At the critical moment, Shu Zhen dropped the green sword and used all his strength to cut the blade of the Flowing Light Sword with his right hand.
"Zheng!" With a cracking sound, Ji Chen's strength was interrupted at the break, turning into a white light that shot straight into the sky, and both of them were shaken five feet away.
"Bang!" White light exploded among the clouds, and the sky and earth suddenly darkened, then quickly returned to normal.
"Ah! My sword." Ji Chen looked at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief, and the other half flew to the other side with Shu Zhen. A good sword is like adding more wings to a master, but the sword was destroyed, Ji Chen couldn't help but
Frustrated and unable to take revenge, he thought that his ten years of hard work had been in vain, and the thought of committing suicide flashed through his mind.
However, looking at the woman opposite, surprise came to my heart again.
Having just exhausted all his strength and suffered a serious injury to his shoulder, Shu Zhen lay on the ground tiredly, panting slightly. Even the desire to stand up was a luxury.
Her ancient cyan sword lay where the shining sword had broken just now.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Ji Chen's mouth, he stood up slowly, covered his chest, and moved toward Qingjian.
Watching him approaching, but unable to do anything. Shu Zhen's indifferent and lifeless heart couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation. Could it be that he was going to become the nourishment of weeds like many armed guards soldiers in the war?
Ji Chen picked up the green sword, pointed the tip of the sword at her, and walked towards her. Although he could easily deal with the enemy who killed his father now, he was worried that something might go wrong, so he subconsciously speeded up.
Just a few steps away from where the sword was abandoned, a man appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, with his back turned to him.
Her long hair is slightly curly, lingering over her delicate and porcelain neck, and her red clothes are fluttering in the wind, showing her peerless elegance in the wilderness.
The aura exuding from his body shows that his martial arts skills are extraordinary and beyond the reach of ordinary masters.
Shu Zhen was extremely shocked. Why was he here? Did he come specifically to save her? If so, then why——
Touched, surprised, and the deep-seated feelings that I had long ago. It was as if the heavy body lying on the ground had become lighter.
"Who are you? You dare to hinder my revenge, or I will send you to the underworld as well." Ji Chen couldn't help but feel extremely upset, hating that he didn't have much energy left, otherwise, he would have flown over and killed Shu Zhen long ago.
Although his tone was tough, he was still secretly surprised. He had been looking ahead, but this person appeared silently.
It's like - it's like being invisible!
Shao Kefan turned around and looked at him steadily, "You can't kill her."
"This witch is my father-killing enemy, how can I not kill her?" Ji Chen sneered, walked around the man in red, and walked towards Shu Zhen, but he couldn't help but be half-conscious of the man behind him.
However, his vigilance had no effect at all. Without any warning, his right wrist felt numb, his fingers loosened, and the green sword fell to the ground. Ji Chen was startled, and before he could bend down to pick up the sword, the green sword had already been
A long-fingered hand gently picked it up.
"You -" Ji Chen turned around angrily, his drooping hand secretly used his strength, and hit Shao Kefan on the chest with a palm.
Circles of golden light flowed out from the body of the man in red, seemingly gentle. However, as soon as Ji Chen's hand touched the edge of the light, his whole body was blown away.
"Fanhui Curse!" Ji Chen exclaimed and stared at Shao Kefan blankly. His lips trembled a few times before he stammered out a few words, "Fanhui Curse... you... you are the king."
Shao Kefan nodded slightly, "You have two choices. One is to stick to your original intention and then be killed by me like an ant. The other is to give up revenge and I will spare your life."
Ji Chen finally recovered from the shock of seeing the king. He supported his body on one knee and covered his left chest with one hand. He struggled desperately to stand up, but fell down again and again due to lack of physical strength.
"She killed my father. Even if I can't kill her, I still want to win."
"Bo? What do you think you look like now?" Shao Kefan walked up to Ji Chen and smiled contemptuously, "You are not qualified to say this."
"The king cares about the people of the world, but he doesn't know the pain of the grassroots' father being killed, and defends a witch who has committed a lot of crimes. If this spreads out, I'm afraid it will not be good for the king." Ji Chen stared at the monarch in front of him provocatively, but he could have done it
He wanted to kill his father's enemy with a knife but was easily stopped. Ten years of hard work would be ruined in one day. He hated it so much.
Regardless of whether he is a king or a king, he is nothing compared to his father.
If he couldn't take revenge, he didn't intend to live.
Shao Kefan was startled, and the expression in his eyes changed several times in an instant, but he soon calmed down as usual, "I have done many things that have damaged my reputation, but -" He leaned down and said to the angry man
The man in white smiled slightly and said, "Reverse to strengthen your reputation."
"You..." Ji Chen gritted his teeth and suddenly laughed sadly, "Hahaha... He is really a king, he can do whatever he wants! He can destroy other people's wishes at will, and kill people at will. To avenge my father, I practice swordsmanship hard.
I have been practicing law for ten years, but I didn’t expect to end up like this. That’s all, in such a hypocritical world, it makes me feel cold to live, or not to live.”
After saying that, I didn't know where the strength came from. I knelt on my knees, straightened my back, shouted "Dad", and then hit my forehead with a palm. However, the hand that killed me was blocked in mid-air by the hand that had just picked up the sword.
.
"What do you mean?" Ji Chen raised his head in anger and confusion, but saw a hint of compassion in those sharp and calm eyes.
This person actually had such a side. He was stunned and at a loss.
Although the man in red, who was called the King, quickly concealed himself and returned to his usual cold demeanor, Ji Chen still kept those memorable eyes firmly in his heart.
"Don't take revenge. Your father has turned into dust, his bones are cold, and his soul has been reincarnated as someone else. Even if you take revenge, he will not only be unhappy, but also he will not come back to life. In other words
, your revenge has no meaning."
The man in red said quietly.
Ten years of hard work means nothing?
But what he said does make sense.
Ji Chen moved, but still had a stubborn temper, "It's easy to say, then let's just forget about her killing my father?"
"I won't let you kill her, nor will I let you commit suicide. What do you think we should do?"
Shao Kefan walked a few steps in front of him, as if thinking about something, then stopped and looked at him, with a complicated smile on his face.
He wouldn't let Ji Chen kill her?!
No matter what his reasons were, Shu Zhen's eyes gradually became misty. The feeling of crying was too far away. It was decades ago when she realized that she had killed her lover with her own hands.
And that's pain, that's happiness! No matter what his reasons are.
"You - it's too much." Ji Chen clenched his fist tightly and punched the wasteland. His eyes seemed to be dripping with blood just like they were ten years ago. The blood at the corner of his mouth had begun to solidify, but there was a dull pain in his chest, plus a few
After struggling a lot, I could no longer stand up.
"I want you to work for Cang Teng from now on." Shao Kefan ordered in an irrefutable tone, with a bright light in his eyes.
Ji Chen was stunned again. Of course he was willing to work for the king. Being famous, advantageous and having status was what many swordsmen dreamed of! It was just the revenge of killing his father, ten years of hard work, how could he let go of it?
Seeing his hesitation, Shao Kefan smiled magnanimously and flew towards Shu Zhen, "Give me the answer when I come here."
"Long time you wait." He injected a burst of Qi into Shu Zhen's body through the air, and she was finally able to stand up.
"Why do you want to help me? Anyway, I only have these two years." Shu Zhen turned sideways and his face twitched slightly.
"If you are willing, I will make a lifelong agreement with you." Shao Kefan's tone actually became slightly warmer.
"Oh?" Shu Zhen raised an eyebrow, "I'm interested in hearing it."
"I want you to marry me for life. As for jade, you can have as much jade as you want."
In an instant, the indifferent killer was extremely shocked, and his face changed drastically. When he calmed down, he realized that Lord Cang Teng was not joking.
My heartbeat, which had been stagnant for decades, was finally beating fast again.
His eyes were gentle, but they were not of love.
All his love was given to that woman who had turned into dust.
"I only accept murder or bodyguard tasks. What the monarch said is really ridiculous." Shu Zhen felt humiliated, took the green sword in his hand, and left angrily.
"I mean, I want to marry you. And you no longer have an employer." The cold words made her stop suddenly, and the hand holding the green sword trembled slightly.
She knew very well that she had heard correctly.
However, she also knew that he did not love her.
What on earth is going on? Enjoying endless jade - she suddenly figured it out - this has something to do with her killing King Ling.
But he doesn’t seem like a grateful person!
No matter what, it is a blessing to be able to stay with him for the rest of my life!
For the first time, Shao Kefan felt that he had made a mistake. In order to keep Shu Zhen, he had to adopt a slightly ambiguous tone.
In fact, no matter how you say this sentence, it will make people's hearts beat.
Shu Zhen turned back to him quietly, soft waves flashing in her eyes that were always as silent as tombs.
Shao Kefan frowned, "I want Jichen to do something for me, so just be careful with him."
"Of course, he won't let me go easily."
The young man who had just tried desperately to kill her was now looking at the two people walking towards her.
The wind blew from different directions, and the weeds in Lili made no sound at all. They just swayed their withered and yellow bodies randomly. Shao Kefan stared into the distance, thoughtful, and his expression was so calm that he did not look like a person who was about to get married.
Shu Zhen looked at him silently, with that sad look in his eyes, he must have thought of the dead woman.
"King, Ji Chen is willing to listen to your orders!" After adjusting his breath for a moment, Ji Chen was able to move around. He lowered his head slightly in front of Shao Kefan and glanced hatefully at the woman in blue next to him.
He heard clearly the brief conversation between the two just now.
"Okay! Those who know the current affairs are heroes, just think that your ten years of hard work were spent to come to this king!" Shao Kefan stared at Ji Chen's eyes, seeming to have seen the bottom of his heart, "Take your people
They will all be transferred to the palace, and I will assign them different positions according to their abilities."
