Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The wine has entered my heart but I am not drunk, how much sorrow and worry do I have! Everyone has to grow up and will grow up.

Murong Ruoxi's growth used to be in laughter and happiness, but now? It's in wine and sorrow.

Ancient streets and alleys, blue bricks and black tiles.

Helian Xiaoyue has a unique perspective on human nature, because he is a killer who has killed too many people. He has seen the ugliest, most evil, and most vicious human hearts in the world. What he sees the least is the goodness and beauty in the human heart, because when a person faces death, his heart will definitely not be filled with goodness and beauty.

Helian Xiaoyue looked at the drunk and crying Murong Ruoxi. There was no doubt that Murong Ruoxi had a kind and beautiful heart, but being too kind and beautiful was also a kind of disaster. How could she possibly survive in the world of martial arts?

"You stinky girl, you shouldn't be too obsessed with occasional things and people. Doing so will only cause more regrets. You should learn from your two masters. They are both free and easy people!"

Murong Ruoxi drank the wine and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Uncle Master, if I'm not strong enough, is it destined that there will be regrets between me and Idiot?"

Helian Xiaoyue was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the half-roll of clouds in the sky. After a long time, he sighed softly:

"Regret has nothing to do with strength or weakness, but with the obsession in your heart!"

"Then why are the cultivators still so obsessed with making themselves stronger?"

"Silly girl, isn't that just to get rid of the obsession in your heart?"

Murong Ruoxi turned her head and looked at Helian Xiaoyue. She didn't understand what he meant. The two people seemed to be saying the same thing, but why did Helian Xiaoyue add an obsession between regret and strength and weakness?

"Girl, if you have an obsession in your heart, make yourself stronger. If you don't have the ability to make yourself stronger, don't have an obsession in your heart, so that there will be no regrets!"

Murong Ruoxi handed Helian Xiaoyue a pot of wine and said softly:

"So, Master Uncle also has regrets in his heart?"

Helian Xiaoyue took a sip of wine and shook her head.

"That's not my regret, this may be the difference between your master and I!"

Murong Ruoxi also took a sip of wine and said softly:

"My master said that his only regret was that I didn't learn to paint well. He didn't have any obsession in his heart, so he had no regrets!"

Helian Xiaoyue did not respond. He was in deep thought, or rather, he was recalling the past. After a long time, he muttered to himself:

“Why is there a distinction between the East and the West in life?”

Helian Xiaoyue turned to look at Murong Ruoxi, a little hesitant and a little sympathetic, but finally said:

"Girl, you and that idiot may not be suitable. His heart is in the rivers and lakes, in the ends of the earth, while your heart is in Youzhou, in the home of your heart. The paths you are walking are one east and one west. Your obsession is too deep, and you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Murong Ruoxi knew it too, and drank half a pot of wine in big gulps!

"Ah, it turns out that love in the world is not determined by the heart. I really shouldn't have taken these two stinky old men as my teachers. One taught me fruitless love, and the other taught me guardian love. These are both regretful loves!"

Murong Ruoxi seemed to shed even more tears than when Qian'er was around, but unfortunately there was no one to comfort her anymore.

"Qian'er, I miss you. I can't be with you forever, so please don't leave me behind!"

Murong Ruoxi lay in Helian Xiaoyue's arms, crying loudly.

Murong Ruoxi felt really uncomfortable and sad. She traveled thousands of miles to meet Jian Ying. She saw him, but his heart was far away from her. The key was her own choice.

"Uncle Master, I want to become stronger. I don't want to distance myself from the idiot. If I do that, our hearts will become increasingly distant!"

Helian Xiaoyue gently stroked Murong Ruoxi's long hair. What could he say? He couldn't say anything because the people who were going to kill them had arrived.

The cold sun hides in the clouds and the north wind howls.

Helian Xiaoyue didn't know the two people on the roadside, but he knew that they came for Murong Ruoxi. He could feel the slight murderous intent, which was exactly the same as before he killed someone, and he could tell at a glance that the two people had a high level of cultivation.

Murong Ruoxi wiped away her tears and turned to look at the two people on the side of the road. She only recognized one of them, the one carrying the giant sword.

Xiao Yingxu once said that it was the Holy Sword Locking Prison, and the man's name was Xun Yu. He had stopped her once in Yingzhou. Hongyi Qiongyu and Luyi Muying helped her stop this man. Murong Ruoxi really didn't expect to meet Xun Yu again in Jianying Holy City.

Murong Ruoxi did not know the other person. He was a monk, and a highly accomplished monk. However, a highly accomplished monk came to kill people. His Taoism was also an evil way.

"Uncle Master, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you. Let's separate today. Help me stop this person. My life and death will be determined by fate. If you can't win, don't try to be brave again!"

After Murong Ruoxi finished speaking, she actually flew away. She didn't want to cheat Helian Xiaoyue anymore. She owed too many favors to some people and she would not be able to repay them in the future.

Of course, Murong Ruoxi knew that if she was not there, Helian Xiaoyue might not really fight, otherwise, Helian Xiaoyue’s life would really be in danger.

Helian Xiaoyue shook her head and sighed:

"Silly girl, you think too simply!"

A shocking black sword light shot up into the sky and directly stopped Murong Ruoxi who was about to leave.

Murong Ruoxi steadied herself, her face full of worry, but she was not as scared as before. What she was more worried about now was Helian Xiaoyue. If she couldn't leave, Helian Xiaoyue would fight to the death again, and that would be really fatal!

Murong Ruoxi pondered for a moment, the true energy around her body dissipated, and another kind of true energy was circulated. She used the two kinds of true energy, one black and one white, in her hands to outline a Tai Chi pattern in front of her. Then she took a step forward, and the Tai Chi pattern continued to rotate.

The monk said coldly:

"If you don't take action, she will run away!"

The demon Yu was startled when he heard this, and the sword in his hand broke through the air again. This time he used the sword to nourish his energy, but it seemed to be a step slower, and Murong Ruoxi's figure disappeared.

However, the sword energy hit the black and white Tai Chi pattern, and the black and white Tai Chi pattern shattered instantly, but there was bloodstain where the pattern disappeared.

Murong Ruoxi was hit by a sword, no, it should be said that she was hit by half a sword. The devil Yu flew away, of course to chase Murong Ruoxi. Murong Ruoxi could not run far.

The monk did not leave because Helian Xiaoyue locked him with his aura.

"The Shadow Hall has always been about killing people. When did they start saving people?"

"If monks can kill people, why can't killers save people? It is said that the Ancient Buddha Sect only practices Buddhist skills, without Buddhist principles or Buddhist hearts. It seems to be true!"

Helian Xiaoyue didn't know this monk, but he could tell that this man was from the Ancient Buddhist Sect of Yingzhou.

Neither of them took action, nor did they want to offend the other, but they both wanted to hold the other back, so the two of them just looked at each other quietly.

Although Helian Xiaoyue was worried about Murong Ruoxi, there was only so much he could do. Even if he could defeat the monk now, he would be defeated miserably and would not be able to help Murong Ruoxi afterwards.

Helian Xiaoyue thought too simply. He was seriously injured now and could not beat the monk in front of him at all, because this was the fickle master of the Ancient Buddhist Sect, who had fought with Murong Rongbo in Longmian Mountain and did not lose. How could the injured Helian Xiaoyue be able to defeat him?

The reason why Master Chang didn't take action was because he didn't want to offend the Shadow Hall, and he didn't want to be hunted down by the people of the Shadow Hall all his life.

There were two people behind the devil Yu Yu, but they were in secret, so Helian Xiaoyue didn't know. One was Brother Ye who was following him all the way and was a little drunk, and the other was Ouyang Jingde, a fat man dressed as a beggar. Both of them were only for Murong Ruoxi, Brother Ye was for the love in his heart, and Ouyang Jingde was for the beauty in his heart.

In fact, there is a third group of people, namely the people from Youzhou headed by Murong Ruoying. One of Murong Ruoying's purposes of coming to Jianying City is to kill Murong Ruoxi, because Murong Ruoxi is the Purple Cloud Goddess of Youzhou, which he cannot accept. Of course, the real purpose is to find the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring.

Murong Ruoxi has a miserable life, it seems to be destined, after all she is the former eldest lady of Youzhou!

The place where Murong Ruoxi appeared again was the nameless valley where the Ouyang Jinyu brothers had fought. She stroked her chest and suppressed the blood surging in her heart, but after taking two steps, it still gushed out.

Murong Ruoxi walked forward, paying attention to the situation behind her and drinking heavily. She only had one chance to fight with Yu Yu, and if she couldn't seize it, she would die.

"The prison gate stops the dragon!"

There was a roar outside the valley, and a wall of sword energy rising into the sky appeared out of thin air in front of Murong Ruoxi.

Murong Ruoxi's expression changed, she turned around and looked at Xun Yu who was carrying the holy sword on his shoulder. She bit her lips, condensed two palm powers, one black and one white, between her hands, flew up, and hit Xun Yu.

There is no need for Murong Ruoxi to talk nonsense, and she cannot wait!

The devil Yu smiled coldly and raised his sword to block.

Murong Ruoxi struck the Holy Sword Locking Prison with both of her palms, one black and one white. Murong Ruoxi's expression turned ruthless, and the true energy accumulated in her body was like a surging river, continuously flowing through her black and white palms to the Holy Sword Locking Prison.

The Holy Sword Prison Locking Sword must have sensed the crisis and actually made a clanging sound!

The demon Yu Yu's expression changed, and he hurriedly increased his true energy and transferred it to the Prison Lock in his hand, but this time he was half a step slow, and of course, he suffered the same fate as Murong Ruoxi.

The Temple Prison Lock and Yu flew backwards together. Yu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression changed slightly. He knelt on one knee, holding on to the prison lock to steady his body!

What about Murong Ruoxi? She was also kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily, with sadness between her brows, muttering to herself:

"Perhaps in Manghuang, I should have realized that I need to become stronger. Idiot, you shouldn't protect me. Only I can protect myself!"

The demon Yu Yu slowly stood up, without saying a word and showing any mercy, he held the sword in both hands and slashed down with one sword.

On both sides of the valley, a blood-red palm shadow and a pitch-black devil's palm attacked the terrifying sword light at the same time, trying to stop the sword energy.

It's a pity, maybe it was too hasty, it only stopped for a moment, the blood palm and the devil palm were broken, and the remaining sword energy still slashed towards Murong Ruoxi.

Murong Ruoxi gathered all the true energy in her body, her palms glowed purple as she faced the terrifying sword energy.

In the nameless valley, air waves rose into the sky and smoke and dust rolled. Murong Ruoxi was like a dead leaf, a dead leaf without any life, floating towards the wall of sword energy behind her.
