A Life Flashing Before Your Eyes Before Death? / Scammer Fu Hua (Continued)
"Sushang wouldn't go for the kill... right?"
Kevin himself stopped believing it by the end.
Although they call her "Grandmaster," there is a blood feud at the end of "The Legend of the Divine Sword." Although they all believe that Fu Hua could not have done it, Li Sushang is unaware that "The Shenzhou Swordbreak Chronicle" has never had a sequel.
The audience doesn't know whether Li Sushang knows the truth or not. Is Su Mei the culprit who killed Qin Su Yi?
After Kiana left, Fu Hua was puzzled as to why Li Sushang did not stop her at all. Li Sushang smiled, and the accompanying music suddenly became more exciting.
Fu Hua has a mission she must complete, and Li Sushang has an agreement she must fulfill.
"Excuse me, Ancestor Chiyuan!"
As soon as Li Sushang finished speaking, she pressed forward, and the two quickly began to fight. The battle was extremely intense and seemed to have reached a strange balance, but Fu Hua knew the truth.
Her sword heart was shattered, but Li Sushang's sword heart remained intact. If this continued, she might not be Li Sushang's match.
To win, we must break the status quo and this strange balance.
She quickly made a decision, even though others saw it as a deliberate attempt to die.
She had to lure the opponent into using that move, and then neutralize it.
So, after defrauding Little Knowledge, Fu Hua planned to commit a second fraud.
Facing Li Sushang, who had just awakened in the present world, Fu Hua laid out a trap for fraud, analyzed the gains and losses, and concluded that both of them needed to resolve the matter quickly.
She stated seriously that she would use all her strength in the next attack, and if Li Sushang did not take it seriously, she might die on the spot.
"...oh."
Seeing that Li Sushang seemed somewhat disbelieving, or even perfunctory, Fu Hua emphasized it again.
Li Sushang was quite helpless. Neither she nor Otto wanted to hurt Fu Hua, but Fu Hua was clearly prepared to risk her life in order to buy time for Kiana.
"You should know what Otto wants to do. To me, it's absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Five hundred years of history is worth fighting for."
Fu Hua didn't agree with the description of fighting to the death, but she still lied to him, as if she had really made up her mind.
"But, Grand Master..."
Li Sushang didn't ask, or rather, it wasn't worth asking.
Looking at Fu Hua's resolute expression, Li Sushang couldn't help but feel sorry for her. If Fu Hua had even considered her own feelings once, she wouldn't be standing here, and she might be much happier than she is now.
"After being scammed by his own mother, it looks like Hua is going to scam his own grand-apprentice as well."
Elysia couldn't help but smile.
The phrase "scammed by her own mother" is now a joke circulating online about Fu Hua and Little Knowledge.
Elysia always bursts out laughing whenever she sees such jokes.
Fu Hua's pretty face immediately darkened.
The word "fraud" is probably going to be permanently attached to her.
Poor Scarlet Bird Immortal, with his unparalleled martial arts prowess, fought against the Honkai and eternally protected the Shenzhou, yet in the end, he was labeled a fraudster.
"Does this old relic still have some hidden trump card?"
Little Knowledge scratched his head, puzzled.
The attack that Fu Hua wanted to lure Li Sushang into using must have been the Tai Xu Sword God.
But if Li Sushang really used the Tai Xu Sword God, why would Fu Hua have absolute confidence in being able to neutralize it?
"Aren't these old-fashioned people afraid of going too far?"
No wonder Fu Hua's inner thoughts were that if anyone else were present, they would definitely think she was deliberately seeking death.
"We still have a question."
Pardo asked curiously.
"Kevin's combat power has always been terrifying, but Hua's combat power has been reduced again and again, from the time of the Scarlet Bird Immortal to the time of the Second Great Honkai, and now, the Sword Heart is broken, the Feather of the Wind is sealed, and even Little Knowledge is still angry."
Pardo's question caused everyone to ponder.
Kevin exudes immense pressure from the moment he appears; his imposing presence makes it seem as if he's already at the pinnacle of combat power.
Fu Hua, on the other hand, has been nerfed again and again.
They've even resorted to underhanded tactics to deal with their own disciples and grand-disciples.
As for whether the plot will involve a knife to Fu Hua?
They didn't have that guess.
Judging from Li Sushang's inner thoughts, she had no intention of harming Fu Hua. Moreover, if the screenwriter wanted to kill Fu Hua, they would have done so long ago, not at this time.
After all, Mei's storyline involving the World Serpent involves Previous Era, Fu Hua will definitely focus more on that at that time.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Kevin clicked his tongue in amazement.
Whether in reality or in the story, Fu Hua's personality is rigid. When Kevin sees the word "fraud" applied to Fu Hua, he sighs, finding it quite a contrast.
"Mei, do you think that besides me, Hua, and Su, any other members of the Golden Courtyard will survive to the Previous Era?"
Kevin suddenly realized this.
"I think so."
Mei was somewhat unsure.
With so many people living in the Golden Courtyard, they see each other all the time. If Yaqing were to kill them all off, it would probably be a repeat of the scene where Sakura came knocking on the door with a knife, demanding a script rewrite.
And Griseo, such a small and adorable child, how could Yaqing bear to cut her?
Mei didn't believe it, nor did she think anyone could be so inhumane.
"Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect... Please enlighten me, Grandmaster."
Li Sushang clasped her hands in a fist salute to Fu Hua, a ritual before a duel. She had said this to many people before, but this time she was facing the legend in her heart.
Fu Hua took a step back, adopting a defensive stance.
"The Taixu Sword Qi, its Divine Essence."
A familiar, dazzling light bloomed in Li Sushang's palm. She slowly floated in mid-air, raised her hand and closed her eyes. The divine bird rune suddenly appeared in the air, its light like black lightning, bringing a great sense of oppression.
"Ancestor Chiyuan, you really need to be careful with this sword strike."
"Come forth, Grip of Taixu!"
Fu Hua was not afraid at all. Even though all of this was overwhelming for him who had lost his fitness training, time seemed to stand still when he saw Li Sushang use the Tai Xu Sword God.
All the past events are now in my memory.
In order to free himself from this stagnant time, Fu Hua's memories suddenly appeared.
That was the first time she participated in Dr. MEI's Divine Sound experiment. After the Divine Sound ended, Mei explained to her that she mentioned a name that was enough to excite everyone in the Golden Courtyard.
That's Aponia.
The Garuda factor will propel Fu Hua to go further than they have, but no one knows what consequences the Divine Sound will bring.
Only she knows what the future holds.
"No... even I didn't foresee it. Possessing demonic possession... one must be punished..."
Fu Hua sighed softly.
"W-why has this started happening like a revolving lantern?"
Pardo panicked.
A revolving lantern is not a good omen.
Now she's genuinely afraid that Fu Hua will mess things up.
But before Pardo could worry for long, a name appeared that made everyone in the Home Theater excited.
"It's Sister Nia!"
Pardo was surprised but also excited.
Although Aponia is not the oldest woman in the Golden Courtyard, she is definitely the most maternal.
"Even Sister Nia made an appearance."
Sakura's tone was inexplicable.
Once things fall Honkai, tragedy is inevitable.
Currently, those who have appeared and are still alive include Kevin and Fu Hua, while those who have died include Sakura, Ling, Mei, Su who is neither alive nor dead, and Elysia whose fate is unknown.
The dead outnumber the living.
"Sister Nia's [commandments]? Looking at these memories, it's clear that Hua was driven to demonic possession and had to be killed, causing her such a terrible ordeal, and Mei is also involved."
Kevin clicked his tongue.
Unaware that Mei's face had darkened.
Kevin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot.
"Snort."
Mei let out a soft hum, like a little girl.
"Mei, what's wrong with you today? You're acting like a woman."
Yaqing's words made Mei completely lose her composure.
Mei stared wide-eyed at Yaqing in disbelief.
The same goes for Kevin.
"Hahaha, hiccup."
Mobius was amused and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What's wrong, Mobius? Did you eat a toad?"
Mei was not to be outdone.
Mobius's laughter stopped abruptly.
What does Yaqing's offense have to do with me? Why are you attacking me?!
The second part of the recollection is a conversation between Tesla and Einstein, a discussion about time and history.
Fu Hua's arrival interrupted their discussion. Tesla had called Fu Hua over because of yesterday's physical fitness test, and they needed more real-world data to support their argument.
After Fu Hua completed the practical test, Tesla immediately had a question: Fu Hua's body had recovered, but the problem was that if she didn't use Feather of the Wind, her body would be no different from before she was cured.
Upon hearing the words "Divine Sound," Fu Hua frowned and shook her head.
Even if her body recovers completely, her spirit can never return to what it was before.
Tesla stroked his smooth chin and offered a suggestion to help Fu Hua reawaken her sword spirit and return to her previous peak state.
Fu Hua refused.
Regaining Kenshin's power isn't necessarily a good thing.
Einstein suddenly asked a question: since the influence of the Divine Sound on Fu Hua had disappeared and her body had returned to normal, she brought up Ziegfried's beast form during the Second Honkai and asked if Fu Hua could still do it.
"Unless it's absolutely necessary..."
Fu Hua paused for a moment. She would only do this if it was a fight to the death, when she had no other choice, and only if all her companions were far away. Otherwise, she would become their enemy.
Einstein realized that Fu Hua had run out of trump cards.
Tesla suddenly mentioned the Tai Xu Sword God. During the Second Honkai, Fu Hua's Tai Xu Sword God left a deep impression on Anti-Entropy.
Upon hearing the Tai Xu Sword God, Fu Hua was visibly taken aback.
She recalled that during the Second Honkai, a special being had shielded Sirin from the Tai Xu Sword God. Suddenly, an impossible possibility occurred to her—a possibility that perhaps no one in this world could confirm for her.
"Restore the sword heart... isn't that the same as returning to the state where one who has fallen into demonic possession must be killed?"
Elysia was startled when she recalled Fu Hua's unapproachable, demonic state.
Since being Honkai by Honkai, and even in Fu Hua's state, she was considered possessed by evil, then wouldn't Kiana and the others, as Herrscher, be Fu Hua's first target to hunt down?
