In the small courtyard of the head of Cangying Village.
Yue Jian stood up sweating profusely, took out the water bag from the book beside him, and drank a gulp of it.
Then she breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth and the sweat on her forehead, and then turned to look at the boy beside her.
"Let's continue," she said.
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao, who was standing on the opposite side, frowned slightly and said, "Young lady, don't you want to take a break?"
"No need." Yue Jian said, her foot tapped lightly on the ground, and the long sword that fell on the ground flew into her hand.
She looked at Chu Qingxiao, with a stern look on her face and said, "Come on."
When Chu Qingxiao saw this, he didn't say anything more and just nodded.
The next moment, the young man's eyes as clear as spring water slowly closed. When he opened them again, his eyes became cold and dark, faintly filled with murderous intent.
Tsukimi took a deep breath.
Although she had seen Chu Qingxiao's method many times in the past few days, she still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart every time he used it.
In just an instant, the young man in front of him seemed to be a different person.
From a young boy as warm as the spring breeze, he turned into a Shura crawling out of hell.
"Is this the Shura Realm?" Her eyes were fiery, and her figure suddenly shot out.
The sword was like thunder, and it arrived in front of Chu Qingxiao in an instant.
However, Chu Qingxiao's figure remained motionless despite such a fierce killing move. When the sword edge came to a place less than half an inch away from his eyebrows, he stretched out one of his hands, as if he had already understood the opponent's attack path.
.
The two fingers of the palm stretched out, and when the sword passed through them, they came together.
Yue Jian was shocked when the long sword's attack was blocked. Chu Qingxiao's other hand had already made a fist and struck towards her abdomen.
The hairs all over her body stood up, and she had a vague feeling of strangeness - before Chu Qingxiao clenched his fist, she seemed to have discerned the opponent's intention to attack from the changes in the murderous intent around him.
She felt happy, drew her sword and turned around, holding the sword across her chest, intending to block Chu Qingxiao's punch.
And based on her gaze, Chu Qingxiao's clenched fist seemed to be heading in the direction she expected, just as she expected.
But just when she was about to stop Chu Qingxiao's offensive, Chu Qingxiao's lips raised a sneer.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his cold eyes.
He threw out his fist, which suddenly turned into fingers and flicked on Yue Jian's sword.
Zheng!
The sword trembled suddenly, and huge force surged along the sword's body throughout Yue Jian's body. Her body stagnated, but before she could recover, Chu Qingxiao's other hand punched out.
Before she could react, her body was hit by the fist.
After letting out a cry of pain, his body suddenly took several steps back.
…
"Miss Yue Jian, are you okay?" The chill in Chu Qingxiao's eyes receded, and he wanted to step forward with concern and asked.
But as soon as he took the step, Yue Jian stood firm and reached out to stop his move.
Even if the Shura Realm is opened, Chu Qingxiao's cultivation is still at the first level after all. Compared with Yue Jian, who is at the fourth level, he is not even a little bit behind.
If both sides really go all out, Chu Qingxiao has no chance of winning.
In order to achieve the goal of stimulating the Shura world, Yue Jian chose to suppress his cultivation in one realm and constantly sparred with Chu Qingxiao.
Once Chu Qingxiao enters the Shura Realm, his attack and killing methods become extremely brutal. The sense of crisis that can be brought about by life and death is undoubtedly the best catalyst to stimulate the Shura Realm.
"Always a little bit worse." Yue Jian lowered his head, thinking about the words that surged in his body at the moment when Chu Qingxiao punched out.
She was silent for a while, then looked up at Chu Qingxiao and said, "You have to fight me with a sword!"
Chu Qingxiao showed a wry smile and said: "The sword is silent. Once I enter the state of Shura Realm, it will be difficult for me to control myself at the moment of attack. And the swordsmanship I have learned are all killing skills, so it may be...
It would really endanger the girl’s life.”
In the same realm, once he enters the Shura realm, Chu Qingxiao can be considered to have absolute suppressive power against Yue Jian.
Usually the two sides have fought for more than ten times, and it is difficult for Yue Jian to hurt Chu Qingxiao even once. However, the scene where Yue Jian was repelled just now happens often. Yue Jian has a high level of cultivation and has spiritual power to protect his body. Chu Qingxiao's fists bombarded him
Although her body looked terrifying, the actual damage caused to her was not great. But if it were replaced by a sword, the situation might be different.
"But you also said that the Shura Realm needs to be triggered in the realm of life and death. If I don't take some risks, how can I learn this method!" Yue Jian said with a solemn expression.
She vaguely felt that she had touched the threshold of the Shura Realm, but even if she missed the mark every time, she could never get out of the way.
Chu Qingxiao understood this truth, but he did not dare to be hasty in matters involving his life.
"Is it because the girl is so anxious to learn the methods of the Shura Realm because of what happened in the Death Arena?" He asked at this time.
Yue Jian glanced at him, but did not deny it after all, and nodded at that time.
"The batch of goods intercepted last time had an unclean origin. The buyers at the foot of our mountain lowered the price. In addition, several people in the village were seriously ill. Most of the money we received was used to buy medicinal materials at the foot of the mountain. This month, ghosts
We probably won’t be able to raise the money Yazhai wants.”
There are many sick and disabled people in Gosying Village, and the cost of purchasing medicinal materials for them every month is also a huge expense, which really makes Gosying Village unable to make ends meet.
Chu Qingxiao knew this and nodded slightly at this moment.
"Pangzi Pang and Guan Houhou are not good at learning. If they go to the death arena, they will die. Laoqu was seriously injured in the death arena last time and has not fully recovered yet. I can only fight this month.
"
"But the girl seems to have hidden injuries on her body." Chu Qingxiao frowned and said after hearing this.
"It's better than the old song, not to mention, what does this have to do with you?" Yue Jian raised her eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked jokingly: "Is it possible that I am tired of spending time with this girl day and night these days?
Did you kill that yellow-faced woman in your family?"
Chu Qingxiao was speechless for a moment: "..."
Yue Jian seemed to like seeing Chu Qingxiao's helpless look. She found it very interesting to see the contrast between Chu Qingxiao and Chu Qingxiao, who was as cold as a murderous god when they were fighting each other.
"How about you really consider it and stay and be the wife of my Goshawk Village?" Yue Jian blinked and revealed a pair of tiger fangs.
Chu Qingxiao was a little unable to resist the other party's words. He said in a deep voice: "It is too dangerous to attack with swordsmanship, but if the girl insists on doing this, it is better to wait for a few more days. If it still doesn't work, it is not good to use this dangerous move again."
Late."
Yue Jian was a little dissatisfied with Chu Qingxiao's behavior of not answering her questions. She curled her lips and said to herself that it was boring.
But the next moment, a cold light lit up in her eyes.
"Then continue."
As she said this, her figure shot out again.
The clarity in Chu Qingxiao's eyes receded, and his eyes became cold. At that time, facing Yue Jian's offensive, the two of them fought together again.
…
"Zhaozhao...Sister Zhaozhao, you...what are you doing here..." Fang Xuer finally caught up with Chu Zhaozhao with a pale face. She asked out of breath, panting.
Chu Zhaozhao looked up at the small courtyard in front of him - this was the residence of the female bandit Yue Jian.
She clenched the kitchen knife in her hand, and the anger on her face was beyond words.
"I want to see what that female bandit is going to do!" Chu Zhaozhao said through gritted teeth.
"Sister Zhaozhao, have you misunderstood something? Sister Yuejian is really a good person!" Fang Xuer didn't understand what caused Chu Zhaozhao's anger.
She quickly tried to persuade her.
Chu Zhaozhao frowned. The female bandit was indeed an evil person, but she knew Chu Qingxiao's character and could never have an affair with her. After the initial anger dissipated, she calmed down a bit and secretly suspected in her heart.
, could this be a trap deliberately set by the female bandit to anger her?
Thinking of this, her hand holding the knife loosened a little.
When Fang Xuer saw this, she also breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Zhaozhao, don't think too much, let's..."
Before she finished speaking, Yue Jian's voice suddenly came from the small courtyard.
"happy!"
"Brother Qingxiao, come again!"
"You are not as strong as you were just now!"
"Harder! This little strength makes people feel uncomfortable!"
"It's not even close, I can feel it, it's more obvious than last time!"
"Brother Qingxiao, if you keep insisting, we will come again!"
Fang Xuer's face suddenly turned red.
At this moment, the anger that Chu Zhaozhao had just dropped suddenly surged in his chest again.
Her fists were clenched, and the kitchen knife in her hand trembled slightly.
She finally understood what had caused Chu Qingxiao's strange behavior in the past few days.
That low mood!
That head full of sweat!
Those messy clothes!
Then you need to cleanse your body for half an hour every day!
She seemed to have seen the scene where the female bandit was galloping on the boy's body, her face full of morbid joy, while the boy was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and could only bear all this silently with tears in his eyes.
After that, he could only drag his dirty body after being insulted by the female bandit every day, hide in the bathtub, hug his knees, and wash his body over and over again, trying to wash away this humiliation.
"Sister Zhaozhao, I think..." Fang Xuer looked at Chu Zhaozhao like this, feeling a little worried. She wanted to say something else.
But at this moment, Chu Zhaozhao turned around, raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and kicked out towards the courtyard door in front of him.
There was only a roar, and the courtyard door collapsed. At this moment, the scene in the courtyard appeared in front of their eyes.
…
"So, you are actually practicing martial arts with the female bandit..." In the room, Chu Zhaozhao lowered his head and asked cautiously.
Chu Qingxiao looked at Chu Zhaozhao who looked like a child who had done something wrong with a wry smile, feeling a little helpless.
"Naturally." Chu Qingxiao said.
I couldn't help but picture Chu Zhaozhao kicking open the door just now, holding a kitchen knife with a murderous look, and I couldn't help but feel a little weird in my heart.
He couldn't help but ask: "Otherwise, what do you think we are doing?"
This question made Chu Zhaozhao's face turn red.
"I...I thought she was bullying you, so I just wanted to save you..." Chu Zhaozhao said with evasive eyes.
"What can she bully me for?" Chu Qingxiao's eyes were still strange, obviously not quite believing what Chu Zhaozhao said.
This look in her eyes made Chu Zhaozhao panic. She stamped her feet and said, "It's not like you didn't tell me anything..."
"You come back so late every day, covered in sweat, and your clothes are messy..."
Chu Qingxiao seemed to hear something. He smiled bitterly and said: "In order to help Miss Yue Jian learn the skills of the Shura world, I fight with her from morning to evening every day. Naturally, those clothes cannot be clean and tidy..."
"But you still have to take a shower for more than half an hour every day!" Chu Zhaozhao said angrily.
"Then you're covered in sweat every day, so you can't help but wash it, right?" Chu Qingxiao said.
"..." Chu Zhaozhao was speechless for a moment, but he quickly caught the loophole and said: "When I touched your clothes that day, you seemed to be frightened. I thought..."
Chu Qingxiao looked at the girl at this moment, staring straight at her.
Chu Zhaozhao was startled by the young man's sudden change.
The next moment, Chu Qingxiao reached out to untie his clothes and took them off.
Chu Zhaozhao suddenly panicked. She quickly took a step back, covered her eyes with her hands, and said in a panic: "You...what are you doing..."
She asked like this, but her eyes looked out through her fingers with utmost honesty.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned when he saw the sight. Chu Qingxiao's strong body was covered with sword marks. Although these wounds were scabbed and did not look fatal, the sheer number of them still made people scratch their heads at a glance.
numb.
"This..." She slowly lowered her hand and looked at Chu Qingxiao distressedly.
"The cultivation of the Shura realm is most easily understood in the realm of life and death."
"Therefore, the confrontation with Miss Yue Jian is often dangerous. Although we are extremely restrained, we still inevitably get hurt..."
"I just don't want you to worry too much, Zhaozhao." Chu Qingxiao looked at Chu Zhaozhao and said softly.
After hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao looked at the young man's clear eyes, thinking about how clumsy he had been when he came back in the past few days, carefully hiding his fatigue, not wanting her to find out.
It was as if something melted away in Chu Zhaozhao's heart.
She didn't know where she got the courage to go straight to the shirtless boy, stretched out her hand and gently touched the wounds on his body with her fingertips, and murmured softly.
