Chapter 8 A glimmer of life
"Whoa......
The autumn rain is majestic and powerful, as if it wants to flood the land, and there is no trace of a tendency to get smaller. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky was overcast, the clouds were heavy, and the whole land was as black as ink, with a demonic terror.
"Jie Ji ......"
The eerie laughter was intermittent, and it was impossible to break through the blockade of the autumn rain and spread farther away.
"Whew......"
Three black shadows walked swiftly through the trees.
They are like dark clouds falling from the sky, no, to be precise, they are darker than the dark clouds, and the black is so thick that it seems a little out of place with the darkness of this world.
"It's the breath of the old six and seven, deep in the forest ahead."
"According to the news from the two spies, that young man only has the strength of the Guiyuan Realm, and with the strength of the sixth and seventh olds, he should easily complete the task."
"If it were an ordinary person, the palace envoy would not let our assassin clan take action, it seems that things have gone in a bad direction."
"It's also possible that the person who killed the two spies made a move, after all, even the palace envoy couldn't find out how the two spies died."
"Is the order of the palace envoy annulled or killed this time?"
"Kill at all costs."
……
From time to time, a cold voice came out from the three black shadows, like a ghost roaring, and like a demon screaming, very weird.
……
……
Inside the ancient temple.
Yechen frowned, as if he looked out of the ancient temple with some feeling, and the feeling of rising by chance urged him to leave, as if some terrifying existence was approaching.
"It seems that this place is not suitable for long."
Yechen turned around, handed the long sword to Xue Dong, and said, "With the love of the sword, he will return it one day." Then he said goodbye to Xue Haizuo and said, "The younger generation still has important matters, so I will leave first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xue Hai to speak, Yechen walked at great speed and quickly disappeared into the night rain.
Because he felt that the danger was getting closer.
It wasn't until Yechen left that Xue Yao and Xue Dong came back to their senses.
They looked at the four corpses on the ground, then at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on Xue Hai.
Although Xue Hai was surprised, he was also calm, after all, if he lived for a long time, he would see more.
"Dad, does that young man really only have the strength of the Guiyuan Realm? Why do I have a feeling that I can't overcome him? Xue Dong asked, he was a little puzzled, with luck, hoping that he was wrong.
"It's so powerful when you come out of it, if you were born in our family, wouldn't it be better than me?" Xue Yao said with a grin.
Xue Hai looked at Xue Yao and Xue Dong in front of him, they were the most talented among the juniors of the Xue family, but compared with Yechen, there was still a big gap, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Some people are born kings, and some people are destined to go down in history." Fate never favors a person for no reason. So, all you can do is be yourself. ”
Xue Yao and Xue Dong shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand.
Xue Hai thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know who that young man is?" ”
Xue Yao waved his hand and said, "Didn't you just come out of the middle of nowhere?" I've never heard of Nomura called. ”
Xue Dong looked at Xue Hai's expression, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that he hid his real name?" So who is he? ”
"Okay, you dare to lie to me, don't let me see it next time, otherwise he will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth."
Xue Yao listened to Xue Dong's words, his face changed slightly, he raised his little hand, and said, "Then who is he?" ”
Xue Haidao: "Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye, it should be his real name if it is reversed." ”
"Cheng Ye, Yechen...... Nighttime? ”
As if he had been stepped on by his tail, Xue Yao suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "He can't be that county king Yechen, right?" The man my father often mentions? ”
Xue Dong also looked at Xue Hai in surprise, he had always heard the legend of the county king Yechen, but he had never seen it, not only had he not seen it, even many civil and military officials had never seen it.
In the Empire, Nighttime is an enigmatic existence.
"Could it be that the rumors that he can't cultivate are false?" Xue Dong asked uncertainly.
Xue Hai shook his head and said helplessly: "It's true that you can't cultivate, but now ......"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xue Hai stopped talking, looked up at the outside of the ancient temple, the door was opened by Yechen and did not close again, with the help of the afterglow of the bonfire, he could see the woods in the distance, and in the depths of the woods, there seemed to be something approaching.
"How did they come here? Don't...... No wonder he went in such a hurry. Xue Hai frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"What's wrong? Third uncle. Xue Yao looked at Xue Hai, a little strange.
Xue Dong followed Xue Hai's gaze, looked out of the door, and found that there were three black shadows moving in their direction, but in the blink of an eye, the three black shadows stopped outside the gate of the ancient temple.
"Jiji, I didn't expect to meet the third master of the Xue family here." The dark shadow that stays in the middle makes an eerie sound that makes people's scalp tingle.
"What the hell are they?" Xue Yao asked in a low voice, she hated the feeling that the three black shadows brought her.
Xue Hai glared at Xue Yao, then looked at the three black shadows, and said, "I didn't expect to meet the patriarch of the assassin clan here, life is really wonderful." According to the agreement, the Assassins were not allowed to meddle in worldly matters. But now, why are you chasing down an ordinary teenager? ”
Xue Hai's face was gloomy, since he knew that the previous boy was Yechen, then he should help with all his feelings.
"Assassins?"
Xue Yao and Xue Dong shook their heads, their eyes were full of shock and disgust, they had never heard of this race, this race gave people a disgusting feeling.
"Ordinary teenagers?"
The gloomy voice sounded again, and said, "Do you think that an ordinary teenager can kill the sixth and seventh elders of my family?" From the moment he stepped down the Totem Mountain, he was no longer ordinary. So, he had to die. ”
As the dead word fell, the surrounding air faintly made a strange sound, and the dim bonfire seemed to have been washed away by the heavy rain, and it was a little strange.
Xue Hai was stunned, it turned out that it was not because of the rebellion of the empire, he thought about it and said, "As the guardian of the empire, no matter what the reason, you will never be allowed to touch him." ”
Xue Hai's tone was calm and deep, like an ancient pool of still water, which made people shudder.
"I heard that the third master of the Xue family is invincible with a pair of iron fists, let me weigh it today, whether your fists are hard or my darkness is strong."
With an emotionless tone, darkness flowed, enveloping the entire ancient temple in an instant, and then the Assassin Patriarch said to the two beside him, "Go and kill him." ”
"Brush."
Two dark shadows disappeared in the blink of an eye, chasing towards the night.
At this moment, Xue Hai's fist had already pierced through the darkness, lightning and thunder, and he was unstoppable, directly blasting towards the assassin patriarch.
The Assassin Patriarch clasped his hands together, and the endless darkness quickly converged, turning into a substantial shield in front of him.
"Boom."
The shield shattered his fist, and under one blow, the two were evenly matched.
"What a domineering fist."
The darkness flowed again, and the figure of the assassin patriarch became illusory, enveloping Xue Hai in an instant, and at the same time, countless short swords transformed from darkness stabbed at Xue Hai.
"Insect carving skills."
Xue Hai snorted coldly, waved his fists, the fist shadow was monstrous, and the thunder roared, fighting with the assassin patriarch.
……
……
After leaving the ancient temple, Yechen walked towards the depths of the woods, walking extremely fast, not daring to stop at all.
But no matter how fast he was, the deadly crisis remained.
"Guy, in the dark, you still want to get rid of our assassin clan's pursuit, I really don't know if you are short-sighted or you are an idiot." Suddenly, an eerie voice came from all sides of the woods.
Yechen suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold, if it wasn't for his good heart, he would have been paralyzed at this time.
Yechen endured the fear in her heart and continued to run wildly.
He could detect the assassins chasing after him, his strength was very strong, maybe he would die in Huangquan with a single face, and there was no chance of victory at all.
Not even a chance to make a move.
Therefore, he can only run forward now, as if fleeing all the way from the empire to Totem Mountain.
Yechen hated it.
But he had to run.
Because his strength is too weak, he can't control his life and death at all.
It's a fact that it's frustrating.
But he had to accept it.
"Strength."
Yechen gritted his teeth and ran desperately, only by surviving can he be strong, otherwise everything is illusory.
"Boom, the expression of the prey when it is desperately fleeing is really the best."
The distance was closer, and Yechen felt depressed, a feeling of imminent death.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, there was a faint roar of mountains and rivers ahead, like a waterfall falling down from a high mountain, and like a turbulent river crashing against the mountain rocks.
"It's a flash flood."
Yechen saw a glimmer of life, and his legs couldn't help but speed up, and the distance between him and the assassin tended to widen slightly.
"Boom, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, you actually run towards the cliff, you are the stupidest prey I have ever seen."
Yechen ignored the Assassin's taunts, but ran as fast as he could, and soon he was out of the woods, and it was pitch black in front of him, and as the Assassin had said, there was a cliff ahead.
And the roar of the mountains and rivers came from under the cliffs.
Yechen's face was happy, his body sank, his legs jumped, and the whole person jumped into the cliff, very decisively, without a trace of hesitation.
"This ......"
The two assassins were stunned, shouldn't their prey be dying and struggling when they were in a desperate situation?
They had seen a cliff jump, but they had never seen such a direct jump, without a trace of hesitation, and without even saying a word of ridiculous vows.
Suddenly, the two Assassins were frozen in the night rain.
And for Yechen, who acted decisively, this was a helpless but also the best choice.
Stop, and you will surely die.
Jump, there is still a chance of life.
So he decisively chose that glimmer of life and jumped off the cliff.
He wouldn't stop and say a few meaningless vows like "If I live, I'll kill you," like everyone else, because maybe life ends the moment he speaks.
The autumn rain is still there, and the darkness is endless.
In the void, Yechen held his head in his hands, curled his legs, and turned himself into a spherical shape, and then with a bang, the whole person fell into the rushing torrent.
