Volume 2: Qinglian Sword Song XVIII: Kenshin

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the rooftops of every house, and children who are playing outside run home crying under the coercion of their mothers' sticks.

In the square in front of the Star Picking Tower, the ground was shattered, and Xu Wenxuan, who was wearing heavy armor, stood there with a giant sword in his hand, watching the sunset.

The setting sun passes through the surface of the star-picking tower, dyeing the earth fiery red. There was not a trace of sweat on his face, even though the ground was steaming from the sun.

Footsteps came from a distance, and a scholar with a long sword in his hand walked towards him.

"Stop picking up the star building!"

He let out a majestic sound, and the powerful coercion instantly came to his face, Chen Wen also looked embarrassed, his body shook and took a step back to stop, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and his teeth clenched and three words came out of the cracks.

"Xu Wenxuan, I want you to die!"

Hearing this, he finally moved, turned to look at the single storyteller, and his emotionless eyes gradually shone brightly.

"I remember you, the fish that slipped through the net of the elimination plan, why don't you cherish your life since you have escaped? Do you think you can hurt me alone?"

"Hehehehe...... , As the God of War of the Great Zhou, and how strong you are as the next generation of God Generals, of course I understand. But that's in the past, and I've learned that you've been fighting since you returned from the Great Wall, and you're not as strong as you used to be when you're badly wounded. Today you are fighting with Li Xin again, I am afraid that you are already exhausted and full of injuries, and now you are just a paper tiger with empty spirit!"

A cold light flashed in Xu Wenxuan's eyes, and the sword plunged into the ground from all around him, he stared at the storyteller and asked, "Not to mention whether what you said is true, even if it is true as you said, do you think you alone can really kill me?"

Forced to spit out blood by coercion, Chen Wen also held the sword in his hand, slowly stood up straight with trembling legs, and looked at the other party with a miserable smile, "To be honest, I don't even have one-tenth of my confidence, but this is the only chance I have the most likely to kill you, so I have no choice." ”

Time stood still for a few seconds, and Xu Wenxuan was still expressionless, but his hand was clenched to the sword, which already represented his determination.

"I don't know where you learned about this, but the fact that you came here deserves my respect. ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword, pointed it at the storyteller, and said with a serious and solemn expression: "Come on, sword-wielding!"

Chen Wen also raised his sword and rushed towards the other party in a roar.

"Suffer death, Xu Wenxuan!"

............

After the sword light and sword shadow, the front of the Star Picking Tower quieted down.

The sun had set, and the heavens and the earth were gradually plunged into darkness.

Chen Wen also fell in a pool of blood, and the demonized she had purple soft armor all over her body at the moment, and half of her face was demonized, but only her consciousness remained awake. His eyes were on the sky, and he saw the sky that was gradually enveloped in darkness, and the sun that was about to set in the west.

"It's going to fall, it's going to be dark!"

"You've lost!"

A figure blocked the dazzling sunset, and he put his hand in front of his eyes and looked through the gap between his fingers, it was Xu Wenxuan's face.

"Hehehehe...... It's me who lost...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" he laughed, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Some things are really painful, you are the one who killed us, and you are the one who let us go. You are a hero to all, but you are a killer when we are in danger. And in the end, they let us go. Xu Wenxuan, what are you thinking?"

In the face of his questioning, Xu Wenxuan was silent, just looking at him quietly.

"I see!

The four looked at each other, and after looking at each other for a long time, Chen Wen also smiled. He slowly closed his eyes, just as the world without the sun plunged into complete darkness.

"I'm sorry!" A tear fell from the corner of Chen Wenye's eyes, and his fiery heart gradually became cold.

Feeling that the people on the ground had no breath, Xu Wenxuan took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, revealing his handsome and tired face.

The evening breeze blew from the bamboo forest, he threw down his sword and picked up the corpse on the ground, let his long hair fly in the wind, and walked out of the square step by step.

"Whose fault is it?"

Before dark, Li Xin asked Li Qinglian this question at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Xu Wenxuan is the god of war of the Great Zhou, but he killed innocent people because of his demonic energy. But if he doesn't kill people, then these people will gradually demonize under the erosion of demonic qi and kill more people.

These demonized people, who should have been protected as the people of the Great Zhou, were betrayed by the country and the heroes in their hearts. They themselves are innocent, but they are killed and persecuted because of their demonic energy.

Whose fault is it?

Li Xin's mind exploded, and he couldn't judge anymore. From the beginning of the vague information he could determine right from wrong, but now that he knows everything, he is confused.

Li Qinglian patted his head and said, "There is no perfect solution, in most cases all we can do is to follow our own wishes." If you want to protect more people, make yourself stronger, and you will have more options. Achieving balance is the best outcome if you can. ”

With that, he looked at Luna, who was asleep under the big locust tree in the courtyard.

The entanglement in Li Xin's eyes dissipated a lot, he took a long breath, and smiled helplessly: "Maybe, but I've never liked to choose, since I have decided, I will do it, and let a smart person like you do it!"

Di Renjie rushed to the Star Picking Tower, and when he got there, he didn't find Chen Wenye and Xu Wenxuan, but he sensed the breath of the other party, followed the breath and followed him to the city wall, and sure enough, he found the two of them.

On the city tower under the moonlight, Xu Wenxuan stood on the edge of the city wall, and the soldiers guarding around him had been retreated by him, leaving only him and a corpse.

Di Renjie walked over and threw the wine jar in his hand. The other party took a sip of the wine jar steadily, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"It's not enough to taste, but it's okay!"

"Be content, there are few shops open all the way!" Di Renjie walked over and snatched the wine jar away.

The two of you drank one sip at a time, but after a while, a large jar of wine was drunk.

Belch.........

Two loud hiccups echoed through the sky, like a rooster crowing.

The two of them, who shouldn't have been drunk, had red cheeks at the moment, and their whole bodies were full of alcohol, and under the cool breeze, they not only did not wake up, but became more and more hot-headed.

"Am I wrong?" Xu Wenxuan asked him.

"You're not wrong, you just did what you had to do!" Di Renjie replied.

"Then why are there innocent people dying because of me? They are just ordinary people, just children, and I brutally killed them, and I have to pretend to be 'I'm not wrong'!"

Looking at Xu Wenxuan, who kept talking, Di Renjie knew that he was really drunk. And to his question, he couldn't answer. Because he himself had such doubts in the past, he knew that this kind of thing could really solve the problem only himself.

"Am I wrong?"

"You're right!"

The two of them asked and answered questions like this, and spent this cold night.
