honor me as god

Chapter 927 Blood Feud

(Two in one big chapter, today and tomorrow together)
"The above is the story of the ninth chapter of "The Years of the Past."

Shangguan Xue closed the book and said, "Okay, the bedtime story is over, let's go to bed quickly."

Shangguan Ba ​​was lying on the bed covered with a small quilt, with an unsatisfactory expression on his face: "Sister, there is still the last tenth chapter, did you tell me the ending."

Shangguan Xue tapped Shangguan Ba's head lightly with a book, and said angrily, "No, are you still going to sleep? My sister's term of office ends today, and we will leave here early tomorrow morning. Don't let me down by then." bed."

Shangguanba pursed his lips, wrapped the quilt tightly, and turned over to face the wall.

Shangguan Xue put away the books and began to count the arranged salutes to make sure nothing was missed.

The night was extremely quiet, with only the occasional rustling sound.

Heavy books are often a big burden when moving house.

But at this time, Shangguanxue put a whole set of "The Years of the Past" into the suitcase.

Shangguan has always been a dull person, and the long-term depression under Ye Lingchen made her think that she had lost her feelings.

Later, by chance, she read this great book. The rise and curtain call of the era in the book are thrilling, and the love story is even more exciting.

A cold-blooded and ruthless devil, an angel with a pure heart, the two protagonists fell in love with each other deeply at the beginning, and later parted ways, fell in love and killed each other, and the warmth they once had was gone.

Whether it's the first reading or revisiting, Shangguan Xue's eyes will get wet every time, so even if she is about to embark on a journey, she is going to put these books in her luggage as a souvenir.

At this time, Shangguan Ba's faint voice sounded: "Sister, there are a few things I didn't understand. Why did the angels and demons in the book hurt each other like the last one? Didn't they all love each other before?"

Looking at the beautiful cover of the book, Shangguanxue said deeply, "Because love is our strongest emotion."

"When a person's love is not responded to, he will feel unprecedented agitation and emptiness, and then use aggressive methods to hurt the other party, wanting to prove that he has gotten rid of love."

Shangguan Ba ​​turned over, looked at his sister's back and asked, "Then why did the devil burn down the angel's most cherished home?"

Shangguanxue's fingers flicked across the two embracing figures on the cover: "Because, people who love each other in this world are generally like this. A person who once loved you the most often knows better than anyone else the way to hurt you most deeply. You."

Shangguan Ba ​​lowered his eyes and looked extremely lonely: "But the book says that the ultimate goal of the devil is to get the angel back. Since you want her to come back, why do you want to do such an outrageous thing?"

Shangguan Xue's eyes were slightly blurred, and he murmured: "Because a devil is not a human being, and his thinking is inherently different from that of ordinary people."

"In the devil's concept - since you leave me for something else, then I will take everything from you. As long as you have nothing and nowhere to go, you can only return to me in the end."

"But the devil doesn't know that what he did will be turned into scars and will be engraved on the other party's heart forever. The angel will only be full of hatred in pain, drift away from him, and never look back."

Shangguan Ba ​​closed his eyes, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "So, who is at fault in this book?"

Shangguan Xue closed the box and completely sealed "The Years of the Past": "From their respective standpoints and goals, both angels and demons are right."

"But before that, they all made the same mistake—"

Shangguanba opened his eyes, waiting for his sister's next words.

Shangguan Xue's eyes were deep and vicissitudes, and she said all the answers quietly: "They shouldn't have met each other from the very beginning."

In the second half of the night, the snow in Wangcheng was getting bigger and bigger, and it was full of snow shadows in the distance. Occasionally, lights were lit, and the shimmering light and strands of snowflakes adorned this ancient city together.

Tonight is the last night for Shangguan siblings to stay in Wangcheng. Previously, Shangguanxue and Nicole made an appointment to stay for one more month. Now that the time has come, she also submitted her resignation letter to Solandelle early and got permission to leave.

Tomorrow morning, she will take Shangguanba to leave the royal city, leave Dogland, find a small mountain village that does not belong to any country and will not be disturbed by any forces, and spend her life peacefully.

The last night is always difficult to sleep, whether it is the confusion about the future lingering in my heart, or the stories in the book make it difficult to calm down for a long time, the siblings cannot fall asleep late at night.

Shangguan Xue counted the luggage tirelessly to make sure nothing was missing, while Shangguan Ba ​​tossed and turned on the bed, sighing from time to time.

Shangguan Ba ​​was really curious about the final ending of "The Years We Gone", so he got up and begged Shangguan Xue: "Sister, I really can't sleep, so you can tell me the last one."

Shangguan Xue put away her things, suddenly her expression froze, and she froze in place.

Shangguanba thought his sister was angry, so he quickly lay back down again: "Forget it, forget it. Tell me next time, it's fine."

"Hush." ​​Shangguan Xue made a silent gesture.

It was only then that Shangguan Ba ​​realized that his sister's expression was dignified, a little unusual.

Shangguan Xue blew out the candle lamp, and the room was plunged into darkness. She leaned against the window, closed her eyes and listened carefully, as if she was catching something.

However, she didn't know if the wind and snow were too strong, she couldn't hear the abnormal movement that appeared and disappeared just now.

After a while, Shangguan Xue picked up the luggage containing the dry food, ignored the other clothes, and directly lifted Shangguan Ba's quilt, and said solemnly, "Let's go, let's go now."

Shangguan Ba ​​was a little confused: "Ah? Isn't it tomorrow morning?"

"What nonsense, hurry up!" Shangguanxue slapped his younger brother's big head, and just about to pull him up, his expression froze again, and he turned his head to look at the window, his eyes flashed unprecedented vigilance.

Not an illusion.

Someone is approaching through the wind and snow!

Not just one.
The residence is surrounded!

Shangguan Xue made a decisive decision, quickly grabbed the flower umbrella beside the bed, drew a circle on the ground that could accommodate the two of them, and then dragged Shangguan Ba ​​in.

She took out the spare talisman in her bosom, and the surface of the talisman instantly ignited a strange fire under the power of yin and yang, and the incantation came out from her mouth: "Climbing rocks are cracked, give me God's footsteps, travel thousands of miles in all directions, move!"

Shrinking Earth, an advanced spell in Yin Yang, can turn distance into nearness, allowing people in the circle to move across space.

Now that the other party's intention is unknown, Shangguan Xue doesn't care whether she is embarrassed or not, so she escapes first, she doesn't want anything to happen the day before her retreat.

Sometimes, however, reality can be so malicious.

Not too early, not too late, on the eve of freedom, fate dealt a heavy blow to Shangguanxue.

As an advanced spell, the Earth Shrinking Technique cannot take effect instantly even with the magic power of Shangguan Xue, and it takes at least ten seconds to cast the spell to transfer two people at the same time.

It was this short ten seconds that destroyed Shangguan Xue's hope of escaping from birth.

"Boom!" The ceiling of the bedroom collapsed suddenly, and a crimson figure swooped down, heading straight for Shangguanxue.

Shangguanxue reacted very quickly, while maintaining the ground shrinking technique, he activated the heart seal, and released a yin-yang barrier around his body without chanting mantras.

In the next instant, a roar that could hardly be distinguished from a human or a dragon resounded in all directions. Dragon fire surged all over the body of the assailant, and blazing brilliance bloomed in the dark night. Armor-like scales grew out of his right hand amidst the twisting sound, and it turned into a Dragon Claws.

"Boom!" The dragon's claws grabbed the Yin-Yang barrier, blasting a scorching dragon fire, and the spider web-like cracks spread to the entire area of ​​the barrier. Under Shangguan Xue's desperate gaze, the defensive barrier instantly shattered and returned to nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon claw pierced through the yin and yang energy fragments all over the sky, and directly pinched Shangguan Xue's throat.

"Boom!" Shangguan Xue felt a severe overweight feeling all over her body, and then a heavy blow came from her back, and she was pressed hard against the wall.

The tight suffocation in her throat and the intense pressure on her back made it hard to breathe and she couldn't move. She opened her eyes with difficulty, and finally saw the true face of the comer, and the two shoulders that symbolized "King" respectively. "Left Hand" and "King's Blade" emblems.

Shangguan Ba ​​became impatient when he saw his sister was injured. The 8-year-old kid didn't care about the difference in strength, grabbed the black iron double hammers in the corner and rushed forward: "Don't bully my sister!!!"

"哐!" Lorna's left hand also entered a partial real dragon form. The dragon claws crushed the indestructible black iron double hammers like tofu, pierced through the iron plates all over the sky, pinched Shangguanba's cheek, and pressed his huge body to the ground. on the ground.

After Lorna subdued the Shangguan siblings, the door of the bedroom was knocked open, and the fully armed imperial guards entered one after another, looking at them vigilantly.

"Tap, tap, tap" sounded oppressive footsteps.

Solandelle, whose clothes were covered with frost and snow, walked in, looking at the Shangguan siblings with those azure blue eyes, her eyes were unprecedentedly cold, piercing to the bone.

Soon, under Shangguan Xue's astonished gaze, a familiar figure was pushed in.

I saw Nicole fell heavily on the ground, her whole body was bound by ropes, unable to move, her hands and feet were broken, and she couldn't get up when she fell on the ground, coughing blood non-stop.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Xue's heart suddenly turned cold.

Previously, Chino had cast a dark shadow in Feiyuan Province, and the news was strictly blocked by the Cardinal Guards. In this era, the communication technology is not developed, and Shangguanxue, who was in the royal city, did not know about this appalling incident.

But seeing Solandelle's expression, Shangguanxue guessed that there was probably something happening on Kino's side.

Solandelle couldn't catch Kino for a while, so she came to catch them who had been with Kino.

Shangguan Xue was pinned by Lorna and was speechless, and she didn't dare to resist, otherwise she would probably be interrupted like Nicole. She could only pat Lorna's hand that turned into a dragon's claw, and begged someone to speak with her eyes. Opportunity.

An onmyoji who is close to him has no combat effectiveness, not to mention Shangguanxue's level, no matter how hard she tries, she can't hurt the dragon knight of the sixth sequence. Lorna also lowered the force of the throat lock. .

"Hiss." Shangguan Xue finally caught her breath. She looked at Solandelle with cold eyes, and comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, I won't run away."

Solandelle didn't say anything, she put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and slowly drew out the sword to reach Shangguan Xue's carotid artery, her eyes were full of murderous intent.

The cold and sharp touch made Shangguan Xue's complexion pale, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful at this moment, why did she agree to Nicole's request to stay for one more month?

If she had left a month ago, now she and Shangguanba are already sitting in the courtyard of the small village counting the stars, how could they be reduced to the current situation.

On the eve of the beginning of a new life, a person's willpower is often the most vulnerable, and the desire to survive will be unprecedentedly strong.

Shangguan Xue, who had always been calm, couldn't stop trembling at this time, and pleaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a leader for the wrong, and the debtor! If Kino did something, you go to him, what's the use of venting your anger on us?" "

"Tomorrow, my brother and I will leave Dogorand and leave your sight forever. It is no different from death. You will never see us upset again in your life!"

"So... please give us a way out, at least give my brother a way out. His intelligence is still at the age of 8, he is a child who can't grow up, don't you have the heart to kill the child?"

The blade on the neck was getting tighter and tighter, and Shangguanxue even wondered if it had cut through the skin, and could cut open the fragile arteries at any time.

Everything that should be said has been said, whether it is life or death, the fate is completely in the hands of the unknown queen in front of her, Shangguan Xue can only close her eyes, like a prisoner waiting for trial.

I don't know how long it took, but as the pressure gradually weakened, Shangguan Xue could clearly feel the blade move away.

At the same time, Solandelle's cold voice sounded: "Oh, kill you?"

Shangguanxue looked over in shock, and the expression on Solandelle's face remained unchanged, she was still ruthless, but her sword had been lowered, and she said coldly, "Nicole was beaten like this because she used violent means to fight against arrest. , the imperial guard's attack is legal."

"The monarchy is empowered by the law, and the rule is under the law. The law only discusses deeds, not the heart." Solandelle was like a machine without emotion, describing the principles of the general chapter of the Code Amendment, "Even if I really want to You go to die, but as long as you do not violate the law in any way, let alone kill you, even if you beg me to stab the sword into your throat, I will not do so."

After declaring Shangguan Xue's "innocence", Solandelle tapped Lorna's dragon claw with the blade of her sword, and the latter released Shangguan's sister and brother, and the dragon claw returned to its original appearance in the vast steam.

Solandelle broke the rope on Nicole's body with a sword, and ordered people to throw the bruised girl into Shangguanxue's arms.

Shangguanxue hugged Nicole and helped her check her injuries in shock. Although her hands and feet were broken, fortunately she did not hurt her vitals and her life would not be in danger.

Solandelle looked down at the three people lying on the ground, and said in a chilly voice, "As you said, the crimes committed by Chino have nothing to do with you, so you won't be punished in any way, and I won't go wherever you want. stop."

"However, please do me a favor. If you encounter Kino, please tell him—"

Solandelle clenched her teeth tightly, blood oozed from between her teeth due to too much force, her azure blue eyes faded from the clarity of the past, burning with an unprecedented fire of hatred: "From today on, no matter where he goes , I will chase him to the end of the world until he deserves the death he deserves!"
