in the edge

Chapter 575: Corruption
Originally, in Du Chengfeng's expectation, his rebirth plan was not complicated.

The first step is to find a mortal to be the sword wielder. The second step is to let this mortal search for his remains that were sealed and suppressed by the powerful.

As for what happens after finding it, the next thing is not complicated. It is nothing more than breaking through the barrier with one sword and rebuilding part of the body.

But this least complicated part is also the most dangerous part. If the seal is broken, it will definitely attract the powerful person who cast the seal. Although with the sword-bearer, he can kill this powerful person as quickly as he killed the Star Lord Yaoguang and then escape, but all this has a prerequisite.

That is, as a mortal holding a sword, one can at least hold his own in front of the powerful.

He doesn't even need to hold on for a long time, even just one breath is enough. As long as he is given this reaction time, then it will be his turn to perform - but if this mortal cannot hold on for one breath in front of the powerful, or is even killed instantly by the powerful, then he will be in danger after losing the sword holder.

None of those who can fly to the sky by their own strength are easy to deal with. When seeing the man holding the sword, those powerful people will probably instantly think of the connection between them.

Unless they are as greedy as Yaoguang Xingjun.

But speaking of it, he really should thank this Star Lord Yaoguang. Originally, Du Chengfeng thought that he was not discovered only because he was secretive enough. But now it seems that he and the old blacksmith were not discovered when doing such a thing. It is probably because the Star Lord Yaoguang did something to cover it up.

But this cover is not permanent, they still have to leave quickly. After all, Yaoguang Xingjun is dead, and no one knows how long this cover can last - perhaps they have already fallen into the sight of those powerful people, or even those powerful people are looking at him right now.

When he thought of this, Du Chengfeng felt that it was too early to kill the Star Lord Yaoguang, otherwise he would at least get the secret method of concealment so that he could do things more conveniently.

But the most troublesome problem at the moment is not about any secret method.

It’s the old blacksmith’s problem.

"I want it all!"

After a brief hesitation, the old blacksmith made this choice.

Perhaps it was because he confirmed that the sword in his hand was actually a magic sword, and a magic sword of great origin, that the old blacksmith instead developed an inexplicable sense of confidence - he felt that with the power of the magic sword, he could seize everything seized in this battle. He felt that this was the compensation given to him by fate, and that everything was earned by him.

"Aren't you looking for death?"

When Du Chengfeng realized what the old blacksmith was thinking, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

"The bigger your background is, the bigger the trouble will be. Do you really have no brains at all?"

Obviously, Du Chengfeng's reminder was of no use to the old blacksmith. He still believed that he could defeat the invading enemies by relying solely on his own power and the magic sword.

Even including those powerful ones.

This was also the most outrageous part in Du Chengfeng's eyes. It was obvious that the old blacksmith had never seen a truly powerful person. He had only met the Yaoguang Star Lord who was disguised as a mortal. But it was this Yaoguang Star Lord who was tricked to death that made the old blacksmith full of confidence and felt that the so-called powerful people were nothing more than this.

Now in the eyes of this old man, the ranking of the powerful can even be ranked behind the release of evil spirit in terms of strength.

"you……"

If before this, Du Chengfeng was only thinking about whether to change people, then now he is really preparing for the handover of the sword holder.

But before that, he was still prepared to continue protecting the old blacksmith for a while. After all, the old man was the first sword wielder. Even if he didn't do a very good job, Du Chengfeng had no intention of letting him die. As for the powerful attacks that might occur at any time, Du Chengfeng thought that this was not so bad. Anyway, for him now, he was not without the ability to fight.

What Du Chengfeng didn't expect was that the powerful man's attack came faster than he expected.

It was the fifth day after the completion, and the old blacksmith was still collecting the deeds to the land and houses - this was also the biggest reason why the old blacksmith chose not to leave. These things were much more valuable than gold and silver treasures, and could even become a golden rice bowl that could be passed down from generation to generation.

Greed for property and power blinded the old blacksmith's eyes and made him lose his original caution.

So much so that when the surroundings fell into darkness, the old blacksmith did not notice it at all.

But Du Chengfeng noticed clearly that it was still daytime outside, and even indoors, it was brightly lit by various candles - lighting lights during the day was actually a waste of fuel, but the old blacksmith chose to be extravagant. After all, when he broke into those big families, the old blacksmith saw that these rich guys did the same thing.

This behavior itself was somewhat of an emotional release, but it also gave Du Chengfeng the opportunity to realize that something was wrong.

"Is it dark yet?"

Noticing that the surroundings were beginning to grow dark, the old blacksmith subconsciously picked up his scabbarded sword.

"Time flies by so fast..."

"It's not dark."

Du Chengfeng reminded the old blacksmith.

"It is the Mighty One who has arrived."

"Already here?"

The old blacksmith looked around instinctively, but it was still dark all around.

The darkness gradually deepened and even began to turn into darkness.

In this pitch-dark environment, the only thing the old blacksmith can rely on is the sword in his hand.

"You're going to help me, right?"

The old blacksmith said this to the sword in his hand.

But in the face of such almost pleading words, Du Chengfeng did not give any response.

Just because, he is facing what he is facing right now.

The old blacksmith's vision might have been obscured, but Du Chengfeng, who had no eyes, could sense it clearly at this moment - that familiar burly figure, the Yaoguang Star Lord who was supposed to have died, was standing in front of them at this moment!

But the old blacksmith was completely blind to the danger that was so close at hand.

"I told you I'd be back."

Yaoguang Xingjun spoke, but the voice came from all directions.

"I can understand your hostility towards me, but now...how do you feel about this mortal?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng remained silent.

After all, he has no mouth now, so he naturally can't say anything.

But the flames on the sword had already replaced his answer.

The old blacksmith also felt the temperature burning on the sword, which gave him more confidence - after all, the old man still remembered that this sword had also been burning with flames when he faced those two evil masters before.

That couldn't even be called a battle. The two evil masters didn't even have the ability to fight back. In just a moment, the two evil masters were killed on the spot.

So, now facing a powerful being who is not even as good as the evil spirit master... there should be no problem, right?

That should be fine, right?

It should be... okay, right?

He could clearly feel that the magic sword in his hand was already burning with flames, but why was it still pitch black around him?
"The light is blinding, it is so dark that you can't see your fingers." The voice of the God of Light once again rang out from all directions.

"Perhaps in your opinion, following a mortal is better than following an enemy like me... But have you ever thought about how much effort you would have to put in to light the way for a mere mortal?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng didn't say anything.

But the flame on the sword became more and more vigorous.

But no matter how strong the flame was, it was still unable to illuminate the surrounding darkness, as if all the light had disappeared at this moment - or in other words, all the light had been sucked away, sucked away by the suddenly appearing Shining Star Lord.

"What made me the Star Lord was my greed for light."

The voice of Yaoguang Xingjun came from all directions again.

"So you killed me, I don't blame you, after all, this is my own problem, you just took advantage of my existing problem, this should be praised for your cleverness... But this time, you don't have a chance."

Having said that, even the figure of Yaoguang Xingjun himself had disappeared from Du Chengfeng's perception.

"Now I am back, as the Lord of Black Light, what can you do this time?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng remained silent.

He should have known long ago that none of the star gods who could fly to the sky on their own were easy to deal with.

Just like this Yaoguang Star Lord, even though he had been killed once by his all beings, he still reappeared in front of him at this moment - God knows what kind of secret method Yaoguang Star Lord used. However, it was too late to investigate these things now, because the enemy had already blocked him in Jiange Town.

The good news is that there is only one enemy coming. Obviously, even though Yaoguang Star Lord died once and became the so-called Black Light Star Lord, he still covets his power - this is why Yaoguang Star Lord is the only powerful one coming. Obviously, the cover-up for him may still be there.

There are no other powerful beings coming to support him, and there is only one Yaoguang Star Lord, so he is not completely without a chance of winning.

As for the bad news...

At this moment, the Shining Star Lord is already firing at full power.

With just one test, the powerful Star Lord Yaoguang had basically destroyed the old mortal blacksmith - although it was very likely that the Star Lord Yaoguang did not see his activation condition of equality for all beings, it didn't matter anymore, because the old blacksmith, as the sword wielder, had lost the ability to fight from the very beginning.

And now, even Du Chengfeng has lost his perception of this Yaoguang Star Lord.

"Shining Star Lord... the technique of manipulating light?"

Recalling his opponent's name, Du Chengfeng's heart sank.

Originally, he thought that the ability of this Yaoguang Star Lord was mainly to hurt people with light, but who would have thought that his real ability was to blow out lamps and pull out wax - once he lost his perception and the trace of his opponent, what could he do even if he had a sword in his hand?

He drew his sword and looked around at a loss.

This is the old blacksmith's current situation.

In the pitch darkness, the old blacksmith blindly waved the sword in his hand, but no matter how hard he chopped, he still couldn't feel anything being cut - the old blacksmith even suspected that the sword was too sharp. But only Du Chengfeng knew that the old blacksmith really didn't cut anything.

Nothing was hit, and the Shining Star Lord seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

But Du Chengfeng knew clearly that this Yaoguang Star Lord did not disappear out of thin air.

He could still feel the sense of threat lingering around him.

Even the old blacksmith could feel it. The threat was so clear that it made him feel uneasy and even broke out in a cold sweat.

"Look, this is the mortal you're looking for."

The voice of the Shining Star Lord came again from all directions.

"He can't even be considered a proper swordsman. He doesn't have any self-control at all... Speaking of which, I'm curious about a question. With your ability and judgment, you should have chosen to leave after killing me. But you still stayed here and even waited until I came back to kill you."

Having said this, Yaoguang Xingjun's voice paused.

"You don't want to leave? Do you think that with only your body left, you can still kill me once again with your special ability? Or do you..."

The voice of Shining Star Lord became deeper.

"Or is it this mortal's greed that tripped you up, so you didn't leave?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng, who had no mouth, still did not answer.

He was searching carefully for the source of the sound.

"Look, you're still trying to be clever and trying to determine my location by sound... Don't you think I can think of such an obvious flaw?"

The voice of Yaoguang Xingjun sounded again.

"This is the effect of the three turbidities on you. The mortal you found has committed the turbidity of greed, and you have also committed the turbidity of ignorance... Do you think you can really defeat me with just your insignificant little cleverness?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng chose a direction and tried to swing the sword.

The flaming sword energy streaked towards the distance, but only cut off a column.

"Your attack is meaningless."

Yaoguang Xingjun commented like this.

"Speaking of which, your behavior itself is a bit strange. With your ability, it would be more convenient for you to move freely, but you insisted on bringing a mortal to drag you down... You definitely wouldn't do something completely useless. Let me guess, is that mortal very important to you?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng swung his sword silently again, and several pillars were cut in half.

Such an attack was naturally ineffective, and it also made Yaoguang Xingjun shake his head even more.

"If this is the level, then you and this mortal..."

boom--

Before he could finish his words, the whole house collapsed.

"Got you!"

Aiming at the only place that was not hit by the falling beams and purlins, Du Chengfeng controlled the old blacksmith's right hand and thrust forward with the sword.
