Chapter 126: Afei and Lin Xian'er (Sixth update, requesting subscriptions, requesting monthly tickets)

Yu Liancheng looked at the person who had arrived, smiled, and said, "Investigator Li, you are finally willing to make a move."

Li Xunhuan gave a bitter smile and said, "I truly do not want to make a move at all, nor do I want to be Brother Yu's opponent in the slightest."

Yu Liancheng said, "Yet you have made a move nonetheless."

Li Xunhuan said, "I have no choice but to make a move."

Yu Liancheng's gaze shifted toward Long Xiaoyun at the side: "Is it for this person?"

Li Xunhuan said, "He is my elder brother."

Long Xiaoyun pressed his acupoints repeatedly, stopping the blood that was flowing out incessantly.

Then, he turned his head to look at Li Xunhuan, his eyes flashing with a bright light, and hissed, "Brother, your Little Li Flying Dagger never misses its target. Kill him, quickly kill him; only you can kill him. If you do not kill him, I will die."

Yu Liancheng could not help but shake his head: "This person is not only a piece of trash, but also a fool."

Li Xunhuan was silent for a long while, then said, "But he is my elder brother, after all."

Yu Liancheng sighed and said, "Some people have truly good luck; for instance, Long Xiaoyun. Perhaps he has only done one good deed in his entire life, which was saving you, yet you will always give everything for him."

Li Xunhuan was silent.

In reality, he had already arrived at Baoding City long ago, and he also had an understanding of the actions of Long Xiaoyun and the others.

If it were Yu Liancheng who was in life-threatening danger tonight, he would have made a move all the same.

This was his spirit of chivalry; this was the mystery behind his flying daggers that never missed.

Yu Liancheng looked at Li Xunhuan, then looked at Long Xiaoyun: "I wonder if you have ever heard a saying?"

"What saying?" Li Xunhuan said.

"A great favor is like a great enmity."

"Oh?"

Yu Liancheng said, "The favor Long Xiaoyun owes you is truly too great, especially the one regarding Lin Shiyin. And many times, owing a favor is just like owing a debt; when the debt cannot be repaid, the only way is to kill the creditor. If Long Xiaoyun has the chance, or if killing you brings him other benefits, he will undoubtedly take your life without the slightest hesitation."

Long Xiaoyun's expression panicked, and he hurriedly shouted, "Xunhuan, brother, do not listen to his instigation. We are sworn brothers, and I saved your life; how could I harm you?"

But this time, Li Xunhuan remained silent.

It was unknown how much time had passed before he finally said slowly, "I understand."

Did he understand Yu Liancheng's words, or did he understand Long Xiaoyun's words?

Yu Liancheng said indifferently, "So you still intend to save him?"

Li Xunhuan said, "So I still intend to save him."

Yu Liancheng said, "You are not my opponent."

Li Xunhuan said, "I am not your opponent."

Yu Liancheng said, "You still intend to make a move."

Li Xunhuan said, "I still intend to make a move."

"Good, make your move then." Yu Liancheng's eyes were already flashing with a blade-like sharpness, his Qi condensed like a mountain.

"Actually, I have always wanted to know if I could catch the Little Li Flying Dagger."

"You are letting me move first?" Li Xunhuan looked at him in surprise.

Yu Liancheng said, "That is correct."

The Little Li Flying Dagger never misses its target.

Once Li Xunhuan makes a move, there is absolutely no possibility of missing.

But if Yu Liancheng were to act first, he could ensure Li Xunhuan had no chance to launch the flying dagger at all.

Yet now, Yu Liancheng was letting Li Xunhuan move first.

"Good, I will move first." Li Xunhuan flipped his hand, and the dagger was already at his fingertips.

This hand was slender and powerful, the nails trimmed very cleanly, yet it was pale to the point of being unhealthy.

This hand was more valuable for holding a pen than a blade, yet it was the most terrifying hand in the martial arts world.

That ordinary blade, landing in such a hand, also became possessed of a piercing sharpness and killing intent.

"Careful!"

A flash of blade light.

The heavens and the earth suddenly turned dim.

The Little Li Flying Dagger, which never misses, had finally been launched.

This streak broke through the air, its sharpness keen, and its speed was even more incredibly fast, as if it had already pierced through the distance of time and space, reaching a point less than three feet from Yu Liancheng in the blink of an eye.

Li Xunhuan had great confidence in his flying dagger.

More confidence than anyone else.

He knew this blade would absolutely not miss.

But at the very instant he launched the flying dagger, Li Xunhuan suddenly turned around, scooped up the injured Long Xiaoyun, and used the Dragonfly Triple Skim light-body technique on the snowy ground, sweeping across several zhang, and disappeared after a few leaps.

His light-body technique was truly very brilliant.

Perhaps there were no more than a few people in the world whose light-body technique was more brilliant than Li Xunhuan's.

Although he had already swept out of Xingyun Manor, Li Xunhuan could still feel a sharp Qi, like thorns on his back, as if a sword might fly over at any moment from behind to pierce him through and pin him to a tree.

"Xunhuan, why are you fleeing?" Long Xiaoyun, held in his arms, had a pale complexion and revealed a look of confusion: "Once your flying dagger is launched, it is impossible to miss; could it be that he was actually able to catch your flying dagger?"

"No, I could not catch his flying dagger." Just then, a clear and resonant voice suddenly rang out, faintly carrying a touch of desolation.

At the same time, a handsome young man dressed in black robes had already blocked Li Xunhuan's path.

Li Xunhuan was still carrying a person, after all; how could he shake him off?

He held a flying dagger in his hand, appearing to mutter to himself: "Such a fast flying dagger, such a fast flying dagger."

Li Xunhuan had already stopped, his face revealing bitterness: "But such a flying dagger, in the end, still cannot hurt you."

Yu Liancheng toyed with the flying dagger: "Your flying dagger is already peerless in the world when it comes to 'speed', and its accuracy is not the least bit off. It is only a pity that its force is, in the end, still a little weak."

He twisted and rubbed the flying dagger with both hands, actually turning the flying dagger into a tangled mess.

"If you were launching a sneak attack from the shadows, perhaps the flying dagger could still wound me, but then it would no longer be the Little Li Flying Dagger. And if I am prepared, your flying dagger truly struggles to harm me."

Yu Liancheng indeed did not catch the flying dagger, but Li Xunhuan's flying dagger also could not break his defense. Especially since he was already prepared and was fully circulating the 'Ruyi Heavenly Demon Art'.

"The target of your blade was my shoulder, to make me unable to pursue and kill you for a short time." Yu Liancheng threw the "flying dagger mess" away, flipped his palm, and a broken sword appeared in his hand, though no one knew when it had arrived.

"Therefore, I must also give your shoulder a sword strike."

Li Xunhuan nodded: "One blade for one sword, it is very fair."

"Good!"

Under the moonlight, a streak of sword light flew out diagonally, like a startled swan or a lightning bolt, like white clouds in the firmament, like a meteor falling to earth. Simultaneously possessing speed, elegance, and power, it could be called the world's most supreme sword technique.

Li Xunhuan did not dodge.

He also could not dodge it.

A spray of fresh blood had already bloomed from his shoulder.

The broken sword, carrying peerless power, almost pierced through his entire body, sending him stumbling backward.

Long Xiaoyun, who was in his hand, could not help but be tossed up.

But Long Xiaoyun was not flung onto the ground.

Because a large hand had already pinched his neck, lifting his entire body up.

Long Xiaoyun wanted to resist, but only a crisp sound was heard, his head tilted to the side, and he had already lost his breath.

Yu Liancheng tossed Long Xiaoyun's corpse down like trash, looked at the injured Li Xunhuan on the side, and stepped into the moonlight to depart.

This long night.

Finally ended.
