Darkness, boundless darkness, exuding a bone-chilling chill, like an abyss where the sun cannot be seen.
Qin Yun didn't know how long he stayed in this bottomless abyss, but the suffocating despair overwhelmed his body and mind at that moment. If he hadn't persisted with his tenacious will, he might have sunk forever.
Until, a glimmer of light appeared in front of my eyes, a red and warm firelight.
Qin Yun's consciousness came back bit by bit, and the fire gradually enlarged and became clearer.
He found himself lying on a patch of gravel, the stones beneath him making him feel uncomfortable.
But this kind of discomfort is nothing compared to the pain in the chest and body wounds.
The roar of the river came from behind, reminding Qin Yun that he was on the river beach.
It was completely dark, but there was a small bonfire a few steps ahead. In the cold night, the bright fire couldn't help but warm people's hearts.
The injuries on his body throbbed and hurt, especially the broken bones in his chest, which made Qin Yun almost unable to breathe. He endured the discomfort and performed simple treatment on himself, tearing off strips of clothing and binding them.
Fortunately, he still had the two bottles of elixirs he kept in his inner pockets, so he took out the healing elixirs and swallowed two pills.
The elixir melted quickly in the abdomen, and the heat generated by the medicine quickly traveled throughout the body, and the pain of the wound was immediately relieved a lot.
After regaining some strength, Qin Yun struggled to get up from the ground.
Suddenly he was stunned.
Because he saw a man in black sitting next to the bonfire in front of him, lowering his head and playing with his Qinggang sword!
This man in black shirt is about 30 or 40 years old, with a tall and strong figure, a dark face and no beard, and he looks a bit elegant like a scholar.
There was an earthworm-like scar under the corner of his left eye, and his clothes were torn everywhere and stained with blood, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle like Qin Yun.
Next to the man in black shirt, there is also a dark heavy sword stuck in it, its edge does not reveal its evil spirit.
He sat there motionless, but Qin Yun felt that he was as majestic as a majestic mountain, with unfathomable power!
Qin Yun exhaled a breath of turbid air, cupped his fists and saluted the other party and asked: "Is it you who saved me? May I ask your surname?"
He would not appear on the river beach for no reason. The most likely reason was that he was fished out of the river after being seen by the other party, which would be a life-saving grace.
At this time, the man in black clothes raised his head, his dark eyes flashed with the sharpness of an eagle, but he did not answer Qin Yun's question: "Is this your sword?"
He raised the Qinggang Sword in his hand and his voice was low and hoarse.
Qin Yun was slightly startled, feeling that the other party's voice sounded familiar, nodded and replied: "Yes!"
This Qinggang Sword was a relic left to him by Qin Yang. Qin Yun usually cherished it very much and would never show it to others.
If possible, he absolutely does not want the sword to fall into the hands of others, but he understands that if the other person is really greedy, there is nothing he can do about it.
But the man in black shirt obviously didn't have that idea, and threw the Qinggang Sword with a flick of his wrist.
The long sword shining with cold light seemed to be supported by a pair of invisible hands underneath. It flew steadily across the distance of seven or eight steps and accurately flew in front of Qin Yun.
With just this skill, Qin Yun couldn't do it even if he was unscathed.
He felt awe-inspiring, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab the sword, and saluted again to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Excellency. I really don't know how to repay Your kindness!"
"This sword is not bad. The embryo of the sword has been completed. If the embryo is broken and transformed into a spirit, it might be possible." The man in black shirt said calmly: "Which Qin family are you a descendant of?"
Sword fetus? Transformation into spirit?
Qin Yun was confused. Although he didn't know why, he still answered the other party's question: "I am not a direct descendant."
"Huh?" The man in black shirt was surprised, and said with a half-smile: "You can kill my general Black Tiger at a young age, and you have such a good sword, how can you be a descendant of the collateral lineage?"
His general, Black Tiger!
Qin Yun was horrified, and finally understood why he felt that the other party's voice was familiar: "You are a mountain breeze!"
During the battle on the mountain road, he only heard the voice of the mountain breeze but did not see the person. The impression he had of the big bandit should be that he was a rough and powerful man with a ferocious face, but he did not expect that the other party's true appearance was completely different.
"Then why did you save me?" Qin Yun couldn't help but clenched the Qinggang Sword in his hand.
The Qin family and Guo Shanfeng had always had a grudge. Seeing the other party in such a miserable state, they must have suffered a lot in this battle, and they must have hated the Qin family even more.
Guo Shanfeng actually saw him killing Black Tiger, so he would definitely not be out of good intentions when he saved him!
"Yes, I am the Guo Shanfeng that your Qin family wanted to kill but couldn't!" The man in black shirt smiled coldly: "But this time, due to your Qin family's calculations, I almost turned into a drowned dog!"
His eyes were cold, and there was unspeakable resentment in his words: "I didn't expect that the Qin family would actually use Lin Dong, Huanglong Mianyu, and disciples like you as bait. I didn't lose unjustly!"
Qin Yun's heart felt cold, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This matter was a trap from beginning to end. Everyone, including Lin Dong, was kept in the dark just to deal with Shanfeng.
Thinking of those sons who died in the battle, boundless anger and sorrow surged in his heart.
In the eyes of those high-ranking figures, he and his descendants are just insignificant chess pieces, chess pieces that can be sacrificed at will!
At this moment, Qin Yun's inner sense of belonging and honor for the Qin family disappeared!
"This world is like this..." Guo Shanfeng easily saw Qin Yun's thoughts and said calmly: "If you don't have enough strength, you can only listen to others. However, Lin Dong was a blessing in disguise this time. After breaking through the innate
It is enough to occupy a place in the Qin family, and no one dares to look down upon it."
"As for you, a small collateral descendant, if you die, you will die. Who will care?"
Who cares?
Familiar faces flashed through Qin Yun's mind, including his grandfather Qin Yang, who raised him, and Qin Mingzhu, who was waiting for his safe return in Qianchao City...
He took a deep breath and asked: "Then what are you going to do with me? Kill me?"
When things came to a close, Qin Yun calmed down. Only by going through the test of life and death can he not be afraid of life and death.
Guo Shanfeng stared at Qin Yun, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his soul: "I can only use my fingers to kill you, but I think you are extremely talented and determined, and your future achievements will be limitless."
"Although you killed Black Tiger, it was an upright battle. As long as you swear a blood oath to surrender to me and follow me to make a comeback, I don't have to care about that grudge!"
"Come back?" Qin Yun shook his head: "You lost completely. I'm afraid all your subordinates have been killed or injured. With the strength and means of our Qin family, will you still have a chance to make a comeback?"
Until now, he no longer has any respect for the mountain wind, so he speaks very straightforwardly.
"You don't understand this!" Guo Shanfeng said with a smile: "If there is no support from a force that can compete with the Qin family, do you think I can rely on a group of subordinates to be the enemy of the Qin family for so many years?"
"Those people will die if they die. As long as I regain my strength, I can build a team again in half a year at most and still be galloping in the West County!"
An idea flashed in Qin Yun's heart: "I know, the Wu family is behind you!"
In Lantian, West County, apart from the Yan officialdom, the Qin family and the Wu family were the largest forces.
If there is any secret support behind Shanfeng, it is basically impossible for Dayan officials to do so, unless the officials guarding the West County are insane.
The Qin family is naturally even more impossible, so the only one left is the Wu family.
As for the fact that Wu's mines are often attacked and harassed by horse thieves, I'm afraid it's just to cover up.
"You are very smart!" There was a hint of appreciation in Guo Shanfeng's eyes: "I can tell you that I was originally a collateral descendant of the Wu family. Without the cultivation of the clan, I would not have achieved what I have today."
Guo Shanfeng, one of the four great bandits in Yanyun, turned out to be a descendant of the Wu family!
If this matter spreads, I really don’t know what kind of commotion it will cause.
Of course, when that time comes, the Wu family can easily push it all away - there are dead branches on the tree, and it is normal for an unscrupulous person to appear in the family.
But Qin Yun's heart sank again and again. Since Guo Shanfeng told him this secret, he had no other choice.
Either choose to surrender or die!
"Choose!" Guo Shanfeng said solemnly: "I can't stay here for too long, maybe those two guys from the Qin family will come back."
Qin Yun sighed, he raised his sword, stretched out his left hand and flicked it with his fingers!
bite!
Jian Ming groaned softly, seeming to feel the agitation and determination in Qin Yun's heart, and responded with a sonorous and powerful rejection: "Qin, a good man, will never be someone else's dog!"
This is the pride and dignity that belongs to Qin Yun. Even if he is extremely disappointed with the Qin family, he will never kneel down in front of the enemy.
His rejection was also the biggest mockery of Guo Shanfeng - you are just a dog!
Guo Shanfeng's eyes became extremely cold, and a touch of contempt sneered at the corner of his lips: "I didn't expect that you would make such an unwise choice with your intelligence. I originally thought that you were from a collateral background like me.
Give you a chance!"
He stood up slowly, reached out and pulled out the heavy sword stuck next to him: "Then, I will send you on your way!"
Qin Yun was silent and speechless. He could feel a huge invisible pressure slowly being exerted on himself. The surrounding darkness seemed to turn into violent waves, crashing and surging with silent roars!
This is the pressure of the innate strong!
Faced with such strong pressure, Qin Yun did not take a step back. He had no way to escape. He could only rely on his firm will to support himself, and tried his best to activate the little true energy in Qi Hai Dantian.
The Qinggang Sword trembled slightly, emitting a red sword light. Although it was as weak as a candle in the wind, it represented his unyielding fighting spirit!
