As the waves crashed against the shore again and again, the enemy troops within the visible range were submerged in a sea of blood.
After crushing half of the rebel army, Xi Heng relaxed the control of the magic and allowed the sea of blood to slowly calm down from its raging waves.
As the hand gestures and finger movements were relaxed, the red light that was wandering around like fireflies gradually dissipated.
The sound of the surging black tide in the surrounding area gradually disappeared.
The blood-red flood sank, gradually decreasing from a terrifying appearance of three or four meters high like a building to a height of one person.
Finally, the sea of blood turned into a wide pool of blood barely higher than people's ankles, lying quietly on the ground.
The officers and soldiers of the Great Zhao who were not attacked by the sea of blood stared blankly at everything around them. After they came to their senses, they looked at each other, but opened their mouths without saying a word.
In all directions, under the moonlight, one could see countless corpses piled on top of each other.
The corpse was in a strange shape, with a distorted face, and it seemed that there were few intact bones in its body. Many parts were twisted and broken into a difficult position.
Moreover, most of these corpses had bulging stomachs. Even after the sea of blood had dispersed, the mouths of the corpses would still twitch slightly and continuously spit out blood - as if these corpses were still alive.
However, in the eyes of the remaining officers and soldiers, this strange posture did not look like a sign of life, but instead made people feel chills and fear in their hearts.
Even though most of them were victorious troops transferred from the northern border, they had never seen so many corpses as tonight.
Corpses and blood covered the ground. Strange looking corpses were piled on top of each other, and weapons were floating on the pool of blood.
The words "corpses everywhere" seem even more appropriate in this scene.
How many people died here? Ten thousand, or tens of thousands?
As they saw more and more corpses, the officers and soldiers' eyes became more and more numb. Most of them no longer had the excitement of believing that the hard-fought battle would be won, but were just dazed and wooden.
What was that sudden sea of blood?
The first person to guess the answer was Zhao Wanli, because before the sea of blood suddenly appeared, a young girl's voice rang in the ears of both armies.
He was quite familiar with that tone.
Not long after, Zhao Wanli found Xi Heng's figure in the dark night.
"Your Highness the Emperor Ji..."
As the uncle of the current prince and princess, he never used the word "Your Highness" when addressing the princess.
But now I subconsciously added this honorific.
"Yeah." Xi Heng's expression was still quite calm, and he had no awareness that he had killed tens of thousands of people with his own hands.
She clapped her hands, and the one hundred used up dull spirit stones in front of her fell to the ground without her even looking at them.
"The war is over. You can slowly clean up the battlefield."
Xi Heng said casually:
"I will stay in Jinshi City for a while in seclusion. Please don't disturb me during this time."
"..." The general stood in front of Xi Heng and vaguely felt a strange power.
That is the power that one, who is taller than billions of others, unconsciously exudes in his movements and temperament.
It seemed that the person he was facing now was not a princess, but the current emperor...
Therefore, although the princess clearly had no right to order him, he subconsciously bowed and said:
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Go ahead."
Xi Heng waved her hands. She no longer had any interest in the war.
Most of the Tianliang rebels were killed, and those who were not killed fled in all directions and would never come back.
The entire war ended the moment she activated the Blood Sea Technique.
She now only has one wish left - to advance to the realm of Hua Jin.
Having used the Blood Sea Technique and experienced such tremendous power, coupled with his swordsmanship... Xi Heng had a vague feeling that he had reached the threshold of transformation.
Soon, you will be able to step in.
The girl turned around and walked back to the city gate, passing by countless Zhao officers and soldiers with confused looks in their eyes, and stepped into the city with her light skills.
After reloading the game hundreds of times, she has changed a lot compared to before joining the battle.
Whether it is the state of mind, strength, ability, knowledge, etc., they have all increased a lot.
Inside the city, raging fires were burning everywhere.
Although the people were trying their best to rescue, the fire was as raging as a flood and could not be stopped by human power.
The blazing fire burned everywhere in the city, and only around the long river that ran through the city were some of the flames extinguished.
Fortunately, the two major bases of the Dark Sky Sect are both located beside this long river.
The Dark Sky Sect had a large number of people who were able to directly rescue the two bases and lead the surrounding people to fight the fire together. With the combined strength of many people, they were able to put out the fire in several houses.
But now the entire Jinshi City is on fire, and some houses will catch fire again just after being rescued.
This cycle repeats itself, limiting the area where they can maintain stability to a small region.
Xi Heng is good at killing people, but he doesn't know how to put out a fire. He just watched the flames engulf the city.
However, she was actually in a fairly calm mood.
After reloading the game hundreds of times, the deaths and injuries of ordinary people no longer matter to her... as long as they don't disturb her.
Although she was powerless against the raging fire today, if she could find the magic and master the technique of calling the wind and rain in the future, perhaps she could put it out in one fell swoop.
Xi Heng passed by the burning buildings and bungalows, ignoring the people's roars and desperate hoarse cries, and just went his own way.
Before long, her extremely skillful martial arts pushed her to her destination - the Dark Sky Religious Altar.
At this moment, outside the altar, the new head priest named Chen Xiang and a hall master were directing the believers and the surrounding people to put out the fires everywhere.
Xi Heng came to the center of the venue, looked at the busyness of the people, and approached the chief priest and preached:
"The Tianliang army has been pacified. Collect money and food while you are fighting the fire, so that we can prepare for reconstruction and help the refugees... I will be in seclusion in a quiet place on the altar for the next period of time. If there is no need, please do not disturb me. Just send someone to deliver some simple meals every day."
After saying it briefly, seeing the chief priest in front of him bowing in awe and agreeing, Xi Heng went back to the altar, following the crowd around him who were carrying buckets of water and running out.
Entering the main room of the altar, walking around the sacrificial area and the corridor, Xi Heng opened the door, drank a glass of water and sat down cross-legged on a cushion on the floor.
She closed her eyes, her heart as calm as water.
The external noise was gradually separated by her own will, and with a slash of the sword, her mind became silent.
In subjective perception, time becomes slower and slower, and every breath is long.
Xi Heng withdrew most of his thoughts, not being disturbed by the noise or distracted by the temperature changes.
With Kenshin's unique ability, she entered her own spiritual space.
He took two steps forward, opened his eyes, and saw an open space.
Not far ahead, there was a blurry figure floating.
As Xi Heng's mind moved, the blurry figure gradually solidified and turned into himself, with blood all over his body, red eyes flashing with a faint light, like a demon or evil monster.
A strong murderous aura came from the front, but she remained calm and motionless.
His mind swayed again, and the entire blurry white spiritual space around him began to distort and change like a dream.
Gradually, the space was filled with various colors.
The entire scene slowly turned into the sword training ground in the Red Line Sword Academy that Xi Heng was most familiar with.
The demon tilted his head slightly when he saw this, and then curled up the corners of his mouth inexplicably.
"I wonder how long I will be in seclusion this time..." Xi Heng just started talking to himself:
"One month? Two months? Half a year?"
"In short, I will not come out until I achieve Hua Jin."
After she said this briefly, she drew out her sword in her spiritual space and faced the demon in front of her.
"Yeah." The demon seemed quite satisfied with Xi Heng's attitude at this time and nodded slightly:
"Come and kill me."
Xi Heng did not respond. Everything in this space was caused by the fluctuations of her mind and consciousness.
The demon-like self before him was nothing more than an image projected by his unstable mental fluctuations with the help of his stable sword heart.
After taking a stance with her sword in hand, she rushed towards the powerful enemy in front of her.
The demon raised his sword, and the blades collided, clanging and sparks of fire flew everywhere.
……
Xi Heng sat cross-legged to practice every day. After practicing, he would go to bed to rest when he was mentally tired, and would not ask about anything in the outside world.
One day, three days, ten days, half a month... time passed by gradually.
Every day, she only uses her swordsmanship to fight against herself in the spiritual space, constantly honing her sword skills.
After waking up, he continued to sit cross-legged and practice his swordsmanship.
Close your eyes, lie on the bed in a trance for a few seconds and then fall asleep.
Xi Heng had no dreams every night, and apart from the sword, he rarely had any other thoughts.
During this period of seclusion, she always felt like a robot with a set goal. Apart from maintaining the normal functioning of her own body, all her daily affairs revolved around the goal.
Apart from swordsmanship, there is nothing impure.
Although I would think of my senior sister or think about the future from time to time.
But since as long as he loaded the game, the large amount of time currently spent in seclusion would be wiped out in an instant, Xi Heng did not continue to miss her.
This time, it is necessary to achieve the state of transformation.
After that, you can be as loving and affectionate with your senior sister as you want.
As he thought about it, Xi Heng longed even more for a long psychological life.
She didn't want everything she had experienced, her own existence itself, to disappear one day.
In that case, everything you want will be nothing but a fleeting cloud under the time scale of the entire world and the power of time.
She didn't want to be a moment.
She wanted to achieve—eternity.
"Immortality."
These four words turned into determination, pushing her to move forward.
"I will definitely reach the pinnacle of this world and find the way to immortality." Xi Heng whispered to himself.
In the spiritual world, while I was fighting against the monsters, my eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
The sword blade moved as she wished, with the meridians in her body breaking and her hands pushing forward, it broke through the space at a speed that even she herself could hardly react to, and pierced into the demon's chest.
The dark energy exploded twice, piercing a hole as big as a bowl in the demon's heart.
Through the hole, you can see the bamboo forest surrounding the sword training ground in the back.
"This sword is good." The demon's red eyes met Xi Heng's eyes, and he raised his right hand to grasp the long sword on his chest: "But, it's still not good enough."
"The Life-Severing Sword has more than two parts, it can also add another strike."
Xi Heng continued, "Stab three times at the same time."
"Three Swords of Life-Destroying."
As the demon uttered these four words, it transformed into a twisting black shadow and disappeared.
"The sound of life will end, and life will be ruined." Xi Heng's body also fell down, and was replaced by twisted nothingness.
On the other side of the spiritual space, another figure stepped forward and picked up the long sword that had just fallen on the stone slab.
Xi Heng raised her eyes and looked forward. The demon who had fought with her countless times appeared again. He turned his wrist and two blood-stained swords swung left and right, making sword flowers.
The demon did not start the fight right away this time, but said first: "It is not the limit to use the blood and qi to break the meridians and inject a sword. Why not inject your entire life into this sword?"
"vitality."
Xi Heng seemed to be talking to himself at this moment, so he naturally replied, "Put your vitality into the sword as well."
