in the edge

Chapter 580 Life for Life
As the saying goes, before you win, think about defeat.

Before coming over to unseal his remaining body, Du Chengfeng actually thought about what kind of problems he would encounter during the battle.

The enemy's methods might be beyond his imagination, which was within his expectations. The enemy might target him, or even be someone he could not defeat at all. He had predicted this before - the swordsman he brought with him was for this purpose. Even if it was an enemy he could not defeat, he could still kill him by force with the Equality of All Beings.

Of course, this means that he must win in a sword fight with his opponent, so he has been studying martial arts diligently in recent times. After all, Yaoguang Xingjun made him suffer a loss, so he naturally has to learn his lesson.

Then comes the biggest and most troublesome problem. After gathering all the elements for winning, there is still one most important link.

That is, whether his sword holder will cooperate.

The old blacksmith before was a man who refused to listen to advice, and ended up losing his life in vain - although judging from the result, the old blacksmith's death was still somewhat heroic, but from a practical point of view, the old blacksmith didn't need to die at all.

Therefore, in the process of walking together, Du Chengfeng was also consciously following the temperament of Constable Tian. Since this sword-wielding man was the kind of chivalrous person who could clearly distinguish between good and evil, if he did more good deeds, he would probably be able to improve the relationship. And along the way, Constable Tian indeed became more and more relaxed, and his resistance to this body control became lower and lower, even to almost non-existent.

From this perspective, Constable Tian might not be as difficult to get along with as rumored in Jiange Town. Perhaps his so-called lack of worldly wisdom is simply because the environment in Jiange Town is too outrageous?
Du Chengfeng thought so for a while.

But looking at it now...

Some of these reviews are not without reason.

Just like now, they had clearly reached a cooperation before, and the cooperation was even going smoothly, but the opponent put the name of an alien demon on him, and Constable Tian turned against him on the spot.

"Are you crazy?"

Du Chengfeng was totally unable to understand, simply because Constable Tian's actions were truly too outrageous. You have to know that if they fell out at this time, it would be impossible for Du Chengfeng himself to get into trouble - even if something happened to Du Chengfeng, the first person to die would be Constable Tian himself.

And right now, Constable Tian is gambling with his own life.

Yes, out of spite.

In Du Chengfeng's eyes, Constable Tian's logic was totally illogical.

“Is now the time to be fussing about these things?”

Seeing the cold wind coming from all directions again, Du Chengfeng continued to fight for control of his body.

"Don't mess around at this time! You'll die if you continue to do so!"

"Even if I die, I want to die knowingly!"

Feeling the will coming from the broken sword in his hand, Constable Tian stiffened his neck instead.

"Are you a demon from outer space?"

"you……"

Du Chengfeng was stunned. He never expected that at this most critical moment, he would be in trouble because of Constable Tian.

"You...forget it."

Seeing that the cold wind was approaching, Du Chengfeng knew that his plan was impossible and decided to just give up.

"So what if it's a demon from outside the domain? So what if it's not a demon from outside the domain?"

Having said this, Du Chengfeng simply gave up the fight and no longer tried to control Constable Tian's body.

"You have seen everything we have experienced and done along the way. I think you can judge for yourself whether it is good or bad... If you really think that what I did was a hypocritical performance and that this sentence from the outer demon is the true judgment, then I have nothing to say."

Having said that, Du Chengfeng completely gave up the fight.

After all, winning or losing this battle, in the final analysis, really has no impact on his life or death. A powerful being with a strong will cannot be killed by conventional means, and his fate at best will be to be suppressed and sealed - to look at it another way, it means just waiting a few more years for a new Sword Wielder to find him.

This is really not a difficult task, at least not for Du Chengfeng.

On the contrary, without the protection of his military force, the cold wind would blow away all the flesh and blood on his body in just a moment.

It’s not that he didn’t try, but this was Constable Tian’s own choice.

When Constable Tian no longer trusted him, failure was inevitable.

"Let's choose a more reliable sword wielder next time."

The cold wind blew on the blade of the dagger, and Du Chengfeng thought so.

Or maybe he should just not use a sword wielder and do it himself. After all, two consecutive lessons have made him feel clearly that these strangers are most likely unreliable - instead of thinking about sincere cooperation, it is better to rely on himself.

Although the process will become more tortuous, but at least...

"Om-"

It was at this moment, when Du Chengfeng had already given up, a big hand tightly grasped the hilt of the broken sword.

"Varied……"

Du Chengfeng, who had already decided to fail, had not yet come to his senses when the short sword and the ancient long sword were swung up one after another.

"Om-"

The blazing sword wind swirled around his body, and the pervasive cold wind couldn't even blow in!

"Now you think of using me to save your life?"

Feeling Constable Tian's actions, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sneer.

"It's too late. There's no chance anymore."

This is not a harsh remark, but an objective fact.

It was because in front of them, the burly figure like a giant god had already flown into the air with the cold wind.

Although it was just a simple flight, it was like an insurmountable obstacle for Constable Tian, ​​who was a mortal.

After all, Constable Tian is only at the stage of cultivating with evil spirit entering his body.

He couldn't even release his evil spirit, let alone fly in the air. Although it was only a few feet high, it was a position that Constable Tian could not reach no matter what - let alone whether he could reach it, it was still a question whether Constable Tian could block the cold wind that cut through his flesh and bones.

After all, the sword skills that Constable Tian just displayed were taught by Du Chengfeng himself.

This sword technique, named Qingkong Sword, originated from his first powerful enemy, He Xiqing. Du Chengfeng knew the advantages of this move, and naturally knew its disadvantages. He also knew what consequences this move would have for Constable Tian - just like now, after just swinging the sword, Constable Tian was already sweating profusely.

Release the evil spirit, release the evil spirit. In the final analysis, it can only be released after the evil spirit overflows.

But right now, Constable Tian only had evil spirit entering his body.

The evil energy entering the body means that Constable Tian's body is still in a relatively empty stage. The evil energy has not yet been fully filled, so it is naturally impossible for it to be released - in other words, every time Constable Tian swings the Qingkong Sword, his body will become weaker.

If the evil energy cannot be consumed, it will naturally turn into consuming qi and blood.

This means that every time Constable Tian swings the Qingkong Sword, he will be one step closer to running out of energy.

But if he didn't swing his sword, the biting cold wind would immediately take his life.

If he draws the sword he will die late, and if he doesn't draw the sword he will die early, this Constable Tian will die anyway.

"Unless I come to help you."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng finally sighed.

"Let me do it instead. After all, I promised you that I would protect your life, even if you change sides at the critical moment..." "No need!"

Constable Tian suddenly stiffened his neck again.

This also made Du Chengfeng simply give up the idea of ​​rescue.

Since Constable Tian was seeking his own death, he naturally had nothing to say...

"boom!"

At this moment, Constable Tian suddenly slashed the ground with his sword!
"you……"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt as if something was wrong, because at this moment Constable Tian had completely given up resistance. The biting cold wind blew on Constable Tian's body, and the scattered ice gravel quickly tore Constable Tian's clothes and even tore his flesh.

But Constable Tian, ​​covered in blood, was still waving his sword.

Instead of swinging the sword at the cold wind, swing the sword at the ground.

"boom!"

Another sword was swung down, and under the huge force, Constable Tian was even shaken and flew into the air!
This move of the Blue Sky Sword is not used like this!

"you……"

At this moment, both Du Chengfeng and the giant-like burly figure were stunned, because the actions of Constable Tian were too abnormal and too bizarre - but the giant-like figure finally reacted first, after all, he had been staring at the enemy in front of him.

Yes, whether it is the extraterritorial demon in the broken sword or this tiny mortal, they are all on his list of targets to be killed.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

"Come."

The giant, burly figure raised his hand and the biting cold wind came again. This time the wind was stronger and more violent, even like a substance!

"Boom!"

In just a moment, Constable Tian's lower body was torn into pieces by the cold wind. Wherever the cold wind passed, it was like a heavy hammer passing through, and the scattered flesh and blood even exploded directly into bloody mist!
But Constable Tian was still swinging his sword.

"boom!"

He swung a sword, but it just hit the empty space behind him.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a useless counterattack under severe injuries, and impotent rage under near death.

But Du Chengfeng, as the Broken Sword, has clearly sensed that this sword was not aimless.

Although this sword hit the air, it also brought a recoil force!

And now, Constable Tian, ​​who had lost a large piece of flesh and even the lower half of his body, was so light.

The light body drew an arc in the air, and passed through the oncoming cold wind. Just when the cold wind had been dyed red with blood, the broken sword finally pierced into the chest of the giant.

The giant god flying in the air took a look at the broken sword on his chest. Compared to his huge body, the broken sword was as ridiculous as a toothpick.

But the tiny, even insignificant wound caused by this ridiculous broken sword that looked like a toothpick became the most horrific and fatal wound.

"boom--"

The last bit of energy and blood poured into the hilt, and the Blue Sky Sword suddenly exploded.

The chest of the giant figure suddenly exploded, revealing a huge hole.

"you……"

The giant god-like figure wanted to do something, and even began to shrink his body in mid-air, but no matter what he did, the huge hole in his chest still could not be filled - as a powerful man, he could already perfectly control the flesh and blood throughout his body, but at this moment, his flesh and blood control completely failed.

It was as if he had lost all his extraordinary powers, as if he had become a mortal.

A mortal who received such a serious injury would surely die.

The same is true for him now.

"Boom-"

The huge body fell to the ground, splashing up large pieces of ice and gravel.

Immediately afterwards, another broken body fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of blood.

"you……"

Feeling Constable Tian's almost exhausted state, Du Chengfeng couldn't understand. He didn't know why Constable Tian did this. He clearly turned against his own army at the last minute, but suddenly started fighting desperately - you know, he originally thought that Constable Tian wanted to fight to survive, and it was just the same survival instinct as the old blacksmith, or perhaps it was the courage of dying.

But who could have thought that Constable Tian would actually rush forward so bravely, exchanging his own life for that of the arrogant giant god.

Why did he do this? What was this Constable Tian trying to achieve?
"I... am not a smart person."

It was at this moment that Constable Tian, ​​who was barely breathing, suddenly spoke.

"I never knew how to get along well with others. I also didn't know who to trust and who not to trust... So I really want to say sorry to you for what happened just now."

At this point, Constable Tian paused.

"But I also know that just saying sorry is useless. I was the one who held back at the critical moment. A simple sorry, however light, means nothing..."

The more he spoke, the quieter Constable Tian's voice became.

"So I can only prove myself with my actions and tell you with my actions..."

At this point, Constable Tian was already completely dead.

But in the end, Du Chengfeng still felt the will from Constable Tian.

"you……"

Du Chengfeng felt a little sad for a moment.

Perhaps this Constable Tian was really incompetent, ridiculously incompetent, and really did not understand the ways of the world. It could even be said that he was not in a clear mind. He once held them back at the most critical moment, putting the two of them in a deadly situation - but at least at the end of his life, this Constable Tian did do an amazing thing.

With only his mortal body filled with evil spirit and the broken sword in his hand, he was able to kill a powerful being in exchange for his own life.

To be fair, even if Du Chengfeng were to do it himself, he might not be able to match the bravery of Constable Tian.

"So, there's no need to say sorry."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

"You've done very well... You've done very well."

With this sigh, Constable Tian, ​​whose body was already covered in blood, closed his eyes with relief.

"Then you must do it, as you said."

In the end, Du Chengfeng felt this kind of will.

"I believe you."
