You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 374 is just a product of ancient people’s fictional imagination?

Chu He's powerful palm strike just now
It seemed to surge out with overwhelming force.

The palm wind whizzed past, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

This palm hit Qu Yuxiu accurately.

In an instant, Qu Yuxiu's body flew backwards like a kite with its string cut.

It fell heavily on the car.

The strong impact caused the roof to dent and twist instantly.

The metal frame made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

It seemed as if it could not bear the weight and was about to fall apart.

Qu Yuxiu's body was deeply trapped in it, and blood gushed out of his body like an uncontrolled fountain.

Flowing along the windshield and doorframes,
The bright red bloodstains flashed a strange and dazzling light in the sunlight.

Drop by drop, it fell and gathered into a small pool of blood on the ground. The bloody smell filled the air, making people feel sick.

Chu He's palm seemed ruthless and decisive, but in fact it left room for maneuver.

He skillfully controlled the force, and although Qu Yuxiu was seriously injured and on the verge of death,

The candlelight of life flickered in the strong wind, but it was never completely extinguished.

As long as they can be sent to a regular hospital for emergency treatment in time, with the help of modern medical methods,
The injury can be stabilized.

Chu He's move was not because he was afraid of the unfathomable background behind Qu Yuxiu.

In fact, it was out of consideration for Xia Chengli.

Xia Chengli's eccentric personality,

He is simply a person who likes to watch the fun, gloat over other people's misfortunes, and acts in an unconventional and lawless manner.

It is obvious that Qu Yuxiu and Xia Chengli have a deep connection and know each other well.

If Chu He really got impulsive and killed Qu Yuxiu with one blow,
Xia Chengli will definitely be caught in a dilemma in the circle he belongs to in the future.
I have suffered so much criticism and blame that it is difficult to hold my head up in front of others.

Xia Chengli stood on the edge of the tall building, his eyes fixed on the chaotic scene downstairs.

I saw many passers-by pouring in from all directions like a tide.
The doomed car was quickly surrounded by a crowd of people.

Some of them looked terrified, while others were whispering and talking to each other with curiosity.

Qu Yuxiu lay face up on the roof of the car, which had been completely destroyed.
The whole person was almost swallowed by the twisted metal frame.

His consciousness struggled in the abyss of pain and fear.

The remaining bit of clarity made his vision vaguely locked on Xia Chengli who was peeking out from the upstairs.

now,

There was only deep fear lurking in the depths of Qu Yuxiu's eyes like a demon.

Recalling the critical moment just now,

He had clearly sensed the danger coming towards him.

He instinctively wanted to draw the sword at his waist to resist.

His fingers were already trembling slightly as he touched the hilt of the sword.
But Chu He's attack was like a bolt of lightning that split the sky, so fast and fierce beyond imagination that it submerged him in an instant.

That powerful force is like an invisible mountain.

The pressure was so severe that he didn't even have time to draw his sword before his body was severely injured.

Qu Yuxiu was filled with resentment and doubt.
Obviously, I have already made all the preparations.

From the beginning, he was wary of Chu He as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Why was the gap in strength between the two sides so huge, as if there was a huge gap between heaven and earth, leaving him completely unable to fight back.

Xia Chengli noticed that some passers-by were looking up curiously from below.
It seemed as if he was trying to explore the mystery of why this young man fell from the building like a meteor.

Their eyes were full of suspicion and inquiry.

Perhaps he was secretly wondering if there was an elaborate murder plot hidden in this.

Or maybe there are serious loopholes in the building's security measures.

This caused the young man to accidentally fall and lead to this tragedy.

Xia Chengli didn't want to be the center of attention.
So she stuck out her tongue playfully and quickly retracted her head.

After a while,

The sharp and urgent sirens of the ambulance suddenly sounded on this street like a death warrant.
The flashing red and blue lights cast mottled shadows on the buildings on both sides of the street.
Create a tense and panic atmosphere.

At this time, Chu He and Xia Chengli had already left this place quietly like ghosts.
Their figures quietly disappeared in the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
Only the mess and mystery are left, waiting for others to solve.

……

Chu He and Xia Chengli's figures seemed to have passed through the barrier of space.
Instantly appeared on another busy and bustling street.

The two walked slowly side by side.

Chu He's steps were steady and firm, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Xia Chengli was skipping along.

From time to time, I look at everything around me with curiosity, and I am full of endless desire to explore this world.

"Just now, that guy named Qu Yuxiu asked you what you were carrying?"

Chu He finally broke the silence.

Xia Chengli slightly raised his delicate chin.
There was a gleam of satisfaction and pride in his eyes.

He began to talk non-stop: "When I was young,
I began to stand out in the old man's eyes and became his favorite who he had high hopes for.

I have to say that I was born with amazing talents.
Like a shining star, standing out from the crowd.

No matter what kind of skills or knowledge, as long as I am willing to study and learn,

You will be able to quickly grasp the essence of it, master it to perfection, and learn quickly and well.

Compared with me, there is a huge gap between those fellow brothers and I. None of them can even compare to me.

Later, the old man often said to me,
The future of Blue Star may depend on my growth and rise.
Only then can we find the direction to move forward in this ever-changing world.

I like the old man's talk.

Because it means I am the protagonist of this world.

The future destiny of this world is to move towards a bright and beautiful future.

Or fall into the dark and boundless abyss of hell, it all depends on my thoughts."

At this point, Xia Chengli's face was filled with a bright smile.

That joyful look seemed as if she had seen herself standing at the top of the world.

The glorious scene that dominates everything fills my heart with longing and expectation for the future.

There was a gleam of doubt and inquiry in Chu He's eyes.

He frowned slightly, stared at Xia Chengli and asked, "What kind of mysterious existence is hidden behind you?
I have taught you so many martial arts secrets without reservation. You can't keep it a secret from me forever, right?

You should know that I have given you a martial arts secret technique at random.
I'm afraid it's hard to find him even within the sphere of influence behind you.

Such a precious inheritance, can't it be exchanged for your honesty? "

Xia Chengli bit his lower lip lightly, as if hesitating about where to start.

After a moment, she raised her head, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and said slowly: "You are absolutely right.

I mentioned the ancient martial arts heritage to you before.

Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to find any trace of the existence of gods in the land of the Great Xia Empire?

I still remember clearly the past years,

The Great Xia Empire had been ridiculed by other empires.

They slandered wantonly,

It is said that the Great Xia Empire is a barren land where the flowers of evil bloom without the protection of gods.

However, the truth of the matter was deeply buried.
All the clues related to gods in the Great Xia Empire,
It has long been secretly divided up by several powerful forces that control the ancient martial arts heritage, and has disappeared from the public eye."

"What exactly is the ancient martial arts you mentioned? What secrets are hidden in it?"

Chu He's curiosity was completely aroused, his eyes were full of eagerness and desire.
It was like a traveler who had been groping in the dark for a long time, finally saw a ray of light, and was eager to find out the truth.

Xia Chengli did not directly respond to Chu He's question.

But blinking those big, lively eyes,

I slyly asked a question: "What do you think of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
As well as those ancient and widely circulated stories about gods and culture,
Is it a real existence or just a product of ancient people's imagination? "

Upon hearing this, Chu He fell into deep thought.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a trace of confusion and bewilderment.

After a long time,

Then he spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his voice: "This question really makes it difficult for me to decide.
I often wander between truth and falsehood.

Sometimes, I seem to be able to feel the weight and reality of history from those ancient legends.

It was as if I had witnessed those mythical stories happening with my own eyes.

But sometimes, reason tells me that this may just be the crystallization of the ancients' rich imagination.

Whether there are gods in this world has always been a question that lingers in my mind.

If gods do not exist, then how did evil spirits suddenly come into being in this world?
Why do humans suddenly appear without any warning?

Suddenly, he had the ability to practice martial arts.

One can even reach an astonishing level of martial arts attainment that is comparable to that of gods.

But if there really are gods in this world,

According to the legends of gods passed down from generation to generation,

God is supposed to be the protector of mankind, but when evil spirits wreak havoc,

When the world is full of devastation and bloodshed,
However, the gods seemed to have disappeared into the endless void and never appeared to save the people.

On the contrary, those so-called gods are nothing but evil spirits wearing gorgeous clothes, using the gods' prestige to bully others and do whatever they want."

Xia Chengli nodded gently.
His eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence of the past, and he continued: "The old man once told me,

Gods do exist in this world.

But in the long river of time, the gods have quietly left this world.

In ancient times, there was a period of history when mankind was glorious and dominated the world.
In that distant time,
Human beings are the invincible existence standing at the top of the food chain, controlling the fate of all things in the world.

But later, I don't know what kind of earth-shattering change happened.
The inheritance of human power is gradually drying up like a stream.
It has become weak and scarce, with only a handful of lucky people still retaining some of the precious heritage.

When the evil spirits once again shroud the world like a haze,

Those who inherited the martial arts tradition embarked on the difficult journey of searching for the mysterious traces of ancient martial arts.

The inherited power these people possess is so powerful that it is beyond imagination and enough to shock people.

Normally, the old man also has intricate and complex connections with other ancient martial arts inheritance forces.

They seemed to be secretly planning some earth-shattering plan.
But it has always been secretive and mysterious.
As if it was afraid of some unknown powerful existence.

I have asked the old man about these things countless times, but he always kept his mouth shut and refused to say a word.

When I was traveling, the old man repeatedly and strictly warned me not to tell any outsiders about these things. "

As he spoke, Xia Chengli naturally stretched out his hand and held Chu He's arm affectionately.

Chu He was slightly startled.
A ripple of doubt and emotion appeared in his heart, and he asked softly: "Then why did you tell me? This is a secret you promised the old man to keep."

"Because I think you are trustworthy."

Xia Chengli answered very seriously, her eyes were clear and firm.
She looked straight into Chu He's eyes, as if she wanted to convey her sincerity to him without reservation, "And you are the only person in this world who can gain my approval."

"One last question."

Chu He didn't know why, but after hearing Xia Chengli's answer, he felt a little touched in his heart.

The feeling flowed slowly in his heart like a trickle of water.

He quickly suppressed this emotion.
Attention quickly shifted to other key areas.

“Any other questions?
What you just said is all you know, right?
If you want to ask more, I'm afraid you can only go and talk to the old man in person.

However, I am not sure whether the old man will tell you everything without reservation. "

Xia Chengli shook his head slightly and said helplessly.

“That’s not what I want to ask.

Since those people control the powerful power of the ancient martial arts heritage,
Why then did they not show up when evil spirits invaded the entire world?"

Chu He frowned, looking puzzled and puzzled as he asked, "If they had stepped forward at that time, perhaps they could have reduced many human casualties and saved countless lives from the water and fire."

In Chuhe's eyes,

Gods who only exist in ancient legends and stories,

There seems to be no essential difference between them and these so-called inheritors of ancient martial arts.

No matter how powerful they are, no matter how mysterious their methods are,

But in Chu He's opinion, they were still so high and mighty, cold and heartless.
Faced with human disasters and life and death decisions, he chose not to help.

They are only concerned with their own interests and goals.
Although from a personal perspective, this behavior may be understandable.
But Chu He had personally witnessed the tragic scenes of the evil spirits invading and causing great suffering to all living beings.

Deep down in his heart, he really couldn't agree with such selfish behavior.

The most important thing is that these people actually monopolized the inheritance of ancient martial arts.

In the early days of the evil spirit invasion, humans fought desperately.

Those who can become martial arts practitioners in desperate situations,
All of them rely on tenacious will, excellent luck and their own outstanding talents.

Through the cruel test of life and death, he transformed himself and stood out.

Only the first batch of warriors who had experienced life and death ordeals,
Only then did I truly understand how tragic the war was and how difficult it was to survive.

"I have also asked the old man about the matter you asked."

Xia Chengli sighed softly and said slowly: "His answer is that those ancient martial arts inheritors have more important missions to complete.

In their eyes, even though most of humanity was miserable and died,
It is not as important as what they are planning.”

Chu He heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled coldly.
That smile was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if he was sneering at this so-called "important thing".

……

Night came,

Inside a hospital in Jinshan City, the lights are on, yet there is a depressing silence.

Qu Yuxiu lay quietly on the bed in the intensive care unit.
His face was as pale as paper, bloodless.
Only the slightly rising and falling chest proved that he still had a glimmer of life.

At this time, Qu Yuxiu had slowly opened his eyes.
There was still fear and panic in his eyes from the nightmare that happened during the day.

Regarding what happened during the day, his mood was still like turbulent waves and it took a long time for him to calm down.

Recalling the moment when I faced Chu He,

He just felt like a lonely and helpless boat.

Drifting on the boundless, rough sea,

Suddenly, the sea was in turmoil, and huge waves as high as mountains formed in an instant.

Then, like a towering mountain formed by endless sea water,
It pressed down on him mercilessly with the force of a tidal wave.

At that moment, Qu Yuxiu's mind went blank.
There was only one desperate thought left: I was doomed and would die.

It was a fear that went deep into my bones.

Like the claws of a devil, it tightly grasped his soul.
It left him lingering on the brink of life and death, and he still feels frightened.

In the intensive care unit, which was as silent as the abyss of death, the air seemed to have frozen.
Every movement is particularly clear and audible.

Qu Yuxiu lay on the hospital bed, his body as fragile and helpless as a lone boat drifting in a storm.

His consciousness wavered between half asleep and half awake, and the pain was like the devil's claws, constantly tearing at his nerves.

suddenly,

The door was slowly pushed open with a creaky sound.

The subtle sound was like a thunderclap, which instantly exploded in Qu Yuxiu's ears.

His body seemed to be struck by a strong electric current.

All the muscles in my body suddenly tensed up, and every nerve was instantly stretched to the limit.

This sudden and violent reaction ruthlessly tore open the wounds on his body that had not yet healed.
A surge of severe pain like thousands of ants gnawing at my heart came over me.

Qu Yuxiu clenched his teeth tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
But he didn't dare to make even the slightest sound.

It seemed as if any slight noise would bring about a catastrophic disaster.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and vigilance.
Like a wounded beast, it is watching the unknown danger vigilantly in the darkness.

I tried my best to slowly move my eyes towards the door.
There was a hint of pleading and expectation in his eyes, mixed with endless fear.

When Qu Yuxiu finally saw that the people coming in were a group of medical staff in white coats,

The extremely tight string in my heart finally loosened a little.
He breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole person felt like he had walked through the gates of hell and returned lucky enough.

"This guy's vitality is beyond imagination. It's simply a miracle."

A medical staff member looked at the data on the instrument and couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of amazement and confusion.

"The resources in the intensive care unit are so precious. Now that his condition has stabilized, I suggest that he be transferred to a general ward as soon as possible."

Another doctor frowned and said seriously,

His eyes revealed a professional scrutiny and calm judgment.

"Special humans are different. They can survive a fall from a 30-story building.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been shattered to pieces long ago."

A nurse murmured quietly, her words expressing her admiration for Qu Yuxiu's tenacious vitality.

There also seemed to be a hint of indescribable jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Several doctors and nurses quickly and carefully checked Qu Yuxiu's current physical indicators.

After confirming that everything was normal,
He directed several nurses to carefully push the bed out of the intensive care unit.
Slowly walked towards the general ward.

Qu Yuxiu lay on the hospital bed, feeling weak and painful, but secretly thankful for his good fortune.

He endured the pain silently.

As he began to slowly circulate the mysterious power in his body,

Trying to speed up the repair of the criss-crossing, shocking wounds on the body.

He silently calculated in his heart that as long as he could rest and recuperate in this ward for three to five days,

I should be able to get out of bed and walk.
And in about a month, I think I will be completely healed.

By then, Qu Yuxiu must return to where his sect is.

Report everything that happened today to the master in detail, no matter how big or small!
When he thought of Chu He, a trace of hatred as strong as substance flashed in his eyes.

The resentment seemed to corrode the surrounding air.

He secretly swore in his heart that Chu He would never escape the punishment of death and his death was at hand.

Whenever I think of the intimacy between Chu He and Xia Chengli, as if they were a couple,
Qu Yuxiu's heart felt like it was burning in a raging fire. The pain and resentment intertwined together made him almost crazy.

From the time he was born till now, he had never hated someone so deeply and strongly.

This kind of hatred is like a poisonous python that chooses its prey.
It kept tumbling and twisting inside his mind, eating away at his sanity and soul bit by bit.

At this moment, the door of the general ward was gently pushed open from the outside.

Immersed in the fantasy of revenge, Qu Yuxiu did not take it too seriously at first.

He was still immersed in his own thoughts, as if a movie was playing in his mind.
I kept replaying the thrilling scenes from today.

And began to carefully plan one revenge plan after another.

Trying to find a foolproof plan that can completely dispel the anger in my heart today.

He thought and thought,

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me.

Qu Yuxiu keenly sensed something was wrong.

Some patients in the ward were still groaning in pain intermittently.

Although the sound was faint, it continued.
But when the sound of the door being pushed open just now came,
The ward suddenly became as quiet as a dead cemetery.

There was no sound at all.

All the patients seemed to be under some mysterious spell.
Lie quietly and motionlessly in bed.

Some patients opened their eyes wide.
His eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Some still maintained a painful expression, that expression frozen on their faces, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Some of them have fallen asleep peacefully, but their sleeping posture seems particularly stiff, not like a normal sleeping posture.

Everyone seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand.

The entire ward was filled with a strange and terrifying atmosphere, which made people feel creepy.

Qu Yuxiu subconsciously looked towards the door of the general ward.

This sight shocked him so much that he almost jumped up from the bed.

He was shocked to find that the bed next to him had been quietly occupied by several strange foreign men.

"Come with us."

One of the foreign men who seemed to be the leader said coldly,

His voice was low and hoarse, leaving no room for negotiation.
It's like the biting cold wind in the cold winter, which makes people shudder.

Then,

He mercilessly and roughly pulled out the needle from the back of Qu Yuxiu's hand.

The movements were clean and neat, yet also revealed a sense of brutality and dominance.

Qu Yuxiu gasped in pain, and a strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
