Chapter 171 He Smiles from the Fire (Medium, 4 words)
Wu Xuan’s words stunned Sha Jin. For a moment he was not sure what Wu Xuan meant.
At this moment, Wu Xuan's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Feeling Sha Jin's doubtful gaze, Wu Xuan gently shook his head and then said:
"Do you want to use your power to detonate that "star core"? "
Sha Jin's pupils trembled when he heard this. He didn't understand how Wu Xuan guessed it.
As if sensing the shocked look, Wu Xuan sighed slightly and continued, "You clearly knew that your attack would have no effect on that monster, but you still wanted to go. Isn't that obvious?"
"Let me say something... unpleasant. This guy may have inherited a talent from an "ancient beast". He can identify all attacks he suffers, and then... gradually block them, until he is completely immune to them."
"When we first saw this thing, it already had a lot of mixed destiny energy in it. It was completely a patchwork monster."
"At the same time, he also has the power of destruction and preservation. Whether the detonation of the star core can completely kill him... I really can't say."
After hearing Wu Xuan's words, Sha Jin fell silent. He had to admit that he did want to take a gamble, betting that he could deliver the star core to this thing and that his power was enough to detonate the star core.
The energy fluctuations generated by the nuclear explosion of the bet star can kill this thing completely.
Of course, he also gambled that he could survive the aftermath of the explosion.
"You just said...you have a way to kill it?" asked Sha Jin.
Wu Xuan nodded as a matter of course and continued, "I passed by a destroyed world a long time ago, and there... I found a burning sword."
"This power does not belong to imaginary energy, nor does it belong to the power of destiny. It seems to be a force that is opposite to imaginary energy."
"Of course, this is all my guess. I can't really say if it's true or not, but the energy above is definitely something I have never seen before."
"I am the envoy, and with that big sword, I can definitely kill it."
Having said this, Wu Xuan paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Zi and said softly to her: "Ji Zi, you must watch carefully later, okay?"
Ji Zi didn't say anything, but silently pulled Wu Xuan's clothes, not wanting him to leave like that.
She could see clearly from the task panel that once Wu Xuan left... he would never come back.
She is also a human being, and she has her own selfish desires. Although the Nameless Guests are dubbed "doers of good deeds" by most people, this does not mean that they have to sacrifice their lives every time to explore.
This does not mean that they have to sacrifice themselves for the so-called "great cause" every time.
Sha Jin watched everything that was happening in front of him in silence, and he suddenly felt a little regretful.
He understood why Wu Xuan could only smile bitterly when he saw Ji Zi, because he was always prepared to die.
The reason why he walked out of the hotel alone was because he didn't want Ji Zi to see him die for this planet.
At this moment, Wu Xuan looked at the approaching monster, then looked at Ji Zi who was pulling his sleeve from behind, sighed slightly, then half squatted down and stretched out his little finger to her.
"During my exploration, I passed by a planet called 'Azure Star'. When the inhabitants made a promise, they would hook their little fingers together and say 'Pin it down, for a hundred years, no change.'"
"Now...I promise you, my dear Miss Himeko, I will definitely come back to you."
Ji Zi looked at Wu Xuan's black eyes that were emitting a little light, and the smile on his face that came from the heart, and her vision became a little blurred for a moment.
But she didn't cry. Instead, after a brief silence, she also stretched out her little finger and hooked it on Wu Xuan's little finger.
Seeing Ji Zi's actions, Wu Xuan's expression became softer, and he whispered to her, "Pin it down, or hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change."
After doing all this, Wu Xuan slowly stood up, gently rubbed Ji Zi's head, and then turned and left.
"Wait until I come back, my...Miss Himeko."
[Main Quest (7/7) "With this raging fire, nothing can stop!"]
[Task Description: By now... you should know exactly what you need to do, so there is no description here]
[Task Reward: Guess?]
[Mission Penalty: Simulation Ends]
Wu Xuan left these words and disappeared from the spot. Only then did Ji Zi raise her head and look into the distance, whispering softly, "I'll wait for you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar mission light screen appeared in front of Ji Zi again.
[Main quest (5/7) "The Blocked Music Hall" has been completed]
[Automatically accept the main quest (6/7) "He Smiles from the Fire"]
[Main Quest (6/7) "He Smiles from the Fire"]
[Task Description: His story ends here. He wrote his own music with his life, burning his life and lighting up the starry sky. And the next... is your story.]
【mission rewards:? ? ? 】
[Task penalty: none]
The moment she saw the light curtain, Ji Zi could no longer hold back. Her originally hazy vision gradually became clear, and the tears that had blocked her vision slid down the corners of her eyes.
She was crying silently.
But Shajin seemed unable to bear to see this scene, and turned his head gently, trying not to look at Ji Zi again and see that heartbreaking scene again.
He looked at the tiny figure standing in front of the monster and whispered softly, "Come on... Dear Mr. Navigator."
......
Wu Xuan looked at the snarling tentacles, sighed slightly, and then took out the "Fire Flame" that was lying in the "Destiny Space".
Almost at the moment when he took out the broadsword, the temperature around Wu Xuan instantly rose to an unbearable level.
——Even the power of development cannot balance the discomfort caused by this temperature.
In an instant, beads of sweat the size of beans began to secrete from Wu Xuan's forehead, as if he was in a furnace.
Not only that, Wu Xuan's right hand, which was specially protected by the pioneering power, also made a burning sound at this moment, as if the skin and flesh were being scorched and sticky.
But the flames did not stop there. Just as the entry described, the violent fire element gradually spread to Wu Xuan's body through the hilt of the sword, and finally... turned him into a fire man.
[The effect of the corresponding entry "Firefire" of the broadsword "Firefire" is triggered, and your vitality is rapidly draining away]
Wu Xuan endured the burning pain all over his body. He felt his skin screaming, and the flame on the hilt of the sword completely stuck his right hand to the hilt, as if foreshadowing a certain ending.
At this moment, the disgusting purple-black tentacles attacked Wu Xuan from all directions. The chaotic attack seemed to foreshadow the fear from the "unspeakable thing".
However...what happened next frightened the monster even more.
His invincible purple-black tentacles were simply unable to touch Wu Xuan. The high temperature around his body was simply abnormal!
But the intense fear eventually overcame the creature's instinctive reaction to pain, and it desperately stretched its tentacles into the inner layers of the flames.
However...the moment those purple-black tentacles touched Wu Xuan's body, they instantly charred and then turned into ashes and dissipated in the universe.
The intense pain coming from multiple tentacles at the same time was too much for the monster to bear. It roared in anger and confusion. Its brain, which was only the size of a walnut, seemed unable to understand such a problem.
At this moment, Wu Xuan, who had originally closed his eyes to adapt to this feeling, now opened his eyes.
The pair of eyes that were originally as black as ink turned golden at this moment, and the pupils turned bright red. At this moment, Wu Xuan's eyes seemed to be burning with the flame of a lost civilization.
He slowly raised the greatsword in his hand, and the blazing blade made those tentacles that still had evil intentions towards him retreat.
Wu Xuan opened his mouth softly, and his voice at this moment seemed to come from ancient times, as if it came from the distant past, carrying a hint of the heaviness of history and the vicissitudes of loss.
"Is your attack...over? Well...it's my turn now, is that ok with you?!"
In a flash, Wu Xuan turned into a beam of fire and rushed out. The big sword in his hand, named "Xinyan", was burning wildly. Even the space around him was slightly distorted due to the excessively high temperature.
At this moment, he seemed to be the same as the user in the past who had used this sword to fight for civilization, and he swung the first sword without hesitation.
[Broadsword "Firefire" corresponding entry "Fragile" effect is triggered, remaining number of uses: 8]
"「Fire Flame」! Draw the sword!"
"Roar----"
As a flash of fire cut through the dark universe, the giant beast's body gradually began to collapse, and a huge wound appeared on its body.
And above that wound there still flowed a little fire, flowing with the firm will from the past and the present.
The buds that grew out of instinct were instantly burned to ashes by the flowing flames, and dissipated into the universe like those tentacles that did not know how to live or die.
However, Wu Xuan did not relax because after swinging the sword, his vitality was lost faster and faster, and the flames burned more and more vigorously.
"Let you...completely turn into ashes in the universe!"
A huge flaming cross appeared in the universe with the monster as the background. The burning flaming cross represented Wu Xuan's will and life.

[Broadsword "Firefire" corresponding entry "Fragile" effect is triggered, remaining number of uses: 6]
He is a pioneering envoy, and he believes in the twelve-word mantra.
But...he is also a human being.
Whether it is to protect the planet behind him from being harmed, or to allow Ji Zi to leave here without any worries, these are what Wu Xuan wants to do.
Wu Xuan knew very well that if he did not take action and remained silent, more planets in this universe would suffer from the clutches of this monster.
I have already escaped once, so it is impossible to escape a second time.
Anonymous passengers can decide where and where to get on and off the bus, which is their right.
And now... Wu Xuan is about to get off the car, to protect the planet behind him, to protect more lives, and to make his image firmly imprinted in the girl's heart.
Although it may sound a bit... strange to say this, this is the reason Wu Xuan found for himself from the bottom of his heart.
What's more, after he came into contact with "mystery" and "joy", he had new thoughts on this so-called "game".
He already had some understanding.
But...more specific content still needs to be verified.
Wu Xuan shook his head stiffly. Looking at the monster in front of him that was still twisting constantly, Wu Xuan raised the broadsword in his hand again and chopped it out again.
[Broadsword "Firefire" corresponding entry "Fragile" effect is triggered, remaining number of uses: 5]
The scorching flames almost completely tore apart the surrounding space. The violent fire element contained a messenger's understanding of life and a navigator's practice of destiny.
"I'm not an extreme pioneer... Since I have pioneered this world, and since I am the one who brought disaster to this world... then let me put an end to it!"
Wu Xuan roared like this, using up almost all of his remaining strength to swing out the last three swords.
[Broadsword "Firefire" corresponding entry "Fragile" effect is triggered, remaining number of uses: 2]
Looking at the monster that was gradually wrapped in flames and had to put all its energy into self-healing, Wu Xuan raised a pale smile at the corner of his mouth.
Just when he was about to continue swinging the broadsword in his hand for the last two blows to put an end to his story and the disaster he had brought...
——The burning pain that came from his soul made him feel a little weak for a moment. Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't raise the broadsword in his hand again.
The flesh and blood on his body was constantly experiencing the process of being burned, reorganized, and then burned again. His sense of pain was now numb, but his soul was not.
At this moment, Wu Xuan finally understood what the phrase "burn everything you have" meant.
Wu Xuan's soul was burning slowly, and the last triggerable term was also touched by Wu Xuan.
[The effect of the corresponding entry "Soul Burning Line" of the broadsword "Fire Flame" is triggered. In the next three seconds, the sword in your hand can burn everything]
Listening to the mechanical sound coming from his mind, Wu Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
His eyes, which were flashing with fire, slowly raised up, and he looked at the monster in front of him that was struggling to escape with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Damn it... I'll show you... how much a power that costs one's life and soul can protect!!!"
With a final roar, Wu Xuan swung the last sword of his life.
At this moment, his figure completely overlapped with the will from the ancient times. They roared in the past and the present:
"With this fierce fire, I will kill everything!"
