Hidden Blade

Chapter 21 Alarming Change

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Han, who was already prepared to leave, was stunned. He turned to look at Canghai and asked subconsciously, "What did you say?"

At that time, Canghai Liu also turned around and looked at Xu Han. He did not intend to repeat his words again. Instead, he said, "Follow me and you just want to live. If that brat obediently brought me back last night, Gui Subhuti will give me this face."

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned again. Only then did he remember that the Vastsea Stream had left behind a life of the Great Asura yesterday. Only now did he know that it was to avoid the Dark Asura Hall 's pursuit of him.

At that moment, a melancholy that he said was not true appeared in Xu Han's heart.

Indeed, just as Canghai Liu had said, Xu Han had followed him in order to save his life.

But in these short days, Xu Han had already gotten used to the mockery on the surface of the ocean currents and secretly offered to help. She was also accustomed to sleeping with Xuan'er every day, bringing her with her to buy some dolls that she liked and eat some food that she liked.

Such a day could not be said to be very happy, but it was an experience that Xu Han had never experienced after 16 years of wandering.

Therefore, when Canghai Liu said those words, Xu Han was stunned. He was unable to say a word for a long time.

"Miao!" Xuan'er had also changed her attitude towards Xu Han these past few days. She suddenly jumped and landed between the two of them. She let out a dissatisfied roar to show her opposition to Canghai Liuliu's decision.

At this moment, Xu Han suddenly woke up. He looked at the black cat beneath his feet and his eyes lit up. He picked it up and said, "What should I do if I leave Xuan'er? The demonic power in its body isn't able to cure the symptoms. Do you want it to be like this for the rest of its life?"

Xu Han had figured out the situation in Xuan'er's body. Just as he said, Canghai Liu suppressed the demonic power of the black cat every day, but it could only temporarily alleviate its pain, but it was unable to cure it. Only by using the Asura Technique would he be able to treat the demonic power in the black cat's body.

"Miao!" At that time, the black cat called out to Canghai Liuliu again, agreeing with Xu Han's words.

However, Canghai Liu didn't care about this. He looked up at this person and cat lightly and calmly replied, "Don't you understand me? I said I want to walk the back road alone!"

Canghai Liu bit the accent on the three words "one person", allowing Xu Han to immediately understand his meaning.

"What about Xuan'er? You don't want him anymore?" Xu Han asked doubtfully. If Canghai Liuliu chased him away, he would still understand. However, Guan Canghai Liuliu's doting attitude towards the black cat made him puzzled.

"Isn't there still you? You can cure its illness. If you don't bring it, who will?" Canghai Liuliu asked, his attitude exceptionally vicious. But when he said this, he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something. He reached out his hand and groped in his arms for a while. After a while, he took out a yellowed book and threw it into Xu Han's arms.

"The Asura Technique is not the right path. Especially after absorbing Xuan'er's demonic power, the faster your cultivation progresses, the greater the hidden dangers in your body. Although this [Clear Jade Breathing] technique cannot completely cure the hidden dangers caused to your body by the Asura Technique, after absorbing the demonic power every day, it can relieve the abnormal state of your body for at least half an hour."

"Help me treat Xuan'er's thank you gift." After saying that, Canghai Liu let out a long sigh of relief as if he had finished explaining all the aftermath. Afterwards, he straightened his body again, as if he had returned to being the great villain who looked down on the world and was enraged by everyone.

"All the banquets in the world are over. Take care of yourselves." As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and the long sword wrapped in cloth on Xu Han's back flew into Canghai Liu's hand.

Then, the old man turned around and walked forward.

This parting was too sudden, not only for Xu Han but also for the black cat.

One man and one cat watched the old man leave for a long time before they regained their senses.

The instant he regained his senses, a man and a cat exchanged glances and almost at the same time, they chased after him in the direction of the ocean currents.

Obviously, none of them could accept such a hasty farewell.

At the very least, they need an acceptable reason.

Canghai Liuliu didn't walk very fast, or perhaps the injuries in his body weren't as simple as he showed. Xu Han and Xuan'er only took half an hour to catch up to Canghai Liuliu who was walking alone on the path.

"Before" Xu Han opened his mouth and shouted at that time, but halfway through his words, Canghai Liuliu suddenly turned around.

Then.

At that moment, a cold light passed by Xu Han's face. Under the cold light, the strands of hair on his forehead were cut off and swayed to the ground.

This sudden attack caused Xu Hansheng to be stunned, and he swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.

"Miao!" The black cat was also intimidated by Canghai Liu's actions. It let out a low roar and looked at the old man in front of it with a puzzled gaze.

It had never seen such an ocean current before.

"I told you before. I want to walk alone on the next path! Don't you think that my name, Vastsea Current, which has dominated the world for dozens of years, has come in vain?" Canghai Liu said in a low voice. At that time, the scarlet sword was also stretched out by him and pressed against Xu Han's neck.

Looking at the murderous aura in front of him, he felt the cold sensation coming from his neck. Xu Han's eyes were filled with puzzlement and confusion. He couldn't understand why the old man who had saved him yesterday was acting like a different person now.

Xuan'er also smelled the solemn atmosphere on the stage. She came to Canghai Liu's feet and gritted his trousers with her teeth, trying to pull the two of them away from each other.

Canghai Liu lowered his head to look at the black cat that he had always loved incomparably. Light flowed in his eyes, but in the end, it turned into a harsh expression.

"Fuck off!" He let out a loud shout and suddenly raised his foot. At that time, the black cat was kicked several zhang away by the ocean currents.

"Xuan'er!" Seeing this, Xu Han exclaimed. Canghai Liu's kick was so heavy that it forced the black cat to roll around the woods beside the path for a few times before it released its strength. The black cat did not expect Canghai Liu to do this to it. It stood up again and let out a low roar of grievance. Its gaze towards Canghai Liu was also filled with confusion.

"Humph! Tian Nuo!" Canghai Liu coldly glanced at this person and cat, then withdrew his sword, turned around again, and walked into the distance without turning his head.

"Don't let me see you again. I hate burdens." At that moment, his cold voice came from afar and fell into Xu Han's ears.

Xu Han hugged the frightened Xuan'er and stared blankly at Canghai Liuliu's body gradually walking away. Finally, he disappeared into the distant path. He remained silent for a long time, but in the end, he did not have the courage to chase after her again.

…

Night fell.

Xu Han brought Xuan'er to rest beside a small hill.

As usual, he helped Xuan'er absorb the restless demonic energy in its body, and then used the Asura Technique to neutralize the demonic energy.

After doing all this, he was sweating profusely and exhausted.

The demonic energy in the black cat's body was extremely helpful to Xu Han's cultivation. Only then did he break through to the Arhat Heavenly Realm. He felt his realm loosen again. If this continued, he would be able to break through to the Arhat Heavenly Realm in a few months.

In the past, such progress was enough to make him happy for a long time. However, Xu Han, who was sitting beside the fire, could not arouse any interest, and Xuan'er was obviously the same.

It lay beside the fire, its pair of amber eyes staring straight at the leaping campfire. Occasionally, it would let out a long roar, like a child sobbing.

Xu Han turned to look at the listless Xuan'er and sighed. He reached out and touched Xuan'er's head to comfort her. Then he groped in his arms and took out the yellowed pamphlet that Vastsea Current had tossed him today.

"Qingyu Tu Na." He muttered the four big words on the title page of the booklet in a soft voice, but he couldn't bring himself to look at the contents of the booklet.

Escaping from Dark Asura Hall, meeting with Vastsea Stream and treating the black cat, what happened in less than a month flashed in Xu Han's mind like a streak of light. If Xuan'er hadn't really been lying beside him at this moment, he would have even felt that all of this was an absurd dream.

However, this dream had truly happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Han was somewhat irritated. He stuffed the booklet back into his embrace.

She rested her head on her arms and even lay down beside the fire with Xuan'er.

"What kind of person do you think he is?" Xu Han asked.

"Miao." Xuan'er replied.

Xu Han naturally couldn't understand his cat language, but he couldn't help but feel that his actions were somewhat ridiculous.

What kind of person is Canghai Liu? What does he have to do with me?

He said this from the bottom of his heart, turned around, and looked up at the horizon.

Perhaps he was such a moody person.

Otherwise, how could he have such a fierce reputation that the entire Great Zhou's Jianghu would scold him?

How could there be enemies everywhere, scattered all over the country?

Huh?

Thinking of this, Xu Han's brows furrowed.

Enemies?

As if he had found the crux of the matter, he suddenly sat up.

Xuan'er, who had already closed her eyes, was also woken up by Xu Han's sudden action. She raised her head and looked at Xu Han doubtfully. She let out a soft call, as if she was asking Xu Han what was the meaning of this action?

Sitting up, Xu Han was stunned for a full ten breaths of time. Then, his pupils suddenly dilated, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying. A shocked expression appeared on his forehead.

He said as he stood up.

"Not good, Senior Cang is in danger!!!"
