Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 226 Qian Renxue's Justice
As soon as she entered the space and stood still, Qian Renxue saw an overwhelming number of evil soul beasts rushing towards her. They were a black mass and countless. Judging from the aura of these evil soul beasts, most of them were thousands of years old, and a few were tens of thousands of years old. However, there were really too many of them, and even an ordinary Titled Douluo would find it a bit tricky.

"Holy Sword!"

Qian Renxue went forward fearlessly. With Shang An in her body, she didn't need to worry about the divine test. She just had to charge forward.

"hiss!"

A ten thousand year old human-faced demon spider king suddenly attacked from the side, aiming its sharp spider legs at Qian Renxue's heart.

"The sun is really hot."

Qian Renxue casually shot a pure golden flame at the Human-Faced Demon Spider King. The flame, which was full of restraint towards evil, instantly ignited the Human-Faced Demon Spider and turned it into ashes in a moment.

Half an hour later, Qian Renxue stood in front of a pile of soul beast corpses. The sacred sword in her hand was still as pure white as before, without any blood, just like her.

However, the assessment did not seem to be over yet, and a path appeared in front of her.

Qian Renxue walked up without hesitation.

"Wang Wang!"

"Auntie Sun, look, this is the straw hat I made."

"Er Gou, you naughty boy, you sneaked out again."

"Lululu, my dad doesn't care about me."

What appeared before my eyes was a pastoral scene with interconnected paths and the sounds of chickens and dogs.

Qian Renxue stood at the entrance of the village, looking at everything in front of her with some doubts. Wasn't it to eliminate evil? But these were just ordinary people.

"Hey, is there an outsider here?"

Aunt Sun, who was carrying the vegetable basket, also saw Qian Renxue at this time. She was not shy at all, nor was she afraid of the sword in her hand. She walked forward enthusiastically and greeted her.

"This girl, is this your first time in Mingshan Village?"

"Mingshan Village?" Qian Renxue was very sure that she had never heard of such a place name.

"Yes, our Mingshan Village is protected by divine beasts and has been isolated from the outside world for many years. It is normal that you outsiders don't know about it."

As Aunt Sun spoke, she walked forward again and tried to hold Qian Renxue's hand, but Qian Renxue dodged her.

Aunt Sun was not annoyed, and invited earnestly: "Miss, you are the first person to come here in these years. Come to my house as a guest. We must treat you well."

"Okay." Qian Renxue thought for a moment, put away her sword and agreed. She wanted to see what other tricks this divine test had.

Aunt Sun immediately smiled happily and took Qian Renxue home, talking to her all the way.

Qian Renxue responded casually and followed Aunt Sun all the way. She also explored carefully and found that this seemed to be an ordinary village. The villagers were all ordinary people who didn't even have soul power.

But Qian Renxue always felt something was wrong. The appearance of such an ordinary village in the divine examination was problematic in itself.

The two soon came to a thatched hut surrounded by a low fence. The hut was not big but not small either. The outer door was made of two wooden boards. It looked like it could be kicked open with one foot, but it fit in with the natural atmosphere and made people feel relaxed and happy.

Aunt Sun walked forward and knocked on the door twice, "Lanhua, open the door quickly, there are guests coming."

Following Aunt Sun's shout, a timid little head with pigtails popped out from the crack of the door. When she saw Qian Renxue, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Mom, you brought guests back?"

"Yes, why don't you go and prepare the tea." Aunt Sun bolted the door and urged with a smile.

"okay."

"Please take a seat, guests."

Aunt Sun brought over a wooden stool, which was made of ordinary wood and was unpainted. It looked a bit shabby, but it was the best stool here. Then Lanhua came over with a ceramic cup and offered a cup of tea with tea foam floating on it.

"Here, sister, your tea."

When Lanhua handed over the tea, her big black eyes couldn't help but look at Qian Renxue. This elder sister is so beautiful! She is even prettier than the village beauty Cui'er. I wish I could be half as pretty as her.

"You are very beautiful too." Qian Renxue smiled and touched Lanhua's little head. She looked like a very simple little girl.

"Really?" Hearing Qian Renxue's praise, Lanhua couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, revealing two rows of teeth.

"Miss Qian, please don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home. I'll go kill a chicken to celebrate."

Aunt Sun smiled gently at Qian Renxue, then put on an apron and walked towards the small chicken coop.

Qian Renxue held the tea and watched all this quietly, but chose not to drink it.

"Sister, are you from outside? Is it fun outside?" Lanhua pulled a small stool and sat over, asking Qian Renxue curiously, her eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

"You haven't been out before?"

Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

"No, there are a lot of man-eating monsters out there. They will attack humans, and if you go out you will be eaten. Not even a bone will be left." When talking about those monsters, Lanhua clearly showed some fear.

"Monsters?" Are you talking about those soul beasts? Qian Renxue thought.

"Then won't you be attacked in the village?" Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows. She didn't feel that there was anything special about this village. If the monsters that the little girl was talking about were really those evil soul beasts, then this village would not be able to exist here safely.

"No, we are protected by divine beasts, and no monsters dare to come in." Lanhua said with a pious look in her eyes.

Mythical beast? Another mythical beast!
Qian Renxue frowned. It seemed that this village was related to the so-called divine beast. Could it be that this divine test was also related to it?

She was about to continue asking questions when suddenly Aunt Sun's voice came.

"Lanhua, come over and help wash the vegetables."

"Oh, okay." Lanhua responded quickly, stood up reluctantly, and said to Qian Renxue.

"Sister, you must tell me about the outside world later."

It can be seen that this somewhat rustic little girl is really interested in the outside world.

At dinner time,
There were only Lanhua and Aunt Sun in Aunt Sun's house. Aunt Sun specially slaughtered a chicken and made chicken soup to entertain Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue did not refuse, but the food that entered her mouth was actually burned into nothingness by the true fire of the sun.

Even though nothing unusual was found for the time being, Qian Renxue still remained vigilant.

"Sister, can you tell me about the outside world?"

After dinner, when it was almost dusk, the little girl Lanhua came over again.

"Okay." Looking at this little girl who was full of curiosity, Qian Renxue smiled and agreed.

"Outside is a huge world called Douluo Continent"

As Qian Renxue continued to tell the story, Lanhua's eyes lit up with a strange look.

"So, this is the world outside? It's much bigger than Mingshan Village."

Lanhua stretched out her hand and gestured an exaggerated distance, "I really want to go outside and take a look!"

"There's a chance." Qian Renxue rubbed the little girl's head again.

"Maybe." Lanhua's expression suddenly became a little depressed.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qian Renxue lived peacefully in this small village and gradually got to know the situation of the village. There were only about a hundred households in the village. The village chief was a cripple. The village was surrounded by trees, as if it was built in the center of a forest. No one in the village dared to approach the forest, and the village seemed to have some taboos. No soul beast dared to approach the village.

However, Qian Renxue had never discovered the so-called divine beast.

However, the opportunity has come recently.

In the next few days, the village will hold a sacrificial activity called Tianqi Sacrifice to worship the sacred beast. Qian Renxue feels that perhaps some clues can be found from this sacrifice.

Following the crowd from a distance, Qian Renxue came to an open space at the entrance of the village.

The lame village chief stood in front with a cane, and two strong men behind him were carrying a black statue.

Qian Renxue frowned when she saw the statue. The dark aura emanating from this statue was much stronger than those evil soul beasts she had killed before. But that was all. It was obviously not the real "divine beast".

"Worship the sacred beast!" the lame village chief shouted, threw away his crutches, and knelt down in front of the statue.

"Worship the divine beast!" The people behind him also knelt down.

Only Qian Renxue stood there. She was just a soul beast and was not worthy of her kneeling.

"Sister, kneel down quickly, otherwise the beast will be angry." Lanhua, who was kneeling on the ground, carefully pulled Qian Renxue's skirt.

Qian Renxue didn't say anything, but stared at the statue.

"On the offering!"

The village chief bowed again.

However, no one brought the so-called sacrifice. Just when Qian Renxue was puzzled, a black light suddenly emerged from the black statue and rushed towards Qian Renxue, the only one standing on the field.

Qian Renxue immediately summoned the Angel's Holy Sword to block it, but the black light did not have much power. As soon as it approached the Angel's Holy Sword, it was burned into nothingness by the power of light on it.

Qian Renxue was a little confused about what tricks this so-called "divine beast" was playing.

"Sister, it's over, it's over, why didn't you listen to me!"

There was a cry in Lanhua's voice, as if something bad was about to happen.

Suddenly, the villagers who were kneeling on the field raised their heads and looked at Qian Renxue in unison.

"The sacrifice has been selected!" The village chief looked at Qian Renxue and showed her big yellow teeth.

"Catch her and offer her as a sacrifice to my god."

The villagers seemed to have received an order and rushed towards Qian Renxue howling.

Qian Renxue frowned, and the soul power in her body moved, instantly knocking those villagers away.

"The evil god is the power of the evil god."

The villagers were somewhat terrified, perhaps because it was the first time they saw a human being able to use such supernatural powers.

The village chief quickly took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, our god is here to protect us."

"My God bless you!"

Those who were knocked down shouted, and rushed up again fearlessly. Obviously, there was no change, but when they chanted "My God bless you", they seemed to have really received some blessing, and there was no fear in their eyes anymore.

"The sun is true fire." Qian Renxue said indifferently.

Then, golden flames fell on the villagers, and in an instant, everything from their clothes to their skin and internal organs turned into ashes. This time, Qian Renxue did not hold back.

This horrifying scene completely frightened the villagers. A living person suddenly turned into a ball of ash. Is this something a human can do? Isn't this an ability only monsters have? Those who rushed to the back and were not taken care of by the Sun's True Fire were so scared that they collapsed on the ground, their faces pale.

There was a different look in the little girl Lanhua's eyes when she looked at Qian Renxue.

"What is a divine beast, and what's the matter with this sacrifice?" Qian Renxue pointed her sword in the direction of the crippled village chief, her tone cold.
The village chief swallowed.

"Sir, I, I..."

call out--

A ray of true fire from the sun appeared in front of him, the flame leaping, as if it was about to have an intimate contact with her at any time.

The village chief was frightened. The ashes were still there. He said quickly, "Please spare my life, sir! I'll tell you."

"My god is the guardian beast of our Mingshan Village. It has been protecting our village from the evil in the forest. However, every year at this time, the statue will choose one person from among us, and he will be offered as a sacrifice to my god."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Qian Renxue again, "My lord, the sacrifice chosen by my god this time is you."

After saying this, he immediately shrank his body, fearing that he would be visited by the golden flame.

"I am a sacrifice?" Qian Renxue snorted coldly. He actually dared to use her as a sacrifice. He was really brave.

"Miss Qian, you have to save us!" At this time, Aunt Sun suddenly crawled over, knelt down in front of Qian Renxue and kowtowed.

"Miss Qian, if there is no sacrifice, the beast will be enraged and our entire village will suffer!"

"Since I've been hosting you these past few days, Miss Qian, you must help us!"

"You want me to be a sacrifice?" Qian Renxue's face showed no emotion.

Aunt Sun didn't say anything, but just kept kowtowing. Seeing this, the other villagers also followed suit and kowtowed.

"Yes, please save us."

"Please, go and be a sacrifice to the sacred beast."

"Please be merciful and have mercy on me."

The only one who didn't speak was the little girl named Lanhua.

Qian Renxue looked around, seeing the villagers who were bowing their heads or even crying, she felt a little tired in her heart. She put away the Holy Sword of Angels, turned around and walked towards the forest. Since there were no clues here, she decided to look in the forest.

"Miss Qian! Don't go!"

"Why don't you help us!"

"Are you, an outsider, going to kill us?"

"Without the sacrifice, the village will be attacked by monsters."

"Are you going to watch us die?"

Seeing Qian Renxue was about to leave, the villagers suddenly panicked and shouted at her one by one. Some even forgot their fear and uttered angry curses. If Qian Renxue left and the sacrifice was gone, they would not be able to survive.

Listening to the voices of the people behind her, Qian Renxue finally stopped.

"Forget it, destroy it."

Before the villagers could be happy, endless sun fire rose up and swept across the entire open space in an instant.

This world is a bit filthy!
Since you are so afraid of monsters, just send them away. This way you won't have to worry about being attacked anymore.

After a while, only a statue and Orchid standing there stupidly were left on the open space.

Oh, and the ground was covered with a layer of dust.

Qian Renxue glanced at Lanhua, then turned and left.

"Wait!" Lanhua suddenly plucked up the courage.

"Sister, can you take me with you?"

Qian Renxue was stunned, turned around and looked carefully at the little girl with pigtails.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid!" Lanhua shook her head firmly.

"Then come with me."

Qian Renxue stretched out her hand towards Lanhua, and Lanhua placed her little hand on it.

"Lanhua, do you really want to go out?"

"Well, I don't want to be here anymore."

"Then I'll send you off. I almost ignored you just now."

Qian Renxue's voice suddenly turned cold.

Lanhua turned her head stiffly when she heard this, "Sister, what are you talking about!"

"The sun is so hot!"

The golden flame instantly climbed up Lanhua's body along Qian Renxue's hand.

"what!"

The little girl wailed in pain.

But there was no mercy in Qian Renxue's eyes. She just calmly looked at Lan Hua who was writhing in pain in the flames and said lightly:
"I was almost fooled by you just now, nightmare beast."

"You, how did you figure it out?"

A ferocious look suddenly appeared on Lanhua's pure face. Her originally black eyes turned red. Black air lingered around her, trying to dispel the sun's true fire, but unfortunately it was of no use.

"It's abnormal for a little girl to have no reaction when she saw the entire village being killed by me." Qian Renxue said as she increased the burning intensity of the Sun's True Fire.

"Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?" The Nightmare Beast widened his eyes.

"Guessed wrong? Then you guessed wrong." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly.

"You, God of Angels, you have really changed, changed." In the true fire of the sun, the voice of the Nightmare Beast gradually became weaker, and finally the entire space began to collapse.

Qian Renxue's mood also returned to calm. She was just a little surprised that the soul of a nightmare beast that had been left in the Divine Examination Secret Realm had grown to this point.

"The first test of the Angel God is completed, and the reward is that the age of the spirit ring is increased by 2,000 years."

"The second test of the Angel God, the sacred realm, shall we begin?"

"Begin." Qian Renxue did not hesitate at all and did not care about the improvement of her spirit ring.

The illusory scene gradually changed, and Qian Renxue came to a pure white space without any other colors. The space was filled with soft holy light and did not allow for any shadows, even after Qian Renxue came in.

However, Qian Renxue clearly sensed the rejection of her in this place, and the intensity of the rejection was gradually increasing. According to this increasing intensity, if nothing unexpected happened, she would be excluded in half an hour and would fail the divine test.

The test this time is to know your own heart.

What is justice?

Only by finding your own justice can you pass the test of God.

The angel gods once regarded eradicating evil as justice and saving the common people as their responsibility, but that was only in the past, and the result is obvious.

The people would not remember that there was such a god fighting for them, and the other gods would not like such a god.

In the previous Douluo Continent, except for the Spirit Hall, the other two countries had long forgotten the faith in the Angel God, even though she had once saved the continent and destroyed the disaster of evil soul masters.

If the Angel God had been willing to submit to the Asura God, she would never have ended up falling, but her pride prevented her from doing so.

"My justice?"

Qian Renxue seemed to be asking someone else, but also seemed to be asking herself.

What is justice? Is it justice to help the weak and suppress the strong? In a way, it is. Is it justice to maintain order? Yes, it is. What about eliminating evil? It is still justice.

But these are just justice defined by people, the so-called justice of the majority.

If one day these justices go against her, what if she is asked to fight against her closest people for justice? Is she asked to sacrifice her relatives for the sake of justice?
What if saving the majority of people means sacrificing those around you?
Who are the majority? Why should we sacrifice our loved ones for them?
This is not justice for her.

Gradually, she touched her heart, and her eyes became clearer.

She spoke.

"My justice. I am justice!"

"Shang An is my justice."

Her words were extremely firm, without a trace of hesitation.

There are not so many right and wrongs in this world. Justice is always under the edge of the sword. The justice she wants is the justice she wants. As for whether it is not the justice for the majority of people, it has nothing to do with her.

Shang An is her direction of justice. Those who are enemies of Shang An are evil and should be eradicated!

The sacred realm was shattered, and the second test was completed!

There is no fixed answer to the divine test. It only depends on whether you are firm in your belief in justice.

No matter what kind of justice this is, even if it is the justice of killing all living beings, or the justice of cleansing the world, as long as you are firm enough, you will still pass the divine test.

"The second test is completed. The reward is an increase in the age of the spirit ring by 3,000 years and a 10% affinity with angelic power."

The sea god in the divine world was amazed.

"I thought, the angel actually has someone he loves, is his name Shang An? Haha, I think I know how to set up the divine test. Angel, oh angel, I hope you don't collapse when the time comes."

"Angel God's Third Test."

The divine test was going very fast.

Perhaps it was because Qian Renxue already had the strength of a Titled Douluo, so she completed the first eight tests in just one month without any accidents.

The ninth test arrived as scheduled.

"Angel God's Ninth Test: Know Your True Heart! Do You Accept It?"

"Accept." Qian Renxue replied calmly, but her heart was already filled with coldness.

From some of the Angel God's memories, she knew that although the first eight tests had some changes, they were all set by her, but the ninth test had never appeared.

Know your true self? Haha, ridiculous.

I'm afraid it will distort the mind.

Soon, Qian Renxue fell into the illusion of divine test.
