the enlightener says

"As expected of Shenlong Nilin, it is not inferior to those ancient artifacts..." Gao Changgong tilted his head and smiled wryly, thinking: "If I take it out at the beginning, I won't be able to hold back the flames of that crazy woman. "

But he was just joking, not really complaining.Because he understands that as a practitioner of qi and blood, mind control is not his forte. Even if he has entered the realm of a great master, gradually understands the world, and integrates all things, he still does not have the power to control artifacts.

Biluotianqiong itself is a defensive object, and it seems to be incompatible with Luanfeng's innate fire technique. Naturally, he does not need to use his mind to control it. The strength displayed by Shenlong Nilin this time is because the heart demon has From the very beginning, Shenlong was the object that Shenlong cared about the most. To the end of his death, Shenlong was fighting with the demons in his heart. How could he allow him to gain the upper hand in this "reunion"?

But Luo Fengchu is different. Although Gao Changgong doesn't know how her saint realm came from, he can directly feel the power she releases, which is no different from that of a dragon. The evil aura even contains some kind of divinity, which may not trigger the counterattack of Shenlong Nilin.

In case things didn't work out, and Luo Fengchu took the opportunity to snatch Ni Lin, that would be like giving her an extra artifact, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Gao Changgong silently watched the black dragon struggling painfully on the ground, and when he heard him wailing and yelling but could do nothing, he suddenly sighed: "I'm a little curious now, you should have seen something about that kid's past at this moment. Did you see anything else? For example...that mad woman who was so angry just now, how did she cultivate to the realm of a saint?"

What responded to him was a loud roar that could shock the three armies back.

Inside the dilapidated body of the black dragon, Qin Ke was struggling in pain. The black mist that surrounded him seemed endless, squeezing him into an extremely narrow space, making him unable to move.

"Qin Ke!"

Although that face was just passing by, Zhang Mingqi could see it clearly at the moment, thinking of the phrase "maybe you know" Gao Changgong said before, he was a little confused for a while.

Why is Qin Ke in the body of that black dragon?Could it be that he was also the one who was hiding deep in the clouds during the battle with Luanfeng before?But since it is Qin Ke, why does he want to be an enemy to himself?

A myriad of thoughts came to my mind all of a sudden, Zhang Mingqi could only cast his eyes on Gao Changgong with a strange expression.

Gao Changgong frowned slightly, and his face gradually became dignified. He knew that the black dragon and Qin Ke were tied to each other. It was at the most critical moment that Shenlong Nilin was indeed powerful, and could even temporarily suppress the demons with incomplete spirits. However, the longer the time dragged on, the more power the heart demon would absorb from Qin Ke, and it would be difficult to defeat the heart demon in one fell swoop.

The final showdown is still between Qin Ke and the heart demon.

"Shenlong Nilin has weakened this guy to the bottom. If you still can't beat him at this time, it can only be said that Wanling and I's expectations of you are nothing but a fantasy..." Gao Changgong whispered to himself, holding Yu He's hand remained as steady as ever.

As if to answer his concerns, the black dragon on the ground curled up in pain, and its figure shrank a lot.

The pain continued to bite the black dragon, causing him to wail in despair, while the scarlet covering his eyes was slowly fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing black and white pupils shining peacefully.

"Ants, how dare you!" The black dragon opened its mouth wide, roaring through the sky, and the dragon's body also trembled.

Qin Ke's figure became clearer and clearer. He was covering his head, and his rough voice seemed not what he had: "Get out! Get out!"

Perhaps because he was trapped in the dragon body for too long, many black scales had grown on his human skin, the skin on his hands was chapped and turned black, the nails were sharp and curved, and even stubby black horns protruded from both sides of his forehead...

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled Ye Wang who had been sleeping in Ye Wang's tomb for more than a hundred years.

Ye Wang thinks that he can rely on the dragon to reverse the scales to keep his body from decaying, and then absorb the dragon's energy with a large formation, gradually fade away from his human body, and turn into a newborn dragon, ruling the world.

It's just that he failed in the end, but his path was not all wrong. If he wants to transform from a human into a dragon, the first thing is to lose all the characteristics of being human, and truly become a monster that cannot be tolerated by the world.

It took Qin Ke a lot of effort to control his hands, but he used his sharp nails to cut through the hard scales on his body, the nails cracked, exposing the bloody flesh underneath, and a sharp pain flooded into his brain like a tide , which made him almost faint on the spot, but he took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and held the short horn on his forehead with both hands again.

"Ah—" With a scream, he forcefully broke the two short horns with both hands!

Black and red blood flowed out of the wound immediately, presumably the two short horns had already fused into a part of his body, breaking them off like this was like cutting off his own limbs with his own hands.

The corners of Qin Ke's mouth twitched, without any hesitation, only determination remained in his eyes, as his chest heaved up and down violently, every breath seemed to bring thousands of sharp knives, ruthlessly cutting through the fresh wounds on his body.

He felt that he had never been so awake.

He threw the short horn viciously into the distance, and when it touched the ground, it turned into a thick black mist, which was blown by the wind and dissipated into nothing.

In a few breaths, the blood in his eyes almost faded away, and the shadow entrenched in his heart also faded a lot, as if it would disappear at any time.

"I don't want to play hide-and-seek with you..." Qin Ke was finally able to speak out with his own will.

Qin Ke knew where the shadow was hiding, but he also knew how difficult it was to completely expel the shadow from his body.

After the heart demon was suppressed by the dragon, the dragon passed away, but the heart demon still hid in the body of the dragon. After that, the body of the dragon was eaten by thousands of snakes, and Xiao Hei became the king snake who traveled the farthest on the road to heaven. At this moment, he has completely integrated into his body. If it is not suppressed by the divine golden light from outside, he would not even be able to obtain this moment of clarity.

Qin Ke waited quietly for a while, took two deep breaths again, and seemed to have made a difficult decision—the sharp nails touched his heart and fell heavily.

One stroke.

The bright red blood was like a torrent breaking a bank, and the suffocating pain almost tore Qin Ke's consciousness to pieces instantly. His hands were trembling, and his whole body curled up and trembled.

There was darkness in front of Qin Ke's eyes, hot tears flowed down his cheeks into the loess, and he said like a dream: "Father... Mother... Master..."

But what is strange is that the blood stopped gushing in just a moment, and the terrifying gap in Qin Ke's chest was flipping, as if it had turned into the giant mouth of a monster, greedily devouring the blood and flesh, and even the gap began to close gradually. .

Qin Ke knew that his current expression must be extremely ferocious, but he also knew that this moment might be the most cowardly time in his life. If he ran away, it might be difficult for him to find a chance to suppress his demons, so he rushed with his right hand before the gap closed. , extending into the chest cavity.

He finally touched it.

dong dong.

dong dong.

It was as powerful as a drum of war, as astonishing as a thunderbolt, that power was residing in his body at this moment, like a seedling that was constantly absorbing nutrients, it was looking forward to, looking forward to growing up, looking forward to its own...rebirth someday!

Come to the world again!

However, Qin Ke mercilessly grabbed the "seedling" and pulled it away from his heart forcefully, which involved countless meridians and blood vessels around him. The mass of flesh and blood stretched out many "tentacles". He clenched his internal organs tightly, as if he was doing the last resistance.

This is also a majestic and powerful heart, with a ferocious armor on it, and a faint black light from the deepest part. Every time it beats, the light will become stronger. The poisonous blood flowing out of it is just erosion and transformation. The source of Qin Ke's body.

Dragon's heart.

The soul that the dragon bestowed on him.

It is also the source of power derived from the demons.

When Qin Ke clenched his heart tightly, a mass of blood gushed out from his left eye again, and it spread all over the eyeball in an instant.

"No..." There was a violent roar from Qin Ke's throat. The heart demon foresaw what would happen next, summoned up all the power he could mobilize, and wanted to control Qin Ke to send his heart back into his chest .

"You are crazy! Without the strength he gave you, with your current injury, you will die! You will die!"

Qin Ke's right eye showed complicated emotions, and he pulled the corner of his mouth to squeeze out an ugly smile.

Of course he doesn't want to die, even more than most people in this world want to live.

But he also understands that many times the right to choose is not with him.

"I don't do it, you let me live?"

"Mortal, dedicating your body, this is the supreme glory. Do you know how many people have longed for this glory? Ye Wang, who was above ten thousand people, knelt in front of me and begged countless times. Don't you Don't you want such glory?"

"Glory? Since you value this honor so much, why don't you go to those who are willing to kneel before you and beg you?"

"Idiot! If 'he' didn't give you his essence, how could I bother to look at you?" Qin Ke seemed to be talking to himself, his voice was clear and high-pitched at times, and violent and deep at other times, " I have already lost Ni Lin, and the only one who can bring me back to the world is you, only you!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Qin Ke roared with anger in his clear and high-pitched voice: "I have never wanted that kind of spirit! I have never had your kind of ambition, I just want to have a good time." Alive, then why should I be eaten by you?"

The heart demon has already seen Qin Ke's past, and also knew the future that Qin Ke has been looking forward to in his heart, but he scoffed at it, and a sneer appeared on Qin Ke's face, looking extremely cold, he mocked: "You think you Can those wishes come true? Let me tell you, it is impossible for a person with that imprint to live well, not even living for himself. They are a pair of eyes from outside the world. They can manipulate you to observe the whole world, even a certain place. One day, you will unknowingly become their pawn. And I... I am the guardian of this world! So the one who should survive... is me! Not you!"

The dragon's heart was close to the chest again, and it felt like it could be pushed back to its original position with just a little force, and merged with Qin Ke's heart, giving birth to a new great existence.

But this little distance seems to be as far away as the sky and the earth.

"You're right...I should have died in the wilderness that year, beside my parents." Qin Ke smiled bleakly, and although his left eye was still bloody, a drop of clear tears flowed out, "It's been so many years, I have been hiding the events of that year in my heart, pretending that it never happened, like pretending that I have never eaten the bowl of meat that my parents handed over..."

"I told many people about that experience, including my master. I told them that my father and mother died of starvation on the way to escape from the famine. My father was still holding on to my hand before he died, and told me to continue walking and live... ...It's ridiculous, if I hadn't stolen those few pancakes, maybe I could have walked with my parents for a few more days, and in the end, I could have starved to death in one place..."

Qin Ke's tears fell on his bloody chest, and a wisp of white smoke burst out: "But I ran away that day, and ran forward like a coward, and didn't even look back at my parents. Even at one glance, it seems that as long as I run fast enough, I can forget who I am."

"who am I?"

"I'm Little Bean."

"My father is an honest farmer. He only knows how to farm all his life, but [-]% of the grain he grows has to be handed over to the official, so he has to work non-stop to barely let us have a meal. My mother She is a very good woman who can sew the most beautiful clothes out of the most inconspicuous cloth, and can steam steamed buns that look like rabbits. No matter how hard the day is, she never complains, even when walking on the wasteland, she never complains. Don’t talk about being hungry, just tell me over and over again that the rice fields in the south are harvested every year, and the fish in the pond in the south will jump into the big boat by themselves..."

"But I killed them."

"Even if I can tear those people into pieces in that dream, so what? I still can't change everything."

The heart demon seemed to hear a glimmer of hope from his words, Qin Ke's expression turned into excitement, and said: "So you understand? Then put it back quickly, I swear, when the king comes to the world in the future, I will still With your name, I will let your name be remembered by the world for thousands of years, and you will become the king of this world!"

"Why are you still hesitating!" Sensing that Qin Ke still didn't move, the inner demon became anxious: "If I don't put it back, sooner or later I will be roasted to ashes by the power left by 'him'!"

Qin Ke sighed, a sunny smile replaced the distorted expression of the heart demon, the blood red in his left eye faded to a light pink: "But you forgot, I am not just Xiaodouzi."

He said to himself: "I was lying in a ruin that day, almost so hungry that I couldn't even lift my eyelids. I thought I was really going to die. There was a vulture on top of my head that kept looking at me, and there was also a vulture not far away. The wild dogs want to come..."

"But later, my master appeared. He chased away the vulture, and the wild dogs didn't dare to approach him. He gave me a few sips of rice soup, and then walked out of the wasteland with me on his back."

"Along the way, he asked me what my name was and where I was from. Then he smiled and told me that the name Xiaodouzi sounded like a nickname, and it wasn't loud enough."

"So he gave me a new name, Qin Ke."

Chapter 552 Name

"Master said, 'Qin' was a very great dynasty recorded in the history books. The common people living in that era had land in every family, and the officials and lords were dignified, but they also fulfilled their duties and did not know how to live in the fish and meat village. In the face of natural disasters, life is poor, but at least everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear."

"And 'Ke' is a kind of cart that connects axles. There was once a sage named by this name. He traveled all over the world, hoping to persuade those monarchs to reduce wars, implement benevolent governance, and love the people... There is also a warrior, He also had this name, when the monarch was cruel and innocent, he entered the palace alone to assassinate, although he was seriously injured and exhausted to death, he was really brave and fearless."

"I don't care about the meaning of your name..." The demon's voice no longer came from Qin Ke's mouth, but condensed on the beating black dragon heart.

Qin Ke covered his forehead with one hand and laughed at himself: "But... Of course I can't compare with them. I have never been a person with the world in mind, and I don't know the principles of governing the country and loving the people. I only know one thing, When someone saves you from a certain death situation, gives you a new name, and gives you a home, so that you will never have to suffer from hunger and never be homeless, then you will be him in this life That's right, even as long as he wants, I can give this life... back to him."

"Little Douzi did something wrong, and he will never be able to make up for it... But Qin Ke still has a chance, doesn't he?"

"It's me who should live, not you, because in this world... maybe I'm the only one still looking for him."

Qin Ke's voice finally stopped abruptly, because he had already closed his five fingers fiercely, crushing the lump of flesh and blood in his hand. After a scalp-numbing crackling sound, a burst of severe pain spread throughout his body, and he fell on his back. There was a roar like a beast on the ground.

At the same time, the black dragon body wrapped around him let out a desperate wail, and the scales all over his body instantly disintegrated in a large area, turning into a black tide like ink, rushing towards the surroundings, even killing those who had finally regained their strength. The Jingwu soldiers in the formation rushed up and down.

It's just that the black tide avoided Qin Ke's position, and a gust of unexplained breeze supported his twitching body, caressing him gently like countless gentle palms, which finally relieved him, and he struggled to stand up. Straighten up.

Then, his eyes opened suddenly, and it turned out to be a pair of golden pupils exuding divine light!

The whirlwind flew, bringing out the characteristics of dragons all over his body, the wound was healing at a speed that ordinary people could not understand, and many bright red blood lines protruded from the terrible crack in his chest, like an invisible needle shuttled Among them, in an instant, the flesh and blood turned up on both sides were re-sewed together, and finally a slightly hideous scar was condensed.

The unconscious Xiao Hei was slowly stripped from his back and fell to his feet.

With deep eyes, he tapped twice with one finger, and Xiao Hei, who was about to be washed away by the black water, floated into the air and slowly landed on his shoulder.

Qin Ke didn't seem to feel the slightest change in his body, but just looked into the distance absently, with a certain majesty in his expression.

Seeing such a scene, Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the horse, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this hard work was not in vain."

Gradually, Qin Ke felt the vibration coming from his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face, it was his own heartbeat.

Boom boom, boom boom.

A newborn heart was beating extremely powerfully and steadily.

but.

When everyone's attention was focused on the changes in Qin Ke's body, in the powerful black water, there was a person who didn't take a step back, and even went against the current quickly.

Xiang Chu!

He had already abandoned the northern barbarian horse under him, and the ghost mask on his face was also missing. At this moment, with his hair loose, he charged Qin Ke step by step!

The sudden change made even Gao Changgong change his face, but he is still seriously injured, and he still needs to stabilize the Shenlong Nilin to help Qin Ke continue to repair the injury. In desperation, he could only yell loudly: "Yanzong! Stop it!" he!"

Several Qingzhou ghost riders who were closest to Xiang Chu responded immediately, but the momentum of the black tide was still fierce, and many war horses could hardly stand still, let alone stepped forward to stop them.

Gao Changgong also knew that even if the Qingzhou ghost rider could rush to Qin Ke in time, he would not be able to stop Xiang Chu, who had been preparing for a long time!

careless...

He had thought that Xiang Chu would lead the Tang army to retreat with Li Mo, but he never thought that this person would be so bold that he would sneak into the formation of Qingzhou ghost riders!

Apparently Xiang Chu also saw a series of changes in Qin Ke's body before, and he only took action now...

But if Qin Ke really died at his hands because of this, then what face would he have to go back to Jingwu, and how would he explain to Zhuge Wanling?

Various thoughts flashed through Gao Changgong's mind, but he was restrained by the dragon Nilin in the jade box, so he couldn't move for a while.

Under the leadership of Gao Yanzong, the Qingzhou Ghost Rider still struggled against Heishui, and wanted to rush to Qin Ke's side, but even if they did, who among them could be the opponent of the great master Xiang Chu?

At this time, Xiang Chu stared at Qin Ke intently, and gradually felt the strong power remaining in him, and more affirmed the connection between Qin Ke and the black dragon that stirred up the situation, so he showed a satisfied smile.

There was no longer any hesitation in his heart, and the strength under his feet increased several times, causing the ground around him to tremble repeatedly, and even opened a path in the black tide.

A long horse spear was pushed out from behind him, straight forward.

This is not halberd technique, but spear technique.

Xiang Chu was born to be the proud son of heaven, and he is even more outstanding in the field of cultivation, leaving his peers far behind.

Whether it is halberd technique, spear technique, or sword technique, it is all at his fingertips.What's more, the horse lance is originally a weapon for cavalry to cooperate with the horse's charge, so it is naturally difficult to exert the power of the halberd technique, so he changed it a little and switched to the spear technique.

And this shot imitated the shot that Gao Changgong had just defeated him. Even though there was still a big gap in power from Gao Changgong, it had already imitated seven or eight points of charm.

Thinking about it, even a master at the level of a great master would have to be fully prepared to deal with the spear he mobilized his whole body to stab. Before Qin Ke turned into a black dragon, he was still a little short of time from the level of a small master. , at this moment is in the critical period of body repair, can only stand in a daze in a daze.

Ma Yang turned into a straight line, like a dark night under the golden light flowing sky.
