Chapter 20 Dead
With a "boom" sound, Cheng Qian slapped the tall tree next to him with his palm.
The tree fell to the ground with a sound, and the crown of the tree hit Ah Yue straight away.
Ah Yue hurriedly dodged, but it was too late, and her left leg was pressed under the tree. At that moment, Ah Yue clearly heard the "click" sound of broken bones.
A sharp pain came from the place where her calf was pressed by the big tree. Ah Yue's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from screaming. However, cold sweat soaked her back almost instantly.
"Run, why don't you run?" Cheng Qian stepped closer, his voice was sinister. The pierced eye was already bandaged, and there was still a little blood on the white cloth; the exposed eye
The thick black malice in one eye filled the entire eye, which was actually a bit darker than the invisible forest.
There was blood dripping from time to time on his right hand. I wonder if he was so angry that he didn't even bother to bandage it.
Ah Yue knew that being caught by this man would not end well, so she subconsciously held up her hands to move back, but was reminded by the pain that she could not move now.
"Bitch! You actually hurt me! Come and die!" Cheng Qian no longer concealed his anger. His uninjured left hand was filled with spiritual energy and he pressed A Yue's Tianling Cap without any reservation.
Ah Yue knew she couldn't escape, so she closed her eyes and accepted the ending written for her by fate.
The expected pain never came.
Ah Yue opened her eyes hesitantly and found a cyan figure blocking her face.
Who? Ah Yue looked at the man's back and realized that it was not someone she knew. Just as she was about to say thank you, the man turned around and glanced at her.
Before Ah Yue had time to pay attention to the other person's appearance, she was attracted by the scene happening in the space where the other person turned his body sideways.
Cheng Qian raised his hands to maintain an attacking posture. But at this moment, the spiritual energy in his palms had completely dissipated. The only remaining eye was wide open, and the expression on his face seemed to have encountered something unbelievable.
He is like a sculpture, motionless.
he died.
Ah Yue realized this, but didn't understand why. She forgot about the pain in her legs, stretched her neck to look, and finally found something strange in Cheng Qian's Dantian.
Something sharp came out of there.
Ah Yue opened her eyes wide to see clearly, but the next moment Cheng Qian fell down facing her.
Ah Yue almost screamed, but immediately swallowed the scream that was about to overflow her mouth when she saw the figure revealed after Cheng Qian's body fell.
Su Jianxing took back the long sword, picked up a leaf and wiped the blade clean, then put it away. She looked at Ah Yue, her eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a little smile on the corner of her mouth: "Are you stupid?"
Ah Yue was really about to jump in shock but was pulled by the pain in her legs and let out a hiss, saying in a low voice: "No, you are stupid."
Su Jianxing took a few steps closer.
Ah Yue raised her head to look at her, her eyes sore. It wasn't until she was very close to him that she suddenly realized that something seemed to be coming out of her eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
The back of the hand placed in front of her was soaked by the dripping liquid, and Ah Yue couldn't help but sniff.
There was a chuckle above her head, and Ah Yue was anxious and annoyed. Just when she was about to raise her head and say, "I'm not crying," a palm came down, pressed it on the top of her head, and rubbed it gently: "Little Ah Yue, you
awesome."
Ah Yue didn't raise her head, but her eyes lit up instantly.
"Here, take it." A hand was stretched out in front of Ah Yue, with a black pill in his palm.
Ah Yue said nothing, took the pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
The pill looked quite big, but it turned into a stream of fluid in her mouth and slid into her throat as she swallowed.
Not long after, she felt a lukewarm medicinal power starting from her Dantian and flowing into the meridians of her body. A sense of relief would be felt wherever the medicinal power traveled. The most obvious one was the injured leg, where the medicinal power was strongest, it seemed.
What are you repairing?
Is this the elixir that cultivators take?
Ah Yue was about to ask when she felt her hair being gently combed by a pair of hands. Just as she was about to raise her head, Su Jianxing pushed her back: "Don't move."
Su Jianxing combed Ah Yue's hair, tied it into a bun on her head, and inserted the peach wood hairpin back.
"alright."
Su Jianxing let go of his hand and looked at his finished product, looking very satisfied.
"Sister Xingxing——" Ah Yue fell into Su Jianxing's arms and started to cry.
Su Jianxing was a little helpless, but still patiently patted her back and coaxed: "Okay, okay, it's okay. You will practice hard in the future. When you become good, you won't be afraid of these anymore."
Ah Yue only focused on crying by herself, not knowing whether she heard it or not.
As if an invisible man, Taichen bandaged Ah Yue's leg, then went to look at Cheng Qian's body, and unexpectedly pulled out a photo bead from his sleeve.
Taichen: "..." I don't know what this person's hobby is.
If the image-retaining bead is not deliberately erased with spiritual power, the content inside can be viewed repeatedly. Taichen held the image-retaining bead and injected spiritual power into it, and quickly browsed through the content inside.
Handing the shadow bead to Su Jianxing, Taichen said: "What Cheng Qian did has violated the Immortal Alliance, and it is reasonable for you to kill him. The content of the shadow bead can confirm this. I have saved a copy of the content.
The content of Ah Yue’s mental training has been deleted.”
Su Jianxing took the photo bead and thanked him: "Thank you very much this time."
Taichen added: "But what Cheng Qian said about 'stealing skills'——"
Su Jianxing frowned: "That's not the Shengyuan Sect's technique."
"I know." Taichen's eyes were magnanimous, and he seemed to have never doubted Su Jianxing's character. He explained: "If the content of the photo beads is made public, I am afraid that some people with serious intentions will not be able to be guarded. It is better for Su Daoyou to be prepared to defend himself.
.”
Taichen's suggestion was very pertinent, and Su Jianxing readily accepted it. She was not a rookie who was just starting out, and since she dared to kill people, she was already prepared to face the consequences.
Almost at the moment Cheng Qian died, the soul-inducing bell in the Mingdeng Hall of Kaiyang Peak of Shengyuan Sect suddenly rang loudly, startling the originally drowsy guarding disciples and almost jumped up.
He rubbed his eyes and listened to the second voice, only to realize that the voice he just heard was not an hallucination in his dream. His expression was startled, and then the third voice came.
The soul-attracting bell is a magic weapon that is very sensitive to the soul. The slightest fluctuation of the soul body can cause the soul-attracting bell to ring.
Each cultivating sect will place a soul-attracting bell in the dharma hall where the disciples light the soul lanterns. It is connected to the soul lanterns in the dharma hall through the magic circle. If any of the soul lamps goes out, the soul-attracting bell will ring immediately.
After the three bells rang, the disciple finally realized what had happened, and he hurriedly looked around at the soul lanterns in the hall.
From top to bottom, hundreds of soul lanterns are lit in the entire Ming Lantern Hall. Most of the highest parts have been dimmed, and the further down you look, the brighter they become.
The disciple looked over one by one, and finally found Cheng Qian's dimmed soul lamp in the bright lights.
