Undead King of Fighters

Chapter 210 The Sword Spirit Delivered to the Door

You Chong brought Zhan Wushuang directly to the secret room. After entering the secret room, You Chong turned around and activated the forbidden formation.

"Wushuang, have you completely refined the magic sword?" You Chong asked as he looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Zhan Wushuang's hand.

"Well, Senior, the magic sword has indeed recognized its master!" Zhan Wushuang looked around the secret room vigilantly.

"Little guy, you are quite alert! Good!" As the voice rang out, a black shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air beside You Chong.

Zhan Wushuang's heart tightened, and he clenched the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and shouted, "Who are you?"

The shadow let out a sinister laugh: "Don't be nervous, kid, I mean no harm to you."

You Chong quickly explained at this time: "Wushuang, this is my family's ancestor, he is an unrivaled master."

Zhan Wushuang snorted coldly: "How can you be called a master if you hide your head and show your tail?"

"How dare you!" The black shadow shouted angrily, and a powerful pressure came towards Zhan Wushuang.

Zhan Wushuang gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure with all his might, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Ancestor, please calm down. Wushuang is young and hot-tempered and doesn't know much." You Chong said hurriedly.

The black shadow then put away the pressure and said, "Forget it, for the sake of Lu Feng, I won't bother with you. Boy, let me ask you, is the sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword still there?"

Zhan Wushuang was shocked. This black shadow knew his master! He even called his master a kid! Could it be that he was older than his master? After a moment of silence, he said, "The sword spirit has dissipated."

"What?" Black Shadow and You Chong exclaimed at the same time.

There was a hint of urgency in the shadow's tone: "What's going on?"

Zhan Wushuang then recounted the story of the sword spirit.

After listening to it, the black shadow sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."

Zhan Wushuang didn't know why the other party said that, but deep down he felt that there must be a story behind it.

You Chong looked at Zhan Wushuang, who had a calm expression, and said, "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide." You Chong paused, glanced at his ancestor, and continued, "I took the magic sword. I originally wanted to release the sealed beast in order to take revenge on the royal family!"

"What?" Zhan Wushuang's eyes widened, looking at You Chong in disbelief, "You actually did such a crazy thing to avenge the royal family?"

You Chong showed a bitter smile on his face: "Wushuang, you don't know the persecution of my family by the royal family. In fact, they have never stopped killing us in the past hundreds of thousands of years, and have put our family in desperate situations many times. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

The black shadow snorted coldly and said, "Humph, You Chong, do you know that this is too reckless? If all the beasts in the cave come out, the world will be in chaos and all living things will be destroyed. Our You family will also bear eternal infamy!"

"Ancestor, I..." You Chong didn't know how to explain.

"As our predecessors said, since ancient times, a new emperor has his own ministers. After Emperor Qin Feng, the new emperor succeeded to the throne. He killed the ministers who had made great contributions to the founding of the country, and this is an eternal truth that those who have made great contributions will frighten the ruler." Zhan Wushuang didn't know what to say. This was the case in every dynasty and generation as recorded in history.

"Hahahaha, a new emperor appoints new ministers! Do you mean this is the fate my You family deserves? Humph!" The black shadow snorted coldly, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhan Wushuang.

Zhan Wushuang felt the cold gaze and was startled, but he still straightened his spine and said, "Senior, that's not what I meant. I just think there may be other solutions to this problem, not so extreme."

The shadow sneered, "Other solutions? What do you know, kid? How can you understand the humiliation that my You family has suffered for many years?"

Zhan Wushuang responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Senior, it is precisely because I don't understand that I need to listen to you and Senior You's detailed explanation. But no matter what, releasing strange beasts to harm the people of the world is definitely not a just act."

"Justice? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is justice!" roared the black shadow.

…The shadow who was criticizing You Chong just now became even angrier than You Chong.

“Do you know why I ended up like this?” The black shadow said angrily, “Do you know that the underground caves have always been suppressed by my You clan! If it weren’t for my You clan, the strange beasts would have… humphed a hundred thousand years ago!”

Zhan Wushuang was shocked and said quickly: "Senior, I don't know the reason. Please explain it to me."

The shadow took a deep breath and said slowly, "One hundred thousand years ago, strange beasts were rampant and the world was in chaos. My clan You stepped forward and cooperated with Qin Feng, using all our strength to seal it in this underground cave. But after the war, my clan was seriously injured, and that bastard Qin Feng disappeared inexplicably. The royal family took the opportunity to suppress us, causing our clan to gradually decline. Later, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and exterminated our clan. If it weren't for the help of your master Lu Feng, our clan would have lived or died. Although You Chong's move was reckless, it was also a helpless move."

Zhan Wushuang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Senior, even if this is the case, it cannot be at the expense of the lives of the people of the world. Perhaps, we can find another way to revive the You family."

The black shadow snorted coldly: "How can it be easier said than done! In the current situation, what solution can you come up with? I am now in a state of neither human nor ghost! Sigh, my You clan regrets our decision!"

"Senior, what happened to you one hundred thousand years ago? Why did you end up like this?" Zhan Wushuang couldn't help but feel confused deep in his heart when he heard the black shadow say this.

The black shadow sighed and said slowly: "In the battle with the alien beasts one hundred thousand years ago, my clan was the first to bear the brunt, and I was the first to fight, but unfortunately I was injured by the alien beasts and was poisoned by their evil poison. Although Qin Feng finally sealed it, the evil poison penetrated into my bones and could not be eradicated. The clansmen tried their best, but they could only keep a trace of my soul from dispersing. From now on, I can only exist in the world in this form."

Zhan Wushuang frowned and said, "Senior, is there really no way to detoxify you and restore you to your original state?"

The black shadow smiled sadly: "If there was a way, I would not have waited until today. All these years, I can only linger in this dark secret room. It's time to be free. Perhaps this is the best destination for me."

You Chong hurriedly said at this time: "Ancestor, you..."

The shadow waved to You Chong, looked at Zhan Wushuang, and asked with a hint of expectation and suspicion: "Boy, what do you think is fair?"

Zhan Wushuang pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, fairness is not absolute equality, but under the rules, everyone has the opportunity to fight for what they deserve, without being oppressed and bullied without reason. For you and the You family, you have paid a lot for the people of the world, but you have not received the respect and return you deserve. This is by no means fair. But releasing strange beasts to seek revenge will cause innocent people to suffer, which is also not fair. I think that true fairness must be based on justice and kindness, and find a balance that can both protect your own rights and interests and not harm others."

After hearing this, the black shadow was slightly stunned: "Hahaha, well said. There is indeed no absolute fairness in the world, kid, remember what you said." After the black shadow finished speaking, it turned into a strand of black hair and flowed into the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Ancestor..." You Chong shouted miserably and fell down in the secret room.
