Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 161: Kill the Evil

"Pfft-"

Jiang Xiuyuan drew out his sword. The disciple in front of him looked in disbelief. Finally, he fell down unwillingly with a dull sound, and his body was covered in blood.

The play being performed at this time was "Sword", which was very popular in the mortal world. It basically told the story of a swordsman fighting evil. The shadow puppet general liked the play very much and actually told the content of the play to the monk he was playing.

Jiang Xiuyuan and two other disciples were assigned the roles of villain and victim.

Jiang Xiuyuan naturally knew about the shadow puppet general's reminder, but he thought it was too troublesome, and naturally, the two disciples died in his hands.

Jiang Xiuyuan shook off the blood on the sword with a nonchalant expression, as if he was not attacking a living person but an ant on the roadside. He glanced around casually, looking for the "swordsman" in the script.

Suddenly, I bumped into the sight of someone coming from a distance. The other person was wearing a blue-white brocade robe with light golden tassels outlining the edges of the cuffs. I don't know when he changed his hairstyle. His silver hair was tied with a darker ribbon. Only the hair on his forehead was tied into a small braid at the back. There was a piece of white jade tied with a long tassel around his waist. His eyebrows were sparse, and his clothes were like flowing clouds. He had the charm of the clouds and the beauty of jade and gold.

It was Liu Jiqian... Jiang Xiuyuan had a smile on his face, but his hand could not help but tighten the sword in his hand - I don't know if Senior Brother Liu saw it, and how much he saw...

Liu Jiqian was standing on a high place, a platform built for him. Jiang Xiuyuan was below and needed to look up. Maybe it was because of the angle, but his usually warm amber eyes now looked a little cold - Jiang Xiuyuan frowned.

This is the climax of "Sword" "Beheading the Evil", the final showdown between the swordsman and the villain. The shadow puppet general is in high spirits, and the other shadow puppets acting as villains are staggering and standing in position behind Jiang Xiuyuan.

"Dang——" With a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere. Liu Jiqian used the force to spin around and with a random move, the sword light turned into a silver streak, slashing towards Jiang Xiuyuan in all directions. All the shadow puppets that were close to him were shattered.

Jiang Xiuyuan blocked the sword and felt numbness in his palm. His cheek was also scratched painfully by the sword energy. There were dense wounds above the hand holding the sword.

When he looked up, Liu Jiqian had already jumped down from the platform. He hurriedly prepared to block - the air was suddenly filled with sharp friction sounds, all kinds of skills and moves were used, the momentum was magnificent, and the sharp sword energy attacked silently. The whole space was filled with sword marks. Light flowed at the tip of Liu Jiqian's sword, suppressing Jiang Xiuyuan to death.

"One move is courage, two moves are ardor, and three moves are fearlessness to break the bitter cold. The wind melts away the snow, the frost dissipates, and all obstacles are cut off by the sword." The shadow puppet general sang the lines behind the curtain, shaking his head.

The sword energy seemed to be endowed with life, circling freely around Liu Jiqian's body, lifting his clothes and making them flutter. For a moment, people had an illusion that he was about to fly away on the wind by dancing with the sword.

Jiang Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of Liu Jiqian's previous appearance on the battle power list - the sword led to the twenty-three hanging moons, and with just one point, the Spring and Autumn Period was overturned, and the wind rose up on the stage, the sword came from eight hundred miles away, and one move cut through the ages, and everyone in the room was shocked.

The vast snowfall is two ounces less wild than him, and it flows eastward with a lofty thought. His majestic character draws the sword through the ages, and the string is sheathed, and the clanging tune continues. However, he chooses to cut the water with this heart, and goes against the red dust, and his mind follows the wind from the four seas and three mountains - there is no place in the world where he will not go.

From then on, a genius of his generation became famous with one sword, like an unattainable hanging moon, for other geniuses to only look up to him.

Liu Jiqian's feet were not stained with dust, and he was as light as a floating cloud. Watching from afar, it seemed that the clouds from somewhere had accidentally drifted down to the mortal world. With a swish, by the time Jiang Xiuyuan reacted, the tip of the sword had already reached his throat.

Jiang Xiuyuan broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw the coldness in Liu Jiqian's eyes. His intuition made him subconsciously turn sideways, and he saw a deep sword mark on the spot just now.

Liu Jiqian wanted to kill him! Jiang Xiuyuan was shocked by the sudden thought, but looking at Liu Jiqian who didn't say a word from beginning to end and had cold eyes, Jiang Xiuyuan had to admit this idea.

His senior brother Liu wanted to kill him.

"Senior Brother Liu, why?" Jiang Xiuyuan felt an inexplicable roar of anger in his chest - people are so strange, they can betray themselves, but cannot tolerate the so-called "betrayal" of others.

The shadow puppet general rolled his dark eyes and looked at the two of them without saying a word to stop them.

Liu Jiqian curled his lips and smiled, but there was no trace of gentleness in his smile: "Why? Don't you know best?"

"How should I know?" Jiang Xiuyuan asked vaguely.

"Yeah, I'm afraid you've killed too many people and you can't remember them all." Liu Jiqian sneered, with obvious sarcasm in his eyes.

Jiang Xiuyuan's face darkened. He didn't know if it was because he was exposed or because of this side of Liu Jiqian that was revealed, or maybe both.

"The fittest survive, and the unfit die. As long as the goal is achieved, the means are unimportant."

Jiang Xiuyuan even smiled to cover up his better plans behind the scenes.

Liu Jiqian suddenly smiled: "You are right. According to what you said, I feel relieved to take action - Junior Brother Jiang was so insightful before he died."

Jiang Xiuyuan's expression froze, and he looked at Liu Jiqian in disbelief. After a long moment, his voice became hoarse.

"For whom?"

"Yes and no."

"Lu Wensheng?" Jiang Xiuyuan was certain that Liu Jiqian was doing this for someone else, and he was just joking when he said Lu Wensheng's name.

"Yes, it seems that he has a very close relationship with you..." Jiang Xiuyuan said to himself, and suddenly he smiled evilly.

"You probably only know what happened after that time in the secret realm, right? Senior Brother Liu may not know that the people you met in the previous secret realm were also sent by me. Oh, by the way, his bow had problems during the previous meeting. I did it, but he was lucky. Otherwise, if it had succeeded, his hand would have been broken long ago..."

Liu Jiqian narrowed his eyes, a cold chill covered him, murderous intent emerged, the atmosphere was tense, and the long sword at his side shot out, like a white silk passing through the air. With a clang, the long sword brazenly pierced into Jiang Xiuyuan's shoulder.

Jiang Xiuyuan groaned, knelt on one knee, covered his shoulder, looked down at the bright red blood, his eyes reddened, and looked up at Liu Jiqian with gritted teeth.

"But Senior Brother Liu, I am sincere to you. I have never thought of killing you. I like you and love you..."

"Love?" Liu Jiqian felt nauseous when he heard this word.

"What you call love is already infiltrated by self-interest and desire, but you still beautify it with great words, which can even deceive yourself - the greater your words, the more morbid the so-called love is."

Jiang Xiuyuan was stunned. Liu Jiqian's face was hidden in the light and shadow, and his amber-like eyes in the dark seemed even brighter and more beautiful, with compassion and indifference.

He looked at Liu Jiqian with his eyes slightly lowered. The voice was ethereal, but it went straight into his ears.

"Don't tell me about your love, shut your mouth, it's lying."

(To explain, Liu's behavior is not OOC. Jiang did a lot of disgusting things, and Liu knew what Jiang would do to him. Before, for the sake of the sect's reputation, sect rules and other factors, he did not have the conditions to do it. This time, the shadow puppets just provided the environment, and Liu had the intention to kill Jiang! The intention was layered, whether it was for himself, for the deer, or for the people who were killed!)
