Gu Xizhi and Jingtan layman looked at each other and found that the other's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
Then I saw the lips of Tianlong Shenjian moving, using the method of transmitting sound into secrets to talk to Jingtan layman:
"What he used just now seems to be the Hidden Shadow Step!
"Is he a member of the Search God Sect?
“This sect leaked too many secrets back then and was eventually destroyed in the world.
"Only one Liao Chengfeng was left, doing random things every day, and later disappeared.
"This boy...is he Liao Chengfeng's disciple?"
Jingtan layman frowned:
"No, look at those ice nails... they are clearly the cold moon nails of the Moon Lord, Yin Yueniang, among the two Lords of Yang and Moon.
"But when he used it, the cold air of Leng Yue Dafa was not visible.
“Condensing the air into ice, but doing it in one go.
"The depth of his attainments is probably still higher than that of Yin Yueniang in the past.
"How could such a person worship Liao Chengfeng as his disciple? Liao Chengfeng has no such qualifications."
These two people are both good players in the world. Although they have no affiliations, they are well-informed.
After watching Jiang Ran display his martial arts skills, he easily recognized the way he came from.
However, Gu Xizhi did not quite agree with what Jingtan layman said:
"When Leng Yue Dharma was performed, the air was very cold, but this boy's internal strength was peaceful.
"Although I don't know what method he used to condense the ice nails, it must not be Leng Yue's method."
"Then do you think there is any martial arts in the world that can condense energy into ice?"
"This is too much...the [Lishuang Cold Air] in Qiuye Ice God Palace, the [Severe Frost Orchid] in Xiaochun Village of Li Kingdom, and the Qing Kingdom..."
Seeing Gu Xizhi chattering on and on.
Jingtan layman quickly interrupted:
"Shut up...the more you talk, the more you talk."
Gu Xizhi curled his lips, feeling that what he said made sense.
You can't just see that someone has condensed an ice nail and say that they must be practicing Leng Yue Dafa.
There are many kinds of martial arts in the world, and each one is good at winning.
How can we directly define it just because of a little similarity?
At this moment, the two people suddenly heard a scream coming from Chen Zixuan.
Only then did he come back to his senses from the exchange and quickly looked up.
Jiang Ran's hands were dripping with blood, and Chen Zixuan had blood channels on one of his arms.
His whole body was shaking with pain, but he was still gritting his teeth and yelling:
"You... you dare to hurt me, Blood Sword Hall will never let you go!
"Since our establishment in the Blood Sword Hall, we have never been threatened like this.
"Let me advise you...if you let me go and hold the Jiaowei Qin with both hands, my master...maybe able to spare you and leave you a whole corpse.
"Otherwise, you, you will definitely die!"
"I offer the Jiaowei Qin with both hands, but I still have to let you go so that I can leave a whole corpse?"
Jiang Ran smiled: "To be honest, I can't bear to kill you. You are really the first such interesting person I have met since I came out of the world.
"Some of those who fell into my hands knelt down and begged for mercy, and some would rather die than surrender.
"But you are still the first to insist on dying."
"You dare to kill me?"
Chen Zixuan seemed to have heard something strange, and his eyes widened for a moment.
Jiang Ran chuckled and put one hand on the handle of the knife.
Gu Xizhi's heart tightened and he quickly said:
"My little brother is here to stay..."
Before I could remember to say the word 'love', I saw a golden light flash in the night, and a human head rolled to the ground with a grunt.
Jiang Ran then turned back to look at Gu Xizhi:
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
"..."
Gu Xizhi was stunned: "Why do you want to kill him?"
"ah?"
Jiang Ran was also a little confused:
"If I don't kill him, can I really let him go? Wait until he returns to the Blood Knife Hall, gather all the troops, and then kill me again?"
"this……"
Gu Xi was speechless for a moment.
Although I still feel that Jiang Ran is not heroic enough to kill a person who has no power to resist.
But the consequences he mentioned are bound to exist, and they are beyond reproach.
Jingtan layman smiled:
"Killing well and repaying grudges with pleasure is the way of our generation."
"Vice Hall Master!"
The remaining Blood Knife Hall disciples in the field felt as if they were waking up from a dream, and couldn't help crying out in sorrow.
"You... you murdered the deputy hall master, I, the Blood Knife Hall, will never let you go!!"
The young man and woman who had been thrown to the ground by Jingtan layman vomited blood and got up from the ground, gritting their teeth and shouting angrily.
Jiang Ran ignored them and just smiled at Jingtan layman:
"Senior is so complimentary."
After saying this, he waved his hand gently:
"Kill them all."
Although the disciples of the Blood Knife Hall were said to be defeated, most of them were not seriously injured.
Especially those who put up a blood-piercing formation, they were just thrown away by the Jingtan layman, and the change in their formation caused them to fall down.
When they heard what Jiang Ran said, everyone was furious.
Immediately, they rushed forward and heard someone in the crowd shout:
"Kill them and avenge the deputy hall master!"
"Steal Jiaowei and save me and others from the guilt!"
“Tonight’s bloody battle will last until the death!!”
At this moment, the momentum was actually enough.
Unfortunately, the opponent he faced was no ordinary person.
Luo Qingyi's Elephant Divine Fist, Tang Huayi's Dahua Divine Sword, plus a Soft Water Sword.
Even if Jiang Ran doesn't take action, these people alone are no match for him.
If Chen Zixuan was not dead and they could still form formations under his command, they would still have to fight.
However, Chen Zixuan was already dead. Based on their own judgment of the situation, this formation change could not be used at all.
As a result, at the first touch, someone was killed on the spot.
In just a moment, there were already more than ten corpses on the ground.
Jiang Ran leaned aside to eat and drink like a normal person.
Gu Xizhi couldn't stand it any longer. This was clearly a massacre of the strong against the weak.
I couldn't help but take a step forward, and the sword in my hand was about to be drawn.
But at this moment, a sharp energy enveloped his whole person.
Gu Xizhi simply couldn't take this step.
Just listen to Jiang Ran's voice:
"What do you want to do, senior?"
"...They are not opponents, so why bother killing them all?"
Gu Xizhi sighed:
"As the saying goes, keep a thin line in everything so that we can meet again in the future. Don't let the situation become irreversible."
"Senior is joking."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"With this scene tonight, Blood Sword Hall and I have forged a blood feud.
"Even if we meet in the future, we will definitely be enemies.
"If we don't kill them now, why don't we wait for them to go back and reunite with the people from the Blood Knife Hall, and then fight again?
"At that time, if you want to kill them, it won't be as easy as today."
"But……"
Gu Xizhi gritted his teeth and said:
"You kill like this, but what's the difference between you and the Blood Knife Hall?"
"There is no difference."
Jiang Ran said matter-of-factly:
"Why should there be a difference? If a gentleman treats me with sincerity, I should treat him with sincerity.
"The enemy treats me badly, and I should repay him with evil.
"What the senior is saying now, do you want me to repay grievance with kindness?
"Not to mention, how to repay kindness with kindness? As for this hot-faced but cold-butt matter, whoever likes it does it, and don't involve me.
"For what they did tonight, even if they die a thousand times, they will never be innocent!"
Gu Xizhi was left speechless by Jiang Ran.
He wanted to take action to stop him, but was blocked by Jiang Ran's energy and did not dare to act rashly.
Jiang Ran's martial arts prowess made Gu Xizhi feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
It seems that if you move, you will be faced with heavy rain and thunder.
Secondly, after all, he came here to borrow the piano, not to quarrel with Jiang Ran.
Although I don't agree with Jiang Ran's bullying and killing methods, if I really want to fall out with Jiang Ran over this, there is no need to do so.
Finally, he sighed and closed his eyes, not wanting to look any more.
However, the way Jingtan layman looked at Jiang Ran was a little different.
After the last person was punched to death by Luo Qingyi, Jingtan layman finally spoke:
"Now that the foreign enemy has gone, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Tang Huayi had already rushed to the corpses around him and started to pick at the corpses to find something.
"this……"
Jingtan layman was stunned.
Gu Xizhi couldn't bear to see Jiang Ran massacre unilaterally.
He can accept it...
But he couldn't accept it. After killing someone, he still rummaged through the corpse and stole the dead person's belongings.
Jiang Ran is going to hold a tea tasting and piano appreciation party.
Regarding his name, Jingtan layman has always heard of it.
Knowing that he had a reputation as a chivalrous man, the Cangzhou Hero Association fought and killed several bandits in Feiyun Village, saving many people.
He also made a living by catching knives and captured and killed many evil demons and heretics.
But looking back now, I feel like Jiang Ran himself is not a decent person... He really can do anything.
Look back at the remaining people.
Mr. Da didn't know when he had already jumped into the tree.
After Luo Qingyi killed someone, he returned to take a nap next to the fire.
Ruan Yuqing took out a piece of cotton cloth and carefully wiped the blood on the sword blade.
Seeing them as if nothing had happened, Jingtan layman forgot what he was going to say for a moment...
Tang Huayi was quick with his hands and feet and quickly gathered the collected belongings in one place.
He took Ruan Yuqing and Luo Qingyi and started dividing the spoils.
Jiang Ran curled his lips:
"Leave Chen Zixuan's to me, I killed him."
"cut……"
Tang Huayi reluctantly threw the pile of banknotes aside:
"He is indeed the deputy leader of one of the Thirteen Gangs. He even carries hundreds of taels of silver notes with him when he goes out."
"Hundreds of taels!?"
Jingtan layman was surprised.
Tang Huayi waved his hand:
"You don't need to make a fuss. After all, this person is arrogant and thinks that no one dares to mess with him in Blood Knife Hall. He won't lose the banknote even if he carries it with him.
"Obviously I didn't expect that I would die in the world.
"And it's not just him, even these disciples of the Blood Sword Hall have a lot of money with them.
"It seems that the Thirteenth Gang is really making money."
"They do a lot of business and are involved in all walks of life."
Ruan Yuqing shook his head gently: "In comparison, our five major sword sects are far less wealthy than them, and our properties are quite limited."
"This can't be compared."
Jiang Ran came over with the wine gourd and sat down. He picked up the banknote and put it into his baggage.
Chen Zixuan doesn't have a bounty on his head, so killing him really doesn't mean much, but with these banknotes, it's not a waste of money.
Tang Huayi took a look at the baggage and realized that there was a staggering amount of money in it.
He rolled his eyes and began to consider the probability of success in stealing the banknotes secretly from Jiang Ran when he was unprepared.
Jiang Ran took a sip of wine and said:
"The sect mainly inherits martial arts and often hides in the mountains to escape the hustle and bustle.
“Some are self-sufficient, while others have industries in the city that can provide food, clothing, housing and transportation.
“But gangs started in the marketplace and used martial arts and money to gather power.
"It's different from the very beginning... Their fights are often about money. Naturally, they are much richer than the five major sword sects."
"No matter how rich you are, you can't be as rich as Baizhenhui."
Tang Huayi smiled and said:
"Now that the Blood Knife Hall has appeared, do you think Baizhenhui will also have a hand in it? If I have a chance, I can get a few rare treasures and I won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life."
Gu Xizhi felt that he couldn't listen anymore.
Where is this kind of knight-errant?
They are clearly a group of thieves!
If you are willing to speak up, say something to express your position as a knight.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
Today's matter is so serious that it's the Blood Knife Hall's fault. They wanted to steal something, threatening and doing it.
It was reasonable for him to be killed by Jiang Ran and the others.
If I have to say it, Jiang Ran and the others are too ruthless and ruthless, not even leaving a single person alive.
Finally he sighed and turned around to leave.
Jiang Ran glanced at his back and smiled slightly:
"There really are people like him in the world."
"Senior Gu has always had a very good reputation. It is said that when he was in his prime, everyone admired him whether they were enemies or friends."
Ruan Yuqing smiled and said: "It's normal that he doesn't like your behavior."
"The older generation of Jianghu people, at this age, have their own persistence after all, which is good."
Jiang Ran smiled and didn't care.
What surprised him was that there were people like Gu Xizhi in this world who lived to this age without being plotted against by villains.
It’s really not easy.
Looking back at Jingtan layman, he smiled and said:
"Senior, senior Gu has left, why don't you follow?"
"What should I do with him?"
Jingtan layman shook his head: "Besides, he is leaving now and has to catch up tomorrow. This man has been pedantic for most of his life. After all, he only has one obsession that he cannot let go of no matter what."
"Is this the senior Jinqiu the two seniors mentioned?"
Jiang Ran asked casually:
"The two seniors want to borrow Jiaowei for this person?"
"..."
After Jingtan layman was silent for a while, he finally nodded:
"exactly.
"In fact, I shouldn't say much about the past, but you are the master of Jiaowei Qin, so you don't dare to hide it."
After the man said this, he came over and sat down.
Glancing at the unconscious Man Shengming, he felt vaguely confused.
But he didn't ask, but told the story about himself, Gu Xizhi and Jinqiu in this way.
This story is actually quite cliche.
It's nothing more than a love story in which two people fall in love with a woman at the same time, but neither succeeds in the end.
If I have to say something special, that Jinqiu and Gu Xizhi are actually childhood sweethearts.
There is a five-year age difference between the two.
Jingtan layman is seven years younger than that Jinqiu.
When we first met, I fell in love with this woman at first sight and couldn't help myself.
The three people's grudges have been entangled for more than 20 years.
Seven years ago, the two people made a decision that they regretted for the rest of their lives, which was to use martial arts to determine victory or defeat. The winner would be with Jin Qiu, and the loser would die.
The two of them were no longer young people at that time, and it was surprising that they could still behave in such a childish way.
As a result, there was no winner or lose in this battle.
Because they didn't finish the fight, they learned that Jinqiu had married someone else.
While they were fighting, he sent them a letter.
He said that he couldn't bear to see them fighting for his life and death. Instead of continuing to suffer, it would be better to just forget about each other.
By the time the two of them gave up the competition and went to look for Jinqiu, it would already be too late.
The wood has become a boat, and the past cannot continue.
Jingtan layman felt sad and returned to Yaxin Xiaozhu to heal his emotional pain.
Gu Xizhi wandered around the world for two years, and finally went to Yaxin Xiaozhu to have a drink with the layman Jingtan, and then said goodbye, thinking that he would never see him again in this life.
Unexpectedly, the two people would meet again here five years later.
The two of them had not shaken hands and made peace five years ago, but they were both heartbroken at that time, so how could they care about fighting for their lives?
Seeing each other again five years later, new and old hatreds aggravate each other, and the more we think about it, the more angry we become, so a fight is inevitable.
It's just that in the past twenty years of grievances and grudges, although they hated each other, they had saved each other's lives for various reasons.
When I was young and energetic, I used to drink and talk happily about the heroes of the world.
These old events have been brought to the present, and the feelings have long been complicated and difficult to understand. Even if they fight, they never really want to kill each other.
Tang Huayi and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other, not expecting to hear such a secret.
Luo Qingyi, on the other hand, was not interested in any of this. Instead, she found Jingtan layman's words very hypnotic.
I slept more soundly, and my snoring became louder and louder, suppressing the chirping of insects and birds in the forest.
Jiang Ran looked strange, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate the Bai Yueguang in these two hearts.
In order to prevent the two from trading their lives, she actually married someone else.
Is this... Is it because you are afraid that if you marry one of them, the other one will be sad and desperate?
So no one was left alive and they were destroyed together?
Moreover, when they have reached this point, both of them have very clear intentions. Unless both of them like Jin Qiu, they will always have to make a choice.
If I could have spoken clearly earlier, I wouldn't have reached that point.
In the end, this man got married as soon as he said he would marry... It seems that there is more to this story than just the three of them.
Of course, Jiang Ran only analyzed these secretly in his mind.
It was not easy to talk casually, so he asked instead:
"Since the two of them lived in seclusion five years ago, why did they come back to the world for Jiao Wei five years later? Moreover, it was said that it was for this senior Jinqiu?"
"This is because Jinqiu suddenly sent me a letter."
Jingtan layman said softly:
"She said in the letter that she shouldn't have disturbed my purity.
"It's just that in her whole life, she has only loved Yu Qin. Now that Jiao Wei is born, she wants to see her beauty, but it's been a long-cherished wish.
"Unfortunately, she has been suffering from a serious illness and has been dying for a long time. She is lingering on the bed and cannot participate in the tea tasting and piano appreciation gathering in Sunset Ping, so she has no choice but to ask me to come forward and help her out of gratitude for the past kindness."
Jiang Ran opened his mouth thoughtfully, wondering if Gu Xizhi also had an identical letter?
