Chapter 422 Dark Moon Slash
He seemed to have fallen into a terrible dark abyss.
There was an unspeakable horrible substance in the darkness that was constantly eating away at his body. He struggled subconsciously, but it was as if he was stuck in a quagmire and it was becoming increasingly difficult to free himself.
As he gradually sank deeper into the quagmire, the dark matter seemed to flow into his body from all directions, invading his breathing and senses, and a strong feeling of suffocation surged up.
The black thing seemed to be transforming him into another posture that was definitely not his own.
but--
It can't become like this!
He has more important things to do!
Sawame City... Fixed-lock seeds...
In the darkness, like a series of flashing fragments of memory, Zhan Ji Ling Ma, wearing a white lab coat, handed him the first device that represented the hope of mankind - the Zhan Ji Driver!
Wu Daoguihu suddenly opened his eyes from the panic of being on the verge of suffocation, and the darkness in front of him seemed to turn into a flowing curtain, floating in and out.
There is a line called "self" and "reason" that constantly stirs his will.
What does he have to do now...
The pair of flashing dark red eyes stared straight at the enemy opposite. He smelled the familiar scent, and Dark Zangetsu slowly drew out the unparalleled saber from his waist.
"Zizi-"
A platinum-colored electric current spread through the blade.
After Zangetsu descended in a devilish black posture, the heavy feeling of oppression seemed to make the entire Helheim forest tremble. Pitch-black vines grew out from under his feet, and then quickly withered and disappeared.
"how come……"
Zhan Ji Lingma's body was trembling, as if there was an instinctive anger and fear in his body.
But he was not the only one who shuddered at this sudden dark gesture.
Takashi Mai, who was standing nearby, covered her head in pain. Not far away, Mitsumasa Wudao and Yoko Minato were both lying on the ground in cold sweat, as if they were under tremendous pressure.
This is--
A silver-white monster suddenly appeared outside the battlefield.
"murderous look?"
Bai Ya, who had come over because he noticed the unusual turbulence in the forest, looked at the area shrouded in darkness.
“Is this the fruit of darkness?”
……
zizi——
The platinum-colored electric light quickly spread across the battlefield along the roots of the grass and trees on the ground. Wu Daoguang and his group, who were also enveloped in it, did not dare to move.
But Zhan Ji Lingma seemed to have touched something at this moment, and he suddenly became angry.
"What power is this?"
Sengoku Lingma stared at Dark Zangetsu fiercely: "Is it the fruit of wisdom? When did you gain this power? On what basis... Only the 'Apple' I created is the real golden fruit! Your power should not exist!"
The power erupted by the Dark Moon Slash was unfamiliar. Although there was also an inexplicable sense of familiarity, no matter what, this was not what Zhan Ji Lingma had expected.
This is another power that was not created by him at all, following Zangetsu's "Watermelon Armor" and "Kachidoki Armor".
This made Zhan Ji Lingma very unhappy.
He is the god of the new world, so everything in this world should be created by him personally. The locking seeds used by those armored knights outside are all from his creation!
Zhan Ji Lingma enjoyed this feeling.
Only the accidents that happened to Guihu Wudao again and again were beyond his control.
Suddenly, Zhan Ji Ling Ma thought of the source of the surprise: "So that's how it is, your power also comes from that person——"
However, before he could finish his words, the Dark Moon that was already ready to strike suddenly appeared in front of him like a flash of white lightning!
The swinging unparalleled saber dragged his afterimage down, and Zhan Ji Lingma couldn't even react. The armor on his chest flashed with sparks, and the whole person flew backwards like a cannonball!
A strong energy burst out from the spot, and Dark Zang Yue, holding the unparalleled saber in one hand, slowly raised his head, and the next moment his figure disappeared again.
Zhan Ji Lingma's body broke a big tree in half. As soon as he fell to the ground, he suddenly realized something and jumped up and turned around to attack. The golden-red apple sword was quickly pulled out by him.
"clang--!"
Sparks exploded from the collision of swords, and Dark Zangetsu pressed down with force the unparalleled saber in his hand. The pair of dark red compound eyes that were close at hand stared at him coldly.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma, who was looking at him, suddenly sneered: "You will be swallowed by a powerful force. You are nothing more than that, Gui Hu."
Then, his apple sword was shaken away by a huge force, and the unparalleled saber with the aura of destruction slashed towards him fiercely.
Zhan Ji Lingma, who was already prepared at this moment, immediately summoned out the apple shield to resist. However, the power coming from the opposite side was almost overwhelming, and the burst of energy directly blew him and the apple shield away.
"How can it be……"
Zhan Ji Lingma gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet. The platinum-colored lightning that was shuttling through the woods attacked again!
Several vines suddenly rushed out of the ground and blocked his sight. Zhan Ji Lingma's figure turned into a black mist composed of dark purple locusts, and the figure of Dark Zhan Yue broke through the vines and appeared in his position the next moment.
sizzle...
With the cut black locking seed as the source, platinum-colored electric light continued to spread from the Zhan Ji driver, but it flickered as if it was restricted.
Dark Zangetsu looked sideways, raised his hand to cut off the handle of the Sengoku Driver, and then raised his Wushuang Saber and swung it towards the black mist.
"boom!"
The explosive energy exploded in the gloomy and dark forest. The strong energy instantly dispersed a piece of plants. The diffuse electric light also triggered a series of explosions in the black fog in the air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The dark purple locusts fell with crackling sounds, and then condensed into the golden apple armor form of Zhan Ji Lingma.
He slammed his body to the ground, then immediately stood up, with a golden apple sword condensed in his hand.
"I have created the golden fruit. I am the god who rules this world!"
Zhan Ji Lingma roared and raised the Golden Apple Sword. Golden and red energy accumulated, and the surrounding vines also rushed up at this moment, crisscrossing like living snakes and rushing towards the Dark Moon on the opposite side!
The Dark Zang Yue stood upright without moving, just tilted its head slightly, and then the branches of the plants that were flying towards it instantly collapsed.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Ji Ling didn't have time to think about anything else. He slashed the sword in his hand fiercely, and the golden-red light blade that was condensed to the extreme instantly came in front of Dark Zhan Yue!
Dark Moon raised his hand at this moment.
"Boom——!"
A blinding flame exploded instantly, and a powerful energy shock spread out from the center of the explosion. The air seemed to be distorted by the shock, and the surrounding plant vines turned into flying pieces of debris.
The resulting air waves swept around like a tsunami, and people like Wu Daoguang, who had been frightened by the murderous aura in the distance, were caught off guard and blown away. A layer of hazy smoke filled the already dark and gloomy forest.
"elder brother……"
Wu Daoguang put down his arm that was blocking the energy and quickly turned his head to look over there.
In the dispersing smoke and dust, Dark Zang Yue's feet plowed a furrow in the muddy and wet grass, but his figure still stood there steadily.
Platinum-colored lightning flashed on his body from time to time. Dark Moon slowly retracted his left hand that had been used to block the light blade, and seemed to be looking at his palm thoughtfully.
Zhan Ji Lingma looked at the opposite side in astonishment, but then he quickly raised the apple sword.
However, at this moment, several vines suddenly sprang out from under his feet and attacked. Zhan Ji Lingma was startled and immediately jumped back to avoid them by stepping on the fallen tree trunk, while at the same time swung his sword backhand to cut off the vines.
But more vines came at him from all sides.
“Why…why…!”
Zhan Ji Ling Ma tried to control the forest, while frantically swinging his sword to cut the plants around him.
However, the branches attacked him even more violently, with such a huge force that they even knocked the Golden Apple Sword out of his hand, and finally entangled him layer by layer, binding him up, just like what he did to Sid before.
"How is it possible? I——"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma realized something, and shouted at the still motionless Dark Zang Yue, "Why is the power I created with my own hands not as good as yours?"
Dark Zangetsu with dark red eyes looked up, and the unparalleled saber in his hand turned into a sonic arrow in the lightning. Then his right hand grabbed an arrow of light from the void that seemed to be condensed from lightning.
The moment the bowstring was fully drawn, the ultimate energy gathered in a line, and finally swept towards Zhan Ji Lingma who was hanging in the air by vines!
"boom!"
The arrow of light pierced through the chest of the Golden Apple Armor, and the vines that bound him were blown into pieces by this attack.
Zhan Ji Lingma let out an unwilling scream, and fell to the ground from the air, trembling and struggling, and the apple armor on his body turned into golden-red particles and dissipated.
Dark Zang Yue stared at Zhan Ji Ling Ma quietly, then drew his bow again and aimed the arrow tip with a cold glow at the man with a hateful look.
But just as he loosened his fingertips, a ray of light instantly destroyed the arrow of light in the air, and the energy aftermath of the explosion shook the entire forest.
Dark Zangetsu turned his head and looked.
What stopped him was a monster with a silver-white body.
The Dark Moon seemed to be shocked when he saw this monster, and then suddenly rushed towards him. Bai Ya reacted instantly and released a wave of energy.
wow——
Invisible energy waves were released, and Dark Zang Yue's body shook as if he was hit by a storm, but soon he disappeared on the spot like a flash of lightning.
Bai Ya concentrated and glanced sideways, and his figure flashed away the next moment, and the Dark Moon-Slashing attack fell right at his original position.
"Completely unconscious?"
Bai Ya, who appeared on the other side, said calmly: "Although I am not interested in the fight between you humans, since you are the one chosen by that guy..."
Zhan Yue's dark red eyes flickered slightly, without any response, he attacked Bai Ya again!
"boom--"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the air.
Bai Ya did not intend to use instant teleportation to avoid a head-on fight, but at this moment, the Dark Moon was chasing him relentlessly as if he had discovered his prey.
It was as if a storm had been set off, and the surrounding vines and branches were blown all over the sky by the air waves.
The two men were chasing each other at such a high speed that only a series of afterimages could be seen shuttling through the dim woods. Every collision created a dazzling flash of fire, and from time to time a wave of energy shocks erupted from the collision.
As the victor of the previous civilization, Bai Ya also possesses a golden fruit.
Although the golden fruit he absorbed has become increasingly weak with the demise of the Fimsim civilization, he is still the king of the Helm's underworld forest.
The next moment, Bai Ya appeared on the ground and swung his arm out -
At the same time, Dark Zang Yue, who appeared on the opposite side, also waved his hand, and two invisible forces rushed towards each other in an instant!
"boom--!"
The forest was shaking due to their confrontation, and the broken branches and leaves were suspended in the air, as if they were paused by an invisible hand, until the shock wave caused by the collision of the two forces swept through, and the broken wood chips were scattered like a rainstorm and nailed into the ground.
Bai Ya took a few steps back under the impact, and stared at the motionless Dark Moon on the opposite side with a little shock.
"This is the power of the Dark Fruit..."
Bai Ya raised his hand slightly, and was about to become serious in his mood which had been quiet since the death of the princess, but in the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the other side.
Dark Zangetsu also looked over at the same time.
At the place where Zhan Ji Lingma fell, the black mist formed by dark purple locusts enveloped his body. Then, a mixture of sounds that sounded like Zhan Ji Lingma's laughter, but more crazy and excited, rang out.
"I-I am immortal!"
"I am the real God!"
"I am the real golden fruit!"
"I am the master who created all this!"
Two voices shouted madly one after another. The black mist covered Zhan Ji Lingma's body, gradually distorting his face into that of another person.
That is - light gold!
……
……
"Guihu..."
"Guihu?"
"Guihu!"
A voice came from the terrible dark abyss.
Struggling unconsciously in the darkness and constantly resisting "becoming something that is not himself", Takatora Wudao seemed to be drawn and looked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Then the darkness around him, like a quagmire, began to turbulently and twisted, and instantly turned into a dump truck that rushed towards him!
wow——
Takatora Wudao suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of him squatted a man wearing a black coat, with slightly long hair tied into a bun at the back of his head and draped over his shoulders. He was currently looking at him with his chin propped up and smiling.
"...Kawahara?"
It took Wudao Guihu a long while to regain consciousness, and then he looked around: "Where is this..."
Kawahara smiled and said, "This is the Ultimate Darkness. You used the Lock Seed I left for you, so you have been devoured by this power."
Wu Daoguihu: "..."
With a dazed look on his face, Takatora Wudao spent some time recalling what had happened before.
Yes! He used the forbidden lock seed.
"Then what are you..."
Wudao Guihu suddenly remembered what Zhan Ji Lingma said at that time, and looked at the person in front of him with doubt and surprise. Although the person looked exactly the same as the person he had seen before, he felt frightened at this moment.
There was bottomless darkness before his eyes, and the man in front of him seemed to have merged into the abyss.
Kawahara then stood up and said, "Before this, I was accidentally called away by a fool, and Sengoku Reima took the opportunity to do something. But it has no effect on me. Don't forget that my lock seed has always been in you, so it just used the power in me to create a medium that can suppress the 'Gilded Fruit'."
Wudao Guihu listened thoughtfully, and at the end he couldn't help but feel a little confused: "What... Gilded Fruit?"
What kind of strange name is this?
"Ah, it's just another fake golden fruit who thinks he is a true god like Sengoku Ryoma. But don't worry about this guy. You should think more about your own situation now."
As Kawahara spoke, he raised his hand and pushed away the darkness, and the situation outside appeared in front of Wudao Guihu.
The battle between Dark Zangetsu and the Golden Apple Armor appeared from a third-party perspective. The moment he saw the hideous dark form, Takatora Wudao felt a chill.
He was controlled by this power!
That wasn't his fight at all!
"The Ultimate Darkness will infinitely amplify the fighting desire in your heart. Takatora, if you want the Golden Fruit, you must first control this power yourself." Kawahara said slowly.
"I……?"
Takatora Wudao looked at the bottomless, suffocating darkness around him.
