Early in the morning, the martial artists in Huaichuan County were woken up by another piece of bad news.
Someone had died again.
Jianghu was a place where people fought and killed all day long. It was normal for people to die when they drew their swords in anger. Moreover, anyone with a bit of knowledge knew what was going on with the frequent murders in the Huaichuan Mountains. Everyone was well aware of it. Other than being cautious, they did not have any other thoughts.
But it was different this time.
The victim's death was very tragic. He had been dismembered into eight pieces. It was said that he had torn his body apart with his bare hands. These men of the Jianghu knew very well how tough a martial artist's body was. To be able to tear a person into such a state with his bare hands, no matter if he was a human or a monster, his strength was enough to make people fearful …
Moreover, the identities of the two groups of victims found today and yesterday had been identified. One group came from the south and the other from the north. They did not know each other and had no enmity with each other. There was nothing similar between them.
That was more terrifying.
Because it meant that these two killings were not for revenge. It meant that the murderer might continue to kill as he wished.
This news was enough to confuse people. Many people gave up on the plan to enter the mountains for the time being. They wanted to wait and see for a while before making any follow-up plans.
However, before the dead were discovered at dawn, many early birds had already gone into the mountains to look for worms to eat. They didn't know anything about it and didn't feel anything at all …
While the people in the county were in a state of panic and the martial artists were running around to inquire about the news, on an inconspicuous cliff in the Huaichuan Mountains, there was a sudden scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
"Let … let go of me!"
A burly man with a strong back and a strong waist and an awe-inspiring aura let out an unyielding roar. He was wearing a close-fitting short-sleeved shirt that revealed his masculine figure. He was tall and had a heroic bearing. At first glance, people would have a good impression of him and feel that he was a reliable man, just like his current situation and his mighty and unyielding attitude.
"If you have the guts, let go of me and let me fall to my death in this mountain!
It's better to be with the green mountains than to be humiliated by a monster like you! "
He roared angrily.
This big man indeed had a reason to be angry, because he looked very miserable at this time. His whole body was hanging upside down from the branch of a pine tree, hanging above the cliff and constantly swaying. Below him was a bottomless abyss.
As long as the rope broke, unless he grew a pair of wings, he would probably turn into a two-dimensional being when he fell.
What was that saying again?
A soldier would rather be killed than humiliated.
While he was roaring unyieldingly, he was hit on the head by a tree branch. A soft and angry female voice sounded, "You cunning human. You clearly know that I won't kill you, but you're acting like a hero here after heaving a sigh of relief. How shameless."
The mighty man's expression froze, and then he flew into a rage out of humiliation. "I, Ji Haoran, am a man of indomitable spirit. How can I allow you to slander me!
Hurry up and kill me! "
After he finished speaking, he was hit on the head again. "If you're afraid, just say so. Why are you trying so hard? Aren't you thinking that if I really want to kill you, you'll loudly beg for mercy?"
The man finally showed a horrified expression. "Monster!
What kind of witchcraft are you using? "
"This is not witchcraft … Alas, you humans, everything you see is witchcraft."
The female voice sighed, and then said, "I'll untie you. Don't mess around, or I'll kick you off the cliff."
Swordsman Ji suddenly felt the rope around his feet loosen. Then, a small hand grabbed his back and threw him to the side of a mountain rock. He leaned against the rock and gasped for breath. He looked at the girl in front of him in shock and fear.
From his point of view, the girl in front of him was also a little beauty. Her posture was tall and straight, her eyes were bright and spirited, and her pink cheeks reflected a healthy blush. She looked very energetic, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind. Her thick black hair was combed into a braid, and she was very cute. If he met such a beauty at any other time, he would definitely find a way to get close to her.
But now, he did not dare to do so, because this beautiful little girl was not human, but a demon that could read people's minds. Countless heroes had gathered in Huaichuan, and they were all here for her. To be more precise, they were here for the sword she carried. It was said that it was a peerless divine weapon that never appeared in the world.
What Hero Ji didn't know was that at this moment, the girl was secretly communicating with something he couldn't understand.
The girl was a demon. Her name was Xie Wei, and she lived in a paradise surrounded by mountains since she was young. There were humans and demons there, but there were more demons, and they were different from her. The humans were kind but firm. They took care of them, accompanied them, and taught them a lot of knowledge, but they were not willing to let them take a step out of the mountains.
She was originally the child that the teachers liked the most. Her running away this time was equivalent to running away from home. The reason why it was successful was because the teachers trusted her the most. This was because she was usually the most obedient child. Not only did she never go against the teachers' teachings, she even helped the teachers supervise her own kind. She didn't let them be naughty, she didn't let them be mischievous, she didn't let them cause trouble, she didn't let them act recklessly …
Xie Wei did such a big thing because she had to escape. She was a demon, and there were many kinds of demons, and her tribe was called the Horned Tiger.
She was almost the last descendant of the Horned Tiger Clan in this world, because her parents had participated in the Tian Yuan Great War when she was still young. Furthermore, in the final battle, they had sacrificed their lives for the peace of the world and the safety of all living beings. They had died valiantly in battle.
She heard from the teachers that she had an older brother, but his whereabouts were unknown. Therefore, every night, other than greeting her parents in the sky and telling them about what happened today, she would look at the sky and pray, hoping that she could reunite with her brother soon. She really hoped that she could have an older brother, because she never knew what it felt like to be accompanied by family.
But she would never have the chance.
This was because the Horned Tiger Tribe had a mysterious power in their bloodline that could resonate with their family. When they reached adulthood, this power would awaken, and they would be able to see fragments of memories left behind by other family members through the spiritual resonance of their bloodline. She had just reached adulthood not long ago, and what she saw … was the scene of her brother's death.
Her brother's head had been cut off by a human.
What she saw were fragments of memories. There was no light or sound. She didn't know what had happened, and she didn't know what was going on. The only thing she knew was that the human had indeed killed her brother. She saw his face and some … other things.
Those other terrifying memories were the reason why she didn't reveal this to the teachers. She quietly planned a way to escape. She wanted to do something, and her plan was very successful because no one would suspect her.
However, she didn't know if it was luck or not, but Xie Wei, who had just escaped from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, suddenly found a purple sword falling from the sky. There was a voice in the sword, and she said that she used to be called Lu Shu-jen. Now, she was called Ji Du.
At this time, Xie Wei was communicating with Sister Lu. Sister Lu was good at everything, but her personality was a bit overbearing, fierce, and cold.
Ji Du's sword spirit was naturally a bitch that he hadn't seen for a long time. She said in a bad mood, "Why are you soft-hearted again?
We agreed to scare him and ask him about the situation. "
Xie Wei sighed and explained, "I saw that the branch made a soft cracking sound. I don't know if it can hold on. If it suddenly breaks, I won't be able to catch him in time. This person will fall directly off the cliff and die. Wouldn't that be an unjust death?"
The sword spirit said angrily, "Bah, you are a monster. How can you be more wishy-washy than a human hypocrite? Your teachers have educated you like a little lamb. Count it yourself. If it weren't for me, how many times would you have died along the way?"
Xie Wei said honestly, "I don't think I would have died even once. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been chased."
"…" The bitch personality couldn't help but be speechless. Then she said angrily, "You mean, let's break up now, right?
Do you want to take revenge or not? "
"I …" Xie Wei hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I don't know. I want to see him first and ask him why he killed my brother …"
The bitch personality said firmly, "That's why I said, are you an idiot?
Killing doesn't need a reason. In this world, you kill me and I kill you. Your enemy's martial arts are very powerful. If you go, you will definitely be beheaded. If you don't want to die, if you want revenge, you have to listen to me. Only my strength can help you and make you extremely powerful overnight. Do you understand? "
Xie Wei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Sister Lu, I will listen to you."
The sword spirit said gloomily, "Well, now pull out your sword and stab that idiot to death. Anyway, these humans started first. Since they came to rob us, they should be prepared to die. The essence of their flesh and blood is just right for us to use …"
"That won't do. You can't kill people. What's more, you have to suck out their flesh and blood. Isn't this something that only bad guys do?"
Xie Wei quickly rejected her partner's proposal. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, she looked at Ji Haoran fiercely and said, "You are not allowed to follow me. Otherwise, I will stab you to death with my sword. Hmph!"
Hero Ji trembled in fear. Then he saw the little girl leave quickly. Hmph, she was probably afraid of exposing her whereabouts and attracting a large number of people to search for her …
He snorted coldly in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. She spared my life. If I go back and find someone to stop her, I will be worse than a pig or a dog. Besides, no one will believe me …"
From the looks of it, the four people who died yesterday shouldn't have been killed by this little girl. Then … who killed them?
The mountain wind blew, cold and chilling. He couldn't help but shiver. Everything around him became creepy. Hero Ji immediately jumped up and went down the mountain in another direction.
