Chapter Seventy-Three: Grace and Righteousness

"Unexpectedly, a hundred secrets, Senior Brother Ling Chen, we underestimated you."

Lu Baichuan shook his head and sighed, he didn't expect them to attach so much importance to this operation, but the final result was still a failure.

This seemingly foolproof assassination operation first appeared in front of Ling Yin, who was able to accurately grasp their location and movements in the dark, this kind of ability was simply unheard of.

"Say, Who hired you?"

Xu Ruoyan put the long sword on Lu Baichuan's neck and asked in a cold voice.

Lu Baichuan shook his head, "The Shadow Building never reveals the information of the employer, and besides, I don't know who the employer is at all. ”

They are just killers who act on orders and have no direct contact with their employers.

"Damn, what's the use of keeping you alive?"

Xu Ruoyan frowned, she originally wanted to ask for any valuable information, but she didn't want to have any useful information.

At this time, Lu Baichuan's eyes showed a cold light, and he pulled out an extremely thin sword from his sleeve.

"Die!"

The sword light flashed, and the sword qi was like a white rainbow, stabbing at Xu Ruoyan's heart.

His speed was incredibly fast, and almost instantly, he stabbed Xu Ruoyan's heart.

Xu Ruo's fireworks were pale, and he saw this short sword stabbing over, but he couldn't dodge.

No one thought that this Lu Baichuan would choose jade burning.

Poof!

However, his sleeve blade did not stab Xu Ruoyan, and before that, Ling Chen's sword had already pierced Lu Baichuan's body from behind, shattering his heart.

Lu Baichuan's footsteps stopped suddenly, his eyes stared at Xu Ruoyan in front of him in a daze, he trembled, and fell straight to the ground.

"Since you know that you can't ask something, you should start cleanly and don't leave any chance for the enemy."

Ling Chen's face was indifferent.

Watching Ling Chen kill two killers from the Shadow Building in a row, Xu Ruoyan also felt a chill behind him, the current Ling Chen is only a fifteen-year-old boy, what has he experienced to make the other party have such a keen sense of smell and old experience.

In the face of this life-and-death struggle, Ling Chen didn't seem to panic at all.

"It's a failure, this matter has to be reported to the prince as soon as possible."

At this time, hiding behind a big tree not far away, a shocked look appeared in the eyes of a figure, and then quietly left.

This figure, whether it was Ling Chen or Xu Ruoyan, was not noticed.

At this time, Ling Chen also put away his heavy sword and began to grope around the black-clothed assassin before.

Since this guy has quenched poison on his weapon, he probably has an antidote on his body, and now Ling Yin's situation is in danger, he can only gamble.

"There it is."

Soon, Ling Chen found two jade bottles from the black-clothed assassin's body, one red and one white, which looked exactly the same except for the color.

Uncorked the bottle, Ling Chen sniffed it, and immediately frowned, the taste of these two medicines was exactly the same.

Without hesitation, just a moment's hesitation, Ling Chen poured out a drop of the medicinal liquid in the red jade bottle and swallowed it.

"Ling Chen, what are you doing, this is very likely poison." Seeing Ling Chen's actions, Xu Ruoyan's face also changed color.

"The poison and the antidote must be somewhere in between."

Ling Chen's face was solemn and authentic.

If he loses the bet, he and Ling Yin will both die, but as long as the bet wins, both of them can live.

After Ling Chen took the medicinal liquid, sure enough, a trace of toxin spread in his body, coagulating the blood and true qi in his body, and after having this feeling, Ling Chen also opened the white jade bottle without hesitation and swallowed it again.

"You're such a madman."

Xu Ruoyan was a little surprised by Ling Chen's actions, she felt that Ling Chen was really crazy, for a bought woman, to pay such a big sacrifice, is it really worth it?

If you don't do it, not only will you not be able to save it, but you will also lose your own life.

"This is the antidote."

Suddenly, Ling Chen's eyes lit up, and the toxins in his body actually dissipated at an astonishing speed.

There is no doubt that the liquid in this white jade bottle is the antidote.

Walking quickly to Ling Yin's side, Ling Chen poured the liquid medicine from the white jade bottle into the latter's small mouth.

As long as the toxin has not invaded the internal organs, there should be salvation.

With this in mind, Ling Chen sat down cross-legged behind Ling Yin, his palm pressed against the latter's powdered back, and injected a wisp of true qi into Ling Yin's body.

"I'm here to help, too."

Xu Ruoyan also sat down in front of Ling Yin, urging the true qi, and the jade hand was placed on Ling Yin's chest, releasing a wisp of pure cold true qi.

Under the infusion of this true qi of the two of them, the spread of the antidote in Ling Yin's body was accelerated, and after a while, Ling Yin's face was also swept with a trace of blood.

"Looks like the antidote has taken effect."

A look of surprise appeared on Xu Ruoyan's pretty face, and at the same time, a hanging heart also fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan let go almost at the same time, and the moment they let go, Ling Yin's body also fell down and lay in Ling Chen's arms.

"I'm saved."

Ling Chen also exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, this time it was really dangerous, if he was unlucky, Ling Yin would definitely die.

But until now, he didn't know who wanted to harm him, who invited these two secret assassins, if it wasn't Ye Nantian's family, then who was it?

These two assassins are not the same group of black-clad dead men encountered in the hunting grounds.

This is the most terrible thing, and even the enemy does not know who he is.

"Ling Chen, if you continue to stay in this Divine Consciousness Gate, it will only become more and more dangerous, and the Divine Intention Gate will not care about your life or death at all, so why should you stay here."

At this time, Xu Ruoyan suddenly looked at Ling Chen, and his tone became a lot softer.

"If I don't stay here, where can I go?"

Ling Chen shook his head, this place is the place where he grew up, he will not leave easily, besides, only in the sect can he understand the gap between himself and others, understand the fierce competition among geniuses, and leaving here is equivalent to losing the pressure of competition.

"Since this Divine Consciousness Gate can't accommodate you, you can just go back to the Heavenly Void Palace with me."

A glint appeared in Xu Ruoyan's beautiful eyes, and she continued: "Our Tianxu Palace will definitely welcome you, a martial arts wizard, and my father will definitely value you very much." ”

Hearing this, Ling Chen smiled coldly, then raised his head and looked at Xu Ruoyan indifferently, "Leaving the Divine Intention Gate and joining the Heavenly Void Palace, do you want me to be a traitor to change the court?" ”

Changing the court, this is a taboo in the Five Kingdoms, and even in the entire Mixed Yuan Continent, once Ling Chen does this, he is afraid that he will be branded as a traitor for the rest of his life and be scolded by people in the martial arts.

How could he possibly do such a thing. This Divine Consciousness Sect was strengthened in the hands of his father, how could he rebel from the sect.

"That's not what I meant."

Xu Ruoyan wanted to explain again, but Ling Chen had already waved his hand, not planning to listen to her say more, "You go, I will handle my affairs myself, and I don't need an outsider to interfere." ”

"Outsiders?"

These two words, like two steel needles, pierced Xu Ruoyan's heart, stabbing her heart fiercely.

It turns out that Ling Chen still sees her as an outsider now? Is this guy telling the truth?

"The marriage contract between us will be dissolved sooner or later, and you and I are just ordinary friends, you must also understand this, so I don't need to say more." Ling Chen frowned and said.

Xu Ruoyan's eyes were shocked, and an incredible look appeared in her beautiful eyes, could it be that all this was just her own affection? Ling Chen, he didn't feel the slightest bit of himself.

"No, Ling Chen, in your heart, there must be a place for me, do you dare to say that you don't like me at all?"

Xu Ruoyan's beautiful face was almost about to cry, and with such a look, I was afraid that any man would feel pity, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

"A woman who only causes trouble for me and drags her feet, do you think I can like her?"

Ling Chen's expression was still indifferent, as if he was hard-hearted, indifferent, "Didn't you just say that Ling Yin is a child daughter-in-law, that's right, I bought her with this purpose, she is the type I like." ”

Laugh at!

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword was already on his neck, cutting his skin apart, and a trace of blood flowed out.

"You just killed me, and I still say that. Emotional matters cannot be forced. Ling Chen closed his eyes and stopped looking at Xu Ruoyan.

A touch of sadness appeared on her pretty face, Xu Ruoyan put down her sword, and a pair of beautiful eyes like sapphires quickly became hollow, as if she had lost her soul, and then her long sword suddenly swung and cut off one of her skirts.

The torn white robe fell, and Xu Ruoyan also turned around and left, without looking back.

"Ling Chen, from now on, I will break off with you."

This voice, extremely cold, seemed to skim off all emotion.

This sentence was also like a sharp sword, inserted into Ling Chen's heart.

Mourning is greater than heart death, at this moment, Xu Ruoyan's heart is dead.

When he opened his eyes, Ling Chen looked at Xu Ruoyan, who had already walked away, and the whole person was extremely lost.

I'm sorry, but I have more important things to do. The love of children is long, and they are destined to have no chance with me.

The path he has to take is a difficult path of exploration, a path of revenge, and his enemies are also extremely powerful, putting him in danger again and again, and it is too dangerous to follow him.

"Brother Lingchen, why do you want to go against your heart?"

At this time, Ling Yin in her arms woke up, although she was ignorant, she also heard the conversation between Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan, she saw Ling Chen's expression in her eyes, and of course she understood what was going on.

"I don't want to, either, but sometimes people have to do things that go against their hearts."

Ling Chen didn't know how to explain to Ling Yin that the emotions between men and women were very complicated things, and he had his reasons for doing this, and he had to do it.

Ling Chen sighed, picked up Ling Yin on the ground, and walked towards the house.
