Chapter 3 A Beginning
"Brother He, thank you very much this time, will you embarrass the clan by doing this?"
"With the relationship between you and me, there is no need to say politely, I came out this time to make such a big move, the elders of the clan must know that although these old guys are stubborn, they did not come out to stop this time, which means that they are not optimistic about the alliance between the other six clans and the second prince. However, I didn't know about you being hunted down before, it was my subordinates who accidentally found the fragments of your clothes, and I sent my subordinates to find you, only to know that such a thing happened, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are so vast, and they happened to pick up the fragments of your clothes. Speaking of this, He Xiao looked at Fang Yimei and said, "How much do you know about the person who saved you?"
Rescued by Liu Xia in the deepest despair, Fang Yimei did not doubt Liu Xia's heart, in fact, according to Fang Yimei's usual cautious style, she should have thought that Liu Xia's appearance was too coincidental, at this time, after listening to He Xiao's words, thinking back to the methods used by Liu Xia and himself on the way north, the search for the demon clan was perfect, and finding He Xiao was also the method he proposed, this was an escape plan that was very suitable for Fang Yimei's identity, as if it was tailor-made for her. If it were a coincidence, no one would believe it.
"No matter what," Fang Yimei, who was disguised as an ordinary demon cultivator, said expressionlessly, "He saved my life and made a great contribution to Great Qin." ”
He Xiao was silent, and the figure of the powerful demon cultivator was always circling in his mind.
Dozens of miles away, Li Yuan, a man in Tsing Yi, stood on the top of the tree, feeling anxious in his heart, the time was almost noon, but there was no half clue from Fang Yimei, thinking of the consequences of this failure, his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
If he committed suicide yesterday, maybe his wife and children thousands of miles away would have a glimmer of life, but at this moment, he has no way out, he has succeeded, and the whole family will be buried with him.
At this time, Li Yuan suddenly turned around, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared. A figure that he hated flew from the dense forest to the top of the tree.
Looking at Liu Xia who appeared in front of him, Li Yuan didn't speak, his heart was full of puzzlement, and he was secretly wary.
Liu Xia was chic and free, as if he had seen an old friend, and said with a smile: "I have something I want to ask you." ”
For Liu Xia, Li Yuan hated and was shocked, hated that he rescued Fang Yimei and fell into a desperate situation, shocked that this young man of unknown origin seemed to be not highly cultivated, but mysterious methods emerged one after another, especially the technique of concealing his whereabouts, Li Yuan still didn't understand how Liu Xia disappeared from his qi lock.
Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "What's the matter?"
"Nine years of Chengping, Peach Blossom Village. Liu Xia spit out seven words, and gently caressed Li Yuan's body like a spring breeze.
A monstrous wave surged in Li Yuan's heart, and the expression on his face did not change at all, waiting for Liu Xia to continue. He thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't know that Liu Xia sensed that his heart was beating faster and that he had already gotten what he wanted.
Liu Xia restrained his smile, bowed his head slightly, and sighed: "Time flies so fast, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. Speaking of this, Liu Xia suddenly looked up at Li Yuan, and asked word by word: "After murdering the lives of five hundred and ninety-one people in Peach Blossom Village, can you sleep peacefully at night?"
"Everyone in the world knows that the tragedy in Peach Blossom Village was committed by the demon clan, and the court has made a public announcement, what does it have to do with me?" Li Yuan was unmoved.
"Hehe," Liu Xia sneered: "In order not to leak the news, the Jishen Division dispatched a gold division, three silver divisions, and nine copper divisions, after the demon clan killed people, you took action to wipe out all the demon clans who knew about it, and afterwards Jin Si reported to the only masked man, I never knew who that person was, now I know, the second prince brought you to the demon clan, presumably the connection between him and the demon clan has been in charge of you." ”
Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Although what you said is accurate, as if you saw it with your own eyes, but the result of the imperial court's investigation is that no one in Peach Blossom Village survives, and no one will believe your words, unless you come up with evidence." ”
"You're right, I saw this qiē with my own eyes. Liu Xia said bitterly: "I also thought I couldn't live, but I didn't expect that God would also open his eyes and let me save my life."
"As for the evidence you want," Liu Xia said coldly: "Jin Si Huangfu Quan, in charge of the Zhennan Prefecture Ji Shen Division, the silver division Zhang Feng and Li Zhiyang are still serving under him, the whereabouts of the other silver secretary Lin Jingfeng are unknown, seven of the nine copper divisions have died in the past seven years, do you really think they are all normal deaths?"
Li Yuan was silent, thinking in his heart where something had gone wrong.
Liu Xia stared at Li Yuan and said, "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, your heart is beating faster, and the Yuan Force Turmoil has betrayed you." ”
Li Yuan's face changed, and he finally asked: "The total population of Peach Blossom Village is five hundred and ninety-one, and the number of corpses afterwards is also matched, Peach Blossom Village was sealed off three days before the incident, and no one entered or exited, how did you survive?" He couldn't figure it out, the incident seven years ago was well planned, and there was a grandmaster in charge, how could there be an omission!
"I thought that God gave me a second chance to make me realize the preciousness of a peaceful life," Liu Xia said lonely: "But I didn't expect it to be for me to bear this cause and effect, although I don't want to, I can't bear to let them die in vain, I can't let you live happily." ”
I couldn't understand what Liu Xia was saying, but Li Yuan knew that his opportunity had come, and Liu Xia in front of him was more important than Fang Yimei. Although betrayal is shameful, it is not as disgraceful as colluding with the demon clan to slaughter innocent people.
As long as Liu Xia is caught, any sin can be offset, and he can even use this skill to ascend to the sky in one step. Li Yuan, who was already desperate, suddenly saw a ray of light, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
"That's it," Li Yuan sneered: "You survived seven years ago, and I don't know if you still have this good luck seven years later." ”
"I never knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was, but I didn't expect to know it from Fang Yimei's mouth. This qiē has its own providence, seek justice for the unjust souls of Peach Blossom Village, let them rest in peace, it starts with you!"
When the words fell, Liu Xia floated towards Li Yuan, and the speed was so fast that Li Yuan was secretly surprised.
Among the attendants around the second prince, Li Yuan's cultivation is not too high, and the reason why he was brought to him by such a major event as forming an alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and sending him to hunt down Fang Yimei, is only because Li Yuan is cautious and well-versed in literature and ink, and he is a figure who is both civil and military.
The cultivation is not high, but it is only relatively speaking, although Liu Xia is mysterious, as long as he does not escape, the cultivation of the peak of the second grade still gives Li Yuan enough confidence to kill Liu Xia, who is nearly twenty years younger than him.
Practicing together, the famous teacher's exercises, talent and perseverance are important, but time is also indispensable, with Liu Xia's age, even if he starts to practice in his mother's womb, how high can his cultivation be?
In the face of Liu Xia's attack, Li Yuan took a defensive position and made up his mind to observe Liu Xia's moves first and find out the origin of his exercises. If Liu Xia was really a survivor of the tragedy in Peach Blossom Village, seven years had passed, and he didn't believe that Liu Xia hadn't told the people around him about it.
Liu Xia's attacks are unpredictable, fists, knees, elbows, and all parts of his body can attack, and the angle of attack is extremely tricky. It seems that there is no strength between raising his hands and feet, but it has caused a lot of pressure on Li Yuan, and only when the attack is close to his body, Li Yuan can feel that the seemingly ordinary attack contains an amazing amount of Yuan power.
Liu Xia's shot was like a wave, continuous, and like a storm, not giving Li Yuan a chance to breathe. Li Yuan has become a flat boat in the sea, and after following the waves, it is difficult to recover the initiative.
Until now, Li Yuan has not discovered the rules and weaknesses in Liu Xia's attacks, it seems that there is no discipline, but the transition between moves is mellow and free, and there is no hindrance.
Li Yuan was also cautious in his life, and he was cautious in defeat, and the two biggest mistakes were because of Liu Xia's appearance.
Realizing that he was at a disadvantage, and if he continued to defend, he was afraid that the situation would be worse, Li Yuan shouted: "That's it!"
Liu Xia's body suddenly retreated, not fighting with him.
Li Yuan was unforgiving, chasing Liu Xia closely, and every palm was powerful and heavy, forcing Liu Xia to keep retreating.
It seems that Li Yuan has the advantage, but in fact, Liu Xia dodges with ease, and the raging palm wind has not been able to hurt Liu Xia in the slightest.
"The second-grade intermediate level is nothing more than that!" Liu Xia said lightly, stretched out his palms, and took Li Yuan's palms hard.
The four palms met, Li Yuan frantically mobilized the Yuan Force in his body, wanting to seriously injure Liu Xia with his profound cultivation, but suddenly felt that the Yuan Force was stagnant, and then ushered in Liu Xia's counterattack.
The blood vessels on his arms began to burst from his wrists, and flesh and blood flew together, Li Yuan wanted to get rid of it, but his palms were stuck by Liu Xia. Gritting his teeth, Li Yuan cut off his arms and retreated rapidly.
"What kind of exercises did you just make, and why can you control the operation of the Yuan Force in my body?" Li Yuan couldn't understand, and asked.
"For the first three years, I sat down and practiced, and I walked out of the shadow of hatred, and I didn't let it cloud my mind. ”
Liu Xia caught up with Li Yuan as he spoke, and slapped his palm on his chest.
"In the next three years, Master threw me into an endless desperate situation, leaving me to fend for myself, and I racked my brains to defeat the demon cultivators who were stronger than me. ”
Liu Xia made another move, shattering Li Yuan's legs and destroying his dantian.
"In the last year, Master left me, I wandered in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, and finally one day, I awakened the soul technique!"
Li Yuan had already lost his cultivation, his body began to fall, and when he heard that Liu Xia had awakened his soul technique, his eyes changed from shock to dullness, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible!"
Suddenly feeling that his body stopped falling, Li Yuan's eyes returned to focus, looking close, and his expression was calm and abnormal, and the young man said: "I killed you today, just to let you know my strength." You say, a young man whose cultivation is no more than the pinnacle of the first grade, and who is far from the realm of the fourth grade, has awakened his soul technique in advance, what level can he achieve in his future cultivation?
"Hehehe, what you think is right is not necessarily right......"
Before he finished speaking, his head was unscrewed, and seeing Li Yuan's headless body fall, Liu Xia urged Yuan Li to explode his head into a ball of blood.
Wiping the trace of blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth due to the soul technique backlash, Liu Xia muttered to himself: "This is just the beginning. ”
With that, his body turned sharply and threw himself into the dense forest.
