In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#359 - Unbeatable

"The Black Storm is leaving the military fortress and returning to the Blade Beast activity area!"

The resounding shouts triggered cheers throughout the command center.

It was as if they had won a difficult battle or killed a Pillar Blade Beast.

Fu Jian was no longer at his command post.

Dongfang Zhenghong, who was temporarily serving as the general coordinator, clenched his fist tightly as he watched the scene on the large screen.

The screen showed:

The Black Storm, enveloped in rolling black smoke, was chasing a supersonic fighter jet through the air. The fighter jet was already approaching its maximum speed, but the Black Storm behind it was constantly closing the distance.

In the fighter jet's cockpit, Ling Tong was covered in blood, looking terrifying.

But her vital signs were not showing many problems.

She used her injuries to lure the Black Storm.

This scene made Dongfang Zhenghong feel a little unbelievable, as if the Black Storm, after falling into this state of frenzied killing, would still care about Ling Tong's safety.

What is this?

This is… love!

Dongfang Zhenghong was filled with emotion.

For over a hundred years, the human Golden Age's films and television works promoted the idea that 'love can save the world'. Now, he had finally seen proof of it.

In the past, they were full of love, but they were slaughtered by Blade Beasts wielding their blade limbs and wearing powerful armor, leading them to firmly believe in the creed that 'only cannons and planes can save humanity'.

However, Dongfang Zhenghong didn't have much time for sentimentality.

He quickly adjusted his thinking, constantly issuing orders, and methodically mobilizing resources from all sides to protect Ling Tong so that she could penetrate as deeply as possible into the Blade Beast-occupied area.

Soon, Dongfang Zhenghong discovered that:

The problem now was that the Black Storm, after being corrupted, was getting closer and closer to Ling Tong's fighter jet.

What would be the consequences if the two came into contact?

If something happened to Ling Tong, Dongfang Zhenghong wouldn't be able to explain it to Wang Zheng.

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his palm.

Suddenly, a report came from the side: "Commander! Zheng Shiduo is requesting communication!"

"Hmm? Connect him!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Shiduo's projection immediately appeared on the side of the command center's main screen.

He shouted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother Wang may have regained a bit of his sanity! The key factor is Gao Huating's singing! We need to find a way to get Gao Huating's singing into Brother Wang's ears! Not through radio, but through sound waves, actual singing!"

Dongfang Zhenghong nodded: "We will arrange the fastest fighter jet…"

"And we can't let her get too close to Brother Wang, he might directly tear her into pieces and devour her soul!"

Dongfang Zhenghong: …

They had to let Wang Zheng hear Gao Huating's singing, and also keep Gao Huating at a safe distance from Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng's current physical flying speed was already close to catching up with their new fighter jets!

"First, let Gao Huating take off, and you guys try your best to protect her!"

Dongfang Zhenghong frowned and ordered:

"Commander-in-Chief is preparing to attack. I'll apply to see if we can let Gao Huating move with the Commander-in-Chief and the others."

"Yes!"

Zheng Shiduo raised his hand in a salute.

He finally remembered the basic etiquette of the military.

Dongfang Zhenghong's efficiency was very high. Within a few minutes, he had completed the front and rear communication and coordination.

Gao Huating was being sent to the transport plane where Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian was located. She would wear protective armor and follow Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian, Black Shell Instructor, and other D5's strongest individual combat forces… to attack at the opportune moment.

The words 'opportune moment' actually had a lot of meaning.

Currently, the Black Storm had been lured away by Ling Tong and had entered the Blade Beast territory for the second time, and was rushing towards a large Blade Beast nest at high speed.

This was beneficial to humans.

As long as the Black Storm continued to kill Blade Beasts instead of attacking humans, they would continue according to the original plan and rescue it before and after the Black Storm ran out of energy.

They would spare no expense to rescue the Black Storm.

If the Black Storm rushed back to human territory later, then the 'average age of one hundred years' commando team formed by Fu Jian and the others would have to try to stop the Black Storm.

This was their opportune moment.

Similarly, if the Black Storm showed no signs of entering human territory later, they could also not use Gao Huating.

Dongfang Zhenghong clearly knew these principles.

He quickly thought and gave several suggestions, which were quickly adopted by Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian.

This greatly boosted Dongfang Zhenghong's spirits.

"Commander! A large number of flying Blade Beasts are breaking through at low altitude! Their target is likely the fighter jet piloted by Colonel Ling Tong!"

"Stop them!"

Dongfang Zhenghong shouted loudly:

"Tell all units, don't be stingy with ammunition! Long-range firepower delivery must not stop! Suppress the Blade Beasts comprehensively in this area, and bomb repeatedly!"

"Yes!"

On the big screen, the black shadow and the fighter jet were getting closer and closer.

The Blade Beast群 that was trying to surge in from a distance was steadily suppressed by the long-range firepower covering it from all directions.

This situation lasted for a few minutes, and a series of emerald green light balls appeared on the edge of the big screen.

Then, these light balls became overwhelming.

This was a common air defense method used by Blade Beasts.

The sound of special pterosaurs breaking through the air appeared in the high sky, followed by several complete aerospace carrier formations dispatched by the space fortress.

The air battle was becoming fierce.

Now, a new problem had arrived.

"Command center," Ling Tong's voice suddenly sounded, "I need technical guidance… How can I lure the Black Storm back to the underground Blade Beast nest again? Its current locked target is obviously me."

Dongfang Zhenghong pondered slightly.

The first thought that popped into his mind was to let Ling Tong rush underground.

But then he immediately killed this idea.

That was the way of thinking that a battlefield commander should have, but not the way of thinking that a responsible leader should have.

"Commander-in-Chief, we may need Gao Huating's singing to briefly awaken Wang Zheng, so that Colonel Ling Tong can escape."

"I'll give it a try," Fu Jian responded in a deep voice.

At the same time.

The focus of the entire field, within that black shadow.

…

"Save me…"

"Sir, there are humans ahead…"

"Damn it, I can't stop!"

Familiar voices suddenly entered Wang Jixuan's ears.

He seemed to wake up from a half-sleep, but what he saw when he opened his eyes was not 'in front of him', but a pitch-black world.

He was the only light in the darkness.

Wang Jixuan was stunned for a moment, and then the manic, cold killing intent attacked again, and this little bit of light seemed to be extinguished.

No!

'Supreme Tai Star, respond to changes without stopping, wisdom is clear, mind is calm, and spirit is at peace!'

Wang Jixuan chanted the mantra at top speed, and the little bit of light swayed gently, quickly becoming a flame, and as Wang Jixuan continued to chant the mantra, the flame turned into a fist-sized flame.

Part of his sanity had broken free from the demonic thoughts.

This feeling was very peculiar.

He could clearly feel what his body was doing and he could perceive it, and it was his soul that controlled his body.

But at this moment, when he looked at his soul, it was like looking at a monster condensed from demonic energy.

That was not him.

That was him.

All his negative emotions were mixed together, and the demonic thoughts that remained every time he used demonic powers had completely swallowed his reason.

Now, Wang Jixuan's return to reason was actually much earlier than he had expected.

His previous plan was to fight the Blade Beasts until he was exhausted. When the magic power and demonic energy in his body were almost depleted, then the Mahayana remnant soul he left with Mu Dan could directly take over the body and let himself pass through this demonic tribulation without risk.

But the situation was more complicated than he thought.

He almost killed into the human fortress.

The cunning Jialiluo used ordinary Blade Beasts to build a killing corridor, leading him, after he was corrupted, to the military fortress of the human realm.

Fortunately, he didn't make a big mistake.

According to his perception, it seemed that… he heard Gao Huating's singing, and that mysterious power pulled back a trace of his reason, and then he felt that the forbidden jade talisman he had left to Ling Tong was triggered and saw a flash of blood.

Something happened to her?

Wang Jixuan's reason chanted scriptures while using his only controllable perception ability to find and verify.

After a lot of effort, Wang Jixuan finally figured it out.

Ling Tong should have deliberately stabbed herself.

Combined with Gao Huating's singing that suddenly appeared just now, he woke up this trace of reason.

At this moment, he was chasing Ling Tong forward, his instinct was to protect his Dao companion, but now, Wang Jixuan couldn't be sure what form the protection was.

If it was just pulling Ling Tong out of the fighter jet, that would be fine.

He was afraid that when the killing intent arose, he would directly hurt Ling Tong, or that he would grab Ling Tong and rush into the Blade Beast nest together, Ling Tong would probably have an accident…

Wang Jixuan felt a little anxious in his heart.

It was the emergence of this anxious emotion that caused the surrounding killing intent to suddenly increase greatly, and the light of his reason was almost directly extinguished.

Calm down, concentrate!

Wang Jixuan chanted the calming mantra at top speed, visualizing the Demon Subduing Star Chart in his heart, holding his breath and urging this aura to conquer the demonic energy ocean.

Like a candle in the wind.

Like a wooden boat in the sea.

Like a reef gradually eroded by the waves.

Like a mountain standing tall in the great flood!

The top of Wang Jixuan's head seemed to be flashing with stars all over the sky, and the war in the sea of ​​consciousness had achieved phased results.

He exerted his strength violently, and a beam of light illuminated the sky and the earth in the darkness.

Reason barely returned.

Wang Jixuan quickly issued accurate instructions to his corrupted body, lowered his head and drilled into the ground, abandoning the fighter jet piloted by Ling Tong that was constantly circling.

At this time, he still had to rely on himself.

Wang Jixuan didn't dare to be careless, nor did he have the extra 'strength' to transmit his voice to others. At this moment, he was constantly chanting scriptures, reciting mantras, and visualizing stars, trying his best to awaken his Dao heart.

With the Mahayana remnant soul not within his body, Wang Jixuan inevitably felt some apprehension.

However, he truly didn't dare to let the possessed version of himself control the Mahayana remnant soul. If killing intent arose and he directly burned the Mahayana remnant soul, annihilating this planet... then he would truly suffer a great loss.

However, the Mahayana remnant soul was also the result of his own cultivation.

Right now, he might not necessarily be unable to fight against his own demonic thoughts!

Buzz!

Boom!

His body crashed into the earth, using遁法 to rush towards the place where the King-level Blade Beasts were hiding. The black smoke around him transformed into tens of thousands of strands, like Yin soldiers and ghost messengers, rapidly harvesting the souls of the Blade Beasts in the underground ant-like passages.

Blade Beasts began to suffer casualties;

The karma of killing rose again!

Demonic thoughts surged!

Even though Wang Jixuan had prepared himself mentally, the light of reason he had just condensed was almost directly crushed by the violent demonic thoughts.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, chanting scriptures, reciting mantras, and visualizing, while constantly recalling the good things he had experienced along the way.

Scenes of cultivation in the mountains quickly flashed by;

Because he had recalled them too many times, many scenes had already faded;

But soon, new scenes began to appear.

The sexy female physician who insisted on taking advantage of him;

Zhou Zhengde, who wore a smart uniform and was initially thought to be a ruthless character, but was actually a soft-hearted person;

Sitting on a park bench, the disabled but determined mechanical girl, her posture while reading was so elegant, that temperament that mixed aloofness and peace, with a hint of childishness but also giving people a very mature feeling on her young and pretty face...

Sister Wan, who cooked delicious food and was mature and experienced;

Uncle Tai, the workaholic;

Little Qi, who liked to slack off and play video games;

The boy lying in the transparent box, deprived of emotions;

The neighbor's virtual singer, full of youthful vitality, whose singing had a strange effect;

And, uh, crystal butt plug... he couldn't think about that, it would easily fuel the demonic thoughts, skip it, skip it.

Scene after scene, moment after moment, person after person;

Wang Jixuan's Dao heart suddenly calmed down.

He entered a very mysterious realm in a trance, as if he was observing various parts of his body from a third-person perspective, and all his sensory organs regained their perception.

He seemed to see another self.

There was no other soul, and there were no inner demons at work.

It was himself;

The self who was obsessed with becoming an immortal;

The self who tried the mortal world and began to become infatuated with it;

The self who liked to study the art of weapon refining, but whose alchemy always exploded was himself;

Now this one, who had fallen into madness, only knew how to kill, and seemed to have his mind controlled by demonic techniques, was also himself.

Demonic techniques were just techniques, they only amplified the desires in his heart.

Desire for destruction, desire for killing, desire for abuse, desire for fear, desire for shock, desire for joy...

The so-called demon was actually just the desires that one could not control, which resonated with the Dao heart.

Hadn't he already realized this before?

When he annihilated Old Sophie, he became a Buddha with one thought and a demon with another; now the situation was just more complicated, the demonic thoughts were out of control, and he had just regained some reason.

Wang Jixuan quietly watched himself slaughter the Blade Beasts.

He had no sympathy for the Blade Beasts, and even less guilt in his heart.

And this, in fact, was the premise for him to be able to think calmly.

Demonic cultivators were not completely indulging in demons;

Although most of the famous experts among them eventually turned into demons.

However, the cultivation techniques of the Demonic Sect actually required cultivators to control their demonic thoughts and refine them.

What the Buddhist cultivators pursued was a flawless Buddhist heart, born in the dust but not stained by it, and many Buddhist temples would require their disciples to be pure and desireless;

But there were also the practice methods of the Joyful Zen in Buddhism.

And their Wangxian Valley belonged to the Daoist sect...

What is Dao?

Nature.

Aren't the seven emotions and six desires something that people naturally have?

All kinds of negative emotions, all kinds of desires, aren't they also something that one inherently has?

Why fear them like tigers? In fact, it is better to accept this side of oneself.

His own experience was so unique that the predecessors of the sect had not experienced it, and the lessons they left behind could not be effective.

Wang Jixuan's sea of consciousness was quiet for a few seconds, and then Wang Jixuan suddenly let this bit of rational light explode, sinking into this darkness.

Countless noises suddenly rang in his ears;

Living beings were crying and wailing, and he was constantly sinking.

Regret and unwillingness repeatedly surged;

Happiness and loss swayed left and right;

None of them are me;

All of them are me.

Poor Daoist Wang Jixuan;

I wish for a slow and weary mortal world, I wish to reach for the moon in the nine heavens.

Unrestrained, fearless, rootless, drifting, without enemies.

Wang Jixuan's sea of consciousness suddenly bloomed with golden light;

The killing intent was still strong, and a thin figure appeared in the center of the sea of consciousness, wearing simple jeans and a white vest, quietly sitting in meditation.

A black shadow appeared on the left, and a Daoist dressed in a green robe appeared on the right. The two looked at each other, and then disappeared with a crash.

The rolling demonic energy suddenly surged towards the thin figure, and the thin figure absorbed it all, but did not have any filth on itself, and the corners of its mouth still carried a faint smile.

Wang Jixuan's body was now standing still on the corpse of the King-level Blade Beast.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of coldness.

If before, he was unconsciously killing, then from now on...

He was doing it on purpose.

"Dear, go back and heal, Lao Fu, you guys retreat."

Wang Jixuan suddenly spoke, his figure flying forward, with flying swords blooming around him, but the rolling demonic energy was even more fierce.

"I'm fine, take advantage of the fact that the demonic energy hasn't been completely refined by me, kill more Blade Beasts.

"Peony, prepare to meet me."

The 'Average Over Hundred' commando team, which was about to carry out an airborne operation with Gao Huating, barely stopped.
