book of troubled times

Chapter 821 Inner Demon
If Bo Xun doesn't come out, others may really not be able to fight with two swords. Seeing his subordinates turned into corpses in an instant, Xue Xiao left without saying a word, and the phantom beast pretending to be Sisi also disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Changhe looked thoughtfully at the disappearing pattern of the phantom beast, but he actually didn't pursue it.

Cui Yuanyang came over: "Brother Zhao, do you really want to let them go? Why don't you pretend to beat them to death, and Bo Xun will come to rescue you? Won't this lead to Bo Xun..."

"That's not necessarily the case. We can't understand the cold-heartedness of the ancient demon god."

"You even scolded Sister Piaomiao. She is also an ancient demon."

Zhao Changhe tilted his head and said, "She's not very warm-hearted either."

Cui Yuanyang smiled and said: "Brother Zhao has never tested Sister Piaomiao's temperature, how do you know?"

Zhao Changhe: "?"

Is that temperature helpful? If you look at your body physically, you'll be pink everywhere, but if you cut it open, you'll be black.

Piaomiao rebelled in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Cui Yuanyang! If you keep nagging you again, I will push you back!"

Zhao Changhe looked at her red face, and the feeling in his heart became more and more strange.

Why are you so skilled at playing Yangyang? When did you practice it?
Thoughts passed by, and his hand was already on Piaomiao's forehead: "I will help you isolate yourself a little. This small environmental intrusion is not a big problem."

Zhao Changhe continued to pass on: "If you want to play the role of Yangyang, don't make such condescending comments, it will expose your flaws..."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Zhao Changhe spoke and transmitted his spiritual thoughts quietly: "Actually, I don't want to kill... I need to find the whereabouts of Han Wubing from him. Wubing has been missing for too long, and there is no news on the troubled times list. This shouldn't be... him It is impossible for such a determined swordsman to be inactive for such a long time. I suspect that he is related to Snow Owl and may be trapped here. I can sense the sword energy that Hong Ling once planted in Snow Owl. , just follow them quietly, you can't show it, you can only pretend to underestimate the enemy and let them go. "

Cui Yuanyang: "?"

"Yeah, I just want to find more experience... I was so disappointed with this before."

Piaomiao endured the strange feeling of being touched on the head and pretended to be: "Will something happen to me when I really meet Bo Xun...Brother Zhao, am I dragging you down..."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Yuanyang's eyes suddenly blurred and he touched Zhao Changhe: "Brother Zhao, I'm hot..."

If we continue to have such close contact, what will happen to our relationship...

He could only cough twice and try hard to respond to Piao Miao's topic: "Look, Annihilation was absorbed by Xue Xiao, Yin Kui died in my hands, Huang Shuang was killed by you... and was instantly killed by Piaomiao... all three of them were He is Ye Jiuyou's direct subordinate. Ye Jiuyou didn't even sigh and still cooperated with us. Bo Xun's coolness is even more outrageous than Ye Jiuyou. In their eyes, these so-called subordinates are just swords that can be replaced at any time. That’s all, you’ll only be called a loser if you die.”

"So what does this have to do with you not killing Xue Xiao? Are you really underestimating the enemy?"

As a result, he regretted it as soon as he took over. This was another scene where he was hugged tightly by Zhao Changhe, and his body was still a little warm and weak. Piaomiao was a little doubtful for a moment. Did Cui Yuanyang really couldn't stand the psychedelic magic here just now, or was he doing it on purpose?
She awkwardly broke away from Zhao Changhe's arms and tried hard to find the topic: "Killing Xue Xiao and the others will ultimately lead to the weakening of Bo Xun's force. Do you think he can't even save this?"

Piaomiao also feels that Ye Jiuyou's contact with him is not as bad as what he felt in ancient times... Anyway, Yin Kui Huangshang is destined to die, so Ye Jiuyou just doesn't care. Our current relationship is not suitable for any big hatred...

Zhao Changhe hugged her speechlessly. It seemed that Cui Yuanyang couldn't stay in this environment. Without saying a few words, he was confused by the psychedelic stimulation of this demon.

Piaomiao changed her tone helplessly: "Brother Zhao, I can't bear the illusion here anymore."

"Come back." Piaomiao took the opportunity and naturally took over the body again. It's not that I won't let this little bitch break out. This opportunity is given to you. Don't blame anyone for being too weak.

"This seems to be a fact." Zhao Changhe sighed: "Although the more I get in touch with him, the more I feel that Ye Jiuyou is completely different from what I imagined, but she should not be wronged in this regard."

Piaomiao understood and cooperated: "Then continue to practice, it's quite interesting here."

The encounter with Yue Hongling in Xiangyang was thought to have nothing to do with it, but unexpectedly it all happened here... The heroine's luck was real, and Zhao Changhe felt that it was more real than his own luck that was suspected of being arranged by a blind man.

Piaomiao said: "Is this how you treat Jiuyou? She will be angry again later."

Damn it, why can you imitate me so much? It doesn’t matter if you imitate me, but the key thing is why are you willing to say such things?

Even Zhao Changhe was in a daze for a while, and could hardly tell the difference between Piaomiao and Cui Yuanyang... If this continues, it seems that instead of studying the issue of segmentation, it is time to study the issue of fusion...

But fusion means that one of the two consciousnesses will inevitably disappear and become two different memories of one person combined together. The original mode of letting the misty consciousness dissipate and Cui Yuanyang remember the past is the best mode of reincarnation and awakening. But to this day, are you still reluctant to let Piaomiao disappear?

I don’t know... Zhao Changhe avoided thinking about this issue for a while, and reluctantly said: "Don't worry, little fool, Brother Zhao will protect you even if he fights to the death."

Piaomiao got goosebumps all over her body, and Zhao Changhe also got goosebumps all over his body. The two of them were so embarrassed that they both bowed their heads and were speechless.

Zhao Changhe really couldn't care less about the increasingly weird atmosphere between him and Piaomiao, and could only force himself to focus on business.

After sensing Yue Hongling's sword energy in Snow Owl's body, I found that he had not gone far and was hiding somewhere to observe secretly. But the aura of the phantom beast pretending to be Sisi has never been sensed... This kind of phantom beast is very strange, including the ones he chopped down before and the ones that were blasted by the mist. It is very likely that they are not actual living bodies, but different soul bodies. The combination of them is nothing but meaning scattered in space.

Is there a possibility that when all similar thoughts come together, it is Bo Xun?

If so, would it have been in vain from the beginning? Bo Xun always knew that this was Piaomiao, so he might not have appeared at all... Uh... If Piaomiao knew that he was being treated like a monkey, who knows? How do you feel...

Forget it, let’s not tell her yet. Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and suddenly walked towards the stone wall.

This stone wall must be very skillful, but even Hong Ling, who had not yet broken the barrier, was able to break free, so the level should be just like that. Zhao Changhe didn't think he would be unable to deal with it now.

It's just that the moment of trance is inevitable. Xue Xiao also believed that if he looked at this stone wall, it would definitely hinder the battle, so he deliberately did not look at it at that time. Now that Xue Xiao and others are hiding far away, they should still be able to think about this thing.

The stone wall was indeed as smooth as a mirror as described by Yue Hongling. You could clearly see yourself standing in front of it, but in just an instant, the picture changed.

Yue Hongling said at the time, "I saw you" - what she saw was all the lingering memories of knowing and falling in love with Zhao Changhe. She said that if you indulge in this kind of thoughts and follow "Zhao Changhe" in the mirror, your soul will be absorbed. into the mirror. That was Yue Hongling's inner demon. This mirror saw the only flaw in her transparent sword heart, but she broke free.

It's not that Yue Hongling conquered love, she never transcended her relationship with Zhao Changhe. It's just that at that time, Yue Hongling didn't want to be bound by love. She didn't want to follow Zhao Changhe and wanted to wander the world on her own, so she didn't fall for it as if she was cheating.

That was Yue Hongling at that time, the setting sun was red, and it was irresistible. But if Yue Hongling looks at this mirror now, her performance may not be as good as it was then. This thing is not about how advanced you are in cultivation...

What Zhao Changhe saw now was Yue Hongling.

When they first met Yue Hongling, she came to the rescue when she was at her weakest, and then sat behind her, looking at her slender and straight back, with her ponytail brushing her cheeks, as she galloped towards Luojiazhuang in the sunset.

That was the first moment in this world, and it was also the most helpless, weakest, and most dependent on others since time travel. It was much more serious than any other moments. Then it was magnified a thousand times at this moment, spreading unexpectedly into the heart, filled with weakness and dependence, with almost no other thoughts. Inner demons abound and have affected consciousness.

If Zhao Changhe was conscious at this moment, he would know that this is actually the most dangerous moment in his life, and it comes so unexpectedly!

It's a pity that when the consciousness is not clear, all wisdom, ability and will are fake and cannot be used at all...

No matter who was asked to predict, they would all think that Zhao Changhe's inner demon was the same as Yue Hongling's love or desire. No one thought that Zhao Changhe's inner demon would actually be such a thing! I'm afraid even Bo Xun, who was watching, was surprised.

In a daze, he saw Yue Hongling reaching out to him, as if to pull him onto the horse's back: "Come, sit here, sister."

Zhao Changhe, who was confused, slowly stretched out his hand.

Once touched, at worst, the soul will be sucked out, leaving only an empty body; at worst, the temperament will change drastically, and the inner demon will dominate, turning into an extremely weak person.

Just when Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand tremblingly, the sword energy burst out from behind him, and there was another invisible ripple covering the sea of ​​consciousness, which stung his soul like a needle.

Snow Owl makes a sneak attack and Bo Xun appears!
We must ensure that even if Zhao Changhe can break away from the illusion of the stone wall, he must still kill with a last hit.

From beginning to end, the biggest trap is the stone wall itself! Anything else was just a sign of weakness, making Zhao Changhe think that Bo Xun's territory was nothing more than this, and he lost his guard against the stone wall visible to everyone.

However, at the moment when the assassination of the two men was about to happen, Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped extending his hand in a dazed and trembling manner, his eyes returned to clarity, and he turned around and slashed wildly with his left and right swords.

The Snow Owl rolled around in embarrassment, and the extremely violent sword light rushed over him, blasting a huge rock in the distance into ashes.

At the same time, the ripples of Bo Xun spread out, and the force was weak.

Voices came from all directions in the air: "You... are full of inner demons, how can you break free?"

"you guess?"

No one could see that Zhao Changhe's sea of ​​consciousness was entangled in circles of chains. Neither the waves nor the peculiarity of the stone wall could break the defense of the chains.

——The heart and soul chain given by Ying Wu was originally thought to be used when fighting Han Chi, but it turned out that it was not used and was used here.

I have long heard Hong Ling talk about the appearance of this stone wall. How could Zhao Changhe carelessly look at it without taking relevant precautions? Before looking at the stone wall, I gave myself a tortoise shell binding, and it really came in handy.

But what Zhao Changhe didn't expect was that when the hallucinations of the stone wall invaded, there was actually another vast and ethereal aura protecting his soul. Even if the soul chain was not effective enough, this aura could still protect him to a small amount of clarity.

It only takes a small amount of sobriety to give him enough willpower to break free from the hallucinations and suppress all the distractions from his inner demons. That is the protection given to the King of Humanity by the energy of mountains and rivers today... In reality, it is Piaomiao who is protecting Zhao Changhe, and this kind of protection is only effective for a few people such as Xia Chichi and Zhao Changhe. Even Piaomiao can be passive even if he dies. Take effect.

Zhao Changhe didn't have time to sigh, he suddenly shouted loudly and thrust his sword into the void in front of him.

Space is split, dimensions are broken!

No matter what form Bo Xun is in, this kind of attack will always be effective... If Piaomiao suddenly makes a flank attack at this time, it will be enough for Bo Xun to eat a pot!
As a result, the shadow in front flickered, and the Galaxy Sword stabbed into the air. Bo Xun's existence seemed to be completely powerless for some unknown reason... and Piaomiao did not rise up as expected to cooperate with the flanking attack. Snow Owl's sword over there Instead, he stabbed Piao Miao in the back.

Zhao Changhe glanced out of the corner of his eye and screamed in his heart... Piaomiao actually stood still, and it seemed that he had been invaded by the illusion of the stone wall.

How come he was freed from his inner demons, yet Piao Miao actually fell into the trap? She protected herself just now, how did she get tricked? In terms of cultivation, she is the top power of the third level of imperial realm. In terms of her mind, she has no desires and desires and is completely passive... Uh, that's not right!

Today, Piaomiao has more inner demons than anyone else. She is no longer the desireless Piaomiao she was back then! This place was her nemesis.

Zhao Changhe didn't care to give Bo Xun a finishing blow, Longque quickly turned around and swung away Xue Xiao's sword with one strike. Then he grabbed Piaomiao and tried to run away.

"Get away!" Piaomiao suddenly turned around and hit Zhao Changhe's chest with a palm.

The stone wall could not absorb her soul, but it aroused her strong inner demons. Her temperament had changed and she had become a demon possessed by hatred.

What I was worried about in the past two days has come true!
Zhao Changhe instantly changed the muscle composition of his chest and took this slap. He only heard a "click" sound in his ribs, which were slightly cracked. Zhao Changhe groaned and actually used the power of this palm to float backwards, pulling Piaomiao with him and retreating several miles away.

"King Zhao should stay!" Bo Xunxue chased after him like thunder and lightning, and was behind him in an instant: "I didn't expect that King Zhao had tried everything, but not the people around him, haha... give up, If you escape alone, you still have a chance, taking her with you is simply seeking death."

Zhao Changhe returned his sword with a strike that broke through thousands of troops, briefly hindering the pursuers for a moment, and then flew forward without saying a word. In front of him was the phantom beast that transformed into Sisi just now, blocking the way. He held Piaomiao with a ferocious expression, and struck his heart with another palm.

Taking her away is really stabbing yourself with a knife. Zhao Changhe had never thought before that something could go wrong with Piaomiao... He originally thought that she was a killer weapon used to plot against Bo Xun, but in the end, she turned into a life-killing talisman for him.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse from being under control to being truly under attack from both sides, with life hanging in the balance.

You have to know that Piaomiao alone can't be beaten by him... not to mention that he is pulling her so close to get beaten, and he can't fight back, and he is still chasing a demon who needs all his strength to win.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, his eyes extremely calm.

The more dangerous the situation, the more it stimulates his fighting spirit and even fun.

Piaomiao could never give up. She had never left her teammates behind and ran away. What's more, this body still belonged to Yangyang. How could she leave it here and run away on her own.

But first the misty problem must be solved...it's okay if you can't beat it, you have your hands on it, you have your own way.

With a slight thought in his mind, the Heavenly Book jumped out of the ring and directly protected the position where Piaomiao's palm was hitting.

The Heavenly Book, which could not be destroyed by anyone in the sky or on earth, firmly received Piaomiao's blow, and the impact caused the two of them to drift away again. At the same time, the heart-soul chain detached from Zhao Changhe's sea of ​​consciousness, penetrated into Piaomiao's body along the Piaomiao wrist held in his left hand, and soon invaded the spiritual platform, tightly entangling Piaomiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Piaomiao glared at Zhao Changhe with fierce eyes and continued to hit him with her palms, but this time there was almost no damage at all.

——Piaomiao is originally a spirit body, and all her cultivation lies in her soul. The body belongs to Cui Yuanyang, and body practice is just a stack of pure energy. Once the soul is locked, this kind of attack is no different from Zhao Changhe's small fist beating his chest...

Zhao Changhe's burst of energy came from his wrist, drilling into his meridians and sealing acupuncture points. Piao Miao's body went limp and completely lost her strength.

Bo Xun, who was chasing after him, was stunned. Who would have thought that Piaomiao, who was obviously much stronger than Zhao Changhe, would be captured alive in one round! Even if Piaomiao was unconscious at this time and could not avoid the heart and soul chains in time, the changes in this moment were too outrageous.

Blood spilled from the corner of Zhao Changhe's mouth. He endured the pain of slightly cracked ribs. He adjusted his posture and carried Piao Miao on his back. He slashed the phantom beast blocking the road in front with his knife and fled.

In the misty sea of ​​consciousness, Cui Yuanyang, who was affected by the disaster and tied up tightly together with the fish, watched all this quietly. He was clearly in an extremely dangerous place, but his eyes were full of nostalgia.
