Chapter 10: God's Favorite
When Lin Yunshang returned to Zhongrong Kingdom, Su Jingzhi's bad luck also came.
The first thing the demon princess did after returning home was to put Su Jingzhi on death row, accused of Su Jingzhi failing to fulfill his duties and letting Song Wuji break into the Horse Mansion and take away the prince of the demon clan.
Everyone knows that Su Jingzhi is wronged, but Lin Yunsheng's temperament has changed greatly after he comes back this time, and he often punishes people for no reason, so no one dares to intercede for Su Jingzhi at this juncture.
After Su Jingzhi was put on death row, he was tortured, and Lin Yunshang was even more ruthless to shatter the meridians of his whole body and deprive him of his lifelong cultivation.
Xu Chen shuddered when he heard this, and he sighed and said, "The female devil surnamed Lin is too cruel, how can she treat you like this!"
Su Jingzhi said with a desolate expression: "If it weren't for a jailer who had a good relationship with me and secretly let me out on a snowy night, I would have died in prison a long time ago." ”
Xu Chen was stunned, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What happened to the jailer who rescued you?"
"What else, do you think Lin Yunshang will show mercy and let him go?" Su Jingzhi's face changed again, he turned his head to Hu Yukun and said: "I hid outside for a few months to recuperate my injuries, and then quietly sneaked into Zhongrong Kingdom to repay this benefactor, but I found that Lin Yunshang had already killed him and his wife, leaving only an orphan about three years old to be taken care of by his grandmother. ”
When Hu Yukun heard this, his body trembled, and he seemed to remember some fragmented past.
Su Jingzhi said: "But this old man is no longer able to take care of her grandson, and when I arrived at their house, she was lying on the bed and dying, and before she died, she asked me to raise this child who had lost both parents to adulthood......
"Master!" Hu Yukun shouted, tears rolling down his face. "I ...... Am I that kid?"
"Yes. Su Jingzhi lowered his head weakly, and said sadly: "I wanted to hide it from you until the day you avenge your hatred and tell you, but today I really can't help it......"
"Lin Yunshang, I must break your body into thousands of pieces to sacrifice the souls of your parents in the sky!" Hu Yukun looked up to the sky and howled, his voice was like crying and complaining, and everyone who heard it was moved.
Xu Chen was speechless, he thought that what happened to him was already miserable enough, but he didn't expect that Su Jingzhi's master and apprentice were also so miserable.
Suddenly, Xu Chen's heart felt sour, and his eyes moistened, he finally understood Su Jingzhi's mood of wanting to get the Xuanwu Shield urgently, no matter who he was, if he didn't want to take revenge after experiencing such a tragic event, then what was the point of him living, it was just an empty shell of a walking corpse.
For a moment, Xu Chen really wanted to agree to the request of the master and apprentice, but he finally held back. Because the Xuanwu Shield was an artifact of Chongwu Mountain, as a disciple of the Divine Clan under it, Xu Chen had the responsibility to retrieve it and return it to the Divine Mountain, rather than hand it over to others.
A cold wind blew, and Xu Chen's heart was cold, and he suddenly found that Wang Shen's body sitting next to him was stiff, as if he was indifferent to this matter, but his eyes kept flashing.
Xu Chen was surprised, and hurriedly pushed him gently with his hand, signaling Wang Shen not to get distracted.
Wang Shen's body trembled violently as if he was frightened, and it took a long time to control his emotions, and he sighed and said, "It's not wrong for you to seek revenge on Lin Yunshang and Song Wuji. ”
Su Jingzhi said: "So Brother Wang Xian is willing to help Brother Yu and tell the whereabouts of Xuanwu Dun?"
Wang Shen let out another long sigh and replied, "I really want to help you, but I have to tell you honestly, in fact, I don't have any clues about the Xuanwu Shield at all. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately furious, if it wasn't for Su Jingzhi to stop Hu Yukun, I am afraid that Wang Shen would have been killed by him on the spot.
"Your joke is a bit too big, isn't it?" Su Jingzhi sneered, thinking that Wang Shen refused to confide the truth.
"You're so pitiful, how can I bear to lie to you. Actually, this kid and I don't have a master-apprentice relationship at all, it's just a temporary patchwork of companions halfway. ”
As soon as the words were finished, Wang Shen regretted it in his heart, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it back after the words came out of his mouth.
"Then why do you have the fragment of the Xuanwu Shield in your hands? This is definitely not a fake!" Su Jingzhi shouted sharply, and a fierce light was already flashing in his eyes.
"Uncle Su......" Xu Chen only said a few words, Wang Shen interrupted his words, and preemptively said: "The fragment was inadvertently picked up by this kid after the battle with the demon Lin Yue'er of Jiuyao in Ao Shou Mountain, if you didn't tell its origin today, we wouldn't know what it was." ”
"What you said is true?" Su Jingzhi suddenly felt that he had been fooled, and his head turned to Xu Chen suddenly, his eyes blood-red as if he was about to eat people.
Xu Chen's eyes dodged, but after all, he told the truth: "Uncle, I, I...... What Uncle Wang said is true, I'm sorry, we lied to you. ”
"Very good, very good!" Su Jingzhi sneered, and his thin palm suddenly slapped the back of the chair.
Hu Yukun has lived with his master for nearly twenty years, how could he not know the meaning of the implication in his action, just heard him roar, his body rushed straight towards Wang Shen, and hit the opponent's head with a punch!
He had long seen that this old guy was unpleasant, and this time he was not polite at all, and vowed to kill Wang Shen with one punch!
Suddenly, the blue light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and a sharp sword qi burst out from Xu Chen's hand, attacking Hu Yukun's body who was rushing wildly.
No matter what kind of danger Wang Shen dragged himself into, Xu Chen couldn't see death without help, not to mention that Master Pure Space had been looking for this junior disciple of his, before Wang Shen met with the master, Xu Chen couldn't let this old snitch have any strengths and weaknesses.
Therefore, this sword of true qi condensation contains almost all of his true qi, Hu Yukun's power he has seen, Xu Chen does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, although he does not seek to force him back with one move, but also hopes that Wang Shen can take this opportunity to escape.
Hu Yukun saw Xu Chen's move to block, and grabbed his hand with his volley move, and his five fingers were full of true energy, and he grabbed this water-blue sword that could be torn apart even by air.
He shot extremely fast, Xu Chen could hardly see his movements, and when he came to his senses, the true qi between Hu Yukun's five fingers, like a golden air current, made a strange "creaking" sound, instantly destroying the sword in front of him.
The flying sword burst open, scattering like colorful fireworks, and the air flow between the two fluctuated wildly, and Xu Chen's skin scraped like a blade was faintly painful, which made him realize once again that Hu Yukun's spell cultivation was many times beyond his own.
Xu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could stand up, he heard Wang Shen shouting: "Don't be in a daze, run!"
His hand grabbed Xu Chen's shoulder violently, and he grabbed him like lightning and flew towards the door.
Hu Yukun scolded: "Old thing, where to run!" In the blink of an eye, his hands pushed forward flatly, and dozens of sword lights suddenly shot out from his palms and hit the backs of the two of them.
The sword light is fast, Wang Shen's speed is not slow, his light skills are not boastful of being the first in the world, in the exclamation of everyone, the old snitch's body flashed a few times, and then all the incoming sword lights fell into the air, and there was a continuous explosion behind him, which was a sign that Hu Yukun's sword qi disappeared in the air.
"Kun'er, stop them, don't let them run away!" Su Jingzhi screamed.
Hu Yukun chased after him like a golden rainbow in response, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't beat Wang Shen's escape speed, and he could only watch Wang Shen run farther and farther away with Xu Chen on his back, but he still didn't give up the pursuit.
The panicked Xu Chen turned his head to take a look, and found that the distance between him and Hu Yukun was gradually widening, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Just when he thought he could get away from Hu Yukun's tracking, Wang Shen exclaimed: "Not good!"
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the situation. When he said this, Wang Shen showed a surprised expression on his face, and he frowned and said, "It seems that there is a mysterious force preventing us from escaping from Zhushan!"
Xu Chen asked in surprise: "Is there still a master hiding in this broken cottage?"
"I don't know, anyway, the situation is very wrong, I feel an indescribable pressure in the air around me, it makes my legs like they are filled with lead, if this continues, the guy surnamed Hu will catch up with us sooner or later!"
"Really?" Xu Chen glanced back in disbelief, and was taken aback, the distance between him and Hu Yukun was originally dozens of zhang, but now the distance has been shortened to less than ten zhang in the time of chatting a few words.
"Damn, did Hu Yukun use the demon law?"
Hu Yukun didn't pay attention to Xu Chen's swearing, his body flew faster in the air, and then his right hand was raised in the air, and his true qi twisted and rotated in his palm, and then condensed into a long whip with golden light, which was quickly pumped towards Xu Chen!
At the same time, Wang Shen, who was carrying Xu Chen on his back, suddenly stumbled under his feet, his body leaned straight forward, and the two of them suddenly fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Xu Chen also suffered a loss, and the long whip slapped his back, which immediately made him feel a hot pain.
At this moment, Hu Yukun had already caught up, holding the whip in his hand, and looked at them coldly.
Xu Chen stood up in pain and yelled at Wang Shen: "What's the matter with you, there was such a mistake at a critical moment?"
"Not my problem. Wang Shen's demeanor suddenly became a little weird, and he patted Xu Chen's shoulder with his hand.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chen looked back at Wang Shen strangely, and before he could speak again, his eyes were as big as a copper bell.
A white figure floated in the sky, and the dreamlike figure shimmered in circles of golden light, constantly expanding, as if it wanted to occupy the entire sky.
"What the hell did I see?" Xu Chen cried out.
Wang Shen was nervously speechless, his face was frighteningly pale as if it had been coated with a layer of snow, and cold sweat seeped out from his forehead.
Xu Chen suddenly noticed that Wang Shen was a little abnormal, and saw that his body was weak, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you okay?"
Wang Shen's lips moved, and he stopped talking, but Hu Yukun spoke coldly behind them: "No matter how powerful the ghost is, it will not appear in the daytime." ”
"And what is this thing?" Xu Chen asked, pointing to the figure in the air covered in golden light.
"Don't you understand?" Hu Yukun laughed wildly and said proudly, "Because I am the darling chosen by the ancient original god!"
