My enemies became my companions

Chapter 227: Not Long-Term
Before facing the Broken Swordsman, Chen Yi thought of nearly a hundred ways to survive. But at this moment, nearly a hundred ways were shattered by the Broken Swordsman's murderous intent, and Chen Yi found that only the last one was the most useful.

That is...

"Master, save me."

In order to maintain his image in front of the little fox, Chen Yi condensed his true energy and transmitted his voice in secret.

The one-armed woman behind him remained unmoved.

Chen Yi turned around suddenly and said fiercely: "Do you really have to let me say it myself?"

Yin Xiao and Yin Xiao were puzzled by this, while Zhou Yitang sneered: "With your limited skills, this is the only trick you have left."

Chen Yi took a deep breath, and although he was unwilling, he nodded slightly.

After nodding, he realized his own reluctance and couldn't help laughing. He and Zhou Yitang were indeed very similar people.

The one-armed woman took a step forward and whispered a word. The Houkang sword on Chen Yi's back slid out, and then it turned into several sword shadows, shaped like six flying swords, floating in the air, lingering around Chen Yi.

She ignored Chen Yi's exclamation and said to herself:
"These are the six swords of Yinjian Mountain's Living Sword when it was perfected. When the sword intent was condensed and reached its peak, the six roots were purified and transformed into swords. You have read these words in books, but you don't understand their meaning. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Now I will show you what the superior sword intent is."

Zhou Yitang, who was usually taciturn, spoke a lot this time, perhaps to impart knowledge and answer questions. After he finished speaking, the six swords merged into one and pierced through Chen Yi's back.

He watched helplessly as a sword pierced through his chest as if it was ripping open his stomach, and went straight in front of the Broken Swordsman, but Chen Yi did not feel the pain of being pierced by the sword.

He felt as if his soul was shaken by the sword, and he directly felt the living sword of Yinjian Mountain.

Hou Kang's sword moved very slowly, and before the Broken Swordsman drew his sword, his figure had already fallen backwards.

When the Broken Swordsman slowly descended, he was already ten feet away.

Yin and Yin Xiao couldn't understand why the Broken Swordsman retreated inexplicably. Before Hou Kang's sword could pass, the man had already retreated.

But Chen Yi felt the sword with his soul and seemed to have caught it.
The murderous intent of the Broken Swordsman's sword had long been eliminated to almost invisibility by the sword of the living man.

How can you draw your sword without any murderous intent?
Zhou Yitang slowly withdrew his hand, pulled back the Houkang sword that had pierced Chen Yi, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

Chen Yi took two deep breaths and had a vague understanding, but it was like a flash of lightning, and he was elusive.

The one-armed woman saw it and shook her head with a hint of disappointment.

He doesn't look like the right material after all.

Zhou Yitang ignored him and looked sideways at the Broken Swordsman and said, "Thank you."

The Broken Swordsman just nodded slightly without saying much. He slowly came to Chen Yi again.

He seemed to sigh softly, "You have a good master, but I don't. In the past, my master and my wife had a grudge. I saw with my own eyes that he pierced her heart with a sword, but I was powerless to stop him. So I first gave up the sword and followed the knife, but I couldn't practice the knife. Then I gave up the knife and followed the sword, and I learned the sword technique by myself. For twenty years, I had no rivals."

Amidst the sighs, there were memories of the past in the martial arts world. There have always been different stories about the Broken Swordsman before he became famous. Having experienced this in his lifetime, Chen Yi naturally knew which one was true and which one was false.

But all the truth and falsehood have been lost. Now when the Broken Swordsman mentioned it, he did not feel any remorse, but only sadness.

Chen Yi was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the Broken Swordsman turned his head and said in a deep voice:

"You killed three people while I was trying to save others. I should have killed you, but the mastermind behind this is the main one, and you are the secondary one. Therefore, for the sake of your master, you must give up your killing sword and focus on practicing the living sword. According to the rules of the martial arts world, you must remain anonymous for ten years, and I will forgive you for your past mistakes."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Yitang out of the corner of his eye.

Was it just for this that she brought the Broken Swordsman to see her?
The one-armed woman seemed unaware of his gaze and slightly lowered her eyes.

She first ran for herself, then borrowed the sword of the Broken Swordsman, entered the pagoda and told herself about the whereabouts of King Annan. So much help was enough to make her grateful...

Finally, she brought the Broken Swordsman to see her, and used the Broken Swordsman's intimidation to force her to completely give up the killing sword.

At this time, the previous help was enough to make up for it.

After Chen Yi sorted out the whole story, he smiled bitterly.

Zhou Yitang would not say these things explicitly, because he could always guess, and most of the time, he did not want to let her down. But this time...

Chen Yi turned his head and said calmly: "The killing sword cannot be destroyed just by wanting to, not to mention that I have no talent for the living sword. Instead of doing this, you might as well just kill me like this."

Not to mention that he had vaguely realized that his sword was not only used to kill people, and he couldn't give up halfway. Besides, this sword would be of great use to him in the future.

Zhou Yitang finally raised her eyes at this moment, and she stared at Chen Yi deeply.

The Broken Swordsman narrowed his eyes and said:
"You have failed your master's efforts."

Chen Yi asked back:

"Are you different?"

"..."

When the Broken Swordsman heard this, he was slightly stunned.

He reacted immediately, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his fingers were already on the hilt of the sword.

This time, Zhou Yitong had one hand on Chen Yi's shoulder, as if he was ready to pull his disciple back at any time.

After a long while, the Broken Swordsman recovered and said:
"Killing you now would be unfair to me. I'd rather give you three years to repent. After three years, I'll kill you again."

If it were someone else, Chen Yi's eyes might light up when hearing this.

For others, killing each other again after three years might be a way of giving both parties a way out so that neither side would lose face, but for Broken Swordsman, it was different.

Donggong Ruoshu walked over in small steps at this time. Seeing that they were talking, this simple girl neither moved too close nor too far away.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and asked:
"Why three years?"

"Because I only have three years to live."

"What a coincidence."

This time it was the Broken Swordsman's turn to be surprised:
"What's a coincidence?"

"I can only live for three years." As long as the flesh relic soup is not dissolved, Chen Yi will not live long.

The Broken Swordsman laughed, a loud laugh.

“It seems that a sword suitable for killing people cannot last long.

I have always respected the sword of the living. If you hadn't said this, I might not have killed you in three years. At most, I would have destroyed your meridians."

"What do you mean?"

"You should have lived a long life."

"So you're going to kill me again in three years?" Chen Yi had originally heard that there was a glimmer of hope for survival, and now hearing these words, his mood sank again.

"good."

"why?"

"Because you won't live long, you are born to be a sword that kills people."

The Broken Swordsman said calmly:

"And I have said that a sword that kills people cannot last long."
