Chapter 289: Get Lost
After hearing that teasing remark, Zhu Zhuqing beside Shui Bing'er didn't show any shy expression.
She wasn't the kind of hypocritical little girl, at least not in front of others.
So she nodded frankly and admitted: "Yes."
As she spoke, her eyes drooped and the smile on the corners of her lips was restrained.
"I thought no one would do that for me."
There was some self-mockery, some fear, some touching in her voice, but more of it was some unknown strange emotion.
"My background is different from yours. I was born to be a stepping stone for others. I am very lucky to have come this far. I should be content. To be honest, I am not that afraid of death. I just can't bear to leave him."
"Do you think you will die?" Shui Bing'er was a little surprised. "Don't you believe in Elder Su's strength?"
"You don't understand. Qian Renxue was forcing him at that time. If Su Cheng chose to attack directly, Qian Renxue's life would be in danger." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her eyes a little empty, "I know he won't hurt Qian Renxue for me, so I thought I was dead at that time."
"...That sword was really terrifying."
Shui Bing'er sighed.
To this day, she still feels scared when she recalls the scene at that time.
That was the real divine power, which was beyond the understanding of soul masters and could destroy the world.
She didn't know that it was because Qian Renxue couldn't fully control the powerful power in her body at that time, which caused some energy fluctuations to escape from the sword light.
And that little aftermath almost made the onlookers breathless and trembling.
"Anyway, that person has left Wuhun City now, and it seems that he has completely cut off ties with Elder Su. In this way, you are the final winner. I see that you can't wait, right? Shouldn't you prepare to drink your wedding wine?" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing was a little dazed, Shui Bing'er quickly changed the subject and chuckled jokingly.
"Well, if he is willing, I will naturally... naturally..."
When she said the latter, Zhu Zhuqing's voice suddenly became a little stuck, and her fair and pretty face flushed instantly.
Shui Bing'er was puzzled for a while, and didn't understand why her friend who was still chatting and laughing just now suddenly changed his face.
Moreover, this was not the first time the two talked about Su Cheng, and they had never shown too much shyness in the past.
Follow her line of sight.
Only then did she realize that Su Cheng himself had come nearby and stood not far away, silently watching the two of them.
I don't know how much of the conversation just now he heard.
"... I won't bother you for now."
Shui Bing'er smiled awkwardly, nodded to Su Cheng, and left first.
"How about you? Keep talking."
When there were only two people left here, Su Cheng put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders and lowered his head to the beauty's cheek.
A faint fragrance lingered around her mouth and nose. In the warm spring light, the delicate earlobe was white and red, exuding a agate-like luster.
He didn't deliberately eavesdrop, but with the improvement of his realm, his gestures became more and more natural. If no one deliberately investigated, it would be difficult to be noticed.
And the conversation between the two people just now gradually deepened, so naturally they paid less attention to the surroundings.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't take it up.
The sound beside her ears was wrapped in gusts of hot wind, which seemed to penetrate the auricle and ear canal, penetrate the eardrum and drill into her heart, making her heart numb and her earlobes become more rosy.
Her expression was calm, and she asked calmly in a very calm voice: "Have you completely recovered from your injuries?"
"Yes."
Su Cheng nodded, and stopped joking. He stretched out his finger and pointed in front of the two of them.
There was no energy fluctuation between his fingers, and it was not like in the past, surrounded by the faint sword energy condensed by the innate power, but just a very ordinary sword finger in the air.
But this seemingly ordinary fake move brought an extremely strong sense of threat to the sensitive Zhu Zhuqing, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up.
"Have you gained new insights?"
"It can't be called a comprehension. It should be said that I have completely integrated all the powers. In the future, there is no need to distinguish between the so-called soul power, blood or innate power. There is no distinction between my body and various energies. At most, I use the martial soul as a weapon. But after a while, maybe even the martial soul will no longer be needed."
"In other words," she looked at Su Cheng's fingers, her eyes thoughtful, "you also have the strength of a god in a normal state?"
She knew that in the past, Su Cheng could climb to the level of a second-level god in a short period of time with the help of his martial soul.
"That's right. But the peak strength is still not as good as before, it just stably crossed the threshold of the third-level god."
"Is that so..."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slowly. She could understand the difference. The third-level god strength that can be maintained stably is definitely more meaningful than the explosive state in the past.
For a while, she was happy for Su Cheng, but she felt a little lost in her heart.
She had obviously worked hard enough, and the so-called family missions that troubled her in the past had long been ignored by her.
Moreover, after he dissolved the accumulated power of the immortal herbs in his body, he successfully entered the third volume of Xiantian Gong and cultivated innate power. Now his strength has already surpassed that of ordinary Titled Douluo.
When she is promoted to Soul Saint and achieves the true body of the martial soul in the future, she will usher in a qualitative change, and then she will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the peak Douluo.
But even so, she can also realize that the gap between herself and Su Cheng is getting bigger and bigger.
Not only Su Cheng, but also the strength shown by Qian Renxue that day is equally terrifying.
Even if the other party's state at that time cannot be maintained for a long time, as long as he has experienced a similar peak, it may only be a matter of time before his strength becomes normal in the future.
"Why, no confidence?"
Su Cheng saw the strange emotions she showed for a moment and asked with a smile.
"A little."
But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Zhuqing didn't refute this time, but nodded directly to admit his inner thoughts, which made him stunned.
In Su Cheng's heart, Zhu Zhuqing's greatest advantage is her will. She doesn't believe in fate or talent limitations, and has always been tenacious and hardworking.
"Haha, I haven't been so confident before. How can you tell that I am confident?"
Seeing him stunned, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head. Between her beautiful eyebrows, there was a brilliant smile, and her almond eyes sparkled.
She turned around and stretched out her delicate fingers, as delicate as green onions, and gently stroked Su Cheng's cheek, which was slightly cool.
"Whether you have confidence or not, it doesn't affect my continued efforts. I will do my best to do the best, you don't have to worry about me. Thank you for letting me see the real future."
That day, Su Cheng risked his life to block the sword for her, which brought her more than just emotions such as touching and shocking, nor was it the relief of saving his life.
The most important thing was that it gave her enough confidence and hope for the future.
However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't plan to tell Su Cheng these words and these things in detail. She just asked softly: "Since your injuries have fully recovered, what are your plans for the next step? When will we leave for the Xingluo Empire?"
"After a while, let me deal with other things first."
"What is it? I can accompany you."
"Uh, I'm going to go to the Blue Silver Grass Forest these days."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Zhuqing's face gradually withered and disappeared.
Finally, she turned back to her cold and frosty look.
"Go away."
She said lightly.
Just as Su Cheng went to the Blue Silver Grass Forest to meet Ah Yin as scheduled.
On the other side, Tang San, who refused the King of Slaughter's recruitment, was walking alone on the road of hell with a terrifying atmosphere and endless murderous malice.
Although he had never taken the immortal grass, his strength was also very good because he had practiced the Clear Sky Hammer in advance.
However, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial spirit had not awakened to become the Blue Silver Emperor after all, so he naturally could not have the talent field rich in vitality and purification ability that came with the Blue Silver Emperor.
In the nearly two years of training in the City of Slaughter, his mind was severely eroded.
His face, which was already as stiff and dead as a dead tree, now looked a little distorted, and his eyes were bloodshot and extremely terrifying.
But he finally reached the end of the road of hell.
Tang San showed a smile without any smile on his face, looking even more ferocious.
Compared to two years ago, although his cultivation has not improved much, his strength has undergone a tremendous transformation.
Now he is confident that he can easily defeat the three versions of himself from a year ago.
He finally understood why he, who possessed the unique skills of the Tang Sect, was powerless in front of Su Cheng that day.
In the final analysis, it was nothing more than the use of power, and there was nothing profound about it.
"Hehe, Spirit Hall..."
Tang San licked the corners of his lips that were cracked by the high temperature and murmured in a low voice.
"Even such a place that hides filth continues to be preserved, it's really hypocritical. Even arranging for the younger generation to come here for training, using this corrupt power taken from the darkness, the Spirit Hall still has the face to claim to be bright and righteous?"
In the abysses on both sides of the narrow road, dark red blood rolled and flowed, emitting the high temperature of magma.
During the two years in the Slaughter City, he had carefully studied the filthy drink called "Bloody Mary". Its nature was no different from the plasma here. It should be the evil blood of countless fallen people mixed with poisonous condensation over the past thousand years. It is the root of the Slaughter City.
And what kind of place is the Slaughter City based on this?
Dark, evil, terrifying, dirty...
Such a world should not exist at all. No matter who left it, it is better to disappear.
"But..."
Tang San glanced at the hot and thick poisonous plasma at his feet and felt it was difficult.
With his current strength, it was obviously impossible to destroy it.
Moreover, there was not much time left for him to leave, and his body had already reached the limit of what it could bear.
"Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan..."
Thinking of the few people he met by chance in the Slaughter City before, Tang San couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
With the performance and number of wins of these people in the Hell Killing Field, it was almost inevitable that they would enter the Hell Road in a few days.
In addition, they are both members of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, so they must trust each other and be able to work together. With each other's cooperation, it won't be as difficult as it was for him to pass the test.
It's no wonder that there will be several new "killing gods" in the Slaughter City in the future, and most of them will belong to the Spirit Hall.
"...If we continue to stay here, we don't know how many treacherous and evil people will benefit from it, which will really cause great harm!"
With a cold snort, Tang San turned back and continued to move forward, temporarily leaving the fantasy of destroying this place behind.
The situation in front was just as he had expected before. With the increase in temperature and the rise in blood plasma on both sides, less than half an hour later, the exit could be seen.
The black cave top was about 200 meters high, which was not a big problem for Tang San.
He first used the powerful force of the Eight Spider Lance to jump up, and then with the help of the spirit blue silver grass and the hidden weapon flying claw, he successfully came to the entrance of the cave.
At this time, Tang San suddenly found that the murderous aura around his body seemed to be constantly pulled by a special force.
Finally, looking back at the hell road he had just walked, he secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Whatever the Spirit Hall is unwilling to do, I, Tang San, will do. In the future, I will definitely destroy this place completely!"
The two years of training in the Slaughter City are experiences he will never forget in his life.
But he doesn't want anyone else to experience this terrifying world in the future.
"Righteous spirit masters, it's better to take the right path. This place is too dangerous. As for evil spirit masters, don't even think about getting benefits from this place..."
The next moment, his whole body rushed into the white light curtain.
Everything around him seemed to be changing, and he felt as if he had entered another very special world.
All he saw was snow-white nothingness, and his spirit was also restricted by a special force, and all pressed back into his body.
In this white world, he couldn't use any strength in his body, and the only feeling was coldness.
That was the chill brought by the murderous aura, which attacked from the outside world and released from the body, over and over again, making Tang San tremble.
When the perception began to fade away with the consciousness, he felt the gradual formation of the domain, which was a powerful domain condensed by murderous aura...
I don't know how long it took, when Tang San woke up from the pain and was about to turn over and sit up, he suddenly found that his left hand was a little heavy.
Turning his head, he saw that the Clear Sky Hammer was in his hand.
And on the top of the hammer head, there was an extra pattern, which looked like the blood-patterned bat shape on the ground of the Hell Killing Field when the Hell Road was activated. It was just much smaller and white.
He tried to feel the white pattern, and in an instant, surging white light was released from the Clear Sky Hammer, but it soon turned colorless, and Tang San's perception of the surrounding world immediately became different.
Even the surrounding grass and trees seemed to tremble slightly in this invisible airflow.
"So this is the Killing God Domain..."
"Xiao San."
At this time, a deep voice suddenly sounded in Tang San's ears.
Tang Hao didn't know when he had quietly stood not far in front of him.
After two years of not seeing each other, the other party seemed to be a little older. However, Tang San was extremely keen to feel a similar aura from his father.
Tang San's body shook, and he quickly turned over and jumped up.
"Dad." He walked quickly to Tang Hao, and his stiff face was still cold. That was the painful experience in the past, plus the sequelae left by the two years of living in the Slaughter City.
"I have successfully passed the experience of the Slaughter City and obtained the Killing God Domain."
Tang Hao nodded after hearing this, and his old face was complicated.
Compared with the huge pressure brought to him by Bibi Dong and Su Cheng, Tang San is really far behind now.
"... You are very good, you have worked hard enough in the past two years, let's go."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and did not wait for more praise, but hurriedly followed in silence.
The appearance of his father brought him a burst of warmth invisibly.
After Xiao Wu's death and Zhu Zhuqing's betrayal, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang have become the only remaining pillars of support in his heart.
