Chapter 21: A Long Overdue Showdown
The voice was cold and low, although it was not loud, but it was enough for Xu Chen to hear it clearly.
When Xu Chen heard the sound, he stood up suddenly, looked up, and the figure slowly approached Xu Chen in the hazy moonlight, until the figure came to a distance of two or three zhang from Xu Chen, Xu Chen finally saw his face clearly, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Xu Yang.
Xu Yang came to Xu Chen's face with a long sword in hand, his figure was calm, and his expression of disdain was as good as ever.
Looking at the other party's slightly meaningful eyes, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he was not afraid of Xu Yang's cultivation, after all, the cultivation of the two was already comparable at this time, coupled with the weird "Splitting Void Sword Duel", Xu Chen was still confident to defeat the opponent.
What Xu Chen was worried about was that it was so late, why did Xu Yang appear here, could it be that he also knew Lao Wu's secret? Thinking of this, although he was already in turmoil, Xu Chen still didn't rush to do it.
Instead, he said coldly, "Yes, I'm back, how's it going?"
"Hmph, you're here to find something, right?" Xu Yang gently waved the long sword in his hand, his expression was still calm, but his left arm was slightly stiff, hanging unnaturally all the time, and he didn't move. It's like there's something hidden in this sleeve.
Xu Chen couldn't tell what the other party knew at this time, holding the short sword in his hand, trying to control his expression, not letting the other party see anything unusual, and said easily: "I'm afraid it's none of your business, right?"
"It's none of my business?"
Xu Yang laughed inexplicably, "This is Xu's house! This is my house! It's none of my business that you came to my house to steal things?"
Speaking of this, Xu Yang paused, and continued with an unstoppable look: "Xu Chen! don't pretend, just steal something! Haha! But you haven't found it yet, right?" As he spoke, he raised his stiff left arm.
"Huh?"
Xu Chen's face was like ashes, he was sure at this time, Xu Yang must have known a lot of things, maybe the item left by Lao Wu was now hidden in the cuff on his left.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen's short sword had slowly reached his chest, and with it, Xu Yang on the opposite side suddenly felt a breeze.
Although this breeze was extremely weak, it made Xu Yang's face suddenly stagnant, of course he had this breeze coming from.
When a practitioner reaches the Convergence Spiritual Realm, he can gather spiritual energy from the outside world, and this breeze just now is the manifestation of the cultivator's gathering spiritual energy from the outside world.
"You've really broken the mirror, I really didn't expect it!"
Although Xu Yang was surprised in his heart, his tone was still very natural, "Don't you want to see what is hidden in my cuffs?" As he spoke, he shook the cuffs of his left arm again.
"Could it be that you have already taken the things under the slate, what do you know?" Xu Chen could not hide the excitement and anger in his heart.
"Oh! just look at it. ”
Xu Yang's voice was even more peaceful, and it was a little unbelievable peaceful. He raised his left arm slightly, the cuff shaking gently in the breeze, and the contents of the cuff disappeared from time to time.
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the cuff intently, and the vigilance in his heart slowly let go.
However, at this moment, the cuff suddenly sudden, and with a strange smile flashing on Xu Yang's face, three cold rays flashed out of the cuff, which looked extremely dazzling against the background of the moonlight.
Xu Chen secretly said that it was not good, but he couldn't dodge it anymore, he subconsciously used his short sword to move forward, but he didn't block it with a cold light.
He only felt a slight pain in his lower abdomen, and then he stiffened in place. He looked angrily ahead, at the smug and somewhat distorted face.
"Haha!"
Xu Yang suddenly let out a wild laugh, as if he had obtained some treasure, and then he flicked his left arm lightly, and a bamboo tube fell to the ground with a click.
"Xu Chen, are you stupid? Haha, even if I get something, will I give it to you?" Xu Yang sarcastically shook his head proudly.
"You ......"
Xu Chen stiffened and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Yang waving his hand.
Xu Yang deliberately stretched his waist to show off his ease, "I can't move, right? I can't get lucky, right? Haha, I am sorry that I prepared these three silver needles to seal your meridians, otherwise I really don't know if it will be your opponent." ”
"You especially want to know how I knew you were coming back, right? Don't worry, you're going to die soon, I'll naturally tell you, I'm not an unkind person, hehe!" Xu Yang had a strange smile on his face.
"How do you know?" Xu Chen remained motionless.
Xu Yang looked at Xu Chen with "pity", and nodded helplessly, "Okay! I'll let you die to understand, because someone else came to the square this afternoon and went to open the stone slab like you." As he spoke, Xu Yang pointed to the stone slab that had been lifted, "Yes! That's it." ”
I stole a look, but he couldn't find anything. ”
"Who is it?" Xu Chen struggled to control his emotions.
"Who is it?" Xu Yang didn't bother to look at and said, "Who else can be so smart, of course it's my father!"
"Father?"
Xu Chen was shocked in his heart, "Are you sure that my father didn't find anything?"
"Of course!"
Xu Yang replied undeniably, "You are a dying person, is it necessary for me to lie to you?"
Looking at the other party's disdainful expression, Xu Chen nodded, "That's all?"
"Of course, that's all! What more do you want to know?"
As he spoke, Xu Yang came to Xu Chen with a long sword, and as soon as he raised his wrist, the tip of the sword was against Xu Chen's chest, "How about it, do you want to serve? With your IQ, you still have to compete with me for the position of the head of the family." Hmph, let's say okay, whoever loses, whoever loses will cut off his hands, I'm a principled person, then I'll cut off your hands first, I'm killing you, how about it?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Yang left Xu Chen's chest with the long sword in his hand and slashed directly at Xu Chen's right hand holding the sword.
The cold light is dazzling, and the killing intent is chilling.
At that moment, his expression was a little distorted with fear, but it was not Xu Chen who had such a face, but Xu Yang's.
It turned out that at the moment when Xu Yang's long sword left Xu Chen's chest, the short sword in Xu Chen's hand ghostly rose, and the speed was comparable to the silver needle that had just been shot.
"Ahh
"Dangchang!"
With Xu Yang's terrible scream, the long sword in his hand also fell to the ground, and there was a right hand on the hilt, and blood gushed out from his wrist, staining the marble floor red.
Xu Yang hurriedly grabbed the forearm of his right hand with his left hand and took a few steps back, the severe pain made him unable to speak, but at this time, the fear and doubt in his heart had already outweighed the pain in his wrist.
That bamboo tube was made for him by Elder Huang himself, and it was used for him when he encountered an accident.
Elder Huang had said that these three silver needles were extremely fast, and as long as they were nailed to one of the large meridians around the cultivator's dantian, they could control each other.
Of course, this will only be effective for cultivators who have not yet reached the Yuanhua Realm, because a master who has reached the Yuanhua Realm is enough to dodge or block attacks at this speed. Even if he can succeed, because the master of the Yuanhua Realm has already produced his true yuan, as long as he doesn't seal all the meridians around his dantian, then he can run the aura through the remaining meridians, and the silver needle will definitely come out in a moment.
However, it was obvious that Xu Chen had not reached the Yuanhua Realm at all, so why could he still run his aura freely after being hit by the silver needle?
Such a question not only made Xu Yang puzzled, but also made him feel frightened.
Now, the situation has been reversed, and now it is Xu Chen who is calm, he gently took out the three silver needles from his body and threw them on the ground.
Xu Yang's confusion, of course, Xu Chen himself is clear.
It turned out that Xu Chen's stiffness just now was all faked, and he just wanted to know what the other party knew. Don't forget, he is a hermit, and his meridians have already been actively broken, so how can Xu Yang's three silver needles seal his meridians.
Poor Xu Yang is really smart, the so-called stealing chickens does not make rice, probably this is what it means.
Xu Chen walked towards Xu Yang step by step with a short sword, his expression was indifferent, in his heart, Xu Yang was naturally unforgivable, the only thing he wanted to do now was, of course, to kill Xu Yang with a sword.
Xu Yang was stunned, he knew that he couldn't escape, he also knew what Xu Chen would do to him, his face was full of horror, he had long forgotten how domineering he was just now.
"The bet continues, doesn't it?"
Xu Chen came to Xu Yang and said easily.
"No! No!"
Xu Yang kept shaking his head, "Brother, you leave me a hand, please!"
"Brother?"
Xu Chen smiled slightly, "If I remember correctly, you only called it like this when I first came home, right?" It was a month ago, and you called it this way at that time for ......"
As he spoke, Xu Chen raised his left hand and looked at it.
"No, my mother made me do that that day, I didn't want to ......."
Xu Yang gasped, perhaps because of fear, his voice became trembling, "My mother said that only by driving you out of the Xu family can I take the position of the head of the family in the future." However, I don't want it now, brother, you can spare me! From now on, the Xu family will be yours, and it will all be yours......"
Xu Yang's voice became smaller and smaller, because Xu Chen, who was opposite him, had already raised the short sword in his hand, and that kind of terrifying look was something he had never seen before.
"Humph!"
Xu Chen snorted coldly, "You are really affectionate and righteous! Now you have pushed your mother up, okay! You said that the second aunt asked you to do it last time, but what about this time? You said that you just wanted to kick me out of the Xu family last time, so what about this time?"
Xu Chen's voice became louder and louder, and the killing intent became stronger and stronger, he was not questioning at all, but counting everything Xu Yang had done to him. His hatred has reached the extreme, this is his own brother, why did he treat himself even more excessively than the Bai family.
If the last time the finger was severed could be easily written off because of his brother, then this time Xu Yang was about to kill himself.
Xu Chen's right hand holding the short sword was constantly trembling, and he couldn't say which moment would fall because of the rise in anger.
"Stop!"
A loud shout suddenly came from not far away.
As soon as the cheers fell, I saw a phantom drawing a beautiful arc from not far away, falling straight to the side of the two.
Xu Chen slowly turned his head and said softly, "Father?"
