Chapter 218: Sly Person
Chapter 218: Sly Person
From what happened tonight, it can be seen that the relationship between Shen Juke and Ye Feifan is very special.
It would be a shame to speculate that the reason why Shen Juke accepted Ye Feifan as his apprentice was because he hoped that Ye Feifan could give false testimony for him.
The relationship between these two people is based on a dirty foundation.
There is a part of trust in this, but there is also a part of mutual vigilance.
And considering that Ye Feifan could live in the Shen family for ten years, the former may even be better than the latter.
In other words, Ye Feifan may be in control of something that can affect Shen Juke.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to enjoy these ten years of peace.
It is hard to say that this complicated situation can be resolved by Chu Qing's coercion or inducement.
Once Ye Feifan knew that Chu Qing came because of the extermination of the Tang family ten years ago, he would definitely know that Chu Qing would not kill him easily, and he would have room to manipulate the situation.
Furthermore, once Chu Qing showed up, with Ye Feifan's cunningness, he could even guess that the person who really wanted to find him tonight was definitely not Shen Juke.
But it was Trina!
Then his escape would seem unnecessary.
To some extent, he could go back and be Shen Juke's third disciple.
Although Chu Qing could also use some means to force him to tell the truth...but doing so would not only carry the risk of failure, but also the suspicion of forced confession. It was hard to say whether the information obtained was true or false.
Therefore, I want this person to cooperate and be obedient.
At least he must be thrown into an 'abyss', an abyss where he will die if he does not cooperate.
And Shen Juke's second disciple and the swordsmen who were traveling with him could serve as the ones who pushed Ye Feifan into the abyss.
The current fight between these people will also become a key step in pushing Ye Feifan into the 'abyss'.
At this time, the second senior brother was sitting high on his horse, looking down at the battle circle.
It is difficult to evaluate Ye Feifan's swordsmanship. It is not that it is bad, but that it is too peaceful.
What he was really good at was not the [Heaven and Earth Shocking Sword] that he had learned secretly, but a sword technique that was pieced together from various sources.
Most of these sword techniques can be learned in martial arts schools, such as [Three Talents Sword Technique], [Autumn Wind Sword Technique], [Shiyi Sword Technique] and so on.
Among them, [Three Talents Sword Technique] and [Shiyi Sword Technique] are both basic sword techniques.
The Three Talents are heaven, earth and man. In swordsmanship, there are basic sword moves of upper, middle and lower routes, as well as the initial practice of swordsmanship such as the Three Talents Sword Body.
This will help you stabilize yourself and lay a solid foundation for future practice.
The "Shiyi Sword Technique" can be used to pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps, make up for one's own shortcomings, and often reflect on oneself to gain something.
In a word, these two sword techniques are more about honing one's own moves than fighting methods.
The Autumn Wind Sword Technique is quite interesting though. The sword sweeps like the autumn wind, full of murderous aura.
But this sword technique has been everywhere for a long time... Ye Feifan has followed Shen Juke for ten years, and what he learned were these sword techniques that can be learned in a martial arts school by spending a little money. No wonder he said before that what he learned were some low-level and inferior sword techniques and martial arts.
But if that's all, it doesn't deserve Chu Qing's evaluation of "difficult to evaluate".
This person is obviously well versed in these sword techniques. He uses a hammer here and a stick there, but when they are connected together, there is an inexplicable feeling of flowing water.
He mixed the [Autumn Wind Sword Technique] into these two sets of sword techniques, pointing east and hitting west, with the sword tip fast and sharp. Even though he knew the flaws of the [Autumn Wind Sword Technique], when he really tried to attack, he would be blocked just right by the [Three Talents Sword Technique] and [Shiyi Sword Technique] and other sword techniques.
As a result, after a fight, this group of people not only failed to capture Ye Feifan as quickly as possible.
Instead, two of them were stabbed by Ye Feifan with his sword.
However, this situation is only temporary. Ye Feifan's internal strength is mediocre, and although his swordsmanship has its merits, he is no match for the opponent's superior numbers.
A tiny distraction caused him to be stabbed in the back.
Ye Feifan grimaced in pain, but still swung out his sword [Autumn Wind Falling]. The sword was fired with anger, and one could feel the murderous intent in Ye Feifan's sword, but the man behind him had already anticipated the enemy's move and dodged in advance.
But just as the sword was about to pass by, the man suddenly groaned, as if his legs had cramped, and stopped just before he was completely out of the sword's reach...
hum!
The sword blade passed across his head and face, and he let out a scream, and his entire face was almost cut in half.
He fell to the ground, covering his head and face with his hands in pain, and rolled on the ground.
Not only the besiegers were stunned, but Ye Feifan in the crowd was also surprised. They did not expect such a change.
And during this delay, two more swords arrived at the same time.
The two swords came from the left and right, each with an unusual and extremely tricky edge.
Ye Feifan raised his sword to block one of the swords, but the other sword left a bloody mark on his shoulder.
The sword swept past, and Ye Feifan couldn't help but turn around, then he stepped forward and shouted angrily, and the [Autumn Wind Sword Technique] turned into a move [Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves].
The sword is spinning, drawing a complete circle with itself as the origin.
Ye Feifan's original intention of using this move was to force all the people around him to retreat so that he could regroup.
However, he did not expect that after this sword strike, three figures covered their throats and fell to the ground.
“This is unreasonable!!!”
The second senior brother saw that although Ye Feifan himself was injured, four people on his side had been knocked down since he took action, and he was furious for a moment.
He didn't bring many people with him in total, including himself, exactly eight.
Previously, when Ye Feifan used the [Heaven and Earth Shocking Mist Sword] to break the formation, he killed one person. Now there are four lying down. Including himself, there are only three people left who can fight in the field.
Is it really possible for this unpresentable thing to kill all of his men and then fight him one-on-one?
Not only would it be difficult to explain the loss of these people to the master, it would also be too embarrassing.
So the second brother stepped forward and flew into the air.
There was a hissing sound, and the long sword behind him suddenly flew out and was caught in his palm.
The sword tip turned and went straight towards Ye Feifan from top to bottom.
This is the [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword]!
The sky and the earth are still unbroken, the storm is not over yet and the clouds are startling!
This sword technique is wonderful. When combined with the [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Art], it is like clouds rolling back, light from the sky pouring down, and sword energy flowing down continuously, making it difficult to resist.
Ye Feifan's face changed drastically. What he learned, [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword] was just a sword technique. He had not been taught [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Art], nor had he really learned the luck method of [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword]. Seeing that his second senior brother was coming at him aggressively, he held a long sword in his hand, but for a moment he didn't know how to resist this unique skill.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came:
"Take a step to the left, point the sword at the Cloud Gate, and use attack as defense!"
The voice came suddenly. Ye Feifan had closed his eyes and was waiting to die. But after hearing this, he subconsciously took a step to the left and pointed his sword at his second brother.
By the time the action was completed, it was too late for Ye Feifan to regret.
The Tiandi Jinglan Sword did not allow him to think too much, and now that the sword had just risen, the sword energy of his second senior brother had already arrived.
But the strange thing was that the position where he was seemed to be exactly the flaw of the Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword, or in other words, it was the flaw of the Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword used by his second senior brother.
As a result, the sword energy around him fell to the ground, leaving sword marks everywhere, but he himself was intact.
Immediately afterwards, a hissing sound was heard.
The sword energy dissipated, and two figures stood there.
One was Ye Feifan, and the other was the second senior brother. However, the second senior brother's sword missed the target, and the powerful [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword] did not hurt Ye Feifan at all.
However, Ye Feifan's sword staggered with the second brother's sword. Although it did not really pierce the Yunmen acupoint, it penetrated the second brother's left chest. The blade pierced through the body, and blood was still flowing down the tip of the sword. It was obvious that he was dead.
"Second Brother is dead!"
"Ye Feifan killed our second senior brother. Let's go and report this to our mentor!!"
The remaining two disciples of Shen Juke looked at each other, then suddenly jumped on their horses and turned around to leave.
Ye Feifan woke up as if from a dream. He quickly pulled the sword out of his second senior brother's body and was about to chase the two men.
But after just two steps, the injury started to flare up.
The sword wound in his back was the worst, blood was flowing, and his mind was blank.
Although he managed to avoid the hit on his shoulder, the injury was so severe that the bone was visible.
Even if he wanted to chase and kill him, he didn't have the strength.
He gritted his teeth for a moment...If he could kill all the people chasing him, he would still have a chance to escape tonight.
But now that two people have escaped, Shen Juke will definitely send more people.
I was already seriously injured. In this situation, if they come back again, I will definitely die.
But his body was not strong enough and he couldn't get up even if he wanted to. He could only watch them gradually disappear from his sight.
Finally, he punched the ground hard:
"hateful!!"
"Who are you talking about?"
A figure flashed by, and Ye Feifan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He thought of the person who had just spoken...
With only twelve words in one sentence, he not only broke the Tiandi Jinglan Sword, but also killed the second senior brother.
Such a master has never been seen, let alone heard of.
However, they didn't know that although Chu Qing saw through the flaw of the Second Senior Brother's [Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Sword], it was not so magical that he could let Ye Feifan kill the Second Senior Brother with just one sentence.
He was able to achieve success in one fell swoop because Chu Qing secretly helped him with the power of the Qingxu Palm.
This allowed him to strike with his sword and find the flaw at the perfect moment.
Ye Feifan didn’t know the reason behind this, he just felt that he had met an unparalleled master today.
Kneeling on the ground hurriedly:
"I am a rude junior and I have offended you, Senior. Please forgive me.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
"No need to thank me."
Chu Qing turned his back to him and waved his hand gently:
"I just happened to pass by here and saw them bullying the minority and I couldn't stand it.
"But from what you said, it seems like you are from the same school? Hmm, Heaven and Earth Shocking Mist Sword... If I remember correctly, isn't this Shen Juke's famous skill?
"You are his disciple? Did you just kill your second senior brother?
"Did I save the wrong person?"
"No!!"
Ye Feifan quickly said:
"This matter... This matter is a long story, please listen to me..."
"say what?"
Chu Qing sneered:
"The hero Shen Juke is well-known for his chivalry. You killed your own second brother, which is a strife among your own family. What I did tonight seems to be inappropriate. Let's go. I will take you to find Shen Juke and make things clear."
"No!!"
Ye Feifan quickly said:
"Senior, you may not know that although my mentor Shen Juke is known as the Great Hero Jinglan, he is actually... a double-faced person and is definitely not a good person."
"That's unreasonable!"
Chu Qing was immediately furious. He swung his sleeves and used his internal force to send Ye Feifan flying.
He was measured in his attack, making Ye Feifan feel that Chu Qing's inner strength was unfathomable and that he could kill him with just a wave of his hand. However, he did not really kill him, so after Ye Feifan rolled on the ground for a few times, he got up again and knelt down to trudge towards Chu Qing:
"Every word I said is true. Please bear with me, Senior!"
"How ridiculous! You really can't believe this!"
Chu Qing sneered:
"Your mentor taught you martial arts and swordsmanship, but you secretly say that your mentor is two-faced?
"Where did you get this from? What guilt did he have? Why don't I know about it?"
"If you knew, how could he continue to be the hero Jing Lan?"
Ye Feifan took a deep breath. He knew that the situation tonight had reached a dead end.
Shen Juke was simply not someone he could fight against. If he was determined to run, he might have a chance to escape.
But now, he had killed someone... and the person he killed was his second senior brother.
From a moral and logical point of view, Shen Juke had reasons to take his own life personally.
If this person makes a move, there is no chance of survival.
And this 'senior' who passed by became his only hope for survival.
He immediately opened his mouth and said:
"Senior, you may not know that ten years ago, in order to get the Chen family's new bride, Liu Sanniang, Shen Juke killed all 67 members of the Chen family and wiped out the entire Chen family!"
"Bullshit, bullshit!!"
Chu Qing sneered repeatedly:
"No one would believe this nonsense! Hero Jinglan is so kind and righteous, how could he kill people for such a thing?
"Besides, do you think the people of Liehuotang are just there to eat and do nothing?
"Such a big thing happened, and they didn't investigate it?"
"Of course I have investigated..."
Ye Feifan gritted his teeth and said:
"However, Shen Juke bribed the witnesses and made them give false testimony.
“Although the Fiery Hall had some doubts about Shen Juke, his reputation was so good that it was hard to believe that he would do such a cruel thing.
"Add to that the testimony of the witnesses, and it will eventually come to nothing..."
"Oh?"
Chu Qing's tone changed slightly, which made Ye Feifan feel that there was a way.
Then Chu Qing asked again:
"But how do you know about this? Could it be related to you?"
Ye Feifan suddenly burst into tears:
“Senior, you may not know that I was a servant of the Chen family back then. Shen Juke threatened my life and asked me to bear false witness for him.
"I didn't want to do something that goes against my conscience and become a traitor, but... I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. Even if I want to tell the truth, no one will believe me.
"For the past ten years, I have been his disciple, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, hoping that one day, I can avenge my old master!"
