Chapter 4: The Struggle
After the two walked down the stairs, Yao Yingjie saw from a distance that the girl he had just met at the station was sitting there casually looking around. At one point, she saw Yingjie and the others coming over, so she smiled and got up and nodded. Yao Yingjie also waved to her.
"Hey...... I didn't expect you to find it so quickly. Are you all settled over there? Walking in front of the girl, Yao Yingjie was slightly nervous, picked his head with his hand, and asked with a smile.
Seeing him like this, the girl smiled lightly and said, "It's all settled, there are colleagues and friends to help, it's no problem." As for coming here, this is what you said, when I encounter difficulties and come to Qin Ji Tavern to find you, I have to come first to recognize the way? ”
"Ah...... Right, right. Hey. Yao Yingjie smiled awkwardly.
After that, Yao Yingjie suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly pulled out Brother Qin, who was following behind, and introduced to the girl: "Come, let me introduce you, this is the boss here, and my eldest brother ......"
As soon as he was halfway through the words, Brother Qin suddenly stretched out his hand, opened his mouth and said, "My name is Qin Yikun, since you are Yingjie's friend, then call me Brother Qin, if there is any trouble that cannot be solved in the future, just come to me." ”
The girl also stretched out her hand to shake Qin Yikun together, and said, "My name is Xiao Xuelin, Brother Qin, you can just call me Xiaoxue, please take care of me in the future." ”
After speaking, Qin Yikun motioned for everyone to sit down. After Yingjie and Xiaoxue sat down, Qin Yikun leaned over and whispered in Yao Yingjie's ear: "The little girl is really good, you are really a thief." I won't bother you, if you need anything, call me. After saying that, he gently patted Yingjie's shoulder twice, and then turned around and walked to the store.
Hearing Qin Yikun's words, Yingjie scratched his head nervously.
"I feel like Brother Qin is quite good." Seeing Qin Yikun walking towards the store, Xiaoxue spoke.
Yao Yingjie replied: "Yes, he is a good person and very righteous. He's been a great help to me over the years. When encountering some tricky troubles, as long as you ask him for help, he will not refuse. ”
"How did you and him meet? It seems that you are not related to each other, but more like ...... Friends, the kind of friends who live and die. But there's a lot of age difference between you, right? ”
"Well, it's a chance encounter. Actually, I haven't known him for long, maybe four years. I was 17 years old. Come to think of it, they also have a similar temper, so they get along quite well. Yao Yingjie seemed to think about these things and said slowly.
"By the way, where is your home? When you go out alone, can your family rest assured? Yao Yingjie asked suddenly.
Xiao Xuelin heard Yao Yingjie ask her this question, sighed, and said, "Actually, I ran away secretly. My family is in Fengling City, I have an older brother, I told you this, and I also have a little sister. As for coming to Akagi alone, my father and my brother both resolutely disagreed, and there was no way, so in the end they could only sneak out by themselves. ”
Hearing what Xiao Xuelin said, Yingjie said: "Oh, it turns out that your family is from the imperial capital." It's normal for your family not to let you go out alone, after all, you're a girl, and it's very worrying to come to this unfamiliar place. ”
"If I don't come out again, I'll die of annoyance in that house sooner or later." Xiao Xuelin said with some indignation.
Yao Yingjie was a little surprised, and then wanted to say some words of comfort and persuasion, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again. Since he was a child, most of the time he has lived alone, and there are so many things that he can't empathize. So, I just sighed softly, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
Xiao Xuelin looked at Yao Yingjie, and suddenly said a little playfully: "Besides, don't look at me as a girl, just think I'm weak and weak." As he spoke, he shook his right hand into a fist in front of Yingjie.
"You're not a brave man, are you?"
"Yes. I really am not. But who says that ordinary people don't have the ability to defend themselves? ”
"Oh? Do you know some fist and kick kung fu? ”
"I'm not a brave man, but my brother is. He used to teach me some martial arts skills. So, I'm not afraid of bad guys in general. ”
"Fighting skills have to be practiced and polished often, and even tempered by actual combat, but you can't definitely do it if you learn it."
"Why don't you try my skills?"
"Haha...... Forget it, in case it makes you cry, it's not good. ”
"Hahahaha......"
The more Yingjie and Xiaoxue chatted, the more they fell in love, Qin Yikun glanced at the two sitting outside in the store, talking and laughing, and felt that this picture had a little warm feeling.
"They look like a good match. If it can be done, it will be the best. It's just that this girl named Xiao Xuelin, looking at her speech and demeanor, can feel that her family is by no means an ordinary family, and her background is probably ...... Yingjie, if you really fall in love with her, the road will be difficult in the future, I hope you can think about it. Qin Yikun looked at the two of them who were talking and laughing, and he was a little worried, and his intuition told him that this girl named Xiao Xuelin had an extraordinary identity background, and it would be very difficult for Yingjie to be a pair with her.
"Since you said so, then next time I go to Fengling, you have to treat you."
"That's for sure. Rest assured. ”
The two talked and laughed all the time. After a while, Yingjie suddenly felt something, and suddenly stood up and looked to the other side of the road.
Seeing Yao Yingjie's sudden move, Xiao Xuelin was also stunned for a moment, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Yao Yingjie's gaze. But doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary? It's just an ordinary intersection, and there's nothing special about it except for the flow of people and vehicles.
"Yingjie? What's wrong? Looking at Yao Yingjie's strange behavior, Xiao Xuelin was very puzzled and asked softly.
I saw Yao Yingjie turn his head to look at the store, Qin Yikun also saw this scene at this time, and looked at Yingjie for a moment, he seemed to understand what Yingjie meant. Hurriedly went out of the store again, and instructed his subordinates to invite the people outside the store to the store as much as possible.
"Xiaoxue, you go to the store with Brother Qin first. I've got some trouble to take care of here. ”
"Huh?!" Xiao Xuelin was a little confused, what is the situation?
Qin Yikun also came over at this moment and said, "Xiaoxue, come, come with me in the store first, Yingjie has something to deal with." ”
Although she didn't know what was going on, Xiao Xuelin still listened to Yingjie's words and followed Qin Yikun to the store. Before leaving, he said to Yao Yingjie: "Then you should be careful." Although she didn't know the situation, her instinct told him that something was going to happen.
"Don't worry, it's okay." After speaking, Yao Yingjie turned around and walked towards the opposite intersection.
After walking for a long time, he stopped on the side of the intersection, and Yao Yingjie stood there, staring straight ahead. Not far ahead, I saw a young man with long gray and black hair, a small braid tied behind his head, wearing a big black windbreaker, and a flame-like pattern on the bottom of the windbreaker, standing on the other side of the intersection, facing Yingjie. The young man looked about the same age as Yingjie.
The young boy was also motionless at the moment, staring at Yao Yingjie in front of him.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yao Yingjie spoke: "Haochenchuan...... What are you doing here? ”
The young man named Hao Chenchuan still didn't speak, and when he heard Yingjie's question, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Don't speak? Then go back where you came from. ”
"You're still the same, it seems that two years have passed, and you still haven't changed." Hao Chenchuan said suddenly.
Yao Yingjie clasped his hands in front of his chest, stared at Hao Chenchuan with his eyes, and said nothing.
"It's been two years, you're finally back, and I'm here to pick you up. By the way......" Hao Chenchuan said this, and said with a wicked smile: "Look at how abandoned you have been in the past two years." ”
As he spoke, Hao Chenchuan's right palm slowly turned upward, and a circular translucent palm-sized elemental badge appeared on his palm, and after that, a raging flame appeared above the elemental badge.
Seeing this scene, Yao Yingjie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Is it the so-called duel again?" Boring trick, do you want to do it right here? ”
At this moment, because of the appearance of the flames, the surrounding pedestrians saw this scene and quickly retreated, after all, the two brave men were fighting here, and if they didn't avoid the scene, it would be extremely dangerous.
Hao Chenchuan didn't speak, but saw him flick his hand casually, and a burning fireball flew directly towards Yao Yingjie. The fireball was very fast, and when it was about to hit Yao Yingjie, he saw Yingjie wave his hand casually and disperse the attacking fireball.
"It's kind of interesting. Come on, let me see how you've changed in the past two years! Hao Chenchuan was a little excited when he saw that the fireball technique he had casually cast was scattered by Yingjie. At that moment, he mobilized his own internal source power, and in an instant, the breath up and down his body skyrocketed, and a large element badge appeared on the ground under his feet, showing a huge "Yan" character in the badge, Hao Chenchuan was in the center of the badge, his arms danced rapidly, and after only a few seconds, his right hand was raised in the air and stopped moving......
"Flame Flurry!"
With a loud shout, Yao Yingjie suddenly noticed a sudden breath fluctuation above his head. Just as he looked up, a scorching ball of flame "drilled" out of the space and smashed violently at Yao Yingjie's location.
At the last moment, Yao Yingjie reacted immediately and avoided the blow, and the fireball smashed into the ground causing a small area of flame explosion, but it was also dodged by Yingjie.
However, at the same time as the explosion occurred, another fireball appeared above Yao Yingjie's head and rushed straight down......
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The same situation appeared one after another, and eight fireballs fell one after another and blasted towards Yao Yingjie, Yingjie's dodge became more and more reluctant, and the last shot even passed down, and the subsequent flame explosion obviously affected Yingjie, only to see that he barely avoided the burning of the flames, but was still repelled by the explosion for a short distance.
Taking advantage of this wave of energy, Yingjie took advantage of the momentum to retreat a long distance and parked near his parking space.
Looking at Yingjie, who was a little embarrassed, the corners of Hao Chenchuan's mouth rose slightly, and his right hand was directly held forward, and four crimson circular magic circles suddenly appeared in the sky above Yao Yingjie's position at the same time, and the four magic circles were in the four directions of Yao Yingjie's front and back, left and right, surrounding and locking it in the center.
Seeing this scene, Yingjie was shocked and felt bad, and immediately stretched out his hand to the locomotive not far away, and at the same time, the side of the locomotive suddenly unfolded outward, and it turned out to be a hidden folding sword frame. At the same time as the sword stand opened, a wide giant sword almost a person tall suddenly ejected and flew towards Yao Yingjie.
At the same time that Yao Yingjie's hand touched the giant sword, four flame balls drilled out of the four magic circles above, shooting towards Yao Yingjie with lightning speed.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, four balls of flame hit at the same time, causing a violent explosion of flames. The smoke and dust from the explosion instantly rose and engulfed the surrounding area, and the air wave caused by the explosion even blew in front of the tavern, leaving the scene in shambles.
"Yingjie!"
Seeing all this, Xiao Xuelin was very shocked, although she was no stranger to the Divine Brave, but this was the first time in her life that she had seen the battle between the Divine Brave, she didn't expect it to be so dangerous, and she couldn't help but worry about Yao Yingjie who was drowning in the smoke and dust at this moment.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, Yingjie should be fine." Qin Yikun saw that Xiao Xuelin was a little worried about Yingjie and comforted. After all, he knows Yao Yingjie relatively well.
Xiao Xuelin nodded, and looked out of the door with some worry again.
Sou!
Suddenly, a fierce sword qi broke through the smoke and dust and rushed straight towards Haochen River. Seeing this scene, Hao Chenchuan quickly jumped sideways to avoid this sword qi. Just as his feet hit the ground, he suddenly found that Yao Yingjie had rushed out of the smoke and dust, jumped into the air and made a one-handed downward slashing motion.
In the next moment, Yao Yingjie had quickly fallen to the ground, slashing with one hand...... At this moment, Yingjie suddenly found that the Haochenchuan in front of him suddenly flashed and disappeared. The giant sword slashed through the air and smashed directly into the ground, and the ground was torn apart because it could not withstand the force.
"Magic flashes?!" Yao Yingjie was a little surprised in his heart. Then he looked ahead, about a few feet away, Hao Chenchuan stood there intact.
"The pace of the attack was not bad, but unfortunately it didn't hit." Hao Chenchuan chuckled. At this moment, Yingjie's right arm sleeve holding the sword has long been burned, and there are traces of burning on his body, but his breath is still steady.
Suddenly, Yao Yingjie raised his foot and rushed towards Haochenchuan with his sword. Seeing Yao Yingjie's actions, Hao Chenchuan's hands quickly sealed, and an elemental badge with a beast pattern appeared on the ground under his feet.
"Fire Hell!"
At the moment when the giant sword was about to touch Hao Chenchuan's body, Hao Chenchuan let out a loud shout, and an extremely strong scorching aura suddenly erupted from all over his body, directly pushing Yao Yingjie away a few feet away.
After Yao Yingjie stood firm, he hurriedly looked at Hao Chenchuan. I saw that Haochenchuan at this moment seemed to be wrapped in flames...... He was like a man on fire whose body was on fire.
Then, Hao Chenchuan jumped into the air, raised his right hand, and the flames all over his body suddenly surged towards his right hand at this moment, and a bright circular mark was gathered on the palm of his right hand.
It's going to be a nirvana attack! When Yao Yingjie saw this scene, he immediately gathered a very powerful inner source force on the giant sword, and the entire sword body was flooded with bursts of blue streamers at this moment. Then he slammed the giant sword into the ground, then grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stared at Haochenchuan in the air, ready to attack.
"Hell's Handprint!"
Hao Chenchuan's right hand formed a palm, and violently pushed it towards Yao Yingjie, and the palm mark crossed the space, rapidly expanding, and attacked Yingjie with a strong palm wind.
The powerful palm wind formed a huge wind pressure to blow directly to the ground, and Yingjie resisted the wind pressure, and his arms suddenly exerted force, drawing the giant sword and sending a powerful slash upward.
"Attack from the sky!"
The fierce and huge light blue sword qi was like a huge body of a figurative sword, and when the giant sword was withdrawn from the ground, it suddenly shot out from the crack in the ground, and the tip pointed directly at the blazing mark in the air.
Boom!
The sword qi collided with the blazing sigil! The two were in a stalemate for less than three seconds, and suddenly, a crack appeared in the mark, and the remaining strength of the sword qi shot straight into the air through the crack.
At the same time, the imprint was blocked, but the violent scorching palm wind did not stop, wrapped in the residual strength of the blazing imprint, and forcefully pressed towards Yao Yingjie's position!
Rumble!
The moment the air mark shattered, it triggered a violent explosion! The dazzling light emitted by the explosion was dazzling, and a powerful blast wave rushed into the surrounding space. At the same time, the palm wind fell to the ground, and the violent force directly pressed the ground into it.
The explosion had a large impact, and the tavern could not escape the range, and the glass on the door was directly shattered by the shock wave!
At the moment of crisis, Qin Yikun hurriedly hugged Xiao Xuelin and pressed her under him, using his body to block the shock wave of shattered glass and the flying glass shards, protecting Xiao Xuelin.
After a few moments, everything calmed down. Qin Yikun looked at Xiao Xuelin, who was protected by him, and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, how is it?" You're not hurt, are you? ”
"Qin ...... Brother Qin, I'm okay. Xiao Xuelin responded. Then, Qin Yikun slowly stood up, and helped Xiao Xuelin up by the way, and everyone else behind him also got up. The two of them looked around, and the qi wave just now had turned the place upside down. The good thing is that there were no casualties.
"Why haven't the Coalition arrived yet?" Qin Yikun muttered to himself.
Xiao Xuelin looked at the scene outside the door, turned her head and asked, "Brother Qin, is Yingjie really okay?" Now this situation ......"
"I ...... I don't know, I guess it's fine, with what I know about him. Qin Yikun replied, to be honest, he was a little unsure, and what happened just now was also a little unexpected for him.
Xiao Xuelin looked at the place where the explosion occurred just now, and her slender palm slowly clenched into a fist and placed it on her chest, her eyes full of worry.
"Heroic ......"
