After filling their stomachs at the restaurant, Tan Xinmeng and Qianyu returned to the city lord's mansion.
At this time, the dusk was getting darker. After Qianyu said goodbye to Tan Xinmeng, he came to the guest room. The lights in the city lord's mansion were brightly lit, as bright as day. There were no lights in Xu Shouyi's guest room, which made Qianyu a little strange.
"Did you go to bed so early?" Qianyu came to the guest room in confusion and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened as soon as he touched it.
The light shone into the room, and on the table in the middle, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair sat slovenly, holding a three-foot-long hook with blood on it.
"Wu Yue?"
Qianyu recognized the identity of the middle-aged man and immediately looked for Xu Shouyi in the room. Xu Shouyi fell under the table with a painful expression on his face, his back was severely injured and he was bleeding continuously.
"Damn it!" Seeing Xu Shouyi's tragic situation, Qianyu was filled with rage and his fists gradually clenched. He was very angry!
"I said that people who have offended me can only have one fate, death!" Wu Yue said coldly, "This man is a bastard, and no one will care about him even if he dies. I saw that he was pitiful, so I kindly gave him a life.
Whole body. You should thank me."
"I kill you!"
Wu Yue's words completely angered Qianyu. Qianyu lost his mind and the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl in his body became extremely manic and surged out like crazy.
"drink!"
A powerful and heavy fist, which was even more fierce under the influence of thunder and lightning.
"Peng!"
Wu Yue jumped into the air and easily dodged the punch, smashing the table into pieces with her fist.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Qianyu's fists immediately followed, one after another, like a violent storm. His fists were unorganized, so every punch failed.
"You dare to offend me with this little strength?" Wu Yue smiled contemptuously, "Without the help of that monk, I would chop you into pieces!"
"call out!"
After finishing her words, Wu Yue suddenly threw away her hand, and the five-foot-long hook flew out in a spiral shape. Wrapped in gray vitality, it swept towards Qianyu like a strong wind.
"Peng!"
Qianyu punched out again and collided with the long hook. The powerful shock wave knocked him away and he fell heavily to the ground.
Wu Yue's cultivation level is in the middle stage of Yuanyang realm. In a pure strength competition, Qianyu is slightly inferior. However, he was not injured. He has experienced five skin peelings, and his body's defense ability is close to that of a ferocious beast. An ordinary impact injury
Can't reach him.
"I have inquired about you. Your name is Qianyu. You are twenty-three years old. Your cultivation level is in the early stage of Yuanyang realm. You have no soul. You are good at using stick techniques. Your unique skill is the Jiuyou Spirit Suppressing Stick. There is a mysterious magic weapon hidden in your body. You can
Release thunder and lightning." Wu Yue told Qianyu's identity and moves with a calm face, which surprised Qianyu.
"Judging from your attack just now, your punches are unorganized and you obviously lack combat experience. Your attack power is really good. It's rare for your peers to have an opponent. This is your advantage. But for me, it's a duel between you and me.
, you have no advantage." Wu Yue continued to analyze, "Want to know why?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Qianyu is furious, he must avenge Xu Shouyi!
"Nine Nether Spirit Suppressing Stick!"
"boom!"
The power of the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl was suddenly released, and at the same time, a thousand-foot-sized skeleton suddenly appeared and swung out as the Qianyu Red Meteor Stick fell.
"The most powerful move? It's nothing more than that." Wu Yue grinned and summoned his soul - a silver-white giant python!
"Broken Jade Soul-Breaking Hook!"
Gray vitality surged out like a tide, all converging on the long hook. In an instant, the long hook became a thousand feet in size, as powerful as the skeleton villain!
"break!"
Wu Yue shouted loudly, and the long hook rushed out like a mountain, and collided with the skeleton villain!
"Boom!"
The nearby houses were shattered in an instant, and the deafening explosion attracted the attention of everyone in the City Lord's Mansion. Several holes were opened in the ground. Qianyu and Wu Yue were both blown away by the shock wave.
"puff!"
Qianyu climbed out of the ruins and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. Wu Yue sounded arrogant, but she did have some skills.
"Watch the hook!"
In another ruins, a figure suddenly flew out and rushed towards Qianyu with a hook.
Qianyu tried his best to block with his stick.
"clang!"
The harsh sound of gold and iron clashing was heard, and Qianyu was knocked away again, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His face was as white as a piece of paper, and he was extremely weak.
Wu Yue's condition was not much better. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked towards Qianyu with a embarrassed expression: "You are the first one who can make me seriously injured. If you die under my Wu Yue knife, you are worth it."
Already."
"go to hell!"
Wu Yue swung her hook cruelly and took out Qianyu's heart.
"call out!"
Suddenly something flew towards Wu Yue's head. Wu Yue stopped swinging his hook and turned to deal with the flying thing.
"clang!"
There was another sound of gold and iron clashing, and Wu Yue finally saw clearly that what had just flown over was a long stick.
"Master, are you okay?"
Tan Xinmeng came over after hearing the news and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, please leave quickly..." Qianyu didn't want to inconvenience Tan Xinmeng.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt my master?" Tan Xinmeng roared at Wu Yue.
"Hmph, another one is here to die!" Wu Yue smiled excitedly, then raised her hook and came towards Tan Xinmeng's killer.
"If you dare to hurt my master, I'll beat you to death!" Tan Xinmeng didn't know Wu Yue's strength and started fighting with him. Wu Yue was physically weak, but his cultivation was at the same level as Tan Xinmeng's, and his combat experience was far better than hers, so they fought
After ten rounds, she fell into decline.
"Whoosh!"
During the fight, Wu Yue used his experienced technique to cut Tan Xinmeng's left arm, leaving a long and narrow wound.
At this time, Tan Yi rushed to the scene.
"No, someone is coming!" Wu Yue reacted very sharply. When she sensed that a master was approaching, she immediately used her skills to escape.
"You hurt my daughter and you still want to run away?" Tan Yi arrived in time and slapped Wu Yue in the air, causing Wu Yue to vomit blood and die.
As expected of someone who was in the late Taiyi realm, Wu Yue was killed with one move.
"Daughter, are you okay?" Tan Yi was very worried about his daughter's safety.
"I'm fine, dad. Go and see the master quickly. The master is seriously injured!" Tan Xinmeng hurriedly came to Qianyu's side. Qianyu's breath was weak. If he didn't get treatment in time, he wouldn't survive the night.
"You go and bandage the wound on your hand first, little Qianyu, leave it to dad to take care of it." After Tan Yi gave the instructions, he immediately picked up Qianyu and carried him to the bed in the guest room.
"I have contacted the best spirit gathering master in the city and he will be here right away."
"No need, I'll just..." Before he could finish speaking, Qianyu passed out and fell unconscious.
Two days later.
"Ahem..."
Qianyu coughed twice, opened his eyes, and found that his body had almost recovered. Tan Xinmeng fell asleep beside the bed, and she had prepared medicine in her hand.
"Little friend Qianyu, come out, I have something to tell you." Tan Yi waved to Qianyu at the door.
Qianyu got out of bed gently, changed into clean clothes, then closed the door and took a walk with Tan Yi.
"Little friend Qianyu, I think my daughter is probably attracted to you?" Tan Yi said calmly.
"Why?"
"During the two days when you were injured, this girl stayed by your bedside, making soup and dressing for you, taking good care of you. You may not know that this girl is used to being served by others. She has always been used to it.
She opened her mouth when food came and stretched out her hands when clothes came. She developed the habit of being pampered and never cared about others easily. Even when I was injured and sick, she never took care of me like this."
Qianyu didn't know how to answer.
"I know you have your heart, and I don't want to embarrass you. I just hope you don't let down my daughter's sincerity."
"The younger generation must repay Miss Tan for saving her life." Qianyu was very grateful for everything Tan Xinmeng did.
"One more thing, do you know where Wu Yue is from?"
Qianyu shook his head.
"There is an unattended area in Tianyi City called Ping'anju. Ping'anju is full of villains who kill without blinking an eye. It is the base camp of the villains. You can buy many things that cannot be bought in the city. For example, some
A rare ferocious beast core, or an unparalleled high-level skill."
"Similar to the black market?"
"It's darker than the black market. Because they not only trade goods, they also trade human lives."
“Can people also do transactions?”
"Why not? As long as there are enough chips, anyone can make a deal. Among them, the evil people who trade with people have established a special organization - the Assassin's Mansion. The Assassin's Mansion ranks the assassins according to their abilities and divides them into four levels, heaven and earth.
Gold and silver. There are currently four well-known Tianzi brand assassins, nicknamed "Fenghuaxueyue". They are named Chengfeng, Canhua, Chuxue, and Wuyue."
Qianyu was a little surprised, "As expected of an assassin from Tianzi Pai, he is indeed very strong. If the city lord hadn't taken action, I would have died long ago."
"Wu Yue is an assassin from the Assassin's Mansion. He died in the City Lord's Mansion. The Assassin's Mansion will definitely come to seek revenge."
"If this happens, the city lord's mansion may not be peaceful."
"No, this matter has nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion."
"Wu Yue died in the City Lord's Mansion, why did it have nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion?" Qianyu was a little confused.
"Because I announced to the outside world that the person who killed Wu Yue was named Qianyu." Tan Yi said coldly.
"Did I kill Wu Yue?" Qian Yu was extremely shocked. He became the scapegoat for the city lord's palace.
"Yes, this is the best solution I have thought of." Tan Yi continued, "Your battle with my daughter made many people in Liuyun City know your name. After their embellished publicity, many people
In their eyes, your stick skills are unmatched in the world. Therefore, when they say you killed Wu Yue, they are surprised and will not doubt your strength at all."
"Furthermore, there are three hundred and twenty people in the City Lord's Mansion. If the Assassin's Mansion is provoked, all three hundred and twenty people in the Mansion will die. Rather than letting three hundred and twenty people suffer together, it is better for you to bear the responsibility alone. I will not
I’m not sending you to a dead end. Please try not to leave the house during this period, and I will keep you safe. As long as I’m here, the people in the Assassin’s Mansion won’t dare to act rashly.”
"I understand." After understanding the whole story, Qianyu accepted.
"Get ready. In another hour, the carnival day is about to begin. Let's gather at the Alchemy Square in the city. I'm going to change my clothes too. I'll be the referee later." After Tan Yi finished speaking, he went back to his room to change clothes.
went.
Qianyu returned to the guest room, woke up Tan Xinmeng, and asked Tan Xinmeng to take him to the Alchemy Square.
"Master, you can't fail at the first level." Tan Xinmeng warned.
"Don't worry." Qianyu was very confident. As a fourth-grade spirit gathering master, how could he still be stumped by the spirit gathering technique?
