Chapter 657 Black

Ye Hongjian's body seemed to tremble slightly. Her red lips seemed to open as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

After repeating this for two or three times, her body trembled even more violently. She bit her own lips and looked at Xu Han.

However, after Xu Han finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Roar!

However, at this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from behind them.

It was Ah Huang's voice!

Xu Han suddenly raised his head. Something unexpected happened to Qin Keqing. He and Ye Hongjian exchanged a glance. Both of them came to their senses from the previous incident. Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them stopped and quickly ran towards the camp.

The campfire was extinguished.

Xuan'er's eyes widened, her amber pupils narrowed, and her hair stood up like sharp needles.

Aowu's body became incomparably large, and he couldn't help but let out a low roar.

However, Ah Huang, who had already transformed into a giant ape, had already fallen to the ground. At his chest, a huge bloody hole was shocking.

Not far away, the figure wrapped in a black robe walked like a ghost, step by step, towards Qin Keqing, who had also fallen to the ground with a pale complexion.

In the hundred breaths of time that Xu Han and Ye Hongjian had left, a battle had taken place here-a battle that was completely one-sided and devastating.

A sword stretched out from the sleeve of the black robe and pressed against Qin Keqing's throat. Qin Keqing could not move.

She lifted her head to look at the black robe. The face wrapped under the hood was blurry, and only her eyes, wrapped in anger and struggle, flickered in the sparse starlight.

"Who on earth are you!" Qin Keqing knew that there seemed to be no way to retreat, so she gritted her teeth and gathered her courage to ask.

She did not understand why this black-robed man was like a maggot of a tarsal bone, always following behind her, wanting to kill her whenever he had the chance.

The black-robed man loosened the sword in his hand again. The cold and sharp edge of the sword cut a bloody mark on Qin Keqing's neck. As long as he was willing, he could easily take Qin Keqing's life in the next breath.

But he didn't.

His hand trembled slightly, and his gaze flickered even more intensely.

He opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "You still have a way, don't you want to give it a try?"

Qin Keqing, who was ready to be slaughtered, was stunned, but she quickly reacted and understood what the black-clothed man meant.

Qin Keqing shook her head decisively and said, "I won't do that again."

Hearing this, the black-robed man suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Why can't you do it? Not only can you do it, you can even do it more ruthlessly than anyone else!"

Qin Keqing fell silent when faced with the mockery of the black robe. She stared at the flickering eyes under the black robe for a long time before saying again, "Actually … you want to save him, don't you?"

The black-robed man's body trembled at that moment, and his tone suddenly grew a bit louder, "What?"

It was probably because of some horror that the two words he blurted out were not as hoarse as usual.

Of course, Qin Keqing did not notice this. She seemed to have figured out something. She was no longer as frightened as before, and her tone became much calmer. "I have no grievances or enmity with you, but you didn't hesitate to risk your life to kill me. I was puzzled until I saw the Ancient Devil in the Mausoleum of the Swords."

'"If I really get to the point where I will be devoured by that monster, with Young Master Xu's temperament, I'm sure I won't stand idly by. An Ancient Devil's strength has almost made him unable to control himself. If he were to devour the Devil Qi in my body in order to save me," said Young Master Xu.

At this point, Qin Keqing paused. She took the initiative to take a step forward. She said again, "If it weren't for me, how could the Dragon-Snake Twin Technique harm him? I don't want to be a burden to him anymore, so do it."

At that time, the black-robed sword was subconsciously retracted. He was about to say something when two figures suddenly jumped out from behind Qin Keqing.

The phoenix that was bathed in fire roared, and the black divine sword called out three thousand sword shadows.

Two killing moves whistled towards the black-clothed man's face.

Seeing this, the black-robed man's heart trembled and he didn't dare to be arrogant. He could only hurriedly withdraw his sword and summon the sword intent in his body to disperse the two killing moves. Only then could he stabilize his body.

"It's you again!" Xu Han landed in front of Qin Keqing and looked coldly at the black robe. At the same time, Ye Hongjian, who had also arrived at that time, helped Qin Keqing, who had fallen to the ground, to inquire about her condition with concern.

Xu Han turned to look at Qin Keqing behind him. After confirming that she was only injured, but not seriously injured, he raised his eyebrows and shouted again, "Who exactly are you?"

Even Xu Han was extremely tired of this person. He did not know the origin of the other party, but the other party seemed to know him as well as the palms of his fingers. Not only did he know the cultivation methods of the other party, but he also knew the cultivation methods of the people around him. Furthermore, it was as if his soul had not dissipated. He repeatedly attacked to find trouble for him.

Compared to the previous tensions, the rescue of Xu Han and Ye Hongjian had crushed his plot this time. However, he did not fight Xu Han as before. Instead, he stood there and looked at Qin Keqing behind Xu Han with a complicated gaze.

Then, he said to Qin Keqing, "His sword dao has become holy, and I am no longer his match. Remember what you said today, don't be a burden to anyone."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked into the darkness.

At that time, his body gradually fused with the darkness and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only his hoarse and deep voice was still there. It rang in the ears of Xu Han and the others, "Whether it was him or this world, they couldn't bear the slightest burden now."

"You guys do it yourself, and I do it myself…"

…

In Qingzhou, sixty kilometers west of Yanxia City, there was a village called Ximian Village.

The village is sparsely populated, But thirty families, Most of the people grew cotton and hunted for a living. However, over the past few days, the army that captured the children had constantly traveled around. In addition to the land lesions, most of the people in the village were terrified. Young people were able to flee with their families. Those who could go to relatives had gone to relatives. Only a few elderly people remained in Ximian Village.

Perhaps it was also because he felt that there was nothing to be salvaged here, The army that had been searching had come several times. After confirming that the village was no longer in its prime, they had completely forgotten about this place. Even the holy medicine had not been distributed. In the eyes of those in power, it would be an extremely wasteful thing to give a single holy medicine to these dying old men in the village.

As a result, Ximian Village became a paradise, at least the tragedy that occurred in various parts of Great Zhou did not take place here.

However, the changes in the soil made it difficult for crops and cotton to survive. In addition, the middle-aged people in the village had left. Hunting was obviously not something that the old people in the village could do. It seemed that they had no other choice but to wait for death.

Fortunately, a few days ago, a girl and an old man came to stay here. After most of the people in the village fled, many houses in the village were empty. The old men did not have any intention of making things difficult. They vacated a thatched cottage and let the old man and young man who claimed to be their apprentices live here. However, he did not expect the dusty two to become the saviors of the remaining old men in Ximian Village.

At that time, the girl was still carrying a yellow monkey. It was not surprising, but after hearing about the current situation of the old man in the village, the next day, the village head was piled up with rice that was like a small mountain. The little girl said it was for them, and the old people were grateful. They only treated this little girl as a deity sent from the sky, and they were even more respectful towards her.

At night, the little deity in the old man's heart suddenly sat up from his bed. She came to the door next door and looked through it. After confirming that Zhou Yuan, who was dressed in blue linen, had fallen asleep, she crept out of the door and trotted all the way to an empty hill near the entrance of Ximian Village.

At that time, the little fellow raised his head to look at the sky. There were not the slightest dark clouds, and the stars were densely packed on the dome.

However, strangely enough, the starlight seemed to encounter some obstacles. It could not completely shine into this world. The night was terrifyingly dark, as if the stars in the sky were just decorations. A gust of night wind blew by, and the bone-chilling chill caused the little fellow to shiver.

Xiao Nineteen finally let out an old sigh, "This winter seems to be much colder than before."

There were some changes happening in the world. She could not tell what those changes were, but she could clearly feel them.

This made Nineteen very uneasy. She had to do something to protect herself and her master. Of course, there was also Uncle Xu and the others. Little Nineteen felt that they were all very good people.

Thinking of this, the little fellow clenched his fists tightly, then pulled out a long saber that was a full head taller than her from behind him, and held it in his hand.

She began to wield her knife.

Slash after slash, his movements were somewhat clumsy, but his expression was exceptionally serious.

Su Mu'an had said that no matter how powerful a saber technique was in this world, it would not be able to escape a single slash. A single slash, a single sweep, a single slash. After practicing these moves, any saber technique that he learned in the future would be half the effort and twice the effort.

Nineteen did not believe Su Mu'an 's words. She also asked Xu Hanmeng Liang and the others about their cultivation methods. Although she had memorized these cultivation methods in her heart, they were still too profound for her now. It seemed that the only thing she could learn now was the "stupid method" that Su Mu'an taught her.

Even though she still had some doubts about Su Mu'an 's words in her heart, this was the only thing she could do now. Only by doing these things would she be able to ease the unease in her heart a little.

Therefore, she would come here alone to wield her saber every night when it was difficult for her to fall asleep.

After all, Little Nineteen was only nine years old. Waving such a broadsword, dense sweat quickly appeared on her forehead.

She put the saber in her hand to the side with some frustration and sat down on the ground with a flap. She muttered, "This girl is so hard working. If you know that this broken saber technique of yours is lying to me, just wait for me to tear your ears apart!"

Thinking of this, she sighed again and said, "If only I had the ability of Su Mu'an ."

Su Mu'an was not much older than her, but her ability was obvious to everyone. Although she would occasionally curse at him, Little Nineteen was still very envious of Su Mu'an 's excellent saber technique. Otherwise, how could she secretly practice her saber every day?

Da.

Da.

Little Nineteen thought about this, but suddenly, a soft sound came from behind him.

It was the soft sound of his horse boots stepping on the stone slab. Xiao Nineteen immediately regained his senses from his thoughts.

She grabbed the long saber on the ground and turned around. She put on a posture and shouted, "Who is it?"

Of course, no matter how well she put on her posture, no matter how much she held the long saber that was a head taller than her, it would make people feel ironic and ironic, and it would not have any deterrent power to speak of.

Da.

Da.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the sound of footsteps approaching him did not have the slightest intention of stopping. He walked closer and closer from the shadows not far away.

Nineteen could vaguely see that it was a thin figure dressed in black, but due to the misty night, he could not see his appearance clearly.

"Don't come over!" Although she usually acted in front of Xu Han and the others, she knew exactly how much ability she had. She took a step back and shouted at that person loudly. However, this method did not have any effect. That person continued to walk closer and closer to her.

Nineteen panicked, subconsciously wanting to touch the Dragon Trapping Powder on his waist, only to discover that it had already been wasted by his master a few days ago when Ah Huang brought them to find Xu Han.

When she realized that her last reliance was gone, Nineteen became even more panicked. She continued to retreat, but that person also continued to walk towards her. Finally, in the process of retreating like this, Nineteen had already retreated to the edge of the hill. She unconsciously slipped and leaned back, looking like she was about to fall from the cliff.

At that time, the black figure suddenly rushed forward. An old hand reached out and grabbed Nineteen's small hand, which was raised randomly because of panic. Then, the old hand exerted a slight force. At that time, Nineteen's body was lifted up by him and he escaped from the danger of falling into the cliff.

Xiao Nineteen, who had escaped from danger, gasped heavily for breath before remembering his own situation.

She raised her head in fear and looked at the black-clothed figure standing in front of her. Her mind had already started to plan a way to escape.

However, this thought dissipated the next moment when she saw the black-clothed man's appearance.

She changed her frightened attitude and stamped her feet in anger, saying discontentedly.

"Master, what are you doing!? Nineteen people are scared to death!"
