Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Iris Chapter 6 The Unwilling Past and the Irresistible Request
"It's over with a clean end."
Ling Yun held the knife in his left hand and launched an attack on Du Han in one move. This seemingly rash move was actually to test the opponent's strength. Ling Yun was not sure whether Du Han, who was controlled by the monster, still had the original combat skills. The latter's position seemed casual, but he was not indifferent to Ling Yun's attack.
Du Han simply used his sword to quickly block Ling Yun's attack, and he did not just resist. When the two blades were stalemate, Du Han's blade suddenly flashed with blood, and a violent and ferocious aura attacked towards him like a beast.
"It's actually a demon sword--!"
"Si—don't!"
Du Han took advantage of Ling Yun's rhythm to pull the blade down instantly and wanted to attack from below. Ling Yun was surprised and found that the pressure on the upper end of the blade had become lighter, so he reacted in time and quickly sank down the blade. However, Du Han grabbed this gap and suddenly pulled the knife back for a distance, and then slashed out in another direction.
Although the two are very close this time, the sharp blade cannot effectively attack to a deadly position. But you should know that even if there is a little injury in a real life-and-death battle, it is enough to determine the next victory or defeat.
"Demon Sword Extreme [Shura]"
Obviously, Du Han activated the demon sword of the weapon in his hand. With a knife, the bloody sword light slashed towards Lingyun with a big cross. The blade was sheathed and drew a beautiful arc. The blade was made of the silver-white texture of the cold metal, with
The sharp blade with sharp edges and ripples like sharp teeth, the inscription on the side: one knife, ten words, ten strikes, hundreds of shadows, hundreds of cuts, thousands of traces, and thousands of shadows.
The Demon Sword Extreme is the unique ability of each Demon Sword. Now, Ling Yun has been on the verge of danger. However, because Tian Congyun's Demon Sword Extremely overbearing, if used, it is very likely that Du Han will be injured, so Ling Yun has always chosen to endure it.
However, it is a time of crisis now, and he can no longer care about so much. He can only minimize the power of Tian Congyun to avoid hurting Du Han.
"The Demon Sword Extreme...[Divine Will Draw the Sword]"
Ling Yun subconsciously clung to his consciousness and seemed to merge himself with the demon sword. After a moment, he slashed out. The girl watching the battle looked brilliant, and she seemed to be very interested in Ling Yun's demon sword. However, next, there was no force enough to cut off and kill everything, and there was no gorgeous light. Ling Yun's sword was actually an ordinary sword.
"What!"
"clang--!"
Du Han lifted the knife and easily blocked it, and then the demon sword in his hand rushed towards Ling Yun with a solemn intention. This was the second [Shura]. This time, it was no longer an ordinary blood-colored cross. Ling Yun could feel that what came towards him was nearly a hundred sword lights slashing towards him.
"Oh...it's so stupid."
A crisp but helpless voice pulled Ling Yun out of his thoughts, but the blood-red cross-sword light was close at hand, and Ling Yun had nowhere to hide. He had no other choice, so he could only choose to bite the bullet and resist the attack in a defensive manner. However, Ling Yun knew very well that even if he did not die, he would be nowhere to die.
The flash of the knife light was different from the pain that Ling Yun expected, and there was no feeling of physical separation. Only a very strong impact force knocked Ling Yun away and fell backwards.
"It's mine to overestimate your strength, so let me leave it next."
The girl first walked to Ling Yun from behind step by step, and looked at Ling Yun lying on the ground with a slight blue light, and said helplessly. Then, regardless of Ling Yun's confusion, she walked between Ling Yun and Du Han.
"Hey! Be careful-"
Ling Yun Lingyun stood up and reminded loudly. Du Han did not stop because of the replacement. He quickly raised the knife and made a flat protrusion. His body's center of gravity sinks, his thumb and index finger spread out, and the back of the knife slowly stood on it. His footsteps slowly moved back, and then he instantly exerted force to push towards the ground, stabbing the sharp blade forward and shooting out the body.
The sharp edge of the knife flashed, and something seemed to be gathering at that point. The extreme chill and dangerous aura seemed to condense several stings in that attack. After he jumped into his body, he dragged countless afterimages.
However, facing this instant attack, the girl chose not to do any movement, regardless of the sharp blade that was approaching her. She still made an expression of fearlessness, staring at the tip without even blinking her eyes.
"Sher—"
It seemed as if the sound of his body being pierced, Ling Yun, who was lying behind, could see clearly. The tip of the knife passed through the girl's chest and half of it was revealed. He widened his pupils, and a strange feeling spread throughout his body, and his body seemed to be full of anger and murderous aura. However, before Ling Yun could rush towards the girl, the latter's body instantly broke and turned into countless stars.
"Life is the end, and life is the tour of accumulation of pain.
You are dominated by the spirit of the beast, and you are born from the bones of the beast.
Now, it is the time to use the technique of creation to punish your evil thoughts."
As the girl's body turned into "stars" and drifted, her voice slowly resounded between the corridors. The scattered stars seemed to be dancing one after another with her singing, each byte jumped out of different steps. While dancing, they advanced, surrounding Du Han in front of them.
Then they gathered into a little bit, all connected into a line, forming an aperture, as if they were automatically drawing some mysterious formation. During this period, Du Han, who was surrounded, tried to move, but the starlight became brighter, as if there was a strange magic that suppressed his movements, and he could not even wield the blade.
Under his feet were two apertures surrounded by stars. The ring formed by the double circles contained obscure spells, and a hexagram star used to lead the formation at the top. The center of the formation, which is the sole of Du Han's feet, was painted with a huge scorpion.
As the light flashed, all the patterns flowed like a rotating circle. After a crisp sound, the huge scorpion on the soles of the feet seemed to be alive and emerged from the ground. The thick cherous limbs and the tail that stood up like steel whips were numerous tiny burrs.
He twisted his body, and his two cervical limbs clamped Du Han's legs like pliers, and the sharp stings pierced towards his forehead. No blood flowed out, no painful screams. Only his slightly twitched torso and his eyes were already widened.
"This is a terrible devil, and under its gaze and appearance, you will have to obey it because you cannot resist its existence. This array is called the fifth magic array of Mars, which can expel and restrain non-self spiritual powers."
The girl's voice appeared behind Ling Yun at some point. She whispered to describe everything that was happening in front of her. The voice was as quiet as water, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
The strange feeling that Ling Yun had suddenly appeared had long disappeared, but now he was only at ease and a little inexplicable fear. He was staring at the magic circle and Du Han at the beginning. After the girl's voice sounded, he immediately turned his head.
"What happened just now? What did you... do?"
Ling Yun was a little wary because the things in front of him were too shocking, and he seemed to be in an illusion.
"Aren't you explaining? I'm helping him exorcism and remove the spiritual body engraved in his body. As for what happened to me just now... just treat it as an illusion. To explain, people like you who have no magic foundation should not understand at all."
The girl was talking while joking about Ling Yun. But from beginning to end, she was staring at Du Han in front of her, or the magic circle at the bottom of his feet. Before Ling Yun could speak, Du Han in front of her began to tremble. The scorpion was gone. He threw away the demon knife in his hand and knelt down in the center of the magic circle. He hugged his head and his chest for a while, rolling on the ground in pain, and his mouth made a heart-wrenching cry.
I thought this state would last for a long time, but soon, Du Han disappeared and fell sideways in the magic circle where the light gradually dimmed, leaving only a breathing sound.
"The 'surgery' is completed, and now your friend should be fine."
The girl no longer cared about the magic circle that had gradually disappeared on Du Han, who was lying on the ground, turned her head and looked at Ling Yun, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall.
"you...."
After the battle ended, Ling Yun looked at the girl carefully and said in surprise:
"Did you dress like this just now?"
It was no longer the shorts I had before, but a silk white long skirt. The girl's skirt was floating, and it looked particularly white in this dark space. There was still a feather pendant hanging in front of her neck.
"What surprised you was this?"
The girl was a little confused.
“Uh…No…”
Ling Yun stood up on the wall, obviously the violent impact just now hit him very hard. He picked up the demon sword Yi Chuan [Tian Congyun] in his hand, leaned against the wall with his shoulders and asked:
"You, what exactly is...? Why...?"
"'Who are you?''Why are you here to save me?', it's true that these are the questions. OK, you don't have to talk anymore, I'll explain why to you."
Before Ling Yun finished asking, the girl interrupted, obviously because she understood this clichéd question. She stood in front of Ling Yun, and while walking, she spoke:
"Simply put, I asked you for something, and I have been following you for almost a whole day, so I came to save you."
"If you have something to ask for? Follow me?"
Ling Yun heard these strange words and seemed to have nothing to do with her.
"This story is quite complicated. Let me tell you a long story short. I need to borrow a demon sword that can cut through space. And this demon sword is in the hands of your grandfather Ling Zhenghong."
Hearing this, Ling Yun's heart tightened, and the strength of holding the demon sword unconsciously increased, thinking:
"I'm still here, sure enough, no matter where I go, my name will always be..."
"My ancestors and your grandfather have agreed that if you need this demon knife, my family can get it at any time."
Although the girl noticed Ling Yun's changes, she still said to herself.
"Then why are you looking for me? I don't have this knife, so I'll go to that old man...my grandfather, just go to him to get it."
Ling Yun became more and more angry as he spoke, and almost cursed in the end. However, he seemed to realize some problems, and after he finished speaking, he was speechless.
"That knife is no longer on your grandfather, and I can't contact him, so I can only find you, the only heir to the Ling family."
The girl who saw some clues still chose to say bluntly, and after that, she stared at Ling Yun directly.
"What's the use of finding me? The knife is not with me, and I don't have his contact information. Besides, I have chosen to leave the Ling family long ago and no longer be a demon hunter."
As Ling Yun spoke, he put away the demon sword. He staggered the girl's gaze, as if he couldn't bear it.
"Maybe...you can try it with your knife."
To Ling Yun's expectation, he thought the girl would ask him why he left or something, but she started from the other side. After the girl said that, she stared at his eyes again.
"I...I won't draw my sword anymore."
Ling Yun looked at each other again, and even his face turned a little red. However, he hesitated for a while and chose to refuse. Since he decided to leave and go back again, it seemed like he was not determined. However, the girl did not care about him so much, but asked again:
"Just try it, you won't force you to do anything else."
"I...."
"Don't be for yourself, as your savior, should you repay me as well?"
"this....."
"And your classmates, you should know that the demon hunter has the physique to attract monsters. Even if you no longer draw your sword, as a former demon hunter, you will endanger the safety of your classmates around you, just like today."
“……”
Ling Yun was completely speechless now. She was right. The demon hunter would bring bad luck and gather monsters. As long as there was a place where the demon hunter stayed for a long time, there would be infinite crises.
"You are no longer suitable to continue acting as a demon hunter, let's go."
"Isn't this what you have always been looking forward to? Why are you reluctant to do it now?"
"Are you wondering why I know?"
"More than that, I know that you have strong anger and hatred now."
"You want revenge, right?"
......
"Do you believe in a weak body?"
“Do you firmly believe that you will always be guided on the right path?”
"Can you persist in fighting for the wishes of all things?"
"Are you sure you can fight for the good?"
"Can you give up your selfish desires and abandon yourself and fight?"
Ling Yun recalled again what his grandfather said to him last and the teachings his parents gave him. These two passages always popped up in his mind today, even making him feel a little anxious and angry. However, if he thought a little more deeply, he seemed less uncomfortable. He didn't want to review the words that he made his decision with the demon hunter, nor did he want to consider the teachings his parents had told him.
At this moment, at this moment, he wanted to think about what kind of choice he should make as himself. His thoughts did not last long, but it was already long enough for Ling Yun. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was struggling to think for a while. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the girl helplessly and said:
Chapter completed!
