Chapter 554: Hold the Sword and Appear on Stage!
Buzz buzz buzz.
Unlike the huge noise that was turned upside down on the battlefield, the sand and mud in the underground pit trembled and fell quietly.
Those rock-hard rocks and minerals, under the suppression of the inexplicable pressure, quietly cracked.
Then, with a few light pops, they turned into gravel.
The gravel cracked again.
With a hissing sound, they were crushed into powder again.
"What am I doing?"
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the completely crushed eight-winged red twin dragon python on the battlefield.
No.
That's not the red twin dragon python.
That's caramel candy!
Caramel candy is fine.
In the end, this woman and himself don't have much intersection.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that he should only be worried out of sympathy for the weak.
But...
What about Xin Gugu?
Just now, he, who had a "perception" of the whole process, could only watch the four minotaurs rushing towards the storyteller, and were directly shattered in the black hole debris.
That was not just a ghost beast minotaur!
That was Xin Gugu!
"Huh!"
Xu Xiaoshou felt his breathing was a little rapid.
"What am I doing?"
He asked himself again.
He covered his forehead with his hands, and his hands were covered with cold sweat. Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
"Dead?"
"All dead?!"
Looking at the sweat stains in his withered palms, Xu Xiaoshou didn't even notice that the chicken sword he was holding tightly was already bent in pain, and he was completely unconscious.
"Xin Gugu, dead?"
"And I... what am I doing?"
Xu Xiaoshou stopped and suddenly supported the soil on both sides with his hands.
He raised his head and realized that he had passed through the blood sea barrier summoned by Xin Gugu from the deep pit underground.
He only needed to break out of the ground with one step.
"No, no, no..."
"Saint slave, that's 'Saint slave'!"
"Xu Yue Hui Gong, that's 'Xu Yue Hui Gong'!"
"This is a war between a bunch of big men at the level of Zhan Dao. What can I do if I go?"
Xu Xiaoshou pinched his hand desperately, trying to calm himself down.
"Let alone, even if we completely abandon the storyteller and the ghost beast, what about the other side?"
Dozens of red-clothed people, like him, watched the fire from the other side of the river, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"There are red-clothed people on top, as well as night watchers, Lan Ling, Yu Zhiwen, and the Sealing Heaven Array."
"I'm just a small innate ant, what am I thinking?"
"Go out?"
The red eyes were full of primitive destructive desire, and Xu Xiaoshou's breathing became more and more rapid.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
"Huh..."
He grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed his cheeks hard.
He didn't even notice the pain of the skin being broken and embedded in the sand and gravel in the wrinkles on his old face, and let his face bleed and repair.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
Ji Jian was trying his best to suppress his screams.
His fear at the moment was not because of Xu Xiaoshou's huge force that almost strangled him to death, but because of the crazy mood of this big devil.
What's wrong with this guy?
Twitching, seizure?
"Feared, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou gasped.
"I can't go out, I can't go out."
"What can I do?"
"The most I can do is release Ah Jie, and then watch Ah Jie get maimed and killed, and then expose my identity."
"In the end, I was beaten to death by the angry storyteller and the red-clothed people!"
"What can I do?"
"I have a 'passive fist' that can blow myself up and seriously injure myself, leaving half of my body, and begging others on the battlefield not to kill me?"
"What can I do..."
Xu Xiaoshou muttered to himself, asking himself and answering: "I can't do anything!"
"If I go out now, I will die!"
"But..."
Watching Caramel Tang swallow the ghost beast bead that knew the ending without any scruples, fighting for Xin Gugu wholeheartedly.
"What about me?"
Xu Xiaoshou's mind was blank.
A thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
If he hid underground like this, even if he really survived in the end...
What is the purpose of living?
"For myself?"
"For selfishness?"
Xu Xiaoshou clutched his chest, and there was a trace of confusion in his bloodshot eyes.
In the past, he might have really lived just for himself.
No one can say that I can live for the world after being killed by the disease and then having a chance life experience.
Xu Xiaoshou can't do it either.
The battle for hegemony, the assassination on rainy nights, the inner courtyard Tianxuan Gate, the city lord's mansion framed Zhang Taiying as a ghost beast...
Which time did Xu Xiaoshou not live for himself?
But along the way, he found that he had changed.
Everyone will grow up.
No one can really live "just" for themselves!
Just!
When the black hole crushed Xin Gugu and the blood rain fell all over the sky.
The picture that emerged in front of Xu Xiaoshou was the scene of the first meeting of two people who should have no connection.
At the door of Duojin Commercial Bank, the guy was hiding behind Caramel.
I forgot whether there was a conversation with myself.
Probably, but he only said a few words, and he was just a passerby character that no one would remember.
But why, these scenes...
Xu Xiaoshou held his head and lowered it to hide.
Even so, the images in front of him are still playing in turn.
After being comatose at the hands of Red Dog, the first thing he saw when he woke up was the man lying on his bed drooling.
The person who was always on the front line during the night attack on Zhang Mansion.
Under the virtual image of Zhang Taiying in the city lord's palace, the man who turned into a ghost beast and climbed on top without saying a word...
"Xin Gugu, what are you living for?"
"And for yourself?"
Xu Xiaoshou scoffed.
He thought this answer was ridiculous.
A discerning person will see that he is wrong.
Suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and the envy flashed in Xin Gugu's eyes when he bought the large manor in Tiansang City while holding the gold card.
"If possible, reserve a room..."
Bang.
In the underground pit, the mud and rocks from all directions suddenly exploded with a dull sound, and then were suppressed by inexplicable pressure, and were firmly embedded in the mud layer.
Xu Xiaoshou burst into tears.
He didn't understand what Xin Gugu was living for and what he was working so hard for.
This kind of problem...
Maybe, even the guy himself doesn’t know!
But suddenly for a moment, I could feel it again.
"If it weren't for those cruel ghost beasts, there would be no red clothes who like genocide."
"And if there weren't those cruel red-coated beasts, these ghost beasts who don't know why they live would not have to fight for hatred."
"if……"
No if!
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly stopped thinking.
The reality is so cruel.
What if... can never exist.
But those vicious cycles of cause and effect are left everywhere!
People are not stupid.
Everyone knows that they are already deeply trapped in the chess game. The more they struggle, the tighter they will be bound by the outside world.
But if you don’t struggle, you will die.
In this kind of action that leads to bad results, does it matter what we live for?
It's already good to be alive.
"That's not right!"
"This world is deformed, isn't it?"
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly understood everything he longed for and was trying to pursue.
It’s not a very complicated thing to live for, it’s just two simple and pure words:
"free!"
Just like the bird in the cage longing to get out of the cage, the fish in the pond trying to jump into the air, the tiger in the mountain trying to get out of the forest...
Freedom, no reason.
But freedom is simple to say, but every step you want to take is restricted.
In a battle between trapped beasts, how to break out of the cage?
When everything in destiny is arranged properly, and everyone is like a chariot, horse and artilleryman who is given the rules of advancement from birth, freedom is easier said than done.
There was a thud.
Xu Xiaoshou collapsed on the ground, letting the soil above his head bury him.
He understood that what he had been fighting for, rejecting, and pursuing... was nothing more than freedom!
Vigil, holy slaves, including ghost beasts...
Every big figure and powerful force that has extended an olive branch to him, everyone's approval seems to be saying, "You, Xu Xiaoshou, are the strongest and have the most potential, join us!"
but?
"I can't do anything!"
Xingugugu, caramel candy...
Under the pressure of the storyteller, one after another, it seems that they can be called friends, but he can only watch them die in front of his eyes.
Xu Xiaoshou, who had witnessed everything... was helpless!
It has potential, but what’s the use?
Everyone knows that Xu Xiaoshou is out now.
There is nothing you can do but die.
But, just because of this, should we choose to continue to live in it?
"Alive..."
"hehe!"
Xu Xiaoshou laughed at himself.
The soil around him was clearly supported by the spirit element, opening up a spherical living space.
But at this moment, the mud and rocks are still falling in large chunks, like a small earthquake.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that even the earth was laughing at him.
He lowered his head, looked at the chicken sword that was deformed by his grip, and loosened his grip.
"Sorry, I forgot about you."
Xu Xiaoji whined desperately, as if he wanted to make some noise, but the sword was shaking wildly and he couldn't speak at all.
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"..."
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the information column and laughed.
He knew that Xu Xiaoji was afraid of him, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so afraid.
As for that?
"Chicken..."
"I remember your name, it seems I gave it to you, right?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt like he was watching a movie, and suddenly there was a funny scene outside the city lord's mansion, where this guy was desperately calling him brother.
"woo woo woo woo."
Big chunks of soil fell.
The ground trembled slightly, and fine lines were cracking.
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Requested, passive value, +1."
"not talking?"
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the information column again, request?
He smiled bitterly, raised the chicken sword, and inserted it into the ground.
"Snapped!"
The chicken sword, however, was like a bent straw, snapping directly to the ground.
"Soft?"
"Am I that terrible?"
Xu Xiaoshou was startled for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Don't be afraid, I had a plan before, you should have heard it, the storyteller and I have exactly the same idea."
Xu Xiaoji's incarnation has four swords, which is too similar to the real four swords.
As long as the battle reaches a critical moment, everyone will burst out with all their strength and will not borrow the extra power of the four swords.
The storyteller will give the four swords to himself. After the swap, no one will be able to detect it.
But...
Xu Xiaoshou talked to himself and sighed.
"But living like this is really meaningless."
"After all, you have followed me for so long, just think about the things of stealing and changing the sky."
"Now..."
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and glanced at the tragic scene in the battle, "I really can't do such a thing."
"Are you right?"
"Woo, woo..."
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Being requested, passive value, +1."
"You are sick!"
Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes and took the chicken sword again.
"Turn into a straw hat."
"Woo..."
Can't change.
Xu Xiaoji is about to cry.
What's going on?
Why is it that this small pit seems to be blessed with hundreds of times the gravity.
I can't even stand up, how can I turn you into a straw hat?
"Then forget it."
Xu Xiaoshou clenched the chicken sword tightly and raised his eyes suddenly.
The light and shadow in front of him flashed, as if the disordered time and space were restored, and the soul that was talking to itself returned to the body.
…
"Second brother, take the sword!"
In a flash, the storyteller's voice finally came from the battlefield without any scruples.
At the same time.
There was also a fierce sword flying through the air under the gaze of many red-clothed people!
Xu Xiaoshou cleared the confusion with one glance, broke out of the ground, and grasped four swords.
There was no spiritual energy barrier.
No other scruples.
Hold.
It was really held!
The suppressed emotions that were completely gathered in the underground pit, when they saw the light of day again, suddenly rushed out like a mountain torrent breaking through a dam.
"Freedom..."
Xu Xiaoshou shivered and took a deep breath of dust full of battle residues.
Different from the darkness underground.
Different from the cramped and narrow space.
Flying in the sky is the simplest freedom that everyone longs for.
Peeping in the darkness for too long.
It was so long that Xu Xiaoshou numb himself and only thought about surviving.
But he knew it clearly.
If he really left the ancient book space, how would he get out of the so-called thigh?
There was no way!
All strategies that do not think about the results are just self-deception out of fear of the unknown.
If you can survive, you can live.
If you can't live, it's your fate!
Then you should bloom your own highlight moment like the free Cheng Xingchu after the silence of darkness.
Destiny, sometimes, lies in not compromising, in the unexpected and turning point that appears in the resistance.
"Freedom..."
At the moment when he held the four swords, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized that everything was not important.
This sick world is not worth thinking too much.
When everyone is fighting for the peak, if you can't do anything, then hold the four swords and stand at the peak!
"Boom boom boom"
Xu Xiaoshou dared not say how powerful the force that had accumulated for a whole war was.
The big black hole above the Lijian grassland had been repaired, and the space had been restored to its original state with the truce between the storyteller and the red twin dragon python.
But when Xu Xiaoshou's momentum exploded, the space within a radius of several miles collapsed again, and the earth was destroyed again.
The black hole spread, and the Dao machine was disordered.
A small ancient book space had already suffered too many injuries.
At this moment, it seemed to be completely shattered, the mountains and rivers changed color, the sky was dark, and the earth was dark.
"Freedom..."
Xu Xiaoshou groaned, the magic pattern wrapped around his body, and four swords slanted in the air.
"Fight! There is no reason!"
