Chapter Fifty-Eight: Death Without Killing

"Is that you?"

Chu Xiaoxiao stood up with her body propped up, holding on to the door frame, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief with teary eyes.

He had only met her once, and he was just a young and naughty boy at that time.

But she had seen the young man's brother, the handsome boy with a body as long as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were eight or nine points similar to the person in front of him.

But Nangong is the first to be gentle and elegant, with a gentle righteousness between his eyebrows and eyes. And the man in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a piece of Tianshan Xuanxue that had not melted for thousands of years between his eyebrows.

He just stood there, not talking, not moving.

Chu Xiaoxiao felt the murderous aura on his body that kept surging like boiling water, but the fierce boiling and overflowing murderous aura was cold and piercing.

She couldn't help but shudder.

"Chu ...... Xiaoxiao ......"

Nan Er didn't know how to face the woman in front of him for a while, he silently read her name, and the knife in his hand was not raised, but he did not put it down.

"It's you, it's really you......"

When Chu Xiaoxiao heard her name being read out of his mouth, extremely complicated feelings surged in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it was for a while, was it remorse, was it sadness, was it guilt, or was it relief?

Does she regret it?

But the incident more than ten years ago was not planned by her, and everything was not caused by her. She was just used as a chess piece in the whole thing, a chess piece used to confuse the Nangong family, let alone regret it.

Is she sad?

It should be said that since that incident, she has been shrouded in sadness all the time, otherwise her temperament would not have changed so much that she would never go out again. She grieves for her fate, but there is nothing she can do.

Is she guilty?

For those Nangong family members who died innocently and tragically, she has always felt guilty, so she fasted vegetarian and begged the immortals to worship the Buddha in the hope of alleviating the murder of the Nangong family by the Chu family.

Today, her fiancΓ©, who was supposed to be dead, appeared in front of her.

In her heart, the most is relief.

All kinds of guilt for him, all kinds of guilt for his family.

Today, maybe it will come to an end.

Chu Xiaoxiao laughed, but the tears in the corners of her eyes also fell.

"Why are you laughing?"

Nan Er looked at the woman in front of him, and his heart was occupied by a blank and helpless, he didn't know how to face the person in front of him, and he didn't know how to face his messed up heart.

Chu Xiaoxiao wiped away the tears on her face vigorously, she smiled again for the first time in more than ten years, and that innocence and purity were exactly the same as when Nan Er first saw her.

"You're still alive...... That's nice. ”

Nanji didn't know how to answer, he couldn't raise the butcher's knife at the woman in front of him who was smirking at him.

"That'...... Why are you crying? ”

Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and there were several red marks on her face when she wiped her tears hard, and when she heard the other party's question, she could only shake her head hard.

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

Chu Xiaoxiao tried hard to suppress the tears in the corners of her eyes, but the more she tried to stop the tears, the more the tears flowed down.

She's apologizing, apologizing for everything that happened.

But what's the use of that?

Nanji exhaled lightly, he forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts, and his gaze gradually became firm again.

With the change of his mentality.

The demonic aura mixed with killing intent also swelled again, and the snow-white blade shone with a cold light as cold as frost.

To kill, or not to kill?

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a cold autumn breeze blowing on her face, and the cold feeling made her skin and bones feel a tingling chill.

She looked up in disbelief, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't know martial arts, but she could clearly feel the cold killing intent.

She shook her delicate body, and if she hadn't held on to the door frame with both hands, she would have fallen to the ground.

"You...... Want...... Kill me......"

He's going to kill her.

Chu Xiaoxiao saw the indifferent look in Nan Ershuang's eyes, and a terrifying but reasonable thought appeared in her mind.

The fingers gripped the door frame hard, and the knuckles were already white.

Nan Er held the knife, not knowing if he was still hesitating or looking for the opportunity to make the knife, anyway, he only exuded killing intent, and did not use it directly.

"You...... ...... you want to kill me"

Chu Xiaoxiao burst into tears again, the corners of her lips trembled, and the expression on her face didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.

"Because ......"

Nan Eryi gritted his teeth, and he swung a knife violently.

"Your surname is Chu!"

……

Most of the guests in the hall were already drunk, and even Sima Chunlei, who had always had an excellent amount of alcohol, was so drunk that he couldn't find the south, south, west, and north.

Jingle bell.

The sound of weapons clashing outside the house was heard, and Sima Chunlei raised his head and glanced at his father, who looked at Chu Tianba, who had already fallen on the table.

Sima Qingfeng didn't speak, but just made the word "hands-on" with his mouth.

The eldest son of their Sima family married the second lady of the Chu family, not for the sake of the marriage of the two families, but just to destroy the Chu family just like they destroyed the Nangong family back then, and then the Sima family would naturally be able to dominate Jiangcheng.

At this time, the killers of the Sima family who were hiding around should have already strangled the people of the Chu family, and the order left by Sima Qingfeng was to kill all men, women, and children, as long as his surname was Chu.

Sima Chunlei got his father's instructions and took out the Qingxiao Sword from his waist that had been cut off and the Sima family had worked hard to repair.

The blade was bright, except for a noticeable break in the middle.

He came to Chu Tianba, who had become his father-in-law, raised the long sword in his hand, and was about to stab down.

Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance.

Not good!

Sima Chunlei, who was a little dazed because of excessive drinking, suddenly woke up, and suddenly smelled this strange fragrance at this time, it should be a fraud!

Sure enough, after the aroma entered the body, the meridians in his body were soon blocked, and his limbs were weak and weak, so he could only sit on the ground.

"Hahaha, Brother Sima, you're still too anxious......"

Chu Tianba stood up with a smile, he flicked the corner of his sleeve that was stained with the smell of wine, and then looked at his son-in-law who had fallen to the ground and couldn't move anymore, and Sima Qingfeng, who was also sitting in the chair with a shocked face.

"Chu Tianba, what do you want to do?"

Sima Qingfeng quickly identified that this strange fragrance should be the legendary cartilage fragrance on the rivers and lakes, which made people's bones crisp and soft after smelling, and they couldn't move for twelve hours.

He just didn't expect that Chu Tianba would actually get this kind of strange thing that had disappeared for many years, and he was still deliberately using it against himself.

"Of course, it's the same thing that Brother Sima wants to do......"

Chu Tianba smeared the antidote under his nose in advance, so he could stand there unscathed, looking at Sima and his son with a smile on his face.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

With three clicks of their palms, the Chu family members who were already drunk at the banquet stood up one after another, and they all looked at the Sima family members who were no longer able to move with a fierce smile on their faces.

"Brother Chu, you and I are both Jianghu people, leave a line in life, and see each other in the future...... Otherwise, as long as you let our father and son go, I am willing to give up all the property of the Sima family in Jiangcheng to Brother Chu. ”

Sima Qingfeng said with a smile, he didn't even care about the lives of others, and his opening was to exchange everything the Sima family had now for him and Sima Chunlei's lives.

"Hahaha, Brother Sima, are you playing with me as a three-year-old child?"

Chu Tianba picked up the Qingxiao Sword from the ground, he put the sword in his hand and looked it up and down.

"This Qingxiao was taken from Nangong by Lao Tzu back then, although it was broken later, it was also Lao Tzu's thing......"

Swish!

Chu Tianba's eyes were gloomy and he put the sword on the ground on Sima Chunlei's neck, the sharp blade had already cut through the latter's skin, and blood slowly seeped out.

"You insatiable white-eyed wolves, took Lao Tzu's sword, and robbed Lao Tzu to capture the first place in Nangong."

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, it was indeed my fault back then. You can take this sword back now, and that Nangong No. 1, you can also take it back. ”

Sima Qingfeng is old, and only Sima Chunlei is of great use among his sons, so many times he will give priority to protecting the safety of his son Sima Chunlei.

"Whew! A broken sword, a waste man who has driven you crazy, wants to send Lao Tzu away...... There are no doors either! ”

Chu Tianba spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and this phlegm just happened to hit Sima Chunlei's face, who had just married his second daughter.

"Sima Qingfeng, don't fucking pretend to be confused for Lao Tzu here, put this aside and call me haha...... Say! Where did you hide that backprint knife? ”

Sima Qingfeng's face changed, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, the reason why he joined forces with Chu Tianba to destroy the Nangong family back then was because of the legendary back-line knife.

"Father-in-law, that knife is not a real back-grain knife at all......"

Sima Chunlei endured the sticky phlegm sliding down his face before he spoke:

"My father and I spent ten years working on that knife...... In the end, I came to the conclusion that the knife was really not a back-grain knife. ”

Phew!

Chu Tianba spit out again, looked at Sima Chunlei with a disgusting look and laughed a few more times, and the long sword in his hand was a little closer:

"What if Lao Tzu is a fool? What you said back then was a backline knife, and the baby was closer than your own son...... Now I don't admit it again, and I say with a shy face that the knife is not a reverse knife, who are you fooling? ”

"But that knife is really not the legendary reverse pattern knife, the reverse pattern knife should be a knife born with a reverse pattern, bright as day in the absence of light...... But the reverse pattern of that knife is only half of it, in other words, it is defective. ”

Sima Qingfeng sighed, although his Sima family is also a forging master family, he has only heard of the legend of the reverse pattern knife, and has never seen the real one. They have only seen descriptions of similar appearances in the notes taken by their ancestors.

"Defective products? Then Lao Tzu wants it too! Say, where the hell is that knife hidden? ”

Chu Tianba's eyes widened, and he raised the long sword in his hand, which meant to say, if you don't tell the truth now, I will cut off your son's head with one sword.

"Brother Chu, I said it...... Can I change my father and son for a way to live? ”

Sima Qingfeng is really bottomless now, the killer he arranged before has no movement, and his most important eldest son is still under the sword of others. He knew that he couldn't say it anymore, but once he said it, his father and son would be completely worthless.

Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat.

I had to bow my head.

"Hahahahaha......"

Chu Tianba laughed and raised the sword higher, the blade covered with cold light made people chill, and it also made Sima Qingfeng's heart cold a little.

"Brother Sima, do you think I'm a person who doesn't keep my word?"

"Good ......"

Sima Qingfeng can only bet all his hopes on Chu Tianba's credit now. The lives of his father, son, and even the whole family are now in the hands of Chu Tianba alone.

"It's in the back hall, under the fourth brick on the west wall of my study from left to right......"

"Haha, good!"

Chu Tianba stepped out, and before he went out, he made a neck wipe gesture at the Chu family who were waiting in the house.

That means killing them all.

"Yes!"

Immediately after the butcher knife was waved, the Chu family did not hold a blade, but the people of the Sima family all wore swords around their waists, so they ......

With the sword at their loins, cut off their heads.

"Chu Tianba!!"

Sima Qingfeng roared, but he couldn't see Chu Tianba's figure anymore.

He watched more and more of the Sima family members in the room being beheaded, and could only let out a heart-wrenching roar on the chair weakly, followed by extremely vicious curses against Chu Tianba.

Until he saw his son Sima Chunlei's head fall to the ground.

"Old brute, you keep shouting, why are you dumb?"

The Chu family smirked, and deliberately lifted Sima Chunlei's dead head, dangling in front of Sima Qingfeng, who couldn't move.

"Ah!!h

Sima Qingfeng screamed, spat out several liters of blood from his mouth and died. At the last moment of his life, he was still viciously cursing Chu Tianba, and until he died, he thought that it was Chu Tianba's fault that caused the current situation.

But if Chu Tianba hadn't prepared to do it today, would Sima Qingfeng have wiped out the Chu family after he succeeded?

The answer, of course, is yes.

……

After Nan Eryi swung his sword, he turned around and went directly.

In the house, all the tables, chairs, benches and screen ornaments were cut in half by the knife just now.

Only Chu Xiaoxiao, who was paralyzed on the ground, remained.

Yes, she didn't die.

There was a bit of unbearable sadness in the back of Nan Er's departure, and he didn't look back until he disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Yes, he can't do it.

Chu Xiaoxiao staggered up from the ground again, and she walked out of the door at a slow speed that could only rub forward with one step.

The moonlight was cool, shining on the ground like an invisible snow.

She stood in the frosty moonlight, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and was delirious.

It's like a moon palace fairy who strayed into the world.

"Hahahahaha......"

She smiled and danced in the white moonlight.

Only the autumn wind and her beat, making a whimpering sound.

At the end of the song, the dance is over, and the person is also dead.
