I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 453: Breaking Defense, Gathering Clouds (5k)

"adversity."

“When you are in adversity, you can derive corresponding effects based on the actual situation.

There are currently two types of effects that can be derived.

64: When in a state of risk of falling, willpower and resilience will gradually increase with the degree of danger, up to % (the progress of strengthening is synchronized with Lieyang)

64. When in an injured state, you can obtain up to % damage reduction when injured (the reduction value is synchronized with Lieyang).

Note 1: Injured status refers to a situation where the overall health is less than 35%.

Note 2: Damage reduction when injured refers to the damage reduction of all damage that can be obtained only when you are in the injured state.

Note 3: Under the current progress, only one of the special effects can be activated at the same time. If both activation conditions are met, you can choose one of them. "

Wen Yan was a little surprised. This was a standard advanced special effect.

One special effect, two effects, even if you can only have one at a time, the restrictions are quite harsh, but the value is high.

I just don't know how this ratio is calculated and what basis it is based on.

Wen Yan felt that the extra 1% of Lieyang's progress was quite normal. The fourth generation of Lieyang died shortly after awakening, so his own progress might be only 1%.

Being able to bless Wen Yan and give him an extra 1% progress, Wen Yan probably got it because of this bless, the lowest displayed is 1%...

Just by looking at this special effect, Wen Yan felt more and more regretful.

If he had not died young, Liu Bage might have become very powerful in the future. He was also a kind and good child. He had one special effect and two effects, all of which were for self-reliance and protection, without any offensiveness.

There is no need to wait until next year. Maybe we only need to wait a few more days. After a few days, Lao Zhu's army will take care of Lao Zhang.

The following periods are better than the previous hundred years and more suitable for kind-hearted people like Liu Bage.

Unfortunately, it's just a little bit short...

Wen Yan was filled with complicated feelings, while Liu Bage's face turned pale and his figure began to disappear, but he still had a smile on his face as he spoke to Wen Yan.

"Xiaozhou has passed away, and the rest of his life will be sent to the river."

"Brother Wen, goodbye."

Wen Yan stretched out his hand, and in return, a violent sun was added.

Since Liu Bage can give him blessings, then it is natural that he can also give Liu Bage blessings.

A violent sun appeared, and Liu Bage was surprised and relieved. He waved his hand, as if he turned into a ray of rising sun and merged into the heaven and earth. In a flash, this ray of rising sun pulled the sun under the sea level, jumped out from the horizon, and illuminated the earth.

Wen Yan did not move. In this old dream, everything was the same. There was fog everywhere. It made no difference where he went.

In the distance, Ye Er, who had been dragged away, looked at Wen Yan in a trance. He saw the two Lieyangs meeting and heard the young man's free and easy tone.

He envied the feeling that both parties could easily establish trust just after meeting each other.

He doesn't have this feeling. It has nothing to do with others, it's just that he can't do it.

The longer you live, the more you either become open-minded or become more and more stale.

He is the kind of person who becomes more obsolete and more stubborn as time goes by.

Facing someone like Wen Yan, who said the first sentence as soon as he said he wanted to kill him and even dared to turn his back on him when he said he didn't want to kill him, he felt helpless.

There's an extreme feeling of discomfort, like mold rotting in the dark, being exposed to the scorching sun.

This feeling of discomfort had been there from the beginning, but he could only see it clearly now.

Even though he had clearly blocked Wen Yan's way forward, he would still attack without hesitation when there was any possibility or opportunity. That was because he was afraid.

He is afraid.

This fear has finally turned into despair.

He spent more time and energy studying Wen Yan than anyone else.

With information gathered from various channels and directions in his hands, he dared to say that he understood Wen Yan better than ninety-nine percent of the members of the Lieyang Tribe, and understood what Wen Yan had done and experienced.

Many members of the Lieyang Tribe were unaware of many of the things that Wen Yan was involved in.

Not to mention the incident, the fact that Wen Yan is a contemporary Lieyang is actually not known by many people.

Even if those who should know it may know it, the total number is not that large.

Those who know about this, no matter what their attitude is, will tacitly not spread the news.

Ye Er put himself in the shoes of Wen Yan several times. Based on the information he knew, he was sure of it even if many details were missing.

Almost every time! Every time!
The key to solving the incident has nothing to do with Lieyang.

Instead, it has something to do with Wen Yan.

A few days ago, after the incident in Nanyang, he kept a close eye on the news from there. He heard that millions of souls had been released, but their purpose was obvious, and he thought Wen Yan should have been involved as well.

He knew that this must be related to Wen Yan and definitely had nothing to do with Lie Yang.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve this level relying solely on professional ability.

Others definitely underestimated Wen Yan. The top brass of the Lieyang Tribe kept all information about Wen Yan under wraps and did not reveal any important intelligence details.

He has the resounding title of "Contemporary Lieyang" which is known to everyone who should know, and is put at the forefront. But in fact, everyone knows that Wen Yan is impossible to practice Taoism.

Ye Er followed Wen Yan in person this time, and after witnessing the scene just now, he felt despair. He realized how desperate a single force or a single individual was when facing the Thirteenth Ancestor of Buyeo more than a thousand years ago.

The Thirteenth Patriarch of Buyeo may not be the first person to possess the Fiery Sun, but he is recorded as the first.

Since then, the two words "Lieyang" have become extremely sensitive.

It’s not that this ability is so strong. To be honest, it’s just average and can even be classified as an auxiliary professional ability.

But after a ruthless character appeared and tried to perform some earth-shattering operations, no one regarded Lieyang as an ordinary, auxiliary professional ability anymore.

At that time, to put it bluntly, it took the combined efforts of good and evil to suppress the Thirteenth Ancestor of Buyeo, who was the enemy of the whole world.

Now, who will suppress Wen Yan?

nobody.

It's impossible in Fuyu Mountain. The old Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion is standing behind him openly. The head of Wudang will go down the mountain personally to cooperate with Wen Yan to complete the task.

Zhongnan Mountain wanted to, but the door lintel of Zhongnan Taiyi Temple had been burned and the bloodstains had not been wiped clean yet.

The imperial court in the past and the Lieyang Department, the official organization of Shenzhou today, do not hide anything and just protect it. If there is any sensitive information, it will be reported directly to the director general, bypassing everyone in between to ensure that there will be no information leakage.

Wen Yan would never face the situation that the Thirteenth Patriarch of Buyeo had to face when he challenged authority, challenged established rules, and subverted the rules.

Just relying on these stinky ghosts who dare not show up, they think they can deal with Wen Yan by playing tricks and schemes?

It would be better to be bolder and burn your boats. Look for an opportunity directly. When Wen Yan leaves the territory of Shenzhou, be prepared to die together. Use missiles, artillery and other things to bombard the ground for ten minutes and shock Wen Yan to death.

This feasibility may actually be higher.

At this moment, seeing the entire old dream dissipating, Ye Er looked at Wen Yan's back in the distance, and he had an idea in his mind that this was the closest time in his life. Even if he could continue to live, he would only see this back getting farther and farther away from him.

Ye Er saw things clearly and had a clear understanding, but he became even more desperate.

When the whole old dream almost turned into mist and everything was unclear, he took out a sharp spike from his sleeve, pointed it at his chin, and pushed the spike without hesitation, piercing the entire spike into his head.

He saw Wen Yan suddenly turn his head, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Then the next moment, something was stuffed in his mouth. Wen Yan's palm stroked along his throat, and the thing went into his stomach.

The consciousness that was about to dissipate was forcibly held back.

Wen Yan looked at Ye Er and sighed.

"Why bother? Are you willing to die together with me just to deal with me?"

“It’s true that I may not be able to trap you here, and I can’t convince you either. Instead, I am shaken by you.

Whether you succeed or not, you have to give it a try.

At the very least, even if I can't kill you, I don't want to be used as a key by you and be exploited by you. I can still become stronger under such circumstances.

Even though the road is blocked, you can still find a way to become stronger in another direction.

I can't stop you, I can only not help you.

I really hope that you can leave here alive.

If you come back alive, it will at least prove that I am right and they are wrong. They underestimated you."

Wen Yan shook his head. This lunatic was really stubborn and there was no hope for him.

"Then have you ever thought about this? Every generation of Lieyang is different. Why must I follow the same path as the Thirteenth Ancestor?
Why is it that the Thirteenth Ancestor’s former opponents are now on good terms with me?
Have you ever thought that there might be something wrong with your thinking, that you have pre-set a position that you are either a friend or an enemy? Is it possible that, in addition to friends and enemies, there are many other types of relationships between the two?
You said that the scorching sun was the source of the chaos, and you saw it too.

The young man just now, the fourth generation Lieyang, died at a young age.

Did he do something wrong?

You are not young anymore, don't you know that in times of strife and chaos in the world, it is never possible that these are caused by one person alone?

You insist on using your mysterious rhetoric, but there is no actual evidence.

Have you ever thought that it wasn't the scorching sun that was the source of the chaos, but that the scorching sun existed only in the chaotic times?

Even more precisely, how do we define troubled times? "

Ye Er's expression didn't change. It was obvious that such words would never convince him, so Wen Yan hadn't bothered to say them before.

But before he could say anything else, he heard Wen Yan say.

"In fact, if you had contacted me directly when you knew me, we could have found a teahouse, sat down and had some tea, and maybe we could have talked it out. Why would we go through so much trouble?

I have been through a lot of things, and I am actually the one with the best temper and the most reasonable one.

I have always believed that we should look at problems in light of current actual conditions and not blindly apply past experience.

If you come to see me, maybe we can meet by chance while having morning tea, and we can share a table and chat together.

I thought of me as a stubborn rich old man, and you thought of me as a foolish young man who still had some ideals.

As we chat, we may become friends with different ideas. As for Gu Meng's matter, there should be areas for cooperation.

How did it develop into what it is now? "

Wen Yan chatted for a while, but Ye Er suddenly broke down.

He couldn't understand and couldn't adapt. He felt that people like him, with their own problems, would never be able to do any serious work. He didn't dare to trust anyone he had only met in the last forty or fifty years.

At this moment, hearing Wen Yan talk about things he had never thought of before, he felt himself wavered. He actually felt that this was not completely impossible.

Because the last time Wen Yan came to the Northeast, he not only did not kill them all, but instead left some means to protect the white fox clan, preventing others from taking advantage of the situation.

If it were him, he would definitely not do such a thing, and would not even think about it. He would only think about how to leave the least traces, handle the matter cleanly, kill them all, and leave no future troubles.

"I really wasn't wrong about you... I actually felt that you were right for a little while."

This is more difficult to accept than killing him.

Ye Er held the sharp thorn and twisted it violently, and blood began to seep out from under his chin.

The offerings that Wen Yan fed him, in the face of this kind of injury, the blood-locking time that could have been sustained was greatly reduced. Now that Ye Er continued to torment it, the duration began to plummet.

"Don't waste your time, this thing was originally meant for me. I've already said that from the moment I stayed here, I had no intention of living.

Don’t die on the way..."

Ye Er stared with his eyes wide open, lifeless, but his face still showed stubbornness. He was unwilling to admit until his death that there was something wrong with his ideas.

When he found out that Wen Yan treated him as a key and could actually become stronger in his old dream, his mentality was a little broken.

After Wen Yan's words, he realized that it was actually possible to use non-violent methods to test and solve some problems, and his mentality completely collapsed.

What made him even more unacceptable was that he felt that since Wen Yan said so, he must be trustworthy and could give it a try.

Wen Yan felt helpless as she watched Ye Er breathe his last.

"Why bother? I just want to try to see if I can come to this old dream. That's all.

How would I know what would happen when I came here?

Do you think anyone has such deep thoughts? "

He wanted to dig out more information from Ye Er. This guy knew a lot and attached great importance to him inexplicably.

Wen Yan felt like he was an extreme stalker fan. The other person could remember even the smallest details that he couldn't even remember.

This feeling is very creepy, so Wen Yan wants to hold this guy back and absolutely cannot let him run away again.

God knows what this guy was thinking. He said he would commit suicide and he did it immediately. From the weapons to the methods, they were all means of killing instantly. It would not be possible to lock the blood for too long.

Wen Yan held Ye Er's body and watched as his skin began to turn blue as soon as he died. The blood vessels under the skin turned purple-black. When Wen Yan touched Ye Er's body, his hand began to feel a little numb.

The next moment, gray cloth flew out and wrapped around Ye Er's body.

Wen Yan stretched out his right hand and looked at it. There was a bit of purple and black in his palm, and there was also a numb feeling.

He stretched out his left middle finger, cut the skin on his right forearm, poisoned himself, then cut the skin on the palm of his right hand and continued to poison himself.

The corpse poison and this poison began a fierce confrontation. The corpse poison continued to force from both inside and outside. Drops of black blood dripped out from the small wound in Wen Yan's palm, and the purple-black color that appeared on the palm also dissipated.

After the black blood dripped, it fell less than a meter before it began to boil like boiling water and completely evaporated.

After forcing the competitor back, the corpse poison was absorbed by the black nail on Wen Yan's left middle finger before it could continue to spread.

Wen Yan looked at Ye Er who was bound by the gray cloth and thought, this guy is really cruel to himself.

No wonder the offering couldn't lock the blood for too long. This guy not only crushed his own brain, but also poisoned himself. The poison was so fierce that it was probably not an ordinary thing.

Don’t they even want the body to be taken away?

I'm so afraid of being mistaken for a key.

Wen Yan was speechless. No matter what, he wouldn't carry an old man's corpse around in Gu Meng, right?

He hasn't become so perverted yet.

This old guy really judges others by his own mean character.

Wen Yan just felt that since the person was dead and his mentality had collapsed before he died, he dared to directly admit that he was right. So he should at least take the body back. It would not be good to just leave it here.

Of course, after returning, I will try to summon the soul, that is a matter for later.

At this moment, looking around, there was already fog all around.

Unlike the previous collapse of the old dream, this time the old dream just dissipated bit by bit.

At this moment, falling into the fog, the first direction he felt was the direction of the mountains in his mind, which was particularly clear.

According to previous experience, he is now stuck in the area between old dreams.

Let’s find the direction first and go back later.

……

In the underground building, the man with the flowery hair looked at the empty evil altar and the bloodstains remaining on the sharp spikes, and shook his head and sighed.

“For the sake of our friendship over the years, I gave you the opportunity to leave, but you refused to leave. You are truly completely out of control.

You should also be aware that if you lose control, it may bring unexpected results.

But it is also possible that everyone will be buried together.

Why bother? We are not pursuing lofty ideals. We just want to seek our own position and interests in this era.

When you were young, weren't you smarter than anyone else?
How come you are old and have said it three times, but you still get yourself into trouble?"

After muttering a few words, Hua Tou went all the way to a room at the back and removed the red cloth covering a tablet.

A row of words appeared on the tablet by itself.

"The spirit seat of Old Linzi Ye Er."

The girl with flowery hair came to the house where it was raining again.

"My brother Ye Er is dead."

"you sure?"

"I know him too well. If he goes there this time, he himself will not allow himself to come back alive.

Don't worry, even though he's a little out of control, he definitely won't mention anyone else.

He was just lost, not betrayed."

No one in the room said anything else. He stood in front of the table. On the table was a map that looked like it was only half drawn, or like a broken puzzle that had been pieced together in bits and pieces.

He stood in front of the map, opened his mouth and inhaled, a little light flew out and fell into his mouth. After a long time, he opened his mouth and exhaled again, and a little light flew out and fell on one of the fragments.

At the same time, the surrounding areas of Nanwu County, including the clouds and water vapor on the sea, began to slowly gather towards Nanwu County.
