in the edge

Chapter 527 Beyond Death
Du Chengfeng dared to say that he knew the most about death, and it was not groundless.

It was actually good luck that he had just experienced death when he was polishing the brain sword - although strictly speaking it was not him who died, but the Emperor Dajing, but since he was in the first person perspective at the time, it was almost equivalent to dying several times.

Not once, but several times. After all, when Emperor Dajing just passed away, this coyote had tried several times to bring Emperor Dajing back from death, and succeeded every time.

It’s just that Emperor Dajing himself didn’t want to live again, so the matter ended up being left unresolved.

However, because of this outrageous resurrection, Du Chengfeng reaped all the benefits.

Du Chengfeng didn't dare to guarantee that he was the one who had killed the most people in the world. After all, after learning about these powerful beings in the sky, he also knew what it meant that there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you - but when it comes to death, these powerful beings can never compare to him.

At least among these powerful people who are still alive, he must be the one who has died the most times.

Unless Emperor Dajing could live another life, no one could surpass him in this respect.

"Anyway, just listen to me and relax."

Du Chengfeng did not explain in detail about sharpening the knife, he just asked the coyote to listen to him.

"Trust me, it's nothing more than death. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"…I think I should probably kill you first."

The coyote cautiously took a few steps back, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Du Chengfeng became dangerous.

Although he had predicted several times that in a battle of this level, the Tin Man would most likely be overcome by potential enemies and switch sides in an instant, he never expected that everything would happen so quickly - this was no longer a matter of switching sides in an instant, it was obvious that the Tin Man had chosen to surrender before the opponent even made a move!
This tin man actually took the initiative to stand on the side of death and even advised him to die... Is this something that one of his own people can say?
No, this is not even a matter of whether we are family or not. Anyone with a normal mind wouldn't say such a thing.

But what Coyote didn't expect was that even though he had already shown an attacking posture, Du Chengfeng in front of him had no intention of taking action at all.

Not only did she not have any intention of taking action, she even took the initiative to open her arms to him.

"If you really think so, then come on. It's nothing more than dying once. It's nothing."

"..."

The coyote was choked and speechless, and his body, which was about to pounce, froze in mid-air.

Killing this teammate who turned against him at the last minute would definitely be beneficial, at least it would prevent him from being attacked from both sides - but therein lay the problem, the Tin Man in front of him didn't even resist, if he really just bit him, he would look very stupid.

And most importantly, this would even damage his own state of mind. After all, this behavior of attacking his own people has nothing to do with the law of the jungle.

Besides, the Tin Man didn't do anything to him.

The tin man didn't even have the intention of resisting. Even though he had really revealed his murderous intent just now, the tin man still stood in front of him, looking completely indifferent - he didn't even smell any fear from the other party, as if death was as easy as going home to drink water.

"…Do you really have a solution?"

The coyote hesitated.

He could feel that there was no dead air in the Tin Man, and coupled with that confident expression... He still remembered that the last time he saw the Tin Man so confident was in the fisherman's cave.

At that time, he actually did not have the confidence to get through the illusion set up by the Fisherman. After all, in that illusion, the Fisherman was the real sky, an irresistible existence - but who could have thought that after the Tin Man turned into a monkey, he actually managed to defeat all competitors, even killing the Fisherman.

It was obviously an impossible task, but the Tin Man did it anyway.

"never mind."

Seeing that the coyote was still hesitating, Du Chengfeng simply gave up trying to persuade him.

"Since you don't believe me, then you can use your own method and I will solve the problem myself... That's it."

"Hey! Wait a minute..."

Just as the coyote was about to stop him, Du Chengfeng had already jumped down from the sky and plunged into the tide of death composed of skeleton soldiers.

In just a moment, hundreds of bone weapons came towards him, intending to cut him into pieces on the spot.

But for Du Chengfeng, this level of enthusiasm is meaningless.

The broken weapons chopped onto the steel body and shattered into pieces on the ground immediately. It turned out that these rusty weapons were not strong at all compared to the top-level ultra-high alloy powder high-speed steel.

But this attack is not really completely meaningless. Although the broken weapons were shattered, the deathly energy on the weapons penetrated into Du Chengfeng's body.

"So, this is death?"

Feeling the tingling sensation all over his body, Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

He didn't feel anything related to death at all. This aura seemed to simply want to kill him - but there was the problem. This thing couldn't kill him at all.

It's just this level, not even close to true death. Is the enemy just at this level?

"Keep going! Increase the intensity!"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng simply continued to walk forward, allowing these skeleton soldiers to swing their weapons and hack at him wildly.

It might be because there was too little death energy, this was Du Chengfeng's idea, so as long as there was more death energy, there would be no problem - since the enemy lurking in the dark wanted him to die so much, he might as well die in front of the other side.

He wanted to see who understood death better.

"Come! Let me see!"

Du Chengfeng rushed in against the tide of death, running wherever there were crowds.

"Show me your understanding of death!"

Perhaps it was because this provocation really angered the other party, or perhaps it was because there were too many corpse soldiers, Du Chengfeng suffered a head-on blow this time.

This time, the target of his attack was the corpse of the old fisherman that he had just chopped into pieces. The dead fisherman had pieced his body together again at some point. He just swung the fishing rod lightly in his hand, and the thin fishing line directly strangled Du Chengfeng's body, even cutting thin dents on Du Chengfeng's body!

But it was just a dent, and this kind of cut couldn't hurt him at all.

This is not the strength that a powerful person should have. The old man fishing should not be so weak.

"So, what you resurrected is not all of them."

Du Chengfeng also swung his fishing rod and once again cut the dead fisherman into pieces.

The old man who was skilled in fishing suddenly stopped fishing and switched to strong attack. This rash change in tactics may not even bring out one percent of the old man's ability.

"Why not revive a normal one?"

Du Chengfeng frowned slightly. You know, the resurrected Emperor Dajing not only did not become weaker, but even gained strength and became stronger. On the contrary, the resurrected old fisherman lost his great power and became so weak. Why would their enemies make such a stupid move? Why not resurrect a normal fisherman?
Can't? Don't want to?
Or are you just naive and don't dare?

"It seems that you are not that strong after all."

After realizing this, Du Chengfeng became more calm.

Even someone as strong as Diao Sou had been outlasted by him using the same tactics as the old man. So this so-called master who had studied death in depth, who couldn't even resurrect Diao Sou in his prime, was nothing to him.

But he immediately paid the price for this idea.

A ray of light flashed across his neck, and the steel and iron head immediately fell to the ground.

It was obvious that the powerful man hiding in the dark couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to let him experience the taste of death with his own hands.

Along with the sound of the head falling to the ground, the corpse soldiers with bloodshot eyes immediately stopped their actions. It was obvious that they just wanted to cause death, but the tin man in front of them was already dead - and the coyote in mid-air, who was just about to think of a solution, was also stunned by this scene.

He had thought that the Tin Man would use some unexpected and amazing wisdom like last time, but in the end, the Tin Man just lost his life like this?

"you……"

The coyote in mid-air rushed down quickly, trying to retrieve the body with its head and body separated, but the tide of the dead took action before him, carrying the heavy metal body and head directly into the distance.

The coyote was already charging forward at the fastest speed, crushing countless skeletons along the way, but there were still more corpse soldiers surrounding him, blocking him in place.

Even the body of the fisherman was put together again. He swept the fishing rod in his hand, and the tough fishing line immediately trapped the coyote to death on the spot.

This time, the fishing lines did more than just leave marks.

In just a moment, the coyote was like it had hit a fishing net full of blades, and its whole body was cut and bleeding.

Faced with this wave of death, Coyote could no longer move. Even if he tried his best, he could only watch the headless corpse and its head being carried away into the distance.

It was transported to a place even farther than the distant Dajing Imperial City.

In this wave of death, the corpse and the head were like a lone boat on the sea, drifting away into the distance. Countless corpse arms held up the two heavy pieces of metal, trying hard to complete the transportation - but unfortunately, both the metal head and the metal corpse were a little too heavy for these broken arms.

So after drifting for a while, the two heavy pieces of metal naturally sank to the bottom.

Those broken arms tried to lift the two pieces of metal several times, but they were too heavy. They lifted them more than ten times and even broke several arms - this directly led to the transportation being interrupted halfway, and a will-o'-the-wisp that was originally parked in the distance had to fly all the way over.

The pale will-o'-the-wisp fell to the ground, and in an instant a figure in a wide robe and wide sleeves appeared.

The rest of the figure seemed unremarkable except for the face, which was extremely impressive. The left half of the face looked heroic, but the right half looked like a rotten corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years.

If Du Chengfeng raised his head at this moment, he would find that this face was exactly the same as the one he saw in the memory of the brain sword.

But at the moment Du Chengfeng no longer had the ability to raise his head, after all, his head had already fallen down.

And now, his head was being held in the air by the figure with half of his face rotten, with a hand covered with corpse spots.

"interesting."

Looking at the metallic head in front of him, the corpse with half of its face rotted away narrowed its eyes.

"I have seen many people who fought against death, but you are the first one who actively embraced death... Since you are so obsessed with death, I will give you a chance."

"Are you really sending it?"

Du Chengfeng also narrowed his eyes.

“How much can you give?”

"you!"

The corpse with half of its face rotten almost threw the head in its hand away.

"You're not dead?"

"Of course I'm not dead."

Du Chengfeng said it was natural.

"Why do you think I'm dead?"

"I have already cut off your head..."

After looking at the headless corpse on the ground and then at the iron head in his hand, the corpse who called himself "this master" actually showed a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"The head has already been chopped off, how can you still..."

"Will I die if my head falls off?"

There was also a hint of doubt in Du Chengfeng's eyes.

"Steel is still steel even if it is cut, and a head is still a head even if it falls off, so why do you think that if the head falls off, you will definitely die? Is this your understanding of death?"

"you……"

The corpse was stunned for a moment, but didn't say a word in response.

But then, the corpse's face turned gloomy.

"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish!"

As he spoke, countless streams of light shot out from the wide sleeves of the corpse's robe. The metal head, along with the headless body on the ground, and even the corpses and skeleton soldiers around it, were all chopped into pieces on the ground in an instant!
"See? This is what you want. This is death..."

"That's it?"

Amidst the metal debris, Du Chengfeng's voice rang out again.

"Didn't I tell you just now? Steel is still steel even if it's cut into pieces, so why do you think that if you cut it into pieces you'll definitely die? Is this your understanding of death?"

Having said this, Du Chengfeng paused.

"If this is all you understand about death, then why not let me take over... After all, your understanding is still too shallow."

"Let me teach you what true death is."
