Chapter 148: Righteous Sword
The words Lv Ling said with a smile made Lv Fang feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The final hurdle of the Jianshan was not breaking the illusion, but sacrificing his own life.
Death!
He had never thought about it deeply, nor did he want to think about it.
There were simply too many people or things he cared about; how could he be willing to die right here?
Why was this hurdle like this?
The more Lv Fang thought about it, the deeper his frown became. He tried to slash and break the illusion of the two women in front of him, but it was of no use at all. What was going on? Could it be that it was really as the two of them said?
Only if he died would it work!
Or perhaps this was also a type of illusion, and the reason he hadn't broken it was that he hadn't grasped the key point.
"I don't want to die."
Lv Fang focused on watching the reactions of the two women and said, "Is there any other way to leave here?"
Li Yu and Lv Ling looked at each other, covered their mouths and chuckled, not answering his question, but looking at him vaguely.
It was as if they were saying that there was no other way besides death.
Lv Fang rubbed his temples somewhat irritably, his thoughts turning a hundred times. He didn't have much time left. If he didn't hurry to break this illusion, he might die when it got dark.
Because he was trapped in an illusion, if the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon appeared to attack at this time, he would have no ability to resist at all.
But the illusion he was facing now made him somewhat terrified.
As far as the current situation was concerned, he couldn't think of how to break the situation. Of course, he only believed one-tenth of what the Li Yu and Lv Ling in front of him said.
He had never been a person who easily trusted others.
Inferring from a rational perspective, they must have lied, and some parts must be true.
In an instant, everything that had just happened surfaced in slow motion before his eyes, including the demeanor of the two women when they spoke, and all the unreasonable and abrupt places.
After a brainstorm, Lv Fang sorted out some basic situations. First, their claim that this was not an illusion should be false.
The moment he entered here was exactly the same as the situation when he entered the illusion before. The reason he hadn't broken this illusion was that the key point was not to slay the two people in front of him.
Furthermore, what the two women said, that he must die to leave here.
This was actually stated very vaguely, with truths and lies mixed together. Because they weren't very sure about the specific situation, they suddenly stopped talking when he pressed them.
After recalling it repeatedly, Lv Fang believed that what they said, that only if he died could he leave here, was true.
In other words, the way to break the illusion this time was to slay himself.
However, because they said this was a real situation, that if he died he would really be dead, it made him hesitate.
Lv Ling shook her head and said with a sad face, "Brother, I don't want you to die. If you do, I will never see you again. Can't we just live here for a lifetime like this?"
Li Yu nodded forcefully, "Please believe us. If you die, you will really be dead. Don't think about leaving here. Isn't it good for the three of us to live here like this?"
Lv Fang closed his eyes, completely shielding all influencing factors. After careful consideration, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
What made him struggle was that if he judged incorrectly, it would mean death, which made him have to be extremely cautious.
"Hahaha..." Lv Fang suddenly laughed and said, "It's just death. Clearly, I have already judged that this is an illusion, so why am I still afraid of dying? There are only three people here; breaking the illusion is not on you, but only on me."
After saying this.
Lv Fang's body stiffened. He was like a bystander, watching his own body fall apart.
Watching oneself die was a special experience.
If possible, he didn't want to experience it a second time.
He had won the gamble!
The illusion disappeared, and Lv Fang found that he was already standing on the summit of the Jianshan. On the stone wall a zhang away in front of him was that two-handed greatsword, radiating righteousness, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.
He walked over step by step cautiously, gripped the ancient hilt with both hands, and pulled it outward with force.
*Clang! *
Lv Fang easily pulled out the two-handed greatsword. Including the hilt, this sword was over two meters long. The blade was dull, only the tip was sharpened, there was a blood groove on the sword body, and ancient and complex patterns were engraved on it.
On both sides of the hilt, two ancient characters were engraved.
He didn't recognize these characters, but he naturally knew that the characters were "Righteousness," which should be the name of the sword.
Righteousness Sword!
It was quite suitable for this sword.
Lv Fang held the Righteousness Sword and came down from the Jianshan. Along the way, he did not encounter any illusions blocking him.
Seeing Lv Fang coming down the mountain with the sword, Zhao Qingzhu's eyes revealed joy, "You did it. Can this sword really slay the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon?"
Lv Fang shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. It feels like this sword, besides carrying a strange righteousness, doesn't seem to have anything special. It's getting dark; let's go back to the ancient castle first."
Inside the ancient castle.
Zhao Qingzhu held the Righteousness Sword and looked at it closely, somewhat puzzled, "I can't even sense the righteousness of this sword anymore."
Lv Fang replied, "That righteousness seems to have been retracted into the sword body, but if you sense it carefully, you can still sense that there is righteousness overflowing."
Zhao Qingzhu slashed slightly, and the table was cut in half like tofu. She smiled, "It seems very sharp; it is indeed a good sword."
Just as the two were talking.
In the twilight outside the window, the sound of chains colliding began to ring out, and the roar of the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon came from far to near.
"It's here."
Lv Fang said somewhat eagerly, "Whether this sword can slay it depends on tonight."
Zhao Qingzhu handed the Righteousness Sword to Lv Fang and said, "I have already set up some formations outside. I will cooperate with you then. If this sword really has an effect, let me deliver the final blow."
She had a grudge against Wan Juan.
After all, the person she loved was killed by Wan Juan. Whether it was to break the laws here or to take revenge, she wanted to slay the enemy with her own hands.
Lv Fang took the Righteousness Sword and walked out of the ancient castle first. He summoned the Qimen Qimen Qimen Feijia and rushed toward the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon. Because *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* was popularized in the Great Zhou Wen Bao, he still had insights into sword techniques.
For example, the Evil-Warding Sword Technique or the Dugu Nine Swords.
So he was not afraid of close combat at all, especially with the speed bonus of the Qimen Qimen Qimen Feijia and the trump card of the momentum of Heaven and Earth, even if he really couldn't beat it, he felt he could retreat unscathed.
"Burial Flower Chant!"
Petals of peach blossoms descended, forming a circular lock around the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon.
To better execute the Dugu Nine Swords, Lv Fang used the extraordinary power "Crossing the Sea by Deception" to change his body. The reason he used the Dugu Nine Swords was that this sword technique was very strong, with only offense and no defense.
With the blessing of the Qimen Qimen Qimen Feijia, his speed was extremely fast, like a whirlwind, slashing one after another sword Qi onto the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon's body. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
