"Hey man, don't just stand there, run!" A demon hurriedly passed by me and shouted at me. He was covered in snow-white fur, and his two long ears were raised high up, making him a living rabbit!

　　I stared at his pink three-petalled mouth and asked curiously, "You're a rabbit demon?"

　　He stopped and said in a serious manner, "You're wrong, I'm a rabbit, but not a demon. Maybe if I cultivate for a few more hundred years, I'll become a rabbit demon, but right now, I'm just a rabbit."

　　I shook my head, "How can a rabbit talk? You are clearly a demon."

　　"You're wrong again, who says rabbits can't talk? Could it be that a rabbit that can talk is a demon? There is a poisonous grass in Devil's Shakra Heaven that can talk, could it also be a demon? People can also talk, are they also demons? There are many talking rabbits in my hometown, are they all demons? It seems you're talking nonsense without even knowing what it means to be a demon. Alright, I'll sacrifice some time and talk to you about the origin of demons." He rambled on and on, and I listened with my head spinning as I said, "Alright, even if you're not a demon. I don't have the time to gossip with you, goodbye!"

　　He hurriedly pulled me back, "You're wrong again, what do you mean even if I'm not a demon? What you mean is obviously still saying that I am a demon! Buddy, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong, but you have to correct it in time, you can't die without admitting it. You say you don't have the time to gossip with me, but you are actually running away from the truth, not daring to face it. You say you're the old man, am I your son? Then I'd like to ask carefully, what does my mum look like?"

　　I shit! No longer impatient, I swung my fist and sent him flying. Just climbed up a step, this guy followed me again, his three-valve mouth chattering, continuing to nag at me.

　　I was full of fire and cursed, "You son of a bitch, are you done?"

　　He glared, "Why are you talking nonsense again? I am a hare, how can I be the son of a tortoise? Just now you claimed to be my old man, are you a tortoise? How could a tortoise give birth to a hare? You must have used sorcery. Please tell me, I'm curious about this kind of demonic magic."

　　I wanted to cry, it was really bad to meet such a pestering idiot who couldn't be beaten away. A piece of incense in my hand had already burned out a third of the way. My heart was in awe, strange! How just this point of effort, sandalwood incense burned so fast? Could it be that when talking nonsense with this guy, the incense would burn especially fast? I was immediately alert.

　　He continued, "And ah, how can you just hit me with your hands? A gentleman moves his mouth, but a villain moves his hands. It's evident that you're a villain, and if you're a tortoise, then you're also a little tortoise."

　　I took a deep breath and made up my mind to never ignore him again and just run forward by myself. He followed me and kept counting me down, spitting and spraying in my face. I held back hard, never saying a word, just not answering.

　　"Why don't you say anything? Do you know that you have been wronged? Since you realise that you are wrong, then admit it frankly, I will forgive you. If you don't say anything, people will think you are a mute. But you're obviously not a mute, why do you pretend to be one? Is there some mischievous intention? Being a mute isn't bad, it's just that there are a lot of inconveniences, such as ...... By the way, do you know what it means to be a mute?"

　　I shook my head, bitterly restraining the annoyance in my heart, treating all his words as farts. The sandalwood incense in his hand, really burned slower, and after a while, his ears were clear. I took a look, he has become a stone statue, his mouth is still wide open, looks very ridiculous.

　　I was relieved, finally getting rid of this guy. At this time, the people and demons running in front of me let out a miserable scream and fell down, rolling down the stone steps and turning into a stone statue. I was shocked in my heart, directly in front of me, over the stone steps, there was a huge iron axe suspended, cold light flashing, swinging back and forth from side to side at an amazingly high speed, blocking the way forward. The human and demons tried to take advantage of the giant axe swinging to the side of the gap, rushed across the stone steps, but without exception, all were struck by the giant axe.

　　I stood on the stone steps, hesitating. The speed at which the giant axe swung was so fast and dazzling that it was impossible to see its true position. Trying to grasp that short momentary gap to rush over was too difficult.

　　The sandalwood incense burned rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, only half of it was left. I couldn't delay any longer, I rushed to the giant axe, "Hohoho", the sound of the wind when the axe was swinging pressed me almost suffocating. I hesitated again.

　　"Get out of the way!" A demon screamed and swept past me, it was thin and small, like a centipede, covered in red and black ring patterns. The centipede demon arched its back and popped out like lightning, charging towards the giant axe. The giant axe flashed by, and with a scream, the centipede demon was shaken out and fell at my feet, instantly turning into a stone statue. I was shocked and appalled, the speed of the centipede demon was considered very fast, and its body shape was tiny, even it couldn't rush past, let alone me.

　　The sandalwood incense continued to burn, time was running out. I suddenly remembered Mirage Saburo's promise that he would never harm me. Even if I was struck by a giant axe and turned into a stone statue, Mirage Saburo would still bring me back to life, right? Alright, Mirage Saburo, I'll trust you for once. I stared intently at the giant axe, gathered all my courage, and surged forward.

　　My luck seemed to be good, the giant axe just happened to swing to the other side, before I could be happy, the cold air was aggressive and morosely flashing, the giant axe sharply chopped to my side, the sharp axe blade seemed to cut through my skin.

　　Oh no! It's impossible to dodge! In desperation, I performed a Charming Dance stance, bending my body and springing forwards with the strength of my waist alone.

　　The giant axe brushed against my back.

　　It finally broke through! I just breathed a sigh of relief, and before I could stand still, a cold aura flashed out of the corner of my eye, and the giant axe came from the right side, thunderously and violently.

　　What's going on? I've already charged past it! I broke out in a cold sweat, rolled over, leaned back, legs stomped, performing the technique of Charming Dance, flying backward rapidly. "With a thud, I fell to the ground with my bum on the ground. A cold aura flashed in front of my eyes, my forehead was cold, a strand of hair was struck by a huge axe, and floated down leisurely.

　　Bloody hell! I climbed up and stared at the huge axe swinging in front of me, puzzled. Just now I had clearly rushed past, but why was the giant axe still in front of me?

　　Could it be that it has a spiritual nature and will move along with me? If that was the case, even if my speed was faster and my Charm Dance technique was more magical, it would be impossible for me to rush past the giant axe. Looking at the sandalwood incense that was burning rapidly, my heart was burning with anxiety.

　　The humans and demons all gathered around, looking at the giant axe and cowering in fear. Until now, no one had broken through this level of stone steps. Seeing the fear and anxiety on their faces, I felt that they were living flesh and blood and not some illusion.

　　This cave, it's so weird!

　　I quieted my mind, if I couldn't light the lamp, I would definitely be looked down upon by that woman Gan Lime Zhen. This time, old me must fight for it.

　　"To light that lamp, it doesn't depend on the strength of the demonic power, but on your heart." I suddenly remembered these words from Mirage Saburo. Indeed, I'm afraid that I can't punch the giant axe with my demonic power. But heartiness, what is heartiness? The scene of entering the cave flashed continuously in my mind.

　　If those beautiful women and treasures are the lust and greed in the heart, and the rabbit demon's chattering is the competitive spirit of strife and right and wrong, then this giant axe, what does it mean? I contemplated silently, the swinging giant axe, intertwined into a dense patch of light and shadow in front of my eyes, the loud rumbling sound, the chilling edge of the axe, naturally giving rise to fear. And the more one tries to dodge, the more one is unable to dodge. The more one feared being struck by the giant axe, the more one would be struck! Even if I rush over, the giant axe will still move after me, always blocking the front.

　　Beside me, a gnarled bearded man ran violently in front of the giant axe and hesitated for half a day, his legs trembling, not daring to rush over. "It will definitely be chopped to death!" He suddenly yelled in fear, turned around and retreated backwards, one step, two steps, and when he retreated to the third step, his majestic body slowly turned into a stone statue.

　　Looking at the big man who turned into a stone statue, it was as if an aura flashed through my mind. All human demons, including me, were afraid of being hit by a giant axe! The giant axe, was the fear in the heart! It dawned on me that as long as there was fear in my heart, this giant axe would be forever straddling the front, unable to be traversed!

　　Taking a deep breath, slowly, I puffed out my chest and, step by step, walked towards the giant axe.

　　Without fear, not to think of any consequences, my mind, a blank silence, like the surface of a lake.

　　All the distractions receded like a tidal wave.

　　The snowy giant axe hung in front of me, swaying in a ho-hum fashion, casting a terrifying shadow.

　　All the human and demon stared at me in surprise, trying to break through with such a slow pace was more like asking for death.

　　Lifting my head, I smiled slightly and took a step.

　　It was like stepping over a gently falling leaf under a dusk sunset, the giant axe just a breeze that brushed across my body.

　　I met it head on. Cold light flashed in the corner of my eye, and the giant axe came crashing down!

　　Without dodging, without panicking, I still maintained my original speed, my heart as quiet as water, slowly, taking a step.

　　The giant axe struck me, but I could not feel the slightest pain, the giant axe is like the air cohesion into, as if nothing, noiseless, through my body, swinging to the other side. When I turned back again, the giant axe was already behind me. This time, it didn't follow.

　　It had worked! I clenched my fists in ecstasy, and understood that when there is no fear in one's heart, the giant axe is nothing more than a false image. At the same time, "Boom" sound, the giant axe into fine powder, one after another, sprinkled down, the surrounding human and demon shouted, coaxed however, from my side have run past. Looked at one by one swept through the figure, my heart, suddenly sprung up a trace of pride.
