Chapter 423 World Chapter Final Battle of Xuanyong (27)
The sudden "bad news" made Wang Yao, who already hated Jixia, somewhat moved.
"Martyrdom?" Wang Yao raised his face slightly and looked directly at Meng Tian.
As a top hero, Meng Tian's psychological quality is also top-notch. However, even so, Wang Yao can still see a hint of hidden sadness in his dark and deep eyes.
As if he heard the confusion in Wang Yao's tone, Meng Tian calmed down his sadness and continued, "Please don't be confused, sir. This is what it means literally. The great Master Mozi has left us forever. Just three days ago, in a distant place that we can't reach, Master Mozi sacrificed his life heroically to protect this world."
Wang Yao fell silent again.
Theoretically, heroes will not "die". Physical death is just a short sleep for heroes, unless...
Wang Yao suddenly clenched his fists unconsciously.
Unless, like Luna, she suffers a blow that exceeds her own endurance value, or some kind of super blow with special blessings, the hero will "die".
In short, there was some kind of power that completely killed one of the three giants of Jixia Academy! And this power should be far greater than the strongest arrow of the demigod descendant [Arrow of the Burning Sun]. After all, Wang Yao had personally experienced the strength of Wan Gu Chang Ming. It can be said that before he became the current [Demi-God] realm, Wang Yao was almost beaten by Wan Gu Chang Ming. As a Peace Watcher who could keep pace with Wan Gu Chang Ming, he was actually killed. This shows how terrible this "power" is!
But..., then what?
Soon, Wang Yao's mood changed from being slightly stunned at the beginning to slowly turning into a stagnant state again, just like usual, without any ripples, and his breath even carried a bit of bone-chilling coldness.
"." Looking at Wang Yao's somewhat desolate back with a very complicated expression, Sun Shangxiang's pretty face unconsciously showed a trace of loneliness.
Although she was also shocked, Sun Shangxiang cared more about Wang Yao's feelings at the moment than the news of Peace Watch's unfortunate death.
All along, no one dared to mention the battle that broke out in the highlands of Shu Kingdom in front of Wang Yao, and Wang Yao had been trying to use the harsh war situation to forget that memory. But now, when the scab that blocked the memory was easily pulled off by the same enemy, Jixia Academy, all that was left was the shocking bloody scene.
At this time, Meng Tian's voice came again: "The terrible enemy is about to return. That is our hero's old enemy, Lord Wang Yao. We don't have much time left. The enemies will arrive in our world in three years. By then, it will be the end of all things in the world, and no one will be spared from this disaster."
"I've said so much." Not paying attention to the fact that Meng Tian's voice seemed to carry a hint of deep fear, Wang Yao suddenly asked calmly, "What exactly does Zhuang Zhou want to tell me?"
There is actually no need to ask this question, because as early as when Meng Tian and Jing appeared, Wang Yao had already keenly realized the purpose of their trip, but until now, Wang Yao still had a fluke, hoping that the result would eventually meet his expectations.
"Master Zhuang Zhou's intention is naturally to hope that our Jixia Academy and your Federation can put aside all prejudices against each other. No matter what happened in the past, in the face of the impending disaster, there is absolutely no need for us to continue such meaningless internal friction. We should unite to face the outside world and put aside our hatred."
"can."
Before Meng Tian could finish his words, Wang Yao interrupted him again and agreed to Zhuang Zhou's unilateral request.
This sudden reply was so clear and neat that even Meng Tian was a little caught off guard: "Sir, do you understand what Master Zhuang Zhou meant? Do you agree?"
Meng Tian had prepared a lot of words before coming. He originally planned to use his eloquent tongue to persuade Wang Yao to the best of his ability. However, he did not expect that Wang Yao would not play by the rules at all. Before what he wanted to say reached even one percent of his expectations, Wang Yao agreed directly.
So,
Meng Tian's face showed an abnormal bitterness. He suddenly recalled something Zhuang Zhou told him before he left for Jixia Academy: Wang Yao might surrender to Jixia Academy on the condition of "a certain request".
really--
"I don't care what the world will be like in three years." Wang Yao said word by word in a slightly hoarse voice: "I only care about one thing."
Looking at Wang Yao from afar with an indescribable look, Meng Tian was silent for three seconds, and then said: "Are you talking about the Moonlight Girl?"
Facing Meng Tian's question, Wang Yao did not give a positive answer, but just stood there quietly. However, this time, Meng Tian could easily sense a violent emotional fluctuation from Wang Yao's breath, which formed a sharp contrast with Wang Yao's usual indifference.
It is a strong desire and longing for someone you love.
just
"Unfortunately, Master Zhuang Zhou was powerless in this matter." Meng Tian said, "At the beginning, Master Zhuang Zhou wanted to help after learning about the general situation, but five days had passed. Even if Master Zhuang Zhou tried his best, it was too late. We at Jixia Academy are very sorry for this."
The evening breeze blows gently across the earth, and the sky begins to darken.
"Really?" After hearing Meng Tian's answer, Wang Yao raised his head and looked blankly at the twilight gradually setting in the west, like an old man with an indescribable vicissitude. "That's really a pity."
Looking at the man who suddenly became depressed, as if he was afraid that Wang Yao would go back on his word, Meng Tian quickly added, "Of course, please rest assured, Your Excellency. Although we cannot satisfy you on this issue, Master Zhuang Zhou has promised that as long as we can stop fighting and make peace, all your past crimes will never be pursued by our Jixia Academy. Not only that, the heroes of your Federation can also enjoy corresponding honors and status in our Jixia Academy, including your Excellency. Master Zhuang Zhou said that he hopes you will go to the Sun Tower to meet him. By then, you will know the whole story."
The world was slowly getting darker, the sun was setting, and the darkness that slowly swept in from afar engulfed Wang Yao, making him look as if he was immersed in a black lake. Only a pair of bright, cold dark red eyes were left on the mask, which was indescribably eerie.
Meng Tian, who was completely immersed in himself, still spoke his prepared speech with great righteousness: "Your Excellency, Jixia Academy has made the greatest concession to the Federation. Moreover, in front of the world and millions of lives, personal gains and losses are not worth mentioning. All parties, no matter who they are, should put aside their past grudges, share the same hatred and unite against the enemy in this critical moment. This is the mind and responsibility that a hegemon should have! I hope you will not act on your own. You must realize that..."
"Pfft."
Wang Yao suddenly laughed out loud.
The laughter was so sudden, as if it was finally uncontrollable after being held back for a long time out of politeness. And it was this sudden sneer that made Meng Tian, who was originally giving a speech with great enthusiasm, feel as if a basin of ice water was poured all over his head, chilling him from head to toe.
"???" Meng Tian looked at Wang Yao with an expression of disbelief and anger, "Sir, what are you laughing at?"
He felt offended. This kind of laughter was not very harmful, but it was extremely insulting at this moment!
It would have been fine if Meng Tian didn't ask, but once he asked, Wang Yao seemed to be even more unable to hold back.
“Haha, haha, hahaha!!”
He felt like he had encountered a complete fool who was doing his best to be funny. He smiled unconsciously at first, then the arc became bigger and bigger until he burst into crazy laughter! Finally, he turned around and patted the shoulder of Sun Shangxiang, who was also at a loss, and said, "I'm sorry, I always thought you were too naive, so naive that you were a little silly, but today I see that the great sage of Jixia is the most naive person in the world! Hahaha!"
In that laughter, there was disappointment, anger, contempt, but more of it was disdain.
Sun Shangxiang stared blankly at the man in front of her who seemed to be a little crazy, and thought to herself, is this considered a compliment to her?
After a long while, in front of everyone's dumbfounded gaze, Wang Yao finally stopped laughing and looked at Meng Tian, whose face was gradually turning blue, and said, "If you can't meet my conditions, then please go to Jixia and tell Zhuang Zhou that I will visit him in person someday, but with a million troops!"
The meaning is very clear. If Jixia Academy wants to get something for nothing and win people's hearts with its bullshit rhetoric of sacrificing one's own interests for the sake of everyone, then it'd better get out as soon as possible!
Meng Tian asked in an excited tone: "It's unbelievable. Do you think that the destruction of the world is okay?"
"Yes, what does the destruction of the world have to do with me?" Wang Yao's tone was cold and creepy, like the breath blown out from the mouth of a ghost: "How long will you Jixia Academy be naive? Do you want me to pretend that nothing has happened just because of one or two words of righteousness? In my opinion, you don't even know what I really want! Status? Power? Honor? No, what I want is to overthrow this cruel world, to change this world that exists only for war, and to destroy you Jixia Academy that claims to be the righteous way of the world! In my opinion, the so-called Jixia great sages have no need to exist at all, because they are just a group of war criminals who deceive the world and commit heinous crimes!"
“Arrogant!” Whether it was out of personal hatred for his brother’s abuse or out of hostility, Jing, who had finally lost his patience, took a step forward and said, “How dare you speak rudely and insult the great sages? We at Jixia Academy are willing to forgive you, the heretic demon king, this time. We are already generous. Do you really think we can’t kill you?!”
However, Jing's scolding resulted in the breakdown of the negotiations.
Wang Yao slowly put away the things in front of him, and said in a murderous tone, "Well, you can come and try."
boom--
At this moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly burst out from Wang Yao's body, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly erupting, stirring the air flow within a hundred meters. In an instant, the world was filled with murderous aura!
"Line up, form a formation!"
The battle came too suddenly. Meng Tian could clearly feel the strong murderous intent from Wang Yao at this moment. He didn't even have time to remind Jing. He instinctively summoned the four soldiers around him to quickly form a battle formation to prepare for defense!
A deadlock suddenly descended upon the negotiation field that was supposed to end peacefully!
In the midst of the lightning and flames, just as Meng Tian and the guards had just formed their battle formation, Wang Yao's figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of them like a ghost out of thin air! !
“!!!” At the last second, reflected in Meng Tian’s pupils was Wang Yao’s hideous ghost face mask and the energy ball in his hand that was shining with deadly blue light!
Skill 1 [East Wind Attack]!!
Guboom!!!
A fierce and dazzling mushroom cloud of flames suddenly rose from where Meng Tian and Jing were, illuminating half of the dim yellow sky, and the ground within a radius of ten meters was completely cracked under the pressure of this tyrannical force! !
"Stupid, idiot!" Sun Shangxiang was very anxious. She never expected that Wang Yao would start fighting as soon as he said so. Not to mention the enemy, even she, his ally, didn't react.
To be honest, during the negotiation, Sun Shangxiang thought everything seemed to be turning around, but she didn't expect that she would have to rely on force to solve the problem. Of course, Sun Shangxiang could understand it. After all, for Wang Yao, perhaps from the moment the Moonlight Girl was reduced to ashes, this world no longer had any meaning to exist.
No matter what, Sun Shangxiang didn't have time to think too much. She just helped Wang Yao defeat the enemy in front of him. But before she could move forward to support him, she froze in place again.
Because there was no intense follow-up fighting sound as imagined from the front, but instead it began to gradually quiet down.
After the smoke in front slowly faded away, all that was left was the mess on the ground and the lonely figure of Wang Yao.
"What. Is going on?" Sun Shangxiang looked around in disbelief, but she could not see any other figures on the huge battlefield. Even the injured black and white chess pieces were nowhere to be seen.
"They escaped?!" Sun Shangxiang was both happy and confused at this moment.
The arrival of the two evil gods, Meng Tian and Jing, seemed like a dream, leaving only a mess on the ground, proving that the previous battles had really happened.
Just when Sun Shangxiang was in a state of downtime and couldn't figure out what was going on, Wang Yao's voice floated over from afar.
That was said to Sun Shangxiang.
"Go inform Da Qiao and ask her to order the three armies to assemble and prepare to attack Xuanyong Highlands!"
