Apocalypse Magician
Chapter 17 1 Night Thunderstorm 1
In the night when the north wind howled, the rain fell heavier and heavier.
The torrential rain fell on the world, as if the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens was flooded. The river flowed down along the cracks in the night that the electric light split, and the vast sky and earth became a vast ocean. The big raindrops connected into a line, hitting the ground like arrows, raising a mist, making it look like a dream.
Li Xingkong hurriedly walked on the road filled with water and fog, his thin clothes without rain gear clinging tightly to his body, soaked in the chill of the rain, like the frost of the harsh winter in the twelfth lunar month. The trees on both sides of the road were full of cherry blossoms, and countless petals were scattered in the air, as if they were about to flutter in the wind, but they were shot to the ground by the ruthless rain of arrows, leaving them without even the final poignant beauty.
Li Xingkong stopped and looked around, watching the cherry blossoms on the tree withering, sighing silently, then carefully looking for a hiding place, and quietly ambush. The gap in strength between himself and the swordsman was too obvious. Li Xingkong did not dare to be careless for a moment. He calculated that the right time and place would determine success or failure in this last blow.
After a while, a figure gradually walked out of the mist. He was holding an umbrella in his left hand and a wine bottle in his right hand. He kept raising his head and pouring wine into his mouth. It was Liu Huyuan, Li Xingkong's assassination target. Liu Huyuan seemed drunk and staggered when he walked, like a child who had just learned to walk. Perhaps the branches and leaves of the cherry blossoms blocked his view, causing Liu Huyuan to knock hard with his umbrella, causing the petals to break off. The branch fell.
To say that Liu Huyuan was really unlucky today. He was so high-spirited when he was suppressing Li Xingkong and blocking Luo Yingxue, but unexpectedly he met Lu Bugui who was visiting his home, and then Liu Huyuan's fortune took a turn for the worse. Unable to suppress the situation, Wang Tuhao gave in temporarily and failed to get the beauty back as he wished, so naturally he vented all his anger on poor Liu Huyuan. At this moment, Wang Tuhao invited Zhao Gongfeng, the most powerful among the many diners of the Wang family, and took people to Luo Yingxue's house again, but Liu Huyuan became an abandoned son.
Liu Huyuan, who felt he had been wronged, ran out to drink flower wine alone in anger. When he returned, he was caught in the pouring rain. However, what he didn't know at this moment was that Li Xingkong accidentally saw this drunken man. Qi's assassination target is currently ambushing him on the road he must pass.
Drawing the sword, charging forward, and stabbing straight, after Liu Huyuan's shaking figure passed the ambush site, at the right time and place, Li Xingkong rushed out from the side and behind, like a shadow crossing the night, the sword energy brought up a crazy airflow, The falling raindrops also changed their original direction and flew away along the angle of the long sword. The cherry blossom petals floated vertically and horizontally with the airflow, flying around the long sword.
Liu Huyuan was disturbed by the strong wind and couldn't help but slip. The walking track that was originally a question mark suddenly turned into a full stop at this moment, so Li Xingkong, who had originally attacked from behind, ended up hitting the front. Li Xingkong took advantage of the situation and swung his sword, water splashed, and the sword tip hidden in the mist went straight to the target's heart.
It's a pity that Li Xingkong's strength is still too low when facing the enemy head-on. The moment the tip of the sword pierced his heart, Liu Huyuan broke out in a cold sweat and was mostly awake from the wine. He instinctively held the sword blade with his right hand and ducked back at the same time.
The swordsman's strength was not in vain. Before the tip of the sword touched his heart, Liu Huyuan exerted force on his palm and broke the sword abruptly. Li Xingkong looked indifferently at the broken sword in his hand and the blood flowing from the target's heart, feeling deeply regretful.
There is only one point left, just one point to seal the victory!
"Hahahaha, I was just looking for someone to vent my anger on, but you came to my door yourself." Liu Huyuan saw Li Xingkong clearly and couldn't help laughing wildly, "How dare you hurt your ancestors? Let's see if I don't cut you into pieces. Wan Duan!”
A thunder flashed in the sky, and the surrounding areas in Uuchi shone with a dense white light.
Liu Huyuan slashed out with his sword, reflecting the vast electric light in the sky. Countless cherry blossoms withered under the cold sword edge. The sharp sword energy cut thousands of petals into pieces, and fell like fine snow on Li Xingkong's cheeks and shoulders. Falling to the muddy ground below.
Li Xingkong saw it, but couldn't avoid it.
After barely avoiding the vital point, Li Xingkong watched helplessly as the tip of the sword sank into his left shoulder. Li Xingkong felt powerless again, as if he had been trampled under the feet of a wealthy king not long ago, and saw the white cherry blossoms withering in Luo Yingxue's anxious and sad eyes.
"With such strength, you dare to seek death?" From the moment he saw Li Xingkong clearly, Liu Huyuan felt that he had a chance to win and did not take his opponent seriously at all. "Didn't the master who taught you martial arts tell you that? , how to use the sword?"
Another thunder rolled down, illuminating Li Xingkong's pale face. Blood overflowed from the wound on his left shoulder, flowed along the sword body, melted into the rain and dripped to the ground, and the cherry blossoms everywhere gradually turned red...
…………
Electric snakes dance wildly in the night, reflecting the vast world. Between the sky and the earth, there is Li Xingkong who is fighting in a bloody battle, and there is also Luo Yingxue who is in a dilemma.
The ordinary farmhouse of Luo Yingxue's family was extremely busy today. The strong wind and rain could not stop Wang Tuhao from coming to force her to get married. It seemed that Wang Tuhao would not give up until the wedding ceremony was completed tonight.
In the not-so-wide courtyard, there stood a huge umbrella, which seemed to cover half of the night sky. Wang Tuhao was still dressed in festive red clothes, standing arrogantly under the umbrella, and the betrothal gifts piled beside him were larger than at dusk. A little more. Luo Yingxue stood not far in front, with several older children standing behind her. Their eyes were full of hostility towards Wang Tuhao, especially the fourth child, whose eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"Luo Yingxue, how are you thinking about it?" Now that the marriage proposal has developed into a forced marriage, Wang Tuhao is no longer as pleasant as last time. "I advise you not to ask for trouble. If you offend grandpa, cut off the trivial matters." The source of income for farmers is effortless, so do you want to watch these little beggars starve to death one by one?"
"You..." Luo Yingxue hesitated, looking at her younger siblings behind her, her originally determined face seemed to have a hint of hesitation.
"Sister Yingxue, even if we all starve to death, we can't marry this bad guy!" Among all the people, the fourth child has the greatest hatred for Wang Tuhao and has the most determined attitude.
"Little bastard," Wang Tuhao couldn't help but get furious, pointing at the fourth child and threatening, "It's not just your eldest brother. Believe it or not, grandpa will beat you to death too?"
"You're the one who's going to die!" When the elder brother was mentioned, the fourth child was instantly furious. He grabbed a handful of mud from the ground with both hands, rushed forward a few steps, and then threw it towards Wang Tuhao.
Wang Tuhao didn't expect that the fourth man would have such a move, and he was caught off guard and covered in filth. Unfortunately, the fine red wedding clothes turned into nondescript stains and dirty clothes in an instant.
"You, you, you..." Wang Tuhao pointed at the fourth child sadly, the happy day turned out to be so unlucky, "Come on, get it for me!"
Wang Tuhao gave an order, and two servants immediately stepped forward. One of them grabbed the fourth child, held his arms behind his back, and pushed him over. Luo Yingxue's fingertips moved slightly, and the water magic elements bloomed with blue brilliance. However, a person next to Wang Tuhao took a step forward, and the strong air waves spread out, as if the soil on the ground was splashed away, and the water magic collapsed at the first touch. Luo Yingxue was also rushed back a few steps.
This person was none other than Zhao Gongfeng, whom Wang Tuhao had spent all his efforts to invite from his family. In terms of strength and status, he was much higher than Liu Huyuan last time. Naturally, he came here to frighten Lu Bugui.
"Wang Tuhao, how can you arrest people at will?" Luo Yingxue knew that the gap in strength was too great and she could not save the fourth child by force, so she had to go outside the government regulations, "If you don't let go of the fourth child, we will report it to the official. You are illegally detaining me!"
"Young Master, what you said is wrong." Zhao Gongfeng had already taken action, and then stood in front of Wang Tuhao and took over the words, "Young Master, this wedding dress is very expensive. It was made from the top of the holy mountain outside the city and was made by the magician from the church headquarters. The adults made it themselves, and its value is immeasurable. Now it has been deliberately damaged. According to government laws, if you damage other people's property, you must pay compensation, otherwise you will go to jail."
"Ah?" Wang Tuhao couldn't help but be startled. Although the wedding dress is valuable, it has nothing to do with the church headquarters in the Supreme City. The Wang family is considered to be the richest in this small town, but in the Supreme City, they are not worthy of carrying someone's shoes. , but Wang Tuhao instantly understood Zhao Chongfeng's intention, "Ah, yes, yes! My wedding dress is a priceless treasure. You must at least compensate, um, one thousand taels of gold!"
"You guys..." Luo Yingxue is so smart that she doesn't know the other party's intentions. It's a pity that there are many things in this world that don't make sense, especially since the Wang family has a huge business. Once the fourth child is caught and sent to the government, it may be a disaster.
"If you can't afford the compensation, don't blame me for arresting him and putting him in jail." Wang Tuhao smiled brightly and stared at Luo Yingxue with narrowed eyes, "Of course, if the beautiful girl Luo Yingxue agrees to marry me tonight, I, this little thing, I just pretend it never happened."
Heavy rain poured down, and the strong wind swept the big raindrops, splashing in all directions. The place covered by the giant umbrella gradually began to rise into mist, as if Luo Yingxue's increasingly hesitant eyes were slowly rising. Tears.
But in the thatched house not far away, there was another scene.
"Lu Bugui, did you bring this tycoon Wang?" Ren Feng punched the table in front of him, furious.
"How should I say this?" Lu Bugui was still drinking tea calmly, looking at Ren Feng and Gu Yu who had been angry for a long time, "I just told Luo Yingxue that her family was poor and that she was going to get married. After the messenger reached the Wang family, Wang Tuhao came over on his own. But if you ask him, he must not know what this matter has to do with me, Lu Bugui."
"Despicable!" Ren Feng gasped, leaving deep fist marks on the table in front of him.
"Brother Xian, now you have only two options, either agree to come out again and help me do this, or sacrifice your precious daughter's lifelong happiness." Lu Bugui didn't care at all about Ren Feng's insults, as if a killer should be like this , "Of course, you have lived in seclusion here for seventeen years, and you definitely don't want to be exposed easily. That little girl Luo Yingxue is just an orphan you picked up, and she is not your biological child, so she will be sacrificed."
"Huh!" Ren Feng snorted angrily, turned around and walked towards the door, opened it hard, and walked into the wind and rain outside.
Another bolt of lightning struck down under the night, illuminating Ren Feng who was walking quickly, and also illuminated the pale-faced Luo Yingxue. The howling wind destroyed the struggling branches in the courtyard, and the white cherry trees were rustling in the thunderstorm. trembling.
"Let go of Fourth." The moment the lightning passed, Luo Yingxue suddenly looked up and finally made a decision, "I promise to marry you..."
"What?" Wang Tuhao enjoyed this moment and deliberately tilted his ear, "I didn't hear clearly. Say it again."
"I promise to marry you." Luo Yingxue turned away and looked at the falling cherry blossoms on the tree. In her blank eyes, she held back the tears that were about to flow out.
"Is this right? Hahahaha..." Wang Tuhao suddenly laughed heartily, as if this was the happiest and proudest moment in his life. Looking at Luo Yingxue's frail figure and beautiful face, his nosebleed almost broke out on the spot. He came out and reached out to touch Luo Yingxue's fair cheek.
