Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 232 What is a Taoist

Yu Jiyi was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking or sighing.

After a long time, she slowly exhaled and shook her head helplessly.

"Although I have said it several times, I still have to say it again." The woman frowned, and a bitter smile appeared on her face, but it disappeared in an instant. She sighed and said, "Song Shi, you are really too scary."

"Lapis Lazuli, you can retreat now!"

Song Shi raised his finger to the sky and laughed loudly, "Wait until I'm really about to lose, then you come up! And, honestly, can you have a little confidence in me?"

Lapis Lazuli seemed to want to say something, but in the end, it just silently put away its armed module and retreated to the outermost edge of the square.

Almost at the same time, Yu Jiyi also raised his hand and pressed lightly.

——Snap.

The meme structure that was created and maintained with great effort not long ago suddenly trembled, and then tiny cracks began to appear, spreading rapidly inch by inch.

However, in the blink of an eye, this "meme" that covered the entire square and was enough to trap a third-ring psychic completely collapsed amidst countless flying dust.

Song Shi only felt his whole body lighten. The strong noisy feeling that was everywhere and bound up in his body suddenly disappeared. The world became clear in an instant - the other party stopped interfering with his psychic perception.

Clearly, the two sides were still fighting just a moment ago.

But at this moment, they stopped at the same time and looked at each other's actions calmly.

"Why don't you continue?"

Song Shi tilted his head: "Your 'Spiral World' is effective. Even if I can use 'psychic energy' to replace perception, the efficiency is still a bit low."

"If you keep going on like this, you'll start setting fires."

Yu Ji lowered his eyes, as if he was chatting with a friend: "My original plan was to use the 'Spiral World' to disrupt your perception, and then use the spirit servant cluster to continuously attack, suppress your rhythm, and force you to not even have time to use the 'Fire Seed'."

"But in this situation, it takes a lot of energy for me to maintain the 'Spiral World', okay? If you really destroy it with the fire, I will also be negatively affected, and I will be even more unable to fight next time."

"Do you want to continue?"

Song Shi laughed: "I thought you were ready to slip away."

"How is that possible?" Yu Jiyi also laughed.

call.

In a trance, there was a silent wind blowing.

Under the support of telekinesis, Yu Jiyi's body slowly rose up.

The long hair that was originally tied up loosened quietly, fluttering in the breeze, creating lines of brown water.

one two Three
No longer seven, no longer twelve, no longer even forty.

Lapis Lazuli looked up in disbelief. Even though its optical senses had delivered the picture extremely clearly, it still felt a little surprised at this moment.

fog.

Pale fog.

The sky over most of the square was covered in thick white fog.

But this is not "fog".

It was obvious that too many spirit servants gathered together, and as they overlapped and crowded together, the mist-like bodies that were originally just mist turned into a literal thick fog.

Two hundred and thirty-seven.
No.

The high-standard artificial eye accurately captured the number of all spirit servants within a few frames. But immediately, Lapis Lazuli realized something.

This is the number of "this moment".

Song Shi raised his eyes, and the sky was reflected in his pupils. The almost overlapping spirit servants stood silently, clustering around their only master.

"——Three hundred and two." He said a number.

"Not three hundred and thirty-nine."

It can be seen that at this moment, Yu Jiyi's expression was obviously uncomfortable, and even the spiritual energy that had long been accustomed to being restrained seemed difficult to restrain, and ripples of light appeared around her body.

But she nodded calmly and corrected the other person's mistake.

Including what was lost and what was just destroyed
At this moment, the individual named "Yujiyi" has devoured a total of 339 individuals in the past, and now 302 individuals have all appeared here!
Even in the abyss, she can use her Depth 4 [Devil] identity to make her psychic power stronger than in reality. She can manifest spirit servants at the same time, which is far beyond her limit.

Even before he could control them, just by letting them "appear" in the original place, Yu Ji Yi's spiritual energy had already emitted a tremor under the heavy burden.

In a battle of this level, it is tantamount to exposing your heart to the opponent's weapon without any protection.

——But Yu Jiyi was smiling.

The woman smiled reservedly and looked at the young man below.

There were no words, nor was there any communication in the minds, but from this brief eye contact, both parties understood each other's meaning.

“Profiling of consensus?”

Song Shi asked with great interest: "Are you so sure that I will choose this path? Rather than kill you with one strike right now?"

"What a stereotype. What do you think consensus is? Are you a rat who can only use psychic powers to peek into other people's minds?"

Although her words sounded like a complaint, Yu Jiyi's voice was still reserved and gentle: "If you want to see a person clearly, psychic power is not the only way. Coincidentally, I am quite confident in my own vision."

Song Shi chuckled.

Then he raised his right hand.

As the five fingers were clenched, the two red-gold light balls suddenly shattered and turned into surging flames all over the sky.

As flames continued to pour in from the sky, the scorching flames swept in all directions, and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of red-gold filter.

——【Scorched Earth】. The scorched earth expanded in an instant, swallowing up all 302 spirit servants. With the addition of two "fire seeds" and the dual blessing of 【Embers】 and 【Prairie Fire】, the pale fog that had submerged most of the sky not long ago quickly burned out.

Instead, there was a surging red-gold flame.

Yu Jiyi watched all this quietly without doing anything to stop it.

The radiance of the flames spread in all directions, causing a faint red halo to appear on the woman's face.

As the spiritual servants on Yu Jiyi's body burned to ashes, there was no more attempt to restrain the light of spiritual energy. It became brighter and brighter, climbing up to a higher level little by little above its previous peak.

A total of three hundred and thirty-nine individuals were not simply destroyed, but incorporated into his own mind.

The consciousness of the mediocre people who devoured them wantonly gathered into a huge and turbid sand sea, and placed the rough gemstone named "Yuji Instrument" in it, so as to polish it into a magnificent true appearance. Either drown in it, collapse yourself, and become part of the mediocre, or use it to sharpen yourself and climb up, and complete your complete bloom.

The spirit servants are creations formed from the consciousness of those they have devoured in the past.

They are their own strength, but also a burden.

Yu Jiyi slowly raised his head.

From the very beginning, what she chose was not the most common "unity of all" approach of [consensus]. The consciousness of those mediocre people she devoured was just the impurities that she was destined to get rid of.

The path she chose.

——From beginning to end, there is only "self"!

After all the spirit servants were burned and the mediocre consciousnesses of the past were abandoned, the "Yuji Instrument" has reached an unprecedented true peak since its birth.

Unrivaled in strength.

"Just one step away."

Yu Jiyi said softly.

Her pupils flashed a deep red light. Lapis lazuli, the square, the intelligent machines, the zero-degree network, the mission, everything had disappeared in her pupils. In these magnificent eyes, only the only existence remained.

".As long as I defeat you." Yu Jiyi's voice echoed in the air, reaching the bottom of his heart. She whispered softly: "Song Shi, I have a feeling that if I can defeat you here, I can be promoted to the third ring. That is a third ring that is more outstanding and more dazzling than the limit I have ever imagined."

"This is your strongest state, right?"

An impatient smile appeared on Song Shi's face.

He said briskly: "——Come on, then."

Then, with Yu Jiyi as the center, the pure light suddenly expanded and spread, swallowing up the scorched earth and Song Shi in the distance.

But the next moment, it seemed to become extremely long.

Only silence remains.

The words that were about to be said stopped at my lips and could no longer be said.

Yu Jiyi looked stunned.

That was an expression she had never shown even when the young man had broken the "spiral world" that she was proud of and told her how to break it.

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a long time.

Yu Jiyi suddenly burst into laughter.

She laughed so hard and so loudly that it seemed as if she was going to cough her entire body out of laughter.

"Song Shi. Song Shi?! Hahahaha"

Yu Jiyi smiled with tears in her eyes. She looked forward, where the young man was standing still.

"This is the world of the soul. Everyone has an ideal 'self'. Fat people want to be thinner, thin people want to be stronger, ugly people want to have a more handsome face, and strong people want to be stronger."

Yu Jiyi stretched out her slender index finger and gently touched the edge of her eyes.

"I thought I was arrogant enough. Except for these eyes and a few minor details, I was pretty close to 'me'."

She was still laughing, but at this moment, her laughter was almost crazy.

No matter how many observations and verifications have been conducted.

The other person's appearance, no, not just the face, every part of the other person, every bit of the body, every inch of the corner, was exactly the same as it was a minute ago, without even the slightest difference.

"——Song Shi!"

She called out the other person's name loudly and laughed crazily, "You actually think that you are the most ideal 'self' now! You! You - how can you? How can you do this? You can actually do this? You actually really think so?!"

"——Only my Tao is at the pinnacle, and I will not be harmed by any disaster." Song Shi also laughed: "I thought this was the simplest principle for being a psychic, no, it is the simplest principle for being 'you and me'!"

No more words are needed.

next moment.

With the same wild laughter, the two sides collided with each other!
No long sword, no flame, no spirit servant, no mind interference
In this world of the mind that is pulled in by consensus, all "external things" have long been abandoned.

Teeth, limbs, heads, joints, nails, they collided with each other, facing each other, in this close proximity, using all of their "self-things" to fight. They no longer looked like otherworldly psychics, but more like two beasts fighting each other.

The previous moment, this moment, the next moment.

Theoretical limitations such as strength, power-generating techniques, distance and body structure seem to have completely disappeared in this spiritual world. The only thing both sides do is to try their best and vent every bit of killing power on each other in order to wear down the opponent's mind and completely shatter their will.

Until finally, the weapon of "everything" turned into a pure fist.

This is the most primitive and also the first weapon of mankind.

Neither side retreated, avoided or evaded.

They stood where they were, clenching their bony fingers and pointing at each other.

——It was boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
