Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

The setting sun is like blood, dyeing the sky red.

Cheng Lixue stared blankly at the black-haired man in front of her, her expression dazed and incredulous.

If someone had told her before that she could catch light, she would have thought it was nonsense.

Until she saw the back of the man in the black windbreaker, and he grasped the rays tightly in his hands.

"Here comes another one, you look quite powerful!" The Herrscher of Fire tilted his head and smiled with his fingers against his mouth.

"Huh, we caught up." Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the Herrscher of Flame flying in the sky. "You can fly, so you're not kidding."

Cheng Lixue would definitely not have heard this voice wrong. This voice in her memory was still unforgettable after so long.

…………

"Well, wonton noodles taste good. Your master will like it."

Lu Ren took a sip of tea with a calm expression. He had eaten the bowl of wonton noodles on the table until not even the soup was left.

"Oh, really? After all, I've been learning how to make wonton noodles for almost half a year, so it's normal for me to make some progress."

Cheng Lixue scratched her head embarrassedly. She had troubled Lu Ren quite a few times in the past six months.

She still remembers that she put some Chunbulao, a specialty of Taixu Mountain, in the first bowl of wonton noodles she made.

After eating that bowl of noodles, Lu Ren's face suddenly became extremely strange. He seemed to have lost his soul and was in a daze the whole day.

It was the first time she saw such a situation occur after taking Chunbulao. After Lu Ren recovered, Cheng Lixue kept apologizing to him.

"I should go now. Time always passes quickly and slips away from my fingertips in the blink of an eye."

Lu Ren stood up and looked up at the sunset outside the window. His black pupils were shining in the sunset.

He is a man with a lot of stories like his master, but unlike his master who keeps his stories deep in his heart, Lu Ren occasionally has strange emotions flowing out of his heart.

"I still remember the sunset that day. We lay on the grass, looking at the same sunset, and talking about our future life."

Cheng Lixue didn't say anything.

"To be honest, Lixue, I don't want you to join Tianming."

Lu Ren's gaze fell back on Cheng Lixue, and the gentle gaze just now was now looking at her like a sharp blade.

"Fighting for the people of the world, this is what my master taught me."

"This means you might be sacrificed..."

"If you die for the people of the world, then it won't be a pity."

Lu Ren's eyes softened again. He sighed, walked to the door, pushed it open and walked out.

Cheng Lixue originally wanted to see Lu Ren off, but when she went out, she found that Lu Ren had disappeared long ago.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Lu Ren would never come back.

When they were in the mountains, she and Fu Hua spent less and less time together, although she knew that Fu Hua must be doing something big.

But she inevitably felt unbalanced in her heart, and she still hoped that she could spend more time with Fu Hua.

It was not until later that the black-haired man came here claiming to be lost that this place became a little more popular.

He had an ordinary appearance, a face that looked like that of a Shenzhou person. His face, like Fu Hua's, seemed as if life had washed away all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

He said he got here because he got lost, but since then he could always find this place accurately, so the reason for getting lost seemed a little far-fetched.

He could find a place he had only visited once accurately again later.

So he was going somewhere and got lost before. Cheng Lixue remembered that there was no such place on Taixu Mountain.

He introduced himself as Lu Ren, and his dry introduction reminded her of the time when Fu Hua held her hand.

"Come with me...I can give you a home."

It was that simple. She followed her elder sister Fu Hua to Taixu Mountain in a daze.

Lu Ren seemed unwilling to let Fu Hua know about his arrival, so he would send a message in advance every time to ask if Fu Hua was on the mountain.

Once, just after Cheng Lixue sent a message, Fu Hua suddenly came back and bumped into Lu Ren.

That day they talked for a long time in a place Cheng Lixue didn't know, and only then did she find out that Fu Hua and Lu Ren knew each other.

All we can say is that birds of a feather flock together. Fu Hua’s friend is indeed such a stoic person.

After Lu Ren left that day, Fu Hua rarely took out a watch from the locked room.

She put the watch on the table, a look of relief in her eyes.

"Lixue, do you know that when Lu Ren was making this watch, he almost blew up the entire base."

I didn’t expect that Lu Ren, who seemed reliable on weekdays, had this side of him.

As the sun and the moon passed, time passed by like a white horse. Cheng Lixue's swordsmanship and boxing skills had already been practiced to the level of pure fire furnace blue.

She remembered the wonton noodles that Fu Hua Yueyue would make for her, and that day was her happiest day.

After eating for so long, she also had the idea of ​​making a bowl of noodles for Fu Hua herself, so she begged Lu Ren to taste the noodles she made.

"Why don't you just try it yourself? Why do you have to bring me along?"

"Lu Ren, you can be friends with Master, so your tastes must be similar."

"..."

After she sent Lu Ren away that day, she excitedly prepared a bowl of wonton noodles the next day, waiting for Fu Hua to come back and give her a surprise.

As a result, she waited until she fell asleep at the table, the noodles were cold, and Fu Hua didn't come back.

Later she realized that Fu Hua was gone.

After that, Lu Ren did come, so she packed up her things and went down the mountain as well.

The two people who left the deepest impression on her left her one after another. They also taught Cheng Lixue a lot of things.

To her, they were both teachers and friends. She suddenly remembered what Lu Ren once said to her.

"Lixue, what would you do if we all left?"

"Then I will definitely go down the mountain. What's the point of having all the martial arts knowledge if not saving the people of the world?"

It turned out that Lu Ren had reminded Cheng Lixue and the others to leave at that time, but she thought it was Lu Ren's chicken soup at that time.

The purpose is to prevent her from going astray.

…………

"Hmph, so what if you're a scoundrel? Do you think you can fly up and hit me?" The Herrscher of Flame made a face at Lu Ren.

Lu Ren squatted slightly and supported himself on the ground near his feet.

The instantaneous explosive power allowed him to reach the level of the Herrscher of Fire.

"What!" The Herrscher of Fire never expected that Lu Ren would actually fly up and hit her.

She hastily released the flames, intending to burn the reckless man to charcoal.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ren took out a sword in his hand. A cold light flashed on the sword. The sword body passed through the flames, and the flames retreated.

"Taixu Sword Form, Transformed Sword·Moon Heron!"

A white egret as white as jade appeared behind Lu Ren. It let out a long whistle, the clear sound like a stream thawing in early spring.

It is integrated into the sword body, carrying with it a terrifying power.

"Well, how is this possible?" The Herrscher of Fire looked in astonishment at the huge hole in his abdomen that was pierced by the sword.

At this time, Lu Ren was already standing behind her, his windbreaker fluttering in the wind.

He still held the plague gem in his hand, and the light it emitted was dazzling, but Lu Ren simply opened a crack and threw the gem in.

The Herrscher of Fire, who had been so arrogant just now, had now turned into ashes, killed by the never-extinguished flame in her body.

Without her Herrscher core, she is nothing.
