This 'shadow' is naturally the sword spirit.

He appeared on the order of Dao Yuan, the purpose of which was to scare away the man in black and see if he could save Xue Cheng.

It's just that his current appearance is too shocking, so Dao Yuan found him such a black robe from the space bracelet, covering most of his body, revealing only two empty but sharp eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the man in black immediately took a few steps back, and looked at the 'shadow' in front of him in horror who didn't know what it was.

Dao Yuan, who was hiding behind the grass, suddenly stumbled, and almost laughed out loud: Sword Spirit, this guy can really make up......! This dress seems to really look like that!

Of course, there is no god in the world, but the man in black believes in eight points, because, in his eyes, the person who can send out such a heaven-devouring momentum is a god!

Even if it's not that powerful.

It's like, no matter how weak a dragon is, it is also a dragon, and it will also turn clouds and rain, spit fog and clouds, and extraordinary people can resist it. But no matter how big a pig is, it is just a pig, except for eating too much, it is not the same as making people afraid.

The momentum emitted by the sword spirit is the dragon in the eyes of the man in black.

"Senior...... This is our grievance, please don't interfere......" In the eyes of the man in black, this 'senior' must be a certain great power passing by here by chance, maybe on a whim, with the intention of doing a good deed every day, if he makes up some reasons and says how unbearable and insidious Xue Cheng is, maybe he can deceive this great god.

But before he could speak, the sword spirit interrupted him coldly: "Boy, I'm in a good mood now, so I don't care about what you just said." Acquaintances, leave before I change my mind, I don't want my rules of doing good every day to be broken from you!"

As he spoke, the sword spirit gathered and compressed the momentum, condensing it into a very subtle killing intent, which clearly entered the mind of the man in black.

In the first battle of that year, his cultivation fell to the bottom, although after so many years of sleep, he finally recovered some, but it was far from being able to compete with the man in black, if he really did it, he would not be his opponent 100%.

However, countless years of cultivation and killing, that kind of pride in the world, the heart of looking down on the world, has made the momentum of the sword spirit reach an extremely terrifying realm, even if the current cultivation is not one in a hundred, but the momentum alone is enough to make any martial artist feel shocked and tremble from the depths of his heart, not to mention that this is still under the condition that he deliberately did it, the man in black naturally can't bear it.

In other words, as long as it is not a real move, the man in black will definitely not be able to see through the sword spirit.

Invaded by this momentum, the face of the man in black changed again and again, his back was cold for a while, the hairs on his body stood up, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This kind of momentum, he used to feel it so closely, because of this, he knew how terrible it was for people who could emit such momentum, if the other party was willing, he didn't even have to do anything, just a simple look, he would be gone, and he would die in Huangquan, and there would never be any luck.

Thinking of this, the man in black secretly thought to himself: Anyway, Xue Cheng has already fallen into the clutches of my heart-urging demon, his heart is broken, and his life is only in an instant, even if this person has earth-shattering cultivation, he can't save him, since my goal has been achieved, then why stay here! If I really anger him, then wouldn't I be killing myself!

"Since the seniors said so, the juniors should obey their orders!" The man in black glanced at Xue Cheng and bowed his hand respectfully to the sword spirit: "Farewell!" After speaking, he looked at the sword spirit vigilantly, his body slowly retreated, came to his weapon and leaned over to pick it up, immediately turned around, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

The sword spirit's divine sense followed him until he was sure that the other party was really gone, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed proudly, obviously extremely satisfied that he could scare the man in black away.

Dao Yuan walked over and looked at him a little strangely: "Gone?"

"Of course!" The sword spirit raised his eyebrows, squinting his eyes: "With my sword spirit coming out, what a martial artist in the soul condensing realm is!"

"Didn't you blow enough just now!" Dao Yuan frowned and said, "Let's see how Xue Cheng is!"

The sword spirit stagnated, and a lot of words that were about to be exported had to be held back, and he returned to the sword of life and death infinitely depressed.

When the sword spirit first released its momentum, Xue Cheng was even frightened and injured, and he had already simply passed out, and at this moment he was already breathing weakly, and his vitality was gradually fading.

Dao Yuan lifted it up, put his right hand against the back of his heart, and slowly sent out a true yuan, and after a while, Xue Cheng woke up slowly.

"It's you?...... I recognize you......" Xue Cheng showed a difficult smile, his voice was weak, and then, his gaze looked away from the edge of the road, as if looking for something.

Dao Yuan knew his mind and said, "Don't look at it, it's just the two of us here." ”

"Alas......" Xue Cheng showed a complicated expression, he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or something else, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I, Xue Cheng, would die here......!

Although Dao Yuan didn't have a good impression of him from the beginning, if it weren't for that Haoyue Qinglian, Hai Wuya was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live until now, and now that he was seriously injured and dying, Dao Yuan was also quite sad in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Huh...... Ahem......"

Xue Cheng wanted to laugh, but his blood was surging, and he couldn't stop coughing, and Dao Yuan hurriedly helped him stroke his chest and smooth his qi, and at the same time increased the delivery of true yuan.

"No...... There is no need to waste the true yuan anymore!" Xue Cheng endured the pain and looked at Dao Yuan with some gratitude: "My heart is broken, and I have no skills to return to the sky...... cough cough cough ......"

"I'll carry you back to the city now, maybe City Lord Xiao will have a way. ”

Xue Cheng shook his head slightly and stopped him: "Actually, I'm not afraid of death, it's just ...... It's just a little unwilling!" He suddenly looked at Dao Yuan with an eager gaze: "Xiao ...... Little brother, can I ask you something?!"

"Messenger Xue has something to say, if Dao Yuan can do it, he will not refuse. ”

Xue Cheng was overjoyed, and took out a jade pendant from his neck tremblingly, this jade pendant is only half a piece, the incision is smooth and neat, exuding a soft and smooth brilliance, and at a glance you know that it is not ordinary.

Xue Cheng handed the jade pendant to Dao Yuan: "I have a daughter, who is only fifteen years old this year, I am afraid that after I die, she will have no one to take care of her, so please little brother, when you go to the Holy Imperial City in the future, help me take care of one or two, Xue is grateful! ”

Seeing that Dao Yuan was slightly embarrassed, Xue Cheng said again: "I know that this matter is very troublesome, if the little brother is unwilling, just assume that Xue didn't say ......."

"Messenger Xue misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Dao Yuan shook his head: "I am an idle cloud and wild crane, destined to wander the rivers and lakes, if this thing can't be done, wouldn't it be worthy of others!"

Xue Cheng said: "Little brother, I know that you are a trustworthy person, so I want to entrust this matter to you, if you ...... If it's really inconvenient for you in the future, then you don't have to mind at all, maybe...... This is her life! It has nothing to do with you. ”

Looking at Xue Cheng's gradually dissipating eyes and some desperate expressions, Dao Yuan sighed slightly: "Okay, I promise you!"

"Thank you!" Xue Cheng looked at Dao Yuan excitedly and solemnly: "The most reassuring thing in my life is her, now little brother, you are willing to agree, even if I die, I can be blind!"

Xue Cheng took off the space ring and handed it to Dao Yuan: "Here is Xue's life's savings, although it is not much, but it is enough for her to live the second half of her life without worrying about food and clothing, and when you see my daughter in the future, you can give her the money in it, as for other things, it will be Xue's reward for you." ”

Dao Yuan nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will hand it all over to her." ”

Entrusted by people and loyal to people, since he promised Xue Cheng, Dao Yuan naturally would not covet anything in it.

"Tell ...... Tell City Lord Xiao that you must ...... Be careful of Lu Chengding!" Xue Cheng's voice gradually became smaller: "Also, say sorry to the Sea Courtyard Lord for me, if there is a next life, I ...... I ......"

The voice stopped abruptly here, and Xue Cheng's head tilted, and he was speechless.

"I really didn't expect that this Xue Cheng is also a loving and righteous person, and before he died, he didn't forget to ask you to take care of his daughter. "The sword spirit appeared behind Dao Yuan at some point.

"In the world, who is truly ruthless!"

......

The wind of dawn was a little cold, and Dao Yuan stood in front of Xue Cheng's tomb, looking at the slightly pale sky, and sighed a lot in his heart.
