Volume 1 Reading Road Chapter 19 The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
"You didn't come when your city guards were fighting to the death, you didn't come when the Demon Hunter League was fighting for our lives, and you didn't come when the three major families were not afraid of death. ”
"You didn't come when Old Man Zhong's sword strength was at its peak, you didn't come when my Ah Diao's sword intent was the strongest, and you didn't come when the old man finally entered the Five Realms and joined the Dao. ”
"Wait until everybody is dead, tired, tired, and you're coming. ”
"Just like seventeen years ago, you like to hide behind the curtain and watch thousands of battles to make the final scene. ”
Ah Diao carried the ancient knife, his eyes were as clear as ever, and he said calmly: "You think you look down on the world, but you have never been taken into account by me." ”
In front of the inn, corpses are strewn all over the field, and there is almost no place to stay.
The whole city will be annihilated.
The city lord Wan Ren stood between the blood and water, letting the night rain stir, just listening quietly without any movement.
The four generals behind him raised their killing intent and did not hide it.
Ah Diao seemed to be unconscious, and continued: "Even if you appear at the moment when Old Man Zhong wields the last three knives, no matter what you did before, at least you still have the courage to not let me look down on you." ”
"But in the end, with our hands, we got rid of the power of the Demon Hunting Alliance and the three major families, and even did not hesitate to catch up with our countless soldiers, who were good at writing, calculating, and courageous...... I always thought that the literati cat was a beast living in the world, but now it seems that you are not as good as him. ”
Wan Ren was silent for a long time, and finally just chuckled: "Shi Niang told me that she didn't want you to die, and I had already promised her." But why do you want to die? ”
Ah Diao's eyes trembled slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Shi Niang is there for you?"
"Old Man Zhong's Five Realms and Three Swords are certainly respectable and terrifying, and the power of that extremely powerful sword can be felt from afar in the City Lord's Mansion, but if it weren't for Shi Niang grinding by my bedside, I would have wanted to come over and see it earlier. ”
Wan Ren said: "Shi Niang, this goblin, serves men with much more kung fu than your mouth......"
The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the thunder was louder.
Those words were like a sharp sword, striking somewhere softest in the young man's heart.
Ah Diao's heart is like ashes.
He didn't continue to listen, but chose to go with the knife.
After half a night of fighting, the knife intent in Ah Diao's body was almost empty, so this knife was not sharp, it was not killed, it was just the instinctive reaction of a teenager after hearing those words.
The ancient knife cut through the night in the air, buzzing, with unwillingness and pain.
Wan Ren sneered in place, as if watching a joke.
The four Zhencheng generals behind him walked up, the peak of the four realms, and each of them was comparable to the strength of Ah Diao in his heyday, so in the face of this knife, they each only had one palm.
Scatter the knife with one palm.
The other three palms were imprinted directly on Diao's chest.
This smiling young man who likes to wear a hat, wear a shabby linen coat, walk a pair of straw sandals with mud, hang a crimson wine gourd, and carry an ancient knife, finally fell in the wind and rain on such a not very good night, like a lost child, not knowing life and death.
Time passes slowly.
Maybe it's a long time, maybe it's just a moment.
Diao didn't wake up.
City Lord Wan Ren had a solemn cold eye, and slowly spoke in the night: "Bring his knife and send someone to clean up this place before dawn." In addition, we will take over the business of the three major families and the Demon Hunter Alliance in the future......"
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
As a king.
Yes, by all accounts, he was the final winner in the city tonight.
He's gotten a lot.
A lot of power, a lot of control, a lot of the three major families and the Demon Hunting Alliance have accumulated wealth for many years.
But he still wanted Diao's knife.
It's a bit too greedy.
Then a voice sounded in the darkness: "You can't take that knife." ”
The voice is not loud, the tone is not thick, the tone of the words is gentle, the pronunciation is very standard, and the meaning to be expressed is also very clear.
The four town generals were a little surprised, and they raised their heads at the same time.
City Lord Wan Ren's movements as he turned around paused slightly, and he also raised his head.
Then they saw another teenager.
......
Tang Qing had been standing in front of this inn for a long time, almost half a night.
It was time for the army tide of Kunlun City to surround this inn, and he was here.
He was here when the forces of the Demon Hunter Alliance and the three major families appeared.
Old Man Zhong was here when he dragged the blunt knife into the city.
The first time Diao drew his knife, he was here.
He was here when the two knives fought with the entire Kunlun City.
Until Old Man Zhong died after entering the Five Realms, Ah Diao didn't know if he was alive or dead after receiving three palms, he was still here.
He was always here and never left.
Witnessed everything.
Bear everything.
It's just that from beginning to end, except for Old Man Zhong and Ah Diao, no one has paid attention to the existence of this foreign boy.
Whether it was the tide of troops all over the city, the countless masters of the three major families and the Demon Hunting Alliance, the bottomless literati cat in the city government, or the city lord Wan Ren and the four major town generals at this moment, they didn't notice that there was another young man standing in the night rain.
Until he spoke: "You can't take that knife." ”
Tang Qing stood in front of Ah Diao and repeated this sentence.
City Lord Wan Ren stared at him for a long time, making sure that the strange young man's steady mood was not deliberate, he really didn't have the slightest fear, or even a little panic.
It was a peace carved into the bones.
It's like something you were born with.
This is very counterintuitive.
"What did you just say?"
"I said you can't take the knife. ”
"Why?"
"That knife isn't yours. ”
"What if I have to take it?"
"I don't say yes. ”
Wan Ren was a little stunned, and the four major town generals behind him were also stunned.
They were sure that the young man in front of them did not have a trace of true strength in his body, and he had not even reached the lowest innate realm in his cultivation.
And standing in front of him were five masters at the peak of the Four Realms, almost the existence he wanted to look up to.
So, why did he dare to say that?
City Lord Wan Ren's emotions were a little complicated, and he didn't understand why he wanted to waste his words with him.
Tang Qing's emotions are also a little complicated now.
If he hadn't chosen Diao to be his bodyguard and was in a hurry to get out of the city, maybe tonight's incident wouldn't have happened, at least, not so soon.
And when it really happened, I was like the calmest bystander, just watching, listening, and unable to do anything.
It's a bad feeling.
He didn't like it very much.
So he stood up and wanted to defend Diao and his knife.
Wan Ren didn't want to waste any more time, he raised his right palm, and murderous aura gathered in the palm of his palm, condensing a few breaths, but it never fell.
Or rather, it can't be left behind.
Because a beam of starlight appeared in Tang Qing's eyes.
The starlight itself is soft, but when it is very close, it can be very dazzling and even dazzling.
Wan Ren and the four major town generals stared at the starlight, and the only emotion in their hearts was fear.
Nothing could frighten them except death.
In the next second, the starlight pierced the night, through the wind and rain, and went straight under the pupils, penetrating the five people.
The pinnacle of the four realms, in front of that beam of starlight, seemed to be just a joke.
Tang Qing raised his eyes and stared at the sky, as if he had seen the source of the starlight, and he said softly, "Thank you, teacher." ”
And in the distant Tang Kingdom, a scholar stood at the gate of the city, and his eyes were also shining with stars.
He smiled and nodded, gentle as a ray of light.
......
