Chapter 375: The Essence of Taixu Sword Energy!
Chapter 375 Taixu Sword Qi·Shen Yun!
"You two, are you going to be my enemy too?"
Mikael's smile was extremely indifferent. It was obvious that he was mocking some kind of behavior that was beyond one's ability, but it also made people feel that he seemed to be looking forward to it.
Hua opened his mouth and instinctively wanted to explain something, but bit his lips again after two or three seconds.
Since it has come to this point, it is better not to say any more nonsense without nutrition.
All the thoughts should be conveyed in the battle.
She gestured backwards, and she and Ling Shuang dispersed on the left and right. Together with Kevin approaching from behind, the three of them silently formed a loose encirclement.
"Hua, this is for you."
Kevin took out a key of domination from somewhere and threw it to Hua as a weapon. In the battle 50,000 years ago, the Fire Chaser Moth brought all the keys of domination to the moon. In the end, not many were actually used, and most of them were brought back to Earth. There are about a hundred swords scattered on the moon, and finally handed over to Hua by Mikael. However, in the long time, most of those keys of domination were lost in the world along with the masters given by Hua.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a key of domination, Kevin has plenty of it.
Hua took the golden sword, and flicked his long sleeves, gently stroking the sword with patterns. The sword then lit up with a dazzling light and disappeared in the blink of an eye. But it didn't actually disappear, but turned into a pair of boxing gloves, like Hua's hands, hidden in the wide robe.
The three did not attack immediately, their eyes kept crossing in the air, as if they could communicate tactics in this way... Ha, yes, Hua has the eighth key of God after all, and it is not difficult to build a mental communication network.
Mikael squinted and scanned the circle. Perhaps it was the right choice to attack first before the three of them had discussed a complete strategy, but he did nothing, just stood there quietly waiting.
But people always have to find something to do, at least to kill time, otherwise they might be too lonely. So he cast his eyes on the earth, on this city that was calm and peaceful just an hour ago.
The land under his feet can only be described as black, but it is not flat, but wrinkled with gully-like lines, just like burnt meat... Well, there are similarities and differences. Mikael poked the soil with his toes. Except for the top layer of burnt black, the inside... was also burnt black, and roasted meat would not be like this. But if there is any similarity, it is the crisp sound from time to time when the sword tip rolls over the land, and the rich smell of barbecue floating in the air around.
As for the city? As for the buildings? As for the ruins?
There are almost no standing buildings in the whole city, and even the broken bricks and tiles can't be seen. The sky fire will burn everything it encounters equally, and the remaining ones will turn into fine dust in the subsequent vibrations.
The church spire in the distance still stood, but the pure gold cross on top of the spire had long since flown away. The fortresses, city walls and most of the buildings in the city had disappeared. Only the small mountain range in the south of the city remained standing, but upon closer inspection, one could also see traces of the mountain being flattened.
Of course, this was only within the visual range.
With his and Kevin's strength, even if the two of them deliberately restrained themselves at the last moment, the damage caused could not be limited to the small Klosten.
Vienna, the so-called largest city in Europe, more than a dozen kilometers away, might not be in a better situation than here. If you have to say it...
"Forget it, I'm a Herrscher... that's all."
Mikael looked at the scorched earth and turned his gaze back to Kevin. He sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, a piercing chill came from the three vital points of the neck, waist, abdomen and chest at the same time-
Ling Shuang held the sword in his backhand, and the sword blade passed horizontally across his neck, just cutting the artery on the side.
Kevin swung the Skyfire Great Sword and slashed across. The thick sword cut through his waist and abdomen, and was finally caught by the unusually hard spine. The dancing flames on the sword penetrated into his body through the broken abdominal cavity, burning his internal organs crazily. The blood and fat mixed and burned with a "sizzling" sound, and white water vapor drifted out from the wound.
The last and most fatal blow came from behind. Hua put his five fingers together to form a palm knife, and accurately pierced his heart.
To be precise, it was about two centimeters to the right of his heart, which was also the location of the Herrscher core of most Herrschers.
To defeat a Herrscher, taking out the Herrscher core is not necessarily the easiest way, but if it can be done, it is undoubtedly the simplest and least costly way.
Of course, if you want to take out a Herrscher's core, you can't just know its position on the physiological coordinates. After all, the essence of the core is an imaginary singularity, an existence between imaginary space and real space. Generally speaking, only people who are also Herrschers can accurately take out the core.
Hua is not a Herrscher, but she is better than a Herrscher. She has a body comparable to that of a Herrscher given by the Divine Voice, and she also has a Herrscher's core - although it is a dead core, it still has a tiny amount of power.
In theory, she should have accurately taken out Mikael's Herrscher core, but when her left hand pierced through Mikael's chest, her palm was empty, and she didn't even notice the existence of the core.
"Sure enough, is the end different from ordinary Herrschers?"
When this sentence flashed through her mind, her palm had already turned sideways, and then she slashed towards the position of the left heart, breaking Mikael's heart into pieces before the skyfire burned.
Mikael's expression was completely frozen, without surprise or pain. He still closed his eyes as he did the moment before, as if nothing had happened.
So the three of them also maintained their own movements, but that was not because they wanted to do so, but because they really could not move.
That's right, time was frozen at this moment, only their consciousness was excluded. Mikael probably did it on purpose. After all, if it wasn't so, they would know nothing about what happened before the next moment.
That wouldn't be shocking enough.
Time began to flow backwards, slowly and firmly at first, and then the speed of the reverse flow became faster and faster. Everything everyone saw seemed like a video rewinding at high speed. Between the flickering light and shadow and the extreme dizziness, everything returned to the moment when Mikael first closed his eyes.
If the previous time had developed, the three of them should have acted in unison, but everything that happened before was like a dream in a trance, and the future predicted in the dream was so real that even after stopping and holding their heads and frantically trying to distinguish, they vaguely felt that it had actually happened.
"The power of the end?"
Although they had felt the power called "time" 50,000 years ago, Kevin and Hua still could not be completely calm when they experienced it again.
As for Ling Shuang, who had never seen this power, she still didn't understand what happened. She thought she was dazzled and was about to attack again. She caught a glimpse of her master standing there motionless, and she realized that she had stopped charging and froze in place.
But Kevin couldn't care less. His figure disappeared again, and he appeared half a step in front of Mikael like a broken PPT. In just such a short moment, his appearance has become completely different from the last frame. Half of his body has turned blue-gray, and purple horns have grown on his head and shoulders.
The blazing Skyfire Greatsword pierced into Mikael's chest again, and then time stopped at this moment again.
First it was still, then it flowed backwards, everything was no different from before, but in a trance and a blink of an eye, Kevin returned to the original position, and even the traces of half-beast transformation on his body due to the man-made collapse were not left at all.
"What? Still not giving up? Do you want to come again?"
Mikael opened his eyes and smiled faintly at Kevin. The latter leaned on the greatsword and squinted his eyes. I don't know what he was thinking about, or communicating with Hua.
Mikael curled his lips and saw that the battlefield returned to silence again for a while... Perhaps as he said, after being alone for a long time, under the influence of 50,000 years of loneliness, if he didn't say something, it would be like talking to himself in the past, and he would feel particularly lonely.
He began to explain everything that had happened before:
"Haha, Kevin, you said before that here today, either you die or I live, right?"
Without waiting for Kevin to answer, Mikael was not prepared to let Kevin answer at all, he laughed first.
"Okay, very good, as you wish."
Mikael pointed his index finger at the top of his head, and in the middle of the dark sky, a faint white light circle hung unyieldingly.
"Don't you think it's strange? There has never been an eclipse that lasts so long, right? Well, I won't keep you in suspense. The power of the end is time, which you do understand very thoroughly, but in actual application, it is not as simple as time. Of course, you may not understand it even if it is more complicated, but since you have mastered time, it is inevitable to involve cause and effect, which is the inspiration Su provided me.
"Do you see the eclipse ring in the sky? I played a little trick, you can think of it as using the power of time to directly anchor the cause and effect - wherever the eclipse ring can be seen, Mikael will not die, it's that simple. "
After saying this, seeing that the others did not react, Mikael was surprised:
"What's wrong? Why are you all silent again? Is the truth too cruel? Then I'll give you some hope, um, um, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now, yes, yes, it's just time going backwards..."
He pointed his hand to the sky and stretched it upward, snapping his fingers listlessly - "Snap!"
The light and shadows around him began to change abstractly again. When the light and shadows around him calmed down, Hua, Kevin and Ling Shuang were not even in the same place.
Kevin returned to the crowded square, and the nun with a black winged eye mask was shouting in a hoarse voice like a crow:
"God's maid, bring the evil criminals forward and prepare to accept the Lord's judgment! "
Ling Shuang and Hua returned to the rooftop where they had stood before, and together with the other six disciples, they looked at the dark world from afar.
Then, the three of them raised their heads at the same time and looked at the thin eclipse circle above their heads. The next moment, Mikael's voice rang in their minds:
"How is it, is the backflow thorough enough this time?"
"This..."
"..."
"Heh..."
The three of them had their own reactions, but it did not prevent Mikael from continuing:
"Kevin, Hua, you can't win. No matter how many times you kill me, you can't win. But I can also give you another choice - as long as you admit defeat now and listen to me, I can make all the battles that happened after this cease to exist, Klosten will not be destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people on this plain will not suffer from unwarranted disasters. But if you insist on continuing the meaningless battle with me, then everything will go back to the moment before."
"..."
"..."
"..."
What a familiar choice. This is just the trolley problem that has been done countless times.
Precisely because it is too familiar, and because it has been done countless times, Kevin and Hua responded almost at the same time as Mikael's voice fell.
As for Ling Shuang?
While she was still hesitating and at a loss, the issue ended with two votes against, one abstention and zero votes in favor.
The light stretched into a thread, and in the dizzying changes, everything returned to the point where it was anchored in the long river of time.
The dark land and world, the smell of burnt food and smoke that piled up at the tip of the nose and rushed in, this was not caused by nodding or shaking the head, but because of the time that just flowed back, this sin was shared by the person who shook his head in an unstoppable way.
But Hua did not regret it, and she would never regret it.
Regret is just a kind of escape, and she remembered that Mikael said that escape can't save anyone or anything, and all escape can do is make herself feel better.
The sound of fighting had already sounded, Hua raised her head, and while she was stunned in the same place, Kevin and Ling Shuang had already fought with Mikael.
She stared at the figure in front of her infatuatedly, and two identical voices sounded in her mind, but they said completely opposite words:
"Go forward, use your sword, kill him, kill him as the end, kill him as the collapse..."
"Go forward, use your heart to save him, save him, save him who is just Mikael..."
Which voice should I listen to?
Hua struggled in her heart, but her body took a step forward naturally in this contradiction. After all, whether it was to kill him or save him, the only thing that remained unchanged was to "move forward".
So she took a step forward, then another step, and another step forward...
She looked down at her toes constantly crossing forward, and in the end she simply closed her eyes, letting the memories of 50,000 years ago come back to her mind.
"Then let's do it..."
She stopped ten steps away from Mikael, who was opening his hands. The white light in an instant made it impossible for people to open their eyes. The invisible barrier rolled over in the direction of his palm, and the scorched earth fled around with Mikael as the center. Ling Shuang and Kevin's figures were also lost in the smoke and dust.
Only Hua stood still, only she could stand still, she had entered a mysterious state, just like the words she was chanting:
"God is the ultimate change, wonderful in all things and speaks, can not be questioned. Mikael, I am no longer the me of 50,000 years ago, how can you block this sword?"
The key of domination was restored to the shape of a sword in Hua's hand, she held the sword upright in front of her, and then her whole body was ablaze, like a phoenix, flapping its wings, straight into the sky, burning the dark sky red, and then swooping down quickly, with its open wings, it is hard not to mistake the phoenix condensed by the flames for a giant sword.
"Has it grown to the point where Yu Duchen can launch this attack without it?"
Mikael was of course not surprised by this, just sighed.
"But... Hua, if I also use the same trick, how will you deal with it?"
It's just Taixu sword energy, Mikael wants to learn, it's as easy as eating and drinking water. Besides, who knows if he paused time and practiced alone for two and a half years?
His whole body turned into a golden light, rushing towards the raging fire falling from the sky.
It seemed that until the moment before the collision, the two of them belatedly burst out the name of this style:
"Taixu Sword Qi·Shen Yun!"
The brilliant swords faced each other, and at least one of them ended up with this section.
Soon, Hua heard something shattering, like glass falling to the ground and breaking into countless pieces, but not so clean and neat, it was broken like water, and the sound was dull and long.
What was shattered?
It was not until she felt a trace of pain in her eyebrows that she realized that it was her sword heart that was broken.
Perhaps, when she had to use this sword in confusion and contradiction, the ending of the broken sword heart was doomed.
But Hua smiled at the corner of her mouth-is the person with a broken sword heart necessarily a loser?
