Chapter 285: Difficult to choose
Everyone has a time when they are desperate, and sometimes it's a last resort because you have a reason why you have to go desperately.
If you don't fight, you won't get anything, but you'll lose a lot of things, including life, of course, and it's like an arrow on a string, you can't stop or retreat.
How to get what you want if you don't work hard? How to get the respect of others if you don't work hard? Desperate is also a kind of gamble, and only by fighting hard can you have a higher chance of winning.
This is a kind of determination and perseverance to gamble everything, Xiong Yu is doing this, Ma Ping and Zhang Zhi are also doing this, they all have a desperate reason, they all have a desperate determination.
No one wants to try to fail, so they've gambled everything at this moment, and they don't have any chance of winning in their hearts, but they still hold on to their weapons, because they all know one thing.
Victory and success are spelled out, so they have left everything behind.
Zhang Zhi's knife was fierce, each of his knives seemed to use the strength of his whole body, he slashed at Xiong Yu, Xiong Yu immediately raised his sword to block, and sparks sparked the moment the blade and the blade intersected.
Both of them took two steps back, and before Zhang Zhi's offensive was finished, Ma Ping rushed up with a shout, and he slashed at Xiong Yu's left rib with a knife, Xiong Yu used the tip of the sword to tap the back of the knife to repel Ma Ping's knife, and then Xiong Yu didn't look at it and said loudly: "Xia Yun, retreat to the back." ”
Xia Yun immediately stepped back, she knew that the master was most afraid of distraction at the very beginning of the battle, so she had to retreat to a safe position to not let Xiong Yu be distracted.
Xiong Yu's eyes were staring at Zhang Zhi, he stood his sword in front of him to make a defensive gesture, Zhang Zhi glanced at Ma Ping and said: "I can see that Xiong Yu has not much strength left, it seems that he has not had a good rest in the past few days, and now we will take him down in one go." ”
Ma Ping nodded and said: "Very good, we have cooperated in fighting countless times, as long as you and I join forces, there is no invincible opponent." ”
Zhang Zhi and Ma Ping's momentum was high, but Xiong Yu was a little worried at the moment, because he found that his sword could not emit sword qi, could it be that the sword qi on his sword had disappeared the moment he broke the prison door? Could it be that the sword qi at that time was just a coincidence?
Xiong Yu's heart was a little cold, but his eyes were still very firm, because he knew one thing, since he stepped into the rivers and lakes until now, he has not lived by sword qi, even if he has no sword qi, he can still draw his sword and kill, because his hard work on it is by no means imaginable by ordinary people.
Zhang Zhi and Ma Ping slowly approached Xiong Yu, they were very cautious and careful, because they knew that the person standing in front of them now was their strongest opponent so far.
Xiong Yu stood motionless, because he knew that as long as he showed a flaw at the moment, Zhang Zhi and Ma Ping would seize that flaw and force him to a dead end, so Xiong Yu could only respond to all changes with no change.
Zhang Zhi's forehead was sweaty, because he didn't expect Xiong Yu to be so calm, as long as Xiong Yu's head was hot and he shot first, then he and Ma Ping would have a chance to kill Xiong Yu, but unfortunately Xiong Yu was surprisingly calm at the moment, Xiong Yu did not show flaws, so he and Ma Ping couldn't shoot easily.
Stalemate, this is the most mentally draining stalemate, everyone's spirit is highly concentrated, everyone's nerves are like a tense string, if you don't touch it, it's just a touch.
Only Xia Yun's nervous breathing could be heard in the dungeon, and there was no sound outside of this time, Xiong Yu, Ma Ping and Zhang Zhi had all held their breath, and everyone could clearly hear their heartbeats.
This is a kind of torment, a kind of torment from their own self-pressure, at this moment everyone's opponent is no longer standing on the opposite side, now everyone's opponent is themselves, only by defeating themselves can they defeat their opponents, who can not defeat themselves then who will fail.
Ma Ping suddenly took a long breath, Zhang Zhi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, Ma Ping couldn't bear it anymore, he was already at his limit, he was fed up with the silent torment of these words.
Ma Ping knew that he was already at a disadvantage at this time, so he made the first move, he wanted to seize the opportunity, only then could he have a chance to recover the defeat.
Ma Ping's idea was right, but the opponent he met was wrong, because Xiong Yu would never give him such a chance.
Xiong Yu has already taken out the sword, this sword Xiong Yu is no stranger, this is a sword that Xiong Yu has practiced hard for three years, this sword he has used countless times, even if there is no sword energy? He can still play this sword to the fullest, this sword is as fast as lightning.
Ma Ping didn't have time to make a move, because Xiong Yu's sword had already pierced his throat first, Ma Ping's eyes looked into the distance the moment he fell, his eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.
Ma Ping's body fell heavily to the ground, Xiong Yu's sword was still in the air, Xiong Yu stared at Zhang Zhi, Zhang Zhi's knife was still in his hand, but at this moment his hand holding the knife was no longer so steady.
Zhang Zhi suddenly let out a long sigh, his hand holding the knife slowly put down, he had given up, he already knew that he had completely lost this time, and this defeat made him lose all the opportunities to turn over.
Xiong Yu slowly put away the sword in his hand, Zhang Zhi looked at Xiong Yu and said, "You won't kill me?"
Xiong Yu turned his head to the side and sighed, "There are enough dead people. ”
At this moment, Xiong Yu suddenly felt a kind of tiredness, at this moment he suddenly felt very tired, he didn't want to do anything, he didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to find a place to sleep well.
Zhang Zhi looked at Xiong Yu with a strange look and said, "If you don't kill me now, I will kill you in the future." ”
Xiong Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I know." ”
Zhang Zhi suddenly said loudly: "Even so, you won't kill me?"
Xiong Yu Zhengse said: "I said that there are enough dead people. ”
Saying that, Xiong Yu took Xia Yun's hand and walked out slowly, he walked very slowly, Zhang Zhi stood behind Xiong Yu, he stared at Xiong Yu, his hand slowly clenched the hilt.
Xia Yun's body was already scared into a cold sweat, she knew that what Xiong Yu did was a big taboo in the rivers and lakes, that is, he left his back to his opponent, if Zhang Zhi made a sneak attack at this moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xia Yun turned his head to look at Xiong Yu, Xiong Yu's face was very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried that Zhang Zhi would make a sneak attack.
Xia Yun's palms were already oozing cold sweat, because she had heard Zhang Zhi's rapid breathing, Zhang Zhi suddenly screamed, Xia Yun was startled, and her fingers unconsciously grabbed Xiong Yu's palm.
Xiong Yu didn't look back, he walked straight forward, there was the sound of a big knife falling to the ground behind him, Xia Yun breathed a sigh of relief, Xiong Yu smiled faintly and strode out of the dungeon.
There was still night darkness in the sky, but none of this mattered, because Xiong Yu had already seen the dawn of dawn, and he strode towards the rising sun, with a smile on his face, because he knew that he was not alone along the way, and he knew that Xia Yun would accompany him by his side.
The melancholy and uneasiness on Xia Yun's face were swept away, and she had a smile on her face like the rising sun, she looked at Xiong Yu and said, "Where are you going now?"
Xiong Yu said in a deep voice: "The capital." ”
Xia Yun continued: "What are you going to do in the capital?"
Xiong Yu said: "Kill." ”
Xia Yun's face changed slightly, and she said cautiously, "Who are you going to kill?"
Xiong Yu sighed and said, "Fan Xiuwen." ”
Xia Yun gasped, just because she had heard his father Xia Zhongtang say that Fan Xiuwen was a businessman, but he was not an ordinary businessman, Fan Xiuwen did both black and white business, Xia Yun heard that several officials of the imperial court had close contacts with Fan Xiuwen.
Xiong Yu had already seen what Xia Yun wanted to say, and he preemptively said, "I have to go." ”
Xia Yun wanted to ask something, but she didn't say it, because she knew that even if she asked Xiong Yu, she would still go to the capital to kill Fan Xiuwen, Xia Yun suddenly said, "Where is your master Xiaoyaozi?"
Xiong Yu's face was a little ugly, as soon as he mentioned the three words Xiaoyaozi, he thought of Xiaoyaozi's poisoned and blackened body, Xiong Yu paused and said: "My master blocked Tang Qi's secret weapon for me, and now he is on the verge of death." ”
Xia Yun was shocked and said, "What's going on?"
Xiong Yu told Xia Yun the complete story of what happened after Xia Yun left that day, and after finishing speaking, Xiong Yu's eyes were already a little moist.
Xia Yun lowered her head and fell silent, Xiong Yu looked at Xia Yun and didn't say anything after all.
The two kept walking forward, and finally Xia Yun broke the silence, Xia Yun suddenly looked up at Xiong Yu and said, "Actually, what I want to say has already been said." ”
Xiong Yu was listening, and Xia Yun continued: "I really don't want to live this kind of frightened life anymore, I really want to find a quiet place with you to live like this." ”
Xiong Yu was stunned for a moment, his hand slowly clenched, his heart was struggling, his expression suddenly became very painful, this was the second time Xia Yun said such things to him, if he refused, would Xia Yun leave in anger?
Xiong Yu was silent, he knew how much courage it takes for a woman to say such things twice, if a woman is willing to say these words to you, then she must love you deeply, a beautiful and intelligent woman is willing to live a mediocre life with you, then this woman must have sacrificed a lot of things.
Xiong Yu slowly closed his eyes, he was originally a Lang son, he had no fixed place, he lived for hatred, he made efforts that ordinary people would not dare to think of for hatred, he stepped into the rivers and lakes for hatred, he lost a lot of things that he should have at this age for hatred.
The family has always been two words that Xiong Yu didn't dare to imagine, and he didn't dare to think that it was not that he didn't want it, but that he felt that those two words were simply out of reach, he had nothing, and the only thing that accompanied him until now was Xiaoyaozi and the Lancang Sword in his hand, and now he has the opportunity to form a family with the woman he likes, but he can't do that.
Xiong Yu stopped and turned to look at Xia Yun, maybe he should have been a ruthless person, because he couldn't let go of Xiaoyaozi, because he couldn't let go of the hatred he was carrying, there was no reason, no excuse, this was already an obsession.
Xiong Yu's lips moved, but he didn't say a word, because Xia Yun's lips had sealed his lips tightly.
