Chapter 16: The Forsaken
"Three... Master..."Su Muxue muttered to herself, her eyes seemed to flicker.
This made Su Muqing see hope, and she subconsciously continued to shout: "Sister, wake up quickly, look at me, I am Qing'er, your favorite Qing'er." And these are all our family. Su Muqingqiao's face was already full of tears.
"Home...... People," Su Muxue muttered to herself again.
Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she repeated again: "Family ......"
Seeing Su Muxue's eyes flashing with strange light, Su Muqing looked excited, and subconsciously wanted to walk towards Su Muxue.
"Let's go!" A deep voice came, making Su Muqing stop his steps.
Only then did she think of He Qiao, this person, just now pushed herself away, she bumped into the bloodline branch, just now, if he hadn't saved herself, she might have died.
He Qiao was pierced and hung in the air by the branch, his head hung down, and all the black green silk turned into white hair, and the white hair was withered and messy, and there was no longer any luster.
Su Muqing understood that this was because his body was no longer alive and lifeless.
Looking at He Qiao's exposed hands again, they were already full of wrinkles. Because the flesh on his palms had completely dried up.
and the extraordinarily loose gray clothes on He Qiao's body, all of which showed that He Qiao had been completely drained of vitality at this time.
"Go" was another voice, He Qiao seemed to want to scold him and let her leave as soon as possible, but because the voice was too weak and not angry at all, he seemed weak.
Su Muqing looked at Su Muxue, whose eyes seemed to be shining, and He Qiao, who was dying, and suddenly didn't know what to do, she didn't know who to believe.
Just when Su Muqing was secretly hesitating, Su Muxue suddenly looked at the corpse of the third master, and then looked at another corpse next to the third master, the corpse was a middle-aged man from the branch of the Su family, according to his seniority, he was Su Muxue's uncle.
Then he muttered "Home.... Person. When the words fell, Su Muxue discarded the third master's body with some disgust, and then looked at Su Muqing, her eyes were even brighter.
She seemed to understand that only "family" could provide her with the kind of thing she wanted most, the kind of thing that would strengthen her bloodline.
And the girl in front of her is undoubtedly the best "nourishment".
At this moment, Su Muqing suddenly understood why He Qiao urged him to leave quickly, because He Qiao already knew what Su Muxue's gaze and that voice of the family contained.
That's not a sober hope, it's a monstrous killing machine.
Without much time to think, a branch came in an instant, heading towards Su Muqing, and in the next moment, it crossed a piece and pierced through two Su Muqing.
And Su Muqing, a little girl with a heavy blood refining realm, has no ability to react at all except to close her eyes and wait for death.
The "bang" branch was suddenly bounced away.
This made Su Muqing, who was waiting for death with her eyes closed, stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously looked up at her front.
There, an "old man" with a thin back but no scruff stood there, and the "old man" stretched out his hand to block the vine.
He had pale hair, and his palms were unusually shriveled, and he didn't look like a living person.
This figure makes people feel a little distressed.
In fact, He Qiao just looked miserable just now, but he was far from dying.
There is "intention", and his life is very tenacious.
At the last moment, he deliberately protected the vital heart, and his heart, which was the root of his intention, naturally easily blocked the branch from the outside.
But his vitality was still drained by the branches, but these problems were not very big, as long as he could get rid of this vine and survive, he could replenish these vitality by absorbing the source qi of heaven and earth, and when the time came, he would naturally be able to recover.
In fact, just now he had been trying to mobilize the consciousness in his body, trying to break free from this vine.
Now, he has succeeded.
Although the price was a bit painful, he still survived, and moreover, Su Muqing was saved.
Looking at Su Muxue, who looked a little puzzled and her eyes flashed with desire, He Qiao let out a long sigh and muttered in a low voice: "No matter what, I didn't expect that the culprit of the Su family's destruction turned out to be you." He Qiao felt a little sorry that Su Muxue was affected by the bloodline, and she would want to absorb the bloodline of her family to improve herself.
She's really crazy.
However, He Qiao finally understood, understood why Su Muqing never mentioned his life experience in his previous life, why Su Muqing never thought about revenge, why Su Muqing changed so much, and why he accepted him so easily.
At that time, she was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, helpless, almost collapsed, or rather, she had collapsed, so she would nest in that straw pile covered in mud, and she would go with herself because of a little dry food and a little water.
Perhaps, at that time, she didn't care much about what kind of ending she would have.
It's just that there is still a little bit of confusion, how did Su Muqing survive at that time?
There was no time to think about it, because at this time, Su Muxue had already moved again.
With doubts on her face, she frowned and waved her hand, and as she waved her hand, two more vines burst out, shooting at He Qiao and Su Muqing respectively.
Casually pointed out the two intentions, blocking the branches, He Qiao opened his mouth and said: "Qing'er, you leave first, call everyone to leave here, the farther you go, the better." His voice was dry and hoarse, and resolute.
He Qiao's expression was solemn, Su Muxue's strength became stronger, perhaps because she devoured the vitality of several Su family members, her bloodline finally broke through the shackles of the Ning Dan Realm, and reached the point where she could fight with the Xuan Realm.
He Qiao didn't know if he could beat Su Muxue, and he didn't know at this time what level Su Muxue's strength had reached.
For He Qiao, the only good news should be that Su Muxue has not fought much with people, her combat experience is almost zero, and she is delirious at this time.
Her fighting method is single, that is, the branches derived from the vine, as long as she can find her flaws, or the weaknesses of this bloodline, you can defeat her.
Branches spread out in the courtyard, and then rushed towards He Qiao from all directions.
Some came from the sky, some came out of the ground, some rushed directly at his head, and some attacked from behind.
He Qiao naturally wouldn't stand there and wait for death, his figure was moving rapidly, and with the blessing of care, his speed was much faster than those branches, and these branches were naturally difficult to touch him.
Every time He Qiao moved, he would leave an afterimage in the same place, and then he would be pierced by the branch in the next second.
Although his strength is not as good as Su Muxue at this time, his combat experience is rich, and he is now moving up and down, seemingly being suppressed and powerless, but in fact, he is more looking for Su Muxue's flaws.
Bloodline is such a thing, it can only give a person a powerful ability, but cannot increase a person's combat experience, after all, it is not obtained by cultivation, and there will always be flaws when it is used.
And how terrifying is He Qiao's combat experience? In his previous life, he even crossed the ranks to kill one of the world-famous "Eight Great Venerables."
After only ten breaths of effort, He Qiao found Su Muxue's flaws.
Or rather, that's a flaw in the power of this bloodline.
After all, the power of the bloodline is not infinite, when its power is running to the extreme, it also needs a moment of time to breathe, that time is very short, about only half a breath, at that time, Su Muxue is unable to mobilize these branches at will.
The half-breath time is very short, but for a killer like He Qiao, the half-breath time is completely enough, and it can even be said that there is plenty of time.
A confident smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, He Qiao knew that he had won this battle
When all the branches were released by it, that is, when the power of its bloodline was running to the limit, He Qiao had already calculated that the limit number of these large and small branches was a total of thirty-three.
He Qiao's figure was still flashing.
Su Muxue didn't notice that the distance between He Qiao and her was slowly narrowing unconsciously.
"Thirty", He Qiao thought silently in his heart, and his body took a small step forward.
"Thirty-one. He Qiao concentrated, the limit was thirty-three, he only needed to wait until the thirty-second branch appeared, he should do it, and the last one, he could completely block it.
"Thirty-two" This time, He Qiao read it out directly, and at the moment when he read lightly, his figure instantly went straight towards Su Muxue, brushing the branches that burst out, and ran over dangerously.
And he was only three meters away from Su Muxue at this time.
"Thirty-three. At such a close distance, the branch appeared directly in front of him, and he had no way to dodge. Of course, he didn't need to dodge, his two fingers were pointed together as a sword, and there was a sharp edge of sword intent condensed on his fingertips.
This was formed by He Qiao's imitation of the sword intent of Sanjing Pavilion with his own will.
He Qiao's full strength easily pierced the branch with a "sword".
The cold light flashed on his fingertips, and he appeared in front of Su Muxue in an instant.
At this time, Su Muxue was unable to mobilize the plant phantom behind her at all.
She's been defeated, and if nothing else, she'll be dead in the next moment.
The fierce killing intent on He Qiao's body was announcing that death was coming.
And Su Muxue couldn't react, she couldn't mobilize the plant phantom behind her, and she couldn't dodge He Qiao's blow, in fact, she didn't mean to dodge at all, she just looked at He Qiao in a daze, her pupils were full of confusion.
