Chapter 32: "Sincerity" Meets
Ye Yan smiled and watched the old man with white hair slowly pacing out of the living room with a dragon head cane, the wrinkles on his face were vertical and horizontal, I don't know how many days and months he had experienced, standing in the door frame, he looked at Ye Yan, there was no fluctuation in his deep old eyes.
"There are talented people in the country......," the old man sighed.
Ye Yan didn't speak, just laughed, the old man saw his carelessness, and he didn't talk about any big topics, and asked directly: "Why do you want to be an enemy of my Li family?" β
"The night wolf has always moved with interests." Ye Yan's answer was light and light.
"Is there any possibility of reconciliation?"
"Nope." Song Buyu spoke on the side, his tone was equally flat, and he couldn't hear hatred, hatred, or other superfluous feelings.
"The Song family also moves with interests?"
"The Song family is just here to avenge an arrow. Of course, if you can also think of it as a 'benefit', then yes. β
"Song doesn't exceed the price you pay, I will pay five times more, and I want the Song family to be removed from Qingchuan tonight."
Ye Yan was silent, Song Buyu accompanied him silently, and after a while, the former spoke: "Do you know that four years ago, in the Sunset Forest, Song Buyu's caravan was completely wiped out? β
"I've heard a little." The old man of the Li family narrowed his eyes, and he was speculating on the deep meaning of Ye Yan's words.
"That time, in order to establish the prestige of the night wolf, I personally made that commission, of course, it was done by one person, single-handedly, nearly 100 people died in the hinterland of the deep forest, including the existence of the peak of the spirit, after that single business was done, I repeatedly wondered if I did the right thing, or if I could do it again, would I do the same thing." Ye Yan smiled suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the moonlight cast a shadow under his eyelashes. "But then I figured out that if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't be going down the same path, because the winter of that year was not cold enough."
Suddenly, Ye Yan made a move, although his body was weak, but his movements were so fast, his figure, clothes, and everywhere he went, even the moisture in the air formed into flakes of ice. The old man turned to one side and barely flashed over. He grinned, the white beard curling from his lips. "In a hurry?"
"You are no match for me," Ye Yan retracted his body and stood under the moon with his hands in his hands, while Song Buyu stood a few steps away, looking at him quietly. "Kill yourself, I promise that after killing your descendants, I will not move anyone else."
"What's the difference between that and the fall of the Li family?" The old man said in a low voice, and suddenly, Song Buyu felt the danger, in front of them, the old man's weak aura suddenly became stronger, from the silent negligent boiling, and suddenly rushed to four or five small consummations!
"Sure enough, there are people who are little consummated...... Song Buyu muttered to himself, he knew that the Li family had more than one ancient name. And maybe there are others! β
"it!" Ye Yan smiled in his eyes, this was his first shot after the snow, almost the first time in a year to use cultivation, at this time he was like a giant beast that had been dormant for three seasons, once he woke up, his mind was full of only hunger and excitement.
"Hula", the cold wind blew Song Buyu's cheeks hurt, Ye Yan grabbed the old man with one hand, not the slightest fancy and pompous, just one hand, which seemed to be the cold of the whole winter.
"The afterlife is frivolous!" The old man snorted, and his cultivation turned into sound waves, twisting and sweeping over like a whirlwind. Ye Yan sneered, flicked it with one hand, and sent the powerful cyclone away.
"Your cultivation is not against me at all!" The blow was broken, the old man was not angry but happy, and in Ye Yan's counterattack, he felt the weakness of the other party. "In the cultivation, there is a level apart, which is the deep pool, and across a realm, it is the heavenly abyss! If you are one level worse than me, even if two people work together, it may not be able to make up for it! β
Ye Yan moved his fingers and glanced at his right hand indifferently, although the one-handed flick seemed light, the gap in cultivation was a hard injury, and he could feel that from his fingers to his arm, he was completely unconscious.
"How are you?"
"Stand down!" Ye Yan's voice was cold, and he drank Song Buyu, and then turned his head disdainfully, and glanced at the old man with slanted eyes. "This sentence should be what I said to you, if you cultivate to a star and a half, you want to cover the sky with one hand? Childish, ridiculous, I ask you, you don't even have a companion, how dare you do it with me? β
The old man's body shook suddenly, the joy just now had not subsided, the paleness and panic instantly surfaced in his eyes, and an old face was instantly extremely embarrassed. Companion ...... How many talented young powerhouses have been crushed by these three words? How many former geniuses are doomed to decline in the future because of the lack of support from these three words?
It's like a hard race, and many people are unfair at the starting point!
But suddenly, he gritted his teeth and smiled again. "Since you came to Qingchuan, you have always acted in secret, few people have a direct dispute with you, and no one knows what your companion is."
"Oh, this kind of thing, is it necessary to report to the house?" Ye Yan chuckled, but in an instant, he shot again, and the old man's speed was not slower than him, so when Song Buyu reacted, the two had already clashed!
"A Thousand Blades!" When the old man saw Ye Yan approaching, he immediately decided to use the law to decide. In an instant, hundreds of sharp blades glowing with cold light appeared in mid-air, and they hung coldly, pointing coldly at the ground.
"Mass attack law." Song Buyu immediately classified the old man's legal decision, "Although the single damage of the group attack class is not strong, after all, there is a gap in cultivation......
Before Song Buyu's words landed, hundreds of cold blades smashed down like a torrential rain under the clouds, as soon as he gritted his teeth, Ye Yan asked him to be an assistant, he must not sit idly by!
"Lotus petals guard the heart!" This is the rule of the Qingyun Sect's small world, which belongs to a single defense, and under the same cultivation, it is more powerful and solid than a group defense.
Ye Yan seemed to expect that Song Buyu would make a move, so he directly ignored the hundreds of cold swords above his head, stepped forward in two steps, raised his hand and pulled out an ice-white long sword, and stabbed it into the old man's heart!
"You are invincible to ......" The old man saw his movements clearly and stepped back, but when he caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Ye Yan's mouth, he suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he imagined!
"An aid without control is not a good support, is it?" Ye Yan raised his eyebrows back.
"It's not a wise move to have someone who majoring in 'Attacker' be an assistant, right?" Song Buyu's hand pulled out a few transparent hard wires at some point, and a little sweat had already appeared on his forehead. "Matching Control Law: Lotus Root Connection."
The old man's hands and feet were bound by the tenacious divine power of lotus silk, and although he only hesitated for a moment, he was doomed. "Poof", the ice sword penetrated through the old man's body, penetrating from the front chest to the back of the heart, at that moment, the old man's body felt the passing of life for the first time, the old man's eyes widened suddenly, he ignored that the ice sword was not made of Ye Yan's yin and yang two qi, but a powerful single attack method!
"Changhong runs through the sun...... Hmph, I like another common name, called: a pillar of optimus. Ye Yan let go, and the old man fell back with his mouth half open, and his pale hand grabbed desperately a few times in the air. He turned around and half-jokingly ridiculed Song Buyu and said: "How can you be so motherly in the law of your little world, it is either a lotus flower or a lotus root, and at first glance, it is cultivated by a twenty-eight woman." β
Song Buyu only has a wry smile now, it's not that he doesn't want to fight back, but that control and defense have consumed half of his strength, plus it is a leapfrog battle, which makes his yin and yang qi not run smoothly.
"Can't stand up after two hits?" Ye Yan walked up to him, put his arm on his shoulder, and helped him to his feet. "It's a step back."
Song Buyu was next to Ye Yan, feeling the cold seeping into his bones, he couldn't help but shiver, "It's so cold, Brother Yan." β
"I still feel hot."
Song Buyu's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. Ye Yan also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly helped him sit down on the ground. "What's wrong? If it only consumes a little divine power, it won't be like this. β
Suddenly, his gaze became solemn, and he looked up at the place where the old man had fallen, and he saw that pale red blood was slowly flowing down the steps.
"Melt ......," he muttered to himself, "my ice is ...... Melted. β
Song Buyu gritted his teeth and raised his head, he could feel that in the depths of that hall, there was a blazing fire, and he walked out step by step.
"Fire ......" he struggled to his feet, and the yin and yang qi in his body began to become chaotic. Suppress my companions...... It wasn't a dead thing of the fire attribute...... It's a living thing! β
Ye Yan narrowed his eyes, he first felt a heat wave rushing towards him, like the sun in the hottest time of summer, which made him breathe, and secondly, he felt the dazzling light like the sun, inch by inch, like the sun rising, poking his head out of the house.
"Spirit Beast ......" Ye Ran's palms began to sweat, it was not because of fear, it was simply because of the heat, Ye Que felt like there were coals burning in his throat, black smoke gradually dispersed from his seven orifices, and he began to sweat, but before the sweat could come out, it was evaporated by the heat wave, taking away the precious water in his body.
They saw the beast's eyes, as bright as crystal in the black night, and it glared at them, and that human look made it seem that they were not facing a fighting beast, but a living person. Suddenly, its body straightened up, and it stood up to a height of three meters, looking down at two small humans.
"Brother Yan, what is this beast...... The innate fire attribute is not comparable to the companion creatures of humans, so it should be treated with care. Song Buyu gritted his teeth and whispered.
Ye Yan wiped a handful of hot, dry foreheads and cleared his dry throat. "I call him fire and water, but he's just a longer reptile, and the thing I hate the most in my life is a snake."
The snake-like fighting beast spat out the letter, as if it understood their words, and began to wagging its tail restlessly, "Bang la", "Bang la", like the sound of a stream flowing down the mountain, and Ye Yan glanced at it.
"Such a swaggering guy, I'm afraid it's poisonous, right?"
With a "hiss", the big snake opened its mouth and pounced, its sharp teeth carrying green venom, staining the wind with a bitter fishy smell. Ye Yan's eyes were quick, and he pushed Song Buyu away, and then he didn't retreat but advanced, and rushed to the fire snake in one step!
"Bone Worm!" The group attack method was decided, Song Buyu faintly saw that this should be the unnamed sect's peerless learning, Ye Yan was driven out of the unnamed sect, and he never used the law decided in it, and now he made a move, which shows that he really has no way out!
"Cut, is there no flaw." The black mist attached to the body of the fire snake, was shaken by its body, and was roasted clean with flames, and the group attack method is generally used to harvest the weak, or to test the weakness of the opponent, if this black mist does not penetrate the body of the fire snake, it means that under the hard scales, it can be said that there is no hole.
"It's good to be a spirit beast, with your innate advantage, you can crush a human cultivator at will," Ye Yan shuttled around the fire snake, but because the speed of the snake was already one step faster, even if it was of the same level, Ye Yan couldn't get close to it. "But aren't more spirit beasts, like this, becoming companions of humans?"
Hearing this, the fire snake was enraged, its black crystal eyes widened, and it let out a short "hiss" sound, and it attacked violently, biting down, tearing off a corner of Ye Yan's sleeve. Ye Yan's body flew to one side, brushing against the slender and smelly fangs, his heart jumped a few times, and suddenly his eyebrows pressed, and he laughed out loud.
"Have you seen my companion?" Song Buyu saw that although he had his back to him, he was not asking the wide-eyed fire snake in front of him.
"The fish?"
"It's a whale," Ye Yan half-squinted his eyes and corrected very dissatisfied. "Whales are mammals, and I don't know how much higher the IQ of the 'fish' in your mouth is."
"Mammals?" Song Buyu laughed, slowly adjusting the operation of yin and yang. "Have you ever seen it 'breastfeeding'?"
Ye Yan flashed the blow of the fire snake, turned his head sideways, and stared at him with a smile that seemed to be not a smile. "Are you playing tricks on me?"
Song Buyu laughed out loud, and two drops of sweat fell on his forehead. "Don't dare, in this regard, Brother Yan is my master."
Ye Yan also smiled, his face reflected the firelight, making people feel that peach blossoms bloomed on his pale face. "Do you remember the trick I taught you?"
"Don't dare to forget."
"Then come over here and help me."
After Ye Yan fought with the fire snake, he instantly retreated, and fell to Song Buyu's side, Song Buyu stood in his shadow barely supporting his body, and there was sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Your body is ......"
"It doesn't matter." Song Buyu raised his face and smiled at him, if Yun Fei saw that kind of expression, his jaw would inevitably drop, it may be that Song Bugong, as a younger brother, had never seen his brother with such an expression, that kind of innocent and flawless child-like smile made Ye Yan's heart soften in an instant.
When I first met him five years ago, I was almost begging along the street, Song Buyu was just a wild child who had just entered the Great Sect, he once ran back from the Qingyun Sect in a hurry, and angrily locked himself in the room and saw no one, and then Ye Yan broke into the door, he hugged him, crying and saying to him, he never wanted to go to any Great Sect again, the people in there were too bad, too bad, he was going to suspend his studies...... Ye Yan gave him a slap on the spot, and he raised his head like this, aggrieved and naΓ―ve, looking at him with tears like a child.
But then, how did the two of them go further and further? Ye Yan's eyes reflected the swaying firelight, but his thoughts drifted to a thousand days ago, and he suddenly felt that this memory was really strange, how could it be like yesterday all of a sudden?
"What's wrong, Brother Yan?"
"Not much," Ye Yan chuckled and shook his head. Song Buyu put his hand on his shoulder from behind, and the hot divine power flowed into Ye Yan's body in a steady stream.
"Hmm......" Ye Yan groaned softly, Song Buyu's cultivation was similar to him, but because he was accompanied by dead things, and he was accompanied by living things, he was inherently superior to him. But Song Buyu is not an idle person, his companion is not only the fire spirit vein, but also the peerless fire spirit vein in the thunder pool that was produced thousands of years ago, its temperature is much higher than that of other flames.
"Can you hold it?"
"You're getting stronger." On Ye Yan's thin chin, sweat rolled down in big drops, but before he could hit the ground, it evaporated into water vapor.
Song Buyu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his thin lips, "Is it ......?"
His voice was so slight that it seemed to be just an inconspicuous "crackle" in the flames.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
Ye Yan's body leaned and staggered forward a few steps, as usual, what he didn't like the most was the high temperature, and the most disgusting thing was the flame, but after getting along with Song Buyu for a long time, he also began to study the flame, and he found that if the flame did not come into contact with his cold yin and yang qi when it entered his body, but just swept lightly on the meridians, a strange phenomenon would occur: his yin and yang qi would melt and evaporate like ice, and if the temperature of the flame was high enough, his yin and yang qi would be directly sublimated. And the result of sublimation is that it will take away the heat in the body, causing extreme low temperatures in the meridians!
And his advantage is that the colder he is, the higher the peak of cultivation!
At that time, facing Ye Yan, even the giant snake that controlled the innate flame was stunned, and from the two black crystal-like eyes, it saw that the weak and pale young man in front of him was bursting with cold breath, and the temperature of his entire body dropped rapidly, so that the flames around him were difficult to burn. He took a step forward, and the place under his feet was full of frost flowers, and the vapor in the air quickly condensed, gargling and falling.
At that moment, it even felt as if the snow had just stopped was falling again.
The fire snake felt panicked, it took advantage of its speed, and spit a mouthful of poisonous flames into Ye Yan's face, but it soon found that its poison and flames did not work, starting from Ye Yan's eyes, the whole face was covered with a thin layer of ice, the temperature of the ice was extremely low, and it was extremely tough, the flames could not burn on it, and the venom could not invade it!
"Long worm, become the wealth of my mercenary group." Ye Yan gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, bursts of white gas came out of his mouth, his face was as pale as snow, and his lips were extremely bright red. He grabbed the tail of the fire snake, and the tip of the tail that could make a clear water sound immediately "snapped" and shattered! The fiery snake began to twitch wildly, struggling to run, and the onset of panic was more deadly than the pain of its broken tail.
"Friend, do you eat whales?" Ye Yan laughed hoarsely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Bang!"
After a loud bang that shook the world, it was as if the whole world was silent.
Song Buyu looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, his divine power was consumed, and his entire body seemed to fall into the ice cave due to the consumption of divine power. "If it's on the Northern Ice Ocean...... his throat moved, feeling the stagnation of lack of water, "such a companion creature, a companion method, I'm afraid that even a strong person through the sky will have to bend his knees and be punished, right?" β
Yun Fei was still boringly playing dice with others, and when he heard the loud noise, he immediately raised his head, and the aftermath of the impact swept over his body, carrying ice crystals and cold wind, blowing his face with pins and needles. He turned his head and saw that Ye Weiyang was also looking up at the Li family's courtyard.
"The Captain's Companion...... What is it? Yun Fei asked in a low voice.
"The ice whale that was born in the northern ice ocean, my brother gave it a name: Kun." Ye Weiyang glanced at him seriously and continued. "Because living creatures are accompanied, and therefore those who are associated with living and living creatures, they can produce a skill similar to that of the law - the companion method, but its strength can be imagined, it can simply be called: cheating. He once said that the half-life method was attacked by the Lord. The continent is not suitable for the survival of people like my brother, his destination is the Ice Ocean, if he is there, he can reach the true peak of cultivation, on the sea of the Ice Ocean, this half of his life method is enough to kill a strong man who reaches the peak of the sky with one blow. β
Yun Fei looked at his face in the night and under the moon, and suddenly felt his selfishness and stinginess, the Ye brothers had never regarded him as an outsider, but he was on guard against Ye Yan, and he probed Ye Weiyang in an interview, thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was still vigilant and narrow-minded as a woman, and he couldn't help but worry about it.
"I ......" he cleared his throat, trying to make himself appear less empty-hearted, "my companion, heh, I said that I am afraid that you will not believe it, it is a Ganoderma lucidum, but it is jade, like a jade spirit vein with exquisite carving, I call it: Jade Lingzhi, and my half-life, cough, is a drop of blood, well, a drop of bright red blood, I call it: Chishui Break." β
Ye Weiyang stared at him by moonlight, and shook his head for a while. "You don't have to 'swap' your own things."
Yun Fei raised his chin and looked at him with a straight face, at that time, Ye Weiyang even felt that that kind of inviolable expression seemed to be thousands of miles away, and he was in a trance beside people. "My second brother once told me that if you are a buddy, you should be honest, honest, and see each other."
This time, Ye Weiyang actually laughed, he bent over, and asked with a smile, "Where did your second brother tell you?" In the tub? β
Yun Fei frowned suspiciously, and then his eyes widened suddenly! He suddenly remembered that when the second brother Luo Qingqiu said this, he was about to sneak out to play at the invitation of Li Chonghu, preparing to take a shower and change into men's clothes...... At that time, in the pale and bright moonlight, Yun Fei's face turned red all of a sudden, from his cheekbones to the root of his ears, and he was eager to argue, but when he opened his mouth, tears almost flowed down with anger.
Brother Qiu...... You're completely ruining your own personality!
