136: Throwing knives, see also Throwing knives
The tone is light, the sword light is light, but the murderous aura is as thick as blood.
It's been sixty moments in a snap of the fingers, but the flash of the knife is just a matter of an instant.
At the moment when a faint sword light appeared. A flying knife like a crescent moon had pierced deep into Cheng Li's left chest, where his heart was.
Needless to say, the heart is definitely the most vital of the deadly human life. If you stab yourself with a knife, you will die without help.
But Cheng Li did not die. Even though the knife had pierced deep into his heart, he was not dead. Because of the invisible layer of dark matter armor, it will always stick to the last line of defense, ensuring that Cheng Li will never be harmed by anyone before this layer of armor disappears.
Cheng Li raised his arm, turned his hand, pinched the handle of the knife pierced in his chest with two fingers, and then threw it back.
When the white horse passed through the gap, the young man in the silver-white shirt didn't even have time to pull out the hand that had reached into the deerskin bag around his waist, and it was already like a lightning strike, and the whole person involuntarily fell backwards. The crescent moon flying knife taken from the girl in white pierced deep into the young man's eyebrows at this moment, completely depriving him of life.
After doing all this, Cheng Li waved his hand lightly, like brushing away a little dust on his clothes. He didn't even look back at the silver-clad young man. just quietly stared at the girl in white in front of him. Ning said, "You use a knife?"
The killing knife turned out to be useless. Extrapolating from common sense, this is a very heavy blow to almost anyone. But the girl in white was still indifferent. Like the moon hanging high in the night sky. No matter how the world changes, Mingyue always stays out of the world and watches coldly.
Hearing Cheng Li's inquiry, the girl in white only bowed her head slightly, and said lightly: "You also use a knife." β
Cheng Li said slowly: "Yes, I also use a knife." And the knife I use is the same kind of knife as the knife you use. β
The girl in white said lightly: "There is only one kind of knife in the world. That's the knife that kills. β
Cheng Li shook his head and said, "That's right, it's not right." Because your knife is not just a knife for killing. And it's the same as my knife, it's a flying knife that doesn't make a fool of itself. β
Between the eyebrows of the girl in white, a very peculiar expression was revealed. There are three parts sarcasm, three parts sadness, three parts anger, and one point helplessness about the impermanence of the world. She said lightly: "I don't necessarily have to be admitted to Tanhua to practice flying knives." β
Cheng Li looked at her deeply, and suddenly said, "Your surname is Xue?"
The girl in white shook her head and said, "No." My surname is Yi, Yi of Yi Shui Lou. β
Cheng Li nodded slowly and said, "The Demon Gate Yishui Building, there are four major killers of 'Star, Moon, Phantom, and Shadow'. So, you are Yi Shuiyue? hehe~ I see. Tang hate, Tang hate, the so-called Yishui Lou was actually manipulated by you, right? In Bai Yujing, the bloody case where the Seven Great Sword Sects were killed, as well as the bloody case of Bixia Yuanjun Temple at the foot of Mount Tai, are also your design, right?"
Tang Hat, who was hiding in the poison ingot, laughed sneeringly, and said proudly: "It's not bad at all. These two cases were done for my brother to let Yi Shuilou do. The so-called born in sorrow and died in peace. For your brother, this is also for your good.
These two cases are very interesting, right? However, the Seven Great Sword Sects are so wasteful, they can't even create more trouble for you, Brother Cheng, which is really unexpected by Brother Cheng in advance. Hehe~ Next time, I will definitely pay more attention to my brother. But...... Haha, maybe there's no next time. β
Regarding the malice hidden in Tang Hate's words, Cheng Li was completely unmoved. He snorted softly: "Yi Shui Phantom and Yi Shui Ying actually use the Xuanmo Needle that Tang hates you, and it has Tang Sect poison on it. I've suspected they've had something to do with you. However, Moon Maiden's throwing knife is different. That's not the martial arts of the Demon Gate, and it's not something that Tang Hate can teach you. So ......"
Cheng Li paused, looked back at the girl in white again, and asked, "A hundred years ago, what is the relationship between Xue Guiren, who was once famous in the world, and you?"
The girl in white suddenly trembled slightly, but did not answer. Just subconsciously, I bit my lip hard.
Cheng Li saw it in his eyes, and he already knew it in his heart. He said slowly: "My flying knife is inherited from the Dao system of the sword saint Le Sheng. The Sword Saint has been chivalrous and righteous all his life, and the people who have received his favor in the rivers and lakes don't know how many there used to be. Almost everyone believes that the Sword Saint is the embodiment of chivalry. thinks that his life is pure and flawless, absolutely without any stain. β
The girl in white endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it, and said coldly: "Ridiculous." Even immortals can't never do anything wrong. Lesheng Song can't even more. β
Cheng Li's jaw said, "Not bad." Therefore, the Sword Saint always remembered that in his life, there had been two big mistakes. A big mistake was to deal with his married brother and his fiancΓ©e back then. Another big mistake is about 'a sword flying snow' Xue Guiren.
Back then, 'A Sword Flying Snow' Xue Guiren was born out of thin air, challenging the world's masters with a sword. Thirty-one battles of all sizes, invincible. With the aftermath of the victory, he challenged the heads of the seven major sword sects such as Huashan, Kongtong, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Changbai, and Nanhai. All of them were won in seven moves. The reputation was unmatched by anyone in the world at that time.
At that time, the Sword Saint was just a young man who had just debuted. He is strong in blood, so he also learns from his predecessors and goes everywhere to find masters to challenge. And the target he fancy is 'a sword flying snow' Xue Guiren.
Xue Guiren himself became famous by challenging the masters. So when a junior also challenged him, he naturally couldn't refuse. So the two sides agreed to fight a decisive battle on the Yellow Mountain. β
The girl in white smiled. There was no hint of joy in the smile, only endless desolation. She said softly: "Tanhua flying knife, the example is not in vain." Therefore, Xue Guiren was of course defeated. β
Cheng Li sighed: "Yes, he lost." β
But at that time, the Sword Saint didn't know that because of the accumulated tuberculosis and pain after the battle, Xue Guiren had already suffered from an internal injury that no one could treat. And his wife has just left him.
suffered a heavy blow both physically and emotionally, and Xue Guiren at that time had only one-twelfth of his skills left at most. He simply couldn't duel anyone again.
But Xue Guiren is still the proud 'One Sword Flying Snow'. So he didn't tell others that he was actually no longer good, and still insisted on being injured to fight. β
In the eyes of the girl in white, there was a faint light - tears. She said softly: "Of course, a swordsman like him would rather die, and he would never tell his opponent that he is no longer good." Even if he did cut off his head, cut off his blood, and shatter his bones, he would never say such a thing to anyone. β
Cheng Li sighed: "Yes." So he went to war. And then he was defeated. Finally he died, in his own glory.
Many years have passed, and the Sword Saint still can't forget him, especially the pride and honor on Xue Guiren's face at the moment before he died. The Sword Saint once said that he had never seen someone who died so proudly, and he believed that he would never see it in the future. β
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Lifang said slowly: "Xue Guiren was no longer good at that time. But the Sword Saint didn't know.
If he knew, then he would definitely rather die than go to war. Later, he naturally knew. At that time, the Sword Saint realized that he was wrong. I killed a person who should not have been killed in the first place. He regretted it, but the big mistake was done, and it was useless to regret it. He made up his mind to do one more thing. It's about paying the price. β
Cheng Li paused, and continued: "No matter who he does, as long as he does something wrong, he will have to pay the price." Therefore, he recorded his flying knife mastery in a booklet, and then tried his best to find the descendants of the Xue family and give this booklet to the descendants of the Xue family. promised that one day, the debts owed to the Xue family would be repaid to the Xue family with interest. β
Pity. After that, the Sword Saint waited for many years, but he never waited for the descendants of the Xue family. But the hour has come. So in desperation, he could only hold this regret and set off to the legendary cave blessed land.
Many years later, because of fate, I obtained the Dao system of the Sword Saint, and I also knew about this dusty past that had been sealed for many years. The Sword Saint even left his last words, if one day, his heirs meet the descendants of the Xue family, then he must replace the Sword Saint, take good care of the descendants of the Xue family, and repay this debt.
So here's the problem. Miss Yue, what is the relationship between you and the Xue family?"
The girl in white raised her eyes for the first time and stared at Cheng Li seriously. Speak quietly:
"Date: Yuan Yezi time.
Location: Your house.
Blade: I use throwing knives, you can choose.
Victory or defeat: one move can determine the winner or loser, and life and death can also be determined.
Challenger: Zhongzhou. Happy. β
As long as it is a person who has rolled in the rivers and lakes, what the girl in white said. , surely will not be strange. Because this is the content of a challenge letter.
Since more than 100 years ago, if the younger teenagers in the rivers and lakes want to challenge anyone, then the challenge book they write will usually be in this format. In fact, the format of this war letter cannot be regarded as very standard. But between the lines, there seems to be a compelling arrogance, as if he has taken the other party's life and death into his own hands.
Because when the sword saint Le Shengge was just starting out, he often used this format of battle books to challenge the masters. So much so that many years later, the teenagers who admired the Sword Saint in the rivers and lakes also coincidentally adopted the same format of challenge books.
But few people still remember that the last time the Sword Saint sent a challenge book in this format, it was he who challenged Xue Guiren, the "One Sword Flying Snow". After that time, the Sword Saint never challenged anyone in any way.
At this time, from the mouth of the girl in white, I heard the challenge book that the Sword Saint had used back then. Then her identity is about to be revealed, and it will be revealed.
Cheng Li exhaled lightly and said affirmatively: "You are not Yi Shuiyue, you are Xue Yue." β
The girl in white said lightly: "Xue Mingyue." β
Cheng Li frowned and said, "The descendants of the Xue family have both the swordsmanship of the Xue family and the flying knife of the Sword Saint. Why did you fall into the Demon Dao and become the killer of Yishui Tower?"
Xue Mingyue said lightly: "The swordsmanship of the Xue family is actually nothing remarkable. The truly amazing people are only the ancestors themselves. But even like our ancestors, we will inevitably suffer incurable injuries in the end. Therefore, the swordsmanship of the Xue family has not been handed down. β
Cheng Li said: "But the flying knife of the Sword Saint does not have this kind of trouble. β
Xue Mingyue said quietly: "Although there is no trouble, it is by no means easy to practice. It should be said that if you don't have talent, even if you spend your whole life studying, you can't achieve anything. β
After a pause, the corners of Xue Mingyue's mouth revealed that sad smile again. Xu Xu said: "About this, my grandfather, and my father, they are the best proof.
The two of them are bent on turning the flying knife of the Lejia into the flying knife of the Xue family. So I spent most of my life practicing hard. It's a pity that in the end, the throwing knives they used were always mediocre and had no power at all. And they themselves have been delayed for a lifetime because of this. In the end, he died in reluctance and anger. After death, there was not even a decent coffin. β
Cheng Li was silent. After a long time, Fang said, "Perhaps...... If it weren't for the Knife Saint's flying knife, they might have lived a happier life in this life. β
Xue Mingyue said: "Maybe." But I told myself that I must not repeat their mistakes, and I must revitalize the Xue family in my hands. That's why I entered Yishuilou and became Yishuiyue. β
Cheng Li sighed lightly: "Perhaps, you are the one who the Sword Saint is really waiting for." The flying knife of the Sword Saint has indeed become a knife belonging to the Xue family in your hands. β
Xue Mingyue said quietly: "Then what about you, will you replace the Sword Saint and repay this debt that has been delayed for nearly a hundred years but has never been settled?"
Cheng Li said in a deep voice: "Since I have inherited the flying knife of the Sword Saint, then of course I have the obligation to repay this debt on behalf of the Sword Saint." It's just that the object of my repayment will only be Xue Mingyue, but it will not be Yi Shuiyue. β
Tang Hao, who was hiding in the poison ingot, shouted impatiently: "Xue Mingyue is Yi Shuiyue. Yi Shuiyue is Xue Mingyue. So this debt, Brother Cheng, you have to pay it back if you want to pay it off today, and you have to pay it back even more if you don't want to pay it back. Yue'er, shoot now!"
Xue Mingyue said indifferently: "Yishui Tower is a place to kill people. But if it weren't for Yishuilou, I wouldn't be alive today. So, it's also a debt that has to be repaid. Many things in the world are meant to be like this. No matter how much you don't want to do it, in the end, you have to do it. Cheng Li, you should understand very well. β
Cheng Li said slowly: "Yes, I understand. This debt between you and me, unless you die, or I die, can never be canceled. Again, unless you die, or Don hates him to die. Otherwise, the debt between you will always exist. β
Xue Mingyue said lightly: "Very good, you really understand." Well, please. β
Cheng Lidao: "What please?"
Xue Mingyue said: "Please take out the knife." β
Cheng Li took a deep breath and muttered, "Not bad." All the words have been spoken. Now, it's time to go for it. β
The words fell, and the knife was shot. It's throwing knives.
Throwing knives, see flying knives again.
