Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1531 Distress
"Li Ji!"

Li Ji fell from mid-air suddenly, he held the person in his arms tightly, and slid back hard on the ground on his back.

Ying Baoyue could almost hear the friction between the muscles and bones on her back and the ground. As soon as the two of them stopped, she broke free from Li Ji's hand, got up and touched his back.

The clothes on Li Ji's back were all worn out, but Ying Baoyue didn't feel wet.

No... bloodshed?

"Leave me alone, I'm fine!"

Li Ji straightened her upper body and pushed her head into her arms, "As long as my head is not chopped off, I can recover, don't worry about it!"

He used his body to firmly cover Ying Baoyue's body.

At this time, she must not show her face.

"Get up, boy."

The man in black with the golden cup in his hand stood on the top of the mountain, staring at the two who had rolled down the cliff, squinting and smiling.

"Tianjie won't fall to his death just like that."

Li Ji knelt on one knee, with his back to this person, and slowly stood up.

The man in black who held the gold cup at the head just now cut him down with a single sword. There was only one person, but this person's sword was even more majestic than the combined force of the four heavenly ranks just now.

What was even more frightening was that Li Ji faintly sensed that this person hadn't done his best yet.

There was a smiling look from the man behind him.That person was like a cat playing with a mouse, every move he made with ease was testing him.

Who is this person?What do you want from him?
At this moment, Li Ji no longer doubted that this thin man in black was the real leader among the eight heavenly killers.

It's better to say that the remaining seven heavenly ranks are also afraid of this person.

"Your Excellency, who is it?"

Li Ji closed his eyes and asked word by word.

The man in black smiled, "Do you think I will tell you?"

"Anyway, Your Excellency's name must have been known to no one before this," Li Ji turned his head and stared at the man whose face was hidden under the hood on the mountain peak.

A heavenly cultivator with such means, even if he uses a pseudonym to walk in the practice world, his reputation may have already spread far and wide.

However, this person has never been heard of.

He is "a practitioner who does not exist in the world."

He and the other seven heavenly ranks should all be practitioners that cannot be found in any battle records or literature records.

Now that they are killing him with great fanfare today, it proves that the Xirong people are ready to let these "non-existent" practitioners appear in the world.

"You're right," the man in black smiled slightly, "No one really knows my first and last name."

"Although the kid hasn't advanced for a long time, he is still a heavenly rank on this continent," Li Ji said quietly, "If you are destined to die at your hands today, at least you are entitled to know the name of the person who killed you."

"That's right," said the man in black, "Heavenly rank is indeed qualified to know."

Heavenly cultivators, whether they are alive or dead, are worthy of respect.

"It's just, are you really a heavenly rank?" The man looked at Li Ji's back playfully, "A heavenly rank practitioner was born with the approval of the beast god, but have you ever met the Azure Dragon God?"

Li Ji froze and clenched the Juque sword in his hand.

He sneered, "So your Excellency thinks that the boy is not capable enough to be called a heavenly rank?"

"That's not true," the man in black spoke fluent Central Plains dialect, and he smiled, "Your ability is beyond reproach, otherwise you wouldn't have to besiege us with so many heavenly ranks."

Heavenly practitioners are a special kind of existence.If you only fight against each other, you can fight one-on-one, but if Tianjie is forced into a dead end, it can explode several times stronger than usual.

Therefore, to kill a celestial cultivator, at least two or more celestial cultivators must cooperate with each other.

Three heavenly cultivators were indeed enough to kill Li Ji, but if Li Ji wanted to blow himself up and drag the others to their deaths, it would be difficult for the other people who besieged him to retreat unscathed.

Heavenly cultivators are extremely valuable resources. In order to ensure that the Celestial cultivators in Xirong would not be lost, his master made the decision to send eight of them.

"Then why do you doubt my identity?" Li Ji sneered, "Could it be that you are the one who serves the beast god and knows the will of the beast god?"

Ying Baoyue, who buried her face in Li Ji's arms, held her breath.

The identity and appearance of Xirong State Teacher Yun Zhongjun has always been a mystery. This man in black gives people a sense of oppression that is no less oppressive than Xu Canghai and Dongfang Yi. If this person is Yun Zhongjun, it is not impossible.

"Then you're flattering me," the man in black smiled slightly, "I'm not the Son of God."

No?

Ying Baoyue choked for breath.

"But since you want to know so much, I can tell you my first and last name."

After the man in black finished speaking, another short Tianjie behind him stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder, "Brother, you..."

"No one has known the name of our family for a long time," the man in black smiled, "Why not tell him?"

Li Ji's heart tightened, he did not hear wrongly, this person is indeed a brother of another sky-rank killer.

Unlike this unscrupulous man in black, the other killer seemed to be more cautious.

The man in black was even crazier.

"Boy, remember it well," the man in black looked down at Li Ji and said with a smile on his face, "My surname is Wu Chan."

Uzen?

Li Ji was startled, he had been to Xirong before, but he had never heard of this surname.

Xi Rong is the same as Hou Liao in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The double surname represents the status of aristocrats. Those who can become noble surnames are big families. No matter how they decline, they should not be reduced to the level of only two people left.

In other words, this family was exterminated?
"Wu Chan..."

"Wu Chanxu," the man in black pronounced his name in an upbeat manner, smiling all over his face, "Remember, this is the name of the person who wants to kill you."

Wu Chanxu.

Li Ji engraved the name word by word in his heart, and stared at the person standing on the top of the mountain.

"Then, Your Excellency Wuchan, why did you kill me?"

People from Xirong, why did you kill him?
"Do we Xirong people have a reason to kill people?" Wu Chanxu chuckled, "In the eyes of you Central Plains people, don't we all be human-eating devils?"

"You Xirong people want to kill me, there is a better time," Li Ji watched him quietly, "Three years ago, the boy went deep into the hinterland of the Xirong Grassland, and he also had to meet the Xirong Heaven Rank. Not poisoned."

Ying Baoyue was startled, did Li Ji go deep into Xirong?
What did he go to Xirong for?
"Oh?" Wu Chanxu narrowed his eyes, "Have you ever been to a marsh lake?"

Marsh lake?

Could it be a lake full of swamps?

When he followed Emperor Taizu to the Great Wall, Ying Baoyue had seen this place from afar, but never got close.

"The kid doesn't know where it is, but he finally came back safely," Li Ji said lightly.

Wu Chanxu's eyes were slightly deep.

He probably knew who the person who let Li Ji go was.

"At that time, I didn't kill you because you were still alive," Wu Chanxu said with a smile. "I'm killing you now because you're dead."
