In the Blade

After a long time, Du Chengfeng, who was riding back, looked at the huge corpse in the mountain and was speechless for a long time.

He rode away just now, on the one hand to pick up the heavy sword that flew out, and on the other hand, he also wanted to leave Xiang Rong behind and let him fight with the monster to a draw.

The monster should be Old Man Ruan. Even without Xiang Rong's reminder, he could guess this. So since Old Man Ruan turned into a monster and Xiang Rong came out alive, he naturally wanted to keep Xiang Rong and let the former classmates have a good chat.

But this result was a little too unexpected for him.

Old Man Ruan would be plotted against, which was still within his expectations. After all, after polishing the Fangzheng Sword, he had already learned about the past of Old Man Ruan and Xiang Rong, and he knew that Xiang Rong was good at using a hidden sword to hurt people since he was young. It was precisely because of this that he rushed back to see the situation after leading the team away.

In the final analysis, whether he could live and work in Yanzhou depended on whether Old Man Ruan could live well.

But the facts prove that old man Ruan has lived too well. The huge body rooted in Ziyang Mountain and the huge branches that cover the sky and the sun, I am afraid that no one can deal with this level of monster.

Ruan Shantao, who is still in human form, can still subdue the entire Yanzhou with his own strength. How terrifying will Ruan Shantao be after he turns into a monster and fires at full power?

It will probably be a disaster for Yanzhou City and even the surrounding states.

So after taking back his big knife, he still came back. He wanted to come back to see whether the man named Xiang Rong was dead or not, and to see what Ruan Shantao, who had turned into a monster, looked like now.

But who would have thought that after returning to the Shanzhong Academy, he would see Ruan Shantao's corpse.

"One... No, it's two wounds."

After carefully observing the corpse, Du Chengfeng came to a conclusion.

Judging from Ruan Shantao's posture before he fell to the ground, he should be trying to grab something, which is consistent with Du Chengfeng's previous impression of the strange bird He Xixuan. This kind of monster has the instinct to devour living things to make up for itself, so it is not surprising that Xiang Rong was captured alive.

Then, Ruan Shantao's right arm was broken.

Just looking at the shape of the wound, Du Chengfeng couldn't tell what kind of weapon it was. He had also seen the Bailian soft sword used by the man named Xiang Rong, but the invisible sword light could only barely match his blazing fire blade, and it was impossible to produce such a terrifying destructive power.

If he had to find a way to describe it, Du Chengfeng felt that it was more like some kind of heavy artillery.

However, this attack was obviously more fierce and more deadly than the artillery in Du Chengfeng's impression.

With just one blow, Ruan Shantao's right arm was torn apart, and the second blow shattered most of Ruan Shantao's body.

With only two attacks, this monster transformed by Ruan Shantao, rooted in Ziyang Mountain, and even unmoved, died.

This is the trace left by the man named Xiang Rong just now.

"So strong."

Du Chengfeng walked forward and gently touched the broken part of the body.

At this huge broken part, it seemed that he could still vaguely smell the monstrous evil spirit left by that blow.

"So strong!"

The little evil spirit left at the broken part made Du Chengfeng tremble all over, and he almost drew his sword on the spot!

"Calm down, be calm..."

Du Chengfeng took a deep breath, turned his horse around, and rushed back to Yanzhou City.

The students of the academy had already withdrawn to the city. Many children had their homes in the city, so they went home directly. A few adults who went to the mountains to learn to read, along with the two mountain guards, were placed by Liu Bolun in Du Chengfeng's house. Since this was the house Liu Bolun had lived in, he was able to place them properly. Even Cui Yuan, who was hidden in the pot, was arranged to live together, and no one knew about it.

After that, Du Chengfeng found Carpenter Li, who had sobered up.

"Brother, I just got into the city in time, but I just mentioned it to the villagers when I passed by... Now you, leave the city immediately, Old Man Yang is already preparing money and food for the road, and you leave immediately after you are ready."

"Okay, I'll do it right away"

Carpenter Li nodded.

"What about you? When are you leaving?"

"I..."

Du Chengfeng was stunned.

Yes, when is he leaving?

It seemed that he should leave. After all, this time was completely different from when he was in Yangjiabao. The monster named He Xiqing would probably chase him to the ends of the earth for revenge. But there was no He Xiqing and no enemies at the moment. Ruan Shantao had fallen. This was a disaster for the whole Yanzhou. It was normal for him to choose to leave in advance. Wasn't it?

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature. Anyone would choose to leave a dangerous place.

But why did he think about such a normal thing again?

"Well, I still have something to take."

With that, Du Chengfeng got on his horse and left.

With such performance, even if Carpenter Li was slow, he realized that there was something wrong. He didn't quite understand why Brother Du said that he wanted everyone else to run, but he didn't have any intention of running. If he had only a vague feeling of this when he was in Jibei, then now, this feeling was too obvious.

If the situation is really like what Brother Du said, it is a disaster that will affect the entire Yanzhou City, then what is Brother Du waiting for? Waiting to die in the city?

Or is Brother Du really so chivalrous and selfless that he wants to save the more than 100,000 people in Yanzhou City by himself?

"I didn't expect him to be such a person..."

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be such a person."

Just when Carpenter Li was sighing, a voice sounded behind him.

"Originally, when he deceived me in the mountains and wanted to kill me, I thought he was just a fraud. But now, this brave momentum of actively looking for opportunities, this fearless heroic posture of charging towards death... God knows how many people he is going to kill this time! No wonder he has such a great talent!"

"...Who are you?"

Carpenter Li turned around and saw a man with wide sleeves and scars on his face, who appeared behind him at some point.

"Who else are you talking about?"

"I am Cui Yuan, a swordsman."

The man named Cui Yuan nodded slightly.

"As for me, it is Mr. Du Chengfeng, he..."

"Wait a minute?"

Carpenter Li frowned.

What a joke, he watched Du Chengfeng walk all the way from Yangjiabao, and the two sides have long been brothers, and they are even closer to each other-and he also knows Du Chengfeng's temperament, he is clearly a good man who lives and works in peace and contentment.

How come in Cui Yuan's mouth, he becomes like some bloody and cruel demon king?

"Good man? You actually think he is a good man?"

Cui Yuan looked at Carpenter Li in surprise.

"You said you know him very well, and you actually think he is a good man?"

"What else?"

Carpenter Li also looked puzzled.

From the perspective of his relationship with Brother Du, if he is not considered a good man, then who else can be considered?

"You actually think so..."

Shaking his head, Cui Yuan couldn't help but close his eyes, recalling the memories that had been related to Du Chengfeng.

"If you think so, then I can only say that you don't know your brother well enough."
