The night is far away and the journey is difficult.
On the roadside covered with white frost, Liu Chaoge suddenly stopped his horse.
Liu Weirui would pay attention to his situation from time to time. Almost as soon as he stopped the horse, she would turn back to him and ask, "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Miaozhen on the side had already stretched out his hand to check Liu Chage. After Liu Chage stepped aside, he explained: "I don't feel uncomfortable."
"Hoo~"
Liu Weirui exhaled a white breath and looked around. The mountains were stacked like scales and the forest was as deep as mist. This place was still far, far away from Suzaku City.
Her eyelashes flashed and she chuckled: "It's been a long journey, let's take a rest first."
Liu Chaoge looked at his daughter clumsily covering up the anxiety in her heart, shook her head and said with a smile: "Why rest? Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Ah?" Liu Weirui blinked.
They were in the middle of the mountains and could not see the scenery further away, but Liu Chaoge easily pointed out the direction of Suzaku City: "At our current speed, it will take a whole day at the fastest. So I won't ride a horse." "
"But..." Liu Weirui had thought about abandoning her horse and traveling from the beginning, but she would not forget that this time she went to Suzaku City. The biggest thing was to treat Liu Chaoge's illness. He could not get worse on the road.
Liu Chaoge said: "Dad said I wouldn't drag you down, so why can't I bear to see you like this? You are already at a good level now, so there is no danger in traveling."
Just as Liu Weirui was about to speak, Liu Chaoge stopped her and said, "I am your father, how can I still blame you for such trivial things?"
Liu Chaoge glanced at the people who came up and nodded towards Li Miaozhen: "Please Miaozhen come with me."
Liu Weirui also inherited Liu Chaoge's clean and tidy temperament, and she was no longer decisive at this point. She just said: "It's okay for Xiaochan and I to leave first, and Uncle Li can stay too."
Liu Chaoge shook his head and was about to speak, but Li Qingniu immediately agreed: "No problem."
Liu Chaoge was stunned, glanced at Li Qingniu, seemed to have remembered something, and nodded helplessly.
Liu Weirui's eyes were slightly bright, and she looked at her best friend. Li Miaozhen said obliquely: "Go, go, you are a typical person who forgets about home when you have a man."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Weirui spat lightly. After being teased and given a few more instructions, Liu Weirui took Xiaochan and took the lead in rushing into the continuous night ahead.
Liu Chaoge watched his daughter's back disappear around the corner of the mountain, and suddenly said: "Mr. Li."
After Liu Chaoge learned about Li Qingniu's true identity, the relationship between the two seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. It couldn't be said to be hostile, but it was much more polite.
Li Qingniu was a little uncomfortable with Liu Chaoge's title. He was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Master, what's the matter?"
Liu Chaoge pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "I really don't deserve your title. I actually have a question."
Li Qingniu was silent for a moment and nodded.
Li Miaozhen looked left and right, pretending to walk aside, but the little girl's natural curiosity got the best of her, and her little ears were already pricked.
Liu Chaoge didn't want to expose the girl's thoughts. He looked at Li Qingniu and asked, "You should be Youwei's senior brother. Why didn't Youwei recognize you when you came to Liu's house?"
Li Qingniu was about to answer right away, but he asked out of nowhere: "Why do you think she didn't recognize me?"
Li Miaozhen looked at Liu Chaoge quietly. She was the same age as Liu Weirui, and she had only seen a few portraits of her good friend's mother who died young. She wondered how the old people would feel when they talked about that aunt, sad? To remember?
Liu Chaoge's eyes were bright and he chuckled: "She is a silly girl."
Li Qingniu's eyes flickered, seeming to recall the quirky junior sister in his memory. His brows softened a lot, and he said in a low voice: "When I separated from her, I thought I had lured away the greatest danger for her, but I didn't think of those people. I have been following each other for a long time, and I actually thought about killing her."
Liu Chaoge's eyes flashed with memories, and he continued: "That should be what happened before she was injured."
Li Qingniu nodded and took a deep look at Liu Chaoge: "I only learned recently that although the master was angry with the junior sister for not being obedient, he was very kind to her. The reason why the junior sister was able to escape the life-and-death crisis that time was because the master sensed her The danger is great, and I forcefully break through regardless of promotion."
Liu Chaoge did not interrupt Li Qingniu and motioned for him to continue.
Li Qingniu said faintly: "Then, what happened next is that junior sister met you. Although she escaped the killing, she was injured in the end. It can be said that those people's plan was more than half successful."
Li Miaozhen looked at the two middle-aged men in the field. Their expressions were very cold at the moment. It was a coldness that if those people dared to appear, they would dare to draw their swords and punch.
Li Qingniu looked at Liu Chaoge, "When I found my junior sister, her cultivation had already regressed a lot, and she could no longer see through my changes."
"Wow!" Li Miaozhen opened his small mouth, subconsciously making a sound of surprise, and guided Li Qingniu to restore his original appearance in front of the two of them.
He is taller and has a tougher face than the Li Qingniu they are familiar with.
Liu Chaoge seemed very calm about this change, and instead blamed himself: "When I met Youwei, I didn't know she was so seriously injured. What if..."
Li Qingniu's tone was slightly cold: "If we knew, there wouldn't be a young lady, right?"
He is now more accustomed to calling Junior Sister Lin Youwei and Miss Liu Weirui, but he actually started to talk about Liu Weirui's injustice.
Liu Chaoge shook his head and said: "No, if I had known that she was so seriously injured, even if I knew that the Lin family would not welcome me, I would have persuaded her to return to the Western Mountains. I would have stayed with her until her injury completely improved."
Li Qingniu sighed inwardly, finally knowing where he had fallen behind in his cultivation.
He said gently: "Actually, before Junior Sister married you, as far as I found out, Master came to Liu's house no less than three times, but Junior Sister stayed in the end. So I don't blame you for this, I can only blame those people A bad guy who dares to attack junior sister."
Liu Chaoge turned his eyes slightly and saw that Li Miaozhen was tilting her little head to listen in rapt attention. He asked in a calm tone: "Then do you know the news that Youwei is not dead yet?"
"What? Wei Rui's mother is still alive? Is this true?"
Li Miaozhen's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he almost asked directly. He quickly turned around and pretended to adjust the saddle.
Li Qingniu nodded. He always had a say-so attitude and did not hide anything: "You will know after meeting the master this time."
Liu Chaoge nodded and guessed: "Did my father-in-law follow us? Is Wei Rui with him now?"
Li Qingniu nodded. The reason why he was relieved to let Liu Weirui go alone was because Lin Langtian sent him a message.
The conversation between the two was neither loud nor quiet, but it was really painful for Miaozhen.
She didn't expect that the famous Lord of the Western Mountain Realm would act as their bodyguard all the way. After hearing such explosive information, Li Miaozhen almost couldn't help but want to talk. It was a pity that there was only one in front of her who couldn't listen. A horse that understands human language.
The horse even snorted when she brushed his mane too hard.
"Miaozhen."
"Ah?" Li Miao stood blankly beside the horse. When Liu Chaoge suddenly shouted, he subconsciously shook his shoulders and responded: "I didn't hear anything, Uncle Liu."
"Oh, it's good that you didn't hear it." Liu Chaoge smiled and shook his head, looked at the little girl's back, and said calmly: "Wei Rui's mother fell into a deep sleep. Wei Rui knows that being early is not a good thing."
"Oh, I understand." Li Miaozhen turned around and nodded obediently, but there was a murmur in his heart.
He also made it clearer, what is going on? Did I really not tell Wei Rui?
snort! These adults are all the same, they still treat us like children.
Li Miaozhen pouted and blinked her big eyes to make a decision.
Liu Chaoge saw that Li Miaozhen's little face only had "I must tell Wei Rui" written on it, and he felt happy. The little girl had a "criminal record". She was the one who told Liu Wei Rui about his condition in the first place.
Regarding the fact that Lin Youwei was still alive, Liu Chaoge had been hesitant to tell his daughter. After all, it took him a long time to digest the news before he recovered.
In the past, he would definitely not have thought of borrowing Li Miaozhen's advice, at least he would have waited until Lin Youwei was about to wake up before telling Liu Weirui. However, after getting to know Lin Langtian, his father-in-law, from multiple angles, Liu Chaoge had some different emotions.
This old father is worried about his daughter. Can he be a more enlightened father who is more popular with his daughter?
…
The battle in Suzaku City has completely entered a fever pitch.
The inner city no longer had the same hustle and bustle as before, and the whimpering that could be heard here and there made the inner city, which had a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people half a day ago, look like a purgatory.
Mu Qing found the monster in the sky in the center of the inner city.
It was currently wandering in the endless blood. When it saw Mu Qing roaring towards him, it sneered and fired a volley of spears composed of Karma Fire Group at Mu Qing.
A large number of people died tragically, so as they got closer to the monster, the karma around it became stronger.
When Mu Qing saw the spear coming, he turned the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand and swung it forward with the blade of the sword.
A large amount of black flames vented from the sword, swallowed up the spear, and then rolled back into the sword.
"Hmph, you only know how to pick up Master Hei's things, you're just a coward." The monster was extremely angry, but he still had to act cold and arrogant.
The corners of Mu Qing's mouth curled up and he stopped.
He remembered Cao Jin's reminder, and while displaying the Demon Suppressing Sword, he said lightly: "You reminded me that you can only be regarded as one thing. Let me tell you the truth, I am attracted by your ability, and I want to I will take you as a slave and serve as the sword spirit of this sword."
"What did you say?" The monster rushed out of the blood cloud fiercely, but if it could, it didn't want to suppress the rising anger in its body.
Mu Qing felt happy, recalling Bai Hao's demeanor, looking at the monster with a condescending gaze that he had never seen before, and continued to stimulate: "Your ability is barely qualified to be the sword spirit of my sword. , but in view of the seriousness of your sins, I will always suppress you with this sword in my hand. As for when I can let you go free, well, when this sword breaks, you will be free."
Generally speaking, if a sword has a sword spirit, when the sword is broken, the sword spirit will also die.
Mu Qing was quite satisfied with his performance. He looked at the monster from afar, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Hei, this is your honor."
"Wow, yeah, yeah." The outline of the monster's body suddenly showed ripples that became denser and thicker.
After a while of chirping, Mu Qing could even see the black flames rushing left and right in its body, trying to break through some kind of rational restraint, so he kept up his efforts, put on an indifferent expression and warned: "Xiao Hei, don't be shameless. Face, if you obey me, one day in the future, I might let you out for a walk when I am happy."
"Ah! Damn you, you are so shameless! Damn you, Master Hei!"
The monster kept reminding him to increase his strength first, then he would have enough means to torture Mu Qing.
But I don't know what's going on with Mu Qing. This time, he changed his face from before. This tone and demeanor of speaking were simply more uncomfortable for him than directly consuming his black flames.
Finally, at this moment, it no longer resisted the violent joy in its body and rushed directly towards Mu Qing.
Seeing the monster rushing towards it with endless blood, Mu Qing's eyes were bright, and he flicked the demon-suppressing sword on his fingertips and took the initiative to meet it.
He had just displayed the Demon Suppressing Sword and had been quietly mobilizing his power. He originally thought that the monster would notice his little move, but the reality turned out that he had overestimated the monster's rationality.
Sure enough, Bai Hao's hypocrisy and arrogance are also vividly reflected in the monster.
Above the sky, the monster's entire mass of black flames penetrated into the blood. The blood was billowing, and it turned into a long bloody dragon almost instantly.
The long dragon opened its huge mouth, and the black flames inside it were surging, trying to swallow Mu Qing whole.
Mu Qing's sword came out immediately, and his arm and sword body formed a straight line. He didn't hesitate at all and bumped into it calmly.
"Buzz."
It wasn't until the Demon Suppressing Sword had penetrated the dragon's mouth that a dark word "Devil" flashed away.
The monster screamed and looked at this sudden scene, and its blood energy turned around, extending the realm to the limit.
It wants to repeat its old tricks and use self-mutilation to get out.
Mu Qing gave a soft drink, displayed his wings behind his back, and accelerated into the dragon's mouth.
"ah!"
The screams of the monsters echoed through the sky.
It dragged the long dragon of blood and rolled endlessly in the air, sweeping the thick and continuous volcanic ash in all directions.
Finally, after more than a dozen scarlet sword lights emerged from the dragon's head, the long dragon, which was still menacing a moment ago, exploded from the head. The rich blood was intertwined and shot towards the ground. The rock flow suddenly resounded with endless sizzling sounds in the middle of the night.
A black flame also condensed into an arrow shadow and fell straight to the ground.
Mu Qing was hit by the powerful air wave and was already more than ten feet away when he emerged from the billowing blood energy.
His momentum was much weaker than before, but his eyes were still firm and bright in his narrowed eyes.
He held the demon-suppressing sword that was shaking crazily with both hands and slowly flew forward.
The original city lord's palace has now become a barren land filled with rock flows.
At its edge, the rock flow that has lost its fluidity slowly cools, turns black and hardens, while in the center, the red rock flow is still constantly venting out. As for looking down from the sky, it looks very similar. A boiling pot of oil on fire.
Just now, the monster that suffered another heavy blow plunged into this "oil pot".
Mu Qing's expression was not much relaxed, but even more solemn, because from a certain moment on, the power between heaven and earth became more and more chaotic.
Is the monster also preparing its final blow?
