Chapter 20: A Terrible Calculation
He Qiao was silent, he understood what the middle-aged man in front of him meant, he was saying that what Su Muxue did actually had nothing to do with him, devouring these people in the Su family was what she wanted to do but didn't do, and the middle-aged man just completely stimulated her bloodline, and the bloodline instinct suppressed her soul, manipulated her body, and did what she wanted to do but couldn't do.
He didn't know whether to believe the middle-aged man's words or not. It stands to reason that there is no need for him to lie to himself, but he has never heard of someone being manipulated by blood, which is contrary to his previous understanding.
Also, Su Muqing in her previous life also had a bloodline, her bloodline was naturally exactly the same as Su Muxue, and she should be stronger than Su Muxue, Su Muqing at that time was able to fight with the peak of the Xuanji Realm, and in her previous life, she had also used the power of the bloodline several times, but there was never any sign of getting out of control.
Also, a few days ago, when Su Muxue used her bloodline for the first time, wasn't it also good, and it didn't get out of control, why did her bloodline get out of control as soon as this man appeared.
"Are you thinking that I'm lying to you? After all, the last time she activated the bloodline, there shouldn't have been anything abnormal. Seeing He Qiao's uncertain face, the middle-aged man showed a playful smile.
Looking at the middle-aged man, He Qiao nodded slowly, and then asked again: "What is her bloodline?"
You can call it a "boundary" vine, or a "boundary" tree, whatever you want, whatever you feel it looks like, it's called whatever it is. The man smiled and patiently answered He Qiao's question.
He Qiao: "......."
He Qiao was speechless, this name was really random enough, it was called whatever it was, but he still keenly grasped the word "boundary" in the middle-aged man's words.
This word gave him a feeling of palpitations, a feeling of standing on the edge of the abyss, which could be swallowed up by the endless darkness and fear in front of him at any time, which was an inexplicable but incomparably real feeling.
This word made He Qiao's body tremble slightly, which was a manifestation of his trying his best to suppress his body's instinctive fear.
"Alright, I've answered a few of your questions, now it's time for you to answer me a question. The middle-aged man stared at He Qiao and said seriously: "You seem to have a very strange power in your body, not the power of blood, nor the source qi of heaven and earth, you should have defeated this girl with this power, right?
"Yi", slightly silent, He Qiao nodded and spit out a word, he chose to answer the middle-aged man's question.
"Yi?" the middle-aged man frowned and pondered, he was thinking about what kind of concept the "meaning" in He Qiao's mouth was.
This kind of power, he had never seen or even heard of before, he couldn't understand the meaning of He Qiao's mouth, just as He Qiao couldn't understand the "boundary" in his mouth.
"It's amazing power, you're good. The middle-aged man nodded and praised He Qiao.
The two chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, as if they were asking about each other's recent situation.
And at this point, the two finally finished talking, at least, the middle-aged man felt that they were done.
So, he made a shot.
There was no hesitation, no temptation.
A finger pointed out, and as his finger stretched out, a vine ignored the space and appeared in front of He Qiao out of thin air.
In an instant, He Qiao reacted, he also stretched out his palm, grabbed the direction pointed out by the middle-aged man's fingers, and accurately grabbed the vine.
However, this did not help.
The vines easily shattered his will, penetrated his palm, and then spread up along his arm, directly piercing his entire arm.
Fortunately, He Qiao reacted quickly enough, and his figure instantly retreated, and at the cost of sacrificing an arm, he narrowly avoided the attack of the vine.
He Qiao's face was very ugly. The gap is too big, and the middle-aged man in front of him must also have the blood of the Boundary Vine, but when he shot at himself just now, there was no Boundary Vine mark on his forehead, and there was also no Boundary Vine Phantom behind him, which showed that this person did not activate his bloodline at all.
The finger just now was just a casual blow from him, but even so, it was still not something He Qiao could resist, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, he would have died with that finger just now.
The middle-aged man's brows furrowed, this finger, whether it was speed or strength, was much weaker than he expected.
He knew that his strength had been weakened a lot, in fact, when he came to this place, his cultivation was completely suppressed, and all he could use was the power of the bloodline.
However, even the power of the bloodline was also suppressed, and he was very dissatisfied with the fact that he didn't kill the little guy in front of him, so he decided to strike again.
"Wait. Seeing that the middle-aged man was going to continue to do it again, He Qiao hurriedly spoke, he was decisively instigated, an opponent of this level, he couldn't resist at all, if he was alone, then forget it, and fight it.
But now he is not alone, behind him is Su Muqing, and there are Su Muqing's family on the side, these people, he doesn't want to give up.
"What, do you have anything else to say?" the middle-aged man smiled, as if he knew what He Qiao wanted to say.
"I think, we can still talk, your purpose should just be to take away the eldest lady, you don't have any grudges with the Su family or me. Seeing the middle-aged man's movements pause, He Qiao hurriedly spoke.
"Are you begging for mercy?" The middle-aged man showed a playful smile, and without waiting for He Qiao to nod, he continued: "It's a pity, I hate soft bones, so you better die." The voice fell, and another point was made.
He Qiao: "......"
In his previous life, he was a notorious killer and the number one thief in the world, he dared to cross the ranks to assassinate the eight great deities of the world, and dared to break into the palace, but he was said to be a soft bone?
He Qiao was angry.
However, it's useless to be angry, you still have to run. Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to strike again, He Qiao directly hugged Su Mu's arms, then turned around and ran.
He Qiao's movements were fast, but the middle-aged man was obviously faster, and much faster.
When He Qiao took the second step, the plant phantom had already appeared in advance of his footing, and if he landed this step, the vine would inevitably pierce his chest.
He Qiao's figure did not stop, and his footsteps were still rushing forward, but at the moment he landed, his figure deviated slightly to the right.
"Poof" vines pierced his flesh and blood without accident, piercing his body, but instead of stabbing the heart that should have been stabbed, it grazed his heart and passed through, and He Qiao just deflected to the right, just avoiding this fatal blow.
The flesh was pierced by the vines, but He Qiao's figure did not pause at all, he was still flying forward, his speed was very fast, but in an instant, he had already flown to a place ten zhang away.
In the distance, the middle-aged man was still standing there, motionless, from beginning to end, he had a faint smile on his face, it was an extremely confident smile, as if no matter what He Qiao did, it would not surprise him.
In other words, whatever the outcome, it was all in his expectation.
"Snort" The sound of flesh and blood being pierced, He Qiao's footsteps suddenly froze, and his figure froze there.
He Qiao lowered her head and looked at Su Muqing in her arms, she didn't know when she woke up.
No, she didn't wake up, she just opened her eyes, her pupils were still cloudy, just like Su Muxue just now.
At some point, she held the dagger in her hand, and the dagger pierced He Qiao's sternum and plunged it into his heart.
However, this can't really hurt He Qiao, because for He Qiao, it should be the most fragile heart of the human body, and it is precisely the strongest defense of his body, which is the origin of the will, the intentional protection, Su Muqing can't hurt him at all.
Su Muqing's move only made his body pause.
That's all.
However, enough is enough.
In an instant, a vine appeared in front of He Qiao out of thin air, like a sharp arrow, directly inserted into his heart, and then easily crushed his will and pierced his heart.
"Uh" There was a low and strange sound in his throat, as if he had exhaled his last breath, his sharp gaze suddenly froze, his head lowered, and the breath on his body gradually became weaker.
The middle-aged man didn't look at He Qiao again, but looked at Su Muxue and said softly, "Let's do it." ”
Su Muxue slowly took a step forward, and then retreated. The Boundary Vine Phantom behind her has also been shaking there, but it has not moved for a long time.
"No, don't. Su Muxue seems to be struggling, and it seems that she is just **.
"No, he's coming, let's go. There seemed to be a hint of clarity in her eyes, and she was muttering to herself.
"It's so strong-willed, it's interesting. When the middle-aged man saw Su Muxue's performance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the surprise was full of surprise.
He knew that Su Muxue's soul had not yet transformed into a soul. Su Muxue was able to maintain a wisp of sobriety under the erosion of the Jie Teng bloodline with only his soul, which even he didn't dare to imagine, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the Jie Teng's bloodline was.
Therefore, he was very satisfied with Su Muxue's performance, so he simply stopped urging and just watched Su Muxue standing there struggling in pain.
He wanted to see how far Su Muxue could go.
The power of Su Muxue's bloodline is very strong, at least, it is far much stronger than when he first awakened his bloodline, this level of bloodline, completely activated, released the nature of the "realm", can easily affect the sanity of a late-stage cultivator of the Ning Dan Realm.
And Su Muxue, building the foundation realm, didn't even have a soul.
In fact, Su Muxue's bloodline power could only reach the peak of the Ning Dan Realm, and it was also because she did not have a soul, and her soul limited her strength.
Just like He Qiao, he obviously has more powerful power in his body, but he can't control it or release it.
If Su Muxue could enter the Qi Acceptance Realm and have a complete soul, she would never be easily manipulated by this bloodline, and her strength would not be limited to the peak of the Ning Dan Realm.
I don't know how long it took, the struggle in Su Muxue's eyes gradually disappeared, and finally turned back to turbidity, she couldn't resist the invasion of the bloodline after all.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Girl, we should leave too, I can't stay here for too long." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, as if he was worried about something.
With a gentle "en", Su Muxue licked her lips and said, "It's okay to do it once." ”
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen branches and phantoms burst out from behind her, stabbing towards the confused Su family.
