Chapter 781 The Heart Mirror Reflects the Soul
"Light of the soul..."

——The moment he heard this term, Zhao Zukong felt dazed for a moment.

But the next moment, the young man who had been seriously injured spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up with a loud laugh. There was even more disdain in his words: "It's ridiculous, what do you think the light of the soul is?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhao Yingkong to answer, Zhao Zukong grasped the sharp horn on his head, pulled it down vertically, and then threw it in the direction of Zhao Yingkong.

Although Zhao Zukong didn't seem to use much force in this throw, his speed was extremely fast, and he hit Zhao Yingkong in an instant. After Zhao Yingkong turned his head to avoid it, the sharp horn even drew a black trajectory crack in the air, as if it had cut through the entire space.

"This is the light of the soul." Seeing Zhao Yingkong turn his head to avoid it, Zhao Zukong didn't care, he kept throwing the posture and sneered. The scales around his body grew and recovered quickly, but the tail was severed from it and fell to the ground.

"Witch...the powerful bloodline has given us unparalleled resilience and an innate curse."

Zhao Yingkong did not stop Zhao Zukong's actions. She seemed to have answered the question incorrectly and looked at the young man in front of her calmly: "Even if you use the power of the fourth-level gene lock to temporarily optimize these mutated genes, But this can only solve an urgent need... The more you use this kind of power, the deeper you will sink into the quagmire of power."

"And you clearly saw it with my little sister under the family headquarters. If we use this power excessively, what kind of monsters will we become... It seems that you have completely forgotten even these. ”

"So what? Whether you have seen it or forgotten it, it is no longer important."

Bloodshot eyes were densely covered in Zhao Zukong's eyes, and the crimson radiance and killing intent that had been briefly suppressed by the power of "Annihilation" once again swept through his body.

And that's not all. At this time, Zhao Zukong's body suddenly had a cold and cold murderous intention, as well as the cruelty and ferocity of treating all living beings as ants, even worse than before he was awakened just now.

The young man whispered hoarsely: "All I need is to kill everything and cut off all the shackles of my past..."

"It starts with you, the fake... no, the core left behind after the little apple rots!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zukong stretched out his right hand, and the Yan Demon Sword, which had been nearly integrated with his arm, fell out of his hand and hung on his waist. The next moment, the young man bent down slightly and made a motion to draw the sword.

"Zheng!"

Where the light of the sword started, the space in the world of Sword and Fairy was cut into several huge gaps, like butter cut by a hot knife. Countless lines criss-crossed the space, turning the space into countless grids!

Cunbu, the space-type spiritual light, coupled with the Yan Mo Knife, splitting space is not much more difficult than cutting tofu cubes.

Fortunately, Zhao Yingkong, who had seen the light of Zhao Zukong's soul in Resident Evil 2, had already dodged in advance and avoided the opponent's space-breaking attack. But Zhao Zukong, who had regained his sanity at this time, was unreasonable and followed immediately. His whole body was like a falling leaf in the wind, and his movements were as fast as thunder. The Yama knife in his hand drew a crescent arc, Follow Zhao Yingkong's footsteps and strike with your sword!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the Yan Demon Sword and the Three-Element Heavy Halberd collided thousands of times, a huge roar erupted in the air, and countless white blazing sparks burst out from the intersection of the blades.

In the original battle situation, Zhao Yingkong had the absolute advantage, and could even beat the monster-turned-Zhao Zukong to his knees with his bare hands... But when the two of them fought again, the one who had the advantage was the one who was embarrassed before. The incomparable Zhao Zhukong!
"What's wrong! Aren't you going to use the light of your soul to kill me!"

The expression on Zhao Zukong's face was fierce and twisted, and the alienation on his body had not completely faded away. Compared with the polite and gentle Zhao Zukong in Zhao Yingkong's memory, he was a completely different person... But his The strength is genuine!
——What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

The essence of gene lock is the power of evolution, and his identity as a "witch" gave Zhao Zukong a recovery ability and potential far beyond that of ordinary people.

After losing his mind and massacring all of Jimo, Zhao Zukong has always been the target of cultivators from Legend of Sword and Fairy World. However, this high-intensity survival pressure actually prompted the genes in his body to undergo rapid transformation. Optimization and iteration have once again led to self-evolution.

In fierce battles with different types of cultivators, as well as opponents who were also at the fourth level, Zhao Zukong accumulated rich combat experience, and also gained a better understanding of his spiritual light "Cun Bu".

The most important thing is that Zhao Zukong has a weapon snatched from Cecil, but unexpectedly fits the light of his soul very well, the Yama Demon Sword, which is no less powerful than a tiger. Not to mention compared with the Zhao Zukong in Zhao Yingkong's memory, even compared with Zhao Zukong himself who had just entered the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy, he was like a completely different person!
His physical fitness is not what it used to be, and he has regained his self-awareness. He is no longer fighting with only his bestial instincts. Although he was seriously injured, Zhao Zukong's momentum was unprecedentedly high. With cooperation...for a moment, Zhao Zukong actually put Zhao Yingkong at a disadvantage!
Faced with Zhao Zukong's crazy demeanor and the mocking words coming from his mouth, Zhao Yingkong didn't even react at all.

Because she had anticipated the current situation long before she "awakened" Zhao Zukong with the light of her soul.

Regardless of talent, strength ultimately depends on accumulation.

Zhao Yingkong, who retrained and unlocked the gene lock from scratch, although she had the original memory of this body, did not return to the fourth level until Red Alert II.

In terms of accumulation, Zhao Yingkong cannot compare to Zhao Zukong, who is deeply trapped in his inner demons and has been using the power of the fourth-level gene lock.

Although he was at a disadvantage, Zhao Yingkong did not show the slightest panic. Not only was his face as calm as water, but he was also playing steadily, defending rather than attacking. His moves were all in an orderly manner... Looking at that, Zhao Yingkong was completely stunned. Su Kong was treated as a test target.

Zhao Zukong naturally discovered this. The young man frowned and the moves in his hand suddenly changed direction. It is no longer the method that both of them are extremely familiar with from the Assassin family, but they are trying to achieve forcible crushing in terms of "power" with their own basic attributes that are stronger than the other's, and with a greater degree of subtlety!
Using strength to defeat skill has always been the most effective way. Zhao Zukong suddenly increased his strength, and Zhao Yingkong's previous fighting method was naturally unsustainable.

The three-yuan heavy halberd in the girl's hand decomposed again and turned into the two double knives of Yasha Sanhua that were most commonly used in daily life. With the force of Zhao Zhuukong's direct thrust, she moved lightly in the air, her The slender figure flickered and dispersed like a phantom...

Suddenly, another Zhao Yingkong suddenly appeared on the field, attacking Zhao Zukong from the left and the right!

"Are you still resorting to such little tricks at this time?"

Looking at Zhao Yingkong's phantom in mid-air, Zhao Zukong showed a disdainful sneer. He had seen this method derived from the "Clone Shadow Transformation Technique" more than once in the previous battle. ...So when faced with the two Zhao Yingkongs who attacked at the same time, Zhao Zukong, who had regrown scales around his body, instantly recognized the main body among them. As for the other Zhao Yingkong, Zhao Zukong just glanced at him and ignored him. Judging from his previous experience, although this method has a physical clone, no matter the attack power, speed or destructive power, it is far from the original body. At best, it can only have some harassment effect, and even this attack He couldn't even break through his defense.

Facing Zhao Yingkong's body, Zhao Zukong waved the Yan Mo Dao in his hand this time. The blade rotated like a whirlwind. While parrying all the attacks of the Three Yuan Heavy Halberd, the next killing move would be delivered to him. out--

——Suddenly, a fatal sense of danger suddenly hit Zhao Zukong from the side!

In that life-or-death moment, Zhao Zukong relied on instinct rather than calm thinking. His body reacted faster than his mind, curling up almost subconsciously, trying to use the best posture to resolve the coming impact.

But even though he responded at such a critical moment, Zhao Zukong still suffered an extremely violent blow on the flank... A white right fist wrapped with black light, like a cannonball with destructive power, crashed It broke through the scales on Zhao Zukong's skin, defeated his body defense line, and hit him straight in the side!

"Wow!"

Blood spurted out from Zhao Zukong's mouth uncontrollably. Although he had to relieve his strength at the last moment, the power of this blow was far more powerful than he imagined. It was not just superficial damage, but penetrated deep into the inside, killing Zhao Zukong. The empty kidney and the surrounding organs were completely exploded, and blood was spread across the sky!
Although his temperament has changed, his fighting consciousness is better than before. Zhao Zukong's reaction is also extremely fast. With the power of this blow, he immediately flew out with pain and rolled on the ground several times. Although this series of actions looked quite embarrassing, it effectively allowed him to avoid Zhao Yingkong's pursuit... …

But the young man didn't seem to care about his injuries at all. He was just stained with blood and dust. He raised his head in disbelief and shouted: "This is impossible! I have seen the exchange of mirror images at the Lord God, but even the strongest It is impossible for the S-class to exchange for the 'four-fold existence', so that the clone and the main body can use exactly the same power..."

——Unless, that is what you call the light of the soul.

"Yes, this is the light of my soul."

Before the extremely embarrassed Zhao Zukong could express the unspeakable words in his heart, Zhao Yingkong spoke calmly. The other one, Zhao Yingkong, stood beside her. The two of them seemed like two sides in a mirror, or like reflections in the water.

This sentence was no less than an invisible slap that could not have been louder. It turned all of Zhao Zukong's previous remarks about the "light of the soul" into a boomerang, and the two combined into one and slapped him hard on the face.

"..."

Faced with this tone that sounded more like ridicule than ridicule, Zhao Zukong could no longer say a word. He just gritted his teeth and jumped up from the ground, facing the left and right attacks of the two Zhao Yingkongs again.

Although he had just endured an extremely heavy blow, in these short seconds, Zhao Zukong's flank began to recover incredibly, and new flesh and scales grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The "Witch" gene, coupled with the ability of the fourth-level gene lock, exerted an effect of one plus one far greater than two; however, the joint attack of the two Zhao Yingkong was also far superior to before!
In battles of the same level, numbers are often the most intuitive advantage. In addition, the two Zhao Yingkongs were connected with each other, and their movements were natural. One of them held Sanye in his hand and made deadly moves with his sword, while the other had his hands wrapped in black light. Zhao Zukong felt like he was facing a monster with two heads and four arms. For a moment, He could only passively wield the Yama Sword, and was suppressed until he could only parry, but had no power to fight back.

However, only the ability to parry does not mean absolute defeat. The light of the soul called "Cunbu" integrates offense and defense, and is still invincible when used in defense and dodge. Even if two Zhao Yingkongs with exactly the same combat power join forces to attack, Zhao Zukong, who has stronger physical strength, can still defend against all odds——

"...It's time to hit the road, brother Suikong."

Until, a voice appeared.

It was the sound of wind, like the fluctuation of air, and also like the words of a girl that he had heard countless times.

When this familiar voice sounded, Zhao Zukong's thinking hesitated for a moment, and the genes in his body, which he was frantically optimizing and iterating, suddenly lost control of his will and began to riot at this moment!
When genes are controlled by others, and when individuals no longer obey the collective, the consequences are disastrous - the right hand holding the Yama sword was cut off by Sanye's sword and minced into pieces in an instant, and Ten fingers wrapped with the light of the soul touched Zhao Zukong's chest in the next moment!

"Shh!"

Blood suddenly appeared.

Even though Zhao Zukong reacted in the shortest time, activated his spiritual light without thinking, and moved his body strangely back tens of meters, narrowly dodging this fatal blow... Even so , Zhao Zukong's chest was also cut with ten huge gaps, and even the scales and surface skin were cut open. You can even see the beating bright red heart in his body!
——However, all this is no longer important.

Because Zhao Zukong, who was almost disemboweled, just stared blankly in the direction of Zhao Yingkong, looking at the petite figure standing next to Zhao Yingkong who suddenly appeared.

"...Ruikong?"

It was a figure that, like Zhao Yingkong, had been seen countless times in the spiritual world. The expression on his face, every part of his body, and even every strand of his hair were exactly the same.

At this moment, the living Zhao Yingkong and Zhao Ruikong once again appeared in front of Zhao Zukong... If the pain in his body was not so real and his gene lock had not felt the slightest sign of abnormality, then Zhao Zukong Sora really doubted whether he had unknowingly fallen into the spiritual world again!

"You have been defeated, Zhao Zukong."

Zhao Yingkong walked forward slowly, bent down and picked up the Yan Mo knife from Zhao Zukong's arm that had been chopped into pieces.

——On her left, Zhao Yingkong, who has the same appearance and figure as her, is "annihilated" with the light of the soul wrapped around her fingertips.

——On her right is the petite Zhao Ruikong, who should have died completely on the island, but suddenly appeared here.

Facing Zhao Zukong, who was in disbelief and almost beginning to doubt his life, Zhao Yingkong calmly waved his sword and pointed it at the enemy in front of him——

"I was defeated by the light of my heart, the mirror of my heart reflecting my soul."
