Chapter 519 Death Intention
In the end, Coyote still didn't say who the enemy was.

Perhaps it was because Du Chengfeng's current condition was really difficult to pull out for action, or perhaps Coyote felt that he could really handle it on his own. In short, no matter how Du Chengfeng asked, he couldn't get any useful information.

Du Chengfeng's face looked very bad until he came out of the coyote's cave.

"Am I really too weak now?"

This was undoubtedly the situation that Du Chengfeng could not accept the most.

He could accept that his food, clothing, housing and transportation were not very good, and he could also accept the hardships and difficulties that lay ahead. He was a person who could go with the flow and there was nothing he could not accept - but there was one thing he absolutely could not accept, and that was that he was too weak.

The so-called going with the flow actually has a basis. Du Chengfeng's basis is his own abilities. As long as his abilities are still there and as long as he is strong enough, he will always have the ability to change everything around him, and he will naturally have enough confidence in his heart.

And now, the coyote's attitude inside and out clearly suggests that he is too weak.

Because he is too weak, he is not yet strong enough to participate in the fight with other powerful beings.

Because I am too weak, I don’t even have the qualifications to know.

"Ah! This beast!"

The more he endured, the more he thought about it, the more at a disadvantage; the more he took a step back, the angrier he got. Du Chengfeng really couldn't figure out where he was weak, so he immediately turned back and fought with the coyote to test his strength.

But before he flew a few feet, Du Chengfeng's figure stopped in mid-air.

"What he said...is correct."

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng slapped his head.

If he was really strong enough, then he wouldn't have to find ways to prove himself. After all, strong is strong, and strength doesn't need any proof - but now, just now, he actually had the urge to prove himself, and even wanted to rush over and fight with the coyote at the critical moment when he was preparing for battle.

This behavior can indeed vent his emotions, but it is of no use in solving the problem itself.

Or in other words, this behavior can only resolve the unrest in his heart.

"My mood is unstable..."

Thinking back to what the coyote said, Du Chengfeng finally understood the meaning.

Not to mention being lured by the enemy, right now he doesn't even know the enemy's name, and he's already starting an internal fight. With this kind of state of mind, how can he possibly do anything good?
“You still have to have the right attitude.”

Du Chengfeng returned to his cave and sat back by the pond.

Although there were no fish in the pond, just looking at the rippling water in the pond could calm his mind.

It can also slightly reduce the influence of the three turbidities on him.

After all, he is not in the illusion created by the old fisherman at the moment. The power of the three turbidities is not suppressed. Naturally, his thoughts will inevitably become extreme - greed will make him full of desire, anger will make his emotions fluctuate, and infatuation will make him close his eyes and rush all the way on the road to death.

The three turbidities seem to be three separate parts, but when they occur they complement each other.

Greed will stimulate anger, anger will lead to infatuation, infatuation will purify anger, and it will also purify greed... If you are not careful, your thoughts will be shaken unconsciously by the power of these three turbidities, making you self-righteous and start to act recklessly.

Just like what happened outside just now, if he was really arrogant enough to rush over and fight with the coyote, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, we are facing a powerful enemy.

"Fortunately, I came back quickly."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was the right thing for the coyote not to let him participate in the battle. After all, his biggest opponent at the moment was not that unknown powerful being.

But it is the three turbidities themselves that are entangled with him.

"So...is there any way to suppress the three turbidities?"

Looking at the waves in the pond, Du Chengfeng immediately thought of what the old fisherman had done.

That is, directly construct a clean environment.

When all the extraordinary powers are suppressed, the so-called three turbidities will no longer exist. Du Chengfeng still remembers that when he was in the jungle, although he was turned into a monkey and lost all his strength, he also felt a long-lost sense of relief - as if the shackles on his body had gone away from him, and he could finally feel at ease and bold to do his best.

This feeling was quite strange. He clearly had no strength left, yet he was able to let go and exert his full strength. This was obviously a contradictory thing, but at that moment, they surprisingly appeared on him at the same time.

"So what is this? Being powerless makes you stronger?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head. This matter was a bit too outrageous.

How can one be strong without strength? This is impossible no matter how you look at it. Without strength, he is just a mortal. Whether it is evil spirit, mental strength, or incense and vows, he can easily crush mortals - if he has no strength now, he will be killed by others at any time. This is clearly a manifestation of weakness.

Therefore, you must hold on to power and you must have the ability in your hands. Only in this way can you be truly strong.

"But, is this really strong?"

Du Chengfeng frowned.

If one is obsessed with power itself, obsessed with ability itself, then is he controlling the power, or is the power controlling him?

Obviously, it's the latter.

This can be seen from his desire to prove himself just now.

He wants to prove his strength and toughness. Only by holding power itself can he get some sense of security.

This cannot be considered strong, it is clearly a sign of weakness.

He also needs to rely on external things such as strength to boost his confidence.

"Weak...too weak!"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but clench his fists.

"I am still too weak now!"

He is still relying on external things like strength. He is too weak now!

"So, what is strong?"

When Du Chengfeng thought of this question again, he already had the answer in his mind.

The confusion about strength is ultimately a confusion about weakness. Because one cannot acknowledge the existence of weakness, one cannot see the direction of becoming stronger. But when one acknowledges his weakness, the path to becoming stronger appears before him.

This is actually not a complicated matter. In fact, the things that determine strength and weakness have always been in him. It’s just that he has been blinded by power so much that he has ignored what is really important.

That is, the courage to face challenges no matter what.

As long as he has the courage to solve the problem, he can continue to fight no matter what situation he is in. Even if all his strength is gone, he can use this courage to pave a way forward for himself.

Yes, this is the root of strength and what truly determines strength.

On the contrary, power itself has become dispensable.

"Is this... the way to remove the influence of turbidity?"

Du Chengfeng came back to his senses and looked at his hands.

Nothing seemed to have changed. He could feel the turbid power still wrapped around him, ready to influence his mind and control his behavior at any time. But everything seemed to have changed a little, a little undetectable change.

His sense of turbidity became clearer.

"This feeling……"

Du Chengfeng tried to swing his hand and cut.

A scratch appeared out of thin air on the distant wall.

There seemed to be no change in the use of strength, and nothing seemed to have changed. He could even clearly feel that as he swung the knife, his murderous intent became slightly heavier - although it was only a slight one, just an impulse like "Should I find an ant to crush to death?", but he still clearly felt the change.

If you can feel and perceive it, you can take precautions.

It won't be affected.

"This kind of power..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but clench his fists.

He was not quite sure whether he was strong or weak now. After all, he didn't seem to have undergone any qualitative changes at the moment. But at this moment, Du Chengfeng inexplicably felt a sense of confidence in his heart, a confidence that he was qualified to participate in the war.

If he just now might be triggered by the power of the Three Turbidities and explode on the spot after joining the battle, then now he can at least be sure that he will not turn against his allies on the spot because of the unusual movements of the Three Turbidities.

Although it seems to be only a small step forward, for Du Chengfeng himself, it is undoubtedly a big step forward.

After all, this is no longer the difference between strong and weak, but the difference between having and not having. It is a progress from zero to one, and it is also the most difficult progress.

"So if I had understood this from the beginning..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of when he first arrived. At that time, he was truly a blank slate, without any impure power in his body. He was much cleaner than he is now - so if he had known the dangers behind these powers at the beginning, he would definitely not...

"Oh no, that's not possible either."

Du Chengfeng suddenly slapped his head when he thought of this.

It seems that it really isn't possible. Although he can now point to his past self and say that whether it was evil spirit, willpower, or power of incense and vows, they were all detours in the process of moving forward. But if he didn't rely on these powers at that time, he would have turned into a corpse directly - in fact, even now, isn't he still using these turbid powers?

Without experiencing the baptism of turbid force, you will not be able to perceive what clarity is. If you have not walked the path before, you will not have the roots under your feet now.

Turbidity is the foundation, the basis, the path we have walked, and the roots growing underground.

Qing is growth, it is also a tall building, it is a blueprint guiding the future, and it is also a towering tree standing on the roots.

Turbid and clear are like the story of a big tree.

"…The story of the big tree?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely recalled some bad memories, which quickly made him erase this impression from his mind.

Without big trees, one cannot think about big trees. He has tasted too many.

But in general, with the big tree as a reference, he fully understood the relationship between turbidity and clarity - turbidity is the source of power, and clarity is the means to control power, just like the relationship between a horse and its reins and stirrups. If you want to gallop, both are indispensable.

Yes, it is more appropriate to describe it in terms of horses, so that we don’t have to think about big trees anymore.

"so……"

When Du Chengfeng thought of this, he suddenly remembered the coyote.

If there is nothing wrong with his understanding of this power... he is being affected by the power of the Three Turbidities all the time. After all, this is part of the source of his power. And this means that the coyote, the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, is also being affected by the power of the Three Turbidities?

"It seems...it's true!"

Du Chengfeng's brows suddenly frowned.

When talking to him before, the coyote showed an attitude of "I don't need your help, I can handle it myself". Although it seemed that there was no problem at the time, but now think about it...isn't this exactly the same as his behavior of "wanting to prove that he is strong enough"?
So the question is, is this coyote really strong enough?

Obviously it is not enough. If it is really enough, there is no need to ask him to borrow the cave. This idea of ​​having three burrows can be seen as a cautious preparation for a rainy day, but it also reveals that the coyote is not so confident in the battle - because he is worried that he can't win, he arranges a retreat in advance and tries to use strategic depth to increase the tolerance rate.

"It's inconsistent..."

Du Chengfeng's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Even though he clearly anticipated that he would be at a disadvantage, Coyote still chose not to use help. This could be said to be because the helper was still entangled by the Three Turbidities, and going into battle would only have a counterproductive effect. However, this behavior itself was not the best strategy - the most reliable way was actually obvious, which was to help Du Chengfeng quickly get rid of the influence of the Three Turbidities, thereby increasing his combat power and his own chances of winning.

But the clever coyote chose the wrong answer at this critical moment.

"His judgment has also been affected by the three turbidities."

Du Chengfeng raised his head suddenly.

"The battle has already begun, but he doesn't know it yet!"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng flew out of the cave.

Yes, the battle had already begun, long before the coyote was ready, but the two sides had not yet engaged in close combat, and were still competing with each other in momentum - no, it was not necessarily even a competition of momentum, but a competition at the level of consciousness.

Obviously, the coyote was the loser in this fight.

Before the two fought in close combat, the three turbidities in the coyote's body had already been detonated. Greed, anger, and ignorance had overwhelmed the coyote's rationality and began to make wrong judgments, even those that led to death.

"This... is the intention of death."

Recalling the coyote's previous appearance, Du Chengfeng's face darkened.

It was not until this moment that he finally understood what the so-called intention to die meant.

No wonder even a strong man like that old fisherman died in despair. The impact of this death was too dangerous.

"so……"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng had already flown to the entrance of the coyote's cave.

However, this time, the scent coming from the cracks in the sky was no longer the smell of soil from the jungle.

There was only a strong sense of death, rushing towards me.

"Has it already happened?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but clench his fists.

The time he wasted was actually not that much. Even if you count the round trip, it would not take more than a few hours in total.

But the enemy's attack speed was even faster than he thought.

"Then come!"

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng also stepped into the coyote's cave.

He wanted to see who wanted to kill him.
