in the edge

Chapter 592 The Weakest Demon Soldier
With doubts about Wenquxingjun, Yingzongxingjun found another holder of the remains.

Due to his years of seclusion, Shadow Star Lord actually has no social connections among the powerful. The reason he was able to find another holder of the remains was because he had previously participated in the gathering organized by Wenqu Star Lord - but even if he came to the door, he actually didn't know the other person's name, and didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.

However, he does not know the other party, but the other party knows him.

"Is Shadow Star Lord here? Please come in!"

The strange powerful man was quite enthusiastic and welcomed Shadow Star Lord into the cave.

To the surprise of Shadow Star Lord, he was not the only powerful person coming here. Long before him, more than ten powerful people had already arrived here. After a brief communication, Shadow Star Lord realized that these powerful people actually came here to seek refuge.

"If I stay in my cave, I'll be dead if that demon from outside the realm comes looking for me!"

Those powerful people expressed this idea one after another.

"Only the demon soldiers can fight against the demons!"

"you……"

Shadow Star Lord was a little dazed for a moment. He felt that it was a little unreal. You know, these powerful people relied on their own strength to fight their way to the sky. Which one of them is not a hero? But now they are like this, this fear of death, it is really...

"Hi."

Thinking of this, Shadow Star Lord shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's just talking about others, what can he do? Isn't he also afraid of death? Is he also afraid of the horrible future?

Perhaps this is also the limitation of the powerful. Although their will has transcended death, it has only transcended death.

They have not yet overcome their fear of the unknown, nor have they overcome themselves.

After all, this kind of thing is impossible to do. As one becomes stronger, the self that needs to be surpassed becomes stronger. One day, they will be caught up by their own past shadows and then swallowed up.

At this moment, Shadow Star Lord had already seen the intent of death on the faces of the powerful men in front of him.

The moment they actively seek shelter, the moment they start to seek a way to survive, they are actually getting closer to death.

Therefore, Shadow Star Lord did not choose to stand with those powerful men. He did not think that he should die with these people. It was not that he did not have the opportunity to change. He still had the remains of the extraterritorial demon in his hands.

However, he was still a little unsure about how to use this piece of body.

So, after taking a deep breath, Shadow Star Lord finally plucked up the courage and went to find the strange powerful man.

"I came here this time for something else."

As he said this, Shadow Star Lord expressed his concerns, but he omitted the details about Centipede Star Lord.

"What do you think about this matter..."

"It's certainly possible."

To Shadow Star Lord's surprise, this strange and powerful man actually nodded.

"Although the path pointed out by Wenquxingjun sounds good, Wenquxingjun is indeed not trustworthy... Just like the matter of the demon soldiers, he has already completed everything quietly, and now he is telling everyone, what does he mean? What does he want to do?"

"This...is true."

Hearing that this strange and powerful being was also questioning Wenquxingjun, Yingzongxingjun couldn't help but nod his head as well.

Indeed, although Wenquxingjun's performance seemed high-sounding, the other powerful beings were not fools either. They could more or less feel that there was something wrong with Wenquxingjun's words - even if all of Wenquxingjun's words were not lies, there must be some key information hidden in them.

How can people trust a person who deceives others while advocating cooperation?

“That’s why we gather here.”

Having said that, the strange powerful man looked at Shadow Star Lord.

"Since Wenquxingjun is unreliable, then we should just stick together to protect ourselves. Since Wenquxingjun knows how to create magic soldiers, we should be able to make them too. Then, as long as we have the magic soldiers in our hands, even if we encounter an attack from the extraterritorial demons, we will at least have the power to protect ourselves... So."

Having said this, the strange powerful man stretched out his hand to Shadow Star Lord.

"Will you join us?"

"I……"

Shadow Star Lord was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to shake his head.

It's not that he looked down on this weak alliance with only a dozen or so powerful people. It's just that he is used to being alone. If he can accomplish things by himself, he doesn't want to cause trouble for others... But from a more practical point of view, this weak alliance really can't achieve anything.

Only cattle and sheep need to travel in herds; truly strong people will only face things alone.

"Wait, why don't you think about it again."

Just when Shadow Star Lord was about to refuse, the strange powerful man stopped him.

"I know you have the remains of the extraterritorial demon in your hands, and you have the ability to face the extraterritorial demon alone, but if both of us hold magic weapons, then when we face the extraterritorial demon, won't we have double the strength? When Wenqu Star Lord and Juyang Star Lord fought before, they also showed that unity is strength. As long as we cooperate, we will definitely survive..."

"Forget it."

Shadow Star Lord thought about it and shook his head.

Even if there are two magic weapons, what can they do? In the end, the magic weapons are still used to deal with the extraterritorial demons. Let's not talk about whether the magic weapons can defeat the extraterritorial demons. Let's just talk about the magic weapons themselves and the problem of Wenquxingjun. These have not been solved yet.

Before finding out the truth, he would not easily use the remaining body of the demon.

So he has to continue...

"Shadow Star Lord, please stay."

It was at this time that the strange powerful man blocked the way again.

"Shadow Star Lord, do you know who I am?"

"Ah this."

Shadow Star Lord choked on the spot.

Paying a home visit without knowing the host's name, probably only the Shadow Star Lord who has been living in seclusion for many years can do such a thing - there was clearly some anger in the other party's words, but Shadow Star Lord always felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

However, Shadow Star Lord was speechless, but instead made the strange powerful man laugh.

"It's better not to know. It's better not to know."

When he laughed to this point, the expression of that strange powerful man suddenly became ferocious.

"You don't even know who I am, and you still think you can get out of this cave today?"

"Varied……"

It was at this time that Shadow Star Lord realized that while he was talking to the strange powerful man in front of him, the other powerful men had already sealed the exit of the cave. Now this cave has clearly become a dangerous trap!

"What are you going to do?"

Shadow Star Lord frowned, and the ground beneath his feet began to turn into green smoke.

Although he was known as Shadow Star Lord, he might be only average in combat, but when it came to escaping, he was definitely first-rate - just like now, even if the exit of the cave had been completely sealed, as long as he wanted to escape, he would definitely be able to...

"Om-"

At this moment, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang out, directly knocking the Shadow Star Lord who was almost about to escape back to his original form.

"you……"

Shadow Star Lord tried to continue to activate the secret technique, but the piercing buzzing sound made it completely impossible for him to concentrate. The sound was so maddening, it was like inserting red-hot iron rods into his ears, which made Shadow Star Lord almost crazy.

"you!"

Shadow Star Lord gathered his strength and turned his head suddenly.

It was at this time that Shadow Star Lord saw that a small fork had appeared in the hand of the strange powerful man.

Yes, the small fork was not a long-handled weapon used for piercing, but a small fork that looked like a dagger. Judging from its shape, it could hardly be used as a real weapon - but the strange powerful man was not operating the silver steel fork in the same way as he would a weapon.

The strange powerful man simply struck the steel fork, and a piercing sound echoed and lasted for a long time.

"Do you think you can run away?"

The strange powerful man sneered.

"Have you ever been curious? Why did you come to my door but still don't know my name?"

"you……"

It was at this time that Shadow Star Lord realized that something really seemed to be wrong.

Yes, if he really didn't know the name of this powerful person, how could he possibly ask about the cave of this powerful person? Even if he really didn't know, in the process of asking, those powerful people he asked would definitely tell him.

But in this situation, what is this...

"Of course, because I don't want you to know."

Having said this, the strange powerful man once again struck the steel fork in his hand.

His brain became chaotic under the harsh sound waves, even his memory became a mess, blood flowed from all his orifices, and even his vision became blurred - it was in this blurred vision that Shadow Star Lord looked at the steel fork again, but this time, the silver-white steel fork looked like a tongue!
Yes, a tongue, a forked tongue cut in half.

What the other party was holding in his hand was actually the devil's tongue!

"The name is meaningless, and the words spoken are also meaningless. The fact that you are willing to believe those things already proves your weakness."

The strange powerful man continued to strike the steel fork, shaking Shadow Star Lord's brain.

"The weak are not qualified to hold the remains of the demon. Only the strong are worthy of possessing demonic weapons!"

"you……"

Shadow Star Lord struggled to get up, but the piercing vibration had already penetrated deep into his bones. Every inch of his body, every strand of his hair and skin could no longer support it. The abilities that made him so powerful could not be used at all!

This is the power of the demon soldiers.

This is the power of the devil's tongue.

It destroyed his five senses, confused the information, and even caused wrong judgments to appear in his mind before he could react... The tongue of the devil was so terrifying!
"I……"

At the last moment of his life, Shadow Star Lord finally took out the remaining body of his demon.

Yes, in order to prevent this dangerous thing from being lost, he always carried it with him. This was originally just a worry out of uneasiness, but he did not expect that at this time, it could actually become his life-saving straw.

As long as he could incubate the remains of the Sky Demon into a demon soldier, he might not be powerless to fight. As long as...

"Zheng——"

The dagger-like steel fork nailed the remaining body of the Heavenly Demon and the Shadow Star Lord to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the steel fork vibrated, and Shadow Star Lord was shaken into a pool of blood on the spot.

"What? You thought I would give you a chance to turn the tables?"

The strange powerful man shook his head and sneered.

The fight has already come to this point, how could he be at ease watching his prey finish forging the magic soldier - after all, when the Shadow Star Lord exposed himself, he had already been hunted down and put on the killing list by many powerful beings. After all, among all the powerful beings who possessed the fragments of the Shadow Star Lord, the Shadow Star Lord who only knew how to hide from the world and live in seclusion was the weakest and the easiest to kill.

As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty unless he possesses a treasure. Since he has taken such precious material as the remains of the devil, he cannot blame others.

He originally thought that since Shadow Star Lord had not been in contact with humans for a long time, he would be relatively easy to deceive. But who would have thought that although Shadow Star Lord was stupid enough to come to him on his own initiative, he still retained his original agility - this forced him to use his magic soldiers to kill him in advance.

Fortunately, although his trump card has been revealed now, he will soon have a new trump card.

"I should fulfill your last wish."

Having said this, the powerful man who had hidden his identity placed the remains of the demon that he had seized on the pool of blood left by Shadow Star Lord.

Absorbing the blood and flesh of Shadow Star Lord, the piece of body that looked like a broken leg was melting madly - and after seeing this scene, the hearts of many powerful people were filled with anticipation.

You have to know that this is a broken leg. Judging from the length of the bone, it is obviously the easiest to be forged into a weapon. If it can also absorb the extreme emotions of the Shadow Star Lord, what will this broken leg become?
Is it a knife? Is it a gun? Is it a sword? Is it a halberd?
Or……

"……What's this?"

Looking at the new magic weapon that was gradually taking shape, several powerful people present suddenly frowned.

What appeared before them was not a weapon.

A pair of boots.

They were a pair of iron boots made of metal. They looked sturdy and thick, but when you actually touched them, they had a soft texture like cloth. The several powerful people present thought about it for a long time, but could not figure out how to kill people with just this pair of boots.

“This is not murderous.”

The leader, who was also the powerful man with a hidden identity, shook his head after taking the boots.

"These boots can't kill anyone. Their greatest use is to escape... just like this Shadow-Phantom, going to a place where no one can find you."

Having said this, all the powerful men shook their heads.

This was probably the most useless demon soldier they had ever seen.
