After a while, he turned around and naturally handed the Spear Edge in his hand to Xiahou. The silver spear pierced through the air and went straight to Xiahou's chest.
Gengci!
The long spear pierced through Xiahou's chest and out from his back. The shiny Spear Edge was already stained with fresh blood.
As the saying went, one inch long, one inch strong.
When a long spear fought with a Long Sword, the spear holder had the advantage in terms of distance. The advantage of a sword holder was in skill. However, that Xiahou had been suppressed by Chu Yun in terms of skill. He could only rely on sneak attacks to seize the initiative. Chu Yun had predicted this at this moment. Wasn't there only death?
“……”
Xiahou widened his eyes and looked at his chest in disbelief. He thrust the sword in his hand forward. However, he was still a few feet away from Chu Yun.
It didn't seem like a very long distance, and he could even cross it with a single step. However, in this fierce competition, under the life-and-death battle, an inch of distance represented life and death, let alone a few feet.
Chu Yun shook the Spear Edge, and blood gushed out of Xiahou's chest. A blood fountain spurted out from where he stood, and then he lost his breath of life and fell to the ground.
"Ai!"
On the side, Yan Crimson Afterglow was staring at this scene in a daze. She couldn't help but let out a sigh. She looked at Chu Yun and said, "Since you have already defeated him, and you have already predicted his sneak attack, it's fine if you push him back. Why must you take his life? Although this Marquis Xia is a little stubborn, he is still a Vigilante. . . "
"He was considered a Vigilante before. "
Chu Yun shook his head, drew back his spear, and corrected him, "After being defeated by you, since he was able to chase after you for seven years, it means that his mentality has completely lost its balance. The current him is no longer the Xiahou you met in the beginning seven years ago, Hero Yan. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Crimson Afterglow remained silent.
Xiahou had said that this was already a matter between him and Chu Yun. Yan Crimson Afterglow had no reason to interfere.
However, humans were not plants. Who could be heartless? Yan Crimson Afterglow was a man with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He had competed with Xiahou for seven years and could be considered an acquaintance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hold back and not kill Xiahou for seven years.
At this moment, Xiahou was competing with Chu Yun. After losing, he did not know shame and attacked him from behind. Even though he was killed by Chu Yun, no one else could say anything. But. . .
It was still the same sentence. Yan Chixia was too soft and kind.
Chu Yun pulled back his long spear. With a shake of the Spear Edge, the blood on it fell to the ground. Looking at Xiahou's corpse, he said, "If Hero Yan wants to bury this person, I have no objections. "
“……”
Yan Crimson Afterglow glanced at him and silently walked forward. Possessing Xiahou's corpse, she went to Lan Ruo Temple and burned him to ashes.
Then, he sent the ashes to the river nearby and sprinkled them down, making them follow the river.
"You chased me for seven years. We are friends. You deserve to die here today, but since I know how dangerous this place is, I won't let you become a lonely ghost. Go. Be a good man in your next life. Don't be so extreme. What's so good about the reputation of the number one sword in the world. . . ? "
Yan Crimson Afterglow looked at the river water that drifted away, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He was originally a Magistrate whose name shook Guan Dong, Guangxi, and 26 provinces. He hated corrupt officials the most. He had once worked hard to do many things, but because of his treacherous official taking charge of the Dao, all his hot blood had been wasted.
After withdrawing from the Imperial Court, Yan Crimson Afterglow wandered around the martial arts world. He originally wanted to be free and unfettered here, but he did not expect that in the vast martial arts world, although there was no mutual deception in the Imperial Court, there were still endless conflicts between each other. For the sake of some benefits, there were even many cases of stabbing one another in the back.
Compared to those 'heroes of the martial arts world' who were full of benevolence, justice, and morals but were filthy and filthy behind their backs, who were even worse than ghosts, the stubborn and arrogant Xiahou could be considered a simple person.
Yan Crimson Afterglow had seen through all of this, so he withdrew from the Pugilistic World. He was not in the Imperial Court, nor was he in the Pugilistic World. He was wandering in the world with his sword alone.
The only person who made Yan Crimson Afterglow feel that he was still somewhat related to the person in the past was Xiahou, who had come to find him for martial arts frequently over the past seven years.
Although this Xiahou was stingy and the more he fought over the past seven years, he was still an acquaintance after all. Now that even he was dead, Yan Crimson Afterglow felt that everything that had happened in the past had drawn a clear line with the current him.
"Sigh!"
With another sigh, Yan Crimson Afterglow turned around and returned to Lanruo Temple. As he looked at the gloomy ancient temple, he was surprised to discover that someone had lit a lamp in the house.
Yan Crimson Afterglow's brows slightly twitched. When she saw the horse that Chu Yun had tied up in the courtyard, she took a step forward and walked into a dilapidated building. That light was lit up from within. The moment she entered, she saw that Chu Yun was adding firewood to a bonfire.
"Why are you still here?"
Yan Crimson Afterglow asked with a frown.
"I'm here to stay, not to kill people. Why would I leave after killing people? Of course I'm going to stay here for a night. "
Chu Yun's eyes contained a faint smile as he said in a matter-of-fact tone.
After he finished speaking, Yan Chixia said with a straight face, "This place is not as simple as you think. At night, there will be many things that are more dangerous than that Xiahou. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. "
"Oh?"
Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and could not help but laugh. He said, "I heard from that Xiahou that you are in Lanruo Temple, Hero Yan. I have lived here for more than half a month. Since it is so dangerous here. . . Oh, I understand. You want to guard the danger here, am I right?"
“……”
Yan Hongliang was a little surprised. He just casually said a few words, but he didn't expect that Chu Yun would actually guess his intention and intention of staying here. This thought was really surprising.
In fact, it was exactly as Chu Yun had said. The reason why Yan Crimson Afterglow stayed in Lan Ruo Temple for so long was because he wanted to get rid of the demonic devils of Lan Ruo Temple.
Yan Crimson Afterglow's master did not only have the Sword Dao. Back then, when he followed his master to cultivate in the North Sea, other than sword techniques and martial arts, the main thing he learned was to catch ghosts and get rid of demons.
Some people looked like a swordsman with sideburns all over his face, but in reality, he was a mage who could capture ghosts and exorcise demons. He was proficient in orthodox Daoist magic.
In the past, after Yan Hongxia came to a place, he only tasted the local good wine and good food. After he got sick of it, he would leave. If he met any landlords, tyrants, ghosts, and ghosts who were weird, he would get rid of them and change to another place.
When he came to Qing Quan County, he found that the expressions of the people in the county changed when they talked about Lan Ruo Temple. He knew that there was a monster in this place. Originally, he wanted to get rid of the monster and leave, but he did not expect that the thousand-year-old tree demon's cultivation was profound and he was not confident enough. Hence, he settled down here to suppress the monster and prevent it from harming others.
Not only did he live here for more than half a month in the past, if that monster was not removed, Yan Crimson Afterglow was also prepared to stay in Lan Ruo Temple.
"Since you already believe what I said, why don't you leave quickly?"
Yan Crimson Afterglow asked.
Chu Yun smiled faintly and replied, "Hero Yan is willing to sacrifice himself for the people of Lanruo Temple, guardian and the demonic devils. I am the vanguard general of the Blazing Flame Army, and I am responsible for protecting the people and the people. How can I not have this understanding?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Hongliang couldn't help but look at Chu Yun. Then, as if she had thought of something, she sized up Chu Yun's Blazing Flame Army armor.
"You are the Flame Army of Heavenly Hong Fortress? The general under the command of General Sima?"
Yan Crimson Afterglow asked.
"That's right. "
Chu Yun nodded and said with a smile. "It seems like you have also heard of the reputation of our Raging Flame Army. "
"Of course. I used to be a judge in the Imperial Court for a period of time. We used to be comrades, but even the ordinary people knew that the Raging Flame Army of Heavenly Hong Fortress was the strongest army. Guardian Tiannan made the grassland tribes not dare to take a step into the Heavenly Lake. "
Yan Hongxia slowly spoke, and her tone was filled with respect for the Raging Flame Army. Although he had been a corrupt official during his time as an official, in the military, the various achievements and fame of the Raging Flame Army were still rare in the eyes of many Qing Liu officials.
When Chu Yun revealed his background, Yan Crimson Afterglow had already looked up to him. But when she saw the chilly wind whistling outside the window of Lan Ruo Temple, she could not help but shake her head. She said, "I can understand little brother's feelings. But to be honest, the strangeness of this place. . . It's not something that can be solved with just a bit of martial arts, do you know. . . In a mass grave outside the Lanruo Temple. . . How many evil beings are there? "
"Just a tree spirit and a few female ghosts. "
Chu Yun smiled faintly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Hongyuan was surprised and asked, "You know?"
"I observed it when I came here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to stay in this desolate mountain range. I naturally have the same thoughts as Great Hero Yan. I want to get rid of the demons here. "
Chu Yun's face was calm and composed. On the opposite side, Yan Hongliang took a closer look at him. Only then did she know that besides being a martial artist on the surface, Chu Yun also knew about the Dao. Otherwise, no matter how high the martial arts of mortals who hadn't opened their Heavenly Eyes were, they wouldn't be able to see through evil things.
At this point, Yan Hongliang had some doubts about Chu Yun's background. He said, "The Blazing Army is in charge of the Heavenly Hong Fortress. It is the South Pole. You came here alone and even know the Dao. What is your background?"
"Ah. . . "
Chu Yun slapped his forehead. He laughed. "We've chatted for so long, but I still haven't introduced myself. It's really rude of me to do so. I didn't mean to. I am the Vanguard General of the Divine Wind Battalion of the Blazing Army. I am here on the orders of the Great General to meet the Saint in the capital. As for this art. . . "
Chu Yun chuckled and said," In the Heavenly South, There are many raiders and there is a demon. He rose up outside the Jiqing Prefecture and bewitched thirty thousand refugees into rebelling. I was ordered to go and kill him, and the demon did have some skills. I pierced his chest with my spear, but he didn't die. I used a bit of my strength to kill him, and then. . . It was on the Demonic Dao that I obtained his Dao legacy. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of Yan Crimson Afterglow's mouth twitched slightly. He asked, "May I ask. . . ? Little Brother Wuxin, how long has it been since you obtained this Demonic Dao's technique? "
"Not much, just a month. "
Chu Yun answered truthfully, "I just killed the Path of Yao and returned to the stronghold. General Sima ordered me to enter the capital to cultivate for a month on this road. "
“……”
Yan Hongxia's expression became even stranger. She took a deep breath. Then, he sighed and said, "You just cultivated Dao Arts for a month. Regardless of whether the Dao Arts on the demon were orthodox or not, Even if it's a orthodox Daoist cultivation technique, you've only been learning it for a month. How capable can you be? If you really meet a powerful demon, how can you keep your life?"
After saying that, Chu Yun looked at him with a smile and said," I'm also worrying about this matter. Although the cultivation technique of the demonic path is a proper cultivation technique, it's still a serious cultivation technique. However, there is only a cultivation technique and no cultivation technique. I have cultivated all the Yin and Yang Qi in my body, but I don't have any suitable cultivation technique or divine abilities. "
" That's why. . . "
Yan Hongyuan added, "Your abilities are not at home yet, so you still have to cultivate for two years first. At least master the Five Elements Dao Art, the Ghost Slaying Sword Art, and the like, then talk about catching ghosts and eradicating demons"
Chu Yun nodded and said, "Hero Yan, What you said makes a lot of sense. Then, can you give me some pointers on your techniques and techniques? "
" Hmm? "
When Yan Crimson Afterglow heard this, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. So direct?
The two of them had just gotten to know each other. It was just their first meeting, and Chu Yun had even killed an old friend of Yan Crimson Afterglow. Right now, Xiahou's corpse had yet to turn cold in the river, but Chu Yun had actually opened his mouth to ask for Yan Crimson Afterglow's cultivation technique?
"We are all cultivators of the righteous path in the human world. It is our duty to uphold justice and save the people. Naturally, we should help each other. Hero Yan, do you think this is the truth?"
Chu Yun asked.
. . . "I think so. "
Yan Hongliang nodded his head in a daze. He realized that this young man in front of him didn't play according to the rules at all.
However, after he carefully thought about it, he discovered that this did not seem to be out of the question either.
Back then, when his master was in the North Sea, he took in a little brat who wandered the streets like him as his disciple. Didn't that mean that he took a fancy to his outstanding character and dared to fight for justice for an unfamiliar beggar?
Currently, Yan Crimson Afterglow's age was already high. Although it was not a problem for cultivators to live another thirty to fifty years, However, he had left the Imperial Court and the Jianghu by himself. At this point, he still felt somewhat lonely. If he did not find a successor and pass down his martial arts and Dao techniques, wouldn't he be letting down his master?
With this thought in mind, Yan Hongliang looked at Chu Yun who was standing in front of him. This young man had a dignified appearance and was full of righteousness. At such a young age, he was full of vigor and vigor. He was already the vanguard general of the army. He could be said to be outstanding in every aspect.
The most rare thing was that he still had a heart of justice that could eliminate devils and defend the Dao. He had only learned the Dao Art for a month, but he dared to come to Lan Ruo Temple alone, intending to fight the thousand-year-old tree demon with his life on the line.
This courage was also quite rare.
"Alright. . . "
Yan Crimson Afterglow took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll take you in as my disciple. Come, kowtow three times for me, and you can be considered to have entered my sect. "
