Chapter 22: I Have a Sword to Pray for Peace!
Even if the torch flickered on the wall, the long night was still full of a heavy atmosphere.
But it broke when that water-like bright sword light shot out.
Broke like glass.
Roll down like glass slag.
Yu Ying felt that her eyes were covered with a layer of frosted glass, and the world she saw was blurred.
This is not a bad thing.
When the world is shrouded in darkness and fog, the figure of the woman standing in the center of the world is highlighted.
That woman is proud.
She held the sword as if she was the brightest light in the world.
Yu Ying gently brushed away the tears from her eyes.
She was saved.
But she was not happy about it.
She still remembered the words Bai Lian shouted, "I care about her life!"
At this moment, she is no longer a person born for a sword!
In this world, besides her mother, there is another person who cares about her.
She will remember this sentence until the day she dies.
Hence.
When the light dissipated, Yu Ying finally regained awareness and saw the people standing on the wall crash into the ground like sandbags.
There were no wounds on them, but they had stopped breathing.
"Who are you?"
The woman who threatened Yu Ying was trembling.
Looking at Bai Lian's calm eyes, she felt that she saw a dead sea.
It was impossible for her not to be afraid.
Especially when the sword on Yu Ying's neck broke into countless specks inch by inch, she felt her neck was gripped by an invisible hand.
She felt short of breath and stiff-limbed, so she could only watch as the top-grade Magic Tool was completely destroyed.
But it was not over yet.
Her hand that was holding the sword also began to disappear inch by inch.
It was neither bloody nor painful, and the white light emitted when her hand was eliminated was very ethereal.
"No, no, I don't want to die yet… Stop…"
Her eyes were desperate.
Bai Lian said nothing.
She completely got rid of the darkness of the village and walked into a world illuminated by orange and red flames.
She stopped in front of Yu Ying and slowly extended her hand.
Yu Ying's eyes shone with an unknown light. She looked at the hand gently falling on the wound made by the sword on her neck.
It felt cool.
The next moment, she was immediately wrapped in a warm world.
Yu Ying smelled a smell that was sweeter than honey.
It's mom's smell!
She squinted and didn't want to pull away from this comfortable place.
But happiness has a time limit.
Bai Lian removed her hand after she healed Yu Ying's wounds and the flowers completely withered.
She looked at Yu Ying's pink neck and nodded with satisfaction.
Great!
There is no scar at all.
Since she learned "Thousands of Flowers", she no longer stored those low-level healing medical pills.
Master, please accept my most sincere thanks!
"Miss An Yue."
Yu Ying shyly turned away. She should not be crying, but Miss An Yue must have seen her tears.
This is unlike the "free and easy" and "self-supporting" Yu Ying at all.
"Hold your tongue and wait for me."
Bai Lian patted Yu Ying on the shoulder.
Of course, it's not over yet.
She turned around, and the ferocious woman was still alive.
Bai Lian didn't intend to kill her so quickly, but just dissolved her arm with her water-type spirit Qi.
In fact, Bai Lian could cut off the woman's arm with one sword.
She just thought it would be a little too fast, not impressive enough.
It's better to add some Special Effects with her spirit Qi!
Obviously, Bai Lian was right.
With this Special Effect, the woman was paralyzed by fear. She knelt down on the ground and couldn't even move a finger.
At this time, if Yu Ying was a little fierce, she could pierce her Dantian with one sword and disable her cultivation base.
"Look at me!"
Bai Lian shouted lightly.
The woman raised her head in alarm.
In the face of the questions raised by Bai Lian, she answered all the questions without hesitation.
"You, you can't kill me. I'm the guard of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an."
Bai Lian stole a look at Yu Ying.
Living in a rich family, it's like sinking into the sea. This poem was true.
So, Miss Yu Ying, is this your real identity?
She had tried many times before but failed to find out Yu Ying's true identity.
Yu Ying immediately nodded when she noticed Bai Lian's eyes.
Since the identity has been exposed, there is no need to continue to hide.
"I am indeed the fourth young lady of the Marquis of Wu'an."
Naturally, she wanted to break the woman who tried to kill her into pieces, but she could not kill her.
"Marquis Wu'an is a very narrow-minded person. Even though she is just a guard, if she is killed by others without his consent, he will retaliate at any cost."
Yu Ying is grateful that Miss An came when she was most desperate. Because of this, she can't let Miss An continue to be involved in this trouble.
Because Miss An will not only face the pressure from Marquis Wu'an, but also the Emperor of Heluo!
The woman followed Yu Ying's words and said, "Marquis Wu'an and the current emperor were playmates when they were young. If anything happens to Marquis Wu'an, the emperor will certainly pay attention to it."
"The relationship is quite complicated."
Bai Lian nodded.
But what does it have to do with her?
She still held her sword, "Who will know I killed you?"
The woman's face stiffened.
If Bai Lian wants to kill her, it's as easy as pie. She doesn't need any intrigue at all. She just needs to brandish her sword.
But…
She struggled and shouted, "I'm here to work for the eldest daughter, who is the favorite daughter of Marquis Wu'an. If I die here, the eldest daughter will hate the fourth lady even more!"
Unless you are willing to abandon Yu Ying, you can't just kill me here!
Bai Lian smiled, "It's very simple. After killing you, I will take Miss Yu Ying to wander around the world."
This is not possible!
Yu Ying immediately widened her eyes.
Running away won't work.
The strength of Heluo is strong. Except for the four major sects, no force dares to say that its strength is stronger than Heluo.
Miss An, this wandering is likely to be for a lifetime!
She has been trapped, and she can't let Miss An also fall into it.
Yes.
She enjoyed her time with Miss An very much. She wanted to taste more of the sweetness of Miss An, but Miss An didn't belong to her.
"Miss An Yue!" Yu Ying walked quickly to Bai Lian. She took a deep look at the woman and then said with clenched teeth, "Let her go. You don't need to kill her for me. There are lovely Martial Sisters waiting for you in your sect."
She remembered the paper windmill spinning in the evening wind.
Miss An must like her Martial Sisters very much.
Bai Lian stared at Yu Ying expressionless.
After a long time, she said, "You are stupid."
"Yes, I'm stupid."
Yu Ying's sight blurred again.
Hold still.
This is in front of Miss An, and I must not let my tears fall.
Bai Lian pointed at the woman with her sword, "Remember what I told you before?"
Yu Ying nodded forcefully, "I remember every word Miss An said."
The corners of Bai Lian's mouth were slightly raised.
"Miss Yu, it seems that I have to help you review again."
Yu Ying sniffled, "After all, I'm stupid."
Bai Lian said, "I said I hope you won't be cheated by villains again."
"I…"
"Hold your tongue and listen carefully!"
Look hard and study hard.
Bai Lian didn't directly press Yu Ying's lips with her fingers, but the gentle scolding made Yu Ying subconsciously close her mouth.
"If I said I would let her go, she would certainly say -" Bai Lian changed her voice deliberately, "Don't worry, as long as you let me go, I will not report anything to the eldest lady!"
The woman's face suddenly turned to the color of a pig's liver.
"Do you think she is telling the truth or lying? I'll let you think for ten breaths."
If I hold my breath, will it last forever?
Yu Ying lowered her head, like a rebuked student, and whispered, "It's a lie."
"That's right." Bai Lian laughed, "Letting her go will put you in a bigger crisis."
"But…"
Bai Lian interrupted Yu Ying's words, "Miss Yu, actually I lied to you."
"Huh?"
Yu Ying exclaimed.
She forgot to wipe the tears from her eyes.
Bai Lian said seriously, "After killing her, I didn't plan to take you to wander around the world."
"……”
That's good.
In this way, Miss An will not be targeted by Marquis Wu'an.
Bai Lian smiled, "Because I am not a person who likes to force others, I will take you to where you want to go."
Yu Ying froze.
Where does she want to go?
Does she really want to go somewhere?
When she was seriously thinking about this problem, Bai Lian walked to the woman.
The smell of death was fast approaching.
Under the oppression of Bai Lian's massive Divine Sense, the woman could not move. She could only shout in a panic, "Stop, stop, don't do anything stupid. If you let me go, I really won't tell anyone what happened here."
Bai Lian was unmoved.
In fact, she had seen the task.
[Task 1: Kill the woman in front of you (Reward: best-quality Magic Tool: Eternal Moon Lamp)]
[Task 2: Let the woman go (Reward: Qi Gathering Pill)]
The best Magic Tool?
Even so, she will kill the woman.
The woman continued to shout, "You will regret it. Unless you escape to the boundless sea, no matter where you hide, you can't escape the pursuit of Marquis Wu'an!"
But the risk of killing you is only a best-quality Magic Tool!
Bai Lian looked indifferently at her.
This is probably the mentality that is granted to her by the Innocent Heart.
She knew that she was trapped by the word "death" and could die suddenly at any time, but she never suffered from any internal demon.
Bai Lian raised her sword.
"Don't come here, go away, don't come here."
Bai Lian cut her down cleanly.
This sword cut off the woman's hope and Yu Ying's reserve.
When the woman's body broke into countless light dots, Bai Lian looked back and smiled at Yu Ying.
I have a sword that can't move mountains, break rivers, empty the sea, or open the sky, but it can bring you peace.
The evening wind blew.
Yu Ying suddenly realized that it was almost Tomb Sweeping Day.
This is the time to expel the old and bring in the new.
