Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 342 The Sun Will Rise Eventually (End of this Volume)

The first time Chen Fan heard the old man calling himself the Master of Heavenly Arts was at the door of a shabby tavern.

At that time, he was facing a desperate situation in life. He sneered at the old man who tried to take him in as an apprentice, thinking that someone was deliberately cheating people at the door of the tavern because drunk people would believe anything.

"Old man, please leave. Your name is too scary. I'm afraid it will scare the drunkard away."

Even though he knew the person in front of him was most likely a liar, he still gave him a kind reminder.

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he realized that Chen Fan regarded him as a charlatan. Then he did not explain, but said earnestly:

"Young man, being kind to bad guys will only become a sharp blade stabbing yourself..."

It was this simple yet thought-provoking sigh that made Chen Fan feel that the skinny old man in front of him instantly became like an immortal.

It was not until he actually became the old man's apprentice and began to learn skills that he realized how shallow and ignorant he was at that time.

Perhaps even the old man himself had forgotten his real name, and no one had ever mentioned it, but the title of Venerable Tianshu was not an exaggeration at all; on the contrary, the word "Tianshu" could not summarize the old man's attainments in the art of magic, it was as if he was born for magic.

There is no one who can be equal to him in the art of magic. Even the contributions to the art of magic by all the people in the world combined cannot be compared with his. His title is as brilliant as those magnificent names in the history books of magic.

Almost all the classics on the market related to the general theory of magic and common sense have the shadow of the participation of Tianshu Zun, and the several basic theories he proposed have become golden words in the hearts of all the practitioners of magic in the world.

One reason why Chen Fan gradually became "rebellious" in the practice of magic was that he gradually became tired of the routine process of practicing magic and wanted to find a breakthrough. Another equally important reason was that he understood that it was impossible to surpass his master on this path that had been passed down for five thousand years.

That was why he had been secretly trying things that went against his ancestors' teachings without telling the chief elder. He didn't want his master to find out that he was doing something forbidden, and he certainly didn't want his master to know that he had an ambition to surpass him.

But he is also the most obedient and trusted disciple of the chief elder, because he knows better than anyone that this is the best teacher in the world, so he does not want his master to drive him away, and he is sincerely willing to serve his master all his life.

But he realized from the conversation a few days ago that his master knew everything. But he was not angry about his apprentice's ambitions, on the contrary, he was more expectant and affirmative.

Chen Fan was deeply moved by this, and secretly determined to succeed in order to live up to his master's expectations.

But it was not until today that he realized that his master's expectations were doomed to fail, because trying to find another way to surpass this old man was simply impossible.

The Tianshu Peak became the number one peak of magic in the Five Continents not because of him, Chen Fan, or the other twenty or so disciples with extraordinary talents, but because their peak master, Tianshu Zun, was a name that could not be avoided on the way to the end of magic.

The old man stayed in the sky, he opened his arms, and used his own body to block the outflowing evil tide.

The evil spirits could not touch the God Stone, but they attached to the manta rays would fly over the defense line set up by humans with great effort. Those who thought they could rest easy after hiding behind the God Stone were terrified when they saw this scene, because it turned out that nothing could stop them.

But they all seemed to have forgotten that before the existence of the Divine Brilliance Stone, it was the selfless and righteous monks who kept the evil spirits out of the sea, until Venerable Tianshu stood in front of everyone.

The steaming sand, scorching rocks, and burning enemy clouds; the boiling waves and scorching hot waves scorch the Han moon.

The entire coastal area of ​​the South China Sea has become a chessboard for the old man and the Lord of Flesh and Blood to fight over. The evil tides are rushing up with the cold water from the deep sea, bringing out countless dead fish with snow-white bellies. However, the heavy rain falling from the sky is as hot as dripping magma, as if it wants to burn away the worst filth in the world.

The huge heart beat like thunder, and the roar of the evil waves went straight to the soul.

Venerable Tianshu still did not retreat a single step. He waved his hands and made hand gestures so fast that afterimages were left. Suddenly, a huge starry sky magic circle appeared under his feet, and he was the North Celestial Pole surrounded by stars!

The obscure incantations were like the Sanskrit sounds sent down from heaven. The stars rotated a scale, and the entire space was cut and twisted by the magic of the Venerable Tianshu.

The evil spirits on the manta rays twisted and became more hideous, as if they were being cut by invisible blades. They screamed and cried like thousands of ghosts, and rotten black blood fell like raindrops.

The Lord of Flesh and Blood encouraged them more rapidly, as if an endless supply of power was flowing into those blood vessels, turning those shattered evil spirits into even more frantic ghosts, causing them to charge forward fearlessly.

They even jumped up from the manta rays high above, trying to escape the cutting of Master Tianshu by jumping directly. Even they, who were known for their physical strength, did not dare to confront Master Tianshu head-on.

But how could Master Tianshu give them the opportunity? He stretched out his hands, gently rotated one hand to the top of his head, and the other hand to below his navel, and his fingertips drew a perfect circle in the air.

The old man closed his eyes slightly, and his sleeves and hair stopped fluttering, and instead floated lightly in the air. Because in the huge spherical space centered on him, there was no wind or rain, and even the air could no longer penetrate.

The surging sea water beneath his feet was cut into arc-shaped cracks, but Master Tianshu was like an eternal reef, standing still despite the strong waves and winds!
"As long as I, Qu Zhou, am alive, the evil gods will not approach the Five Continents!"

The old man on the sea roared loudly, his dry white Taoist robe was not stained by dust, but inexplicably it slowly turned into ink-black, as if a deep black light was emerging from under his clothes.

Chen Fan looked at his master's increasingly blurred figure as the space collapsed, and tears fell unconsciously.

"My heart is like the bright moon without any cloud, illuminating all the darkness in the Buddhist world."

He recalled the stone tablet with words engraved on it at the entrance of his master's dilapidated cave. Only now did he realize that it was the farewell poem his master left behind.

……

You Su sat down in the pile of rocks, breathing heavily. In the firelight, every breath he exhaled seemed to be black smoke.

Thousands of evil spirits crawled at his feet, and this pile of broken rocks was like his throne.

He raised his head slowly, his dark eyes vaguely visible through his messy hair, with a hint of scarlet in addition to the faint green fluorescence.

And in front of him, the entanglement between the two giant snakes reached the final decisive battle.

The ancient Qi Snake does not feel at a disadvantage even though it is bound by the prison. After all, it is a snake god from ancient times that has survived to this day. The ambition that it has endured for thousands of years has become the source of its infinite power.

The huge snake mouth opened, as if to swallow the white snake into its stomach.

Even though Ji Xueruo had awakened the dragon blood, she was still too far away from this ancient creature. She twisted and struggled, roaring angrily, but her slender snake body was still suppressed inch by inch by the Qi snake, and gradually lost her strength.

You Su stood up heavily, crushing the huge rock under his feet with ease. After killing so many flesh-and-blood evil spirits, the flesh-and-blood power he took back almost made his body explode.

He could feel that one of the three biggest sinners was not far away from him, but before going to meet him, he had more important things to do.

The Mosong Sword flew in from nowhere and fell steadily into his hands.

The white snake twisted violently, but she still could not escape the fate of being swallowed by the black snake.

The part of her snake body left outside became shorter and shorter, and You Su's pace became faster and faster.

The turbulent wind and thunder seemed to roll under You Su's feet, and the overwhelming momentum condensed on the tip of the Mosong Sword. The ancient snake god, who was feasting on the food, finally cast his sights. Finally, there was a second existence in this fairy island that could attract its attention.

You Su met the pair of black agate-like snake eyes and he suddenly became distracted for a moment.

In the fleeting moment of time, You Su seemed to hear a voice coming from the depths of his soul.

The man's voice seemed to be right beside my ear, yet it also seemed to come from far away. "You have your own path to follow, and so does she."

You Su always remembered a person's voice and scent very clearly. He was very sure that he had heard this voice, but he couldn't remember who that person was for a moment.

It was not until he saw the tall man standing next to him that he remembered that it was the mysterious disfigured man.

And just at the moment when he was stunned, the Qi snake was about to close its bloody mouth, leaving only a thin white snake tail hanging by its lips.

Of course You Su would not remain indifferent, but the disfigured man spoke up and pulled him back. Just like when You Su saw Huang Xi who was possessed not long ago, he felt a sense of frustration that he had all the strength but was useless.

"Young man, don't always think about saving people. Allowing people to save themselves is the true way to salvation."

The disfigured man taught earnestly, "You said you wanted to save them who were trapped in the center of the island, so you spread the blood of God to the evil puppets. But there are always endless dangers coming towards them, and there will always be times when you can't protect all of them. It was they themselves who really saved them. They didn't covet your protection but left in time, so they returned to the earth before the Venerable Tianshu cut off the sea."

He used examples to illustrate his point. Although his words were not very new, they really had the magic to make people think.

"You have done what you should do. All that's left is to trust her, right?" The disfigured man watched the snake's tail disappear completely, but there was no worry on his face.

"She shouldn't be the kind of woman who wants to live under your protection forever, right?"

The last sentence from the disfigured man completely deflated You Su. He looked at Qi Snake who was trying hard to break free from the iron chains, and the deep murderous intent in his eyes disappeared.

"It's very tiring to try to save everything by yourself." The disfigured man patted You Su's shoulder affectionately, as familiar as an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Are you the Immortal Zhengyang?" You Su vaguely guessed something.

“I have countless identities…” the disfigured man laughed.

You Su remained silent and just continued to look at the agile giant snake.

"He came for you." The disfigured man restrained his smile.

"Then He should come directly to me instead of rushing to the shore." You Su replied.

"This is a place that even God can't see." The disfigured man reminded.

You Su suddenly realized, so the Lord of Flesh and Blood thought that he had appeared on the south coast before, so he broke out of the sea from the unknown place?
But he was clearly right under His nose. Could it be that this disfigured man had the power to cover the sky?

"I thought I would be needed to stop this evil god overseas today, but I didn't expect there was another person in this world who could do it. He is the first person in the five thousand years of history of the Five Continents to break through this boundary with his physical body. It's amazing." The disfigured man said with admiration in his tone.

You Su stared blankly at the black sun in the lightning, with endless tentacles dancing around the black sun.

"The chief elder is really amazing."

“But this also led to the exposure of dirty things hidden deeper in the sea…” The disfigured man sighed, as if sighing about the fate he could not escape.

You Su felt that every word of this person was dancing on his nerves. It was hidden deeper than the Lord of Flesh and Blood. It could only be the other two evil gods!

"What can I do?" You Su felt confused.

The disfigured man turned around and smiled, "Just be yourself."

After saying this, he seemed to realize that such words were a bit too vague, and added:
"If you do not want Middle-earth to fall, fall into the depths of the sea, and they will follow your breath."

"Okay." You Su agreed readily, as if he was ready to die.

The disfigured man was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Have you forgotten the principle I just taught you? I let you fall to the bottom of the sea, not to make you a bait, but to send you away. They won't find you, and you will arrive in another place, maybe in the five continents, or maybe outside the five continents. You need to find your own way home, and before they find you, learn how to kill them."

You Su was silent, and then he clenched his fists gently:
"it is good."

The disfigured man patted You Su's shoulder with relief and said, "Don't mourn our death, just be yourself. This journey is bound to be hard. If you really don't want to save the world in the end, it's not your fault to watch it destroyed."

You Su was stunned for a moment, and the heavy burden he had felt before seemed to have dissipated because of this sentence. He couldn't help but ask again:

"who are you?"

The disfigured man had disappeared, and his gentle voice echoed in my mind:

"When you close the history book, you will naturally see my name. If you are ready, jump into the water. Don't be afraid, each of us was born from the water..."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Su seemed to have noticed something and he suddenly turned his eyes away.

The giant snake rolled around frantically, as if it was in unbearable pain. Its belly was more bulging than before, as if something was about to burst out of it.

Suddenly, it rolled over and fell to the ground. A beam of light mixed with various colors shot out from its belly facing the sky, and it opened a hole in its belly.

You Su remembered this move. This was the fatal blow that Ji Xueruo had prepared to launch when facing Ming Dao but was forced to interrupt! With the power of dragon blood, she used this blow to the extreme, as if she had been blessed by the gods!

The dense dark clouds were torn apart by this beam of light, revealing the originally bright stars and the moon.

Under the bright light, this fairy island is clearer than ever before.

For some reason, You Su felt that the giant snake's eyes before it died contained a hint of relief, as if it had gotten what it wanted.

But You Su didn't have time to think about these insignificant details. He leaped forward and a pair of wings made of black liquid condensed behind him. He held the girl, who had returned to human form, in his arms.

Ji Xueruo's black dress was thin, but her skin was as hot as a burning coal. The girl opened her eyes hazily, and when she saw the familiar face in front of her, the corners of her lips curled slightly, like a little black cat showing off to its companions.

"Look at how awesome I am, don't you?"

She seemed to be saying, and then her head tilted, and the exhausted girl fell into a coma. The chest of her beloved made her sleep particularly peacefully.

You Su burst out laughing.

Behind him, there were lightning and thunder, and the roar of evil spirits, but it seemed as if none of this had anything to do with him.

He gently placed the girl on the deserted shore, quietly wiped the blood off her face, then raised his head and fell into the endless dark sea.

In his last look before entering the water, he saw that the agile electric python in the sea of ​​clouds was finally tired, and a red line appeared on the horizon.

He knew the sun would rise soon and he would return.
