"Why are you always so fierce to me?" Jiang Liechen asked. Ever since I made my debut, until now I've run amok in Jianghu, not many people have dared to order me around. Do you want to make it up to me in one go? " Shangguan Yaohua said, "Since you said that I have the privilege of not dying after offending you, it would be a waste not to use it. Hey, don't you think that I'm treating you a lot better than before? Are you still not satisfied? I have to say, these words don't sound like something you would say. You sound like an abused wife complaining to her husband's family. "
Jiang Liechen did not know whether to laugh or cry; the corner of his mouth trembled a couple of times. "Only you can think of something like that," he said. Shangguan Yaohua did not forget his' bad habit '; even though his impression of him had changed, he did not dare to be too respectful to him. From time to time he would still flaunt his authority. As for whether or not he would be able to protect Nangong Xue, he could not help but feel uncertain.
They continued to walk forward for a long time. The mountain wind whistled through the forest. Occasionally they would see a few wild rabbits leaping across the crisscrossing tree roots, but in a flash they would disappear without a trace.
Shangguan Yaohua thought, "There are some people who have trained hard their whole life, but in the end their lightness kung fu might not be as good as this wild rabbit. Wild animals are very good at hiding; it is their natural instinct, but also a necessity for survival. I hope Ah Xue has lived in Jianghu for a long time, so she also has a good concealment skill. "But if her skill was really outstanding, she would not have been easily detected by the servants of the Prince's mansion. He had not thought of this point.
Going up the mountain consumed a lot of energy, plus he was worried sick about Nangong Xue. Before he could walk more than a few steps, he was sweating profusely. His tired expression was mixed with panic; he was more anxious than anyone else. Jiang Liechen saw this and was also puzzled by his strange behavior. At the same time he was wondering why he was acting this way. These two people could not stop scheming for even half a moment. Their faces were calm and indifferent, but their minds were already somewhere else.
Several hours later, Shangguan Yaohua was so tired that he leaned against a tree to rest. "Even I feel unbearably bitter," he thought, "Ah Xue is only a girl, how can she endure this?"
He could hear the sound of flowing water, as if it was close at hand. It just so happened that his entire body and face were covered in sweat, as if he had been drenched in a heavy downpour, and was looking forward to washing his face properly, even if it could refresh his spirit. As far as the eye could see. The moment he saw it, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he almost tumbled off the cliff.
There was a small stream in front of him. What was strange was that there was a woman kneeling beside the stream. She was carrying a horizontal pole, and there were two buckets hanging on each side of her body. At this moment, one of the buckets was placed beside the stream, and she was quietly scooping water. This woman was dressed in a loose green robe, which made her body look even thinner and weaker. Her head was also wrapped in a coarse cloth. When the two buckets were filled, he could vaguely see her reveal a charming smile. She raised her head and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. She was clearly Nangong Xue, who had been missing for months.
Shangguan Yaohua's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She glanced at Jiang Liechen from the corner of her eyes. Fortunately, Jiang Liechen did not notice. However, she still felt that it would be difficult to hope that Nangong Xue would leave before that happened. She kept glancing behind her from the corner of her eyes. At the same time, she crouched down and slowly picked up a small stone. Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Liechen's attention was focused to the side, she hurriedly threw the stone.
The stone drew an arc in the air and fell into the water with a splash. A few drops even landed on Nangong Xue's face. Shangguan Yaohua looked fearfully at Jiang Liechen, but she also took the opportunity to turn her head to look. Not long after, even her head started to feel dizzy. She hoped that Nangong Xue would understand her hint and immediately leave to avoid this crisis.
However, the heavens did not fulfill her wishes. Not only did Nangong Xue see the ripples in the water, but she also saw the stone. She only thought that there was a naughty child nearby making fun of her. Looking back, she happened to see Shangguan Yaohua leaning against a tree. Her face was full of worry. She only knew about the incident in the wilderness, but didn't know about the many changes that followed. At this moment, she was both surprised and happy. She called out, "Young Master Cheng? Is … is that you? Are you alright? "
Shangguan Yaohua quickly gestured with her lips. At the same time, she gestured, "Let's go! Let's go! " However, the mountain wind was fierce and the water was flowing loudly. He didn't dare to make too much noise, so he only squeezed out a small sound between his teeth. The two of them were still some distance apart and had long since covered up. Nangong Xue couldn't hear him clearly. She even took a few steps forward and asked, "What did you say?"
Shangguan Yaohua wanted to cry but had no tears. Just as she was about to make more hand gestures, she suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep past her. She raised her hand to grab, but she caught nothing. She could only watch as Jiang Liechen flashed in front of Nangong Xue. She could only helplessly follow him down the slope and give chase.
Jiang Liechen didn't hold back at all. He launched a series of killer moves at Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue didn't have time to parry before her arm was hit hard. She felt a sharp pain in her wrist and the water bucket slipped from her hand, dripping wet all over the ground. Jiang Liechen kicked the bucket away. His attacks didn't stop at all. One move followed another. Nangong Xue was at a disadvantage from the start. She was powerless to parry and was forced to retreat step by step into the stream.
Jiang Liechen jabbed out several times in succession. Nangong Xue's shoulder was hit by a file and immediately drew blood. When she fell backwards, her trousers stepped into the water, all the way to her ankles. At this time of the year, the water in the stream was extremely cold. Nangong Xue suddenly shivered and became much more clear-headed. She activated her internal energy and jumped out of the water, leading him into the forest.
As far as Jiang Liechen was concerned, no matter where they were, it was just a game of cat and mouse. Unexpectedly, when Nangong Xue reached a tree, she randomly parried a few moves. Suddenly, she spun around and kicked the tree trunk. The leaves on the tree rustled and fell. Jiang Liechen was in the middle of it. For a moment, he was only focused on sweeping the leaves away. Nangong Xue took this opportunity to turn around and escape into the forest.
Although the leaves wouldn't hurt people, they would obstruct one's line of sight. It was extremely annoying. Jiang Liechen swept away the leaves with great difficulty. When he saw that Nangong Xue had already disappeared, he could still roughly remember the direction she had run in. He became even more furious and chased after her. At the same time, he used the soft sound of her footsteps to find the way.
Nangong Xue had stayed in the mountains for a long time and was very familiar with the terrain. She used the terrain to her advantage and had left him far behind. However, the difference in their internal energy was too great. In the end, she couldn't escape. Seeing that he had caught up to her in a short while, she turned pale with fright. Along the way, she pulled at the rattan vines and fiercely flung them behind her. As Jiang Liechen chased after her, the rattan vines continuously hit him in the face. He couldn't stand it anymore and swept his finger. In a split second, the rattan vines within a radius of several li were all blown to ashes.
When Nangong Xue was running at full speed, she had to constantly turn her head and pay attention to the situation behind her. This also slowed her down. After running for a short while, Jiang Jianchen opened his sleeve and a black, soft belt shot forward. It bounced a few times on the tree trunk before wrapping itself around Nangong Xue's neck. After wrapping itself around Nangong Xue's neck, he pulled back his hand. Nangong Xue suddenly felt the belt tighten around her neck. She only had time to grab the belt with both hands to prevent herself from suffocating. At this moment, her feet were off the ground and she was practically pulled back through the air. As she neared, Jiang Liechen struck out with his palm and hit Nangong Xue's back. At the same time, he removed the belt.
Nangong Xue wanted to cough violently. Suddenly, she felt her lungs tremble violently and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She forced herself to endure it and at the same time, the coughing sensation disappeared. All that was left was discomfort, as if the insides of her body were falling apart.
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said, "Where do you think you're going? Even if you hide in the deep mountains or forests, you'll still fall into my hands in the end, won't you? " He casually flicked his two fingers and a finger force shot out horizontally, tearing off Nangong Xue's hood. A clump of beautiful black hair fell down and draped over her shoulders.
Nangong Xue looked at the long hair that hung down in front of her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "I've already decided to leave the Wulin world. From now on, I won't involve myself in the affairs of Jianghu. Why must Your Excellency force me again and again? "
Jiang Liechen said coldly, "Ridiculous! How can the debt between you and me be resolved with just a few words of 'leaving the Wulin world'? You forced me to kill my brother with my own hands. The main culprits in this matter are Li Yijie and Shen Shiyun, those two bastards. But don't forget that you were also involved in the siege of my Sacrifice Shadow School. You can't escape responsibility either. I remember it clearly. Don't even think about escaping! Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, I'll find you one by one and make you pay for your sins with your life! "
Nangong Xue was not afraid at all. She raised the back of her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She said, "I should advise you not to be too self-righteous. I chose to live in seclusion in the mountains not because I wanted to escape or because I'm afraid of you. You're just a pitiful person who doesn't know what's good for you and only knows how to do things your own way. At most, I'll feel sympathy for you and sigh at the tragedy that your stubbornness led to. But why should you be afraid? "
Jiang Liechen was furious. He grabbed Nangong Xue's neck and said, "I'm not pitiful! I'm the most powerful person in the world. No one can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Why should I be pitiful? On the contrary, you people who hate me and practice martial arts bitterly but still can't surpass me and can't kill me. In my eyes, you should be the ones who should feel sorry for your own shortsightedness! "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "You killed Young Marshal Mu because of your own stubbornness. Not only did you refuse to admit your regret, you didn't even dare to admit your mistake. So you went on a killing spree and vented your anger on others. You didn't want to atone for your sins, but to transfer your sins to others, to give you a target to hate and take revenge on. It's really pitiful and laughable. This kind of behavior is like a three-year-old child who fell to the ground and didn't think about his own carelessness. Instead, he blamed the ground for the mistake. A child's heart can be understood, but you … you're no longer a child. Have you lived for more than twenty years in vain? Is your understanding still stuck at the three-year-old stage? All living things are equal in the world. What right do you have to call yourself the supreme being of the world? If you don't even dare to face yourself, you'll always be like this. You won't be able to make any progress! "
Jiang Liechen said hatefully, "What do you mean by 'I'? Tell me! '"At the same time, he exerted more force and her snow-white neck immediately turned purple.
Nangong Xue was forced to raise her head, but her eyes were still cold and fearless. She said, "Despicable and shameless. Filthy and unbearable. "
Jiang Liechen's eyes turned and he suddenly let go of her. He said, "You can scold me all you want, but it's pointless. No one can touch me. This is an indisputable fact! His revenge will be paid with the lives of sinners like you. As for my hatred, it will be paid with fresh blood! "
Nangong Xue sneered, "That's right. In the past few months, you've been acting like a madman. Even though I've been living in seclusion in the mountains, I've heard that Your Excellency has committed major crimes in various places. Your hands are already stained with countless blood. Hearing about it makes one's heart turn cold! How can there be such a cold-blooded person in the world? "
Jiang Liechen was in a daze for a moment before he said, "I'm not an ordinary person. I'm what you mortals call a god or a devil! I've been stained with blood since I was a child! Because of this, my sins will never be redeemed for all eternity. I've never asked for your forgiveness. "
