I have the face of a great demon.

When Yu Kun saw Yu Yong descend like a divine soldier from the sky, a great weight was lifted from his heart, and he sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Yu Yong rushed forward, helped him up, and asked with concern, "Second brother, how are you?"

"Brother, I can still hold on," Yu Kun said urgently. "These two guys are trying to kill me. You're here just in time. Quickly, help me kill them!"

"Don't worry, with your older brother here, I'll definitely stand up for you."

A glint of light flashed in Yu Yong's eyes.

Give me your sword.

Yu Kun handed the black sword in his hand to Yu Yong.

As soon as Yu Yong got his hands on the sword, he examined it closely as if it were a precious treasure, then burst into laughter.

"It really is it, the divine sword left behind by the immortal!"

"What? This is a divine sword left behind by an immortal?"

Yu Kun's eyes widened in astonishment. No wonder this sword was so powerful; it turned out to be a divine sword used by an immortal.

Tie Zhu listened in a daze.

"What? Brother Xingchen, this sword of yours was used by an immortal?"

Liu Xingchen was quite surprised to hear this news.

"This is the first time I've heard of this either. When I found this sword, I just felt that it was very special, but I didn't know its origin."

"I never expected it to be a divine sword used by immortals. No wonder it's so powerful."

Upon hearing this, Yu Kun burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, those two fools have had the divine sword for so long, yet they don't know it's a treasure. Brother, quickly use the divine sword to kill them."

Liu Xingchen's heart tightened, and he knew something was wrong. The divine sword couldn't unleash its power in Yu Kun's hands, but it was a different story in Yu Yong's hands. They were in danger now.

Yu Yong turned to look at Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu, and said with a smile, "Okay, leave it to me."

Yu Kun laughed even more arrogantly.

"Liu Xingchen! Zhao Tiezhu! I want to watch you two get cleaved in two by the divine sword... uh..."

Yu Kun's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped. He looked down at his chest, where a sword tip was protruding.

He turned to look at Yu Yong in disbelief: "Why...?"

Yu Yong still had a smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice.

"Second brother, go in peace. Only when you are dead can I possess this divine sword in peace."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of those two kids for you."

After saying that, he wiped Yu Kun's face with his hand and closed his eyes.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu watched in stunned silence, never expecting that Yu Yong would be so ruthless to his own younger brother just to steal the divine sword.

Tie Zhu shouted, "Yu Yong, have you gone mad? Didn't you come to save your brother? How did you end up killing him?"

Yu Yong slowly stood up, a cunning smile on his face.

"How could I kill my own brother? You were the ones who killed Yu Kunming."

what?

Liu Xingchen and Liu Xingchen then realized that Yu Yong had killed Yu Kun to frame them.

Tie Zhu was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged: "You clearly killed Yu Kunming?"

"I killed him? Who saw it?" Yu Yong's smile widened.

"As everyone knows, you two have a grudge against Yu Kun, and many people have seen you chasing after Yu Kun."

"Moreover, judging from Yu Kun's injuries, it is easy to see that he was injured by the impact of your iron mace. There are still marks on his body from the iron mace, as well as many sword marks. In the end, he was still stabbed to death by a sword."

"All the evidence points to the fact that you two killed Yu Kun."

"You..." Tie Zhu's eyes widened in anger, "You killed Yu Kun and framed us, what benefit did you get from that?"

Yu Yong said smugly, "Hehe, benefits? The benefits are huge."

At this moment, Liu Xingchen said, "He wants to run away with the divine sword, so that the two of us will attract everyone's attention and make those who are chasing the divine sword come looking for us."

"Smart!" Yu Yong clapped his hands softly.

"As expected of a genius, Liu Xingchen. That's right, all the signs indicate that you two killed Yu Kun and stole the divine sword."

"Our sect's experts will be catching up soon. Think carefully about how to explain to them where the divine sword is."

Yu Yong laughed three times, then leaped into the air, carrying the divine sword as he fled into the depths of the dense forest.

Tie Zhu was in a panic and stomped his foot to rush out to chase after Yu Yong, but Liu Xingchen grabbed him with lightning speed.

Tie Zhu's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "Brother Xingchen, why aren't we chasing after them?"

Liu Xingchen shook his head, looking confident.

"Tiezhu, if we chase after them now, we'll fall into Yu Yong's trap."

"Ah? Why?"

"Think about it, if we go after Yu Yong, and the pursuers arrive and see Yu Kun's body but not the Divine Sword, they will definitely assume that we took the Divine Sword and will come after us."

"By the time they catch up with us, who knows how much time will have passed, and by then we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Only by staying here and waiting for the pursuers to arrive, and then explaining to them on the spot, will we have a chance to make things clear."

Tie Zhu suddenly realized: "That's right, if they can't find the divine sword on us, they'll believe that someone else took it. So let's wait here."

Liu Xingchen nodded. He judged that Yu Yong and the other pursuers must have received news of Yu Kun's murder and learned that he used a mysterious black sword to kill someone. They guessed that it was a divine sword and hurriedly came out to capture him.

Now that Yu Yong has arrived, the pursuers shouldn't be far behind.

While waiting, Liu Xingchen found Yu Kun's black robe under the tree where he had been sitting, and carried it on his back along with the bundle.

Before long, a figure leaped among the tree branches, as light as a swallow, and soon arrived in front of them.

Upon seeing the person, Liu Xingchen recognized him as Cheng Qian. The two bowed in unison and said, "Senior Uncle Cheng."

Upon seeing that they were two nominal disciples, Cheng Qian said in a cold tone:

“You two are not formal disciples and have not yet formally become apprentices, so you don’t need to call me senior uncle. I am the head of the Azure Dragon Hall, you can call me Hall Master Cheng.”

"Yes, Master Cheng," Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu replied respectfully.

Cheng Qian glanced around, his gaze finally settling on Yu Kun's corpse. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened here?"

Liu Xingchen cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Hall Master, we chased Yu Kun all the way here, and the two of us joined forces to kill him."

This is precisely where Liu Xingchen's cleverness lies; he did not fall into Yu Yong's trap.

If he tells the truth that Yu Yong killed Yu Kun, it will raise suspicions. Why would Yu Yong kill his own brother for no reason?

Such a statement inevitably raises doubts about its veracity.

If he simply says that he killed Yu Kun, then it makes sense, no one will doubt his statement, and everything will be fine.

Upon hearing this explanation, Cheng Qian had no doubts. After examining Yu Kun's body, he accepted Liu Xingchen's statement.

He didn't really care who killed Yu Kun; what he cared about was the divine sword.

After searching Yu Kun's body and finding no divine sword, Cheng Qian asked in a deep voice:

"I heard that Yu Kun killed someone with a black sword. Where is the murder weapon?"
