Chapter 1062 Knife
The angry Yuan Qiu drew his sword in his hand and killed Hu Qiong'er. Keren was stopped midway, and the scaly long sword whizzed by, a golden sound sounded, and the lingering sound made Yuan Qiu fly back.
"Lu Heng, what do you want to do!"
Yuan Qiu was furious, and after stabilizing his body, he turned around and charged again. This time, Lu Heng was the first to attack, and the scaled knife struck down with the overwhelming momentum of a mountain. Yuan Qiu could only stop and dodge temporarily.
Two swords forced Yuan Qiu back, but Lu Heng did not pursue him any further. He stood proudly on the spot with his long sword pointed at an angle, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Kill and silence?"
"I...!"
Yuan Qiu also calmed down at this time. He suddenly lost his sense of what happened just now. Looking back at it now, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Looking at Lu Heng, and then at the sullen Taoist Baijie, his eyes followed the people present, and when he saw that there was no longer respect in the eyes of his subordinates, but only suspicion and contempt, he suddenly understood something.
Thinking about it further, from Lu Heng's silence over the years, to Taoist Baijie's ambiguous attitude that he never made it clear, to Li Chu easily finding out the whereabouts of Yan Wuxu after returning to Taixu Palace, and even further inquiring. When he heard about the whereabouts of Ma Xiuwen and Hu Qiong'er, his heart suddenly became cold, and then it was burned with resentment and anger.
"You're playing tricks on me!"
"Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid!"
With a cold snort, Lu Heng stepped forward and pressed forward, not giving him any time to speak.
Yuan Qiu was forced to retreat steadily, with more and more knife wounds on his body, but his heart became clearer and clearer.
At this moment, he figured out a lot of things.
Lu Heng also wanted to clear out Taixu Palace, but just after the chaos in Taixu Palace was over, his eldest disciple unexpectedly became the biggest spy planted by Dayan. Lu Heng's responsibility for oversight was firmly established. , if the whole sect is wiped out again with cruel measures at this time, great chaos will probably occur in Taixu Palace.
It is a small matter for the disciples to be alienated, but if the peak masters and elders of each peak become alienated, the trouble will be big.
Therefore, Lu Heng needs a knife, a suitable and reasonable knife, but instead of him eradicating all hidden dangers without any scruples, the bad guys are all made by the knife, and the good guy is played by Lu Heng, who "suffers from anger".
And this knife is his own.
Lu Heng knew all about his ambitions. He knew that he was a wolf who couldn't get enough to eat. He would surrender and follow the strong, but once the strong carried out his ambitions, he would be prepared to be backlashed by him.
Lu Heng knew, but he didn't mind at all. When talking about this matter many times, Lu Heng bluntly said that he was very lucky to have his own existence. Not only did he have the ability, but he also had the ambition to spur him on at all times. Relax or you will be replaced in an instant.
Yuan Qiu himself has always enjoyed this alternative relationship. Some superiors and subordinates are like friends, and some are like enemies, but he believes that the best situation is this kind of friend-enemy situation. If you are strong, I will obey you, if you are weak, I will eat you, and you will be encouraged while chasing. This is the normal relationship between monks.
Any kind of support is the sympathy of the strong and the begging of the weak. Yuan Qiu has always scorned it. A root is most stable only when it is firmly rooted on its own. If it keeps growing close to other big trees, it will one day end up with the tree falling and the hozen scattered.
He and Lu Heng had always used scheming, and both parties knew each other's hearts. He never thought that Lu Heng, who had always been straightforward, would one day conspire against him, and he used such clumsy methods until today. Completely wake up.
This is not because he is stupid, nor is it because Lu Heng's methods are so clever, but because Lu Heng's "noble person" is so reassuring.
The existence of Taoist Baijie wiped out all Yuan Qiu's concerns. From his dissatisfaction with Lu Heng when Dayan was in trouble, to his severe rebuke of Lu Heng during the post-war rewards and punishments, Lu Heng's loss of power was well known. At this time, Taoist Baijie, on behalf of the Third Ancestor, expressed his implicit respect for him. How could he think too much about anything else?
Even though he was suspicious at first, Taoist Baijie's acquiescence and indulgence later made him gradually calm down, and at the same time, he also understood Taoist Baijie's bottom line little by little.
It is not allowed to hurt innocent disciples, but Taoist Baijie will not ask a single question after cutting off Lu Heng's wings.
Taoist Baijie's attitude successfully confused him, so much so that he didn't even think about the simplest question. If the Third Patriarch really intended to make him the leader, then why not just depose Lu Heng as the leader and announce that he would take over?
Proudly, he believed that this was a test, that the Third Patriarch was testing his abilities, and by the way, he was giving himself the opportunity to establish his prestige and cultivate a team.
But now that I think about it, it's not the case at all. The three old slickers are just watching a show. They are knives. Naturally, they hope that they will make a fuss as violent as possible. A well-measured knife will make Taixu Palace cleaner, and it won't be a pity to throw it away after being stained with dirty blood.
The funny thing is that he claims to be smart but is always blind. He once placed all his trust in Lu Heng on Taoist Baijie.
He should have seen what happened today, from the first time Taoist Baijie failed to stop Li Chuyi, to the sudden appearance of Lu Heng, and then to the closeness of Li Chuyi such as Ye Zhichen and Mu Xueqing. People came one after another, until finally the old guy broke the seal himself and took out such a "real" memory. He had so many opportunities to see through the mystery and save the situation, but he never, or did not dare to think deeply about it. .
Now it's better. The "ironclad evidence" that was both true and false made it hard for him to defend himself. In the end, he got a bad name for "killing people and silencing them." And in front of so many Motang disciples, there was no need for the crazy Li Chuyi. The boy has manipulated his emotions, and he has become the most treacherous and evil person in Taixu Palace.
Seeing Lu Heng slashing with his sword in an upright manner, Yuan Qiu suddenly smiled.
The head of Taixu Palace has remained the same from beginning to end, and he is Lu Heng.
Lu Heng has not aged, he is still the domineering sword that makes him helpless.
"come!"
He took the knife without dodging or blocking. His chest exploded and his muscles and bones were in pain, but Yuan Qiu felt very refreshed.
I have seen through everything and let go of everything. At this moment, all desires for fame, wealth and power were forgotten. He just wanted to have a good fight with Lu Heng.
Fight for yourself.
How could he be willing to work hard all his life, only to realize when he was about to reach the end that the mirror was in the mirror?
It would be fine if he lost openly, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't even have the slightest chance. Everything was fake and was a trap set by others. He was very angry and aggrieved.
Even if his legacy is a foregone conclusion, he still has to show his prestige in this final battle.
He violently stimulated his Dantian, his magic power exploded, and the secret method of transforming the Tao flowed in his heart. He risked his life to make these people pay the price.
How can the Tao Transformation in the Ascension Stage be ordinary? Seeing Yuan Qiu working hard, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Ye Zhichen unsheathed his long sword and prepared to cut it down first, but Taoist Bai Jie had already stepped forward. He raised his big hand as if it was pulling up the sky, and struck Yuan Qiu's Dantian with unparalleled force. .
Without even making a sound, Yuan Qiu fell straight to the ground and climbed out of the big hole after a moment, with a sad smile on his face.
Taoist Baijie controlled his power very delicately. His Dantian was shattered but not scattered, but all the surrounding meridians were severed. He had used this method before, so he knew very well that Taoist Bai Jie did not miss, but was giving him a chance to choose.
If he obeys, his Dantian will still have a chance to recover; if he doesn't, as long as he hits it with a little more force, he will become a cripple even if he doesn't die.
"What a sin! You made a big mistake and didn't repent, but you still dare to be cruel. Are you worthy of your dead master and the ancestors of Taixu Palace?!"
Taoist Baijie's angry scolding made Yuan Qiu's smile grow even stronger.
He could beat him to a pulp with one palm, but he couldn't control a brat. He didn't even think about it. It was really ridiculous to think about it at this time.
He had no magic power but could not use it, and the injuries on his body could no longer support him. Yuan Qiu coughed blood and sat on the ground.
Lu Hengfei fell down and stood proudly in front of him, looking down at him. He had not seen that look in his eyes for decades.
"Yuan Qiu, admit your mistake. You just made a mistake. Considering your past achievements, my ancestor will definitely give you a lighter sentence, and I will also intercede for you. It is not easy for you to rise to the top. Now the Immortal Gate is about to open, you may not have no chance. , Don’t let your road run out of steam!
plead?
Yuan Qiu smiled.
He wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but he was the winner and the loser, and his integrity did not allow him to engage in such a meaningless verbal dispute.
After thinking about it, he suddenly became curious and said in a voice that only the two of him could hear: "You know very well that your little apprentice's running away has nothing to do with me. I really want to know whether it was your idea or our old man's. idea?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Heng said softly: "Admit your mistake, and then follow us back to Taixu Palace to heal."
There was no answer. Yuan Qiu's eyes wandered around Lu Heng and Taoist Baijie for a few times, and finally glanced at Li Chuyi. His brows relaxed and tightened again, until Lu Heng pressed the question again. Only then did he come back to his senses.
"Ruthless enough."
Yuan Qiu nodded gently.
"Enough!"
A cold light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, and Yuan Qiu chuckled: "But this is the Ba Dao I know! I lost this battle between us."
After saying that, Yuan Qiu struggled to stand up with his sword in hand.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you. You also know my personality. Win is win, lose is lose. When I go back, I will cooperate with you to take care of your funeral. There is no need to treat the injury. Help me after the incident. Just find a good place to bury yourself.”
"you..."
Without giving Lu Heng another chance to persuade him, Yuan Qiu turned the hilt of his sword and struck it hard on his Dantian. The remaining spiritual energy in the long sword was instantly poured into his Dantian, which was already in danger. The meridians bulged, and the skin and flesh squirmed as if there were countless small insects swimming inside.
Lu Heng's face darkened, and he quickly took action to seal his dantian, which prevented his dantian from exploding. Taoist Bai Jie also changed his expression, took out a pill and flew down.
Holding the limp Yuan Qiu, Lu Heng sighed.
"Why bother?"
"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it, my road is at an end."
Looking over Lu Heng's shoulder, Yuan Qiu looked at Taoist Baijie flying down, with a flash of self-mockery in his eyes.
"I am the Master of Silence. I know better than anyone else that some people cannot live. Lu Heng, be careful, I am Dao, you...hehe..."
