Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Time returns to the present.

"I want to challenge you to a duel."

Jiang Ming stretched out his right hand and pointed at the lady.

"Ah."

General Raiden nodded in acquiescence.

"......"

The lady immediately frowned and looked at Jiang Ming with a gloomy face.

"Tsk, you actually have this trick up your sleeve, using the rules of this country to linger on? The strength of the previous Whirlpool Demon God is only one tenth of what it was before. Even if you can defeat it, you can't leave the castle tower in the hands of General Raiden."

"Oh? What? You, the Fatui executive, don't even have the courage to do this? If the person standing here was the young master, he would have accepted it long ago, or..."

Jiang Ming looked at the lady with a sneer.

"Have you admitted that you are a useless piece of shit?"

"you......!"

"Humph, even if I die, you can't live!"

"It won't be a waste of the lady's trouble."

......

"Jiang Ming..."

"Hush, Ying, I'll take care of the lady's problems. The one you really have to face is General Raiden. Also, the rebels are already ambushing near the castle tower, but they are definitely no match for General Raiden. From now on, it's all up to you."

Jiang Ming spoke softly in a voice that only he and Ying could hear.

Ying nodded silently.

"Are we done with this boring reminiscence? Do you need me to give you a little more time?"

The lady looked at them with an unpleasant expression.

"Oh, no need. After all, it won't even take a minute to deal with you."

"A shameless brat!"

The lady released several ice cones to stab Jiang Ming. At the same time, the temperature inside the castle tower began to drop rapidly.

After dodging the ice cone, Jiang Ming instantly came behind the lady. The lady, who had anticipated this, immediately condensed an ice shield behind her.

boom!

The ice shield shattered and the lady was blown away by the powerful impact. If she hadn't been more careful, she would have fallen down by now.

"whispering sound."

"Are your attack methods so monotonous? No wonder you are so useless."

Jiang Ming continued with his sharp tongue, and the slight temperature was nothing to him.

"asshole!"

The lady cursed angrily, and countless sharp ice spikes attacked Jiang Ming.

"Fifth Generation Thunder Seal·Yin Yang Double Thunder·Yin Yang Epoch Scripture!"

As Jiang Ming finished his words, the black and white lightning blocked all the ice spikes. If Jiang Ming had not intentionally controlled it, the entire castle tower would have been blown up.

Not intending to waste any more time, Jiang Ming stepped forward, grabbed the lady's neck and lifted her up.

"cough......"

The lady struggled with a look of pain.

"Rosalin Kruschika Lowfat, is this all you have? You can't even dance."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming threw it aside, and the Eight Desolations Sword appeared in his hand.

"Sword Swift."

Jiang Ming swung his sword and an ice swallow flew towards the lady.

I thought it was over, but suddenly, a huge fire tornado appeared around the lady and melted the attacking ice swallow in the blink of an eye, and the lady entered the next form.

"Don't even think about leaving the ashes behind!"

The angry lady swung the whip in her hand towards Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming did not dodge and took the whip with his hand. The next second, the whip that was originally full of flames instantly turned into a long strip of ice.

"It's commendable that you can still resist, but that's all."

Unwilling to accept defeat, the lady immediately summoned several fire tornadoes to attack Jiang Ming.

"How can I write enough words with such a monotonous attack method!!!"

Jiang Ming suddenly said something that no one understood, then he condensed an ice spear in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Master the Five Thunders and Thunderbolts!"

Destructive light blue lightning attached to the tip of the gun, and under Jiang Ming's control, it instantly defeated all the fire tornadoes. Then Jiang Ming flew forward and knocked the lady out with one punch, leaving her unable to resist.

"Ah, why... why!"

The lady gritted her teeth as if she was enduring pain. She was so arrogant that she refused to admit her defeat. According to the rules of the duel in front of the emperor, the loser would be executed by the general. Her demise was already certain, but the lady was unwilling to accept it. However, the general did not care about her threats and intimidation, and brought down divine punishment on the lady with an unexpected sword.

As for Jiang Ming, the winner, General Lei Dian promised them to leave the castle tower standing.

.................................................. ..

"Jiang...Jiang Ming."

Paimeng was a little afraid to get close to Jiang Ming.

"Just now, General Lei Dian's thoughtless sword attack, can you...can you block it?"

Paimon was obviously frightened by the terrifying blow.

"If we go all out, of course we can, but don't forget our plan. We have to defeat Lei Dianying in the Pure Land of One Heart, not that puppet. It's still hard to say whether I can enter the Pure Land of One Heart."

Jiang Ming seriously told them a cruel fact.

"Ying, I still have to rely on you from now on."

Ying did not respond to Jiang Ming. She felt a little dizzy. When they walked out of the castle tower, coincidentally, the resistance army had defeated the leaderless shogunate army and came to the bottom of the castle tower. Just as Ying was about to step forward, the legendary Wuxiang's knife chopped towards Ying and Jiang Ming. Seeing that the divine punishment was about to fall, Jiang Ming, who had anticipated it, naturally would not panic. It would be better to say that he could easily block that knife.

But just when Jiang Ming was about to make a move, lightning flashed again from the empty shell of the Eye of God that Wan Ye carried with him. Wan Ye swung his sword to meet the blow and miraculously took it. Then, inspired by Wan Ye's move, the rebels' suppressed emotions were ignited and they launched a final charge against General Thunder.

The eyes of God on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue also lit up as their former master charged forward, but as Jiang Ming said, they were no match for General Thunder, and this moment might be a good opportunity to implement the Eightfold Son of God plan, so Ying turned around and slashed at the general with her sword. Just as she expected, the One Heart Pure Land unfolded in front of Ying, and what was even more fortunate was that Jiang Ming also seized the opportunity and entered the One Heart Pure Land as well.

...................................................

"I didn't expect that you could appear in front of me."

Ying was a little surprised but still looked at Jiang Ming expressionlessly.

"Don't be so surprised. Since the Pure Land of One Mind is your inner world, that means... I am also qualified to enter your heart?"

Jiang Ming looked at Ying with an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

"?"

Ying, who was somewhat confused, had no choice but to look at Ying.

"Let me think about it. What on earth could have brought you to my presence once again? Was your foolish bravery to protect those people, or was it... your real intention to meet me?"

"The Eye Hunt Order should not have been enacted."

"Oh? You woke me up from my eternal meditation just to tell me this? Then you may have underestimated me. Of course I know about the Eye Hunting Order, and I tacitly approved its issuance."

Image said with some indifference.

"But the Eye Hunting Order caused the Inazuma people to lose a lot..."

"Desires are not conducive to eternity. You may not realize that chasing wishes... often makes people lose more. Just like, no one will die because of the confiscation of the Eye of God. Instead, those who lose their lives are those who insist on chasing wishes, right?"

At this time, Jiang Ming suddenly asked a question.

"Ying, are you chasing eternity because you're afraid of losing it?"

"..."

Ying looked at him speechlessly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk. I'm not good at arguing. This Pure Land is the space made up of your consciousness, right?"

"Yes, you actually know all this... Well, you are looking for a chance to... shake my will, right?"

"of course."

Jiang Ming and Ying began to prepare for the battle.

"We are not going to argue with you, we will just refute you!"

"..."

"Well, those who defy eternity, let me see...your awareness."

A purple wish ring appeared behind him, and Nagigusa no Inamikazu held it in his hand and attacked the two.

Jiang Ming quickly took Ying to distance themselves. At the same time, three purple sword lights slashed towards the two of them. Jiang Ming immediately took out the Seven Thunders of Purification.

"Call Tingni!"

Jiang Ming held the knife in his right hand and slashed forward with an X-shaped knife light, successfully resolving the attack, but Ke Ying came in front of Jiang Ming in an instant and swung the naginata at him mercilessly.

"Guard the Sword, Strong Bamboo!"

Jiang Ming continued to resist Ying's attacks.

"Ten thousand thunders are buried!"

Suddenly, Ying inserted the naginata into the ground, and nearly a hundred lightning bolts bombarded Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming was not to be outdone, and five lightning seals appeared behind him.

"The first generation of thunder seal, the strongest thunder, the thunder emperor Vajra Dharma!"

The lightning seal at the top released light blue lightning, blocking all the purple lightning.

Ying frowned slightly as he watched the lightning released by Jiang Ming.

"You don't have the Eye of God, but you can also mobilize the elemental force. No... No, your lightning seems to be very different from the elemental force, at least different from mine. Who are you?"

"Instead of thinking about things I can't possibly tell you, think about how to defeat me."

Jiang Ming smiled slightly, then looked at Ying and reminded her.

"You are no match for Ying now. Think carefully about what you want to do now. As long as you have the determination of a rebel, a turning point may appear."

After saying that, Jiang Ming continued to fight with Ying.

"I'm sorry, Ying, I have to buy her some more time."

Jiang Ming swung his sword and Ying blocked it with his naginata.

"It's no use for you to do this."

"That's hard to say..."

Jiang Ming used the recoil force of the shadow attack to distance himself from her, and then muttered something to himself.

"The Third Generation of Thunder Seals, the Three Sealing Techniques of the Thunder Emperor, the First One is the Sealing of Gods!"

The raging blue lightning wrapped around Jiang Ming, and in a short period of time, Jiang Ming's strength instantly skyrocketed tenfold. Although the duration was shorter than that of the Formless Sacred Technique, it also had its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that there were no side effects, and the disadvantage was that it could not be used in conjunction with the Formless Sacred Technique, otherwise the hundredfold increase... it was exciting just to think about it.

"..."

Ying frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Ming whose momentum suddenly increased. She didn't know what happened, but she could feel that if it was just a matter of strength, she was probably far inferior to him.

In the following fight, Ying found that he could not gain any advantage over Jiang Ming no matter what, and the opponent still looked at ease.

"..."

She silently changed the weapon in her hand to Meng Xiang Yi Xin, and Jiang Ming also noticed the katana in her hand.

"That weapon is called Dream One Heart, right?"

Jiang Ming looked into Ying's eyes and said this. Ying trembled after hearing Jiang Ming's words and looked at him in disbelief. She didn't understand why Jiang Ming knew about this knife.

"Is this what Raiden really left for you?"

"Why...why would you?"
