C574 The Whirlpool at the Bottom of the Lake
C574 The Whirlpool at the Bottom of the Lake
The "other Ye Kai" wildly roared. He did not even need to cool down his skill before he slashed out another shocking wave of the Moon Splitting Technique.
That dazzling and glaring sword light rushed towards Ye Kai. Ye Kai could not dodge anymore, nor did he have the confidence to dodge anymore.
...
"Where... where is this...? I... I should have been insta-killed, right? "
After a long time, Ye Kai's consciousness gradually recovered. He forcefully opened his painful eyes and looked around as he subconsciously asked.
"Insta-kill? Hehehehe..."
It was Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi's voice.
"In my space of consciousness, life and death are but fleeting clouds. However, if you must count the outcome of life and death, that's right. You were indeed killed by yourself."
" Killed by myself? Does that mean the 'me' just now was an illusion? Was it you who created it? "
Ye Kai looked at his uninjured body and gently got up.
"Me? Bai Xianzi transformed? No! That's you. What he said to you just now. It was not wrong. He was formed by your desire. The stronger your desire, the stronger his strength. In other words, you, Ye Kai, don't have the strength to defeat me yet. You can think about it, from the moment you obtained the Clairvoyance Ability until now... Is the obsession and desire in your heart growing bigger and bigger? More and more arrogant, more and more like going against your original intention? Perhaps, you are willing to give up your life for the woman you love. But let me ask you, if your team is in trouble... If you need your life to be saved, will you also give up your life without hesitation? Will you give up the difficult and incomparably powerful strength of this life just for the sake of all your teammates who might be wiped out tomorrow? "
Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi lightly waved her nine furry tails and explained word by word to Ye Kai.
"My... my desire? Going against the law? In the end... sacrifice his life for his teammates? I... "
Ye Kai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank.
Bai Xianzi's words did not seem to be baseless, nor were they baseless, right? Then, was he really like what he had said...
Did it go smoothly? It was indeed going very well!
Ye Kai knew that ever since the appearance of the Clairvoyance Ability, he had been in the Golden Wealth and his status. He now had a leap that he didn't even dare to think about in the past. However, this kind of improvement was just a natural course of action for Ye Kai. It was only a matter of time before the situation developed. As such, Ye Kai didn't really calm down to think about whether it was too "smooth." Now that he thought about it, just like what Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi had said, it was really too smooth!
Although he had encountered danger during this period of time, he was only shocked. There was no real life and death test. Even if there were a few times when he faced life and death, the God of Luck still favored him time and time again. All of this, although it wasn't all of Ye Kai's free will. However, what the Nine-tailed Fox had said was true!
Ye Kai knew that he had a heavy burden on him. However, he only thought that if the team was in trouble, he would stand up for them. However, he never thought that he would really use his own life to exchange for the lives of ordinary teammates in the team...
In this world, death could happen at any time. It was not strange that Ye Kai was used to it. He also had a certain immunity to the death of teammates. He would also feel heartache, but Ye Kai had never thought about it. If one day, he would also become one of those teammates who "casually" died.
"Why... why... Am I selfish? But, if I die, there will no longer be a strong leader, no one will be able to replace me and bring more people to live on... "
The words" another self "and Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi kept appearing in Ye Kai's mind.
"If things go too smoothly, it will only make him lose his mind. It would make him slowly think that no matter what he did, it is necessary, it is necessary! That way, we will be willing to let him get hurt a few more times. Bleed a little more blood. If possible, he won't be able to win against a few of them. Opponents who are forced to bend their knees temporarily, that would be great!"
The yellow-robed man with the golden mask stood with his hands behind his back. He stood beside the Nine-tailed Fox like a javelin. He seemed to be talking to himself and Bai Xianzi at the same time.
"He should have realized something by now. Let him think about it. There are benefits too. The road ahead... It all depends on him. If he could overcome these inner demons... Then his realm... He'll definitely be able to take another step forward, and not just obtain a few decent cultivation methods that can be compared to this. "
Bai Xianzi nodded her head, indicating that she agreed with the golden-masked man's words.
In front of him, Ye Kai had already entered his own world. He didn't even hear the conversation of the two people beside him.
After another hour or so, Ye Kai still didn't come out of his sealed spatial zone.
"Alright, he shouldn't be able to figure it out in such a short period of time. Bai Xianzi, you can continue. I will leave first." The yellow-robed man with the golden mask looked at Ye Kai, who was still frowning, and said to Bai Xianzi, who was beside him. He did not stay any longer. His body became light and disappeared into the air.
"Pa!"
Bai Xianzi snapped her fingers. Ye Kai suddenly woke up from his chaotic thoughts.
"Don't think about it anymore. If you think about it again, you will be mentally deranged. This is not something that can be figured out in a day or two. Wait until you really understand it. When you truly grow up, I'll give you a gift... Oh no, perhaps it is a gift that you gave yourself. It's more appropriate. "
Ye Kai smiled bitterly. He knew that he had fallen into a state of extreme contradiction just now. Moreover, up until now, that contradiction, or perhaps it should be said that it was a question, a knot that had yet to be solved.
"Is that so? A gift that I gave myself? What could it be? "
Ye Kai's question clearly had a feeling that he wasn't in a good state.
"Hehehehe, don't be discouraged. You will know when the time comes. Bai Xianzi also hopes that you can defeat yourself as soon as possible!" Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi laughed softly again.
Ye Kai's expression was a little lonely. An extremely ordinary area in his heart had been completely blown up today.
"Then, Miss Bai Xianzi, can we begin the third test?"
Bai Xianzi tilted her head and looked at Ye Kai. She smiled and said, "Hehehehe, everyone has a heart demon. Including Bai Xianzi. Inner demons were far more powerful than she had imagined. So, you don't have to care about how pathetic you are in front of these mental demons. Bai Xianzi had confidence in you. Hehehehe... Ye Kai, cheer up. Let's go. Let's begin the third test! "
" What is the third test? Where is the location? "
Ye Kai forced himself to focus and looked at Bai Xianzi with a blank expression as he asked.
"Oh? I almost forgot! I'm sorry. Hehe..."
Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi laughed like a child," Bai Xianzi likes the lake under this month's night. The first two tests are in the lake and the third one is naturally no exception. Follow me to the bottom of the lake! "
Bai Xianzi pointed at the lake's surface and once again formed a transparent air barrier around her body and went down bit by bit.
"Putong!"
Ye Kai also temporarily cast aside his distracting thoughts. He took a deep breath and jumped into the lake.
In the lake, Bai Xianzi did not speak. She only communicated with Ye Kai in her spiritual world. Anyway, this was her spiritual world. She could do whatever she wanted. It was not difficult at all.
"Ye Kai, look over there!"
Bai Xianzi's eyes fell on a certain spot at the bottom of the lake.
Ye Kai followed her gaze and saw that it was about thirty to forty meters away. The lake water was suddenly no longer calm. It was a huge whirlpool with a diameter of three meters. It was rapidly spinning, bringing along the surrounding sand, fishes, shrimps, water and stones. Untired, it spun quickly in circles.
"Bai Xianzi likes peace. That vortex is the biggest thing that she doesn't like. So, hehe, Ye Kai, please use your own strength to break this vortex!"
The Nine-tailed Fox acted as if it was pulling Ye Kai along with his family. It was casual and calm.
"What? Miss Bai Xianzi, you didn't say anything wrong, right?! Using his own strength... to break the vortex? Miss Bai Xianzi, forgive Ye Kai for being blunt, but drawing a knife to cut the water flow is even more fluid. This natural phenomenon, doesn't seem to be something that we can use manpower to change, right? The phenomenon of a punch being able to turn a waterfall upside down was only in the cartoons. What an exaggerated description!"
Ye Kai felt that it was a bit incomprehensible and unreasonable, so he blurted out his own doubts.
"Oh, let the waterfall flow backwards? This is a good idea. Looks like I haven't had much contact with the human world. Hehehehe... Otherwise, you can choose to break the vortex. "Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi smiled slyly and said to Ye Kai," I think you should let the waterfall flow backwards. "
"Stop! Miss Bai Xianzi, are you serious? How is it possible..."
"Don't forget, Ye Kai. The current you, no matter if it is your spirit or not. If this doesn't work... Why is your sword able to slash out Sword Qi? Your body, after being hit by a bullet... Can you still not die? ! Why are your eyes filled with the envy of billions of people?!"
Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Xianzi's long hair fluttered in the wind.
"Impossible, is it? If you had judged the result before you tried it out, hmph! Then, you will definitely not be able to complete it! If you give up, then forget it, I will not force you. I have misjudged you. You have already completed two tests. According to the previous agreement, I won't let you go. But now, Bai Xianzi is no longer interested in you. There is no need to try the third test anymore. Five minutes later. Take your team and scram! "
