NFBE Chapter 438 I killed a demon.
Chapter 438 I killed a demon.
The surrounding black mist vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
Lei Chuxi placed the purple fledgling on the ground, then slowly got up and walked back the way she came.
The black mist that had disappeared reappeared and slowly surrounded the boy.
Lei Chuxi's tattered clothes gradually became whole again.
"Brother?"
The girl's voice came from behind again, hoarse and shrill, filled with fear and unease.
Lei Chuxi paused slightly, but the boy did not turn around and continued walking forward.
"Brother, it really hurts..."
The girl behind him spoke in a tearful voice, gripping Lei Chuxi's heart tightly.
The boy stopped, suppressing the urge to turn back.
Lei Chuxi knew that once she looked back, she would be dragged into the eighteenth cycle by her obsession.
In the cycle, he will kill Zhenzhen again.
He killed his own sister.
"Brother, I feel so bad."
"Does brother not like Zhenzhen anymore?"
The girl's voice behind him carried a reproachful tone, cold and distant.
Lei Chuxi cast a mind-clearing spell on herself, silently reciting it in her mind:
That's not Zhenzhen.
His true love never calls him "brother," but always calls him "elder brother" with a gentle smile.
His Zhenzhen would never whine or complain to him about being in pain, not even once...
Not even once?
Did it happen? Before being killed by oneself?
The girl, covered in blood, nestled in his arms, her hair disheveled, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Brother, it hurts so much."
"Brother, it hurts so much!"
The sound he remembered overlapped with the screams behind him, causing the black-clad youth's pupils to shrink sharply, and he instinctively turned around.
Take another look, isn't that just another cycle?
Take another look...
"Lei Chuxi!"
A sharp shout came from behind him, and Lei Chuxi saw a white figure appear in the thick fog in front of him, appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye like a ghost.
The man swiftly raised his hand and pointed a finger at the boy's brow:
"Certainly!"
Lei Chuxi's body was instantly paralyzed. It felt as if something icy cold surged into his body from between his brows, freezing the flowing spiritual energy in its path and preventing it from shifting even slightly.
Only his eyes can move.
Seeing that the boy in front of him had stopped moving, the inner demon patted his sleeves and stepped aside.
Xue Lan slowly emerged from the black mist, her gray-white eyes sweeping over Lei Chuxi before looking directly behind her.
The woman's voice was icy cold, with a hint of mockery:
"If I cannot control you, will I become like her?"
The inner demon's gaze passed over Lei Chuxi's shoulder and landed on the monster in the corner.
The monster's main body was a girl dressed in a moon-blue dress, with a pair of dark purple wings growing from her back.
Dark demonic energy enveloped half of her body, transforming into ferocious tentacles that lashed out in all directions.
It seemed that if Lei Chuxi turned around, he would be dragged into an endless abyss.
“I am different from ordinary inner demons. I am not purely a twisted thought,” the inner demon said calmly.
She is still Xue Lan's celestial soul, and has some connection with the Yuanming Realm.
Therefore, it will not be distorted, but will appear beside her in the form of Xue Lan.
Thinking of this, the inner demon added another sentence:
"And you've never been afraid of me."
Xue Lan smiled upon hearing this: "Indeed."
Throughout the entire process, Xue Lan never feared her inner demons.
"The reason she became like this in the illusion is all your fault."
Xue Lan looked at Lei Chuxi, who was frozen in place, and spoke slowly and clearly:
“Lei Chuxi, the one you should kill is not the scarred her, but the one in your memories who is ferocious and terrifying because of fear.”
She wasn't a pitiful, suffering younger sister.
Instead, it is a monster controlled by its inner demons and has lost its mind.
Lei Chuxi's heart skipped a beat. Her pupils contracted sharply.
Xue Lan looked at the young man and thought that this journey to the secret realm could end here.
She already knew their deepest obsessions and thus their weaknesses. She then stepped in to forge a good relationship with them.
It's not advisable to interfere any further.
Lei Chuxi heard Xue Lan's soft voice:
"It's time to move forward!"
The words were like a thunderbolt to Lei Chuxi.
As the saying goes, all things in this world are subject to fate, but who knows that each person reflects their own moonlight!
Xue Lan and the inner demon vanished in an instant, like thin sand on a plate.
Lei Chuxi drew his long sword from his waist and slowly turned around.
I saw a monster created from my own associations and suspicions...
The boy chuckled softly:
"How could I kill Zhenzhen?"
"I killed demons!"
Before the main forging ground of Wan Gong Fang.
A gap was torn in the azure sky, and Jiu Sheng, who had been guarding outside, immediately stepped forward and bowed to Xue Lan.
"Master of the shop."
"No need for formalities." Xue Lan smiled faintly and waved to Jiu Sheng, her voice slightly hoarse.
"I would be grateful if you could help me find Master Wang and the others. Xue Lan has something important to discuss with them."
"I'll go right away."
The spirit of the Wan Gong Fang circled Xue Lan, making sure he hadn't been harmed in the secret realm, before disappearing into thin air.
Xue Lan smiled and sighed:
"I've now become a key protected object of Wan Gong Fang."
The inner demon, who had already retreated into Xue Lan's sea of consciousness, sneered and said:
"The one who broke the deadlock after waiting for ten thousand years, shouldn't we cherish him?"
Xue Lan chuckled and nodded as she walked toward the main training ground.
Jiu Sheng acted very quickly; Xue Lan had only been in the main training ground for a short while when Wang Jingchun and the others arrived.
The brisk woman at the head of the group quickly approached Xue Lan, then bowed respectfully.
"Wang Jingchun has met the owner."
"Senior Wang, there's no need for such formalities. Xue Lan has summoned you all here because she believes that the Wan Gong Fang trial is nearing its end and it's time to prepare for the Forging Realm."
Although they had already accepted Xue Lan's plan, the masters in the Wan Gong Fang still fell silent for a moment when they heard the term "casting world" again, and even Wang Jingchun stopped talking.
Finally, it was Master Qin, who had questioned Xue Lan earlier, who spoke first:
"Just give the order, Master!"
The old man's voice was strong and resonant, firm and composed.
"Ouyo!"
Xue Lan silently praised him, never expecting that Master Qin would be the first in the Wan Gong Fang to successfully conquer himself.
The people around her remained silent, but Xue Lan no longer cared.
She believed that the silent weapon refiners were all doers, and that they could simply assign tasks directly.
With a flick of her sleeve, the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map was revealed and unfolded before everyone.
"Everyone, Xue Lan intends to use his own soul to forge a realm, and he also wants to recreate the things that are made from his soul."
The Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map shimmered with golden light, and then maps of the upper and lower realms appeared, marked with red dots.
"I need nine smelting furnaces made of Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron. I hope you can help me!"
Wang Jingchun, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:
"Master, although the Wan Gong Workshop possesses numerous rare and precious materials, it only has two pieces of Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron. If you wish to forge a smelting furnace capable of melting your soul, you can only refine a maximum of four! The rest..."
Xue Lan waved his hand dismissively: "I still have two more treasures hidden in the Northern Region of the Upper Realm!"
Master Qin was somewhat puzzled: "The Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron is the hottest substance in the world. Could it be that the workshop master liked weapon forging in his previous life?"
Xue Lan spoke frankly: "I just want to see what the thing that is said to be able to melt my clan's ice spirit root looks like."
The reason was so far-fetched that the surrounding masters were speechless.
You want to see, you want to see someone get two pieces in one go!
"But even so, we are still missing a piece of Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron."
Xue Lan smiled mysteriously: "A friend in the Upper Realm has it, I'll go get it for you later!"
