Chapter 31: Life and Death
Am I going to die?
Xie Linyuan, who was seriously injured, could only watch as the blue and black long knife slashed towards him.
He couldn't dodge.
Because his body has completely disobeyed the call, the coagulated blood, the stiff muscles, and the dull nerves are like a corpse that has lost its vitality and is gradually cold.
What's even more desperate and helpless is that his brain is still sober, but he can't do anything!
He struggled to move his body, desperately trying to dodge the knife.
But why? Why doesn't the body listen to the call? Move! Move!
He doesn't want to die! He can't die!
He shoulders the hundred-year-old feud of the Excalibur Villa, he shoulders the mission of reviving the Excalibur Villa, and he shoulders the survival of the family!
So how can he die? How can he die?
Unfortunately, the reality is often harsh.
In a desperate situation, he did not succeed in breaking the seed, and he did not plug in.
Death seems to have become his inevitable end.
"When Lin He persuaded me not to come to Qingping Troubled Waters, did he already expect this outcome?"
For a moment, the world in Xie Linyuan's eyes seemed to have fallen into a standstill, time stopped flowing, and only his consciousness was irrepressibly diffuse, looking back on the bits and pieces of his life like a marquee.
He is the only male in the family.
He is not only on a mission to revive the family, but also to pass it on to future generations.
He practiced sword at the age of three, forged his body at the age of twelve, passed the pulse at the age of fifteen, opened his mind at the age of eighteen, and at the age of twenty, he had already cultivated the "Amazing Sword Technique" inherited by the Divine Sword Villa to the fifth layer, although his attainments in martial arts can be called talented, but compared with the previous generations of Tianjiao who once shook the rivers and lakes of the Divine Sword Villa, Xie Linyuan's talent is obviously still a little worse.
From the time he remembered, the people around his family were always spurring him.
Xie Linyuan: Have you forgotten the glorious glory of Excalibur Villa in the past?
Xie Linyuan: Have you forgotten the blood feud of the Demon Sect that slaughtered the lives of more than a thousand people in my Divine Sword Villa?
Xie Linyuan: Have you forgotten your great wish to revive and revive my Divine Sword Villa?
Whenever someone asked these words, Xie Linyuan had to answer loudly.
Lin Yuan! Don't dare to forget for a moment!
Xie Linyuan, who lived in such an environment, sacrificed all the joys of life.
Repression, pain, hatred.
He grew up with him all the time.
Until the moment of death, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Perhaps, from the moment he decided to leave the mountain villa to try the world, a seed of self-destruction was planted in the deepest part of his heart.
Watered by death, it finally sprouted, and even grew gorgeous and bewitching flowers on the other side.
They sucked up his pain, sucked up his inhibitions, sucked up all the burdens he had.
It was as if he had been given a new lease of life.
Unfortunately, this new student came too late.
Dingββ
A force that was overwhelming suddenly changed the trajectory of the blue-black long knife, almost deflecting past Xie Linyuan's neck.
"Who!?"
Zhou Lie looked around at the surrounding mountains and forests in disbelief, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled slightly imperceptibly.
No one knew better than him what kind of interference his knife had received, especially under his peak blow, this sudden interference not only missed his knife at the last moment, but even almost let his knife come out of his hand!
It can be seen that he met a master.
A master whose strength is beyond imagination.
"Actually, I didn't plan to meddle in your personal grudges, after all, killing people pays for their lives, it's right, but I listened to you later, after killing him, you actually wanted to kill his whole family and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, which was too much, so I thought about it carefully, and finally decided to take action. β
Xia Fan walked out of the mountain forest slowly.
"You...... You are the hermit master rumored to be in Qingping Mountain?"
After Zhou Lie saw the person who came, his expression suddenly changed.
"Hidden Grandmaster, what is this new name?" Xia Fan tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Oh, by the way, I remember, you people in the rivers and lakes seem to divide different levels according to the strength of the martial artists, and the grandmaster seems to be the most powerful one among them, right? β
"......" Zhou Lie frowned, as if he was not used to the other party's weird remarks, so he immediately lowered his face and said bluntly. "Your Excellency, do you want to save Xie Linyuan's life?"
"Huh, did I say I wanted to save his life?" said Xia Fan with a surprised expression. "Didn't I just say it clearly enough? If you kill him, why do you implicate his family?"
"Naturally, it is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer from future troubles! Your Excellency doesn't know such a simple truth?" Zhou Lie said coldly.
"I really don't know. Xia Fan sighed lightly. "But I've heard the saying that the rules of the rivers and lakes don't hurt my family. β
"Heh! There are indeed rules on the rivers and lakes that are not as bad as my family, but the rules are dead, people are alive, even if I violate this rule, who can help me?" Zhou Lie said disdainfully.
"Oh, I understand when you say this, isn't it just whoever has the big fist is the rule!" Xia Fan said suddenly.
"Jianghu has been like this since ancient times. Zhou Lie said lightly.
"That's why I especially hate you people who ignore the law and discipline, don't follow the rules and act recklessly!" Xia Fan shook his head and said. "Sometimes when I see you guys, I can't help but want to slap you to death!"
"The rivers and lakes are like this, the world is like this, since Your Excellency can't get used to our actions, why do you want to live in seclusion in the mountains instead of helping the imperial court clear the Quartet, and return the world to a prosperous world?" Zhou Lie sneered.
"Because I am not the savior, not to mention that the people of this world will not be able to stand up for a day before the wisdom of the people is opened! Only a great revolution from the bottom up can recreate a bright and prosperous ......," Xia Fan said regretfully. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, you don't understand, as long as you know it, you gangs of people will bear the brunt of the fight against crime and evil in the future world!"
β...... So, your Excellency won't stop me from killing Xie Linyuan?"
Zhou Lie sneered, he really didn't understand what Xia Fan said nonsense, so he simply went straight to the point.
"Please. β
Xia Fan said disapprerovitically.
"Is what Your Excellency said true?" Zhou Lie said immediately.
"Naturally. Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said. "But I have one thing to warn you of. β
"What's the matter?" Zhou Lie's heart tightened instantly.
"When you kill him, I will kill you. Xia Fan said lightly.
"Why?" Zhou Lie said with heavy breathing.
"Please, you are also a murderer when you kill him, not to mention that according to your temperament, who knows how many people you have killed, so do you think I will let you go, a murderer with blood on your hands?"
