Since the leader of the Thorns Gate God Hall is willing to come out and challenge Mu Zi on behalf of everyone, naturally no one has any objections. This Hall Master Xu is very skilled in martial arts, so he is a perfect match for Mu Zi, who is on par with Zhu Mingyu. After all, none of the people present feel that they are Zhu Mingyu's opponent.
Everyone made an open space and got into position with guns and swords, but they did not rush to take action, but carefully observed the opponent's movements.
Since Xu Qingchen came out of the martial arts world, he has rarely fought against masters and lacks corresponding experience. But Mu Zi is different. She has experienced too many life and death battles.
Suddenly, the two men moved at the same time, guns and swords clashed, and the sparks generated by the collision of the two weapons looked thrilling.
Yuan Fengling hid behind the door and watched the showdown nervously.
Thirty moves ago, the two of them were testing each other, just seeing each other's moves. Thirty moves later, the two of them became familiar with each other's routines and began to use their killer moves frequently. After only sixty strokes, both of them were injured. Fortunately, they were just scratches and not serious. After a hundred moves, Mu Zi's decline was fully visible - not long after the onset of her illness, although the excruciating pain disappeared, her body's flexibility was far less than before.
As the number of injuries on her body gradually increased, everyone could see how hard she was struggling.
Everyone was so nervous that they ignored the rising sun.
One hundred and sixty-three moves later, Mu Zi forced Xu Qingchen back with his long sword. The sword was so powerful and heavy that it shook Mu Zi's inner breath. She knelt on one knee, holding a spear in one hand, and couldn't stand up after spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.
Xu Qingchen was not relaxed either. Mu Zi shot him six times all over his body. Although they were all superficial injuries, the pain made him unable to relax.
"Process," Xu Qingchen said softly and walked towards Mu Zi with his sword in hand, "I am here to take your life on the orders of Chen Xiangzhi, the master of the Thorn Sect, Mu Zi, do you have anything else to say?"
"Keep someone under the sword!"
Before Xu Qingchen could reach Mu Zi, the voices of two people sounded in front of and behind him, and they shouted these words at the same time. Moreover, it can be heard that they are a man and a woman.
The man hadn't seen it yet, but the woman in the room had already rushed out. She opened her arms and stood in front of Mu Zi.
She is a thin woman, and it is obvious that she does not know martial arts. There was fear in her eyes and her body was shaking slightly.
Xu Qingchen frowned, looked at the woman in front of him, and said in surprise: "Yuan Fengling?"
Yuan Fengling and Mu Zi, such a combination, is both reasonable and unreasonable. The two of them have had the same name for many years, but there seems to be no overlap. Moreover, one is related to Li Fenglan and the other is Li Fenglan’s enemy. How did they live together?
Those people in the world are also whispering. A few months ago, there were rumors in the world that Yuan Fengling, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, died in that dispute. Unexpectedly, she was still alive. It's just that Yuan Fengling no longer has the charm of the past. He is wearing coarse clothes, his face is a little red, and he is not as fair as the ladies. In fact, in comparison, the other Hua Yueying was not much better, and even her half-scarred face was intimidating.
When everyone was surprised, the man who shouted these words also appeared. He is a Taoist priest, he looks to be in his twenties, his robes are old, his beard is unkempt, and he is unkempt.
Xu Qingchen also knew this person, Zhang Chengqing's sixth disciple, Zhan Tianhong.
Zhan Tianhong wore his usual calm smile, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed him. He was in a hurry all the way.
Xu Qingchen asked: "Master Zhan, do you have any advice?"
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Xu? You were a guest at our temple last year."
"Of course I will remember it."
"Then what..." Zhan Tianhong scratched the back of his head, seeming a little embarrassed, "You guys... let Mu Zi go."
Xu Qingchen asked, "Why? I believe Taoist Master Zhan has heard of what Mu Zi has done, right?"
"Of course I know, Yeyu Xiaozhu has a scarred face, and she kills the whole family at every turn... But the problem is, she has become a monk, and now she is a member of our Taoist sect, and the mortal world has nothing to do with her. Everyone, do you understand this?"
They understood that Zhang Chengqing still chose to save Mu Zi's life, and the old man would risk his life.
wanted.
Yuan Fengling was happy, it seemed that Mu Zi was saved.
Who would have thought that Mu Zi shook her head. She stood up with difficulty and looked at everyone in front of her: "I am not a member of the Taoist sect, nor am I a monk."
Zhan Tianhong couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you doing this? Everyone has their own difficulties. You are still young, why are you struggling with your own life?"
Mu Zi smiled, and his smile was very innocent: "I have done many wrong things, but at that time I had excuses and could do them with peace of mind. But I don't have these excuses now, and... I just said that for my life After making a last-ditch effort, I failed."
Mu Zi thrust the spear into the ground with force, let go of his hand, and stood staggeringly.
"I will give this life back to you."
After Mu Zi finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his chest with a palm.
At the moment when his heart and lungs collapsed, Mu Zi felt that he had achieved unprecedented relief.
She didn't realize that the day before she died, she still hated some people, but she didn't want to torture herself anymore. I haven't forgiven my grandfather, I haven't forgiven him, and I haven't forgiven myself. Her short words meant that there were many people she was sorry for, and they were still repaying their debts the moment before she died. .
It's not over yet. There are too many lives owed, so let's just die.
Mu Zi spat out a mouthful of blood, and everyone present was covered in her blood mist.
Consider it a debt repayment.
Yuan Fengling rushed over the moment Mu Zi patted her. Unfortunately, she could only hug Mu Zi's limp body and could not save her life.
Ye Yu Xiaozhu's scarred face is just gone. Those who wanted revenge were not very happy and thought her death was a bit hasty.
Zhan Tianhong closed his eyes helplessly - he actually didn't want to save Mu Zi. He didn't like this woman very much. If the master hadn't asked him to come, he would have hoped that he could kill her and get rid of the evil.
Xu Qingchen sheathed the sword and said calmly: "Everyone, this matter is over." He also said goodbye to Zhan Tianhong, then ignored the matter and left on horseback.
Those people didn't seem to want to leave yet.
Zhan Tianhong laughed coldly: "Everyone, Mu Zi is dead. You and Miss Yuan should have no grudges, right? Let's break up."
With Zhan Tianhong in charge, those who wanted to crush Mu Zi to ashes had no choice but to give up.
After everyone dispersed, Zhan Tianhong ran to the warehouse, took out a handful of knives, and dug a hole behind the house.
After Zhan Tianhong finished digging the hole, Yuan Fengling was still kneeling on the ground in the yard holding Mu Zi's body.
"Miss Yuan, give me the person."
Yuan Fengling suddenly woke up from her daze. She looked at Mu Zi's gray face and nodded.
Zhan Tianhong picked up Mu Zi's body and buried her in the pit. Yuan Fengling stood aside and watched quietly as Zhan Tianhong filled the pit with soil.
After Zhan Tianhong filled in the soil, he stood in front of the grave, closed his eyes, and recited a rebirth mantra.
After finishing reading, he looked at Yuan Fengling beside him and said, "Miss Yuan, go home."
Yuan Fengling raised his head and asked dully: "Go home?"
"Your parents are still alive and at your grandma's house. Miss Li of Xianrentang did not cause trouble with them... In fact, she knows you are here, and it seems that she doesn't want to settle accounts with you. Go back, your Yuan family is in the world. There are not many enemies. If your parents can spend such a long time peacefully, you can too."
After Zhan Tianhong finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket: "Pindao only has this little money, so give it to the lady for expenses. Of course, you can live in Zhongnan Mountain if you want, but you don't It’s not safe for a rich lady to be alone here.”
After Zhan Tianhong said what he should say, he walked towards the mountain. It was the first time that he and Yuan Fengling met, and there was no friendship at all. It was already very interesting to be able to take out the little money he had. You know, he has been saving this money for two years.
…
The Li family mansion in Yangzhou was burned down a few days ago, and all the servants were killed before the fire broke out. No one saw who the murderer was.
Mo Changfeng stood in the burned-down Li family mansion and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
When he was young and came here for the first time, the Li family was so beautiful. Even he, who was well-informed, and Shangguan Cheng, who was also well-informed, were shocked.
"Changfeng, tell me... I'll go back and tell dad to expand our house. Even if it's not as big as the Li family, even if it's half the size of others, do you think it's okay?"
At that time, Mo Changfeng, who was looking ruthless, yawned and replied with a smile: "Father has taught us since we were young not to be arrogant and extravagant. If you say that, you will definitely get beaten."
Shangguan Cheng rubbed his knees and changed the subject: "Do you think the Li family doesn't understand the rules?"
"Why don't you understand the rules?"
"After all, we are distinguished guests. Why don't we receive them in the lobby? Just put us in the backyard? And it's been half an hour, right? My legs are numb from sitting there."
Mo Changfeng looked indifferent: "Let's sit down instead of standing, which is good... Hey, Acheng, have you noticed?" Mo Changfeng deliberately lowered his voice in the second half.
Shangguan Chengye lowered his voice: "What did you find?"
"The girls from the Li family...are so pretty. Look at those two, with their faces and figures, hey, they're really good. Anyway, dad asked us to talk about forming an alliance. Why don't you sacrifice yourself and go with them?" Get married."
Shangguan Cheng had a look of disdain on his face: "Don't come here, I'm used to being free and want to marry you..."
Shangguan Cheng didn't say the next words because the two beautiful girls Mo Changfeng mentioned came towards them. When he saw the woman walking in front, Shangguan Cheng couldn't close his open mouth. This girl was very beautiful, not only beautiful, but her elegant and wise temperament deeply attracted him.
He has seen many beautiful women, but never this type.
The two girls walked up to them and gave them a salute. The leading girl asked: "Are you two young masters of the Shangguan family? My grandfather and father are discussing things and cannot come for the time being. Guest rooms have been arranged for you two. You two can go to the guest room to rest first."
Before Mo Changfeng could say anything, Shangguan Cheng said anxiously: "Don't be in a hurry, family matters are important. Then what... dare I ask the girl her name."
The woman covered her mouth and smiled softly, and replied: "Little girl Li Fengyao, this is my sister, Li Yuzhuo."
All this seems like just yesterday.
