Chapter 510: A cunning and treacherous person (asking for monthly tickets)

On this point, Xu Shu did not lie.

The reason why he had done such an outrageous thing before, letting the Red Emperor Army attack Luo Lan and indirectly killing "Hong Yan", was for two purposes.

One reason was to test whether the lamb present at the time was the one transformed by Hong Yan. After all, Xiaoya’s puppet could only save one, and it would be troublesome if she saved the wrong one.

Secondly, of course there is also a selfish motive, which is to test whether Hong Jun is really "unaware"!
Although it is a guess that Hong Jun's previous way of judging that he was an enemy was through some principle that caused Hong Yan's death, this principle is obviously related to the "rogue" approach.

After all, this is an extraordinary profession related to death and killing. Although being able to directly track down the murderer who killed your blood relatives is a bit metaphysical, it is also normal.

But guessing is guessing, but we have to verify it, right? What if it is not the case, but someone tipped her off, and she is in fact in league with Voodoo?
Some things are not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of just in case.

After all, I really can't beat her.

That's why Xu Shu did this.

Looking back now with hindsight, Xu Shu can only say that the choice he made on a whim was absolutely the right one!
Both objectives were achieved.

It not only confirmed that Hong Yan had nothing to do with the Red Emperor Army, Voodoo and others, and was not an enemy; it also confirmed the relationship between the lamb at the scene and Hong Yan - "no relationship" is also a kind of relationship!
At least now we know that if we want to save Hong Yan, we have to think long-term and find the "scapegoat" that really corresponds to her.

So, this is really a great plan that kills two birds with one stone!
[Wow, you are amazing. You can even make up for it. You are flattering yourself. You are worthy of being the "Dragon Elephant" with a thick skin like a city wall! ]

[Hong Jun didn’t know your little plan, nor did he answer your excuses. Instead, he looked at you with a cold face, and after a moment, he muttered to himself: "The murderer's breath extends to this place..."]

[As he spoke, Hong Jun slightly closed his eyes, as if he was grasping some kind of breath in the air that was invisible to the naked eye.]

[You are a little nervous, not knowing what the other person's attitude is.]

【With your knowledge, you certainly don’t know what this ability is. 】

[But it doesn't matter. The Taichu Volume checked for you. This ability is the unique skill of the second stage of the "Rogue" path: "Searching for the Roots"! ]

[Through this ability, the "Assassin" can mark the enemy who has fought against or killed him, and lock and track him in a mysterious field within a certain range. Because of its special function, it is also commonly referred to as "Revenge"] (Note 1)

[Hong Jun went a step further and allowed this skill to cover Hong Yan, who was related to her by blood. This shows how profound her attainments are! ]

[After some exploration, Hong Jun's eyes swept from you and the corpses on the ground, and finally locked onto the "Soul Catcher" who was beaten into a sieve by you. ]

[There is no doubt that this means that the blow that caused Hong Yan to be injured and die in the just fight was delivered by this person.]

[After tracing back to the source and discovering the "real murderer", Hong Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the body of the "soul-stealer" into his hand, then tore the body into pieces with gnashing teeth.]

[After doing all this, she suppressed her emotions, looked at you and said, "The man from the treacherous sect, Xu Shu?"]

[“Sister, do you recognize me?” Your heart skipped a beat, and then you cursed loudly, knowing that it must be Yan Hui’s gang that spread your image, which would make you lose a layer of protection. You will remember this grudge.]

[Hong Jun glanced at the pool of Slaanesh Chosen that had melted on the ground and said indifferently, "I've heard of it. It's very consistent with your nickname."]

She didn't dwell on this matter and continued, "It can be seen that you are not very familiar with my sister, so you even misidentified her relics."

[This finally answers the question you just tried to use to prove your innocence. As he spoke, Hong Yan took out a musket-shaped object: "This is her relic. When I arrived, she only had a little... a little... remaining flesh and blood!"]

[Speaking of this, Hong Jun seemed to have tears in his eyes. Perhaps even a strong man like him would feel extremely sad and angry when facing the death of his closest sisters and relatives.]

[At this point, you secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because from the other party's tone, you judged that your suspicion of murder had been cleared by the other party's own ability to solve cases. Praise for "tracing the source"! ]

[Is this really the case? ]

[Now you look at that musket again, and finally find it familiar. Then you remember that it is indeed Hong Yan's cursed tool, and you have seen it many times before. So memories of both the distant and recent times come to your mind: the loneliness and helplessness of begging everywhere in your childhood, the anger and reluctance of Senior Sister Xinyi throwing herself into the arms of others, and the dilemma of finally getting what you wanted under the gaze of the evil god...]

"I see! It seems that Hong Jun tracked down Hong Yan's body first, and then set out from there and tracked her here? No wonder it took her so long to get here..."

"Uh, wait a minute."

Xu Shu's expression suddenly froze as he realized something was wrong.

Everything was fine and the misunderstanding between us was resolved, but the Taichu Volume suddenly started to show me a revolving lantern for no apparent reason?
Are you really addicted to watching Senior Sister Xinyi?
[As perceptive as you are, I suddenly sense that your situation is not good. 】

[Sure enough, the next second you heard Hong Jun, who was crying with her hands covering her face, utter a cold and hoarse voice:——]

[“Although you and my sister are not very familiar with each other, seeing how you cried so sadly and heart-wrenchingly just now, I believe you must have admired her for a long time. In this case, you should go down and accompany her. Although you cannot be born on the same day, you can die on the same day. Don’t let her go alone too lonely, right? My good brother-in-law!”]

[With a cold rebuke, Hong Jun suddenly raised his head, his eyes red, and with a "clang" sound of a dragon's roar, the long sword was unsheathed! ]

[Instantly, the sword energy was boundless, the death energy was endless, sweeping across the fields, the extremely powerful force forced the underground river next to it to retreat a hundred meters, rushing towards you from all directions with a killing force, and wanting to take your head again! ]

【“??? Wait a minute! What are you doing?” You were horrified and activated Jingwei to hold on for a moment. 】

[“Stop talking nonsense, you are a cunning person, you are really treacherous! All this is your conspiracy, right? Humph, go down and explain to my sister!”]

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sound was like the clanging of metal clashing, and the sword energy overwhelmed Xu Shu, making his skin crack and blood spurt out.

"stop!"

"stop it now!"

"Let's talk it out!"

“You can’t do this! You can’t f*cking do this~~~”

Xu Shu's eyes were bigger than copper bells.

He really didn't react. They were just chatting fine, but Hong Jun suddenly started to fight. And the reason for the fight was too outrageous.

I'm so mad! I said I didn't kill your sister, so you want to kill me too?

Well, although I just performed a little too much and do look a little suspicious, it is understandable that you suspect me, but no matter what, it is not a capital crime, right?
Shouldn't you ask what's going on first?!

Oh, why does the “butcher” have such a bad temper!
[Amidst the angry roars or screams, your life-saving skills such as "Iron Wall", "Jingwei Filling the Sea", "Eight Diagrams Calming the Netherworld", "Sad Farewell" and so on are used up one by one. You dance gracefully in the storm of swords and struggle desperately under the blockade of death energy, hoping to get a chance to reconcile with her.]

[Unfortunately, Hong Jun seems determined to kill you, her "brother-in-law", to sacrifice to her sister.]

[After the terrible collision, you are once again in a desperate situation and are about to be killed on the spot.]

[Quack! Is it a sin to be too good at acting? ]

【Just then, your "wear nine and walk one" turned around, and you looked overjoyed. 】

【? 】

[I don't know what you are so happy about. Didn't you still fail to escape in the last fight? Don't struggle anymore. Accept your fate. It would be an honor to die under the sword of such a strong man. Your life is like a journey...] [You used the phrase "wear nine and walk on one".]

[You did not choose to escape to the ground, but instead rushed to the mountain opposite the dark river. That was clearly a dead end, but you went straight into the White Tiger Cave.]

[Hong Jun's headlock attack followed closely, which should have been a super lethal attack that would have directly taken your head off, but this time it failed.]

[Lay upon layer of mysterious characters suddenly flashed, and the magic array light wall responded, turning from virtual to real! Boom! ]

[The seemingly thin wall of light was incomparably strong, and all the sword energy was repelled! ]

[Shocked! It's actually the advantage of the terrain! You have insight into the battlefield and used this extremely mysterious White Tiger Cave formation to block the enemy's attack! Is this something that a reckless "Dragon Elephant" can do? It's simply amazing wisdom! ]

[“Humph, you really have a conspiracy! I can see through you at a glance!” Hong Jun angrily flattened the entire mountain, and the rain of swords from the ground rushed everywhere, hitting the rocks through the air and the waves crashing against the shore, as if a super earthquake had occurred. ]

[However, no matter how hard she tried, the power within the White Tiger Formation protected you firmly inside. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break in.]

[Seeing this, Hong Jun gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, the people in the treacherous sect are indeed cunning and sly. I underestimated you! But today I want to see how long you can hide in there!"]

【“Idiot. Come in if you dare.” You cursed calmly. 】

[“…” Hong Jun glared at you fiercely, but out of his strong character, he didn’t engage in boring bickering with you. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot, holding his sword across his knees.]

[This posture seems to be ready to squat you to death here. ]

[Great, now your chance has come. With this respite, it’s time to let her know what it means to “be powerful and have a good background in order to get by.”]

[Come out! Dead bodies are everywhere, water dragons are roaring! Let this tiny fourth on the human list feel the true power of a peak demigod! ]

[You open the driver and are about to call someone, but suddenly something comes to your mind, so you close the driver and say, "Hey, let's stop fighting. There's actually no irreconcilable conflict between us."]

[Damn it, you copied Teacher Pan's famous quote again! But do you think it's appropriate? You've beaten the dog's brains out and you're asking if we can reconcile now? ]

[Sure enough, Hong Jun flatly refused: "Humph, you still say these words now, do you think I will let you go? You might as well come out and fight me honestly. I respect you for your courage and will leave you with an intact body."]

[You laughed, not feeling annoyed, but said calmly: "I knew you would say that. What if I said I have no way to save Hong Yan. What do you think?"]

[Your voice is like thunder, with strong penetrating power, passing through the magic circle and reaching the opponent's ears.]

[At this moment, Hong Jun was really shocked, staring at you in shock and suspicion: "What did you say?"]

[You are now covered in wounds. You do a few sit-ups to survive and say, "I have a way to revive your sister, but you have to cooperate with me."]

[Hong Jun sneered with an angry look on his face: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Even the great masters on the Heavenly Ranking have never heard of such a power to bring the dead back to life!"]

[Although she said this, her eyes were actually shining brightly. She was obviously attracted by your words and seemed to have some kind of expectation.]

[You pointed at the magic circle of the White Tiger Cave and said confidently: "I can't explain it to you clearly. In fact, this place is related to the Immortal Sect of the Four Suffering Sects, and it also hides the rare treasure 'Seven Treasures Lotus'! I naturally have a way to revive Hong Yan, but I need you to cooperate with me on some things."]

[You are really good at making up stories. However, let me correct you. It is Wusheng Xuanmen, you are an illiterate person with a memory of only seven seconds.]

[“…Four Bitterness Mysterious Gate? Seven Treasures Lotus?”]

[Hong Jun's face suddenly became uncertain after hearing this. After carefully observing the magic circle, he thought of something and seemed to be half-believing and half-doubting.]

[Seeing this, you feel that the time is ripe, and you shake your body, withdraw the "wear nine and step one" just now, and walk out of the White Tiger Cave openly, walk back to Hong Jun's sight, and walk back to her reach of attack! ]

[You spread your hands and said: "Look, you can kill me anytime now, and this is my sincerity."]

[“Hmm?” Hong Jun’s eyes fixed, and he immediately looked at you with murderous intent again.]

[But as you said, your behavior of walking out of a safe area and actively approaching a dangerous place has indeed greatly reduced her vigilance.]

[When you see that she is no longer talking, you immediately strike while the iron is hot and say, "Take me to the place where you found Hong Yan's body. I will naturally find a way to revive her once we get there. It has to be as soon as possible! Haha, I guess you don't want your sister to really die like this, right?"]

[After staring at you for three minutes, Hong Jun said: "Okay, I'll trust you this time, but if you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences. How do you need me to cooperate?"]

[“…” Hong Jun did not hesitate any longer, nodded slightly, and finally agreed, “Come with me!”]

[Alas, you are a man of tricks who plays with people's hearts. Hong Jun finally fell into your trap! You are really good at dealing with women. Tell me what you want to do! How many tricks do you have yet to use? ]

[After a while, under the leadership of Hong Jun, the two of you arrived at your destination.]

[This is an abandoned house in a small town near the Bai Clan Ancestral Hall. It has mud walls and tiles and is very old. At first glance, there is no trace of human activity at all.]

[You are surprised that you hid here. No wonder you couldn't find it before. ]

[The room was littered with corpses, the smell of blood was extremely strong, and all kinds of bone fragments were scattered all over the floor. It was horrible to look at, as if it was a freshly slaughtered place.]

[“This is it.” Hong Jun pointed to a separate cubicle stained with blood, and then stared at your every move, “What are you going to do?”]

[You memorized the location nearby, and after asking her for specific information, you had a complete understanding of the situation at the time. Then you laughed: "Idiot, do you really think I can save you? I was just kidding you. Hahaha, are you desperate?"]

[After that, you unexpectedly poked two fingers into Hong Jun's mouth, stirring it wildly, pulling out her thin pink tongue and a lot of saliva! A waterfall falling three thousand feet! ]

[Gah! Awesome! You are worthy of it! ]

[“Ah—Hmm! Damn it, damn it, damn it! You liar! How dare you?!” Hong Jun was suddenly attacked by you. It is a shame for a master to be the fourth on the human list to fall for your despicable trick! But the fourth on the human list is the fourth on the human list, and he escaped in time. ]

[She was extremely angry all of a sudden, and the sword energy and death energy gushed out again, wrapping you tightly inside, comparable to being executed by slow slicing.]

[“Stupid woman, fuck you! You hit me so hard before! Now feel the real pain!”]

[You cursed fiercely, knowing that you would die in this situation, so you took out your real sword——]

[Zhu Xian·Twenty-four (taboo)! ]

【Time stood still for a moment.】

[A sword tip emerges from the void and quietly comes into reality. Thunderous lightning bursts out from your palm, covering the sky and the sun.]

[The distant star tower responded with countless sword lights uprooted from the spot, like a reversed waterfall, rushing straight into the sky, rushing towards you.]

[Two lightning bolts closely connect and collide above your heads, like a world-destroying force, covering the universe and annihilating everything! ]

[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]
