Chapter 21 I can't see it, but it's the bottom line of existence
Mu Shenyun howled in pain like an old lone wolf about to die, not only because of the sharp pain in his heels, but also because there was no possibility of retaliation in the face of Lin Xi's taunt.
The blood that flowed again from the cracked wound on his back and the burning heat of the five internal organs in his body, coupled with the sharp pain in his heels, made him know that there was no way for him to escape, and in the beastly howl of pain, he forcibly twisted his body, kicked on the ground with one foot, and slammed his elbow towards the top of Jiang Xiaoyi's head.
At this moment, Lin Xi had already appeared in front of him.
Lin Xi's hand leaned out of his sleeve, tightly holding a short blue and red staff, and smashed it into his eyes.
Mu Shenyun's originally sunken arm suddenly straightened, and his palm slapped on the short staff in Lin Xi's hand.
In the dark night, there was a sudden explosion like a crackling of bamboo, and the short staff in Lin Xi's hand wore out the flesh and blood of his palm, and the blood made his palms and fingers damp, but he didn't take a step back, and his eyes were brighter.
He had already sensed that Mu Shenyun's strength had exhausted, he was almost exhausted, and his strength was no longer comparable to Chen Feirong.
He kicked out hard, kicked very high, and also kicked at Mu Shenyun's face.
Mu Shenyun knew that his last hour had come, and he let out a beastly howl of pain again, and his hands were glowing, wanting to tear Lin Xi in half.
However, at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and the light emitted by his hands quickly faded.
Jiang Xiaoyi half-bowed, and the long black knife in his hand had already pierced into his abdomen, stirring fiercely.
At this moment, Mu Shenyun didn't have time to look down, but the cold metal blade that pierced into his body let him know what had happened.
He is the cultivation of a middle-level national scholar, and in the entire Donglin Province, there are few people whose cultivation is above him, but at this moment, facing this low-level cultivator who usually does not enter his eyes at all, all his strength, everything, was reduced to nothing in this moment, seeing the foot that was getting closer and closer to his face, his hands had already stretched out, but he didn't have the strength to stretch out a point further.
"Smack!"
Lin Xi's high kick landed heavily on his face.
"Poof!"
His body fell backwards, the long knife in Jiang Xiaoyi's hand and his abdomen detached, and streams of scarlet blood and broken organs spurted out of his abdomen.
"Kill me... What good results do you have, even if it is me, it is just a small chess piece in the hands of the saint, let alone a small person like you. ”
Mu Shenyun sat down on the ground, gave up covering the huge wound in his abdomen with his hands, looked at Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi, and laughed miserably.
"Someone once told me... Don't be presumptuous, I have listened to it and I have taken it to heart. Jiang Xiaoyi looked at the last expression of the commander of the military supervision department, and the long knife in his hand swung again and slashed at Mu Shenyun's neck.
The sharp blade cut off the flesh and bones, Mu Shenyun's head flew up, and the blood still spurted out of his neck like a fountain, like a scarlet flower blooming in the air, sometimes even if you see it yourself, you won't understand how there is so much blood in a person's body.
Lin Xi watched Mu Shenyun's head fly up and fall, although he didn't like this bloody scene all the time, but at this moment, there was some indescribable happiness in his heart.
He patted Jiang Xiaoyi's shoulder, and his hand fell on the handle of the long black knife in Jiang Xiaoyi's hand.
Jiang Xiaoyi turned his head violently and looked at Lin Xi's eyes, as if he wanted to get an answer from Lin Xi's gaze.
Lin Xi nodded at Jiang Xiaoyi very firmly, Jiang Xiaoyi let go of his hand, Lin Xi held the black long knife, stepped forward, and cut Mu Shenyun's robe with a knife.
Empty, nothing.
He is very meticulous in his work, and even at this time, he has to make the final confirmation.
"Mu Shenyun's house is very large, and it should be very easy to find ordinary clean clothes. You burn all the blood-stained clothes on your body, then change into clean clothes and go out. After Lin Xi made the final confirmation, he did not return the blood-stained black long knife to Jiang Xiaoyi, but looked at his friend and said seriously: "Even if you are intercepted, don't do it, just find a reason, even if you just say that you just can't sleep and walk around, you can definitely not admit that Mu Shenyun was killed by us, it is not okay to say that you killed it, and it is not okay to say that I killed it." ”
Jiang Xiaoyi didn't nod, just looked straight at Lin Xi and said, "What about you?"
"I'll run. Lin Xi said: "As long as they don't get caught red-handed, they have no way at all." ”
Jiang Xiaoyi shook her head, "Let's go together, we want to run away." ”
"It's different, I'm different from you this time. Lin Xi looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, who said no to himself for the first time, looked at Jiang Xiaoyi's eyes, and quickly commented very calmly: "You know, my identity in the eyes of Vice President Xia is different, and because I am the eldest princess recommended to go to Qingluan Academy, there are so many things during this period, I am not the same as you in the eyes of the emperor, in the final analysis, the emperor just wants to see my statement this time." So now that Mu Shenyun is dead, all the spearheads of these people will be pointed at me. They'll do their best to catch me, and they won't care about you. ”
"Because the emperor's meaning is to see if I kill Mu Shenyun, so only when I enter this house, Mu Shenyun can die. If you and I go separately, if they arrest you, you admit that you killed Mu Shenyun and have nothing to do with me, and I run away again, they will expel the emperor's wrath. ”
"In the final analysis, the emperor already thinks that I am a little person who is threatened, and if I make such a choice, he will want to get rid of me. A cold and mocking look appeared on Lin Xi's face, mocking the current emperor!" "The emperor is a master of playing with the rules, and he knows that the only thing that can deal with me is the law of Yun Qin, which is the only place where Vice President Xia and they can't argue, and where they broke with the emperor. But his previous treatment of Mu Shenyun is equivalent to setting a bottom line for him to this rule, and the only evidence is that only by capturing me alive in this assassination can it be proved that Mu Shenyun was killed by me. Those elders and officials in the court will also watch, because they will also be afraid of the emperor's unscrupulousness. So what I said earlier is true, who can prove that I am Lin Xi now? As long as you don't admit it, I don't admit it, unless you catch me tonight, even the emperor can't punish me, and can only continue to play the game with me under the rules. ”
"The academy also knows where the bottom line of this rule is, so it is the dark priests who come, not the people of the academy. ”
Jiang Xiaoyi's hands and feet became a little cold again, and he had already completely figured it out, since Lin Xi walked into this house, the protagonist of tonight has become Lin Xi, and no one else is guilty, only Lin Xi is guilty.
"If you follow me, you should be pressed as an accomplice, don't follow me, but there should be nothing, swaggering out may only have someone to see if you are Lin Xi. Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder again and said softly, "But don't worry... I can guarantee that I definitely didn't lie to you, with my status in the hearts of Vice Dean Xia, even if I am caught, at most the academy will make some concessions, at most I will be unlucky, and it is absolutely impossible for me to die. Also, you've seen some of my instincts, and if I run alone, the success rate is definitely much greater than that of two people. ”
Jiang Xiaoyi had never doubted Lin Xi's words, so he didn't hesitate, a blood in his heart was boiling, and he looked at Lin Xi and nodded, "You be careful." ”
"I'll go first, and we'll see you later. After saying this, Lin Xi waved his hand at Jiang Xiaoyi and quickly flew towards the end of the mansion.
Mu Shenyun broke out of the window, Jiang Xiaoyi and Lin Xi killed Mu Shenyun and fled separately.
During this time, Gao Gongyue, who was standing in the courtyard, did not move.
He is a real powerhouse, as early as a few years ago, in the entire Donglin Province, there were only two cultivators left who could make him jealous, but he knew that the other party was also a real peerless powerhouse.
The rustling sounds that walked through the ground, as if every sound was a strange blade, ready to pierce through the ground and stab him at any moment.
With his perception, he couldn't tell which sound was real and which was fake.
The dark clouds that covered the bright moon in the sky had drifted away, the moon stars were sparse, clear and rainless, but in Gao Gongyue's perception, he was alone in a rainy field, surrounded by surging rain, and every drop of rain was a deadly soul soldier.
He couldn't perceive it, so he didn't dare to move, but kept bursting out the power in his body, protecting the three feet around him, as if he had stretched out an umbrella in the rain.
The smell gushing out of his body was very terrifying, even the ground under him seemed to have turned into a jewel, glowing, and the air outside his body seemed to be all repelled out, and the smell gushing out of his body formed layers of transparent crystal walls outside his body, but his whole body was already in a cold sweat, and even his eyebrows began to sweat.
He couldn't withstand the pressure and consumption of this horror, so he could only strike first. But he didn't want to really face such a terrifying opponent, so Gao Gongyue spoke up: "Even if you defeat me, it's useless, you should know... In this Donglin Province, I dare not call it the first. And that man, he also had to make a move. So it was impossible for Lin Xi to escape. ”
"If you don't try, how do you know?" the hoarse voice like a sandstone sharpening knife sounded again, indescribably calm, "and it has nothing to do with me... All I have to do is make it impossible for you to stop him from leaving. ”
