"Alright, alright," Li Xue raised her hands in surrender and said helplessly, "You have a habit that you haven't changed from your previous life to this one. I was only able to tell based on this habit of yours."
"Habit? And it's a habit from my previous life? "Ling Tian was really confused this time." What habit is this? Why don't I know about it? "
"I remember that in your previous life, you always wore a thin ring on your right hand. Do you still remember?"
"Ring?" Ling Tian's expression became a little dazed. "How could I not remember? That was the only thing my mother left behind for me. "
"Yes," Speaking up to this point, Li Xue also sighed. "In your previous life, you treated this ring as your most precious treasure. It also treated it as your protective talisman. You seem to have only told me about this before. Every time you were about to carry out an important mission, you would subconsciously use the two fingers on your right hand to twirl this ring over and over again. You once said that it would allow your heart to become very calm, and it would also bless you to be successful in your endeavors! "
Li Xue's eyes shone with a gentle light. "After entering Bright Jade City this afternoon, although you didn't have that ring on your left hand, the two fingers on your right hand kept twirling around your left hand's middle finger unconsciously. Your actions, expressions, and even your gaze were exactly the same as in your previous life. So … I guessed it."
"I see!" While Ling Tian was enlightened, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness. In his previous life, that ordinary ring was the only thing his mother left behind. Every time he touched that ring, Ling Tian felt as if his mother's deep love was transmitted from the distant heavens, sending him endless strength and care. Every time he touched that ring, Ling Tian's heart would always be filled with peace and tranquility. So, every time his heart was in a mess, he would subconsciously touch it to calm himself down. This subconscious action was something that even he didn't notice.
"In my previous life, I didn't lose unjustly." Ling Tian laughed bitterly. Since the other party knew him better than him, wouldn't it be easy for the other party to set up a trap based on his personality? Ling Tian had always thought that he had fallen into a trap and had been framed. Only now did he realize that he would never have been able to escape from such a trap in his previous life.
"Brother Tian." Li Xue's eyes were filled with regret as she said, "I've been in the mountains for more than ten years. When I'm free, I'll intentionally look for metals that are similar in color to your ring and polish it time and time again … Look at this, do you like it?" Li Xue opened her palm and a black ring appeared in the middle of her palm.
"Thank you." When he saw the ring, the motherly love of two lifetimes seemed to overlap at this moment. Ling Tian's usually calm face flushed with excitement. Looking at the ring that was exactly the same as the one in his memory, Ling Tian's eyes fluctuated violently.
"Let me put it on for you. This is my most sincere apology and also my greatest blessing to you." Li Xue smiled considerately and gently put the ring on Ling Tian's left middle finger. She tilted her head and looked at it for a moment before nodding her head in satisfaction. She smiled and said, "Isn't it really very similar?!"
As she said that, Li Xue suddenly did something that made Ling Tian not know whether to laugh or cry. This lass dug out an identical ring from her bosom and put it on her right ring finger. With a sly smile, she hid her hand behind her back and shamelessly said, "Hehe, I've made a pair of rings like this. In this life, you have one and I have one!"
Seeing Ling Tian staring at her with widened eyes, Li Xue giggled and waved her two fingers in front of his eyes. "I only … made two." She purposely dragged out the word 'only' and emphasized it.
Ling Tian smiled warmly and stroked the ring with his right hand. His eyes were filled with nostalgia as he said softly, "Up to you."
"Really?" Li Xue asked excitedly.
Before Ling Tian could reply, he suddenly heard a loud 'boom' coming from outside the window.
"There are people fighting." Ling Tian's face darkened as he listened carefully. "And it's a fight between top experts! What an intense battle! "
"The sound is coming from the west. It shouldn't be too far away." Li Xue listened carefully. "Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course!" Ling Tian put on his night clothes and said hurriedly, "To dare to make a move in Bright Jade City at this time, it's either the Shui Family or Ling Jian. The other powers either don't have the guts or don't have the strength to do so. If we don't go and take a look, how can we be at ease? Even if we don't make a move, we can at least use this opportunity to understand Tamago's defenses! " Looking at Li Xue, he said, "You're really prepared. You even put on your night clothes and a veil to cover your face. I'm really impressed by your foresight."
Of course, she could hear the teasing tone in Ling Tian's words. He was clearly mocking her for being a blind cat that had met a dead mouse. Li Xue stuck out her tongue and made a funny face. "So what if I have foresight or not? It's still better than some people who almost jumped out naked!"
Ling Tian was infuriated. He covered his face with the veil and said angrily, "If not for you causing trouble, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be here right now. You still have the face to say such sarcastic words?!"
Li Xue giggled and smashed open the window. In the next moment, the two of them were standing side by side on the roof. To the west, there was a sea of red. The flames had already reached the sky. Occasionally, there would be faint screams coming from afar. It was the direction of Tamago!
"Let's go!" Ling Tian's figure flashed through the air. With a single word, he was already six zhang away! Li Xue followed closely behind him like a shadow.
No matter what, even if it wasn't Ling Jian, this was still a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters! Who knows, he might even be able to add insult to injury! Ling Tian thought to himself. Originally, he didn't intend to go to Tamago's base camp. But with such a good opportunity, he would be letting himself down if he didn't go.
Besides, if it was someone from his side, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't go?
Until now, Ling Tian would never have imagined that his coincidental investigation would save the life of his closest brother!
*****
Under the raging flames, Ling Jian was like an unkillable demon god. He dashed left and right, and the sword in his hand was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. Every time he swung it, blood would splatter everywhere!
He was dressed in black and had a black veil covering his face. Like a ghost, he dashed back and forth in the courtyard of Tamago. There were several times when he reached the bottom of the wall, but he was forced back by the Tamago disciples with their lives! No matter who he exchanged blows with, he would leave immediately and not linger on the battle. If his attack did not hit, he would turn around and reappear several zhang away!
On the ground, there were corpses strewn all over. Every one of them had the same wound: a red dot on their throat! But it was this small red dot that took away the vitality of these bodies!
The group of experts from Tamago finally witnessed the terrifying battle prowess of the First Pavilion Head! As expected of the number one assassin in the world! Everyone's expression was extremely grave as they watched the faint black figure that came and went as he pleased like the wind. It seemed as though he would never tire. Although this person's martial arts were extremely high, he was not at the peak of the world. At most, he was only at the small success stage of the XianTian realm. But the depth of his skills, the exquisiteness of his moves, and the strangeness of his movements, when all these aspects were combined together, it was truly amazing. It could be said that every strike of his was a life reaping! If they had not seen him use it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that there was such an exquisite and ruthless move in the world!
This was a move that existed solely for the sake of killing!
Yu Manlou stood far away on a fake mountain, his eyes fixed on the black figure who was like a mad tiger. His eyes were like that of an eagle's. He could see that up until now, the black figure's physical strength, mental strength, cultivation, and battle prowess were all being rapidly depleted. Only his battle intent had not diminished in the slightest! The killing intent in his eyes was still as cold as ever! The black figure's eyes were still as cold and emotionless as when he charged out!
As expected of the number one assassin in the world! Yu Manlou praised in his heart. With a wave of his right hand, the two experts who had been standing guard at the side flew up.
They're here!
From the beginning of the battle until now, Ling Jian had been carefully conserving his strength. The maximum output of his strength was only around 80%. The reason for this was because of this moment.
Ling Jian had deliberately suppressed his strength, creating an illusion that he was only so-so. He hoped that he could lure the experts of Tamago into the battle as soon as possible. He wanted to prevent them from using their defensive tactics to guard the various entrances. If that happened, there would be no way for him to escape. As long as the top experts of Tamago entered the battle, he would be able to find an opportunity to kill them. Secondly, he would be able to create chaos and escape. Even if he was destined to not be able to escape, Tamago would have to pay a considerable price! This way, even if he died, his death would be more valuable!
The two people in front of him were the Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master of Tamago Rising Heaven Pavilion. The two of them had always been inseparable. Not only were the two of them strong in martial arts, they were definitely not ordinary people for Yu ManLou to entrust them with the heavy responsibility of being the Pavilion Master. Even in terms of intelligence and guts, they were far above ordinary people.
With a circle of his sword, one of the two white robed men in front of him lost an arm and the other broke a leg. Blood splattered everywhere and Ling Jian followed closely behind. Everyone in the surroundings thought that Ling Jian was going to make use of this opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Because of Yu ManLou's strict orders, everyone rushed up to block Ling Jian. Behind him, the two Pavilion Masters also thought the same and increased their speed.
Without any warning, Ling Jian's body that was charging forward like an arrow suddenly retreated at a speed that was even faster than that of the two white robed men. His body spun at a high speed and a dazzling halo appeared on his sword. With a chilling killing intent, he slashed towards the two white robed men.
The two white robed men were still charging forward and upon seeing such a sharp sword, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Even though their eyes and minds were clear that the sword was coming at them, they couldn't stop their footsteps. Borrowing the momentum of their charge, they were like moths flying into a flame, flying towards the sword that was about to take their lives!
At this moment, the two white robed men felt their bodies turn cold! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
