Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"I hope you can keep your word! Otherwise, I will kill you no matter where you are, from the sky to the underworld!"

Yan Xiaoyi remained expressionless throughout.

A gap wide enough for two people to pass through appeared, and Yan Xiaoyi and Ku He set out again, heading for the final destination of the Xihu group.

After escaping from the pursuers, Yan Xiaoyi pulled the arrow out of Qu Han's body.

A thin strip of paper was tied to the tail of the arrow.

His eyesight was as sharp as an eagle's. The arrow was too slow, and he had already seen through it. That was why he did not block it. Instead, he used Qu Han as a shield.

He handed the note to Ku He, who slowly opened it and read it before saying:

"Now that he knows where the target is, he will..."

"Kill him!"

Chapter 385: Finally meeting Yelu Xuan.

When Tuoba Xiong led his army to the place, it was deserted. Only a series of disorderly horse hoof prints were left, spreading into the distance and gradually disappearing on the horizon.

What if there is anything else left?

Qu Han's body on the ground was still bleeding.

A generation of commander of the left army of Western Hu, a disciple of the grandmaster, died here quietly, even with the support of a large army. Even though his opponent was the grandmaster and a ninth-grade archer, it was dramatic enough.

He did it for fame!

He also has ambitions!

But he never understood the rules of Xihu.

What Xihu wants is not personal force, just one grandmaster is enough. What Xihu wants is a general who can command an army on horseback, a civil official who can govern the country on foot, or a heroic ruler with great ambitions.

In short, he is not a ninth-grade warrior who can kill a grandmaster.

Qu Han lost his life for the huge reputation that was visible but intangible, but Tuoba Xiong understood his junior brother and knew his past.

Perhaps, no matter how Qu Han changed, he never forgot the tribe from which he came.

"You said I didn't know how to survive in Xihu."

"In fact, you just don't really understand Xihu."

Tuoba Xiong looked at the soldiers behind him who were already furious. He did not intend to suppress them at this moment, as that would only make things worse.

With the entire left army completely under his control, he had plenty of time to do all this.

"The whole army marches quickly, rushes to attack and kills the powerful enemy!"

"Whoever can cut off the assassin's head will be rewarded with 100 gold coins, 10 cattle and sheep, and promoted three levels!"

The army has already taken action, splitting into two groups and chasing after the horseshoe prints in the familiar way, while the army's spies have also spread out in all directions, densely covering the entire Western Hu land.

The information provided by Tuoba Xiong is time-sensitive.

He and Qu Han led the army to intercept Yan Xiaoyi and the other person, and then the two of them took a long detour to avoid being hunted down. It would definitely take several days to reach the location on the note.

No one can guarantee that things will develop as expected.

According to common sense, the two assassins should have hurried on their journey to prevent any accidents.

Tuoba Xiong watched the cavalry chasing forward, but his head turned to one side - in the distance, there were several huge rocks lying casually on the ground, surrounded by wind and sand.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Tuoba Xiong picked up his riding clothes and walked forward.

Yan Xiaoyi, who was hiding behind a huge rock dozens of feet away, was also stunned when Tuoba Xiong turned his head.

He did not feel strange that Tuoba Xiong did not reveal the whereabouts of the two men. He was just surprised that their whereabouts were discovered.

He also marched for many years.

He is very experienced in handling and tracking some traces.

After letting the horse gallop away, he shot an arrow between himself and the boulder. Then he used his body skills to take advantage of the tail of the arrow with Ku He and hid behind the boulder without leaving any footprints.

Has even this been found to be flawed?

"We were not discovered by him, but our tracks were exposed by the creatures of this land." Ku He smiled slightly with a calm face, as if he could always remain calm and maintain keen observation.

Following the direction of Ku He's finger, Yan Xiaoyi saw several scorpions moving around in the sand.

Did these little creatures get alarmed?

Xihu is really different from the outside world.

"Now that we don't have horses, I'm afraid it will take longer to get to the place on the note."

The freed horses went in another direction. Perhaps this was the basis for Tuoba Xiong to judge that the two should stay where they were, but Yan Xiaoyi didn't want to care about it at this moment.

Now he was an assassin, just a pure archer, not a general of an army, "Do you want to change the route and find a horse first?"

"Let's go!"

Ku He's lips were a little cracked, and his condition was even worse.

The inconvenience for the two is a great convenience for the enemy.

He had to finish the job before his condition got worse!

Three days later.

Yelu Xuan's luck was not good. His two disciples led tens of thousands of troops to snipe and stop Ku He for nearly seven days. No news came back in the past few days, whether it was success or failure. Naturally, he only knew that Qu Han had died now.

Along with the news came Yan Xiaoyi and Ku He.

It was really amazing. When these tens of thousands of troops could not find any trace of the two assassins, they all subconsciously kept their lips shut. It was not known whether it was an order from their leader or they just couldn't get over it.

They were unwilling to admit the fact that just two people from the Central Plains could have left them behind.

"You are truly my good disciple!"

It was already very late when Yelu Xuan received the news, and he could not change anything. "I enjoyed the hatred from Qu Han, and I also expected him to come and seek revenge on me, but I didn't expect that he was just a coward. I accepted him as my apprentice, and I thought his potential was more than that. I didn't expect that Qu Han's cultivation has stagnated for so many years. There is no progress. I am really disappointed!"

Tuoba Xiong remained silent, listening to Yelu Xuan's evaluation of Qu Han, which was also his own evaluation, and fell into deep thought.

"As a fellow imperial teacher, I can understand that you are considering the future of Xihu. However, when it comes to teaching disciples, we are all not as good as the one from Dongyi City." Ku He's eyes were hidden under the hood, with only a pair of lips showing, opening and closing.

"I don't think I did anything wrong. This approach is best for the people of Xihu."

Yelu Xuan also had unspeakable past experiences. Faced with such a situation, he was just puzzled, "The situation between the countries is like this, why would Li An let you come to 'assassinate' me?"

The word assassination seems ridiculous in front of the Grand Master.

No matter whether it is the Grandmaster Battle in Mount Dadong or any other battle, the Grandmaster will not be ambushed.

People only make mistakes when they are relaxed, but when the master is on guard, he can only use strategies to set traps and wait for others to fall into the trap.

"You mean why Da Qi didn't try to win you over, but chose to kill you at this time?"

Ku He gave the answer, "Li An doesn't know what choice you will make, but there is one thing you should understand: as long as I appear here, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, you will never be able to lead your army to attack Da Qi again."

The Western Hu were more prosperous at this time than at any time before because power was too concentrated.

At the same time, he is more fragile than ever before, because his every move depends on Yelu Xuan alone.

Ku He could understand his consideration for Xihu, just as his presence here now was important to Da Qi. Li An understood both Yelu Xuan and his own thoughts clearly, and it turned out that the grand masters had the same thoughts.

"After my death, the Western Hu will naturally vanish into thin air and be annexed by the Northern Qi. There will be no question of sending troops then."

Yelu Xuan glanced at Tuoba Xiong who was hanging his head and not saying anything, then turned his head to Ku He and said, "If you die, Northern Qi will definitely take revenge on Western Hu for provoking Li An. Si Gu Jian is too narrow-minded, he will only guard his Dongyi City and beg for peace from others."

Chapter 386 Who Lost?

"As for Nan Qing at this moment, humph!"

Yelu Xuan's tone was full of disdain. He believed that Nanqing today was not even as threatening as Dongyi City.

If Li An were here and understood Yelu Xuan's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely tell him what the Nanqing Tiger Guards were.

That power is even greater than that of the Black Knight!

"I just don't understand why you made such a choice." Facing his own disciple, he lost his judgment for the first time. "For the sake of hatred, have you even disregarded your country?"

"You slaughtered my entire family. As a son of a human being, how could I, Tuoba Xiong, not take revenge on you for such a deep blood feud?"

Tuoba Xiong drew out his long sword and sneered, "Country? You mean the country you forcibly integrated with bloody means?"

"How can there be a country without a home?"

"You taught me martial arts, and I've done everything I could for you over the years, so we're even now. Now that I'm going to take your life, I don't think you should have any complaints!"

Yelu Xuan nodded in agreement, as if he agreed with his disciple's words.

"I will never utter a word of complaint. A truly strong person will never blame others!"

"The Western Hu used to be too corrupt. The internal tribes were divided and fighting each other. The royal family, who were known as the golden bloodline, were incompetent and only knew how to enjoy themselves! The common people in the world had no room for advancement. Even the martial arts were monopolized by the upper class. How could such a country have a future? How could it avoid being annexed by other countries?"

"I killed your parents, but do you find the martial arts I taught you convenient to use?" Yelu Xuan laughed.

As he said this, he pointed around the big tent, implying something, "Where do you get the confidence to take my life? Are you relying on this Ku He who is struggling to hold on for a breath?"

Whoosh!

An arrow shot towards him, as if Yan Xiaoyi was reminding the other party of his existence.

Yelu Xuan simply flicked his fingers, and the moment his true energy touched the arrow, a cold air spread throughout the tent, and the arrow fell to the ground with a bang.

The master of the Xihu Desert cultivated the cold-attributed true qi, while Ku He, who lived in the Qingshan Mountains in the far north, cultivated the gentle and natural Tianyi true qi. One cannot help but marvel at the magic and evil taste of the Creator.

"Sigh!"

"The world's most talented people are in Northern Qi and Southern Qing. How can God be so unkind to the Western Hu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the grandmaster had already acknowledged Yan Xiaoyi's archery ability!

"You just barged in here without knowing the inside of the camp. I don't know if you are confident or stupid."

Yelu Xuan waved his right hand, and an invisible force of energy shot out, hitting the brazier inside the tent, causing the charcoal fire to ignite the tent cloth.

The two masters moved at the same time!

The interweaving of true Qi and strength caused the flames in the tent to grow even more fiercely, exploding towards the surroundings and causing the temperature outside to rise rapidly.

"Eagle Claw Technique! Spread your wings in the wind!"

Yelu Xuan's claw force, combined with his true energy to solidify the water vapor, was like growing a pair of iron wings that flapped left and right, exploding forward!

Ku He also had no weapon, but he was fearless. He used the most basic boxing techniques with his fists to collide with the enemy, and directly broke into the space between the two wings. His fists stabbed like swords, and the collision made a loud noise that shook the desert sky!

Sharp force spread out and true energy splashed.

Yan Xiaoyi and Tuoba Xiong on both sides dodged in a hurry, and the things around them were swept away, leaving "no complete body" or "no bones left"!

A lot of yellow sand was rolled up and pierced at the same time.

"Tuoba Xiong! Go and stop the soldiers first to prevent them from mutiny and storming the camp!" Yan Xiaoyi hated the terrain here. Although it was open and flat and suitable for him to shoot arrows, there was no commanding height.

He tiptoed away and aimed at the palace!

Seeing that the Grandmaster was fighting fiercely, Tuoba Xiong thought about it and decided to go out and suppress the army first to create conditions for the two of them.

"He is indeed a grandmaster who relied on his own talent and perseverance to get promoted. This battle will not be easy!" Ku He's face was pale and moist.

The two men pressed each other close, fighting fast, their fists and claws clashing at lightning speed, colliding dozens of times in an instant, and they were evenly matched, neither able to find the flaws in the other's moves!

"Did I underestimate the heroes of the world? This Ku He has accumulated a lot of energy over the years, and his inner strength is like the sea. His foundation is deeper than mine. Even though he is seriously injured and dying, I can't suppress him?"

'This true energy. It seems to be God's will!'

When the two looked at each other, their eyes flashed with brilliance and all the muscles in their bodies were tense!

Yelu Xuan urged his strength again, and his hand tightened. The long sword had already shot out and was held in his hand. The imitation claw method he used just now was actually a sword method. He simplified it and chopped it down directly. Its power was condensed and extremely fast, and it contained the power to split the mountain!

This is another move - crossing the sky!

This is a new trick, but also an old grudge.

Ku He did not dare to delay and took a step back to avoid the attack. The iron stick on his back had already rotated around his waist and stabbed upwards. This move was surprisingly like the light cavalry's spear technique in the army!

Yes.

Ku He's original name was Zhan Mingyue. He also fought on the battlefield with the Northern Qi emperor Zhan Qingfeng!
