Chapter 1518: Poor Guy and Scapegoat
The Xuansu sword formation was broken so easily by Tianjizi, and Duan Qing looked a little desperate.
"Old guy, even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
After saying that, Duan Qing casually took a Moxu sword into his hand and raised the sword to kill himself.
boom!
Before Mo Xu's sword touched Duan Qing's skin, it was suddenly bounced away.
Tianjizi stared at Duan Qing with a mocking look on his face: "Boy, things have come to this point, and you still want to die. You are too naive."
Duan Qing looked around at all the unconscious people at the scene and laughed at himself: "Haha, why...why does it have to be me!"
Duan Qing's voice got louder and louder, and finally he roared.
"There are so many people here, why did you, old man, just choose me!"
The corner of Tianjizi's mouth curled up slightly: "Not just anyone can be the scapegoat. If it had been someone else, I'd be afraid that the fate would backfire and die before all the tree roots were chopped off!"
"Boy, who makes you so lucky?"
"A scapegoat? It's true!" Duan Qing looked bitter.
"If I guess correctly, before I started cutting the roots of the tree, none of the people who were captured and imprisoned in the Evergreen Tree by you old man over the years should have died!"
"Those people are all genius elites from various stars. They are born according to the fate of heaven and earth. If you kill so many people with great luck at once, the karma of heaven will bite back. You old man, let alone breaking through to the holy realm, will probably lose your life." Can’t keep it!”
"And you just want to use endless luck to attack the holy realm, so you want to take away the luck of these people, but save the lives of those people, and use the azure tree to connect their lives!"
"Next, you old man just need to make up a lie and wait for a scapegoat to come to help you cut off the roots of the eternal azure tree and indirectly kill those poor people who have been deprived of their luck. In this way, you can clear your karma All the backlash was thrown at the scapegoat."
"And you can enjoy the luck you stole from those poor people without any scruples!"
"The so-called 栐 is just a fictional person you used to fabricate lies, right?"
Hearing this, Tianjizi looked at Duan Qing with a rare hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Boy, you are really smart. It seems that I made the right choice when I chose you."
"However, you are wrong about one thing."
"栠 is not a figment of my imagination, but a real existence. It once belonged to the consciousness of the eternal azure tree."
"It's just that that guy was too stubborn and refused to help me complete this plan. He has long been assimilated by me and became my clone."
"So, now I am my husband, and I am also my husband."
"As expected of the leader of Tianji Sect, he is so calculating!"
Duan Qing's words were 50% self-deprecating and 50% sincere admiration for Tianjizi's plan.
Obviously, the scapegoat is himself.
In order to completely avoid the responsibility of killing those poor people, when his spiritual power was exhausted, he did not use his own spiritual power or spiritual stones to replenish him. Instead, he took the bracelets of the unconscious people at the scene to collect spiritual energy. Stone, for fear of being stained with any trace of cause and effect.
Duan Qing even suspected that the so-called original power that Tianjizi blessed him with at the beginning was drawn from everyone present.
In the whole process of him cutting off the tree roots and killing those poor people, Tianjizi was not involved at all. But once he cuts off all the tree roots and kills those poor people whose lives are connected to the eternal azure tree, the karma caused by it will be The backlash will be fully borne by him, Duan Qing.
And Tianjizi, who stole all the luck of those poor people, only lost a clone!
Tian Jizi was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Duan Qing. His body turned into a burst of mist and dissipated in place, and then reappeared next to Xue Wanyun on the ground.
"Okay, kid, I've said all that needs to be said. You said before that some things are far more important than your own life. Now, it's time for you to practice what you said!"
As he said that, Tianjizi glanced at Xue Wanyun at his feet, and the threat was obvious.
Duan Qing didn't even look at Xue Wanyun: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Tian Jizi sneered and waved his big hand, and an unconscious man appeared out of thin air at his feet.
Duan Qing's expression changed immediately when he saw that man.
Curtain jade!
This old guy Tianjizi actually captured his master Mu Yu!
Duan Qing couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Tianjizi and gnashed his teeth angrily: "Old man, you accepted your master as your disciple just for today?"
Tianjizi was a little proud: "Hey, so what."
"As you live a long time, you have to take a long-term view of things. You should learn these things slowly in your next life."
Duan Qing's chest rose and fell violently, and he felt extremely uneasy: "When did you guess the identity of the young master?"
This old guy had clearly guessed his identity at the beginning, but when he returned to the Destiny Star, he even pretended not to know!
"It's just a surprise I got from an old friend. Boy, you don't need to know these things." Tianjizi became obviously impatient, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Boy, I count to three. If you don't cut down the last root, you will bear the consequences."
"one."
"two."
Before Tianjizi could say the last number, Duan Qing decisively controlled the Xuansu Sword Formation and began to cut down the last tree root at an unprecedented speed.
Seeing Duan Qing's move, Tianjizi showed a successful smile.
The last root of the Eternal Azure Tree was cut down by Duan Qing, and soon only the last root was still connected, which was about ten feet long.
At this time, the backlash of karma suffered by Duan Qing could no longer be described in words. His whole body was emitting a burning sensation, like a bun in a steamer, but from the outside, there was nothing abnormal, just an extremely painful face.
The Tianjizi clone who had been supervising Duan Qing behind him was also in a bad state. His body looked translucent and seemed to disappear at any time.
The Eternal Azure Tree was linked to the life of his clone. Once the roots of the Eternal Azure Tree were broken, his clone would naturally disappear.
However, he did not feel sorry about this, and was even very excited.
Sacrificing a clone could completely throw the backlash of karma to others. This deal was very cost-effective!
As long as the problem of karma was completely solved, his original body could completely refine the accumulated luck stolen for countless years to impact the holy realm he dreamed of.
For this day, he had waited too long and planned too long!
The entire Immortal Spirit Alliance has not produced a new holy realm for more than a million years, and today is the day when Tianjizi becomes a saint!
At this time, the last part of the tree root was also cut off by Duan Qing's Xuansu Sword Formation.
Seeing this scene, Tianjizi felt his soul tremble.
The wish he had longed for for countless years was finally fulfilled!
Suddenly, Tianjizi seemed to feel something, his expression froze instantly, and he roared at Duan Qing's back.
"What did you do...!"
Before he finished speaking, Tianjizi's clone had dissipated between heaven and earth as the vitality of the Eternal Azure Tree was cut off.
