Chapter 136 Draw the sword and go up(1/2)
Yue Shiting couldn't speak.
He suddenly cut off the hurricane with a sword, and in that breath, he swept away from the sword energy, and slashed down on Qi Xiaoran with his sword.
Seeing this, Qi Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coldly, "I don't have so much time to play with you, this sword will kill you!"
He flew out and directly faced Yue Shiting's sword. He had no unnecessary thoughts in his mind, just tapping the other party's neck.
Although Yue Shiting set out his sword first, Qi Xiaoran's sword came first.
The surging sword energy erupted.
An extremely dazzling white light burst out from the sword edge.
The figure appeared on the left side of Yue Shiting, and took a step forward, sweeping across the sword with a very tricky angle. Yue Shiting could only watch the sword sweeping. Even if he had a reaction in his heart, the sword in his hand would not have time to make any movement. With a light sound, blood burst out in large quantities, dyeing his sight with blood.
Qi Xiaoran looked at Yue Shiting's eyes with a plain expression, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Yue Shiting half opened his mouth and made a horrible sound. The sword in his hand also fell to the ground. He shook his body several times, and the blood stained the ground, solidified with the loess, and his eyes gradually lost their color.
It is often said that before a person dies, the past will appear in front of his eyes like a lantern, but Yue Shiting did not see those. What he thought in his heart and what he thought in his mind was the appearance of his wife and children.
He thought with some grief, if he died, how could their orphans and widows survive in this world?
Will that person really let them go?
Until his death, he was thinking about the safety of his wife and children. At this moment, he really regretted it. If he hadn't done that at that time and chose to lower his head, wouldn't the result be that way?
But he thought dejectedly, maybe even if that was the case, the ending would not change, it would just die sooner or later.
The only thing that is thankful is that the list is no longer in Yanzi Town. Perhaps one day, the list will be published in the public and that person will receive the punishment he deserves.
His consciousness was disconnected.
His body fell down heavily.
Blood soaked his body, and bright flowers bloomed.
Qi Xiaoran looked at Yue Shiting in silence, raised her eyes and looked at the two figures rushing in the distance.
Li Mengzhou's pace gradually slowed down. He looked at Yue Shiting lying on the ground, then looked up at Qi Xiaoran, and said with a complicated mood: "You killed him?"
He felt that he could find out the secret hidden by Yue Shiting tonight, but he did not expect that all he saw was Yue Shiting's body.
He doesn't know Qi Xiaoran.
Although he knew the name of the head of the Shuijingsi, he had never seen Qi Xiaoran before.
But he was at least sure that the person who killed Yue Shiting was definitely not a monk outside the mountain.
Then there is conclusive and suspicious evidence for the purpose of the three men in black who assassinated Yue Shiting in Yue Mansion, or their true identities.
......
The stars are bright at night.
As it was approaching the early morning, a light white appeared in the sky.
The wet mist gradually rises in the forest, and there seem to be wisps of white smoke scattering the starry sky in the middle of the night.
This picture is very clear and beautiful.
Facing Li Mengzhou's inquiry, Qi Xiaoran just smiled at him, stepped on Yue Shiting's body, pointed the tip of the sword at him, and said, "Cat face and rabbit face... two shameful guys, why, do you want to die?"
After Qi Xiaoran died once, she also thought about a lot of things.
Although he was once the head of the Water Mirror Department, he controlled most of the power and wealth, and had a heavy weight in the court, he actually did not have much power except in terms of money.
Now he has no power, but he is relatively free, so he should live a good life for himself.
Although he is still subject to others, he is far better than the court.
Li Mengzhou looked plain, and although he couldn't see any expression under the cat-faced mask, he said in a slow tone: "So you are in the same group as the three men in black who assassinated Yue Shiting?"
Without waiting for Qi Xiaoran to answer, he turned his head and looked at Gu Shiyan beside him and said, "It seems that your confusion is accurate. The purpose of the three men in black is not to lead Bei Zangfeng away from the North City Gate. They were going to kill Yue Shiting from beginning to end. Now I even suspect that the three men in black are not monks outside the mountain, but someone is taking advantage of the troubled waters of people outside the mountain."
Gu Shiyan said: "When the capital gathers a lot of power to encircle and suppress people from the mountain, some people want to do something here. They are very brave. I think the energy behind them is also extraordinary. I don't think any small character has the courage to do such things."
For some reason, Li Mengzhou subconsciously thought of Qin Chengyi.
If you talk about a person with great energy in the capital, except for His Majesty the Emperor himself, only Qin Chengyi has extremely high power.
After all, he is the prince, and even a powerful figure in the practice mountain gate, he will greet him on formal occasions.
He once suspected that Yue Shiting and Qin Chengyi had colluded because Song Yidao, a disciple of Lu Wang Mansion, went to find Yue Shiting. Now Yue Shiting was assassinated at his home and is now killed directly outside the city. He had to overthrow the original suspicion.
Although the secret hidden by Yue Shiting was not discovered, the fall of Yue Shiting seemed to have exposed something.
There is no reason why the monks outside the mountain want to kill Yue Shiting. The only person who has an entanglement with Yue Shiting is the disciple of the Lu Wang Mansion, the grandmaster of Shanye, Song Yidao.
Li Mengzhou had reason to suspect that the prince Qin Chengyi wanted to pretend to be a monk outside the mountain to assassinate Yue Shiting.
Ruo Yue Shiting and Qin Chengyi are not in the same group.
Then the list of Yanzi Town is really the person Yue Shiting found who was secretly doing something shameful for Qin Chengyi.
Combined with the name of the Censor General Dan Tai Jing on the list, all this makes sense.
Others don’t know that Dan Tai Jing was working for Qin Chengyi, which Li Mengzhou could confirm.
Moreover, when he got the list, Li Mengzhou secretly assassinated some people who were not in the capital or some small people who were not valued. Although he failed to get any useful information from them, he was indeed inseparable from Qin Chengyi.
But because he couldn't see through Yue Shiting, Li Mengzhou did not think deeper. In fact, he had always known that Qin Chengyi was the person behind the scenes, but he was not qualified to stand in front of Qin Chengyi, so he settled down and put his goals on those who could cope.
Qi Xiaoran listened to their conversation silently and said in a colder voice than Ye Feng at this moment: "Young people sometimes have a lot of ideas. I don't care whether the person who assassinated Yue Shiting is a monk outside the mountain, but I am not, and I have successfully killed him. If you want to draw the sword, I will accompany you. If you don't dare to draw the sword, then come and die obediently."
Hearing this, Li Mengzhou frowned deeply.
He didn't know if Qi Xiaoran's words meant that there was no silver here.
Qi Xiaoran did not deny that he wanted to kill Yue Shiting, but did not admit that he was accomplices with the three men in black who assassinated Yue Shiting. The so-called identity of a monk outside the mountain was also ambiguous. Although what Li Mengzhou identified was difficult to change easily, Qi Xiaoran's attitude was indeed a bit strange.
Gu Shiyan ignored Qi Xiaoran's words and drew her sword out of the sheath without any haste. Although she knew very well that Qi Xiaoran could kill Yue Shiting, she must be a great monk at the peak of the fourth realm, and might even be close to the threshold of the fifth realm, Gu Shiyan still had no fear at all.
She said in a cold voice: "I draw my sword now. If you have the ability, kill me."
Li Mengzhou was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot Gu Shiyan himself was very dark-bellied. She had a fairy-like face, but she often had amazing words. She was purely different from others, and her ability to argue with others was also deterrent.
Even Gu Shiyan is like this, and Li Mengzhou, as a sword cultivator, certainly cannot lose his majesty.
Can you beat Qi Xiaoran without considering it? The other party has already provoked in person, so how can there be no reason not to draw the sword?
Li Mengzhou was holding his own natal sword. He was originally ready to fight with Yue Shiting. Because Yue Shiting had seen Wuqing Sword on the five-story building, he deliberately changed the sword, but he didn't expect that when he drew the sword, he was facing another person.
The sword cultivator is never afraid of war.
Even if you face an invincible opponent, you must at least slash out a sword.
This is an attitude.
It belongs to the attitude of Jian Xiu to bend without being bent.
Although Li Mengzhou always followed the belief of cherishing his life, if he couldn't beat him, he would run away and would never go forward to commit suicide, this did not prevent him from slashing out this sword.
Gu Shiyan often goes out, ranging from half a month to one month long. Although she is called practicing, Li Mengzhou really didn't realize how much her cultivation has improved. Since she first arrived in the capital, she has never broken through her realm, but I think she should be at least close to the peak of the fourth realm.
Even if you can't beat Qi Xiaoran, you can still save your life.
At this moment, Qi Xiaoran stepped on Yue Shiting's cold body, swung his sword to slash Ye Feng, and said calmly: "What's the use of being so stubborn? In my opinion, what you should do is to escape. Although that will disappoint me, if you dare to draw the sword from me, you must be prepared to die. Have you ever had this kind of enlightenment?"
Li Mengzhou mocked, "You have so much nonsense."
Qi Xiaoran shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't like to say nonsense either, but I've been in the dark for several months and am really a little frustrated. I finally saw the light of day again. Even if I want to start a big killing, I always think about being able to say more. Although you don't have the qualifications to talk to me before, I am in a good mood. You should know how to cherish it, because soon, you can't speak."
After all, he was a person who died once.
Moreover, during the period of "death", he really didn't say anything, because he couldn't find someone to speak. If he hadn't had his state of mind stable enough, he would have been suffocated.
Li Mengzhou just smiled, held the sword in his hand tightly, and handed it out quickly.
Gu Shiyan also rushed forward, and the sword energy fell straight towards Qi Xiaoran.
Qi Xiaoran looked at the two coming swords in surprise. The two young men wearing cat-faced and rabbit-faced masks were a little stronger than he expected. He was thinking in his heart that in the capital, which young men were in line with the identities of these two people.
Although Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan both wore masks, their voices did not change much, and they could still be heard that they were very young. If they were not very familiar people, it would be difficult to tell who they were just from the sound.
Not to mention that Qi Xiaoran has been "dead" for several months, even before he was "living", he had never dealt with Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan, so how could he guess their identities?
But these are not important things. Qi Xiaoran just wanted to kill them.
Although his purpose of seeing Tian Ri again was to intercept Yue Shiting halfway, he was a little bit out of the way and was definitely extremely dissatisfied with the man who knew it, but after all, he had been the head of the Water Mirror Division for decades, and his habit of doing things had not been completely changed.
Fortunately, Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan didn't know who he was, otherwise, not to mention the current situation, they would basically know everything just by seeing his face.
Qi Xiaoran poured his breath into the long sword in his hand. At the moment he slashed out, the sound of a sword roar exploded, and a majestic aura surged out, directly sweeping away the sword that Gu Shiyan slashed, and the trend continued to blow on the sword energy handed over by Li Mengzhou.
The night wind whistled and tore the air.
The sword energy that Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan slashed out collapsed and dissipated in an instant.
The sword energy belonging to Qi Xiaoran is still rising wildly.
The sword exuded a majestic aura.
The vegetation in the mountains was raging by the night wind, making a rustling sound.
