Chapter Forty-Six: The Bonfire Burns Out
There was a terrifying aura in the air, and even the burly old man frowned inadvertently, this strange sense of crisis was unprecedented!
But at this moment, the arrow has to be fired, even if he wants to retreat, he can't do it!
Since you can't interrupt Zhang Yuanyi's weird state, then restrain it with force!
In just the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan's whole body was covered with a layer of heavy cyan scales, and not only that, but two dragon horns with aura were born on top of his head, and the dragon's tail shook slowly.
He was the first to complete the accumulation, and in one step, he turned into a brilliant cyan halo and shot away!
The burly old man drew his sword and ascended to heaven, raising his eyebrows!
Thousands of giant swords suddenly appeared, moving quickly around the old man, like the stars and the moon, countless giant swords gathered together, converging into a giant sword the size of a hundred zhang, and the sword qi broke through the sky!
Since this sword is called Tianque, how can it be worthy of this name if it doesn't break through a gap in the sky?
The big sword slashed down suddenly, and in contrast, Zhang Yuan was like a spark, breaking through layers of sand and dust, Jiang Han's sword was full of energy, and rushed straight to the old man's heart!
Compared with the giant sword that seemed to pierce the sky, Zhang Yuan's whole person was like a mustard seed fluorescent, but the speed was so fast, pulling out an extremely long tail, flashing in an instant!
With a single sword, all visions vanished, and time seemed to freeze, silently swallowing up all sounds.
The giant sword still maintained a downward trend, but the next moment, a small crack that seemed to be invisible spread from the giant sword, wisps of it, gradually expanding, and finally like a full moon in the water, it shattered, the sky was full of fragments, and the sword qi was full of the world!
Two more figures fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
"Poof!" Zhang Yuanyi, who fell to the ground, supported the ground with a pillar sword, and was just about to speak, when a stream of air rose in his chest, and he suddenly covered his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
The momentum of this sword not only consumed a lot of his spiritual power, but also forcibly resisted, and even his physique was extremely expensive, so that the dragon horn condensed by spiritual power on the top of his head was broken off, and the other was slowly dissipating, and all the qi in his body collapsed, obviously reaching the end of the strong crossbow!
On the other side, the old man's sword Tianque was broken in two, just standing quietly in the wind and sand, silent as a tall stone.
After a long time, the old man opened his chapped lips and said in a deep voice, "You have won!"
Zhang Yuan saluted with his fists and didn't speak, but quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth and began to adjust the injuries on his body.
The burly old man seemed to have spent a lot of strength in a sentence, and one of them did not stand firm and fell backwards.
He lay in the sand, looking at the wind and sand clouds in the sky, his breath was dying, as if he suddenly remembered some past events, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin a warm smile.
Perhaps only when people are about to die will they remember the beauty of the world, this desert, once disliked, has always looked down on the place, now it seems that there is a charm, it is really beautiful.
If at night, when the stars are high in the sky, the sun and the moon are with me, and the wind pours out my heart and takes away all the memories, then such a death is also beautiful.
The burly old man laughed, and in a voice as faint as a mosquito, he muttered to himself, "How nice it would be if you could kill me......?"
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and quietly waited for death to come.
This old man who believed in the law of the jungle in front of Zhang Yuanyi was killed by the law he believed in after all, and he had no regrets!
......
The sky is getting dark, and the raging wind is even more arrogant and proud, whimpering, like a baby's cry!
"Mo'er!" a burly old man with gray hair suddenly woke up as if he had a nightmare!
The old man was puzzled, he raised his hand and looked at his palm, and said to himself, "I'm not dead, how can it be that according to the injuries I have suffered, it will be difficult to survive no matter what!"
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
The old man turned his head suddenly! Zhang Yuanyi turned his back to him, and was constantly adding firewood to a fire, looking leisurely.
The old man subconsciously wanted to hold the giant sword beside him that had been broken in two, but before he could touch the giant sword, Zhang Yuanyi spoke again: "If I were you, I would never think about touching that giant sword again!"
A killing intent surged instantly, as if locked by the for tat of ten thousand swords, the old man suddenly stopped his hand, and he hesitated, but still withdrew his hand.
And Zhang Yuanyi still kept throwing dead wood branches into the fire, silently.
"Alas!" the old man sighed, "why don't you kill me?"
Zhang Yuanyi broke a piece of dead wood into two, made a crackling sound, and asked, "You just want to die like this?"
The old man was silent, like the wind and sand in the night.
Zhang Yuanyi continued: "I still have questions for you, why are you chasing me so hard, do I have a grudge against you? And tell me your name. ”
After hesitating for a while, the old man spoke: "In Xia Chen, from Tianque Palace!"
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, "Sure enough." ”
Since the other party said that the giant sword was called Tianque, Zhang Yuanyi had already guessed the identity of the other party, but he didn't hear the other party's words with his own ears, and he still didn't dare to judge the result.
Chen Duanyi, the great elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of Tianque Palace, a well-known sword cultivator in the rivers and lakes, not only has extremely high combat power, but also has a very high reputation, and is said to be a decent person with clear grievances!
On the rivers and lakes, it has a lot of fame and prestige.
Zhang Yuanyi asked again: "I don't remember any deep hatred with what Tianque Palace, is it so worthy of a great elder of Tianque Palace to come here to assassinate me?"
He suddenly turned around and looked into the other party's eyes and asked, "I heard that you are very upright and a rare decent person in the rivers and lakes, does it really make sense for you to bully me as a junior?"
Chen Duan was speechless for a while.
Zhang Yuan stood together, Jiang Han pointed directly at the other party's eyebrows, and said coldly: "Elder Chen, at least give me a reason, otherwise!"
Chen Duanyi looked at the almost ruthless eyes of the young man in front of him, and the moonlight long sword with a strong sword aura, and finally smiled miserably.
He smiled and said, "Since the matter has come to this, then I am not afraid that you will know this ugly thing." I didn't really want to target you, I just saw you like a human being, so I tentatively attacked. ”
Zhang Yuanyi laughed and scolded angrily: "It's ridiculous! What kind of bullshit reason to kill people?"
Just felt that Zhang Yuan was fighting like a person, and the other party actually had the face to say what kind of temptation, obviously he did his best, who was so serious about temptation?
But then Zhang Yuanyi frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and took the long sword.
Although the other party has been shooting extremely hard, but the killing intent does not seem to be strong enough to take his life, from the inside of the city, even if it is a fight between life and death, the other party seems to have really been just a test of him.
His eyes widened suddenly, thinking of a terrifying ending, if this person had never thought of taking his life, then it meant that the other party still had a backhand!
Chen Duanyi saw the other party's expression, got up with difficulty, walked to the fire, kept rubbing his hands, and said: "Alas, people can't accept the old, this river and lake is still the world of you young people after all, I originally thought that you would be the guy, and I tried to test first, but I almost took my life." ”
He suddenly covered his chest, closed his eyes to feel the injuries in his body, and said, "Oh, it turns out that I have already put my life on the line." ”
Since Zhang Yuanyi couldn't feel the other party's malice, and the other party wanted to exchange his life with him at this moment, it was delusional, so he sat down next to Chen Duanyi and said: "The predecessor has a big heart, just for the sake of an idea in his heart, he dares to test with his life." ”
Chen Duanyi replied: "Where did I ever think that you, a guy who looks like a bully, can fight so well, so you young people are still powerful." ”
"But!" Chen Duanyi suddenly hugged his fist at Zhang Yuanyi and said, "I, Chen, am not an ungrateful person, thank you for coming to the rescue!"
According to his previous injuries, it is absolutely impossible to recover on his own, even if someone can't convey his true qi, and then think of the other party's previous action of swallowing the pill, it is estimated that this person either has an alchemy master to help, or the background is extremely hard, or he is an alchemist himself.
Zhang Yuan shook his hand and said: "Actually, I just wanted to ask you who was behind you, at the beginning, you were instructed by someone to kill me." ”
The night of the desert cooled down very quickly, and it didn't take long for the fire that was still burning to gradually wither, Zhang Yuanyi threw a few pieces of dead wood into it, and asked again: "The juniors still have problems, I don't know who can make the seniors so attentive?"
Chen Duan's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he recalled the past that he didn't want to recall, he clenched his fists and replied seriously: "I took in a disciple more than twenty years ago, but I defected five years ago. There is a traitor in my Tianque Palace, who kills people and arsons and does everything, especially likes to do the act of slaughtering mortals, as his master, I must eradicate him on behalf of the sect!"
He looked at Zhang Yuanyi, "As for you, you are really similar in appearance to my disciple!"
Zhang Yuanyi laughed, "How bloody did it come these days, is it so casual to even hit your face?" I didn't expect that someone would copy my handsome face!"
Chen Duanyi looked at the bonfire and stopped talking, at this time, he really didn't have much interest and was willing to make this joke.
The flames in the bonfire shook violently under the strong wind, and the burning wood, as if unable to support the burden on the body, collapsed with a bang, raising piles of sparks and stars, flying into the sky, turning into the most twinkling stars in the night.
He looked for the rebel for five whole years, and this man, like the burning wood in this fire, was still full of anger at first, and swore to catch the guy to the death, and gradually became discouraged, and the heavy responsibilities imposed on himself became heavier and heavier, and waited until that day when he suddenly could not support it, and then died depressed and returned to nature.
Zhang Yuanyi looked at the other party's vicissitudes of life and wrinkled cheeks, and asked, "Then are you still looking for it?"
Chen Duanyi sighed, "Don't look for it, after so many years, he doesn't want to come to see me, I can't find him anyway." ”
He himself was an apprentice from childhood to adulthood, how could he not understand the character of the other party, such a smart and almost cunning person, as long as he didn't want to come out, who would be able to find him?
Moreover, he is now old, and it may not be long before he will turn into a slope of loess, and he really doesn't have that energy.
Zhang Yuanyi kicked the other party inexplicably, and scolded with a smile: "I really didn't say it, old-timer, why do you call off one if you don't have a good name?"
Chen Duanyi looked confused, "???"
Zhang Yuanyi pointed to his nose and said, "My master named me Zhang Yuanyi, isn't the one you broke is me?!"
Chen Duanyi laughed, "It's young, but it's interesting, what kind of school does it teach?"
Zhang Yuanyi said triumphantly: "I'm afraid that I will scare you to death if I say it!"
No one dared to speak to him in such a tone, and he asked, "Let's talk about it." ”
"Chaohu Academy!"
Chen Duanyi: "!!"
He gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "It's promising!"
Zhang Yuanyi asked: "That's not it, it's not too famous compared to your Tianque Palace!"
Chen Duanyi was not happy, "Chaohu Academy is so powerful that I can't compare to Tianque Palace, but if it is said that Tianque Palace has lost its cards, I Chen Duanyi will be the first to disagree." Come with me when it's dawn!"
"What's the point of going and seeing!"
"By the way, I see that you swallowed the pill just now, are you an alchemist?"
"Sort of, Grand Master Feng Yuande is my master. ”
Chen Duanyi: "......"
There's no need to talk about it, the background is Chaohu Academy, I am an alchemist, and the master is still the only one of the few alchemy masters in the world, Feng Yuande, how can you have all the good things!
