Chapter 154 Retracing the Path
Chapter 154 Retracing the Path
The sky gradually brightened, and the sounds of fighting and wailing in Li's residence gradually stopped.
Liu Yuntian stood at the gate in a daze, holding a knife.
The smell of blood filled the surrounding area and every household had their doors and windows tightly closed. No matter how loud the noise at Li's house was, no one dared to come out to check.
It was originally the working time for Yaxianglang, and there was no one pushing a manure cart around.
"Squeak-"
The door of Li's house was opened from the inside, and a man covered in blood walked out.
Standing behind Liu Yuntian, he bowed and said, "Sir, as you ordered, no one will be left alive..."
Liu Yuntian nodded slightly, "Clean it up... and the rockery in the garden... no one is allowed to get close to it."
"promise!"
After getting a response, Liu Yuntian untied the knife wrapped around his hand, and then wandered around the street like a lost soul.
This was the night when Liu Yuntian was twelve years old and he wiped out an entire family for the first time.
This left a very deep memory for Liu Yuntian.
He raised his hand, the sunlight shone through his fingers onto his face, and he murmured, "Is this a dream? Why... is it so real? It's like... I've really returned to the past."
"Are you killing people again?"
A gentle greeting came from the side. It was Qi Xue's voice, and Liu Yuntian knew it very well.
He quickly turned around and looked over, "Qi Xue...how are you?"
"What's wrong? I've always been fine!" Qi Xue approached slowly with her hands behind her back, and at the same time became puzzled by Liu Yuntian's question.
"Oh... yes, it has been three years since the family law was passed..."
Qi Xue raised her hand, grabbed a strand of hair that was hanging on her temples and twisted it between her fingers. "Who did you kill today?"
Liu Yuntian subconsciously looked down at his body and saw a faint smell of rust coming from it, which was the smell of blood.
He casually inserted the knife into the sheath, "Li family."
"The Li family? Aren't you cooperating with the Li family? Aren't they your allies?" Qi Xue asked in disbelief.
"I never need allies. I only believe in myself. The rest... are just pawns that can be used." Liu Yuntian shook his head and walked away.
At this time, Qi Xue had been brainwashed by her family's ideas.
The idea of living and dying with the family has long been deeply rooted.
Even though Qi Xue was right in front of him, he still couldn't do anything. He could only watch... watch everything happen.
Qi Xue bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a long time, and trotted after him, "Do you think the same about my Qi family?"
Liu Yuntian did not stop nor answer.
The next moment, Qi Xue hugged Liu Yuntian from behind, which made him stand there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
"I don't want you to attack the Qi family. I like you and I want you to marry me. I don't want you to become my enemy!"
This scene definitely did not happen eight years ago.
History has changed?!
Liu Yuntian slowly turned around and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Qi Xue, "You..."
Being looked at like this by Liu Yuntian, Qi Xue's face immediately turned red with shame and she quickly jumped back like a frightened rabbit.
"You heard me wrong! I...I didn't say anything!"
Liu Yuntian stood there, then as if he thought of something, he rushed over and kissed Qi Xue on the face.
Qi Xue looked at Liu Yuntian in disbelief for a long time. Tears seemed to well up in her eyes and kept rolling around in her eye sockets. Her already blushing face became even redder at this moment, as if white smoke would float up from her forehead in the next moment.
Then she said nothing and ran away, covering her face.
Liu Yuntian did not chase after her. He stood there looking at Qi Xue's back, his eyes suddenly becoming a little dazed.
"Every time I have a headache, several years will pass quickly, and I can't change history. But why can Qi Xue..."
The next moment, Liu Yuntian didn't think any more and quickly drew out a long sword from his waist, ready for battle.
Because in his memory, he was ambushed when he was walking here alone, and Qi Xue happened to come looking for him.
At that time, in order to help herself, Qi Xue, who was powerless, rushed over recklessly and almost lost her life.
But if he gave a warning, Qi Xue would definitely not abandon him and leave, and the assassins hiding in ambush on both sides would rush out immediately.
Trouble upon trouble.
In this way, by using this method to get Qi Xue away, we can concentrate on dealing with this group of assassins.
Their target is themselves, and they will save themselves the trouble if Qi Xue leaves.
At this moment, two rows of figures suddenly stood up on the eaves on both sides. Everyone was wearing very tight night clothes, with their faces covered tightly.
"Haha, come on... you bastards!"
As Liu Yuntian finished speaking, the assassins on the houses on both sides jumped down. All of them jumped down and positioned themselves in the air at the same time, hoping to kill Liu Yuntian with one blow and then retreat immediately.
But Liu Yuntian was not killed by them last time, not to mention that he still had his memories this time.
Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing was heard.
At this time, Liu Yuntian had already started practicing and had reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Although he was still among mortals, he was definitely not a threat to this group of people who had never practiced.
"Liu Yuntian!!!"
Liu Yuntian, who had already killed several assassins, was distracted by the roar and hurriedly tried to block the oncoming weapons.
I looked over in search of the sound.
Damn it! Why is she back again?!
Obviously, the shout came from Qi Xue. At that moment, she was holding a wooden stick in her hand and standing there shaking in panic.
"Damn it! It's just causing trouble for me!"
Seeing that two of the assassins around him had already split up and were rushing towards Qi Xue, Liu Yuntian cursed angrily and also rushed towards Qi Xue.
He was very fast and caught up with the assassin who was attacking Qi Xue in just two or three steps.
But at this time the assassin also raised his knife and was about to chop Qi Xue's head!
"Bastard! How dare you?!"
Liu Yuntian burst out with all his strength and flew out, swinging his arm to hit the assassin's head.
......
"Pfft!"
The sound of a knife cutting flesh was heard, and Liu Yuntian was stunned.
The person in front of him was indeed hacked to death by him, but the scene had changed at this moment, and the street where the assassination took place had disappeared.
Instead, there were flames rising into the sky all around, shouts, horns, and wailing.
The strong smell of blood and burning filled my nostrils.
"Mr. Liu! What are you doing here? My death is not a pity. If we can directly attack the palace and kill the ruler of Yu State, our Liang State will have a firm foothold in the northern border! If you die here, everything will be over for Liang State!!!"
