out of time

Chapter 357

There was a cold light in Xu Qing's eyes, and as he raised his right hand, he grabbed a figure by the neck from the void behind him, and suddenly pulled it out.

The figure struggled, but it didn't help. The next moment it became clear that it was still Li Ziliang, but his complexion was rapidly turning black.

Xu Qing's hands are poisonous.

The moment he touched Li Ziliang, the other party was already poisoned and rotting.

At this moment, the other Li Ziliang who was fleeing in the distance, his body was blurred and dissipated.

"How do you know I'm here! It's impossible! And you don't have any doubts in your mind until now, you...what have you experienced in the past, how can you be so determined!!"

Li Ziliang, who was grabbed by the neck by Xu Qing, exclaimed in shock and disbelief in his eyes.

It was really the scene just now. If it were the opponent he had met before, the Metropolitan’s expression would change, and he would chase after him desperately. After all, everyone has secrets. It is obvious that the current situation is that the secrets have been forgotten. come out.

At the same time, his words are hidden from the beginning to the end, and full of doubts. When others hear it, they will instinctively raise distracting thoughts in their hearts, and they will also focus on his fleeing figure and will chase after him.

And this is exactly his purpose!
Li Ziliang doesn't have any power of deduction, and he doesn't know the slightest hexagram at all, but Taisi Xianmen's techniques are mysterious and focus on artistic conception.

But he hasn't cultivated the artistic conception yet, it's just reached the level of ideas.

The so-called mind is not the literal meaning, but more complex, a single word of meaning contains many emotions.

To be precise, what he cultivates is the thoughts of doubt. Whenever he confronts an enemy and doubts arise in the enemy's heart, then this doubt can be instantly sensed by him and turned into his own trump card, which can make the enemy's soul set on fire.

In the past, he used this trick to kill many people, except for the Daoist Zhang Siyun, no one would be disadvantaged.

He thought it would be okay today, as long as Xu Qing's distracting thoughts arise, he can use his own trump card, as long as Xu Qing rushes out and targets his avatar, he can secretly make a move, cooperate with the killer trumpet, and form a lore.

But today, he encountered a second defeat.

He could live the first time, but this time, he couldn't.

Xu Qing didn't have the habit of explaining to the enemy. At this moment, in the struggle and decay of Li Ziliang, his right hand was instantly transparent, and he went straight into the opponent's palace. With one grasp, he took out four golden pills that looked like crystals.

The shrill screams spread in all directions, and when the crisis of life and death was intense, Li Ziliang's eyes showed despair, and he spoke anxiously.

"Someone asked me to test you, that's why I challenged you before, Xu Qing, don't kill me, just let me go, I'll tell you who it is..."

Xu Qing's expression was calm, the dagger in his left hand turned into a magic weapon, and he sliced ​​open Li Ziliang's neck.

Blood splattered everywhere, flowing one after another, and white mist rose up.

The blood stained the skirt of his clothes and spilled on the ground. Compared with the white snow, the puddles were very eye-catching.

Li Ziliang covered his neck and stared blankly at Xu Qing, with disbelief in his eyes, as if he couldn't figure out why Xu Qing didn't stop for what he said.

After all, it was someone else, at least he had to ask a question at this moment.

Although he didn't dare to say who that person was, he could play tricks and name other names to cause trouble, and he had already figured out who to talk about, such as Sheng Yunzi's father, such as Xu Qing's classmate.

If it succeeds, it is naturally the best, and if it is not successful, it can also be exchanged for the doubts of the other party, so as to complete the lore that he did not continue.

But Xu Qing didn't have any thoughts to listen to, so all his calculations were in vain.

So at this moment, resentment appeared in his eyes, but this resentment had no roots, and in the end, with the fall of his body, everything became a grudge.

He actually regretted it.

He regretted that he should not be greedy for the benefits given by that person, and went to help the other party to test Xu Qing, challenged him many times, and even detained him to force him to apologize, so he had to fight.

He regretted that he shouldn't be greedy, thinking that there was a chance of winning this battle.

He even regretted that he shouldn't care about face and accepted this life-and-death battle.

But these are still nothing compared to his confusion. He didn't know why Xu Qing didn't have the slightest doubt from the beginning to the end until he died.

Now, everything has become resentment, and it has become the past.

The world was pitch black in front of his eyes, as if someone had drawn a curtain for him.

Outside the city, everything was clean.

Only sporadic snowflakes were blown by the wind, rolling down between the sky and the earth, floating on the corpse, covering the blood.

Soon...there was no blood on the ground, only Li Ziliang's body remained motionless.

Xu Qing's expression was calm. He heard the other person's words before he died, but he could not believe what he said at this moment.

He believed that someone was instigating it, because it was in line with his previous judgment.

But he didn't believe any of Li Ziliang's names.

In the final analysis, Xu Qing believed too few people, so most of the time, he only believed in himself.

Because it is obvious that anyone who can arrange to test Li Ziliang must be someone who Li Ziliang cannot and cannot refuse. If you really say the other party's name, even if Li Ziliang survives with Xu Qing, the future will be miserable.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the name given is false.

Xu Qing felt that it was not worthwhile to exchange a life with a fake name.

This is his character and his habit. When he feels danger but can't find a malicious target, it is also a deterrent to break off the minions protruding from the other party in a ferocious gesture.

As for the answer that made Li Ziliang confused before his death, it was actually very simple.

Just as he doesn't believe the other party's words to survive, he believes in himself, in his own judgment, and even more in his own memory.

"Xu Qing, I have been looking for you for a long time, the hatred between you and me, do you still remember me..."

This was Li Ziliang's first sentence before, but he didn't know that Xu Qing's enemies were all engraved on the bamboo slips. He often went to see them, and he would never forget his enemies if he forgot anything.

"I know why you don't know me anymore, your body...you are actually..."

This second sentence is even more difficult to stir up the slightest disturbance in Xu Qing, because he has become a habit of hiding secrets.

What he got in return was a kind of confidence in his own secret, unless the other party pointed it out directly, otherwise, he would not be moved in the slightest.

In the final analysis, it wasn't that Li Ziliang's thought method was not powerful enough, but that he didn't understand Xu Qing and couldn't say the words that really made Xu Qing's heart turmoil.

"It's gaudy." Xu Qing said lightly, this was the only words he had uttered since the battle.

At the same time, after a short period of silence, there was a great uproar in Liyou City in the early days, and even bursts of exclamations came from the mouths of those disciples who flew into the air.

"died?"

"This... this is too fast! Smash Tiangong, cut throat with one blade, extremely decisive!"

"How dare he!!"

"This Xu Qing, you can't provoke him. This person is obviously ruthless. His actions are killing people, and he is extremely ruthless... He is ruthless enough! He is indeed the only person in the Eight Sects Alliance who enjoys the treatment of Daozi!"

The sound of inhalation continued to come out, and the discussion was raging. In the entire city, the disciples from various sects from all directions and the casual cultivators here were all frightened.

They were frightened by Xu Qing's quick attack, but also by his ruthlessness. They couldn't see the skill of seizing the Tao, but they could see the withering of Li Ziliang's body and the grievance before death.

This allowed them to imagine how painful Li Ziliang was at that time.

And the coldness of that one-blade Fenghou made people feel a chill in their instinctive hearts. It seemed that Xu Qing standing there had become a vicious figure in their eyes.

All of this made everyone dignified, especially the Tiangong Golden Core cultivator, who looked at Xu Qing with deep fear.

Even the strong leaders of various sects paid attention to this matter one after another, and many of them looked to Taisi Xianmen and the resident of the Eight Sects Alliance.

Taisi Xianmen is quiet.

The same is true for the Eight Alliances.

They are all waiting, even though this matter is clear and there have been precedents, but here, they still have to wait for the sword-holding court on the Liyou pillar in the early days to give a conclusion.

Not long after, a cold voice came from the Liyou pillar in the beginning.

"What a bold and decisive boy!"

"In a peaceful and prosperous age, your personality will not last long, but now... what I need in the Sword Court is such a wolf cub!"

"Seven blood pupils, a good seedling has emerged."

"Boy, I look forward to your results in the subsequent assessment!"

The sound echoed and spread in all directions, and Xue Lianzi's laughter came from the Eight Sect Alliance.

"Xu Qing, thank you for your appreciation."

Hearing this, Xu Qing felt a little hesitant about the evaluation of being bold and reckless, a guess arose in his heart, and then he bowed to the sky.

"Thank you sir!"

Following the sword-wielding court's opening, this matter was also settled. After all, although the incident of killing outside the city did not happen on the eve of this trial, it still happened in the past.

Although Jianjian Court did not acquiesce and would not advocate it, but if it is actually done, it is not considered a violation of the regulations.

Xue Lianzi knew this, and so did Taisi Xianmen.

And Da Zongmen's thoughts will not be superficially revealed, so monks from Taisi Xianmen soon came to take Li Ziliang's body away.

Xu Qing also re-entered the city of Liyou in the early days, but this time his entry was different from before.

In the past, his words and deeds were not paid too much attention, and more of them were private discussions about his avoidance of war, but now wherever he goes, he is greeted with awe and retreat.

No one thought that he was avoiding the battle, but they understood why Xu Qing refused before, because the eagle was naturally not interested in the sparrow's challenge.

And at this moment, on the Taichu Liyou Pillar, in front of the Palace of the Sword-wielding Court, there are two sword-wielders standing there, an old man and a middle-aged man, looking at the land below, their gazes are all on Xu Qing.

If Xu Qing is here, then he can recognize these two.

The old man was one of the three people who fought against the Ghost Spirit Venerable back then, and the middle-aged man also appeared at Daoshan in Sanling Town.

"Is this the son?" This mighty middle-aged man, also wearing an official uniform, glanced at Xu Qing on the ground, and said lightly.
