Qin Yikun and Xiao Xuelin were staring intently at the huge smoke and dust produced after the explosion, searching for Yao Yingjie's figure in it.
After a while, the smoke and dust basically dissipated, and a huge sunken pit appeared on the ground below the explosion. The shape of the pit was exactly the same as the blazing mark emitted by Haochen River just now. In the center of the pit, a figure was kneeling on one knee, supporting his body with a giant sword. This person is none other than Yao Yingjie.
"Ahem..." Yao Yingjie coughed twice. At this time, his breath was a little disordered, and he was obviously injured. Just before the palm wind struck the ground, he urgently mobilized the giant sword and sword to protect his body. Although it blocked the scorching fire element invasion, the impact of the big explosion above, coupled with the huge pressure of the palm wind, still overwhelmed him. The small loss made him look a little embarrassed at the moment.
"The seventh level seal..." Recalling the flame energy all over Hao Chenchuan's body and staying in the sky for several seconds, Yao Yingjie said to himself: "It's not just the seventh level, it's infinitely close to the eighth level. I haven't seen him in two years. This lunatic has actually reached this point!”
At this time, the smoke and dust had disappeared. Another figure appeared dozens of meters away from the depression, it was Haochenchuan. I saw that the clothes on his right shoulder were rotten, and the entire shoulder was exposed, and there was a red scar full of blood on it. The blood was slowly sliding down his right arm to his fingertips, falling drop by drop. It seemed that even though the sword energy was still strong, he suffered a lot of trauma. This was because he reacted quickly and avoided in time. Otherwise, the consequences would only be more serious.
In this fight, the two of them obviously wanted to kill each other... Did the two of them have any disputes before?
"Hmph! This sword energy is so sharp." Hao Chenchuan muttered to himself, covering his right shoulder with his left hand. He used the Flame Hell series of special moves and originally thought it would end the battle. He didn't expect Yao Yingjie to be so strong. However, this made him even more excited.
After a while, Yao Yingjie dragged his giant sword out of the pit and faced Hao Chenchuan again. Hao Chenchuan looked at Yao Yingjie, who was also a little embarrassed, and chuckled: "Not bad, you can withstand my move. It seems that you haven't neglected your training in the past two years."
"Please keep me in mind! I'm so flattered!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay! Then, what are you going to do next?!"
Having said that, Hao Chenchuan suddenly took action, and he spread his arms upwards. In an instant, multiple fire elemental energies that were so huge that Yao Yingjie felt a little palpitated quickly gathered between Hao Chenchuan's arms from all directions. In just a few seconds, A dazzling flame ball has gathered above the Haochen River. As the energy continues to gather, the fire ball slowly expands and emits a very dazzling light. From a distance, it looks like a small sun, with a radius of one kilometer. The area was illuminated by this fireball as if it were daytime.
The energy gathered became stronger and stronger, even causing some space vibrations, and sounds like the roars of wild beasts were faintly visible...
Looking at all this, Yao Yingjie frowned and shouted angrily: "Stop! You madman! Do you want to destroy this place?"
At this time, Hao Chenchuan completely ignored Yao Yingjie's words. He is ready to take action!
Seeing that things could no longer be stopped, Yao Yingjie's heart sank, and a huge energy aura burst out. The pupils of his eyes exuded soft golden light, and at the same time, a bright blue stream of light shone on the giant sword. Then, dragging the giant sword, Yao Yingjie quickly ran forward for a few steps and then suddenly jumped up high. Holding the giant sword tightly with both hands, he slashed downwards with all his strength as his body fell towards Haochen River. At the same moment, Hao Chenchuan held up a fireball half a foot in size with both hands and tried to push it towards the approaching Yao Yingjie...
Boom! !
Suddenly, bursts of thunder rang out in the sky, and a thick thunderbolt with dazzling light poured down from the sky, hitting the two people below. The two people who were about to come into contact below also suddenly noticed the changes in the sky, and immediately released their skills and made a retreat gesture...
boom! The thunder struck the ground, causing a violent explosion. Although the two people had noticed it in advance and retreated, the lightning was too fast and the energy was very powerful. The shock wave and scattered electric current generated by hitting the ground still affected the two people who were not far apart, and they were immediately shaken. Move back more than ten feet.
In the tavern in the distance, Qin Yikun saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief: "He's finally here. But..." Then he frowned slightly: "Why is he here?"
Seeing Qin Yikun's expression, Xiao Xuelin asked: "Brother Qin? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, they should stop. Come on, let's go take a look."
…………
After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, a figure appeared there, motionless, where the thunder had just fallen. Because he was affected by the residual current, Haochenchuan still felt a little numb all over his body at this moment. He looked at the figure and asked angrily: "Why are you here? You are not staying at Feng Ling, why are you here to join in the fun? !”
"If I wasn't in Akagi at this time, would you two have to completely destroy this place before you stop?" After hearing Hao Chenchuan's question, the figure in the middle spoke.
Yao Yingjie on the other side took a closer look. After a moment, he said in surprise: "Hua Tingfei? You are actually in Chicheng?"
The man named Hua Tingfei smiled bitterly when he heard Yao Yingjie's words, and replied: "Are you two surprised that I am in Chicheng? Can't I have a mission here?"
"Don't you know that private fighting is prohibited among heroic heroes? In a place like this, if civilians are harmed, who will bear the consequences?"
Upon hearing Hua Tingfei's accusation, both of them looked indifferent. Seeing the two people like this, Hua Tingfei was also a little helpless and said: "You two have always been entangled when you were in the academy. How many times have you dueled? How long has it been since then? You are still doing this. How can you?" Does it make sense?”
When Hao Chenchuan heard this, he stared at Hua Tingfei and retorted: "Does it make sense? Do you need to make irresponsible remarks? Who are you? How can you understand what is going on between us? !”
When Hua Tingfei heard this, he was a little angry at the moment and said: "I don't understand, but it is a fact that you two have had many private fights. They are both brave men of Red Phoenix, and they are both from the same academy. Comrades, you two are actually able to kill each other. I don’t care what happens between you, whether it’s just a private fight or whether you kill each other, and if we start a war here, I have the right to deal with you. I don’t accept it. , you can appeal, I’m waiting!”
"Tch~" Hao Chenchuan looked like he didn't buy it at all.
Yao Yingjie on the side said: "If you can control this lunatic, I will be happy to cooperate with you. Unfortunately, you can't control him."
"Yingjie! Are you okay?"
Suddenly, a slightly anxious voice sounded behind him. Yao Yingjie turned around and saw Xiao Xuelin and Qin Yikun also arriving here at this time. Xiao Xuelin then took Yingjie's hand and carefully looked at Yingjie's body. Looking at Yingjie's slightly embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little... distressed?
"Fortunately, it's not a big problem. I'll just adjust my breathing later." Seeing Xiao Xuelin so worried about him, Yingjie felt warm in his heart and said.
"Hua Tingfei. I didn't expect that I called the police and called you here. Is it such a coincidence?" Qin Yikun, who was beside Xiaoxue, looked at Hua Tingfei not far away and said jokingly.
Hua Tingfei saw it was Qin Yikun and smiled helplessly: "Brother Qin, what a coincidence. I happen to have official business in Chicheng. I just received an order from above to come here to deal with emergencies. I was still wondering what it could be. An unexpected incident resulted in the two of them fighting here." Then, Hua Tingfei spread his hands, looking a little helpless.
Qin Yikun said: "Brother Qin? Haha, I don't dare to call you that, I can't afford it."
"..." Hua Tingfei saw that Qin Yikun still seemed to be a little concerned about some of the past things, and he was speechless at the moment, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that it was impossible to continue the fight, Hao Chenchuan looked at Yao Yingjie across from him, his eyes drifting to Xiao Xuelin next to him from time to time. After a while, he said: "Yao Yingjie, that's it for today. This duel is another one." It’s a shame that it was ruined by some ignorant people.”
"I don't think it's a pity." Yao Yingjie shot back.
Hao Chenchuan ignored Yao Yingjie's reply and continued: "I hope that next time we meet, we can decide the real winner. In this way, I will always regard you as my strongest opponent! Remember, this This is the fate between you and me, no one can escape it!"
Afterwards, Haochenchuan began to slowly retreat, saying as he walked: "Before I leave, I want to inform you that you will soon receive an urgent delivery job. Be careful. If you are careless, you will die." After saying that, Hao Chenchuan chuckled, turned around and left without looking back.
Yao Yingjie had some doubts about the last words Hao Chenchuan said. He didn't know how the other party could say such things. What kind of job would he have? How did he know? And what does the phrase "you will lose your life" mean?
"Brother Qin, I'm here, but you still don't invite me to sit with you?" Hua Tingfei walked up to Yao Yingjie and the others and said to Qin Yikun.
Qin Yikun pointed in the direction of the tavern and said, "Look, why are you invited? This is such a mess."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I'm not picky." Hua Tingfei said with a smile. Then, he said to Yingjie: "You'd better adjust your breathing quickly because of your injury, otherwise accidents may easily occur."
"Thank you." Yao Yingjie replied lukewarmly, and then walked towards the tavern with Xiao Xuelin and Qin Yikun. Seeing this scene, Hua Tingfei shrugged his shoulders with a look of helplessness, and then followed him.
…………
Qinji Tavern, rooftop on the third floor, Yao Yingjie's right arm is wrapped with a bandage. At this time, he has just woken up from the state of Qi therapy. He feels that the injuries in his body have improved slightly and his breath has stabilized. He sat on the low wall on the outermost side of the rooftop, his legs hanging on the outer wall, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, seemingly in a trance...
"Yingjie? Have you finished healing your injury? How do you feel?" Xiao Xuelin suddenly appeared behind Yingjie. She saw Yao Yingjie was in a daze and asked with a smile.
After coming back to his senses, Yao Yingjie turned around and saw Xiao Xuelin. He smiled and turned around and said, "Yeah. It's almost done. The more important injuries are basically fine, and the rest will be healed within a day or two."
"Oh? Is it so magical?" After hearing Yao Yingjie's words, Xiao Xuelin held her chin in her hands beside Yao Yingjie, leaned over the low wall, and asked curiously: "Don't you need to see a doctor or something?"
Yao Yingjie replied: "Sacred warriors basically know Qi therapy, which is to use their own internal power to operate in a certain way inside the body to heal some less serious injuries. Naturally, there is no need to trouble those professional doctors, Healers and stuff like that.”
"Huh? Your brother is also a brave man. Didn't he tell you these things?"
"Him? He doesn't tell me what he does all day long. In my impression, every time he returns home from a mission, he never gets injured. So, I really don't know that there is such a thing. "When Xiao Xuelin thought of her somewhat "unfashionable" brother, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said.
Looking at the moon in the night sky, Xiao Xuelin asked gently: "Yingjie, you... who else is there in your family? Are you from Chicheng? From what Brother Qin and others said, you seem to have been living alone? "
After hearing Xiao Xuelin's question, Yingjie was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "My family... was originally in Chicheng. I have an older brother, and a mother... how should I say? My father... is no longer here, he said It has been more than ten years since he died in a secret mission... My mother now lives in her hometown. I will go back to her place to see her when I am not busy and have free time. And My brother...has been missing for more than ten years. Over the years, I have been looking for him, but I have never found any valuable clues. He seems to have suddenly evaporated..."
"I'm sorry...I...I don't know..." Xiao Xuelin said with some regret after hearing what Yao Yingjie told about himself.
"You don't need to apologize. It's okay. After all, we just met and you didn't know anything about it beforehand. After so many years, I'm used to it." Hearing Xiao Xuelin's slightly annoyed words, Yao Yingjie hurriedly interrupted with a smile on his face. she comforted.
"Yes." Xiao Xuelin nodded, sighed softly, and looked forward. Yao Yingjie looked at Xiao Xuelin next to her. Her almost perfect face, set off by the moonlight, made people even more enchanted.
After a moment, Xiao Xuelin asked again: "Who was the person who had a conflict with you just now? Is he your enemy?"
"Ah?!...He, um...how should I put it...can't be considered an enemy..."
Yao Yingjie, who was in a trance as he looked at Xiao Xuelin's mesmerizing face under the moonlight, suddenly heard Xiao Xuelin's question, came back to his senses and answered hurriedly.
"Isn't it?...I heard from Brother Qin and others that this is not the first time this happened to you two today. Is there any problem between you two? Who is he?" Xiao Xuelin asked curiously.
"He..." Yao Yingjie collected his thoughts for a while and said slowly: "His name is Hao Chenchuan. He is about the same age as me. He is a brave man in the same class as me. When he was in the academy, he showed great His extremely powerful cultivation talent is like turning on a cheating device. Not only that, his understanding of combat is also much higher than other people in the same class. This led to his performance in every assessment when he was in the academy. He has always been a monster-like existence. To be honest, even if I faced him, I wouldn't have much confidence in winning. That guy is really strong..."
Having said this, Yao Yingjie paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, he is very arrogant, and there are not many people who can make him look down on him. In addition, coupled with his persistence in fighting and cultivation, we are together People around him called him crazy."
"He is really a special person. Moreover, it can be seen that you think highly of him." Xiao Xuelin said with emotion after hearing Yao Yingjie's introduction.
"By the way, what's going on between you two?" Xiao Xuelin suddenly asked again.
Yao Yingjie took a deep breath and said: "I can't explain clearly. When I was in the academy, he kept pestering me and wanted to have a so-called duel with me as soon as he saw me. He said that this was the fate between us. I also can’t figure it out. Could it be that our ancestors had unresolved conflicts with their family? But before entering the academy, I didn’t know him at all. And he seems to have no family, just like... an orphan."
"Fate... Judging from his appearance, he will definitely haunt you in the future. Can you have a good talk with him? If there is any problem that cannot be solved, it must be like this... I just heard that Team Leader Hua said that both of you are starting to have problems. The killing move is dead, if something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous." Xiao Xuelin said with some worry.
When Yao Yingjie heard what Xiaoxue said, he smiled bitterly and said, "Talk? Don't even think about it. Having said that, he is a lunatic. His idea is that if he can solve it with his hands, he will not talk about it. And he is very obsessed with this matter. Deep. Unless he gives up on his own, there is no chance."
"What should we do? You two will definitely meet again in the future. Are you going to fight each other as soon as you meet?"
"Well, you don't have to worry. I've been like this for so many years. I have my own way of dealing with it."
"Oh, I really don't understand you."
"Hehe." Yao Yingjie scratched his head in embarrassment. He looked at Xiao Xuelin's mesmerizing face under the moonlight and said slowly: "Xiaoxue... you are so beautiful under the moonlight."
"Oh? Does that mean I'm not beautiful if I'm not under the moonlight?"
"Ah?!...No, no, they are all beautiful, they are all beautiful..." Xiao Xuelin deliberately teased Yao Yingjie with her words, catching him off guard in an instant.
"Hahaha." Seeing Yingjie's helpless look, Xiao Xuelin covered her mouth and chuckled.
The two of them talked and laughed with each other under the night, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
