Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1397 Interception
What Huang Kui said was indeed a very tempting scene, but after all, Ye You had seen too many people, so it was difficult to be moved, even if it was the promise of the demon star.

"Sir, please answer another question for me. Where do you place us?"

"Logically, it should be subject to the new law." Huang Kui also said frankly, "But I have no intention of forcing you. Those who do not want to follow the law can be left to fend for themselves. What I want to tell you is what I have said before. What is the law, what is the future, if you have a choice, you can follow it."

"Well... you are worthy of being called Master Yaoxing." Ye You clapped his hands and smiled, "In that case, please allow me to think about it for a little longer, is that always okay?"

"Any time is fine, with my permission." Huang Kui said.

"As for the third question, please allow me to leave it here temporarily. I am not very knowledgeable and can't think of any questions to ask at the moment. However, I will naturally hand over the specific locations of the three treasures to Your Excellency Monster Star. I believe that with a monster star like you who cares about the world, you will definitely be able to make good use of them."

As he spoke, Yeyou spread his hands towards Riyou. Riyou seemed to have just come back to his senses. He waved his hand, cutting a crack of light in the air, and a picture of mountains and rivers fell out of it.

Ye You picked up the map of mountains and rivers, walked forward, placed it in front of Huang Kui and spread it out.

"The location has been marked for you. How to use it is entirely up to your Excellency Monster Star's judgment."

After delivering the mountain and river map, Yeyou and Riyou immediately left the central army tent. After the two monsters left, Kong Xuan, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly and said, "Huang Kui, these two people from Fengdu don't believe you."

"Empty words without results are naturally untrustworthy. Moreover, facing us directly is just to ask for an explanation for the demons from Fengdu. I am happy to see such demons." Huang Kui said, "It is common sense that the Fengdu demons are unwilling to work with us for the time being. Yeyou was able to hand over three positions, and he must be ranked among the top three among the experts in the world who gather intelligence."

"Are you looking for talent again?" Li Ji chuckled. "Yeyou is indeed different from other monsters. He doesn't imitate humans deliberately, but he is quite similar to humans in many aspects."

"Because I think blindly imitating humans is not the right way. Monsters and humans are different after all, and I can't use my status or power to force all monsters to change their nature. Monsters should have their own way of changing... Unfortunately, I can't think of what that would be like. If Yeyou can find the characteristics of this monster race, it would be a good thing."

Huang Kui was very serious.

"Although Huang Kui has great talent, he is ultimately limited by his knowledge and cannot reorganize the rules."

Wen Rong, who ran out of Guanyuan early in the morning, was talking to Qiu Suying through the Soul Mirror.

"According to you, Huang Kui's approach does not solve the fundamental problems of this world?" she asked curiously.

"It can be solved, but it will take too long, so long that even the demons will probably forget their original goals during this long period of time. Once the goal is lost, it is unknown whether the new rules can operate in the original way. This is a way of completely entrusting hope to future generations, which is very risky." Qiu Suying commented on Huang Kui's approach without emotion, "If you want to be safe, you must hold everything in your hands and thoroughly plan the subsequent process. Even if you want to get away, doing so can at least ensure that everything will operate as you want after you leave... But you can't blame this demon star. After all, the fact that he spontaneously researched this method out of nothing is enough to prove his outstanding talent."

"It's a pity that I met you?" Wen Rong asked with a smile.

"Naturally...Wen Rong, be alert."

"Ah, I know."

Wen Rong did not hold the Soul-Reflecting Mirror. After she ran out of Guanyuan, she had been alert to any movement around her. The man from the Temple of Head Cutting had the ability to control time. She had to seize the opportunity to use the "keyhole" to catch the moment when the other party entered time stop and enter the same stopped time.

However, things seemed different from what she thought.

After leaving Guan Yuan for more than ten miles, she saw the other person standing in front of her. Although she didn't know how he could accurately locate her at such a long distance, Wen Rong didn't need to know.

"This is a fierce battle...Qiu Suying, I may not be able to come to you."

"I'm coming." Qiu Suying said, "You deal with her for a while, and I can take you away when I get there."

"Ha, judging from your habits, it's likely that you're not really here... This opponent is very scary."

Wen Rong stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. The keyhole fell between his wrist and made a crisp collision sound with the hilt.

"I always hate fighting with tourists because it means I have to kill them. There is no psychological pressure to kill the monsters in the scene, but I still have to be a little careful when killing people. I can't let this desire become the norm..."

Having said that, Wen Rong raised his head slightly, looked at Ning Ke, and raised his voice.

"Isn't that right? The future master of the Head-Cutting Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ke reached out and touched the mask gently, then took it off and threw it into the bushes beside him.

"Hey, Demon Suppression Officer! Aren't you very afraid of this battle? Why did you leave me behind?"

"With your abilities, you won't be able to play a role in this battle, and you'll be blocking my view." Ning Ke said casually, "Lie down and don't show your head casually."

"What?"

Ning Ke didn't care about what the mask was thinking. She walked towards Wen Rong step by step, her brows slightly furrowed, and her mind began to become more focused.

"Some people have to disappear eventually." She answered Wen Rong's question.

“Is this the spirit of the Temple of Beheading?” Wen Rong suddenly drew his sword, and the moment the sword came out of the sheath, the demonic aura emanated from the sword!
There are many ways to suppress monsters, and the method used by Zhenjian Villa is just one of them. As for sealing, the keyhole is much stronger than the method used by Zhenjian Villa. With just an ordinary weapon, all monster soldiers can be sealed, and when the seal is released -

The bloody evil roared, black wind blew up, and in an instant the sky and the earth became dark. The resentment emanating from the sword changed the color of the sky and the earth, but only Wen Rong, the releaser, was not affected by it.

Ning Ke also stopped and did not approach casually. Although she could see that this was only the power stimulated by the resentment of the sealed demon soldiers and could not cause any substantial impact on herself, Ning Ke was not trying to guard against these demonic auras.

The most core threat, and the goal she must solve this time, is the keyhole and the vast library connected to it.

"Not attacking?" Wen Rong smiled when she saw Ning Ke stop. She stroked the back of the sword with her palm, and the demonic energy condensed and poured back into the sword. She knew very well how high her martial arts skills were, so she was afraid that she could not rely on martial arts at all in this battle.

Then-

"cut."

The sword light swept past, and following the sword light was a metallic luster that expanded by an unknown amount. The glowing slash crossed with Ning Ke's figure, but what was left there was just an afterimage left by the sudden acceleration of time.

But it's not over yet!

Following the glow, there were ripples in the air, carrying damp but deadly water waves. Ning Ke's path was immediately blocked, because Wen Rong's slashing range was too large, and the area in front of her was covered by the slashing surface. If she wanted to get close, she would have to take the attack.

It's okay to force yourself to eat it, but it's definitely not right...

Ning Ke immediately moved to the side, and then, with the whistling of the wind, countless blade-shaped wind vortices formed in an instant and scattered out from the surface of the water waves!

"You dodged very quickly." Wen Rong didn't expect to succeed with one strike, but she was quite devastated when she missed the target completely. This could be considered her specialty that she had developed in this world.

The wind vortex spread out and passed around Ning Ke, but under the high speed of time, these wind vortex blades were just some slow-motion floating leaves to her. It's a pity... We can't just look at the appearance.

"Wood makes fire..."

Sparks suddenly appeared in the vortex of the wind, and then all the "blades" exploded out of thin air. A circle of nearly one-meter thick explosion fire wall was formed around Ning Ke, and then thick crystalline stones burst out from the flames, blocking the entire circle.

"A cycle has ended." Wen Rong raised his head slightly, "But you saw the clue halfway through?"

The blue light in her eyes gradually became obvious.

"You know this isn't a difficult question for me."

A piece of the crystalline stone wall was neatly cut off. Ning Ke was standing outside the crystalline stone wall. She was indeed blocked. The first acceleration of time also failed to produce any effect. Just as "Wen Rong" in the Infinite Library had said before, Wen Rong was actually a strong opponent in battle.

"Yes, but what if the cycle continues?" Wen Rong stretched out his hand and flicked the sword. "Do you think the attack just now was just one strike? That was not my full strength!"

With a shout, the second sword slashed down vertically!

Ning Ke did not dodge, but used the copper coin sword to counterattack, and the chaotic timepiece in his hand was activated. At the moment when the swords touched each other, Wen Rong suddenly found that the five elements changes attached to his attack had disappeared and returned to the sword body!

Chenshi, the time of going back and forward, is also the fifth time to unlock the chaotic time meter. Ning Ke cannot activate it over a long distance, but once she gets close, she can adjust the opponent's time and skip forward or backward.

It’s a pity that it can’t be too long, otherwise Ning Ke could even try to send Wen Rong back to the time before the keyhole completely eroded her spirit, to resolve the current crisis.

"That's enough!"

She stomped on the ground hard, and with the help of ten times the speed, she was almost instantly in front of Wen Rong. The copper coin sword cut into her neck before she could react.

——Cut in?
Ning Ke saw Wen Rong's sneer, and in her eyes covered with blue light, there was only ridicule and sarcasm. She felt the copper coin sword in her hand become lighter. It was not that she cut off Wen Rong's neck, but that Wen Rong put the sword into her neck!

"The keyhole has the effect of opening and closing. As for how it can be used, it depends on the user's ability. In my hands, it can be an infinite library, and in my hands, it can also be a sharp weapon for battle!"

Wen Rong twisted her head slightly, and relying on the natural attraction when "sheltered", she easily pulled the copper coin sword out of Ning Ke's hand, and then swallowed it into the crack on her neck.

"I told you, if a fight really breaks out, what I need to worry about is killing other tourists." Wen Rong gently touched his neck and smiled, "That's why I asked that question. It doesn't mean I'm a coward."

Ning Ke's expression was uncontrollable. He just glanced at the palm of his hand that had just held the sword, and then moved it a little.

"Is it time to end the warm-up? This scene has a strict limit on the upper limit of strength. If we rely on the power within the scene to fight, we will not get any results even if we fight for a whole day. Besides, you have already started to abuse the ability of the keyhole... This is probably not a method that Wen Rong would use, but the result of your influence on her thinking."

Wen Rong frowned slightly.

That's right, every part of her body has quietly opened keyholes. In this state, any attack can be swallowed up, guided into the endless library, and then dissipated. However, as Ning Ke said, this method is definitely not something Wen Rong would normally use. After all, she would feel a little disgusted even if she opened a few more holes on herself, and keyholes are usually only used to fight enemies.

This thought was forcibly suppressed, but Ning Ke and Wen Rong fought as soon as they met, and there was no chance for communication afterwards. How could she understand Wen Rong's personality traits?

"Have you heard of it? In a life-and-death fight, whoever makes the first move will lose." Ning Ke's figure flashed and he was already ten meters away.

This action made Wen Rong even more puzzled. Although Ning Ke couldn't hurt her in this state at close range, wouldn't it be a disadvantage at a longer distance? She had many means of long-range attack!
Ning Ke raised his wrist, which he had just moved, with his palm facing up and held it in front of him in a grasping position.

"In your time, the Star Realm Temple only had three halls: the Head-Cutting Hall, the Body-Combining Hall, and the Horse-Footing Hall. The Star Realm Temple was originally established for protection and the transmission of information, and the Head-Cutting Hall was only a necessary means of force. In this era, unless you are truly able to enter the temple, you don't know the duties of each hall in the temple... What do you think is the reason why the Head-Cutting Hall has been chasing you until now?"

"Tsk."

"Of course, this is to prevent you from really finding out our strength."

She bent her fingers, and then the space around her began to fluctuate slightly. Ning Ke knew very well that with his current strength, it might be difficult to really judge a tourist who possessed the Tyrant's Treasure, but this was not a problem.

The Hook Finger Oath is a prop held by the master of the Hook Finger Temple. Like the "Death Sentence", it is a distribution center prop obtained under the guidance of Shi Tong, and it is an "inherited" type.

"Make a thumbs-up pledge in exchange for friends who will help each other. I beckon my finger, and those who respond will come!"

An illusory human figure penetrated the rippling space. It could be vaguely seen that it was a woman. When she came here, she only took a glance at Wen Rong and understood Ning Ke's current situation.

"Just finding a reinforcement cannot change the current situation." Wen Rong, or Suoyan, could also understand this. Although it was very difficult to get reinforcements at the distribution center, it was not completely impossible. But just like the state of the people who came, they could not bring rescue with all their strength.

Ning Ke just sneered, and the person who was called also raised one hand and bent his fingers like Ning Ke had done before.

"Thumb, take the oath of watch.

Index finger, to conclude the oath of master and servant.

Middle finger, vow of revenge.

Ring finger, to signify the oath of love.

The little finger represents the oath of a promise.

O people who made the oath, the heavens and the underworld are all connected by one oath, and glory and shame are all realized by one oath."

The master of the Hook Finger Temple activated the oath, and all the surrounding scenes became blurred at the same time under the influence of countless space ripples.
