Chapter 395 The Heart of the Sword Is Clear
Dripping with blood!
Wu Chi couldn't even remember how many wounds he had on his body. The current strength of the black-clothed mirror was simply a crushing force for him, and he even had no chance to resist.
Every confrontation will leave an additional wound on the body. Although in fact, the black-clothed mirror has avoided Wu Chi's vital points when it attacks, the accumulation of so many injuries has also made Wu Chi extremely weak. .
The wound was burning and painful.
"I said, your path is wrong. If you can't repent, you will never defeat me." Looking at Wu Chi coldly, the black-clothed mirror sneered again.
Reaching out and patting the tattered clothes that were afraid of being injured, Wu Chi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Aren't you annoyed that I'm always so threatening? Otherwise, you can kill me neatly."
"The meaning of my existence is to guide you on the right path and break through yourself, rather than to kill you. Don't you still understand such a simple truth?" The mirror in black said slowly, "If I have the intention Kill you, do you think you can really survive to this day with your strength?"
This is the truth, not to mention that he directly displayed such terrifying strength at the beginning. Even now, if he wants, the opponent can kill him at any time.
If you want to avoid the vital points and still hurt yourself so many times, it is much more difficult than killing yourself.
"I am your mirror image. In other words, I am you. Are you still afraid that you will harm yourself?"
This is also very reasonable.
As a matter of course, no one will hurt you. Therefore, in the process of challenging the mirror image, although it seems a bit dangerous, in fact, it is often dangerous.
Looking at the mirror image in black, Wu Chi was silent for a long time, but in the end he couldn't help but laugh.
"What you said makes so much sense, I almost believed it."
Almost? What's the difference?
The black-clothed mirror looked at Wu Chi in confusion, waiting for him to explain.
"Where is this place? This is the fifth level of the prison world, a place full of death crises. Why, would you tell me, in fact, there is no danger at all when facing the challenge of the mirror image?" Wu Chi shrugged and whispered said.
In fact, just before, Wu Chi had even been shaken in his heart.
But on the contrary, just when the black-clothed mirror asked himself whether he would harm himself, Wu Chi suddenly touched Wu Chi's mind and woke him up suddenly.
There will be no safety test in the fifth level of the prison world, so the attitude of the black-clothed mirror image that does not seem to pose any threat to him must be an illusion, and may even mean that he is in more danger. in the situation.
Once you think about this perspective, everything becomes much simpler.
"Do people really not harm themselves? Not necessarily." Looking at the other party, Wu Chi said softly, "At least, you are not at ease... You are me, this is true, but you may not harm me. , because you are not a mirror image at all, but... my inner demon!"
The moment these words were spoken, Wu Chi's mind became clear and he was completely awake.
Inner demon!
That's right, when I left the Heart Demon Bridge before, I subconsciously thought that the inner demon tribulation had passed, but in fact, that was simply an illusion.
The inner demon is still there, just lurking temporarily.
When he challenged the mirror image, the inner demon had actually quietly reappeared, but this time it appeared more covertly, even completely hiding from his own perception.
This is also the reason why I was self-defeating. I ignored the method of practicing with mirror images before, but used tricks to defeat those mirror images.
From the moment the mirror image appeared, the inner demons were already affecting me.
When the black-clothed mirror finally appears, it's time for the inner demons to truly erupt.
The strength of the black-clothed mirror image is far more terrifying than his own. As he realizes it, his strength can continue to improve, and he can suppress himself tightly, even as if he can't see any hope.
It's not because the mirror test is too abnormal, but because there is no such test at all.
No matter how real it seemed before, in fact, the real test that I have to face is still the calamity of inner demons.
Wrong way?
That is simply a complete misleading, and it is also the real intention of the inner demon.
Once you give up your own Tao, start to question or even deny your own Tao, your Taoist heart will collapse, your cultivation will be greatly weakened, and it may even be backlashed! At that time, that's when the inner demons really take control of themselves.
This is the real test! Once you really start to deny your own way, it means that you will completely fail the test and you will probably die in the fifth level of the prison world.
The inner demon breaks out silently, even without any warning!
Even a determined person like Wu Chi was almost controlled by his inner demons, and the danger involved is self-evident.
In fact, if Wu Chi hadn't reacted quickly, noticed something unusual in the black-clothed mirror's words, and suddenly woke up, there would have been no chance of getting rid of the influence of the inner demon.
"Demons are born from the heart! If you really believe in your own way, how will you be affected?" After his identity was revealed, the black-clothed mirror image, or inner demons, still did not collapse immediately, but continued to speak in a deep voice, " Exploration, but it may not necessarily break it! Your swordsmanship has reached its end and it is almost impossible to continue to break through. This is a fact, isn't it? "
This sentence also hit Wu Chi's heart.
Although Wu Chi's swordsmanship is strong, it is actually not perfect. There are various problems. Therefore, although he now has the strength to fight against Ye Chenxing and Yang Xiuchuan, he still cannot crack the last step. Prove the truth with the sword.
It is precisely because of the existence of this hidden danger that the inner demons took advantage of it and broke out, and even almost allowed Wu Chi to be controlled by the inner demons.
Hearing this, Wu Chi fell silent again.
Countless thoughts suddenly flashed through my mind.
The scary thing about inner demons is that even if you clearly know about the onset of inner demons, you may not be able to resolve them.
Demons arise from the heart, and if you cannot destroy the demons in your heart, you will not be able to prevent the growth of inner demons, let alone resolve them.
Wu Chi is now aware of the existence of his inner demons and has avoided a crisis, but he still cannot resolve his inner demons.
Countless thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, but they still seemed to be tempting Wu Chi to give up the way of swordsmanship and take an easier path again.
Whether it is the Tao of the Five Elements, the Dark Road, or the Tao of Life and Death, Wu Chi is involved in it. Whichever one you choose to practice quietly will be much simpler, and it may not even be less powerful than the Tao of Swords.
For Wu Chi, this is indeed a very tempting choice.
However, at the same time, all the past events were also echoing in Wu Chi's mind.
Growing up in the Iron Sword Sect, Wu Chi will never forget the envy he felt when he was a child when he saw his senior brothers and sisters practicing swords. He will never forget the serious question his master asked when he held the sword for the first time, why did he hold the sword?
Wu Chi could not forget his amazement when he saw Zhou Boyan's sword dance at Jianying Villa, the scene where he reversed the Chengying Sword Intent, and the shock and amazement when he received the inheritance of the Chengying Divine Sword.
I can't forget the joy of having a perfect sword in the sword pool, and I can't forget the excitement and pleasure of cutting the lotus platform with the Tao sword.
For Wu Chi, the sword is no longer just a weapon, but has been integrated into his bones and soul, becoming a part of his body.
How can you give up this kind of swordsmanship?
In an instant, Wu Chi's eyes suddenly revealed a glimmer of light, and his mind became firm again, "Although I still don't understand what the true way of swordsmanship is, it has already been integrated into my life... I , Born for the sword, mad for the sword!"
Almost at the moment he said these words, a bright sword light suddenly appeared on Wu Chi's body!
The sword's heart is clear!
At this moment, all the previous influences collapsed, and Wu Chi could no longer shake his determination.
"My way is that I walked out on my own! It doesn't matter what's right or wrong!"
"If there is a road, I will go there. If there is no road, I will use my sword to cut a road. Why should I hesitate?"
The moment the last words were spoken, the inner demon suddenly collapsed and could no longer affect Wu Chi in the slightest. The black-clothed mirror image in front of him also completely collapsed.
Everything returns to ruins!
Wu Chi suddenly woke up again. The moment he opened his eyes, he realized that he had unknowingly reached the edge of the bridge and even stepped out with one foot!
This scene suddenly made Wu Chi break into a cold sweat.
Just a little bit away, he was about to step into the endless dark void around him. Even if he thought about it with his toes, he should know that once he fell into it, he would definitely die.
Even at this moment, Wu Chi could feel a fatal threat from the terrifying dark void. Even if he was awake, he would definitely die if he fell into it.
Suddenly stepping back and looking at the Heart Demon Bridge under his feet, Wu Chi suddenly realized that the mirror bridge he had stepped on in his previous memory was completely false.
Among the five levels of the entire prison world, there is no second bridge at all!
At the same time, Wu Chi also saw Ye Chenxing and Yang Xiuchuan not far away, who also took one foot out of the bridge.
Judging from the current situation of the two of them, it is obvious that they are both affected by their inner demons and are on the verge of life and death.
After a slight hesitation, Wu Chi suddenly took action and pulled the two of them back from the edge of the bridge.
However, due to the influence of their inner demons, the two of them did not notice anything unusual at all. Even if they were pulled back, they still continued to walk towards the bridge without any awareness.
Under the calamity of inner demons, outsiders have nothing to do. The only one who can really decide life or death is yourself.
Thinking of this, Wu Chi couldn't help but sigh, and then cast his gaze forward.
Although the inner demons have been solved, it seems that the bridge of inner demons has not yet been completed, and it seems that there is still no end in sight...
