43. Arrogance

The man in black does have the qualifications to be proud.

Because this move, "Snake Letter", was the most difficult sword move to practice in the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique", but he still succeeded.

You must know that in the entire Zhang family, there are less than ten people who have practiced this trick "snake letter" to the fullest!

Although the man in black has not yet reached the level of Dacheng, the power of this move is far from being able to be taken by Ye Xuan today.

He was like a black viper, firmly locked on to his prey, and the sword that stabbed out was like the venom spit out by a viper.

Seeing that this sword qi that broke through the air was about to penetrate the back of Ye Xuan's heart, a cruel smile appeared on the face of the man in black.

Die!

He seemed to have seen the scene where Ye Xuan's heart was instantly shattered by the sword qi and then fell to the ground.

He thought of the promise made to him by the head of the Zhang family, and he was extremely excited in his heart at the moment!

"Shaft, you dare!"

At this moment, an angry roar erupted like thunder on the ground.

The roar rolled like thunder.

The man in black actually had a trance at this moment, and he stumbled a few steps unsteadily, but after all, he was also a martial artist who had stepped into the innate realm, and he would not be frightened by such a sudden.

It's just that in his eyes, he can no longer maintain the calm he used to be, and the horror is clearly visible.

And the sword qi that shot towards Ye Xuan had disappeared at some point.

On the ground, a shallow pit spread out more than a dozen inches of cracks.

And next to this shallow pit, there is a long mark about a few inches deep that extends into the distance.

Obviously, at the moment when the man in black was unsteady just now, another sword qi shot from a distance, crushing the sword qi of the man in black.

Glancing at the shallow pit on the ground, the man in black knew that he was no match for the other party at all.

The collision of this energy will inevitably produce a kind of impact blasting, in addition to the louder sound, the power will even affect the surroundings.

Judging by the man in black, this impact would definitely affect Ye Xuan.

But!

At this moment, Ye Xuan was unscathed, and it was obvious that the impact of the strength just now had not affected him at all!

To be able to do this, the man in black knew that he was definitely not an opponent.

So, almost without thinking, he turned around and fled in the direction of the cold mountain.

"Where to run!"

The roaring roar came again, followed by a gray figure rushing towards it, and the monstrous killing intent rose into the sky as if it were substance!

The speed of the person who came was very fast, and every time he stepped forward, he would advance hundreds of meters, and every time he touched the ground under his feet, there would be a sense of vibration, and the ground was directly shaken out of the spider web-like cracks.

Seeing that this person had only been a few breaths, he had already approached behind the man in black, which made the man in black have to turn around and fight back.

He knew very well that if he didn't have to fight and completely exposed his back to the other party, then his fate would definitely be miserable.

The sword flashed, and the soft sword in the hand of the man in black became like a poisonous snake again, stabbing out from the armpit backwards at an extremely tricky angle, directly attacking the person behind him.

But the gray shadow snorted coldly, and saw a sword suddenly burst out.

This piece of sword light was like a flash in the pan, but it suddenly burst out, and the next second it disappeared abruptly.

But the man in black flew out with a muffled snort, and at the same time, there were multiple wounds on his body splattered with blood.

Just once, it's already a seriously injured body!

Looking at the back of the gray figure, Ye Xuan's eyes showed a look of surprise, this person was actually Lu Jie!

"Second uncle?" Ye Xuan shouted, although his face was a little surprised, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and at the same time, he quietly put away the few flying knives on his right hand.

These flying knives were specially ordered by the blacksmiths in the city, and they were all high-density fine iron flying knives.

On the Tian Yuan Continent, except for the three-order weapons of heaven, earth, and man, the other weapons are all divided into nine ranks. The main way to distinguish these nine ranks is the materials used in the manufacture of weapons, of course, some weapons use slightly inferior materials, but the way of building is more special, and it can also get a relatively good evaluation.

This fine iron is generally used to build sixth-class weapons.

Ye Xuan only asked someone to create these flying knives, and he spent almost all of his silver taels.

Therefore, throwing the flying knife with his right hand in a rain-filled manner has become a hole card for Ye Xuan.

With Ye Xuan's ability, he naturally knew that the speed of the man in black was definitely above him, and if he ran away, he would definitely be easily caught up by the other party, and when the time came, his back would be exposed to the other party's attack range, what a terrible thing it was.

But Ye Xuan still dared to do this, naturally he was sure of it.

Of course, the consequence is likely to be that he will be seriously injured again.

However, between death and serious injury, Ye Xuan would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he would be so lucky to meet Lu Jie.

"Li'er, are you okay?" Lu Jie turned his head and asked.

Although Lu Jie's face still maintained a smile at this moment, this smile was very stiff, and it was completely lacking in the usual kindness. Even, although he tried his best to hide and hide, the rich murderous intent in his eyes still made Ye Xuan feel a palpitation.

He has walked on this Tianyuan Continent for so many years, and he has met many people, but there are no more than ten people who can be compared with Lu Jie in terms of murderous aura!

How much blood has been stained with these hands to form such a terrifying killing intent!

"It's fine. Ye Xuan shook his head and said softly.

Lu Jie nodded, then turned his head to look at the man in black who was lying a few meters away, and stepped over: "The Spirit Snake Sword Technique, the Snake Letter and the Ringtail are all six or seven percent hot, and they must be the core members of the Zhang family." ”

Lu Jie's pace was not big, and his speed was not fast, he walked over slowly, but every foot fell into it, but it made people feel a strong fear, as if every step fell on the other party's heart, eating away at the other party's flesh and blood little by little.

Ye Xuan knew that Lu Jie was gathering momentum!

Looking down at the weapon held in Lu Jie's right hand, Ye Xuan's gaze fluctuated again: The unsheathed Qingfeng Sword!

The blade was like snow, without a trace of impurities, and the blade was sharp without a single chip.

It can be seen that Lu Jie has done a very good job in the maintenance of the Qingfeng Sword.

Whether it was Ye Xuan or the man in black, they all knew very well what it meant for the Qingfeng Sword to be unsheathed.

It's just that compared to Ye Xuan's surprise, the face of the man in black showed a look of disbelief and horror.

"Breeze Sword...... No, you can't do that!" The man in black tried his best to retreat, but the injuries on his body were too serious, he only struggled a few times, and before he climbed a few meters, he couldn't move at all, and could only look at Lu Jie who was walking towards him in horror.

"Can't?" Lu Jie raised his eyebrows, and then stood in front of the man in black, "Why?"

"Because...... Because ......" The man in black's brain was running rapidly, looking at Lu Jie, who was full of anger and cold eyes, the man in black finally realized the sense of death threat he inflicted on Ye Xuan just now, "Because I and Lu Li are of the same generation, we are just competing." As an elder, you can't do it privately, otherwise...... Otherwise, the elders of my Zhang family will definitely not give up!"

In the battle of peers, the elders are not allowed to act at will.

It's an unwritten rule.

But whether it was Cold Water City, or even the entire Tian Yuan Continent, the vast majority of people acquiesced to this rule.

Especially those big sects and big families, in their opinion, this is a "face" problem. If a disciple is bullied, but the elders come forward, then there is no doubt that this sect and family will inevitably lose face, and at their level, the face problem is one of the most important issues.

So!

If Lu Jie made a move on the black-clothed imp of the Zhang family, it would be a violation of the rules.

This is also the reason why the man in black would intercept and kill Ye Xuan in the suburbs, but he didn't dare to be in the city.

Because there are too many scruples in the city, only here in the suburbs can you have no scruples.

"You mean, if I kill you, the Zhang family will come to me for trouble?" Lu Jie looked down at the pale-faced man, who could almost be said to be out of breath and out of breath and in little air.

"Yes...... Yes!" The man in black said, "I, I am the descendant of the Zhang family. And...... And if you kill me, then your Lu family's disciples will definitely face my current situation. Because this is a rule, and the rules cannot be broken! Lu Li and I are just a peer dispute. ”

"I see. Lu Jie nodded.

Seeing that Lu Jie's killing intent began to subside, the man in black finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was very scared just now, even in all the years of training, he had never been so close to death.

But just now......

He really felt like he was going to die.

Although he is seriously injured at the moment, as long as he does not die now, he still has hope of living.

"So, can I go?" said the man in black, holding back the pain on his body.

"Yes. Lu Jie nodded again, "I'll send you." ”

"Huh?" the man in black was a little confused.

But when he raised his head again, he saw a bright light suddenly erupt in front of him.

After the sword disappeared, the head of the man in black had been cut off, and he rolled on the ground several times in succession, his eyes still puzzled.

Looking at the body of the man in black, Lu Jie's voice was calm, but his tone was indescribably arrogant, "Don't worry, I will let those who come to me for trouble, I will let them go down to accompany you." ”

After saying that, Lu Jie turned his head, the smile on his face was no longer stiff, and the evil in his eyes disappeared without a trace: "Li'er, I've kept you waiting, let's go home." ”

"Second uncle, you kill him, if the Zhang family ......" Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Zhang family, I never put it in my eyes!" Lu Jie snorted disdainfully, "When you were injured, the people of the Lu family didn't even look at you, what does it have to do with me when they went to find trouble with other Lu family children......?"

After a pause, he said, "Until you can protect yourself, I won't leave Cold Water City again!"
