"Is it really a big monster?"
Even so, the old man's entire body was blown away by the huge force of the sword swung by Kamiya Kaoru, smashing a hole in the building. Kamiya Kaoru had an idea and wanted to continue pursuing the victory, but suddenly a demonic energy surged behind him, like a huge sickle, plowing deep scars on the ground of the courtyard.
Kamiya Kaori leaped forward and dodged the evil aura, but only saw a young monster with half of his face covered by a wooden board.
"You look so embarrassed, Kidomaru."
The young monster was about to taunt his comrades when he suddenly heard a voice, which stirred up the complex emotions in countless memories of his past. However, he was finally stabbed in the body by a sword. Soon, the breath of death spread through his body, cutting off all his life.
"hurry up!"
The young man urged again.
Kamiya Kaori didn't wait for the smoke to dissipate and went straight through the hole, but did not find the old monster that had been knocked down.
However, Ling Wuji used the art of looking at qi in the sky and soon found the big monster called Kidomaru. After all, Kanzaki Kaori was a natural saint. After catching up with him, she only used two swords to smash the man's weapon, then pressed the sword against his neck and forced him to tell her where Yuyuko was.
"We, the Kyoto monsters, have long cherished this wish for hundreds of years. We will never let you ignorant humans destroy it..."
Kidomaru just kept coughing up blood but didn't reveal any information.
Kamiya Kaori is not someone who is well versed in torture.
So Ling Wuji had no choice but to fall back and use the "Pot Technique" to stimulate the disease energy in the old monster. For a moment, all kinds of strange and unbearable feelings broke out in the monster. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and revealed the news that Yuyuko was in Nijo Castle. Ling Wuji took a look with the Qi-Viewing Technique and found that the place was indeed one of the places filled with evil energy -
No, there seems to be a familiar smell?
Volume 2: Yitian Wanli Xu Changjian: Chapter 42: Athena
"Athena?"
When Ling Wuji arrived at the Nijo Castle, he saw the silver-haired girl in the ancient Greek robe standing there from the sky. He felt a little confused for a moment and couldn't help but touch the life-saving hair that Monkey Brother had lent him. He thought, why did this girl come to such a ghost place instead of going to entangle Medusa? And it seems that she is also involved with Yuyuko?
This is not right either.
If Yuyuko had her support, she could accomplish whatever she wanted. Why would she go around killing people and taking their hearts and souls?
This made Wu Ji feel suspicious and fearful.
In fact, even if he had the life-saving hair, he couldn't help but feel scared. The last time he was able to separate Medusa from her was pure luck. Even if he could really separate Metis from her this time, it was obvious that there was no deep hatred between the two gods like Athena and Medusa. They might even join hands to deal with him!
But the goddess spotted him lurking in the sky.
So she used her magic power to condense a huge owl, which flew straight towards him, causing Wu Ji to almost use a life-saving hair. Unexpectedly, the owl did not attack him, but spoke in human language just like the poisonous snake summoned by Medusa:
"You don't have to worry."
Ling Wu Ji was speechless for a moment.
But the owl quickly continued, "Your target should be that little monster. I need her to nurture the fetus as a sacrifice to summon the God of Disobedience. I just need to get this done!"
Ling Wuji sneered:
"Did you get something wrong?"
"How to say?"
"I want to kill Yuyuko because she has killed too many people to achieve her own goals, but you told me that you want to summon the God of Disobedience. Wouldn't your goal lead to even greater disasters?"
The owl also emitted the girl's usual arrogant, mocking voice: "According to what you said, when you came to Kyoto, you should have given the hair that the monkey gave you, and asked him to help you clear the evil fog in Kyoto. But you were reluctant to give it to him, and just wanted to quell this chaos by yourself. Even now you are still hesitating. So, are you really as selfless as you said?"
Ling Wuji was hit by her little secret and his expression turned unhappy for a moment.
But he was not a selfless person.
But he chose to change the subject: "A great God of Disobedience would actually study the psychology of mere humans?"
"You are a very special human being."
Athena's voice suddenly revealed some strange emotions.
"Should I say flattered?"
Athena simply controlled the owl to circle around the boy and said, "That's not necessary. Although you are not a godslayer, the ability you possess may make the cycle of killing each other between godslayers and disobedient gods a thing of the past. Although there are not many disobedient gods who will be content to close their "seven orifices" like the monkey, if you can really separate the human wishes from the Alaya side of each disobedient god, then this world may once again usher in the Age of Gods.
"You actually realized that, didn't you?"
Ling Wuji looked at the owl's figure and didn't know what to say for a moment.
There was indeed nothing wrong with what she said.
But if Ling Wuji did the same to every disobedient god that descended, even if the origins of those disobedient gods returned to the original form of natural spirits, those separated individuals would each possess their own powerful strength. It might not be harmful to individuals like the Monkey King and the Fighting Buddha who were close to heroic spirits, but Ling Wuji could not guarantee the situation for others.
What if some disobedient gods have been shaped into an evil character by human wishes from the very beginning?
Isn't Ling Wuji's dragon-slaying technique really bringing disaster to the world?
Of course, he actually didn't want to get involved in disputes at the level of the God of Disobedience.
"It's too late," the voice of the goddess girl sounded like she was laughing. "I didn't realize it before, but someone must have told you that you have been contaminated with quite a lot of foreign matter from a higher level. That foreign matter is like some kind of poison, which will constantly attract the prying eyes of Alaya and Gaia. Although I don't think they really have consciousness, even if they are just some kind of mechanism, they will constantly try to eliminate or assimilate this strange foreign matter in you."
Ling Wuji was just thinking:
What exactly does she mean by "heterogeneous"?
System?
But the so-called Taoist forbidden technique catalog system does not seem to be too beyond common sense. If he has to say, Ling Wu Ji feels that those people who have vision of the future, or the witches who can directly obtain knowledge through the underworld are really beyond common sense. People like him have to trigger certain conditions to get Taoism from the system, but those people obtain knowledge without any reason at all!
"According to what you said, isn't it true that 'the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao'?"
Athena still chatted with him slowly.
Ling Wuji immediately noticed her sinister intentions and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"I will use the nue bred by the feathered fox to summon Izanami!"
Ling Wuji ignored her reasoning and just asked, "And then?"
"Then it depends on how you choose."
"I?"
So that Wu Ji could not understand the reason.
"Do you want to create another era of gods?"
Ling Wu Ji immediately shook his head.
Although he is now serving as the sword of Damocles for the Japanese, if given a choice, who would want to have an extra sword of Damocles hanging over their head?
"No, what does this have to do with me?"
Ling Wu Ji realized that as a disobedient god, what he should do should depend on the attitude of a human being.
"But weren't you the one who separated most of the Earth Mother's divinity from me?"
"so what?"
When Ling Wuji heard her mention this, he immediately pinched the few life-saving hairs he carried with him and looked at her warily, or rather, at the owl that was waving its wings so close to him.
Could it be possible that she could complete this part of the divinity from other disobedient gods?
impossible?
Although the essence of divinity is willpower, which comes from human faith, just like water that has been poured out and flowed onto the ground cannot return to the basin, willpower that has already taken a specific shape should not be able to return to its original state. Why does she want to summon "Izanami"?
Volume 2: The Sword of Heaven: Chapter 43: Planning
But Ling Wuji was not a fool and he quickly reacted:
No matter what her purpose is, I must not let her continue!
The relationship between the two of them is definitely not as harmonious as it seems now. No matter what her purpose is, she will definitely kill herself in the end!
He was just about to infuse his true energy into one of the life-saving hairs, but he saw Kamiya Kaoru, who arrived a step later, rushing towards the pavilion without fear. She jumped up from the bottom of the tower, was slightly stunned when she saw the silver-haired girl, and then stepped on the edge of the tower, trying to pass by her and continue going deeper into the place below where the demonic energy was rising.
"Idiot! Get back!"
Ling Wu Ji's mind was suddenly lost, so the owl seized the opportunity and rushed towards him.
But he summoned a strong wind and blew the owl away.
At this time, after hearing Ling Wuji's warning, Kamiya Kaoru immediately thrust her sword into the ground, trying to stop herself from moving towards the silver-haired girl. However, her previous step was too firm, and it was too late to back down. She changed direction again and wanted to jump up, but was immediately approached by the girl whose whole body was shining with divinity under the moonlight. The girl stretched out her hand that looked like it was carved from white jade, grabbed her collar, observed herself with interest, and said:
"The physique of the Son of God? It's an interesting talent..."
Then she did something that took Kamijou Kaori by surprise—
She actually moved her face closer and kissed him!
But a moment later, Kamisaki Kaori only felt the pure and extremely cold breath of death coming from the girl's mouth. In a moment, the breath spread and blocked her consciousness, just like the god of death wielding a scythe, severing the connection between her soul and body, but not completely. There were still a few threads left, making her life like a candle in the wind.
Her consciousness quickly became blurred, and when she was about to fall asleep, she only saw the girl speaking to the boy in mid-air, as if she said something, but she could no longer hear clearly. She vaguely realized that her current situation was a complete conspiracy, and the girl just wanted to use her to delay time so that Ling Wuji could not use his trump card at all!
She opened her mouth, wanting Ling Wuji to leave her alone and let him reveal her trump card, but in the end she only exhaled a weak breath and completely lost consciousness.
……
When Kamiya Kaoru opened her eyes again, she saw Ling Wuji's handsome face, which had not yet completely lost its childishness, still had an absent-minded look. He was only a few inches away from her, and he was holding her hand. The warmth from his hand could be felt in her palm, which seemed particularly warm in this cold autumn night.
"woke up?"
Ling Wu Ji just said.
Then Kamiya Kaoru found herself still lying on the ground of the tower. She thought carefully for a moment, but she still felt the evil spirit in the vicinity. She understood Ling Wuji's choice, and regardless of her weakness as she had not yet completely gotten rid of the aura of death, she said:
"I'm almost well, you..."
"Do you really know what happened?"
Ling Wuji still continued to use the "Skill in the Pot" to help her sort out the breath in her body, but said.
Kanzaki Kaori fell silent, but soon said, "But if you follow that person's wishes and choose to stay and save me, with that person's methods, the harm he will cause will probably be even greater than that of Yuyuko, right?"
"That's true."
"If that's the case," her tone suddenly became intense, but she couldn't help but lack confidence, so she coughed for a while before continuing, "If that's the case, why did you choose to do this?"
Ling Wuji looked at this girl who was still concerned about the country and the people even in this situation, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, why?"
Kanzaki Kaori was defeated by his rogue attitude.
However, after Ling Wuji completely eradicated the aura of death from her body, he did not continue to use the "Pot Technique". He now had very little true energy left in his body to expel her death aura. This was indeed Athena's plan. She could have easily taken Kamijou Touma's life, but in order to consume Ling Wuji's true energy, she chose to leave a glimmer of hope. If Ling Wuji chose to use the life-saving hairs, he would have to infuse a considerable amount of spiritual energy into the hairs so that Monkey Brother could sense it. But if he did that, there would be no doubt that Kamijou Touma would lose the chance to be rescued.
Completely turned into a corpse.
If Ling Wu Ji really cared about the people of the world, then even if it meant sacrificing Kamiya Kaori, he would choose to use his hair without hesitation.
