Chapter Seventy-Four: The Enemy Meets
Kushiro's stay and departure seemed like a trivial matter. Chu Heyi and his party continued to search for the secret techniques of the gods everywhere, following the records left by the man and interpreting them, but no longer mentioned his name.
It's been almost a month.
From the moment Chu Heyi was the first to openly try the secret technique of the ancient battlefield and gain entry. It's like a giant axe suddenly splitting a crack in the embankment, and the torrent roars down, directly impacting the so-called bottom line in people's hearts.
Just one month.
Whether it is the Martial Sect or the Spirit Alliance, searching for secret techniques and secretly practicing them is already a tacit secret among every cultivator. And as there are more and more traces of people in the ruins, more people are forced to find people they trust to exchange information. The cultivators of the same camp gradually gathered, and the confrontation between the martial spirits became more and more obvious. But the first sparks that ignited the war have not yet been found—in large part due to the deliberate avoidance of the Spirits.
Since the first day of the existence of the Spirit Alliance, it has been born dependent on the gods, and cultivating the secret art of the ancient battlefield is disrespectful at best, and betrayal at worst. Therefore, everything is avoided, and there are quite a lot of internal disputes.
It's just that it's the nature of people to yearn for stronger in practice, and the mysterious secret methods in the ancient battlefield have been placed in front of them, and the curtain of the secret of the gods has been revealed. Sooner or later, this piece of fire will burn up, and even if it burns all over this ancient battlefield, it will not be satisfied, and it will spread to the entire divine domain and the whole world outside. Until the wind crosses, the sky is completely changed.
By then......
Chu Heyi moved unconsciously, and suddenly felt a subtle tremor coming out of the crack in his bones—it had nothing to do with fear, but from the obsessive desire in his heart. He knew that this was a real opportunity, an opportunity that Qinmen had been waiting for for more than a thousand years.
But now. Chu Heyi quickly calmed down again. All he had to do was to continue to push this matter smoothly and irreversibly as Chu Heyi.
As for the rest......
Chu He glanced at the empty end in front of him.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind and smoke are long, everything is like a dry and old ancient painting scroll, people in it, as if they will suddenly freeze in place at any time, and since then they have not spoken, and they will always be silent.
Seeing a lot of such scenes, it is easy to smooth out the restless small waves in people's hearts little by little. Chu Heyi felt that he had returned to his former life day after day, changing his name and surname, pretending, wandering the world as another person, doing everything he should do with cold eyes, and he was unmoved.
— until the next moment.
......
......
Xie Yundu and Lao Bai walked on the road.
If time can be turned back, then he must go back to the moment before he separated from Lu Qiming, and then no matter what, he will no longer agree with Long Anlan's bullshit idea, and say that he will fight a bloody road with him.
Unfortunately not.
On that day, he couldn't wait for anyone in the agreed place, and Xie Yundu knew that it was bad. Long Anlan said that if everything goes well, there will be no reason to be slower than Xie Yundu. He left Lao Bai in the distance, and he was going back to live what had happened in his mind.
Xie Yundu gradually became suspicious of Long Anlan's actions at that time, but he was lucky, thinking that he must be panicked and suspicious. It's not that he takes it for granted, but he really can't believe that Long Anlan will do anything bad to Lu Qiming, after all, isn't she......
Let's leave that aside.
Later, Xie Yundu and Lao Bai searched for Lu Qiming and the road they might have passed back and forth several times in a row, but there was no trace of the two of them;
There was a huge ancient battlefield, which was stuffed with countless cultivators, but it seemed that it had suddenly become a dead place, and everyone had disappeared out of thin air, and the traces of people were extinct, allowing Xie Yundu to run wildly everywhere, but he couldn't even find a passerby who could stop the questioning.
That's impossible. Xie Yundu knew that even if he was too unlucky to keep going wrong with Lu Qiming, he would always be able to meet the people who were chasing and killing them before, but he just couldn't even see those people.
Someone trapped him. Xie Yundu faintly thought of the name in his heart, but the two words rolled back and forth in his throat, and he didn't dare to say it, otherwise Xie Yundu couldn't help but think about what Lu Qiming was done by him, and even ...... Whether or not they are alive.
It's been fourteen days.
Xie Yundu didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to think, didn't dare to stop, just like a headless fly in the barren wilderness, uselessly looking for clues that were impossible to find. If it weren't for Lao Bai being by his side all the time, he would feel like he would be crazy.
Chu Heyi and his entourage were the first time he had seen a living person again in a long time.
Xie Yundu had to admit that the moment he heard the human voice, he really felt that the whole person finally breathed a sigh of relief—even if the voice was from the group of people who counted half of his enemies.
However, Xie Yundu's heart had just relaxed, and he had to be forced to tense in the next moment-
Murderous!
- Obviously, Chu Heyi's feelings are completely different from his.
......
......
When Chu Heyi saw Xie Yundu dangling from the other road without any spirit, he was stunned for two moments.
After making sure that there was nothing else on the other side except for one person and one tiger, he calmed down four or five more breaths.
- and then with a roar of anger in his heart, his whole body was burned through.
What about Lu Qiming?
Chu Heyi fixed his gaze firmly on Xie Yundu again, completely unaware that his face was already terrifyingly cold.
At the beginning, seeing that Xie Yundu was rushing to save Lu Qiming desperately, Chu Heyi believed that he was sincere-but now why did Lu Qiming disappear without a trace, but he, Xie Yundu, was wandering here alone as if nothing had happened? This was already the center of the internal disputes, and Chu Heyi knew that with Lu Qiming's situation, even if he recovered well, he would definitely not take risks here.
Chu Heyi always thought that he was calm enough. But now he realized that he was actually walking on the single-plank bridge between the two cliffs with his arms held flat, and the slightest wind could completely overturn the appearance that he was trying to maintain.
What a calm and self-contained all the hell.
Chu Heyi looked at Xie Yundu's ignorant and dazed face and even a little happy, and couldn't bear it at all - he hadn't forgotten that he should have been the enemy of Lu Qiming for Xie Yundu, so now that Xie Yundu saw him, what was he happy about?!
The cold color in Chu Heyi's eyes flashed, and with a move of his hand, he held a long sword, and immediately slashed straight at Xie Yundu with full strength!
Everyone around was shocked. They knew that Chu Heyi rarely made a move in person, and even less when he didn't even ask a word, and he was about to see blood when he made a move. Last time, even when both parties had a conflict of interest, Chu Heyi treated each other with a smile and held it high, so that many people privately speculated that Xie Yundu Xu had an old relationship with Chu He. Why did this time, for no reason, get really angry as soon as we met?
——Xie Yundu's inquiry that was about to be said was so pressed on his lips.
For so many days, Xie Yundu was already holding back a fire in his heart, just a little bit, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment, so he slashed the sword and returned it, and sneered: "Good ability, when I'm afraid of you?"
Chu Heyi casually brushed away the aftermath and squinted his eyes slightly. Xie Yundu's jin duo he knew, he shouldn't have been able to block the sword just now so easily. He originally wanted to capture Xie Yundu and bring him back for careful interrogation, but he didn't expect that this test would make him see that something was wrong.
"I haven't seen you in January," Chu Heyi said lightly with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes: "Your sword path is fast to enter the realm." ”
This sentence just poked into Xie Yundu's sore spot, and the self-blame and anxiety that had been going on for days were almost about to explode in his chest, and he was forced to be pressed down by the current situation. At this time, he also realized that Chu Heyi's reaction was quite strange, and the suspicion in his heart suddenly grew, as if a problem that had been wandering for a long time suddenly had a breakthrough, which made him subconsciously desperately grasp it-
"Enlightenment...... The ninth generation is in your hands—isn't it?" Xie Yundu took a few steps forward, his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and said angrily: "Chu Heyi, why don't you always get along with him!"
At the time when the question was spoken, it was difficult for Xie Yundu to tell what his mood was, but he did have a moment when he wished that Lu Qiming was really here with Chu Heyi - it was better than not having any news and not knowing his life and death.
But when he finished speaking, Xie Yundu knew that he was wrong again. The people around him are all inexplicable, no matter how impatient he is, those expressions can always be distinguished.
Xie Yundu only felt like he had been splashed with a basin of ice water on his head, and the whole person was frozen, and he suddenly couldn't lift his strength. The tip of his sword couldn't help but shake down, and he whispered, "I ......"
Chu Heyi was even more sure that Xie Yundu must know something, and without hesitation, he volleyed out of the air with a little tiptoe, and the sword blade pointed directly at Xie Yundu, and said coldly: "Don't follow anyone!"
When the words fell, the sword qi had already ruthlessly forced Xie Yundu to the point!
If Xie Yundu had the idea of fighting him fiercely at the beginning, but now after experiencing hope and disappointment, his heart has long been extinguished. He barely raised some strength to hold Chu Heyi's sword, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Count me as if I just said the wrong thing...... Chu Heyi, I don't want to fight with you today. ”
Chu Heyi didn't even blink his eyes more, his wrist flipped slightly, and there was a piercing hissing between the overlapping of the two sharp swords, and the cold light flashed, Xie Yundu already felt a stinging pain in his eyebrows, and without thinking, he leaned back, and could only raise his hand and connect it with another sword.
And with the second sword that Xie Yundu was forced out, Chu Heyi's heart once again appeared with that sense of familiarity, the feeling of this sword......
Immediately, Chu Heyi stabbed at Xie Yundu again with another sword.
"Chu Heyi!" Xie Yundu shouted angrily: "What the hell are you going to do—"
Xie Yundu was going to scold him for being crazy, but Chu Heyi didn't even leave him the effort to finish a sentence.
Xie Yundu didn't want to spend all his energy on this inexplicable fight, and wanted to leave, but Chu Heyi was far more difficult to deal with than he originally thought. He was infused with a complete kendo inheritance by Lu Qiming, and his cultivation was also raised to a whole great realm, and he still couldn't get out of Chu Heyi. And Xie Yundu had secretly sworn that if it weren't for Lu Qiming's business, he would never use the sword path that Lu Qiming gave him, and he quite sealed most of his strength by himself. At this time, the left and right constraints not only failed to win, but fell behind.
The two of them were changing their swords in an instant, and they couldn't slow down for a moment, and Lao Bai was in a hurry with them, but he couldn't interfere with their level at all.
I don't know how long it took for Xie Yundu to finally squeeze out a gap, and he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Chu Heyi, what do you want to do!"
Chu Heyi stopped, looked at him, and suddenly said coldly: "It was you who snatched Lu Qiming's sword path." ”
Xie Yundu's eyes widened suddenly, his face instantly turned red, and he said hurriedly: "I don't-"
Chu Heyi's eyes narrowed, and he took advantage of his panic to unleash his sword, and the unprecedented sword momentum of the forest cold instantly evacuated the surrounding spiritual energy, and the roaring hurricane directly cut the surrounding mountains and rocks into gray and white powder, and almost nothing could be seen around for a while.
Xie Yundu only felt that he was shrouded in an extremely ruthless killing machine in an instant, and the hairs on his body exploded, and unconsciously, the long sword winter night had risen with it, and the high sword intent was uncontrollably rising in the void.
However, Xie Yundu did not have even a trace of self-satisfaction in his heart, he even forgot the current situation, and the first thought that came to his mind was that he had broken his oath! He couldn't save him, he couldn't help him in the slightest, and now he couldn't even keep an oath in his heart.
"This is Lu Qiming's sword path. Chu Heyi's voice then entered his mind.
My heart was cold to the extreme, and I froze my anger, so I naturally got another kind of calm. Chu Heyi's left shoulder was broken by Xie Yundu's sword, but he didn't care. His eyes stared at the soulless young man in front of him without a trace of warmth, and said in a deep voice, "Xie Yundu, you deceived him into trusting, and then you took away his sword path and threw him away at will—yes or no?"
Xie Yundu looked at him in disbelief, his voice almost bursting with urgency, "I didn't! How could that be?!
"What is that?" Chu Heyi stared at him, his right hand trembled slightly due to the fierce and suppressed killing intent, and said slowly: "What are you holding in your hand? Where has he gone now?"
Xie Yundu retreated again and again, only to feel that the blood all over his body rushed to his head, and there was a roar in his ears. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak at all—could it be said that he didn't want to at all, and that Lu Qiming restrained him and forcibly poured it into him? The matter has come to this, if he still wants to say such bastard words, I am afraid that he will want to give himself a slap in the face.
Chu Heyi looked at Xie Yundu coldly, the murderous intent in his chest was monstrous, just waiting for him to admit it, even if he exposed the identity of the Qin Sect, Chu Heyi would kill this person on the spot regardless of it! Lu Qiming trusted him so much, if he dared to be guilty, then Chu Heyi would never mind taking revenge on behalf of others.
Xie Yundu froze in despair, only to feel that even if he had a hundred mouths all over his body, he could no longer tell clearly, and what was wrong with the questioning of the person on the other side? He almost hated himself.
"How can I be as good as him?" Xie Yundu looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes turned red suddenly, and he held it back, he didn't even know what he was talking about in a trance, "I'm ignorant and incompetent, a fool, and it's useless in the end...... How could this kendo be mine! It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, ......."
"Shut up. He really said it, but Chu Heyi's expression gradually turned impatient, and he said indifferently: "You can keep these words, go back to Taoshan and hold your master and brother wronged, tell me what to do." ”
Xie Yundu's soul was forcibly pulled back by his words. He calmed himself down, and then realized that he didn't know when Chu Heyi had forced him to come to this place in the back of the mountain somewhere, the shadows of the dead branches and trees around him were cold and desolate, and if people didn't speak, they were dead and silent, and there was no one else next to him except for the white tiger who came over.
Xie Yundu forced his face to glare at Chu Heyi again, and intuitively felt that the killing intent on this person had disappeared inexplicably, but the suppressed anger became more and more difficult to hide.
"What are you going to do here?" Xie Yundu snorted coldly and said, "Are you going to kill people and hide your corpse?"
Chu Heyi looked at him uncertainly for a long time, put away his long sword, raised his hand to straighten the corners of his clothes, and suddenly said, "I am from Lu Qiming's side." ”
Xie Yundu was stunned.
His first reaction was not to believe it, but as soon as this sentence came out, the long-standing puzzles in his heart suddenly had a way out, and he then believed a little bit in his heart - who knew that the twists and turns in his mind were only halfway over, and before he could completely turn back, he felt that his cheeks slammed into a wood, and he was actually hit by Chu Heyi's punch and hit his head!
After a long time, he felt the hot pain, and Xie Yundu was still thinking in disbelief, this grandson, his hands are really black!
The clay man still has three points of anger, not to mention Xie Yundu, who was beaten and wronged and wronged today!
He is not a natural noble son like Chu Heyi, and the first one or two decades of the most critical temperament formation were all used to crawling in the streets and alleys. was so provoked by Chu Heyi, Xie Yundu's wild energy, which had been forcibly pressed down by his second senior brother for many years, suddenly revived, and he came to his head with a bang-
Xie Yundu immediately smiled viciously, and with a stalk of his neck, he unceremoniously slammed forward and directly slammed Chu Heyi with a head hammer.
Chu Heyi really didn't expect that the melee battle was directly pulled by Xie Yundu to a level that was harder than anyone's head, and after a moment of dizziness, he was swept to the ground by Xie Yundu, who knew how to do this, by the shoulder, and his chin was punched.
"It's Lao Tzu who let you today, and you still kicked your nose in the face!" Xie Yundu was especially puzzled, and was about to catch another punch, but was broken by Chu Heyi with a small grapple.
"Shouldn't you be beaten?" Chu Heyi directly pressed him to the ground, and sarcastically said with his characteristic snarky smile: "Idiot, you have self-knowledge......"
Before he finished speaking, he held his breath back again, and avoided Xie Yundu's leg to the side in a little hurry, and a thin red appeared on his usually pale cheeks due to anger, and he said, "Presumptuous!"
"Let you go!" Xie Yundu greeted him three ways without any inhibitions, snatched back the winning noodles in an instant, and sneered: "This is what you Chu Heyi picked up first, and now you will play with me again - it's too late to regret it!"
Chu Heyi pursed his lips tightly, and without showing weakness, he pounced and beat him back; Xie Yundu was naturally happy to see him attack others' strengths with his own shortcomings, and accompany him!
Under the incredulous staring of Lao Bai next to him, these two people just rolled directly on the ground in disregard of their demeanor and demeanor, and they couldn't pull apart.
- until the two of them stared at each other for a long time while pinching their necks.
Release at the same time.
Chu Heyi was not an impulsive and impatient temperament, but the opposite. It's just because I've suppressed my emotions for many years, and the guilt in my heart is too deep to release these days, so that's just a little bit. Xie Yundu just happened to bump into this moment.
Therefore, after a mess of fighting, the useless emotions in his heart were minimized in an instant, and his usual calmness and indifference immediately returned to his place, and even his mind that had been complicated for many days regained his clarity.
It's just that if he is still the same as usual, he will still have a little bit of majesty when he looks at people with an expressionless face. It's a pity that he just rolled on the ground like a madman with Xie Yundu for a long time at this time, and Xie Yundu is a person who doesn't pay attention to fighting, Chu Heyi is inevitably vulgar, and the honor at this time is quite indescribable. At this time, he looked at people with a calm and somewhat arrogant demeanor, and he looked funny.
Xie Yundu laughed unceremoniously, but he had to secretly admit in his heart that this person was finally a little pleasing to the eye now.
Chu Heyi naturally knew what he was laughing at—after all, a glance at Xie Yundu would also know what he was like at the moment.
But when he says calm, he's really calm.
"Tell me about that day. Chu Heyi looked at Xie Yundu and said.
......
