I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

The man said, "If I could taste defeat again, it would indeed be a great pleasure."

He immediately accepted Genjuro's suggestion and headed towards the mountaintop to continue the competition.

"Let's go, Xiaoming!"

With her fingers on the strings, Xianjuanxin also headed towards the mountaintop.

Mingxian: "..."

Not Ajita: Chapter Three, its name is Chiyou

In the center of the deserted island, a majestic and precipitous mountain stands proudly overlooking the surrounding life and vegetation.

At the summit, six black stones stand silently, as black as the night, exuding a sense of holiness, as if they were ancient inscriptions recording unknown secrets.

The man's steps were light yet firm, like a cheetah chasing the wind, cutting through thorns and brambles with unstoppable momentum, and finally standing firmly before the black stone.

Suddenly, the black stone seemed to come alive, and ancient and powerful characters appeared on it.

"How dare you appear before me?"

The man chuckled softly, a mocking laugh escaping his lips. "My old friend, why be so heartless?"

However, Blackstone did not respond to his words, but instead changed the scene.

A lifelike portrait slowly emerges.

It was a white ape, agile and wielding a long sword that gleamed with cold light. Its eyes held both wisdom and unyielding spirit.

Then, an incredible scene unfolded. The white ape in the painting seemed to be given a soul. It blinked its eyes and leaped out of the painting, wielding a sword and attacking the man. The sword light was as fast as lightning, tearing through the void.

"This weapon is useless against me."

The man remained calm and composed, raising his hand with his fingertips slightly spread, as if to embrace the extremely sharp blade.

When his palm touched the blade, the originally sharp and indestructible blade stopped in the man's hand, unable to harm him in the slightest.

At that moment, another black stone suddenly began to flash with a strange light.

A stunning pattern slowly emerged from it.

Eighty large drums, so lifelike, seem ready to take flight at any moment.

The moment the pattern appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a chilling aura swept in all directions.

Then, the pattern began to "come alive".

The drumhead throbbed on its own, as if struck by an invisible hand. In an instant, the drum sound roared like thunder, and the shockwaves spread for five hundred miles. Then, the drumbeats continued without end, and with each strike, the shockwaves expanded to three thousand miles!

The sound of the drums was not just a shock to the ears, but a shock to the soul, making the whole world tremble. The earth seemed to be wailing, the mountains and rivers swayed, and the sky spun, as if the whole world was trembling with the sound of the drums.

The sounds of battle cries and the neighing of warhorses seemed to intertwine, soaring into the sky.

The power was so strong that it seemed to tear space apart and shake a person's soul out of their body!

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the man smiled calmly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"It's the same old thing."

Having said that, the man moved with the agility of a swallow skimming the waves, leaping into the air, kicking the white ape aside, and opening his mouth towards the black stone.

Its wild and unrestrained posture seemed to devour everything in the world.

The black stone was enormous, more than three times the height of the man himself, but it seemed tiny in his words.

With a gentle bite, the black stone gradually shrank and was completely swallowed.

As the black stone disappeared, the drumming gradually subsided, and the mountaintop returned to tranquility.

"You bastard!"

With a furious roar, a black divine bird flew out and landed on a black rock.

That was a woman's voice.

Her voice was not gentle and weak, but rather incredibly strong.

The black bird had long, narrow eyes, resembling a woman's. It looked at the man and asked directly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Although I have not yet been resurrected, you have lost the 'snake' and the 'steel,' and all you have left is your mouth, which can eat some weapons."

"If you really want to fight, I'm not afraid of you!"

The man laughed and said, "It's just that at the request of mortals and shamans, we've held a mountain climbing competition."

"mortal?"

"They're coming."

The man pointed into the distance.

Mingxian, panting, struggled to climb to the top of the mountain, carrying the string scroll on his back.

Why did you suddenly faint?

Xian Juanxin whimpered, her face slightly pale, and said, "When I heard a very loud sound, I lost all my strength."

"I... I didn't hear anything..."

The zither trembled as it stepped forward.

The black bird's head followed his movement.

"call!"

She put down the string, and was completely exhausted from playing. She collapsed to the ground, sweat pouring down her face, but she still managed to lift her head and look at the man: "I made it to the top! I'm second this time!"

The man seemed amused by these words.

"You'd better work harder. You're just a little short of beating me and becoming the winner."

Mingxian tried hard to get up, but he couldn't stand up.

A pair of small hands supported him.

With the help of Genmaki Shin, Naruhiro finally stood up, but his stomach made a rumbling sound.

I'm a little hungry.

The man raised his hand and pointed to the black bird on the black stone: "Young man, this is my old friend, who likes to give warriors opportunities."

Mingxian looked at the black bird.

Xuan Niao narrowed his eyes and said, "Interesting. This mortal's fate as a warrior has actually been extracted. If the fourth knot is untied, he may become an existence that rivals the gods."

Mingxian: "?"

Please slow down. Can you please explain your worldview properly?

What is the fate of a warrior?

What fourth knot?

Can someone explain this?

The system, where is the system?

[Host's conquest progress has reached 20%. Please keep up the good work.]

Mingxian: "..."

This useless system, go sit at the same table with the hedgehog cat's system!

Xuan Niao looked at Xian Juanxin again and exclaimed in surprise, "Such rich divine blood is truly rare! If it weren't for the Mingzun blocking the Netherworld with the temple and establishing laws to govern the fate of all living beings, this girl could probably have become an immortal."

Seemingly intrigued, it moved a black stone in front of Genjuan Shin.

"What did you see?"

Upon hearing the question, Xuan Juanxin felt a moment of disorientation. Her golden eyes gradually blurred, and she exuded an ethereal aura, as if her soul had transcended her physical body.

"this is!"

After regaining her senses, Xian Juanxin's eyes sparkled like stars. She turned to the man, her voice filled with surprise and delight: "I finally know your name. You're Chi You, aren't you?"

As the words fell, the man's figure seemed to be reshaped by some mysterious force, his temperament changed drastically, like an ancient mountain range freezing in an instant, or like the world being condensed in the blink of an eye.

Mingxian felt an invisible sword aura piercing through the air, as if it were about to tear apart the surrounding air.

"Oh, it's me!"

Chi You's laughter was as deafening as thunder: "I am the embodiment of the turbid energy of the five planets, the god of comets who sow calamities throughout the world!"

His pupils instantly turned pure gold, while the whites of his eyes became fiery red.

He exuded an air of arrogance.

The surrounding air seemed to ignite, and a scorching and violent power surged around Chi You, like a comet streaking across the night sky, leaving a brilliant yet dangerous trail.

Genjuro Shin couldn't help but take a step back, shocked by the powerful aura.

Trembling...

String Heart did not feel the intense emotion of fear, but the divine blood within her body was filled with dread.

The black bird covered its mouth with its wing and laughed, "So that's how it is. Thinking of my own name, my rebellious nature is beginning to awaken."

It then looked at the zither.

"O mortal destined to be a warrior, what do you desire?"

"Ah, I want divine blood." Mingxian pointed at Chiyou: "Defeat this..."

Before Mingxian could finish speaking, the Black Bird burst into excited laughter, its voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell, yet carrying a hint of something elusive.

"Interesting, very interesting! I happen to have a 'sword' here, and I'd love to see for myself whether you can truly become a warrior after untying this knot. Don't be like Song Jiang, disappointing me greatly!"

The black bird's words were full of mockery and anticipation, as if a good show was about to begin.

boom!

As the black bird finished speaking, a great sun seemed to leap out from behind it, its golden light dazzling and radiant, as if it were about to illuminate the entire space.

Immediately afterwards, a celestial spear descended from the sky, like a falling meteor, piercing the heavens.

Before Mingxian could react, the heavenly spear had already pierced through his chest.
