2.

Han Jiangliu was actually quite depressed in his heart.

Just like Yun Mengze said, the main purpose of his coming to Sanchonglou this time was to kill Lin Xiao, as for whether the ghost envoy of the Soul Chasing Pavilion who came out halfway to make ghosts was dead or alive, he didn't care at all. So at the moment when he sacrificed the "invisibility talisman", he really wanted to take advantage of the stealth time of this incense stick to go around Lin Xiao's back/assassination.

But what the idea is is one thing, the reality is another. Just after Han Jiangliu became invisible, he was about to go around to Lin Xiao's secret attack, but he found that the young swordsman beside him was snorting melon seeds while locking his eyes tightly on him. At first, Han Jiangliu thought it was just a coincidence, but when he looked at it after walking a few steps, he found that Changfeng's gaze was still on him, as if he could see him through the invisibility prohibition.

Han Jiangliu felt a little panicked at this moment, he walked back and forth twice without believing evil, and always paid attention to Changfeng's movements, and then he was horrified to find that he was so swaying one step left and right, Changfeng's eyes were locked on him from beginning to end, without the slightest deviation.

If this can see through the prohibition is someone else, it would be fine, but it is the sword attendant next to the sect master of the Ethereal City. Han Jiangliu, the name of "Changfeng", has also heard of it in the Quadruple Building - I heard that he fought against the people of Penglai with the "sword idiot" Ye Wuxin in the extreme western wasteland, and only used one move to defeat the new genius of Penglai, and fought against the "Heaven and Earth Three Talent Array" led by Yuxizi, the head of Penglai, with the power of one person.

In the four-story building, most of the sect masters and heads of the sect always bring a group of guards with them when they go in and out of large occasions, and the pomp and circumstance are like royal nobles. And Ye Wuxin was the only guard by his side from beginning to end, not only her, but also the two sect masters in front of her: Lin Xiao and the "Sword God" Xia Yang;

Such a person can't be provoked, Han Jiangliu didn't even need to weigh the pros and cons, so he directly chose to give up the original decision and put the target back on Yun Mengze. Since assassination doesn't work, it's better to defeat this ghost envoy in a dignified manner, and then use the previous agreement to take Lin Xiao's life.

The action time of the "invisibility talisman" is a stick of incense, which is converted to the current time of about fifteen minutes to half an hour, but in order to keep the stealth effect for a whole stick of incense, there is a premise - you can't use the true qi, once the true qi on the body flows, this layer of stealth prohibition will be broken, and if Han Jiangliu wants to make a move, it will inevitably urge the internal force on the body, so that the moment he makes a move, his figure will be revealed.

Although Lin Xiao has a long wind and is not afraid of being attacked by the cold river stream, he also pays attention to the movements in the four places. While talking to Yun Mengze, he hid a hand behind him, twisted the spell, and secretly cast a spell to spread the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique" and detect the surrounding true qi fluctuations. So the moment Han Jiangliu showed his true body, he reminded Yun Mengze in time.

But what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that although he had already reminded him in time, Yun Mengze didn't seem to react for a while, or maybe he had just relaxed, and he was stunned for a few seconds after hearing his reminder, and then turned around. And just as he turned around, Han Jiangliu had already rushed forward, and when he waved his palm, he slashed in front of him.

Yun Mengze stepped away from the "shadow-like step", and a dodge shook to the side of Han Jiangliu, which could avoid this palm. But Han Jiangliu's palm had not yet made him old, and he immediately swept out his horizontal arm, and with a move of "swinging his breath back to the intestines", he bolted his ribs; Yun Mengze was caught off guard, and was swept by his arm, and the whole person took three steps back, only to feel a feeling of soreness and pain spreading from his ribs, making him unable to straighten his back for a while.

Han Jiangliu smiled and said, "Bastard, I'll see where you can hide this time!" After finishing speaking, he raised the iron pipa with both hands and smashed it on his head. Yun Mengze tried his best to take a step backwards, but as soon as he stepped steadily, the sore feeling under his ribs went straight to the bones, and half of his body's strength seemed to be drained, which instantly made him in a trance. When he came back to his senses, the iron lute of the cold river had already swung above his head again.

Yun Mengze's evasion was unavoidable, so he had to raise his knife and raise his sword to block the iron pipa that was pressed down on the spot. But his arm strength is far inferior to Hanjiangliu, and the weight of this long knife is far lighter than that of the iron pipa, the two blades touched in mid-air, and only a "ping" sound was heard, and the long knife in Yun Mengze's hand was directly broken into two. Han Jiangliu's move was castrated, and Tie Pipa continued to press down, smashing the opponent's raised arm together.

With a "click", Yun Mengze's arm bone was directly broken. Han Jiangliu was afraid that the other party would come up with any other tricks, so he immediately stepped forward to make up for another move, and the iron pipa danced in the wind, and a move "Ice Spring is cold" hit Yun Mengze's chest. This swing was a huge force of the broken stele and cracking the stone, Yun Mengze was directly slapped off the ground by the iron pipa, his body was like a kite with a broken string, and he flew straight out, and his back hit the door of the row of rooms on the west side, and even the door latch was broken, and the whole person rolled straight into it with the open door, raising a puff of dust in the room covered with dirt.

Lin Xiao saw that Yun Mengze didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and stood up from the seat with a "Teng", a layer of black and red aura surged in his palm, and with a "Zheng" sound, a sword aura flashed in the patio, and the Biluo Sword was already held in his hand.

Han Jiangliu slapped Yun Mengze away with one move, turned around, and just saw Lin Xiao standing up with his sword, and couldn't help but sneer: "What's the matter?

Lin Xiaosenran said: "You still think about yourself, you hurt the life of the ghost envoy of the Soul Chasing Pavilion, do you really think that the guys who cultivate the ghost path in the first building are easy to provoke - if this matter is stabbed to the master of the Soul Chasing Pavilion, your black yarn will be in trouble!"

Han Jiangliu smiled and said: "Even if you want to be held responsible, then you should be held accountable first, you gambled with me with his life, who can be blamed if you lose?!, but I don't think the people of the Soul Chasing Pavilion have a chance to settle accounts with you, because you are going to die now." ”

Lin Xiao didn't laugh angrily: "You have said this sentence no less than ten times since you entered the door tonight, but aren't I still standing here in a dignified manner? Let's continue to make a bet, just bet - can you kill me tonight!"

Han Jiangliu's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water: "Boy, why are you so confident?!"

Lin Xiao smiled coldly, and was about to tell him the word game that he had planned before, when he suddenly heard a voice behind Han Jiangliu say, "Just because you haven't won me yet!"

As soon as this voice sounded, Lin Xiao and Han Jiangliu were all over, and their faces changed at the same time, the difference was: Lin Xiao's face was "surprise", while Han Jiangliu's face was "frightened". Before everyone could react, the next moment, a broken wooden door flew from behind, impartial, and smashed directly on the back of Han Jiangliu's head.

Han Jiangliu only heard a "bang", and the broken door panel had fallen on the back of his head, and the change happened so quickly that he didn't even have time to feel the pain of the door panel hitting his head, and the pain of the fine wood slag on the door panel piercing into his wound, only felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and the whole person knelt straight down.

Han Jiangliu raised his hand tremblingly, touched the wound on the back of his head, only felt that the tentacles were wet and hot, and when he took it to him, he found that his hands were covered with blood. The red blood greatly stimulated his retina, he went crazy, let out a long howl, suddenly forgot the sharp pain in the back of his head, got up from the ground again, waved the iron pipa in his hand, but did not turn back, but directly hit Lin Xiao with his head and face.

Lin Xiao saw that although the cold river was fierce, the rules and regulations were already chaotic when he made the move, and there were no tricks at all when he pounced in front of him, it was purely a manifestation after going crazy. After he recovered his memory and cultivation, he gradually approached the "Lin Xiao" of the year in terms of personality, and saw that the other party was like a fierce tiger pounced, instead of forcing it to be sharp, he met it head-on, and the Biluo sword followed the person, and the blade flashed, and a move "Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow" slashed at the iron pipa in the hand of Hanjiangliu.

Biluo's edge is sharper than Ye Wuxin's Huangquan, and how can it be compared with ordinary swords, this sword fell, directly cutting the fine iron pipa into two. The fierce and violent sword qi slashed with this slash, and after Han Jiangliu's back of the head was smashed, he was a little delirious, and the lower plate was also vain and unstable, and the whole person was lifted by the sword qi at the moment, and flew backwards backwards.

A "poof" sounded, and blood flashed.

The figure that flew out of the cold river suddenly stopped, as if someone was supporting his back from behind. His eyes widened, and he looked down at his own forward, a look of disbelief on his face—a bloody claw protruding from his right chest, and it had been grabbed through by someone's hand!

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and saw Han Jiangliu kneeling down with his knees weak, his eyes wide open, and the blood in his chest gushing like a spring. And right behind him, Yun Mengze grabbed his body with one hand, and dragged a person's collar with the other, that person - still "Yun Mengze"!

"How...... Yes...... Yes...... This...... "Han Jiangliu asked in disbelief, he now felt that as soon as he spoke, the pierced wound on his right chest would also be touched, and the pain made him tremble violently, and a few mouthfuls of blood came out of his mouth, and his speech was slurred.

Yun Mengze sneered, pulled his palm out of his body, and then clicked on several acupoints on his chest, so that he would not bleed too much and die. He turned around and came to Han Jiangliu, still carrying another self in his hand, and said, "You yourself like to play with my stand-in so much, then what can I do!"

As soon as the words fell, the "Yun Mengze" he was carrying on his body burned again, turning into a charred "stand-in" again.

"It's a 'stand-in talisman' again!" Lin Xiao said loudly, his eyes widening in shock. He didn't see Yun Mengze Shi Fu, nor did he feel that he could have any time to cast Fu under the pressure of Han Jiangliu, so where did this second "stand-in talisman" come from.

Changfeng said: "It's 'Eighteen Shadows'. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned when he heard this: "What is that?"

"It's a high-level secret technique in the stand-in technique. Changfeng explained, "Generally, the stand-in spells performed with the help of 'stand-in talismans' or 'puppet techniques' are all operated with a single talisman, and this practice has a flaw, that is, when the enemy is approaching step by step, it is difficult for you to free your hands to cast talisman spells, and even if they are cast, they are easy to be recognized." ”

"Later, someone created a method to create a stand-in by casting a spell with a certain number of runes before the battle, but no matter how many runes were used, there was only one stand-in. ”

Lin Xiao said blankly: "I still don't understand." ”

Changfeng continued: "For example, if I use two stand-in talismans to cast spells, only the stand-in used by the first talisman will appear, and this stand-in will replace me for normal actions, and only when the first stand-in is damaged, the stand-in used by the second talisman will appear...... And so on, in the early stage, use a few talismans to cast spells, and in the later stage, several stand-ins will appear to take over, giving people a cascading feeling. ”

Lin Xiao nodded abruptly and said: "I see, so Yun Mengze used the 'Eighteen Shadows' to make a stand-in in advance, so this has always been his stand-in fighting for him, and the main master has never participated in the battle." ”

Changfeng nodded: "It looks like this." ”

"Then are there a total of eighteen stand-ins?" Lin Xiao continued to ask.

"Not necessarily, how many stand-ins can be deployed, depending on the level of one's own cultivation and the strength of one's mental strength, it can be lower than eighteen or higher than eighteen. Changfeng said lightly, "The reason why it's called 'Eighteen Shadows' is because the talisman who created this method in the first place has his limit of eighteen stand-ins. ”

Lin Xiao looked at Yun Mengze not far away, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Then how do we know if the one that appears now is a stand-in?"

Changfeng didn't answer this time, he groaned for a while, and suddenly snatched the Biluo Sword in Lin Xiao's hand, waved his arm, and raised his hand to make a move "Meteor Catching the Moon", the long sword turned into a bloody ray, and flew straight towards Yun Mengze with a whistling sound that broke through the sky.

Yun Mengze heard the sound of tearing wind on his side, and when he turned his head, he saw Biluo stabbing towards him, and he was frightened: "Fuck!" blurted out, hurriedly stepped away from the "Shadow Walking", and dodged to the side. After he dodged, he found that Changfeng deliberately deflected some angles upwards when throwing the sword, so that he had enough time to dodge, otherwise with the skill of the Ethereal City Sword Attendant, how could this blow fail.

Yun Mengze was shocked and shouted: "What are you doing, I can only get two stand-ins, if I am more punctual this time, it will really be human life-are all the people in your Ethereal City who are so kind and will take revenge?!"

Changfeng did not change his face in the face of accusations, quietly picked up a piece of melon seeds from the table and put it to his mouth, and then said in a flat tone to the extreme: "The identification is complete, it is a real person!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyes silently, snickering in his heart.

Han Jiangliu had no ability to resist at this moment, although his chest injury was serious, but Yun Mengze deliberately avoided several vital parts of his chest when he attacked, because although his injury was serious, he was not dead. Although this Soul Chaser Pavilion ghost envoy had a heavy hand from beginning to end, he didn't want to take his life yet, otherwise Fang Cai's hand could directly penetrate his chest and crush his heart, how could he stay until now.

Han Jiangliu collapsed to the ground, spat a mouthful of blood foam, and scolded: "Mom, don't be complacent too early, do you really think ...... Is it just us who came to the Miju Building this time?!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What, listen to what you mean, it's not just you who came to the triple building this time, it's not just you who have a black screen door?"

Han Jiangliu smiled coldly: "Wait for Lin Xiao, soon you will know - your life is more valuable than you imagined!"
