Chapter 168: Fighting the Inner Demon
Chapter 168: Fighting the Inner Demon
Just as Shi Chenguang was thinking about why he was suddenly called, a big hand reached out from below and supported the Earth Shadow Stone floating in the air.
When he saw the appearance of the person who came, Shi Chenguang, who was originally a little dazed, suddenly became sober.
The opponent had different five elements armor features, including dragon body, eagle arms, tiger shoulders, mastiff back, and rhino legs. His whole body was mainly gold, with silver embellishments.
In the Tai Chi pattern in the center of its Qiankun belt, totems of the Fire Dragon, Wind Eagle, Earth Tiger, Black Rhino, and Snow Mastiff surround it.
Witnessing the figure that was exactly the same as in his memory, Shi Chenguang couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Emperor Man!?"
Unlike the previous encounter with the old man from Shenshan, this time it was not only the earth tiger totem that lit up on Shi Chenguang's arm.
The white snow mastiff totem and the black black rhino totem lit up at the same time the next moment, and the three armor totems circled around the arm.
Wow, it seems I’ve met the real person this time.
I don’t know why this great god suddenly came to visit me.
"As for the evolution of the Earth Tiger Armor, do you hope for light or darkness?"
"what?"
The sudden words caught Shi Chenguang off guard, and the words he had just thought of turned into a surprised sound.
As if noticing that he was a little anxious, Emperor Xia had to explain patiently:
"Although the Earth Shadow Stone recognized you, you did not choose to accept communication with the Earth Shadow Stone."
"If you want to complete the armor upgrade like the Flame Dragon Knight in another world, then the most important thing now is not to pursue external things, but to liberate your inner self."
"You were too content with your current life in the first half of your life. Even if you rely on your past strength now, you are still unable to fully utilize it."
Hearing this, Shi Chenguang raised his arm, then turned the side that manifested the Earth Tiger Totem and took it into his eyes.
Based on the people and things he encountered before, Shi Chenguang knew that his memory had been artificially changed, but what he had collected so far were only scattered fragments.
He tried to piece it together, but all he could remember were sad faces.
It was as if he had died in front of them in a very important capacity.
I remember that the black magic fairy Xiaoyue, whom I only met once, once said that her past and future were dead.
If we follow this clue and combine it with what we learned from Shark, that in his previous life he had defeated a group of sea generals and beat Commander A Ming so hard that he had to rely on a cold storage cabin to survive for a thousand years.
And that’s not all.
Xuan Yizi, King Beidouxing, Old Man Shenshan... They all spoke to him in a familiar tone.
Lu Fa, who has a wider range of knowledge in the universe, and villains such as Bao Zu Chong and General Ji Pi would show surprise when they saw his external form.
But apart from the dramas he had watched before, Shi Chenguang had no unexpected impression of these people.
Looking at Shi Chenguang who was lost in thought, Emperor Xia did not say much, but just gently raised his palm to support him.
The Earth Shadow Stone in his hand seemed to feel the call from Shi Chenguang's heart, and the entire stone transformed into countless light particles and began to merge into the other's body.
When his consciousness lurked in the deepest part of the sea of memory, Shi Chenguang, who was originally floating in space, only saw the scenery in front of him constantly changing.
His entire body was like a drowning person, unable to struggle and began to sink continuously.
In a trance, he saw his past life.
Of course, it cannot be completely said to be the previous life.
After all, I have missed many memories of my previous lives.
I remember that was the first time I turned on the TV to watch cartoons as a child.
Strange characters, strange settings.
Although the story did immerse him in it, every time a commercial came on, the boy, who had originally immersed himself in the story, could only sit in front of the TV dejectedly, waiting for the next episode of the cartoon to be broadcast.
As time goes by, more and more animations are being shown, and they are no longer confined to a heavy TV.
Computers, mobile phones, tablets... When the express train of the Internet age started, the boy who had not yet realized that he had grown up turned off the TV for the last time.
Shi Chenguang didn't understand why he was recalling these not-so-good memories, but he still waited patiently for the subsequent scenes to appear.
As time fast-forwards again, the boy still hasn't given up his love for animation, and even picked up his paintbrush again to start recording these.
But in this process, no one is willing to just watch him fulfill his passion.
"How old are you? Why are you still watching these childish things?"
"The stuff in there is just kidding. It's time for you to grow up."
"Who wants to watch this childish stuff? Even three-year-olds nowadays don't watch it."
"If you ask me, these children's movies are nothing good. They're not as good as those TV dramas."
"..."
Childish, ridiculous and boring.
In response to these words, even when he became a youth or even an adult, he never gave up the treasure he had picked up.
Finally, he seemed to sense something and turned around to meet the gaze of Shi Chenguang, who was a bystander.
Facing the shouts of the people around him, he whispered, not knowing whether to himself or to Shi Chenguang:
"We can't go back, boy."
As he leaned his whole body back, the hand that was quickly extended could only barely brush the corner of his clothes and was unable to retain him.
When a wave suddenly exploded on the calm water surface, Shi Chenguang woke up from his confusion.
The ending that he had never thought of in his first life suddenly emerged in his mind, and then turned into the most insignificant soul in time and traveled through time and space.
Seeing this, Shi Chenguang's emotions burst out in an instant, and purple energy like air flow began to surround him and gradually turned into a tornado rising into the sky.
Shenguang, the sinking light of life.
The illusions around him began to crack as his mental energy burst out, and even the sound of shattering lenses could be heard.
"You shouldn't be recalling this."
The huge hand covered in black mist easily disintegrated the cracked illusions around it, and then covered the surrounding scene with black mist.
When Shi Chenguang turned his head, he saw the familiar Earth Tiger Armor appear in his sight.
However, the opponent's posture was different from the previous one he had when he merged with himself. There was no trace of the yellow color belonging to the earth element on his body.
Seeing the other party's pitch-black armor and the scarlet-glowing eyepiece, Shi Chenguang muttered:
"So you want to defeat this inner demon?"
He stretched out his hand to take out the armor summoner, but he couldn't touch any item.
Glancing at the system's storage space, Shi Chenguang was shocked to find that there was only a blank space left.
It seems that this time I can only rely on my own will to fight.
I have indeed relied too much on armor.
"In that case, then bring your horse over."
The dark tiger first roared intimidatingly, then pounced forward on all fours.
Faced with such strange behavior, although Shi Chenguang had some complaints, he still concentrated on dealing with it.
He used his toes to push his entire body backward to avoid the attack. Shi Chenguang clenched his right fist, brought it to his waist, and began to infuse his mental energy into it.
When the Dark Tiger stood up and was about to attack again, his fist had already hit the opponent and sparks began to fly.
While the opponent was forced to retreat, Shi Chenguang seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
With a burst of sparks flying, the dark tiger was hammered back repeatedly.
Shi Chenguang continued to attack as if ignoring the pain of his flesh hitting the armor, and after retracting one fist he would alternately throw out another.
Seeing that he could not gain an advantage in the frontal battlefield, the Dark Tiger immediately took advantage of the opponent's alternating fists to hide, and his entire body was instantly hidden in the surrounding black fog.
Seeing this, Shi Chenguang did not dare to be careless and began to escape to the side based on his intuition.
The next moment, a dark tiger fell from the sky, only to crash directly into the ground and stir up more black fog.
Just as he looked up to find the target figure, Shi Chenguang's calf had already arrived in front of him and started kicking him away.
This was not over yet. Shi Chenguang raised his hand to release the energy of earth, and the magic fairy crystal ring that came to the deepest part of his consciousness burst out with a dazzling light.
The Dark Tiger did not dare to be careless and quickly opened his arms to absorb the surrounding black fog and condense it into a protective shield to resist.
The battle resumes.
With a flash of golden light, Shi Chenguang had a pair of heavy arm armor on his hands, while the Dark Earth Tiger held the Dark Earth-Splitting Knife in his backhand.
He took the lead and flew forward to close the distance, and Shi Chenguang hurriedly waved his arms to block.
When the Earth-Splitting Blade collided with the arm armor, the energy covering it began to burst out with a terrifying impact, and the thick black fog around it was directly dispersed for the most part in the next moment.
Beyond these faintly appearing and dissipating black mists, Shi Chenguang accidentally caught a glimpse of the memory of the Demon Fairy Queen.
But this was only a momentary scene, and the surrounding black fog gathered again to cover it tightly.
Seeing that it actually had this effect, Shi Chenguang changed his fighting purpose and immediately cast a magic spell to put on a pair of boxing gloves.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
After several consecutive full-strength fist bumps, Shi Chenguang became increasingly annoyed by the black mist that was about to dissipate but then reassembled again.
However, considering that the dark earth tiger, the incarnation of the inner demon on the opposite side, seemed to be getting stronger as the battle went on, just like himself, he couldn't be distracted.
Shi Chenguang used his fingernail to wipe off the shallow wound on his face left by the knife, then adjusted his state and set out to fight again.
