Chapter 401: Front Edge (70)
Seeing this, the soldiers who had been standing guard beside King Xian immediately drew their swords and fought back.
In an instant, people from both sides started fighting, and the scene was filled with the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers.
The rubbing of weapons and the knocking of things made a ping-pong sound, and there were also screams of pain from the injured or killed as the blades cut through flesh and blood...
Ling Chuan was terrified because the boy's eyes were always following Jin Xuhua's figure, and he was really afraid that he would be hurt.
Fortunately, Qiao Ruicheng and his wife both knew martial arts, and there were several experts protecting them, so reinforcements quickly surrounded them.
However, Jin Xuhua and his men, who were so bloodthirsty that they were blinded by anger, did not stop even when they were surrounded.
Jin Xuhua's swordsmanship was fierce and fierce. The two soldiers who were fighting with him were quickly defeated and killed. The blood spurted out and splashed on his clothes and face.
One, two, three... the soldiers fought one after another, and finally all of Jin Xuhua's men were killed. The exhausted Qiao Wenjin was also put to death with a knife by the neck, and Jin Xuhua, covered in blood, had no ability to resist.
"Twelfth Prince, the outcome is decided. You have lost. The Cangwu Kingdom and the Xuanyue Kingdom dared to plot against my Dayuan. I, Dayuan, will take them back one by one in the future." Qiao Ruicheng walked over, looked at him contemptuously and said solemnly.
Jin Xuhua sneered and said evil words, "Dayuan will perish, Prince Xian, you can't change it." Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the young man, examining him gloomily, "You are the same, so what if you have a good fate? You can't change anything, this is fate! It's a predetermined fate! Dayuan will perish!"
"I think you, Cangwu Cai, will surely perish! Even when death is imminent, you still dare to speak wildly and want to disrupt the people's hearts in our dynasty. Come! Take him to the Heavenly Prison and guard him strictly. No one is allowed to enter without my order. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy! And Prince Qiao, take him away as well!"
Before the young man could speak, Qiao Ruicheng pointed his sword at Jin Xuhua's nose and glared at him.
"Yes!" The soldier leader took the order and roughly pulled Jin Xuhua up from the ground. The soldiers next to him also had a fierce look on their faces and told Qiao Wenjin to be quiet and leave quickly.
However, Qiao Wenjin remained unmoved.
He suddenly laughed three times, and made a sudden move, trying to snatch the knife from a soldier's hand regardless of the scratch on his neck.
Everyone's face changed drastically, thinking that he wanted to take the blame for his own misfortune, but the next moment he put the knife to his own neck and slashed it hard.
Qiao Wenjin committed suicide.
Qiao Ruicheng and Yu Shuche looked at him in shock as he fell to the ground with a plop, their eyes darkening.
"It's a good deal for him." Yu Shuche said.
Isn't it a good thing for him? He has done so many bad things and killed so many innocent people. If he dies, it will be all over.
But even if they were all dead, they could not wash away the heinous crimes they had committed. Every one of them would make the people of Dayuan curse them for most of their lives.
After Jin Xuhua was taken away, Qiao Ruicheng ordered his men to clear away the bodies on the ground and clean the palace.
Looking at all this, the young man, who seemed to be troubled by something, lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "Is this a predetermined fate?"
Yu Shuche knew he had spoken, but couldn't hear what he said, so he asked, "Mr. Ling, what did you say just now?"
"Nothing." The young man shook his head, then looked at him and Qiao Ruicheng and said, "My Lord and Princess, don't forget what you promised me."
Of course they both remembered.
Qiao Ruicheng said, "Of course, Mr. Ling, please wait for a while. Once the matter is settled, you can deal with this person as you wish."
Young man: "Okay."
Ten days later.
Everything is settled.
Jin Xuhua was taken to the execution ground and knelt in the direction of the border town, while the young man was dressed in mourning clothes, holding a big knife.
"It's you, right? The one who saved King Xian." Jin Xuhua said.
The young man stroked the blade with his hand and glanced at him sideways, "It's me."
"Sure enough!" Jin Xuhua narrowed his eyes and looked at the knife in his hand, "Even if you kill me, it won't change anything."
"Are you scared?" asked the boy.
Jin Xuhua laughed, "Ha! What do I have to be afraid of? I'm telling you the truth, no one can change fate..."
"What does it matter whether I can change it or not? Today, I will kill you!" The young man's face was extremely cold, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he was not moved by his words at all.
Jin Xuhua raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "Then let's wait and see."
"The time has come—"
The voice sounded.
The young man's eyes turned fierce, and he immediately pressed the weak head of Jin Xuhua on the wood. He poured three bowls of wine on the ground, then raised his hands and knelt down with a knife, knelt devoutly towards the direction of the border town, then stood up again and returned to Jin Xuhua's side.
Jin Xuhua tilted his head and stared at the boy, "Are you going to take action?"
The young man ignored his words and slowly raised the knife towards his neck.
However, before the knife fell, the sky suddenly changed. A strong wind blew up, and the clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, blocking the sunlight above, and the ground became gray.
The rolling dark clouds seemed like they would come down at any time, and then there was a loud "boom", deafening, and a stream of purple electricity rushed through the dark clouds, just above their heads, very close, as if warning them of something.
The faces of the people below the execution ground all changed, and they all looked up at the sky in horror.
"What's going on? Why did everything suddenly change?"
"Yeah, something's wrong..."
The young man also looked, but his eyes were deep and he was neither afraid nor angry. His black hair and white hairband were flying in disarray, and his plain white clothes were fluttering in the wind.
“Hahaha…” Jin Xuhua laughed loudly and said to the little brother proudly: “Look, if you want to kill me, you are against fate and against God! Dayuan will perish! No one can change it! No one can change it!!!”
Jin Xuhua became more and more crazy as he spoke, and his voice was quite loud. People who were close to the execution ground probably heard it, and they all looked horrified.
The young man's eyes turned cold and he said, "Killing you is just a matter of a flick of the sword." He then gripped the handle of the sword tightly and swung it away.
Boom boom boom boom——
The sky seemed to be exploding.
Not only was it a natural phenomenon, but it was also very ominous, which made everyone change color. Not only the people at the execution ground, but also the entire palace, the entire capital city, and even the people around it, were all panicked.
Compared to them, Ling Chuan, who witnessed with his own eyes the young man's knife being bounced off by an invisible hard object and taking two steps back, was truly horrified and stared in amazement.
[Moer, are you okay?]
The boy's face suddenly turned pale, and not only did his breathing become heavier, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ling Chuan was extremely anxious. He stood beside the young man in a panic, and the worry in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"You are not from this world. You disrupt the direction of this world and should be killed." Jin Xuhua still maintained the original posture, but his eyes changed. The light gray pupils turned into pure gold. It seemed that his temperament changed drastically, like a different person.
The young man had stabilized himself and laughed sarcastically when he heard this: "Towards? Do you mean to let those black-hearted people step on the bones of others to reach the prosperous road? Kill me? If you have the ability to do this, how can I live to this day? And still confront you like this?"
The young man raised his knife and pointed it at him. "You kneel and I stand. Who is the captive and the disadvantaged party? You don't seem to understand the situation."
Jin Xuhua narrowed his golden eyes and said in a calm voice: "You can't kill me. If you do, everything will start over again, and you will be completely wiped out and your soul will be shattered."
"Oh? Really? That's really difficult." The young man sighed.
"If you let me go and work with me to restore the world to its original point, I can spare your life and send you back to your original world." Jin Xuhua said.
"Haha, this is so funny. Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? So easy to fool?" The boy laughed out loud and taunted, "You're just a piece of shit that can only possess others, and you really think you're so great. If you want to kill me, then come at me!"
Jin Xuhua's face twisted for a moment.
At this moment, an official hurried over and said to the boy cautiously, "Sir, the weather is not auspicious. How about we hold the execution another day?"
The young man's eyes turned cold and shot at him with a look as sharp as a knife.
"Are you scared of this little noise?"
"No, it's not..."
"What is not? If others can't hear it, you can't hear it either? He said that our Great Abyss will be destroyed! This is really a lie to confuse the people. Sir Liang, don't forget that he is from Cangwu Country! He is the one who wants to destroy our Great Abyss!"
The young man scolded coldly, and the official who was called Lord Liang turned pale, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
But the young man didn't want to let him go. He looked around with a cold gaze, stepped forward and raised his voice and said, "What? Are you scared by a few thunderbolts? Do you agree with what he said? Do you think that we, Dayuan, will perish?"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
"It seems not." The young man's expression eased a little, and he asked again: "Then, how should we deal with those who harmed our people in Dayuan and refused to repent and said that we in Dayuan must perish?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill—"
Everyone cheered in unison.
The boy was satisfied.
"Very good. If this is the so-called destiny, then why not go against it?"
After saying that, the young man ignored everyone's reactions. He walked back, looked down at Jin Xuhua, and then raised his sword again in the strong wind.
"You can't kill me..."
The young man didn't want to waste time talking to him and chopped down with force. At that moment, Ling Chuan's heart was in his throat. He couldn't help but hold his breath and stare.
The moment the blade fell on the barrier again, a ray of emerald green light extended from the handle held by the little brother to the blade.
shake--
The invisible barrier was broken, blood spurted out, and the head rolled down. During the whole process, the young man's bright black eyes did not blink.
It was chopped off, really chopped off...
Ling Chuan was thinking about it, but before he could be happy, he realized something was wrong.
The wind stopped, the sound stopped, and time seemed to have stopped. Except for the young man and the bleeding headless corpse, everyone was motionless.
"I see. Even if he kills me, he can't escape his fate! Let's die together!"
If a head can still speak after it falls off, ordinary people would be terrified upon seeing it.
"!" Ling Chuan's heart skipped a beat. It was not because he was afraid of this, but because he was worried that he would die together with the young man!
The young man, who was no longer considered an ordinary human, was also not afraid. Not only had he died before, he had also seen the tragic appearances of countless soldiers who died in battle, including the person closest to his heart.
"You talk too much nonsense!" The young man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He raised his hand and stabbed the knife into his chest.
Strands of golden light flew out from there, and the knife inserted in it was quickly corroded, leaving no residue.
Jin Xuhua's body turned into flowing light in an instant, and then turned into a huge flowing golden lotus, rushing straight towards the young man.
[Moer, be careful!]
Even the knife was burned to ashes. Ling Chuan yelled and without thinking, he blocked it with his body, wanting to take it all for his brother.
bang——
At the critical moment, several vines suddenly flew out, not only trapping the golden lotus, but also piercing it directly.
"what--"
The golden and fluorescent green streams of light collide and intertwine.
Ling Chuan turned around abruptly, and the young man who was waiting to die but didn't die also looked back in surprise.
It was a huge tree that had risen up behind them at some point.
Ling Chuan took a closer look and his pupils suddenly contracted.
It's it! It's definitely it! The little sapling in the little brother's space! I didn't expect it to be so huge here!
"Tree?" The boy looked up at its dense branches. There were countless dots of glowing light, as ethereal as the spores of a mushroom when it "bloomed". He couldn't help but murmur, "It's magical."
[Indeed.] Ling Chuan responded, and then turned back to see the golden lotus imprisoned by the vines being devoured bit by bit...
The moment Jinlian completely disappeared, everything around her became distorted.
Ling Chuan's vision also went dark. Before he could lose all sight, he saw the unconscious boy being picked up by several vines...
tick-
It's the sound of water.
"Mo'er!"
As soon as Lingchuan opened his eyes, he found himself in a small valley with extremely beautiful scenery. In front of him were clusters of blooming flowers, bright red, and outside there was a stream flowing down.
"Where is this?" Ling Chuan was stunned and had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.
"Don't be nervous." A clean and sharp female voice came from behind him.
Ling Chuan turned around and looked, his eyes paused.
The woman was wearing a cross-collared skirt, her hair was piled high, she had thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and natural red lips. She was beautiful but also had a heroic air. She was completely different from the gentle appearance of Liu Yun in his impression.
But his intuition told him that the person in front of him was the one who invited him into the dream and the manipulator of everything, Liu Yun.
"Senior." Ling Chuan withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.
"You don't seem surprised to see me." The woman walked closer and said with a smile.
Ling Chuan said truthfully: "Well, maybe at first, but the senior left a lot of clues and let me see the difference between the two lives, so when I saw you again, my thoughts became more certain."
Liu Yun smiled and turned to look at the cluster of bright red flowers. "You are very smart, and so is he. I didn't choose the wrong person."
Ling Chuan also looked over, and after taking a look, he said sincerely: "Senior, can you tell me the truth? I have a lot of things I want to ask you."
Liu Yun glanced sideways: "I thought you saw through it all."
"No, I only know that everything the senior did was for Liu Ze. I don't know the details about Mo'er and the future of Dayuan. Will it really be as Mr. Jin said?" Ling Chuan frowned. If that was the case, how could he stop it?
"It used to be, but now that you are here, it won't happen again," said Liu Yun.
