Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 223 A big fish

The man lying on the boat awning did not take off his bamboo hat, nor did he report his sect. He said disdainfully: "How can you prove that they are assassins? I see that you are holding a sword and look aggressive, so you look like an assassin!"

If Daoxuan had not been afraid of the sword light that this person had just used, he would have rushed to the boat and killed this arrogant man. He suppressed his anger and smiled slightly, saying, "If you don't believe me, I will let you capture these people first and bring them to the shore. Then you will understand."

The man still lay there and said, "Since you can't prove it now, leave quickly. We still need to catch fish, so we don't have the time to accompany you!"

Daoxuan said: "Daoyou like to eat fish, I will compensate you."

The man said, "You can't afford the compensation. We caught a big fish."

"No matter how big the fish is, I can afford it!"

"Can you afford to pay for the immortal fish?"

Daoxuan saw that this man was unreasonable and could no longer endure it. He said in a deep voice: "Do you know who I am and who they are trying to kill?"

"It looks like it will scare people to death. Please don't scare us. We are very timid."

Daoxuan sneered and said, "I am Daoxuan from the Xiandao Academy. These people just wanted to assassinate the current emperor. You tried to stop them. Do you want to die with them?"

The man lying there suddenly sat up with fright, his face still covered by his bamboo hat, and exclaimed, "So you are the famous Daoxuan, so scary!" He suddenly laughed and said, "It's a pity that I'm just a 'rough man' in the mountains and have never heard of your name. Son of Heaven, Son of Earth, and Melon Seed have nothing to do with me." After saying that, he lay down again.

After hearing this, Daoxuan was so angry that his face turned blue. This was clearly a joke on him. He ignored Zhang Liang and the others and shouted angrily: "I will get rid of you, you arrogant man, right now!" He flew up from the water and stabbed the lying person with his sword.

"Hehe, is fame so important? Just because you haven't heard of it, you kill people. Is there any justice in the world?" Without taking the sword stabbed by Daoxuan, he jumped away and landed at the stern of the boat, with the hat still on his face. He was still lying down with his legs crossed.

Daoxuan had indeed been standing on the water for a long time, and it was much more comfortable for him to land on the boat awning. Seeing that the other party was dodging, he was not in a hurry to attack, and laughed: "Why are you covering your face? Don't you have the face to see people?"

"It's not that I'm too embarrassed to see you. I'm just afraid that you'll die if you see my face."

"How shameless! I will try today to see if you will die after I cut off your face!"

"In fact, you will die if you don't see my 'dignified face'. Anyway, once you get on this ship, don't even think about leaving alive!"

At this time, the boat had already left Zhang Liang's speedboat and was heading for the other side. Zhang Liang knew that the two did not reveal their names and faces, so there must be a reason. He knelt on the board and thanked them, "Thank you for your help. I will always remember it. If I am alive one day, as long as you mention this matter, I will repay you!"

Daoxuan glanced at Zhang Liang and snorted, "You can't escape. Once I deal with them, I will deal with you!"

The man lying on the ground smiled at Zhang Liang and said, "You don't need to thank me, just leave without worry. This famous Daoxuan will never catch up with you. He must die here. There is one more thing you misunderstood. There is one benefactor, not two. The man on the bow did nothing."

Daoxuan listened to the tone of the two people and was sure that they were not in the same group. He glared at the man lying on the ground and said, "Okay, today I'll see what you can do!" Just as he was about to swing his sword at the man lying on the ground, he suddenly heard a roar, "All the big fish have been scared away by you!" The voice was indescribably unpleasant, neither loud nor sharp, but the internal strength was incredibly strong, making people's blood boil. The water surface was shaking violently, and the water ripples were as dense as spider webs. In a moment, the surface of the river was covered with silver white. They were all fish that were killed and floated up. He really was catching fish with his mouth.

The fisherman stood up, with his hat pulled down low. Daoxuan couldn't see his face clearly even from his height.

Daoxuan suddenly felt that the ship was filled with murderous aura. The strongest murderous aura did not come from the two people in front and behind him, but from the awning under his feet. He was scared. There was a cold breeze on the soles of his feet and cold sweat on his back. He wanted to escape, but found that he had no chance because he smelled a faint fragrance wafting from the awning and his legs went weak.

Daoxuan had seen that the people on the boat were not here to rescue the assassins, but to catch him, the big fish. His face turned pale again, and he said in a deep voice: "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"

The person lying down also stood up and said with a chuckle: "There are many reasons, but the main reason is that you took the initiative to come here to die." At this time, Zhang Liang's ship had already sailed away.

Daoxuan said: "Who are you?"

The man who was lying there before said, "Since you are so curious, I will let you see the Taoist's 'dignified face'." He took off his bamboo hat, revealing a smiling green face.

Daoxuan's face turned even paler than that man's, and he said in a lost voice: "It's you. I didn't expect that after so many years, your cultivation has improved so much!"

The green-faced man said, "Not much, only three and a half years. This is how we can show how fast we have made progress." The man at the bow also took off his hat, revealing a red face.

Daoxuan asked again, "Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because I'm still alive." A calm and clear voice came from inside the boat awning.

Daoxuan had never heard this voice before, but he seemed to guess who this person was, and asked in astonishment: "How could you still be alive?"

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know who killed you." Daoxuan asked again, "Why did you want to kill me? We don't seem to have any deep hatred, and..."

"That's what you think. Do you only kill people out of deep hatred? In fact, you didn't kill people for this reason before. You could have lived longer and didn't have to come and die. It's a pity that you came."

Daoxuan said: "Don't you want to be loyal to His Majesty?"

"This has nothing to do with killing you, and you don't need to know."

Daoxuan gnashed his teeth and said, "What's your skill in poisoning people? If you have the guts, fight them squarely. I will be convinced even if I die!"

"First of all, there is no upright way to kill people. I only care about the result. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. Secondly, this is not some poisonous gas, but a 'Spirit-Concentrating Incense', which has the effect of refreshing the mind and concentrating the energy. The reason why your legs and feet are weak is because you are afraid. You are afraid that this fragrance is poisonous gas, so you are resisting it with luck, which consumes a lot of true energy. Thirdly, I will not do anything that I am not sure of. Since they want to kill you, you can't escape."

Daoxuan shouted, "You guys think you can kill me!" His legs were strong as expected. He leaped forward, swung his sword and stabbed out a beam of white light, heading straight for the green-faced man, as fast as thunderbolt.

The green-faced man was so scared that he fell on his back. Daoxuan didn't expect that the green-faced man was bold but timid. Originally, the sword was just a feint. This was his chance to escape. He turned his body, flew out diagonally, and skimmed towards the water.

"Where are you running to!" The green-faced man jumped up and blocked Daoxuan's way. With one hand, he transformed into a ten-foot-long fire sword, drew a half-moon sword light and slashed towards Daoxuan.

Daoxuan didn't expect that the green-faced man could see through his intention. He thought that he was pretending to be frightened in order to lead him to escape. Seeing that the power of the fire sword was not much weaker than Jiang Yuan's fire sword, he did not dare to take it lightly and hurriedly swung his sword to block it.

With a "clang" sound, the green-faced man flew into the water, and Daoxuan was shocked and fell back on the boat. He was shocked. He did not expect the green-faced man to be so powerful. He was about to jump into the water again when he heard a "whoosh..." sound of something breaking through the air behind him.

The red-faced man swung a ten-foot-long electric blade and slashed at him. If it were in the past, Daoxuan would have been able to dodge it, but when he was facing the green-faced man, the door behind him was wide open, and it was too late for him to dodge. He hastily swung his sword to block it, but with a crisp "clang...", the sword was broken by the electric blade, which hit his shoulder and cut into his heart.

Daoxuan never thought that he would die today, and die so miserably, with blood gushing out, and he fell straight down, dying.

The green-faced man leaped ashore and landed on the boat. He covered his shoulder and bared his teeth at the red-faced man and shouted, "You always take advantage of others and cause me to get hurt."

The red-faced man said, "Maybe because you talk more than me, or because he saw that your cultivation is weaker than mine, he chose you to break through."

"Whose cultivation is weaker than yours? Your arm is broken. Don't think I can't see it!"

"This guy is indeed a Loose Immortal. He is really strong. He broke my arm with just a casual block. Fortunately, I have this 'Thunderous Reverse Blade' that can cut through iron like mud."

The green-faced man said, "If we can kill him, doesn't that prove that we are stronger than him?"

At this time, a man walked out of the boat awning. He was eight feet tall, well-proportioned, and dressed in white as white as snow. His face was handsome and his eyes were calm as water. He glanced at the body lying in a pool of blood and said calmly: "Your strength is not as good as his now. If he was not timid and wanted to escape, you would not be able to kill him. When strong people meet, life and death are only a matter of thought. Those who want to escape often cannot escape. Only by putting them to death can they survive. This is the meaning of sword."

The green-faced man said, "I understand now. Master ordered us to do this to make him timid and want to escape. This way he will no longer want to fight us, and we will have a chance to kill him."

The man in white said, "You have become smarter!"

The green-faced man said with a smile: "I learned this from my master. As long as you follow my master, even stones can become spirits."

The man in white said, "You have learned to be smooth-talking. Hurry up and chop up the body, throw it into the river to feed the fish, and wash the deck clean."

The red-faced man said, "The fish in the water have a good chance today. After eating the flesh of the immortal, perhaps they can become spirits." After saying that, he and the green-faced man did as the white-clothed man instructed.

The man in white looked toward the river in the distance, as if he was looking for something, but all he got was melancholy.

The red-faced man asked, "Should we catch up with that boat and escort them to a safe place?"

The man in white said, "No need, they will naturally find a safe place. Besides, I don't want to see them."

The red-faced man asked again, "Master, don't you want to reminisce with him?"

"No, it will be very troublesome to meet him. Although we have the same goal, our paths are different. I have a longer way to go than him. There are many things he won't understand, and I'm too lazy to explain to him. However, I believe that after this failure, he will learn a lesson."

The green-faced man asked, "Master, when will we return to Xianyang?"

The man in white sighed and said, "If we can't find her in Langya, let's go back."
