Chapter 1038: Deadline for the Final Battle
Somewhere in the realm of desire.
The land that was once a picturesque place is now devastated. Shi Xiu took off his torn armor breathlessly, then changed into a long robe, took a pill, and then sat cross-legged on the spot to regulate his breathing.
The small tower above his head was emitting a dazzling light. Against the backdrop of the seven-colored divine light, the two corpses in Taoist robes with ferocious faces not far from him seemed to look much more peaceful.
Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang arrived late.
They first looked around in amazement at the grains of barren soil and gravel that were being reconstructed into towering mountains in a very strange way, including the rapidly growing sprouts at the foot of the mountains.
But when the two came to Shi Xiu and noticed the bodies of Taoist Qingshi and Taoist Qingmu, they were no longer concerned about why the terrain in the Desire Realm could repair itself automatically.
The two did not speak actively, but just looked at each other tacitly, and saw the hidden worry in each other's eyes, as well as a trace of helplessness of feeling sad about the loss of one's partner.
After all, Qingshi and Qingmu are on the same side as them in terms of their standpoints.
However, due to the complicated situation in the Desire Realm, the two brothers were the first to abandon the entire Dao Realm and chose to protect themselves, but they ended up dying before them.
It’s true that things in the world are unpredictable, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.
"Don't worry." Shi Xiu raised his head and looked at the two of them. "The progress is only 77% now. I won't be stupid enough to attack you."
Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang nodded.
All three knew that this was only a temporary situation.
Shi Xiu needs Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang to help him resist the increasingly powerful demonic tide outside. The two are also held hostage by Shi Xiu, and he has set up a hidden trick.
Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang would not kill people when fighting against the demon tide, which delayed the battle for several days. The progress of the sacrifice of these red demons only increased by 4.5%, of which at least 3% was caused by Yue Chizong and Yu Huangxin.
However, after the Qing brothers died at the hands of Shi Xiu, the progress of the sacrifice on the second day reached a very dangerous situation.
77.55%
One Dharma Realm can fill 10%. As long as one more person in the Dharma Realm dies, this small group of three will surely fall apart.
Therefore, whether it was Shi Xiu, Zhao Xuansu, or Li Chungang, they all understood that these seemingly comforting words were also a warning.
"Next?" Zhao Xuansu looked at Shi Xiu cautiously.
"Take a day's rest first." Although Shi Xiu had no obvious injuries on his body, his face looked a little pale. Although Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang did not watch the fight, they could probably guess that the Qing brothers had caused some trouble to the other side.
There is indeed only one thing. After all, for Shi Xiu, who is eager to get rid of the disadvantage of geographical location, giving him a day of rest is the greatest respect for the deceased brothers of the Qing family.
"What I mean is, do we need to explore the way first?" Zhao Xuansu said this in an attempt to survive when death was imminent.
"Exploring the way?" Shi Xiu sneered, "The reason we were able to find these two Taoists is because someone was already leading the way for us. If we were counting on you."
"Tsk~"
Shi Xiu did not continue his words. He did not forbid Li Chungang and Zhao Xuansu from using the sound transmission token, in order to allow them to find out the whereabouts of the Qing brothers.
As a result, he didn't know whether the two men did not contribute, or, as he said, the Qing brothers were too cautious and directly destroyed the token, making it impossible for the two men to contact them.
In the end, driven by the demonic tide, the three of them accidentally broke into the tortoise shell set up by the Qing brothers.
This also made Shi Xiu more eager to meet the conditions for the next day's sacrifice as soon as possible and then leave the Desire Realm.
After all, it was very shameless for the opponent to kill the entire screen. In addition, Yun Hongce directly used the lives of countless red demons to test the biggest weakness of the people from outer space. This was equivalent to tying their hands, feet, ears and eyes, and at the same time hanging a carrot in front of them, making them grind.
Now they are the Qing brothers.
It is speculated that the next step will be either to confront Yue Chi Zong directly, or to find the location of Yu Huang Xin directly. In short, the forces identified as enemies by the Wutan Demon Sect and the Ghost Market will allow them to meet unexpectedly.
The other party had guessed his eagerness to leave the Desire Realm and provided him with certain assistance.
During this period, he continued to use the magic tide to test the strength of the semi-sacred weapon, so as to find a targeted way to deal with the semi-sacred weapon.
This gave Shi Xiu hope of escape, preventing him from falling into despair and leading him directly to a self-destructive battle to the death, but at the same time he was treated as a wild monkey for experimentation!
humiliation!
From physical to mental, oppression and humiliation in every aspect!
But precisely because of this hope that was so close at hand, Shi Xiu had to suppress the murderous intent and anger that was about to explode, and could only silently follow the script given by the other party!
devil!
It is not a big deal if the other party guesses his purpose. The most troublesome thing is that by testing him step by step, he can find out his bottom line.
He was just a little bit away from exploding.
As a result, after dealing with the Qing brothers, he saw that the progress bar was almost reaching the safety line, so he had to continue to dive in.
Even now, I have to start hoping that the other party can give me guidance for the next step, and I have to silently accept the fact that I have become a knife.
"I'll leave the demonic tide outside to you. I need to rest here for a day. Don't let them disturb me. After I've rested, I'll go hunt down the next target."
Shi Xiu's voice echoed in the mountain stream that was gradually being repaired.
His words seemed to be explaining to Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang, and also seemed to be telling the figure hidden above the nine heavens who could see the entire desire realm at a glance.
Zhao Xuansu then left.
But Li Chungang stood there without moving, which made Shi Xiu frown slightly.
The words of comfort that the three of them knew were nonsense were already the limit of what he could do. He was about to lose his patience as he was constantly eroded by desire.
Just when he was about to use some tough measures, Li Chungang spoke first:
"When did you first learn my name?"
Shi Xiu frowned even more tightly. He wanted to slap the other person to teach him a lesson, but at the same time, he began to unconsciously recall the name Li Chungang.
Then he retracted the hand that was about to be extended.
Shi Xiu's face looked a little ugly.
"Because of your declaration to the world, if I, Li Chungang, had not been born, the sword path would have been in darkness forever."
"very good."
Li Chungang left.
He was reminding Shi Xiu that there was some subtle relationship between him and the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm, so his own weight was naturally not as great as those of the Dharma Realm natives who could be slaughtered at will.
Li Chungang can lose or die.
But he would lose at the hands of a swordsman who was also from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and he would die at the hands of someone who could take over his power and inherit his title as the Sword God.
Teacher's rest does not meet the requirements.
Once he used his killing move on him, regardless of how strong Li Chungang could exert in a desperate fight, the omnipresent Eye of Heaven would first target him.
"Damn it!"
In a rage, Shi Xiu punched through the restored mountains around him. With the earth shaking, he had to start planning again.
-
On the other side, after receiving Yuya’s report, Qin Fan soon met Zhishan.
The other party not only informed the identities of the two newly added candidates for sacrifice, but also truthfully recounted the situation on Shi Xiu's side.
"Next, it's the most important three-way collision." Qin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Master Xiu can rest for a day, and we may even need to extend this time a little longer, but considering that he is eager to leave the Desire Realm.
And there is Yue Chizong."
"Yue Chi Zong is taking Sanhei to look for the whereabouts of Yu Huang Xin." Zhi Shan looked indifferent, and he did not show any dissatisfaction with the fact that after Gui Shi decided to join forces with him, he turned around and hooked up with Sanhei.
"With the demonic tide chasing and intercepting them, and some minor treatments I have done, they won't be able to find them in a short period of time. But we have to consider the possibility that they will do something crazy after being constantly eroded by desire."
Qin Fan nodded.
The current situation is still under our control.
Shi Xiu and Yue Chizong have been locked in a life-and-death struggle.
The former is determined to leave the Desire Realm, while the latter, because of the sunk costs, has a killing intent that has increased to the point where even if his emotions calm down, he must fight to the death.
Therefore, we can reach some tacit understanding and cooperation with the former.
Therefore, the time delay calculation can still be controlled.
What the latter needs to consider is the time when his sanity completely collapses and he simply does not care about the success rate and fights to the death.
"How long do you think Yue Chi Zong can hold on?"
"Three days."
"I need five days." Qin Fan looked at Zhi Shan seriously and said, "After the first day of the construction of the Desire Realm is completed, you should be able to control the speed of the erosion of desire."
"Okay, then five days." Zhishan answered readily.
But Qin Fan looked into the other person's eyes, which showed neither joy nor sorrow, and said seriously:
"Do you still remember what I said to you after the battle on the top of Knife Mountain?"
"Do you mean the stance towards Tianwai?" There was some fluctuation in Zhishan's eyes.
"That's right, but I forgot to tell you that when someone tries to take advantage of my position and do something secretly that ruins my plan, I will just overturn the chessboard." Qin Fan's face showed his usual gentle smile.
His voice was soft and cold, but it faintly revealed a madness that was about to erupt, as hot as volcanic magma a thousand times hotter.
“So, at this final step, it’s no longer the time to continue competing and scheming.
If you are good and I am good, then everyone will be good, and the desire world can also develop better, don’t you think so? "
Zhishan did not answer immediately, but just looked at Qin Fan quietly for a few seconds, then nodded seriously, turned around and left. In just a blink of an eye, the door of the Demon Buddha Temple was closed again.
"Master, he..." From Qin Fan's last sentence, Yue Piaoling could tell that Zhishan didn't seem to be a peaceful person either, and he probably had some little thoughts in his mind.
"Since it wasn't done, just pretend it didn't happen." Qin Fan said it directly without any hesitation, instead of using the power of his soul to form a barrier to block the outside world from peeping and eavesdropping as he did before when the trio discussed matters of the outside world.
Feng Mo frowned slightly and said:
"As one of the three bodies of Poxun, Zhishan's thinking mode should be absolutely rational. He won't deliberately trick us just because we join forces with Sanhei."
"The problem lies with Yun Hongce, because he really cares about gains and losses and judges rationally. With the absolute advantage of the terrain and the fact that we don't know the extent of his control over the Desire Realm, the game he is going to set up may be able to take back everything he has lost."
"Will the master's words alone make him give up the plan to maximize his interests after rational judgment?"
"Yes." Qin Fan said calmly, "Since I have given him a warning in advance, it means that he will not be able to catch him by surprise. He has already lost a step. Next, he will have to face more than just Yun Hongce who has already taken some preventive measures.
And I had already started to stare at him, two against one, and he lost again.
Next, I expressed my determination and secretly pointed out the importance of the Desire Realm in his heart and mine. The so-called geographical advantage will also turn into a cage that will restrict his hands and feet.
So he needs to reconsider.
Considering the possibility of him keeping the Desire Realm after falling out with us."
When saying this, the golden flame of Nirvana in Qin Fan's eyes flashed and disappeared, and a crack that appeared in the void also made a sizzling sound due to its burning, and then the flame disappeared and the space gap closed.
"In short, at this time we should trust the rational judgment of a wise man."
Qin Fan smiled gently in the direction of the Demon Buddha Temple.
Then he said to Feng Yue and the others:
"We only have five days."
"The decisive battle in five days?" Feng Mo let out a breath. Now that he had made sure that his worries were gone, the next step would be a real competition of strength, which was also his favorite part.
Then a soul barrier was set up again around the three of them, and the outer circle was covered by a layer of Nirvana golden flame.
“Feng, you need to use all the origin points you obtain in the next five days to refine and fuse the Wujian Gangsha. For us now, these fire seeds and wind seeds can help us make progress in all aspects, not only in our real realm, but also in the progress of our Dharma images.”
"Okay." Feng Mo nodded.
Then Qin Fan looked at Yue Piaoling.
"Yue, you need to master the Three-Point Return to Origin Art as soon as possible, with a focus on the Wind God Leg. With your talent, you should be able to enhance the wind domain more perfectly.
The key to dealing with semi-holy weapons lies in the checks and balances of Heaven, which are also the Nirvana Golden Flame and the Infinite Evil that we can initially use.
Super-grade divine weapons can only be dealt with by super-grade means."
"I understand." Yue Piaoling nodded solemnly. He was very used to assisting Feng Mo.
However, he was also a little envious of these fire and wind seeds.
It is currently known that there are nine divine winds, six heavenly waters, seven true fires, and eight spiritual soils in the world. According to the deduction and speculation after the Three-part Return to Origin Technique, [Three Births of All Things: Creation of the World] may require the construction of the four basic elements of wind, water, fire and earth to assist in its completion.
Therefore, we must get out of the mountain and sea realm as soon as possible.
At the same time, the other Ghost Market masters who had not entered the core circle and whom Qin Fan did not plan to bring to participate in the decisive battle all sighed.
But then, when they saw a figure walking towards Qin Fan and the other two, their expressions became more complicated.
