I Can't Be Sword God

211 Why are you so skilled?

“I’ve found my true love this time.”

Wang longqi’s opening remarks were very familiar.

“Oh.”

Li Chu’s reaction was the same as usual.

Even though he was holding back his tears through the iron window, Wang longqi was greatly relieved when he saw Li Chu’s face.

He suddenly glanced at Li Chu and smiled. “By the way, didn’t you say you weren’t coming to the Huadu Festival? He looked as if he was no longer interested in vulgar interests, but in the end, he still couldn’t help it. How is it, have you found a courtesan?”

Li Chu couldn’t help but admire his big heart. He only said lightly, ” “I’m here for another purpose, so tell me about your matter first, Yingluo.”

“Oh,” Wang longqi pouted and continued, ”

“After I said goodbye to you, I went all the way north to this place. I took a ride with a giant beast team, so I came very quickly.”

I originally came to shenluo city to relax and live a life where the sun is high in the sky the moment I open my eyes.

“Who knew I would meet my true love here, Yingluo”

“She’s called LAN Zhi. She’s the daughter of a small family in the south of the city,”

although she’s not the most beautiful, she has the clearest eyes I’ve ever seen.

“She’s so innocent. We’ve known each other for three and a half days before she agreed to spend the night with me.”

“?”

A few question marks appeared on Li Chu’s forehead, but he did not interrupt him.

that night, the moon was on the willow branch, and we had an appointment at dusk.

Wang longqi’s gaze became distant as he recalled the scene.

“At that time, we were strolling along the river of Luo city. The lights were bright in the distance, and there was Starlight above our heads. She said she had something to tell me. I was waiting, but before I could hear what she said, she was gone the moment I turned my head!”

“He just disappeared into thin air!”

“Other than being captured by the evil, I can’t think of any other reason,” Wang longqi said,”I’ve been looking for her for the whole night, but I can’t find her.” I went back to the inn and asked someone to look for it with me, but there was still no result. In the end, after dawn, her family came to her door and said that I was the one who harmed her, so they took me in.”

“Li Chu, you know me.”

“I’ve never done such a thing!”

but I was the only one present at that time. If I couldn’t find her, I would definitely be the one to blame. “The people of Chaotian que didn’t believe me,” Wang longqi said in a deep voice.”I don’t know if they’ve investigated it carefully. That’s why I wanted to quickly invite a xiuzhe of my own to help me find LAN Zhi’s whereabouts. I didn’t think that I would invite you over so quickly, you’re really lucky.”

“Tell me the exact location you were at that time,” Li Chu said.”I’ll go and take a look.” At the very least, we need to find evidence of the evil’s presence so that we can keep you alive.”

Wang longqi’s face became nervous. it doesn’t matter if you can save me or not. It doesn’t matter if I’m punished. However, Xuanji lanzhi’s life and death are unknown. Can you try your best to save her? I’ve been worried about her safety, Yingluo.”

Li Chu looked at him deeply and nodded. “I’ll try my best.”

Wang longqi let out a long sigh of relief as he watched the Taoist leave the prison. He muttered, ” “Li Chu, please protect lanzhi. Please don’t let anything happen to you.”

......

Soon, Li Chu arrived at the meeting place that Wang longqi had mentioned.

The Luo city River was a branch of the Luo River and flowed through the southwest part of the city. The opposite bank faced a decorated archway, so it was not difficult to confirm.

He first scanned his surroundings with his heart and mind.

Usually, no matter if it was a xiuzhe or a monster, when they used their divine arts, they would always reveal their own aura. If it was a little thicker, it was possible that it would stay in place for a day or two.

After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head.

There was not a single trace.

However, he was not too disappointed.

If it could be discovered so easily, the people of Chaotian que would have found out long ago before he had even arrived.

Li Chu began to walk along the river, imagining the situation at that time.

Although the weather was cold, it was not to the extent of freezing the Luo Cheng River. The river water was still flowing slowly.

Although there were many complicated magical powers in the world, it was not easy to make a person disappear into thin air without a trace in an instant.

It would be too crude to grab him directly with the wind. No matter how slow Wang longqi’s reaction was, he should have sensed it. It was too mysterious to capture people from a distance and teleport them over. Probably only the Almighty had such a method.

Although this possibility couldn’t be ruled out for the time being.

But there was another possibility. The person didn’t go far, but existed in a state that Wang longqi couldn’t see.

Li Chu thought of the five Element escape technique that Chen Huaiji was proficient in.

It could almost silently enter any object in an instant ... Of course, except for miss Liu’s heart.

Among the escape techniques, if one were to use the earth escape technique to bring someone along, even if it was successful, there would be faint traces left on the ground. As for water escape, it was much more concealed. Looking from the shore, there would only be a faint ripple that would disappear after a while.

Li Chu turned his gaze to the river.

He closed his eyes once more and used his heart’s eye.

He found a ball of dense Yin Qi upstream, which was almost the same as the water ghost in the black water River that day, but it was not as contaminated with resentment.

It seemed that he was an honest water ghost who relied on his own cultivation to slowly advance.

Perhaps he could witness the ghost.

Li Chu jumped into the water, and the water repelling Pearl separated the waves.

Puchi.

...

Gulp, gulp.

Ji Ji.

The sound of water could be heard.

Li Chu’s figure moved quickly through the river and quickly approached the ball of Yin Qi.

The yin Qi noticed his approach and also floated up slightly from the bottom of the water.

It was a water ghost with old features and tattered clothes. Although its body was just a thin shadow, it was much clearer than the water ghost in the black water River. Such an honest water ghost would have a higher chance of becoming a river god.

The honest water ghost seemed a little surprised to see Li Chu in front of it. It only looked at him warily and did not make a sound.

As an honest water ghost, it might not have seen many strangers in its life, so it was inevitable that it would be alert.

“Sorry to trouble you,” Li Chu said,”my friend had an accident on the shore in the middle of the night. A lady was suddenly captured. I suspect that the murderer escaped through the water. So I would like to ask, you’ve been cultivating in this River, have you seen anything?”

“No, no, I didn’t,”

The water ghost replied impatiently. Its face was blurry, but it was obvious that it was displeased.

...

He didn’t know if it was because it wasn’t used to talking to humans, or if it had some fear in its heart.

However, Li Chu did not have the time to be polite with it.

He drew out the pure yang sword.

The water ghost was startled.

Before it could speak.

Li Chu’s sword had already slashed down.

Of course, the sword was not aimed at the water ghost, but at the stream of water behind it.

Boom–

It was not the first time Li Chu had broken a River with a single sword.

What was different from that time was that his spiritual power was stronger this time, so the area he opened up was wider. And with the special effect of the pure yang sword, many of the river water did not rise to form a water wall before it was evaporated by the sword Qi.

All in all, in an instant, a wide ravine suddenly appeared in the middle of the cold Luo River. The Crimson light was dazzling, the heat waves were surging, and the faint roar of a Dragon could be heard.

The water ghost-like body was suddenly exposed to the air, appearing extremely thin and shriveled.

Li Chu finally saw its face.

If one could see any expression from his already deformed facial features, it would be that he was dumbfounded.

He was extremely confused.

Of course, it had a reason to be confused.

I’m a water ghost, why am I suddenly under the sun?

There was an inexplicable feeling of certainty.

And,

One sword to break the river, this kind of operation ...

Why are you so skilled?

It looked at Li Chu again, and its emotions were not right.

this is very important, ” Li Chu said politely. so, please try to recall if you saw any cultivators or evil spirits passing by on the night of the crime.

He didn’t like to use threats to communicate with ghosts, but it was necessary to use some extraordinary means in times of crisis.

According to Chaotian que’s understanding, Wang longqi was more likely to commit a crime, so he might have just casually investigated and went over without any evil aura. Even if he had guessed the possibility of the escape technique, he might not have spent so much effort to ask the water ghost. Even if he asked, perhaps it would just answer him.

All in all, Wang longqi could only rely on him. He had to get something this time.

He couldn’t be soft-hearted at this time.

“En, Yingluo.”

The water ghost finally understood its situation.

Even though the other party had asked very politely.

But could he not answer?

Obviously not.

“I can tell you, but you must not tell anyone,” it said. The person who did that, Lao Ai, controls all the ghosts in our shenluo city. If they find out, I’ll be dead.”

“Just tell me who it is.” Li Chu said indifferently.

Shui GUI gritted his teeth and answered,”a descendant of the yin clan.”
