Chapter 2291 Making up for regrets
Matthew looked at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him. The hand that was pinching the other's neck paused slightly, and the strength weakened a little.
That face, those eyes, even the expression between his eyebrows were exactly the same as his own, as if he was looking in a mirror.
However, Matthew knew clearly in his heart that the person in front of him was not himself, but the incarnation of his inner demon, which was the darkest and most vulnerable side of his heart.
"Kill me and you can get your revenge."
At this moment, the man in black robe whose neck was pinched suddenly spoke.
His voice was exactly the same as Matthew's, low and calm, and he showed no panic or pain from having his neck strangled.
The voice seemed to carry a bewitching power, striking directly at the softest part of Matthew's heart.
If the other party didn't speak, Matthew might have continued in this furious state, trying his best to vent the hatred and anger in his heart.
However, after hearing these words, the anger on Matthew's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold smile.
His eyes became as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate all illusions and get to the essence.
"The inner demon is just like this."
Matthew sneered, his tone carrying a hint of disdain and sarcasm.
His voice was low and cold, as if announcing the other party's defeat.
After he finished speaking, a ball of white light suddenly appeared on his other palm.
The light was pure and dazzling, as if it contained endless power, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy surroundings.
When the inner demon saw the white light, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't know what Matthew was going to do, he instinctively felt a strong threat.
His body began to struggle, trying to break free from Matthew's control, but Matthew's palms were like iron clamps, firmly locking his neck and making him unable to move at all.
"what are you up to!"
There was a hint of trembling in the inner demon's voice, and it no longer had the previous calmness and composure.
His eyes were filled with fear, as if he saw his own end.
"Soul search!"
Matthew spat out these two words coldly, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.
The white light in his palm suddenly grew stronger, covering the whole body of the inner demon like a flash of lightning.
The light burned the inner demon's body like a flame, causing him to let out a sharp scream.
Within the white light, the inner demon's body began to twist and deform, as if it was being torn apart by an invisible force.
His face gradually became hideous, and his eyes were filled with pain and despair.
His screams echoed in the empty space, as if tearing everything apart.
However, Matthew seemed not to have heard the scream and remained calm and focused.
His eyes were cold and firm, as if he was performing a solemn ceremony.
He knew that only through soul-searching could he completely uncover the true face of this inner demon and find the key to breaking the illusion.
As Matthew continued to perform the soul-searching technique, the screams from the inner demon became more and more tragic.
The voice seemed to have a power that penetrated the soul and made people shudder.
However, Matthew remained motionless like a stone statue.
His mind was completely immersed in the performance of the soul-searching technique, and nothing in the outside world could disturb him.
At this moment, the surrounding environment changed again.
The originally dark stone road disappeared, replaced by a barren desert.
The sky was filled with yellow sand and the wind was howling, as if it was going to swallow everything.
However, Matthew completely ignored all of this. His eyes were still fixed on the inner demon, and the white light in his palm did not weaken at all.
Then the desert turned into a vast ocean.
The huge waves hit the rocks, making a deafening roar.
However, Matthew remained unmoved. His mind was like a pool of stagnant water, and no matter how the outside world changed, it could not stir up a ripple.
As the soul-searching technique progressed, images began to emerge in Matthew's mind.
Those scenes flashed by quickly like a kaleidoscope.
He saw his childhood life in Wangxian City, the love of his parents, the hardships he had experienced on the road of cultivation, those who had helped him, and those who had betrayed him.
These images were like a key that opened the long-closed door deep in Matthew's heart.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, including nostalgia, pain, and relief.
He knew that these memories were the most real part of his heart and the soil in which his inner demons grew.
However, Matthew did not dwell on these memories.
His mind remained calm and clear.
Only by completely cutting off these obsessions can we truly defeat our inner demons and escape from the illusion.
At this moment, the inner demon's body began to gradually dissipate.
His screams gradually weakened and finally disappeared.
In the white light, only a dark mist remained, which seemed to contain endless resentment and unwillingness.
Matthew looked at the mist, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this ball of fog was the core of his inner demon. As long as he completely eliminated it, he would be able to completely break free from the demon's bondage.
"It's over." Matthew whispered, and the white light in his palm suddenly became stronger, completely engulfing the mist.
The mist struggled in the white light for a moment, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.
With the disappearance of the inner demon, the surrounding environment changed again.
The barren desert, the raging waves, everything disappeared.
Matthew found himself back in the familiar courtyard. The middle-aged man and the woman were still busy as if nothing had happened.
However, this time, Matthew no longer had the previous conflicts and struggles in his heart.
His eyes became clear and firm, as if he had seen through all the illusions.
He knew that all this was an illusion, and he had found a way to break it.
"Father, mother..."
Matthew murmured in a low voice, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't continue to sink into despair.
When his parents heard his call, they turned their heads at the same time.
Matthew also showed an innocent smile on his face.
The disappearance of his parents was the last obsession weighing on his heart.
The inner demon also took advantage of this and wanted to make him sink into it completely.
However, the inner demon did not know that Matthew had another treasure on him.
That is the most precious treasure of the Wa clan. It is only with this thing that Matthew can search the soul of such an illusory thing as the inner demon.
It is precisely because of the Wa clan's treasure in his hand that Matthew can now use the remaining power of his inner demon to make up for the most vulnerable nerve in his heart.
At this moment, Matthew threw away all distracting thoughts in his mind and made good use of this fleeting opportunity that would never come again.
