The moment Dongfang Fan fell from the sky, five masked men with murderous intent flashed out from the crowd, using various blades and special skills to bombard the successor of the Sword Demon who had no power to fight back——
"Sword Heart Jue·Xi Zi holds the heart!"
The Shadow Sword soared into the sky and stood there. The blade loomed and trembled in response to the sword owner's earnest heart. Immediately, countless sword energy spread across the sky, like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, shooting at all those who were close to Dongfang Fan!
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
Three of the five masked men were hit by the sword energy. However, when the sword energy hit these three people, they did not kill the enemy. Instead, they disappeared without a trace after the sword edge came into contact with the opponent. At this moment, Long Xin'er was already dead.
Catch Dongfang Fan and drop him back to Dongfang Mansion.
"Come forward again, and I will devour blood without mercy!"
A blood butterfly floated over and its shadow flickered, it was Xia Youran, the successor of the Sword Spirit who came after hearing the news!
Sword Spirit and Sword Sect, the two great sword heirs, came out with both swords to protect Dongfang Fan. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the five masked men separated one after another and escaped from Huaxia City...
…
In a shocking battle in Huaxia City, Dongfang Fan, the descendant of the sword demon, narrowly defeated the second-generation sword god Ximen Wujian. The news quickly spread throughout the human race. Moreover, the sword god himself said that the former won the two battles between the two.
, Dongfang Fan even won the second showdown empty-handed - this news created two facts.
There are no emperors or dynasties in the human race. As the first main city, the selection of the city leader of Huaxia City is based on strength as the only criterion. However, Dongfang Fan defeated Ximen Wujian, the leader of Huaxia City, in a formal occasion. At this time, he was already a veritable leader of Huaxia City.
Lord of the city!
Furthermore, the whereabouts of Longmen's orphan Long Xin'er appears in Huaxia City, and an undercurrent is bound to make Dongfang Mansion unable to calm down for a period of time.
In the secret room on the top floor of the Sunny Sky Tower, a masked man entered. The owner of the building, Wan Shuirou, stepped out. His clothes were still so bold and revealing. As soon as the masked man took off the black scarf on his face, he felt his eyes tremble.
Black, mouth open and vomiting red, splashing Wan Shuirou all over.
"What a terrifying sword energy... It has never entered my body, but it still severely damaged my heart to this extent... I didn't expect that even a little maid next to him has such strength... How hateful!! Cough cough cough
! Poof!" Shi Enguang was vomiting red again due to serious injuries. Wan Shuirou helped him sit down by the bed and reached out to push aside his clothes. He saw that there was no scar on the left heart, but a small piece of skin was seeping out.
The blood was coming out, which was very strange to see.
"Young master Shi said it was wrong. This sword energy not only entered your body, but even affected the Shengxie sword energy in your body. Although the wound is not visible from the outside, there are two sword energy in your heart at this time.
The veins are wandering and destroying. If they cannot be forced out in time and the heart veins are broken, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he will not be able to recover." Although Wan Shuirou's body was covered with blood, he did not feel any disgust at all, and immediately said
Shi Enguang's injury was judged, but the hand was still caressing the latter's chest teasingly, his upper body pressed tightly against the other person, and the charming smile on his face eroded Shi Enguang's sanity bit by bit.
"Is there any way to force him out?" Although Shi Enguang wanted to press Wan Shuirou on the bed and humiliate her immediately, the severe pain from his heart prevented him from doing so.
"Haha, the "Hehuan Jue" practiced by the slave family and the young master also has healing effects. Did the young master forget it?" Wan Shuirou's eyes were filled with autumn waves, and a sweet laugh made Shi Enguang feel itchy all over.
"Bitch! You didn't tell me earlier!" Shi Enguang stood up suddenly, slapped Wan Shuirou on the face, and then forcibly held Wan Shuirou down. The two were entangled in each other in no time, selflessly releasing each other's desire...
…
In Beixi City, inside the city lord's palace, a masked man flashed into Fang Xie's study.
"Lord City Lord, Long Xin'er appeared in Huaxia City and was protected by the descendant of the Sword Demon. His subordinates originally wanted to kill the descendant of the Sword Demon when he had no ability to fight back. Unexpectedly, Long Xin'er was holding the Shadow Sword and had reached the level of swordsmanship.
In the Sword Qi Realm, he forced back his subordinates and four other unknown killers... Uh! Poof!" The masked man knelt in front of Fang Xie, bowed his head in return, but suddenly felt his heart being attacked by a huge force.
He died on the spot after vomiting red!
Fang Xie was looking at the border map and thinking about the recent border war situation, but the news about Long Xin'er made the murderous thoughts and anxiety that had been silent for more than a year resurface in his mind.
"Huh? The sword energy entered the body without any scars... The sword energy was suppressed by the true energy but could not be exported in time... Then the alien sword energy was warmed, and it exploded just moments ago, causing the heart veins to rupture... Such exquisiteness
His swordsmanship... and the Shadow Sword... I didn't expect that Long Xin'er would change his identity, and become the successor of the Sword Sect by accident... At this time, announcing his identity must be to lure out the culprit of the Longmen Massacre... Hmm...
...If no one in this world knows the truth except me and Ximen Wujian... maybe..." Fang Xie was thoughtful, pacing back and forth in the study, frowning in deep thought...
…
In the master's room of Dongfang Bubai Mansion, the girls gathered around Dongfang Fan's room. Their faces no longer had the joy and smiles of the past, but looked sad: the head of the family was bedridden, how could they not worry?
"Fortunately, I just ran out of energy. I will be back to normal after a short rest." Xia Youran exhaled and said with relief. Then the girls patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although everything is fine, why did five killers suddenly appear and want to take Brother Dongfang's life?" Long Xin'er was very puzzled. If those people were attacking him, that would explain it. Although Dongfang Fan is well-known outside,
, except that this time he was emphatically hostile to the Lei family because of Long Xin'er, but he didn't form a deep hatred with anyone.
"I have observed that the scarves of those five people are all from the mercenary city. In other words, the killer himself may not have any hatred against Brother Dongfang, but someone has secretly assigned the assassination mission... and wanting to kill Brother Dongfang is nothing more than that.
There are two kinds of people, one covets the famous sword, and the other wants to replace it, that is, for the sake of fame!" Xia Youran analyzed, she actually wanted to talk about the third person who killed Dongfang Fan because of Long Xin'er, but because
He didn't say anything out of concern for Loong Xin'er.
"These people are really abominable! They are obviously afraid of this idiot's strength and dare not take action. They secretly take advantage of people's unpreparedness and kill them again. Don't let me know who it is, otherwise, Jiuyin God will not spare his life when caught!" Nalan
Wan'er said bitterly that when she saw Dongfang Fan fainting before, she almost fainted too. Now that she knew that Dongfang Fan was fine, she returned to her original character.
"Yeah! Que'er also helps Sister Wan'er beat the bad guys! Let them stop bullying Brother Dongfang!" Tong Que'er responded to Nalan Wan'er seriously. After a while, the two began to plan how to teach the bad guys, but they completely failed.
I forgot that I don’t even know who the bad guy is…
At this moment, Dongfang Fan's eyelids on the bed twitched and he slowly opened his eyes. Waves of exhaustion came to his mind, but his body felt nothing strange.
"Here is..." Dongfang Fan held his head and was about to get up when Xia Youran, who was sitting by the bed, quickly came to help.
"Humph! Just wake up. I was thinking about throwing away the hot soup in the kitchen. Since you're awake, just wait for me to bring it and drink it together!" Nalan Wa'er snorted proudly.
, holding Tong Queer's hand, trotted out of the door.
"Brother Dongfang, I'm sorry, because I took action without permission and made you..." Long Xin'er felt a little apologetic in her heart. She always felt that the subsequent incidents were all due to her own actions.
"This matter is not your fault. Even if you don't take action, I will take action... The people of the Lei family are too arrogant. If today's incident is allowed to pass like this, the people of the Lei family may make noises in the future...
...Xin'er, follow me to the Lei family to ask for someone in a moment, I will definitely pursue this matter to the end!" Dongfang Fan said coldly, and at this moment, there was another call from outside the door——
"Lei Sheng, the head of the Lei family, please see the city lord!"
Hearing the shouting, it turned out to be Lei Sheng himself.
"Why does Lei Sheng come now? Do you want to take advantage of the situation?" Long Xin'er frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
"It's okay, go to the hall and see what he has to say. I'm fine. It's more than enough to deal with a rock hammer. Like frost, like snow, open the door." Dongfang Fan said without paying much attention. Long Xin'er and Xia Youran both
They looked at each other and nodded, accompanying Dongfang Fan as they walked into the hall to meet Lei Sheng.
In the hall of Dongfang Mansion, Dongfang Fan was sitting on the throne of the master, with an expressionless face, majestic and solemn. Behind him stood two descendants of the Nine Swords with slight murderous intent. The moment Lei Sheng walked into the hall, he felt two faint murderous auras steadily.
Locked him.
"City guard general Lei Sheng pays homage to the city lord!" Lei Sheng stepped forward, knelt down on one knee ten meters away from Dongfang Fan, and paid homage with his hands clasped in fists, his expression respectful and without any pretense.
Lei Sheng's actions surprised Dongfang Fan. This person's attitudes were completely different before and after, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. Moreover, the "city lord" in his title also made Dongfang Fan confused.
Lei Sheng's protective character is well known to everyone in Huaxia City, especially Lei Ling, who loves him in every possible way; but this time, Lei Sheng didn't know about this incident at first, thinking it was Lei Ling causing some trouble.
Unexpectedly, after some questioning, I found out that the cause of all this actually happened to a promiscuous woman!
If outsiders knew that the scion of the Lei family, who was a dignified city guard general, caused an uproar in the city and outside the city because of a promiscuous woman, I am afraid that the Lei family would be infamous from now on. In addition, Dongfang Fan would definitely become the new city lord after defeating Ximen Wujian.
After weighing the situation, the only way to do it is to bear the thorn and apologize.
"Brother Dongfang, in the tradition of Huaxia City, regarding a city lord, as long as someone can defeat the current city lord in a formal occasion, the succession process of the city lord has been completed. Ximen Wujian naturally knows this tradition, I am afraid that this
Once defeated, he will not return to Huaxia City." Seeing Dongfang Fan's expression of doubt, Xia Youran leaned over and explained in his ear that when she was in the Xia family, she often consulted the books at home, and had no idea about the history of Huaxia City.
I do know a little bit about it.
"Oh? So that's it... Lei Sheng, please get up. I'm not interested in the matter of the city lord. You just need to find a day to retrieve Ximen Wujian and let him continue to be his city lord... But regarding Lei Ling, I
But I have no intention of just letting it go... You also know what the conditions are, and whether you want to settle this dispute or not is all up to you." It's not that Dongfang Fan is not interested in the position of the Lord of Huaxia City at all, but from now on,
It has been a long time since I was able to manage a city alone, and now that the door to these two realms is about to open, there is no room for distraction.
Lei Sheng was shocked when he heard this: the lord of a city represents the hegemony of a party, and the trinity of fame, wealth, and power is in the position of city lord. Dongfang Fan refused, which made Lei Sheng, who had spent half his life fighting for fame and fortune for his family,
How not to be surprised?
"The city lord was joking. The rules are the rules. The lord of Huaxia City has already left the name of the city lord... As for Miss Long's matter... I privately found a servant to understand the cause and effect of the matter. Only then did I realize that Xiao Quan was at fault.
, please forgive me if I have offended you before, but the ceremony of three bows and nine knocks is really..." Lei Sheng had only been so humble in his life a hundred years ago when the Human Emperor was still alive. At this time, he repeated his humble words without any hesitation.
The slightest feeling of humiliation was as natural as it should be.
"Master Lei, it's not that I don't want to forgive, it's that I can't forgive you. If I let go of today's matter, with Lei Ling's character, he can use any means to harm the people of my Dongfang Mansion when I'm out. I can understand you.
I care about the feelings of the family members, but this will not be the reason for me to give up pursuing the investigation at this time, so... I will make Lei Ling never have the opportunity to have this idea from now on. The saying of three obeisances and nine knocks is just
It's just to force him to kill him, if you can't completely eliminate his threat to Dongfang Mansion in the future, then I can only apologize." Dongfang Fan rarely restrained his tone, after all, Lei Sheng's coming this time was not aggressive.
Lei Sheng's expression paused. As Lei Ling's father, it is not easy for Lei Sheng to have a son in his old age, so he has higher expectations for his son to succeed. As for Lei Ling's character and conduct since he was born more than 20 years ago, it is not easy for him as a father.
Naturally, he saw it in his eyes and knew that what Dongfang Fan said was correct.
"It's my fault that I failed to teach my son well! If the city lord can't rest assured, I will put the dog in confinement for three years after I go back and let him reflect on his mistakes. If he is still stubborn after three years... I will let the city lord do what he wants!" Lei Shengyi
Gritting his teeth, he thought that if Lei Ling did not reflect on himself, even if Dongfang Fan stopped interfering, he would sooner or later encounter other obstacles due to his bad nature.
This time it was Dongfang Fan who was surprised. Lei Sheng, who was unable to kneel in front of him, simultaneously played three roles: the general of an army, the head of a clan, and the father of a son. The difficulties made him deal with every matter.
Always consider the gains and losses of three parties. What you gain belongs to the family, and what you lose belongs to him personally...
If Dongfang Fan felt this in his heart, he stood up from his seat, stepped forward to help Lei Sheng, who was kneeling on one knee, with both hands, and praised: "You are worthy of Senior Lei, who is known as the rock-breaking hammer. Dongfang Fan bows down to me, Lei Ling's matter,
But it doesn’t need to be three years... one year is enough. As long as he doesn’t use his brain on Dongfang Fan within one year, then this matter will be over..."
"Well...then thank you City Lord!" Lei Sheng's change in attitude towards Dongfang Fan finally made him understand a sentence: others respect me, I respect others! Many things may be far worse than handling them in a tough way.
It is wise to resolve the matter through peaceful conversation.
"Lord of Beixi City, Fang Xie! Visit Dongfang Mansion!"
At this moment, there was another shout outside the door. Long Xin'er hadn't felt anything yet, but Dongfang Fan's whole spirit became tense - the person who came was not good!
