In the Blade

While Wenquxingjun was dealing with the Demon's Brain, Du Chengfeng also encountered some troublesome things.

Those were some powerful people who came to seek shelter. They did not grab the remains of the demon. Normally, they should have looked for those powerful powerful people who had magic soldiers. Together, they relied on the power of the magic soldiers to resist. The extraterrestrial demons—but right now, those powerful men with demonic soldiers have stopped accepting people.

In the final analysis, even with the power of a magic weapon, the protection it can provide is still limited.

So these weak powerful people found Baizu Xingjun.

Although Baizuxingjun seems to have no magic soldiers, the opponent is at least stronger than them. Now that the disaster is approaching, he should be able to protect them.

But what these powerful men don't know is that their actions are no different from willingly committing suicide.

"But...don't kill yet."

Just when Du Chengfeng invited several powerful men into the cave and was about to close the door and beat the dogs, Wu Zhao stopped his actions.

"Don't kill yet, there's something wrong."

"Why?"

Du Chengfeng was a little puzzled. You must know that these powerful men had all participated in the encirclement and suppression of him. Rounding it all off, they could be considered to have a grudge against him. Now that the enemies met, and he also had to protect his privacy, Killing these powerful people is the most correct idea.

Anyway, when the time comes, all we need to say is that it was the work of the demon from outside the territory. After all, many powerful people have disappeared recently, and it is said that it was done by the demon from outside the territory. Du Chengfeng can be sure that he has not done those things, but this outside world Since Tianmo has already taken the blame to this extent, it doesn't matter if he takes more cases.

"Because of these powerful powers..."

Wu Zhao was silent for a moment.

"Do you really think they can be called powerful?"

"In terms of strength..."

Only halfway through speaking, Du Chengfeng choked on the spot.

Yes, in terms of strength, these people who come to seek refuge are indeed powerful, but in terms of mentality, they will actively seek refuge instead of seeking solutions to problems. This kind of thing...

Du Chengfeng couldn't see any heroic spirit in these people.

You must know that these people were once heroes among heroes, heroes among heroes. In every era, only the top few, or even that one person, can have a glimpse of the heavenly world, soar to the sky and achieve great power. Chance.

They have also been able to call upon the wind and rain, they have been all-powerful, they have defeated thousands of armies, and they have done great things.

But now it seems...

They are not even as good as one, a mortal evil spirit master.

Mortal masters of evil spirits at least know how to fight hard, and know that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, but these powerful people, these powerful people who have been watching for a long time, they...

"What are you asking why we don't fight hard?"

When Du Chengfeng finally couldn't help but express his doubts through Baizu Xingjun's mouth, these powerful men shook their heads.

"You definitely can't go all out, or what's the point of going all out? If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. It doesn't mean that we can beat it if we try our best... Assess the situation, and then choose a way to survive. The path is to follow the principles of the world. Otherwise, if you really know that you are going to die and still fight, you might as well just commit suicide in advance.”

"..."

Listening to the explanations given by these powerful men, Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao fell into silence for a while.

They can't even tell the mistakes of these powerful people, just because what these powerful people said is indeed right. If you still fight when you know you can't beat it, it is no different from committing suicide - especially for these powerful people. For example, since it is clear that his choice is to commit suicide, the idea of ​​death will naturally follow.

So in order to survive, in order to continue to live, their current choices are natural.

Only by living can you have moral integrity, only by living can you have a future, and only by living can you have everything.

When you die, there is nothing.

"but……"

Baizu Xingjun's right eye, controlled by Du Chengfeng, exchanged glances with Baizu Xingjun's left eye, controlled by Wu Zhao.

In fact, there is no need to even exchange glances for this kind of thing. They both know in their hearts that neither they nor the other party can accept this set of things at all.

"Although I did this kind of thing back then, but..."

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Back then, Wu Zhao had actually pursued immortality by fighting with soldiers, but that was only because he had no opponents in his own era. He needed to find more exciting battles and more powerful challenges. This was The purpose of his life was not to do anything to survive like these powerful people.

As for Du Chengfeng's words...he couldn't even agree with this. After all, when he was completely broke and faced with He Xiqing, his choice was not to run away but to fight for his life.

Indeed, at that time, escaping was the right choice. He could go all the way south and leave He Xiqing to the Nanchen generals to deal with. As for himself, he could not be contaminated with evil spirits and use the thoughts in his mind. With knowledge that is different from this world, you can become a free and elegant rich man.

"But if you really do this..."

Du Chengfeng smiled helplessly.

If he really did that, he would not be himself. If he really did that, he would not be here now.

If he really did that, He Xiqing would have caught up with him and killed him long ago, and he would not have been alive until now.

The more afraid of death you are, the more likely you are to die. The less afraid of death you are, the more likely you are to survive.

These powerful people in front of them were once heroes, and they should not be unaware of this.

But judging from their current performance...

They seem to have forgotten this dangerous experience.

No, it doesn't even seem like they have forgotten. They may still know this, but their understanding of the world has surpassed this cognition. When they face the pursuit of death for a long time, when they devote everything to understanding this world, this world is also gradually taming them.

Until they become what they are now.

"There is a problem."

At this moment, Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao both felt it clearly.

"This so-called great power, the so-called Taoism... These so-called principles of heaven and earth, or the research on the principles of heaven and earth, are problematic in themselves!"

Wu Zhao was fine, but Du Chengfeng was already sweating coldly.

After all, compared to Wu Zhao, who had not yet become a great power, Du Chengfeng had really become a great power.

In fact, he once accepted the so-called great power's way of cultivation.

Get rid of the three turbidities, pursue the power of purity, pursue the power of will, and feel that a firm will can change everything-indeed, this is the special feature of this world, and it seems to be no problem at first glance.

But if a firm will can really change everything, then what else needs to be changed by him?

When he can achieve everything and do everything, what greets him is not the omnipotent other side.

At the end of this road, what awaits him is a greater nothingness.

"So it seems that it's a good thing that I didn't take this road."

In the mind of the Centipede Star Lord, it was Wu Zhao's turn to laugh at it this time.

"No wonder you became like this, even your body was torn into pieces, it turned out to be because of this, it turned out to be because you were fooled... Don't you feel something is wrong?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

If there is anything wrong, there is actually something wrong, such as he can't find an opponent after becoming a powerful person, and even needs to return to the ground to train himself again, and this so-called training has no direction, it is completely based on luck - Du Chengfeng is actually not used to this situation.

After all, the way he has mastered power has always been to rely on one enemy after another, one opponent after another. They may indeed bring him the threat of death, but they can indeed be regarded as the best teachers.

But after flying to the sky, Du Chengfeng can't see the way forward.

The days seemed to have returned to normal, which should have made him happy, but in the eyes of Du Chengfeng, who was used to fighting, this was not a good thing. An inexplicable sense of crisis entangled him, always making him want to find something to do - perhaps this was why he suddenly chose that dangerous path, even though he knew that he might have to fight with many powerful people, he still continued.

Even though Huo De Xingjun repeatedly dissuaded him, he failed to stop him. Perhaps what he longed for at that time was a hearty battle.

Peace is only a temporary falsehood, and struggle is the truth hidden in the deepest.

And now, these powerful people in front of Du Chengfeng have lost the consciousness of struggle.

Without the consciousness of struggle and the will to continue fighting, they may have had courage and blood, but those iron and blood strengths were eventually worn out in the peaceful life day after day.

If they knew that they would become like this in the future, would they laugh when they were young?

Maybe, but maybe not. After all, isn't the current appearance of these powerful people determined by their own will?

They rely on their own will to decide everything, and rely on their own will to become what they want. They may be a little happy to become what they are now.

"But, as for me..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

It was because of seeing the appearance of these powerful people that Du Chengfeng would never allow himself to become like this.

The same is true for Wu Zhao, who controls the other half of his body.

"Then now, it can actually be confirmed."

Wu Zhao continued to speak until Du Chengfeng came back to his senses.

"The cultivation tradition of the powerful is problematic in itself. Have you discovered that the three turbidities that are isolated by you so-called powerful people are the source of power in themselves? Even if you powerful people want to kill people, you also need to rely on controlling the three turbidities to kill... You say this thing is not good, but you want to use it. Don't you think this thing itself is wrong?"

"You mean..."

Du Chengfeng vaguely thought of an answer.

"Is the Taoism itself fake?"

"It's not necessarily fake, after all, you all do have the power."

Wu Zhao thought about it, then shook his head while controlling half of the head of the Centipede Star Lord.

"After all, I know your strength. If the thing given to you is a fake, you will definitely find the problem immediately. After all, you are not a fool. How could you not even have this kind of vision... The power is real, and the further improvement is definitely real, but does this further improvement really match your original thing?"

"This?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned by the question. This was completely different from what he thought.

Originally, in Du Chengfeng's expectation, at most there was a problem with the Taoism, or the way the powerful people mastered the power was mixed with something. Of course, Du Chengfeng also knew that with the keenness of many heroes, they would definitely be able to detect it if they were directly deceived by fake things-but Du Chengfeng also knew that the truly brilliant lies are often the truth, but the most important part of the information is hidden.

But now, Wu Zhao's statement has opened up another idea for him.

The words are not false, the power is not false, and even the information is complete. After all, these powers and knowledge are explored by the powerful people themselves. Everything is fine and looks like it.

The only problem is that this thing is not compatible with their own power, or even with the world itself.

If you want to adapt to the new power, you must give up the previous power, which is obviously completely consistent with the "three turbidities". But when you really want to kill someone, the form of power must be expressed in the way of the three turbidities.

In the past, Du Chengfeng didn't even notice the distortion in this aspect. He just thought that the promotion of power might be like this, that is, you should give up the old self and achieve a new self.

But now it seems...

"Too obvious!"

Recalling his experience along the way, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The incoordination here is too obvious.

No matter how much the three turbidities affect people, they are real, omnipresent, and they have to come into contact with them every day-but the power held by the powerful, the so-called firm will, everything, is clearly just falling into the void.

This empty power is completely different from the original three turbidities, that is, the heavy power like the rolling red dust.

Although there is indeed a certain connection between them, this connection is more like a forced grafting, and it is obviously not a normal transition.

"This is the real trouble."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng has also realized the problem, Wu Zhao also added a sentence.

"It is more troublesome than the so-called Wenquxingjun you mentioned."
