Chapter 270: The Battle of "Standpoint" (Part 2)
"Master."
"Half an hour ago."
Capital city, Liu Mansion.
At the end of midnight, the courtyard was crowded with people, some standing and some kneeling. Hundreds of torches were burning, and the flames reflected on the backs of swords, on red armor, and on faces that were either cold or pale, dispelling the darkness but not the cold.
When Wang Er hurriedly ran into the main hall from outside and whispered a few words in Wei Xianzhi's ear, Liu Zhongchun had already guessed the outcome of his desperate fight.
"I see."
A huge stone fell from his heart. Wei Xianzhi looked up again after a while, with a complicated look in his eyes.
There was surprise, anger, relief, and a hint of compassion.
He spoke slowly, confirming Liu Zhongchun's guess.
"Master Liu, all your men are dead."
“.”
"well"
There were wrinkles on his forehead and eyes, a few gray spots on his temples, and even his back became slightly hunched at this moment.
Liu Zhongchun sighed lightly and nodded in self-mockery.
"Master Wei, I guessed it."
"Um."
Wei Xianzhi's expression remained unchanged and he slowly raised his right hand.
"Master Liu, then you should have guessed what happened to the Liu family."
"The Fate of the Liu Family"
Liu Zhongchun smiled bitterly, watching Wei Xianzhi's hand rising higher and higher, and then... "Plop!"
Like an old beggar begging on the street, or like a mountain collapsing.
Liu Zhongchun bent his knees little by little, and slowly knelt down at Wei Xianzhi's feet amid countless astonished gazes.
As the head of the Liu family, he is the Minister of Personnel wearing purple robes.
In his life, Liu Zhongchun had only kneeled to his parents, the ancestors of the Liu family, and Ning Yongnian.
And now he actually knelt before his former mortal enemy. This kneeling undoubtedly brought shame to the Liu family and also to his own dignity.
"Master! How could you do this!!"
"We will die if we want to! We are not afraid of death!!"
"The Liu family can't afford to lose this person!"
"master!!"
"You are confused!!!"
“.”
Wailing and shouting poured in from outside the door, but Liu Zhongchun was not moved at all. He just trembled with his forehead to the ground, crawled for a few breaths, and then slowly stood up.
"Master Wei, I know I will die, and I also know that according to the law, no one in the Liu family can survive."
"However, if these people really die, the Liu family will really be extinct."
"I don't ask you to bypass them, I just ask that the Liu family can leave a trace of incense."
Liu Zhongchun pointed with a trembling hand at a swaddling baby in a woman's arms, in which a baby was crying loudly at the top of its lungs.
"Master Wei, this child was born less than two months ago."
"He will never remember what happened today, and he will no longer be called Liu."
"Just let him live."
“.”
Hundreds of people from the Liu family were begging for a chance to live just for a baby.
This might be the only situation Liu Zhongchun could think of that Wei Xianzhi might agree to.
However, the right hand that was suspended in the air suddenly fell down, and hundreds of long swords behind him tore through the air simultaneously.
“clang!”
The uniform movements turned into uniform sounds.
Amid the long cries of swords filled with sadness, the specially made goose-feather knives of the Imperial Guards cut through skin, flesh, and bones, instantly chopping off the heads of hundreds of men, women, young and old.
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!!"
The baby's lonely cry echoed through the night sky, a heart-wrenching fear.
The swaddling clothes embroidered with the word "peace" fell from the woman's arms into a pool of blood. A guard held a knife and hovered over it, while looking up at Wei Xianzhi.
The human heart is always made of flesh.
Perhaps this guard has killed countless people, but when he faces such a weak and innocent life, he still feels sorry for it.
"Sir, this."
"Kill him."
Wei Xianzhi answered without any emotion, and at the same time drew his sword and looked at Liu Zhongchun who was crying at his feet.
"Lord Liu, cut off the roots."
"I'm sorry."
“.”
A cold light flashed across Liu Zhongchun's neck, and the guard behind him gritted his teeth and stabbed him with the goose-feather knife.
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
“.”
The loud crying stopped abruptly, and there was no sound in the huge Liu Mansion from then on. Only the sound of burning torches could be heard.
On the third day of April in the fifteenth year of Tianji, in early summer, the direct line of the Daning Liu family was wiped out in the capital.
Looking into the blue sky, tiny stars fall in the Milky Way.
If they had known this day would come, neither Liu Yuanshan nor Liu Zhongchun would have ever provoked the Wei family.
It’s a pity that there is no such thing as “I should have known it earlier” in this world.
Just like Yunlian at this moment.
The rainstorm was like a curtain, and countless long water-colored lines stretched from the sky to the earth.
“Swish!!”
“Swish!!”
When two palm prints, one gold and one white, containing infinite power, shot towards her, Yun Lian knew that she had no chance of survival.
In this brief moment, she had no time to resist or say anything.
She didn't even know why the two strangers in front of her wanted to kill her.
She didn't know whether the thunder that she had caused at the cost of her life had killed the murderer of her husband.
Yes.
Even if Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu did not take action, Yunlian would die when the heavy rain stopped.
If he knew about this, Wei Changtian might greatly regret wasting 500 system points.
But now he probably won't have the chance to be "regretful" anymore. "Bang!!"
"Bang!!!"
With two loud bangs, one after the other, two palm prints pierced Yunlian's chest fiercely. The splattered blood was like surging waves, and disappeared in the pouring rain in an instant.
【bite!】
[Detected that the host killed the Son of Heaven "Yunlian"]
[The host has plundered all of his luck, and is awarded 1500 system points]
[It is detected that the host has no connection with the "Heavenly Dao" of this world and cannot enjoy the luck bonus. The luck of "Yingyu" is now distributed in the form of special magical powers]
[Congratulations to the host for mastering the special magical power "Combination and Separation"]
[He Li: A special magical power that can cause rain, snow, thunder, and wind. Its effect depends on the user's realm. It cannot be purchased and can only be obtained through designated methods.]
“.”
A series of system prompt sounds rang in my mind, indicating that Yunlian was indeed dead.
A winged red fish appeared in the night sky, swaying its long tail and swimming into Wei Changtian's dantian, occupying a piece of territory each with Yunyan and Huanglong, who were obviously smaller than it.
And at this moment, Wei Changtian finally understood the direction of Yunlian's heavenly luck blessing.
The path of disaster was similar to what he had guessed before.
He stood there in a daze for a while, shook his head, and walked to Yunlian, who had turned back into her original form.
A blue-red fish.
It is actually quite funny to see such a big fish in the dense forest of Jiuding Mountain.
However, Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu did not laugh, but just looked in the direction the fish's eyes were looking.
Under the protruding boulder was a half-rotted skeleton. Although it was raining heavily around, it was hardly affected by the rain.
There is no doubt that this must be Wu Tianqing.
"Grandpa."
Looking up at the night sky, Wei Changtian suddenly said: "Why not bury them both together?"
"Um."
Qin Zhengqiu nodded and sighed softly: "Alas, no wonder Wu Tianqing said that back then."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian turned his head in confusion and asked, "What?"
“.”
Qin Zhengqiu seemed to be lost in memories, and after a long while he silently explained: "Changtian, back then, Bai Yi Wu Tianqing was a well-known figure, but he suddenly disappeared from the martial arts world fifty years ago."
"No one knows why, but they know that he left a letter to his good friend, and there is a sentence in the letter that should explain the reason."
Qin Zhengqiu said this with emotion.
Wei Changtian had actually heard these words from Yang Liushi.
"Wu Tianqing said that someone wanted to know the taste of love, hate and vengeance in this world, so he wanted to help that person."
"Now that I think about it, this person should be Yunlian."
“.”
Fish cannot survive without water.
Wei Changtian originally thought that Wu Tianqing and Yunlian had a "mutual support" relationship, but he didn't expect that they were actually "water and fish".
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Yunlian now truly knows what love, hate, and vengeance feel like.
“Boom!”
Another purple lightning struck the distant mountain top, and the lightning disappeared in an instant.
There are thousands of hatreds in the past and present, but only separation and reunion are sorrow and joy? Alas.
Love stories in the mundane world are always too long when said, and too short when said.
As time goes by, the world changes so much that it is impossible to describe the yin and yang of the afterlife.
It was so short that it seemed to be finished in the time it takes to hear a thunderclap.
