Chapter 171: Top Gun
On the deserted long street, a man with a tall figure in his arms, holding a pale woman with bloodshot lips in his arms, walked slowly forward.
On the road, the guards of the Imperial Capital City, who were dormant on both sides of the road, saw the man, and they all stood in awe, put their right fists on their chests, and paid the highest respect to the man.
It wasn't until the man walked into the maple tower that the guards who didn't even dare to breathe took to the street. It seemed that the man's aftermath was still in the air, and the guards on the entire street did not speak, and even when they were cleaning up the dead bodies of Longyuan Pavilion, they had been silent.
In the lounge on the first floor of the Feng Building, Shangguan Weifeng, Ghost-Eyed Mother-in-law and other people were all guarding the entrance of the lounge.
When the door of the lounge opened, Duanmu Qinglian walked out of the inside, and a swarm of people rushed forward.
"Is the beautiful woman Ye Feng brought back okay?" Shangguan Weifeng leaned over to Duanmu Qinglian's side and asked with concern.
Duanmu Qinglian nodded slightly, and could be regarded as answering Shangguan Weifeng's words. Seeing that he answered like this, everyone still seemed to be full of questions, and Duanmu Qinglian said softly: "It's okay, the injury suffered by that young lady is not serious. But I really don't understand what is going on with the people of Yin Shang, why they would rather practice exercises that are particularly harmful to their bodies, but also improve their skills. ”
"That young lady's condition is similar to He Huan's, and almost all the meridians in her body are gone. Her injury this time was just an opportunity to trigger her own injury, even if she was treated in time, I am afraid that she would become a waste person who could not cultivate for the rest of her life!" Duanmu Qinglian explained.
"Shhh
It was just that He Huan was desperately cultivating, after all, he himself was a relatively ruthless person who was indifferent to life and death. But everyone never thought that Lianqiao, a girl who looked innocent and lovely, would choose such a path of no return.
Let a Sword Emperor powerhouse not be able to cultivate from now on and become a wasted person, which makes everyone feel very sorry. They couldn't imagine what would become of Lian Qiao once she knew that she would not be able to cultivate for the rest of her life.
"Jiang Ziwei, what is the relationship between Ye Feng and Lianqiao? I saw Ye Feng's face just now is not good, could it be that they are ......" Shangguan Weifeng smiled strangely, bent his thumb and made a very dirty gesture.
Shangguan Weifeng's free and easy personality and Jiang Ziwei's fight is also because of the same smell, and the two have known each other for a few days, and they get acquainted.
Seeing Shangguan Weifeng being so filthy, Jiang Ziwei also responded with a wicked and strange smile.
He lowered his voice and said, "Lianqiao and Boss Ye have known each other for many years. When Boss Ye was still a sword master, Lianqiao and her master Chen Nanzhu already had a good relationship with Boss Ye. For so many years, Lianqiao has always had a crush on Boss Ye, if it weren't for Chen Nanzhu being used by the Lotus Mountain lineage and eventually becoming the enemy of Yin Shangguo, I'm afraid that Boss Ye and Lianqiao really have a chance to come together. ”
Jiang Ziwei's explanation made Luo Hu, who was full of doubts, and Duanmu Qingpian and everyone relieved. It's just that although they already knew that Ye Feng and Lianqiao had a great relationship, they still felt very puzzled when they thought of the cold aura emanating from Ye Feng's body when he came back with Lianqiao.
Luo Hu is the person who has known Ye Feng for the longest time among everyone, and he is also the most familiar with Ye Feng. From Jiang Ziwei's words, he had already judged that the affection between Ye Feng and Lianqiao had always been unrequited love.
Luo Hu knew in his heart that with Ye Feng's resolute character, once he decided, no one could change it, and if Ye Feng really liked Lianqiao, he would never give up his inner love because Lianqiao was an external thing like the identity of a maid and her master was an enemy of Yin Shangguo.
"What was the reason that Ye Feng's expression was so gloomy and his body exuded such a cold aura when he returned?" Luo Hu secretly speculated in his heart, although his mind was meticulous, he still couldn't guess what Ye Feng really thought for a while.
In the lounge, the lotus Qiao, who was moistened by the energy of the Taiyi Divine Wood, gradually returned to its former ruddy complexion. Lying on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep, looking calm and quiet.
On the chair on the side of the bed, Ye Feng sat upright. Looking at Lianqiao, who had only stretched out his tightly knit brows in his sleep, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The exercises practiced by Lianqiao were more domineering than the exercises that He Huan cultivated, which were close to self-harm. He Huan can also rely on the power of the Taiyi Divine Wood to restore his heyday, but due to the serious loss of meridians, even if he is nourished by the vibrant energy of the Taiyi Divine Wood, he can only save his life and cannot recover his former strength again.
For a Sword Emperor powerhouse, there is nothing more cruel in the world than the destruction of a body's meridians to the point where it is impossible to cultivate. For a strong man who is eager to step into the pinnacle of kendo, this kind of ending is no different from life than death.
After Ye Feng found out about Lianqiao's injury, his expression was gloomy, and his body exuded a cold aura, because in Lianqiao's body, he once again saw the human beings who had many disasters and tribulations, and how small his strength was.
He could guess that Lianqiao was sparing no effort to cultivate in order to help Chen Nanzhu take revenge. It's just that he feels sorry for Lianqiao and feels unworthy. The deceased are gone, and those who survive have to do more than just take revenge, but also live well. Thinking that hatred had made an innocent and romantic girl a weapon that only knew how to kill, Ye Feng felt more and more that the task of reviving the Yin Shang Kingdom and even the ten southeastern countries became arduous and heavy.
Only Cathay Pacific can make the people safe. Only when people live and work in peace and contentment can the killing and suffering be reduced. This was the biggest shock to Ye Feng's mind since he destroyed Lotus Mountain.
At this moment, he secretly swore in his heart that with him, he would never allow forces similar to Lotus Mountain to appear in the ten southeastern countries, nor would he allow any tragedy like Lotus Qiao to happen.
"Maybe you'll be happier than ever after you lose your vitality. Now that Lotus Mountain has been destroyed, all your great revenge has been avenged, from now on, you will be an ordinary person, find an honest man to marry, and maybe you will also live a good life. Ye Feng sat at the head of the bed and said softly.
After saying this, he bent down to help Lian Qiao cover the quilt, stood up, and walked straight out of the room.
In the room, Lianqiao, who was sleeping, suddenly trembled slightly with her eyelashes. Two bean-sized tears flowed down her eyes and dripped onto the pillow.
Lianqiao seems to be asleep, but in fact she is just faking to sleep. Even if Ye Feng didn't say it, she knew that her skills were ruined. The reason why she didn't open her eyes was because she didn't know how to face Ye Feng and what to say to Ye Feng when she woke up.
"Ye Feng, from now on, we will no longer be people from the same world. Just like you said, maybe if I marry an honest man, that's the ultimate destination!" said Lian Qiao to herself. She couldn't bear the bitterness and grievances in her heart anymore, covered her face with her hands, and cried bitterly.
In the rest hall on the second floor of the Feng Building, Ye Feng, He Huan, Jiang Ziwei and others sat scattered, occupying the chairs in the room.
Seeing Ye Feng bowing his head and pondering, without saying a word, Jiang Ziwei couldn't help but ask: "Boss Ye, what kind of kung fu is Lian Qiao cultivating, how is it more domineering than Boss He's kung fu, and self-injury is more serious." ”
Ye Feng raised his head, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know what kind of kung fu it is. However, from Lianqiao's original strange vitality fluctuations, I could feel that it was an extremely strange, agile and fluttering energy. If I'm not mistaken, she should have also had some adventures after leaving Yin Shang Kingdom and practiced a magical exercise. ”
"Agile and ethereal vitality?" Xiao Bai, who was sitting on a chair on the side of the room, repeated softly.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, he shook his head and said, "Just from the literal words, I can't tell what kind of exercises Lianqiao is cultivating. However, as far as I know, a hundred years ago, it was like a flash in the pan in the ten southeastern countries, and a powerful genius appeared. ”
"It took four and a half years for that genius sword cultivator to advance from a swordsman to a sword venerable powerhouse. However, since he became a Sword Venerable, he has mysteriously disappeared. Later, after many investigations by Sword Venerable powerhouses, it was learned that it was precisely because the genius man had cultivated a technique that caused extremely serious self-injury that after he was promoted to become a Sword Venerable powerhouse, all his meridians were destroyed and he became a wasted person. Xiao Bai explained.
"Is there such a weird technique in this world?" Shangguan Weifeng couldn't help but exclaim.
Leaving aside the self-injurious effect of this exercise, the mere fact that it can make a swordsman become a Sword Venerable in four and a half years is enough to make people mad.
Some people are limited to their talents, and they can't become a Sword Emperor powerhouse in their lifetime. However, if you have this exercise, everything will be different, and those who have no hope of advancing to become the Sword Emperor in their lives will most likely use this to break through and cultivate to a higher level.
Of course, the side effects of practicing this exercise, self-injury, should not be ignored either. However, for those swordsmen who have no hope of advancing for life, a little backlash will not make them take it to heart. If a thousand ninth-level peak swordsmen with slightly inferior talents who cannot break through the Sword Emperor realm choose, I am afraid that at least nine hundred and ninety-nine people will resolutely choose to harm themselves at the cost of promoting themselves to become Sword Emperor powerhouses.
Hearing Xiao Bai's explanation, Ye Feng's eyes burst out with Dao essence. At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart, to use that set of magical exercises to set up a death squad that was enough to protect the ten southeastern countries and enough to compete with a behemoth like the Haoran Sword Sect.
Ye Feng believed that as long as he leaked the news that he would be able to make the ninth-level peak Sword King advance to the Sword Emperor, there would definitely be countless cultivators from the Ten Southeast Kingdoms who would rush to join the death squad. And once this team is established, it will definitely become the most powerful team in the Yin Shang Kingdom and even the ten southeastern countries.
