Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

There was silence.

Because of the vibration just now, all the surrounding source energy equipment was temporarily shut down.

All light sources were extinguished, and the inside and outside of the Earl's Mansion fell into darkness. Nothing could be seen in the door, only dark shadows.

In the courtyard, Earl Ayvind stood up, his body trembling slightly, his wide brown eyes locked on the backyard door.

The ears of this tall, muscular man who had been on the battlefield twitched slightly, absorbing all the sounds. My throat rolled, but my dry mouth swallowed nothing.

Footsteps are approaching.

It was extremely heavy, as if wearing heavy armor. The solid wood floor creaked and screamed under the weight of the sound, gradually approaching the door.

"who is it!"

He asked sharply: "Konoe? Konoe!"

The Earl called for his personal bodyguard.

But there was no answer.

Snap.

Suddenly, a dark, bloody shadow was thrown out of the shadows and landed on the ground in the courtyard, stirring up a cloud of dust and blood.

Blood spattered on the Earl's boots, which normally would have made Earl Ayvind furious and chop off the heads of one or two unlucky maids or servants.

But now, after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but take a step back and said in a voiceless voice: "Knight Lola?!"

It was a bloody, beaten human figure that was dying.

The armor he was wearing had a dent in the middle of his chest, and a clear and conspicuous fist shadow was imprinted on the center of the source-forged steel armor. There were cracks spreading along the path of the fist mark in all directions.

"Your Majesty the Earl..."

On the ground, the human figure struggled to open its swollen eyes. When he saw Count Ayvind, he struggled to speak and spit out a mouthful of blood: "Quickly, run away...I, he...is strong..."

But the earl he spoke of did not focus on him.

Earl Ayvind looked at the shadow behind the door again.

In the shadows, a white-haired figure was slowly walking out. He was covered in blood. He then tore off his blood-soaked coat and threw it aside.

Although his hands were covered with blood and his face was covered with splashes of blood, Su Zhou stood at the gate of the Earl's Mansion courtyard with a calm expression and looked around at the pleasant scenery, with various rare plants planted, and the air was exceptionally fresh. aristocratic backyard.

"Lola? This knight's original name is this."

"Although this guy has done a lot of evil things, his mind is still innocent - in essence, he just obeys the orders of the 'loyalist' to kill people and do evil. If he were replaced by a better noble as the object of allegiance, Then he might become a good knight."

Su Zhou raised his hand, wiped the splattered meat on his face, and shook his head: "It's a pity it's too late. And I came all the way from the outer city and saw a lot of bad things."

"Polluted air, wastewater from factories, beggars and vagrants in the sewers, knights who oppress the common people."

"The greedy factory owners, the people in the earl's palace who drive vehicles at will and ignore pedestrians; the bones of demonized people, the corpses of a large number of prisoners hanged on the execution platform, and the crimes are unknown..."

As he said this, he stared at Earl Ayvind who seemed to be frozen in place: "I believe you know it yourself."

Shaking away the blood on his fist, Su Zhou smiled and said, "Earl Ayvind."

His eyes seemed to be burning with red flames that could melt gold: "As a leader, you are very incompetent."

Earl Ayvind was covered in cold sweat at this time. He seemed to be completely frightened and did not dare to move.

Walking closer, Su Zhou's eyes were firmly fixed on the dark green-haired nobleman in front of him. His tone was slow and steady: "I have some questions to ask you."

"...If I answer truthfully, can I not die?"

After a moment of silence, the Earl said so.

"no."

The man's voice was calm but determined: "And it will be miserable - just to avoid being soul-searched by me."

At this time, he was only twenty meters away from Earl Ayvind, and the steward and maid beside him were also screaming and running away in the terrifying intimidation.

But Su Zhou didn't care about these ordinary people.

In his eyes, only the one from the perspective of the 'Demon Devouring Lord' was burning pure black, with no trace of other colors. "I just saw a lot of demons in several medical clinics under your name." There are corpses of transformers, and there are more corpses in several warehouses, and most of them are mutilated."

"The souls of those corpses have been stripped away, and the demonized organs have also been cut off... Seriously, Count Ayvind, do you really regard the demonized person as a tool?"

Lord Ayvind made no answer.

In fact, he raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile.

"nonsense."

He mocked: "It's all my property, do you need to take care of it?"

More than a minute has passed since Su Zhou blasted away the gate of the Earl's Mansion.

Even if he is too shocked to react, it is enough for Earl Ayvind to use his backup plan and accumulate strength.

With a click, he crushed the crystal cup in his hand, and the sharp crystal fragments cut open the flesh, causing blood to flow out.

The red symbolizing the essence of life did not drip, but condensed directly into a heraldry-like array in mid-air. It was the heraldry of the Avender family, but it was older and more mysterious.

In an instant, a deep vibration sounded. It was the earl's heartbeat. The violent and heavy heartbeat even seemed to be resonating, causing the heartbeats of the stewards, maids, and Knight Lola on the ground who had not fled far away to gradually synchronize and unify. A look of pain on his face.

The next moment, Count Ayvind raised his right hand, and the original heraldic formation transformed into a bloody sword. Then, he raised his left hand fiercely and bit open the blood vessels of his left wrist, and a dark red blood glowed. stood up, and then turned into a set of full-body armor, covering his whole body.

"I don't know where you came from, but you made me ready!"

At this moment, Earl Ayvind's voice was cold and dull. Covered by the 'blood armor' passed down from his family, he was full of confidence: "Whether you are a rebel soldier in the rebellion or an assassin sent by Earl Mora to assassinate me, the outcome will be the same. Same!"

"That means you'll have your bones and skin removed, and you'll be hung by the door until your flesh and blood dries up!"

The blood-transmitting armor passed down by blood is a high-level source energy skill passed down from generation to generation by the Avender family. It can continuously strengthen with the strength of the user. In its full state, it is said to be able to resist natural disasters.

Even if it is used in the realm of Heart Light, the defense is enough to block the continuous bombardment of ordinary battleship cannons for more than ten minutes.

"The Avender family is not just a lucky bunch from the imperial capital, but a real military family!"

At this time, the earl's body was filled with blood filled with fluctuations of energy, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be able to trigger the flow of blood in the body, making people dizzy.

Behind him, the soul of a black wolf with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth appeared, with gorgeous and ferocious blood armor covering it, and there were vague gears and mechanical structures that replaced the joints of this huge wave, making a deafening sound. The roar.

boom!

No nonsense, relying on the previous communication time, Count Ayvind, who had completely adjusted his condition, stepped out and cracked the ground. His whole body rushed towards Su Zhou like a cannonball.

The air was torn and shattered, but the sharp roar could not catch up with his body.

"Werewolf?"

But Su Zhou just muttered to himself in confusion, and then shook his head: "No, it's also mixed with some devil's blood."

"Forget it, it's all the same."

He raised his hand and took off one of his fingers, making a crisp sound like metal breaking.

At the base of the broken finger, a structure like plant roots emerged entangled and reorganized into the shape of a finger. A layer of metal leaves covered it like skin, quickly turning into a The original skin was the same, with a blood-colored white color.

Facing Earl Ayvind who was speeding towards him at supersonic speed, Su Zhou directly threw his metal fingers hard, and at the end of the fingers, a violent explosion appeared, like a rocket propelled, suddenly erupting The ultimate driving force.

Boom. The bloody armor that originally flew towards him stopped in place, and a large empty hole appeared on his left shoulder, as if he had been hit by an anti-equipment sniper rifle. Both the armor and flesh and bones were all blown away and penetrated. , only a thin layer of skin was left connecting Earl Ayvind's shoulder and left arm.

Blood flowed from the huge wound and instantly soaked the surrounding ground.

After so many days of practice, although Su Zhou has not officially begun to finalize the practice, Su Zhou's 'Yin-Yang Immortal Method' has been cultivated to the level of 'immortal root'.

Just like the Demon General and Demon Emperor in the world of sacred trees in the past, his body is already covered with the roots of the sacred trees. The metalized plant skin is extremely strong, which greatly enhances the flexibility of his body. He can even move himself Things like turning your fingers into high-performance small armor-piercing rockets.

If we go back to the beginning, Su Zhou's current form is even more like the Demon Emperor than the Demon Emperor.

"Huh...ah!"

But such a blow could not kill Earl Ayvind.

Along with the heavy breathing and heartbeat, the blood that was originally spilling in the air and dripping in the soil stopped flowing and soaking. As if they heard the order, they began to go in the opposite direction and converge towards the original wound. .

More than that.

"Ahhhhh!! It hurts!"

"My blood, I..."

Accompanied by two shrill screams, the steward and the maid, who had already run to the corner of the courtyard, squatted on the ground in pain. The former was vomiting, while the latter was grabbing her cheeks as if she was crazy.

But if you look carefully, you can see clearly that what the steward vomited was not filth, but his own internal organs and blood. After the maid scratched her cheek, a stream of blood like a thin spring gushes out from the wound.

Not long after, both of them turned into withered skins and died. The same happened to the knight named Lola who was thrown to the ground by Su Zhou before. He had died quietly just now, and all the blood and source energy in his body had been wiped out. Drain it and turn it into a river of blood, gathering towards Earl Ayvind.

The red mist visible to the naked eye lingered in the courtyard, and in Su Zhou's rather surprised eyes, Earl Ayvind completed regeneration at a speed not inferior to Su Zhou's.

"...so strong..."

The human figure wrapped in blood-colored armor took a step back slightly. He placed the long sword in his hand horizontally in front of him. Earl Ayvind's fearful voice sounded almost like gritting his teeth: "But as long as the flesh people are still there, I will be immortal!"

"Don't underestimate the imperial nobles!"

However, he didn't understand it.

The reason why Su Zhou was surprised was not Earl Ayvind's regeneration speed.

But it was a mass of root-like things that had just been activated in his body and in his heart.

That group of tiny roots enveloped Earl Ayvind's entire heart. It was running violently at the moment, continuously converting the vitality, blood, and even soul it had just absorbed into the life force and source belonging to Earl Ayvind. Can, strengthen his regeneration ability.

"This is……"

He whispered to himself: "The 'Eternal Root' of the World Tree?"

"Why is there such a thing...well, it's not surprising."

After all, this is the world where World Tree and Dusk once fought.

"You can't kill me!" He raised his sword again, this time fully prepared, and Earl Ayvind, who watched Su Zhou warily, once again assumed a poised posture.

Then, there was another rapid charge!

The blood-colored sword light tore through the air, bringing out a sharp edge like a meteor. The airflow it spread could cut through the soil and rock bricks in the courtyard.

"Yeah."

Su Zhou also raised his hand again, his tone indifferent.

This time he raised his palm like a blade.

"I do not believe."

After entering the world of Aian, Su Zhou's strength was indeed limited.

Because it was located in the Twilight World Group, a fragmented world of the Twilight Original World, Su Zhou did not use all his strength in order not to be discovered by the strongest people in this world or the direct family members of Twilight.

But even so, with his original experience, inheritance and knowledge, he was able to exert the power to suppress the Heart Light Realm through physical transformation without breaking through the level of spiritual brilliance in this world.

Earl Ayvind's strength is about as high as in the heart, which is quite good. After all, he is only in his early thirties, and his future will be promising enough to support the title of a great noble. He was resting in the backyard of his home just now, and did not bring his own special weapons and armor, but even so, the count was very powerful, enough to suppress the entire city of Ayvind by himself.

If you add in the weird regeneration ability from before, he can even tangle with four or five of the same level, and he also has the ability to suppress the Heart Light Realm.

But even if Earl Ayvind was fully armed, he would never be able to defeat Su Zhou.

Because practitioners in this world are still fighting with swords and guns, but Su Zhou has already used rockets.

Raising his hand knife, Su Zhou pointed it at Count Ayvind, and then swung it out with all his strength.

The source energy ignited the immortal roots of the sacred wood, evaporated the blood, and exploded with energy far superior to the rocket propulsion fuel on the earth. It sprayed a huge amount of scarlet high-heat gas from the holes in the arms.

The force was enough to send this arm hundreds of thousands of meters into the air, making the hand knife fall easily faster than the sound, splitting the air, and bringing up an invisible and massless vacuum blade of source energy.

The charging Earl instinctively sensed that something was wrong. He turned his body and narrowly avoided the hand knife that could tear the armor of the battleship. The derived energy vacuum blade passed behind him and chopped into pieces. The wall of the backyard of the Lord's Mansion and a whole street behind it.

The man subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had avoided the most terrifying blow.

But the next moment, what happened to Su Zhou's arm made him extremely shocked, and his pupils tightened - although the knife cut into the air, Su Zhou's fingers seemed to have their own consciousness, bending and aiming at his body.

Buzzing, the source energy vibrated and burned, and light-like flames lit up from the roots of these fingers, and then exploded.

Five bullets, or even rocket-like fingers, flew out in the explosion, covering the body of Earl Ayvind, who had already dodged once.

The noble in the blood armor quickly changed the long sword in his hand, turning into a shield in front of him. The five finger rockets were indeed blocked by it and penetrated deep into the shield, but they exploded in the next moment, with violent shock waves and explosions. It resounded throughout the core city and could be heard in the center of Ayvind City for a long time.

Bang! The body flew out, and Count Ayvind's whole body rolled sideways in the courtyard. The armored wolf soul shadow behind him had dissipated, and the blood-colored armor that originally covered his body also squirmed and disintegrated, turning into a pool of blood and soaked in the soil. middle.

"cough……"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was knocked back to his original form and released from the blood armor form. At this time, Count Ayvind's heart was filled with resentment, despair, and incomparable confusion.

The Avender family's blood armor fighting method was gathered from countless battles when the empire opened up the southern frontier. It is the most effective fighting technique in the battle formation. It can devour the enemy's life and use it to replenish itself. It's like a hungry wolf devouring the flesh and blood of its enemies to make itself stronger.

The more enemies there are and the more people you have, the more powerful the blood armor tactics will be.

But now, there is only one enemy, but the guards on his side have been defeated before, and the reinforcements from the distance have not yet arrived.

But the most important thing is not these.

"Why……"

He struggled to stand up from the ground, but Su Zhou, who was walking slowly, stepped on his head and stepped into the mud.

But even so, Count Ayvind still spoke reluctantly, and his tone seemed to feel that this matter was extremely ridiculous: "Why, my 'Spirit Burning Technique' didn't work... How was my regeneration ability deprived?! "

"Obviously...as long as those meat people are still there, I will be immortal...Is this impossible?!"

He roared: "I am immortal!"

"You said you won't die if you don't want to die?"

With an expressionless expression, Su Zhou used his strength to completely crush Earl Ayvind's head into the ground: "Where's the evidence?"

Why is the ability to regenerate taken away? How simple.

Although he didn't know what the so-called "Spirit Burning Technique" was, Su Zhou could completely guess that that technique relied on the "Root of the World Tree" located in the heart of the earl to absorb the vitality of other people and create a new life for him. A secret technique that provides oneself with endless vitality.

The fleshly people he mentioned should refer to all the people in the entire city of Ayvind.

Just now, when Su Zhou entered the Earl's Mansion and spoke to the other party, he noticed that Earl Ayvind seemed to have activated some magic circle. Although the source energy fluctuated slightly, it enveloped the whole city and even penetrated deep into the mobile city. core.

Originally, it was a bit difficult to isolate the influence of this magic circle. After all, Su Zhou's current strength was not strong enough to isolate the entire city.

But the intermediary who asked the other party to perform this secret method was the immortal root of the sacred tree.

And Su Zhou happens to have the energy of the sacred tree given to him by the 'Tree of Great Avenue' himself?

Su Zhou himself is also a sacred tree - the Battleship Divine Tree is also a sacred tree - with his experience, it is easy to cut off the divine tree root induction in Count Ayvind's heart, it is as simple as breathing.

But Su Zhou's heart was not relaxed.

Squatting down, one hand reached out and grabbed the other person's neck. Su Zhou's fingers were so strong that they even scratched Earl Ayvind's skin and flesh, and directly grasped his spine.

Lifting the opponent up by his spine, Su Zhou looked at the Earl whose face was covered with blood, mud and filth. Source energy was spinning in his red eyes.

Then, he began to ‘search for souls’.

The soul of the immortal can forcefully search the soul of a heart-light-level source energy practitioner. The efficiency should not be too high.

In just a few seconds, the light in Su Zhou's eyes dimmed.

He already knew the reasons for many things.

"...I see, it's no wonder that this world is so discriminatory against demonized people, but the lord still allows demonized people to live in the city, and they don't even set up various measures to allow the demonized people to freely spread their numbers..."

"Because the demonizer itself, from body to soul, is the 'fuel' of this world!"

In the world of Aian, the basic condition for controlling source energy is to have a soul.

The extremely dense source energy can only be freely controlled by the soul vibrating and resonating at a certain frequency.

Being able to complete this step is the soul-condensing level.

And all demonized people are at this level from the moment the demonic disease fully attacks.

They can control source energy just like ordinary practitioners, but because each person's talent, manipulation proficiency, and education level are different, they cannot fully exert this power.

The essence is the same.

The most important creation in the world of Aian, the 'giant energy furnace core' that provides energy sources for mobile cities, was created four hundred years ago, and more than a hundred years later, during the reign of Asmodai VII It was improved to what it is today.

The original source energy furnace core can at most drive a fortress, a castle, and a small fortress-level warship to move. No more is possible.

But with the encouragement and improvement of Asmodai VII, the efficiency of the new giant source energy engine and the new source energy furnace core were improved to the point where it can drive half a city.

However, this engine can only be fully driven during the 'blood moon', at least under the moonlight.

Because only during the blood moon, under the illumination of the devil moon, and the source energy is extremely activated, can the brand new source energy engine fully explode with its powerful energy conversion efficiency.

However, the moon doesn’t come around often, especially the blood moon.

How can we activate source energy during the day?

After searching for a long time, a researcher finally found the answer.

The demonic moon catalyzes the demonization disease. The essence is that the activated source energy forcibly catalyzes the soul, but instead interferes with the physical disease and demonization.

In other words, the essence of the soul is the pure product of source energy, the most active manifestation of source energy.

The light released by the burning soul is like the light of the magic moon, which can maximize the efficiency of the source energy furnace heart.

The soul is the heart of the energy furnace that drives mobile cities and is an indispensable additive.

Of course, everyone knows that there are very few people who can cultivate their souls normally. They are the reserves of professionals. Using their souls as catalysts is really wasteful, just like using sandalwood as fuel to keep warm.

In this case, the souls of patients with demonized diseases, which are cheap and can be mass-produced, have become the only source of additives.

Although the efficiency is not as high as normal soul condensation, the number of souls of the demonizer is large!

As long as the Demonic Moon exists, and source energy radiation and interference exist, there will only be more and more patients with demonized diseases.

Moreover, after extracting the soul, the diseased parts of the body of the demonized person are essentially extraordinary materials that can be used to make weapons and equipment, and various spiritual equipment.

Nothing is wasted.

Demonizer, self-increasing fuel... extraordinary material.

Crops and wealth that can walk on their own.

"I see."

Su Zhou let out a long sigh. He squeezed the hand that was holding Earl Ayvind's spine, causing the earl to let out a scream of pain: "Then why do you want to take action against my children? Why have you started to arrest them recently?" Catching demonizers?”

"Obviously, patients with late-stage demonic disease who died naturally are enough to supply the mobile city's energy furnace core. What are you planning to do with this action?"

"Because... the Imperial Capital said that a giant source energy furnace core will be activated..."

The vertebrae were pinched. This feeling was more than just "life being controlled by human hands." The completely collapsed Earl Ayvind almost prayed: "You, you are so powerful, you should know this, right?"

"The Holy Sun is about to extinguish, and our world is about to fall into darkness. If we want to survive... we can only rely on the source energy engine and the even larger source energy furnace heart!"

"The imperial capital is optimizing the design of the source energy furnace core. His Majesty said that he needs a large number of high-quality demonizers as materials and firewood... We, we will send it to him..."

Having said this, Earl Ayvind raised his voice: "We are here to save the world!"

"It's just a matter of burning the demonized person, burning the demonized person's soul..."

He seemed to want to say something else.

However, the only thing left for the Earl is 'click'.

His spine was crushed by Su Zhou, his head fell off, and then he was crushed like a watermelon by another foot.

Lord Ayvind is dead.

"save the world?"

With a sneer, Su Zhou lowered his eyes.

He said calmly: "It's not your turn to come to the rescue."

Su Zhou raised his head and looked at the turbulent urban areas in the distance.

The various demonizers in Ayvind have noticed the instability of the recent period. They are also full of confusion and doubts. They watch their friends and relatives disappear mysteriously, accumulating anger and hatred, waiting for the opportunity to vent.

The appearance of Su Zhou broke the balance, causing the originally infallible defenders of Ayvind City to panic, and the frontline command completely collapsed. Therefore, the demonizers who saw the opportunity turned into primitive rioters and began to attack other upper city areas, and even in the core city.

"I understand the reason for the demonizer."

Su Zhou took a step forward and stood on the wall of the Earl's Mansion courtyard, overlooking everything: "But there are more and more doubts - what is the soul-burning technique? And why does he have the immortal roots of the World Tree?"

"The nobles of this world regard ordinary people as flesh and blood who can recharge their lives... When did this situation begin?"

Thinking about all this, Su Zhou shook his head.

He was about to leave and return to the Chuyao research ship to chat with Sui Guang, Ming Xiao and others about issues related to this area to see if there was any new information.

But just when Su Zhou was about to leave, he noticed that a dim light appeared on Count Ayvind's body.

"Evil spirit?" Su Zhou raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat incredible tone: "That shouldn't be the case. His strength is extraordinary. He can't even be compared to the commander. How could there be an evil spirit!"

The mechanism of the evil spirit depends on the soul, not Su Zhou's strength. In front of Su Zhou's Heavenly Soul Karma, without an overlord or the immortal level, the evil spirit cannot be condensed.

But soon, he discovered that the dim light was not an evil spirit.

"etc?"

Even Yala emerged from Su Zhou's soul in surprise, floating on Su Zhou's shoulder, watching everything.

He shook his head in surprise and said in confusion: "This is..."

"Is this the soul fragment of Dusk's direct family members?"

Recommend "Platinum Body" to my friend One Eye! Both the plot and the setting are very imaginative and innovative, and the intention is also very upright, very beautiful! Highly recommended, really beautiful!
