With that, Ming Ruo broke free from Ding Mu's ruthless control, and at the same time reached for his opponent's long sword, and swiped towards her own neck. But how could Ming Ruo's movements be any faster? The latter instantly withdrew her long sword and laughed evilly, "Heh, little beauty, if you want to die, I will grant your wish."
Ding Mu then reached out his hand, wanting to tear off Ming Ruo's clothes. The others were all glaring at him and gulping down their saliva. Ming Ruo was terrified, her beautiful face was drenched with tears.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed in front of everyone, causing the air to tremble. Hiss! With a sharp sound, in the next moment, Ding Mu's movements were still on the spot, and his head was thrown away, blood gushing out like a fountain half a meter high.
Ta ta ta! The round head fell to the ground. The fierce expression on Ding's face was fixed on the moment when he laughed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ming Ruo, who was the closest to Ding Shi, was so frightened that she fell to the ground, trembling and pale.
The others were also stunned by this sudden scene. Looking in the direction of the gaze, they saw that a young man had appeared in the courtyard. The man's pale face was as though he had just recovered from a serious injury. A dense coldness surged within his eyes as he held a soft sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand.
"It's you!" Ming Ruo lifted her head, her red lips softly muttering.
Han Chen did not pay attention to Ming Ruo as he stared coldly at the group of criminals in front of him. After he killed Ding Mu with a single slash, the others all revealed expressions of fear. The man with a knife scar on her face stepped forward and said in a cold voice.
"May I ask who you are? Why did you kill my comrades? "
"Han Chen!" Han Chen's lips slightly moved, as he coldly spat out these two words.
What? Han Chen? The faces of Scar face and others changed. If this was the past, they might not have heard of such a name. But in the past few days, Han Chen's name had spread far and wide in Blue Wind City.
"You are Han Chen, the champion of the Three Cities Martial Meet?" Scar Face replied in surprise.
Ming Ruo was so shocked that her eyes were wide open. Although she did not participate in the Three Cities Martial Arts Competition, she was still familiar with the name Han Chen. She never thought that the person she would accidentally save would be him.
Han Chen did not say anything, holding his sword horizontally, he walked towards the few of them. Scar face frowned, and bellowed: "Han Chen, do you know who we are?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
"Hmph, don't be too arrogant, we are from the Black Fiend School. If you dare to touch us, even if you havundred lives, it won't be enough for you to accompany us. "
"Black Fiend School?" Han Chen squinted his eyes, he only stopped for a moment, then moved his body, suddenly appearing in front of the other party. With a shake of his sword, he coiled around the scarred man's right arm like a snake.
"Brat, you're courting death. "Give it to me."
Before he could say the word 'kill', peng! With a muffled sound, fresh blood dripped out, and his bones shattered. Scar face's entire arm was ripped off by Han Chen.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" An incomparably miserable cry echoed out, and the companions of the Black Fiend School behind him all felt their hearts tremble.
When the nearby Ming Ruo saw how ruthless Han Chen was, besides being shocked, he was also overjoyed. They were the ones who killed their parents and Little Peach. They all deserved to die.
"What are you idiots waiting for? Kill him! " Scarface angrily shouted, causing everyone to wake up from their stupor. All of them quickly surrounded him and attacked.
"Humph!" Han Chen's mouth formed a disdainful sneer, the martial spirit energy condensed into the sword blade, and with the backhand slash, a sharp black sword qi shot out! He directly hacked the scarred face into two halves from the middle. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and the shattered internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
Such a miserable state made Ming Ruo's stomach roll, and she could vomit at any time.
With the power of thunder, Han Chen slashed two people consecutively. Without any intention to stop, his sword light flashed as he threw himself into the middle of the group and started a massacre.
This was a completely one-sided massacre. Amongst the few of them, the strongest was the one that had died. The only ones who weren't in the Body Tempering stage were those in the second or third level of the Refinement Realm. With Han Chen's strength, it was enough to slaughter them all.
His sword moved in a parrying motion, and his Phantom Shadow was matched with the Great Void Wandering Dragon Steps. The people of Black Fiend School had no form of resistance. Miserable screams rang out as the fresh blood formed a small stream.
Ming Ruo was gradually becoming numb, she had never seen such a bloody battle before. Her beautiful eyes were unmoving as she stared at Han Chen, who was taking all lives, and her heart throbbed faintly. If he had killed an ordinary person, she would have been terrified. However, the person he killed was her enemy, so he only felt satisfied.
But no matter what, it was impossible for her parents and Little Peaches to be reborn. From now on, she was the only one left. Thinking of this, Ming Ruo's tears fell again.
In the blink of an eye, most of the people from Black Fiend School had died. The last remaining wretched looking skinny man trembled in fear.
"Demon, you are a demon." The man was scared out of his wits. Trembling, he turned around and ran.
Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, an ice-cold chill carried with ihick aura of death. Hiss! The sharp blade edge pierced through his back, then his heart, and then he fell face first onto the ground.
Han Chen glanced at his corpse coldly, "Those who kill will be killed instantly!"
Those who disgrace others will be disgraced. Those who kill will always be killed!
At this moment, Lin Wei's escort office had turned into a complete mess. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, and corpses were scattered everywhere. Especially the criminals in Black Fiend School, there weren't many who were left with even their corpses intact.
The noon sun shone down on the land, adding a bit of heat. However, to Ming Ruo, she did not feel the slightest bit of warmth. She sat down beside her parents' dead bodies and sobbed. She was only fifteen when she encountered such a disaster.
"Father, mother, and little peach, don't die, don't leave me behind."
The heavens were unfair. The heavens had no eyes. Ming Ruo cried like she was in tears, when suddenly a slender hand appeared in front of her. Ming Ruo raised her head and a pair of clean and black pupils entered her eyes. That slightly pale face carried a few traces of comfort.
"Lin Ming Ruo? Right? "
"Ming Ruo's body trembled, she looked at Han Chen with his moist eyes, and nodded her head, at a loss of what to do. "Hm!"
"Do you have any other relatives? I'll take you to them? " Han Chen said.
"No." Ming Ruo firmly shook her head, a cold aura gushed out from her charming little face, "I want to avenge my parents and Xiaotao. You are very powerful, aren't you? Can you teach me martial arts? "
"Hmm?" Han Chen could not help but be startled, looking at the cold eyes, which were filled with such intense hatred, that it should not have been from a young girl.
"Please." Ming Ruo bit her lips tightly, her jade hands tightly clutching a corner of her clothes. "I beg you to teach me martial arts, I must kill all the people in Black Fiend School."
"However, I won't be staying in Blue River City any longer. There's no longer any place for me to hide. Moreover, if you follow me, you'll …"
"I don't care. I'll go wherever you go. As long as I can avenge father and mother! "
&n
bsp; Receiving the resolution in Ming Ruo's eyes, Han Chen's heart was faintly moved. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "Do you know how dangerous it is to be together with me? The number of people who want to kill me right now can't even count. "
Ming Ruo's limpid eyes were delicate and pitiful, tears of grievance couldn't help but flow out.
Han Chen frowned, he secretly felt distressed. Sighing, he said, "Alright, if you are not afraid of death, follow me!"
Chapter 124 - Linwe's Relics
In the backyard of Lin Wei's escort office.
A few of the smaller new graves were like small mound mounds on the ground. Ming Ruo knelt in front of the biggest grave in the middle and buried her most beloved person inside. The tears on her face had dried up long ago, and her clear eyes were even cleaner. But unlike before, there was now an extra touch of indifference.
Han Chen stood a few meters behind her, and looked at that frail and elegant figure in a daze. He had experienced the pain of parting from his loved ones.
After his mother and father left him, the Bai Clan was unable to feel even the slightest bit of kinship. But the more it was like this, the more Han Chen longed for that kinship.
Han Chen also knew that a few days ago, after a fierce battle at the Blue Wind Imperial Palace, he had dragged his heavily injured body and fainted at the Lin Wei Escort Office's backyard. The kind-hearted Ming Ruo had saved his life, and the cycle of karma was also the reason why Han Chen had saved her at such a critical juncture.
Han Chen knew about Lin Wei's escort company. The power of the escort company was quite ordinary. The escort team's leader, Lin Wei, was only at the seventh or eighth level of Refinement Realm. In front of all the criminals in Black Fiend School, he had no power to resist at all. He'd wanted to bring his wife and daughter with him and flee, but he hadn't thought that he'd be unable to avoid this calamity.
"Ming Ruo, don't be too sad." Han Chen walked in front of her and squatted down, trying to comfort his.
Ming Ruo's eyes were red and swollen as tears welled up in her eyes. She said while choking back her emotions, "I won't be able to see my parents again in the future. I'm the only one left in the world. "You don't even want me, Peach."
Han Chen's heart trembled, his nose turned sour. He remembered when his father left him that year, he too had been alone in the dark, wiping away his tears. However, the girl in front of him was even more pitiful than him.
Han Chen wiped away the tears on his face and revealed a gentle smile, "If you are willing, then take me as your big brother!"
"Hmm?" Ming Ruo's small mouth slightly opened, felt Han Chen's sincere care, and strongly nodded.
At the entrance of the Lin Wei Escort Office, Ming Ruo followed behind Han Chen. Every few steps, she would turn her head to look. The environment was familiar, but the people were different. The road ahead was uncertain, whether it was fierce or lucky.
In the evening, a middle-aged man stumbled along the streets of the Blue River as he shouted, "Another accident! Another accident at the Lin Wei Security Office!"
"So many people died in the escort company, the murderer is way too cruel."
"How can this be? A few days ago it was the prince's mansion, and this time it is Lin Wei's escort office. Could it be that it was Han Chen who did such a good deed? "
"I think that's him. I heard that the wounds on those corpses are very thin. It seems to be caused by Han Chen's flexible sword. "
The entire Blue Wind City once again stirred up quite a commotion because of the matter regarding Lin Wei's escort company. Due to the time constraints, Han Chen had only helped Ming Ruo bury the dead body of the person from the Lin Wei Escort Office. As for the corpses of the criminals in Black Fiend School, they were left untreated.
The people who found them thought that they were from the escort agency. Public opinion had already begun to walk around before the truth was revealed. Han Chen's name was once again trampled and slandered.
Some of the so-called righteous disciples even started to organize a search party to chase after Han Chen and help them think of themselves as "righteous".
Cang Yaner of the Azure Blue Prince's manor had naturally received the news as well, and immediately sent her hanger-on Pang Xiu to chase after Han Chen based on this lead. In just a few short days, Han Chen had become a villain that anyone could kill.
At night, in the forest outside the Blue City. A bonfire crackled, and from time to time, a few moths would jump into the fire and turn into black sparks.
Han Chen stared fixedly at the dancing flames. If it wasn't for the fact that Ming Ruo was afraid of the cold, he wouldn't even have started a fire. This was because it would easily reveal her location.
"Big brother, aren't you going to takest?" Ming Ruo rubbed her somewhat drowsy eyes. Just now, she had been cuddled in Han Chen's embrace and slept for a while. The shock during the day had made her mentally exhausted.
Han Chen shook his head, a profound look surfaced in his eyes, and he said, "Why don't you sleep a little more? We'll continue our journey in half an hour. "
Because he clearly understood the situation he was in, Han Chen was exceptionally careful. Staying in one place for no more than two hours at the most. After all, right now, they still had Ming Ruo, who didn't know any martial arts, so once they encountered a pursuer, it would be difficult for them to escape.
"I can't sleep." Ming Ruo replied gently. As long as she closed her eyes, the miserable states of her parents and Little Peach would appear in her mind. That was a nightmare that she could not get rid of. Brother, why did they want to harm my parents? "
"I don't know either." Han Chen said softly.
Ming Ruo rested her head on the other party's arm and continued to mutter to herself, "My parents are very nice people, and have never provoked any sort of enemies. At that time, I think I heard that person from Black Fiend School ask my father for something. My father said that even if we gave him the thing, they would not let us go. "
"What is it?" Han Chen casually asked.
Ming Ruo shook her head, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something and sat up, "Last night, father gave me a cloth bag to keep, and told me to return it to him after we leave Blue Ocean City."
After he finished speaking, Ming Ruo opened the bag that he had packed before he left, and started rummaging through his clothes and clothes. Soon after, he found a black cloth bag. After opening it, a yellowish scroll and a dark red bead appeared before their eyes.
"This is?"
Han Chen was stunned, could this be the reason why Lin Wei and his wife were killed? If the thieves were doing it for these items, it wasn't impossible for Lin Wei to leave them in his daughter's safe keeping to avoid detection. But what he did not expect was that the people of Black Fiend School would come knocking at his door so quickly and kill them viciously.
"What are these?" Han Chen first picked up the scroll, and carefully opened it. As he opened it to write the outermost section, four large words were shockingly written.
"Heaven Shocking Sword Art!"
Sword Skill Martial Arts! Han Chen frowned, and looked at Ming Ruo in astonishment. Ming Ruo's eyes turned, and said softly, "It's Heaven Shocking Sword Art! I have heard my parents mention that this iigh-grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique passed down by our Lin Family ancestors. "
From the name of this martial art, one could tell that this sword art was extraordinary. However, what Han Chen did not understand was that since Lin Wei had sucowerful cultivation technique, why couldn't he win against the criminals in Black Fiend School? Could it be that this sword technique was just an empty title?
He curiously slowly opened the scroll, and then the doubts in Han Chen's heart were solved. When he completely unfurled the scroll, he was surprised to find that there was not a single word on it. Aside from the name "Heaven Shocking Sword Art", everything else was empty.
"Blank?" Han Chen passed the scroll to Ming Ruo.
She took it, and confusion gushed out from her pretty eyebrows, but she understood it a little better than Han Chen, "Father said before, that this was something that Grandfather left behind. He had tried many methods, using blisters and roasting them over the fire, but nothing could make the words appear on them. But this must be the Heaven Shocking Sword Art! "
Regarding Ming Ruo's answer, Han Chen felt a little helpless. Lin Wei's aptitude was rather mediocre. If his ancestors had really passed down powerful cultivation techniques, he should at least let him cultivate them. Of course, if it was Lin Wei's father who hadn't comprehended the secret of this sword art, then it would be a completely different story.
The soft flame was like a fairy in the dark night, pulsing gently. Ming Ruo fell into deep thought while holding the empty "Heaven-Shocking Sword Art".
She knew that her father would never joke with her like this. Lin Wei definitely wanted her to keeowerful cultivation technique passed down from his ancestors. But why this is blank is hard to understand.
"Alright, stop thinking about it." Han Chen rubbed his head, shook his head and said, "Lin Bei Bei must not have comprehended any secrets inside, if not, he would not have been harmed."
Thinking back to the death of his parents, grief welled up in Ming Ruo's beautiful eyes, and she gritted her teeth as she tried her best to suppress the grief in her heart. After placing the scroll down, Ming Ruo immediately turned his gaze towards the red ball. The ball was smooth and round, a little bigger than a cinnamon ball. Holding it in his hand, he felt a cold sensation flowing through his fingertips.
"Big brother, what is this?" Ming Ruo asked.
"Hmm?" Han Chen did not pay too much attention to the bead, he accepted it and looked at it carefully: "I have never seen this before, did Lin Bei Bei not tell you before?"
Ming Ruo shook her head, indicating that she did not.
Han Chen's face revealed a confused look. Just when he felt that there was nothing special about this item. Han Chen's eyes suddenly blurred and his consciousness blurred. He became dizzy and drunk.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Ming Ruo noticed the change in Han Chen's expression and immediately asked nervously. Hearing Ming Ruo's call, Han Chen's body violently shook. He forcefully closed his eyes, opened them again, and shook his head again, as if he had just awoken from a dream.
