One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 40 Scheme against each other
"Now, do you know?"

The next moment Sun Hongying's voice also underwent some subtle changes,

Under the influence of that crazy eye, Sun Hongying seemed to be a different person at this moment.

madness, killing, indifference
That eye reveals too much negative emotion,
In a trance, Xu Lan felt that he was in a battlefield,

The blood flow on the ground gathered into a vast ocean, and when I raised my eyes, I looked around at the piles of bones piled up like mountains!
Looking around, there is no one alive!

But that didn't last long,
After a while, Sun Hongying still slowly put down her hands, and let the cloth cover her eyes again.

In an instant,
The astonishing killing intent pervading all around also disappeared without a trace.

Xu Lan and Chen Ci, who came back to their senses, looked at each other, each showing a look of relief.

Just at that moment,

The body instinctively perceives the danger and subconsciously enters the fighting state,
If Sun Hongying hadn't stopped in time, the two of them would have drawn their swords at her at this time.

"Sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Sun Hongying, who had regained her composure, showed a rare hint of playfulness and said, "I have tried my best to restrain myself."

Xu Lan:......

It's hard to imagine what Sun Hongying went through to have such terrifying murderous intent.

Moreover, her murderous intent is very unique. Chen Ci, who was born in the Xuanjing Division, also has murderous intent.
But far less terrifying than her.

"Did Miss Sun go to the battlefield?"

At this moment, Chen Ci slowly said: "I have seen some soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the field in the capital, and their murderous aura is just like yours."

"As expected of the Xuanjing Division."

The corners of Sun Hongying's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a smile: "But all of this has passed, and now I am only Sun Hongying, the current Patriarch of the Sun family in Qingzhou."

Hearing the words, Chen Ci wanted to stop, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At this moment, the maid of the Sun Mansion came over to inform that the dishes for the banquet were ready.
"Master Xu, please."

After Xu Lan agreed to the deal, Sun Hongying seemed to be in a much better mood.

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Xu Lan did not refuse the invitation.
After all, he hadn't eaten yet.

Later, Xu Lan and Chen Ci also had a meal in Sun Mansion before saying goodbye and leaving, but this time neither of them drank.

After the meal, Xu Lan didn't continue to greet Sun Hongying and found an excuse to leave.

Sun Hongying did not stop him, but once again promised to deliver the things Xu Lan needed to Xu Mansion in three days.

"Patriarch, they have already left."

Butler Lin returned to the living room after sending Xu Lan and the two away. He looked at Sun Hongying who had his back turned to him and couldn't help but show a worried look.

Others may not know Sun Hongying’s condition.

But as the general manager of the Sun Mansion, how could Sun Hongying's confidants not know that Sun Hongying's situation was not much better at this moment.

"Ah."

Sun Hongying responded softly, and the next moment she covered her eyes and let out a painful cold snort.

The astonishing killing intent quickly spread around, but it was fleeting.

This cycle continues, and it seems that there is another mysterious consciousness in Sun Hongying's body fighting for her body.

"How reckless, it's not your turn to control my body!"

Sun Hongying talked to herself, and her voice changed again the next moment.

"Your? You are Sun Hongying, so am I not Sun Hongying?"

"To shut up!"

"I am you, and you are me. If you dare to open the calamity of heaven and man, you and I will die!"

"I told you to shut up!"

After a slow moment, Sun Hongying breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's getting harder and harder to control"

Sun Hongying knew that she didn't have much time left for her.
If she doesn't get through the calamity of heaven and man as soon as possible, then she will no longer be her.

"Patriarch, what should we do next?"

Butler Lin asked in a low voice: "I have sent people to rush to the place where the mine is located overnight. It is estimated that it will take about seven days to clear the collapsed passage."

"Seven days?"

Sun Hongying said slowly: "The sooner this matter is done, the better. We can't delay it any longer."

"it is good."

Butler Lin nodded, then hesitated to speak.

"Patriarch, you promised Xu Lan three things. If he uses this opportunity to make some excessive demands on us, what should we do?"

Hearing that Sun Hongying narrowed her eyes slightly, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"The most urgent task is to send the fifty deep sea black iron long swords to the Xu residence."

Sun Hongying said calmly: "As long as I can survive the catastrophe of heaven and man, Xu Lan will not continue to mention this matter if he is sensible."

As for unconditionally agreeing to Xu Lan’s three things
To be honest, Sun Hongying had no intention of fulfilling her promise from the very beginning, everything was just a delaying strategy.

Xu Lan wanted to believe that it was his own business, and whether she wanted to do it or not was up to her.

.......
On the streets of Qingzhou,

Xu Lan and Chen Ci walked side by side.

"What do you think?"

Xu Lan raised her head slightly to look at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and said softly: "I feel that she is far more than what she appears on the surface."

Obviously no trace of true energy could be felt in Sun Hongying's body,

But the moment she took off the cloth covering her eyes, she felt a strong sense of oppression.

The four realms of perfection!
At that moment, even he had only a sense of powerlessness pervading his whole body.

"Yeah, but I can understand why she is anxious to find the inheritance of the formation master."

"Why?"

Xu Lan immediately became interested when he heard the words,

"Her practice is an ultimate way of killing. If you choose this way of practice, you only need to keep killing yourself to make your cultivation more and more refined."

"Generally speaking, ordinary people will not choose this extreme method of killing, because even if they kill a hundred, a thousand will not be enough."

"As far as I know, only those frontier soldiers who walk on the edge of life and death every day will choose this path of practice, because tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people die every day on the battlefield!"

"However, this path of practice also has obvious sequelae. There is basically no way to survive in the face of the calamity of heaven and man."

"That's why she urgently sought out the inheritance of the formation master. Only in this way can she have enough confidence to survive the disaster of heaven and man."

Chen Ci's words made Xu Lan fall into thought,

"But she can choose not to face the calamity of heaven and man, won't she be fine?"

Xu Lan asked a very crucial question,
"The ultimate method of killing will stain the practitioner's hands with more and more blood. Once it accumulates to a certain level, it will be entangled with cause and effect."

Chen Ci slowly said: "In this case, another consciousness will be born in the body, and it will even gradually affect itself as time goes by. This is the so-called loss of self."

"There is only one way to avoid this situation, and that is to use the power of the calamity of heaven and man to eliminate all causes and effects in the body, including this consciousness that can affect the self."

"But the problem is that everything in the world has a set of rules. The calamity of heaven and man very much excludes people who are entangled in karma. Throughout the ages, no one who is entangled in karma can survive the calamity of heaven and man."
