But in the wooden house, except for Liu Ming’s own echo, there was no sound at all.
“Lian Xi! Feng’er!”
Liu Ming turned and left the wooden house. He dashed toward his own paddy field sowhat desperately, shouting loudly as he ran.
After 10 minutes, in a paddy field behind the village.
“Er Gou, why are you plowing the land in my house? Where are Lian Xi and Feng’er?” Liu Ming grabbed a thin man and yelled.
“Liu San, don’t you feel ashad asking this? You have been away from ho for 10 years. I don’t know what life you spent in the county town, but you are really ruthless to let your wife and son wait for you here with a tough life.” The thin man pushed Liu Ming away and said coldly.
“Er Gou, what do you an? Why are you plowing my land? Where are Lian Xi and Feng’er? Tell now!” Liu Ming asked anxiously.
“What what do you an, Lian Xi died 4 years ago because of overwork. And your son Liu Feng, a year ago, when the governnt recruited soldiers in the village, they took him away. Before he left, he handed this land to .” The thin man replied truthfully.
“Impossible, you must be lying to . I receive letters from Feng’er every year. He and Lian Xi are all well, how could this be? Tell , what is the purpose of you lying to ? Did you snatch my land and chase away my wife and son? Say it!.” Liu Ming stepped forward again excitedly, grabbed the thin man’s clothes, and asked angrily.
“Official Liu, Tanhua Liu, you are now a governnt official. How dare I lie to you? Everyone in the village knows about this. If you don’t believe , go and ask them yourself.” The thin man pushed Liu Ming away again, stroked his sleeves, stopped talking, turned around and picked up the tool, and continued to work.
Hearing this, Liu Ming stepped back with dull eyes, then he staggered and fell into the field.
“Impossible, this is impossible!”
After a while, Liu Ming got up and ran toward the village again.
On the way, he fell down several tis. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he didn’t care about the pain. He got up, waved his hands in despair, and continued to run forward.
A month later, on a hill outside Village Liu; in front of a barren grave, a man with tousled hair and a tattered black robe was kneeling on his knees with a crying face. He was tightly holding 2 letters in his hand. His nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, and the blood stained a corner of the letter paper.
The first letter, he found it in the only cabinet in the wooden house. It was written by his son 5 years ago.
“Father, mother has been working hard for these years and has beco ill, but she didn’t let tell you. You have been away for 5 years and have never co back to see us. Are fa and fortune really so important? Mother said that getting fa is father’s wish in this life. Even if it costs her own life, she hopes to fulfill your wish, but do you know what mother’s wish is? She just hopes that you can be with her, living a simple life for an entire life. In fact, this is Feng’er’s wish too.”
The second letter was a letter sent by the governnt. There were only a few lines of words on it. The ink was still fresh. There was an official stamp underneath at the bottom corner of the letter.
“People of the Village Liu, Liu Feng, who was 18 years old, was brave in war. When fighting the rebellion in the Dongjun, he was ambushed and died unfortunately. To comnd him for his outstanding achievents in the past year, his soldier rank is promoted and is rewarded with 50 fine silver.”
“I, Liu Ming, have been so obsessed with fa in this life. I thought that after I achieve fa, I can give my wife and son a good life and let them enjoy the endless prosperity and wealth! But I never thought that I caused my wife to die of illness and my son to die on the battlefield. How do I still have face to live in this world?”
After Liu Ming said, he looked up and cried with tears. After a while, he raised a jug of wine and drank it.
After a few mouthfuls, he smashed the wine jar to the ground, and he took out a crystal clear dagger glowing purple from his waist.
“Lian Xi, Feng’er, I’m here to accompany you 2. Wait for !” Liu Ming’s eyes were red. He raised his hand and put the dagger on his neck without hesitation.
At this mont, his hands clenching the dagger suddenly trembled, and a dazzling purple light radiated from the dagger. Liu Ming imdiately felt a coolness spreading all over his body.
In the next mont, Liu Ming trembled, and everything around him began to beco blurred.
“Bang!“
The surrounding scene shattered like a mirror...
“It’s impossible, how could it be like this! Could it be that he isn’t holding the spirit shattering dagger. Wait, the bitch bestowed a layer of the ntal recovering spell.”
Before Liu Ming had the ti to speak, the woman in palace costu said in shock and anger.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been retreated to the entrance of the hall where he had entered before. The spirit shattering dagger he held in his hand was pointing at his neck. It was only an inch from slicing through his throat.
On the surface of the dagger, there were circles of strange purple spirit patterns flashing non-stop, and the purple light emitted from it made him feel cool.
Obviously, it was these purple lights that woke him up from the illusion just now.
After Liu Ming recalled the previous words of the woman in palace costu, he understood what had happened. After taking a long breath, he took the dagger away from his neck and stared at the woman in palace costu,
“It seems that your effort is in vain. If that’s the case, give your life.”
As soon as he finished the sentence, he made a gesture to release black gas, then he walked forward again.
“If that bitch really thinks that this enchantnt will be able to hold , she would be underestimating too much! Not all puppets in this palace are interfered by this enchantnt. Well, I will let you try the puppet I created myself!” The woman in a green palace costu said with a cold snort.
A layer of red light appeared in her eyes again, and a creaking gimmick sounded on top, revealing 2 big holes. 2 black objects fell from above. There were 2 human-shaped puppet warriors.
Liu Ming’s expression changed slightly. He imdiately stopped and looked at the puppets that had just erged.
These 2 black human-shaped puppet warriors were half a foot tall. They wore a bloody ghost face mask with their eyes closed; their figure wasn’t burly; there was so strange bloody pattern on its chest. One was holding a golden broadsword; another was holding a green dagger.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned imdiately.
Didn’t the girl say that once the enchantnt is activated, all the puppets in the palace would be deactivated? Then why these 2 puppets can move?
The 2 puppets didn’t reveal any aura which confused Liu Ming about their true strength, but since they were created by the woman in palace costu herself, they must be difficult to deal with.
At this ti, the red light in the eyes of the woman suddenly turned into a bloody light. In a flash, the 2 bloody lights in the eye sockets spun slowly.
At the sa ti, the strange patterns on the chests of the 2 black puppet warriors emitted a burst of red light as if to echo with the bloody lights. The puppets stared at Liu Ming with a more dazzling bloody light.
Seeing this, Liu Ming’s pupils shrank.
But before he could think about anything, the black puppet warriors walked toward him with heavy steps, making the entire side hall to tremble slightly.
Liu Ming’s heart shuddered. This kind of montum seed to be at least Pseudo Pellet State’s strength. With a thought, the spirit shattering dagger in his hand disappeared in a flash. His figure swayed and turned into 3 phantasms.
Although this spirit shattering dagger was powerful, he didn’t sacrificial refine it after all. He could only exert less than 1/10 of its true power. Even so, with his current Condensation Period cultivation, his spiritual power would all be sucked away if he forcibly channeled this magic weapon. He of course couldn’t use it to fight.
The puppet with a green dagger appeared in front of a phantasm and stabbed swiftly.
“Bang!“
As soon as the phantasm touched the blade, it scattered into black gas.
At the sa ti, Liu Ming controlled another phantasm to face the puppet holding the broadsword while he flickered behind the puppet holding the broadsword.
As soon as his figure appeared, he made a fist, and a black tiger head phantasm faintly appeared on his fist under the surging of black gas.
The sound of a tiger’s roar ca!
The black tiger head phantasm bit and tore off the left arm of the puppet.
The broken part of the left arm bled with human blood. A strong sll of blood imdiately filled the air.
But before Liu Ming showed joy, he heard a loud bang!
In the mouth of the tiger phantasm, the arm exploded in an instant. Circles of bloody waves spread away wildly, tearing apart the tiger head phantasm.
Liu Ming, who was close at hand, felt a huge force slamming his body. He slamd into a pillar nearly, making a huge crack on the pillar.
Liu Ming took a deep breath, and he moved his body while resisting the severe pain, disappearing from the pillar.
The next mont, “poof“, a green dagger light slashed on the crack of the stone pillar.
It was a long-range attack launched by the puppet with a dagger.
TL: Facing 2 Pseudo Pellet State puppet with Condensation Period strength? Can Liu Ming win this fight?
