Chapter 1341 Too Weak
Shenjian Peak, Broken Love Cliff.
Li Chuyi stood silently on the cliff, his eyes not looking at the scenery in the distance, but staring at the ground beside him in a trance.
In the eyes of others, what he was looking at was nothing special, no different from the surrounding rocks, but in his eyes it was very different, because it was where Yu Yao had stood.
However, it was not himself who stood in his position at that time, but Yu Hao.
However, the old place is still there, but the beauty is gone.
How many times did he ask himself, if he had not hidden in the bushes in the distance, but jumped out and made his feelings clear, just like Hai Wufeng, would everything be different afterwards?
Now revisiting the old place, the shadow of the beauty standing in front of him vaguely appeared in front of him, Li Chuyi asked himself again, and the answer remained the same.
I don't know.
The dead are gone and it is hard to return, time flows and water cannot be recovered, no matter people or things are destined, it is impossible to explore whether changing the conditions will have another result, no matter how realistic and complex the logic is, it is just fantasy, and it will never become a fact to replace the current situation.
Fortunately, he still had a chance to make amends. Whether true or false, Dao Yanming gave him a glimmer of hope, and he was the only one who did so.
"If there is such a day, I hope I am still myself and can still remember who you are..."
Lightly covering his chest, a little sadness was revealed in his faint voice.
He was very glad that he "brought" Yu Yao with him, and he was also very sad about his almost doomed ending.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and someone walked slowly.
Li Chuyi did not look, and he was still immersed in the sad mood. Until the person stopped about two feet away from him, he slowly came back to his senses and suppressed his emotions bit by bit into his heart.
"You shouldn't have come." Tan Xiu said, his tone was calm and self-assured, but his eyes were extremely solemn.
Long before Zhao Yi sent people, he and Bu Ying got the news that Baijie Taoist was out. As the new ancestors, they did not hesitate and immediately set off to Baicao Peak.
Unexpectedly, they heard the bad news halfway, Baicao Peak was lost, and the man slaughtered the whole mountain. In shock, the two speculated that the identity of the man was most likely Li Chuyi based on the words of the surviving disciples, and also speculated that Li Chuyi's next target was most likely Shenjian Peak or Feixue Peak, so the two immediately changed their route and split into two groups. Bu Ying went to Feixue Peak, where there were many female disciples, while Tan Xiu went to Shenjian Peak, where there were more possibilities.
As a result, Tan Xiu came to the right place.
But he was also late.
He received an urgent call for help before he arrived at Shenjian Peak. When he arrived, the mountain was already halfway red.
Following the guidance of the frightened Shenjian Peak disciples, he followed the trail all the way to the Broken Love Cliff, and finally saw the familiar figure with a tiger face covering his face, and also saw the three-foot green sword in the other party's hand that made him remember it clearly. At this time, he finally confirmed that his guess was right. The intruder was really Li Chuyi.
Shocked by the unfathomable strong pressure emanating from the other party, Tan Xiu approached and subconsciously said that sentence.
The short four words sounded like a warning and a verdict, and he didn't know which meaning was more. Intellectually, Li Chuyi had done evil to Taixu, so he had to kill him to show the public and boost the prestige of the family. However, his instinctive intuition always made him feel nervous. Deep in his heart, he could not help but hope that the other party would leave. If possible, he did not want to fight with him.
Besides, Baijie Daoren was not here, and he did not know whether to kill Li Chuyi or keep him.
Hearing the question, Li Chuyi slowly turned his head. The pair of cold eyes under the tiger face made Tan Xiu's heart tighten. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would find it hard to believe that this person would be the naughty and jumpy boy before. The current Li Chuyi made him feel like he saw Ye Zhichen when he first came to Taixu Palace.
No, Ye Zhichen was not as cold as him.
"Where is the old thief Baijie?" Li Chuyi asked, more calm and self-assured than Tan Xiu.
He turned his head and looked around as if he was looking for the trace of Baijie Daoren. After a while, he did not find anyone. He narrowed his eyes slightly and aimed his cold eyes at Tan Xiu again.
"Didn't come?"
Although he was shocked by the pressure from the other party, Tan Xiu, as a contemporary ancestor, was still very dissatisfied with Li Chuyi's disrespect. The deep-rooted impression and the concept of respect and inferiority made him frown in displeasure, and said coldly: "Senior brother is busy, and he doesn't need to deal with you. Just surrender, considering the past relationship between you and my Taixu Palace..."
"Senior brother?"
Li Chuyi's eyes flashed after interrupting without any courtesy, and then he showed a sudden realization.
"So it turned out that Gao was promoted. No wonder he was so confident and his eyes were blinded."
After saying that, without waiting for Tan Xiu to scold him, Li Chuyi asked again indifferently: "The last time, Baijie? Is it in Lingxiao Peak?"
"Unrepentant boy, wait until I control you, and I will take you to confess to my senior brother!"
Tan Xiu attacked with anger, and did not relax his vigilance at all. He used all his strength when he attacked.
The shadow had not yet dispersed, but the man had already approached Li Chuyi, and he used the method of the sky with his hands, pulling the power of the surrounding heaven and earth to press towards Li Chuyi with his hands.
"Kneel down!"
The roar with full of energy was majestic and confident. Tan Xiu was confident that he could at least give this young man who had not moved at all a warning. And his hands actually fell on Li Chuyi, but the result was unexpected, because there was no result at all.
Except for a slight shake of his body, Li Chuyi stood calmly in the distance, looking at him coldly, without any sign of injury.
Tan Xiu's heart was shaken. Just as he was about to withdraw and attack again, he saw a black shadow rushing towards his throat. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his throat and a softened neck, and his head drooped down involuntarily.
With a sweep of his mind, Tan Xiu was horrified. He found that his throat and cervical vertebrae were hollowed out. His head, which had lost its support, was only left with some flesh and skin hanging on his body. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. Even with his cultivation, this was a serious injury that could not be recovered in a short time.
He desperately urged his Dantian to dodge and retreat quickly, and at the same time sent several secret messages for help to call Bu Ying to rescue him quickly, but he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen and was pulled back abruptly. The head hanging on his shoulder watched helplessly as Li Chuyi emptied his Dantian with his bare hands. The Dao seeds he had cultivated for a lifetime were thrown into his mouth like candy beans and disappeared. Tan Xiu's mind was blank for a moment. After a moment of distraction, he hurriedly used the secret technique to let his soul leave his body, giving up his body and hoping that his soul could escape.
Before the soul left his body and escaped, a big hand grasped it in his hand, and at the same time, Li Chuyi's calm and indifferent voice sounded from above his head.
"Too weak."
Looking at the struggling soul in his hand, Li Chuyi had mixed feelings under his calm surface.
Remember the last time he came, Tan Xiu beat him like a grandson and kneaded him at will, but this time, their positions were reversed. Tan Xiu, who had made him so anxious at the beginning, now looked like a stronger grasshopper in his eyes, able to fly and jump, but not posing any threat.
The feeling of power had never been so clear, and a trace of excitement and complacency could not help but rise in his calm heart. In the past, the people he faced were much stronger than him, and it was rare for him to show off his martial arts nakedly like now. Now he easily took down Tan Xiu with a wave of his hand, and he found that he was not as weak as he thought.
But soon, the excitement and complacency were replaced by coldness. It was because of the comparison with Tan Xiu that he could feel Dao Yanming's strength more clearly, and a deep sense of powerlessness filled his heart.
The way he looked at Tan Xiu was the way Dao Yanming looked at him.
He could manipulate Tan Xiu's fate as he pleased, and he could live or die, but in Dao Yanming's eyes, wasn't he just a toy?
A feeling of sympathy arose spontaneously, but he had no intention of letting Tan Xiu go.
Dao Yanming wanted him to kill people, and Tan Xiu was also a human being, so he was naturally on the list of slaughter. And they had a feud before, so Li Chuyi would never let him go.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck."
This sentence was said to Tan Xiu, and also to himself. After saying this, his mind reached out to search his soul. After a while, his mind returned to the sea of consciousness with the broken soul and silently refined it. Li Chuyi's eyes became colder and colder.
Baijie Taoist ran away.
Although Tan Xiu thought that Baijie Taoist had gone out for something, Li Chuyi knew very well that the old guy had expected him to come back and hid in advance, just like Jinlong.
It's just that Jinlong wanted to stay out, while Baijie Taoist was Dao Yanming's running dog. Li Chuyi didn't know whether Dao Yanming had instructed him to do so, but in any case, Baijie old thief couldn't be killed for a while.
Looking down at the corpse on the ground, Li Chuyi sighed softly and shook his head slowly. I don't know if it's because his mouth has become picky or he's too full. Since he got the heart of the Nine Phoenix, his body is no longer as eager for the vitality of external things as before.
It was good not to have to "eat people" anymore, but every time he killed someone, he couldn't destroy the corpse. He let the corpse keep the miserable state before death and looked at him with different expressions. Kindness and conscience always came out, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Whenever this feeling came up, he would think about himself and then he would be relieved.
Compared with him, these people were much happier. They died and they really died. They didn't have to choose to die like him.
Every time he thought about it, he felt much more comfortable. Just like now, he shook his head and looked at Tan Xiu for the last time. He turned around and left without any worries, and got up to walk towards Xueyang Peak.
There was a bull demon still sealed on Xueyang Peak, and there was also an ice silkworm under Feixue Peak, but compared to slaughtering a group of women, he felt more comfortable to go to Xueyang Peak to cause trouble.
This might be the last trace of conscience in his heart.
After he left for a while, Bu Ying, who received a call for help, finally arrived at Shenjian Peak. She rushed along the bloodstained mountain road, and when she found the Broken Love Cliff, she suddenly stopped and stood still.
Blood, horrible corpses, and fear and unwillingness in the dilated pupils.
It was Tan Xiu.
Seeing her best friend who she had known for hundreds of years lying on the ground like a rag doll, Bu Ying felt cold all over and her legs were weak. She shook slightly before she calmed down again.
She knew Tan Xiu's cultivation too well. She could imagine how powerful he was to hurt her old friend like this.
At this time, another disciple came to report. He was shocked at Tan Xiu's miserable condition, and after trying his best to suppress the horror in his heart, he bowed his head and reported in a hurry, conveying the news that Li Chuyi appeared on Xueyang Peak in detail.
After speaking, with Bu Ying's nod, he fled away quickly, and never dared to look at the red and white thing again from beginning to end, but a piercing voice echoed in his heart.
Ancestor Tan Xiu...is dead!
Whether intentionally or not, Bu Ying did not warn him not to leak the news here, and let him leave the entrance alone and stare at Tan Xiu's body in a daze.
Li Chuyi rushed into Xueyang Peak, and Xueyang Peak was in danger. Zhao Yi rushed there and made a request to her, hoping that she could go to Xueyang Peak with Tan Xiu to help suppress Li Chuyi.
Zhao Yi didn't know that Tan Xiu had died yet, and she just found out, so she hesitated.
As the Taixu Patriarch, she should go, but as a cultivator...
Should she go, or not?
