chills

The man raised one hand and looked arrogantly at the mother and child kneeling on the ground. The woman was terrified because she suddenly saw something like a black flame on the man's hand.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly the aura of ascetics.Jiang Qingyun could clearly see the black air surrounding that person even though she was hiding in the alley, but this ordinary mother couldn't see it.However, this time she saw it clearly.She showed a frightened expression, although she didn't know what it was, but black is not a good thing after all.

Jiang Qingyun took a wrong step out and was ready to make a move at any time, but she still planned to take a closer look.

The flame-like black smoke in the man's hand was constantly beating, and it seemed that it would pounce on the mother and child at any moment.

"Hey...you know? Our adults don't look down on people like you," the man said in a very strange tone, "Scumbags like you, as long as you are obedient, don't come to be annoying, no one will want you." Your life."

The woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word, with two tears in the corners of her eyes, trembling unceasingly.That silly child of hers finally noticed a little emotion called "fear", stopped, and stared straight at the man in black with wide eyes.

"Tsk," the man narrowed his eyes and glanced at the staring silly boy, "I'm different from us adults, after all, we adults are already very strong, I don't have anything that can make me stronger, I’m open to anyone who comes.”

He grinned, his eyes glaring fiercely.The silly boy cried "Wow", and ran to hide behind his mother, but the mother who had been protecting him was helpless at this time, her face was ashen, and she was shaking like chaff.The black fireworks shot out of the man's palm in an instant, enveloping the three of them, the mother and the child.

The woman thought her death was imminent, and closed her eyes in despair, but the expected pain did not come.She opened her eyes tentatively, and found a young woman holding a short dagger across the neck of the man in black.

The woman looked indifferent, wearing only ordinary cotton clothes, wearing a wind-shielding hat, her hair was tied up casually, with a few locks scattered around her face, she looked like a traveler who had just gone on a long journey.

Her clothes are not eye-catching, and she blends in with the hurried and indifferent crowd on the street. Almost no one will notice her, but if you look closely, you will find that she has an indifferent and dusty temperament, which is far from ordinary people. Compare.

It was Jiang Qingyun.

Jiang Qingyun clenched her hands: "Come here." The man was held up by her with a knife, and dragged into the alley where she hid just now.

"...Who?" The arrogance of the man in black disappeared halfway, and just as he was about to struggle, Jiang Qingyun's knife cut the skin on his neck.

"Passers-by." Jiang Qingyun said slowly, "You guys are crooked, you can't strengthen yourself, it's just empty air. Why do you want to do such a thing?"

The man didn't dare to move, Jiang Qingyun's knife would be able to claim his name if it penetrated an inch.The black "firework" is not his own, but given to him by the "adult" he said.Just like him, the group of men in black were endowed with that kind of power—however, just like what Jiang Qingyun said, his body is still a mortal body, without the tenacity honed by a perennial cultivator. Compared with ordinary people, it is of course very strong, but it is not enough for Jiang Qingyun.

The woman had just regained her strength, and she shrank to the side in fear, covering her stupid son's mouth, not daring to make a sound.

"It's none of your business——" the man in black had just said this, and felt that Jiang Qingyun's hand strengthened again, "—I, I don't know much."

"Choose what you know." Jiang Qingyun said.

"This black flame in my hand," said the man in black, "is a kind of black fragment swallowed by the adults."

"Oh?" Jiang Qingyun thought, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"With this, you can use it to devour the flesh and blood of other people...to become stronger."

"Interesting." Jiang Qingyun said lightly.

This person seems to be really just one of the bottom of the Xingyue Pavilion... Those men in black didn't even wear the Xingyue Pendant.It can also be seen from his skills that he doesn't have any training skills, he is just like a child who has a new plaything, using his strength to bully others.

"Do you know where the missing one of you went?" Jiang Qingyun asked.

"What is missing, I haven't heard of it!" The man was a little anxious.

"Don't you think that your lord gave you such a big 'benefit' for no purpose at all?" Jiang Qingyun said.

The man was taken aback, as if he had never thought about it.

"Among you, are there any regular replacements?" Jiang Qingyun asked softly in his ear, with a bit of demagogy in her tone, "For example, before you bowed down to 'that lord' Have the people under the banner left...?...disappeared?"

Maybe it was really bewitched by the emotions that Jiang Qingyun's words brought, the man opened his mouth blankly: "...Yes, they said...that is strong enough, and was brought to my side by the adults..."

"Thank you." Jiang Qingyun's tone returned to her usual indifference.She wiped her hand quickly, and the blood sprayed forward onto the ground in the alley.As soon as she let go, the man who had been restrained by her for a long time and was much taller than her fell forward and hit the ground with a muffled sound.On the other hand, Jiang Qingyun calmly took out a plain handkerchief with her left hand, and carefully wiped off the blood on her fingertips - she didn't even stain her sleeves.

The woman watched her kill the man. Although she was a little scared of the decisive girl, she still felt that she was not a bad person.She believed that Jiang Qingyun was the lifesaver of the three of them, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyun held her shoulders to prevent her from kowtow, and even reached out to touch the forehead of the child she had been holding.

"The fever is quite serious," Jiang Qingyun said, "Is this why you went out?"

The woman looked at her blankly and nodded, not knowing why she asked this: "...Yeah. It's been burning for several days... It's not good, and it doesn't work after drinking hot rice soup, so I took the child out ..."

Jiang Qingyun shifted her gaze to another older child: "Where are your family members? It's inconvenient for one person to take two children out."

As soon as this was mentioned, the woman's complexion looked even more haggard: "My man... died... because of that group, that group—"

"Lead the way," Jiang Qingyun straightened her bamboo hat, "My little girl happens to have some superficial medical skills, if you don't mind, I would like to take a look for your child."
