Chapter 181: The Other Self
The red-robed young man clasped his palms together, and Lin Luqing's figure standing with a sword disappeared.
Dressed in red, clusters of flames suddenly rose, blooming like flower buds.
In an instant, more than a dozen black-clothed assassins struck out at the same time, in all directions, like snowflakes still driven by a storm.
The red clothes shook, and in the center of the chest of the swallowing sky, a whirlpool that kept rotating suddenly appeared, and his whole person became illusory, rotating with the whirlpool, at this moment, whether it was a weapon, a magic weapon, or a killer who was originally murderous, it was like an ant who accidentally fell into the whirlpool, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.
In the blink of an eye, there were already thirty killers who had been drawn into it by that terrible attraction.
The whirlpool dissipated, and the figure of the young man in red was clear again, but the group of killers was gone.
"Poof...... the boy spat out something, frowned, and then smiled coldly at the group of people standing in the rain.
The thing on the ground shimmered with a cold metallic luster, and when someone with good eyesight looked at it, he immediately sent chills down his spine. The thing that was swallowed up by the sky turned out to be a fragment of a weapon, that is to say, the group of people just now were all eaten by that young man.
With a heavy step on both feet, he smashed the dirt under his feet into a small pit, and his sky-swallowing body flashed like an arrow, and his hands turned into shadow-like black fingers and claws, and he slammed into the formation.
The flying sword saw the slightest, and the wisps drilled into his seven orifices, and it was like a thriving tree, growing out of the human body.
Swallowing the sky and waving its fingers and claws, like a ghost wielding a scythe under the moonlit night, the killer let out a terrible scream, blood flowed everywhere, and the remnants were all over the ground.
Swallowing the sky pierced the chest of a killer with a claw, and as a result, the martial artist was stunned when he was about to die, and he used the sword in his hand to slash hard.
Chen Tanjing screamed, and his whole body was trembling.
Swallowing Heaven shook his head, the shocking wound that had been cut by the sharp blade was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Swallowing Heaven held the heart tightly, the man's mouth kept vomiting blood, Swallowing Heaven took a step closer, grabbed the black ghost face, and ripped it off violently.
Under the mask, there is a vicissitudes of life, covered with tiny stubble, and wrinkles, and his face has become extremely white because of severe blood loss. Peddler.
"It's you." Swallowing the sky was stunned for a moment, and blurted out.
Not only did the people around him not understand, but even Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing at the threshold were confused, he knew the killer?
With a thud, a blood flower exploded in the killer's chest, and Devouring quickly withdrew his arm, allowing the lifeless corpse to fall to the rain-soaked ground.
That is, with this turning effort, dozens of sharp knives pierced into the center of the heaven-swallowing body.
There was no blood, the young man's expression was indifferent, as if the pain in this body had nothing to do with him, the dozen or so assassins surrounded him, clenched the weapon and suddenly exerted force, but even if the body was pierced into a sieve, the young man didn't even blink.
Chen Dongyou was about to rush out of the inn, but he was scolded by Swallowing the Sky: "Don't come here, I'm fine, protect Xia Ze and Chen Tanjing."
The words were flat, this was the most neat time to swallow the sky, and it was also the most strange time that Chen Dongyou felt him, he stomped his feet and had to retreat to the eaves.
Swallowing Heaven moved slightly, but only raised his hand slightly, and the dozen or so assassins suddenly felt like they were facing a great enemy, and they all tried to finish him off with the sharp weapons in their hands. Swallowing Heaven just stretched out his hand, grabbed the mask of the person in front of him, and removed it, the immature face hidden under the mask was panicked, as if the secret that had been hidden for a long time was made public.
The killer in front of him was a young man, he panicked and took out a short-bladed sword from his arms and stabbed it into Swallow Tian's chest, and then suddenly raised his head, but Swallow Heaven didn't even blink his eyes, and even looked at him and laughed.
Swallowing Heaven stretched out his hand, as if to hug him, but the sharp claws pierced the killer's chest, lifting the boy high.
The boy wept and trembled in pain, and as he spat blood out of his mouth, trembling and pleading, "Please
...... Please...... Leave me alone, I'm a good person......
"You are a good person, there are no good people in this world." Swallowing Sky squinted and smiled.
The next moment, the whirlpool resurfaced, and the people around saw that the situation was not good, and they threw down their weapons and were about to flee, but the domineering whirlpool that could no longer be domineering actually sucked in all the rain within three zhang.
Nothing could escape that maelstrom, empty, with no one left alive. When Swallowing Heaven's figure reappeared in everyone's sight, his figure seemed to be a little shorter, and Swallowing Heaven took a step, feeling the lingering vertigo in his mind, and then took a step back.
The flying sword saw the slightest, in this meeting, it had killed nearly a hundred people, and at this moment it was under the skin and flesh of an old man, in the metacarpal bones, squirming wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a bunch of misty branches opened.
The old man endured the severe pain, flipped it over casually, and offered a sword lock talisman, and was just about to lock the flying sword into the talisman, but the result was that the brake was slightly on the brake, becoming as small as a cow's hair, and swishing into the old man's eyebrows.
There was a cold corpse on the ground, and a flying sword came out of the forehead wound, and the next moment someone picked up the soaked sword talisman and rushed forward.
The flying sword flickered, splitting the yellow rune in two, but before it could use that free-sized supernatural power again, a birdcage-like confinement appeared around it, locking it in.
The crowd began to burst into wild laughter, and even the daring ones threw the "birdcage" to the ground and kicked it around.
Seeing this scene, Swallow Heaven pursed his lips, but did not rush forward to save him, although he and the flying sword were equal to one hundred enemies, but the number of this group of thieves was still rising.
And he is still approaching this inn, as long as he maintains this body, he can't use all his strength, but once the true body of the big demon appears, this piece of the street, I'm afraid it will be affected and destroyed.
"That's it." Lin Luqing's voice, like the mercy rain of the dry sky, sounded in the ears of Swallowing Heaven.
Swallowing the sky nodded, her sleeves fluttered, the girl's figure gradually became clear, and the majestic sword qi that burst out from the graceful figure in a moment actually made the sky rain down, showing a trend of flying upside down.
Swallowing Heaven suddenly retreated under the eaves, and in the shocked eyes of Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing, he gradually changed back to the original red-robed little boy.
"Tuntian...... Are you okay......" Chen Tanjing was a little flustered and asked cautiously.
Chen Dongyou tugged at Chen Tanjing's sleeve and signaled her not to be too troublesome.
"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Swallowing Sky turned his head, his face full of questions.
Chen Tanjing and Chen Dongyou both breathed a sigh of relief, this kid is normal, but how do you feel, not stupid? It's not like that silly boy who is silly as long as there is a rock sugar gourd.
"If you don't help Sister Lin, is it really okay? There are so many of them." Chen Tanjing said worriedly.
Swallowing Heaven shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I walk more slowly, I'm afraid she will cut me down."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing were a little incredulous.
The girl stood in the middle of the heavy rain, but not even a single corner of her clothes was wet by the rain, if the three of them stood opposite Lin Luqing like those killers, they could see those golden eyes, like the eyes of the gods in a cold and blink of an eye.
I don't know when, the girl who didn't move, like a dream, like electricity, like a shadow, obviously Lin Luqing was just motionless there, but all the killers, at that moment, felt as if something was killing them.
One of the killers noticed a chill on his chest, and as a result, the mask on his face slipped off smoothly, and the indifferent girl in front of him slowly put his sword back into its sheath. Blood and pain bloomed in unison at that moment, and without the first two, he would even suspect that everything in front of him was just a big dream, and then he fell to the ground and died quietly.
Not only him, but on the street, more than five hundred people fell down with a brush, and their faces were so stunned before they died, but it was clear that the girl just stood in place and waved her sword lightly.
At that moment, it was both true and false, and I could even smell the good end of the girl's hair
The smell of the blue musk fragrance, the incarnation outside the body?
Nearly five hundred people were killed with one sword, and the people present at this moment were afraid that no one would suspect that this girl was a sword cultivator, and what was even more frightening was that she was also from Tianlan Mountain, which had always been resolute in handling things.
When Lin Luqing swung his sword again, there were already countless killers who had retreated with fierce fighting intent and turned to flee, but in the eyes of the thousand people who wanted to escape, a cold girl standing with a sword appeared in front of him, like a god who was slaughtering.
Lin Luqing was still standing in place, holding the duckweed grass in both hands, there were raindrops that could penetrate that layer of sword qi and fall on the sword edge, and the girl lit up with white light in one hand, caressing the sword blade.
Wang Ping, the shopkeeper in the inn, and his companions, looked at the group of people with crazy expressions, everyone looked frightened, regardless of whether they waved the sharp weapons and blades in their hands, and no matter who was around, they sacrificed all the life-saving magic powers together, as if they were fighting to the death with some invisible monster.
Lin Luqing finally swung a sword again, this time, even through the rain, Chen Dongyou and the others saw the invisible sword, and the killers on the street, unaware of it at the moment, were still fighting to the death with that imaginary enemy.
The rain stopped.
The clouds were still there, but the rain seemed to have been suppressed by an ancient god, with supreme majesty.
The scene in front of you will definitely be deeply imprinted in the hearts of onlookers. On the streets, hundreds of people lay down, all of them had an exaggerated wound on their chests, but there was no blood flowing out, and the strange thing was that everyone who died under the sword had very different expressions on their faces, some kept a hideous smile on their faces, some were weeping and wailing, and some were terrified.
Swordsmanship is famous, and all living beings are in the same place.
All the people died under this sword, but the girl did not seem to stop, she suddenly turned around, and looked at everyone in the inn, her eyes were cold, like a cold snake staring at its prey, or rather, a god looking down on a small ant.
"Oh no!" Swallowing Tian was the first to react, his sleeves shook, and he threw the few people who were stunned in place into the inn.
Chen Dongyou hugged Chen Tanjing and fell backwards, but Wang Ping and the two guys didn't know what the situation was, so they were thrown away by a force.
At the same time, Swallowing Heaven had already killed the inn, his breath was steaming, he wanted to knock her down before Lin Luqing really slashed out that sword, as for Xia Ze's blame afterwards, he couldn't care about it, whether he could stop Lin Luqing was one thing, but if he couldn't stop her, it meant that everyone would die.
But Lin Luqing's sword was faster than expected, swallowing the sky in front of her eyes, obviously she was still standing still, but there was a figure exactly the same as one, and a sword stabbed out.
At the original foothold, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, but after shaking the sword, the whirlpool was divided into two, and then dispersed into a turbulent aura, and in it, there was a red figure, snorted, flew out upside down, and slammed down on the threshold of the inn.
"Tuntian!" Chen Tanjing stepped forward quickly, anxiously wanting to check Swallowing Heaven's injuries.
As a result, Swallow Tian pushed her away and rushed out again, on his chest, there was a sword aura, like a restless hot oil on an iron pot, still eroding his body, healing his wound aura, and he was invincible against it, and through that wound, he could see a heart that was constantly beating.
Swallowing Heaven felt the danger of dying for the first time, he was almost dead a little bit before, and Xia Ze, who was closely related to him, was also implicated, he knew that Lin Luqing had spent so long to sacrifice such a terrifying move, he might as well simply show his true body.
Swallowing Heaven took a deep breath and was about to release his true body, but Lin Luqing was obviously one step faster than her, that figure was like a candle blown out by the wind, and the sword light was going, obviously wanting to cut off the head of Swallowing Heaven.
But the next moment, the figure that was like a white rainbow, for some reason, was like quicksand in the wind, and it dispersed little by little, and the strange Lin Luqing in the distance suddenly stopped.
There was a person beside Swallow Heaven, he raised his head, first with great joy, and then the smile on his face suddenly froze.
The young man next to him looked the same as Xia Ze, but he was wearing a robe full of stars, and the stars in the robe were still circulating
, He smiled and said to Lin Luqing in the distance, "Okay, that's enough."
Lin Luqing, who was like a god, heard this, the coldness in his eyes, the ice and snow melted, and the glow in his eyes dispersed, and his body was crooked, and he looked like he was about to fall to the ground.
That strange Xia Ze came to her side at some point, hugged Lin Luqing in his arms, and walked towards Swallowing Heaven step by step.
"Out of the sheath?" The Sky Swallowing Fox was suspicious.
The demon clan is different from ordinary people, and the perception of good and evil thoughts in people's hearts is much more sensitive, so it often appears that incarnated monsters go to the road and learn from people how to behave. The Xia Ze in front of him made him feel no killing intent, but it didn't mean that the person in front of him was no threat to him, this Xia Ze was definitely not the Xia Ze he knew.
"It's out of the sheath, so rest assured." The man laughed.
The moment Swallow Tian just touched his eyes, it was as if he had been frozen, and he didn't move, this person could read minds, and those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, everything was clear. And I can't find a word that can describe his appearance, as if he were standing there, and he was the only lord in the world, in heaven and on earth.
The sleeping Lin Luqing was put in the hands of Swallowing Heaven by him, and at this time, Swallowing Heaven walked out of his stunned mind, only to see that person's appearance dissolving little by little, becoming the Xia Ze he was familiar with, but those eyes seemed to be still looking at him.
"Eat hard, just like you did 10,000 years ago, eat everything."
Swallowing the sky and covering his head desperately, to resist the proverb like a bell.
In the inn, a square seal suddenly smashed out, like a meteor, and it was about to smash through the person's face, but for some reason, it hovered firmly in front of him, and the last bit of breath was gone.
But the unbelievable scenes that happened before are like a terrifying story, deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Xia Ze silently walked to Swallow Heaven's side, rubbed Swallow Heaven's head, and smiled softly in his eyes, "It's very good."
Swallowing Tian suddenly felt a great grievance welling up in his heart, and hugged Xia Ze crying.
"It's okay...... it's okay," Xia Ze hugged his head and whispered comfortingly.
In the end, Swallowing Heaven blended into Xia Ze's body little by little, Xia Ze picked up the unconscious Lin Luqing, walked upstairs to a guest room, put her on the bed, covered her with futon, and then walked out of the house.
Chen Tanjing and Chen Dongyou were already waiting outside the house, and she couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Childe, Tun Tian and Sister Lin, ...... they?"
Xia Ze couldn't help pinching the faces of these two little guys, and said with a smile: "Swallowing Heaven is a little injured, if you want to cultivate in my Qi Mansion for a while, it's not a big deal, as for your Sister Lin, she just fainted from exhaustion, and she should wake up after a while, you don't have to worry."
The two children breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ping, the shopkeeper of the inn, originally saw such a bloody and terrifying scene, and his heart was full of uneasiness, but when he saw the young man, he somehow suddenly calmed down, he stepped forward and asked cautiously: "This son, this happened, I am afraid that the gang of thieves will retaliate, and they will continue to send chasing soldiers, I think you should run for your life as soon as possible after a short rest, as long as you dress up a little, don't take those avenues, you should change those quiet paths, they should not be able to catch you."
Before Xia Ze could speak, the shopkeeper suddenly seemed to be embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, son, I'm not worried that the thieves will retaliate against you and implicate the shop, I ......
Xia Ze said with a smile: "Naturally not, the shopkeeper and a few little brothers can take action and leave their personal life and death behind, I admire it too late."
Wang Ping and those guys were immediately ecstatic, how many times in their lives can they hoe the strong and help the weak like today.
Just the next moment, Xia Ze's words poured cold water on them.
"But this kind of good deeds should be done less, there are good people and evil people in the rivers and lakes, sometimes good people are not necessarily strong, even if you want to protect good people who are also good people, there will be times when you are powerless, so protect yourself and live well is better than anything else
It's important, and it's not a shame to be afraid of death."
Wang Ping and the two guys nodded heavily, savoring what Xia Ze said.
The old martial artist, who had already woken up, walked down the stairs quickly, walked in front of Xia Ze, and was about to fall to the ground.
Xia Ze smiled bitterly, "If you faint again, I won't be able to save you."
The old warrior's face was flushed, and the boy pulled a chair and asked him to sit down with him, and began to drink.
"The old man's surname is Lu, his name is Dongxi, and today's revenge is all due to the divine power of the son, but the old man is useless, and the son is chased and killed by that gang of thieves, and the old man is ashamed. Lu Dongxi burst into tears, and his hand holding the wine bowl trembled slightly."
Xia Ze picked up the wine bowl and touched him, and then took a big sip of wine.
The wine is no longer warm, but for Xia Ze, who is used to drinking cold wine, there is no need anymore.
"What are the old man's plans for the future?" Xia Ze put down the empty wine bowl and stared at Lu Dongxi's eyes.
This old man, who had been practicing swordsmanship for many years and was only bent on revenge, was somehow stunned when he heard this, and the spirit and sword intent that were barely supported by Xia Ze with his fist intent in his body were like a bottle dumped indoors, shattered into a mess.
"Why are you alive......" the old man muttered, looking up overhead.
Yes, for so many years, every time he secretly investigated, every time he risked his life to assassinate these animals, every time he swung his sword to practice his sword, every time he was tortured by the pain of the festering acupoint qifu It was better to die than death, he felt that he was going to die, he was afraid of death, he was afraid that he would be unwilling to die, so he gritted his teeth and struggled to support it, as if holding a knife on the neck of the heavenly lord, crying and begging him to give him a little more time. A little bit would be fine.
So in his plan, he should have failed and died in a certain time, but today's revenge was avenged, and the revenge was so happy, far beyond his imagination, in fact, if Xia Ze had not sacrificed his life to save him, his death after this time would be his end.
Those memories of relatives and friends are dead, and it is not a bad thing to seem to die like this.
"I want to ask the old man to promise me something." Xia Ze said.
When Lu Dongxi heard this, he said very sincerely: "Benefactor, please general, it's just what you ordered, even if I, Lu Dongxi, go to the soup and go to the fire, I will do it."
Xia Ze shook his head slightly, "I want the old man to live well, because there is a sword technique, I have never been able to find the method, so I implore the old man to help me study and study, no matter how many years, if one day I can practice this trick and teach it to me, it will be regarded as a great help to me."
"Swordsmanship, this ...... Well, as long as it is entrusted by the Grace Father, even if it takes ten or twenty years, the old decay will definitely continue to study."
Xia Ze put one hand on the old man's shoulder, his eyes turned slightly, and in an instant, one move was like a moth to a fire, flying into the eyes of the old man, this is the question that Meng Dengzhou passed on to him.
The old man deceived himself for many years with a lie so that he could fulfill his desire for revenge. Today, Xia Ze used another lie to trick him into living well.
This cause and effect should have been carried by him, but it was inexplicably and skillfully carried down by Lu Dongxi, but it was taken over by Lin Luqing.
In the heart lake, ripples are everywhere.
