Chapter 219: Death Cycle (XVII)

---

    “你干什么？为什么要杀死小成！”一名佣兵对帝馗愤怒地咆哮，他口中的“小成”就是刚刚被帝馗拍掉脑袋的丧尸。

“What are you doing? Why did you kill Xiao Cheng!” A mercenary growled angrily at Di Kui, the “Xiao Cheng” he was talking about was the zombie whose head was just shot off by Di Kui.

    帝馗神色冷峻地站在尚可身前，一双金色的眼眸，透着让人胆寒的冷漠。

Di Kui stood in front of Shang Ke with a steely look, his golden eyes shining with chilling indifference.

    佣兵的身体止不住颤栗，双腿僵直，无法移动分毫。他惊恐地望着帝馗，心惊于他的强大。屋外丧尸疯狂嘶嚎，屋内气氛陷入冰点。

The mercenary’s body couldn’t stop trembling, and his legs stiffened, unable to move for a moment. He looked at Di Kui in fear, mentally shocked at how powerful he was. The zombies outside were shrieking madly, yet the atmosphere inside the house was at a freezing point.

    尚可一边快速将自己的伤口包扎好，一边对那名佣兵解释道：“这个不是小成，是丧尸伪装的。”

While quickly wrapping up his wounds, Shang Ke explained to the mercenary, “This isn’t Xiao Cheng, it’s a zombie in disguise.”

    尚可的声音将佣兵从惊惧中拉了回来，随之而来的是难以抑制的愤怒。

Shang Ke’s voice pulled the mercenary out of his fear, and then came the uncontrollable anger.

    他双目赤红地冲着尚可大吼：“脑袋都被你们拍碎了，是真是假还不是你们说的算！”小成是他的兄弟，前一刻还在为他的回归感到高兴，下一刻就看见他惨死在自己眼前，这个事实让他失去理智，也不管屋外的丧尸，举起手枪就朝帝馗射去。

His eyes were red as he shouted at Shang Ke, “You’ve smashed his head to pieces, and it’s not up to you to decide whether he’s real or not!” Xiao Cheng was his brother, one moment he was happy that he was back, the next moment he saw him dead in front of his eyes, this fact made him lose his mind, he didn’t care about the zombies outside the house, he raised his pistol and shot at Di Kui.

    “不要！”百木等人的声音同时响起，然而丧尸数量众多，根本无暇分身。

“No!” Bai Mu and the others’ voices rang out at the same time, but there were so many zombies that there was no time to stop him.

    尚可见他动手，便知道要糟。尽管帝馗这段时间表现得十分无害，但依然改变不了他是一个杀人不眨眼的危险物种的事实。

As soon as Shang Ke saw his move, he knew it was going to be bad. Even though Di Kui had acted very harmless for this period of time, it didn’t change the fact that he was a dangerous species that kills without blinking an eye.

    现实也正如尚可所料的那般，在那名佣兵抬手之际，他的身体就被帝馗洞穿了。不过瞬息间，帝馗又回到尚可身边，那名佣兵还保持着举枪的动作，甚至没感觉到疼痛，等他感觉到，意识也消失了。

The reality was just as Shang Kui had expected. When the mercenary raised his hand, his body was pierced by Di Kui. But in an instant, Di kui returned to Shang Ke’s side, and the mercenary was still in the raising of the gun position, not even feeling the pain. When he did, his consciousness also disappeared.

    “铁面！”佣兵的另一名同伴见状，脸上露出不可置信的表情，“你疯了吗？为什么要杀死我的同伴！”

“Iron Mask!” Another of the mercenary’s companions had an incredulous look on his face when he saw this, “Are you crazy? Why did you kill my companion!”

    如果说杀死“小成”是因为他是丧尸，那么“铁面”呢？

If you say you killed “Xiao Cheng” because he was a zombie, what about “Iron Mask”?

    周围众人纷纷对帝馗投去敌视和防备的目光。

Everyone around started casting hostile and guarded gaze towards Di Kui.

    “不要吵了，丧尸快要冲进来了！”百木大声喝止，提醒众人现在不是内杠的时候。

“Stop it, the zombies are about to rush in!” Bai Mu shouted at the crowd, reminding them that now was not the time for an internal conflict.

    尚可的鲜血让丧尸们变得更加疯狂，不要命地对佣兵们发动攻击，已经有好几名佣兵牺牲了。

Shang Ke’s blood made the zombies go even crazier, attacking the mercenaries with no regard for their lives. Several mercenaries had already been killed.

    虽然左弦、百木等人实力强大，但限于空间，他们根本无法全力施为。丧尸们将小楼围得水泄不通，还有更多丧尸源源不断地向这边聚集。左弦几次冲出去想要引走一部分丧尸都没有成功。

Although Zuo Xian and Bai Mu were strong, they could not perform their best because they were limited by space. The zombies had surrounded the small building, and more zombies were gathering this way incessantly. Zuo Xian rushed out several times to try to lure away some of the zombies, but to no avail.

    丧尸的嘶吼声此起彼伏，血腥味、汗臭味、腐尸味混杂在一起，刺激着所有人的神经。

The roars of the zombies rose and fell, and the smell of blood, sweat and rotting corpses mixed together, stimulating everyone’s nerves.

    帝馗似乎也受到了影响，喉咙里发出低低的吼声，尖锐的指甲快速伸长，闪烁着凛凛寒光。

Di Kui also seemed to be affected, with a low roar in his throat, his sharp nails quickly extended, flashing with a cold light.

    “他……他快变成丧尸了！”一名佣兵指着帝馗惊恐地大喊。

“He… is turning into a zombie!” A mercenary pointed at Di Kui Kui and shouted in fear.

    众人心头一惊，回头望去，果然看到帝馗露出了丧尸的特征。

Everyone was shocked and looked back, and indeed saw that Di Kui Kui had revealed the features of a zombie.

    百木等几名等级比较高的异能者马上意识到：他不是“快变成丧尸了”，他就是丧尸！

Bai Mu and a few other higher level ability users immediately realized: he wasn’t “turning into a zombie”, he was a zombie!

    “大家快逃！”百木当即做出决断，如今内忧外患，已经顾不上什么任务了，保命要紧。

“Everybody run!” Bai Mu immediately made a decision, now with internal and external problems, he couldn’t care less about the mission, it was more important to stay alive.

    眼见众人准备冒险冲出重围，尚可明白事情已经无可挽回，帝馗的身份暴露，他也无法继续留在佣兵团了。那么在离开前，就让他为他们做点什么吧。

Seeing that everyone is ready to risk breaking out of the siege, Shang Ke understands that the matter is already irreversible, Di Kui’s identity is exposed, and he can’t stay in the mercenary group anymore. So before leaving, let him do something for them.

    尚可拉住情绪暴躁的帝馗：“带我出去吧。”

Shang Ke pulled the irritable Di Kui, “Take me outside.” Di Kui hugged him and disappeared.

    帝馗一把抱住他，消失在小楼中。

Di Kui hugged him and disappeared from the small building.

    众人松了一口气的同时，又感到十分诧异。尚可明显是正常人类，为什么能够驱使一只如此厉害的丧尸？

Everyone was relieved and surprised at the same time. Shang Ke was obviously a normal human, why was he able to order about such a powerful zombie?

    接着，更让他们诧异的事情发生了，原本围堵在小楼的丧尸开始退散，转而朝另一个方向涌去。不过片刻功夫，附近就只剩下零星几十只丧尸了。

Then, to their amazement, the zombies originally blocking the small building began to disperse, swarming in the other direction instead. In just a few moments, only a few dozens of zombies were left in the neighborhood.

    “他们把丧尸引走了？”连左弦都没能成功引走的丧尸居然被他们引走了？

“Did they draw the zombies away?” The zombies that even Zuo Xian failed to lure away were actually lured away by them?

    “不可能吧？他们为什么这么做？”不是丧尸吗？为什么要帮他们？

“Impossible, right? Why did they do that?” Wasn’t he a zombie? Why did he help them?

    “MD，吓死老子了，敢情这些天老子一直跟一只丧尸混在一起？”

“Fuck, I’m scared to death. Don’t tell me I have been hanging out with a zombie all these days?”

    “我完全没怀疑过他的身份。”

“I didn’t suspect him at all.”

    “我也是。”

“Me neither.”

    “他们是霍老大介绍进来的，谁会怀疑……”

“They were introduced to us by Boss Huo, who would have suspected…”

    此言一出，众人全都不约而同朝左弦望去，想从他那里寻求答案。

As soon as this was said, all of them looked at Zuo Xian in unison, trying to get answers from him.

    左弦却没有理会他们，只是怔怔地望着天空。众人循着他的视线看过去，只见半空中不知何时出现了一团奇怪的黑色漩涡。

But Zuo Xian ignored them and just stared at the sky in a daze. The crowd followed his line of sight and saw a strange black vortex appear in mid-air at some point.

    “空间丧尸出现了，你们小心！”左弦提醒一句后，闪身朝那边冲去。

“The spacial zombie has appeared, be careful!” After a reminder from Zuo Xian, he dashed off towards that side.

    另一边，尚可和帝馗离开小楼后，丧尸们立刻循着鲜血的气息追了上来。

On the other side, after Shang Ke and Di Kui left the small building, the zombies immediately followed the scent of blood to catch up.

    行到半路，帝馗突然停下脚步，瞳孔微微收缩，随即猛地朝前方挥了一拳，只听一声闷响，一个黑影突兀地从空中倒飞出来，然后又突兀地消失。整个过程连一秒都不到，尚可甚至没看清那个黑影的模样。

In the middle of the road, Di Kui suddenly stopped, his pupils slightly contracted, then fiercely swung a fist in front, only to hear a muffled sound. A shadow suddenly flew out of the air, and then suddenly disappeared. The entire process took less than a second, and Shang Ke did not even see the shadow’s face clearly.

    紧接着，霍轩的身影出现在尚可的视线中。

Immediately after, Huo Xuan’s figure appeared in Shang Ke’s line of sight.

    “尚可。”霍轩还没来得及靠近，上空就出现了一个黑色漩涡，周围的光线迅速变暗，好像有一只巨兽正在吞食周围的一切。

“Shang Ke.” Before Huo Xuan could approach, a black vortex appeared in the sky, and the light around it quickly dimmed, as if a giant beast was devouring everything around it.

    不过一会，帝馗、尚可、霍轩，连同赶过来的左弦和小楼里的佣兵，全都被深深的黑暗所吞没。随之而来的，还有一股淡淡的异香。

After a short while, Di Kui, Shang Ke, and Huo Xuan, along with Zuo Xian and the mercenaries in the small building, were all engulfed by the deep darkness. Along with it, there was a faint fragrance.

    尚可暗暗心惊，那只丧尸又发动空间异能了。虽然这种异能对他没有影响，但霍轩和帝馗很可能会陷入幻觉，他们的精神力一旦发生动荡，就会反过来影响他。

Shang Ke was secretly frightened. The zombie had unleashed its spatial abilities again. Although this ability did not affect him, Huo Xuan and Di Kui would probably fall into an illusion, and once their spirit power was in turmoil, it would in turn affect him.

    正想着，大脑忽然感觉一阵昏沉，无数纷乱的画面循环交错。与此同时，身体开始发热，腹中窜起一团团火焰。尚可猜测，那只将级丧尸所拥有的空间本身就是一种特殊的繁衍工具，带有催情的作用，能够促使生物进行交配。

Just as he was thinking, his brain suddenly felt dizzy, and countless chaotic images circulated and interlaced. At the same time, his body began to heat up, and a flame sprang up in his abdomen. It can be surmised that the space owned by the general zombie is itself a special reproduction tool, with an aphrodisiac effect that can encourage creatures to mate.

    但是以霍轩和帝馗的实力，最多也就是产生幻象，并且很快就能脱离，即便他们自己以为度过了很长时间。

But with Huo Xuan and Di Kui’s strength, the most it could do was to create illusions. They would be able to escape from the illusion very quickly, even if they think they have spent a long time.

    不过尚可低估了自己对帝馗的诱惑力，幻象影响不了他，但欲望却如火山洪流，爆发得汹涌澎湃。更可怕的是，他脑中的画面通过精神力全部被尚可接收，那一幕幕限制级动作片真是……不堪入目！

However, Shang Kui underestimated his seductive power to Di Kui. The illusion could not affect him, but his desire was like a volcanic torrent, erupting in a raging torrent. What’s worse, the images in his head were all picked up by Shang Ke through his spirit power. The scenes of the R18 action movie was really … unbearable to watch!

    尚可在现实和幻象中沉沉浮浮，身体被侵占的感觉如此真实，即使他的意识不太清晰，也没法忽略那一波波带着疼痛的快感。

Shang Ke was floating in and out of reality and illusion, and the sensation of his body being invaded was so real that he couldn’t ignore the waves of painful pleasure, even if his consciousness wasn’t quite clear.

    “尚可！”

“Shang Ke!”

    一声暴喝从黑暗中传来，随即就见一道银光朝帝馗的头部疾射而去，最后却只射到一团空气。

A loud shout came from the darkness, and then a silver light shot towards Di Kui’s head, but in the end it only shot into a cloud of air.

    “帝馗，我要杀了你！”

“Di Kui, I’ll kill you!”

    霍轩从幻境中脱离后，立刻过来寻找尚可，结果却看到让他无比愤怒的一幕。尚可被帝馗压在地上，双腿被他托起，下身紧密粘合，一次次承受着粗暴的侵犯。

After Huo Xuan got out of the illusion, he immediately came to look for Shang Ke, but he saw a scene that made him extremely angry. Shang Ke was pressed down on the ground by Di Kui, his legs were held up by him, and his lower body was tightly bonded, enduring violent violations over and over again.

    看到自己喜欢的人被一只丧尸凌辱，霍轩再也无法保持冷静，身上剑光闪烁，在黑暗中划出一道道银白的流光。

Seeing the person he likes being violated by a zombie, Huo Xuan could no longer keep his cool. The sword lights flowed around his body, cutting out a silvery white stream of light in the darkness.

    帝馗也很暴躁，他和可可交配得好好的，偏偏有个碍眼的家伙跑出来捣乱，这家伙的武力值还很高，没法一巴掌拍死。

Di Kui was also very irritable, he and Keke were doing well, but there was an obtrusive guy who came out to make trouble. This guy’s strength was still very high, and he couldn’t be killed with just a slap.

    周围剑光交织，帝馗不得不退出尚可身体，然后杀气腾腾地朝霍轩冲去。两人在黑暗空间中混战，急剧动荡的精神力，将尚可从旖旎的幻象中抽离出来，转而进入刀光剑影的战场。

The streaks of sword light weaved together around them. Di Kui had to withdraw from Keke’s body, and then rushed toward Huo Xuan in a murderous rage. The two of them were fighting in the dark space, and the rapid turmoil of spirit powertook Shang Ke out of the charming illusion and into the battlefield of lights and shadows.

    他“看”到帝馗和霍轩打得不可开交，出手毫不留情，想要置对方于死地。

He “saw” that Di Kui and Huo Xuan were fighting to a standstill, and wanted to kill each other without mercy.

    尚可大声阻止，他们却像没听到一般，继续拼斗。

Shang Ke shouted to stop them, but they continued to fight as if they hadn’t heard him.

    混蛋帝馗，那是你的残魂，打死了，你恐怕就要变成残障了。

Bastard Di Kui, that’s a piece of your soul. If you kill it, you’ll likely turn into a disabled man.

    还有霍轩，身为一抹残魂，自成人格也就算了，现在还想弑主吗？

And also Huo Xuan, as a piece of the main soul, was it not enough that you developed your own personality, now you even want to kill the main piece?

    尚可看他们越打越激烈，脑中只有一个念头，那就是不能让他们继续自残，要杀就杀他吧，反正他可以复活，可以轮回。只要灵魂不灭，他们就能一次次相遇相守。

Shang Ke saw them fighting more and more fiercely, and only one thought came to his mind, that is, we cannot let them continue to kill themselves. As long as their souls remained intact, they would be able to meet again and again and stay together.

    尚可一步步向他们靠近，锐利的气刃在他身上划出一道道血痕。

Shang Ke approached them step by step, the sharp blades of Qi formed cuts all over his body.

    帝馗首先注意到尚可的惨状，当即收手，转身回到他身边，任由霍轩的飞刃刺穿他的身体。

Di Kui noticed Shang Ke’s miserable state first and immediately stopped, turning back to him and allowing Huo Xuan’s flying blade to pierce through his body.

    “放开尚可！”霍轩追杀过来，想要将尚可从他手上抢过来。

“Let go of Shang Ke!” Huo Xuan chased after him, trying to snatch Shang Ke out of his hands.

    帝馗抬手挡住霍轩的攻势，一双金色眼眸中闪烁出凶厉的血光。

Di Kui raised his hand to block Huo Xuan’s attack, a pair of golden eyes flickering with a fierce bloody light.

    霍轩猛地感觉胸口一窒，像是被人撕裂一般，疼痛难忍。

Huo Xuan suddenly felt himself suffocate, as if he was being torn apart. The pain was unbearable.

    “你，必须死！”霍轩语气僵硬地吐出这几个字，眼中杀机密布，无数剑光从身体中飞出，汇聚成两股洪流，迅猛地向帝馗的后背扎去。

“You, must die!” Huo Xuan spat out these words in a stiff tone, killing intent filled his eyes, and countless sword lights flew out from his body, gathering into two torrents, swiftly and fiercely stabbing at Di Kui’s back.

    帝馗抱着尚可，置身于霍轩的领域中，一时间无法避开。但他并不畏惧，这种攻击对他而言没有生命威胁。

Di Kui held Shang Ke which led him to being in Huo Xuan’s domain and unable to avoid the attack for the moment. But he was not afraid, this attack was not life threatening to him.

    然而就在这时，被他护在怀中的尚可突然窜起，紧紧抱住他，将大部分身体暴露在剑光之下。

At this moment, however, Shang Ke, who was in his arms, suddenly sprang up and hugged him tightly, exposing most of his body to the sword light.

    帝馗和霍轩同时瞪大眼睛，呆呆地看着无数剑刃扎进他的身体，血肉骨骼瞬间被扎成碎末，鲜血喷涌而出，染红了帝馗大半张脸。

Di Kui and Huo Xuan stared with wide eyes at the same time, dumbfounded as countless blades pierced into his body. Blood, flesh and bones showered, staining half of Di Kui’s face red.

    霍轩整个人都凝滞了，他发动攻击时，故意避开了尚可，加上帝馗的保护，剑刃原本不可能伤到他。但他用自己的身体挡在帝馗身前，替他挡住了大部分攻击。为什么？尚可为什么要拼命保护一只丧尸？

Huo Xuan’s entire body froze. When he attacked, he deliberately avoided Shang Ke, and with Di Kui’s protection, it was impossible for the blades to hurt him. But he used his own body to block in front of Di Kui, blocking most of the attacks for him. Why? Why was Shang Ke trying to protect a zombie?

    帝馗撕开自己的外衣，小心翼翼将破碎的尚可包裹其中，轻轻放在地上。随即他注意到尚可的右胸上，有一朵火焰之花正在鲜血中缓缓盛开，下一瞬间，骤然破碎，化作一片片花瓣，散落在空中。

Di Kui tore open his own coat, carefully wrapped the broken Shang Ke inside, and gently placed it on the ground. He then noticed that on Shang Ke’s right chest, there was a flaming flower slowly blooming in blood, and in the next instant, it suddenly shattered, turning into petals and scattering in the air.

    尚可的瞳孔，随着花瓣的散落，逐渐涣散，直到彻底失去光彩。

Shang Ke’s pupils, with the scattering of the petals, were gradually dispersed until they completely lost their brilliance.

    帝馗和霍轩同时感到一阵心悸，灵魂好像空一块，巨大的恐惧席卷而来……

Di Kui and Huo Xuan felt a sense of dread at the same time, as if their souls were empty, a great fear swept over them…

    当黑暗空间消失，四周恢复光明，目力所及，到处都是丧尸残破的肢体，不远处的小楼已经成为废墟，所有佣兵都晕倒在地，身受重伤。他们没有被黑暗空间所迷惑，却差点丧身在帝馗和霍轩的力量冲击下。

When the dark space disappeared and light returned to the surroundings, as far as the eye could see, there were broken limbs of zombies everywhere. A small building not far away had become a ruin, and all the mercenaries fainted on the ground and were seriously injured. They were not bewitched by the dark space, but almost lost their lives under the impact of Di Kui and Huo Xuan’s power.

    左弦从残肢断臂中狼狈地爬起来，缓缓抬起头，朦胧的视线中，出现了一个熟悉身影。

Zuo Xian crawled up from all the broken arms and limbs, slowly raised his head, and a familiar figure appeared in his hazy vision.

    他几近全裸地站在夕阳的余晖中，身上鲜血淋漓，手上似乎还抱着一个人。

He was standing nearly naked in the setting sun, his body drenched in blood, and he seemed to be holding a person in his hands.

    在他脚边，有一具残破的尸体，定睛望去，赫然正是丧尸王帝馗。

At his feet, there was a broken corpse, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was actually the zombie king, Di Kui.

    霍轩把丧尸王杀了？左弦眼中闪过惊喜，正要走过去，前面的人影却消失了。

Huo Xuan had killed the zombie king? Happy surprise flashed in Zuo Xian’s eyes, and he was about to walk over, but the figure in front of him disappeared.

    “霍轩，你去哪里？”左弦对着空气大喊，四周悄无声息，除了萧瑟的风声，没有任何回应……

“Huo Xuan, where are you going?” Zuo Xian shouted into the air. The surrounding was quiet, except for the sound of the wind, there was no response…
