The assassin was behind Chen Changsheng, and he used this simplest, even somewhat stupid method, to make all of Chen Changsheng's vigilance and defenses fall into the void. Now he has flied in front of Su Li, only ten feet away. distance.
For an assassin who gathers stars, this distance does not exist. Except for the powerhouses in the sacred field, only a few people like Jin Yulu and Nanke can surpass him by virtue of their natural speed advantage. quick.
The eyes of the assassin and Su Li met in the rainstorm.
Now it is an unchangeable situation, so their eyes are very calm, but there are some extremely complicated emotions hidden in the calm. As the assassin looked at Su Li, he could faintly see an indelible trace in the deepest part of his ruthless eyes. The pain and the hatred accumulated for countless years. And Su Li looked at the assassin who came through the rain, with a loose expression on his brows and eyes, as if he didn't care about his own life, but why did he look so dignified
The yellow paper umbrella was in Su Li's left hand, drenched by the rain, and his right hand was still some distance away from the umbrella handle. How could he still have the strength to fight? In the next moment, will he reach out and hold the umbrella handle like he did in the snowy field, or in the inn before
Dozens of days and nights of silence followed, no matter how tragic Chen Changsheng and Su Li faced Xue He and Liang Hongzhuang, the assassin never made a move, even when Liang Wangsun and Xiao Zhang arrived in the inn earlier, he still He didn't take the opportunity to make a move. It has to be said that the third-ranked assassin in the world really possessed unimaginable caution and sensitivity. At that time, he thought that the situation in the field was still changing, so he never moved. Until this time, Wang Po appeared on the stage. , Zhu Luo drew out the sword, and Chen Changsheng walked towards the other side of Yu Street with enthusiasm. All the changes came to an end, so he chose to draw the sword.
When all changes are over, his appearance is the only change.
The mountains and rivers are exhausted, the truth is revealed, the sun is setting, and at the end, naturally there is no way to look back. Just like when Chen Changsheng left Su Li, even if it was only ten steps away, it was too late to turn around, let alone turn around to save him.
Chen Changsheng's body was very cold.
He is not Jin Yulu, nor Nan Ke, although he knows how to walk, but there is no way to return to Su Li's side before the assassin in such a short time.
The fastest thing in the world is not the red eagle or the red goose, not the golden law or the Nanke, not the assassin, but the thought.
When he was thinking about these things with despair, his body was already moving.
He didn't even realize he was moving.
What he moved was Yezhibu, he didn't turn around, he didn't calculate the star position, he completely relied on his memorization of thousands of directions of Yezhibu, recalled Su Li's position, and then disappeared into the rainy sky.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to go back before the assassin, but he wanted to try.
Or it was because the whole world felt that Su Li should not die at this time, or the whole world was moved by his strong regret and intention of making amends, or it was because his realm improvement made Ye Zhibo faster, or maybe it was because The assassin's movement and sword are not as fast as people imagined, or he has a sword intent attached to the step of consciousness...
There was a soft sound on the rainy street, puff.
It was the sound of the sword touching blood, and the sound of the water sac bursting.
Chen Changsheng appeared in the rainy sky in front of Su Li.
He actually managed to beat the assassin with the Yezhibu!
He looked down at his chest.
The assassin's sword pierced his abdomen, and blood slowly overflowed.
The assassin looked at Chen Changsheng, and a slightly bewildered expression appeared in his originally indifferent eyes.
He couldn't understand how his sword pierced into Chen Changsheng's body.
Chen Changsheng also had many things that he couldn't understand. For example, the assassins of the Star Gathering Realm were really so powerful that they could pierce his own body with ease. Although the stabs weren't too deep, it still hurt. Looking at the abdomen that was bleeding slowly, he was a little bewildered, and he thought with some relief, why does the blood that is bleeding at this time have no smell
The assassin couldn't understand why Chen Changsheng could come back so soon.
— There is a remnant of sword intent, lingering in the heavy rain.
The assassin felt it, and then knew that it was the last move of Li Shanfa's sword.
The last move of the Li Shanfa sword, burns jade and stone together, sacrifices life and forgets death, it is a deadly sword.
Not even life, naturally very desperate, because it is very desperate, so very fast.
Chen Changsheng was very familiar with this sword from the court trial battle to the snowy field, and then to practicing the Burning Sword.
There is no one in the world who is more familiar with this sword than him.
At the moment of desperation, he didn't have time to draw the sword, only this sword in time.
This sword does not need a sword, it only needs that heroism.
Fortunately or unfortunately, he won the bet.
He returned to Su Li's body with the last move of Li Shan Fa Sword.
He used his body to block the assassin's extremely sinister and powerful sword.
Blood trickled out slowly and was washed away by the rain.
Rain Street is quiet.
Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked and speechless.
No one thought that Chen Changsheng would actually go all out to protect Su Li. No one thought that he would be seriously injured.
At this time, everyone in Xunyang City came to kill Su Li, but no one wanted to kill Chen Changsheng. He is the dean of the Orthodox Academy, and he is the nephew of His Excellency the Pope. This... was just an accident.
Is it an accident? Really surprised. Whether it was Zhu Luo from the Rain Street, Su Li who was on the horse, or even the assassin in front of him, they were surprised. So, what should we do next
Immediately afterwards, another soft sound sounded in the rainy street.
Blood shot out, and the sword left Chen Changsheng's body.
The assassin drew his sword towards Su Li again, very calmly, even a bit dull.
Chen Changsheng stepped on the star position, broke the rain curtain, and stood up with his sword.
He appeared before the assassin's sword again.
With a puff, the sword edge sank into his chest and abdomen again, bringing out blood.
His face was pale, but there were two blushes.
It is the color brought about by pain and blood loss, and it is also the heroism mixed with perseverance and will.
The assassin lowered his head slightly and looked at him quietly without speaking, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: you will die.
Chen Changsheng was seriously injured and unable to speak. The rain was running down his face, and the meaning was very clear: so what
…
…
Some people choose to die in order to save others, such as Chen Changsheng. Some people die to kill, such as Liang Xiaoxiao.
From Moyu Snowfield to Tianliang County, on the tens of thousands of miles back south, Chen Changsheng and Su Li encountered many things and missed certain places.
The place Chen Changsheng cared about the most was Kyoto, and the place Su Li was most worried about was Mount Li.
Li Shan was also very worried about Su Li, but at that time, Li Shan was facing a lot of troublesome problems. Mr. Qiushan was seriously injured and still unconscious, and Qi Jian, who had just been transported back to Li Shan, was also unconscious. Then, many people came in front of the mountain. . Many people in Kyoto are worried about Chen Changsheng, Luoluo stands on the top of Qingxian Hall, watching the sunset every day, her pretty face is full of worry and sadness, Orthodox Academy is as quiet as a tomb, Xuanyuan Po goes to Tianshu Mausoleum every day To see if Tang Thirty-Six came out, the big banyan tree by the lake was green in spring, but no one came to visit.
What happened in the Zhou Garden was over, but the aftermath was far from over. People left Hanqiu City, and spread the shocking news of what happened in the Zhou Garden and the shocking news outside the Zhou Garden to the entire continent—the demons didn’t know what method they used Sneaking into the Zhou Garden, and then forcibly closing the Zhou Garden, set off countless bloody storms inside. Afterwards, the Zhou Garden suddenly collapsed for unknown reasons, and it should have been destroyed by now. Many talented young practitioners fell during it. The most shocking thing was that Chen Changsheng disappeared in the Zhou Garden, and his life and death were never known.
The current Chen Changsheng is no longer that young Taoist priest from the old temple in Xining Town. He was the first in the imperial examination last year. He attracted stars all over the sky in the Mausoleum of Books of Heaven and helped dozens of practitioners of the same age to successfully break through. He is also the most valued young genius by the Pope, and the youngest dean of the Orthodox Academy in history.
Such a person whose life is unknown and whose whereabouts are unknown will of course attract the shocking gaze of the entire continent. The only thing that can be compared with this matter is the accusation made by Liang Xiaoxiao before he died. Liang Xiaoxiao didn't explain it before he died, but everyone present knew that what he wanted to say was...Chen Changsheng colluded with Qijian and Zhexiu with the Mozu.
If someone else made this accusation, it would only provoke ridicule, but Liang Xiaoxiao is a disciple of Lishan, the famous Qilu of the Kingdom of God. He has no reason to frame his junior Qijian. The most important thing is... Liang Xiaoxiao is dead.
He died in the last move of the Li Shanfa sword.
And the dead don't lie.
…
…
"A dead person can't even speak, so naturally he won't lie. The problem is, when that Li Shan disciple said those words, he wasn't dead yet, so why do you think he won't lie?"
"But Liang Xiaoxiao was seriously injured at that time, and was not far from death. Those words... are like last words."
Zhou Tong didn't show any expression, his eyebrows were like two ink lines under the light of the oil lamp, and said: "The last words must be credible? Then it will be much easier for me to handle the case after clearing the official department. Who else thinks that my evidence is insufficient?" , I arranged for one of his nephews to commit suicide, just leave a few words before he dies?"
"I never knew that Mr. Zhou Tong valued evidence so much." Mo Yu looked at him and said. She never liked Zhou Tong, and the whole capital knew about it. Of course, this did not affect her and Zhou Tong's cooperation in the court affairs. As the two most reliable arms of the Holy Empress in the court, they must cooperate well .
"The point is, no one believes that Chen Changsheng will collude with the demons, so I need evidence."
Zhou Tong's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Actually, if the disciple Li Shan hadn't died, and based on Zhuang Huanyu's accusation, do you think Li Gong would agree to hand Zhe Xiu into my hands?"
After a moment of silence, Mo Yu said, "What's the result of the interrogation?"
"He didn't say a word, so naturally there was no result."
Zhou Tong said expressionlessly: "I will interrogate him for another month. If by then, he still does not admit that he and Chen Changsheng colluded with the demons, then... I will admit that he is telling the truth."
Hearing these words, Mo Yu felt a chill and turned pale.
Zhexiu has been imprisoned for many days, if he is imprisoned for another month, can he still come out alive? You must know that the prison he is in is not the Imperial Prison, nor the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the most eerie Zhou Prison in the legend. No one can survive such a long time in a weekly prison. Even if it could, it would be too cruel.
So cruel... Even Zhou Tong felt a little sympathetic to that wolf boy.
