Unseen Immortal of Three Hundred Years - Chap 91
Not knowing or remembering, but hearing.
……
Just heard.
Wu Xingxue stood still, still not turning her head.
The scorching red in his eyes had not faded, he looked at a certain point in the void, and asked: “Then… who is Wu Xingxue whom you have heard of?”
He waited for a while and heard the answer.
Xiao Fuxuan was quiet for a while, and said, “City Master Zhao Ye.”
After a long time, Wu Xingxue responded softly: “Oh.”
He suddenly felt that people were really strange.Obviously this scene has been expected for a long time, and I have imagined it countless times in the past hundred years, but I still feel sad when I really hear this answer.
He was still sad.
It felt like the heart was touching the tip of the sword. He lowered his eyes and watched the blade slowly being nailed inch by inch.
He heard himself speak softly again, saying: “Since that’s the case, then you must have heard what Zhaoye City is.”
“I have heard.” The person behind said: “The place where most of the demons in the world live.”
“The place where most of the demons gather…” Wu Xingxue repeated.
His eyes still fell on that empty point, until the fog on his pupils faded, he blinked his eyes and said: “The person who told you the rumors must have a lot of words, and the words are long-winded and awkward. How about me?” Let me tell you, when people talk about Zhaoye City, there are only two words, Moku. When they talk about Zhaoye City Lord, they only have two words…”
He paused and said, “The devil.”
The process of slowly nailing the tip of the sword against the heart was too long and too difficult, and he might not be able to stand upright until the end.It’s better for him to take a step forward and nail it to the end.
The blood on his finger dripped into shallow puddles on the ground, he looked down, his voice melted into the night like a mist: “The person who told you the rumor should have just heard it, and he has never fought against that monster. .Otherwise he should warn you, if you see that devil, don’t talk to him like this. Remember to draw your sword as quickly as possible, otherwise…”
He stopped talking, and heard the person behind him answer: “How about it.”
“Otherwise you won’t be able to kill him.”
The moment the voice fell, the entire pavilion suddenly felt a cold wind.When the wind suddenly passed through, pale frost instantly covered the entire second floor.
The coldness carried a mountain-moving force, which could freeze a living person instantly, without breathing.Whether it is a god or a demon, the energy in the whole body will be completely stagnated at that moment, making it difficult to circulate.
Everyone who had fought against City Lord Zhao Ye knew how frightening that moment was.Because as long as they move slowly, even if it’s just a blink of an eye, their throats will be clamped.
Those few fingers were clearly thin and straight, they looked like they had never been stained with dirt or heavy objects, but they were like heavy locks of cold iron, as long as they were clamped, they would not be able to break free.
Many people have lost their lives in this hand…
But this night was an exception.
The golden light and sword shadow appeared almost at the same time as Bai Shuang, accompanied by the sound of howling like a breaking wind.At the moment when the ice was frozen, the sword shadow just faced each other sharply.
There was only the sound of breaking ice, and the broken ice and snow flakes exploded.
The two coercive auras collided brazenly, one was the pure fairy aura with arrogance and evil intentions, and the other was the thick and ink-like breath of evil spirits.
Under the shock, Xiao Fuxuan saw the vague outline of the demon, enveloped in snow foam and black mist.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the other party was empty-handed, a little… thin and lonely.He always felt that the opponent should be holding something in his hand, a knife or a sword.
There should always be some weapons and magic weapons.
Perhaps it was because the devil lacked a sword in his hand, so later he would push the devil to the ground with a gap of a sword length.
That was the closest they had been to each other in 100 years, so close that they could see their shadows in each other’s eyes.
Xiao Fuxuan half-kneeled on the ground, pressing the demon’s shoulder with one hand, and holding the sword in the other.
The snowflakes swept across the bridge of his nose, he turned his head to blink away the snowfoam and then turned back, his eyes swept across the face of the devil.
It’s very strange, it’s obviously a person who has never seen it before, and obviously there is no obvious trace of alteration on that face.But he just felt that the other party was too easy.
Those eyes didn’t match the bridge of the nose and lips like that, but he didn’t know what kind of face those eyes should have.
The eyes of the devil were frosty, and there were mottled blood stains on the frosty ground.Perhaps due to the influence of those bloodstains, there was also a layer of faint red in the devil’s eyes, so faint that it was impossible to distinguish carefully.
He looked at the light red, and heard the voice of the devil.
The demon said softly, “Why don’t you keep your sword out of its sheath?”
His sword was hanging by the side of the demon’s neck, facing a gate of life, but he didn’t really draw it out.And as long as it doesn’t really get out of the sheath, it can’t be regarded as a complete killing move.
Xiao Fuxuan frowned, but did not answer.
He couldn’t explain why, and even when the devil asked aloud, he realized that he didn’t make a killing move.
He clenched the hand holding the sword hilt, looked down at the man under the thick demonic aura, and replied after a long time: “It’s not yet time.”
It should be because it was not the time yet, and he hadn’t received the heavenly edict to eradicate the devil, so he subconsciously left a little room.
And not because of anything else.
After hearing his answer, the devil said after a while, “Is that so…”
There are rumors in the world that the big devil of Zhaoye City has an appearance that doesn’t look like a demon, and is good at deceiving people’s hearts.There is some truth to this statement.
Because when the eyes were half downcast, the tails of the eyes were slightly lowered, giving people an illusion, as if the devil was sad at that moment.
Xiao Fuxuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and before he could figure it out, he felt his finger suddenly empty.
The person who was pressed to the ground suddenly turned into a cloud of snow mist and dispersed.
Xiao Fuxuan’s brows tightened, and then he realized that what he had pushed to the ground just now was actually just an incarnation of the devil.As for the deity…
The devil’s voice sounded two steps away, saying, “Xiao Fuxuan.”
Xiao Fuxuan raised his eyes suddenly.
After the other party called his name, there was no further text.Maybe it’s just to confirm whether he is the Tianxiu Shangxian who specializes in killing demons.
Those eyes were turned away from the light, as black as ink.The demon looked at him for a long time, and said, “Next time…”
The devil fell silent for a moment, and said, “Don’t call me Wu Xingxue.”
When the voice fell, the tall and thin figure dispersed like snow foam again.
Seeing that the snow foam really dissipated in the wind, Xiao Fuxuan stood up holding the sword.
He suddenly felt… the pavilion was too deserted.
***
After that day, Zhaoye City was shrouded in dark clouds for a long time.
Because everyone who saw Wu Xingxue returning to the city noticed that the city lord’s expression was a bit sleepy.His face was pale and colorless, illuminated by the early morning light, paler than clouds and smoke.This made his half-drowned eyes extremely dark, making it even more difficult to see through.
Some unknowing demons thought that it was an opportunity for him to take advantage of his spiritual damage or some kind of injury, so some people tried to get into it for several days.
It wasn’t hard for them to get in, and it was even smooth.
But it didn’t take long for the other demons in Zhaoye City to realize it.Those people entered the sparrow and never came out again.
For a moment, the entire Zhaoye City was a little restless.No one likes to be suppressed by an absolutely strong person, silently threatening, but they can’t get rid of their instincts.
During that time, some previous theories were brought up again——
Some demons said: “The city lord has designated this place as the Devil’s Cave, Zhaoye City, to attract all the demons to live here, and there may be other purposes.”
Others echoed: “I said that a long time ago, but unfortunately no one believed it.”
In fact, it’s not that no one believes it. The demons first gathered at this time, and many of them were suspicious.But they stared at Wu Xingxue for a long time, but they didn’t see any clues.
Demons have always done what they want, obeying immediate enjoyment.If decades, or even 100 years, they don’t see the clues, they won’t bother to think about it anymore.
What’s more, they are both demons, with their natural nature, who would bother to set up a game that lasted a hundred years?
So those sudden suspicions still didn’t last long, just like before, they disappeared within a few days, and no one mentioned them anymore.
They calmly settled in Zhaoye City, as if all the demons in the world were born to submit to this place.
***
After the Apricot Lantern Festival, Wu Xingxue hadn’t stepped out of Zhaoye City for a long time.
Later, they met several times again, maybe it was God’s will in the dark, or maybe it was a kind of destiny between immortals and demons.Every time is the most inappropriate state, the most inappropriate occasion, the moment when you least want to be seen…so every time it is a mess everywhere.
After going to the human world, Wu Xingxue always deliberately avoided some places, avoiding places where Xiao Fuxuan might appear.
He has heard countless people call him “Zhaoye City Lord”, and also heard countless people say that he is “running rampant and heinous”. He can treat him normally and turn a deaf ear to it.But he still couldn’t stand in front of Xiao Fuxuan calmly.
That taste is actually more uncomfortable than splitting the soul.
Wu Xingxue avoided it for a long time.
It is heard that during that period of time, Tianxiu Shangxian frequently received Tianxie, and he always traveled to and from the northern end.I also heard that Tiansu was always working in the north, but sometimes appeared in the south.
They seem to use the whole world as a boundary, going around in circles.
When they were far away, they were separated by mountains and seas, but they listened to another person’s news amidst the gossip of the people around them.When it is close, it is the distance of a city.
Once, Wu Xingxue caught a glimpse of Xiao Fuxuan’s trail from a distance, immediately turned his back and took a step forward.And when he landed in another deserted city thousands of miles away, looking at the ruined buildings and horse paths, he suddenly remembered that this was the abandoned capital of the imperial city.
He once walked on this horse path with Xiao Fuxuan, tapped the mask on his knuckles, and asked Xiao Fuxuan: “What if there is a day when there are no immortals and no demons in the world?”
They laughed and chatted about “the future” at the beginning, but now they are getting used to turning their backs.
That day, Wu Xingxue stood on the empty horse path for a long time, but couldn’t move.
***
This kind of going around went on for quite a while, until one day, Wu Xingxue saw Xiao Fuxuan in the Valley of Great Sadness.
