The black stone in Xu Pei's hand obviously poses a huge threat to Yingwu, and may even have some special connection that can take away Yingwu's life.
Otherwise, Xu Pei would not dare to threaten Yingwu so arrogantly with a stone in his hand.
"Put down the life stone now, and I can spare your life."
Suddenly, Yingwu spoke, his voice was deep, vicissitudes of life, hoarse, and sad.
Chen Yang felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember whose voice it belonged to.
"I hold the life stone given to me by the skeleton. With just one thought, you can die without a burial place. How dare you threaten me."
Xu Pei looked fierce, but he did not dare to actually kill Ying Wu, because Ying Wu was his only support. If Ying Wu died, he would only end up dead when facing Chen Yang.
"Put down the life stone."
Yingwu stared at Chen Yang, but she was talking to Xu Pei, with a hint of anger and murderous intent in her tone.
"You're looking for death!"
Xu Pei's eyes widened with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was about to trigger the life stone and execute Yingwu.
At this moment, Yingwu suddenly slashed behind him with his sword. The speed was extremely fast. The sword light swept across and cut off Xu Pei's wrist.
The palm fell towards the ground, and the light of the runes flowing on the surface of the Life Stone held in the palm dimmed quickly, completely losing its luster in the blink of an eye.
"You're crazy!"
Xu Pei was shocked. He didn't expect that Yingwu would actually take action against him. What was going on? This was the killer invited by Peng Yan to kill Dongfang Xuan?
At this time, Chen Yang was also frightened and suspicious. Ying Wu's behavior was too weird. He did not relax his vigilance and was always ready to take action.
Before Xu Pei's palm fell to the ground, a cold light flashed, and Yingwu cut off Xu Pei's neck with a sword.
Along with a pillar of blood rising into the sky, Xu Pei's head also flew up, with a shocked expression on his face, and his mouth opened as if he was shouting something, but he couldn't make a sound.
Bang.
His head fell to the ground and rolled to the dark corner. Even if Xu Pei died, he still couldn't figure out why Ying Wuwu attacked him.
Chen Yang looked at Ying Wu who was sheathing his sword, with a solemn look on his face, and said, "Who are you? I should know you."
"Chen Yang, in this huge Thirteen States, I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect that we would meet here. You are still so talented. In just over two years, you have become a tyrant.
Hou, I sincerely admire you."
Ying Wu's eyes showed admiration, and his tone was full of emotion.
Hearing this, Chen Yang's expression changed, and he immediately thought of the people who came with him from Baijie to Zhonghaojie, namely Duan Yunxian, Li Shuheng, Mulanxi, Chu Gui'e, and Wan Jun.
The entire Thirteen Prefectures are so big that there is no information about where they are. It would be extremely difficult for Chen Yang to find them.
Therefore, Chen Yang did not take the initiative to search.
But he didn't expect that today in Gujiao City, the killer invited by Peng Yan would be his old friend.
He stared at Ying Wu and was silent for a moment. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Wan Jun, you are Wan Jun."
"That's right."
Yingwu nodded, without taking off the mask on his face, and said with a bit of bitterness in his eyes: "I thought who Dongfang Xuan was that they asked me to assassinate, but I didn't expect that it was you."
Chen Yang touched his cheek and said in surprise: "I have changed my appearance. How did you know it was me?"
Wan Jun said: "When I was in Huomen, I was very jealous of you. I often observed you. I could easily confirm your actions and energy fluctuations. In addition, Jiyin Palace was searching for you, so I was even more sure that Dongfang
Xuan is your disguised identity."
"What a coincidence this time."
Chen Yang laughed, feeling quite happy to see his old friend.
But looking at Wan Jun's look, he was mostly filled with emotion, not the joy of meeting again after a long separation, and even a bit bitter.
Obviously, Wan Jun's experience was not very good after he arrived in Thirteen Prefectures.
Chen Yang asked: "Wan Jun, what has happened to you in the past two years or so? Your realm has improved so fast that you have actually become an eighth-level overlord."
"This power does not belong to me, but was forcibly blessed by others. And because of these powers, my life span is less than one year."
Wan Jun smiled bitterly, glanced at the black life stone on the ground, and said: "Now, if the skeleton knows that I have not completed the task, I am afraid that my life will not even last a year, and I will be executed by them soon."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "What on earth is going on with all this?"
Wan Jun sighed, and then told Chen Yang the whole story.
It turned out that after he was teleported to Zhonghao Realm, he was in Youzhou under the jurisdiction of Yin Palace. At that time, he was seriously injured due to energy impact. Fortunately, he was saved by a killer of the skeleton.
The man who rescued him was a good man, and he originally planned to send him away after curing him.
However, his existence was discovered by the skeleton.
Wanjun's benefactor was about to expire, so the senior management of the skeleton used cruel secret methods to transfer Wanjun's benefactor's power to Wanjun.
As a corresponding side effect, Wan Jun only has three years left to live. After three years, he will slowly decompose and die.
If he didn't want to die so tragically, Wan Jun could only return to the Skeleton Altar, pass on his power to the next person, and get a safe way to die.
And the power of the entire skeleton and almost all killers is passed down from person to person in this way.
They are not human beings, but skeleton killing tools.
In the eyes of Skeleton's senior leaders, they are just containers of power and have no value.
Because most of the killers in the skeleton are forced, in order to let the employer control the killer, the senior leaders in the skeleton have refined the life stone. As long as the employer holds the life stone and activates the formation, it can cause huge pain to the killer. Seriously,
It can even kill killers.
That's why Xu Pei was so arrogant just now when he was holding the life stone.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the speed of Wan Jun's attack.
However, even though Wan Jun now has the life stone, he still cannot escape the control of the skeleton.
Because there is another life stone preserved in the skeleton, which is called the life stone.
If the killer rebels, as long as the senior members of the skeleton crush the birthstone, the killer will gradually decompose and eventually die miserably.
Hearing this, Chen Yang frowned and said, "So, if you want to get rid of the skeleton, you have to get the natal stone back."
Wan Jun shook his head and said: "I only have less than a year left, so what's the use of getting back the birthstone. What's more, although the Skeleton is just a subordinate organization of the Yin Palace, there are many masters. If you want to sneak into it, you can sneak into it quietly.
It is not easy to take away the natal stone silently."
"Now that you and I have met, how can I refuse to save you?"
Chen Yang grabbed Wan Jun's arm and said seriously: "Don't move, let me see your physical condition first."
