in the edge

Chapter 546: Cycle of Life and Death
This was the first time Du Chengfeng had encountered a powerful person dealing with another powerful person.

The incident with Death Star could only be considered an accident, and Du Chengfeng and Coyote did not actually gain the qualifications to deal with Death Star. The person who was truly responsible for the finale was Zheng Qixing, the former Death Star himself. He used self-iteration to suppress a powerful being.

Although this method is effective, it is obviously not a conventional method, so Du Chengfeng is also very curious about what to do when he really needs to deal with a powerful person.

After all, when one is this strong, it is almost impossible to kill him with conventional means. As long as this powerful person still wants to live, there is almost no possibility of death for him - not every powerful person is as unlucky as the fisherman, who encounters an opponent who is most likely to ignite the death in his heart when he is in the worst condition.

At least judging from the current situation, the Fire Star Lord does not seem to be the kind of player who specializes in death, and the condition of the Black Tiger Star Lord is obviously not so bad that he is close to the point of being exhausted.

In other words, what he saw now was the normal way of fighting between the powerful.

"So... then what?"

After assisting the Fire Star Lord in cutting the Black Tiger Star Lord into pieces, Du Chengfeng looked at the old man with red hair and beard.

Simply dismembering a body is not enough to deal with a powerful person. You should know that the corpse of the Black Tiger Star Lord is still trying to put itself back together.

The head even opened its eyes, and judging from the way its lips moved, it was obvious that it wanted to curse something.

Then the head was burned to ashes by a fireball thrown by the God of Fire.

"Then we will split up and act separately."

As he said this, the Fire Lord took out a jar from somewhere and collected the ashes of the Black Tiger Lord's skull.

"You are responsible for taking the severed limbs and burying them somewhere you think will not be easily discovered. I will take the head and torso pieces, as well as the remaining fragments, and bury them somewhere else..."

"... Wait a minute?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Is that all?"

Du Chengfeng looked at the Lord of Fire in confusion, this was far from what he had imagined - you know, the seal and suppression he imagined had to be at least of that kind, either find a high mountain and then use some formation to seal it tightly, or find some strange props to seal the things to be sealed in a coffin and nail them shut.

Well, even if you don’t have these things, at least you have to draw two talismans, right?

There aren't even any security measures in place. Can this really be considered suppression?
"Will it work if we put the security measures in place?"

There was also some doubt in the Fire Star Lord's eyes when he looked at Du Chengfeng.

"Why do you think that kind of thing would work? If you lock a place, won't the lock be broken?"

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng choked on the spot.

What the old man said seemed to make sense, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it for a moment.

After all, this is really the case. The thing itself may not be that good, but if you put it in a safe that looks very powerful, then no matter how cheap it is, it will probably be coveted by thieves every day - and then it will be like what the Fire Deity said, as long as it is locked, it will be broken sooner or later, especially a conspicuous padlock, which will attract countless people to try to crack it.

"In the past, some people might have done this, but now... no one has used this troublesome method for a long time."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still didn't understand, Fire Deity continued to explain.

"Just throw it farther. After all, the result is not that important. What's important is the process."

“Is the process important?”

Du Chengfeng didn't quite understand for a moment. It sounded a bit irrelevant. If he threw it farther away, what did it have to do with the process?

But with the explanation of the Lord of Fire, Du Chengfeng realized that the process the other party was talking about was not the process of them suppressing the corpse.

But it is the process of the resurrection of the Black Tiger Star Lord.

"You also know that powerful people are difficult to kill. As long as they are not caught up by the will of death, there is almost no possibility of a normal death."

The Lord of Fire spread his hands, obviously feeling helpless about this.

"So he will be resurrected sooner or later. There is nothing we can do about it. It is bound to happen, it's just a matter of time."

Du Chengfeng understood what Fire Star Lord meant. The other party was trying to describe that the resurrection of the powerful was an objective fact that could not be changed by the will of others - but in this idealistic world where ghosts had been seen, hearing the words "objective fact" was already quite absurd.

What's even more ridiculous is that the Lord of Fire, or those old-school great men, actually came up with corresponding solutions based on this situation.

It is true that the slain mighty will be resurrected sooner or later, but at least when this mighty dies, everyone can try to influence the progress of his resurrection - and this is what the Fire Star Lord calls the process. In other words, they can't stop the resurrection itself, but they can make the other party's resurrection process disgusting and difficult.

Just as Fire Star Lord said just now, just throw the remains of Black Tiger Star Lord all over the world. It is unknown how much time it will take for Black Tiger Star Lord to piece together the remains.

"And during this process, you can always come back and mess with him again."

As he said this, the Fire Star Lord pointed to the remains on the ground.

"It's like this. He couldn't beat me in his prime, so how can he survive me now that he only has one hand and one foot left?"

"you……"

Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded. He never thought that there was a second layer of insurance waiting here.

This style of fighting sounds too shameless, but upon closer thought it is inexplicably useful - just think about it, just when the Black Tiger Star Lord thought he had pieced together half of his body and was about to be truly resurrected, the red-haired and red-bearded Fire Star Lord descended from the sky with an extremely powerful posture, and a fireball blew the weak body into pieces, and the ashes were once again thrown all over the country.

The despair after hope, the confusion of powerlessness, the pain that cannot be changed no matter what you do, even a strong-willed person may not be able to withstand it.

In particular, this kind of blow has not happened once or twice.

But every time.

Every attempt to resurrect, even every attempt to piece himself together, every time he finds a part of himself, it means exposing the fact that he is resurrecting to the enemy's vision - in other words, he has no choice in trying to resurrect, all the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, when the enemy chooses to show up and take action, this unfortunate guy who has only been half resurrected can only drag his broken body to fight desperately, and then face his failure once again.

In a sense, this can also be called eternal damnation.

"That's about it."

The Lord of Fire breathed a sigh of relief. He was very happy that Du Chengfeng finally understood what he meant.

"If time goes on for a long time, this kid won't be able to hold on any longer. He will probably be overtaken by death and choose to sleep forever. After all, doing things is always difficult, but giving up only takes a thought... What? Do you think he will raise a monster?"

Hearing Du Chengfeng's question, Fire Star Lord looked indifferent.

"If he can raise a monster, then raise a monster. If he can fight me with his remaining body, then it only means that I am not strong enough. If I am not strong enough, then I will become stronger. A clear enemy will point me in a new direction."

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng didn't expect that Huode Xingjun would be so calm about this. And judging from Huode Xingjun's tone, it was obvious that this was not only Huode Xingjun's own idea, but also the idea of ​​many powerful people.

Come to think of it, being able to fly to the sky and open up a cave on his own means that he is no ordinary person. Even the Black Tiger Star Lord who was killed by the Fire Star Lord, when he was alive, he was probably a fierce man who could fight against heaven and earth - since he was already fighting against heaven and earth, he naturally would not care about the appearance of any enemy.

In other words, for these truly powerful people, the existence of enemies is actually a very good thing.

A good enemy can even be regarded as the best nourishment. In the battle with this enemy, your methods and abilities will become more and more advanced.

In other words, if the Black Tiger Star Lord can really temper his will in the process of resurrection, and go a step further to make his spirit as strong as steel, and even be able to withstand the attack of the Fire Star Lord with just his remaining body, then for the Fire Star Lord, it would be a jackpot.

This means that the Lord of Fire can take advantage of the existence of his opponent and take another big step forward.

"At worst, I will be killed by him a few times and follow his path. Anyway, if I can't handle what he can handle, it only means that I am really no good and I deserve to die."

The Fire Star Lord made a summary.

Then he picked up the part of the body that he was responsible for.

"Oh, remember to tell me where you buried him when you get back... Never mind, there's no need to tell me. I'll let him help me and let him get half of his body together first."

"You... that's fine too."

Seeing that the old man was so generous, Du Chengfeng also started his work.

The work itself was not complicated, it was just a simple matter of throwing away the remains. The Fire Deity volunteered to fly west, and Du Chengfeng flew to the east - obviously, this was a consideration for him as a novice, because there was the sea to the east and there was no need to look for somewhere deliberately.

All you need to do is find a few small islands and throw the Black Tiger Star Lord's body on them. If you still feel it is not enough, you can be more meticulous and cut the Black Tiger Star Lord's body into small meatballs, and then pinch them into small meatballs one inch square, and throw them wherever you go.

This is what Du Chengfeng is doing now. His superb knife skills come in handy at this time. After he circled around the sea for a long time, the bag of meatballs in his hand was thrown away clean.

"It seems that even if there is a way to resurrect, it may not be safe."

After doing all this, Du Chengfeng still felt a little scared for a while.

Originally, he thought that infinite resurrection was already the limit. Who would have thought that these powerful beings actually had a way to deal with infinite resurrection - and judging from the posture of the Fire Star Lord when he left, it was probably not entirely for the purpose of suppressing the remains of the Black Tiger Star Lord.

At this moment, even if the Black Tiger Star Lord had some secret means of resurrection elsewhere, they had probably been destroyed one by one by the Fire Star Lord. In other words, if the Black Tiger Star Lord wanted to be resurrected, he had to follow the route defined by the Fire Star Lord.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized more deeply why the Fire Star Lord looked at him strangely when he proposed whether to use any special suppression methods.

This is because the suppression between powerful beings can never be achieved by just a few formations or rare treasures.

Just like what the Fire Star Lord said, the key to suppression is the process, which is to force the enemy into the route planned by your side, so that the enemy can only act along the established route, and can only walk on this hopeless dead end again and again.

“Is this… the world in heaven?”

Just thinking about it, Du Chengfeng felt a chill down his spine.

The world in heaven was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

And those seemingly polite and powerful people are far from being as harmless as they appear.

"I must not let myself fall into this situation!"

After throwing the last meatball into the sea, Du Chengfeng already felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although he still hasn't found the direction he's been pursuing, he has once again rekindled his determination to become stronger.

After all, if he doesn't become stronger, Black Tiger Star Lord's today may very likely become his tomorrow.

"Thank you, Black Tiger Star Lord."

Looking at the meatball falling down, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Although what he did to the Black Tiger Star Lord was a bit excessive, the experience of the Black Tiger Star Lord still taught him a lesson.

In a sense, the educational significance of this course to him even exceeded that of his cheap mentor.

"Become stronger! You must become stronger!"

With this idea in mind, Du Chengfeng flew back.

He still had to continue his practice and his understanding, or if the Lord of Fire really took this opportunity to escape from prison, he would have to catch the old man back.

What Du Chengfeng didn't know was that not long after he left, the meatball he threw into the sea was swallowed by a passing shark.

Fresh meat with a bloody smell is the favorite food of fish. Any creature living in the sea will not refuse this gift.

But the gifts of fate often come with a hidden price tag.

Just like this shark, within a quarter of an hour after swallowing the meatball, its eyes turned bloodshot.

"More! More!"

The shark with scarlet eyes didn't even know what it wanted more of. It just instinctively swam in the direction indicated by its mind.

And in that direction, there were more fish, shrimps and crabs with scarlet eyes, fighting each other fiercely.

Obviously, they have all lost their minds at this moment. They just want to eat each other, or in other words, they simply want to plunder each other's flesh and blood.

After all, those flesh and blood contain what they want.

The fight lasted for seven days, and the sea water had been dyed dark red. But in the end, a killer whale killed all the enemies and had the last laugh.

But this killer whale is not the real winner.

Just because a palm had broken the killer whale's back.

"I'm back again!"

Above the palm, a mouth was laughing loudly.

He is the winner of this fight.

Although there was only one hand, and one could even see some traces of a fish mouth on the mouth, but no matter what the process was, the Black Tiger Star Lord, or a part of the Black Tiger Star Lord, was finally resurrected.

"Fire Star Lord... Fire Star Lord!"

Thinking back to the red-haired and red-bearded face that stabbed him in the back, the severed hand was already emitting a deep hatred.
