mother Chapter 65

Author: Naive, stupid ...

　　In the thousands of years of history, the laws and codes of Xianzhou were very complete, and there was almost no precedent for people to join public office before they reached adulthood... But Yan Qing broke this rule. After General Jingyuan found this orphan on the battlefield, he went against all odds and recruited him into the Yunqi Army. He even promoted him to the position of Xiaowei not long after.

　　The fact that there has never been a precedent of underage members joining the Cloud Cavalry is not a big deal. The key point is that this young man is only in his twenties, but he is qualified for the position of brave guard, which countless Cloud Cavalry soldiers may never be able to touch in their entire lives. How can this convince everyone?

　　Even if the person who made this choice was Jing Yuan, who was known as the "General with Closed Eyes" on the Immortal Boat and who could plan everything, some people would inevitably say that he was nepotism.

　　But the facts proved to everyone that this "closed-eye general" was not wrong this time. The dazzling brilliance he showed on the battlefield dozens of times proved that this young man not only had the ability to serve as a brave guard, but was even better than that.

　　However, although his strength far exceeds that of his peers, he still has the heart of a teenager. He is like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an indomitable momentum.

　　General Jing Yuan was often troubled by this. Of course, it was also possible that the young man himself thought that a young man of his age should be so high-spirited and energetic. Otherwise, what would it look like to close his eyes and act like an old man like his general?

　　If you keep thinking and looking ahead and behind, how can you use the sword?

Chapter 164: Yan Qing: This guy doesn't look like a good person

　　This time, the main reason why Yan Qing came out alone to hunt for the bandits hiding in the fairy boat was because his general actually had a rather laissez-faire attitude towards these dangerous guys.

　　These people are notorious among the stars, and are even wanted by the Interstellar Peace Company at a high price. How can they be good people? If they are really good people, why are they wanted?

　　Of course, he came out alone to pursue the Star Core Hunter, but it was not out of dissatisfaction or resentment. Instead, he felt that as the right-hand man of his general, he should naturally help him solve his problems.

　　Even if the general is too lazy to deal with these bandits, it doesn't matter. Yan Qing can alone catch these ignorant thieves who broke into the fairy boat Luofu.

　　The reason was simple. As the youngest Cloud Cavalry Guard of Luofu, Yan Qing was the strongest swordsman in Xianzhou Luofu. If the general had not felt that he was still inferior to the previous "Sword Master" who had been expelled from Xianzhou, it would not be difficult for him to defeat everyone else in the Xingtian Martial Arts Show and win the championship.

　　Of course, what Yan Qing is pursuing is definitely not just this. At the very least, winning the title of "Sword Champion" in the alliance is his small goal.

　　After that, he would do something great and leave his name in history. After that...well, there would be nothing else. He hadn't thought it through completely yet.

　　But no matter what, such a life plan is obviously enough for a young man. All he has to do at this stage is to keep working hard towards his goal, which is enough to surpass most ordinary people.

　　And as for what happens later...?

　　Just as Kevin thought, the reason why people are called people and can be judged to exist and be alive is because of their changeable emotions and constantly changing possibilities.

　　Who can guarantee that this young man, who is full of vigor and courage, will suddenly change his character and views due to something in the future and transform into a mature and steady swordsman?

　　It is precisely because each person's future is filled with countless possibilities and uncertainties that the collection of these individuals - civilization - will have an infinite future.

　　However, no matter how real these things seem, they are all "tomorrow's" affairs. The boy's mind is now full of thoughts about bringing those Star Core Hunter bandits to justice as soon as possible. So much so that the Star Raft under his feet seems to be able to sense the owner's intentions, and the speed is getting faster and faster as it flies low over the sea.

　　"Wait a minute, why does it seem like there is... a figure on the sea?"

　　For a qualified swordsman, vision training is naturally an indispensable part. Therefore, even though he was still thousands of meters away, Yan Qing was able to accurately capture the figure in his sight that seemed to be almost integrated with the sea surface.

　　The speed of the star ship under his feet was naturally extremely fast, and it arrived in front of the figure accurately in just a few breaths. And he himself relied on his superb body control ability and was almost not affected by the inertia of this sudden stop.

　　But compared to these details, what concerned him most was the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. You have to know that the sea level above the Scale Abyss Realm can be regarded as the exclusive territory of the Chiming Clan. Because apart from them, there are almost no people who would be bored and run on the empty sea level.

　　But the guy in front of him at this moment... Just by looking at his appearance, he knew he was definitely not a dragon descendant of the Chiming tribe. Judging from his clothes, he didn't even look like a fairy boat person. It was obvious that only those barbarians would dress like this.

　　But what is the purpose of such a barbarian coming to Linyuan Realm when he has nothing to do?

　　The most suspicious point among all this is naturally that this barbarian not only did not ride the star raft that is usually available on the fairy boat to move around, but instead simply relied on his own ability to freeze the sea surface and walk on it. How could such behavior not make people suspicious?

　　Besides, this foreigner... He did not show any reaction after Yan Qing arrived. Instead, he just closed his eyes and looked forward calmly, as if he did not notice anything. But how could he not notice such a big commotion? He must not know how to explain it, so he pretended that he did not notice anything.

　　Who does he think he is? Can he fall asleep while standing like the general?

　　Wait a moment!

　　Could it be that... the reason why this guy didn't take the Star Raft was because he knew that the Star Raft must be equipped with information collection and positioning devices to prevent accidents. This person was afraid that his actions would be discovered by the Immortal Boat, so he took this desperate measure and crossed the Scale Abyss Realm in human form to prevent any accidents?

　　After all, it doesn't take much thinking to know that how can a person run as fast as a star raft? You can't say that you came here on purpose to see the scenery, right?

　　Now that he has made up his mind, Yan Qing, who is clear-headed in swordsmanship, will not hesitate any longer - as for those guys whose behavior is suspicious and may very likely affect the safety of the fairy boat, they must be captured first at this critical juncture.

　　Of course, he would not rashly harm their names. The right and wrong were up to the generals and the Ten Kings to decide, and he just arrested all these suspicious guys.

　　After all, at this critical moment, Luofu had already issued a blockade order for all irrelevant people to go to the safe zone as soon as possible. At this time, he suddenly encountered such a suspicious person, how could he really let him go?

　　"Sword light splits, go!"

　　As Yan Qing swung his sword finger towards the air, the sword box in the box behind him opened, and then several sword lights suddenly flew out from it. In almost an instant, it turned into a cage and imprisoned the suspicious figure inside.

　　The sword can be used as you wish, and it can be used for more than just attacking. With a slight change of thinking, it can be turned into an indestructible cage, completely imprisoning the enemy.

　　Of course, Yan Qing's original intention in developing this move was not to imprison people. In fact, he just wanted to trap the opponent first and buy some time for himself to charge up his big move.

　　But even after that, that person still had his eyes slightly closed and looked very indifferent, which inevitably made the arrogant Yan Qing quite unhappy.

　　"How can you ignore me? How rude."

　　"Hey, you bastard. Where did you come from? What's your purpose in walking near the Scale Abyss at this time? Tell the truth now!"

Chapter 165: Unfortunately... Too Hard to Break

　　Just as the girl who called herself Liuguang Yiting said, her existence was completely a meme that relied on the memories of others. Theoretically speaking, she was not a real thing, and she was not even a "living thing" in the conventional sense of most people.

　　Even in Kevin's opinion, these rememberers are just a collection of memories in a sense...can they really be considered to exist in reality?

　　Of course, Kevin was not qualified to laugh at the existence forms chosen by others. After all, wasn't he also determined to carry out the "Stigmata Plan" and stubbornly believed that this was the only way out for mankind?

　　However, since the other party's form is completely a memory, if Kevin wants to communicate with him, there is actually no need to match the tone and body movements in reality. As long as he can accurately control his consciousness, the external movements of the body are completely redundant.

　　Obviously, even though he was above the boundless sea where there was almost no possibility of human habitation, Kevin had no habit of waving his hands in the air.

　　Facts also proved how correct Kevin's choice was - because just when he walked out of the memory space constructed by the girl, which was quite similar to the stigmata space, Yan Qing's still tender face suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he himself was controlled in the cage condensed by sword energy.

　　Who said that there would be no one to meet in the endless sea? He had only closed his eyes for a few minutes, but he was almost chopped by a sword.

　　"Oh, you finally opened your eyes. I shouted at you for so long before you even responded... You, could it be that you really fell asleep standing here?"

　　Although this situation is incredible, given the precedent set by the General, it does not seem completely impossible, right?

　　"Well, that is... I think he doesn't seem to have much hostility at all, so I didn't remind you... But don't worry! I am only relying on your memory now, and he can't see me."

　　The girl, who was only floating in Kevin's sight, scratched her head awkwardly, and then quickly asked tirelessly: "So you agree to exchange memories with me? While pursuing your memories, you can not only review what you experienced in the past, but also hone yourself by revisiting past battles. Isn't it wonderful?"

　　"...."

　　It's noisy enough having an Alicia next to him, and now there's another guy like this. To what extent does his spirit need to be tempered before he gives up?

　　"It would be best if you could just shut up for a while."

　　Kevin couldn't help himself after all, and whispered these helpless words softly, so that Yan Qing in front of him caught them very accurately.

　　"What, who are you talking to? There are no friends of yours here?"

　　This strange scene made Yan Qing frown immediately. But he looked around for a long time and didn't find anything else unusual. This place was so empty, where could anyone hide?

　　"I'm warning you, don't try to play any tricks."

　　Yan Qing quickly determined that the guy in front of him was talking nonsense, so he made up his mind and said, "I am Yan Qing, a brave guard of the Cloud Cavalry Army. Why on earth would you appear near the Scaled Abyss Realm at this time, and what shameful things are you planning to do?"

　　"Could it be... that you are colluding with those star core hunters and are planning to take them with you to covet Jianmu!"

　　Yan Qing thought about it and it seemed that only the Star Core Hunter was currently near the Scale Abyss Realm. So when he thought of this, he raised his sword without hesitation and pointed it directly at Kevin in front of him.

　　"The situation is urgent. I don't have time to waste here with you. Don't even think about stalling for your accomplices!"

　　"After I capture you, I will capture those star core hunters. It won't take me much time... Look at the sword!"

　　As the last sentence fell, several sword lights instantly shot out from behind Yan Qing, and in a moment they flew towards Kevin's limbs. After making him completely incapable of movement, of course, he could take this guy with him to the Scale Abyss Realm, and capture people from both front and back.

　　Since they came from the same source, the sword energy that was blocking Kevin's body would naturally not cause any obstacles to him. These sword lights passed through the cage unimpeded and flew in front of Kevin in the blink of an eye.

　　Bang--!

　　However, with several crisp sounds, the sword lights that were supposed to be extremely sharp shattered into pieces like thin ice falling to the ground before they touched Kevin's body. The one in the middle was even grasped in Kevin's outstretched hand.

　　"The meaning of being enterprising is very consistent with the spirit of youth. It's a pity... too much steel will break easily."

　　Bang--!

　　The remaining sword light was crushed by Kevin without any surprise. Since it was a sword intent, its most fundamental characteristic was that it could allow others to feel the extremely condensed will within it.

　　If someone has a weak will, they will probably be hurt by the will in it just by looking at it. Unfortunately, for Kevin, this level of will is obviously not enough.

　　Even compared to the star core hunter's desire to die not long ago, it is still insufficient.

　　But then again, this is exactly what this high-spirited young man wants.

　　"You...what's wrong with you? Why are you talking the same as that witch?"

　　Even when the old general said that he still had some shortcomings, he meant almost the same thing... But he just felt that when wielding the sword, he should move forward without hesitation. What could be wrong with such an idea?

　　But Yan Qing was not a fool after all. Just from the fact that the other party could easily take on his sword lights, he should have known that he was probably no match for him.

　　This is really strange... He is obviously the strongest swordsman in Xianzhou Luofu, but why is it that when he goes out in recent days, he encounters monsters that are much stronger than him?

　　Is Xianzhou really going to be in trouble, or is it because he forgot to ask the old lady Taibu to tell his fortune before he went out? !

　　"Although I am not a pure swordsman, I do have some experience in similar areas...You have good talent. But the universe is so vast that there is no shortage of people with outstanding talents."

　　"What I want to tell you is that in this world, everything is never determined by nature... and nothing can be accomplished by just willpower and passion."

　　----Bang!

Chapter 166: Even though it's a class, it's no joke

　　Along with an unusually crisp sound, the sword standing in front of Kevin was crushed by a kick without any suspense... It looked as easy as breaking a branch on the roadside?

　　Kevin had certainly seen many young men like Yanqing who were full of vigor and vitality. For a young man, being so high-spirited and outspoken was not a bad thing.

　　But now that they have made the decision to step onto the battlefield and completely come into contact with this cruel and real world, the best thing for them is to allow them to fully realize their own shortcomings.

　　After all, he had only been in Xianzhou for two days, so Kevin didn't know Yan Qing's background and reputation in the Cloud Cavalry. But this didn't stop him from teaching this obviously young boy a lesson.

　　Kevin, who had been an instructor in the Fire Moths for many years, had quite a bit of experience in this area.

　　Having ambition is a good thing, but one should also have a clear understanding of oneself, and more importantly, the cruelty of this world - just like Kosmo back then, the kid even planned to jump into the center of the storm wearing a set of pots and pans. If he were on the battlefield, what else could he not do?

　　Although the starting point and environment were different, Kevin had no doubt that the boy in front of him could do almost the same thing.

　　"Damn it... Don't think I'll be scared of you just because of this!"

　　The actual situation was probably not much different from what Kevin had thought. After all, in this situation where there was no need to fight, and Yan Qing realized that he was unlikely to defeat the opponent, he could just get on the Star Raft and leave. Calling for reinforcements or finding another way would be a good solution.

　　But Yan Qing's unwillingness to admit defeat made him choose the stupidest option without hesitation - that is, to reveal all his cards to the other party without reservation.

　　If Kevin is really an enemy of the Immortal Boat, then it is hard to say whether he can return safely on this trip.

　　So, even if Kevin's teaching was a little too harsh, there would be no way to reason with him even if Luofu's general came, right?

　　"Hmph, here comes the sword!"

　　Yan Qing casually grasped the sword in the air, and a blue long sword in the sword box fell into his hand very accurately with the sound of calling. In other aspects, he might still be inadequate due to his young age, but in the way of flying a sword, Yan Qing was absolutely unmatched!

　　Swish——!

　　Yan Qing suddenly swung the sword and pointed it at Kevin. At the same time, several sword blades made of frost condensed behind him. Compared with pure sword energy, these condensed frost blades were actually more aggressive.

　　Besides, he was certainly much stronger with the sword in hand. After all... how could he control the sword without a sword in his hand?

　　"go!"

　　As Yan Qing finished his words, the frost blades drew a graceful arc in the air, and then quickly rushed towards Kevin at different tricky angles.

　　Of course, he himself was not idle either, he picked up the sword and jumped down from the Star Raft. Yan Qing coordinated with the Frost Blade he controlled, and directly swung the long sword in his hand to chop at Kevin's front door, which seemed to have almost no defense.

　　Since we already know that the opponent is most likely much stronger than us, we naturally have to go all out from the start. Otherwise, how can we get even a slight chance of winning?

　　Yan Qing's ideas have always been so simple and crude, and he has always felt that this is quite practical.

　　It's a pity that this time, he hit a complete wall.

　　"Why are all the people on the Immortal Boat so good at using weapons... It always makes me feel like my hands are empty and something is missing."

　　Kevin had indeed learned a lot of martial arts, but using these things to fight the Honkai Beast was obviously an unwise choice - so even before he had the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Kevin would basically use various weapons to make up for the inherent deficiencies of humans.

　　Fighting with bare hands is actually a very uncomfortable experience for him... After all, when facing ordinary enemies, he can use ice to destroy them without even making contact; and when facing a st
