The next day, in the front hall of Zhu Youji's residence.
"So, your senior brother Ding Xiu showed up?" Zhu Youji glanced at Jin Yichuan in front of him and asked.
Jin Yichuan knelt down respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Did you help him hide it?" Zhu Youji said with a glint in his eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am guilty." Jin Yichuan lowered his head to plead guilty, not daring to raise his head.
"Humph!" Zhu Youji snorted coldly, and an inner energy surged up. This inner energy instantly activated the dragon scale life and death talisman in Jin Yichuan's body.
"Ahhhh..."
Jin Yichuan's face suddenly turned ugly. He was rolling around on the floor desperately, panting heavily, scratching his heart desperately, and kept begging for mercy: "Your Highness, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me for your life." , have mercy on me..."
At this moment, Jin Yichuan completely understood the horror of the Dragon Scale Life and Death Talisman.
This kind of torture, like maggots clinging to the bones, causing all kinds of insects to gnaw at the heart, is simply the most horrific punishment in the world!
Life is worse than death!!!
"Jin Yichuan, you have to remember that everything you have is given to you by me."
Zhu Youji looked at Jin Yichuan indifferently, indifferent to his begging for mercy and pain, and continued: "I can give you glory and wealth, or I can make your life worse than death."
"I saved you from Shen Fei and Cao Shuang, but I can also make your life worse than death."
"Could it be that the lives of your two brothers, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian, and the medical officer's daughter you like, are not as good as one of your senior brothers?"
Hearing Zhu Youji's indifferent words, Jin Yichuan knew that his actions had completely angered Zhu Youji, and he quickly continued to beg for mercy: "Yes, yes... His Highness taught you a lesson..."
"Spare your life, spare your life!!"
"Ahhhh..."
"Spare my life, please..."
Jin Yichuan's heart was scratched with blood marks, his face was extremely pale, his forehead was dripping with sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was in agony, as if thousands of ants were devouring his flesh and skin.
Zhu Youji looked at Jin Yichuan's ugly appearance, raised his hand, withdrew his inner energy, and threw a pill over.
The pill fell in front of Jin Yichuan. He didn't care if it was dirty or not, he grabbed it from the ground and put it into his mouth.
After taking the pill, a warm current surged throughout the body. In an instant, the pain and itching in the body gradually disappeared.
The painful expression on Jin Yichuan's face gradually dissipated. He gasped for air, looked at Zhu Youji in fear, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the medicine. Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
"Jin Yichuan, you disappoint me." Zhu Youji shook his head, stood up, and said softly: "If there is a next time, you don't have to come back to see me."
"Yes, yes, I don't dare to do that anymore..." Jin Yichuan quickly grabbed the ground with his head and said respectfully.
Zhu Youji left the mansion and went to Ding Xiu's residence alone.
After a while, Zhu Youji came to the eaves of the small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Ding Xiu was practicing swordplay in the small courtyard.
"Whizzing……"
The extremely sharp long knife was drawn out from the blade tied with a cloth strip, and suddenly cut through the air, making a slightly harsh sound.
Ding Xiu's eyes were calm, he clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and concentrated on the secret technique of Yuanzhuan Demon Knife Sect, the Blood Knife Technique, gradually attaching all his internal energy to the blade.
Soon, a bloody air blade gradually appeared on the blade.
The next moment, Ding Xiu moved.
Chop left, chop right, chop horizontally!!
In just three moves, the extremely sharp blood-colored blade burst out with astonishing killing intent and sword energy, spreading out in all directions, tearing the surrounding rockery, branches, and wooden frames into four pieces. The knife marks were engraved on the ground, forming a line There were gullies and the scene was extremely shocking.
Ding Xiu closed his eyes and silently felt the charm of the three sword swings.
Suddenly, he realized someone was spying on him.
Ding Xiu suddenly turned his head and looked above the eaves, and he spotted Zhu Youji.
Ding Xiu didn't hesitate, swung his sword directly, drew a bloody air blade in the air, and flew towards the eaves.
The air blade cuts through the air with astonishing power, and is capable of splitting Zhu Youji in two!!
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Youji's lips. The moon scimitar in the well appeared in his palm at some unknown time. It was like a dream, like a knife, like a sword. A faint moonlight gradually emerged, and in an instant, the sword appeared in his hand. Devoured by the air blade.
Zhu Youji's figure also disappeared without a trace under this mysterious moonlight.
"Huh? Where are the people?" Ding Xiu's face changed slightly, and he observed the surroundings vigilantly. The hair on his body stood up, and he felt a fatal threat.
The person who came here is very strong, at least not inferior to him.
At this moment, Zhu Youji's voice sounded in the small courtyard.
"Your sword skills are pretty good. Let me teach you a move."
"Just keep an eye on it..."
As Zhu Youji's voice fell, a different charm and artistic conception gradually emerged in the small courtyard. The moisture in the air seemed to be much thicker, and vaguely, it seemed that whales and dolphins were playing and chirping, which was extremely strange.
It was as if at this moment, the entire courtyard was dragged into the sea by Zhu Youji, which was extremely strange.
"This...is this the intention of the sword?"
"No, that's not right, this... this is the realm of heaven-level swordsmanship..."
Ding Xiu faced a formidable enemy and without hesitation, he directly activated his blood essence and spurted it out, splashing onto the blade. A trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and he waved the long knife desperately, gathering all his internal energy in his hands. Go up, don't retreat but advance, directly face a certain position and make a sudden move.
"Blood Knife Sword Technique·The Blood Demon Comes to the World!!"
The long knife stained with Ding Xiu's essence and blood exuded an extremely evil aura. Black-red blood was continuously drawn out from Ding Xiu's body, like streaks of blood mist lingering around him, accompanied by terrifying killing intent. The blade struck hard at the artistic conception that enveloped the small courtyard.
At this moment, a brilliant blue-white light flickered.
"The clouds break the blue sky!!"
brush!
A dazzling blue sky and white clouds suddenly completely blocked the meaning of the waves of the sea, just like the bright moon rising on the sea, the rising sun, and the scenery is infinite.
All the scenes disappeared at this moment.
Only a flawless white cloud was left, cutting through the blue sky.
The extremely terrifying sword energy was hidden under the blue sky and white clouds. In a way that Ding Xiu could not imagine, it directly penetrated the bloody sword energy, completely destroying it and disappearing without a trace.
"puff……"
Ding Xiu's whole body slumped down, his skill backfired, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the long knife fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
Ding Xiu was also hit hard on the ground by this impact.
The next moment, Zhu Youji's figure appeared in the small courtyard.
Ding Xiu, who had fallen to the ground, saw Zhu Youji, stretched out his hand, grabbed the long knife, and struggled to support his body.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
Blood continued to drip from the wounds on his body.
Ding Xiu was seriously injured and it was difficult to continue fighting.
But even so, he still stared at Zhu Youji with no fear or begging for mercy in his eyes.
Ding Xiu has nothing to say because his skills are not as good as others, but you want him to compromise and surrender?
wishful thinking!!
"Yes, I admire you very much."
Seeing Ding Xiu's tenacious look, Zhu Youji showed admiration in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Did you see clearly what I did just now?"
Hearing this sentence, Ding Xiu was a little confused, but he still replied: "You can see clearly, he is very strong!"
Yes, very strong!
This is Ding Xiu's evaluation of Zhu Youji's knife attack just now.
His blood knife technique comes from the secret book "Blood Knife Sutra" of the Demon Sword Sect.
The highest level of the "Blood Sword Sutra" is only nine levels, but he has already reached the seventh level. He is considered an outstanding existence among the Demon Sword Sect.
And his cultivation level has reached the peak of the seventh level, and he is only one step away from the eighth level.
You must know that Zhuque and Liu He, the second stall owner of Xichang, are only at the eighth level of cultivation.
With Ding Xiu's eyesight, he could see that even an eighth-grade peak swordsman might not be able to make that shocking sword strike.
The most important thing is that when Zhu Youji took action, he only used the same internal force as him.
In other words, if Zhu Youji had used an internal force exceeding the seventh grade just now, he would probably have been torn apart by the sword energy, leaving no intact body.
Therefore, Ding Xiu lost, so he had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
"Do something for me, and I'll let you go and teach you the sword technique I just used." Zhu Youji looked at Ding Xiu and made his request.
"Huh?" Ding Xiu was slightly stunned. He originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events?
Not only can you escape a disaster, but you can also learn heaven-level sword skills?
Is there such a good thing?
"whats the matter?"
"You can't accomplish it even with your strength, how can I possibly help you?"
Ding Xiu never believed in pie-in-the-sky things, so he asked.
"Help me kill someone." Zhu Youji said with a smile.
"Who?" Ding Xiu frowned and asked.
Zhu Youji looked at Ding Xiu and said word by word: "Beizhen Fusi small flag official, Jin Yichuan."??
