Chapter 72 The Battle of Life and Death(1/2)
It will be dawn.
The cliff east of Lijiazhai was now full of corpses. The hot blood had completely melted the snow. The blood and snow water kept flowing down from the cliff, soaking into the snow below the mountain, and then frozen.
An old man was walking in a pool of blood. Xie Xue had dyed his shoes and trousers red. He looked at the corpses all over the ground and felt unprecedentedly heavy.
He lived all his life and was powerful all his life. He had never seen any scenery, but he had never seen such scenery before, and he never wanted to see him again in this life. Although such scenery is hard to see, the price he paid was too high.
He slowly closed his eyes and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. He suddenly wanted to vomit. After a long time, he let out a long breath and spit out a word: "Get."
withdraw?
Everyone felt inexplicably confused. Their purpose was to destroy the Ye family. Now that the entire Xueyue City has been destroyed, the Ye family has suffered the least losses, and the mission assigned by the sect leader has not been completed. How can they be withdrawn?
Moreover, they have lost so many fellow disciples. They are finally about to catch up with the Ye family. Seeing that the Ye family has no power to fight back. Even if they don’t do the sect’s mission, they cannot withdraw even if they are for the great revenge of fellow disciples.
But this is what the Great Elder said. If the Sect Master is not here, the words of the Great Elder are the words of the Sect Master, how can they violate it?
But they just retreated like this, and they were really unwilling to give in and felt really frustrated.
An old man stepped forward, and before he could speak, the elder reached out to stop him, and then spoke extremely heavily: "This loss is too great. Even if the Ye family is really destroyed, Tianji Sect will breathe a sigh of relief, but what about next?"
Everyone didn't say anything, but began to lower their heads.
The Great Elder continued: "It will take at least ten years or even longer to recover as before in Tianji Sect. Now that the old sect leader and deputy sect leader have left, we can no longer destroy Tianji Sect in such a place. In such a thing, otherwise we will be scolded by the old sect leader if we die in the future. As the manager of Tianji Sect, we should leave some family background for the sect leader."
No one spoke anymore, everyone began to calm down, and even felt a little lucky, glad that they had lived to this day.
If they continue to chase the Ye family, they really don’t know if the next one will fall down will be themselves.
Although there are not many masters in the Ye family, most of them are just spiritualists, in such a large-scale battle, the tacit understanding of cooperation is far from comparable to those of the disciples of Tianji Sect. Moreover, these people will never fight with you one-on-one. The battle is entirely based on delays and consumption, and even trap arrows have been used. Although the combat power is not as good as the highly trained army of the empire, it is not much inferior.
As they calmed down, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, and they were Ye Qingshu and his son.
Ye Fangsheng's face was pale. He just charged in battle, but he was more effective than anyone else. In his eyes, the children of the Ye family did not look like the same clan, but more like enemies.
At this moment, when the elder of Tianji Sect was watching, he felt that the pores all over his body were standing up, and cold sweat began to emerge without control. The pressure of a powerful Ling Sect master was indeed not something that ordinary people could bear.
Then he hurried forward and said, "Great Elder, this matter really has nothing to do with us. Although we know that Ye Fangtu is difficult to deal with, we didn't expect that he was so insidious and would set up many obstacles along the way."
The elder hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and said coldly: "You guys go."
Ye Qingshu frowned, "This..."
He only said one word, but did not dare to say it any further.
The Great Elder said coldly: "Our transaction is that you help us destroy the Ye family, and then we let you enter the Tianji Sect, but the Ye family has not been destroyed now, so the agreement naturally cannot be counted. And..."
His tone suddenly became colder, "You guys can even betray your family. If you really bring you to Tianji Sect, who knows who will betray Tianji Sect one day."
Ye Qingshu clenched his fists, but his strength calmed down his anger and tried his best to be polite tone, "Thank you, the elder."
After saying that, he pulled his father and walked down the mountain. The father and son helped each other walk in the wind and snow, looking a little lonely and pitiful. From now on, they have really been homeless, and they have no relatives or friends.
But the poor people have something hateful after all, so why are they all blamed and suffer the consequences?
In a valley thirty miles south of Lijia Village, Ye Fangtu was waiting for the arrival of Tianji Sect. Some of the people behind him were still injured, some were even children, and some were over 70 years old, but these were the only men left in the Ye family.
If the Tianji Sect chases us, how long can these people hold on? They don’t know whether the bloodline of the Ye family behind can escape from Tiantian. They don’t know. The only thing they know is that as long as they have a breath, they must not let the strong men of the Tianji Sect pass here.
The wind and snow were too big, so big that their vision was blurred. The sound of running suddenly came from the front, and everyone couldn't help but hold their weapons. Then a strong man rushed away the heavy snow and appeared in front of everyone.
After the strong man appeared, he knelt directly in the snow and said in an excited tone: "Report to the patriarch, you have retreated, you have retreated."
Everyone was stunned, and Ye Fangtu said in a deep voice: "Get up and make it clear."
After the man got up, he wiped the snow water from his head and said, "The enemies have retreated."
Ye Fangtu let out a long sigh and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
The man nodded and said, "I guess he has returned to Xueyue City now."
Ye Fangtu asked again: "There is the gambling house..."
He pondered for a moment before continuing, “Are there any living ones?”
The man shook his head, "No one, all dead, and no step back."
Before everyone could be happy, they became silent again. After a long time, Ye Chun sighed: "It is worthy of being brought out by my third brother, and they are all good."
Ye Fangtu nodded and said, "I originally wanted to leave a few for Xiaoqiu, but I didn't want to...ah!"
He turned around and said aloud: "Any family in the casino can change their surname to Ye if they want. Their descendants are like the children of the Ye family, enjoying the protection and glory of the Ye family for generations."
Everyone nodded and replied: "Yes."
At this time, an old man asked, "Fangtu, do we still have to continue walking? Since the enemy has retreated, are we..."
Ye Fangtu said: "I know what Uncle Six means and also understands Uncle Six's mood, but we are the same as Uncle Six's mood. We are born here and grow up here. No one will be willing to leave like this, but none of us can guarantee whether the other party will come back, so the migration must continue to be carried forward in order to allow the blood of the Ye family to continue."
The old man nodded, "You are the head of the family, we all listen to you."
Ye Fangtu continued: "Actually, as long as people are still there, homes are everywhere. If the home is destroyed, we can rebuild it. If people are gone, nothing will be gone."
Everyone continued to migrate south, no one knew where they went, and where they went, but people knew that no matter how long they walked or how far they went, as long as they saved their lives, they would always find a place where they could settle down.
...
Today, a new student came to Oriental College. Of course, this is not a rare thing in Oriental College, because new students enter every day. What makes people curious is that as soon as this student enters Oriental College, it is like Ye Qiu sending out a challenge book.
And it is a battle of life and death.
This person is named Lin Yaoguang. No one knows where he comes from, and no one knows why he did this.
So this matter not only seems mysterious, but also full of curiosity. Everyone wants to know what unknown secrets are there.
And not only that, in the face of this inexplicable challenge, Ye Qiu actually agreed.
On the high platform in the martial arts field, there was a table at this moment, with only one white character, a brush, and a piece of cinnabar on the table. Su Jin and Liu Sheng were both standing on the high platform, full of solemnity.
Below the platform, two people stood, Ye Qiu and Lin Yaoguang.
Ye Qiu had never seen Lin Yaoguang, but knew that he came from Tianji Sect. Lin Yaoguang had never seen Ye Qiu, but knew that the young man in front of him was his father-killing enemy.
The entire martial arts performance venue was crowded with people, more than when Ye Qiu and Qiu Xiaoyun competed last time.
After all, although Oriental Academy does not refuse such a life-and-death battle, it rarely happens, because no matter what grudges these students have in private, most of them will resolve them in the mountains like Gu Yueming. Moreover, they are unaware of the gods, and the academy has no evidence and will not say anything, and it is completely different in the martial arts venue.
Here, there is true fairness and justice, speaking entirely by strength, without any conspiracy, and no ambush or traps, so unless they are two people of similar strength, no one will be willing to decide life and death here.
Su Jin took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yaoguang, the fifth level of the spirit master, the golden silkworm of spirit, the attribute of gold, the weapon ice silk. Ye Qiu, the second level of the spirit master, the spirit beast fish, the attribute of ice, the wind, the weapon gold spear."
He first introduced the two people completely, then looked at Lin Yaoguang and asked: "Lin Yaoguang, have you decided to write a letter to Ye Qiu, regardless of life or death?"
Lin Yaoguang nodded and said, "Yes!"
Su Jin looked at Ye Qiu again and asked, "Ye Qiu, are you willing to accept Lin Yaoguang's challenge, regardless of life or death?"
Ye Qiu said: "Yes!"
Liu Sheng said: "You can refuse, too."
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "No need."
Su Jin said: "Okay, then you come up and sign a life and death case. Whether it is life and death, it is your own choice. It has nothing to do with the academy. No one else can interfere or avenge the dead."
The two walked up to the high platform at the same time. Lin Yaoguang first picked up the pen, but he didn't even look at it. He wrote down his name directly, and then pressed his handprint. Ye Qiu picked up the pen without any hesitation. He also wrote down his name and pressed the handprint.
Su Jin put away his life and death situation, Liu Sheng carried the table, and the two walked off the platform.
Ye Dong stood in the crowd, holding tightly at the corner of her clothes. She had never been as nervous as she was now.
There were only two people left on the platform, and no one wanted to start first.
A long time later, Lin Yaoguang asked first: "Do you know who I am?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Lin Yaoguang frowned and said, "Then why do you agree?"
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "November ago, a little girl told me that you should be polite in life. Since you have issued a challenge letter, out of politeness, I should not refuse."
Lin Yaoguang said: "I came from Tianji Sect. I came today to kill you to avenge my father."
Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Oh."
Lin Yaoguang continued: "So even if your level is lower than mine, I will not show mercy."
Ye Qiu said: "I know, let's take action."
Lin Yaoguang was stunned, then pinched his hands and a light flashed behind him. A golden silkworm appeared, but the size of this golden silkworm was too large, much larger than a person's thigh.
After the golden silkworm appeared, it spit out two pieces of silk directly, and then was held in Lin Yaoguang's hand.
Lin Yaoguang bounced his fingers and two silks shot directly towards Ye Qiu. The silk was very thin and could hardly be seen by the naked eye. However, Ye Qiu had already taken off the spear behind him and moved forward a little. At the same time, a small red fish appeared behind him, and his wings were gently stoked.
"bite!"
He handed out the spear and immediately made a sound of a slight iron hitting, and a string of sparks appeared on the spear. Then Ye Qiu's body quickly turned to the side, and the clothes on his shoulders and cuffs were broken out of thin air, and blood marks appeared on his shoulders.
He went back to the area, and a string of Mars suddenly rubbed out from the spear, and even a trace of white air was emitted.
Lin Yaoguang moved his fingers and his body retreated, and shouted: "Take the silk and peel off the cocoon!"
The golden silkworm behind him suddenly raised his head, and countless silks soared into the sky, and then spread towards Ye Qiu. Because of the invisible silk, it emitted a trace of light in the air, which was extremely dazzling. These lights lingered and intertwined, like a large net covering Ye Qiu.
