Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 312 Threats from Outside

There is a bright moon rising over the sea, shining brightly.

The sound of water dripping onto the ground could be heard, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and blood.

You Su walked forward. The pure moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches, making the corpse hanging on the branch look pale.

A rope was hung around Huang Xi's neck, his head drooped limply, and his hands were stuck in the ground like upside down onions, with blood flowing out from the gaps in his arms.

Seeing this, You Su unconsciously clenched his fists, with his knuckles bulging.

He expected that the battle for the fairy island would be filled with blood and gore, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly. On the first day, people were already lying dead on the isolated island.

He looked around. With the tree where Huang Xi was hanging as the center, there was no grass growing within a ten-meter radius, only black soil. The soil was covered with cracks and depressions, and the messy footprints and blood were enough to prove that this was a bloody battle.

It was clearly just today that he met this simple monk, and their time together was extremely brief, but You Su was deeply impressed by this monk.

He is not selfish at all, as can be seen from his contented attitude towards treasures. Perhaps he would not be a good seeker, but he would definitely be a good senior brother, a disciple whom the teacher is most reluctant to criticize.

When they parted, they were still laughing and discussing how he was the first to leave the island, but he didn't even have the chance to tear up the teleportation talisman...

When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. He had clearly decided to quit while he was ahead and didn't even have any idea about the inheritance. He was just an insignificant speculator, so why did he bring about a fatal disaster?
In the quiet night, only You Su's heavy breathing echoed.

Vendetta?

You Su felt that this should not be possible. Huang Xi was just a remote cultivator, and his character was obviously good. How could he have such deep grievances and entanglements?
Having an argument over something?
That’s not right… Huang Xi was even polite when he came to me, who was at the Condensation Water Realm, to ask for the Floating Light Grass. How could he possibly argue with someone?

Thinking of the Floating Light Grass, You Su hurriedly ran behind him, but found that the sack on his back was nowhere to be seen.

Sure enough, he was tempted by money and wanted to kill and rob...

This is not a rare thing in the world of immortal cultivation, and it is even commonplace. It's just that You Su is either trapped in Chuyun City or staying in the Xuanxiao Sect, the largest sect in Zhongyuan Continent, and has not been exposed to the darkness of the world of immortal cultivation.

But You Su felt something was wrong. If it was just for Huang Xi's gain, why did he have to kill him? Why not let him go, or give him a chance to tear up the teleportation talisman and leave the island? Why did he have to cut off his hands and hang them here as if to vent his anger?
You Su was puzzled. Looking at the fairy island which was half-bright and half-dark under the moonlight, he felt deeply uneasy.

You Su drew out the Mosong sword, and with a flash of sword light, Huang Xi's body fell down.

You Su held it tightly and closed his eyes, which were about to die with his eyes open, with an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

The world has lost another good person, but unfortunately the deceased is gone, and You Su is unlikely to chase the murderer thousands of miles away just for a simple friendship.

You Su's fingers flew, his lips moved, and a spell was formed. The black soil at his feet softened on its own. You Su simply dug and marked it, and then he easily dug out a grave.

This softening earth technique was one of the new techniques he had learned, and its purpose was to allow him to escape when trapped in a cave. However, he did not expect that the first time he would use it was to dig a grave for someone.

Just when You Su grabbed Huang Xi's body, a cloud blocked the bright moon, and black completely swallowed up the fairy island.

You Su's black pupils have many magical uses. As early as the night when he killed Master Ling, he knew that his black pupils had the ability of night vision. However, this kind of night vision is not absolute, as it can only see living things.

Or rather...something with temperature.

There was no light and no living creatures around, so You Su relied on his divine sense, which was as flexible as his own arm. However, he was shocked to find that the range that his divine sense could explore was even smaller!
During the day, he could see ten meters, but at night, it was only eight meters...

Such an environment made him feel terrified. Immortal Zhengyang intended to make the night more dangerous.

He had no choice but to concentrate his mind and be alert to any disturbance around him.

But he was originally blind, and his hearing was far beyond that of ordinary monks.

Just as You Su dragged Huang Xi's body into the grave, a rustling sound was heard. Although You Su was still squatting, he immediately went into a state of preparation, with his muscles ready to go.

In the darkness, two figures can be vaguely seen, one tall and one short, very close to each other, and seem to be together.

"Brother, the sound came from over there!"

You Su vaguely saw that the shorter figure was pointing towards him.

"Go find it." The tall monk nodded.

You Su was slightly surprised. It was true that he made some noise while digging and moving the corpse, but these two people did not have any lighting equipment such as fire, and they came very quickly, as if they were not affected by the darkness at all, and went straight to where he was.

You know, even the Third Elder was amazed at the strength of You Su's consciousness, saying that he had completely reached the level of the upper stage of Condensed Water, but You Su knew that this was the result of his restraint. Of course, even he himself didn't know the reason, and guessed that it was because of those memory fragments.

But even his detection range was only eight meters, so there was no way these people could detect him so far away. Then how dare they rush so recklessly towards a place where there were obviously people at night? Aren't they afraid of an ambush?
Do they have special powers? Or are they just dumb and reckless people?

It was because of this hesitation that the two men had already approached, but You Su had no intention of escaping at all. After all, Huang Xi's funeral was only halfway through.

"Don't come over." You Su said coldly.

The two men indeed stopped, and the taller one asked:
"Brother, are you alone?"

"It has nothing to do with you. If you come any closer, your life or death will be in danger." You Su's tone was still as cold as a sword covered with frost.

"You are just a lower-level Condensation Water Realm cultivator, yet you are so arrogant! My senior brother wants to protect you, but why are you so ungrateful?!" The short cultivator pointed at You Su angrily.

"Junior brother, I have already told you that you must be cautious on this island. It is reasonable for this fellow Taoist to be wary of us." The tall monk obviously saw things more clearly.

"I don't need your protection, just go away." You Su didn't want to start a conflict without reason.

"My fellow Daoist, you don't know that although there is a teleportation talisman to save your life, many murders have occurred on the island, which shows that the teleportation talisman is by no means foolproof. I see that your realm is not high and you are alone, so I want to invite you to join us. We can huddle together for warmth and spend the night in peace." The tall monk's voice was sincere.

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm used to being alone." You Su refused coldly.

The tall cultivator was relentless, "Don't be nervous, fellow Daoist. I am Yu Jichang, a disciple of the Xingyue Sect of Nanyangzhou, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Cha Ao. We are definitely not bad people. I will light a fire and take a look. You will believe me when you see the token in my hand."

"In this dark night, lighting a fire is like telling everyone that you are here."

You Su had also heard of the Xingyue Sect, a first-rate immortal family on the Tianqi Divine Mountain in Nanyang Continent. The names of these two disciples were much more famous than Huang Xi, and both of them were at the upper level of Condensation Water.

But You Su still held the hilt of the sword. This was a dark jungle and dangers might be lurking everywhere. Exposing his position would be tantamount to seeking death.

Maybe even... the danger is just around the corner.

"It doesn't matter. Do we have to hide in the dark? Lighting a fire may attract evildoers, but it can also gather people who follow the right path. If no one lights a fire, I will be the only light in the night."

What this person said was indeed noble, but unfortunately You Su could not stand such high-sounding words:

"If you want to die, stay away and don't take my picture."

"What's so shameful about you? Why can't you take the photo?" Cha Ao obviously had lost his patience with You Su.

"Chaao, have you forgotten the teachings of my Star and Moon religion? The stars and the moon are the only lights in the night, and they should illuminate everyone."

After Yu Jichang taught his junior fellow apprentice a lesson, he took out a torch. Then, with a flash of orange light, a blazing fire began to burn.

The area within a radius of several meters was instantly illuminated, and the two men finally saw You Su's figure clearly. They looked at him for a moment and then looked at each other, as if they had confirmed something.

But the next moment, the two of them looked at the corpse that was half in the grave with horror.

They quickly glanced around, and Cha Ao seemed to understand something instantly, and said in panic:
"Brother! He killed someone! No wonder he didn't want you to light the fire!"

You Su frowned and was about to explain when he was interrupted.

"My fellow Taoist! I thought you were a fellow Taoist, but I didn't expect you to be no different from those beasts who eat human flesh!"

Yu Jichang showed disappointment, but his eyes were staring at You Su viciously, as if he wanted to avenge the corpse in the pit.

"he……"

"Stop talking nonsense! Prepare to die!" Cha Ao's face suddenly changed, and he roared and rushed forward at a rapid speed.

Cha Ao's moves were extremely brutal, as if there was an invisible blade in his hand, heading straight for the heart.

You Su frowned and had to accept the attack. The long sword at his waist was already unsheathed, and his figure was like a black lightning, attacking Cha Ao who was close at hand.

The two were not far apart. A distance of ten feet was no different from a face-to-face confrontation for You Su. The explosive power of the cultivators of the same realm was far inferior to his, so he had no chance to dodge. At the moment of the confrontation, Yu Jichang's expression changed:
"stop!"

Unfortunately, this shout did not hinder You Su's sword momentum at all, but instead made his fellow apprentice hesitate.

In a flash, a gust of wind blew by, and the torch in Yu Jichang's hand flickered for a moment, and a string of blood splashed on his cheek.

It was the blood of his junior fellow apprentice Cha Ao.

Cha Ao looked at his broken arm lying on the ground, his numb consciousness had not even reacted to the sudden severe pain.

"You're looking for death!" Cha Ao covered his wound that was bleeding profusely, feeling pain and hatred, and his veins bulged as he said, "I'm going to chop off your hands!"

Yu Jichang's expression also became extremely sinister. He angrily stuck the torch into the ground, his aura rising steadily.

He had never imagined that a mere lower-level Condensation Water Realm cultivator could cut off the arm of his junior fellow cultivator who was at the upper-level Condensation Water Realm with just one strike. This certainly seemed like Cha Ao was being overconfident, but it was still too unbelievable.

"who are you?"

"Huang Xi's friend. Yes, Huang Xi is him."

You Su pointed his sword at the corpse in the grave, and he was suddenly glad that he had not buried him too early, otherwise how could he witness the moment of revenge with his own eyes.

"It seems like you figured it out..." Yu Jichang gritted his teeth fiercely.

You Su shook his head, "You exposed yourself too quickly. You were so indiscriminate and impatient to act, which shows that your original intention was to kill me."

"You are a lower-level condenser! I can crush you to death with just a flick of my hand! I shouldn't have listened to my senior brother and talked to you first to test the water! I should have just attacked you directly!" Cha Ao had already used magic to stop the bleeding from the wound.

"The thief cries thief, a classic tactic." You Su bent his body like a bow ready to move. "I was wondering why you guys ran so fast. Now that I think about it, you guys are actually very familiar with this place, so you dared to run so fast."

"You are smart and cautious, but you have no chance to avenge your brother." Yu Jichang's fists suddenly flashed with a light blue light, dazzling and soul-stirring. "Hand over your teleportation talisman, and we can let you go."

"Did you also say the same thing to Huang Xi?" You Su asked.

"No, he is easier to fool than you..." Yu Jichang smiled sinisterly.

"But he's not easy to fool." Being honest doesn't mean you're stupid.

"He is not easy to deceive, but he seems to have just found the last herb for his junior sister. He was ready to tear up the letter and leave, so his vigilance has naturally dropped a lot. Otherwise, with his strength, we two brothers would have suffered a lot if we had confronted him head-on. You say that a country bumpkin from such a country bumpkin place is really hard to deal with..."

The truth behind Huang Xi's death was revealed in these cold words.

This simple monk, when he was about to fulfill his wish, must have allowed the two men to get close to him out of good intentions, but in the end he lost his life because of his credulity.

You Su held the Mosong sword tightly, and the Mosong sword trembled again, responding to You Su's murderous intent that could not be concealed.

He would not travel thousands of miles to seek revenge for Huang Xi, but the enemy was right in front of him, and You Su didn't mind getting rid of him as soon as possible.

An explosion that tore through the air was heard, and You Su rushed forward like thunder.

He was obviously more skilled in fighting than his junior brother, and his fists were already ready.

But facing You Su's devastating sword force, he had no intention of avoiding it, but chose to fight hard!
You Su immediately understood his intention. He was deliberately trying to entangle him so that the one-armed Cha Ao could join the battle!

He never thought of winning on his own from the beginning!
You Su did not dare to fight and separated from the fist filled with energy as soon as it came into contact with him. The sharp knife in Cha Ao's hand appeared behind him like a ghost.

"I'm going to chop you up!"

You Su's figure spun like a ghost, and his Ruyi Wind Controlling Technique came in handy again! He dodged the pincer attack in a way that a Water Condensation Realm cultivator could never do.

"Quick victory."

Yu Jichang glanced at the burning torch, warned in a cold voice, then suddenly sped up, his punches becoming more and more fierce. Coupled with Cha Ao's harassment, You Su was inevitably forced to defend passively.

The two men's attacks had their own methods. The fist led him towards the path of the knife, and the knife forced him towards the landing point of the fist.

This pair of brothers worked together very closely, just like habitual criminals who often committed crimes and murders together.

You Su was keeping his mind focused and deliberately lured the enemy deeper into his territory. He found the right opportunity and suddenly jumped high up.

Even though the two were surprised, they also felt that You Su, who fell into the air, was asking for trouble!
It's now--

You Su opened his dark eyes and slashed down with the sword in one hand.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had fought with anyone, but he had never stopped honing his sword skills!

The sword energy is like a rainbow!

The inky black sword edge landed on the two fists, and the blue light on it instantly went out. A look of surprise flashed in Cha Ao's eyes. He seemed to see a black dragon piercing through the fire in the darkness, and smashing his senior brother's arms into pieces.

Yu Jichang flew backwards for more than ten meters, leaving a deep groove on the ground. He then crashed into a tree and barely managed to steady himself. He tilted his head and found that he was already dead.

Cha Ao looked at You Su who turned towards him, and felt as if he had seen the god of death in the dark night. His knees trembled and he knelt down directly. He kowtowed repeatedly:
"Sir, please have mercy on me and don't kill me!"

You Su just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at an ant.

Although the realms of these two people are at the upper level of Condensed Water, their aura is far inferior to Huang Xi. It would be impossible to kill Huang Xi without a sneak attack or some underhanded trick.

You Su drew out his sword and pressed it against Zha Ao's lower abdomen, aiming at the spiritual platform under his abdomen.

Cha Ao's veins suddenly stretched, and he felt the sword energy surging in his abdomen. If he didn't obey the command, his internal organs would be shattered in an instant.

"Give me Huang Xi's things and your invitation letter."

Cha Ao's knees were shaking as he took out a large sack from his bag.

"Where's the invitation? Where did you put it? I'll get it for you!"

You Su thrust his sword and had already pierced through Cha Ao's coat.

It is definitely better to hide a treasure like the teleportation talisman in a convenient place than in the Qiankun bag. In a life-and-death situation, the sooner the talisman is torn off, the better.

But Chaao hesitated, and his tears and urine flowed out:
"Sir, I don't have an invitation letter... Huang Xi's invitation letter is with my senior brother, but he is dead!"

You Su frowned, "Where's your invitation? If you don't have it, why didn't you give you Huang Xi's invitation?"

"Not only do I not have it, my senior brother doesn't have it either! We set up this trap just to steal the invitation letter from you!"

You Su was stunned, then stabbed again with force, drawing blood:

"Your invitation was stolen?"

"No! We didn't have it in the first place!"

"No? Then how did you get into the island?"

"Your Excellency, I don't say that you must have an invitation letter to enter the island!" Cha Ao couldn't help but fall back, trying to keep the sword further away from him.

"Speak clearly!" You Su pushed forward again with a ferocious look.

"As everyone knows, there are only 360 people who received the invitation letter... Among these 360 ​​people, there are not all the talents in the world. Many people who were not selected were dissatisfied and felt that there were many unqualified people among the 360 ​​people. So after you all entered the island, Zhenxian Zhengyang selected many people from the onlookers and sent them to the island... Zhenxian Zhengyang gave us the opportunity to enter the island and grab the talisman. Whoever can grab the talisman will be invited..."

Cha Ao was horrified, but he confessed everything without reservation.

"Sir, please don't kill me! I will tear up the talisman and leave the island right now. I won't dare to offend you again!"

However, You Su raised his sword and slashed it, and his neck and body were separated.

He turned around and looked behind him. As expected, the burning fire attracted a lot of prying eyes.
