Arknights is too real, right?

Some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated. As people grow up, this ratio will also change subtly.

But for Xia Feng, no matter how things change, some things will never change.

Just like during the natural disaster in Mandel City, he would ask Turtle to protect the unconscious Ifrit. In the bar in Bra City, Colombia, he would make a big move with the Red Knife who was still affiliated with [Hesse] at that time.

When he was in Longmen, he would not let Shuangxing return to Ursus alone.

After Victoria is completely liberated, he will not let Frey live a good life in the East Kingdom.

When the assassination of the Sakurawu family was completed, even if he faced the risk of being exposed, he would let Sakurawu Qianye, who was held hostage by him at the time, leave.

There is no precise rationale for these choices, or even a clear logical connection to each other.

From the perspective of hindsight, some choices are correct, and some choices are extremely stupid, but if you have to ask him why he made such a choice, he can only answer this way.

Precisely because he can make these choices, he is Xia Feng.

No matter how the people around him change, even if the world is changing, he will not change.

On the horizon, the clouds left by the storm gradually dissipated, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire south coast golden.

In the courtyard, seeing Xia Feng seeming to be a completely different person, Ying Wulan was stunned for a moment, and then her smile grew stronger.

"Not bad, not bad, that's it. I'm finally going to use my full strength, hahaha."

Xia Feng lowered his head and gradually clenched his fists.

"I'll give you one last chance. Leave my yard and don't appear in front of me from now on. I can pretend that what happened today didn't happen."

Sakura Wulan did not take this sentence as a threat at all, but turned against the guest.

"In this case, I will give you one last chance. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will kill that little girl in front of you."

After saying that, Sakura Wulan raised the Sakura sword.

"You should know that it only takes less than a second for me to kill someone."

An invisible coercion quietly emerged with Xia Feng as the center, and the wind stopped.

Looking up, Xia Feng's voice became very hollow for some reason. The volume was not loud, but it seemed to surround Ying Wulan's heart.

"You can try it and see which one of your seconds is faster or mine which is harder."

Under the dual stimulation of the severe pain in the chest and the emotion, the black power that was once sealed by the Styx is ready to move. It only takes a few thoughts to break free from the shackles.

At this moment, Ying Wulan's smiling expression suddenly froze.

Looking directly into Xia Feng's only eye, he seemed to see a flame rising quietly from the dark pupil.

"Plop!"

At this moment, all the resting birds in the cherry blossom forest spread their wings at the same time, as if they had foreseen a huge natural disaster, and the birds and beasts in the forest fled in all directions.

It was clearly dusk at this time, but in Sakura Wulan's eyes, it seemed as if the whole world had turned into darkness.

The summer wind in front of me has merged with the night.

At this moment, he felt that he was not facing a person, but a demon that was about to break free from the shackles of the earth and be born from the darkness.

Panicked birds flew over the sky, and the extremely cold voice of Xia Feng continued to be heard.

"If defeating me is your goal in life, then I will let you understand that your belief that you are willing to sacrifice everything for it is a joke in my eyes."

The extreme anger in his heart is about to completely defeat his reason. As long as he draws out the black power, he will tear Sakura Wulan into pieces in an instant at any cost.

After saying that, Xia Feng took a step forward.

The energy of the Source Stone that Shenyue Sword had absorbed still remained, which was enough to support him in breaking out of the Styx's seal.

As long as the Source Stone energy merges into his body, everything will be over.

This day is not only the end of Ying Wulan's life, but also the end of his life.

Facing Xia Feng's terrifying changes, Ying Wulan immediately reacted from surprise. Yes, this powerful sense of oppression that suffocated him was what he had been looking for.

Adjusting his breathing, Sakura Wu Lan clenched the Sakura Knife with both hands, planning to use his true skills after a long absence.

However, some things can never be dealt with based on previous experience.

As Xia Feng took a small step forward, countless illusory tentacles seemed to appear in the earth, locking his legs tightly.

Ying Wulan's eyes widened in shock at this strange change, but before he could react, Xia Feng's farewell message had already reached his ears.

"Goodbye, Sword God."

This was the first time in Yingwulan's life that he had panicked. At this moment, his judgment showed serious hesitation.

He didn't know whether to break free from the illusory hands that restrained him first, or to stand there honestly, resisting Xia Feng's figure that would obviously rush in front of him in the next second.

The swordsmanship of the Sakura Warriors is based on the heart. Once the heart is confused during the battle, the opponent will definitely lose.

The human soul can never be compared with the devil. The fear from the depths of the soul made Sakura Wulan subconsciously have the idea of ​​retreating.

Even though this was the opponent he had been pursuing, he could not control his cowardice at this moment.

When he bit the tip of his tongue to force away the fear and raised the Sakura Knife again, he had already missed it by a hair or a thousand miles.

The birds and beasts in the forest had already sensed the danger and began to flee for their lives. As an ordinary person, Xiao Hui was naturally so frightened that her legs became weak and she sat on the ground unable to move.

At this moment, a thin figure suddenly jumped out from the depths of the cherry blossom forest, ignoring the pressure that made the air freeze, and rushed straight into the yard.

The man held a wooden sword in his hand. After approaching, the blade hit Sakura Wulan's wrist steadily.

"Bata!"

The sharp cherry blossom knife was thrown away by him and fell to the side.

The person who arrived just in time was none other than Juyoro Sakurabu, who lived in seclusion deep in the cherry blossom forest, and was also the grandfather of Sakurabu Arashi.

With his old body standing between the two of them, Juyorozu Sakurabu changed his usual kindness and his voice became very deep.

He looked at Xia Feng solemnly.

"Don't continue. Give me a face, old man. That's it for today."

After saying that, he turned around and yelled at Ying Wulan in a scolding tone.

"Alan, pick up your knife and get out of here!"

When Sakurabu Arashi was twenty-five years old, he defeated his grandfather Sakuratake Juyorozu. As the years passed, one thing faded away and the other grew stronger. The age gap made him stronger and stronger than his grandfather.

Normally, he would never be disarmed by a wooden sword. It was obvious that he was really panicked at this moment.

"grandfather."

"Alan, you have already lost."

Ying Wulan's expression was a little dazed, and he murmured.

"I lost?"

As if unable to accept this fact, nor recognizing this fact, the next second, Ying Wulan's eyes flashed with excitement, as if an adventurer had found a legendary treasure.

"No, I didn't lose."

A twisted smile gradually emerged from the corner of Ying Wulan's mouth.

"I didn't lose, because I'm still alive, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, this showdown has just begun."
