Chapter 40: Brothers Kill Each Other
Sakura Ying dragged Chu Haotian and was about to leave, but found Chu Haotian standing motionless in place with a sluggish expression.
In desperation, Sakura Infant appeared in his original form, turned into a giant tree and forcibly carried Chu Haotian away.
When the two of them hid in the alley, Sakura turned back into a human form.
After a slash, the chains around Chu Haotian broke in response.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Sakura Ying came to Chu Haotian and shook his hand, but Chu Haotian did not come back to his senses because of this, he still looked expressionless, and his eyes were hollow and terrifying.
"Chu Haotian! Are you okay? I'm Sakura! Don't you know me? ”
No matter how Sakura Ying called, Chu Haotian still didn't respond.
"It's so strange, how did it come to this?"
Sakura frowned and was puzzled.
"Forget it, take this guy to hide first, and wait for Brother Ling Han to come!"
As he spoke, he dragged Chu Haotian towards the agreed meeting point.
On the other side, Shui Linghan was struggling to attract firepower.
The pursuers were in hot pursuit, and on the other hand, they were waiting for an opportunity to attack Shui Linghan.
Shui Linghan blocked the attacks one by one, and by the way, he estimated the speed of the two Sakura Babies escaping.
"There should be enough time."
After saying that, Shui Linghan threw his sword behind him, chanted a spell in his mouth, and the sword instantly turned into a thousand, blocking Shui Linghan's back, and the sharp blade combined into a wall towards the pursuers, like a hedgehog with his back to the pursuers, separating Shui Linghan from the pursuers.
The pursuers were horrified, but there was nothing they could do.
"Stop chasing, don't pass by!"
Shui Linghan waved his hand at the pursuers, and then turned into the alley.
Seeing this, the pursuers pointed to the alley and shouted.
"He's gone that way! Let's go around! Chase! ”
At this time, Shui Linghan was already lying on the roof, closely watching the movements of the pursuers.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting farther and farther, Shui Linghan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know what happened to Sakura."
As he spoke, he went to the agreed place.
The unfamiliar cherry baby pulled Chu Haotian, who was like a wooden man, and finally came to the vicinity of the agreed place.
After a long sigh of relief, Sakura sat on the ground.
"Whew! It seems that this is the meeting point that Brother Ling Han said! It should be safe for now! Chu Haotian, let's hide here and wait for Brother Ling Han first, right? ”
Chu Haotian didn't answer, still standing there like a walking corpse.
Sakura couldn't help but get worried.
"How so?"
"Sakura!"
Shui Linghan's voice came from behind him.
Sakura is overjoyed.
"Brother Ling Han! You're finally here! Look at Brother Haotian! He doesn't seem to know me anymore! ”
"What?"
Hearing what Ying Ying said, Shui Linghan was a little surprised, and hurriedly ran quickly to check on Chu Haotian's situation.
"Haotian, are you okay?"
Chu Haotian didn't say a word.
Shui Linghan was a little anxious.
"Haotian? I'm Brother Ling Han! ”
Chu Haotian still stared blankly ahead, deaf to Shui Linghan's call.
"How did he become like this?"
Shui Linghan was puzzled.
Sakura shook her head.
"I don't know! After I saved him, he was like this, not saying anything. ”
Shui Linghan's face turned pale.
"Could it be...... Could it be that Xie Yi did something to him? ”
"What's going on?"
Sakura asked puzzled.
"I've heard that Xie Yi uses living people to conduct Gu poison research, is it ......?"
Shui Linghan looked at Chu Haotian worriedly.
As soon as he heard Shui Linghan say the word Xie Yi, a glimmer of light flashed in Chu Hao's Sky Cave's eyes.
"You mean! Could Chu Haotian have been used as an experiment by the bad guys? ”
Sakura was shocked.
"There is a good chance ......"
"That'...... Is there any salvation for him? ”
"Unless you look for Xie Yi and get the antidote......"
Shui Linghan showed a solemn expression.
"But that's too dangerous!"
Sakura hurriedly shook her head.
"No, no, no!"
"Why don't we leave first and go to find the Beichen Immortal, he is an immortal, there will definitely be a way!"
Shui Linghan thought so.
"You're right. At present, Yuxian City is in crisis, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time, so you can only leave first and then make plans. ”
The two of them were about to drag Chu Haotian, who was like wood and stone, away, but a team of sergeants suddenly appeared around and surrounded the three of them.
"Sakura! Protect Haotian! Here......"
Shui Linghan hadn't finished speaking, but he saw Chu Haotian stabbing him.
Phew!
Fortunately, Shui Linghan's eyes were quick and he blocked the blow with his sword.
"Chu Haotian! What are you doing? ”
Sakura asked angrily.
Chu Haotian, who was originally ignoring his surroundings, suddenly changed his face, his eyes revealed a hint of awe-inspiring, and he attacked Shui Linghan again.
Shui Linghan didn't want to hurt Chu Haotian, so he withdrew his saber and knocked off the dagger in Chu Haotian's hand with only three punches and two kicks.
Chu Haotian, who had lost his dagger, suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.
"Haotian! What happened to you? ”
Shui Linghan was startled, and was about to step forward to check, but saw Chu Haotian suddenly open his eyes, and was about to choke Shui Linghan's throat with his backhand, Shui Linghan hurriedly raised his hand and blocked the blow with his forearm.
"Haotian! Wake up! I'm your big brother Ling Han! ”
Chu Haotian ignored it, but his eyes were full of hatred, and he attacked Shui Linghan again.
Shui Linghan has always restrained himself from hurting Chu Haotian, but Chu Haotian has made a fatal move, intending to take Shui Linghan's life directly.
"Chu Haotian, stop it!"
Seeing that Chu Haotian's moves were becoming more and more ruthless, Sakura couldn't bear it, and anxiously summoned a flower blade around his body, wanting to stop Chu Haotian.
Shui Linghan knew that Sakura Infant was powerful, and was worried that Sakura Infant would hurt Chu Haotian, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
"Don't hurt Haotian! I'm here to stop him! ”
Seeing that Shui Linghan was so persistent, Sakura Ying hesitated for a moment and then put away the flower blade.
"That'...... All right! Brother Ling Han be careful! ”
Shui Linghan kept parrying and retreating everywhere, but Chu Haotian didn't care about the old friendship at all, and his attacks became more aggressive.
"Oops...... It seems that Haotian has completely lost his mind......"
Shui Ling's cold heart is not good, but there is nothing to be done.
"I'm sorry, I can't let you go any further!"
Shui Linghan put his sword into the sheath and attacked Chu Haotian with the sheathed sword.
Not to be outdone, Chu Haotian took out his long whip and swung it towards Shui Linghan.
"Wake up!"
Chu Haotian's attacks became more and more vicious, causing Shui Linghan to gradually fall to the upper hand.
Shui Linghan knew that he couldn't entangle any longer, so he took advantage of Chu Haotian's unpreparedness and slammed Chu Haotian on the neck after dodging.
"Uh......"
Chu Haotian snorted, and fell straight to the ground.
"Brother Ling Han, are you okay?"
Sakura hurriedly came to Shui Linghan and asked worriedly.
Shui Linghan shook his head.
"It's okay, it's just that I was wronged and slept for a while."
"What a wonderful fratricidal drama!"
A round of applause came from far and near.
Listening to the familiar voice, Shui Linghan showed a sneer.
"It's been a long time since I see you, Priest!"
At this time, Sakura Ying noticed that Xie Yi and the leaders also surrounded at some point.
"The former lord is unharmed."
Shui Linghan looked at Xie Yi and asked angrily.
"Xie Yi! What did you do to Haotian? ”
Xie Yi only thought it was funny.
"Interesting. What does the struggle between your brothers have to do with me? Shouldn't you ask your good brother about this? ”
"I know you did it!"
"I've long heard that in addition to pharmacology, Lord Priest is also good at refining Gu and making poison. Rumor has it that the priests often capture those who are on death row and the helpless to make poison Gu medicine, so this must not be out of nowhere! Now that Haotian is crazy for no reason, it won't have nothing to do with Lord Xie Yi! ”
Xie Yi smiled calmly.
"Oh, Lord Acting Lord. You can't talk nonsense......"
"Since you know that I am good at pharmacology, you should know the 'heart of the healer's parents'. How can a healer with the heart of a parent do something that hurts people's lives? ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! ”
The leaders on the side also chimed in.
"But since you said that I am refining Gu and making poison, then, please also show the evidence of my Gu refining and poisoning. Or is your technique of splashing dirty water so perfect? ”
Shui Linghan roughly estimated the hour.
At this time, there is still a stick of incense and the sky will be completely dark, if you can delay for a little longer and wait for the night to fall, you may have a chance to escape from the chaos.
After making up his mind, Shui Linghan sneered.
"Seeing that the priest was so calm, I guess the evidence is gone. But what the priests don't know, what you did in secret, and living evidence of what you did in secret! ”
"Oh? Living evidence? Let's hear it. ”
Xie Yi asked with interest.
"Do you remember your daughter's devotional?"
"Heh, what do you want her to do?"
"Because she used to be the material for you to refine Gu and make poison!"
After Shui Linghan finished speaking, the leaders of the onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, but they did not target Xie Yi, but accused Shui Linghan.
"Traitor! What nonsense you dare to slander the priests! ”
"What proof do you have of her identity?"
"Although the spiritual cultivator stubbornly practices forbidden arts, the priest has never thought of killing her, so don't spew blood!"
"Bold traitor, slandering the priest! Priest, please take down the traitor! ”
"Tiger poison does not eat children, you slander the priest like this, you deserve a thousand cuts!"
Shui Linghan looked at the leaders beside Xie Yi who were busy expressing their loyalty in black and white, and sneered.
"The priest has a good bunch of dogs!"
Xie Yi was not annoyed after hearing this, but just waved his hand, and the leaders who were originally noisy and shouting quickly quieted down when they saw this.
Xie Yi said slowly.
"Lingxiu is my biological daughter, although I have a slightly unfamiliar relationship with me, but I will not hurt her in the slightest anyway......"
"What if she's not your biological daughter at all?"
Shui Linghan interrupted Xie Yi's words.
As soon as these words came out, the others stared at Shui Linghan in a daze.
Xie Yi looked at Shui Linghan with sharp eyes.
"Oh? Not my daughter? So where did she come from? ”
Shui Linghan angrily accused.
"There have always been rumors in the Imperial Immortal City. Since Xie Yi became the priest of the Imperial Immortal Realm, there were many fewer people living alone and beggars in the city. ”
"Everyone thinks that the priest has a good way of governing the city and placing those people properly, but they don't know that it is this beast with a beast face and a beast heart who hijacks these solitary people as their own experiments in order to refine Gu poison, and even secretly collects abandoned baby women to achieve their own goal of cultivating Gu poison!"
"The spiritual escape that day was not just because of the practice of forbidden arts! It's the evidence that she witnessed Xie Yi sloppy in the secret room, and she was also one of the abandoned babies! ”
"You talk nonsense!"
The leader retorted angrily.
"You're just talking nothing!"
Shui Linghan didn't expect these leaders to believe in him, but in order to delay time, he patiently explained.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Xie Yi's room and investigate carefully. If you're lucky, you might even be able to see the hidden traces of the secret room. ”
The leaders looked at each other, but Shui Linghan's words did shake some of them.
Some have even shown skepticism.
Xie Yi was not flustered, and smiled slightly after listening to Shui Linghan's accusation.
"Finished?"
Xie Yi asked, as if Shui Linghan's accusation had nothing to do with him.
“...... Be. ”
Shui Linghan saw that the delay was unsuccessful, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while.
"What a wonderful story."
Xie Yi applauded.
"But your little tricks are useless to me."
"All you're doing now is just stalling for time!"
"You want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but it's a pity! This time it wasn't so lucky. ”
"Come on, take them down for me!"
"Yes!"
