Double kill
A jet shadow?!
Is that the demon slayer She Liuying who almost killed the Gu woman?
A voice echoed in the woman's mind.
Among the many Gu, the woman in white is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the Gu Woman and the Gu Man.
Now that Gu Lang is dead and Gu Nu has been sent to hunt down those who can counter Gu, only Gu Ye, Gu Ao, and the woman in white remain.
The woman in white hesitated for a moment.
Seeing the arrival of She Liuying boosted everyone's confidence. Yingmou seized the opportunity and lunged at the white-clad woman's empty space behind her. But the next second, the white-clad woman's figure blurred and she directly attacked She Liuying.
"careful!"
Someone shouted, and She Liuying retreated rapidly, firing two arrows in quick succession. The woman in white dodged left and right, her vision blurred, and she swayed to the left, narrowly escaping between the spear and the demon-slaying arrow.
Wu Fei, Kou Xiaobai, and the three demon slayers were all unable to intervene and could only watch nervously as the three fought back and forth.
Only Kou Qiyu, who was outside, watched the battle unfold with bated breath, when he suddenly realized something.
"Stop her! She wants to enter the dangerous peaks!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in white used her sword to repel the Shadow Eye Spear. Instantly, rocks flew up and dust billowed, and all three arrows shot out by the Shadow Arrow missed their mark.
Hu Feng, with his sharp eyes, suddenly spotted a white shadow flashing by and shouted out.
"She went inside!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yingmou cursed angrily and hurriedly chased after him.
The jet shadow followed.
The others immediately dispersed to search for the woman in white.
There was an array set up by Kou Qiyu here, which should have a certain restraining effect on the woman in white, but who would have thought that the opponent would be so powerful.
What he didn't know was that after shaking off the two pursuers, the woman in white didn't rush inside, but instead found a place to hide first.
She pressed her hand to her chest and took a shallow breath. A metallic taste rose in her throat, which she forced down.
I felt as if I was being pricked by needles when I circulated my strength.
This place is definitely problematic.
However, since she dared to come alone, she must have a certain degree of confidence in her own abilities.
She must kill that old demon refiner who can create something to counteract demonic gu.
Once the woman in white made up her mind and sensed the unusual demonic aura around her, she vanished without a trace once more.
"Not here!"
"The mountain peaks are quite steep, where could she be hiding?" Yingmou couldn't help but ask naggingly.
Wu Fei scratched his head and asked, "Or rather, where does she want to go?"
The place she wants to go...
The Demon Refining Elder's residence is located on the westernmost side of the precipitous peaks, a quiet place with few people. In addition, given He Wenwen's bad temper, if you offend him, he might just quit without warning.
Even his master couldn't do anything about it.
Because this place is quiet and suitable for recuperation, Shuzhuo was also settled here.
Xu Caiyou has been living a particularly carefree life lately because he has a master and senior brothers. However, the success rate of his demon tendons is too low and the quality is not very good, so he has been practicing with some less-than-ideal demon bones recently.
Bang!
Thick black smoke billowed out as Xu Caiyou rushed out of the house, covered in soot and coughing violently.
Only after the smoke had mostly dissipated did he dare to run inside, pull out a dark, demonic tendon from the ashes, and fall into deep thought.
"Why is my senior's finished product golden and shiny? Mine always turn out like this. What went wrong?"
His face was covered in soot, and he was completely baffled.
After throwing away the recyclables, I filled a basin with water and was about to wash my face.
Unexpectedly, the basin of water fell to the ground without a sound.
Xu Caiyou was startled. When he looked up, everything blurred before his eyes, and it seemed as if something flew out of his ear.
Ding! Bang!
Sifangduo barely managed to parry the white-clad woman's sword. After a brief exchange, Shuzhuo felt his demonic power surging wildly within him, and he almost coughed up blood.
Xu Caiyou, who had fallen to the ground, stared dumbfounded at Shu Zhuo, who was disheveled and had a stubble-covered face, and even forgot to run away.
"Hurry up!" Shu Zhuo shouted in a low voice.
The woman in white attacked again. Shu Zhuo retreated and advanced, using the agility of the Four Directions Technique to avoid a direct confrontation and instead engage her in a maneuvering battle.
After Shu Zhuo extended Le Qing's life, he learned of Yan Bie's death. He should have gone into seclusion to recuperate, but the quieter he was, the more chaotic his mind became.
It wasn't until then that I sensed a familiar presence.
"Ahhh—"
Xu Caiyou ran out screaming, her cries alerting Xu Jinnian and He Wenwen.
"Master, senior brother! There's a... there's a demonic Gu!!!"
As they were talking, a loud crash was heard from the backyard, and a figure flew out and slammed hard against the eaves.
The next moment, the woman in white's eyes lit up, and she thrust her sword at Xu Jinnian in the wheelchair. Almost simultaneously, a demonic claw shot out from behind Xu Jinnian. The woman in white flicked her wrist, slowing her sword strike by a fraction, and another attack came from all directions.
Ding, ding
He Wenwen immediately hid Xu Jinnian behind her back.
The woman in white frowned, then swung her sword at Shu Zhuo with a backhand strike. Having achieved his goal, Shu Zhuo retreated swiftly, his movements as fast as lightning.
when!
"Hurry up and go!" Xu Jinnian urged He Wenwen.
"Okay!" He Wenwen made a quick decision and pushed Xu Jinnian away.
Xu Jinnian hurriedly shouted, "I told you to walk by yourself!"
"Impossible!" He Wenwen refused outright.
Seeing this, the woman in white immediately abandoned her fight with Shu Zhuo and turned to attack Xu Jinnian.
Meanwhile, Yingmou and the others searched everywhere but found no trace of the woman in white.
Deep within her consciousness, Yingmou suddenly heard Kou Qiyu's extremely anxious voice.
"Master Lian Yao, her target might be Master Lian Yao!"
Upon hearing this, Yingmou immediately called out, "Xu Jinnian!"
For Xu Jinnian, his body could not hold on much longer. It was He Wenwen who spared no expense to refine medicine to prolong his life. He Wenwen had completely inherited his skills and was even more powerful than him.
So he had nothing to regret, except that the child was very stubborn and unwilling to let go of some things.
“You…” Xu Jinnian sighed.
He Wenwen glanced behind her and immediately chose to protect Xu Jinnian.
Whoosh!
The two demonic forces collided violently in mid-air. The woman in white paused, and Sifang seized the opportunity to enter. With a sweep of her longsword, the woman in white retreated half a zhang away.
Le Qing appeared before He Wenwen and Xu Jinnian, her body weak. Across from her, Shu Zhuo's eyes visibly lit up.
Their eyes met, and there was no time for words. Shu Zhuo attacked first, with Yue Qing assisting from the side. The two had cooperated countless times, but never before had they been so in sync.
The woman in white felt a tightness in her chest and silently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
But her hands didn't slow down at all. Seeing that Yue Qing had succeeded in his move, the woman in white actually took Yue Qing's palm strike without dodging or avoiding it, and then struck back with another palm strike.
As Le Qing's injuries began to heal, everything went black, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood before flying through the air.
Upon seeing this, Shu Zhuo hurriedly went to fetch Yue Qing.
The next moment, the woman in white swayed and caught up with Xu Jinnian.
Le Qing shouted, "Don't worry about me, go quickly!"
She shoved the book away.
He Wenwen's pupils suddenly contracted, and without thinking, she stood in front of Xu Jinnian.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Xu Jinnian stood up from his wheelchair and suddenly shielded He Wenwen behind him.
Everything happened so fast that He Wenwen didn't have time to react. By the time he came to his senses, warm blood had splattered on his face.
The woman in white pierced Xu Jinnian's chest with her sword, but she herself was also injured by Si Fangduo.
"No--"
Kou Qiyu, who had just arrived, roared angrily.
The woman in white drew her long sword and thrust it back at the oncoming Shu Zhuo.
Shu Zhuo never expected that the woman in white would still possess such abilities despite her injuries.
The long sword pierced through his body, and Shu Zhuo's eyes widened in shock.
"Book Chopping—"
Le Qing let out a roar.
whoosh, swoosh
Shadow Eyes and Flowing Shadow attacked almost simultaneously, their spears and demon-slaying arrows piercing through the white-clad woman's body at the same time.
The woman in white trembled, and a sudden gust of wind arose around her.
She unleashed her evil power, sending forth a spear and a demon-slaying arrow. Blood splattered, and her veil fluttered down.
What came into view was a gentle and calm face, so familiar it was unsettling.
"you--"
"Shu Huixin!"
Jet Shadow blurted out.
The woman in white closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. In the blink of an eye, she swiftly retreated and vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, Yingmou couldn't let her go so easily, and quickly chased after her.
The others, including Hu Feng and several demon slayers, also took the opportunity to chase after them.
Sheliuying couldn't believe her eyes and looked up at Kou Qiyu, who was equally shocked.
"Is it really her? No, I have to go to Liuwu Forest. Shu Huixin hasn't been able to stand up from her wheelchair for so many years, how could it be her? How could it be..."
Shooting Shadow left in a daze, even forgetting to chase after the other party.
He Wenwen's eyes widened as he watched Xu Jinnian collapse into his arms. As the warm blood in his arms gradually turned cold, his mind went blank.
“Master, Godfather, Father, Father…you’re alright…right? You’re scaring me again. How could you? No way! You’re scaring me. You always scare me, saying I’ve inherited everything from you. I…I didn’t…I…”
He looked at his hands covered in blood, his breathing became labored, something blurred his vision, what was it?
A darkness fell over his head. Kou Qiyu glanced at Xu Jinnian's injuries. Xu Jinnian was already severely injured and extremely weak. This sword had pierced his heart directly, instantly killing him.
"Haha... Xu Jinnian, you must be trying to scare me. I'm not easily frightened. Don't you know me?" He Wenwen forced a laugh, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
"Xu Jinnian, Xu Jinnian..." He Wenwen seemed to have gone mad, "Don't touch him!"
As soon as Kou Qiyu's hand touched Xu Jinnian's body, He Wenwen reacted violently and slapped it away.
"He's alright! He's alright! I can take care of him! I can—"
He Wenwen seemed to be using all her strength to roar at everyone.
Xu Caiyou looked at everything in front of her from afar, her knees buckled, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Master..."
“He’s alright, I’m here, I can do it, I can take care of him, I can…” He Wenwen refused to let anyone get close, and carrying the blood-covered Xu Jinnian, she turned and walked towards the backyard.
But after walking only a short distance, He Wenwen suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
Not far away, Le Qing coughed up blood as he lunged at the equally blood-soaked Shu Zhuo.
Shu Zhuo forced a bitter smile.
Le Qing anxiously checked his injuries and tried her best to stop the bleeding, but was pushed away by Shu Zhuo.
"I……"
Le Qing's throat was full of blood, and she couldn't utter a single word. She could only cry and desperately shake her head, "I...save you, save..."
Upon hearing this, Shu Zhuo suddenly laughed, "I saved you back then because I owed Ye Hong a debt, but that's not the case anymore..."
Le Qing gripped his hand tightly, overwhelmed by despair, as memories of the past flooded her mind once again.
"Your life was given to you by me, so you must live well... I... I really, really, really like you..."
Shu Zhuo slowly loosened his grip, his eyes still gazing lovingly at the woman before him.
"Ah...ah...ahhh..."
Overwhelmed with grief, Yueqing held Shuzhuo's gradually cooling body and wept uncontrollably.
And wasn't she the same? What she hated most was never the book-chopping, but her own powerlessness when she was young.
"Ahhh—"
