Chapter Twenty-Three: Life and Death Hang in the Balance
The people around were dumbfounded, Fang Cai's blow was extremely powerful, and it seemed that the attack was not light, and it was obvious that it had a killing intention. Who would have thought that just one sentence would lead to the disaster of killing? Who would have thought that as an elder of the Shushan Sect, he would be so heavy on his own disciples?
Song Qingshan on the side looked dazed, just stood in place, Elder Wuwei had always been mediocre in the back mountain, why was this blow so powerful? The only thing he could think of was that he had taken some kind of elixir, and in the cultivation realm, there was only one kind of elixir that could greatly improve his cultivation in a short period of time. When he remembered that he was suddenly replaced, and then looked at Li Yunfei's arrogance in the back mountain, he suddenly seemed to understand something, so he nodded thoughtfully.
Elder Wuwei, on the other hand, only looked at the injured young man with a blank face, as if nothing had happened to him.
At this time, Li Yunfei walked into the water room with a smile on his face, leaned over, looked at the dying Lu Chengfeng, patted his face gently, and said with disdain in his eyes, "Boy, you can't fight me." I told you, there is a price to pay for coming out strong!"
Lu Ping'an, who was on the side, blushed, clenched his fists and was about to make a move, but Lu Chengfeng grabbed him first, and said slowly to his side, "Help me...... Help me up!"
"Yo! You still dare to get up, now you have tasted the taste of being beaten!" Liu Tianci also covered his mouth and smiled at this time.
After a few people helped him up, Lu Chengfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed away the others, forcibly endured the sharp pain in his chest and stood with him, his eyes were like two sharp knives straight into the past, and a chilling smile appeared on his face, "If you want revenge, even if you come to me, if you have the ability, just take my life." But don't bother my brother, please let him go down the mountain!"
Li Yunfei snorted coldly, took two steps back, and took out the sharp sword behind his back, the tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat, "Master, I want to see if you are really not afraid of death today?"
The night was as cold as water, the long sword was exuding a compelling cold, and the tip of the sword was only a fraction of a fraction away from the surging Adam's apple, as long as he sent the sword forward, Lu Chengfeng would die on the spot immediately. Everyone in the back mountain stopped talking, no one dared to approach, their eyes focused on the two people in the field, and the atmosphere also became solemn at this moment, looking murderous.
"As long as you let go of the gourd, I can promise you anything...... It's a big deal, if I don't become a disciple of this Shushan Mountain, I will!" Lu Ping'an behind him was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and his eyes were already slightly red when he spoke.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Hearing Liu Tianci's words that added fuel to the fire, Lu Ping'an couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed out like a mad cow, the guy ran away when he saw that the situation was wrong, and after he looked around at the crowd, he finally stopped his eyes on the old man in the field. But I saw him walking over slowly, his eyes were already full of tears, and he pleaded with a face, "The stuffy gourd has no father and mother since he was a child, and he has been bullied by everyone, and he finally went to Shu Mountain, I beg the elder to show mercy to him, let him go once, I Lu Ping'an will be grateful to Dade!"
"Elder, Shushan is the Taishan Beidou of the cultivation realm, if this matter spreads, not only will your reputation be damaged, but I am afraid that Shushan will also be disgraced because of this. Song Qingshan had the courage to intercede for Senior Brother Lu, and hoped that the elders would think twice!" Song Qingshan also lowered his voice at this time.
The strong in the cultivation world are respected, and the begging for mercy of the weak will only be exchanged for more contempt and intensification.
"Peace, don't beg him! A dignified seven-foot man, how can he succumb to such a villain!" In this situation, although Lu Chengfeng's heart was like a knife for a while, he always endured the pain in his body and mind, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Everything is because of me, if you are still a man, don't use some indiscriminate means." Don't let a piece of waste look down on you until you die!"
Li Yunfei snorted coldly and nodded with interest, "Okay, only one of you can live, it's up to you how you choose?"
"Then you put the gourd in it...... I'll leave you at your disposal......" Lu Ping'an heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and shouted again and again.
As he spoke, he ran briskly.
Lu Chengfeng's eyes were quick, and he stuffed the silver and a piece of brocade into his waist, kicked him out, and then shouted at Liu Yunfei, "Do it!"
"Slow!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Elder Wuwei again, but seeing that his expression was slightly softened, he said after a while, "Qingshan, you will send Lu Ping'an down the mountain immediately!" Then he looked around, "The rest of the disciples, except for him, will all go back to the house to rest!"
Before he finished speaking, Song Qingshan took up the flying sword and took Lu Ping'an, who was reluctant to leave, away from Shushan at a very fast speed. Although the registered disciples were unwilling, they still dispersed under Liu Tianci's reprimand, and he returned to the house in the end.
There were only three people left in the courtyard, and it was unusually quiet.
"Elder, what do you mean by this?" Li Yunfei's tone seemed to be a little puzzled, and he was dissatisfied.
"This man has been seriously wounded, and his life is not long in coming! It is better to let him fend for himself than to kill him with his own hands and cause unnecessary trouble!
It is true that the Li family is powerful, but they do not dare to be presumptuous in Shushan, although the mountain is 'the mountain is high and the emperor is far away', but there are many ears and eyes, and if the wind leaks, Shushan will be investigated, and he will not escape the involvement. It is better to throw him to the barren mountain opposite, and let him die for himself, and then he will only be eaten by a wild beast. As soon as he thought of this, he shook his wrist, put the sword back, and then called Liu Tianci loudly, and threw the dying Lu Chengfeng on the suspension bridge and didn't forget to kick him a few times before leaving.
Li Yunfei admonished all the registered disciples in the back mountain, "Lu Chengfeng confronted the elders, and he died innocently, if anyone dared to approach him, he would end up like him!"
At this moment, a lightning bolt streaked across the dark night sky, and after the thunder, the rain poured down, and the raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground 'ticking'.
In just a moment, the rain had soaked through Lu Chengfeng's tattered clothes, and with a few coughs, a mouthful of blood spurted out violently, and the blood mixed with the rain flowed down his face. At this moment, he was like a puddle of mud that had been trampled by many people, his two hands tightly grasped the wooden planks on the suspension bridge and slowly squirmed forward, but the blood behind him was washed away by the rain in a blink of an eye. Relying on the remaining trace of thought, he continued to crawl forward slowly, and every time he crawled, it seemed like exhausting all his strength, and the suspension bridge that he thought could be easily walked on before seemed particularly long at the moment.
Looking at the thick white fog in front of him, he suddenly felt very tired, and the heavy wheezing sound seemed to drown him out, but there was always a red shadow lingering in his mind, he had promised to protect her well, and now he must not die...... Must live......
Liu Tianci thought that he was not angry when he was beaten before, and rushed to the suspension bridge in the rain to kick him hard, and kept scolding something......
The thin monkey and the fat cow standing not far away couldn't hold back any longer, and pushed him away suddenly, ignoring the scolding behind him, and walked quickly over the suspension bridge, and the two of them set up Lu Chengfeng left and right, and walked towards the opposite mountain forest. The two of them looked around, and then they found a cave in which they could hide from the rain, and found some firewood and grass to spread in the cave, and laid him flat in the cave, and then got up and let out a long sigh.
The thin monkey took some steamed buns from his waist and put them aside, and said with a worried expression, "The two of us are incompetent and can't heal Senior Brother Lu's internal injuries." That's all I can do!"
Lu Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes, and said in a voice like a gossamer, "The two of you are deeply affectionate, Lu Chengfeng...... Toothless and unforgettable!"
The two looked at each other speechlessly, but in the end they had to sigh helplessly, shook their heads, and slowly walked out of the mountains and forests.
In the woods, the mountain wind whistled, and the thick raindrops whipped everything outside the cave like whips. Lu Chengfeng lay in the cave, his whole body relaxed involuntarily, his eyelids were not closed, and the only consciousness he had dissipated unconsciously, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
In a trance, he felt something flutter and jump on his chest, and from time to time a faint tingling sensation hit him, and several sharp bird calls echoed in his ears.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw that Obsession was shaking his already soaked feathers, and his sharp eyes were staring at him. He slowly stretched out his hand to touch the wet feathers of obsession, and the corners of his mouth barely squeezed out a smile, "I didn't expect that I, Lu Chengfeng, would have you and me as my companion at the last moment of my death!"
The obsession seemed to understand, squatting down and rubbing his chest with the bird's head, and the cry was gradually getting smaller, like a well-fed baby, muttering something, but it was extremely well-behaved.
Lu Chengfeng's breathing gradually weakened, and his whole body became more and more cold, and he shivered from time to time.
Seeing him like this, his obsession also kept jumping up and down in the cave as if he was obsessed, and his screams became more and more terrible. However, Lu Chengfeng no longer had the strength to say anything, and his eyelids, which had been holding on for a long time, finally drooped. At the moment when the last glimmer of light dissipated in front of his eyes, a faint fragrance that seemed to be similar came to his nose, and his body subconsciously shook again.
In an illusion, he seemed to see a bright red color approaching him, and there was a cry in his ears, "Ride the wind, wake up...... Don't scare me!"
"Okay?"
Lu Chengfeng's consciousness was already very vague, his chest tightened for a while, and he felt very difficult to breathe, but he still forced to open his already heavy eyelids, a familiar and beautiful face slowly reflected his pupils, he barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "Why did you come? I'm not dreaming, right?"
Shangguan Xing'er shook his head again and again, his slender hand slowly slid to his face, wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and said with a distressed face, "It's too late!"
"I'll see you again before I die, I'm ...... Die without regrets!"
Lu Chengfeng's pale face showed a rare hint of relief.
