Chapter 796 Seeking the Way to Become the King, Black Gun Kills Red Gun

Bai Yu considers himself to be a master of pretentiousness.

There is no way. Since childhood, he has been shaped by various martial arts novels, movies, and TV dramas. In addition, he is also an old second-dimensional person, so he is naturally infected by the second-year atmosphere in Japanese works.

Every time he encounters a big scene, he will subconsciously start to pretend.

Strictly speaking, pretentiousness is also a part of momentum.

Life and death confrontations also require the general trend and the first move.

Whoever has more pretentiousness can put more psychological pressure on the other party.

This is why when the masters in the fantasy world appear on the stage, even their words will echo, with a nose upturned and a few words, and after being defeated, they will immediately change their faces and slide to their knees.

People who know how to pretend even have to bring a set poem like "Red Spear, Immortal Shield, Cut off the Immortal King and Destroy the Nine Heavens" to set the atmosphere.

The poem in the puppet show world is the same. It is both a summary and an introduction, and it also sets off the momentum.

However, those who pretend to be so will always be a little bit deliberate.

If they are not strong enough, they will end up like An who refuses to reveal his name, and become an enduring joke.

When a true peerless master appears, he usually comes without any disturbance, just like the first breeze that announces the change of seasons, leaving no trace or trace.

The moment you realize it, it may be the moment your head falls to the ground.

…

The scarlet spear pierced the earth silently.

When the servant of God realized it, he only saw a scarlet magic spear piercing the ground, and his body had silently broken a huge wound.

Mars lowered his head and could see the scene behind him through the window on his chest.

He was stabbed to death at the first sight.

He didn't even feel when he was attacked.

Even the person who was killed didn't realize it.

This is the magic spear that is bound to hit... the magic spear that pierces the dead thorns.

After that, Scathach's voice slowly rang through the snow and wind that froze the earth, through the overlapping shadows.

"Leave now, you can live ten more seconds."

Ten seconds, very short.

In just ten seconds, even if Mars wanted to fight back and exchange his life with Bai Yu, he would definitely not be able to do it.

But ten seconds are also very long.

It was enough for Mars to recall his long life in a short period of time.

He was originally a prince of a small country, but as a mixed-race child, he was discriminated against and never received any attention from the royal family. Instead, he was abandoned in the cold palace as a burden, without even food, and could only rely on catching some insects and birds to fill his stomach.

His misfortune began in childhood, and when the small country was destroyed by Rome, he was also captured as a trophy, and then he was a slave for nearly thirty years. Because he could not bear the humiliation, he killed the nobles and became a desperate fugitive.

He spent his whole life rolling in the quagmire of misfortune, but life did not kill him. Instead, it made him stronger and stronger. Later, he became an apostle of the Outer God. From then on, his life took a turn. Everything became smoother and smoother. He even got the opportunity to go to the Star Palace and became a servant of God.

And now, he is about to die.

But he did not regret dying on this road.

When he became a desperado, he ran forward like crazy, and ran all the way until he was exhausted. He arrived at a barren land, where there was nothing but an extremely magnificent starry sky.

He embraced the starry sky in that wilderness and got the mission given to him for life.

Mars stretched out his hand as if in the wound on his chest, grabbed the hard-beating heart, and suddenly poured in the majestic elemental power.

He murmured.

"Everything is dedicated to the Supreme Will!"

He blew himself up.

The violent elemental energy spread.

Bai Yu dragged his weak body backwards, pulling away half a street.

He turned his head and looked at the arm that was dragging his collar.

Scathach could pick him up easily across the space, just like picking up a cat.

Bai Yu thought and asked: "Why are you here..."

He touched his pocket and found that the stone with the rune engraved on it had been broken.

Yes, this thing is not a hard material.

He was hit by a forbidden spell, and the rune was placed in the pocket behind his buttocks, so it was naturally crushed directly.

Scathach said: "You are seriously injured, come back here to heal first."

Bai Yu paused, shook his head and said: "The capital of Longdong is covered by the shadow world, and the other party must have other goals. Give me half an hour, and I can at least recover 70% of my combat power."

Without waiting for Scathach to answer, Bai Yu realized that something was wrong at this time.

If the pseudo-canonized saint chose to self-destruct, the explosion range would be too small. Even if Bai Yu himself, if he risked his life and chose not to self-destruct, at least all the buildings within a radius of thirty miles could be destroyed, which was no less than the Shinra Tensei that was fully renewed.

Obviously, Mars's self-destruction was an illusion, it was not self-destruction... or in other words, it was not aimed at killing!

So what would the goal be?

Bai Yu's mind was spinning. He looked back and saw the space channel opened behind him. He immediately shouted, "Master, pull me in!"

When she heard Bai Yu's voice, Scathach had already taken action. She was about to pull Bai Yu back through the air, but she felt a sense of alienation, as if a smoothly running machine suddenly stopped and got stuck.

This must be caused by a foreign object inserted into the running gear.

Who is interfering?

Scathach silently added some strength, intending to use brute force to forcibly break through and tear the space.

But the next moment, only a ray of light was seen lighting up from the nine heavens, the streams of light intertwined, the stars were shining, and countless stars were woven and intertwined, passing through layers of dark clouds, breaking through and separating the entire atmosphere above the midwinter.

The vortex of infinite starlight converged to the center. Even the shadows everywhere became dim under the swagger of starlight.

This macro scene was reflected in Bai Yu's eyes.

He felt like a fish frozen in ice, unable to do anything except for the strange light flashing in his dead eyes.

He just watched the starlight converge towards the ground, forming an inverted triangle, like an inverted cone.

But the closer it got to the ground, the faster the starlight dissipated, as if it was restricted by some force.

When it arrived in front of Bai Yu, it was only the size of a fist.

And the starlight turned into the shape of a hand.

——My life is over!

Bai Yu thought he was done for this time.

At this distance, he couldn't avoid it.

And Scathach didn't react either, not because she didn't want to save him, but because she couldn't.

Those who can do this are definitely not the saints, but the monsters sitting on the starry sky... Perhaps those who have achieved the ultimate in external manifestation and manifested the top extraordinary people in the starry world.

That is no longer sainthood, but gods.

It was the outer gods of the Star Palace who took action personally!

In fact, Bai Yu's guess was correct.

Mars did not self-destruct meaninglessly, but used his remaining life as a sacrifice.

He is the servant of the Outer God, and has been favored by the Outer God.

God's favor has always been a double-edged sword, with good and bad sides. The bad side is to be a dog for the God, and the good side is that the benefit of being a dog for the God means that there is a God above your head.

Mars has been on duty in the Star Palace for so many years and is a loyal old servant.

He is qualified to pay the price of his life and invite an opportunity for the Outer God to take action.

In front of the Outer God, Bai Yu is powerless to resist.

Whenever that hand touches his head lightly, it will leave a cute feeling.

He can go straight to reincarnation.

But.

Bai Yu overestimates himself a little.

How could the Outer God take action to wipe him out?

The outrageousness of doing so is like using a nuclear bomb just to blow up a shameful whale.

Mars died not for revenge, but to carry out the mission given by the outer gods. His goal was never to kill Bai Yu, but to fulfill his duties.

What is the duty?

It is to open the passage to the Kingdom of Shadows!

The cold little hand formed by the gathering of starlight passed over Bai Yu's shoulder and gently poked the space passage half a foot behind him.

In an instant, the space was torn, penetrated, and widened!

The seven walls of the Kingdom of Shadows were all pierced in a snap of a finger!

The heavy walls are not only a physical creation, but also mean isolation in space, a conceptual severance.

In the myths and legends of Midwinter, the Kingdom of Shadows symbolizes the underworld. Scathach manages the Kingdom of Shadows to prevent all living people from entering the underworld. Her throne is a position established based on the existence of the magic world of the Kingdom of Shadows.

The king is different from the seeker. There are only so many thrones in the world, just like the positions of the six ministers, one carrot, one pit.

Now, the road to the Kingdom of Shadows has been opened, and the seven walls were pierced through by a finger of the Outer God.

This directly and violently shook the foundation of the throne!

The Kingdom of Shadows inevitably ushered in a violent earthquake.

...

On the other side.

The confrontation between the two holy domains did not last too long.

The winner was actually decided in less than ten seconds from the beginning.

The winner was immediately judged.

It was just because Lyudmila was so stubborn that she relied on a dragging and pulling style to delay the collapse.

She could not save the situation of defeat, but she also understood what the word "delay" meant.

No matter what Xiu wanted to do, it would be a good thing if she could keep the opponent here for one more second.

And the time came to the node of the fifteenth minute.

Lyudmila was exhausted, her breath was weak, and she took a step back.

The brilliance in her eyes also dimmed quickly.

She sighed: "I lost."

Xiu silently took back the majestic world behind him, and the shadow converged. He said calmly: "I wanted to defeat you in ten seconds, but you are smart. What you learned in these fifteen minutes is enough for you to ponder for a hundred years."

"A hundred years?" Lyudmila looked pale but raised her head confidently: "Give me another fifty years, I can catch up with you now!"

Xiu said calmly: "Maybe, but after today, maybe there will be no me... No matter what, you will not have the opportunity to avenge your previous shame."

Lyudmila asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

Xiu turned and left: "King."

He raised his head and looked at the grand scene of the gathering of stars, and disappeared silently.

Lyudmila clenched her fists, slowly bit her wrist, suppressing her inner unwillingness.

...

Boom boom——!

Thunder rolled between the dark clouds, and the sky of Shadow Country, which was always covered with dark clouds, cracked one after another, just like the earth that dried up due to lack of water. In the corridor of Shadow Country, which alternated between light and dark, no one could be seen.

This was a building built a long time ago, and in this earthquake, more than half of it collapsed directly.

Ta-ta-ta...

Suddenly, a footstep echoed on the empty road of Shadow Country.

This is the Demon Realm outside the Human World covered with ice and snow. The destroyed seven walls are like round arches at this time, opening a road to the deepest part.

Xiu, wearing a round felt hat and holding a long stick like a dead tree in his hand, walked slowly along this snow-covered road. He had just experienced a battle with the icy Valkyrie, and the corners of his clothes were still stained with some ice fragments, but this did not affect his demeanor.

Although he was a visitor walking in the wind and snow, he did not look embarrassed at all.

He stretched out his hand and gently tapped the city wall, recalling that he had also learned skills here more than two hundred years ago. At that time, there were several people who came with him. However, the former friends had turned into a handful of yellow earth, and the past could not be retrieved, while the city wall still stood here, having gone through countless years.

He passed through seven walls and came to the door of the Shadow Kingdom.

This door had no name and was as simple as all the buildings in the Shadow Kingdom.

But it was the core of the Shadow Kingdom. Behind this door was the underworld, and also the shadow vortex of the entire world.

Xiu knew that as long as he came here, he would be able to see that person.

Sure enough, in front of the door... The purple-haired woman stood sideways, waiting for the arrival of the arrival, two bright red magic guns stuck in the ground, her hands were empty, and the tights had already appeared on the traces of leakage, and there was blood flowing.

The white snow fell like catkins, landing on her shoulders and staining her hair. She stood there with bright colors that should not exist in this dead place.

Scathach, the queen of the Shadow Kingdom, the teacher who taught countless heroes.

Xiu slowly said: "Long time no see... Master."

"Xiu Laidin." Scathach reported his name: "I didn't expect to meet you at this time. You look very mature."

"Old is old." Xiu pressed his hat and said: "It's been more than two hundred years."

"...Really?" Scathach showed a little surprise: "It's been so long."

Xiu suppressed his emotions and continued: "Master is the same as always, everything looks fine."

Scathach glanced at the broken city walls and the mess of the Shadow Kingdom: "Can this scene be called safe in your opinion?"

She shook her head and sighed, her eyes swept lightly.

Scathach's appearance is actually quite outstanding, and the color of her eyes is also quite charming purple-red, but her expression and temperament always make people unconsciously forget these, as if she was born without color, and even those beautiful eyes are cold and indifferent.

Even when facing a disciple who has not seen her for more than 200 years, Scathach's attitude changes very quickly.

"Just now, the Outer God broke through the seven walls of the Shadow Kingdom. It takes some time to wait for its automatic recovery, and you are here now. The timing is unexpected. I don't think you are here to reminisce with me, right?"

Xiu Laiding replied: "I am here to challenge you."

"Just a challenge?" Scathach asked.

"No." Xiu said word by word: "I want to ascend the throne."

"Okay." Scathach nodded: "From this moment on, you and I are fighting for life and death."

She was not angry, nor angry, and she did not scold the other party as a traitor.

On the contrary, Scathach was looking forward to it.

She taught many disciples, but only a few had the courage to kill her and seize the throne of Shadow Kingdom.

Therefore, Scathach was actually a little happy at this time.

Of course... she was also a little speechless and angry.

If the other party challenged her to seize the throne openly, she would gladly open the way to Shadow Kingdom.

But it happened to be with the help of the Outer Gods.

At this time, Shadow Kingdom was disrupted by the Outer Gods, just like the holy domain of canonization was broken, the small world was completely exposed to the outside, and it was full of cracks.

Scathach is a king, and her power comes from the Shadow Kingdom, so she is already in a state of low health, even slightly broken.

But she cannot refuse the challenge.

At this point, no one can stop.

She has no reason to be afraid or retreat.

Scathach thought silently in her heart... maybe today will be her death.

If the walls of the Shadow Kingdom are not broken, she really can't think of how she will lose.

Scathach's left and right hands hold two magic guns.

They look at each other at a distance of twenty steps.

It seems to be back to his youth, when Xiu first came to the Shadow Kingdom and saw the queen sitting on the throne.

Even though a long time has passed, it is one of the few unforgettable scenes in his life... Perhaps it is more profound than when he was dressed in fine clothes, riding a horse, and achieving success and fame, and having a wedding night.

Because Xiu knew in his heart that it was a peak that he had to spend his whole life to cross.

Now is the time to verify what I have learned throughout my life and what I have accumulated over hundreds of years...

"Master Scathach... please witness my hard work for more than two hundred years."

Xiu Laiding held the dry staff in his hand and squeezed it hard. The black outer skin broke open, revealing the body of the staff. It was a spear, black in color, and the bright red lines flowing on it were breathing like blood.

"I will show the ultimate of this world today!"

...

"Ah, damn it..."

Bai Yu pushed away the stones, wardrobes and prefabricated boards on his body, climbed up, and covered his head: "Hiss, my head hurts."

He didn't die.

When the outer gods broke the wall of the Shadow Kingdom, Bai Yu was repelled several kilometers away by the aftermath of the spreading power.

He lay there for a full ten minutes before he regained consciousness. His head was buzzing before, like a machine in an overclocked state that had crashed and had a blue screen.

This was not only due to the concussion, but also because the Star Avenue in his body was stimulated by the attack of the Outer God, and was accelerating the version update.

Many things can be learned just by seeing them.

This is normal, right?

Bai Yu drank a big red bottle for himself, and wanted to get up immediately to see what was happening at the entrance of the passage, but after thinking about it, he still found a corner to hide.

At this time, the incident was still ongoing.

Although the two servants of God were killed, there were still two Outer God lackeys left.

[Current progress: 5/7]

What if there is another servant of God.

"I'm in a very bad state, I'll stabilize my hand first and buy some goods first..."

He remembered that there were a few things in the previous Destiny Store, which were just useful at this time.

...

"The passage to the Shadow Kingdom has been opened, but the price is too high. We have lost more than half of our manpower. What should we do next?"

"Capture Bai Yujing and get the Sun that Never Sets. Only it can take us through the underworld!"
