I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Every time Xi'er was about to break through Fu Hua's defense, she would be severely taught a lesson by Fu Hua's backhand, although Fu Hua always said that she didn't have many backhands. But how could Xi'er, who was beaten black and blue, believe her lies? It was like Ye Wen saying that he only knew a little bit, which was totally unbelievable.

But now, Fu Hua said to hand this person over to her, which means Xier can completely release herself. And after the sparring just now, Xier can clearly know that the guy in front of her is a grindstone.

So the two people, each with different thoughts in their minds, attacked each other again.

There was no trickery, no other factors, just a simple fight with martial arts, yet it was not just a simple fight.

Every time the two of them fought, it was a psychological game. The attack and the retreat were all scams. Neither of them expected to defeat the other by conventional means, and they both chose a fatal attack.

Every attack was a fraud. Often, the two would change their moves at the moment of fighting, then step back and attack again. They were looking for a flaw that would kill with one strike, but when that flaw didn't appear, all the fights were just preparations.

This duel is not a competition. There is no point to determine the winner. The only thing that can determine the winner is life and death. It is a battle of both superiority and inferiority. This is a true martial arts fight, not a martial arts.

Soon the fight between the two became intense. All the previous unsuccessful attacks were tests. After many tests, the two had figured out each other's tactics, which made the subsequent fights even more dangerous.

Every subconscious action of yours may take you away, so you must do your best to fight the enemy. This is why fighting is the best way to improve. The person who knows you best is not the one you are familiar with, but your enemy, because only your enemy will try hard to find your shortcomings and then completely destroy you. Only in this way can the potential shortcomings be exposed, because these points are the means to put you into a desperate situation.

Moreover, fighting is not simply about winning or losing. While you are being analyzed by the enemy, you are also absorbing the advantages of the enemy. Those who cannot adapt and improve themselves would have died first. Only those who absorb all advantages can ascend to the throne of victory.

Fighting means devouring. Use all means to bite the enemy and turn their flesh and blood into your nutrition.

The fight between the two was not very long. No one had ever said that the fight would last for 300 rounds. They used sinister tactics one after another. If other martial artists saw the fight between the two, they would probably be angry and say that it was not a fight at all.

"Whoosh!"

Finally, when Xier's attack was blocked by the old man again, the old man showed an extremely vicious smile in his heart. He saw it, he saw the fatal weakness that could destroy Xier.

"it's over!"

The old man knocked away Xier's fist with one hand. If he was not mistaken, Xier's next attack would definitely be a whip kick.

Sure enough, the next moment when Xier's hand was blocked, Xier turned around and kicked the old man.

(Hahaha!!! Little girl! You are still one step behind me after all!)

The old man had long discovered that Xier's attack rhythm was very fast, one blow after another, like a continuous river, penetrating every hole.

But even the river will change its course one day. After discovering Xier's characteristics, the old man began to guide Xier into his rhythm step by step. However, this process cannot be rushed. As long as he reveals a flaw, Xier will find himself in a trap.

But now, the river course has changed, no matter how long you walk, you have to follow the river course!

The old man's eyes flashed, and he raised his left knee and kicked Xier's leg with a spring kick, deflecting her attack. At this point, Xier had temporarily lost control of her hands and feet, and the old man had gained the upper hand.

(The time is now!)

The old man saw Xier's gap and made a quick thrust straight to Xier's heart. He was confident that his hand could definitely break Xier's defense and kill her!

"puff!"

A muffled sound was heard, and the excitement in the old man's eyes reached its peak! He succeeded, and his hand had reached Xier's chest!

but……

Why……

But I was hit first?

The old man looked at the hand in front of him in disbelief.

When exactly did she break through my defenses?

"It's over... You are really a very good toy. Xier is very satisfied."

Xier looked at him with a devilish smile, and whispered the names of her moves.

'Inch Strength·Landslide'

The hand on the old man's chest suddenly exerted force, and the old man flew out like a kite with a broken string, and was heavily embedded in the mountain wall.

'boom! '

It was not until Xier withdrew her hand that the sound slowly came.

The battle is over.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The battle was over. It was not like the magnificent duel that was widely circulated in the martial arts world. There were no spectacular moves that could be watched by others, because the two men only used the most common moves and had not even used their true energy.

But it is precisely because of this that this battle is dangerous, and the game is the core of the two.

Xier let out a long sigh, a trace of fatigue appearing on her face.

It’s not that she was physically tired. This exercise was not even as good as Fu Hua’s warm-up exercise. What really made Xier feel tired was her mental exhaustion.

In terms of strength alone, if Xier used her energy, she could sweep the entire martial arts world with one hand, but she did not rely on any abilities other than martial arts in this battle. This was a test from Fu Hua for her, and also a battle to test the role of Kenshin.

The high-intensity game made Xier's strong spirit feel a little tired, but it was also because of this that Xier was able to lure the old man into her trap.

Yes, everything Xier showed in the battle just now was an illusion. All the habits, shortcomings, and advantages were performed by Xier. Of course, there were some truths in them, but they were all well covered up by Xier.

Xier had already planned everything out long before she decided to suppress the old man with martial arts alone.

But when they really fought the old man, something unexpected happened...

During the fight with the old man, Xier felt a sense of pleasure that she shouldn't have felt. The desire that made her want to destroy everything almost caused all her plans to fail.

Fortunately, with the help of the Sword Heart Technique, Xier suppressed that impulse.

Of course Xier knew the source of this impulse, because it was one of her nature. As the inheritor of Hei Xi and Bai Xi, Xier naturally had the characteristics of both. Bai Xi's kindness made Xier a caring little cotton-padded jacket in daily life, while Hei Xi's madness allowed Xier to gain an advantage in battle.

The influence of Hei Xi's fighting style on Xier far exceeds her imagination. This characteristic has helped her overcome one difficulty after another, but now, Xier finds that it is this characteristic that prevents her from maintaining the state of Sword Heart Jue very well. Once she enters the combat state, an inexplicable excitement always bursts out in her mind, as if all the enemies are toys in a toy box.

Moreover, as the battle progresses, Xier will gradually transform into a war maniac, and she will be more powerful than Gonny.

Tactics? Techniques? I forgot everything.

Why defend? As long as I chop faster than the enemy, he can't hit me!

Why dodge? As long as I hit the enemy first, I don't need to dodge!

Xier even felt that every cell in her body was shouting, "Everyone, get ready to charge with bayonets!"

This feeling was not very obvious before, but since the last world, Xier felt that the proportion of black Xi in her body was increasing...

This is also the reason why she became Fu Hua's apprentice. She hopes that Fu Hua can help her find her balance again.

She is the product of the power balance between Hei Xi and Bai Xi. If the power of either side is too strong, it will have a bad impact. This impact involves Xier's essence, which even Hei Xi and Bai Xi themselves cannot control.

After the battle just now, Xier was sure that the Sword Heart Technique could help her regain her balance, but now because of her low realm, the effect was not very obvious, but she was able to initially suppress her fighting madness. This was a great improvement.

After another long sigh, the redness in Xier's eyes completely faded away. She turned her head to look at the old man embedded in the mountain, and pulled him out with both hands, leaving only a human-shaped hole on the mountain wall.

She swung her hands vigorously, lifted him onto her shoulders, and walked back along the big hole she had made earlier.

Fu Hua had watched the fight just now. Seeing that Xier was able to suppress the old man perfectly, Fu Hua couldn't help but praise Xier's performance. Of course, Xier's performance was not perfect, but it had achieved the effect that Fu Hua wanted.

Fu Hua had already noticed Xier's flaws during daily training. She noticed that Xier always had an uncontrollable desire to fight during battles.

Having a desire to fight is certainly a good thing, but too much is as bad as too little. The reason why Fu Hua let Xier gradually cultivate her sword heart and did not take Xier out before her sword heart was formed was also because of this. She hoped that the quiet environment of Taixu Mountain could help Xier calm down. It was not until a few days ago when Xier's sword heart was initially formed that Fu Hua brought Xier out with the mentality of trial... the purpose was to test Xier's results.

Although the battle location she had planned was not here, and the enemy was not this old man, Xier's performance still made her very happy, even exceeding her expectations. She had even planned to stop Xier if she went too far, but Fu Hua did not expect that Xier actually managed to suppress that impulse.

"Master! Master!"

Xier trotted back to Fu Hua. The old man on her shoulder was shaking and his already weak breath became even weaker.

"Well done."

Fu Hua looked into Xi'er's eyes and praised her.

"Hey hey!"

Xier scratched her head embarrassedly. Fu Hua's straightforward praise made Xier feel a little embarrassed.

"Put him down." Fu Hua said to Xier, and Xier obediently threw the old man aside.

"…Uh, nevermind."

Fu Hua wanted to say something, but when she saw Xier, the sermon on her lips could not be uttered.

Well, let her relax.

Fu Hua thought so and pressed a few times on the old man's acupoints with one hand.

The old man's unconscious consciousness gradually became clear. He subconsciously dodged the next moment he reacted, and then hit the mountain wall with a thud. His impression of the environment was still stuck in what it was just now.

However, this also woke him up completely. He looked at Fu Hua, then at Xier who was rubbing his hands together as if he was ready to fight again. Finally, he decided not to move for the time being and see how the situation develops.

"Tell me, how did you get here, and why did you want to kill the entire Li family!"

Fu Hua's words, spoken in a calm tone, were like heavy hammers, pressing down on the old man's heart with every word, disrupting his breath once again.

"Ahem!"

The old man coughed twice. Fu Hua's strength made him completely give up the idea of ​​escaping, but this was also within his expectations. He wanted to let these two people know that everything they had was false, and only that great god could lead people out of the sea of ​​suffering!

"Hahaha, the Li family? They are just small characters. I have no hatred against them. It's just a small sacrifice to reach the Pure Land!"

The old man sneered twice and said: "People in the world only know about demons, but never think about the meaning of their existence! All the so-called heavenly masters and alchemists' speculations about demons are wrong!!!"

There was a gleam in the old man's eyes, as if he were a believer who was preaching.

"Demons are the enemy of mankind! They are irresistible enemies! They are only the weakest ones now! The real big demon has not appeared yet!!!"

The old man suppressed his injuries and walked to the mural with his hands and feet. He pointed at the mural with both hands and said excitedly: "Look! Look! This is the evidence! This is the true form of the demon from ancient times! Look at this great power! Moving mountains and filling the sea are just small tricks!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his hands began to tremble.

"Emperors, warriors, they are all worthless!! They are all false!!"

"The appearance of the Heavenly Demon is a true disaster! Even the Red Mandarin Duck Immortal cannot resist it!!"

"..."

Fu Hua looked at the old man quietly without saying a word.

Xier was also shocked by what the old man said. She didn't expect that the old man could draw such a conclusion based on this mural.

If we replace the word "demon" in his language with "Honkai Beast" and the word "Great Demon" with "Hersherrs", we can know that he has understood the battles of the previous era recorded in the murals.

The old man continued speaking.

"Many years ago, I was frustrated that my martial arts skills had not progressed, so I went to the mountains to practice, but I never expected to see the truth of the world!"

"After finally understanding this revelation, I began to look for similar revelations, but I didn't find any for more than ten years. But! There is always a way out! I finally found it!! The answer from God!!"

The old man knelt on the ground like a fanatic, bowing devoutly in one direction.

"As long as you can survive the demonic power, you are the chosen one!! Only by gathering such a group of people can we hope to defeat the demon!!!"

Chapter 25

(This guy... could he have come into contact with Kevin's Stigmata Project?)

The little consciousness in Xier's body also heard the old man's words, and then she immediately thought of Kevin's Stigma Plan.

"If that's the case, the tragedy of the Li family can be explained."

Xier nodded. If the old man was a supporter of the Stigmata Project, then Xier would understand why a high concentration of Honkai energy erupted in the Li family's tragedy. He wanted to conduct a local experiment on the effect of the Stigmata Project.

The old man's speech was still going on. At this moment, he had forgotten about escaping and was fully focused on preaching to the two people present.

"Only the Chosen One can save the world! Only the Great God can save the world!"

Madness was evident in the old man's eyes. He shouted "God" with great respect in his voice. It was obvious that that was what he believed in.

"Are you finished?"

Fu Hua looked at the old man quietly, without a single change on her face.

This made the old man's expression freeze, and then an expression of anger visible to the naked eye appeared on his face.

"Stubborn! Stubborn!"

The old man said to Fu Hua with great sorrow: "No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you will never be able to defeat the demon!"

"Yeah, we really haven't fought Honkai."

Fu Hua nodded calmly and said, "In this regard, we are all losers. Kevin and I are just chasing the ashes left behind by the flames."

"You guys! Huh?"

The old man was about to say something, but he noticed the hidden message in Fu Hua's words. He was a little crazy, but he was not stupid. Fu Hua's plain words made him think.
