Chapter 40 (39)

Jiang Yanchen thought for a moment, smiled coldly, and said, "That's a good point! Okay, then this seat will give you this opportunity, so that I can see how far my disciples can go, and whether they can satisfy me. Xuanshuang clenched the sun and moon wheels, his steps slightly staggered, staring at him intently, taking in every subtle move of him. Jiang Yanchen looked indifferent, did not make any defenses, and always had a disdainful sneer on his face.

Xuanshuang's gaze turned to his face, but he couldn't look into his eyes, only a dead abyss. Even so, there is still a way for the two to communicate silently.

"You once asked me when I thought the best time to kill you. I didn't know the answer at the time and didn't answer. You reminded me that it's best to think carefully before making a move, and wait until you are confident before you do it. Because I only have this one chance, and if I don't succeed, I can only die. Of course I know, but if I am asked to wait indefinitely, I am afraid that I will never be able to make a move. Because no matter when and where, you always give me the feeling that it is so mysterious that it always seems unpredictable. Even if it takes me a year, I can't really get to know you. It's like this for a year and a half, even if it's ten or eight years, it won't make any difference. The more I waited, the more my faith crumbled. Just when I was almost in despair, it finally occurred to me that you are also human, and there are also people's joys and sorrows, as well as people's weaknesses, but this detail can be difficult to capture. Everyone has something they cherish, and since the hurt of love can't stimulate you, it's waiting for you to relax and be careless. For this reason, I will wait until the leader of the Li Alliance is defeated under you, and wait for you to destroy all your opponents and truly become the overlord of the world. If you ask again, I can answer, that is when you are truly satisfied, but there was a word in the first place, when you are the happiest, and at the same time when you are closest to death. Whether it is excessive arrogance or extreme surprise, it will make you relax your vigilance, after all, the human spirit cannot always be tense. It is this moment, if it can be seized, it is a chance to fight for life and death. That's the only chip I have, and let's see if I can turn the tables around and win the game?"

All thoughts flashed through his heart, and when he saw Jiang Yanchen's robe floating without wind, he suddenly jumped up and slashed in front of him with his sword. Jiang Yanchen dodged slightly, waved his arms horizontally, Xuanshuang's figure was short, and in just a few moves, he attacked seven or eight moves one after another. With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yanchen gently and skillfully defused his attack, flicked his sleeves and counterattacked, and an internal force counterattacked.

Xuanshuang flipped back several times in a row, flashing from the treetops to the ground. The sleeves of Jiang Yanchen's robe swept up, swooped down, and attacked several times in succession. Xuanshuang set up the sun and moon wheels, and his eyes condensed into a line. Several strong attacks, all of them were easily thrown off by him, and he always jumped back immediately to defuse the impact. While looking at his move route intently, his eyes rolled and his body rose vertically.

The first move, the Sun Yao Wheel attacked, Jiang Yanchen still followed the old routine, waving his sleeves and setting it up. In this way, the second move, Yuehui turned half a circle, swept up from the periphery, and slashed at his right chest. Jiang Yanchen's head and neck were turned back, and his two fingers condensed a beam of light, deflecting the roulette wheel. ...... He didn't expect that the sun and moon wheels handed down by him would have a third move. It was after many days of hard work, and it was this third move that was the final killer move...... Xuanshuang waved the moonlight wheel, turned it from the side, and hit the side of his neck with swiftness, picked up the sunshine wheel with the other hand, attacked from the other side, and shouted, "I won!"

The two looked at each other, Jiang Yanchen suddenly raised his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you think so?" Two fingers clamped the Yuehui wheel, turned his hand and twisted it, twisted the wheel into a ball of soft mud, turned it outward, and set the sunshine wheel away. Xuanshuang was shocked, shook off the sun and moon wheels, and quickly retreated.

Jiang Yanchen waved his fingers continuously, and red light flashed, running through Xuanshuang's shoulder. The heels didn't spin, they rose and fell, and flashed behind the frost. turned his palm into a knife, pressed it against the back of his neck, and said, "For the sake of fairness, if I want to kill you, I will only use three moves." It's just that my apprentice is so incompetent, which is really disappointing to this seat. Maybe it's a year of hard work. Xuanshuang's head quickly lifted, out of his control, and said awe-inspiringly: "If you want to kill, kill!

Jiang Yanchen sighed, rubbed the rough bark on the side with his palm, was silent for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the afterimage sword, and said quietly: "The grievances between you and me will have to be resolved sooner or later." Now I'm tired and don't want to put it off any longer. If you want to kill me, just please. Come on, kill me with this Remnant Sword!" raised his hand and flicked it, and the Remnant Sword dragged an arc in the air.

Xuan Shuang subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he saw his indifferent attitude, he was even more annoyed, and shouted, "Do you think I don't dare?"

Jiang Yanchen spread his left hand and said, "I didn't say you wouldn't dare." Besides, I know that you hate me to the core, and since you want to kill me, you will not let me go easily. But I also remind you that there is still only one opportunity, and it is your own business whether to seize it or not. At the same time, he turned his sleeves to the sides slightly, exposing the vital points in front of him without reservation.

Although Xuanshuang didn't believe that he had no intention of playing ghosts, he was always unwilling to let go of this unique opportunity. On the one hand, he was still wary of his conspiracy, so he lifted the afterimage sword and stabbed it fiercely. The blade of the sword pierced his chest in an instant, reaching the hilt, exiting his vest and nailing into the trunk of a tree behind him.

Xuanshuang watched the blood splash, dripping in front of his eyes, confused his vision, and suddenly his thoughts were flustered, as if a certain place in his heart suddenly collapsed, and he had struggled for many years into a void, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Why don't you dodge......? Why the hell are you able to dodge...... Speak, answer me!"

Jiang Yanchen's face was imperceptibly crossed with a grim smile, he reached out and held the blade of the sword, blood spilled from his palm, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe you are right, all along, what I care about is the pleasure of transcendence." Anything is the most beautiful when chasing. Once you actually get it, you will lose all the novelty, and not only will you get bored, but you will also feel lost in your pursuit, and I don't want to experience that feeling. Just know that you have succeeded, and that is enough. Maybe I'm a cowardly villain, and I want it all to end, so that I can avoid the last ...... Lost again. In life, no matter what achievements you have achieved, it is impossible to maintain ...... Focused. In fact, I understand this truth, but I still refuse to admit it. But I'm a man who was born to be kings, and I'd rather ...... Forever stuck in the heyday of the past, can not ...... Face the harsh realities of the future. ”

A layer of black qi slowly rose from the hilt of the sword, blooming on all sides like a lotus flower, slowly attacking Xuanshuang's wrist, and he was staring blankly, his spirit did not belong, and he was completely unaware. Jiang Yanchen smiled secretly and continued: "Anyway, in this life, you can get everything you want, even if you die immediately, there are no regrets." The only drawback...... It's just that I am optimistic about you as an apprentice with all my heart and want to accept you as a righteous son, but I have never been able to do so...... That's fine......"

Xuan Shuang's body couldn't help trembling, the black qi climbed along his arm to his shoulder, his voice trembled, and said, "There are so many people in the world who are willing to serve you, you ...... Why do you treat me differently?"

Jiang Yanchen said: "Maybe it's because you are the person I fancie, not only because I have a deep entanglement with your family, but also because you are indeed a manufacturable material, and your talent is far better than that of me...... The most important reason is that you and I have similar interests. We are all ambitious from a young age, but we are not understood by the world, we are neglected but our minds do not change, and we have persevered for many years in order to identify the goal...... But I still value face, and I can't tell people that I commit suicide in fear of sin. Rather than die at the hands of someone else, you should kill me......"

Xuanshuang spoke incoherently and said, "You...... Do you think I'm going to be grateful to you? I want to defeat my opponent with my own ability, and I don't need to accept handouts from anyone, especially my enemies!"

Jiang Yanchen said: "I don't want your gratitude, let alone extravagant expectations...... Your mercy. I only hope that after I die, even if you forget me, it's fine, but ...... Don't ...... anymore Hate me. That's who I am...... A final plea. At this time, that burst of black qi had completely invaded Xuanshuang's body, spreading in all directions, and gradually weakening, finally merging with him.

Xuanshuang was angry and anxious, and suddenly pulled out his long sword. Jiang Yanchen slipped and fell, his vest leaned against the trunk of the tree, blood flowed all over the ground, he was already dying, and his eyes only had a slight glimmer of light. The Afterimage Sword in Xuanshuang's hand fell off, and he rushed forward and grabbed his shoulders, shook it vigorously, and shouted, "Hey, you won't die, will you? You're not a monster, aren't you? No matter what you get hurt by anything in the world, you can't die, right?"

Jiang Yanchen raised his cloudy gaze and said lightly: "It's useless, you don't know...... The Remnant Sword was originally ...... So I said a long time ago that there is only the afterimage sword in this world...... to be able to kill me. Xuanshuang hurriedly said: "But...... But are you really willing to give up everything you have?

Jiang Yanchen said: "The highest position, the most sacred and the loneliest. When you get to my point, you will really understand...... I, there is nothing to be reluctant to. Whether it can rule the world, in fact...... It's all just irrelevant. As long as the world knows, in the battle with the leader of the Li League, it was me who won in the end, and the Jianghu Righteous Martial Arts Alliance lost completely...... Scold...... Once owned, it is forever. I have lived on earth for twenty years, and I finally ...... Don't suffer this sin again. I can see everything. As he spoke, his eyes were closed, his head tilted to the side, and he fainted.

Xuanshuang's hands froze in the air, and her face was distorted by fear. I searched hard in my head, trying to find a few words that could persuade him to be excited, and said indiscriminately: "I...... I forgive you, I say I don't blame you anymore......! I don't want you to die, even if ...... Even if I stab you with a sword, the grudge between us will be over, and we will ...... I promise you that you will continue to be your apprentice, and we will continue to travel all over the world and expand our territory as before...... Even if the Central Plains is already your territory, there are still overseas ...... It's an infinite and vast territory over there, okay...... Okay, okay?"

Jiang Yanchen's expression was still lifeless and unresponsive. Xuanshuang was even more flustered this time, and shouted without choosing a word: "You...... I don't want to see it...... Feed!...... Father-in-law!" Jiang Yanchen's eyes suddenly opened, and a look of hope flashed in his expression, and said, "You...... What did you just call me? Again?...... Ahem. ”

With tears in her eyes, Xuan Shuang wiped it hard, her face was full of stains, and she sobbed: "You...... Didn't you always want me to be your adopted son? Okay, I promised you, but I still can't?"

Jiang Yanchen smiled faintly, looking more and more powerless, and said, "Okay, I can hear you call me 'father-in-law', and I have no regrets in my life." I...... I said early on that whatever I wanted, I would get one day...... Look, what's that?" Xuanshuang sniffed and said, "I just hate your self-righteousness. ”
