Chapter 180 The Eye of the Heart
Chapter 180 The Eye of the Heart
In the area designated as Zone C-3, a large number of people were gathering in a dim underground hall.
What is most eye-catching is their pupils that sparkle with different lights.
"It's almost time to start."
A man in black robe said in a deep voice.
As the black-robed figure finished speaking, a figure in a blood-red robe came in front of the crowd.
"Brothers and sisters, the mission assigned to us by the Supreme Being has basically failed." The blood-robed figure took off his hood, revealing a young male face, "Even Master Xin fell into the hands of the creatures outside."
Having said this, he looked around at the crowd below.
At this time, the crowd had different expressions, some were depressed, some were afraid, and some were confused.
Complex emotions were intertwined in this dim underground gathering place.
"But we still have a chance of survival."
Hearing this, most of the people below were stunned and immediately asked, "Master Ming, what are you talking about?"
"Master Ming, please don't keep us in suspense. At this point, we are willing to do it even if it means attacking the entrance."
"Yes, we have nowhere to retreat."
Seeing that he had successfully stirred up the emotions of the people below, the young man called Master Ming laughed and said, "I think everyone should know that I am the descendant of Master Xin."
The crowd was stunned, not knowing why the young man brought up this at this time. After all, Lord Xin's body was still hanging high in the sky.
However, Lord Ming was not going to keep the secret any longer, and instead revealed a secret that horrified everyone: "What if I tell him that I can get the same eyes as Lord Xin?"
The crowd was instantly in an uproar when they heard this.
"How can this be?!"
"Master Xin's eye has only appeared once in history."
"Master Ming, have you awakened your third eye?!"
The crowd couldn't help but get excited at the thought of this possibility.
Although Lord Ming does not have Lord Xin's all-powerful power, as long as he has that eye, it will be no problem for him to lead them out of this cage.
After escaping, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly and the sea will be wide enough for fish to jump.
However, Master Ming's next words poured cold water on them: "I haven't awakened my third eye."
Feeling as though they were being played a trick, the crowd became angry.
"Ming, Master Xin is dead. You don't think we can still accept your rule, do you?"
"Yeah, I originally thought you had some plans, but now it seems so."
Ming was overwhelmed by such words, but he was not angry. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his face: "Why do you think..."
"The eye of Master Xin."
“It’s natural.”
The scene instantly fell into dead silence. Ming's words were somewhat incomprehensible to the crowd, but they also smelled something unusual.
"Do it!"
While everyone was still confused, a figure in a black robe in the crowd suddenly took the life of the person next to him.
Soon, the only people left in the underground hall were Ming in the blood-stained robe and the attackers in black robes.
"Dig them all out."
Ming gave the order expressionlessly, and as he moved his fingers, the blood flowing on the ground began to gather around him.
Gradually, the blood formed a giant magic circle on the ground.
If someone could see the entire formation from a high place, they would probably find that the formation resembled a giant pupil in the center of the blood moon in the sky.
"Master Ming, everything is here."
A man in a black robe walked respectfully to Ming and handed him the jar.
What is stored in the jar are pairs of eyes of different colors.
Glancing at a few men in black robes, Ming casually said, "I want yours too."
"But just one will do."
Upon hearing this, the men in black robes dug out one of their eyes without any hesitation.
Covering the bleeding right eye, the black-robed men placed the eye inside a giant magic circle.
Seeing this, Ming gently placed his right middle finger, index finger and thumb on his right eye socket.
"Although it's not like Master Xin who uses Master Li and Master Ling as consumables with the help of the Supreme Being."
"But with so many eyes, I think it shouldn't be a problem to sacrifice a weakened version."
While murmured, Ming exerted slight force with his right hand.
A moment later, an eye appeared on his palm.
An eye of his own.
Ming seemed to feel no pain at all, letting the blood from his empty right eye flow down his cheek.
He gently placed his own eye in the center of the magic circle.
As the right eye in the center of the magic circle emitted a dazzling light, the magic circle began to vibrate.
One by one, the eyes shattered in the blood-red light and gathered in the center, enveloping Ming's eye.
Seeing this, Ming's face flushed: "It's almost there, it will be successful soon."
"As long as there's that eye."
"Report"
Forget about revenge. Thinking of that woman with facial paralysis who was as strong as a monster, Ming shuddered.
"Try to escape from here first."
Soon, the magic circle drawn with blood dimmed, and was replaced by an eye flashing with eerie light floating in the air.
Ming took the glasses carefully.
Looking at the treasure in his hand that looked like glass, he was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
"Success! The same eyes as Kokoro-sama!"
“I never thought that I would actually be able to succeed one day!”
As a descendant of Lord Xin, Ming naturally knew how his ancestor came to be and how he made his fortune.
However, after his ancestor completely dominated the world, he prohibited his descendants from imitating him and obtaining these powerful eyes.
Under the unavoidable surveillance of Lord Xin, they could only obediently help the other party consolidate his power.
"In that case, I should thank that paralyzed woman!" Thinking of this, Ming laughed crazily, "Good thing she died! Old man!"
He moved his trembling right hand closer to his empty right eye. As the two got closer, strands of flesh began to connect together.
Finally, Ming's right eye returned to his eye socket.
"Hahahaha!"
Ming stroked his right eye and laughed wildly.
"Master Mingming." At this time, a man in a black robe asked with some concern, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Ming opened his tightly closed right eye, and blood-red stars were flowing in it.
"I'm so high right now!"
The man in black robe broke out in a cold sweat as he was stared at by the scarlet pupils.
But just when he was about to reveal his true colors, Ming frowned and closed his right eye: "Sure enough, I can't compare to Master Xin's eyes after all."
“And the burden is a bit too great.”
"But fortunately, it can be strengthened in the future."
The group of men in black robes couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.
The pressure brought to them by the legendary eye was too great.
At this moment, a man in a black robe knelt on the ground: "Master Ming, my eyes tell me that there are creatures from the outside world approaching."
Hearing this, Ming smiled: "My right eye is craving for blood" "Just let me have some fun with these little mice."
"Did you see the eye on the moon flicker just now?"
On the other side, Russell asked the four people around him with some uncertainty.
However, the four of them told him in unison that they did not see it, or rather, they were not paying attention to the sky at all.
"Did I see it wrong?" Russell was a little uncertain.
But he is not a character in a horror movie after all, so even if something is wrong he pretends not to see it, which results in him being killed by the plot in the end.
"I feel that this secret realm is a bit strange. We'd better be careful later." Russell said in a deep voice.
Liu Yu, You Mengnan, and Du Jing all agreed.
Sun Jian rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart: "You are scaring me again."
He did not take Russell's suggestion to heart. In his opinion, Russell and Liu Yu were there anyway, so if there was real danger, it would not be his turn.
And why is he so nervous? He didn't feel how dangerous the secret realm was when he took practical training classes before.
Not long after, the ghost soldier appeared in a dense forest with five people.
"We've arrived." Russell looked through the woods at the quiet town not far away, "But I can't detect any demonic presence."
He felt a little surprised. Although his mental power was not enough to cover the entire town, it was more than enough to explore the marginal areas near them.
Liu Yu naturally released his mental power as well, but the feedback he got was the same as Russell's.
After thinking for a while, he said, "There are two possibilities. One is that these demons are gathering together somewhere else."
"Another possibility is that they have the means to block mental detection."
Russell nodded slightly to confirm Liu Yu's statement: "Then we can only sneak in and take a look."
But it was impossible for them to just walk in so brazenly, so Russell summoned Blizzard and asked her to fire a shot of [Wind King Barrier·Blizzard Special Edition] at everyone.
Several people had seen Fubuki hide Lily's big light cannon, so they were not particularly surprised by this.
The group of five approached the town in silence, but what surprised them was that they still could not capture the breath of the demon within the range of their mental power.
"It seems that they have a way to block our detection." Du Jing pushed his black-framed glasses expressionlessly.
"Do you have any cards that can detect?" Russell asked as he summoned the ghost soldiers.
The four of them shook their heads. In order to prepare for the national competition, they could only sacrifice the positions of functional cards to make room for combat power cards.
Russell was not surprised by this, he just asked casually.
If there is, that would be the best, but if not, he has other means.
As his mental power increases, the number of ghost soldiers Russell can summon increases these days.
In the current situation, it would be safer to let the ghost soldiers spread out and explore.
The ten ghost soldiers lowered their heads and accepted the order, then disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Okay, wait for the news."
Russell looked around and said to Liu Yu and the others.
The other four also understood the principle that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since Russell has taken on the responsibility of exploring information, they will not make rash decisions.
Although Russell won't let them advance too aggressively.
"We need to be prepared that we have been exposed."
After waiting for a long time, seeing that no ghost soldier came back to report, and the number of soldiers who had dispersed did not decrease, Russell pinched his brows with a headache.
Liu Yu and the other three nodded silently. They also agreed with Russell's judgment.
"It seems that these demons also have the means to detect."
"Eyes? Interesting."
The current situation made Russell think of the Byakugan in Naruto.
"Hmm?" Just when he was wondering if the gap from the Byakugan to the Samsara Eye Sword was too big, the information coming to his mind made him come back to his senses.
"My cards dissipated."
As he spoke, the black and red liquid had already swallowed up Russell.
Appearing in front of Liu Yu and the other three was Russell, who had transformed into an arrogant form.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
Now that he had made the discovery, Russell stopped procrastinating.
However, in order to prevent possible ambushes, he still asked several people to put out their cards.
At this point, there is no point in covering it up any further.
The group of five rushed in the direction indicated by Russell.
Just as he was about to reach the scene of the incident, Russell stopped in his tracks.
"Something's not right."
It was so quiet, as if there were only five of them, Russell and the other two, in the world.
Without any hesitation, Russell asked Fubuki to use his telekinesis to protect the five people.
In just a breath, a fiery red laser swept over from a distance, piercing through the houses wherever it passed.
"laugh"
The blazing light collided violently with Fubuki's mental power.
However, as the laser gradually became brighter and thicker, an earth-shaking explosion was produced.
"boom!"
The smoke blocked the vision of several people. Lily waved the Golden Sword of Oath in her hand with a serious expression.
The sword wind generated by the tremendous force instantly swept away the surrounding dust.
“It’s a little tricky, but not difficult.”
Russell made an instant judgment based on the intensity of the laser just now.
At this time, Liu Yu's dragon snake had already flown into the air and began to gather thick dark clouds.
"Crack!"
Bright blue lightning fell, illuminating the dark street.
"What a pity. If we had that card, we could have some cooperation now." Russell sighed as he silently looked at the dark clouds that had covered the sky.
"clap clap"
Just as the five people were ready for battle, a burst of applause came from the other end of the street.
"Well done, it's worthy of being a world that can kill Master Kokoro."
A young man in a blood-stained robe with his right eye tightly closed appeared in everyone's sight, and his open left eye was gradually dimming.
It was obvious that the attack just now was launched by the young man.
"Where did the heat vision come from, my countryman?" Looking at the other party's appearance, Russell couldn't help but twitching his lips.
And just after the young man appeared, as if a switch was turned on, a demonic aura appeared around Russell and his companions.
Looking at the black-robed men who were already surrounding him, Russell asked Liu Yu in a low voice, "Did the information say that all the demons in this secret realm are one-eyed?"
Liu Yu looked around with an unpleasant expression and found that the right eyes of all the black-robed people were empty. This reminded him of what Russell said when he first entered the secret realm: "No, something is wrong. Find a chance to retreat first."
You Mengnan and the other two who were standing by also heard their discussion and involuntarily moved closer to them.
"Before we retreat, I will let Lily release her weapon to provide cover. See if you can hold back the blood-robed man." Russell said the arrangement to Liu Yu calmly, "You three will be responsible for holding back the black-robed men nearby."
"clear."
At this moment, the blood-robed man said with some amusement: "Do you still want to make a last-ditch struggle?"
"Well, let me show you my newfound power."
“The power of God.”
"The eye of the heart."
After he finished speaking, he opened his right eye, which had been tightly closed since he appeared on the stage, and the blood-red star stared straight at Russell and the other four.
