Chapter 1973 The "Child of Destiny" Blessed by Fate, the Inevitability Pointed to by "Fate"
Before everyone could process the cold meaning behind those words, Hei Xiaohu's gaze returned to Hongmao, his scrutiny and doubt becoming even more pronounced:
“I once used a secret method to glimpse the destiny of this world, and thus I recognized you, the ‘chosen ones’ favored by the fortune of this world.”
“But according to the ‘trajectory’ I have seen, your reunion, your hardships, and even your final battle should have been much longer and more tortuous.”
Upon hearing this, Rainbow Cat felt a chill run down his spine, realizing it was because he had joined the chat group. However, he remained calm and showed no sign of it.
"Everything is progressing at an abnormally fast pace."
"However, this is not a bad thing for me; on the contrary, it saves me a lot of time."
He paused, seemingly considering his words, before finally speaking in a slightly sentimental yet condescending tone:
“My ‘father’ was obsessed with dominating the martial arts world and thought himself invincible, but he didn’t realize how narrow-minded he was.”
"What he pursued was nothing more than worldly power and savage strength. In the end, he could not escape the shackles of fate and became a stepping stone on your Seven Swords' road to fame."
"This is his predetermined fate, and part of the 'trajectory' I have glimpsed."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Da Ben was completely bewildered; the concepts of cause and effect, destiny, and shackles of fate were like gibberish to him.
He glared at Black Tiger with his tiger-like eyes and roared in a deep voice:
Stop playing tricks on me!
"Your father, Black-Hearted Tiger, committed numerous evils and deserved to die; if you're a man, then come at me if you want revenge!"
"If you don't want to fight, then get lost. Find a secluded place and keep a low profile. Maybe that will allow you to live a few more years!"
Da Ben was simple-minded. In his opinion, since Hei Xiao Hu was Hei Xin Hu's son, he should either rush up and fight to the death to take revenge, or he should face reality and run away.
His strange behavior was what annoyed him the most.
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiaohu not only didn't get angry, but instead seemed to have heard something interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he let out a sneer.
He looked at the Mercedes-Benz with the gaze of a high-ranking deity looking down upon the bewildered creatures.
“I am the son of Blackheart Tiger, this is an indisputable fact, and it is the ‘fruit’ I have borne.”
"Although that father-son bond belongs to the 'original owner's' lingering remnant and I did not inherit it, the karmic entanglements brought about by this identity are unavoidable for me now that I possess this body, and I must bear them."
"How could you say something like 'let me leave'?"
He shook his head slightly, as if sighing at some kind of naiveté.
"Should I say that they truly live up to their self-proclaimed 'righteous' stance? They always harbor these pointless acts of kindness and illusions." "The trajectory of the world, the evolution of the Great Dao, may seem complex and intricate, but in essence, it is nothing more than the interplay of Yin and Yang, and the coexistence of good and evil."
"Black and white, good and evil, are the most distinct and fundamental forces driving the operation of this world."
"While dark areas certainly exist, they are ultimately just background elements."
There was no discernible tone in Hei Xiaohu's voice—neither praise nor sarcasm, only pure indifference.
With his hands behind his back, he stood amidst the ruins, surrounded by seven swords, yet seemed to exist independently of this space, exuding an aura of looking down upon all living beings.
"As the son of Blackheart Tiger, I am a continuation of the 'darkness' of this world, and the identity and role bestowed upon me by the 'trajectory' of this world."
"Although he died at your hands, this 'cause and effect' stemming from bloodline, identity, and the established rules of the world has not ended."
"The son pays for the father's debts, and black and white are relative. This is the natural order of things and one of the inherent logics of the continuation of the 'story' in this world."
“Killing you will settle this karma, repay this ‘debt,’ and at the same time, it will be an ‘anchor’ to my own existence. This is my path, and it is also the inevitable direction pointed to by the ‘fate’ that I have inherited.”
Hei Xiaohu's voice was calm, as if he were stating some inevitable ending.
Rather than wanting to avenge his father and settle a karmic debt, it's more like he was fulfilling some kind of unavoidable "obligation."
"Absurd!"
"Good and evil cannot coexist because you have committed numerous evils and harmed countless lives! How can this be determined by some vague and ethereal cause-and-effect trajectory?"
"If you want war, then let's fight! Why bother with these high-sounding excuses!"
Dada rebuked coldly, the whirlwind sword in his hand shimmering with azure light.
Sally pointed her sword at Black Tiger, the Purple Cloud Sword crackling with purple lightning, exuding a chilling killing intent.
"Remnants of the Demonic Cult, all smooth talkers! Your father's execution is a testament to the will of Heaven! If you repent and turn back from your misguided ways, there may be a glimmer of hope for you. If you remain obstinate, today we will reunite you and your father!"
Rainbow Cat frowned as he looked at Black Tiger.
The original body, cause and effect, role, and the indifference that is completely different from "Black Tiger".
This person is definitely not the original Hei Xiaohu; he may have been influenced or even replaced by some external force.
A time traveler?
Rainbow Cat recalled the information about the "time traveler" that had been instilled in him in the chat group.
However, all of this is still just speculation and needs further verification.
Suppressing his turbulent thoughts, Rainbow Cat took a deep breath, and an unwavering determination returned to his eyes.
No matter who the opponent is, where they come from, or what their purpose is, as long as they bring calamity to the world, they are enemies of the Seven Swords.
"Regardless of what kind of 'cause and effect' you follow, we are only here to protect the peace of the world and to eradicate the evil that plagues the people!"
"If you insist on doing evil, the swords in the hands of the Seven Swords will be your 'death'!"
As for Rainbow Cat's words, Black Tiger simply shook his head slightly, his face showing undisguised contempt, and said in a tone almost like commenting on a junior:
"If you achieve perfect martial arts skills and advance further in the future, and wield the 'Sword of Light,' you might still be qualified to fight me now."
"As for now, you still have a long way to go."
The moment he finished speaking, Rainbow Cat moved.
There's no point in wasting words with such an opponent; only skillful combat will tell.
"A rainbow pierces the sun!"
Rainbow Cat moved with the sword, the man and the sword seemingly merging into one, transforming into a streak of crimson light that tore through the sky.
A hint of surprise flashed across Hei Xiaohu's eyes.
The power of this sword strike, especially the "momentum" it contained, was quite different from his estimation of Rainbow Cat's strength.
Although he is still far from the state he will be in when he wields the Sword of Light in the future, it is not what he should be in now.
Strange, how come the fate of this world is so different from reality?
Hei Xiaohu was somewhat puzzled, but the contempt on his face did not lessen; instead, it turned into a deeper chill.
"The light of a firefly dares to rival the brilliance of the moon?"
He chuckled, and facing a sword strike that would make even the top martial arts masters avoid its edge, he neither dodged nor evaded, but merely raised his right hand.
He gently pressed his palm against the swiftly approaching crimson figure.
"town."
In an instant, a visible black ripple spread out from the center of his palm.
Wherever the ripples passed, the air seemed to turn into a viscous gel. Rainbow Cat's fierce sword aura, upon touching the black ripples, was as if it had sunk into an invisible swamp.
The intense, surging true energy of the rainbow came into contact with the black ripples, producing a hissing sound, as if light and darkness were annihilating each other.
The true energy of the rainbow was being rapidly consumed and eroded, and the resistance from the tip of the sword was increasing, slowing down its forward speed.
At the same time, a chilling power was flowing back along the sword, attempting to erode his meridians.
Rainbow Cat activated the Rainbow Heart Technique within his body, unleashing even purer and hotter true energy. He forcefully broke through the stagnation in his arm, and the crimson light at the tip of the Rainbow Sword intensified by three points, piercing another half foot into the viscous black ripples!
The tip of the sword was less than three inches from Black Tiger's palm!
Hei Xiaohu's surprise deepened. Although he hadn't used much force, his move contained a trace of the corrosive and suppressive properties of the Heavenly Demon Power.
This Rainbow Cat was able to resist the erosion and even advance by relying on its incomparably pure Rainbow True Qi and its tenacious will.
"That's interesting, but that's all."
Hei Xiaohu said indifferently, his outstretched hand trembling slightly.
"Buzz!"
The black ripples suddenly contracted, condensing in his palm and transforming into a black hole vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything.
A terrifying suction force and destructive wave, ten times stronger than before, suddenly erupted!
"puff!"
Rainbow Cat felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The sword aura he had gathered instantly collapsed, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
"Rainbow Cat!"
Seeing this, Blue Rabbit transformed into a gust of wind and instantly blocked Rainbow Cat's path as he flew backward. She gently patted his back with her jade hand and channeled her pure Ice Soul True Qi into him.
They were initially looking for an opportunity to coordinate their attack after seeing Rainbow Cat take the initiative and manage to hold off Black Tiger for a short time, but the situation took an unexpected turn for the worse.
"You sorcerer, take this sword!"
Da Ben roared like thunder, disregarding everything, and with his Thunder Sword carrying dazzling golden lightning, he attacked Hei Xiaohu fiercely from the side like a mad bull!
A thunderous roar erupted, its power terrifying.
Sally's Purple Cloud Sword transformed into an almost invisible purple line, stabbing towards Black Tiger.
DouDou moved nimbly, and the Rain Flower Sword transformed into a rain of swords.
The Dada Whirlwind Sword Qi transformed into countless small tornadoes, wrapping around Black Tiger from all directions.
Lightning also surged from the Jumping Azure Light Sword, its sharp sword energy piercing the air.
The five swordsmen unleashed their fury, each displaying their unique skills, their attacks like a raging storm, instantly engulfing Black Tiger.
But Hei Xiaohu just clicked his tongue lightly, seemingly a little impatient.
"The ants are making a racket."
He didn't even move his feet; the faint black aura around him simply swelled slightly.
The next moment, Da Ben's incomparably powerful Thunder Sword Qi dissipated, and he felt an irresistible force rebounding back, sending him flying backward at an even faster speed than when he arrived.
Sally also felt a powerful counterforce coming from the sword, and the Purple Cloud Sword almost slipped from her hand, causing her to stagger backward.
DouDou and DaDa both felt their inner energy stagnate, and felt nauseous and uncomfortable in their chests.
The tip of the leaping sword touched the black tiger's chest and robe, producing a metallic clang, but not even a trace of white was left.
Hei Xiaohu didn't even glance at him, simply flicking his finger casually.
"clang!"
With a sharp crack, Tiao Tiao was struck as if by lightning. His Qingguang sword trembled violently, and he could barely hold on. He slid backward, and his right hand, which was holding the sword, was cracked and bleeding profusely.
In just one exchange, without even seeing Hei Xiaohu make a move, the combined attack of the five swordsmen crumbled, leaving everyone injured.
This is not a competition on the same level at all.
"The strength of your companions is about the same as what I know."
"No, to be precise, they are slightly weaker than those in the 'future' trajectory."
"After all, the timeline has been moved up significantly, and the necessary trials and opportunities have not yet materialized."
Hei Xiaohu's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking and deducing.
"However, this is the level of power you 'should' possess at this point in time."
“But you are different, Rainbow Cat.”
"Your abilities far exceed what you should be at 'current' level."
"The five of them are weak, conforming to the 'trajectory'; while you are strong, exceeding the 'trajectory'."
"Is the only variable really you?"
He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps questioning Rainbow Cat, or rather, some unseen being:
"It's not that I can't understand it at all."
"After all, in the original destiny, although you were both favored by fate, only you, Rainbow Cat, are the true 'chosen one' of this world, and the undisputed 'protagonist' of the story."
"So, is it because of my appearance, the arrival of this 'anomaly,' that the predetermined river of fate has been disrupted, thus triggering the world's instinctive 'correction' or 'favor'?"
"It sensed a threat, so it focused more 'attention' and 'assistance' on you, the 'chosen one,' allowing you to grow up ahead of time and acquire the resources to counter the 'variables'?"
Hei Xiaohu pondered, and this conjecture seemed quite reasonable.
In his understanding, the world inherently possesses a certain kind of general consciousness or corrective force, and when "anomalies" appear, they often strengthen the "protagonist" to maintain balance.
His existence, originating from another world, is naturally the "anomaly," and the abnormal growth rate of Rainbow Cat is most likely related to the world.
A knowing glint flashed in his eyes, and his gaze held a hint of indifferent "I knew it" in his expression.
"If that's true, it will save me a lot of trouble."
"Once you are erased, the biggest 'variable' and the vessel of 'world's favor,' the remaining corrective power of this world will no longer be able to prevent me from completely merging with the inheritance and settling the cause and effect."
"At that time, I will rewrite both my own path and the course of this world's 'story'."
A smile returned to Hei Xiaohu's face.
After saying that, he swayed and seemed to merge into the shadows of the light, reappearing in front of Rainbow Cat.
With its five fingers forming claws, the fingertips wrapped in increasingly thick, dark demonic energy, it grabbed Rainbow Cat's right arm and shoulder where he held the sword.
"careful!"
Blue Rabbit Ice Soul Sword emitted a brilliant light, but it was easily blocked by Black Tiger, who then struck her with a palm.
"Ding!"
With another soft sound, Rainbow Cat's Rainbow Sword blocked Blue Rabbit's path.
"Blue Rabbit, go check on Sally and the others. I'll take care of things here."
Rainbow Cat said to Blue Rabbit without turning his head.
Black Tiger is even stronger than him; Blue Rabbit and the others are no match for him.
Only he can fight this battle.
