moreover, there was still Flower City!
Unexpectedly, Bai WuXiang said, "Who said the one who came out of the copper furnace would be me?"
Hearing this, Xie Lian froze.
It wasn't him? If it wasn't him, then who could it be?
Bai WuXiang lifted his face and looked him in the eye. In a warm voice, he said, "Your Highness, I think, you might have misunderstood. In this copper furnace, there will indeed be someone who will leave. However, it won't be me. It will be you. "
Xie Lian was extremely shocked. "… … What did you say? I'm not … … "
Before he could finish speaking, he came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
Bai WuXiang said, "Precisely so. Congratulations, you've finally understood my true goal. Isn't this the 'third option' that you like the most? "
Right now, inside the copper furnace, there was only a ghost and a Heavenly Official. From the looks of it, there were only two options. Either Bai WuXiang killed him and then broke out of the copper furnace, or the two of them couldn't even think about leaving and would be locked inside the copper furnace forever.
However, in reality, there was still a third option.
As long as Xie Lian immediately committed suicide here, transforming into a ghost and killing Bai WuXiang, he could immediately become a Jue and break out of the copper furnace!
With great difficulty, Xie Lian recovered from his shock and said, "… … In the end, what do you want to do? You don't need to think about it! Why do you want to do this?! Just to make me become a Jue?! I'm not as crazy as you! Even if you want me to kill you, I can't win against you! If you deliberately lose to me, the copper furnace may not admit it! "
Bai WuXiang said, "Is that so? You can't win against me? That's not necessarily true. "
As he said this, he stretched out his other hand. With the light of the fire not far away, Xie Lian could clearly see that a mask had appeared in that hand. It was exactly the same as the one on Bai WuXiang's face.
Bai WuXiang said, "Remember this Joy and Sorrow Mask? It suits you very well. "
Xie Lian's eyes widened.
Like a tide of insects, fear crawled up his heart. He forced himself to say, "… … Take it away, take it away … … Take it away!"
Bai WuXiang laughed and said, "It seems that Your Highness' memory isn't too good. Since that's the case, let me help you think, okay? "
