Chapter 391 The Bridge of Inner Demons
There was no special farewell. When he received the news from Ye Chenxing, Wu Chi left quietly and silently.
Ye Xiao may know something, but since he was frightened by Yang Xiuchuan, he has become much more honest, so naturally he doesn't dare to mention it.
If Ye Xiao initially became friends with Wu Chi because he was afraid of Wu Chi's strength, then after being in contact with Wu Chi for such a long time, he already has a sense of trust in Wu Chi, as if as long as he is with Wu Chi, It will be affected naturally.
Of course, in fact, even if Wu Chi is ignored now, Ye Xiao doesn't dare to have any thoughts anymore.
Not to mention how terrifying Su Wan is, the current strength of Demon Lord Zihua and Demon Lord Huanxi alone is enough to make Ye Xiao dare not have the slightest dissent.
This is why Wu Chi dares to leave with peace of mind now.
The mark of the prison world was activated, and in an instant, Wu Chi had entered the fifth level of the prison world.
There was darkness and void all around, and where he landed was a long bridge with almost no end in sight.
Contrary to expectations, even if they stepped into the five levels of the prison world at the same time, the three of them did not appear together. It seemed that each of them stepped into an independent space.
Looking up, I saw that there was no turning back on this bridge, and there was also endless darkness behind it, which seemed to be able to swallow everything.
Wu Chi carefully looked at the surrounding environment, but also did not find any clues. This made Wu Chi puzzled. According to Jiang Rui, shouldn't the fifth level of the prison world be the prison of inner demons?
But now there are no hallucinations, and there are no other people. There is just such a long bridge running through the void. What kind of inner demon is this?
After thinking for a moment, Wu Chi immediately stepped forward.
However, at the moment when he raised his feet, there were suddenly more figures on the long bridge.
Even though they were separated for a long time, Wu Chi still recognized them at a glance. The people who suddenly appeared in front of him were the same people he killed in Jianying Villa.
Time passed so long that Wu Chi couldn't even remember their names.
His pupils shrank slightly, but Wu Chi suddenly sneered.
Sure enough, he is still a demon.
"When I was still a weak disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, I dared to draw the sword. Am I still afraid of it now? Even if it happens again ten or a hundred times, I will still kill him without fail. What kind of bullshit inner demon is this? ?”
With one step forward, the Chengying Divine Sword was immediately in hand and slashed down neatly without Wu Chi even blinking.
Along the way, killing along the way, countless people appeared one after another. These were all those who died in Wu Chi's hands. Some Wu Chi remembered, and naturally there were some that he had completely forgotten. However, no matter whether they remembered it or not, the appearance of these people could not be ignored. Wu Chi's hand holding the sword stopped at all.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, which also made Wu Chi's sword-holding hand tremble slightly.
"Senior brother?!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Wu Chi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Liu Yu!
The person who appeared in front of Wu Chi at this moment was Liu Yu, the senior brother who had taken care of him since he was a child in Iron Sword Gate. The senior brother who had always protected and urged him.
"Junior brother, you have killed so many people, don't you have a trace of guilt or regret?"
Waiting for Wu Chi, Liu Yu scolded in a deep voice.
Even though he clearly knew that the person in front of him was just the demon in his heart and was not the real senior brother, Wu Chi still felt some inexplicable pain in his heart when faced with the senior brother's questioning.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Chi slowly raised his head and said seriously, "Why should I feel guilty? Shouldn't they be killed?"
Pointing at the corpse behind him, Wu Chi asked in a cold voice, "Hundreds of people in Jianying Villa were killed just for the sake of a Shadow-bearing Divine Sword and a bit of Jianying Villa's wealth. Shouldn't such people be killed?" What?"
"The master's sect was destroyed, and the senior brothers and sisters were sold into the dark auction. Shouldn't such revenge be avenged?"
"Even if these people deserve to die, what about the others?" Liu Yu asked in a deep voice, "How many people have you killed since you left Iron Sword Sect? How many more people have you killed in order to compete for opportunities and practice?"
With a look of sadness in his eyes, Liu Yu continued, "Look back, how many of those people who died in your hands do you remember? Maybe some of them deserved to die, but how many of them were innocent people? ?”
"Innocent? Where does the innocence come from?" Wu Chi shook his head slightly and said coldly, "Cultivation itself is something that goes against heaven. This is a road full of blood and danger! Once you set foot on this road, you have control over your life and death. , If I don’t kill someone, they will kill me! In this case, how can I say I’m innocent?”
"Master has taught us since we were young to abide by the way of swordsmanship and the right path. But what do you do now, do you think you are a person of the right path?" Liu Yu cursed heartbrokenly.
"What is good and what is evil? Senior brother, do you really understand?"
With a complex look in his eyes, Wu Chi said softly, "Brother, I can't tell the difference between good and evil! From the time I first held the sword, I have said that I hold the sword to uphold my true heart!"
Pointing his finger to his heart, Wu Chi said calmly, "I don't regret everything I did, because I have never violated my heart."
With no regrets!
These four words are the most realistic portrayal of Wu Chi's actions in his life.
No matter how many people he killed, no matter what kind of things he did, from beginning to end, Wu Chi never went against his heart. This word is worthy of his heart.
For Wu Chi, this is his swordsmanship!
If you do not violate the way of the sword, you can walk down the road without any guilt. No matter who you encounter, you will not be afraid or stop.
"Ridiculous! Junior brother, now that I'm standing in front of you, do you want to kill me too?"
While speaking, Liu Yu's hand fell steadily on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he scolded sternly.
After a moment of silence, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Wu Chi's face.
"Senior brother, have you forgotten... I have drawn my sword on you a long time ago."
Wu Chi will never forget the scene when he did not hesitate to draw a sword on his senior brother in order to stay in Jianying Villa. It was from that moment that he was no longer the little person who just wanted to eat and die, and truly embarked on his own journey. The path of swordsmanship.
At that moment, it meant that he had embarked on a completely different path.
No matter what is on this path, from the moment you choose it, you will never regret it!
I didn't regret it at the beginning, but now, would I still regret it?
Wu Chi knew very well that the person in front of him was not his senior brother, but just an inner demon. The reason why he said so many words was not because he was really bewitched, but just to strengthen his will little by little.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the sword edge trembled slightly, and Wu Chi's sword was already slashed out.
Wu Chi was not incapable of hesitation. Under the pressure of the Demon Lord, Wu Chi personally led the people of the Demon Sect to Kunlun and almost single-handedly started a war between good and evil. At that time, he was also confused and hesitant.
But no matter what, when he drew his sword, there was no hesitation at all!
Use the sword without regrets!
This is the sword heart of the sword holder.
"puff!"
In an instant, blood splashed out, and Liu Yu also fell into a pool of blood, no different from those who died under Wu Chi's sword before.
The sword was drawn extremely decisively, but this sword seemed to open the door to hell.
No matter what Wu Chi was thinking, at the moment when he attacked and killed Liu Yu, his inner demons were already silently growing.
Wu Chi didn't know that this bridge was originally called the Heart Demon Bridge!
Inner demons never appear suddenly for no reason, especially for those who do not have inner demons in their hearts, inner demons grow slowly.
If you have inner demons, they will be triggered the moment you step on the inner demon bridge, so there is no need to mention them.
But for a person like Wu Chi who doesn't actually have any inner demons, if he wants to trap his inner demons, he must be guided to breed them little by little.
Whether it is those who died in Wu Chi's hands before or Liu Yu who appears now, they are actually leading him to breed inner demons.
Some things, just because you think you are right, will not be affected at all.
Demons arise from the heart!
And the heart itself is the most complex thing.
Wu Chi clearly knew that the Liu Yu who appeared in front of him was fake, and he knew that his choice was not wrong, but when Liu Yu fell under his sword, his heart was still affected involuntarily.
This is the growth of inner demons. No matter how determined and strong your will is, it is impossible to completely avoid the growth of inner demons.
Because inner demons are born from the heart!
Behind Liu Yu, familiar faces appeared, including the senior brothers and sisters from the Iron Sword Sect, as well as the master who taught him the way of swordsmanship since he was a child! There are Wei Changtian who was kind to him in Kunlun, Changchun Zhenren, Mo Yan, and all the people he is familiar with...
On this bridge of inner demons, these people have all become obstacles to moving forward.
Even if your heart is as solid as stone, when the sword in your hand keeps slashing down, you will still feel a hint of pain uncontrollably.
There seems to be only a thin line between truth and falsehood.
When Zhou Boyan finally appeared on the Heart Demon Bridge, Wu Chi's hand holding the sword finally trembled again.
"Wu Chi, for you, cultivation is really above all else. Even if I were to block you, would you still swing your sword and kill him without hesitation?"
Looking at Wu Chi, Zhou Boyan spoke softly.
Dressed in white, he looks just like when we first met him at Jianying Villa, and even his eyes and expression are so real.
With a slight tremor in his heart, Wu Chi had a complicated look in his eyes and said softly, "My mind has never changed. We have also agreed to die together and live together..."
"You ask me, if I would cut him off with my sword without hesitation even if he was in front of you."
"Then, I also want to ask...if it was really you, wouldn't you get out of the way even though you knew it would be an obstacle?"
