"Are you really not afraid of death? Not necessarily. If you are really fearless, why did I stop when you stabbed my chest just now?"
If the man in black didn't stop in time, while his knife opened Xu Qian's chest, the tip of the smiley hammer would penetrate deep into his brain. The man in black avoided it in time, which meant that he did not intend to die together. In this case, it should be even more unacceptable to be killed by Xu Qian unilaterally.
The man in black was speechless for a moment, speechless.
"Tell me, why did you come to kill me." Xu Qian had to figure this out. He wanted to know who the enemy was who hated him to the core at this moment.
Li Xiao is still in peace talks with Datang, so he probably won't send anyone to kill him. Even if he comes, this old opponent knows his own strength. He is only in the Taiqing realm. Even though his methods are weird, it is still too difficult to succeed. Tang Emperor Li Weihan, who originally sent assassins to assassinate him many times, has abdicated and reached a cooperation agreement with Xu Qian, so it cannot be him. Could it be Emperor Hades? Not anymore. With the foundation of Hades Palace, it is not difficult to send two top Taiqings. How come only one ordinary Taiqing came? Leader No. 5 has done a lot of little things to him before, but since the breakup, the other party has never made trouble for him again. Moreover, Leader No. 5 is also behind the Dawn Organization, so it shouldn't be him. Could it be someone from the Star Alliance?
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. If there is still a hidden force that has been working against him, Xu Qian must dig it out.
"I said no one sent me here, and I didn't come to kill you, I just wanted to win you."
"Want to beat me?" Xu Qian was stunned, which reminded him of Xi Jiuhai. There was a firm light in the other person's eyes, which made Xu Qian not doubt his words.
"Do you want to win over me and become famous?"
The man in black snorted coldly: "Famous? I'm not that superficial. I'm just not convinced. I obviously woke up earlier than you, but I still practiced so hard, but you were far ahead."
Xu Qian was shocked, "Are you too?"
The man in black took off the mask on his face, which was a handsome face.
"If I guessed correctly, you should have woken up last year!"
"Are you investigating me?" Xu Qian didn't expect that the other party was also a resurrector, or an awakener.
"You are so famous, do you still need to investigate? By the way, if you look online, there is a lot of information about you. You transferred to your current school in September last year. If my analysis is correct, you are probably You must have woken up by then!"
Xu Qian was shocked. The other party was close to him, but he still remained calm and said, "Why? I transferred to another school at that time, but I could have woken up before that."
"No!" The man in black was full of confidence, "As an awakener, with the best cultivation qualifications and superior magic skills in the world, your progress will not be too slow. There is a very short video about you circulating on the Internet. It was also the first time you entered the public eye. At that time, you should have just entered the Fengchu Realm."
The video the other party mentioned should be the part where Xu Qian climbed into Lin Qiaoer's room for the first time and was accidentally broadcast live.
Xu Qian had nothing to argue with. In fact, he didn't mind letting people know this, but he also wanted to know how the other party analyzed it.
"Since we both have the same identity, why did you attack me?"
"I said it because I wanted to prove that I was better than you."
"Why? Do you have to beat everyone?" Xu Qian couldn't understand this boring idea of "I want to be the best in the world."
"It's not about beating everyone, but beating you." The man in black said seriously: "I woke up nearly two years earlier than you, and I have been practicing hard. It wasn't until I reached the Taiqing realm that I came out to take a good look. When I look at this world, I never expected that you already exist at this time."
"What do you mean by this? I am not the only one who awakens. Could it be that I am not allowed to be more famous than you?"
"No! I don't care about that. I woke up earlier than you and have been practicing hard, but your cultivation is higher than mine due to luck. This is unacceptable to me."
"It turns out I'm not convinced..." Xu Qian probably understood the other party's mentality. Such people generally have a high self-esteem and are narrow-minded. The more similar people are to their situation, the less likely they are to be better than themselves. Just like a person cannot see his classmates developing better than themselves, it is acceptable for other people to be awesome.
At this time, Xu Qian still did not completely believe the other party's identity, because this person did not have the aura of the Book of the Resurrection on his body. Since he woke up earlier than himself, why didn't the Book of the Resurrection choose him instead of himself? Aren't new members admitted in order?
"May I have your name?"
"Xiang Yan."
"Are you Xiang Yan?" Xu Qian was slightly surprised.
Xiang Yan is the champion of the recently concluded second round of the quarterly national competition. His game ID is his real name, which is very similar to Xi Jiuhai. Originally, the birth of a new round of champions should have been constantly publicized and reported, but it happened to coincide with the moment when the Great Tang Dynasty and the Dawn War ended and entered peace talks. People and the media's attention was diverted a lot. With Xu Qianzhuyu in front, the Xiang Yan's attention couldn't be higher.
It is said that as long as Xiang Yan is mentioned in online articles, they often like to mention Xu Qian, and even compare the two habitually. After all, the two were the champions of the first and second rounds of the quarterly national competition respectively, so the topic of Xiang Yan couldn't avoid Xu Qian. And people generally believe that Xu Qian is stronger than Xiang Yan.
Only a few pertinent articles pointed out that Xiang Yan was far better than Xu Qian based on his performance in the game. It was only after the game that Xu Qian improved again and even killed Huan Guang. This made Xu Qian better. Diving into a battle to become a god. If you only talk about the game, Xu Qian is not as good as Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan strongly agrees with this. The game footage is public information and can be seen by everyone, and the video of Xu Qian's killing of Huan Guang was also leaked. Xiang Yan could tell at a glance that Xu Qian killed Huan Guang just by borrowing the power of the divine bow in his hand. As for the various news about Xu Qian sent back from other worlds, no one could tell how much it was. Xiang Yan believes that even if Xu Qian makes progress, he himself is also making progress, and there is no reason for him to be inferior to Xu Qian.
He compared Xu Qian as an opponent almost all the time. This mentality seriously affected his practice. When he realized it, he decided to fight Xu Qian. In the past few days, news came out that Xu Qian had returned to Nanhai City. When Xiang Yan learned about it, he came over.
"Cultivation is not about practicing in isolation. Blindly cultivating in isolation will only result in more gains than losses. You should see more of the world, experience the various tastes of the world, learn from others' strengths, and experience more practical combat. This is the right way to improve your cultivation."
"Don't think that your temporary lead can teach me a lesson. One day I will defeat you and say goodbye!" Xiang Yan didn't say any nonsense, leaping into the night and disappearing immediately without leaving a trace.
"What a master assassin. If he wanted to kill me at the same level, I wouldn't be able to survive."
Xu Qian returned to the villa. The two people from the branch had just been rescued by Shi Diandian, and a team of 20 people arrived at the scene almost at the same time.
This is a rapid response force arranged by the Special Branch across the country. It played a big role in the supernatural attack on Hades some time ago and promptly rescued many ordinary people who were trapped in it.
Xu Qian made up a reason to send these people away. He didn't want the matter to make a big deal. Xiang Yan acted recklessly, but Xu Qian had to protect him.
Two minutes later, Ou Junpei also arrived, and Xu Qian handed over the uninhabitable villa to him. This was not the first time that Ou Junpei had repaired a house for Xu Qian. It could be said that he was very familiar with it.
"Then what should we do tonight?" The two of them looked at the house with several big holes in it quietly, and Shi Diandian asked a very realistic question.
Ou Junpei was interested in arranging accommodation for Xu Qian just now, but he declined because he was no longer in the special branch and it was against the rules to accept too many benefits from the branch.
"Let's go to the hotel and book a room. What else can we do?"
"Get a room?" Shi Diandian's reaction was louder, and the people in the branch who were still cleaning up Xu Qian all looked over.
"Well, get a room!"
The word "open house" sometimes has another meaning, especially when it is associated with a man and a woman. Xu Qian didn't think too much. He was still thinking about some questions brought about by Xiang Yan's appearance.
Both of them have storage space, so they can just walk wherever they want. Xu Qian was not ambiguous at all, and immediately flew out of the community with Shi Diandian and disappeared into the night.
"The chief is indeed very charming and has a wide range of friends, especially female friends. There are many types of friends, and each one is prettier than the last..." Ou Junpei muttered as he looked at the patch of sky where Xu Qian disappeared.
