Estranged

"Is there a third option?"

Hearing his question, the princess smiled slightly.

"In your heart, Zhou Ke or Yun Weisi, no matter which apprentice is insignificant, is it?"

Chang Ming also smiled: "I don't like others to lead me by the nose. Even if you give me the answer, I may not believe it. This choice is meaningless."

The princess said, "Then what do you want to ask?"

Chang Ming: "How can you be sure that Wanjian Xianzong will sincerely cooperate with you and not betray you?"

The princess didn't seem to expect that he would ask this question, so she was silent for a moment.

"I can't answer this question. You can only find the answer by yourself."

Chang Ming: "Is Jiang Li, the suzerain of the Wanjian Immortal Sect, already possessed by demons?"

Princess: "No. He is the smartest person I have ever met, who can't see the depth. It's a pity that you let his plan change in his life, otherwise, we would have already accomplished it by now."

Chang Ming shook his head: "No. In terms of intelligence, Jiang Liyuan is not as good as his master Luomei."

Throughout the ages, there have been monks who have pursued immortality and achieved enlightenment. Unfortunately, there are very few people who can finally break through the barrier of life and death. Not to mention the ones who are far away, the ones who are close are just a falling plum. It is precisely because of the falling plum that Wanjian Xianzong Become a top sect.

"Him? I've heard of it."

The princess let out an ah, her expression seemed surprised and subtle, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Chang Ming tried to find some clues from the change in her expression, but failed.

The princess's strength and cultivation base are higher than those of the monsters Chang Ming has seen before, and her status must be higher.

Naturally, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Chang Ming said: "Whether it's a human or a monster, there is not much difference in essence except for the way of survival, and they will not do things that harm others and benefit themselves."

The princess nodded: "Indeed."

Chang Ming: "Cooperating with you, we will finally get a world where humans and demons are not separated, and evildoers are confused. What good will it do for Jiang Li and the Wanjian Immortal Sect?"

In the human world, the status of Wanjian Immortal Sect is high enough, and everyone who sees it respects and bows their heads. If it is said that it is only for fame and fortune, Jiang Li does not need to do these things at all. Under the right circumstances, the cultivation handbook he wrote would eventually achieve a positive result one day, but he chose to collude with demons and began to lay out the thread from decades ago, with far-reaching thoughts.

"This is the second question. I promised to answer only one, and I have already answered it. You have committed a foul."

When the princess spoke, she moved towards him.

The distance between the two is not far, but it seems like thousands of mountains and rivers, black lotuses grow under the feet, but the princess can't get close to Chang Ming's body.

This was an enchantment she had deliberately set up here, but she never expected that the other party had already tampered with it during the gap between her words.

The princess was surprised: "Jiang Li told me that you are an opponent not to be underestimated. I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it a little bit."

There was no anger in her tone, only appreciation, as if Chang Ming was evenly matched, but it was more fun for her.

As for the other people, Feng Suhuai Kuhe and others, and the empress dowager of Luo Kingdom, the envoys of You Kingdom, are not in her eyes.

For a person standing on the top of a mountain, looking at other people is like ants.

If it is said that Chang Ming was only halfway up the mountain halfway up the mountain, and the princess looked at him with half-eyed eyes, now he has really caught her eyes.

With a wave of the sleeves of the princess's robe, black flames rolled up all over the sky, silently and silently, as if lingering in love, hooking endlessly.

But such a gentle and quiet black flame can devour everything and distort and destroy everything it sees.

Magnificent and extreme, this is the power of demons.

For them, the human world is not an existence that needs to be maintained, but a sweet prey.

Treating the prey with care is just to make the hunting process more exciting. It is the hunter's nature to eat the prey when it reaches his mouth.

When the princess found out that her black flame couldn't break through the barrier built by Changming, she didn't feel frustrated, but was even more interested.

When the prey fights back, it always makes the hunt more exciting.

It's like an independent world that has been cut off.

She can see Chang Ming, and Chang Ming can see her.

Other than that, no one else.

But she still couldn't get close to Chang Ming. No matter how she walked or what spells she used, she was still trapped in the same place.

She was able to temporarily set up a formation in her enchantment.

"How do you do it?" she asked.

"When you were talking nonsense with me." Chang Ming said.

When the princess asked him to choose one of the two, he knew that the princess didn't want to kill himself.

Even if the other party behaved aggressively, if he wanted his life, he would have made a move without saying a word.

Chang Ming found it interesting that the other party didn't want to take his life immediately. How could she be sure that the situation would always be in her own hands?

The black flame burns the invisible barrier, and spreads towards Changming little by little. The tongue of flame suddenly sprang up to lick, and suddenly lowered its head and lingered, making the enemy unknowingly let go of their guard in the silent place.

But the princess found that the opponent's vigilance was not relaxed in the slightest, the barrier was almost flawless, and even she couldn't see any flaws for a while.

Since I can't see...

She smiled slightly and raised her sleeves!

The darkness around him suddenly shattered, the sky suddenly appeared, the surroundings were bright, the sky fire fell from the top of the head, and the midair turned into fireballs, smashing deep pits on the ground. Everyone in the Luo Kingdom Palace screamed and fled.

At the same time, Chang Ming heard the voice of the princess.

"I only wanted to kill you, but you forced me to kill them as well. Jiufang Changming, you wanted to save them, but ended up killing them. How are you at ease?"

Chang Ming didn't take this mind-attacking technique seriously.

"When the princess said this, did she forget the cornucopia made from the bones of your clan in the Langhuan Pagoda?"

When he pointed out his intentions straight to the point, the other party laughed like a bell, and didn't say anything more, but just kept dropping fire from the sky, burning the people and things around Chang Ming.

The sea of ​​fire blazed, scorching around Chang Ming, and the sound of wailing and screaming continued to come.

But Chang Ming discovered that her sky fire could not fall outside the palace.

In other words, although the princess is very strong, she may not have fully integrated with this body.

Her right eye was weeping, full of anger and sorrow, her left eye was indifferent, as if hiding the hardest heart in the world.

Chang Ming pointed to the sword and slowly formed seals.

The princess smiled when she saw his movements, and said softly: "I don't want to kill you, so why do you struggle? You are calm on the face, but in reality you are at the end of your strength, struggling to hold on, it is better to let go of everything and follow me. Appreciating you like this, I will treat you well."

She really didn't want to kill Chang Ming, because the other party's tenacity and cultivation would surely make him a unique soul-gathering bead alone. She was even reluctant to hand it over to Jiang Li to set up a formation for such a soul-gathering bead. She just wanted to wear it on the On his own neck, this is the strongest love of monsters.

Fascinating, extreme, and chilling.

Suddenly the light shines brightly in front of Chang Ming!

The Sifei sword hovered in mid-air, split into three parts, followed by the formation of his handprints, and shot away quickly.

The princess also shot.

The black flame swept up the sword light, white and black were entangled in an instant, and it was impossible to tell the outcome for a while.

But the princess has discovered Chang Ming's weakness!

The one who stood in front of her and sealed Yujian was just a paper puppet, and the real Jiufang Changming was hidden behind the puppet to the right!

The princess smiled, and Hei Yan rushed towards the puppet. She pretended to be tricked, but she had quietly surrounded the real Jiufang Changming.

Between life and death, it is nothing more than an ever-changing choice.

After all, she still didn't take Chang Ming seriously.

This person might have been able to fight her fifty years ago, but now, he can only delay time by relying on the technique of transforming objects into gods.

A bit of cold light came from behind her, and it reached her back in the blink of an eye!

The sword light of Chunchao Sword is extremely dazzling in the black flame, without fear of any spiritual barrier.

It is the sea of ​​clouds.

The black flame was split in two and rushed to both sides.

The princess narrowed her eyes, turned into a double body, and disappeared in place.

The Chunchao sword slashed through the air, and the black flame took advantage of the situation and entangled the Chunchao sword.

One ebbs and the other ebbs and flows, changing in an instant.

When the sky fire fell, Ku He and others hurriedly built spiritual power to block it, and placed the Empress Dowager, Emperor and others in a safe place.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was pale, not just because of fright.

She thought of the disaster caused by the sky fire, which could easily be regarded as ominous, and Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to make trouble.

Fortunately, King Hui had revealed his true colors today and was subdued on the spot, otherwise it would be another catastrophe in the future.

The faces of Ku He, Xie Chunxi and others were not much better than hers.

They are waiting for the result of Changming and Princess Zhaoyue.

Fortunately, the princess's attention was on Chang Ming, which gave them a chance to breathe.

But both are now gone before their eyes.

Naturally, the princess will not really disappear. Hei Yan is her, she is Hei Yan, and the two have long been integrated.

Si Feijian couldn't find the target, and the blade trembled slightly, as if a little restless.

It is waiting for the master's command.

But the master seemed to have disappeared completely, without a trace or breath.

The black flame is getting stronger and stronger, and the sword energy is getting stronger, and it is about to explode.

Suddenly, the black flowing ground fell into water droplets, causing ripples to be pushed away layer by layer.

It wasn't water droplets, it was blood, the blood on Chang Ming's body.

Just before the confrontation, Chang Ming was already injured, and he couldn't hide it now.

Like a wild beast that smelled the fragrance, the black flames rolled from all directions in an instant, following the ripples to draw a human figure around the body, and then gradually tightened, swallowing bit by bit.

The princess exposed half of her body in the black flames, smiled slightly, and blocked the Sifei Sword and Chunchao Sword flying from both sides with her hands.

The palm was facing the tip of the sword, but the latter was still unable to go any further.

At this time, the black flame that wrapped the human figure exploded suddenly, and suddenly turned around and rolled towards the princess!

With a thought, the princess distracted herself to control Hei Yan, and the two sword lights broke through the bottleneck and stabbed at her body at the same time!

Ku He thought, even if the senior brother who is not bitter is here today, it may be difficult to be kind.

Who would have thought that the weak Princess Zhaoyue was the real culprit behind the scenes.

The sky fire has stopped falling, which means that Princess Zhaoyue is out of skills and has no time to deal with them for the time being. But when Ku He raised her head, she could only see that the sky was on fire and was occupied by red clouds. It was as dark red as blood, as if blood rain could fall from the clouds at any time.

There is a faint fishy smell floating in the air, which makes people restless.

In front of them, a few wisps of black flames floated over and quickly condensed into a ball. Xie Chunxi and others quickly put on a defensive posture, blocking the Queen Mother Song Nanyan and others behind them.

The black flame gradually formed a black cloud in the center of the garden, and the black cloud quickly expanded into a whirlpool.

Ku He could even feel the suction force emanating from the vortex, as if it was going to **** them all in, so she hurriedly put the Zen stick in front of her body, full of vigilance.

At this moment, a hand stretched out from the whirlpool.

Not fair, but slender and strong, it is not a woman's hand at first glance.

Chang Ming walked out of the vortex, reached in again, and lifted one person out.

It was actually Princess Zhaoyue.

The princess was thrown on the ground, dying, and she was only coquettish when she never recovered.

The last thing that came out was the sea of ​​clouds.

He turned around and waved his hand, and the vortex disappeared.

Both Chang Ming and Yun Hai looked unhappy, the former looked even more gloomy, with some blood stains at the corner of his mouth, probably from being injured.

But with Princess Zhaoyue's strength, Ku He thought to himself, not to mention being injured, his life would still be a matter of life or death.

Yue Chengbo was the most impulsive, and immediately stepped forward to attack Princess Yue, but was stopped by Chang Ming.

"Hand over the emperor's living soul." Chang Ming said.

Everyone was taken aback.

Princess Zhaoyue smiled lowly, but did not answer. She raised her head, her left eye was filled with black flames, but her body was locked by spiritual power just now, and she couldn't move for the time being. Once she broke free from the restraint, she would immediately counterattack.

Chang Ming didn't press any more questions, he shot directly and poked the princess' right eyeball.

Everyone heard a scream, and the white light followed Chang Ming's hand, and was firmly held in the palm of his hand, one light and one deep, and the two lights flowed into **** in his hand, inseparable.

Chang Ming frowned.

The queen mother stepped forward tremblingly.

"Is this, my son's living soul?"

"It's not just him." Chang Ming said.

The Queen Mother didn't know what she meant, but Ku He continued: "There is also the living soul of Princess Zhaoyue."

The living soul of the Son of Heaven has been in the body of Princess Zhaoyue for a long time, and the two have long been mixed together and are inseparable. Now Changming took advantage of the weakness of the demon to forcefully bring out the soul of the Emperor, and at the same time, took the soul of the real princess together. and brought out.

Ku He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not understand, and explained again: "Now if you want your majesty's soul to return to your body, I'm afraid you have to let the princess's soul temporarily enter your majesty's body."

"Isn't that..." The queen mother was dumbfounded, she wanted to say androgynous, but felt wrong.

The emperor's body is still the same body, but inside it becomes the soul of two people. He himself and Princess Zhaoyue will share one body.

In the past, the Empress Dowager also heard folk anecdotes about resurrecting the soul from a dead body, and so on, but she never thought that the emperor would have such an experience.

Chang Ming was about to hand over this ball of soul light to Ku He, but Princess Zhaoyue suddenly changed.

The black flame ignited, enveloping her, and exploding all the spiritual power that locked her. Everyone was caught off guard and rushed back a few steps.

The princess turned into a black flame, and then disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only one sentence.

"Nine directions are always bright, and there will be a period later."

Everyone was still in shock and hadn't recovered.

Changming and Yunhai looked at each other without speaking.

Ku He and the others may not have reached that level of cultivation, so they didn't notice it, but when Chang Ming fought her just now, they found that the opponent's cultivation level was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much he tried, it seemed that there was no end.

If it hadn't been him and Yunhai joining forces just now, but only one of them, even if Chang Ming's cultivation had returned to the peak state fifty years ago, he would not be sure of victory.

Normally, he would be very happy to have such an elusive and powerful opponent, but he doesn't like being led away as a pawn.

Wanting to do something yourself is completely different from being led by the nose to do it.

After the sky fire passed, the imperial garden was full of flames. Although most of them were extinguished, there were broken flowers and branches everywhere, and the injured palace servants limped past. .

The Empress Dowager ordered people to detain the envoys of You Kingdom and King Hui for the time being, and sent people to go out of the palace to check the situation outside the palace. If the fire from the sky spread to all parts of the city, they would send people to put out the fire and provide relief.

On the other end, someone brought the sluggish emperor over, Ku He let go of his hand, the soul light fell on the emperor's head, and slowly entered his body.

After a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone watched with bated breath.
