Chapter 346 Hypocrisy (1/2)

Chapter 346 Hypocrisy

Outside the battlefield of the Black Horn Region, Yun Ying gently waved her folding fan, looking at the changed scenery around her with interest.

"Has the technique awakened? It can even affect us, it's amazing."

Yun Ying's words sounded very praiseworthy, but in fact it was not the case.

Now she is just a small Dou Ling, and her soul power has been suppressed by herself for the most part, which allows Xiao Yan's power to affect her, so that she can also see this strange illusion.

Yun Ying also knew that if it was Xiao Yan before, the black gas would not have such a strong effect no matter how thick it was. The black gas revealed when fighting with the old demon should be Xiao Yan's limit.

And the reason why it is so thick now that it can make others see illusions is obviously the short-term increase brought by the Black Prison Dark Soul Lock.

"It seems that this technique, I really gave it to you right, it is simply tailor-made for you."

Yun Ying closed the folding fan, and a touching smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Yunying glanced at Xiao Yixian, who was lying on the ground in the far corner with a weak breath, and came to a conclusion in her heart.

No one in the field now cares about Xiao Yixian. Judging from the situation, Xiao Yixian will die here sadly soon.

"Since you make things more interesting, I will be kind enough to save you once."

Yunying lightly touched her fingertips, and a green pill appeared out of thin air at Xiao Yixian's mouth, jumping into her mouth as if it had life.

The next moment, Xiao Yixian's breathing gradually became smoother, her pale face slowly regained its blood color, the blood on her chest was stopped, and the wound was visibly healed.

Then, Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's back again, which was wrapped in black air.

At this time, Xiao Yan's eyes were glowing with scarlet light, staring at the Iron Guardian in front of him, causing beads of sweat to crawl on the Iron Guardian's forehead.

He couldn't understand. He didn't understand why he was so afraid of a great Dou Shi. Normally, he didn't even need to look at such a small character. Shouldn't he kill him in seconds?

But now, Tie Hufa experienced an unprecedented fear from Xiao Yan in front of him, which was even more terrifying than facing the elders of the Soul Hall. It didn't come from strength, but from the depths of the soul, the most primitive fear of human beings.

On the other side, Wu Hufa, who didn't face Tie Hufa directly, saw him standing there in a daze. He glanced at the scenery around him that had changed drastically. This illusion that even he was affected made Wu Hufa feel more uneasy, so Wu Hufa couldn't help but yell at Tie Hufa.

"Tie Hufa! What are you doing?! Hurry up and kill that kid!!!"

"Huh?!"

After Wu Hufa yelled at him, Tie Hufa suddenly woke up and felt extremely humiliated.

I am the guardian of the Soul Hall, a Dou Zong, and I was actually scared by a small great Dou Shi? Are you kidding me? ! !

Iron Guardian felt extremely humiliated, his aura rose, and he stared at Xiao Yan, who was wrapped in black air, with murderous intent.

Even if I was just seriously injured, even if a low-level Dou Huang can deal with me now, you, a great Dou Master, are not qualified to challenge me!

Your life, this guardian will take it today! ! !

At this time, Xiao Yan didn't know what Iron Guardian was thinking, or there was no need to know.

At this time, his heart had completely fallen into instinct, and there was only one thought in his mind, a thought that he had been suppressing all the time and followed his nature the most.

Fight violence with violence, fight evil with evil!

In stark contrast to the humility on the surface, Xiao Yan's nature is actually quite arrogant. In fact, he has always looked down on those who are at the same level or even higher than himself. He believes that he has the ability to defeat the other party, so he will do those things that others think are seeking death again and again.

In the Warcraft Mountains, he faced the Wolf Head Mercenary Group as a fighter, in the Tagor Desert, he stepped into the strange fire to save Medusa as a fighter, and in the Black Horn Region, he faced the old demon as a great fighter. These are all proofs of Xiao Yan's extreme pride. He believes that he can do these things, no matter what his strength is.

Xiao Yan's nature is quite admiring of the strong. He just forced himself to sympathize with the weak on the grounds of righteousness.

It can even be said that Xiao Yan is hypocritical. What he thinks in his heart is completely different from what he does.

And the idea of ​​fighting violence with violence and fighting evil with evil has always been the most instinctive idea in Xiao Yan's mind from the beginning to now.

However, because of the rationality brought by the righteousness that Xiao Yan forced himself to attach to himself, Xiao Yan realized that this method alone could not solve the fundamental problem, and it would even be counterproductive, so he suppressed it again and again, along with his arrogance.

Xiao Yan has always looked at himself and others from a third-person perspective. In Xiao Yan's mind, the only difference between himself and others is that he can be perfectly controlled by his righteousness.

Because of this, Xiao Yan has been able to restrain himself again and again in the face of greed and temptation.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, he is not restraining himself, but commanding a puppet who completely obeys him, telling him what to do and what not to do, and even controlling his words and deeds.

And whenever I can't control the puppet [Xiao Yan], the dark black energy deep in my heart will emerge. When the black energy emerges, Xiao Yan's actions are not determined by him at all. Under the control of the concept of righteousness, he is the real him at this time, and what he does is what he really wants to do.

But before, even if Xiao Yan was himself, he was at least trying his best to suppress himself and not go too far. There was still a desire to resist his original intention in his heart, so his reason was still there and there was still room for redemption.

But this time, when he saw the little medical fairy being pierced through the chest by the Iron Guardian in order to protect himself, Xiao Yan took the initiative to give up even a trace of resistance and let his instincts take over his mind without any reservation, with only one purpose.

【kill him】

Xiao Yan's scarlet eyes once again bloomed with frightening red light, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his body was swallowed up by the black energy, and disappeared from the sight of the Iron Protector in just the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of crisis emerged in the heart of the angry Iron Protector, as well as the panicked roar of the Bird Protector.

"later!!!!!"

Protector Tie suddenly turned around and saw Xiao Yan coming towards him like a shadow.

At this distance, the Iron Protector could obviously react and fight back.

But for some reason, when Protector Tie raised his hand, Xiao Yan's sharp claws wrapped in black energy drew black shadows in the air, and tore off a piece of flesh from Protector Tie's shoulder!

The pain of scraping the flesh made Protector Iron's expression extremely ferocious. If it weren't for the self-esteem of the Protector of the Soul Palace, he would now be wailing like the weaklings he once looked down upon.

At the moment when he experienced the pain, Protector Tie's mind was also churning.

How did this kid become so strong? ! He is just a great fighter! ! !

But now Xiao Yan will not give Protector Tie time to think.

The black shadow flashed again, and another dark claw struck from a tricky angle, aiming directly at Protector Tie's sinister face. Protector Tie was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and turned his head to avoid it, but still Ling Xiao Yan's black claws left four deep blood marks on his face.

At this time, the furious voice of Protector Wu came again.

"Iron Protector! What are you doing?! Are you forced to this point by a little great fighter?!"

"Looking around is not a good habit!!!"

When the Bird Guardian roared, Mo Tianxing seized the opportunity and attacked the Bird Guardian again, causing the unaware Bird Guardian to suffer another heavy blow in the chest.

Anyway, I can't come up with the technique now, and Guardian Wu doesn't believe it either. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two. In this case, let’s fight until death!

Either he dies or I die!

Protector Wu was sneak attacked by Mo Tianxing, his eyes were full of hatred, and thanks to his level being much higher than Mo Tianxing, it was an old devil of the same level as Mo Tianxing who was attacked by Mo Tianxing twice. Can't stand it.

However, although he was not seriously injured, the two consecutive sneak attacks by Mo Tianxing still made it difficult for Guardian Wu to contain the anger in his heart, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

"Mo! God! OK!!!"

The Bird Protector roared angrily and got entangled with Mo Tianxing. At this moment, he had completely lost the game mentality he had at the beginning. All he could think about was killing Mo Tianxing in front of him and extracting his soul. He can't live, he can't die!

On the other side, Protector Iron was stunned for a moment after hearing Protector Wu's furious roar at him.

Even I can't react to this guy's speed. Do you still think he is a great fighter? ? ?

But soon, Guardian Tie had a guess in his mind.

Is it possible that in the eyes of Guardian Ya, Xiao Yan's speed is not outrageous?

Following this guess, Guardian Tie's mind was like being struck by lightning, and he immediately understood everything.

After the black energy emerged from this boy's body, he certainly became stronger.

But more importantly, he has become weaker!

Originally, his current strength was not much different from that of a Dou Huang, but now because of the influence of Xiao Yan's black energy deep in his soul, he could not exert his full strength at all, and his reaction was even slower. Now His actual combat power may not be as good as that of a fighting king!

Just when Protector Tie figured this out, Xiao Yan's offensive attacked him again.

And this time, it was even more swift and violent than the previous two attacks!

Xiao Yan turned into a black shadow, flashing around the Iron Protector. Every time, a bloody wound would be left on the Iron Protector's body. Whether the Iron Protector wanted to fight back, defend or dodge, He would always be one step behind Xiao Yan and be succeeded by Xiao Yan time and time again.

In just a few breaths, Protector Tie's body was already mutilated, and his black robe was stained red with blood.

What makes Guardian Tie even more frightened is that he can't figure out Xiao Yan's attack intention at all. Xiao Yan is like a wild beast with no rules to follow. His fighting style is called bold at best, but random at worst! It was impossible for him to predict where Xiao Yan would attack next!

And as said before, fear to the extreme is anger!

"Boy! Don't be too arrogant!!!"

The anger drove away the fear deep in Tie Guardian's heart. Without the constraints of fear, Tie Guardian was finally able to follow Xiao Yan's traces. When Xiao Yan flashed to his side again, Tie Guardian suddenly smashed The iron fist was released with surging killing intent.

Bang!

Accompanied by a roar, Xiao Yan's black body was knocked back and smashed into the house beside the street, and the whole person was deeply buried in the collapsed bricks and rubble.

When Xiao Yan rushed out of the ruins, the Iron Guardian had already used his fighting skills, and a one-meter-wide black destructive energy wave shot towards Xiao Yan rapidly.

Xuan-level advanced fighting skills, dark swallowing!

"You die!!!"

The Iron Guardian howled and injected his fighting spirit into this attack, wanting to make Xiao Yan, the kid who made him embarrassed to the extreme, die here without a complete corpse!

However, when the black energy wave was still half a meter away from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan suddenly turned sideways and swung his arms forward, and then the black energy on his body condensed into dozens of thick black chains, which suddenly rushed out along the direction of Xiao Yan's arm span and collided with the black energy wave of the Iron Guardian.

Immediately, the Iron Guardian looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. His fighting skills could resist at the beginning, but after a few breaths, he was defeated step by step. Xiao Yan's chains were frequently destroyed, but more chains would come out immediately. The consumption speed of the black energy wave was simply not as fast as the regeneration speed of Xiao Yan's black chains!

Finally, in the horrified sight of the Iron Guardian, his black energy wave was destroyed by dozens of thick black chains, rushing towards him like a surging venomous snake!

Puff!

Although he barely avoided some chains, many chains still hit the Iron Guardian.

As the black chains turned into black gas and dissipated, the extremely miserable Iron Guardian also appeared in front of everyone.

One arm had disappeared, and even more terrifyingly, half of his head had been smashed by the chains!

"Damn bugs! Damn bugs!!!"

The Iron Guardian roared crazily, thinking that he, a Dou Zong and Soul Palace guardian, was actually injured to such an extent by a small Dou Shi!!!

Looking at Xiao Yan, the scarlet light in the Iron Guardian's eyes continued to bloom, and the sinister look in his eyes was beyond description!

"Damn kid, go to hell! Dark Soul Claw!!!"

The Iron Guardian roared hoarsely, and the remaining hand used up the remaining Dou Qi, burning the soul and rushed towards Xiao Yan.

The Iron Guardian with a burning soul was several times stronger than before!

The Iron Guardian, who had completely lost face, no longer cared whether he could live or not. Even if he died, he would drag Xiao Yan down with him! ! !

"Xiao Yan!!!"

Han Feng screamed in shock. She could see that this attack was a life-threatening plan by the Iron Guardian. Even though Xiao Yan had suppressed the Iron Guardian from beginning to end, he could not take this attack!

Han Feng struggled to get up to rescue him, but was unable to do so due to the sequelae of his soul!

Xiao Yan looked at the attack of the Iron Guardian, and his scarlet eyes suddenly flashed. Just as he was about to move, dozens of chains came out from the ground and tied Xiao Yan firmly in place.

This was the last chain of the Iron Guardian, and with Xiao Yan now, these chains could only hold him for a moment.

But this moment was enough!

Looking at the increasingly close claws of the Iron Guardian, Xiao Yan whimpered like a beast, struggling to get rid of the chains, and he did it in the next breath.

But at this time, the attack of the Iron Guardian was only an inch away from him!

The next moment, Xiao Yan would die in this attack!

Iron Guardian's eyes also showed excitement, excited that he could successfully kill Xiao Yan.

He was sure that as long as Xiao Yan took his attack from the front, he would definitely die!

Yes! From the front!

At this critical moment, even Han Feng's eyes showed despair, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side, tightly grasped Iron Guardian's arm, and prevented him from moving forward.

? ! !

The excitement on Iron Guardian's face froze in place, and he turned his head blankly along the arm that blocked him, and saw a woman with long green hair with a look of relief in her eyes.

Elder of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Green Man!

"Huh~~~" Lu Man, who had returned, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the dull-faced Iron Protector with cold eyes, "It's true, just a little bit short.

This chapter officially reveals the real Xiao Yan. Shadow Xiao Yan is not so much the dark side of Xiao Yan as the real Xiao Yan. The Xiao Yan in daily life is fake.

He is arrogant by nature, but because of the righteous path he has set, he forces himself to be humble to others.

He is strong by nature, but because of the righteous path he has set, he forces himself to sympathize with the weak.

Xiao Yan's existence is very contradictory. He thinks almost all evil thoughts in his heart, but in fact he forces himself to be good as much as possible.

Compared to those who are born good, Xiao Yan's character who is evil by nature but wholeheartedly pursues goodness further reflects Xiao Yan's persistence in the righteous path. He has to face not only the evil from the righteous path, but also the evil from the righteous path. The pressure from the outside world and the pressure to go against one's own nature.

The kind of person that Xiao Yan has always hated and wanted to resist is actually the real him. Xiao Yan is actually a collection of contradictions.

Selfish and selfless, hypocritical and sincere, arrogant and humble, admiring the strong and pitying the weak.

Although Xiao Yan is evil by nature, he truly believes that this is wrong, so he restrains his nature again and again.

At least for me personally, I am very complacent about the image of Xiao Yan that I created. It is much more three-dimensional than setting Xiao Yan as a kind person by nature. People are more real because of contradictions.

Finally, let me ask a question. Do you care more about what a person thinks or what a person does? If what he thinks is completely opposite to what he does, which side would you rather believe?
