he came from the void

"Come with me and see with your eyes."

……

Pushing open the door, a dark and deep breath rushed over.

"I can feel that there is no obstacle between us and the black box." Kahn took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and stepped into the dark zone at the core of the arsenal.

There is no longer a dark tunnel, behind the door is a dark and spacious hall.

Directly in front of them, an old man with white hair bowed his head, sitting on a throne on the steps.There are two braziers on either side of the stone steps, which only illuminate the area near the throne.Two statues stood on both sides of the steps, and the details of the carvings were exactly the same as those of the old man on the throne.

At the same time, Kahn also noticed a stone platform on the right side of the throne. On the stone platform was a boxy and simple box, surrounded by thick ink-like shadows, exuding an extremely strong aura, which dimmed the light of the fire. .

It is very certain that this is the black box they are looking for, the source of power for the Shadow Stream faction.

"Two distinguished guests, breaking into a private house is not something a gentleman would do."

The old man on the throne spoke. He didn't even have a guard by his side, but he spoke with confidence.

"The Throne of Hypocrisy." Kahn walked straight to the black box. He didn't mind being accused of burglary again. Anyway, a person who betrayed Kinkou no longer has any credibility for his words.

The old man raised his head and stared at the two of them from a height, his face was haggard, his snake-like eyes revealed a vicious and vicious look.

"Ionia needs a king." His voice was sullen. "They are all too gentle, like livestock in captivity, ready to kill. But I have ambitions and ideas..."

"That's not up to you." Kahn interrupted sharply, he didn't come to listen to an old man's bitterness.

Boom!

The snake-head armrest of the throne was pinched and shattered, and the furious old man stood up abruptly, glaring at Kahn.

"Boy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, do you only know who you are talking to?"

Da da da……

There was a burst of footsteps behind him, but Kahn didn't answer, but turned to look in the direction of the gate.

Chapter 457

"Boy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, do you only know who you are talking to?"

There was a roar from inside the gate, which shocked Shen.

"This voice..."

This familiar voice made him unable to keep calm any longer, he ran following the voice, walked past Jie without defense, and rushed towards the hall illuminated by the faint light.

And Jie didn't attack him, and silently slowed down and walked behind, as if he wanted to prolong the arrival time.But the road from the tunnel to the gate is so short, and it will always be finished.

The scene he least wanted to see could not be avoided after all.

When Jie entered the main hall, what he saw was silent silence, Shen had already taken off his hood, and looked at the old man on the throne in disbelief.

He closed the door gently, retreated into the darkness silently, and pressed his right hand on his mask in silence.

"Father? I thought you...no...why you lived...and never told me..."

The speaker was Shen, and his presence successfully drew the old man's gaze from Karn to him.But the old man looked at him without any tenderness and kindness, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

It's not much better than the cold eyes when looking at Kahn.

"Shen." The old man called out Shen's name earnestly.

Just as Shen never expected to see his father who died in the rebellion here, Master Ku Shuo never expected his son to find his hiding place today.It was all too sudden, no one was ready, not all of Ionia was ready.

Ku said that there are many plans that have not been implemented in time, and Shen should not appear here, which will disrupt his plans.

"Shen, my son, I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark. When I finish telling the truth, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts." Ku Shuo walked up to the stone steps with his hands behind his back, but didn't come down.Shen listened attentively and obeyed his father's words.

"When the incident happened, you were on a mission outside. When Jie brought his followers back to the temple, he didn't want to launch a rebellion, but just wanted to snatch the black box."

"I wanted to persuade him to abandon the shadow and return to the way of balance. But Ionia needs people to stand up against the invaders, and people need the protection of these fighters. I can't provide Zed with any help, let alone hand over the black box to He, the creed of balance has framed me tightly, and I can't make any changes."

What kind of changes the war will bring to the balance of the two worlds, the Balance Sect has never experienced it, and they don’t know how to deal with it. They can only blindly follow the commandments of Balance and take no action for the time being.

"I feel powerless with the status quo, and Jie also understands my difficulties, so I proposed a plan to cheat death by breaking the back. After making a painful choice, I agreed to split the balance in two. In this way, the balance It can maintain the original state, maintain the pure goal of pursuing balance, and avoid destroying the inheritance of many years... At the same time, it can also establish a shadow stream, use the power of forbidden arts to fight against foreign enemies without being bound by precepts, and kill two birds with one stone."

Ku Shuo turned his back, Shen Ye turned to look at Jie behind him, the two looked at each other, silent.

Kahn quietly approached the black box, but Ku Shuo was always on guard against them, locking their position from the corner of his eye.

He continued with a cold face: "After the feigned death, I have been hiding behind the scenes, secretly manipulating the Navoli Brotherhood to plunder wealth, establish the Kashuli Arsenal, and fully produce firearms to improve Ionia's military strength, while controlling The trade routes for foreign weapons quickly brought an end to this war. All I have done is to lead our country to stability—”

When the bitterness came to the point of excitement, he raised his hands excitedly. He made a mistake and said the wrong concept...Ionia is not considered a country, but Shen didn't think so much, and was trying to digest the bitterness. The soup he poured down.

Everything made sense, why the bandits of the Brotherhood would rob houses everywhere, why there was a non-governmental organization with such strong financial resources to buy technology and establish the Kashuli arsenal... everything was explained.

Shen's hands trembled, and if he only looked at the result, the painstaking efforts that he said were useful. The timely end of the war avoided a more serious major imbalance.However, no matter how he persuaded himself, Ku Shuo's actions were all stirring up the balance, and none of them were done in accordance with the sect's precepts.

"Shen, I have noticed your hard work these years, and you have always abided by my teachings. I am very pleased that you can preserve the balance well, and I am always waiting for the day when you will restore the balance."

Ku said that Shen Shen was not given time to think carefully, he turned and walked down the steps, opened his arms as if to hug, his demeanor was like a loving father, wanting to give his poor child a big hug.

"Shen, don't believe his high-sounding excuses. Don't forget about Kunlong's matter, those are all his ideas, he has been controlled by the black box, and he is no longer the father you respect and love!"

Kahn yelled, but he couldn't stop Shen, or a short-lived cooperative relationship was completely inferior to the teachings of being a teacher and a father for many years.

He leaned towards Ku Shuo blankly, opened his arms defenselessly, hugged him, and wept bitterly.

It was too late for Kahn to stop, a black tattoo was exposed on Master Kushuo's cuff, and a Shadow Hidden Blade was formed in his hand, stabbing into Shen's abdomen without any hesitation.

"Uh——" Shen groaned in pain, and collapsed powerlessly into his father's arms, staring at the old face in disbelief.

"Sorry, my son. I must do whatever it takes to ensure Ionia's victory. The harmony of the spirit is nothing compared to the unity of the nation."

The bitter expression returned to that cold expression. He apologized without any guilt or mercy, as if he was making a choice that did not need to be weighed at all, as if family affection was just a piece of cake before his family and country. A stumbling block to be kicked away.

Insignificant.

The dying Shen reluctantly picked Ku Shuo's neckline, revealing another black tattoo on his chest, Shen finally showed a clear expression, but it was too late.

He was gently placed in front of the steps by Kushuo, while Jie at the door lowered his head and closed his eyes and sighed deeply, as if silently mourning for his brother who was about to die.

"I didn't want to do anything to my only son." Ku said that he didn't bother to cover up the collar that had been ripped off, revealing the black tattoo on his neck, so he turned to face the two of Kahn with a cold gaze. .

"It's all your fault for bringing him here. You'd better be prepared to suffer death. Shen's death...you will pay for it."

Chapter 458 Embracing the Shadow

Kahn looked at Shen who was lying on the ground, and through the void vision, he could see that the color of life on him was gradually weakening.

If he rushed over at this time and implanted the power of the void into Shen's body, it might be possible to save him.

Regardless of the benefits that saving Shen can bring to him, Ku Shuo and Jie are watching them covetously, splitting the skin armor at such a time would be too much of a burden.

But at this moment, an abnormal phenomenon in Shen's body firmly attracted his attention—for some reason, after Shen's vitality weakened to a certain level, the speed of the weakening slowed down significantly.

Is this dying?What is he waiting for?

"You are not ashamed! I have finished all the good things for you!"

When he came back to his senses, he heard Kaisha angrily reprimanding Ku, and Kahn finally heard what Ku said.He spat secretly, and with his backhand, a lightning bolt went over to test his details.

Scorching lightning tore through the air, and a puff of black smoke emerged from Kushuo's sleeve, turning into a shadow to protect him.

The brightest and darkest collided with each other. The two should cancel each other out, but Kahn's lightning bolt contained the power of the void. Even if it was resisted by the shadow, the aftermath of the explosion still tore Kushuo's robe.

His haggard face was as cold as ice, his white hair was disheveled, and a brown age spot on his old forehead was particularly conspicuous.

Ku said that he didn't suffer any substantial damage, but he failed in the first fight, which made him feel ashamed.

"Arrogant junior, I will forge your souls into weapons, and you will be tortured forever!"

He tore off his tattered robe, revealing his muscular upper body.Black tattoos are all over his body, on his neck, arms, chest and back... The ink-colored lines even extend below the belt, and he doesn't know how much is hidden in the lower body.

These tattoos squirm, they are alive and conscious, and they may even make sounds that only the wearer can hear.

Ku Shuo walked up the steps quickly, and Kai'Sa's Icacia Rainstorm also shot out.

Just now Ku said that she was too close to Shen, and Kaisha pressed her cheeks to leave a whole body for Shen. Now Ku said that she walked away alone, she no longer suppressed her anger, and all of them burst into flames. Plasma spurts out.

The hovering missiles came crashing down, Kushuo turned into black smoke and shuttled forward, and the stone steps behind him shattered and collapsed under the continuous bombing.

He reached out to grab the black box filled with black air, but he was not the only one who wanted to get the black box.

Kahn chased him from behind, far faster than him.

Ku said that he wanted to push Kahn away, but Kahn also had the same idea. The shadow hand and sharp claws stretched towards each other, but they were avoided by each other with shadow escape and blur.

The hands of the two touched the black box at the same time. They fought fiercely, holding the black box with one hand to prevent it from being snatched by the opponent;

Relying on the strength of his skin and armor, Kahn resisted and said a stab through the heart, snatching the black box from his hand.And how could Ku Shuo be willing to give up the black box, the shadow hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the black box.

pat!

With a crisp chiming sound, the black box was opened—Master Kushuo's shadow hand failed to snatch the black box back from Kahn's hand, but just grabbed the gap and opened the lid.

A mass of thick ink-like liquid splashed out, extremely deep and dark, as if a layer of darkness had been covered in the sky.

Both of them were soaked through, and Kahn instantly felt that something was trying to get under his skin, a shadow wanted to wrap his mind, instill in him contempt for the weak, and to him Hinting at an ancient dark magic.

But it was only for a moment, after being invaded by the black ink, the Void Skin Armor activated its instincts, devouring the black ink frantically, swearing its own sovereignty, like an unreasonable hungry demon.

These black inks were conscious, they were afraid of the skin armor, they dripped to the ground along the sharp protrusions of the skin armor, gathered into a ball and flowed towards Ku Shuo's feet.

Seeing this, Ku Shuo couldn't stop laughing wildly, let go of his body and let the ink penetrate into his skin and pour into his nose.The ink seemed to be boiling, rolling violently around his body, gradually drowning out his laughter.

Kahn stretched out the mantis knife and pierced the ink ball, but he didn't feel any blockage, as if his body had already melted into the ink ball.

He could only keep stirring, imagining inserting chopsticks into the egg and breaking the egg yolk, so as to prevent the changes in Ku Shuo's body.

But it doesn't seem to work.

Gulu...gulu...gulu, that was the sound of Kushuo swallowing ink.Kahn is also devouring the ink on the outside, competing with the bitterness inside for energy.

But there are too many shadow essences accumulated in the black box. Kunlong in several regions has been converting natural magic into shadow magic day and night, accumulating in this small box, and spilling them all at once. No matter how you absorb it, you can't stop Kushuo from becoming stronger.

"Embrace the darkness!"

Bang!

As the ink ball exploded, Kahn was sent flying and rolled down the steps.

Kaisha helped him up, and the two looked at the top of the throne together, bitterly saying that he had become the incarnation of shadow—he was suspended in mid-air and laughed wildly, his whole body was as black as ink, and there were many thick ink growths on his back. Spider legs, each leg is attached to a sharp sword with a hook, and there are countless ink droplets floating beside it.

Ku Shuo looked at the two of them condescendingly, his eyes had been blinded by shadows, and his dark and empty eyes seemed to be filled with endless darkness.

The laughter stopped abruptly, Ku Shuo suddenly opened his mouth in an extremely exaggerated arc, and spit out a large amount of thick ink between the two of them.

Kahn and Kai'Sa dodged, and the ink column bombarded the ground, like a heavy hammer falling, blasting the ground into deep pits, and each piece of flying gravel was as big as a head.

"Jie! Did I teach you how to watch a play?!"

Following Ku Shuo's drinking, Jie, who had been watching from the sidelines, also threw himself into the battle.Ku Shuo waved Kai'Sa to Zed to deal with it, and went to trouble Kahn himself.

He had watched the battle in the tunnel earlier, and those Shadow Stream disciples were his tools to test out the details of the two of them.Ku said very clearly that Kahn and Kai'Sa cannot complement each other, otherwise he will face an almost unbeatable opponent.

He floated forward, and with a big wave of his hand, his limbs made of thick ink stretched suddenly, poking towards Kahn's position.

Kahn jumped back, his feet exploded again, the black touch penetrated deeply into the ground, and the broken rocks flew away.This jump was right in his heart, and Kahn, who was jumping in the air, couldn't dodge, and was hit in the chest by another pitch-black pillar he threw out, and hit the wall heavily.

The dark touch formed by the thick ink was stronger than the black smoke, the heavy pressure seemed to crush his chest, and the pain distorted his expression.Kahn held his breath, and just opened his eyes when another black touch hit his face.

Chapter 459 Broken Throne

Bang!

Heizhi slammed his head and face on Kahn's face, smashing his head deep into the wall, and there was no movement at once.

"Karn?" Kaisha on the other side noticed the situation and eagerly called his name.

Just as she was about to rush over to save him, Jie jumped in front of her from behind, blocking her way.Kai'Sa angrily struck out the fist blade, but Zed turned into a black shadow and split apart, and moved to other places to form several shadow clones.

They approached from all directions, their arms flashing with sharp cold light.Kai'Sa's Icacia torrential rain locked all the shadows, and also wrapped Zed's body.

She knew that Zed could instantly swap with any shadow, and every shadow was as dangerous as the main body.

Facing the menacing missiles, Zed and his avatar moved their hands behind their backs at the same time, throwing darts one after another, intercepting the hovering and falling plasma bombs from midair.

After the successive explosions, Kai'Sa had to face a lot of shadow clones, and even got closer under the cover of the explosion.Arm blades and hidden weapons stabbed at her from all directions, and she could only escape into the void in a hurry. Only by getting into the cracks of the world could she get rid of this difficult enemy and go to Kahn's side.

In the cracks, everything I saw became hazy.
