Chapter 903: The quiet court at midnight (1)
The little girl’s question disappeared.
By the time Lu Xin stood up slowly, all the shadows around him had disappeared.
In the surrounding wilderness, countless executors had been devoured by the sword keeper when he went crazy.
The scaffold that was as tall as a forest had disappeared. The spiritual body hanging on it had also disappeared.
The sword-bearer’s body completely collapsed, and the sword of judgment naturally disappeared.
The twisted whistling sound in the wilderness seemed to have been blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.
The sharp contrast made the painful and chaotic confrontation just now seem like a dream.
All that was left was the huge black building, which stood in the wilderness.
Only the grass and the huge gullies on the ground showed that a battle had occurred here.
However, he was not sure what the battle would look like if he looked at it from a realistic perspective.
..
..
“Is it really over now?”
Exhaling lightly, Lu Xin turned his gaze toward the massive black building in the East.
It was as if the dilapidated temple of the Parthenon temple had been painted black and moved into the wilderness in front of him.
He saw tall stone pillars and a dilapidated dome.
A huge flight of stairs extended upwards from beneath his feet, straight through the deep and unknown temple.
This was what the sword-wielder had left behind after he was destroyed.
It seemed that this existence should be very majestic.
However, he didn’t know if it was because the sword-wielder had been destroyed that the building had lost its power.
Lu Xin looked at it, but instead of feeling any pressure, he felt empty.
It brought with it a sense of desolation and death.
“Be careful …”
A voice came from behind him.
She didn’t know when, but her father and sister had come to her side and were looking at her curiously.
His mother was the most curious of them all. Even now, she still had many questions that she could not answer. Her brows were furrowed as she looked at the black Temple. This was the first time Lu Xin had seen so much confusion on her face.
“There’s still danger?”
Lu Xin turned to look at her and asked in a soft voice, ”
“I don’t think so.”
No. her mother shook her head and said softly, ” but this matter always makes me feel a little strange.
“For example, this thing was actually left behind.”
“..”
Lu Xin looked at the temple-like illusionary building again and was a little confused. “What is this?”
“Midnight court …”
“Perhaps you can also understand it as the spiritual Palace of the sword holder,” mother explained softly.
“Every existence who has reached the fifth step can build their own spiritual Palace. Even some ordinary people with particularly strong willpower could do it. This is a special kind of existence. My eyes can’t see through these palaces, and no one else can.”
since an ability user on the fifth stage can build a spirit Palace, it’s only natural that the 13 ultimate mysterious creatures can do it.
“Each of them has a spiritual Palace.”
an attack at the ultimate level is very dangerous. Once you fail, you’ll face the fate of being devoured or having your authority taken away.
just like the staff-hiding man and the pale hand at the fire seed. Even if they were defeated, they would have escaped at the first moment.
and the sword-wielder has already failed the trial. It’s strange in itself that he didn’t let his spiritual Palace escape at the first moment …
even if it’s just a projection, it’s still dangerous for him.
its way of doing things is equivalent to treating itself as prey …
As she spoke, she paused for a moment and looked at Lu Xin. also, this isn’t the only place that I feel strange.
in the beginning, I didn’t sense the existence of the sword-bearer’s spiritual Palace, so I thought that the sword-bearer was just casting a shadow. But later, I realized that the sword-bearer actually came with his real body. Now that he left behind the spiritual Palace, it’s also proof.
but, if the spiritual Palace is also in reality, his power won’t …
“..”
Lu Xin noticed the slight pause in his mother’s words and asked curiously, “”It can’t be this strong?”
“It won’t be that weak,” her mother shook her head.
Lu Xin was. little surprised as he recalled the shocking confrontation just now.
This thing is weak?
“When you were fighting against the sword-wielder just now, did you notice that he was actually very rigid?”
Lu Xin’s mother saw through his confusion and whispered, ” many of them just react subconsciously, as slow as machines.
even after he went crazy and attracted the mental power that exceeded the limit of what he could bear in reality to himself, he didn’t have enough will to use it. He just subconsciously destroyed everything around him like a madman, and he didn’t have any sense of battle.
“..”
Lu Xin nodded in agreement.
There was indeed one.
Even he found it hard to imagine what would happen if the sword-wielder had battle awareness.
In other words, he could use his mental power reasonably to cause as much damage as possible.
In fact, even now, he had an advantage.
At first, he had stabbed half of the sword of judgment into the sword-holder’s chest before he could react, which led to his mental confusion. Even though his mental power had become stronger, he could no longer form an effective attack.
Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to imagine.
..
..
“So …”
Lu Xin looked up at the black Temple and said, “”Should we go in and take a look?”
After a while, her mother gently nodded.
we should go in and take a look, but we need to be careful …
. The appearance of the sword holder and his behavior are too strange.. she reminded him in. low voice.
Lu Xin was about to step out of the room when he retracted his hand and said cautiously, “”What should be inside?”
the consciousness of the sword holder …
“The midnight court is the sword wielder’s spiritual Palace,” his mother said softly.
and the spiritual Palace is the heart of the sword-holder, so it should contain his own will and thoughts.
“We have to be careful because of this.”
because the sword-bearer’s performance just now didn’t seem like he had a spiritual core at all.
“Or should I say … No brain?”
“..”
At this point, Lu Xin suddenly thought of something and subconsciously pointed to his head.
He was asking his mother,”is there something wrong with its brain?”
“Of course, the sword holder’s brain is abnormal.”
Her mother chuckled and said,”but in qingang, it’s at least second to last …”
he’s still better than the one in the city who doesn’t know if he’ll run home even if it rains. So, it’s not normal …
“..”
“You can’t say that …”
Lu Xin thought to himself as he objected to his mother’s words.
The doll must have known that it was raining and ran home … At the very least, he knew how to hold an umbrella.
“No matter what, let’s go in and take. look …”
After making his decision, Lu Xin took a few deep breaths to regain his composure.
Then, he was the first to step forward, slowly walking towards the black Temple, or rather, the midnight court.
Little by little, he stepped onto the steps between reality and illusion.
Surrounded by the sparse mental power, he approached the door of the court with curiosity.
be careful of the judges of the midnight court. They are very good at distorting things and affecting your thinking …
it’s a spiritual Palace after all, ” his mother reminded him. there might be all kinds of strange things hidden here.
Lu Xin nodded his head lightly, showing a slightly alert expression.
His father was also breathing heavily, and he could feel his eagerness.
finally, this opportunity has come …
“..”
Lu Xin suddenly realized that his father wasn’t nervous. Instead, he seemed to be a little eager.
Lu Xin couldn’t help but glance at his father, who was looking ahead nervously. Sensing Lu Xin’s curiosity, his father turned his head away.
“It’s useless for you to swallow the spiritual Palace of judgment …” His mother said with a faint smile.
His father snorted and whispered,”it’s better than nothing …”
..
..
Lu Xin felt that things were getting a little complicated, so he decided to ignore it. He walked up the stairs and arrived at the door.
The black door was half-open, and there was an empty space inside.
Lu Xin turned around to look at the people around him. Seeing that everyone was prepared, he slowly stepped forward and pressed on the door.
After a moment of hesitation, he covered his left palm with black particles and pushed the door open.
Wuuu …
Suddenly, a strong wind rolled out of the hall.
At this moment, the whole family looked a little more serious as they looked into the hall.
They had already made all the preparations, ready to face the executioner.
However, Lu Xin’s expression quickly changed to one of shock and confusion.
Not only him, but his mother, father, and sister were also slightly stunned.
They had already arrived at the midnight court and were ready to face the midnight judge, but they found that there was no judge.
Several black ropes hung down from the high dome.
There were seven people in black robes hanging from it, floating back and forth in the air.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the Hanged men were all wearing the robes of a judge. This seemed to show their identity. They were judges, but they were hung in the temple like sinners to atone for their crimes forever.
The judge had been hung to death in the court by midnight.
The surroundings suddenly became abnormally quiet. In the dark temple, only the sound of the night wind passing through could be heard.
..
..
the sword-wielder has long been dead …
Lu Xin turned around and saw a look of shock on his mother’s face. its mental core has been killed …
what has just descended is only his body …
“No wonder, no wonder …”
“But …”
Her mother’s eyes became even weirder, and even a little fearful. “Who killed the sword-wielder?”
No one could answer her mother’s words.
Only the Crimson Moon in the sky seemed to shine even brighter, and all that was left was the only eye in the sky.
It had already become much dimmer, but the light was even more demonic.
Its light was extremely bright in an instant, then it slowly dimmed and finally disappeared completely.
The last light seemed to be a kind of mockery, looking down on the people in reality.
