Chapter Twenty-Five: Dreaming of Red Dust, Chivalrous Vertical and Horizontal (2nd Update)

"Shaoxia, Shaoxia, wake up!" Faintly, Jiang Huan's ears came, the voice of a weak and gentle woman.

"Hmm...... Are you?" Jiang Huan gradually opened his eyes and found that there was a gentle girl of seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Young man, you're awake! Thank God!"

Jiang Huan propped up the edge of the bed with his hand, got up slowly, and looked at the smiling woman in purple beside the bed suspiciously.

Seeing this, the woman in purple immediately sat on the stool next to the bed, pulled Jiang Huan tightly, and explained to Jiang Huan the beginning of the matter.

......

Half a month ago, a woman named Ruan Yunlan was robbed by bandits on the road, and just as the bandits returned to the cottage, a young man in white appeared, holding a three-foot long sword and fighting hundreds of bandits.

In the end, the young man fought bloodily to rescue Ruan Yunlan and sent this Ruan Yunlan to the city, when he arrived in the city, the young man in white also fainted because of his injuries, Ruan Yunlan had to use the jewelry on his body as money, and took the young man to an inn to recuperate.

This young man in white is Jiang Huan who is lying on the bed now, and the woman in purple in front of the bed is Ruan Yunlan.

"In that case, Jiang would like to thank Miss Ruan for taking care of her for many days! Please accept Jiang Huan's bow!" Jiang Huan stood up and said with his fists clenched.

"What did the young man say? The little woman was begged by the young man that day, otherwise the little woman's life would be at rest! How dare she be worshiped by the young man today!" Ruan Yunlan saw Jiang Huan salute and hurriedly got up to stop it.

Ruan Yunlan helped Jiang Huan up, Jiang Huan sat on the bed, leaned his back against the edge of the bed and said, "Jiang Mou dared to ask Miss Ruan, I don't know if Miss Ruan knows Jiang's injury, how long will it take to recover?"

"Shaoxia don't have to worry, Shaoxia's injuries have fully recovered!But because the little woman can only feed Shaoxia some porridge in recent days, Shaoxia will feel a little weak!" Ruan Yunlan saw Jiang Huan's doubts and said.

......

Two days later, Jiang Huan's injuries were fully recovered, and his physical strength returned to normal, so he was practicing in the courtyard of the inn.

"Hahaha, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves..."

I saw Jiang Huan holding a sword in his right hand and a dragon at his feet, laughing loudly while waving his double swords.

The sword in Jiang Huan's hand is like a white spitting letter, a layer of silver-white light on the sword body shines, when it is waved, there is a burst of sound of breaking the air, the body is like a dragon shuttling, the long sword surrounds the body, sometimes light, a sword is pointed, a silver-white sword qi shoots out, and the leaves in front of it fall in response.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang!"

Suddenly, a woman's shout came from outside the courtyard, and Jiang Huan immediately put away his sword and stood up, calming the true qi in his body.

"Yun Lan, why are you so flustered?" Jiang Huan held the sword behind him with his right hand, stepped out, and saw Ruan Yunlan with a panicked expression and confused steps.

"Brother Jiang, I... I just met those bandits half a month ago! They have been following me..."Ruan Yunlan suddenly threw herself into Jiang Huan's arms, and glanced behind him uncertainly.

When Jiang Huan heard this, he looked around like a torch, caressed Ruan Yunlan's back with his right hand, and after letting her mood gradually calm down, he helped her up, put his hands on Ruan Yunlan's shoulders, and comforted her.

"Yun Lan, you don't have to worry, they don't dare to act rashly in this acropolis! We will wait here for a few days, and when they leave, I will escort you home!"

After Ruan Yunlan calmed down slightly, she nodded lightly.

Jiang Huan saw Ruan Yunlan agree, and after helping her back to her room to rest, he continued to return to the courtyard to practice swords.

In this way, Jiang Huan and Ruan Yunlan stayed in the Acropolis for another six days, and during this time, Jiang Huan also found the traces of those bandits, because he was worried about Ruan Yunlan's safety, he did not go to the government to report to the official, but was cautious and vigilant.

On the seventh day, Ruan Yunlan suddenly received a letter from home, in which he said that Ruan Yunlan's father heard that Ruan Yunlan had been robbed by bandits and became ill.

But a few days ago, Ruan's mansion received a letter from Ruan Yunlan, and Ruan's father's illness actually improved, so he asked people to bring a letter and let Ruan Yunlan go home as soon as possible.

"Yun Lan, can you be sure that this letter was written by your family?" Jiang Huan took Ruan Yunlan's family letter, feeling that things were not so simple, and asked puzzled.

"Brother Jiang, this letter is indeed written by my mother! But there is a drop of blood in the envelope, and my mother once said that if there is blood stains on the envelope of the family letter, it means that the family is in a time of crisis, and no matter who receives the letter, they are not allowed to go home!" Ruan Yunlan nodded affirmatively, holding the envelope in his hand and said.

"The letter told you to go home, but it didn't let you go home... "Jiang Huan looked at the letter and envelope and paced around the room and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that this letter was written by your mother under duress!"

When Ruan Yunlan heard this, she immediately became discolored, crystal tears filled her eyes, and she grabbed Jiang Huan tightly and said, "It must be those bandits, it must be them!" Brother Jiang, I beg you, save my family, okay!"

Seeing that Ruan Yunlan was so sad, Jiang Huan stretched out his hand to wipe Ruan Yunlan's tears, and said softly: "Don't be sad, Yunlan, let's set off today and go together to save your family! Even if you fight for my Jiang Huan's life, you must save your family!"

Ruan Yunlan nodded in sobbing, pulling Jiang Huan unwilling to let go.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Huan and Ruan Yunlan packed their luggage and set off together to Ruan Yunlan's hometown of Shimen Town.

When Jiang Huan and the others left the Acropolis, a tea stall owner by the city gate said to the man next to him: "The flying pigeon is going home to pass the book and prepare to collect the net!"

......

After a day and a night of hurrying, Jiang Huan and Ruan Yunlan finally arrived outside Shimen Town.

"Brother Jiang, it's coming soon, you have to be careful!" Ruan Yunlan said worriedly.

Jiang Huan nodded lightly, and pulled Ruan Yunlan into Shimen Town together, until he came to the gate of Ruan's mansion.

"Miss is back, Miss is back!"

The family outside the gate of Ruan's mansion, after seeing Ruan Yunlan, ran to the mansion excitedly.

"This ...... What's going on?" Jiang Huan stopped talking, looking at Ruan Yunlan with a strange expression.

"Brother Jiang... I... I don't know..."Ruan Yunlan hurriedly shook her head.

After a while, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman walked out of the house, and the middle-aged man saw Jiang Huan from a distance, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Jiang Shaoxia is here, Ruan has lost his welcome!

"Daddy, it's all right!" Ruan Yunlan said angrily.

Jiang Huan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, kid Jiang Huan has seen his uncle and aunt!"

After the Ruan Mansion welcomed Jiang Huan into the mansion, everyone appreciated and thanked Jiang Huan for his righteous deeds, and the two talked happily during the meal, and Jiang Huan was also drunk and unconscious.

......

In the middle of the night, on Wuyun Mountain...

"Hmm..." Jiang Huan snorted lightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked around with loose eyes.

Jiang Huan gradually saw his surroundings clearly, and suddenly his face changed greatly, because he found that he was in a cave, and he was actually trapped in an iron cage, surrounded by some people with swords in their hands.

"Who are you? What kind of place is this? What about the people from Ruan's Mansion?" Jiang Huan slowly got up and asked loudly to the people around him.

Jiang Huan's voice echoed in the cave, and the people around him did not respond to him, and at this time, there was a burst of laughter from outside the cave.

"Oops, it turns out that Jiang Shaoxia woke up! hahaha..."

"What a familiar voice..."Jiang Huan frowned when he heard this, and whispered to himself.

"Hahaha, Jiang Shaoxia!" The footsteps outside the cave became louder and louder, and the last middle-aged man in a gray robe walked in.

After Jiang Huan saw the visitor, he felt incredulous, rubbed his eyes again, looked at the middle-aged man with a dull gaze, and said stupidly: "This... How could it be... You... Aren't you Yun Lan's father? Even Yun Lan ...... her."

"Bang Bang Bang"

"That's right, that's right, you're right! I am indeed Yun Lan's father, but my name is not Ruan Qing, but Ruan Zhengxiong!" the middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed, looking at Jiang Huan's eyes with a hint of murderous intent.

"Nguyen Chinh Hung... Ruan Zhengxiong! It turned out to be you!" Jiang Huan whispered the three words "Ruan Zhengxiong," lowered his head and pondered, when his eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Ruan Zhengxiong deadly.

"Hahaha, you really know me! After your father Jiang Ao also comes, I will let you father and son go on the road together!" Ruan Zhengxiong couldn't stop laughing, and when he mentioned Jiang Ao, the killing intent on his body was even stronger.

"Hmph, you want to kill my father with your fourfold cultivation, it's really wishful thinking!" Jiang Huan looked at the proud Ruan Zhengxiong and sneered.

"Quack, Jiang Shaoxia! Don't forget that you are in my hands now, and when the time comes, I will use you as a threat to let your father commit suicide in front of me! What do you say he will do? Hahaha..."

Ruan Zhengxiong's eyes were cold, his shoulders shook with laughter, his hands raised, and he shouted at the sky.

"Jiang Ao, I, Ruan Zhengxiong, want you to pay for your blood debt!"

It turned out that decades ago, Ruan Zhengxiong and his eldest brother Ruan Zhengying robbed their homes and did all kinds of evil.

When the two robbed and killed a businessman, they were met by Jiang Ao, who traveled the rivers and lakes, Jiang Ao killed Ruan Zhengying with one enemy and two, and Ruan Zhengxiong was also seriously injured and fled.

For decades, although Ruan Zhengxiong has always wanted to take revenge, because Jiang Ao's cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, this makes Ruan Zhengxiong extremely helpless.

Ruan Zhengxiong felt that revenge was hopeless, but a few years ago, he suddenly heard that Jiang Ao's son Jiang Huan began to travel the rivers and lakes, and Ruan Zhengxiong's revenge that was about to be extinguished burned again.

Since half a year ago, Ruan Zhengxiong began to plan everything, from the robbery of Ruan Yunlan to the capture of Jiang Huan, all of which were in Ruan Zhengxiong's plan.

Ruan Zhengxiong was worried that leading people to rob and kill Jiang Huan would suddenly change, so he tried his best to arrange the robbery of Ruan Yunlan, and when Ruan Yunlan won Jiang Huan's trust, Jiang Huan walked into Ruan Zhengxiong's trap unguarded.

"Hahaha, so that's the case! It's ridiculous that I'm so stupid! I actually fell into your hands! But I don't regret it, even if I do it again, I will still choose to save Yun Lan, because this is the truest choice in my heart!"

After Jiang Huan listened to what Ruan Zhengxiong said, although he was sad in his heart, he did not regret it, he was saddened by Ruan Yunlan's deception, but he did not hate her, because during this time, he had fallen in love with Ruan Yunlan unconsciously.

Outside the cave, Ruan Yunlan heard what Jiang Huan said, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and her heart felt even more painful like a knife.

"In this case, even if I, Jiang Huan, die, I will not let my father be coerced by you!"

Jiang Huan got up slowly, tears flowed down his face, looked at Ruan Zhengxiong calmly, and suddenly shouted.

"Ahh

"What! dodge!" Ruan Zhengxiong was shocked when he saw this, dodged his hind legs, and shouted.

I saw Jiang Huan's eyes bloodshot, and the resentment rushed straight to Xiao Han, and the true qi of his whole body was restless, stirring the aura around him.

"Ahh

Jiang Huan shouted again, and the robe was swung with true qi.

Bang bang bang...

There was a loud rumbling sound in the cave, the iron cage became dilapidated, and Jiang Huan stood in place in tattered clothes, but his temperament had undergone a strange change, it was a qualitative change.

"The pulse is heavy...... Let me kill as much as I want today!" Jiang Huan raised his slightly clasped hands and said calmly.

Suddenly, Jiang Huan's head was raised, his eyes revealed infinite killing intent, and at the same time, he slowly lowered his hands, and his right hand was shocked, and he took an undestroyed sword on the ground into his hand, and walked out of the cave calmly.

"Hmm, this kid actually broke through! There is still such a strong killing intent, but if you want to kill me with a single stroke of the pulse, it would be too naïve!" Ruan Zhengxiong outside the cave felt Jiang Huan's killing intent, and said with a fierce expression.

"Dad, didn't you say that you only killed Jiang Ao? Would you let Jiang Huan go?" Ruan Yunlan begged bitterly when she saw that Ruan Zhengxiong had killed Jiang Huan.

"Shut up! Have you forgotten your uncle's vengeance? Since I can't kill Jiang Ao, then I'll kill his son first to pay tribute to my eldest brother! If you succeed in cultivation in the future, you will also take back Jiang Ao's head and pay tribute to your uncle! Got it?" Ruan Zhengxiong drank sharply and said angrily.

At this time, Jiang Huan also walked out, staring at Ruan Zhengxiong and Ruan Yunlan with scarlet eyes.

"Brother Jiang, Dad, don't..."Ruan Yunlan looked at the two of them with murderous intent, and cried weakly.

Nguyen Zhengxiong struck at the back of Nguyen's neck, knocking him unconscious and sending his men into the distance.

"Nguyen Chinh Hung, take your life!

Jiang Huan shouted, all his true qi was released, and he dodged forward, holding a three-foot long sword in his hand and killing Ruan Zhengxiong.

"I can't help myself!"

Ruan Zhengxiong saw Jiang Huan coming, stretched out his right hand, took the purple gold knife in the distance, and with a wave of his hand, a knife light slashed towards Jiang Huan.

Because Jiang Huan had just broken through to the first level of the vein, he could not perfectly control his strength, and when Ruan Zhengxiong's sword light slashed, Jiang Huan couldn't dodge, so he had to resist with a horizontal sword in front of his chest.

"Uh-huh... Poof..."

Under the collision between the two, Jiang Huan was also injured by Gang Qi, and a muffled snort came out, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Huan was seriously injured by a random blow, half-kneeling on the ground, and his right hand was struggling with his sword to prevent himself from falling.

"Haha, that's it, coward!" Ruan Zhengxiong looked at Jiang Huan's embarrassed appearance and sneered.

Ruan Zhengxiong's mocking laughter continued to reach Jiang Huan's ears, making Jiang Huan's heart even more angry, and his right hand held the hilt of the sword tightly.

Nguyen Thanh Hung did not immediately kill him, but kept insulting him.

At this time, a soft drizzle slowly fell in the sky.

Gradually, in Ruan Zhengxiong's sneering, Jiang Huan's heart gradually calmed down, the killing intent gradually converged, and the bloodshot in his eyes slowly dissipated.

"Jianghu...... What are rivers and lakes? There are people who have rivers and lakes!"

"Knight?...... What is a chivalrous man? Do whatever you want, unrestrained, hold the sword and protect what you love in your heart, what you want in your heart, this is a chivalrous man!"

"Hahaha... I get it... I finally got it......"

The rain slid down Jiang Huan's face, and the messy hair before was also scattered, Jiang Huan slowly got up, slowly raised his head, and looked at Ruan Zhengxiong calmly, his eyes were clear and transparent.

"Hmm, why is the killing intent gone, are you scared?" Hahaha..."Ruan Zhengxiong looked at Jiang Huan, who was crumbling in the rain, and laughed loudly.

In the face of such ridicule, Jiang Huan did not respond, but gently raised his sword, pointed it directly at Ruan Zhengxiong, and said softly.

"The first style of chivalry

Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming!"

Jiang Huan's voice was very calm, calm and frightening, and the calm voice echoed in the void.

I saw that Jiang Huan seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, a sword was swung out from afar, and a silver-white sword light slashed towards Ruan Zhengxiong.

Ruan Zhengxiong saw the sword light coming, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and a chill flowed into the bone marrow.

"Purple Qi is coming from the east!"

Ruan Zhengxiong shouted, and all the fourfold cultivation of his body was released, and all the true qi gathered in the purple gold knife, and he suddenly swung it away.

Boom...

In an instant, the silver-white sword light swept by, the purple sword light all dissipated, and the silver-white light continued to flash.

"Uh...... Whew..."

Ruan Zhengxiong's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he fell straight down.

When the others saw that Ruan Zhengxiong was dead, they all scattered, leaving only Ruan Yunlan alone.

"Dad!" When Ruan Yunlan woke up, he just saw the silver-white light, which swept past Ruan Zhengxiong's chest and shouted sadly.

Jiang Huan heard Ruan Yunlan's voice, and came to Ruan Yunlan in a flash, and said calmly: "Yunlan, my father killed your uncle! I killed your father! Do it, I hope that after you kill me, these grievances can all be dissipated!"

"No...... I don't want to..."Ruan Yunlan shook her head strongly, crying and refusing.

"Ugh..."

Jiang Huan sighed lightly and looked at Ruan Yunlan with complicated eyes.

"Brother Jiang... I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to be sorry for my dad...... If it's fate, I hope I can meet you again in the next life!" Ruan Yunlan lowered her head and said in a sad voice, while the cold light flashed in her hand, and she stabbed a dagger straight into her chest.

"Yun Lan, don't!"

......

"Don't... Don't..."Jiang Huan in the trial tower woke up in horror and shouted.

"Tut-tut, it's been three whole days, and this kid has finally woken up!" said the old man surnamed Li in the nameless place of the trial tower.
