The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"This man has done no great evil, and he has not killed any innocent people, which is why you should spare his life."

"Since I have punished him, why not forgive him? I will take him as my apprentice..."

Without waiting for Su Xun to finish his words, Shi Gu waved his hands and replied.

"Needless to say, I have already done him the greatest favor by sparing his life."

After hearing this, Su Xun really stopped mentioning Shen Zhui. He knew Shi Gu's temper. When things were difficult to talk to, he would rather drink poisoned wine than give in.

"Whatever you say, I just said it casually."

As they spoke, Shi Gu and Su Xun stopped at the same time and looked forward.

Dusk has fallen, the setting sun is half gone, and ahead is the charity cemetery of Huiyin City.

Chapter 91: Dusk (Part 2)

Huiyin City, Yizhuang.

The people from the Xuanming Division arrived earlier and surrounded the ruins of the charity cemetery. Nanmian and the other two also arrived here, holding a cloud of mist and looking at Shigu and Su Xun who arrived late.

During this day, Su Xun tried to maintain the demeanor of a master at all times. He always put his hands behind his back, held his chest high and raised his head, facing everyone's gaze. He asked with a twitch of his lips.

"Is Zou Si from the East Sea Sword Sect still alive?"

Shi Gu replied calmly.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

Su Xun shook his head and didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked straight at Nanmian. Nanmian didn't waste any words either. He raised his hand and the cloud of mist began to float up. In the miniature Huiyin City, the black spot under the charity cemetery was clearly marked.

After finding the exact location, Su Xun narrowed his eyes and looked down. He didn't make any movement, but the ground began to shake. An invisible and colorless hand drilled into the soil and grabbed the black spot.

Deep in the earth, a small shell that had not yet been repaired was grabbed by the invisible force, lifted up suddenly, and quickly pulled to the ground.

With a rumbling sound like an earthquake, the soil cracked and a white shell jumped out of the ground, suspended in the air.

Shi Gu and Su Xun took a step forward in tacit understanding. Their figures flashed and turned into two spots of light, which drilled into the shell.

……

In the black palace, Kang Xi slowly opened his eyes, neither happy nor sad. He stood up and looked towards the entrance of the palace. Seeing this, the bound Zou Si also looked towards the entrance and asked.

"Senior Kang Xi, is my time up?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Xi slowly drew his sword and said.

"You're lucky, at least better than me."

Step, step, step.

The sound of footsteps slowly rang out in the black palace, ghost lights flickered, and two figures appeared in Kang Xi's pupils.

But in the end, the two figures stopped five steps away from Kang Xi. The reason was very simple, because Kang Xi untied Zou Si and grabbed her in his hands.

Su Xun looked at Zou Si who was held in Kang Xi's hand, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Zou Si, are you willing to sacrifice for justice?"

Zou Si's little face was full of innocence. He blinked his big eyes and answered softly.

“Although I may look stupid, I am not stupid.”

Shi Gu was more direct. He looked at Kang Xi, who had a calm expression, and asked softly.

"Tell me your terms."

However, as soon as Shi Gu finished speaking, Kang Xi pushed Zou Si away with his palm and pushed Zou Si directly into Shi Gu's arms.

Shi Gu reached out and pulled Zou Si into his arms, then gently pushed him away. When he looked at Kang Xi again, his eyes were full of confusion.

Kang Xi held the knife in one hand, still with that calm expression, but seemed a little more tired, and spoke softly.

"The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. The outcome has been determined. There is no need to kill one more person."

Shi Gu's eyes flickered and he was about to speak, but Zou Si, who had just been untied, frowned and asked Kang Xi.

"Senior Kang Xi, you are not evil by nature. Are you really not going to turn back?"

Kang Xi glanced at Zou Si and said lightly.

"It's ridiculous. If I turn back, how will I deal with those who died in my hands?"

When Zou Si wanted to say something else, Shi Gu waved his sleeves, bringing up a gust of breeze, and pulled Zou Si out of the black palace.

For a moment, only Shi Gu, Su Xun and the zombie Kang Xi were left in the black palace.

Su Xun had a complicated expression and sighed softly.

"Coccyx knife, Kang Xi..."

"I used to admire you."

Kang Xi held the blade horizontally, without any emotional fluctuations, and spoke calmly.

"So-called admiration is nothing more than the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water. No matter how many rumors you hear, it is not as good as meeting someone in person."

"If we have never met, what is the point of talking about love and hate?"

Shi Gu drew his sword, and the long sword rubbed against the scabbard, making a crisp sword hum. He looked on indifferently and said lightly.

"Well said, you can rest in peace now."

Su Xun also narrowed his eyes slightly, flipped his palm, and a short knife appeared in his hand. The blade was extremely thin and looked like a butcher knife.

The next moment, the three of them moved at the same time. Kang Xi slashed with his sword, and the ninth-grade peak true energy surged.

I saw the sea water surging, and a bright moon rose in this dark palace.

The knife creates sea water, and the mind rises into the bright moon.

The moonlight was like thousands of sharp sword intentions. As time passed, the black palace quickly decayed under the moonlight, and the stone pillars of all sizes turned into mud in the sea water and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Kang Xi raised the knife and hummed softly.

"Xiaozhou has passed away, and the rest of his life will be sent to the river."

clang! ! !

A blood-red color suddenly appeared, and a blood-red knife light instantly collided with Kang Xi, but Shi Gu chopped down with his knife, and the bone knife in the hands of Shasheng and Kang Xi fell together, the two blades rubbed against each other, sparks splashed, and it was actually brighter than the moonlight.

The two long swords pressed forward at the same time, neither giving in. The blades collided, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the bone swords. Kang Xi looked at Shi Gu across the blades and spoke softly.

"Good knife."

Shi Gu smiled when he heard this, glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and said softly.

“Good mood.”

The next moment, the two men suddenly separated. Shi Gu fell on the sea, his feet stepping on the waves. The moonlight poured down like a rain of thousands of knives, but Shi Gu's body was like a ghost, trying to avoid the ubiquitous moonlight.

Kang Xi raised his knife and was about to take action when a figure suddenly appeared behind him. It was Su Xun. He turned around abruptly and swung his knife, which was like a bright moon.

Su Xun strode forward with his head held high, without even looking, and threw out a punch. His long fist was as strong as a dragon, which shattered the knife light and brought it down with unparalleled power.

With a loud bang, Kang Xi flew backwards and hit the sea like a meteorite, creating huge waves on the sea. The palace collapsed and there were no stone pillars left, but there was still a vast ocean.

Su Xun stood in the air, looking at the surging sea water below, squinting his eyes slightly. If the battlefield here was Huiyin City, I am afraid that the entire Huiyin City would be submerged by the sea water.

Ordinary people will die in the sea water, while warriors will die in the thousands of sword intentions in the moonlight.

This coccyx knife is a genuine ninth-grade peak one. There are no shortcuts taken, and it doesn't even rely on the Great Demon's rejuvenation technique.

Above the sea, Kang Xi stood up slowly. He glanced at the bone knife in his hand, only to see that it was broken into pieces, leaving only the handle. He sighed, threw away the handle, took a step, and transformed himself into a bigger moon, rising slowly.

The bright moon rises over the sea.

The moonlight shone like a raging fire, burning the sea surface. The temperature was horrible, and astonishing heat rose from the sea surface.

Crack! As if unable to bear this force any longer, cracks appeared in the space here.

Su Xun and Shi Gu looked at each other and made a decision. They must not allow the sea water here to flow back into Huiyin City, otherwise it would be a disaster and most of the low-level ordinary people would be killed or injured.

Su Xun took a big step, left Kang Xi behind, came to the surface of the sea, pulled out the dagger, and chopped it down.

The knife shone brightly, and countless sea water seemed to be wiped out by this knife.

Shi Gu took a step forward, and his body turned into a bloody sword light, rushing straight into the huge bright moon.

Chapter 92: Poor man who doesn’t know he is in a dream

Shi Gu broke into the bright moon, but it was an extremely wide space with a pure white pavilion standing among the laurels.

It looks like the Moon Palace, which is unpleasant.

Shi Gu frowned slightly. He had been to Tianwai Tian and strolled on the moon. There was no Moon Palace there, just a huge sphere with potholes.

And those big holes are just traces left by someone practicing boxing.

The Moon Palace, a story that is widely circulated among the secular world, is nothing more than a deliberate fabrication by a group of lunatics.

Therefore, Shi Gu was unhappy and hated the Moon Palace here.

Between the laurels, Kang Xi's face turned pale and blood began to flow from his body. It was obviously not an easy task to maintain this Moon Palace.

"Kang Xi, I have met the Immortal."

Kang Xi clasped his fists and saluted, standing under a laurel tree, his eyes clear, yet revealing a bit of stubbornness.

Immortal, a respectful title for those in the innate realm, makes people feel sick and annoyed at the same time.

Shi Gu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but he slowly put away his knife, looked at Kang Xi from a distance, and said lightly.

"You recognize me?"

Kang Xi shook his head slightly and said frankly.

"I don't really recognize you, but the Grand Lord has noticed you since you entered the city. After fighting with you a few times, the Grand Lord suspected that you were a Xiantian."

"An innate who has fallen in realm."

Sure enough, none of those big demons were easy to deal with, and they could easily guess Shi Gu's background.

"Although your realm has fallen, you must have many ways to kill me. However, in order to prevent the people of Huiyin City from suffering disasters, I will be extremely cautious."

"I, Kang Xi, have a few questions. If you are willing to answer them, I will die."

"And there won't be any disaster in Huiyin City."

Shi Gu's mind moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he put away his murderous intent and spoke softly.

"Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know."

Hearing this, Kang Xi's expression eased a little, but his slightly dim pupils moved.

"Beyond the West Sea, there is a continent covered with ice and snow..."

Before Kang Xi could finish his words, Shi Gu had already given his answer.

"The Great Demon is in the West. A great demon from a very long time ago, she voluntarily fell into a deep sleep and turned into a continent, located in the far west."

Kang Xi was stunned when he heard this. This answer was slightly different from what Zou Si said. It was more detailed and more infuriating.

Recalling the tragedy that happened more than a hundred years ago, Kang Xi clenched his fists slightly, his long nails pressing against the flesh in his palms, almost drilling into them. He looked at Shi Gu coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Since you know that the demon is in the west, you should also know that there is a group of people living on that ice and snow continent. They eat raw meat and drink blood..."

Before Kang Xi could finish speaking, Shi Gu gave another answer.

"They're not human."

Kang Xi's face suddenly turned gloomy, a long-lost anger penetrated into his heart and began to burn fiercely. He took a step forward and said in a cold voice.

"How can they not be human? They can feel happy and angry, live and die. Just because they are a little far away, do they cease to be human?!"

He thought of Xiaoman, the silly girl, and her body that sank into the sea.

When Shi Gu heard this, his expression was complicated. He sighed softly, looked at Kang Xi with great pity, and spoke slowly.

“They’re not really human.”

Kang Xi laughed out of anger and said hatefully.

"ridiculous!"
