Chapter 517 Just you?

Zhang Pingsheng was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the boy lying on the ground.

The boy had a complex expression, some praying, some not believing.

It was obviously the first time that the boy knew that his timid and cowardly father had actually done such a thing.

But at the same time, his face was full of pleading, begging Zhang Pingsheng not to kill his father.

and.

What is the difference with this person?

Zhang Pingsheng was stunned when he looked at the boy, because he remembered himself back then and wondered if he had the same expression.

Because I couldn't believe that this man would kill my master and others.

I also wanted to ask him not to kill me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Pingsheng clenched the sword in his hand, turned his head to look at Bai Xiao, and pointed the tip of the sword at Bai Xiao again: "So, what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Pingsheng stabbed the sword in his hand directly at Bai Xiao!

"As long as I kill you, I don't care what happens to me!!"

but.

Bai Xiao closed his eyes and whispered: "If I become like this, your master and his family will be sad."

But just as he was speaking, he seemed to have suddenly gained strength. He raised his hand and grabbed the long sword. And with just a little force, the dagger slipped directly out of Zhang Pingsheng's hand.

Afterwards, Bai Xiao let go of the dagger, but he leaned forward and stood up, grabbing the hilt of the sword.

Swish!!

Just at the moment when Bai Xiao grabbed the hilt of the sword!

The man was filled with sword energy.

The oppressive feeling of the ninth-rank swordsman's sword intent instantly made everyone present feel a sudden tremor in their hearts.

Looking at the White Owl again, he was standing there like a giant with the power of life and death!

Ninth-grade existence!

In their world, it's out of reach!

Moreover, just by feeling the sword's power, many escorts' legs started to weaken.

Even now, there is no trace of the hunched, cowardly and submissive look he had in recent days.

Everyone looked at Bai Xiao in shock and disbelief.

But only Shi Weidao, although also surprised, knew very well who Bai Xiao was, and immediately clenched the knife in his hand!

Zhang Pingsheng's first-grade strength versus the ninth-grade Bai Xiao

After all, there is a huge difference in strength!

Moreover, ordinary poisons can be easily neutralized by masters above level eight with their internal energy.

But Zhang Pingsheng, who had never come into contact with a master above the eighth rank, did not know this.

So at the moment, he was just surprised to see Bai Xiao, who was obviously poisoned but was completely fine.

It's as if nothing matters anymore.

Because I am already standing in front of this man.

Just like that night more than ten years ago, the man was just like he was then, holding a sword and looking at him coldly.

At that time, I was so scared that my legs went weak and I didn't dare to move.

But now.

It's different!

"You, don't have the face to mention them!!" Even though he had no sword, Zhang Pingsheng clenched his fists and punched Bai Xiao.

Zhang Pingsheng knew that he was weak.

Zhang Pingsheng knew better than anyone that he had no talent for martial arts!

So what if it’s the first grade? So what if it’s the ninth grade!

It didn't stop him from wanting to kill the man in front of him! !

Bai Xiao stood there, motionless: "I never apologize to anyone, because after killing the first person, I became unforgivable, and I know that apologies are useless. And the biggest sin should be that you, Lingfeng Sect, saved me, and I destroyed you. As for the reason for killing you, I don't want to explain to you. But that night, your master, brothers and sisters sacrificed their lives for you, so I didn't kill you. You shouldn't have come. All this time I thought you wouldn't do it. But, I'm sorry, there are reasons why I can't die."

When he said this, although Bai Xiao didn't look, his wife and children were right next to him.

Bai Xiao gently raised the short sword in his hand, "Besides, you shouldn't hold a sword. Your master and the others don't want you to hold a sword."

"Fuck you!" Zhang Pingsheng listened to Bai Xiao's words, roared, and punched Bai Xiao hard in the face.

but.

There was no movement.

Bai Xiao just stood there, looking at Zhang Pingsheng coldly.

The gap in strength is too big!

And Zhang Pingsheng's second punch was thrown again.

Even when he saw the sword in Bai Xiao's hand slashing towards him, he didn't care at all!

Even before I took action, I was very nervous along the way, but now that I have reached this point, I don’t care about anything anymore.

After all, I was prepared to die.

From thirteen years ago to now, I have been prepared to die every day, so I always keep my master, brothers and sisters with me.

The Lingfeng Sect was not destroyed.

Everybody is here all the time!

Zhang Pingsheng had a ferocious look on his face and attacked Bai Xiao with all his strength!

The dagger in Bai Xiao's hand had already fallen towards Zhang Pingsheng's shoulder.

Clang!!

The sound of blades colliding was heard!

Everyone was stunned when they saw Miss Yan who suddenly appeared there.

Not only did Yan Ruyu block Bai Xiao's sword with the "Xian Si" in her hand, she also pushed Zhang Pingsheng away.

It really saved Zhang Pingsheng’s life!

After Xian Siliang swung the silver blade, Yan Ruyu looked at Bai Xiao coldly, "You've already killed someone, so don't pretend to be bitter and vengeful. It will make you look disgusting if you pretend that you had no choice. This is the underworld."

When Bai Xiao heard this, he looked down at Yan Ruyu and laughed: "Yes, this is the Jianghu."

As he spoke, a silver-grey mist lingered on the dagger in Bai Xiao's hand, and the mist slowly extended towards Yan Ruyu's thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and immediately retreated, but only for a moment!

Bang!

Yan Ruyu rushed towards Bai Xiao again. An arc of light flashed by, and it was the green sword intent wrapped around the string in her hand, and she chopped directly towards Bai Xiao.

Yan Ruyu had a lot of things to say to Bai Xiao.

But she was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, so she simply kept silent.

But there is one thing she is very clear about: someone who is ungrateful once will definitely be ungrateful again!

A bad person is a bad person, even if there are various reasons, evil is evil, and killing someone is killing someone!

For evil people like them, language is nothing more than a means of deception.

This method of deceiving oneself makes one feel no guilt for killing others!

Swish!

The [Xiansi] in Yan Ruyu's hand was getting faster and faster, and the knife light was flickering!

Even though Bai Xiao is a ninth-rank swordsman, he can no longer remain calm when facing Yan Ruyu. Although the dagger in Bai Xiao's hand is an ordinary dagger, it is surrounded by gray mist, so he can still fight against Xian Si!

Clang!!

A crisp sound.

The knife in Yan Ruyu's hand and the sword in Bai Xiao's hand collided again.

The collision between the knife intent and the sword intent formed an invisible air wave that rushed in all directions!

But just the next moment, the sword separated again!

Both of them are powerful and extremely fast!

There were flashes of swords and the sound of weapons clashing.

Neither of them spoke, but the sharpness of their swords, and the overwhelming sword and knife intent, made it clear to everyone around them.

A battle of life and death!

Swish!

Bai Xiao hasn't touched a sword for many years, and now he seems to have slowly regained his feeling, and his speed is getting faster and faster!

His movements became more and more agile, reaching an unreasonable level, and the people present could not even describe it with the naked eye.

But even more incredible

Everyone looked at Miss Yan. When facing the ninth-rank swordsman, she was able to handle it with ease and was not at all at a disadvantage!

At that moment, everyone understood why she was able to kill three sixth-rank warriors in an instant.

While Shi Weidao was surprised, he had already found other powerful escorts, secretly instructed them, and then looked at Bai Xiao with a vigilant look.

After hiding for so many years, if he were to be exposed, he would definitely be hunted down by those gangsters again.

After all, Bai Xiao killed too many people back then!

Now that their identities have been exposed, can the people here survive?

This is the world of martial arts!

Although Shi Weidao had already guessed the grudge between Young Master Zhang and Bai Xiao, if Bai Xiao didn't die at that moment, they would be dead!

Zhang Pingsheng sat on the ground, looking at the battle in front of him that he dared not even imagine, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, with a look of unwillingness on his face!

It was right in front of us, they had clearly poisoned him, and they had succeeded!

Why do you hesitate?

Why didn't you just do it?

and

Why save yourself?

While Zhang Pingsheng was thinking this, he picked up a stone on the ground and looked at the two people fighting in front of him.

He still wanted to go up. He didn't want to be scared like he was thirteen years ago!

He's going to kill that man!

Even though I know I can't do it, I still...

Sudden

Zhang Pingsheng looked at the child over there and the place where he collapsed on the ground.

That's the person he loves the most. I can't kill him, but can I kill both of them?

Thinking like this

Zhang Pingsheng stared at the child.

And the child, at this moment, had a more shocked look on his face than anything else, he just stared at the man holding the sword.

This person.

The person in front of me

Who is it?

Really, my dad?

"Sheng'er!" At this time, the woman suddenly shouted.

The child was stunned for a moment and turned around, then saw Zhang Pingsheng standing beside him holding a stone.

The child blinked: "Huh?"

Bai Xiao naturally heard the woman's scream. He only took a glance and saw Zhang Pingsheng standing next to his child with a stone in his hand.

But that’s just a gap.

Swish!!

Yan Ruyu's knife also slashed from bottom to top!

A bloody wound appeared on Bai Xiao's body, and blood splattered everywhere!

Bai Xiao also retreated immediately, but he did not care about his injuries. He looked at Zhang Pingsheng and planned to rush forward.

But when it was time to leave.

Yan Ruyu has appeared in front of Bai Xiao.

"Get out of the way!" Bai Xiao looked at Zhang Pingsheng and became completely anxious. He roared loudly and sword intent burst out from his body.

Yan Ruyu just glanced at Zhang Pingsheng who had not yet taken action, and the sword intent around him burst out instantly, completely blocking Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao became more and more anxious, roaring and swung his sword at Yan Ruyu again.

This sword is extremely powerful. The gray mist wrapped around the sword body seems to condense into a solid entity and transform into a big sword, which slashes towards Yan Ruyu!

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then she chopped down with the knife in her hand!

Clang!!

The raging waves surged in all directions!

Attack everyone around!

He also attacked Zhang Pingsheng.

Under the huge air wave, the wooden signs on Zhang Pingsheng's waist made a sound by clashing against each other.

Zhang Pingsheng couldn't help but look down at the badge on his waist.

Looking at the wooden sign that represented everyone in the sect.

"Junior brother, you will tremble even when you kill a chicken. Why don't you learn medical skills from uncle? Anyway, you have the brothers and sisters here, and we will protect you!"

"Junior brother, your sword moves can hurt me. You should stop using the sword and study medicine instead. Uncle Master said you have a talent for medicine."

"Silly Junior Brother, why are you hiding and crying? Don't mind what others say. It's not that you can't do those things, but you are too kind. Senior Sister likes your kindness the most, so just stay like this in the future. We are here for you."

"Say less, one by one. It's best if my junior brother doesn't have blood on his hands. Be a good person in the future, just like my uncle!"

"Pingsheng, it's okay. Master is very pleased to see you like this. And although our Lingfeng Sect is a small sect, it is also a righteous sect. It is not lawful for us to kill people casually."

Zhang Pingsheng thought of these words for no reason. These were the words he had been repeating every day for the past thirteen years, and he was the only one pretending that everyone was there.

Killing a helpless child

Zhang Pingsheng clenched the stone in his hand, but tears appeared on his face for no reason. He looked at the terrified child in front of him.

I really can't do it

Master, uncle, brother

Senior sister.

I'm sorry, I really killed such a child!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You have a cowardly junior like me.

As he thought of this, more tears welled up on Zhang Pingsheng's face.

But the hand holding the stone was getting tighter and tighter.

You can't kill a child like this.

but!

But if that person says so, I can do it!

Zhang Pingsheng bit his lips, his eyes were red, and he looked at Bai Xiao with a ferocious look!

Bang!

Zhang Pingsheng stepped suddenly and rushed directly towards Bai Xiao!

Bai Xiao and Yan Ruyu collided with their swords.

But his eyes were always on Zhang Pingsheng.

When Bai Xiao saw Zhang Pingsheng rushing towards him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

Yan Ruyu suddenly swung the [Xiansi] in her hand!

And then Yan Ruyu turned her body to the side and dodged Bai Xiao's sword.

As the [Xiansi] spun around Bai Xiao, it was about to return to Yan Ruyu's hands.

Bai Xiao was stunned as he watched the knife fall in front of him.

He immediately understood what it meant, but when he was about to draw his sword to block it, it was too late!

Swallow is back!

Swish!

Without any hesitation!

The moment Yan Ruyu grabbed the knife in her hand, she slashed it down!

Blood splattered from the white owl again.

And this time.

Also attached was Bai Xiao's entire right arm holding the sword.

Bai Xiao looked at his arm in surprise: "Puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the white owl's mouth.

Everyone looked at this scene and gasped.

Bang!!

Bang!!

The first sound was the arm falling to the ground.

The second sound

It was the sound of Zhang Pingsheng hitting Bai Xiao in the face with a stone.

And then Zhang Pingsheng took advantage of the situation to push Bai Xiao over, and then started smashing Bai Xiao's face with a stone!

Bai Xiao looked at Zhang Pingsheng's face full of anger, feeling the pain on his face again and again. No sound came out of his mouth. He just looked at Zhang Pingsheng whose hands were stained with his own blood, and then turned his head to look at his wife and son.

When did you start practicing swordplay?

White Owl had forgotten.

It seems that I started learning it from an old man in the mountains when I was a child.

At that time, he thought that after practicing sword skills, he could become a big man.

But when he grew up, he killed a village bully who bullied the girl he liked, and he ran away because he was afraid.

When he turned around, he saw the girl running away with him.

He took her to a faraway place, hoping to live a peaceful life.

But we were too poor to buy land or anything else.

At that time, he heard some gangsters talking about making money by killing people. It was a lot of money, enough for him to buy his beloved girl some nice clothes, some meat to eat, and even a piece of land, and then the two of them would live like this for the rest of their lives.

So he took the job.

I thought it would be difficult, after all, it was killing someone, but when I got to that point, I just struck with my sword and nothing happened, just like killing that bully, it was very simple.

Get the money and everything will go as you wish.

But it's still not enough.

He saw the girl he loved saving money to make him a winter coat, because when winter came, he still only had one layer of clothes.

He knew that this couldn't be done, and it shouldn't be done. He wanted his beloved girl to live a good life, not save money, but spend money, eat whatever she wanted, buy whatever she wanted.

so.

He went to find those people and started taking killing jobs.

And his sword became more and more powerful.

Similarly, their lives were getting better and better. He was very happy to see his beloved girl gain weight and dress better.

But he killed more and more people.

He has become numb.

Sometimes the mission is to kill an entire family, even if the victim is a child, he can do it directly.

He knew that there was no turning back for him because he was beyond redemption. No matter what he did, no one would forgive him and he would definitely go to hell after his death.

but.

It doesn’t matter what happens because it allows your loved ones to live a good life.

His fame grew and his enemies increased.

But no one knew who he was.

Until he was betrayed, many people began to besiege him.

He was seriously injured.

He knew he couldn't die because his wife was pregnant. He hadn't seen his child yet, and if he died, there would be no one to take care of his wife.

So he fled for his life and escaped into the mountains.

When he woke up again, he found that he had been rescued.

In the blur, he heard the other party know his identity and asked whether he should tell those who were chasing him, although they did not do so.

But Bai Xiao took note of this incident.

so.

He has been hiding in this place called 'Lingfeng Gate'.

Here, he met a child who looked very much like himself when he was a child, a child who couldn't bear to watch even a chicken being killed. But unlike himself, this child was very kind. He was also a member of the sect rescued by this child, but that child had no talent for martial arts.

Moreover, unlike myself, that child is surrounded by good people, many of whom love and cherish him.

After a few months, he felt that it was about time and he had to leave because his wife was pregnant and the baby was about to be born, so he had to leave.

but.

These people know who they are.

So before leaving, for the sake of his wife and his children, he had to kill everyone.

Only a corpse will not leak secrets.

Then, he saw that everyone was trying to protect the child, no one was letting the child escape, and some were begging him to let the child go.

He killed everyone except the child. He didn't know why. Maybe it was because the child looked just like him, helpless as he was back then.

Before leaving, he told some people in the town about the Lingfeng Sect and asked them to help collect the bodies.

Then I went home.

Because every time he went on a mission, he would place his wife and children in a safe place in case he couldn't return, so everything was fine at home.

And he also saw his child. Just by looking at him, he knew that he had to live, he had to live for this child.

But that's not enough.

He had to remain anonymous.

So, he took his wife and children to other places, pretending to be an honest and cowardly farmer, intending to raise his children in peace and stability.

The child is completely different from when he was a child and is very prone to causing trouble.

Especially this time, he offended someone involved in the underworld.

You have to go because you will be recognized.

But

He saw him, the child from Lingfeng Sect.

And he immediately realized that the other party recognized him, and that look was very familiar to him, it was a look that wanted to kill him.

And he noticed that the child was following him.

He thought about letting the kid kill him.

But looking at his wife and children, he knew that he could not die yet, absolutely not.

but.

I'm going to die eventually, can I finally let it go?

These things have been weighing on me all along.

Bai Xiao looked at the skeleton-like existences on his body. There were too many of them and he had no idea how many there were. But these things had always been on his body.

"father!!"

Bai Xiao heard the voice, but his vision was completely blurred, or rather, it was pitch black.

So this is how it felt. When I killed those people, the children were right beside them. This is how the fathers felt.

The stone in Zhang Pingsheng's hand had completely turned into a bloody stone, and Bai Xiao's face was completely bloody and motionless, completely turning into a corpse.

But even so

With his eyes red and his face full of resentment, Zhang Pingsheng continued to smash!

Absolutely non-stop!

The woman and the child on the side tried their best to move themselves, even trying to stop Zhang Pingsheng, but in the end they were poisoned by a paralyzing poison, so no matter how hard they tried, it was completely useless and they could only watch Zhang Pingsheng.

No one tried to stop Zhang Pingsheng.

Whether it was Yan Ruyu or Shi Weidao, they just looked at him.

finally

The stone in Zhang Pingsheng's hand fell to the side, and one could clearly see that his hand was rubbed by the stone.

But Zhang Pingsheng, who was lying on the side, had only tears on his face, without any sense of satisfaction after revenge.

Master, uncle, brothers and sisters

sorry.

sorry!

I didn't listen to you and ended up killing someone. I'm sorry!

Zhang Pingsheng looked in front of him and saw his senior sister squatting down and gently stroking his face, still so gentle.

He saw his senior brother looking at him with a frown.

I saw Fifth Senior Sister touching her hand with a worried look on her face.

I saw my master and uncle looking at me, sighing and shaking their heads.

He saw the other brothers looking at him.

Everyone is

All around me.

The senior sister sat beside him and spoke softly, "Pingsheng, I'm sorry for making you so tired. I'm the one who's sorry for you."

Zhang Pingsheng raised his hand hard, wanting to wipe away the tears on his senior sister's face.

But the senior sister started laughing while crying, "These years must have been very hard. I'm really sorry."

Zhang Pingsheng shed more tears, and then

He should have cried when he woke up after his family was wiped out thirteen years ago, but he has not cried in these thirteen years.

With a "wow" sound, she burst into tears.

Everyone looked at Zhang Pingsheng. No one spoke. They just watched quietly.

Look at him.

Looking at the mother and son who were also crying.

This is the world of Jianghu.

Many things don't make sense.

Yan Ruyu looked at Zhang Pingsheng without saying a word, but just coughed lightly a few times and coughed up blood.

After all, he was facing a ninth-rank swordsman.

and

If the opponent had not been injured and if Yan Ruyu had not learned Yan Hui's sword move, Yan Ruyu would not have cared whether he could defeat the opponent.

only

While wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Yan Ruyu looked at Zhang Pingsheng and thought of herself back then.

"Eat these now!"

I don't know when Maomao ran over, holding a bunch of medicine packets in his hands. He looked at Yan Ruyu, as if he was going to stuff them into your mouth if you didn't eat them.

Yan Ruyu coughed a few times again and looked at Mao Mao with a smile, who looked nervous.

"It's okay." After rubbing the cat's head, Yan Ruyu remembered something and looked at the cat and asked, "Actually, I wanted to say something just now, but I couldn't think of what to say. If the lady was here, what would she say?"

Maomao was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Surely they will say that Xiaoyuer has grown up or something like that? I don't have a disease, so I don't know!"

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Many people really couldn't understand what the queen said.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu watched the medicine bag that Maomao opened and handed to her, and simply took it.

Maomao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Ruyu taking the medicine. Then he looked down at Zhang Pingsheng, squatted beside Zhang Pingsheng, picked up a small wooden stick, and without poking Zhang Pingsheng, just squatted and watched, as if waiting for Zhang Pingsheng to finish crying.

After Yan Ruyu took a breath, she looked at Maomao helplessly, because Maomao was obviously waiting for Zhang Pingsheng to finish crying so that she could help him with his treatment and get the poison at the same time.

Think of this

Yan Ruyu looked at the mother and son hugging each other over there.

And the child also looked at her.

I just helped Zhang Pingsheng kill her husband, her father

No.

I did nothing wrong.

That person deserves to die.

If he hadn't died, more people would have died.

and

I will never make the same mistakes I made as a kid again!

No mercy to those who deserve to die!

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu clenched her fists and remembered the only wound on her mother's body.

Although I don’t know what Zhang Pingsheng experienced in his childhood.

Can.

Maybe you made the same mistake as me.

"Um?"

At this time, Yan Ruyu's expression was stunned. She turned her head to look at where the wind and sand were, and her hand once again gripped Xian Si's knife handle!

In addition to Yan Ruyu, Shi Weidao and others also saw the group of people walking out of the wind and sand.

Leading the group were a man and a woman. The woman had a white mask on her face and wore a stone-blue dress, a red brocade wrap and a jade belt. She had a seductive, swaying figure.

The man was muscular and wore pink trousers with only a vest on his upper body.

Behind them, there were people dressed exactly like the bandits from Sand Wolf Village.

And these people also appeared around the camp. At a glance, there were one or two times more of them than before.

Seeing so many people, all the escorts clenched their weapons and swallowed their saliva.

Wave after wave, that's what it means.

The woman smiled sweetly, "It really gave me and my friends a good show, that's why the martial arts world is so interesting. But..."

As she said that, the woman looked at where Yan Ruyu was and said, "It's really amazing, but you've consumed so much internal energy that it's all gone. Even if you're at the ninth level, you're definitely not a match for my husband and I. Otherwise, call me sister and I'll take good care of you and not kill you. Don't worry, my husband and I have both reached the eighth level, so you won't be at a disadvantage. And I, your sister, am very powerful."

I heard the words "eighth rank".

Everyone's expression was suddenly stunned.

Shi Weidao was even more stunned. The pair of [Pink King Kong] from Sand Wolf Village had reached the eighth rank!? No wonder they were becoming more and more rampant!

Immediately, Shi Weidao looked at Yan Ruyu and whispered: "Miss Yan, you..."

Yan Ruyu looked at the two men, and put his hand on the hilt of the knife: "Master, just kill the enemy and protect people, I will take care of the two of them. The family name I carry determines that no matter what I become, I can only draw my sword!"

Swish!

As soon as the words fell!

Yan Ruyu, draw your sword!

“You’re already injured like this, yet you still want to resist.” The charming woman smiled sweetly, with two more scimitars in her hands: “If you weren’t injured, I would run away when I saw you, but now just play with me!”

Clang!!

Yan Ruyu's thoughts collided with the two scimitars in the hands of the enchanting woman.

But just when they bumped into each other, the charming woman's expression changed slightly.

Yan Ruyu looked at the woman in front of her who had obviously only recently become an eighth-rank cultivator, and recalled a sentence her mother always mentioned, so she asked, "You?"

…

PS: It's a long chapter, so it's late. The second update depends on the situation, there is a high probability. I have to finish writing Ruyu's Growth Story today. I am so tired of writing this chapter. I have been writing and deleting.

(End of this chapter)
