My enemies became my companions

Chapter 51 Conscience is still intact
"Who is this extraterritorial demon?"

Min Ning asked in confusion,
"Could it be related to the Xiangguo case?"

"Who am I asking you to ask me?"

Chen Yi spread his hands.

I really didn't lie to Min Ning. I didn't even know who this extraterritorial demon was...

If the original plot of "Heaven Beyond Heaven" was followed, the day of wiping out bandits and eliminating demons would not come early, and there would be no such thing as a demon from outer space.

Unknown to oneself, subtle changes are taking place in the prayer hall and even in the entire world. These changes come together, creating a butterfly effect and ultimately leading to deviations.

As for the connection between the prayer hall and the Xiangguo case...

There is indeed a connection, but Min Ning cannot be told now. If she knows too early, her life will be in danger.

"Keep investigating, there will be results sooner or later." Chen Yi said.

Min Ning nodded slightly. After a while, she asked for no reason:
"Um...your concubine, how are you going to deal with her?"

After hearing this, Chen Yi turned to look at Min Ning. What he said was really unreasonable.

"What's wrong? Why do you care?"

Min Ning turned his head and looked at him sideways.
"No matter what, you have to get married. If you marry a knowledgeable lady, she can find out your identity from the concubines. What will you do then?"

Chen Yi listened to her words and said directly:
"When I marry a woman, I must know her inside out. I don't care about her family background or her origin. I just want her to be pretty and care about me. That's enough."

Having said that, Chen Yi actually already had an idea in his mind - Zhou Yitang.

Hearing this, Min Ning took a deep breath.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she suddenly wanted to ask this. It might be the cold wind of late autumn that made her suddenly think of the "Xue" in the name of the King Xiang's daughter. Thinking back to the girl, even though they had only met a few times, she could tell from the girl's almond eyes that the latter held a grudge against Chen Yi, but she was also submissive.

Then she heard one of his teasing jokes:

"Why are you asking this suddenly? Is it possible that Young Master Min is aroused by love?"

"how is this possible?"

Min Ning snorted coldly and continued:
"Your concubine is still a virgin."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you let her go? You don't need to worry about her being exposed when you marry..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi interrupted:

"Let her go? Impossible. You are saying this for no reason. Are you jealous or something? Give me a reason."

Min Ning didn't look at him, but just said:

"In fact, you still have a conscience. I can see it these days."

Chen Yi felt inexplicably upset and was speechless for a moment.

Min Ning doesn't care whether she thinks of herself as a bad person or a shameless villain, but she actually says that she still has a conscience, which is really uncomfortable.

"I am uncomfortable."

"what happened?"

"You said I still have a conscience, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Min Ning opened his mouth and was about to scold him, but suddenly, some noise came from outside the alley.

The alley was very deep, neither wide nor narrow. They had originally planned to return to the East Factory. At this moment, the alley suddenly became quiet, and the eerie silence spread, and there was a faint breath approaching.

In the distance, a figure wearing a conical hat appeared. His hair was gray, and his clothes were tattered with a lot of patches on them. He had a ring-handled sword tied around his waist. It had no scabbard and was wrapped in cloth.

"The oil seller combs her hair with water, the butcher chews bones." He sang as he walked.

"Who?"

Chen Yi asked directly.

"The fifth generation disciple of the Bailiu Sect, You Xu."

The visitor didn't waste any time and directly gave his name.

"Sent by Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Looking at the ring-handled sword, Chen Yifa asked.

“…Not really.”

You Xu tore open the cloth strip and took out a ring-handled sword, which was almost identical to Huang Liuqing's, but his aura was more steady and restrained than the latter's.

"I have received a meal from Yuxiu Manor. If I can kill you within one stick of incense, it will be my repayment. If not, I will make amends and give you this technique."

Hearing this, Chen Yi looked at this You Xu of unknown origin in confusion.

Min Ning looked at him nervously and was about to draw his sword, but Chen Yi raised his hand to stop him:
"If I come, you'll only cause more trouble." His tone was serious, and Min Ning immediately realized that Chen Yi was not teasing.

Min Ning took a few steps back to make enough space.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and drew his sword.

Although I don't know You Xu's origins, it's a good opportunity to use him to test my current self.

Chen Yi raised his knife and placed it in front of him, saying:

"Come."

You Xu followed and attacked and killed him.

The warrior, who knew his fate, flashed and chopped towards Chen Yi's face with his sword. At first, he only used 30% of his strength when he raised the sword, but the momentum of the chop was so strong and heavy that he exerted 100% of his strength!

Chen Yi silently recited the Shangqing Heart Method, and the swift knife slowed down in his eyes by half a second. In the fight between masters, every second is extremely critical and will affect judgment.

At first, Chen Yi had the thought of raising his sword to block, but half a second later, he immediately dodged the fierce blow by turning sideways. The ring-handled sword slashed in the air, but its sharp blade cut a half-inch hole in the bluestone brick.

After turning sideways, Chen Yi couldn't draw his knife, so he raised his hand and threw a punch.

A heavy punch was thrown, and a powerful energy surged out. Even though You Xu had already moved back in time, he was still hit in the chest by the punch. The sound of bones cracking could be faintly heard, and the latter retreated six or seven steps.

"Good boxing skills!"

You Xu praised.

"Good form."

Chen Yi said calmly.

The punch was thrown very quickly and the distance between the two was very close, but even so, the old man in his fifties still stepped back in time to absorb the force of the punch. His body movement was far better than that of Huang Liuqing, who was also from the Bailiu School.

Speaking of which, this person introduced himself as a member of the Bailiu School. Could he be the master of Huang Liuqing?
Chen Yi's brows were grim as he thought.

You Xu raised his knife again, stomped his boots on the ground, and rushed over directly. He first raised his hand to chop horizontally, but when Chen Yi raised his knife to the left to block, You Xu suddenly pulled the knife higher, changing the horizontal chop into a vertical chop, as if he wanted to cut Chen Yi in two.

However, at the moment he pretended to move and turned his hand, Chen Yi saw through it instantly thanks to the Shangqing Heart Method, and took a step back to avoid the knife.

You Xu failed to chop vertically, so he changed it to a dragging move. His body flew in front of him like an eagle spreading its wings, and he slashed from bottom to top.

A cold light flashed by.

Chen Yi raised the knife and moved it to the left with the back of the knife to reduce the force of the knife. Then he held the knife with one hand, pressed down the extremely long ring-handled knife, raised his elbow, and hit him hard in the face.

The elbow is the hardest part of the human body. Combined with the Cangshan Fist, this blow breaks through the air and is unstoppable.

At the critical moment, You Xu's head suddenly tilted back, and then his chest moved upward, and he caught the elbow with his clavicle. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his gray hair was messy, and then he retreated five or six steps.

"Heh...Young people are better than strong ones. I almost got killed by your elbow."

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, You Xu continued:
"It seems like only... half an incense stick of time has passed? Your reaction is good, but... you can kill Feng Ying so easily just by doing this? This shouldn't be the case. You still have a trick up your sleeve."

"Exactly."

This fight in the alley was more like a martial arts competition than a one-on-one fight, with each player constantly countering the opponent's moves and launching their own attacks.

You Xu raised his knife and said cheerfully:

"Come on, come on."

Then, he flashed, raised his knife and chopped vertically.

This slash had no feints, no changes of tactics, and no initial use of strength. Instead, it was pure and powerful force, and a crosswind blew through the alley!
Chen Yi did not retreat like he did before, but took a step forward and suddenly slashed out.

Destroy the wind and cut through the rain.

Min Ning saw the two knives crossing each other like lightning. Half a breath later, he belatedly heard the sound of knives in the alley, like the cry of a phoenix breaking jade!
It was so miserable, as if a knife had been cut off!

Shake——

The half-broken ring-handled sword danced round and round in the air, then fell to the ground, swaying on the ground.

Chen Yi raised his hand to finish off You Xu.

The old man reacted faster. He bent down to avoid it, then jumped back several steps.

"No martial virtue!"

You Xu cursed.

Then he lowered his eyes and glanced at the broken knife in his hand with a sense of loss, his heart filled with shock.

Although he was injured when he was young and his road to martial arts was almost cut off, his sword skills can still make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

After wandering around the martial arts world for so long, I thought that the Bailiu Sword was one of the top three sword techniques in the world with the strongest blade power. But who could have thought that this guy could actually cut off his own ring-handled sword!

I'm afraid there are few swords in the world that can compare with this one. For a moment, You Xu could only think of the sword technique "Silent Slash" created by "Broken Swordsman", the sword master of the Chen family of Jin State. It is said that after he topped the martial arts list, he traveled to the ancient Qin land and encountered the flooding of the Wuding River. He cut the river with a single sword, and the turbid river has been divided into two since then, and it has remained unchanged for thirty years!
