Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 67 Return Gift
The rain was loud.
Tick-tock kept banging on the ground and the roof of the small courtyard.
It also beats the hearts of everyone.
They looked at Zhang Xingzong's fallen corpse in disbelief, and he died in front of them like this.
There was no warning.
And the culprit of all this, but calmly wiped the blood stains on the sword's body, and frowned slightly, as if he was disgusted by the stinking blood, which stained his sword.
"Bastard!" Meng Ziliang roared angrily, even if he had always been gentle, he couldn't contain the anger in his heart at this time, and wanted to step forward.
It was only before he took his steps that Chu Qingxiao's hand reached over and grabbed him.
Seeing this, Meng Ziliang looked back at Chu Qingxiao in confusion, only to see Chu Qingxiao shaking his head at him at that time.
Gu Yuanhuai raised his eyebrows and looked at the two, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Meng Gongzi, you have to learn more from this Chu Gongzi, you will know how to remember it when you see him suffer." β
"You!" Meng Ziliang's eyes were red, but he finally understood that all this was not something he could change, and after an abrupt roar, his clenched fists finally slowly lowered, and he stood in place in a daze.
Gu Yuanhuai was very satisfied with everyone's performance, he put away his sword and returned it to its sheath, took one last look at everyone, turned around immediately, and left at this time.
The rain is still falling.
The people who stood in the rain lowered their heads and let the torrential rain wash over them.
Everything that happened in this short period of half an hour was a particularly impactful thing for them.
It almost shook the perception of the world by these teenagers and girls.
"I said, clean up for them."
After all, it was Chu Qingxiao who broke the silence, he said softly, looking at the children around him, as well as the corpses of Sanniang and Zhang Xingzong.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the corpses around them, and after a moment of silence, they finally nodded.
β¦β¦
Chu Zhaozhao carried Sanniang's body to the boundary in the inner room that the wind and rain could not blow into, she looked at the woman's cheeks that seemed to be asleep, thinking about the first encounter between the two.
In the afternoon forest of Goshawk Village, they lay on the grass to rest.
She told her a lot, about her past.
The grievance of being framed by a traitor in the family, the determination to cut his cheek, and the despair when there is no hope of redress.
She has obviously experienced so much, but she still can't see the suffering in the world, and she always wants to do something for others.
Such a person should not just die.
She felt unfair.
Feel aggrieved.
The eyes suddenly turned red.
Ziyu walked over at this time, she held the corpse of a child, put it aside from Sanniang, and immediately looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
She thought that she should comfort Chu Zhaozhao, but this idea had just arisen, but she couldn't think of a suitable word to put her idea into practice for a whileβshe was not very good at this after all.
She could only stand silently beside her and accompany her in her own way.
Chu Zhaozhao swallowed a few more times, and finally temporarily suppressed the crying that was rolling in his throat, raised his head and looked around, everyone moved the corpses here, and then he only needed to notify people to come over and bury them alive......
Chu Zhaozhao thought like this, but his brows suddenly frowned, and his eyes swept over everyone again and immediately asked, "What about Qingxiao?" β
Most of the people who were still silent in the atmosphere of grief and indignation were stunned when they heard this, and they also looked up one after another, and carefully searched around the courtyard, all to find Chu Qingxiao's traces.
"Strange, I just saw him here......" someone muttered.
β¦β¦
Gu Yuanhuai was in a good mood.
Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with the mission of transferring from Ningzhou to Cangzhou.
He has been following the case in Ningzhou for half a year, although the pseudo-god is very good at disguise, but he was still caught a little bit, and he saw that the matter was about to come to fruition, but as soon as the above paper was appointed, he handed over the results of his hard work for more than half a year to others.
You must know that it is not easy to catch a pseudo-god or extraterrestrial demon, after all, most of these guys have strange methods.
But they didn't expect this trip to Wancheng to be surprisingly smooth, the Heavenly Demon had just been born extremely weak, and the most surprising thing for them was that the host of the Heavenly Demon was more like a passively completed reincarnation, always retaining a trace of consciousness, and had been trying to fight against the Heavenly Demon in the body.
At the time of the first birth, the children who survived were the best proof of this.
If it is a Heavenly Demon who descends under normal circumstances, it will probably slaughter all blood relatives as soon as possible, so as to complete the first growth, and then go to fulfill the host's long-cherished wish, so as to complete the entire ritual.
But the Heavenly Demon apparently had been violently resisted by the original host when he slaughtered the children, so he kept them alive.
It was from this point that Gu Yuanhuai deduced these things that Gu Yuanhuai captured the Heavenly Demon for the first time and released him, forcing him to complete the first step of the birth ceremony.
What he didn't expect was that even after coming to this point, the original host still showed fierce resistance to the slaughter of those children, especially his own sister, and was even persuaded by the woman at one point.
This made Gu Yuanhuai have to help him.
Although this result did not make the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon complete enough, compared to the fact that it only took less than half a month to obtain a nearly complete star-striped level divine essence, this result was still gratifying enough.
Whether this thing is kept for themselves to be slowly refined, or handed over to the Heavenly Prison Division, Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru can both get benefits that are enough for them to instruct for several years.
With such a thought, the two of them walked briskly, and they had unconsciously walked out of Wancheng for several miles.
For them, staying in that small town full of the smell of horse manure was torture at every moment, and now there is no need to stay.
The rain is still falling, and the water on the official road is very deep.
"The tattered realm, even the rain is so annoying." Xia Jingru muttered.
Gu Yuanhuai said in a deep voice when he heard this: "With this divine essence, Jing Ru is expected to break through the Six Realms within five years, all of them are as powerful as rivers and seas, and they are used to shade the sun and avoid the rain, aren't they all easy things to come by?" β
"...... of the Six Realms" Hearing this, Xia Jingru's eyes flashed with a burst of fire.
The further back of the cultivation path, the more difficult it becomes, both of them are thirty and six, they have been in the Five Realms for a long time, and there is no time to break through the realm, but this divine essence is like a panacea for them, as long as they can be well refined, the Six Realms are indeed just around the corner.
"Speaking of which, it has to be Master Gu's clever calculation, and it won't be so easy if you don't let this trip go." Xia Jingru said at this time, her tone was a little soft, and there was a faint flow of autumn water between her eyebrows when she looked at Gu Yuanhuai.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanhuai's heart was hot, of course, he was a little moved, and he was about to say something.
Tick.
Tick.
But at this moment, a sound similar to the sound of rain when it landed, but with a subtle difference, came from not far away.
The difference was extremely subtle, and with this heavy rain, if it weren't for Gu Yuanhuai's cultivation to the Five Realms, he really wouldn't be able to hear it clearly.
His heart was startled, and at this moment, he turned his head to look at the place where the voice had come, and saw that outside the dense rain curtain, a broken sword was spinning, cutting through the rain grains and shooting towards him.
His brows furrowed, a hand stretched out at this moment, the spiritual power on his arm surged, and he grasped it towards the air, and the broken sword that came was firmly held into his hand at this moment.
Zheng!
The body of the broken sword trembled slightly, and it seemed that he was a little unwilling to be held by Gu Yuanhuai, but this tremor soon came to a standstill.
The corners of Gu Yuanhuai's mouth showed a smile: "Carving insect skills." β
He said this, but as soon as he finished speaking, a long black sword struck through the rain curtain at his face at an astonishing speed.
The smile on Gu Yuanhuai's face retracted, and he shouted in a low voice: "Look for death!" β
The spiritual power in his body exploded, and the surrounding rain curtain was also shaken by that spiritual power, and the rain particles burst one after another, turning into a cloud of mist.
The force enveloped in the mist made the body of the master of the black long sword tremble, and the attack slowed down a lot.
Gu Yuanhuai threw out the broken sword in his hand, and that hand passed through the rain curtain and held the attacking long sword again with his body.
The owner of the long sword obviously didn't expect Gu Yuanhuai's reaction to be so fast, his arm exerted force, and he wanted to pull out the long sword, but the sword body was held by Gu Yuanhuai, and no matter how hard he could, he couldn't twitch it for half a minute.
"I praised Mr. Chu for being a person who understands current affairs, but I didn't expect me to look down on you." Gu Yuanhuai stared at the comer at this time and said in a cold voice.
Chu Qingxiao's face was ugly, he looked at the man in front of him angrily, and gritted his teeth and scolded: "Don't make a lot of nonsense there!" A thug like you who kills innocents indiscriminately is no different from a pig or a dog! β
"I, Chu Qingxiao, am bright and upright, what does it have to do with me if someone like you looks up or down!?"
"What a bright and upright one!" Chu Qingxiao's words undoubtedly angered Gu Yuanhuai, he snorted coldly, and his other hand slapped towards Chu Qingxiao's abdomen at this time, and a huge force bombarded him,
Chu Qingxiao's body retreated a few feet at this time, and finally relied on inserting the long sword into the ground and pulling out a few feet long gap in the ground before he could stop his violent retreat.
But Rao was like this, his face had become extremely pale, and a mouthful of blood sword spurted out of his mouth.
"Chu Qingxiao, I see that in your identity as a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, I have already let you go once, don't think that with the support of Tianhang Mountain, you can really be unscrupulous!"
"This is my last chance for you, if you get entangled again, I will kill you!"
Gu Yuanhuai said this, and a cold light surged in his eyes.
But Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, was silent, just pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and stood up straight with some difficulty.
"Well, I felt Lord Gu's magnanimity." He said very seriously at this time, but the corners of his mouth suddenly opened, revealing a bright smile.
"So, as a return gift......"
"When I kill the two of them, I promise to do my best to make them die happily!"
As he spoke, his other hand slowly raised, and he held a golden object the size of a grain of rice in his palm.
"Huh?" Seeing that Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru were both facing each other, Gu Yuanhuai looked at his chest for the first time, only to see that the clothes there were torn at some point.
His heart trembled, and he immediately reacted, Chu Qingxiao's feint attack was not to really hurt him, but to take this opportunity to take away the essence of the spirit he put in his arms.
This is what he did with all his calculations, and it was taken away by Chu Qingxiao at this moment, and he finally couldn't maintain the light breeze on the surface.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was even more bruised, and he looked at Chu Qingxiao at that time, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Chu Qingxiao! Do you know you're looking for death? β
Chu Qingxiao didn't care about the threat in his words at all, just raised the divine essence high and shook it towards Gu Yuanhuai defiantly.
"Want?"
"Then take it by your ability."
He said this and smiled slightly.
The hand holding the essence of the god passed it to his mouth, only to hear a grunt, and the essence of the god was swallowed by him in his belly.
