Chapter 523 The Way of Death

After a brief exchange, Du Chengfeng roughly understood what was going on.

It was true that the coyote was affected before, but after he left, the coyote had already discovered the problem with himself - so the cunning coyote simply pretended to come over for a visit and went into the cave that Du Chengfeng had opened up earlier, and then took out his personal weapon and disguised it to look like himself.

The real coyote was still in Du Chengfeng's cave to calm down, while the clone to lure the enemy was sent out, pretending to return to his own cave.

Since Du Chengfeng copied coyote's work from the cave he has made in a hurry, coyote naturally had no discomfort when recovering in it. The big gun had been carried by coyote for many years, so the aura on it was real enough to be mistaken for the fake one. As for the unstable aura, that didn't matter. He himself had been affected anyway, and his mood was unstable. Wasn't that normal?
Then, after calculating the time and feeling that it was about time, the coyote, who had calmed down, went out personally and returned to his own cave which he had used as a trap, ready to close the net and expand the victory at the same time.

"..."

Hearing this, Du Chengfeng's expression became quite subtle.

It can be seen that the coyote did learn something from the old man fishing, at least he learned how to fish.

"So this thing is also part of your plan?"

Du Chengfeng pointed to the body of Emperor Dajing, which was split in half by the halberd.

"So I'm the only one who took the bait? I'm the fish?"

"Ah, that's not the case."

The coyote raised its paw and pointed at the body on the ground.

"This guy is truly an enemy. I wouldn't go to such lengths to set a trap... But I never expected that he would be the one to come."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, the coyote sighed.

"I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect he still hated me so much."

“…Maybe not.”

After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng said a few words to comfort him.

"He might have just been resurrected by someone else and then manipulated. After all, you also said that he felt guilty towards you..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng's forehead began to sweat slightly.

No wonder the coyote didn't want him to participate in this kind of battle. After all, this unheard-of fighting method was too weird. You know, in Du Chengfeng's impression, fighting should be a head-on fight. No matter how the strength changes, no matter what changes happen to the way of fighting, the battle itself is still a confrontation between two fighters.

But now...

He had never heard of this kind of fighting style.

First, putting pressure on the opponent to trigger panic was within his understanding, but what followed was to revive the opponent's former friends and use them as weapons to break the opponent's weaknesses. This was a bit too outrageous - he could still understand calling on friends to form gangs, but this sinister way of playing was completely beyond his cognition.

Who doesn't have relatives and friends? If someone really used Carpenter Li to chop him, he would probably be more annoyed than this coyote.

From this perspective, Coyote did not choose to show up in person, but instead split up to fight, which is actually a very smart move.

"So this is actually a good thing. After all, you have avoided an attack from the enemy on the mental level."

Du Chengfeng made a summary.

But the coyote shook his head.

“I didn’t dodge.”

The coyote sighed.

"If he was controlled, the fight wouldn't have turned out like this... Since you've already fought him, you should be able to understand that my good friend sincerely wants to kill me."

Having said this, Coyote's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Obviously, this incident was a big blow to the coyotes.

Du Chengfeng could even understand Coyote's feelings. After all, he had seen those scenes when Coyote told him about the difference between life and death. At least in Coyote's story, Emperor Dajing had always felt guilty towards Coyote. In other words, no matter how much Emperor Dajing attacked Coyote, it was only because of his position as an emperor that he had to do it.

The problem between them was only because of their positions, other than that, the friendship between them had never changed.

At least that's what the coyotes always thought.

But now, all that false warmth was torn apart, and Coyote finally understood that the so-called friendship had never existed, and this former best friend had no guilt towards him - the other party even rushed into his cave without complaint and destroyed everything he had, even the clone who was deliberately left behind was fighting with Du Chengfeng.

This was a sincere attempt to kill him, and his former best friend was even as weak as before, not even daring to take action himself, and only knew how to control everything by hiding behind the scenes.

This situation is even more painful.

"So I may need to continue to calm down. I really didn't expect this."

The coyote looked rather grim.

"As for you... I want to take back what I said before. It's not that you are unsuitable to participate in this battle. In other words, you are the one who can decide the outcome of this battle."

"me?"

Du Chengfeng immediately understood what the coyote meant.

It seems to be true. Since the enemy hiding in the dark knew to pull out Emperor Dajing, who had been dead for who knows how long, and use him to cause trouble for Coyote, it means that the other party has a certain understanding of this Greedy Wolf Star Lord - and this also means that Coyote was at a great disadvantage from the very beginning.

What's more, the opponent's move has been effective. The coyote's mind has been disturbed, and the three turbid powers wrapped around his body have begun to become unstable. This situation is indeed not suitable for fighting.

On the contrary, on the one hand, he had stabilized his mind and temporarily suppressed the influence of the Three Turbidities, and on the other hand, he had defeated Emperor Dajing and proved his strength.

But on this basis, there is a more important point.

That was the time he spent in heaven, which was not long.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed, from the time the coyote took him to the sky to now, it was not even a month in total - of course, even less than a month was not a short time for the mortal world, but for those monsters in the sky whose lifespans were often hundreds of years, this amount of time was really nothing.

A stranger who has only appeared in the public eye for less than a month, it is difficult for the enemy lurking in the dark to make any targeted arrangements against him.

After all, the information he revealed was still too little.

"If you think about it this way, then I am more suitable to fight."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng nodded.

"I told you, how can I be absent from the fight... But now, you should tell me who we are going to fight? After all, only when we know ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

"This one……"

The coyote was silent for a moment.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't know much. After all, a master of this level will definitely hide his information... In addition, knowing this may not be a good thing. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"confirm."

Du Chengfeng nodded as a matter of course.

Of course he has to listen to it, otherwise, if he doesn’t even understand his opponent, how can he fight?
"Well."

The coyote was silent for a moment, and finally told the story of the past. This story was not about him, but about the old fisherman. Since the old fisherman occasionally talked about his own experiences, the coyote knew that the other party had also made a great reputation in the world when he was young. When he had reached the peak, the old fisherman refused the invitation of various forces at that time in order to go further, and chose to seek more truths alone.

"In that case... then what?"

Du Chengfeng recalled the scene he had seen.

But he didn't remember who the old fisherman had offended here. It couldn't be that the old fisherman had also offended the emperor at that time? Was the emperor also resurrected?
"Then, the old man used a bit of rough means when rejecting various forces."

Coyote's expression was a little subtle.

"He thought those people were stupid, so he just killed them all."

"You mean, these are the people he offended?"

Du Chengfeng finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"You mean, they've been resurrected too? Are they coming to cause trouble for us now? Just this bunch of dead ghosts?"

"Listen to me first."

The coyote raised its paw, signaling Du Chengfeng not to interrupt him.

"I just told you about the situation at that time. There were years of drought and rebellion. The people were living in misery under natural and man-made disasters... It was at this time that the leaders and chiefs of various forces were killed in one go. What do you think will happen?"

"…The world is in chaos?"

Du Chengfeng made a blind guess at the answer.

"He disrupted the order of the world, so who is targeting him?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but slap his head. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was really the case - no wonder he had already checked the experience of the old fisherman, but had no memory of when the old fisherman offended other masters. Now everything was explained, it turned out that he offended them inadvertently.

If you think so...

"No."

Just when Du Chengfeng was about to continue thinking, the coyote shook his head.

"The world was indeed in chaos for a while, but it wasn't a major turmoil... Or, in other words, after the leaders and chieftains of various forces died, people's lives soon got better."

"……what?"

Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded.

How can there be such a saying?

"Don't be so angry. This incident is recorded in the history books of Dajingxiu."

The coyote continued.

"Although the old man's behavior was indeed outrageous, after those leaders and chiefs were killed, it gave the next generation an opportunity to take the throne. It just so happened that the new emperor, prime minister, and other chiefs were all capable and smart people. After dividing up the resources left by the dead, they quickly reached a consensus and restored order."

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

As expected, art comes from life, and it can have such an outrageous development. I am afraid that even science fiction writers will not use such an exaggerated setting.

However, from this point of view, the old man fishing is actually doing good things. Although it is indeed an outrageous act, as far as the result is concerned, all the people in the world are better off. How can this offend anyone?
"That's why you offend people."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still looked puzzled, Coyote sighed.

"Where do you think this drought and pirates came from?"

"The pirates must have come from the sea."

Du Chengfeng answered subconsciously.

"Of course the drought is caused by a bad year... Wait, you mean the drought is man-made? And the pirates too?"

“It’s not necessarily a person, but it was definitely made deliberately.”

The coyote nodded.

"I was also targeted recently, and I felt that something was wrong. It happened that when I took the old man's legacy, I also met some other powerful people. After asking them, I found out that the drought that year was actually caused by a powerful person who wanted to harvest a group of lives for use."

"This……"

Having said that, Du Chengfeng had completely understood.

The successive years of drought and constant banditry that the old fisherman encountered when he was young were in themselves means for the mighty in heaven to reap lives - but after being mixed up by this old guy, they were all ruined.

The original death toll of hundreds or even tens of millions was compressed to six digits, or even five digits, after being mixed up by this old fisherman. After a brief period of chaos, there was a longer period of peace, and the powerful man's idea of ​​reaping the benefits was instantly ruined.

How could such behavior not be hated by others?

"That's why I didn't tell you."

Coyote sighed.

"Even when I heard that such a powerful being was preparing to attack us, I was shocked. A powerful being of this level, just talking about his deeds, can't help but make us feel uneasy... Why don't you go back and calm down, at least dispel the fear in your heart."

"That's not necessary."

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. After all, judging from the results, the enemy hiding in the dark couldn't beat the old man... Otherwise, the old man would have been killed long ago, and you wouldn't have been led to heaven by him. Do you feel better if you think this way?"

"If you say so, then it is true, but judging from the results, it may not be the case."

Even though Du Chengfeng said this, Coyote's expression didn't look very good.

"Don't forget, the old man died in the end. You know, he didn't want to die, but he died in the end... In terms of the result, the old man did lose. After all, the power his opponent possessed was greater than his."

"So what kind of power does the opponent possess?"

Du Chengfeng asked directly.

"Can you stop beating around the bush and be direct?"

"You've heard so much, and you still haven't figured it out?"

Hearing Du Chengfeng say this, Coyote sighed.

"Forget it. According to the information I received, the enemy possesses the power of death."

"He is a master who has studied death in depth. Our chances of winning are slim."
