in the edge

Chapter 524: Using Thoughts as Soldiers
The enemy is a master who has mastered the art of death, and Coyote gives out important information.

But just like what the coyote said, this information did not bring about knowing oneself or the enemy, but a deeper fear - after all, no one is not afraid of death, and survival can be said to be the instinct of all living things. Moreover, a master who has studied death in depth... How deep has he studied it?
Or in other words, how should we study death in depth?

Don't know, absolutely don't know.

Especially when he recalled what the coyote said, that even the death of the old fisherman might be due to this, the panic in his heart became more intense - it was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized that the coyote might really not be able to cope with the upcoming battle.

It was just because the coyote could no longer erase the fear in his heart, and it even passed the fear to him.

From this perspective, the coyote's previous behavior of refusing to tell him the truth was actually correct.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. When he doesn't know what he is about to face, he can exert his full strength. Now he has been infected by fear, so his ability to fight will naturally be greatly reduced - but if he really doesn't know anything and just rushes forward, that will definitely not work. If he uses this foolish behavior of a suicide squad to face those powerful people, he will probably not even know how he died.

The situation was extremely unfavorable from the very beginning, and the two of them were faced with a situation where they were stuck on both ends.

"Then I'll go back and calm down first."

Du Chengfeng thought about it and decided to try to erase this fear first.

Otherwise, if he was really affected by this coyote, he would not be able to fight normally - after all, when he fought the Emperor Dajing before, he was already in danger. If he had not pulled out the Overlord Halberd at the critical moment, he would probably have been defeated on the spot because of his mysterious ability.

The enemy is far more dangerous than he had previously imagined, and he must be cautious and deal with it at his best.

But just when Du Chengfeng was about to leave, the coyote stopped him.

"You want to go back, but not to that old man's place."

As he said this, Coyote had already smashed the armored cavalryman who was still hitting Du Chengfeng, and then took the spear in the other's hand and gave it to Du Chengfeng.

"Take this. I will put a skin on you in a moment, so that you can look like me. With this iron spear in your hand, you will also be able to carry my aura...Use my appearance and return to your previous cave. Don't expose yourself."

"what do you mean……"

Du Chengfeng immediately understood the style of play the Coyotes were going to use.

It was obvious that he had discovered the advantage of not exposing any information on his side, so he simply used this to confuse the opponent in the dark - after all, the coyote flew back to his own cave from Du Chengfeng's cave, and this action was in the open, and all the powerful people in the sky could see it.

"So, there might be an ambush in my own cave as well."

"And it was an ambush aimed at me."

The coyote nodded.

"What can be used against me may not be used against you, so if you go there now, you will have an advantage... On the other hand, that powerful person will think that it is you who stays here, so I will also have an advantage if I deal with him here."

"That's true."

After Du Chengfeng thought about it, he nodded.

It sounds like this is indeed the case. There is a high probability that Coyote will not be able to attack Emperor Dajing, as he himself has corresponding weaknesses. But if the two of them switched positions, neither of them would be unable to attack.

So, Du Chengfeng, who had also turned into a coyote, took the iron spear and flew all the way back to his cave.

Of course, he did not forget his spoils of war. He also took the strange fascia sword back with him - but during the whole process, he wrapped the sword with cloth and did not dare to touch the sword even a little bit.

After all, this sword was too outrageous. Just touching it once directly affected his movements and even controlled his body. Although there was no owner now, if there was any problem again... it would be very troublesome.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. If there is bad news, there will naturally be good news.

At least when Du Chengfeng returned to his cave, which was copied from Coyote's forest home, he did not see any ambush.

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng, who was originally prepared for a big fight, suddenly looked depressed.

Obviously, although they had tried to predict the opponent's behavior, the master who had studied death in depth did not act according to their predictions - come to think of it, he was already a master, so how could his actions be predicted by them so easily?
"I think the other side will be fine..."

Du Chengfeng thought about it, but ultimately decided not to go out to help.

It's not that he didn't want to help, but he couldn't. The fear that the coyote had infected him had not yet been erased, and if he really went over there he would probably only cause more trouble - so now that he had some free time, he could use it to calm his mind.

As for how to calm his mind, Du Chengfeng has not figured it out yet. After all, the description of the coyote was a bit too exaggerated. The master who studied death had reached the point where he could make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. He could create a drought just to reap lives, and then he could kill a powerful man like the old fisherman without anyone noticing. Now, he was suffocating the two of them just by relying on his reputation.

If the enemy is really that powerful, then it is something they cannot deal with at all.

"But is the enemy really that powerful?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at the fascia sword.

Although touching this strange sword might lead to some unexpected danger, he could no longer control his hands at the moment.

I want to polish it off, I want to take a look, I want to see what the so-called master of death is all about.

"Why not sharpen your gun first..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng thought that he should change his target and polish the coyote's iron spear first - on the one hand, he could satisfy his own desire, and on the other hand, he could fully understand the reason for the coyote's fear.

But immediately, he stopped the action.

The reason is simple, simply because this behavior is too shameful. After all, his act of sharpening the weapon is almost equivalent to reading through his experiences. In other words, sharpening the coyote's spear is basically equivalent to reading through the coyote's diary.

After all, he and the coyote are acquaintances after all. If he really has to read the other party's diary... it would be good if he didn't see anything, but what if he saw something?

You have to know that the coyote took the initiative to transform into a wolf, but he was still a human being. In other words, if he really saw something about the animal world, or the relationship between man and nature... "Forget it."

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng put the spear aside.

This was the only weapon he had actively chosen not to sharpen since he started sharpening weapons.

"So, we still have to..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng looked at the fascia sword again.

The best way to overcome fear is to face it. If he doesn't touch this sword, he will probably always be afraid of it.

What's more, if nothing unexpected happens, this long sword from Emperor Dajing may very likely carry information about the dead master.

While polishing the sword, he not only faced his fear of the sword, but also faced the fear hidden in his heart that the coyote had just conveyed to him.

"So... let's do it!"

Du Chengfeng gritted his teeth and grabbed the fascia sword in his hand.

The long sword felt quite strange in his hand. It was not the feeling of holding metal or iron like an ordinary weapon, but the texture of flesh and blood - no, it was not even holding flesh and blood, but the flesh and blood in his hand gradually merged into one with him!
Before polishing even began, Du Chengfeng's vision had already become dazed.

And in this familiar trance, the scene in front of Du Chengfeng also changed - but what was beyond Du Chengfeng's expectation was that this time he was not in the perspective of a weapon, but the perspective of Emperor Dajing.

This can be seen from the luxurious crown on his body. Although it is small in size, it still exudes endless dignity and majesty.

As an emperor, and as a young emperor, Emperor Dajing was lonely. Although he was always surrounded by a large group of people serving him, these people who were respectful to him did not mean anything to him at all - after noticing this respect, the young Emperor Dajing realized very early that these people were just servants and could not be on an equal footing with him.

Even the teachers who taught him knowledge were the same. Although they looked majestic, they only looked majestic.

These people were people he could manipulate at will and were not worth mentioning.

"This is normal. The emperor must be lonely."

When the young Emperor Dajing expressed his doubts to his mother, or the Empress Dowager, he received this answer.

What is the Supreme? The Supreme is the person who stands at the highest point, and there is only one of them.

But does the emperor really have to be lonely?

Not necessarily.

That was the year when Emperor Dajing was ten years old. The ten-year-old Emperor Dajing had already demonstrated his talent. Although he was young, he already had the majesty of an emperor. Everyone treated him with respect and felt that the new monarch already had the shadow of the previous emperor. No one dared to disobey the rules in front of him, and no one even dared to raise their head in front of him.

All people are his servants, and Emperor Dajing at that time already had this awareness.

But it was in that year that the accident happened.

Just when the young Emperor Dajing was studying in his study, a teenager of similar age suddenly rushed into his study. Before he could even say anything, the teenager had already put a knife to his neck.

"I'm sorry first, it wasn't intentional."

The young man spoke in Emperor Dajing's ear.

"But if I don't do this, I can't get out... Don't look at me like that, I just want to test my skills. I didn't expect those useless guards to be able to stop me."

This was the first time that Emperor Dajing had seen someone so rebellious.

This wasn't even about breaking the rules, but about treating the rules as nothing. This kind of rebellious person... This was the first time he had seen such a bold lunatic!
But this was also the first time that someone could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

The young Emperor Dajing was stunned for a long time, and something in his heart was touched.

The guards who swarmed in eventually left, only because their emperor had announced that this was just an emergency drill, and the thief who broke into the palace was also a close friend of the emperor - although the guards didn't understand why the little emperor who lived in the palace all day would have such a friend outside, but since the emperor had said so, they could only accept it.

This was the first time Emperor Dajing met his young general.

"Or rather, it was the first acquaintance between this Emperor Dajing and the coyote."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

If you only see this, you will think that Emperor Dajing is actually quite friendly. You should know that Emperor Dajing is only ten years old and is far from having as much power as a real adult emperor. In other words, the one who truly holds power at this time is the empress dowager in the deep palace.

But even at great risk, the Dajing Emperor still resisted the pressure from the empress dowager and etiquette and saved the young coyote, which was indeed an extremely loyal act.

Obviously, the young coyote also noticed this, so the two quickly became friends. On one side was the young one, but would obviously be the number one in the world in the future, and on the other side was the one who had shown terrifying skills at a young age, and later indeed became the world's number one warrior in terms of martial arts. The combination of the two was undoubtedly the most terrifying match.

In the process of growing up, because he already had absolute military support in his hands, the Emperor Dajing could be said to be a man who would kill anyone who stood in his way. Even those old ministers who held great power, no matter how powerful they were, could not withstand the fatal blow delivered by the young coyote.

So, as time went by, the pair of good friends soon reached the position where they should be. Emperor Dajing became the true supreme ruler, and Coyote became a true number one master who could fight an entire army alone.

But at this moment, some changes occurred in the heart of Emperor Dajing.

"The Emperor is lonely."

The teachings he had received continued to echo in his ears.

After all, there is still some gap between being the best in power and being the best in military force.

Especially when he saw that he was getting old while his good friend was still very young, the dissatisfaction in Emperor Dajing's heart reached its peak.
