Looking at the spear in front of him that was stained with the aura of karma, Ningzhe's thoughts drifted into the distance for a moment. He thought of the battle of Osel, and of himself who had also suffered the backlash of karma at that time.

Not long after he took over Clemons' power at that time, he had not yet completed his own transformation. He had already endured great pain by rashly inflicting the backlash of the power of karma on himself. Even if he had a strong willpower, he would have to suffer.

Bow your head.

But this man named Kujo Shukichi, even though the power of karma is all over his body, his expression is still so calm.

It seemed that this pain was nothing to him.

Ningzhe knew how violent the backlash of karma was, and how deep the pain was in his bones. Because of this, Kujo Shukichi's performance made him pay attention frequently.

What exactly has he gone through? In other words, what kind of person is he and what kind of determination he has made to be able to withstand this kind of strength accumulated from many lives of killing.

"Surprised?"

As if aware of Ningzhe's silence, Kujo Shukichi suddenly spoke: "In that battle with the Demon God, I heard that you also applied this power to yourself, and then severely injured the [Demon God of Whirlpool].

"

"I'm afraid you were not as powerful as you are now; and how do I compare to you then?"

Kujo Shukichi's voice was extremely calm, and the pain that penetrated his bones failed to change his tone.

Hearing this, Ningzhe smiled and shook his head gently: "In terms of [strength] alone, you are indeed much stronger than me at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that now you have the ability to face

The capital of Auxerre, which is in a state of incompleteness, can even keep up with the situation."

However, before Kujo Shukichi could reply, Ningzhe changed the topic: "It's just that you still can't defeat Osel. Do you want to know why?"

"."

Xiuji slowed down the pace of his attack and stared at Ningzhe with a pair of empty eyes.

"The reason is very simple, very simple, and there is no shame in saying it." Ningzhe spread his hands and his tone became helpless: "Because I am not alone."

At this point, Ningzhe suddenly paused and then added: "To be specific, I have never been alone, and you can only rely on yourself - not even on yourself, because you have been plundering other people's things."

Upon hearing this, Xiuji froze, then accelerated the surge of power and began to move crazily towards Ningzhe's position.

"Um?"

Noticing the change in Xiuji's aura, Ningzhe raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Is this urgent?

His words didn't seem to be very hurtful. At least they were very well-chosen and not offensive at all.

--never mind.

Seeing that Kujo Shukichi over there didn't want to talk and just wanted to fight, Ningzhe waved his hand, and the elemental power lingering around him began to disperse, rushing towards the turbid corrosive power wave after wave.

Although the power of karma is strong, it is not inexhaustible. After all, this kind of thing cannot be produced by humans.

Xiuji mobilized a lot of karmic power at once, which also reduced the burden on Mandrill's body. As long as the power is exhausted this time and Xiuji has to mobilize his strength again, Mandrill can directly regain control of his body.

right.

That's why Ningzhe was so unhurried.

"I've said it a long time ago, the outcome of this battle was doomed from the beginning."

Ningzhe looked calmly at the forces that were constantly colliding in front of him. The strength of both sides was constantly weakening, but the golden energy continued to gather behind him.

Seeing this situation, even though his own power was constantly dissipating, Kujo Shukichi did not stop moving.

The silver light emitted by Gangnir is no longer as dazzling as before, and the tip of the spear that can pierce everything is also covered in dust by the power of turbid karma.

In its control, Gangnir is a weapon, and a weapon will not refuse any power given by its controller - even if this power will make it dust.

"If you continue like this, in less than ten minutes, your power will be completely exhausted, and you will also encounter the backlash of Gangnir and karma."

Ningzhe looked at Kujo Shukichi and said calmly: "Do you have anything else to say? By that time, you will probably have no chance to speak again."

"."

After hearing Ningzhe's words, Kujo Shukichi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses and looked at Ningzhe, with a trace of imperceptible confusion in his eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

"Haha. I have long regarded words as weapons, as a sharp sword inserted into my mind. It has disrupted everything, leaving only one wish."

"Becoming a [person] who can control his own life is my wish, and it is also the unchangeable oath I engraved in my mind with that sharp sword."

".Ningzhe."

His expression was no longer as stiff as before, and became a little softer, more like a human being.

Moreover, Ningzhe also noticed a detail.

Kujo Shukichi used to call Ningzhe "the one favored by the gods" instead of Ningzhe's real name.

Until this moment, when everything seemed to be coming to an end, he finally called this compatriot by a human name.

"It's not difficult to guess. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to deceive Gangnir."

Regarding Kujo Shukichi's attitude, Ningzhe's expression remained unchanged, as calm as ever, and his words were quite plain, with almost no ups and downs.

"hehe."

Hearing this, Kujo Shukichi smiled. Then he gathered together the last defensive forces gathered around him and gradually shaped them into the shape of a long sword.

Just looking at this look, it seems that this person wants to make a final counterattack before dying, using his last strength as a bet to start the last gamble.

But in this regard, Ningzhe's expression remained unchanged.

He didn't even use any means to counterattack, he just watched quietly.

".do you know?"

He suddenly spoke.

"If it weren't for the decision I made back then, I'd probably still be just a direct member of the Kujo family."

"Perhaps after the fall of Kujo Takayuki, I can hold an important position in the Tianling Enforcement. Haha, but even so, I rely on your Ningzhe's brilliance, right?"

There was a trace of ridicule in his tone. He knew who was responsible for the changes in his hometown, and he also knew that the Liyue man in front of him had received the title of "Famous Scholar" conferred by General Thunder and Lightning.

"In the past years, it seems that no matter what I do, there are your steps. You are like a prophet who can predict the future, always walking on the right path."

At this point, Xiuji's tone suddenly became low.

"So, I came here and got this weapon without sacrificing myself. This is my own method."

After the words fell, Xiuji's expression returned to calm, and he raised the long sword that he had put all his strength into.

Then, he pointed the blade of the long sword at himself and stabbed it without hesitation.

"This is round three."

Chi——

The bright red color is scattered on the ground, which is human blood.
