Chapter 272 Amethyst Frenzy 4
"Everyone, where are we going?"
As the purple crystal powder in the sky receded, a figure appeared beside the crowd. At this time, he stepped on the fourth brother's body, and purple crystals had already spread along the fourth brother's wound at the point of contact.
The leader took a close look at Qige. There were only about twenty to thirty people in the Hedao period in the Longyuan Dynasty. Although Qige had changed a little in appearance, he was still recognizable. Especially as the military advisor, Li Xiang knew the movements of these people very well.
"You are? Zig!"
"Oh, it's really hard for all the great priests to still remember a marginal little person like me!" Sieg casually shot out a purple crystal from the ground and kept playing with it in his hand.
"Weren't you sent to Nanzhao Kingdom to take care of the Emperor's bloodline? Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? Humph! Of course it's to take your lives!" At this time, Sieg pressed his palm downwards, and the purple crystal in his hand instantly pierced into the body of the fourth brother. Looking at him spitting blood, Sieg felt a sense of pleasure of revenge.
"Stop it, let's discuss it. If our brothers have done anything wrong in the past, I apologize to you on their behalf!"
When Li Xiang saw the fourth brother's painful groan, he knew that today's matter would be difficult. He could only secretly send a message to the people behind him to be careful and alert. He tried to delay time as much as possible so that they could recover some spiritual power.
"You old bastards, now you know how to beg for mercy. When I came out of seclusion to earn some merits in exchange for my life, he forcibly took away half of them. Taking my merits is equivalent to taking my life. Don't you think it's too much for me to seek revenge on him?"
After saying that, he stepped on the fourth brother under his feet and considerately slowed down the spread of the purple crystal for him.
Li Xiang knew at a glance that he had really touched someone's vital point. Those who needed to leave the country would indeed have some merit deducted every time they crossed the military camp. They were garrison troops guarding the border, and they did not have much money in the past. This was also a tacit matter. They had always relied on the reputation of Jiang Xuan and their family, so even if they did it, no one dared to care.
People like Qi Ge who took advantage of others to get to the top and didn't intend to take sides were always looked down upon by their aristocratic families and the military, so the fourth brother asked for more last time, but he didn't expect that the situation would change and it would fall into his hands so quickly. Now people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Since Qi Ge had made a sneak attack, it was probably a rebellion. Li Xiang calculated and felt a pang in his heart. He immediately sent a message to the people behind him:
"We have met an enemy this time. Who knows, this purple crystal may also be the work of the Shuiyue Dynasty. If Sieg betrays us, we will be his token of allegiance. We can't delay any longer. There is still some energy in the tiger talisman. I will use it to launch a sneak attack. You take the fourth brother and run quickly. Let's run as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Li Xiang immediately took out the tiger talisman in his hand, and then injected all the spiritual energy in his body into it. The tiger talisman immediately shot out a golden light. Sieg felt something was wrong, and before he could resist, half of his head was knocked off by the golden light.
The other people felt a little relieved when they saw this. With such serious injuries, even a person in the Hedao stage would probably not escape death. However, before they could relax, they suddenly heard a cold laugh coming from the opposite side. This laugh seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, revealing endless gloom and terror.
The next moment, they were shocked to find that a very strange smile suddenly appeared on the remaining half of Sieg's face standing opposite them. Then, they saw that Sieg's whole body began to quickly become transparent, just like those purple crystal figurines they encountered before!
The flesh, blood and bones that were originally clearly visible gradually disappeared, and were replaced by a layer of crystal clear crystal cross-section. He just waved his hand, and the purple crystals growing on the ground kept flying up and merging into Sieg's wounds. As the body continued to recover, several sharp purple crystals appeared beside Sieg and pointed at them.
Just when Sieg was about to shoot out these purple crystals, the dying Fourth Brother on the ground suddenly jumped up and punched Sieg on the wound that had not yet healed. Then Sieg's entire head exploded and the purple crystals floating around him fell down.
"Run, he is immortal, I can't hold him off for much longer, hurry... uh!" The fourth brother looked at the crystal hand that suddenly pierced through his chest, and a large amount of blood immediately flowed out of the corner of his mouth. However, his body could no longer move at this time, because everything below the chest had turned into purple crystal. At this time, his body seemed to melt and was constantly being absorbed by Sieg behind him.
"Hey, monster, you are not Sieg at all. You are a minion of the demon from outside the domain. Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
Just as Lao Si's body began to turn into purple crystal, his mind seemed to be infinitely stretched, and he could feel a strange energy pouring into his body from the outside world like a tide.
At the same time, a familiar yet strange muttering arose in his mind. This muttering echoed endlessly in Lao Si's mind, as if explaining the truth of the universe to him. At this moment, he seemed to have an invisible key, and under the urging of the muttering, he quietly opened a door to an unknown area.
In a chaotic and blurry sea of consciousness, he seemed to be in a vast universe, with countless bright stars twinkling around him, each emitting a powerful and heart-pounding aura, and the whispers were also echoing in the depths of the universe.
As time went by, those nameless mutterings became louder and louder. They intertwined together to form an incomprehensible symphony. Guided by this melody, his mind gradually became distorted and crazy.
He began to sing along with the inexplicable song, and countless distorted truths emerged. Although he could not understand what he was reading, he was still unconsciously calling out a name - Zagreus Dionysus!
When this name appeared without warning, an indescribable joy surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He began to call out the name that appeared in his mind. His soul seemed to be constantly sublimating. He could feel that his soul had transcended the world and was ascending to an unspeakable dimension in the universe. He could even see his world slowly turning into a sphere.
However, at this moment, a dazzling golden light flashed before his eyes without any warning, and then a powerful force that made people's heart palpitate swept over. In an instant, his consciousness seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, which quickly shrank and compressed inwards, causing him to break away from that state of bliss.
When he finally came to his senses, he saw that the head of Sieg who had injured him had been blown to pieces, but his body had been eroded by the power of Amethyst, and his soul was filled with countless distorted knowledge. It was as if a new consciousness was born in his body, telling him not to refuse to become a part of Amethyst.
Fortunately, he had the cultivation level of the Hedao stage, so he could barely maintain the last bit of sanity. When he looked at Sieg again, the knowledge in the depths of his soul that had been distorted beyond recognition seemed to suddenly awaken, allowing him to see Sieg's true nature.
At this moment, he finally understood that Sieg in front of him was nothing to worry about. If he and others were not injured, dealing with Sieg would not be a problem. The terrifying thing about Amethyst was not the strength of its host, but its ability to absorb spiritual energy to reproduce. He could feel that his body was constantly changing, and once the change was completed, the consciousness loyal to Amethyst would completely devour it.
And what really made him feel creepy was not Sieg himself, but a certain existence behind Sieg. He had no idea who the name Zagreus-Dionysus referred to, but he could feel that He was covering the entire world with His tentacles.
In his eyes, the world has been shrouded in a shadow, and Sieg's power comes from this shadow. He can see that there is a black thread connecting Sieg to the sky. As long as the shadow is still there, he will not die. What's more terrifying is that in addition to Sieg, the Longyuan Dynasty is densely distributed with countless black threads. Each thread represents an existence similar to Sieg. They are intricately intertwined together to form a huge and strange network.
