in the edge

Chapter 534 My own battle

Facts have proved that even if the original bodies are the same person, there is still a gap in their strength.

No matter how determined Zheng Qixing is, he is just an ordinary master of evil spirit. Even if there are two outstanding ones among them who have already comprehended some of the Way of Death, it can only be said that they have just come into contact with the principles of heaven and earth - but what they are facing is a truly powerful person who has been studying the Way of Death for who knows how long.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a powerful person is still a powerful person no matter how bad his condition is.

Although the ambush of the seven Zheng Qixing did have some effect, and even knocked the zombie down from the clouds at one point, when the zombie really started to exert its strength, the seven Zheng Qixing were ultimately at a disadvantage - even if they had used the dagger that had been refined by the zombie for who knows how long, it was meaningless, simply because the zombie itself was already extremely close to death, and did not even spare its own body.

Thus, in just a moment, all seven Zheng Qixing were devoured by the zombie.

The seven Zheng Qixings have tried their best, but the gap in strength is still too big. The first few Zheng Qixings can still achieve some results and cause some damage to the zombies that keep possessing them, but as the zombies eat more and more, the remaining Zheng Qixings have their throats bitten before they can even touch the dagger.

"Is this your method? Is this what you are capable of?"

Carrying Zheng Qixing's body, the zombie howled to the sky.

"That's all? That's all?"

"That's enough."

Just as the zombie was about to swing his dagger and completely overturn the dense forest, Du Chengfeng and the coyote walked out directly from the woods.

"After all, you've been beaten like this... How does it feel to kill yourself?"

"..."

Looking at the two mortal enemies who appeared in front of him, the zombie was silent for a moment.

Then, he actually laughed.

"In fact, I should thank you. If you hadn't done this, I wouldn't be in such a good condition... Now, I have taken back all the broken pieces. Do you have any final words?"

"Look, he's started again."

Du Chengfeng had no intention of paying any attention to the zombies, but instead started chatting with the coyote beside him.

"The more you lack something, the more you have to boast about what you have. The worse your condition is, the more you have to be stubborn... But this situation is normal. After all, you can't let outsiders see your weak side."

"This is the power of a tiger even after its death."

Coyote nodded and continued to explain to Du Chengfeng.

"I came to this conclusion while observing tigers. The more dying a tiger is, the more ferocious it becomes. If it doesn't act ferociously, it will probably be eaten by other beasts... So it has to appear fine, or even more ferocious than before, to ensure its own safety."

"I learned it, I learned it."

Du Chengfeng bowed to the coyote repeatedly, looking humble and eager to learn.

But this conversation, which was carried out in a nonchalant manner, seemed to show that they did not take the zombies seriously, which made the zombies even more angry.

"You two beasts...I will skin you alive!"

"Then come."

It was not until this time that Du Chengfeng turned around.

"You don't want to do it? Or, you can't do it?"

"you……"

The angry zombie immediately raised his dagger and slashed at him.

But his arms did not move.

Not only did his arms not move, even his feet did not move. At this moment, his body seemed to have a will of its own and suddenly completely disobeyed his commands.

"You beasts..."

The zombie's face immediately turned gloomy.

"You beasts!"

"here we go."

Du Chengfeng and Coyote had no intention of paying any attention to the zombie. They just stared at the zombie's body cautiously and then shouted loudly.

"Can you guys handle it?"

"We can do it! Don't worry!"

The zombie responded subconsciously, and even his gloomy expression seemed to relax a little.

But immediately, the zombie's face turned blue again.

"You beasts...I will skin you alive!"

"You can't cut us."

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"After all, this is not our fight."

Yes, although this battle seemed to be a grudge between the two of them and this unlucky star, it was completely different at the moment - and the key to all this was those Zheng Qixing who were swallowed up.

This is Zheng Qixing’s battle, the battle between Zheng Qixing and Sangmenxing.

"It's impossible for us to defeat my future self with our strength alone."

Du Chengfeng still remembered what the two empty-headed Zheng Qixing said before engaging the enemy.

"If I in the future can really achieve this level and control such a large range of death, then I'm afraid that the few of us won't even see him and will be drowned by the corpses under his hands... So if we want to win, we actually only have one way."

"That is, take the initiative to die."

When Du Chengfeng heard this, he was stunned. Not only him, but even the other Zheng Qixing were dumbfounded.

Facing a strong enemy and willing to die, isn't this really speaking in favor of the other side?

“Death is not that scary, or rather, death is just a moment of physical pain… Only by transcending death itself can we have a chance of victory.”

Therefore, under the guidance of this idea, the seven Zheng Qixing worked out their battle plan.

The first step of this plan is to commit suicide.

The dazzling battle before was just an appearance. The ultimate goal of everything was to let the zombie devour them completely - after all, the zombie needed a few of them, their memories and residual souls, and would definitely do such a thing.

After being completely devoured, the seven Zheng Qixing also became part of the zombie.

"We can't win if we fight you from the outside."

The zombie spoke again involuntarily.

"But from the inside... you're alone, but there are seven of us."

"You, you evil beasts..."

The zombie clenched his teeth.

"Why are you helping them? We are family! We are obviously the same people! Why are you betraying me?"

"We never betrayed you."

After saying this, the zombie changed his expression and spoke sternly and righteously.

"You betrayed us! You betrayed yourself! You have forgotten the path you took, so we are here to help you remember it!"

"You..." The zombie's face was gloomy and for a moment he couldn't even speak clearly.

It is obvious that a fierce struggle is going on inside the zombies.

"His heart is broken."

The coyote that was roaming nearby made a judgment.

"Now is a good time to take action!"

"If we take action now, he will have another chance to be resurrected."

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"Why not wait a little while and see what effect Zheng Qixing can produce... Trust him, I think he can do it."

"Do you believe...?"

The coyote immediately understood what Du Chengfeng meant.

Although they had always been the ones using the trust of others, that is, the power of incense and vows, this time, they were the ones who provided the incense and vows - this was another task that they needed to complete in addition to looting the formation.

That is, to provide one's own mental strength as the strength for Zheng Qixing to fight against the zombies.

"Absolutely...definitely!"

At this moment, Du Chengfeng and Coyote's will was as firm as iron!
"Seven against one, how can we lose!"

"Seven against one?"

The zombie's face suddenly turned gloomy again, but a crazy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Do you really think I came here alone?"

As he said this, the tide of death made up of piles of corpses had already swarmed in!

"We are death itself! We will never fall!"

Along with these words, the corpses in the tide of death also knelt down one after another, facing the direction of the zombies. They looked at the zombies devoutly, as if they were looking at the gods who saved them.

After all, it was because of this powerful man that they were able to wake up from the scene and have a second life - although the method of resurrection was quite subtle, it still allowed them to come back alive.

With this tremendous amount of mental strength, the zombie's expression gradually became stable!

"Who do you think you are!"

There was already a hint of satisfaction on the zombie's face.

"I am just the old me, just the weak and incompetent part of me. Do you really think you can defeat me with just this trick? Do you really think you can turn the world upside down with just this trick?"

"That alone is certainly not enough."

It was at this moment that the zombie's expression suddenly changed again.

"With only the seven of us, we can only barely match you... but now, you took the initiative to call them over."

Having said this, the zombie suddenly laughed.

"They can't tell which one of us is me."

"you……"

Just as the zombie was about to speak again, his whole body suddenly froze in place.

Obviously, the enormous power of wishes from the undead was not only bestowed on the original zombies, but the other seven Zheng Qixing were also enjoying this enormous power.

With the blessing of this wish, Zheng Qixing and others' will became more and more resolute. Their iron will was like a sharp sword, and they were determined to wipe out the will of the zombies themselves!
The zombie remembered it very clearly. This was his favorite sword when he was young.

Yes, at that time, what he used was not a dagger, but a long sword to kill evildoers. It was after he was betrayed by his concubine that he chose this dagger as his personal weapon out of extreme hatred. This dagger was the crystallization of his lifelong hatred and murderous intent, so it was always effective when used.

But now, the sword that he had forgotten for who knows how long appeared in his mind again.

Only this time, the one that the sword was going to kill was no longer a cunning villain.

But himself.

"You, you actually..."

The zombie tried desperately to control his hands, but his trembling hands still raised the dagger firmly.

Then the dagger pierced his own heart.

However, it was impossible to kill the zombie with such injuries, and the zombie himself knew it. But what frightened him the most was that the dagger was actually pulled out from his heart. The blood condensed on the dagger, mixed with the crushed heart, actually took shape of the long sword that should have only existed in his mind!
"Speaking of which, we have you to thank."

The zombie, or Zheng Qixing, suddenly spoke.

"If you weren't so capable and hadn't learned so many mysterious secrets, it would be difficult for us to touch this sword... It's a weapon formed by will, right? Then let me show you your own will!"

As he said this, the long sword was completely pulled out from Zheng Qixing's heart.

And the face that was supposed to belong to the zombie never appeared again.

"……it's over?"

Looking at the long sword that was still dripping with blood, Du Chengfeng and Coyote looked at each other.

It seemed that it was indeed over. At least from the current battle situation, it seemed that Zheng Qixing had won - but it seemed that Zheng Qixing's victory was not so complete, because this seemingly upright and simple long sword still exuded a strong sense of death.

That was the breath of a zombie. It was obvious that this unlucky person who had studied death in depth was not so easy to kill.

"But he can't survive."

It was at this moment that Zheng Qixing, holding a long sword, smiled in the direction of Du Chengfeng.

"Thank you for your hard work in helping me... But unfortunately, we can't actually kill this future self."

"Understandable."

Du Chengfeng and Coyote nodded.

Since death itself does not exist, there is naturally no such thing as real killing - but they are more curious about what kind of condition Zheng Qixing is in at the moment.

"It's okay, at least I have regained my sanity now."

Zheng Qixing said this.

"When I am rational, I am Zheng Qixing, but if I have evil thoughts, I will become the unlucky star just now... There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. After all, we are one. I can't guarantee that I won't become like him in the future."

Having said this, Zheng Qixing handed out the long sword in his hand.

"So I give you this sword. If I have evil thoughts again, you can use this sword to kill me, so that I will no longer cause trouble to the world."

"This...are you really okay?"

Du Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, and for a moment he was a little afraid to take the sword.

"You are like this now... do you think you are okay?"

"What's wrong with me? There's nothing wrong with me looking like this."

While shaking the eight heads on his neck, Zheng Qixing looked at Du Chengfeng in confusion.

"Why, do I look weird now?"
