Chapter 311 The King and His Mount
In a maze made up of only bookshelves.
Qi Hao walked alone, occasionally pulling out a book from the bookshelf.
"Star Journey," "Super Beast Force," "Kamen Rider Saber," and "Pokémon: Crimson and Purple" Gameplay Guide
"This is really..."
Qi Hao's tone was slightly wistful.
"Precious memories."
Qi Hao carefully put the book back, not daring to open it, afraid that it might only contain blank pages or perhaps some fragmented text.
"Come out, I've been wandering around long enough." Qi Hao closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was a formless black mist.
"Yo! Long time no see... no, it should be that it's been a long time since we've met in this way, Your Majesty!" The evil spirit's tone was still as arrogant as ever.
Qi Hao was already used to it, and his expression was indifferent: "Alright, alright, I know I was the one who went back on my word first. I apologize to you. Now can you tell me how to cancel our agreement?"
"Hey! What's with that expression? You think this will make me shake hands and make peace with you?" The evil spirit's tone was unfriendly. "You're still the same, a slow-witted idiot! Our relationship isn't good enough for jokes."
"Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. What do you think?"
Qi Hao was slightly puzzled upon hearing this: "What do you mean, what do I think?"
"I wasn't asking you." Although the evil spirit had no face, it still rolled its eyes at Qi Hao.
A figure in pure black emerged from behind him.
"Ah Ren? No, this color is a bit too dark." Qi Hao frowned. What is this?
"No, just as I am you, she is Blade!" the evil spirit denied. "That part of her was separated from my body from the very beginning. If she were here, I wouldn't be able to attack you!"
The evil spirit spoke, but then suddenly changed its tone: "However! It seems that when it comes to the ownership of the title of king, even if the opponent is you, you will still make a move!"
Immediately afterwards, the evil spirit began to merge with the black A-Ren.
Instead of Qi Hao wearing armor, the evil spirit transformed into a human form exactly like Qi Hao!
With black hair and pupils, dressed in a black outfit, she transformed into a form equal to Qi Hao's.
"How is it? I'm completely complete! Not bad for my opposite, right!" The evil spirit took out the magic stone core from its robes and put it in its mouth. "I really have to thank this thing, otherwise I wouldn't have mastered all the malice so quickly!"
He yanked hard and bit the magic stone core off the hanging rope.
Gurgle.
The magic stone core was swallowed.
A dark aura enveloped us.
Qi Hao didn't even need to think about it; only the world's malice could be this dark.
"You're uncomfortable if I don't hit you, aren't you?" Qi Hao put on a stern face, but he still didn't intend to make a move.
Qi Hao glanced at the scabbard at his waist.
Damn! His fluorescent light tube... oh no, it's a knife-shaped fluorescent light!
You deserve to die a thousand times over, Shedran!
Just as Qi Hao was cursing in his heart, the evil spirit had already pulled out the giant serpent's jaws: "You like using my knife, huh?"
"Try it for yourself!" The evil spirit flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Qi Hao instinctively turned to the side, dodging the evil spirit's slash, and retreated to create distance.
He could sense that if he was even a fraction slower to dodge, or if he tried to retaliate, the strike would quickly turn into a swallow's return, catching him completely off guard.
As for why I know...
Because that's Qi Hao's fighting style. The way he fights can't be said to be similar to that of the evil spirits; it can only be said to be exactly the same!
"Hey! What's the difference between the king and his mount?"
The evil spirit inquired.
Qi Hao didn't reply, just stood there facing him, though he was actually quite willing to listen.
“I’m not asking you childish questions like people and horses, or two legs and four legs.”
"It doesn't matter what appearance, ability, or strength they possess! If there are two identical beings, which one will be the king who dominates the battle!"
"And the remaining one, naturally, will serve as a mount to provide auxiliary support!"
"And what are the differences between them?"
The evil spirit spoke loudly, as if afraid that Qi Hao would miss a single word.
"I don't have a Zanpakuto, so I can't answer your question." Qi Hao shook his head, and for some reason, he was sweating.
"No! You have it! The Great Serpent Jaw Gate should have been your weapon! Otherwise, how could you have so easily taken away a power as strong as the Reality-Cutting Blade! I am you! This has never changed from beginning to end!" The evil spirit's words revealed many secrets.
"And you and I both know the answer to the previous one."
"It's instinct!"
"You think killing a few spirits who deserved to die will bring you any retribution? Look at what you're doing!"
"You killed only evil people! If you didn't kill them, were you going to let them harm even more people? Do you still believe in the will of Heaven regarding life and death? If there really was a will of Heaven, would you need to be resurrected?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Hao frowned, but quickly relaxed: "You're right, but I just feel that life shouldn't be so fragile. At least I won't hesitate when I'm killing."
"Oh! Then why don't you accept it?" The evil spirit raised a ball of black mist.
Qi Hao fell silent immediately.
"For those who possess the same power to unleash extraordinary strength, what is needed! What is needed to become a king! It is to be single-mindedly devoted to the pursuit of battle! The pursuit of power!"
"Leave no enemy unscathed! Crush them all! Shred them! Chop them up!! An absolute thirst for battle!"
"Why merely master it? Instead of accepting it! Integrating into it! Unleashing the deepest, most primal, and battle-trained killing instincts etched within us!!"
The evil spirit waved its hand arrogantly, making no attempt to hide the contempt in its eyes for Qi Hao!
"Because you don't have any of those qualities! Your instincts have long been stripped away by yourself! You've managed to get this far solely out of passion, which is truly admirable!"
The evil spirit mocked as it walked step by step toward Qi Hao.
But Qi Hao remained calm and unmoved, rendering the evil spirit's words as mere whimpers.
"You always fight based on your extremely high moral standards! You try to defeat the enemy based on your basic human decency!"
Sheath your sword! Who can you kill besides a few small fry?!
The evil spirit sheathed its sword and lowered its body slightly: "So you're weaker than me!"
"Qi Hao!!" The evil spirit rushed forward and slashed Qi Hao's left shoulder down to his waist with its sword!
Qi Hao was sent flying backwards, not for any other reason than that he genuinely hadn't reacted in time; the evil spirit was indeed more skilled at killing than he was.
Of course, the main reason is not the difference in combat power.
It was Qi Hao who was distracted.

Before the two gods of dreams.
A white light flashed from Qi Hao's chest, and chains extended out, activating the Heart of Still Water and connecting all the elves together.
One of them disappeared halfway through the air, only to be caught in the pincers of the old man outside the secret realm, who looked on with a puzzled expression.
Aren lay down next to Qihao, looking at the sky, and put the upper part of his crown ring on Qihao's hand.
guess what?
The evil spirit was right about some things.
Qi Hao and his instincts are indeed completely opposite.
He's still thinking about the elves, while the evil spirits are already eager to kill Qi Hao.
Since we're equal in strength, right? So even if there's a huge difference in instincts, as long as there's no decisive power, there's no need to worry about being instantly killed by the opponent.
