…
The energy waves in the sky shot out in all directions, and the Whispers who was close to Shen Ye was turned into a ball of gray mist. Because he fired too many bullets, the energy waves that missed the target hit the surrounding buildings, causing loud explosions.
Fortunately, they were next to the abandoned church and the surrounding buildings had also been abandoned and no one lived there. Otherwise, who knows how many casualties would have been caused by this random shooting.
The gun dance lasted for nearly half a minute. When Shen Ye stopped shooting, the area within dozens of meters was completely shrouded in gray fog, as if in a fog cage.
"Great, Shen!" Seeing Shen Ye handsomely defeating those Whispers, Aerith cheered and then rushed in to hug Shen Ye.
At this moment, Shen Ye's eyes focused. He saw a person standing on the top of a building in the distance. Although he was far away, he could feel the other person's burning gaze.
"Could it be him... Impossible, if he wants to find someone, he should go to Cloud first." Seeing that person, Shen Ye vaguely guessed that person's identity. After all, Whispers is only controlled by one person.
But he was not sure. After thinking for a moment, he turned around, pulled Aerith, and rushed into the church.
…
In fact, there were people living near the church. For example, in a room that was reduced to ruins by the energy wave, there was a young man with orange hair lying there.
This person is Reno, a member of Turks!
"This guy is so strong!" Reno was sweating coldly because he was scared.
As one of the members protecting Aerith, it was his turn to be on duty today. He thought it would be another peaceful night like before, so he went to the old place to rest as usual. However, he suddenly heard fierce gunshots while he was half asleep.
So he got up and wanted to see what was happening outside, then he saw an energy ball as thick as a bucket shooting towards the room where he was resting.
If he had not been so agile that he could have fallen flat on the spot at an extremely fast speed, he would have been blown to pieces by the violent wave of mental energy just like the room he lived in.
But even so, he was still hit by the falling bricks and stones and was almost buried by them.
"What's this guy doing so crazy in the middle of the night? Is he showing off his strength in front of Aerith?" Reno muttered, brushing off the dust on his body and getting up from the ground. He didn't see the Whispers at all, so he could only guess with his own thinking.
Just at this moment, Shen Ye had already pulled Aerith away from the place and ran towards the depths of the church.
Reno was a little confused, but seeing that they had run very far away, he followed them and took out his communicator to report to his superiors.
…
Inside the church, Shen Ye protected Aerith behind him and looked vigilantly at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The man was wrapped in a simple robe, and because of the wide hood, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Shen Ye always had a very familiar feeling, as if he had seen him some time ago.
"Don't think about it. We did meet, just a month ago." The man seemed to be able to see through Shen Ye's inner thoughts. Seeing Shen Ye's thoughtful expression, he took the initiative to speak out.
"A month ago?" Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally remembered.
He had just come into this world a month ago. Not long after he saved Marlene, he did see someone wearing a simple robe passing by on the street. At that time, he thought they were believers from a certain church.
"No wonder it looks familiar to me." Shen Ye thought.
"You must be wondering now, no wonder it looks so familiar?" asked the man in the robe.
Shen Ye nodded: "That's right."
"Hahaha, actually I also feel familiar with him, because I didn't expect that I had actually seen the person who ruined my fate a month ago." The robed man laughed: "I was so stupid that I looked for him for so long and looked at so many people."
At this time, Aerith asked behind him: "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" The man in the robe seemed stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "You already have the answer in your heart, why are you asking me? Or do you think you can escape your fate by pretending not to know?"
As soon as these words came out, Aerith's face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with panic and worry.
"Why, why don't you give up? Things can obviously be changed!" Then Aerith clenched her fists and shouted with all her strength.
"Change? That's not that easy, because this is our destiny!" the man in the robe murmured, then he raised his hand to the sky, and suddenly, a large number of Whispers appeared in the church.
At this time, there were so many Whispers that they were countless. When Aerith saw them, she was so scared that she hugged Shen Ye's arm tightly.
Although Shen Ye was a little surprised, he calmed himself down and patted Aerith's hand to comfort her.
Just as he turned his gaze back to the man in the robe, he didn't know when the person in front of him had turned into a man nearly two meters tall with waist-length white hair.
And he is a man among men, a male among males...
"Sephiroth!" Shen Ye pronounced his name word by word.
"I'm glad that you know me too. Although I'm not surprised by this, what makes me curious is where you are from." Sephiroth looked at this person who should not have appeared in destiny with interest.
"Don't worry about this." Shen Ye shook his head. He couldn't and didn't want to explain.
"In that case, I can only..." Sephiroth said, shaking his head. Then he raised his left hand and grasped the air. Then, a giant sword that was longer than his height appeared in his hand.
Then he added: "Then I can only eliminate you, the 'outsider'."
"That's not that easy, Sephiroth." Shen Ye clenched his guns and pointed them at Sephiroth.
"No, Shen, you are no match for him." Aerith suddenly grabbed Shen Ye's arm and said with tears streaming down her face.
"Go quickly. As long as you leave me and stop being around me, he won't hurt you." Aerith continued, and then shouted at Sephiroth: "Right?"
Sephiroth did not speak, but Shen Ye spoke up: "It's impossible. I can feel his chilling murderous intent."
"He's right." Sephiroth nodded, and slashed the ground with the long sword in his hand. The sharp sword energy drew a deep groove on the ground.
"Step back, Aerith." Shen Ye pulled his arm away from Aerith's hand.
"No." Aerith shook her head firmly, then took out two short sticks from behind her, put them together and pulled them to both sides, and a magic long stick appeared in her hand.
"I want to fight alongside you." Aerith stepped forward and stood beside Shen Ye. She pointed the magic stick in her hand at the ground, and then a gorgeous magic circle appeared under their feet.
For a moment, Shen Ye felt that his strength had become stronger and his five senses had become more sensitive. He turned his head to look at Aerith, nodded, and then shouted: "Okay, I'm on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ye flashed and rushed towards Sephiroth, firing both guns at the same time, firing dense bullets and mental energy waves!
"What an unheard-of ability!" Sephiroth swung his sword, and a huge sword energy shot out. After colliding with the mental energy waves, it exploded in mid-air.
"However, you can't fight me with just this!" He said again, and then took a step and rushed towards Shen Ye.
Both sides were moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between them was less than ten meters.
"moment!"
At such a close distance, Sephiroth immediately swung his sword and slashed at Shen Ye with several sword auras, then dragged the long sword on the ground, preparing to take on another Amaterasu move.
But at this moment, the revolver in Shen Ye's hand suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a lightsaber emitting hot energy - the Tianji Qiankun Sword!
When rushing out, Shen Ye knew that he could not fight Sephiroth at all in the Wandering Gunner state, so he immediately switched to a Wandering Warrior.
"Three consecutive cuts!"
Facing the oncoming sword energy, Shen Ye grasped the lightsaber and slashed out several sword energies, which collided with the sword energy. Then he flashed, used a series of slashes, and quickly slid towards Sephiroth.
"Huh!"
Seeing this, Sephiroth was surprised. Wasn't the other party a gunner? Why did he suddenly use a sword?
But now is not the time to think about this, because Shen Ye's lightsaber has already stabbed into his chest.
"It's interesting, but not enough!" Feeling the scorching temperature emanating from the opponent's sword that he had never seen before, Sephiroth shook his head, gave up preparing Heaven's Light, raised his sword and swung it up to block the lightsaber in Shen Ye's hand.
The long sword and the lightsaber formed by energy collided with each other, but there was no sound of metal collision, but a dull humming sound. Both sides frowned at the same time, and then jumped away.
"I have never seen your weapon before. Can you explain where you came from?" Sephiroth looked at the lightsaber in Shen Ye's hand with curiosity in his eyes.
"I don't have time to explain this to you." Shen Ye said, and at the same time he was a little surprised at the quality of the long sword in Sephiroth's hand. You know, when he used the Tianji Qiankun Sword for the first time, he easily cut a one-centimeter thick steel plate, even easier than cutting butter with a hot knife.
"Taking secrets to the grave is not a good outcome." Sephiroth's tone sounded a little regretful.
"It's still unclear who will go to the grave!" Shen Ye said with a sneer, then raised his hand and clenched it towards Sephiroth in the air.
Four Symbols Lead!
In an instant, Sephiroth felt that the air around him seemed to solidify, and his body seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and that invisible big hand was still shrinking.
However, as the strongest special forces soldier of Shinra, with the blood of Jenova flowing in his body, how could Sephiroth be subdued so easily? He just shook slightly and broke free from the restraints of the Four Symbols.
Of course, Shen Ye didn't expect that this skill, which he had hardly used in the game, could cause any damage to Sephiroth. The reason he used this trick was just to try whether he could control Sephiroth, but it was obvious that Sephiroth was not affected by this trick at all.
"Is this the best you can do?" Sephiroth sneered, then raised his sword, flashed, and quickly rushed towards Shen Ye.
This time, his speed was even faster than last time. He appeared in front of Shen Ye in almost the blink of an eye. When he was about to swing his knife at Shen Ye, he saw Shen Ye just step to the side, and then his figure turned into a stream of light and appeared dozens of meters away.
Sephiroth was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, several hot fireballs hit him, causing a series of explosions.
However, he was a being with Jenova cells after all, so when the flames disappeared, Sephiroth stood there unharmed.
"Aerith, I don't want to attack you now." Sephiroth looked at Aerith coldly.
"On the contrary, I want to attack you." Aerith gripped the long stick with both hands and immediately began to chant another magic in a low voice.
"It's so frustrating!" Sephiroth shook his head, then turned and rushed towards Aerith. The slender sword drew a crescent-like arc in the air. He wanted to teach Aerith a lesson.
"The Tank is still here, are you ready to cut the back row and output?" Just as Sephiroth turned around, Shen Ye appeared behind him with a long sword, saying words Sephiroth had never heard of, and then swung the sword at Sephiroth.
Hearing the buzzing sound coming from behind him, Sephiroth did not dare to neglect. He could feel the terrifying temperature of the strange sword, which was much more threatening than Aerith's magic.
He immediately swung his sword back to knock away the lightsaber, then continued to strike with his sword to fight with Shen Ye.
Bang bang bang bang...
The dull sound of swords clashing continued to ring out, and the two men attacked each other dozens of times in an instant.
However, compared with Sephiroth, Shen Ye still has a lot of shortcomings in terms of physical fitness and weapon skills. After dozens of head-on fights, Shen Ye felt tremendous pressure.
The opponent is the strongest 1st...
"Although I have never heard of your moves, you are only a human after all. How can you be my opponent?" Seeing sweat on Shen Ye's forehead, Sephiroth said proudly.
"What about me!" Not far away, Aerith finally prepared her magic. Hearing Sephiroth's words, she pointed the long stick in her hand at the other party.
"Try this trick!" As soon as Aerith finished speaking, a magic circle appeared out of thin air above the church. Then countless lightning flashes jumped and flashed in the center of the magic circle, and then under Aerith's guidance, they turned into lightning snakes and struck Sephiroth.
Seeing this, Sephiroth could only distract himself and slashed at it with several sword qi, but Shen Ye, who had recovered, took this opportunity and stabbed him in the chest with his sword.
