Chapter 68: What can a flying knife do to me?
What a little thief who escaped from marriage.
The corners of Chu Qing's mouth twitched slightly under the mask, but why did Wu Qianhuan's words sound a little weird?
"assassin?"
Chu Yan shook his head:
"No, if he was an assassin, why would he fight me now?
“You didn’t know who I was at first.
"Of course, I can't ask him to kill me...
"For an assassin who lives for money, it is already commendable that he did not turn around and run away at this time, let alone actively getting involved in this chaos?
"The most important thing is... if he was an assassin, when I attacked Miss Wu just now, he shouldn't have saved Miss Wu first and then attacked me.
"Otherwise, his sword could be even faster.
"So don't be fooled by him. He is not an assassin... Even if he is, he will treat you differently."
When these words fell into the ears of those who were paying close attention, their eardrums would ring.
Wu Ganqi subconsciously looked at Chu Qing.
Could it really be that bastard! ?
He is back?
Wu Qianhuan said nothing, but just looked at Chu Qing quietly.
She had said everything she could and should say.
As for the rest, if I continue to deny it... that would be too deliberate and too obvious.
Chu Yunfei looked up at this time:
"You... could it really be Qing'er?"
Chu Qing glanced at Chu Yunfei and ignored him.
Chu Yunfei's forehead veins throbbed secretly. How dare you ignore your father? After seven years of not seeing each other, you're really itching for trouble, right?
But Chu Qing glanced at Chu Yan:
“There’s no reason to explain to you what I’m going to do.
“But seeing that you talk so much nonsense, I will just reply to you.
“Miss Wu is my client, and she asked me to kill someone tonight… Your killing of others has nothing to do with me.
"But if you dare to do something to her... She hasn't paid me yet. If you kill her, who can I ask for the money?"
This is also reasonable.
Chu Yan nodded:
"Then why were you so murderous when you saw me dragging Chu Fan?"
"…What does this have to do with you?"
Chu Qing frowned:
"You are such a weird person, you are running fast.
“But when it comes to taking action, she is so fussy.
"I have been chatting with you for half the night, how much silver do you have to give me?
"Are you going to fight or not?"
"Then let's talk a little more."
Chu Yan smiled and said:
“You are good at martial arts and swordsmanship.
"You shouldn't be hanging out with these ants... Why don't you join my Tianxie Cult? I'll teach you the [Blood Demon Sutra] and bring glory to my cult.
"In the future, there will be countless mountains of gold and silver, and I will be able to dominate the martial arts world!"
"Give me money?"
Chu Qing seemed to be somewhat moved.
Chu Yan nodded:
“Here, we in the Tianxie Sect will not make our brothers suffer even if no one else suffers.
“Every month, give this number!”
He held up five fingers.
Chu Qing was furious:
"Just five taels of silver?"
"Fifty taels of gold!"
Chu Yan glared at him:
"Five taels of silver? To send away a beggar?"
Chu Qing took a breath of cold air:
"So many?"
"If you, Brother Ye Di, are willing to join our Tianxie Cult, you will get even more!"
Chu Yan patiently persuaded:
“And, the longer you join my teaching, the more you will gain.
"If you can make merit for our sect, the leader will be pleased and may even grant you the title of second to none.
"By then, I might even have to rely on Brother Yedi's support."
Chu Qing touched his chin and nodded:
"That's not a bad idea... Come on, tell me in detail what the Tianxie Cult is all about.
"What do we want to do?"
"Come, come, I'll tell you in detail."
The two of them were in cahoots in the blink of an eye. The more they talked, the closer they became. They even walked towards each other, and it looked like they were about to put their arms around each other.
Wu Qianhuan widened her eyes, feeling a little confused.
The originally firm idea suddenly became a little unsteady...
But then the Qingye sword that had been hanging by his side suddenly pierced through Chu Yan's chest. Chu Yan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Before Wu Qianhuan could react, she noticed another figure appeared behind Chu Qing.
Chu Yan!!
That was fake again!
Chu Yan appeared with a palm, the palm was scarlet, it was - Blood-Transforming Divine Palm.
But soon afterwards, his figure disappeared like a flickering candle... A flash of sword light crossed the void, and it turned around without anyone noticing, and it suddenly seemed as if it had been there all along.
"These...these two people are so despicable!!"
Wu Qianhuan woke up from a dream.
These two people have been talking so much nonsense for a long time, just hoping that the other party will believe them so that they can take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness and launch a sneak attack.
The two people had the same idea and ended up taking action at the same time.
But no one could deceive anyone...
"I'm still too naive."
Wu Qianhuan reflected deeply and found that compared with this group of people, she was pure and harmless.
At this moment, the two people fighting in the yard were different from before.
The previous situation was that Chu Qing drew his sword and Chu Yan ran away.
But this time, Chu Yan took action.
However, he retracted his Blood Transformation Palm halfway through, and was faced with Chu Qing's sword.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yan's figure flickered and Chu Qing's sword flashed.
When he appeared again, Chu Yan's hands were covered with blood light, and they were almost together. Chu Qing's sword was between his hands and was blocked by the blood light.
Chu Qing's eyes were full of purple, and the edge of the sword was covered with a layer of purple edge.
Before they could even finish, the two disappeared from everyone's sight once again.
Only layers of sword energy and blood were left, causing the void to explode continuously.
Sometimes a deep pit was trampled out on the ground, sometimes a sword mark suddenly appeared on the wall, sometimes blood flew across the sky, and sometimes the eaves were split in two and fell from mid-air.
After the two figures exchanged several moves around the fallen eaves, the eaves fell to the ground and shattered everywhere.
The more they fought, the more shocked Chu Yan became.
The first time can be considered a small test.
He knew very well that the only one who could pose a threat to him on the field today was this swordsman whose origins were unknown.
His sword is too fast!
[Blood Shadow Phantom] I have used it twice now. It is a unique body movement skill in the Blood Demon Sutra.
But the use of it is not without cost.
This method emphasizes "exchanging blood for life", turning the world upside down in an instant.
If used at a critical moment, it can not only save lives, but also turn defeat into victory.
But I used this twice tonight. The first time was to save my life, and the second time was to turn the tide, but I failed... Chu Qing is very scheming. He seems casual but he is definitely not easy to deal with.
Now that his body is lacking in energy and blood, if he continues to forcibly use the Blood Shadow Illusion, he might be in danger of death.
He needs more energy and blood!
As his eyes turned, he looked at Wu Ganqi and others who were watching them not far away...
At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly spoke:
"Everyone, retreat twenty feet away." Chu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and Chu Qing's speed slowed down after saying this.
He didn't have such fast movements... If Chu Yan hadn't moved around so fast that he was only within a range of ten feet, which was exactly where his sword could reach, he wouldn't have been able to fight Chu Yan to this extent.
Chu Yan's speed was based on his body movements, while Chu Qing's speed was driven by his sword.
In comparison, Chu Qing is actually inferior.
Now that he was speaking, he slowed down even more, allowing Chu Yan to escape from the reach of his sword in an instant.
Chu Yan looked around and found that Wu Ganqi and others around him actually followed his advice and retreated to a distance of twenty feet away.
I was a little frustrated for a moment.
Looking at Chu Qing again, his eyes were gloomy:
"Brother Yedi, you are not particular."
Chu Qing glanced at him with a half-smile, and suddenly said:
"Why are you so timid in fighting this expert from the Tianxie Cult?"
This was an irrelevant answer to the question, but it made Chu Yan's heart tremble.
He snorted coldly:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Your inner strength is superior to mine, and your speed is unparalleled, but you have been dodging and defending for such a long time since we fought.
“You’re not willing to take even the slightest risk… If you’re willing to take a little injury and use yourself as bait to take my sword, with your ability, it won’t be difficult for you to avoid the vital points.
“When the time comes, you can capture my sword, and the outcome will be decided in one move.
"But you still don't want to, is it because you didn't expect it, or are you afraid of the pain?
"Or is there some unspeakable reason?"
Chu Qing's voice fell word by word. Although Chu Yan's expression remained unchanged, his heart was already beating fast.
This was a secret that he absolutely did not want to reveal to Chu Qing.
The profound mystical meaning of the Blood Demon Scripture is an outstanding secret skill even among all the magic skills.
When one cultivates to the state of great perfection, one can be injured but not die. Even if a vital point is stabbed, one's internal energy will not be reduced, and not even a drop of blood will be shed.
It is only because he has reached this level of Blood Demon Sutra that he can control his own qi and blood as easily as using one's own arms.
Even if one is disabled, one can use the Blood Demon Sutra to seal the wound and let the blood flow as it originally did without causing any harm to oneself.
Then he would use the [Blood Demon Returning to Origin Method] on his opponent to absorb his blood and repair his own injuries. He would become stronger and stronger as the battle went on, as if the Blood Demon had come to the world and was immortal.
But there is one thing... this is the effect that can only be achieved with the complete Blood Demon Scripture.
The Blood Demon Scripture that Chu Yan practiced, although it contained secret methods such as the [Blood Demon Return to Origin Method], lacked a key mantra.
This was also the reason why Tang Yinfeng said he was "fragile" in the dungeon.
Without this mantra, he could control his own Qi and blood at will while his body was in good condition.
However, once more serious damage occurs, causing the internal organs to leak out, Qi and blood will collapse.
This flaw is too big, but Chu Yan didn’t think it was a big deal before.
He was certain that with people like Wu Ganqi, it was impossible for them to harm him in any way.
Even if he was occasionally hit by the Qingxu Palm or other means, his profound internal strength would not cause serious consequences.
But tonight a Chu Qing appeared.
His sword was too fast. If it pierced my palm or pierced my throat, then everything would be over.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan suddenly sneered:
"I don't understand what you are talking about. It's nonsense. Is this the limit of your skills?"
Chu Qing smiled dumbly:
"Don't worry, I still have a little trick, please appreciate it."
He put the Qingye Sword into its scabbard, then took out a knife from the knife bag at his waist - a flying knife!
"A throwing knife?"
Chu Yan looked at the knife in Chu Qing's hand and felt an inexplicable sense of humor:
"What can a flying knife do to me?"
Not only him, even Wu Ganqi, Chu Yunfei and others were puzzled.
This is just the most common willow leaf throwing knife.
There are at least eight hundred people in the martial arts world who use flying knives as weapons. They can be used to harass the enemy and launch sneak attacks, but they are absolutely meaningless in this battle.
Only Wu Qianhuan had witnessed the power of Chu Qing's sword.
Wu Qingshan's mainstay seemed to be useless in front of this tiny flying knife.
The speed of this knife... is even faster than that sword!
No, maybe it's not just about speed.
But Wu Qianhuan couldn't tell what it was.
Chu Qing brought the flying knife to his cheek. The knife was soaked by the rain and there were some water droplets left on it.
He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yan:
"It could kill you."
At this moment, a huge sense of danger suddenly enveloped Chu Yanzhou.
Every drop of blood in his body seemed to be urging him to escape...
The figure flickered, and Chu Yan's figure was already more than ten feet away.
But the dangerous feeling was like a cancer in the bone, not only did it not disappear, but it became more and more serious.
Then Chu Qing... waved his hand and drew his knife!
hum! !
A star shines, and a faint light flickers.
Deep in Chu Yan's heart, however, a warning bell was ringing! !
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his figure disappeared again, disappeared, and disappeared.
Blood spread outside his body, flowing like blood dragons.
They were entangled and intertwined, blocking his way.
The void seemed silent, and the falling raindrops seemed to be frozen in mid-air at this moment.
The sea of silence for ten thousand nights breaks through thousands of waves!
In this short moment of thought, he used up all he had learned in his life.
I built a wall with what I have learned!
Outside that wall...he saw a knife.
A flying knife with a faint purple glow!
Chu Yan could even see that the knife was not delicate at all, and could even be said to be rough.
The craftsman who forged it obviously had no intention of forging it into some peerless sword.
After all...it's just a willow leaf throwing knife.
The edge of the blade was stained with blood that had not been completely cleaned up, giving it a faint red hue.
It seemed that before this, it had taken a person's life.
Just a knife...why do I feel fear?
Before he even had time to form such a thought, he found that the knife suddenly disappeared from his sight.
not good!
A vague thought made Chu Yan ignore everything else and forcibly use the Blood Shadow Illusion!
By the time he landed, there was no trace of the knife in sight.
"Where have you gone?"
As doubts arose in my mind, I heard a 'ding' sound behind me.
Behind yourself?
Chu Yan turned around subconsciously, and sure enough, he saw the knife.
The knife hit a stone pillar and missed!
The blade was still humming and vibrating.
I don't know when the rain, which had become sparse, fell on the knife, merged into the deeper red blood, and finally flowed to the ground.
The relief of escaping death suddenly turned into doubt.
The knife didn't hit me, so why is there blood?
He wanted to ask, but when he opened his mouth, he found that the only sound he could make was "ho ho".
Only then did I discover that there was a hole in my throat that went through my entire neck.
The smile on Chu Yan's face suddenly stopped.
His eyes were fixed on the knife, but the blood in his body seemed to be gushing out like a floodgate opened, gushing out madly from the hole in his throat!
Almost in an instant, his face became haggard and his body shrank, as if the last drop of blood in his body had been drained.
