Chapter 84 The dust has settled
Liu Ruyi felt like he had grown wings and was being pushed into the sky.
He saw a bright moon rolling before his eyes, and then a sky full of stars spreading out, like a fledgling flying for the first time and not knowing how to use it.
After tumbling several times, it fell headfirst into the ruins.
Dust flew up.
There were also scattered pieces falling in front of my eyes.
Liu Ruyi's eyes were full of blood. When he opened his eyes again, the whole world in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood-red light.
He lay there, unable to feel his limbs, with waves of pain coming over him, the most pain he had ever experienced in his life.
Try to raise your head and look forward.
In front of me was a familiar leg.
It was his own leg.
In the pool of blood, the severed leg was twisted and bleeding. Further away, among the shadows of blood, there was a person walking towards him with his arms stretched out.
He also staggered as he walked.
His steps were unsteady and he almost fell on the uneven ground cut by the Qingsi Sword Net, but he walked more and more steadily and his hunched back straightened up.
At this moment, the previous opposition between the two was completely reversed.
"boom"
Jiang Xia kicked in front of him, kicking the broken leg out of the pool of blood. He stood in front of Liu Ruyi, lowered his head, and looked down at him condescendingly.
Master Liu didn't even have the strength to speak at this moment. The left half of his face was blown into a bloody mess, and his eye had become a bloody hole, which looked very creepy.
But he is still struggling.
I don't know where the strength comes from.
His body, which was half shattered by the explosion, was shaking. Especially when Jiang Xia stood in front of him, raised his right hand, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at his eyes, Liu Ruyi struggled more violently.
It looked like a wild beast that had lost a fatal battle and was about to die.
He was going to be swallowed up by the equally wounded victor, who would bite his bones and suck his blood, and chew and swallow him, the loser.
He wants to digest himself and generate new domineering power.
This is what wild beasts, which prey on the weak, do.
people.
Actually, it’s the same.
"I actually have many ways to kill you, and I won't even bleed."
Jiang Xia shook his body. He felt the weakness surge from his body, but his right hand holding the gun was very steady. With the muzzle of the gun tilted downward, he looked at the dying Liu Ruyi.
explain:
"But I still came here in person, paid all these costs, and stood before you to give you this bullet. I am a person who... has a strong sense of ritual.
And you, Liu Ruyi, are the first prey I captured on this battlefield, and the first sacrifice I offer to this new life."
"Click"
The hammer of the revolver was pulled down, and a bloody finger was on the trigger.
Like a victor's declaration.
He said :
"I will let you die, and through your death, I will pass on your power to me. I will then use you to warn me, so that I will remember what the fate of losers in this world will be."
"You, too... will die!"
Liu Ruyi might not understand Jiang Xia's words. He was already in his dying stage, with blood gushing out of his wounds, taking away his last bit of vitality.
At the time of farewell.
With his last remaining strength, he said to Jiang Xia in a dry and unclear voice:
"The star array... wasn't discovered by my brother... It was Hong Tao's... conspiracy. The one who implicated you was not me... the Liu family, but him! He knows it.
But you don't know.
Oh, you thought...
Do you think that after seeing what you did tonight, after seeing your strength, he... would allow you to continue living?"
Probably a last gasp.
Liu Ruyi's intermittent voice became strangely steady at this moment. He stared at Jiang Xia with his bloody left eye and bloodshot right eye.
It's like a lone wolf's curse before its last breath.
"You are a threat! More terrible than my Liu family... That old dog Hong Tao will do everything he can to destroy you, just like you... were used as a gun by him to destroy my family!
Do you still dare to believe him?
Do you still dare to trust an old fox who will push you into a desperate situation without even showing up?
you.
Jiangxia.
You are the next me!"
"No."
Jiang Xia bent down and sat on Liu Ruyi's blood-stained body as if he was riding a horse, pressing his wound, and the gun in his hand was pressed against Liu Fangzhu's forehead.
He replied:
"I'm different from you. We just look alike, but we are two completely different creatures."
"You are so eager to become one of them that you will be exploited by those superior people, but I am different. I don't ask for anything from them.
I have never thought of becoming a ridiculous person like them.
I'm not someone who craves change like you.
I am the one who brings about change.
Brother Ruyi.
Don't worry about me.
After you go down, tell Master Bao that I have finally settled my account with him tonight."
Liu Ruyi couldn't hear it anymore.
His breathing was weakening rapidly. Even if Jiang Xia didn't shoot, he would die in a few seconds.
but……
"boom"
A gunshot ended everything.
Jiang Xia's body shook a bit, and he put the empty gun back into his waist. He stretched out his right hand and pulled hard on Liu Ruyi's bloody right hand.
As the green light faded, he took the delicate green silk gauntlet in his hand. He turned his head to face outside, moved his mouth a few times, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
There were also several broken teeth.
"ah"
Jiang Xia wiped his mouth and cried out in pain. After the effect of the adrenaline wore off, his real senses returned and he was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Shua"
The breeze was flowing, as sharp as a knife. Behind Liu Ruyi's body with his head exploded, and behind Jiang Xia who was lowering his head, Chu Qiao in white was already standing there.
Senior Brother Chu had a blank expression on his face.
Even though he had just "appreciated" a fight that made him feel uneasy.
Even though it was just a fight to the death between mortals, it was more painful to his mind than those soft, theatrical "fights" he had experienced before.
He would never forget what he saw tonight.
He even learned a lot of things that he had not noticed before from the battle between these two mortals.
pity.
He did not thank Jiang Xia.
"Jiang Xia, an outer disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain, killed his fellow disciple Liu Ruyi in Fengyang County. Although he is a mortal, he must be brought back to Mo Shuang Mountain for the elders to deal with!"
Chu Qiao said to the person behind her in a cold tone:
"Lord City God, are you going to stop me again?"
The City God of the County City did not answer. He glanced at Jiang Xia's back, and his figure disappeared on the eaves in the night like quicksand. He had done what he was supposed to do.
"follow me."
Chu Qiao stretched out her hand, placed it on Jiang Xia's shoulder, and said:
"Go back to the mountain."
"Do not touch me!"
His fingers were roughly opened by Jiang Xia.
The latter sat on Liu Ruyi's body, and with his still movable right hand, he took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and put it to his mouth without paying attention to the blood stains.
"I am very dirty, and I am afraid of dirtying the hands of a transcendent cultivator like Senior Brother Chu."
"you!"
Chu Qiao finally couldn't hold it anymore.
A fire of anger burned in the eyes of the young monk.
He was forced not to intervene and could only watch Liu Ruyi die. The feeling of powerlessness turned into boiling anger in an instant.
This mortal...
hateful!
Senior Brother Chu raised his hand again, and this time spiritual power was pulsating on his fingers. He wanted to capture this ungrateful mortal and bring him back to the mountains. Jiang Xia felt the wind blowing from behind.
But he didn't move and continued looking for the lighter.
"Snapped"
Chu Qiao's hands were opened again.
This time it was not Jiang Xia, but the outer sect elder who moved over from the Earth Plate.
Wang Liufu, Wang Xianren.
The spiritual powers of the two people collided, like a shock wave.
The slight collision between the two True Realm cultivators caused a spiritual wind to blow, which splashed dust everywhere and Chu Qiao was shaken back a little.
I saw the pot-bellied Wang Liufu, twirling his beard, standing behind Jiang Xia.
The fat monk still maintained his usual smiling demeanor, holding a whisk in his hand in a pretentious manner. Unfortunately, the same style of robe looked very chic on Chu Qiao.
But when worn by Wang Liufu, it felt tight and there was not a single trace of transcendence in it.
"Wang Liufu! What do you mean?"
Chu Qiao looked at Wang Liufu who suddenly appeared, and she no longer felt any closeness to him as a fellow disciple. She said in a cold voice:
"Are you going to protect this criminal?"
“No rules!”
Wang Liufu shook his whisk, snorted, and said calmly:
"Are you a young man who calls me by my name?
You should call me Uncle-Master, or Elder Wang.
Everyone in the sect says that your lineage is very domineering, and I have seen it with my own eyes today. If something happens to someone from my outer sect, I will naturally handle it.
Is it your turn as a third-generation disciple to give orders?
Do you really not take my position as an outer sect elder seriously?"
"you!"
Chu Qiao, the talented young man, was immediately angered by Wang Liufu's sarcasm.
He raised his left hand, pointed in front of him, and shouted:
"You two are in cahoots with each other! I will definitely give you..."
"Oh, it's another good kid being bullied, and going home crying for his mother. Tsk tsk, what kind of immortal are you? What's the point of calling yourself a cultivator?"
Jiang Xia finally found the lighter, flicked it a few times with his right hand, and lit the cigarette.
He took a comfortable puff of smoke and said:
"I think it's better to call them kindergarten kids, elder, don't you think so?"
"Tsk! You have no right to speak!"
Wang Liufu scolded in a stern tone, but he raised his finger and a warm spiritual energy emanated, lifting Jiang Xia, who was unable to get up.
In front of Chu Qiao, he took out a book from his sleeve and flipped through a few pages.
He coughed a few times and glanced at Chu Qiao, who had a serious expression and no smile on her face.
Shi Shiran said:
"The third rule of the Outer Sect Disciple Rules states that as an Outer Sect Disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain, you must strictly abide by the local mortal worldly precepts and laws. If you fight privately or accidentally kill someone, you will be forced to give up your practice, be expelled from the Outer Sect, and never be accepted again.
The offender will then be handed over to the local government office, and the law will be enforced impartially according to the king's laws!
Well, traitor Jiang Xia, since you haven't practiced cultivation, you naturally don't have to give it up.
This elder is now informing you that you are no longer a disciple of Mo Shuang Shan. Go to the government office to receive your punishment. In the future, you must be a good mortal, obey the law, and do not commit crimes.
If I find out again that you have hurt others, I will never let you off easily!
did you know?
Are you convinced?"
"Yes, Elder. I am convinced that your decision is fair."
Jiang Xia yawned, said something perfunctorily, then turned and left.
After taking two staggering steps, he suddenly turned around, picked up the blood-stained black silk armor in his arms with his right hand, and waved it to Chu Qiao as if to show off.
He whistled and said:
"This ownerless item belongs to whoever picks it up. Jiang is really lucky today. I also thank Senior Brother Chu for the magic weapon. Good people will definitely be rewarded.
Senior Brother Chu, uh, no, Immortal Chu will definitely ."
At this moment, Jiang Xia and Wang Liufu both felt the murderous intent emanating from Chu Qiao. Shi Liu, who was hiding in the dark, was rubbing his hands eagerly.
It is ready for another "fishing expedition".
But unfortunately, the murderous aura dissipated after a moment.
Chu Qiao, whose eyes were originally blazing with fire, put away his anger and murderous intent at this moment. He took a deep look at Jiang Xia's back, then turned to look at Wang Liufu and asked in a dry voice:
"I didn't know that there are also rules for disciples in the outer sect. Uncle Wang... when were these rules established?"
"Three days ago."
Wang Liufu shook his whisk and asked:
"Master, do you have any objections?"
"No, I'm just a junior, how dare I have that?"
Chu Qiao was surprisingly calm at this moment. He raised his hands and said goodbye to Wang Liufu in a standard ancient manner. He turned around and gathered clouds and mist, soaring up.
In the moonlight clouds, he put his clenched pale left hand behind his back and shouted down as casually as usual:
“I have learned a lot during my visit to the mortal world.
The ancient sage said, "Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles." This is indeed a wise saying. I also thank Uncle Wang and Mr. Jiang for their teachings and examples. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay them."
After saying that, Chu Qiao waved her hand and turned into a stream of light, flying towards Mo Shuang Mountain. When she reached the corner of the street, Jiang Xia looked up, smoked a cigarette, and watched him leave.
There was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"What a great opportunity, what a pity, he is indeed a genius from Mo Shuang Mountain."
"Jasmine, the missile launch procedure is terminated. Send those three little treasures back to the basement. We won't need them tonight."
"Buzz"
With another magical move, Wang Liufu appeared beside Jiang Xia.
He took out a pill from his sleeve, crushed the wax seal, and stuffed it into Jiang Xia's mouth. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a warm current rose up, which instantly awakened Jiang Xia's sluggish spirit.
The mouth where several teeth have fallen out may also feel extremely itchy, because new teeth are growing out.
"Your hand...is badly injured."
Immortal Wang looked at Jiang Xia's terrifying left hand and said:
"I have to ask my master for a magical elixir that can help me regrow my severed limbs. Don't worry, if you do a good job, I will not treat you unfairly."
“No need.”
Jiang Xia also glanced at his left arm which had completely lost all feeling. He shrugged, took off his cigarette butt, threw it on the ground, and said casually:
"I've been annoyed with this arm for a long time, and this time I can save myself the trouble."
"Anyway, Immortal Wang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
