Chapter 169: Save others and save yourself
For the first time, Jiang Chen took a serious look at Xining's appearance.
Her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, her jewel-like eyes stared at Jiang Chen without blinking, and her bloodless face was full of sorrow.
There is also a shallow scar on the left cheek, which was a bloody wound that was cut in the Futu Temple a few days ago.
Like the finest porcelain, it is delicate and fragile.
Jiang Chen's heart shook for a moment, but he immediately relented.
He said coldly: "If you want to blame it, blame the Futu Temple, if he hadn't killed my relatives, I wouldn't have demolished the Futu Temple, and you wouldn't have to die in my hands!" Now that all this has happened, no one can turn back! You...... Are there any last words at the end? ”
"You kill innocents indiscriminately, bully the weak, and you will go to hell after death!" Xining's voice trembled slightly.
"Even if I go to hell, I will pull Shifutu with me! Wait for me in hell first! ”
Jiang Chen's wrist flicked, and the shadow sword was pressed against Xining's neck.
The huge red moon hung high in the night sky, gilding the vast land with a hazy red light.
From Jiang Chen's point of view, Xining's figure happened to be reflected in the middle of the disc, and the outline of his face became blurred, leaving only a clear shadow, ready to fly.
Jiang Chen calmed down, and found that it was difficult for him to swing this sword.
If it was the first time they met, even if the other party was a little girl, he would not hesitate to kill her with a sword. But after three days of getting along day and night, he gradually became familiar with her, and asked him to bury this immature and stubborn face with his own hands, which became a problem to torture his heart.
In three days, he saw her crying, she angry, she depressed, she pretending to be calm, she holding back her fear, and she stubbornly facing death. In front of such a fresh life, Jiang Chen's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and a simple action became extremely difficult.
Su Yunqing, is this all your calculation?
The original bet was just a cover, you don't want to teach her at all, you just want to use time to dilute my hatred?
It was as if there were two voices arguing in my head.
Hienin is powerless, and your hatred has nothing to do with her.
But she was nurtured by the Futu Sect since she was a child, and her blood flowed as filthy as those beasts.
The ignorant are not guilty.
But she's in league with those brutes! Always be your mortal enemy!
……
Jiang Chen's head twitched like a sharp pain, and his left hand pressed the door of his head.
As the long-awaited death came, Xining's face became paler and paler, and tears slowly fell down her cheeks.
The silence of the unknown, the long and tense wait, is even more torture.
"Choke!" The Shadow Slash Sword is sheathed.
The cold aura that symbolized death disappeared, and Xining opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Chen blankly.
"Look over there!" Jiang Chen let out a breath, pointed to the scenery below the sand dunes, and said, "Is the scenery over there beautiful?" ”
Looking in the direction he pointed, the wind and sand were entangled in the distance, like smoke and waves in the moonlight, and the whirring wind made Xining tremble.
Only then did she notice that the sand dunes were too high and steep, and that a thin body like hers would probably die if she fell down.
"Jump off on your own." Jiang Chen said in a flat tone.
Xining glared at Jiang Chen angrily, but Jiang Chen's eyes were not on her, his gaze was ethereal, so far away that he seemed to have drifted away from the world.
Hatred and pity, two different beliefs fought fiercely in his heart.
His voice was also empty because of this: "Jump, if you can survive, I will forgive you." ”
Xining looked down at the height of the sand slope, and her legs were a little weak.
She muffled, "I don't jump!" ”
"Jump, you still have a chance to live." Jiang Chen's voice became more and more strange.
"No!" Xining still refused, "If you want me to die, pull out your sword and kill me with your eyes open!" ”
Jiang Chen's consciousness was a little dazed.
He seemed to hear the sound of a flute lingering in his ears, sometimes far and sometimes near, if there was nothing.
The sound of the flute was magical, pulling the crimson moonlight, entangled around him, and the blood in his body became restless.
He vaguely saw Shining sneering at him. The teeth are slightly exposed, the moon eyes are crooked, and the eyes are full of mockery.
What is she laughing at?
Laugh at me that I don't even have the courage to kill a person with my own hands?
Laugh at me for having nothing, and I have become a lost dog!
Laugh at me for being cowardly and incompetent, but still retain ridiculous pity!
Why!
It's not all your iniquity!
The bastards of the Futu Sect dare to laugh at me!
Let her die!
Push her down! Push it down! Push it down!
The demon had woken up, screaming hysterically in his heart, Jiang Chen's eyes glowed with a strange blood light, and he grabbed Xining's arm violently, dragged her off the cliff, and rolled off the sand dune.
"Ah——!h
The screams went all the way away, getting weaker and weaker, and disappeared completely before they were halfway through.
Grains of sand penetrate the mouth, nose, throat, and lungs, and can suffocate people to death.
The small figure that rolled down to the back half of the road, there was no trace of struggle, and it looked more and more like a corpse.
Jiang Chen stood on the slope, sweating profusely, and let out a heavy wheezing breath from his mouth.
The sound of the flute that lingered in his ears quietly receded, no longer entangled with him.
The blood-colored light in Jiang Chen's eyes gradually faded, and he looked at the scene below without movement, his face was dead.
She's dead?
Jiang Chen clutched his chest and slid down the sand dunes, his steps getting faster and faster, and finally jumped a few feet, came to Xining, and lifted her dusty body.
"Xining! Hiinin! Are you still alive? Wake up! ”
Jiang Chen shook Xining's body vigorously.
Xining's face was bruised and motionless, like a corpse.
"She inhaled a lot of sand and soon suffocated to death." Du Shan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Jiang Chen didn't have time to pay attention to how Du Shan came over, and asked eagerly, "Then what should I do?" ”
Du Shan patted his chest: "My old Du can save her!" ”
Jiang Chen immediately gave up his position and shouted, "Come on!" ”
Du Shan squatted down in front of Xining, his palm on her mouth and nose, and saw bundles of sand grains being pulled out and gathered in his hand, circling around his finger like an earthworm.
Jiang Chen's heart moved-Du Shan was able to manipulate the grains of sand, could this be his natal supernatural power?
A moment later, Xining suddenly coughed, her chest heaved sharply, and she gasped for breath.
"It's okay." Du Shan said with a smile.
Xining opened her eyes blankly and found herself lying in the sand, squatting in front of Du Shan, who had a lewd smile. And the sand particles that seeped into the mouth, nose, trachea, and esophagus disappeared completely for some reason.
Behind Du Shan was Jiang Chen, and when Xining saw Jiang Chen, his face suddenly changed, and the terrifying memory of rolling down from the sand dunes came to mind, and his body shrank involuntarily.
"Sister Xiao Ning, don't be afraid, it was my brother who saved you! You don't have to thank your brother too much, why don't you give me that karma card? Du Shan said with a grin.
Jiang Chen coughed and said, "Brother Du, you seem to be very interested in cause and effect cards?" ”
"Of course!" Du Shan nodded vigorously, "That thing is worth a lot!" The Dusk Legion has been buying this thing at a high price, the higher the level of the brand, the more expensive the price, the one on Xiao Ning's sister's body, at least a sixth-order karma card, can be sold for seven or eight thousand ......"
"But I heard that the cause and effect cards have the mark of the Futu Sect on them, and you are not afraid of being hunted down by the Futu Sect with this thing?"
"Don't worry, I'm well-connected, and things will be able to get rid of it soon! And in the territory of the Black Sword Saint, the Futu Sect doesn't dare to mess around......"
Jiang Chen nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll give you this karma card." ”
"Great! Good brother, heroic! Interesting! Du Shan held Jiang Chen's palm tightly, "I knew that you were a cheerful person, and I didn't give you this brother in vain!" If something happens in the future, report my name to Lao Du......"
Du Shan, who got the karma card, left in a hurry, saying that he wanted to get rid of the things as soon as possible before the Futu Sect chased and killed.
