Chapter 175: Struggle


    "What is he doing!!?" Valerie watched Han Ming''s self - mutilation with a thrill of horror, but couldn''t figure out the reason. The castle was gone, and she slowly landed on the ground.


    Chilard gasped for breath: "He is self - mutilating, struggling against the Hydra Emperor. This kid must have some secret technique to suppress the Hydra Emperor. Otherwise, such a scene would never occur."


    Valerie asked worriedly: "You old ghost are most knowledgeable about some magical secrets. Stop teasing me and tell me quickly. What on earth is going on!?"


    Chilard gave a bitter smile and replied: "This time you''ve stumped me. Although I have a wide range of knowledge, I can''t guess at all what this kid''s ability is. I''ve never heard of any magic manual that can control the beast soul across four levels. Not to mention how he subdued this Hydra Emperor, just the fact that he can make the core of the Hydra Emperor rest quietly in his body is simply incomprehensible. I guess he must have had some adventure and accidentally obtained some world - class magic manual. Fortunately, it''s like this. Otherwise, even if he regained his senses now, he would not be able to suppress the Hydra Emperor. It''s much better now. Look, he can temporarily control his own body. The rest depends entirely on his own will."


    Hearing what Chilard said, Valerie asked anxiously: "What''s the principle behind this? We all understand. During the process of a person absorbing a beast soul, the beast soul has already been refined and used by oneself. It can be said that the beast soul no longer has any consciousness of its former life at all. How can there be a situation where the beast soul competes with the owner for the dominant right of the body?"


    Chilard sighed softly: "It''s true as you say, but this is only within the understanding range of ordinary people. In fact, if the beast soul is far too different from one''s own strength, it is absolutely possible for this situation to occur. It''s just that..."


    "Just what?" Valerie asked hurriedly.


    "Don''t you think about it? How can an ordinary person absorb the core of a magic beast across so many levels? Who has the ability to rely on his second - level strength to absorb a sixth - level beast soul? This is simply incomprehensible. So, naturally, no one knows the situation where the beast soul can take over. I learned this from an ancient document before."


    "What you said is also right..." Valerie was speechless too.


    Second level, absorb a sixth - level beast soul...


    What a joke...


    "Get back!!"


    Han Ming''s eyes were bloodshot, and he reached behind him with one hand and tore off another snake head.


    Blood poured down from the sky in a whoosh.


    "God! Look quickly!!"


    The cavalry team had run far away to avoid the huge tornado. Due to the long distance, they couldn''t see Han Ming''s situation clearly at all, but they were horrified to find that the rotation speed of the huge tornado was actually slowing down gradually and had begun to show an eerie light blue color.


    The tornado was released by Valerie herself, so it would not attack her. And Chilard was with Valerie, so he was also very safe.


    "Get back! You have to listen to my command!"


    Han Ming roared again and tore off another snake head.


    "Roar..."


    The Hydra Emperor let out a deafening painful roar. The sky changed color, and large patches of snowflakes began to fall from the sky.


    "It''s snowing... In summer, it''s actually snowing..."


    Behrman was shocked and reached out to catch a snowflake.


    "Chilard, you old ghost! What are you still doing!?"


    "What? I haven''t done anything." Chilard was originally concentrating on watching Han Ming''s movements in the sky. At this moment, when Valerie suddenly asked him a question, he was a little confused.


    "You old idiot!! Hurry up and absorb the energy of the magic crystal to recover your strength. If that kid succeeds later, you have to save him at the first time. Otherwise, even if you bleed to death, you''ll die!! Fool!"


    "Ah, why didn''t you say it earlier! You stinky woman!" Chilard was enlightened by Valerie''s words, and his old face blushed. He quickly absorbed the magic energy and waited for the result of Han Ming''s struggle with the Hydra Emperor at any time.


    "The... the... the tornado..."


    A cavalryman was dumbfounded and almost couldn''t speak anymore.


    The huge tornado had actually stopped rotating at this time and had turned into a huge ice sculpture that connected the sky above and the ground below.


    Everyone was stunned.


    "Can... can the wind also be frozen?"


    Behrman gulped and swallowed his saliva. He only felt his mouth dry. Such a shocking scene, even if he just heard about it, he had never heard of it before.


    "Han, my young friend!"


    Mullen ran back from afar again. Seeing the scene in the sky, he was also stunned.


    "This... Is this the power of the sixth - level... Hydra Emperor?"


    "Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


    A shrill scream came from the sky. This scream was mixed with sadness, pain, and unwillingness.


    "Let it out, let it out, and you''ll feel better."


    Mullen looked at Han Ming in the sky and said with a heartache.


    "Gratitude and love are originally an unsolvable multiple - choice question. Han, my young friend, I hope you can figure it out. I believe you will make the right choice. Sometimes, people don''t live just for these two things."

    Han Ming scratched his body like a madman. Scales mixed with blood fell down one after another. He cried bitterly, but not because of the pain, but because of the heartache.


    "A man, how can he cry?"


    "Okay, this is the last time I cry. I will never do it again."


    Han Ming''s mind was still echoing with the gentle voice of Kuro.


    "Never again, never again!!"


    Han Ming roared and wiped the tears on his face.


    "No matter what will happen to us in the future, no matter whether I will kill you or not, it is you, Kuro, who made me have a deep - seated love and made me mature. Thank you, really thank you..."


    Han Ming wiped the tears on his face with a pair of blood - stained hands, and his eyes radiated a tenacious expression.


    "Get back!!"


    Han Ming roared to the sky, put his hands behind him, and tore off the last few snake heads together at the roots.


    "Roar..."


    The Hydra Emperor finally let out the last reluctant wail and turned into a beam of light and shadow and fled into Han Ming''s body.


    "Behave yourself!!"


    Han Ming violently operated the Water God Skill and firmly imprisoned the core of the Hydra Emperor next to his own core.


    The snowfall in the sky stopped.


    "Quick, catch him! He succeeded!!"


    Mullen shouted from afar, crying with joy.


    Valerie had been waiting below. She quickly ran over and hugged Han Ming who was falling down.


    "I''ll do it!"


    Chilard quickly pressed his hands on Han Ming''s chest who had fainted, and the wooden magic energy kept pouring in.


    "What''s your name?"


    Li Chengfeng looked at the woman who was swallowing food greedily and asked gently.


    "Kuro."


    "Um, it''s a very nice name. Eat slowly, don''t be in a hurry." Li Chengfeng gently picked up a handkerchief and wiped the grease on Kuro''s mouth.


    Kuro''s body suddenly leaned back and dodged, looking at Li Chengfeng warily.


    "Hehe, don''t be afraid. I won''t hurt you. Besides, with your strength, I have no chance to hurt you either."


    Kuro sighed softly and said sadly: "I''m afraid I can''t use my power casually anymore in the future. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."


    "I''m full. Goodbye." Kuro wiped her mouth and stood up to leave.


    Li Chengfeng quickly left the table and said: "How can you leave like this? Look at you. You don''t even have clothes on."


    Kuro looked down at herself. The tattered clothes were indeed too conspicuous.


    "Let''s go. I''ll take you to buy two sets of clothes that fit you."


    Li Chengfeng smiled and reached out to pull Kuro''s hand, but was dodged by Kuro again.


    At night.


    Li Chengfeng gently jumped onto the roof and quietly stood behind Kuro, listening to the woman who was squatting on the eaves and sobbing in front of him.


    "I dare not see him again..."


    Li Chengfeng sighed softly, sat quietly beside Kuro, and asked gently: "Are you thinking about your sweetheart? Why dare you not see him again?"


    Kuro shook her head painfully: "You don''t understand, you don''t understand anything. I don''t want him to see me in this ghostly state. If I go crazy in front of him and accidentally hurt him, I will hate myself for a lifetime."


    Kuro carefully took out the rough wooden carving, as cautious as holding a night - blooming cereus that was about to wither at any moment.


    Her delicate fingers gently wiped the carving and stroked along every pattern.


    "This is the direction he once carved..."


    Li Chengfeng looked at the woman in front of him. Her big, clear and bright eyes were full of tenderness. She looked at the wooden carving in her hand as if she was looking at her own whole world.


    "What kind of person on earth can win such love from you. I think he must be a very excellent man."


    Kuro couldn''t hear any external sounds in her ears anymore. There was only this wooden carving in her eyes, only the man she was thinking of in her heart.


    "Do you really not want to find him? If you want to, I am willing to accompany you to find him. Even if it is to the ends of the earth, I am willing to accompany you. I believe that since you love him so deeply, he will definitely not care about your current appearance. I don''t understand love and haven''t experienced it either, but I''ve heard that no matter how far the distance and difficulties are, they can''t stop love."


    Kuro''s tears flowed gently, and suddenly her body shuddered violently.


    "What''s wrong?" Li Chengfeng asked hurriedly.


    "No! No! I can''t think of him! Can''t think of him!!"


    Kuro''s eyes began to slowly fill with blood and turned slightly red.


    "Can''t! As soon as I think of him, I can''t control myself! You quickly go, leave here quickly!"


    Kuro anxiously pushed Li Chengfeng.


    "What exactly happened?"


    Li Chengfeng was pushed far away by Kuro and asked anxiously.


    "Quiet, quiet..." Kuro gasped violently and quickly wiped the tears on her face. She stared at the wooden carving in front of her. When she was emotional, she would trigger the murderous intent, but it was also when she looked at the wooden carving and touched the deepest chord in her heart that she could maintain the most stable calm.


    The two were contradictory to each other, but also blended with each other.


    "Ha... Ha..." Kuro tightly grasped the wooden carving, and the ups and downs of her chest gradually calmed down.


    "I must be able to find that balance point."
