Chapter 24: Names That No Longer Matter (2)
Yu Changqing was the first to calm down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ He raised his arm slightly to temporarily stop the other people's plans to sneak attack, and asked first, "What are you going to say?"
The boy chuckled, but there was neither irony nor anger in the laughter, but only a light autumn breeze. He said, "I don't want to kill you. β
Wei Liang remembered the scene just now, a trace of violence flashed across his face, and he sneered: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability now!"
The young man was not angry, but said: "My situation is very bad, but I can still kill you here." β
Wei Liang subconsciously wanted to satirize the past, but listening to the young man's faint voice, he couldn't say it for some reason. He wasn't the only one who fell silent. After a while, Yu Changqing spoke again: "So?"
The young man said: "Actually, I have the same enemy as you, and I was framed by Cheng Yuan. β
Yu Changqing paused and said, "Is Your Excellency making fun of us?" I'm afraid that anyone who hears someone say that he was framed by himself will inevitably feel weird.
The young man looked a little tired, shook his head and said, "This sentence is also what I want to say." You have a wide range of people, have you really never heard of the rumors between me and Cheng Yuan? I am not Cheng Yuan at all. Do you really want to fight to the end and end up 'taking revenge' on someone who has nothing to do with you?"
Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.
"In this case, the wise people do not speak secret words. Yu Changqing said with a straight face: "There is an enmity between our brother and Cheng Yuan, and it is impossible to take such a big risk just by your words. So, do you have any evidence?"
If there is any convincing evidence, how could he have been hunted down for so long?
The boy smiled wryly.
Under the gaze of Yu Changqing and others, he suddenly let go of Pei Zhou, the only bargaining chip, took a few steps back and stood still, and said quietly: "This is the evidence." β
The air was quiet, Yu Changqing and the others reacted instantly, and immediately rushed to Pei Zhou's side to check, only to admit that the young man really didn't do anything.
"You ......" Pei Zhou's expression was complicated, obviously struggling between revenge and belief. After a while, he let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes gradually slowed down, and he said in a low voice: "You are right, we did listen to ...... before"
Scold!
Without warning, Pei Zhou's five people suddenly burst out - without even making eye contact, they had once again slaughtered the stunned young man!
The sword qi was pressed to the center of his eyebrows almost instantly! The young man pursed his lips tightly, and his body swept back rapidly, but he didn't have time to use the knife, so he only held his palm in front of him with one handβ
The surrounding space was frozen for a rare moment, and Pei Zhou and the others couldn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations, but they clearly knew that their offensive was being eliminated by some invisible and mysterious force!
Yes, that's the power of his rules!
Sure enough, it was very strange, but even this level of hole cards had been tested almost - Pei Zhou and the others thought excitedly.
When Cheng Yuan first sacrificed the power of the rules, this way of using the power of the profound and profound really frightened a considerable number of cultivators. However, as time passed, people began to realize that this power of Cheng Yuan was no real threat to living creatures, and it seemed that Cheng Yuan would only use the power of rules to protect himself, and it would be difficult for him to make a lethal attack.
What's more, whenever Cheng Yuan has to spend his mind to use the power of the rules, it often means that he really has no other way out.
Thinking of this, Pei Zhou and the others looked at the young man with more and more fiery eyes, and as for the fact that he had been spared by the other party not long ago, he had already been forgotten by them.
The boy barely stood with his hands under his ribs, and the piercing blood dripped down his fingers in strings, drowning in the dust.
"A woman's kindness. β
A cold voice suddenly interrupted the silence of the air, "Whether you are Cheng Yuan or not, it doesn't matter to them at all. That's just a random reason to kill you. β
A handsome young man in a purple robe slowly walked out of the dry forest, and said with his chin bowed: "Martial Sect Murong Jue." I've admired the name for a long time, Cheng Yuan. β
The young man calmly moved his gaze to Murong Jue, obviously sensing it. He sighed: "I am indeed not Chengyuan......
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Murong Jue took out a snow-white and clean silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the sword body, and sneered, "Whoever you are." β
The young man's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a playful smile on the corner of his lips was fleeting. He smiled softly and harmlessly again, shook his head, and said, "I thought that since he was going to kill me, he shouldn't have that reminder. β
Murong Jue casually discarded the silk handkerchief that had been used once, and said lightly: "So you don't have to thank me." β
The young man smiled meaninglessly, did not speak for a while, but glanced at the original Pei Zhou and the five people.
Regarding Murong Jue's appearance, although Pei Zhou and the others were silent on their faces, they were secretly vigilant in their hearts. On the premise that they thought they had won the victory, Murong Jue's sudden appearance was tantamount to blatantly snatching their spoils. Yu Changqing stepped forward and smiled, and there was no temptation in his tone, "Master Murong, I want to thank you for your help this time?"
However, what they didn't expect was that Murong Jue not only ignored it, but even looked at them with a stingy look, completely treating them as nothing.
Murong Jue just stared at Cheng Yuan and said, "I see that you have never broken any sword move, and you have even made your opponent retreat without a fight three times with your clever sword intent, which shows that your realm in the way of the sword is actually extremely profound. So why did you never get a sword until you were in such a situation? Do you think that such villains have defiled your swordsmanship?"
Hearing this, Pei Zhou and the others' faces couldn't help but look ugly. Of course Murong Jue didn't care, he only cared about Cheng Yuan's answer.
The boy was silent.
Murong Jue turned his wrist and grasped the hilt of the sword, and suddenly bowed down and made a sword salute of the highest standard towards Cheng Yuan, and asked with a calm expression, "Or, do you think I am qualified?"
Most of the time, Murong Jue is a casual and perverse and even rude person, but only when it comes to swordsmanship, he is completely different.
The boy shook his head.
Murong Jue still maintained the posture of the sword salute, his chin raised slightly, and the divine light in his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes was sharp.
The young man said: "My sword path is extinct, so I can't use the sword, it has nothing to do with who the opponent is." β
Hearing that he actually revealed his shortcomings, Pei Zhou's five people were shocked and all flashed with joy, only Murong Jue's face turned grim, and he said coldly: "Lie! You still look down on me." β
There was a subtle hint of surprise in the young man's eyes, but he still said, "I have no reason to lie to you. Believe it or not, that's what it is. β
Murong Jue finally straightened up, and the corners of his lips were a little stingy for no reason.
"You will definitely draw the sword, unless you ......" His pale and slender fingers slid over the hilt of the sword one by one, and sneered, "You can pretend like this until you die!"
After finishing speaking, Murong Jue's last trace of patience had also been exhausted, and without any hesitation, the long sword in his hand had already come out!
- Qiong Yao Flower Flying Shadow, Flying Flower Sword.
For a while, Zhou Fangtiandi was full of flying flower sword shadows that were extremely beautiful, like a drunken dream of death - but this was the most ruthless and powerful murderous sword!
Someone once said that Murong Jue's sword intent is the best to recognizeβa femme fatale, the kind of vicious and ruthless that is soaked in erotic affection, which can make anyone who has witnessed it unforgettable. That's it.
However, today's Flying Flower Sword seems to have something more mysterious and mysterious.
Pei Zhou and the five of them were still unconscious, but the young man who bore the brunt of the attack could perceive the subtle changes in the momentum of the entire heaven and earth that existed in a deeper place.
The young man's expression moved slightly, as if he had not looked at Murong Jue for the first time until this time. He muttered, "It's that kendo rune...... You're smart. β
"Is it really you?" As soon as the words fell, Murong Jue's pupils suddenly constricted, and he suddenly realized something-
It's been too long!
How could such a short distance, such a fast sword, remain in place for so long?!
The young man glanced up at him, pursed his lips and smiled, "Oops, it's revealing again." β
Without waiting for Murong Jue or the others to react, Cheng Yuan raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply-
The world stopped.
The five Pei Zhou who were about to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, Murong Jue's flying clothes and eyes, flying flowers, fallen leaves, dead branches, and even the transparent lines produced by the sword momentum stirring the air-
It's all stopped.
As always, Cheng Yuan is the only one. At this moment, he had come out of time.
"I still remember these runes. A smile gradually appeared in Cheng Yuan's eyesβa real smile, even a rare warmth. He fell into reminiscence and muttered, "At that time, I was still obsessed with kendo, and these runes were engraved by me one by one, and I was excited for a long time when I got a new one...... What about you, do you remember?"
Shiren walked slowly to his side and said softly, "Remember, of course remember, never forget." β
Cheng Yuan stood in place for a long time, sighed, and said, "At that time, I still had something to do, but then time passed so long that I couldn't even find kendo interesting. β
"It's getting less and less interesting. Cheng Yuan shook his head.
Shi Daodao: "There must be something you like here." β
"You're right. Cheng Yuan cheered up a little, his eyes turned, and he fell on the frozen Murong Jue again, and asked Shi Dao sideways: "For example, him, what is going on? Am I not pretending to be like enough, how is he sure that I am lying? If he was originally familiar with Lu Qiming, it would be fine, but he is still the first time to see me, so it feels so keen, right?"
Shi Daodao: "There are many creatures in this world who have special talents, which are different from ours. β
Cheng Yuan bowed his head and said, "It's a little interesting...... It's a good seedling, but it's a pity that such a smart person is always prone to bad things. β
Shiren rarely persuaded: "It's better to leave him alive." β
Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked over.
Shi Ren reminded: "His surname is Murong and he is a descendant of three generations. β
"Is it him?" Cheng Yuan suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of his ancestor's loyalty...... It's a pity that the three generations have already died, otherwise they can still be called to use. β
Cheng Yuan said casually, he was about to point at Murong Jue's eyebrows, but he didn't know what he remembered, and he withdrew his hand halfway, "If you don't change it, maybe you can get some surprises...... Just like that Xie Yundu. β
The stone man listened quietly and did not answer.
"What about Lu Qiming?" Cheng Yuan asked again: "What's the movement?"
Shiren paused and said in a low voice, "Are you going to do it?"
Cheng Yuan was stunned, looked at him with a smile, and said, "What, you have softened your heart?"
Shiren was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I've always known that I'm not good at thinking, so it's up to you to decide everything. β
"Go back. Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "My little game here is ready to continue." β
The stone man looked at him for a moment, his gaze calm and deep.
"Yes, master. β
