At the foot of the mountain.
"Qu Youfeng! How dare you! " Shen Liuyun gritted her teeth as she stared at Qu Youfeng, who was blocking her way. She clenched her fists so hard that they turned white.
"You forced me to do this!" Qu Youfeng sneered at Shen Liuyun. "How many moves can Yan Li take when Master makes his move? I'm afraid he'll be reduced to ashes in just one move. "
"If he dies, do you think Senior Brother will forgive you after knowing the truth?" Chen Liuyun forcefully endured his rage. "Now, if you go tell Senior Brother the truth, I will plead on your behalf and ask your Martial Ancestor to make a move to suppress your inner demons and recover your foundation!"
"Restore my Dao foundation …" The madness in Qu Youfeng's eyes faded. "Now … is there still any room for redemption …"
"As long as you do as I say, even if I have to risk my life, I will protect your life!" Shen Liuyun said in a low voice. "I, Shen Liuyun, always keep my word. What else do you have to doubt?"
"I …" Qu Youfeng's face showed a look of struggle. "Junior Uncle, I treated you like that, why do you still …"
His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Liuyun's eyes, but he didn't pay any attention to himself. He wished he could reach out a hand and climb to the top of the mountain to save that person.
"No …" Qu Youfeng suddenly calmed down and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "I know, you love that person. As long as he's alive, everything else doesn't matter, including the offense I've done to you, right?"
Shen Liuyun didn't want to feign civility. "This is your reality. You can live, but you can't get my forgiveness!"
"I don't need this kind of reality!" Qu Youfeng roared. He then leaped high, true Qi surging. His only arm was covered in a silver-gray color. With two swings, two saber lights slashed toward Shen Liuyun.
Shen Liuyun's eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to counter the attack, he realized that his Genuine Qi was stagnant and difficult to circulate. He barely managed to throw out a palm strike. The cloud-like Genuine Qi collided with the saber radiance. How could it be a match for the saber radiance? He was forced back to the road by the burst of Qi, and his face immediately turned ugly.
It has been nearly ten days since she was injured. In addition to rushing on the road, she was treating Yan Li, making medicine, and boiling medicine. She didn't have time to take good care of her injury. At the critical moment, the blockage of meridians became a fatal weakness.
"Jie Jie Jie …" Qu Youfeng laughed weirdly, "In order to treat Yan Li's injury these days, you didn't take care of yourself at all. Look at your current appearance, it's really ugly."
After pausing for a moment, he grinned maliciously and said, "If I want to live, other than you pleading for me, there is another way, and that is to kill you. Since I can't have you, why not destroy you so that no one else can have you? "
Shen Liuyun suddenly felt a kind of sorrow and wavering. The ugliness of human nature was completely reflected on Qu Youfeng's body, causing her to have a trace of doubt towards the argument of 'life is priceless'. Was this kind of life really worth continuing? Or was it better to destroy it to prevent more lives from being tainted? But if he did that, he would be denying life itself.
The strong wind as sharp as a saber awakened Shen Liuyun. When she looked up, she saw the sky full of saber radiance falling from the sky. Her pupils involuntarily contracted. The strong will to survive made the Genuine Qi in her body break through the confinement, and it surged out like a tide.
"Grand Emperor Wu Yin, Leaping Over the Dragon Gate!"
The cloud-like Genuine Qi pressed down with the slender palm, like the last dash of a carp leaping over the dragon. Then it changed with the palm print, like a new sharp flood dragon soaring into the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
The flood dragon and the saber radiance collided. It was not only a battle of unique skills, but also a battle of momentum between the two sides. Both had the bravery of "meeting on a narrow path, the braver one wins", so there was a continuous explosion.
Shen Liuyun's ears were ringing from the explosion, her brain was buzzing, and the following violent impact caused her to retreat dozens of steps, crashing into the carriage that was stopped by the side of the road. The horse that was pulling the carriage was startled, and ran away with its four hooves dragging the empty carriage. She lost her support, and fell weakly to the side of the road.
"Look at the Queen of our academy. What a loss of self-control." Qu Youfeng slowly walked down the stone steps. "Are you going to beg me for mercy? I guess you won't, so let me send you on your way! "
Shen Liuyun struggled to stand up. Her pale face was full of awe-inspiring and inviolable divine light. "I think I understand. Life itself is worthy of praise. Life and human nature are two parallel lines that can never intersect. Life itself is not noble, and nobility itself is not noble. The real nobility should be the character that can be compared with life. There is no high or low in human nature, because no matter good or bad, they are all within the scope of human nature."
"You …" Qu Youfeng's face suddenly became extremely ugly. "What are you trying to say?"
Shen Liuyun said lightly, "I suddenly feel that you are forgiven. Because you are also a human, and only a human."
"Haha, are you a god?"
Shen Liuyun smiled. "There are two spirits in my heart. One is attached to the mortal world, indulging in love and desire; the other is detached from the mortal world, and ascended to the lofty spiritual realm."
With the deafening "mantra", the cloud-shaped true Qi around her body turned into wisps of green smoke. They intertwined and constructed on her body, faintly forming the shape of a big cauldron.
With the appearance of the big cauldron, Shen Liuyun's whole body was shrouded by an awe-inspiring and inviolable divine light. All the resentment on her face was replaced by tranquility and indifference.
"A, a precelestial cauldron?" Qu Youfeng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The sudden surge of emotions almost made him unable to breathe. "No, it's impossible. Even Grandmaster couldn't do it. How could you …"
The reason why he was like this was because there was a legend in Longxiang Mountain: Any disciple who could cast a precelestial cauldron in the cultivation realm would be able to see through the red world.
The red world was the seventh realm of cultivation. Above the red world, beyond the mortal world, was the red world. It meant that it was a realm that humans could not reach. It was truly "detached from the mortal world".
What he had done before, compared to this realm, was no different than a clown's joke. Qu Youfeng suddenly felt that he was incomparably small. He simply couldn't bear this shame. He wanted to escape, but the reality was cruel.
The reality was cruel because it couldn't be avoided. Moreover, the facts that had already happened would never be changed.
Realizing this, Qu Youfeng, who was swallowed by crazy jealousy, had his murderous intent soar again. At this moment, pain overrode his desire. He was no longer in the mood to appreciate Shen Liuyun's ugly appearance. He wanted to tear her into pieces immediately to calm the restlessness in his soul.
At the same time, the sharp palm blade was already very close to Shen Liuyun.
Shen Liuyun's expression suddenly changed.
A stream of light flew from the side of the two of them. There was no warning before this.
The intense danger alarmed Qu Youfeng. In a hurry, the palm blade hastily changed direction and collided with the stream of light. However, he couldn't completely block it. The stream of light brushed past the palm blade and cut through his shoulder, cutting off a large piece of flesh. Then, it sank into the road on the other side. Only then did he see the true form of the stream of light. It was a sword. The exposed hilt and half of the sword body kept trembling and emitting a "weng weng" sound.
On the road in the direction of Licheng, a person gradually walked over.
This person was in his early thirties, and his facial features were very spirited. He wore a silk scarf on his head and had a short beard. He wore a brown dress with a straight collar, a belt, and a pair of boots that were meticulous … No, his entire body was meticulous, even his steps were meticulous. It was as if he had a sense of "a little more would be too long, and a little less would be too short".
When Shen Liuyun saw him, she smiled. "Chen Jinjin, why are you here?"
When he heard this name, the corner of the person's mouth twitched. Then, it moved up along his cheeks until it reached his brows. Half of his face actually wrinkled. Then, he calmed down. "I'm Chen Ping. Why do you always remember wrongly?"
"No, I didn't remember wrongly. You're Chen Jinjin, the calculative Jinjin." Shen Liuyun smiled very happily.
The person who came was the magistrate of Licheng, Chen Ping.
Chen Ping ignored her and cupped his fists towards Qu Youfeng, who was lying on the ground, unable to move. "The situation is urgent. I hope the superintendent can be magnanimous enough to forgive me. May I know why the two of you are fighting?"
Qu Youfeng suddenly seemed to be grasping at straws. "Chen Ping, quick! Junior Master is being controlled by evil magic. She wants to kill me. Quick, save me …"
"This …" Chen Ping looked at Shen Liuyun's eyes. He saw that her eyes were clear and even more tranquil than before. It was as if the world of mortals could no longer stir up the waves in her heart.
"Judge for yourself." This was all Shen Liuyun said. Then, she sped towards the top of the mountain.
Qu Youfeng's face suddenly turned pale. He knew that there was nothing he could do. He struggled to stand up and tried to escape.
"I'm sorry, superintendent. You're trying to hurt an in-service instructor of the Inner Yard. I can't turn a blind eye." Without giving any explanation, he grabbed Qu Youfeng and chased after her.
…
Zhang Dashan couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. A mere third-rank martial artist had not only blocked his attack, but also threatened to make him never reincarnate. Although the other's aura was a little strange, it still made him feel ridiculous. But there was one thing he was certain of, and that was Qu Youfeng's testimony.
"It really is a crooked path!"
But Yan Li's face flickered back and forth between evil and clear. "Now, it's not time for you to appear …" It sounded like his original voice.
"I'm in the dark …"
"Shut up …"
He suddenly raised his head and panted heavily. He said to Zhang Dashan, "Don't you have a chance to explain? Even a prisoner on death row will be given a sumptuous last meal."
"You want to bewitch me?" Zhang Dashan's eyes were sharp. He raised his sword and swung it again.
The sword's aura was like a tide, faster than lightning.
Yan Li's pupils shrank. He suddenly took out his Separation Cliff to block the attack. At the same time, he frantically activated the Hidden Sword Formula.
The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. The Separation Cliff and the bones in his arm groaned at the same time. Then, the pain spread through his entire body. With just a touch, he flew out like a broken puppet. He didn't know how many fruit trees he broke before he stopped. Because of the intense pain, he almost lost consciousness. The external force absorbed by the Hidden Sword Formula dissipated uncontrollably.
With just one blow, all the bones in Yan Li's body were damaged to varying degrees. And if it weren't for the Hidden Sword Formula, it wouldn't be his bones that were damaged, but his internal organs.
But he still lost the ability to resist.
Zhang Dashan walked in front of him. His eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness, as if he was looking down at an ant.
"Don't tell me … there's no … chance … to … speak …" Yan Li endured the pain and stared back at him unyieldingly. With every word he said, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Dashan asked coldly.
Yan Li stuttered, "I only … ask you … one thing … Do you dare … to test …"
In Zhang Dashan's eyes, Yan Li was already very miserable. He was on the verge of death, but he refused to back down. He had no intention of begging for mercy or admitting defeat.
Zhang Dashan also understood what Yan Li meant. If Qu Youfeng's testimony was true, then Shen Liuyun was definitely not a virgin. As long as he tested her, he would immediately understand.
