Chapter 8 Flowers

The sword light of the divine pen spread again, swinging away the sword shadow like a waterfall of Ji Xianke.

Li Bai stepped forward, and the spirit on the blade of the sword surged, gradually immense!

- Knight's Walk!

"Didn't you run away?"

Ji Xianke laughed, as if he was strolling leisurely, walking under the Qinglian Sword Qi, "What, I'm afraid that you're leaving, I'll go hunt down your friend?" Don't worry, no, I'm not that uninteresting. You can go with confidence. ”

"Let's go?"

Li Bai didn't take a step back, the blade of the sword was aimed straight at his throat, pressing step by step: "Don't tell jokes, Ji Xianke, the number one swordsman in Chang'an City, it's time to change someone!" ”

"That's not good, I'm still counting on this cheat to eat, can you please bypass me?"

Ji Xianke raised his head from the front of the sword blade, snatched the blade in front of his throat dangerously, and suddenly lowered his head, and smiled at Li Bai: "Besides, with your swordsmanship, you want to kill me...... It's hundreds of years early! ”

Thunder bursts!

It is indescribable that the dazzling light that appeared at that moment, as if the iron had melted and was cast into the appearance of thunder, roared by, causing Li Bai to retreat violently.

The hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

The blade is almost out of hand.

"I see, you're the type who gets stronger the more you fight, right?"

Ji Xianke still stood in place, his palm pressed on the hilt of the sword, and at some point, he had already put the sword into the sheath: "It's a pity, I'm not, if the time drags on too long, I will be sleepy......"

He covered his mouth, yawned, and said, "So, let's do it quickly!" ”

Thunder reappears!

Never before has I seen such a terrifying speed.

Even, it's too late to think.

Li Bai's eyes widened, only to see Ji Xianke appear in front of him instantly, smiling, the blade in his hand advancing towards his pupils little by little.

Piercing!

The sword qi surges, explodes, and will enter the wine!

In an instant, the two had already staggered.

The sound of the cloth cracking.

A crack silently appeared on Li Bai's face, and blood dripped down. Behind him, the red clothes on Ji Xianke's body broke from the center.

Revealed, half of his body hidden under his robes.

Ironlight all over the place!

"Organs?"

Li Bai looked back, and his eyes were stung by the tragic body.

"Did you find out?"

Ji Xianke reached out and ripped off the broken steps on his body, exposing his upper body, showing off the criss-crossing scars all over his body, barely an inch of intact skin.

Even more jaw-dropping were the seven steel bolts that moved forward on his chest.

Even a scar that almost cut him in half.

Beneath the wound that could not be closed was bare bonesβ€”bones of steel, through which the movement of countless gears and springs could be seen.

Most of the body, the heart, the lungs, and even the arm made of pure steel.

Trap prosthetics!

"Stunned? Don't worry, it's a secret that everyone is ashamed to talk about. ”

Ji Xianke took off his gloves, revealing his strangely shaped mechanical five fingers, and flicked them casually, as if to show off: "Look, being too showy is such an end, in the early years, I was besieged by a group of people, not only did I lose my hand holding the sword, but I almost died."

It's really lucky, when I met Boss Lu, I simply helped me get a new ...... Envy? ”

Li Bai did not speak.

solemnly sighed, not knowing whether to be frightened or admired.

That's not just a heavy injury, I'm afraid it's a fatal injury, right? Injured like this, he can still hold a sword and become the first swordsman in Chang'an......

The blood and tears behind it can be seen.

"You're strong, Ji Xianke." Li Bai said, "It's stronger than I thought." ”

"It's just a small injury, don't worry about it, it's better to say that it's a blessing in disguise, and the speed of the sword is much faster. But since you've seen so much, I can't let you go. ”

Ji Xianke sighed lightly, there was no smile on his face, and suddenly asked: "As a drinking friend, let me use the absolute biography of the bearded guest to bid you farewell." ”

"Come on, it's not necessarily me who loses."

Li Bai wiped the blood from his cheeks and held the sword in both hands: "I said it a long time ago, I came to Chang'an, the first swordsman, it's time to change!" ”

In Li Bai's hands, the iron light cracked.

The long sword roared like a crane, trembling violently, and in the restraint of the sword qi, it quickly dissolved and lost its form, but the light became more and more dazzling.

The blue sky was held in his hands, and the sound of cranes echoed in the air.

The mighty river surged from Li Bai's hands and turned into a sharp blade.

"Good."

Ji Xianke laughed, the bloodshot in his eyes expanded wildly, and half of his iron bones appeared in an instant. Countless hubs worked beneath that torn shell, raising their power to the highest peak.

The blade in his hand cracked a crack, unable to withstand the terrifying power.

In an instant, Ji Xianke roared, and when he stepped forward, the entire courtyard shook and cracked.

Time seems to stand still in an instant.

Only the galloping figure strides, forward, swings the sword and slashes down!

Beyond the thunder, over the lightning, even doubtful...... Above time!

This is the last secret legend of the bearded guest, the extreme realm of all swordsmanship in the world.

Its name is called - Flying Light!

At this moment, the flying light is in the face, and the merciless time is cut down.

And the cyan sword qi counterattacked at this moment of solidification.

Li Bai roared, the blazing sword qi flowed for a long time, and the spirit born from the poetry of wine ran between this heaven and earth, wielding wantonly, and the power that was not bound by anything rebelled towards the fastest sword in the world!

At that moment, the demon in the shadow raised his eyes, and the antlers were hideous.

The invisible weapon was aimed at Li Bai's back.

Thorn down!

The staggered light flickered, and only the high-pitched screams pierced the night, causing countless people to wake up from their nightmares, sweating, but not knowing where the palpitations came from.

The quiet and beautiful courtyard had been torn apart by the vertical and horizontal sword qi and flying light, and it was full of devastation.

Only a long sword flew up and fell from the sky.

Wailing, stabbing into the dirt.

Li Bai staggered forward, lowered his head, saw the empty palm, and finally felt the stinging pain in his back, which was a deep scar that could be seen in the bone......

Assassination of the antlers!

Lost.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, but his footsteps never stopped, enduring the pain of tearing, speeding up, ignoring the hideous malice behind him.

No, you can't fall like this yet.

At least...... They must be told......

With his last strength, Li Bai gritted his teeth, stepped on the eaves, and flew over the wall.

Embarrassed to go away.

And Ji Xianke still stood in place and did not chase.

Even in the moment just now, he only shot down the long sword in Li Bai's hand, and did not really cut down the flying light.

Let the great advantage that the antlers have created for him disappear without a trace.

Just coldly, looking into the shadows in the corner.

In the shadows, an indifferent voice came: "Why didn't you kill him?" ”

"Because I'm not happy."

Ji Xianke replied expressionlessly: "I should have said that we are not allowed to interfere in the duel. ”

"The order of the Duke of Wu is absolute."

"It really looks like a dog pleasing its master......" Ji Xianke scoffed, "Since it is such an urgent performance, then you can chase it, I hope you can get the bones back." ”

No one responded, and the shadows remained the same.

But the demon in the shadow is gone.

In the court, only Ji Xianke stared at the direction where Li Bai went, and sighed lightly for a long time: "It's a pity, I haven't drunk anything." ”

He bent down, picked up Li Bai's saber on the ground, and turned around and walked into the hall.

Lu Daoxuan looked back: "Solved?" ”

"I accidentally ran away."

Ji Xianke said indifferently, "But the antlers chased after it, so it should be able to solve it." ”

"Is it tricky?"

"Yes, the sword qi is good, but unfortunately, people are a little slower, and in a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat it."

Ji Xianke turned the hilt of the sword in his hand and handed it out, "What you want." ”

Lu Daoxuan took the long sword that fell silent after the lost master, looked at its watery blade, and sighed lightly: "It's a good sword, but it's a pity that I didn't meet the master." ”

"If you really want to say it, it's more valuable to be willing to die and unyielding, right?"

Li Boqing leaned back in his chair, still drinking residual wine, laughing at himself: "If you really fall into the company of our evil party, you can call it pitiful." ”

"If some people create hell and the evil spirits in hell crawl out, how can they be told to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and abandon darkness and turn to light?"

Lu Daoxuan replied indifferently: "The Three Realms are like a house of fire, life is a great gathering of suffering, birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, and can't ask for it...... Like us, it's just a futile struggle. ”

Li Boqing listened, was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "When will the struggle be a head?" ”

"Until the world becomes hell too."

He said, "You can be free, Li Boqing." ”

Li Boqing didn't speak, just drank.

He raised his head and drank the last wine, but he choked and coughed again, and tears and snot flowed out. But in the hoarse gasp, there was laughter.

"I didn't expect it to play a little bit in the end, come on, come on."

He stretched out his arms as if waiting for a hug, no longer longing.

Then, the blade pierced through his body, piercing through his back, crisply, tearing his heart!

"Let's go."

Lu Daoxuan took a step back and said goodbye softly.

Li Boqing did not fall, with difficulty, he propped up his body from the chair, staggered forward, passed the old man in front of him, and walked towards the ruins on the stage.

When passing by, he thanked hoarsely: "Thank you for all these years." ”

Lu Daoxuan didn't speak, just was silent.

But Li Boqing smiled, his steps gradually lightened, stumbled in the mess, climbed onto the collapsed stage, gasped, and crawled towards the small dilapidated house little by little.

It's like, back to so many years ago.

Hearing the familiar laughter in the courtyard, the child was playing, picked up by his mother, and sat down at a simple table, on which three pairs of chopsticks were already arranged, cheap and delicious dishes, and a small glass of wine was prepared.

They smile and count the hours silently, waiting for the return of their beloved.

But soon, all the illusions dissipated and disappeared.

Only the crumbling walls and the remnants of the ruins, snuggled up to the man who should have died a long time ago, as if embracing him tenderly.

"I'm back."

Li Boqing smiled and closed his eyes.

Sorry I came back too late.

Can you forgive me......

At first, he was still resisting with all his might, and after knocking down three times, he was able to get up, and after breaking an arm, he chose to bite with his teeth.

When the fourth blow to the back of the head, Xun Qing finally lay on the ground and did not move.

On one’s last legs.

But the empty eyes were still staring at the front, reaching out as if to grasp something.

In the end, nothing was caught.

In the silence, Kunlun Mole pulled out his heavy sword and aimed it at his neck, but for a long time, the blade did not fall, just silence.

Until the end, he turned his head, looked behind him, and hesitated: "Dao Xuangong, is it really okay for us to do this?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get rid of it."

Lu Daoxuan walked out of the door and walked forward expressionlessly: "There are still many things to do, and there is no time to waste effort on that kind of waste." ”

Ji Xianke followed behind him, and when he passed by, he smiled and patted Mole's shoulder, "We have time to drink together." ”

"Dao Xuangong!"

Kunlun Mole raised his voice and shouted out to the back figure who was about to go away: "A lot of people have already died, how many more people will die before they can stop?" ”

Lu Daoxuan did not speak.

just turned around and looked at him coldly, with such a look in his heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stop it, Dao Xuangong. Don't go wrong any longer. ”

Kunlun Mole hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "It's enough, right?" Even if it's revenge, it should be enough, right? Everyone, everyone, should start over. ”

"Miller, do you regret it?" Lu Daoxuan asked.

"I don't regret it, I'm just ......"

Mole was silent for a moment, then looked down at the fainting young man at his feet, "I'm just a little scared. ”

I'm afraid of that look.

I am afraid that the grief and despair I once had will appear in the eyes of others......

"Dao Xuangong, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Kunlun Mole dropped the sword in his hand and whispered, "I have decided not to be a swordsman anymore. ”

"I see? From a wild dog to a domestic dog, Mole. ”

Lu Daoxuan saw that look and sighed in disappointment: "Believe in the life given to you by others, indulge in stability and peace, but don't know that everything you have is just an unrealistic dream from beginning to end." ”

"I want to find a quiet place to plant flowers." Miller pleaded: "I don't want to hurt any more ......"

"Stop talking in your dreams, Mole."

Lu Daoxuan interrupted him, "Kill him, you still have a lot of work to do." ”

In the long silence, Mole looked down at the fainting young man at his feet, and shook his head for a long time.

So, Lu Daoxuan retracted his gaze in disappointment.

Waved.

Behind him, Ji Xianke took a step forward and sighed helplessly: "Why do people I want to drink always die early?" ”

Miller's face changed drastically, and he wanted to retreat, but Ji Xianke was already close at hand.

Phantom light slashed.

Mole's right hand flew up, a deep scar cracked open on his chest, and blood gushed out.

The winner is decided.

Ji Xianke was about to put his sword into the sheath, but he heard the roar of the man in front of him, roared with all his might, and slammed into him despite the cracking of the wound.

Ji Xianke swung his sword, piercing through his lungs, but he felt that the blade of the sword was clamped by the muscles. The burly demon seed roared angrily, struggling to knock him away, grabbing Xun Qing, who had fainted on the ground, and rushed out towards the gate.

Fled.

Lu Daoxuan raised his eyes expressionlessly, and the sound of countless bowstrings being twisted sounded, and in the darkness, hidden in the puppets, pulled the trigger, and in an instant, the rain of arrows engulfed the running figure.

Unbelievably, the figure covered in arrows is still there, struggling to move forward.

Little by little, move.

A bloody path was drawn in the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

In the drowsia of blood loss, he muttered and repeated over and over again, but he did not know who to speak.

To the young man in his arms who had fainted? Say it to Cheng Biting Jin, who was deceived by him from beginning to end? Or to Lu Daoxuan?

He couldn't figure it out.

But there were already too many things to do wrong, so many that he didn't have time to make up for them. By the time he began to regret it, it was too late.

"I'm sorry."

He choked up, struggled with his last strength, and threw Xun Qing out.

The figure fell from behind the fence, and gradually drifted away, falling into the bottomless rushing drinking water, and only a faint echo could be heard.

Immediately after, the blade from behind pierced the heart.

Kunlun Mole fell to his knees, his lips twitching for the last time, and he felt a chill.

Is it snowing?

I can't sleep anymore, I have to hurry home and move the flowers from the nursery into the room.

But he couldn't remember where the way home was.

He has long since lost his home.

Miller closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, engulfed in darkness.

There are no flowers in Chang'an City......
