After a long time, Du Chengfeng, who was riding back, looked at the huge corpse in the mountain and was speechless for a long time.
He rode away just now, on the one hand, to retrieve the thick sword that was thrown away, and on the other hand, he also wanted to leave Xiang Rong behind, so that both sides would lose in the fight with the monster.
The monster should be Old Man Ruan. He could guess this even without Xiang Rong reminding him. So since Old Man Ruan turned into a monster and Xiang Rong came out alive, he naturally wanted to keep Xiang Rong and let the former couple Let’s talk about old times together, classmates.
But this result was a little too unexpected.
He had expected that Old Ruan would be plotted against. After all, after polishing the Founder's Sword, he had learned about the past between Old Ruan and Xiang Rong, and even more so that Xiang Rong had been good at plotting since he was young. Swords hurt people - it was precisely because of this that he, who led the team away, rushed back to see the situation.
In the final analysis, whether he can live and work in peace and contentment in Yanzhou all depends on whether the old man Ruan can live a good life.
But the facts have proven that Old Man Ruan is living too much. With that huge body rooted in Ziyang Mountain, and those huge branches that cover the sky, I am afraid that no one can deal with a monster of this level.
Ruan Shantao, who is still human, can still overwhelm the entire Yanzhou with one person, so how terrifying will Ruan Shantao be with full firepower after turning into a monster?
That would probably be a disaster for Yanzhou City and even several surrounding states.
So after getting his sword back, he came back. He wanted to come back to see if the man named Xiang Rong was dead, and to see what Ruan Shantao looked like now that he had turned into a monster.
But who would have thought that after returning to the mountain academy, what he would see would be Ruan Shantao's body.
"One...no, two wounds."
After carefully observing the corpse, Du Chengfeng came to a conclusion.
Judging from Ruan Shantao's posture before he fell to the ground, he should be grabbing something, and this is consistent with Du Chengfeng's previous impression of the strange bird He Xixuan. Such monsters have the instinct to devour living creatures to make up for themselves. It's not surprising that Xiang Rong was captured alive.
Then, Ruan Shantao's right arm was broken open.
Just looking at the shape of the wound, Du Chengfeng couldn't tell what kind of weapon it was. He had also seen the hundred-refined soft sword used by the man named Xiang Rong, but the invisible sword light was only comparable to his fiery sword. The Fire Blades were equally matched, and it was impossible for them to produce such terrifying destructive power.
If he had to find a way to describe it, Du Chengfeng felt that it was more like some kind of heavy artillery.
However, this attack was obviously more ferocious and deadly than the artillery in Du Chengfeng's impression.
With just one blow, Ruan Shantao's right arm was completely torn into pieces, and then with the second blow, most of Ruan Shantao's body was shattered.
In just two attacks, this monster that was transformed by Ruan Shantao and rooted in Ziyang Mountain, and could even be said to be unmoving, died.
This is the trace left by the man named Xiang Rong just now.
"So strong."
Stepping forward, Du Chengfeng gently touched the broken bones on the body.
At this huge fracture, it seems that you can still vaguely smell the overwhelming evil energy left behind by that blow.
"So strong!"
Just the slight residual evil spirit at the fracture already made Du Chengfeng tremble all over and almost wanted to draw his sword on the spot!
"Calm down, calm down..."
Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng turned his horse around and rushed back to Yanzhou City.
The students from the academy had already withdrawn to the city. Many children were originally from the city and went home all the way. The few adults who went to the mountains to study in order to become literate were placed by Liu Bolun in Du Chengfeng's house together with the two doormen who guarded the mountain. Since this was the house where Liu Bolun had lived, he was now placed there. It was quite appropriate. Even Cui Yuan, who was hidden in the pot, was given a place to live and was not known to outsiders.
After that, Du Chengfeng approached Carpenter Li, who had sobered up.
"Brother, I just entered the city in time. I just mentioned it to the villagers when I passed by... Now you, leave the city immediately. Old Man Yang is already preparing money, food and materials for the road. When you are ready, leave immediately."
"Okay, I'll do it right away"
Carpenter Li nodded.
"What about you? When are you leaving?"
"I……"
Du Chengfeng was stunned.
Yes, when will he leave?
It seems that it is indeed time to leave. After all, this time is completely different from the time in Yangjiapu. The monster named He Xiqing may really chase him to the ends of the earth for revenge - but there is no He Xi at the moment. Qing didn't have any enemies. Ruan Shantao fell. This was a disaster for the whole Yanzhou. Isn't it normal for him to choose to leave in advance?
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and everyone will choose to leave dangerous places.
However, why should he think about such a normal thing?
"Well, I still have something to get."
Saying this, Du Chengfeng got on his horse and left all the way.
With such a performance, no matter how slow Carpenter Li is, he has already realized that something is wrong. He doesn't quite understand why this Du brother clearly talks about letting others run away, but he has no intention of running away at all - if He said that when he was in Jibei, he only had a vague feeling like this, but now, this feeling is too obvious.
If the matter is really like what his brother Du said, it is a disaster that will affect the entire Yanzhou City, then what is his brother Du waiting for? Waiting to die in the city?
Or is he, Brother Du, really so heroic and selfless that he wants to save more than 100,000 people in Yanzhou City on his own?
"I didn't expect him to be such a person..."
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be such a person."
Just as Carpenter Li sighed, a voice sounded behind him.
"Originally, when he deceived me in the mountains and wanted to kill me, I thought he was just a deceiver. But now, with his bravery in actively looking for fighter planes, and his fearless and heroic attitude of charging towards death... God knows. How many people is he going to kill this time! No wonder he has such a great talent!"
"……Who are you?"
Carpenter Li turned around and saw a man with a wide robe and long sleeves and a scar on his face appearing behind him at some point.
"And who are you talking about?"
"I am Cui Yuan, a swordsman."
The man named Cui Yuan nodded slightly.
"As for what I'm talking about, it's Mr. Du Chengfeng and Du, he..."
"Wait a minute?"
Carpenter Li suddenly frowned.
Are you kidding? He watched Du Chengfeng walking from Yangjiabao all the way. The two parties have long been brothers, and they are even more intimate with each other - and he also knows Du Chengfeng's temperament, clearly He is a good person who lives and works in peace and contentment.
Why did it come to Cui Yuan's mouth and he became like some bloody and cruel demon king?
"A good person? You actually think he is a good person?"
Cui Yuan glanced at Carpenter Li in surprise.
"You said you know him very well, but you still think he is a good person?"
"if not?"
Carpenter Li also looked puzzled.
Judging from his relationship with Brother Du, if he is not a good person, then who else can be?
"Is that what you actually think..."
Shaking his head, Cui Yuan couldn't help but close his eyes and think back on the memories related to Du Chengfeng.
"If you think so, then all I can say is that you don't know your brother well enough."
