48. The first on the Golden Roll had appeared! The world was shocked! It was actually him!
"You once said that you would protect me for the rest of my life. Now it's time for me to protect you!”
Faced with such a stormy wave of Qi blades, Tian Yan could not help but think of a few such affectionate last words.
Unfortunately, her Ah Qi was right in front of her, so she didn't have the chance to say anything!
The air blade cut right into her Heavenly Silkworm Golden Silk Armor. A bright light burst out, and then a turbid wave of impact sent her and Jiang Qi flying back several feet.
Even several shops behind him were instantly turned into ruins by this vortex-like air wave.
Xing Hun was extremely puzzled at this moment. He originally thought that Tian Yan was only trying to scare him, and that was why he used the name of Demon Saber Ah Qi on this beef offal seller.
However, at the critical moment, she actually risked her life to protect him.
He couldn't help but reevaluate the identity of this beef offal seller.
However, what shocked him even more was that when he had unleashed the 80% Qi Blade, several auras had appeared at the same time to help him block it.
Other than the sword qi, there was also the true meaning of "Inaction" from Taoism.
He turned around and glanced at Yan Thirteen. Although Yan Thirteen was drinking by himself with a dazed look and did not even put his sword by his side, the cyclone between his fingers had not dissipated. He knew that Yan Thirteen must have helped him just now.
But where did this "inaction" come from? Could it be that some Daoist Heavenly Sect figure had already lurked beside them?
Xing Hun's lips twitched. He felt that this situation was getting more and more interesting, but he was not in a hurry to attack.
Jiang Qi was lying on a pile of ruins, and Tian Yan had fainted in his arms.
The impact just now was so huge that it was like a tornado. He really thought that his little life was going to be lost here.
To be able to die at the hands of such an expert, it was enough to brag for a period of time in the underworld.
He did not expect the beauty in his arms to rush out and block in front of him!
He was a butcher and had a poor life. Usually, if a customer gave him a tip of a few coins, he would be grateful.
Not to mention, there was actually someone who was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
He couldn't help but be moved to tears. At the same time, he was very envious of the relationship between her and the real Ah Qi.
He hugged Tian Yan and cried, thinking that she would never wake up because of that terrifying blow.
He was so weak, yet he still needed a woman to protect him. He could be considered one of her murderers.
Ah Qing had also seen Xing Hun's terrifying attack, but she was unable to escape from the attacks of the Five Sword Slaves and Moon Goddess.
Ah Qing attacked more than ten times in a row. The sword light was like a rainbow piercing through the sun and a comet striking the moon.
The Five Sword Slaves used the Earth Resistance of the Five Elements Formation to desperately resist.
However, Ah Qing and Little Red used this chance to jump out and headed towards Jiang Qi with Red from the Central Plains.
The Five Sword Slaves and the others also had some injuries. Seeing Ah Qing leave the battle, they quickly used this time to circulate their cultivation to recover.
"Beef offal seller, are you dead?"
Ah Qing came over to check on their injuries, her face full of worry.
Jiang Qi sniffled and said with a pained expression,
" Pretty girl, thank you for your concern. I'm just a butcher. I don't care if I die. I'm just afraid that in order to save me, this pretty girl…"
After saying that, more tears fell.
Ah Qing couldn't help but be shocked. That attack just now was so terrifying that ordinary people couldn't avoid it in time. She didn't expect that this net killer would really risk his life to save her.
She originally thought that Tian Yan only wanted to use Jiang Qi to get her people to protect him. Now, it seemed that this was not the case. She suddenly became even more puzzled about their relationship.
"You're a man. So you're so good at crying. Don't tell me your beef offal soup was cooked with your tears!”
Ah Qing smiled awkwardly, then felt Tian Yan's pulse. Although it was beating slowly, there were still signs of life.
Jiang Qi didn't understand why she was crying so hard that she couldn't stop.
Although Tian Yan was such a stunning beauty, he had only known her for such a short time.
The flowers withered, and at most, they sighed with regret.
But now, he felt extremely suffocated and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It was even more uncomfortable than death.
If he didn't have deep feelings for her in the past, how could he have such feelings?
He actually began to believe that he might have known her before.
Ah Qing comforted her gently,"
"Although your great beauty is injured, she won't die yet. Don't worry.”
Ah Qing pressed on a few of Tian Yan's acupuncture points to prevent her injuries from worsening. She then pinched her philtrum and channeled her zhenqi into it.
At this moment, Jiang Qi's tears fell on Tian Yan's fair and flawless face, like rain falling on dry land.
Her face slowly turned red!
Tian Yan felt her face warm up. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and saw Jiang Qi hugging her and crying like a child. She could not help but rebuke,
"Didn't you call yourself the so-called Don't Cry Demon God? Why are you crying now?"
When Jiang Qi saw that Tian Yan had regained consciousness, she was overjoyed. She quickly wiped the tears off her face and said excitedly,
"Pretty girl, I thought you would never wake up again because you saved me. It turns out that your body is so strong!”
"Humph! I don't know who said that he would protect me for the rest of my life. In the end, he's so weak now, and he still needs me to protect him.”
Tian Yan pretended to be angry, but then he said with deep affection,
"If I really die, will you die with me?”
"Die for love? Well, pretty girl, we just met. Isn't it too early? But…"
Tian Yan was just teasing him at first, but he did not expect Jiang Qi to be so conflicted. He could not help but wonder how he, who was originally cold, became so cute.
Seeing that the two of them had started to show off their affection as soon as she woke up, Ah Qing could not help but purse her lips and say,
"Miss Tian, your injuries aren't light, so you shouldn't talk much. You should try to heal yourself, and I'll help you heal.”
"Thank you, Miss Ah Qing." Tian Yan slightly propped himself up to meditate, then began to circulate his internal energy.
Ah Qing injected pure and natural true energy into her back again, and her injuries were greatly alleviated.
The Twenty-three Swords rewarded by the Heaven List did not appear in the form of a secret manual. Instead, it directly formed the true meaning of sword technique and poured into Ah Qing's mind.
In such a short period of time, Ah Qing had vaguely comprehended a little of the 23 swords of the Emotion Heaven and Earth.
This bit of true intent could not only kill, but also save people.
However, she had just tried it when she felt a huge consumption. Beads of sweat could not help but appear on her forehead.
Tian Yan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He was obviously much more comfortable, but his body was still a little weak, so he took advantage of the situation to lie down in Jiang Qi's arms.
Ah Qing rolled her eyes at Jiang Qi and said,
"Your beauty is finally alive. You can stop crying now, right?”
When Jiang Qi saw that Tian Yan's expression had become much more obvious, she could not help but relax her brows. She then smiled and said,
"Pretty girl, I was laughed at by you just now. I was anxious and…"
Tian Yan put her finger to his mouth and said gently,"
"You don't have to explain. It's enough that you can cry for me. In the past, no matter which woman it was, you've never cried for them.”
Jiang Qi was puzzled. Could it be that there were other women who knew her?
He saw that there was still blood at the corner of Tian Yan's mouth and subconsciously reached out to help her wipe it away.
Just as his fingers touched her cherry-like lips, he felt that this scene was so familiar.
It was as if some memory fragments had emerged from his mind.
In those clips, it seemed to be a female assassin wearing a spider mask, holding a sharp sword and attacking him.
Although her attacks were very fierce, in front of him, it was like a child dancing with a sword.
There were countless people who wanted to assassinate him, and he seemed to have killed countless people.
However, he was unwilling to kill this female assassin and even deliberately left many flaws for her, as if he was willing to die in her hands.
Although she seemed to be an assassin from the Network, her swordsmanship was really too poor. Even if he stretched his neck under her sword, she might not be able to kill him.
However, she was the one with the strongest will among all the assassins who came to assassinate him. This was because ordinary assassins were already deeply afraid of his killing intent, and they could not even hold their swords steadily.
He seemed to have played with her for a long time, but this female assassin was still so stubborn.
It was like a spider's web being broken by others over and over again, but it would still keep spitting silk.
In the end, he could not help but swing his saber. The female assassin cried out, and the mask on her face was cut in half.
When he saw her beautiful face, he could not help but pull her into his arms.
Then, he finally came to this familiar scene. He saw the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth and could not help but wipe it away. She actually stubbornly took out a dagger and stabbed him.
She didn't seem to resist at all and allowed the dagger to stab into her chest. She didn't expect her to cry because of it!
These memories appeared in Jiang Qi's mind. He suddenly felt that another version of himself was about to come out of his body, but this feeling disappeared in an instant.
He couldn't help but look at his chest under his clothes. There really was a faint scar!
Could it be that she really knew him and had come to assassinate him?
Tian Yan saw that Jiang Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but ask with concern,"
"Ah Qi, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Jiang Qi quickly waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"Pretty girl, what can happen to me? I just feel a little heartache when I think about how my beef stall has been completely destroyed!”
Tian Yan saw that his eyes had returned to normal and that there were no other serious injuries. Only then did he relax.
Although she was lucky enough to survive, she did not underestimate Xing Hun's attack just now.
She knew very well that such a person who was close to the peak of the martial grandmaster realm would definitely be able to scatter her soul with a full-force attack.
Even with the protection of the Heavenly Silkworm Gold Silk Armor, this powerful impact was not something she could resist.
There must be some expert helping him in the dark!
When she saw Yan Thirteen's half-smile, she understood.
Although this hero looked fierce, cynical, and aloof from the battle, he must have helped in secret just now.
He was not a cold-hearted person. He definitely wouldn't watch her and Ah Qi die in vain.
If he was really willing to help, there might really be a chance to escape!
Tian Yan cupped his hands at Yan Thirteen gratefully and said,"
"Thank you for saving me just now, Hero Yan!”
Yan Thirteen burped and praised,"
"At least you're sensible. If I didn't make a move, you and the beef offal seller would be two corpses now.”
Jiang Qi then realized that Tian Yan wasn't the only one who had blocked the attack for him. Yan Thirteen had also helped him.
His eyes lit up and he hurriedly thanked him,
"Handsome boy, you're indeed loyal. In the future, you can come to my shop to drink soup for free!”
"Your soup is indeed not bad. Even a dying person like me wants to drink a few more bowls.”Yan Thirteen had to admit Jiang Qi's culinary skills." But I want you more!”
" What do you want me to do?" Jiang Qi said in horror." Do you want me to die with you?!"”
"Wouldn't it be a waste for such a good seedling like you to be buried with me? If my sword art can only be buried with me in the end, it would be an even more reckless waste!”
Yan Thirteen looked at Jiang Qi passionately and said,"
"Why don't you become my disciple? That way, you and my sword techniques won't have to be buried with me!”
Jiang Qi finally understood that Yan Thirteen still wanted to take him as his disciple.
He curled his lips in a panic and said,
"Handsome boy, I've already told you very clearly. I'm just a chef. At most, I can kill cattle and sheep. I really can't do the work of killing people.”
"You don't want to use your sword technique to kill cows every day, do you?”
"Nonsense!" Yan Shisan raised his eyebrows in anger.
"Didn't you kill people quite happily just now? I think you've been thinking about how to kill people for a long time!”
"I…I really killed him by mistake!" Jiang Qi wanted to cry but had no tears. She was already starting to speak incoherently.
"I killed someone. Later…later, I still have to think of a way to turn myself in to the government!”
"Surrender my ass!" Yan Shisan's eyes were burning with anger. He almost exploded. However, he calmed down when he remembered that he was the one who was begging him to be his disciple.
He saw that Jiang Qi was not going to listen to him, so he said,"You have a little beauty following you now!”
"If you weren't so weak just now, she wouldn't have been able to protect you. Even I don't have to do anything."
"After learning my sword technique, not only can you protect her, but you can also easily kill all the people in front of you who are in your way.”
If such arrogant words came out of someone else's mouth, the Five Sword Slaves and the two guardians would have laughed out loud long ago.
However, they could only keep their opinions to themselves when Yan Thirteen said it.
They knew that Yan Thirteen was a peerless swordsman, but they didn't understand why he would teach a man selling beef offal sword techniques. They also didn't understand why the man would refuse!
If a peerless sword art was born, everyone in the warlike Great Qin would definitely flock to it. Could it be that the customs of other empires were different?
These people were also puzzled.
Jiang Qi shook his head and said,"
"I think this handsome man in red has a pretty good sword technique, and it's far better than mine!”
"If you really want to find a good disciple, he's more suitable than me.”
"You don't want me to learn your sword technique, but in the end, I can't defeat others and lose all your face, right?”
Red Sparkle from the Central Plains quickly explained,
"Brother Ah Qi, since I've already decided to take Ah Qing's master as my master, I can't ask this Hero Yan for advice anymore.”
Ah Qing whispered,"
"I haven't agreed to be your master yet!”
When Red from the Central Plains heard this, he immediately smiled apologetically and said,"
"I know that my talent is not good, and Hero Yan doesn't like me, but I'm more interested in Miss Ah Qing's sword skills.”
" You already have a good foundation," Yan Shisan said lightly." My sword technique is not suitable for you. Let's not waste our time on each other!"”
Red from the Central Plains nodded in understanding.
Yan Shisan's eyes sparkled as he said solemnly to Jiang Qi again,"
"Kid, you have to think carefully!”
"I, Yan Shisan, started learning swordsmanship at the age of five. At the age of twelve, I was familiar with the world's sword manuals. At the age of twenty, I comprehended the way of the sword and achieved great success in my swordsmanship. After that, he had killed countless experts in the martial world!”
"I'm more obsessed with the sword than anyone else. The people in the martial world call me the Sword Demon, and there aren't many people in the world who can compete with me in the sword!”
"But your talent is even higher than mine!”
"Me?" Jiang Qi could not believe it.
He was a scissors user who had never even touched a sword before. How could he tell that he was talented?
Just now, the blind cat had killed a dead rat because the other party had underestimated the enemy.
If even he knew the reason, such a top-notch expert should be able to see it better than him.
Could it be that he still thought that he was that Demon Saber Ah Qi?
Jiang Qi was already on the verge of schizophrenia. He originally thought that he was just a chef who sold beef offal.
In the end, so many people appeared at the same time and insisted that he was the powerful Demon Blade Ah Qi and that such a beautiful woman had risked her life to save him!
It would be fine if they recognized the wrong person, but sometimes, memories that did not belong to them would pop up in their minds.
At first, he thought that it was just a dream, but as time passed, those dreams became more and more real, as if they had happened to him before.
He could no longer figure out who he was.
He suddenly cupped his hands respectfully and asked,"
"Hero Yan, do you want to kill someone after learning your sword technique?”
Yan Thirteen was still a little uncomfortable when he heard him call him Hero, but he immediately said seriously,"
"Since it's the Thirteen Life-Taking Swords, each move is naturally meant to take a person's life!”
"Then I won't learn!" Jiang Qi did not hesitate at all.
Profound swordsmanship was the dream of all martial artists, but not his.
Becoming a Bloodthirsty Swordsman was not the path he wanted to take.
He just wanted to be an ordinary person, whether it was selling beef offal or cutting hair.
As an ordinary person, he shone and brought happiness to people. This was the meaning of his life.
Therefore, he could not accept Yan Shisan's kindness and waste his swordsmanship.
Tian Yan did not know what Jiang Qi was thinking.
If it was the old Ah Qi, with his terrifying strength, there was no need for him to learn Yan Thirteen's swordsmanship.
But now, he clearly did not even have the ability to protect himself. There was no doubt that only by learning his sword technique and being protected by him could he possibly survive.
But no matter what he was thinking, she was willing to support his choice.
Yan Thirteen thought he had misheard Jiang Qi's rejection and was about to ask again!
Suddenly, a red light burst out in the sky, like red flames burning smoke.
As soon as the smoke dispersed, nine bright beads were seen strung together. The golden light was even more dazzling than the red black!
This was the legendary Nine Stars Alignment!
The nine stars suddenly transformed into a dragon with a tiger's beard and mane, flying among the auspicious clouds.
The dragon raised its head and roared, shaking the entire Nine Provinces!
It breathed out smoke from its mouth, forming five-colored characters on the golden roll.
The number one assassin on the Gold Rank was Yan Thirteen!
Sword Demon, Sword Maniac!
The creator of the Thirteen Lethal Swords!
Defeating all the swordsmanship experts in the world!
His goal in life was to pursue the ultimate Destruction Sword Dao!
