Chapter 300.
In the pure white space, the two Holy Spirit Evil Demon Bodies were twenty meters tall, and after they appeared, they stared at each other.
Even in this pure white space that was like a void, the might emanating from the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Bodies made people feel oppressed.
The two Holy Spirit Evil Demon Bodies, identical to each other, looked extremely shocking.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes and turned the long black blade in his hand.
The Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body did the same, making the same movements as Zhou An.
On the opposite side, the Heart Demon similarly pulled out a blade, and the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body behind it also turned its long blade in the same manner.
“The same?” Zhou An said indifferently, “In that case, it seems that what I have, you also have.”
The Heart Demon’s expression was grim, and his tone was regal, “I am you, and you are me, what you know, I know, but here, is my home ground.”
As the words fell, the sky was filled with ebony-blue colored blade lights, densely packed, like a tsunami, sweeping towards Zhou An.
Zhou An similarly swung his sword, the same ebony-blue colored blade light.
The two collided together, and in just a moment, the roars rose and fell, and the huge waves of sound, along with the terrifying might, wrapped the entire piece of pure white space, all wrapped up.
Space was crumbling, where the azure-colored blade light flashed, it was as if even the sun could not cover it up.
Endless waves of wind, endless terror.
Zhou An withdrew his blade, a look of excitement on his face.
He did not say one more word, but raised his left hand.
An iron cauldron floated above his palm and was held in his backhand.
The iron cauldron was like a huge mountain that covered the sky and descended towards the Heart Demon from the top.
As the iron cauldron fell, the Heart Demon made the same move.
Still the iron cauldron, still the Pot Zhenfa.
The two collided with each other, and the technique of the Pot Suppression Technique was used by the duo to its fullest extent.
“It’s useless, here, this is my home ground.”
The Heart Demon retrieved the iron pot and laughed grimly, “Right now, we are still evenly matched, but here, you will be affected by your surroundings, whereas I will not.”
“Do you feel it, your air, being hindered, becoming no longer round and free?”
“I, on the other hand, remain as I was before, and will not be affected in the slightest.”
“I said that you would die, and you won’t be able to live.”
Zhou An sniffed, felt it carefully, and frowned.
He did feel it, the air in his body, becoming somewhat stagnant.
This kind of influence, seemed to be minimal, but as time passed, the influence would gradually expand.
When it expanded to a certain extent, it would cause a life and death crisis, allowing the opposite side to take advantage of it.
“Thinking of a way?”
The Heart Demon slowly stepped forward, his face indifferent: “Unfortunately, I’m not going to give you the chance to think of a way either.”
“I will tear you apart, replace you, and everything you have, is mine.”
As the words fell, the Heart Demon, this time, was on fire.
Whatever Zhou An had, the Heart Demon had.
And at this moment, when the various attacks came together, they carried an unrivaled might, as if they were going to destroy the entire heaven and earth.
When he raised his eyes to look, there was a terror, and wherever he passed, all was silent.
Countless attacks, countless killing intent.
Zhou An could not think in time and similarly raised his sword and pot.
The attacks of the two, continued to unfold.
Rumbling sounds, resounded continuously.
As time passed, Zhou An felt that the air in his body, had become more and more sluggish.
This feeling made him understand that if it continued, he was only a matter of time before he died.
But now, it seemed that he had really fallen into a desperate situation.
The opponent’s strength and skills were exactly the same as his own.
Not only that, he had an unimaginable disadvantage in this pure white space.
The other party, on the other hand, was getting more and more courageous the more they fought.
In the long run, it was impossible to win.
At this moment, the feeling of sluggishness had grown deeper and deeper.
Zhou An did not dodge in an instant, and was struck by an ebony-blue blade light, and the golden light that cast his body, in an instant, fell apart.
Behind him, after the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body shattered, Zhou An’s injuries returned as before.
“You can’t.”
The Heart Demon said indifferently, “What, the Knife and Pot Double Jedi that once made the Jianghu tremble, the Zhou An that made the younger generation unable to raise their heads, the Si Jing of the Zhen Gui Division, the red man of the Great Chu Kingdom, now, are you going to die as well?”
“Hehe, you’re just a heart demon.”
Zhou An laughed coldly, “The title of the Blade and Pot Duo Jie is me, not you, the one who crosses over the younger generation is also me, not you, the Si Jing, the Red Man of the Great Chu Kingdom, the same is me, none of them are you.”
“Even you, it’s because of me, it’s you.”
The Heart Demon sniffed, anger showing on his face, his voice trembling as if a volcano was about to erupt, “A man who is about to die, a mouthful of words, nothing more than that!”
He unleashed another attack, sweeping towards Zhou An.
Zhou An looked at the approaching ebony-blue colored blade light and suddenly said, “Perhaps, you are not a Heart Demon.”
At this moment, the ebony-blue colored blade light suddenly stopped when it was not far from Zhou An.
“What do you mean?” The Heart Demon frowned.
“After I was hit by you just now, I suddenly felt that you might not be a Heart Demon.”
Zhou An faintly said, “Perhaps, you are my other personality.”
The Heart Demon’s hand, which was holding the knife, stopped violently.
On his face, a tangle of colors appeared, as if Zhou An had said something, wanting to speak, but unable to do so.
Zhou An took a step forward and continued, “It is impossible for me to have a Heart Demon, from the very beginning, you were lying to me, when I came here, after saying that I was hit by a dump truck, and then letting me meet those creeps that I had killed, you were testing me to see if I had completely forgotten myself.”
“At that point, you could have killed me, but you couldn’t because at that point, my personality was not complete, so you took it a step further and set a trap.”
“When I opened the door and saw you just now, you could have done it without evoking my memories at all, but you did so because you wanted to make my personality whole again.”
“And what you did before laid out in my mind the fact that you’re just a mind demon, but you’re not a mind demon.”
The Heart Demon’s grip on the knife grew tighter and tighter, and finally slowly loosened, “How did you find out?”
Zhou An laughed out loud, “From the time I came to this world, I haven’t had any heart demons, when my aunt first appeared, she was cut off by me with a single knife, and later, I killed my way through, and I have been sitting in this position from Settlement County until now.”
“If there were to be a heart demon, it would have been there a long time ago, and you, are nothing more than a personality that creates a sense of detachment, and because I still haven’t accepted this world up to this day, that’s why you exist.”
“So what?” The Heart Demon maniacally danced its long blade, “Even so, I will still be able to devour you, and at that time, I will be the real you, and you will fly away in ashes.”
After being seen through by Zhou An, the expression on the Heart Demon’s face, apart from being maniacal, there was also a kind of madness and despair.
It was as if he was a child who had done something wrong and was being pointed out, and that unspeakable feeling of humiliation caused him to stab his long blade straight towards Zhou An.
Zhou An did not dodge, but allowed the long knife, to pour into his chest.
The pain came, but Zhou An did not change his face.
The Heart Demon was flabbergasted, looking at the wound below the long knife, and subconsciously asked, “Why don’t you dodge? Not fight?”
“Why would I dodge? To fight?”
Zhou An shook his head, and in his tone, there was a hint of emotion, “When I accept you, then there is no need to hide, no need to fight.”
The Heart Demon froze and remained speechless for a long time.
He suddenly plunged his long knife in another centimeter, “Then you will die.”
Zhou An continued to shake his head, “Then before I die, can I say a few more words?”
“You say.” A hint of coldness flashed in the Heart Demon’s eyes.
“After I recognize everything clearly, here, you won’t be able to hurt me.”
The corner of Zhou An’s mouth rose slightly.
In this place, it was his mind that had come in through the Hundred Formations Refining the Heart, and here, no one knew what it was that he had encountered.
Only he himself was clear.
If the other party was a heart demon, perhaps today was truly a battle of life and death.
But if it was just a second personality, then everything, it would be nothing more than that.
He is the main personality, he is the dominant everything, the other party is just a second personality.
When Zhou An was able to recognize everything and accept it all, he was the dominant one here.
Thinking of this, Zhou An’s heart moved.
In the next moment, the long knife in the Heart Demon’s hand suddenly disappeared.
The Heart Demon looked at the empty piece in his hand, and his face was filled with a disheveled look.
He placed his hand aside and lowered his head, “Kill if you want to.”
Yes, just like Zhou An said, he had completely failed.
All he had done was to let Zhou An have complete memories, and then let Zhou An think that he was a mind demon, compete with him for strength, and ultimately be decapitated and devoured by him.
But when Zhou An was awake, everything would be a passing cloud, because Zhou An had absolute dominance, and all of this was extended by Zhou An when he was awake.
Therefore, the Heart Demon at this moment, was already helpless, he could only be slaughtered.
Any more resistance would be useless.
Zhou An did not reply, but instead, with complicated eyes, he looked ahead at another person who looked the same as himself.
He then waved his hand, and the milky white space around them disappeared, and they were, at this moment, sitting in a quiet room.
On the table in the room, there was a pot of wine.
Zhou An raised his hand and poured a cup for the other party, as well as pouring a cup for himself.
The Heart Demon was slightly stunned, he was a little confused as to why Zhou An didn’t just kill him.
If after killing him, perhaps everything would be over once and for all.
He wouldn’t have stayed alone in this boundless world.
“It’s tiring, isn’t it.”
Zhou An lifted his wine glass and said, “You are the second personality that has been hiding in the bottom of my heart, unable to see anything, unable to think of anything, and can only be alone in this boundless world.”
The Heart Demon sniffed and subconsciously raised his wine glass, then touched it with Zhou An and placed it on the table after taking a sip.
“Loneliness and loneliness, I have endured both.”
The Heart Demon revealed a bitter smile, “I’m already used to it, so I will seize every opportunity I can to get out, but you’re too strong, even if I try everything, I can’t influence you.”
“That Vertical Leader, when he was in the Linglong Painting, he didn’t just do it to simply kill you, he left a backhanded move, and separated a sliver of his power, which ultimately gave me the possibility to turn around.”
“But I didn’t expect that in the end, it was still discovered by you.”
“Not to talk about him.” Zhou An poured another glass of wine, lifted the glass to clash with the Heart Demon’s glass, and after drinking it all, placed it on the table, “Today, we will only talk about you.”
“Talk about me? What do I have to talk about, I’m just a defeated general.” The Heart Demon laughed to himself, as if he felt that one cup of wine was not enough, he poured himself another cup and drank it down, “A general of a defeated army, what is there to talk about, are you talking to me with the stance of a victor now?”
“We are the same person.” Zhou An shook his head, “I don’t want to kill you because I want to accept you completely.”
“Accept me?” The Heart Demon couldn’t figure out what Zhou An meant by this.
Zhou An stretched out his hand and said, “After killing you, I will be equally separated from this world, and a new existence will slowly be born afterward, perhaps the one after the birth will be a different one and no longer be you, but that will all affect me.”
The Heart Demon thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, no matter who it is, he will affect you, and as long as you still have a sense of estrangement and disconnection from this world, then you will once again allow me to appear, and there will be no way to resolve it again.”
“So then I can’t leave any loose ends.”
Zhou An placed his hand on the table and said with a smile.
His trip, through the Hundred Formations to refine his heart, was to resolve the aftermath, and if these things didn’t disappear, then it wouldn’t be considered resolved.
Although it would appear in the future, perhaps not knowing when, it would still appear.
If it was to be done, it had to be done thoroughly.
“How do you want to settle it?” The Heart Demon asked.
Zhou An extended his hand and placed it on the table.
“There are things that should be put down, and they should be put down completely… You and I together, we are one in ourselves, so why should we be separated from each other, don’t you think so?”
The Heart Demon looked at Zhou An’s palm and fell into deep thought, after a while, he shook his head.
“You are prepared to accept me completely, if I agree, I will disappear from here on out, there will be no more me in this world.”
“So what?” Zhou An continued, “We were originally one, not just me, but you, you won’t disappear, because we originally existed together, and from now on, I will have no more separation and alienation from this world, and all of this, is what you want to see.”
“You want to change this world, but you want to remove the alienation and separation, completely, from now on, there is no difference between you and me, and in the future, it will already be eliminated, so what’s wrong with that?”
The Heart Demon lapsed into silence.
Zhou An once again poured him a glass of wine, and also refilled his own empty glass, and then lifted the glass up, quietly not speaking, just looking at the Heart Demon with calm eyes.
The Heart Demon sank in for a long time, then sighed, lifting his wine glass up and clashing it with Zhou An’s, “I promise.”
In the end, Zhou An’s words had completely convinced him.
They were originally together, there was no such thing as you and me.
All of this was merely because of a sense of alienation towards this world after Zhou An came to it.
When there was no more sense of alienation, none of that existed anymore.
Just as he had said before, he was Zhou An, and Zhou An was him.
After the wine cups of the two, clashed together, the Heart Demon downed the wine in the cup in one gulp.
“Here, there has been no one to talk to me, I didn’t expect it to be so enjoyable.”
“In the future, the road will be left to you alone.”
Zhou An said with a smile, “I will slowly walk to the very peak of this world, reaching a point where everyone cannot look up to, and eventually get completely free.”
“I hope so.” The grimness on the Heart Demon’s face completely disappeared, turning into a face of spontaneity.
His body, which gradually glowed with a white light, eventually disappeared completely in the midst of Zhou An’s gaze.
Zhou An felt that the feeling of being separated from the world had disappeared.
At this moment, he had never felt such a clear feeling before, as if everything had returned to its original form.
“Settled.” Zhou An put his hand down.
The scenery around him, was gradually changing, slowly becoming blurred, and eventually turning into nothingness.
And Zhou An closed his eyes and waited patiently, waiting until everything had disappeared into nothingness, he found himself back in that cave once again, sitting on top of a futon.
Zhou An stood up and looked at his hands, slowly clenching them into fists, “In this way, I will not have any weaknesses in my mind.”
With his matter settled, then everything came to an end.
Within the shadows, Black Jade stepped out from within, cocking his head and sizing up Zhou An as if he wanted to see through him.
Zhou An touched Black Jade’s head and said with a smile, “What’s wrong, as if you haven’t seen me before.”
Black Night said in a confused manner, “You’ve changed.”
“Where have I changed?” Zhou An asked.
“Can’t say.” Black Jade gently shook her head, “But it always feels more intimate.”
Saying that, Black Jade’s little head also stopped thinking about these things and pulled Zhou An’s arm, with a very dependent look.
Zhou An smiled, “Let’s go, Eunuch Wei and Elder Yue Ming, they should have waited for a long time, they should let them see the results.”
The two of them stopped speaking and held each other, walking out of this pitch black cave.
Outside the cave, Eunuch Wei was with Yue Ming, patiently waiting.
From a distance, one could see that Eunuch Wei’s expression at this time was particularly constrained, as if standing here for one more minute would make his body feel uncomfortable.
The once enviable chivalrous couple in the jianghu, re-encountering at this time, this kind of awkwardness, was indeed there.
On the contrary, Yue Ming was more open about it.
Sometimes it was like this, when a man and a woman met after breaking up, the man would fall into a particularly tense mood.
Luckily, this tension and awkwardness did not appear for long, as Zhou An had already brought Black Jade with him and walked out from within the cave.
When Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An’s appearance, his frowning brows, finally relaxed.
“Our family knew that you would be able to get through this.” Eunuch Wei smiled and said, “From now on, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly, you, Zhou An, will no longer have any flaws, and will become a piece of iron, so we are relieved.”
Zhou An arched his hand and said, “Thank you Eunuch Wei for your help.”
Although the relationship between him and Eunuch Wei had long since eliminated the need to say any words of thanks, but Eunuch Wei had done such a great favor, it was still necessary to say what needed to be said.
Next to him, Yue Ming was in deep thought.
Seeing this, Zhou An thought that he hadn’t gotten rid of the heart demon on his side, and subconsciously asked, “Elder Yue Ming, what’s wrong?”
Yue Ming finally came back to his senses when Zhou An said this and shook his head, “Nothing, it’s just that I feel that it’s not the right time for you, the younger generation, to appear.”
Zhou An asked strangely, “Why do you say that?”
Yue Ming thought for a moment and said, “It should have allowed the younger generation to compete with each other and blossom, but now because of your existence, the younger generation can’t even hold their heads up, it’s really a case of when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers kill.”
“Take this Hundred Formation Refining Heart for example, you are actually the fastest one to come out from here.”
Zhou Xin said that his encounter inside was horrifying.
The various means of the Heart Demon were used in just the right way, and it was also a little bit close to catching the other side’s path.
Of course, this stuff all belonged to his secret, and he didn’t say it out loud, just a modest expression, stating that there was nothing to brag about.
At this moment, Zhou An’s matter had been completely resolved, and there was no need to communicate again.
Eunuch Wei felt uncomfortable if he stayed here for one more minute, so he made a look towards Zhou An, meaning that he could leave now.
Zhou An thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
After being away from Da Chu Kingdom for such a long time, it was indeed time to go back.
After returning, he would have to continue with his Liver Proficiency, striving to reach the All Saints Realm as soon as possible.
What’s more, with Eunuch Wei accompanying him on this trip, he would be free of any storms.
It would be foolish to have this kind of ride and not take it.
Yue Ming was a smart person, after all, he was also one of the existences that stood at the top of this world, and when he saw Eunuch Wei’s expression, he also knew that they were leaving.
“Old thing, I’m not as good as you, I don’t have much longevity left, but I’d love to, when you come to me one day, not for someone else’s business.” Yue Ming turned his head and looked at Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei fell into silence, then asked, “How much is left?”
Yue Ming shook his head, “Compared to an ordinary person, that’s a long time, but between you and me, it’s a lot worse.”
Eunuch Wei sighed, “Perhaps one day, it will come.”
Yue Ming also knew Eunuch Wei’s temperament, she didn’t persuade or say anything more, she turned around and left the cave.
“You guys can just return directly the way you came, the formation I have completely cleared, it will only return to normal after you guys leave.”
Soon, Yue Ming’s figure, disappeared into this dense forest.
Eunuch Wei looked at Yue Ming’s back, and when she had disappeared, he gave Zhou An a wink, meaning that he could leave.
The two of them got up one after the other and returned along the road, then they took to the air and flew towards the Great Chu Kingdom.
Zhou An turned back and looked at the dense forest behind him, realizing that the hundreds of thousands of formations had appeared, covering that forest tightly.
After flying for a while, he could no longer see the woods behind him, and only then did Zhou An turn his head.
Eunuch Wei led the way ahead and said without looking back, “When you go back, grab more time and improve your strength.”
Zhou An raised an eyebrow and asked, “What Eunuch Wei means is that the time for the army to send out the Barbarian Kingdom is approaching?”
Eunuch Wei nodded, then raised his head, looking at the white clouds and blue sky in the sky, and slowly said, “This world, I’m afraid that it’s going to be chaotic, and there’s order in the chaos, and the chaos might be favorable for you, and you’ll be famous from now on.”
Zhou An smiled, and then stopped speaking, followed behind Eunuch Wei, and continued to rush towards the Great Chu Kingdom.
After he returned from this trip, before sending out his troops to the Barbarian Kingdom, he planned to work day and night on his liver skills, striving to make more skills, to reach a qualitative change.
As for when he was soldiering off to the Barbarian Kingdom, if there was a chance that he could frustrate those enemies, he would also grab everything, especially the Vertical Leader.
Thinking of this, Zhou An suddenly remembered something, and it was very important.
Zhou An looked at Eunuch Wei and asked, “Eunuch Wei, Elder Yue Ming, is Emperor Feng Teng’s sister?”
Eunuch Wei was still feeling emotional, and after hearing Zhou An’s question, his body stiffened violently.
He stopped in mid-air and then sighed.
