Chapter 58: The Waning Moon

When.

Diling's graduation ceremony officially opened,

As the best graduates of this year, thirty-five people were arranged to stand at the forefront of the team, among the thirty-five people, the most eye-catching is a pair of 15-year-old triplet brothers, the names of the three are Jinyu, Jinyuan and Jinhao, and the cultivation of the three is also a ninth-level Yuan Ling.

Xingluo stood beside Yu Fei and watched the pair of triplet brothers, whether in terms of temperament or appearance, the three of them almost all felt the same, with long black hair, fair faces, thick eyebrows, and obsidian-like eyes, all showing their elegance and charm to outsiders.

In addition, there is another person who also attracts Xingluo's interest, his name is Wanyue, 14 years old, cultivated to the tenth level of Yuan Ling, he is the highest cultivator among the thirty-five people, two years ago he came to Emperor Yan with his mother from Shuiye, and was sent to Di Ling Academy by his mother halfway.

Xin Yi stood on the steps of Lanqin Hall and said his graduation message impassionedly, but Wanyue didn't seem to listen to a word, and the scene when he left from Shuiye two years ago was constantly flashing in front of his eyes.

……

In the dead of night, a group of masked men with swords surrounded the wooden house where the Wanyue family lived.

"Xiaoyue, take your mother first, leave me alone!" Father Wanyue yelled.

This was the ninth time that the family had been hunted down, and no matter where they fled, they would always be found by the enemy.

"No, Dad, I'm not leaving, what are you going to do if I'm gone!" Twelve-year-old Wanyue shouted.

"Xiaoyue, the person they want to arrest is your mother, you remember, you are a man in the family, your father is gone, you have to learn to protect your mother."

"The person they want to arrest is me, I should stay! It's all my fault for not being good, even bothering your father and son! Mother Wanyue cried.

"What stupid things to say! We are a family, what do we say if we don't have to deal with it!! Father Wanyue exclaimed.

The people outside the door had already begun to break down the door, and the father of the waning moon didn't think much about it, and opened the back door and pushed his wife and children out: "Xiaoyue, take your mother and run forward, you will be safe after entering the forest, remember, don't look back!" ”

"Daddy—"

"Obedient! Come on!! ”

Wanyue took his mother to the Black Forest five miles away, the night was very deep, and the road was very slippery, but he did not dare to stop for a moment, and the screams and fights continued to be heard from the wooden house behind him.

The mother and son hid in the forest for five days, hungry and afraid, when it was the coldest time of winter, and the mother of the waning moon froze her feet in the forest.

On the sixth day, they returned to the hut, only to find that the entire hut had been bulldozed, and the body of the remnant moon's father had been poked beyond recognition by the masked man.

After that day, there was no smile on Wanyue's face.

Half a month later, the two came to the emperor from the water night, and the mother of the waning moon leaned on the side of the road in Wangcheng to set up a food stall to support herself and the waning moon, in order to avoid her son from being attacked again, she decided to send the wanyue to Diling Academy, and after begging for the letter many times, the letter finally agreed to take the wanyue free of tuition.

……

Xingluo's attention was all focused on Wanyue, and the picture flashing in his mind was appearing in front of Xingluo at this moment, if he hadn't read his memory, Xingluo would never have thought that such a tragic thing would be found in this 14-year-old boy.

At the age of 12, he was still a fifth-level child spirit, but at the age of 14, he had already broken through the tenth-level Yuan Spirit.

After a stick of incense, Xin Yi finally finished his graduation message, and then Shi Xue personally awarded the graduation bracelets to the thirty-five students, Xin Yi took out the bracelets that had been prepared and came to Shi Xue's back, according to the regulations, the thirty-five students will come forward to receive the graduation bracelets in order from the lowest to the highest.

Xingluo's gaze still did not leave Wanyue, after the first thirty-four students got their respective bracelets, Xingluo suddenly walked out of the crowd, and he and Wanyue walked in front of Shixue almost at the same time.

"Uncle, can you give me this last bracelet?" Xingluo Dao.

"Absolutely." Shixue smiled.

Xingluo nodded slightly, and then took the last bracelet from Xin Yi's hand.

Wanyue stared at the front without speaking, for him, no matter who gave him the bracelet, it was the same, he only knew that all his cultivation and efforts were to protect his mother.

Xingluo came to Wanyue's side, and he didn't rush to hand him the bracelet, but circled around him.

"Can you tell me who those people are who are chasing you?" Xingluo suddenly leaned closer to Wanyue and asked in a deep voice.

Wanyue's breathing paused, it was the first time he had been asked this question in the two years he had been at Diling Academy.

"Who are you? Why did you know this? Wanyue asked in a cold voice.

"I'm a little surprised by the speed at which your cultivation has improved, so I need to know what happened to you before I make a decision."

"Decide? What was decided? Wanyue glanced at Xingluo and asked.

Xingluo didn't answer Wanyue's question directly, but continued to ask about the identity of the group of masked people.

"You don't have to ask me, I don't know anything." Wanyue said coldly, he didn't like to communicate with people in the first place, especially with someone he had never met.

"You really don't want to tell me?"

"You and I don't know each other, what is there to say." Wanyue turned her head and said.

"Did you come to Diling Academy to cultivate or to avoid the pursuit of the enemy?"

"What am I doing here, what do you have to do with you?"

"If you don't want me to ask, you can say it yourself."

"Don't push me anymore, I don't know anything!!" Wanyue shouted.

"Wanyue ......" Wuge stepped forward, and before he could speak, Xingluo turned around and shouted at him: "Wuge, delete this person from the list of Jialan's assessment disciples for me!" ”

"Senior brother......" Wuge was a little blindsided.

"Why did you remove me from the roster!" Wanyue suddenly roared, he was desperately trying to improve his cultivation in order to have enough ability to protect his mother, but at this moment, he heard the news that Xingluo was going to remove him.

"I've seen that you're not pleasing to the eye, who are you looking at with a cold and upright look?" Xingluo said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Ge was even more confused, and he was about to speak for Wanyue, when Xin Yi suddenly grabbed him from behind, "Don't you go over, didn't you find that Xiao Luo was deliberately provoking him?" ”

"Deliberately provoked?" Wu Ge was stunned.

Xin Yi leaned close to Wu Ge's ear and smiled: "He didn't come over the thirty-four people in front of him, but when it was the turn of the waning moon, he came, if I guessed correctly, Xiao Luo probably already took a fancy to him." ”

At this time, an uncontrollable anger flashed in Wanyue's indifferent eyes: "Who are you?" Who are you to decide whether or not to stay? ”

Xingluo smiled disapprecitately: "My name is Feihuake, just like you, I am also a graduate of Diling Academy this year, and Shixue Wang is my uncle, so of course I am qualified to decide whether you go or stay!" ”

"You're just a bully!" Wanyue glared angrily.

"Even if it is, what can you do to me?" Xingluo laughed playfully.

Wanyue's face burst into green tendons: "I can't imagine that the dignified Diling Academy is so unbearable, I don't want such a graduation bracelet!" ”

"If you don't, you can go now." Xingluo said unhurriedly.

Wanyue frowned tightly and walked out without looking back.

Wuge couldn't help but run forward and shouted, "Senior brother, did you really let him go like this?" ”

Xingluo didn't speak, seeing that Wanyue was about to leave Lanqin Hall, more than a hundred masked killers with swords suddenly fell from the sky, surrounding all thirty-five graduates, including Wanyue.

Wu Ge's heart tightened, and he was about to draw his sword, but he only heard Xingluo faintly spit out two words: "Assessment!" ”

In the face of the sudden masked killer, thirty-five people were killed by surprise, except for a few who drew their swords in time to defend themselves, most of them showed shocked expressions on their faces, and almost at the same time, a barrier appeared around the hundreds of imperial teachers and students in the audience.

"Wanyue, it turns out that you have been hiding in Diling Academy for the past two years, hum, this time you have no one to protect you, except for you, none of the people present can escape." A killer shouted.

Wanyue had already drawn his sword, and among all of them, he was the first to enter the state: "Your target is me, let the others go!" ”

"Hmph, that's up to you." The other party snorted coldly, and he raised his sword and quickly stabbed at Wanyue's chest.

Wanyue flashed sideways, grabbed the opponent's wrist with his left hand, and roared, and the opponent was instantly spun in the air by him, knocking down the four killers behind him.

At the other end, the three Jinyu brothers also started a counterattack, and the three of them made all their moves, and soon knocked down all the killers around them.

Xingluo stood on the steps and quietly watched everyone's performance, his calmness far beyond his age, even the letter and Shi Xue beside him were ashamed of themselves.

Rong Yu was originally standing with the other two partners, but the oncoming killers quickly broke them up, Rong Yu could barely cope with it with his seventh-level Yuan Spiritual Cultivation, but Light Ming was much worse, his swordsmanship was clumsy like a layman, and in less than twenty rounds, he was forced back to a dead end by a sixth-level Yuan Spiritual Cultivator.

There was no way to retreat in the rear, and just as Qingming was about to fight back, Si Cheng's voice came from the front: "Fatty, I'll save you." ”

Hearing the voice, the killer in front of Qingming turned around and slashed at Si Cheng behind him, Si Cheng shouted, and set up his sword in front of him, "Fatty, take advantage of now!" ”

"It's coming!" Qing Ming raised his sword and took the opportunity to stab the other party from behind, and the assassin who was stabbed instantly fell to the ground and lost his combat effectiveness.

Not far away, the killers around the waning moon rushed up in waves, and wave after wave were repelled by the waning moon, only to see him leaning over and raising his sword, the sword pressed to the ground, and his body swirled backwards, and in an instant, all five or six killers around him were kicked down by him.

"You taught you all the swordsmanship of the waning moon?" Xingluo turned his head and asked Wu Ge.

Wu Ge nodded, "His comprehension ability is very strong, and all swordsmanship can be taught only once." ”

"In that case, then I'm going to have to embarrass him." Xingluo smiled lightly.

In the next round, Wanyue clearly felt that the cultivation of the killers who rushed up had improved, and not only that, but their speed was also twice as fast as just now.

Just when Wanyue was panting, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and when he looked back, a killer's sword was already close to his body, he hurriedly dodged the attack sideways, the other party pounced, swung his sword and stabbed at his longitudinal arm, as a burst of blood dissipated, Wanyue's arm left a deep blood mark, but he did not slack off at all, he knew that once he fell, he would never get up again.

"Senior brother, Wanyue is injured, and this kind of assessment seems to be beyond his ability." Wuge said nervously.

Xingluo just said "En" and didn't react in any way.

After another quarter of an hour or so, Wanyue felt a little discouraged, and the figure of his opponent began to blur in his vision.
