This sword was truly as fast as thunder and as powerful as a dragon or a tiger. Unfortunately, it failed to directly kill the opponent.
The elders of the Cui family who testified on the left and right were not just ordinary people. They were all in the ninth level of Xuanguan. How could they let a young man violently kill his clan members in front of them?
"Bang!" Several fists hit the side of the knife almost in no particular order.
To everyone's expectation, this level of crushing was even more outrageous than an adult beating a child. With so many people slapping their knives at the same time, they were the ones who were knocked back by the backlash.
Daxia Longque’s own rejection!
You ordinary people also want to touch me!
A group of Cui family elders fell back in shock, and some of them were pushed against the wall of the Copper Palace by the force of the counterattack.
However, their strength still deflected the movement of the broadsword. The sword could barely cut through the corner of the young man's clothes. The other party instinctively jumped back and avoided the decapitation with a cold sweat all over his body. .
"Zhao Changhe!" The man jumped out of the palace angrily, pointing his halberd and scolding: "You are conspiring with your two brothers-in-law to frame and kill people at will, disturbing the muddy water!"
"What happened?" There were countless people outside, and there was chaos: "Why did the fight suddenly start?"
Cui Wenjue stood out from the crowd, supported the young man, and asked coldly in the palace: "Brother, what do you mean? Is this Qinghe arguing about adultery, or is he showing off his power?"
This is his son, Cui Yuanteng.
Cui Wen Z stopped the clan elders who were sent flying to the wall of the palace from continuing to surround Zhao Changhe in the palace. He looked at Zhao Changhe with a strange expression, and then at his daughter who was quite at a loss.
The development of this matter was beyond his expectation. He really just wanted to let Zhao Changhe quietly test the affinity of Daxia Longque this time, and had no intention of letting Zhao Changhe get involved with the Cui family. Now, the dragon bird showing off its power is not something that can be predicted. But how can I put it...the effect of this unexpected change seems to be better than what I originally planned.
He calmly took out the sword and said calmly: "I need to apologize to all the clansmen first, before I deceived you."
The mood is stirring.
Many old people said: "Wen Z might as well explain it more clearly."
Cui Wen Z said: "The sword is a dead thing after all. You can use it to distinguish ghosts and monsters. After all, it is still possible to kill them because of other things. We are all members of our own clan, how can I let it go?"
An old man smacked his lips in pain: "Then Wen Z asked everyone to go in for a test, isn't it just for fun?"
"It was dark in the hall, and the scabbard was also black. The juniors had little practice and couldn't tell that I had put some small things on the scabbard beforehand. If you are innocent, you will naturally touch the sword, and there must be contamination on your hands. If you have it in your heart, Damn it, maybe the internal force guard seems to be touching the sword, but in fact it doesn't dare to touch it at all." Cui Wen Z smiled slightly: "This is the real identification method. In fact, this method has been recorded in the history of the Era. Created by me."
Crap... Zhao Changhe was shocked. Many people may know the allusion, and he also knows it, but he really has never thought of this trick.
Now he is very suspicious that the other party has done so much to force out the fact that there is something wrong with Qinghe Sword. As a result, my father-in-law had no intention of relying on any fantasy identification method from the beginning to the end. Even if there was something wrong with the sword, he would cover it up and no one would suspect it at all.
In fact, Cui Wen Z himself proposed using the Qinghe Sword for identification just to create this scene and to openly prove to some people who had doubts: There is nothing wrong with the Qinghe Sword. I dare to let everyone touch it and take it. Standing in front of everyone with it, the voices of doubt can rest.
This is the main reason for this series of operations. Finding the real murderer is just a side effect.
You are so awesome, how can you be so stupid after giving birth to a daughter... so cute?
The whispers gradually subsided, and everyone understood what Cui Wen?Z meant. This trick is indeed very useful...
Cui Wen? Z chuckled and looked around: "You understand it, then it's easy to handle. Now everyone spread out their hands, let everyone see, how are your palms?"
Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuancheng immediately stretched out their hands, and everyone looked around. Sure enough, the palms of their hands were a little black, and they didn't know what had been smeared on them.
The other young people who had participated in the test looked at each other and spread their hands. Sure enough, they were all black, some were darker and some were lighter, but they were all obviously touched.
Cui Wen?Z finally looked at Cui Yuanteng next to Cui Wenjue and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, it's your turn."
Cui Yuanteng's face turned a little pale, he subconsciously hid his hands behind his back, and even shrank behind his father.
Everyone's eyes changed. This action alone can already explain a lot of problems.
Cui Yuanteng stuttered and shouted: "I, I was chopped by Zhao Changhe with a knife before I had a chance to touch the sword. They did it on purpose, yes, they did it on purpose, not letting me touch the sword!"
Cui Wen Z smiled, and several clan elders around him shook their heads. They deflected Zhao Changhe's knife and saved Cui Yuanteng. They were just saving the nephew of the clan, but it did not mean that they blindly helped Cui Yuanteng. Then a clan elder sighed and said: "As my witness, I can see clearly that Yuan Teng was already touching the sword, and he seemed to have touched it generously several times, but it turned out that the inner force wrapped his hand and there was no contact at all."
It seems that the truth has been revealed.
Cui Wenjue's face was very ugly, and he said slowly: "Brother's plan seems reasonable, but in fact it is still biased. Yuan Teng has been a bit naughty since he was a child, and there are things about bullying men and dominating women. Maybe he has a guilty conscience and dare not accept it. The sword debate is not unusual, so how can we arbitrarily determine that this is an act of killing a sister?"
Cui Wen?Z smiled and said: "It makes sense. Then Yuan Teng and Zhao Changhe are not relatives and have no grievances. Why did they reveal murderous intentions and provoke Daxia Longque to fight back?"
Cui Yuanteng frowned and said: "I don't accept him boarding the Qianlong Eighty-eight, let alone a gangster who wants to eat swan meat, no! There are so many people who don't like him, what does it mean?"
In fact, everyone in the audience knew very well that the matter was already obvious.
But if the other party insists on making excuses, it is difficult to attack him. After all, there is no real irrefutable evidence unless he is jailed and tried severely. However, Cui Wenjue is not an ordinary person. He is the second-largest figure in the Cui family, the governor of Qinghe County, and has many implication. I don't know how many members of the clan are his, and relations with the outside world and even with the court are very troublesome. If he wants to forcefully argue, how can this matter be resolved?
Everyone is looking at Cui Wen Z, waiting for him to speak to see if he will decisively start a civil war.
Cui Wen Z smiled slightly and actually asked: "Changhe, you are the party involved, what do you think?"
"The family is in ruins, it's really a mess." There was a sneer at the door of the Tongdian. Zhao Changhe put the broad knife on his shoulder and strode out: "Ask me for my opinion? I don't care what the reason for this thing is. Seeing that I am unhappy, you can’t rely on the fact that the murderous intention is directed at me?”
Cui Yuanteng sneered: "So what?"
"Who is the devil in the Cui family? I am not an investigator, so I can ignore it. Now you want to kill me, this is a private matter between me and you! If you are a man, just get out from behind your father's buttocks and follow It’s a fair fight! The Cui family’s martial arts has been passed down for generations, don’t you even have the courage to do so?”
Cui Yuanteng's eyes were full of hatred, and he sneered: "Who can you be a hero by relying on the power of the Daxia Dragon Bird artifact? If you don't have this sword, how can you rely on a gangster like you? Qianlong Eighty-Eight, what a joke!"
"Huh?" Zhao Changhe laughed loudly, stuck the dragon bird on the ground with a clang, and took off the waist knife Cui Yuanyang picked for him before: "If I kill you with the dragon bird, it will pollute the sword! Come on, let me see how the children of aristocratic families compare to bandits!"
It seemed like it was going to be a farce. Why did the Cui family catch the mole and become a young man fighting fiercely? Everyone turned to look at Cui Wen Z. Cui Wen Z smiled and said: "Chang He is a person involved, so it is not an irrelevant matter. It won't take long anyway, so everyone should rest and take a look. Wen Jue, what do you say? What?"
Cui Wenjue said expressionlessly: "Since the elder brother said so, if this person dies at the hands of Yuan Teng, please don't cry."
Cui Yuanyang glanced at his uncle, then turned to look at Cui Yuanteng without saying a word.
Cui Yuanteng is at the fourth level of the Profound Passage. Brother Zhao just broke through the fourth level an hour ago... Cui Yuanteng has learned all the superb skills of the Cui family. In theory, Zhao Changhe should not be able to defeat Cui Yuanteng if he doesn't use the dragon bird. However, the way Cui Yuanyang looked at Cui Yuanteng was like looking at a dead person.
She has seen everyone's fighting prowess, and it's not at the same level. Even before Brother Zhao broke through, it probably wasn't that difficult to kill Cui Yuanteng, but now it's even more difficult to kill Cui Yuanteng.
An open space unconsciously opened up in the field. Zhao Changhe stood calmly beside the Dragon Bird Sword. Cui Yuanteng pulled out his sword with a fierce look on his face.
If it weren’t for these gangsters, what would happen this time!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He shouted loudly and took the initiative to take action!
A sword light spreads like a clear river under the moon, winding through the mountains.
"The green mountains cannot cover it, and it will flow eastward after all." An old man whispered: "Yuan Teng's sword is covered by clouds and fog, and changes in thousands of ways. Three of them have been obtained..."
I didn’t even say the last word "flavor", and my expression suddenly changed.
"Choke!" The long sword was unsheathed.
At the same time as he drew the sword, it was almost at Cui Yuanteng's forehead, as if he was sending his head there to be chopped off with his sword swing around the mountain.
"What a fast knife!"
It doesn’t matter what changes you make, or how green mountains cover green waters... I will chop them away with one knife, and even if the green mountains are blocking me, I will cut them open with one knife!
Cui Yuanteng changed his stance in an extremely embarrassed manner. With a "clang" sound, his sword was almost broken and he staggered back.
The wind was blowing loudly ahead, and people on the left and right were shouting: "Yuan Teng, be careful!"
While shouting, Cui Wenjue suddenly stepped aside and tried to rescue.
Cui Wen Z was already prepared, holding his sword in front of him with a smile: "Why is Wen Jue so frightened by this junior's joke?"
Cui Yuanteng staggered over there and looked up.
The majestic body like a **** and a devil flew down from the sky, holding a blood moon in his hand, and his eyes were like blood.
The gods and Buddhas are gone!
It's better not to look at it. After looking at it, Cui Yuanteng felt boundless fear in his heart, and his limbs were weakening. He really felt that no matter what kind of **** or Buddha he was, he could not stop such a slaughtering god. The magic sword that destroys Buddha!
A loud shout came from my ears at just the right time: "When you killed Yuan Yang, don't think about today!"
Cui Yuanteng shouted in a panic: "She's not dead either! Don't kill me!"
The whole place was silent.
Cui Wenjue’s face turned pale when he was stopped by Cui Wen?Z.
The blood moon subsided and the sword light dispersed.
The cold blade was placed on Cui Yuanteng's neck, and next to him was Zhao Changhe who was mocking with a half-smile: "Young man from a noble family, that's all. Winning against a waste like you won't even be enough for me to enter the Book of Troubled Times."
