I Can’t Be a Sword God

"Yingli..."

Cang Kong stared blankly at Li Chu, a little confused about the situation.

Lead the way...lead what way?

Seeing your posture, it seems that you are going to use a knife to chop off the head of the state religion. This murderous look... is there something wrong, hey?

Where is my gentle and pleasant Yingli?

"Someone escaped from prison!"

"Master Cangkong! How dare you release the heavy prisoner of the first lord without authorization!"

Suddenly there was a shout.

There was a crackling sound, and seven or eight female guards in armor rushed out at once.

"I'm not...I didn't...don't talk nonsense!" Cangkong quickly raised his hands and denied Sanlian.

The laws of the Huaxu Kingdom are strict. Escaping from prison and robbing prisoners are serious crimes. If you don't give up resistance quickly, you may be killed on the spot.

But under her frightened eyes, Li Chu had already strode forward to meet her.

"Stop! Give up resistance!"

There was a sound of clanging swords coming out of their sheaths, and a bunch of shining sharp weapons were aimed at Li Chu, with qi suffocating and sword lights looming on them, it was obvious that these guards had good cultivation.

Li Chu's eyes swept over their weapons, maybe it was an illusion, the guards felt that his eyes were a little strange for a while, as if he was... picking goods?

Just when they didn't intend to "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" and were about to start to move, they saw the other party suddenly raised their fingers.

bang bang bang...

Cangkong was begging Yingli to stop his strange behavior quickly and not be killed by the guards with a look of unbearable.

It was discovered that he didn't know what supernatural power or demon method he had used, but in an instant, all the guards went into a state of rigidity and fixed in place.

"Huh?"

Cangkong was dumbfounded.

Immediately, Li Chu stepped forward and took off a bright long sword, put it in the sheath, and carried it behind his back.

Although the sword equipped by the guards of the Huaxu Kingdom is not comparable to the famous swords of later generations, it is more or less an excellent weapon, and it can still be used barely.

"Why are you still standing there?" Li Chu looked back at Cangkong again.

The eyes are obvious, it's still the same words.

lead the way.

"Ah...Okay." Cang Kong didn't dare to say no anymore, he trotted out of the cave, turned around and smiled, "Come with me."

Once out of the cave, the sun was quite dazzling.

This prison was actually built on a very high point of the mountain. Looking down, one can vaguely see most of the appearance of an ancient city-state.

All kinds of white wood and stone buildings, circular roofs, and colorful flags fluttering all over the street are all 100% realistic.

If this is really a projection, it can only be manifested with a considerable amount of mana.

After Cangkong took Li Chu down this mountain, he didn't go into the city, but went to another mountain far away.

A mountain that is obviously vast and deep.

"This is the forbidden mountain of state religion...the guards on it are extremely strict." When he came to the edge of the mountain, Cang Kong said in a low voice: "No matter what happens, don't make trouble. Once we are found, we will quickly catch them with nothing. Your reliance and chief seat's expectation of you should not be too difficult for us..."

"who!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a woman in red jumping out from behind a huge boulder in front of her. There were three strange oil paints on her face, and two French flags were planted behind her back.

"We are good citizens—" Cang Kong hurriedly raised his hands high.

Then I heard a slightly familiar... bang.

"You're crazy!" Cang Kong's eyes widened, "Do you dare to do something to the disciples of the state religion?"

In the country of Huaxu, there has always been a consensus that it is better to mess with the imperial court officials than disciples of the state religion. The status of the state religion is detached, and the leader of this generation of state religion is ruthless, and has always been feared by people.

Li Chu shook his head, "Continue to lead the way."

In his memory, the National Religion Forbidden Mountain was indeed strictly forbidden to the people of Huaxu, and the former Yingli had no idea how to go up the road.

An official like Cangkong was fortunate enough to accompany the monarch to the top once or twice, and he barely remembered the road.

The further up the road ahead, the more dangerous it is, she really doesn't want to go on it anymore, but Li Chu has already started... She can only bite the bullet and let him go on...

Then the two climbed up the high back mountain.

"You subdued more than 30 disciples of the state religion along the way, it's just..." Cangkong looked at Li Chu incredulously, "It's crazy."

Li Chu looked at the deep cave in front of him, and just asked, "This is it?"

"It should be..." Cang Kong said weakly.

"Then I'll just go in by myself, thank you."

Although he hadn't stepped into the cave yet, Li Chu had already glanced over it with his mind, and the strong devilish energy in it almost covered everything, hiding hundreds of restless and dangerous auras.

If you bring Cang Kong in again, it may be dangerous.

Seeing Li Chu's back walking into the cave, Cang Kong suddenly felt dazed.

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

It's easy to go to visit a prison, as if he became an accomplice in his escape from prison and then on the Forbidden Mountain? What a disaster.

But……

Although the sacrifice was great, I just saw that incomparably handsome face and said thank you to me...

I still feel very pleased.

hum.

...

"Roar--"

"ah……"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Along the way down the deep cave, Li Chu subdued many state religion guards along the way.

When I came to the depths of the cave, what I saw was a creepy scene.

In this huge cave, there are more than a hundred prisons, which are more like cages than cells.

In the narrow space, the heavy and complicated iron chains and talismans suppressed the existence in the cage. And the one locked in the iron cage no longer knows whether it can be called a human being...

Some are covered in blood and flesh, and their eyes are scarlet like blood, some are covered with brown and long hair, and it is difficult to distinguish between human beings and beasts, and some have completely lost their human form, covered with tentacles, and only the eyes can reveal a little emotion... …

The demonic energy surged.

They were all going crazy or howling in their respective iron prisons at this moment, like purgatory on earth for a moment.

Li Chu walked among them, taking every step very carefully...

Relying on the familiar breath in his memory, he found a relatively quiet cage in the depths.

The reason why it is relatively quiet here is because the surrounding iron prisons are empty. Not empty, but covered with blood and broken pieces of flesh.

Looks like something terrible has happened.

"Changzi?" Li Chu tried to call out.

In the middle of that iron prison was a little girl who had not been demonized much, and kept most of the human body, except for seven or eight purple long tails and limbs turned into sharp claws.

She raised her eyes, and her eyes had turned into purple pupils.

"elder brother?"

Her voice seemed a little uncertain, and she looked at Li Chu suspiciously.

"It's me." Li Chu came to the iron prison.

"Are you my brother?" Chang Zi's eyes were still flickering purple, it seemed difficult to confirm.

Maybe it's because of her demonization, but also because of Li Chu's change...

As the closest person, even though she is unconscious now, there is still a deep feeling. Rather than simply relying on his appearance, he believed in his identity.

Li Chu didn't make any excuses, but continued: "I'm here to save you."

"save……"

After Changzi's eyes flickered for a while, they finally softened, as if Li Chu's words made her let go of her hostility and believed in his identity.

"Brother...you go away..." She looked at where the cave came from, "You can't save me..."

Li Chu has already drawn out his sword.

Since he has received the task, he will naturally not allow failure.

"It's useless..." Chang Zi continued to shake his head, "Even if you break through this iron prison, I can't walk in the sun, we are all monsters who can't see the light..."

"Huh?" Li Chu stopped his behavior.

Because Changzi's words reminded him that this mission seems not so simple...

Is the so-called "rescue" really as simple as releasing her from the cage?

So he put down his sword and asked one more question: "How did you become like this?"

"It's Master..." Chang Zi said, he hesitated to speak, and changed his words: "The head of the state religion, she is crazy..."

"She claimed that she had received a revelation from the gods that the country of Huaxu was about to perish...she said that the only way to save the country of Huaxu was to sublimate the country."

"sublimation?"

"I don't know where the first one got the eye of the first demon..." Chang Zi said: "After being irradiated by the eye of the first demon, the physical body will be transformed and greatly sublimated..."

She said with a wry smile, "Just like us."

"She calls this sublimation?" Li Chuning frowned.

"That's right, we have indeed obtained extremely strong power...but this power, accompanied by bloodthirsty and madness...is uncontrollable..." Changzi said in pain: "I have cultivated the soul before, and I can barely suppress it." Some, those ordinary fighters, couldn't struggle at all...they all turned into monsters..."

Li Chu didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "How can I save you?"

"It's very difficult..." Chang Zi hugged his head with his claws, and said, "Someone tried it, and even if they died, they couldn't get rid of it. I'm afraid there is no other way except to destroy the eye of the primordial demon..."

I see……

Li Chu knew it in his heart, maybe this is the real task content?

"Where is that thing?" he asked again.

"Only the head of the state religion knows where it is..." Chang Zi replied: "Only the head can summon it and drive it. The power of the Eye of Shimo... is unrivaled..."

She suddenly raised her eyes, and asked doubtfully again: "Are you really my brother?"

"I……"

Li Chu hesitated.

Because I don't know what kind of answer is the most appropriate.

In such an open world, if a sentence is wrong and affects the direction of the next plot, it would be too bad.

admit? Still don't admit it?

Or ignore it?

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

"Yingli!"

It was Cangkong, she didn't leave, but ran in again.

"What's wrong?" Li Chu asked.

"The first lord has received the news..." Cang Kong hurriedly came to the front, although everything around her was shocking, but that was not what she was most worried about.

"Yingli, stop." She said urgently, "Outside are all disciples of the state religion!"

"Oh?" Li Chu raised his brows instead, "The head of the state religion is here too?"

"This doesn't seem to be..." Cang Kong said:

"The first lord just said the day before yesterday that before the Spring Blossom Ceremony, they will be closed in the temple... No, Ying Li, what's the matter with your lost eyes?"

While talking, she was suddenly taken aback by the change in Li Chu's eyes.

Aren't you disappointed that you didn't make the chief seat take action himself?

Is it not good to live?

"That being the case... fighting outsiders is not a wise choice." Li Chu said.

"Of course!" Cangkong paused and said, "Yingli, you have finally figured it out. Surrender is the wisest...smart...hey, what are you doing?!"

In the middle of her speech, Li Chu suddenly pointed her halberd upwards, and with a clang, the long sword came out of its sheath.

Then, Li Chu grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the sword body.

Although Cangkong is a civil servant, but as a woman, she has been taught the method of body training since she was born, and her physique is already quite strong. She should be able to withstand a short period of sword control, right?

call out--

A stream of light suddenly drilled out of the hole.

In the blink of an eye, he was already within the walls of Huaxu Kingdom.

boom--

After falling to the ground, a burst of smoke and dust filled the sky.

"Are you okay?" Li Chu asked.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Cangkong collapsed on the ground in a large font, his body and limbs were twitching non-stop, his mouth and nose were humming indistinctly, and there were vague signs of rolling his eyes...

"Hello..." Li Chu called out again.

His Yujian was indeed not that gentle, so he never dared to take anyone with him easily, and just now he felt that it was not good to keep Cang Kong there, so he tried to take her along...

"Ah." Cang Kong groaned, and seemed to gradually come back to his senses, "This...Where is this..."

She looked around, stared at Li Chu suddenly, and said, "You are not Yingli!"

"..."

was discovered? Li Chu was silent for a moment, weighing in his heart the necessity of killing people to silence them.

Unexpectedly, Cang Kong said in the next sentence: "You are a god!"

After speaking, she fainted very cleanly.

Li Chu observed with her mind, and there was nothing unusual about her body, but the speed just now was too fast, she couldn't stand it, and she should be able to wake up after a while.

So he simply left her where he was.

There is no longer the danger of being arrested by the State Church. As for what to do next, it is up to her to wake up and decide for herself.

not to mention……

After she wakes up, it is not certain whether Huaxu Kingdom still has the head of state religion.

Li Chu put the sword back into its sheath, and walked towards the direction of the temple in his memory.

...

The Temple of the National Religion has a long history, numerous buildings, and an ever-expanding area, which is already larger than King Huaxu's Palace.

After Li Chu arrived, he flashed directly, passed through the high wall, and came to the interior of the temple.

The roads here are intricate and the buildings are difficult to distinguish, but Li Chu didn't care, and directly locked the strongest aura in the center with his mind and eyes.

That person must be the head of the state religion.

Walking all the way, after a short time, I came to a white palace that was not tall but very elegant.

The goal of this trip is inside.

There is nothing much to say, Li Chu stepped forward, wanting to go straight to the point.

As soon as I approached the palace, I heard one of them shouting loudly: "First seat! No matter what, you must take care of your health. You must eat! You are busy with state affairs and worrying about the people all day. If you don't come out to eat at this time, what should you do if you are hungry and thin?" ? I will feel distressed."

The voice was very thin, and it sounded like a voice that had suffered...

But for some reason, this strange voice gave Li Chu a sense of familiarity...

"Go away." This is the woman's deep response.

"okay."

After being scolded, the owner of the squeaky voice turned and left with a very pleasant tone.

Li Chu was a little surprised when he saw that figure walking out of the palace.

Sure enough, it was him.

He saw Chen Huaji wearing a black and red brocade jacket and a small hat, walking out cheerfully.

Li Chu lay in ambush at the corner and dragged Chen Huaji over when he passed by.

"Heroic man, spare your life!"

Chen Huaji's first reaction to being frightened was to squat down with his head in his arms as quickly as lightning...

In this way, even if someone wants to kill him, it will be too late to make a move, and they will be confused by his resolute giving up of resistance. If the opponent made any further moves, he still had a backhand—kneeling down.

"It's me." Li Chu said.

"Yeah?" Chen Huaji raised his head, suddenly surprised and surprised: "Isn't this the Yuhang little pride I respect the most, Daoist Li?"

Li Chu didn't bother to pay attention to his strange name, and asked directly: "Why are you here... What are you doing?"

"this……"

When mentioning his life experience, Chen Huaji suddenly flattened his lips, dilated his nostrils, and his big eyes were filled with tears...

"Xiao Daoist Li, I'm not complete..."

"..." Li Chu was silent for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her.

"As soon as I was illuminated by that strong light, I found myself in the temple of the state religion. I was still a close friend of the chief seat. There was nothing wrong with it until I felt like I wanted to pee..."

Chen Huaji sobbed and said, "I found that I couldn't find the tools to commit the crime..."

Seeing him crying more and more, Li Chu had no choice but to persuade him: "Squatting is more environmentally friendly."

"Wow—" Chen Huaji seemed to be on the verge of crying.

Li Chu hurriedly said: "Tell me who you are first."

"Oh..." Chen Huaji stopped crying on the spot, and introduced: "My identity is a steward in the temple, named Wu Ji..."

A very appropriate name, Li Chu thought to himself.

But he didn't dare to say it, after all, Chen Huaji had just suppressed his crying.

"I am responsible for taking care of the first adult's food and daily life all day long. Other than that, there is nothing serious." Chen Huaji continued.

"That's it..." Li Chu nodded.

Could it be that he is the only one who has complicated tasks?

"Hey, Daoist Li, why are you coming to the temple? Who is your identity?" Chen Huaji asked.

Li Chu didn't hide anything, and revealed his identity and goal.

Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Chen Huaji was shocked, "Ah? You want to kill the first lord?"

"What?" Li Chu looked at him strangely, "No?"

"Ah..." Chen Huaji sighed, "I can't hide anything now. In fact, apart from being the steward of the temple, I have another identity secretly... I'm also the licking dog of the head of the state church."

"These two identities...don't conflict at all, right?" Li Chu wondered.

"No." Chen Huaji shook his head and said, "I used to be the son of a wealthy family, but later I committed a serious crime in my family and almost ransacked my family. It was the adult who had not yet become the first person who saved me at that time. I will always remember it deeply in my heart. Hold her."

"Later she became the head seat, but I was just a waste who couldn't practice the "Hua Xu Jing". I thought... If I can't be with the person I love, then what's the use of this iron rod?"

Li Chu grinned.

It's a man.

"So I cut off the root of my troubles with a single knife, and then threw myself into the temple, and practiced the "Huaxu Sutra" assiduously, just to protect the safety of the first lord. Although she has great powers, she does not need my protection... I will always I am ready to give my life to protect her..."

Li Chu looked at his moved expression, and asked again: "Is this a background story or your personal experience...Why are you so devoted..."

"Oh, hehe." Chen Huaji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "The main thing is that the character design of this buddy Wu Ji is too suitable for me, and he has a strong sense of substitution."

As he said that, he scratched his head again and said: "And I seem to have a feeling in the dark, as if... I must protect the chief lord, prevent her from any harm, and help her complete what she has to do, so that I can get something."

"Oh?" Li Chu blinked, "Then it seems that your task... is to help the Chief?"

"But wouldn't this just conflict with your mission..." Chen Huaji looked at Li Chu in embarrassment, "What should I do?"

"There's no good way..." Li Chu was very indifferent, and said slowly: "In that case, let's compete fairly."

"Huh?" Chen Huaji's face was terrified, and there was a cry in his words, "Is this really fair?"
