Chapter 229, Fate

It's late at night again.

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and even the monkey Xiao Ash who was beside him opened his eyes wide and looked at him with a wink, as for the other senior brothers, they were already snoring loudly, it was Rhubarb, and he was also lying on the ground and sleeping soundly at the moment.

The moonlight shone in through the window like water and sprinkled on the ground like frost and snow.

At the same moment, in Tian Buyi and Su Ru's room, there was a different scene.

Tian Ling'er, who suffered a catastrophe today, lost consciousness all of a sudden because of the influence of the Heavenly Demon Vision, so he didn't feel any crisis, even if Tian Yiyi asked carefully, he couldn't figure out anything - fortunately, nothing big happened in the end, and in the end, Tian Ling'er suddenly fainted, and it could only be solved like this.

However, Tian Ling'er was called here today, and the couple was not just for the daytime competition. It's just that... But it's hard to speak.

Tian Buyi, a five-foot-tall man, held back for a long time but didn't say half a word, fortunately, the dignified and beautiful Su Ru is a loving mother, and she is very close to her daughter on weekdays, so these words have to be said by her.

"Ling'er, do you know that you suddenly fainted and fell in the ring today, who was the first to save you?"

Tian Ling'er lost the competition, and she was not very happy in her heart, but after this question, she was a little unsure, so she just blinked

"Listening to Xiao Fan, it was the sword elder who made the move," she was stunned for a moment, but then shook her mother Su Ru's arm, "Mother, don't worry, tomorrow I will go to thank the sword elder first." ”

On weekdays, Tian Buyi and Su Ru are both people who are quite polite, so Ling'er mistakenly thought that her mother blamed her for not going to Mo Qianqian to thank her after waking up today...

Su Ru shook her head, still with that ambiguity on her face? Ambiguous smile

"The matter of the sword elder, naturally, I have to thank you, but other than that. You still have someone to thank. ”

“… Who is it? ”

Su Ru poked Tian Ling'er's nose

"You, you don't want to think about it, since it was Xiao Fan who sent you back from the sword elder, who else could it be who rushed up to catch you at that time?"

There was some ridicule in Su Ru's tone

"This stupid boy is also wooden, and he is ready to use his body to help you block the sword. If it weren't for the Sword Elder's action, I'm afraid..."

"Xiaofan is okay, right!?"

Tian Ling'er was shocked, but she was concerned about it - if Zhang Xiaofan had something, could she still not know?

Su Ru felt her daughter holding her palm hard, and the smile on her face became more clear.

"Hey, you stupid girl, if he had something to do, he could still bring you back alive just now? You, you really turned your elbow outward, why don't you ask how worried your mother was at that time. ”

Tian Ling'er, who is still a yellow flower girl, can stand this ridicule. The little face turned red all of a sudden. However, when she thought that Xiao Fan was fine, and it was mentioned that he was "carrying" him back, her usual cleverness also immediately went to Jiufen, and she was blushing and hanging her head, and suddenly like Zhang Xiaofan, she only knew Mu Ne's reply.

"It's... Yes, Mother, yes. It's my daughter, it's wrong..."

And Tian Ling'er's posture naturally fell into the eyes of Tian Buyi and his wife... Although the two of them who have practiced in Qingyun Immortal Cultivation since they were children are not veterans in the love field, they are at least a person who has come over. How can they not understand their daughter's childlike attitude now?

I'm afraid that the little girl has already secretly agreed to this nerd junior brother of hers. Today's incident is just a reason, so once I learned that it was Zhang Xiaofan who saved me, I was extremely happy... But the matter was brought up by the parents in person. Tian Ling'er is also embarrassed to be tight, under shyness, how can she be as smart as before?

At this time, Su Ru pulled up her daughter's hand that she had just let go of again, and looked at Tian Ling'er with a smile.

"Ling'er. You and Wei Niang to be honest, do you like Xiaofan? ”

"Mother! What are you talking about? ”

When her mind was broken, Tian Ling'er was immediately ashamed and hurriedly shook her head, but she hesitated halfway through, so she could only worry about herself.

Su Ru smiled, now, she naturally knew her daughter's thoughts better, but she still couldn't help but deliberately tease.

"Oh, is that so? Some time ago, Senior Sister Shuiyue also told me that Xiaozhufeng has a few of your junior sisters and sisters, all of whom have a little idea of Xiaofan, I think this child has a pure temperament, and his cultivation is good, he is a material that can be made, and he is ready to help him with the next family business, you see, your Xiaoqing Senior Sister..."

"Mother!!"

No matter how stupid Tian Ling'er is, she has already come back to her senses at this time, where can she not hear what her mother meant? Not to mention that Master Shuiyue and his father Tian Buyi are in the same situation, just Zhang Xiaofan's stupid appearance, where will other senior sisters take a fancy to him. When Su Ru said this, she was clearly testing her!

"Hah, you."

The first lady is naturally very good at grasping the depth of it, so she shook her head and said no more.

"But Ling'er, although your father and I also like Xiao Fan's child very much, it's just that you are still young, and there are some things that you still need to grasp by yourself, and we don't have to say more..."

"Okay, okay, mother, I know!"

Before she could play the words, Tian Ling'er ran out of the room as if she was running away, for her, these topics were too embarrassing.

Su Ru watched Tian Ling'er, who was dressed in red, rush out, and also secretly scolded the female princess, but soon showed a satisfied smile - Xiao Fan, this child was raised by him after all, and Su Ru was also very relieved about him.

But soon, after Tian Ling'er had completely disappeared from the sight of the two couples, Su Ru turned her head again and looked at her husband with a serious face.

"Okay, Ling'er's matter is over, you should also talk to me about Mo Qianqian's matter."

“…”

Tian Buyi was speechless, although he had long known that sooner or later he would not be able to hide it from his daughter-in-law, and the actions of the sword elder during the daytime competition were really suspicious, but he had to confess... This matter is not only related to the reputation of Dazhufeng, but also closely related to the rise and fall of Qingyun, so he can't be cautious.

"This matter... It was personally instructed by Senior Brother Daoxuan, and I can't say more..."In the end, Tian Buyi could only shake his head helplessly. However, he still took Su Ru's hand and finally explained two sentences.

"But don't worry, although this Mo Qianzhen's identity is indeed not pure. However, judging from the reaction during this time, it should be okay with Qingyun. ”

…

So, when Zhang Xiaofan didn't know at all, Tian Buyi and Su Ru acquiesced in the matter between him and Tian Ling'er, but at the same time, they also paid more attention to Mo Qianqing.

And the other side. Mo Qianqian, who saved Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er, was also in a dilemma at the moment...

He stood at the top of Nagato Tongtian Peak, overlooking the beautiful and ethereal sea of clouds, but in front of him was the shadow of a thousand years of events...

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bonfires, night breezes.

Deep in the deserted forest, only the crackling sound of firewood being roasted by the flames reminds that this is not just a world of dead things and loneliness.

Next to the campfire, a white-haired man in black sat cross-legged, his drooping eyelids blocking his vision, but he couldn't hide his restless heartbeat... It's been a long time since I've had such an unquiet night.

On his side. Xiaobai has fallen asleep, and on the little girl's face, the faintly visible tear stains make people feel distressed, but they are helpless - all the misfortunes, all the pain, all the torture they have experienced, as if it is a journey arranged by God a long time ago, and no one can escape.

Expiation...

Is it impossible to escape this cycle of suffering?

No! That's not true!

This thought had already been shattered by the Shadow as soon as it appeared... Just use the Excalibur in his hand!

… Airplanes!!

The ferocious ancient sword let out a heart-palpitating soft groan. Releasing the Shadow from his painful memories for a moment, he stood up. Protect Xiaobai behind you - the pursuers are coming!

Not the first, nor will it be the last, those who are chasing him are the obstacles that must be removed. For today's Liuying, the way back is long gone, and he has absolutely no reason to turn back!

One day at most. Wait until dawn tomorrow, when he arrives at Zhongmiaotian, he only needs a sword to cut off this long-cherished wish that has been entangled for hundreds of years, so no matter what happens now. None of them can stop him!

Horizontal sword!

What do you say to kill demons and demons, what to say to exorcise evil spirits, killing is killing, otherwise this is obviously the treasure of the fairy sword, why can he also exert such a terrifying power in his hands?

What kind of immortal weapon, treasure weapon, is just passively following the user's mood and intentions. Now, this sword has been stained with the blood of those so-called righteous paths more than once, but why is it still sharp?

The truth of this world is originally so cruel, only those who have the power are qualified to write history and right and wrong, for Liuying, after paying so much price, he has already held this strongest power in his hands, at this time, who can stop his way.

"Demons!"

In the shadow of the dense forest, the people and horses of Hanhai Book Mountain were the first to kill! Their eyes burned with hatred, and they all wanted to shatter the demons in front of them. And behind them, there was the bald donkey of the Ten Thousand Saints Rock, hidden by the awe-inspiring Dharma Treasure Light, and there were terrifying and angry faces!

… Ha, these hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality are not acting in accordance with the most basic and strict desire for revenge in the end? What a shame to kill! What a shame to kill!!

"Demons! You're here for your life! ”

Hundreds of dazzling rays of light shone together, and the monks who were blinded by hatred did not care about the siege with more against less, but instead exerted all their strength!

But, even with the power of hatred, they still miscalculated the gap between themselves and their opponents...

Liuying's eyes were cold, and the divine sword in his hand seemed to be boiling with crazy killing intent because of the stimulation of his murderous aura!

Chop!

"Ahh

The terrible screams became Zhu Xuanli for a while, those originally powerful treasure lights in the Zhuxian Ancient Sword were so powerless in front of the flowing shadow, and with a slight touch, they were thousands of miles away, and those who were still fierce at the beginning, and the so-called righteous path that was bent on slaying demons and demons could only let out some helpless cries, and then in an instant, even those voices were covered by even more piercing screams.

The sword is cold, and the sky is silent...

The fierce, terrifying sword tore apart all the light curtains, putting the whole world in the most terrifying place of death. And that terrifying ancient sword was held in the palm of Liuying's hand, along with his cold gaze. pointed in the direction of Zhong Miaotian.

…

"What's wrong with you?"

Mo Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then finally came back to his senses, I don't know when, the white-haired beauty had already leaned on his shoulder-he had forgotten that he had asked Xiaobai to come here today.

"Nothing... I just remembered something from the past. ”

"It's all in the past, so why should you think about it now."

"Maybe—" Flowing Shadow shook her head. If there was no Heavenly Magic Sound, I'm afraid he wouldn't think much about it, but now ......., "Xiaobai, do you know who else in this world will make the 'Heavenly Magic Sound'?" ”

“… Isn't that a recipe already there..."

Flowing Shadow nodded, but his voice grew heavier.

"That's right, the magic method has already been destroyed, but recently, on Tongtian Peak, there is a person who actually used this secret method..."

Xiaobai was startled, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes!

No one knows better than she what it means—what happened back then. It's not over yet!?

"Xiaobai, I want you to investigate this matter..."

"Well, don't worry."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After a night, the Seven Veins Martial Arts still had to proceed according to the original plan, and everyone seemed to quickly put the previous accident behind them, quietly waiting for the arrival of the final four battles...

Standing on a high place, the rising sun warmly sprinkled on Zhang Xiaofan's body, warming his body but unable to relieve his tension and embarrassment. He stood in the ring with a blank face. Facing Lu Xueqi, who was standing opposite him, who was as beautiful as a fairy.

The sharpness in the frost woman's eyes was so obvious, maybe it was because he suddenly intervened in the previous competition with Tian Ling'er. Or perhaps, it's the "demonic energy" that has been lingering in him before... Among the top four of the Seven Veins Martial Arts this time, I am afraid that only Zhang Xiaofan has the most incomprehensible background and hides the most elusive secrets. As Xiaofan's opponent, Lu Xueqi undoubtedly has enough reasons to pay attention to his opponent today.

In her arms, Tianya emitted a faint blue light. Zhang Xiaofan looked at this legendary artifact. I thought faintly: After a while, will I face it? He couldn't help but shudder, although according to someone, if he had worked hard in his previous cultivation, he would not be afraid of such a divine weapon. But when it came to the end, Xiao Fan was still not at ease... Coupled with the fact that his opponent didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go today, it made him even more nervous.

And then... Then he forgot about it in a moment!

Since Tian Ling'er told him to "take revenge" for himself yesterday, his spirit has been up and down in a trance.

Above the sea of clouds, there are only two big rings left at this moment, but in terms of the number of Qingyun disciples who are onlookers, the number of people who watch the competition between Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu in the west is only less than thirty percent here, and almost all of them are attracted by Lu Xueqi, who is the most powerful in the limelight, and Zhang Xiaofan, who is the most mysterious, and among the elders, the vast majority of people, including the head Dao Xuan Zhenren, are also sitting under this ring.

It's just that when everyone saw Lu Xueqi in the ring, after a burst of cheers in the crowd, most of them were discussing whether Zhang Xiaofan would be defeated in a breath or in an instant... It seems that in the eyes of the vast majority of people, although Xiao Fan is mysterious, whether it is strength or appearance, it is obviously not comparable to Lu Xueqi at all.

Offstage, Tian Buyi frowned, he knew Zhang Xiaofan's roots quite clearly, in the competition two days ago, his disciple was also quite extraordinary, so hearing the contemptuous comments of the people behind him naturally made him very uncomfortable. And Su Ru, who was sitting next to him, was looking around looking for her daughter, a few words of advice last night, so that her daughter slipped away, and she disappeared early this morning, thinking that she knew her daughter as a mother, I was afraid that this daughter was hiding in a place where they could not easily find it...

She shook her head, although she loved her only daughter very much, she didn't expect Ling'er to be so awkward. Moreover, Su Ru was also worried about the problem of the sword elder... Mo Qianqian's details were not revealed to her or Pan in the end last night, but she was sure that there would be no danger, which made her even more uneasy as a mother... On weekdays, the disciples of Da Zhu Peak, including Tian Ling'er, were very familiar with this sword-wielding elder, and sometimes they were even a little too big or small. Originally, she didn't know about this stubble, but now that she knows, how can she rest assured?

She turned her head. looked at the stage, and at the same time, Zhang Xiaofan on the stage was also looking over with a nervous face, their eyes met in the air, and after a while, Zhang Xiaofan looked at her side. As if he hadn't found the person he was looking for, he silently closed his gaze back.

Su Ru frowned slightly, and said to Tian Buyi: "Xiaofan, this kid seems to be extremely nervous today, something is not right." ”

Tian Buyi said lightly: "He's just nervous, it's not surprising that the child hasn't seen the world." ”

Su Ru fell silent and did not speak again.

Zhang Xiaofan retracted his gaze and fell on Lu Xueqi's face opposite, the face that was beautiful in the rising sun. Radiant, soon, Lu Xueqi felt Zhang Xiaofan's gaze, and the sharpness of her eyes made people even more afraid.

But this time, Zhang Xiaofan didn't dodge it anymore, he took a sharp breath and forced his mind to look at today's opponent in front of him... He has heard Lu Xueqi's name countless times in the past few days, and now he has the entrustment of his senior sister. On the contrary, I was a little nervous and over-exerted, but I became numb.

Ha? What is there for him to be nervous about?

It's just a competition. Even if he loses, at least he has to do his best, and when the time comes, neither the senior sister nor the master will blame himself - as soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xiaofan held the burning stick in his hand, and unconsciously the momentum rebounded from the bottom by a few points!

"Dang!"

The bells and tripods rang in unison, echoing on Tongtian Peak. There was a quick silence in all directions.

Lu Xueqi straightened up. Take a deep breath, as long as you win two more games, just two, you can achieve your dreams and the expectations of your mentor. She sacrificed Tianya, and the blue light gradually brightened.

"Little Bamboo Peak disciple Lu Xueqi. Please advise. ”

Zhang Xiaofan's first reaction was not to return the salute, but to look at the audience with great expectation - this was just his subconscious, when he really wanted to fight, Xiao Fan, who was a little cowardly, wanted to find the figure in red, but in the end he didn't find anything... The audience was sensational, and everyone was watching, but there was no figure of the person they wanted to see.

Lu Xueqi's face changed, and the Qingyun disciples in the audience were also in an uproar, this was the first person to be so rude to Lu Xueqi, Tian Buyi glanced at Su Ru, and at the same time realized that there was really something wrong with this little apprentice today.

Zhang Xiaofan turned his head slowly, and then finally realized something, wanted to apologize, and realized that it was not the right time, just at this time, he caught a glimpse of a group of Mo Qianqian who were standing with his hands in his hands, and he had to clear his throat and said lightly: "I am Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhufeng, please don't ask my subordinates to be merciful." ”

Lu Xueqi was stunned, although what she said before the competition was just polite words, but this Zhang Xiaofan looked very strange, where would anyone say anything merciless, it sounded like sarcasm, but it didn't look like him.

But Lu Xueqi is a proud disciple of Master Shuiyue after all, her heart is firm, the expression on her face does not change at all, and she doesn't say anything more, her right hand compares, and the "Tianya" behind her slowly rises.

Zhang Xiaofan watched the blue light get deeper and deeper, bigger and bigger, and it was blue on his body, but he couldn't find a little nervousness, but in the depths of his heart, he was faintly looking forward to something.

He pulled out the black, ugly burning stick.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, compared with the majestic and noble fairy "Tianya" opposite, the burning stick was like an ugly insect on the ground.

The cold feeling filled the whole body again, and for some reason, today's burning stick seemed to be as spiritually excited, and the cold feeling swam much faster than before. Zhang Xiaofan even felt that if he hadn't felt connected with this burning stick, if he hadn't held this burning stick, he was afraid that it would have rushed towards Lu Xueqi a long time ago.

No, it should not be towards Lu Xueqi, but towards Tianya, that inexplicable feeling is like two enemies with deep hatred.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi's face suddenly changed, Tianya's light was too strong, it seemed that she herself was a little strange.

But Zhang Xiaofan didn't have the meaning to think deeply, he looked at the beautiful woman in the blue light, and suddenly found that she looked like a senior sister, but the "senior sister" looked at him coldly with a cold gaze.

In the ring, something unexpected happened, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi didn't make a move, just stared at each other, motionless.

There was an uproar and a lot of discussions.

Lu Xueqi woke up suddenly, Tianya, who had always been spiritually connected with her just now, suddenly had a strange movement that she had never had in the past, which made her feel strange in her heart, but when she looked at Tianya with her mental power, there was nothing unusual, but it seemed that Tianya faintly had a feeling of eagerness to try.

Feeling the countless strange eyes from the audience, Lu Xueqi frowned, fixed her mind, snorted coldly, and expelled all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts from her mind.

Since the beginning of the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition, Tianya has become the focus of everyone's attention, but until now, Lu Xueqi has defeated all the opponents one by one without being unsheathed, which also makes everyone speculate who can make her draw the divine sword, at this time, everyone guesses that it must be until the final battle, with the cultivation of Qi Hao of the Dragon Head Peak, in order to do this.

The blue light was reflected on Zhang Xiaofan's face, but he couldn't show any expression, and the black burning stick emitted a faint blue light, which slowly left his palm and stopped in front of him.

Although he had already taken this burning stick to see it, the people on Dazhu Peak, including most of the onlookers, had seen Zhang Xiaofan cast a spell for the first time. Du Bishu snorted and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that the little junior brother who was stupid two years ago suddenly turned into a natural genius." ”

On the stage, Lu Xueqi's face was solemn, and the magic trick was clenched like a mountain, only to see Tianya, who was radiant in mid-air, suddenly turned around, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards Zhang Xiaofan with the momentum of opening mountains and cutting the sea.
