Chapter 32: The Two of Xiaodou
The next day, Gu Xiaowu met with his friend named Mao Ying at the East City Gate as promised, and there was an old man surnamed Zhao with him. The old man is also a monk in the Qi Induction Period, and after being introduced by Mao Ying, he just arrived here like Xiao Wu, looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face, he smiled and nodded at Xiao Wu, looking like a kind-faced old farmer. Xiao Wu also politely hugged his fists, and each hired a carriage to drive towards the east. When they reached a forest, Mao Ying's carriage stopped in front, and Mao Ying and the old man stepped down from the carriage at the same time.
"Qian Daoyou, you can only walk in here through this small forest. Mao Ying said to the carriage where Xiao Wu was sitting.
Xiao Wu answered and got out of the carriage, naturally because Xiao Wu gave himself a strange name, called Qian Dou. The Qian family is a small family in the westernmost part of Nanfu Kingdom, and it is said that it is rare to hear rich family members traveling outside.
After the carriage left, the three of them walked towards the woods together, along the way, Mao Ying talked about what they had seen and heard at the conference, the old man listened with a smile, and Xiao Wu asked a question or two from time to time with an interested face, and it was a very happy conversation, but the three of them still maintained a certain distance.
When he walked to a clearing, Mao Ying pointed to a place in front of him and said to Xiao Wu: "Daoist friends look carefully, the front is there." ”
"Strange, why didn't I see it, is there any forbidden circle?"
Xiao Wu said and took two steps forward, and looked ahead. just finished speaking, he lay down in front of him, and the moment Xiao Wu lay down, a red light and a blue light passed by Xiao Wu's side, and the red light directly knocked off Xiao Wu's outer hat, and instantly turned the hat into ashes. After Xiao Wu fell, he rolled to the side with a series of movements, and there was already an extra wooden sword in his hand, and he threw it out with a raised hand. The wooden sword had already turned into a half-zhang long block in front of him in an instant before he got out of his hand, blocking the fireball water sword flying from behind him, but after resisting it many times, it began to be slightly unstable.
"Magic weapon, you actually have a magic weapon!" Mao Ying exclaimed loudly.
"What are you afraid of, his cultivation is only the same as you and me, since he has torn his face, do you still want to retreat with his whole body? You see that he can't even control the magic weapon. The old man shouted, waking Mao Ying up from his fright, and also suppressed the fear in his heart.
The flying sword in the air really dimmed and became smaller and smaller a little bit as the old man said, which aroused the ferocity of the two people on the opposite side, and the fireball water sword in his hand kept condensing and shooting towards Xiao Wu, wanting to break through the defense of the flying sword and kill Xiao Wu. Seeing that Xiao Wu just got up and half-knelt on the ground, hiding under the flying sword, his face was pale and sweating, and he didn't look like condensing spells, Mao Ying began to show an excited expression, and being able to get a magic weapon was the biggest gain in these days. And the old man was a little puzzled, why the kid on the other side only manipulated one magic weapon to resist, if he released one or two more spells to attack, the two of them could only flee or die here directly, and now they seemed to have suppressed Xiao Wu's flying sword, and it was just because their preemptive attack made the other party have no time to react. They chose Xiao Wu to start because they had already seen Xiao Wu's disguise. A core disciple of the family who has just come out to practice, he doesn't have much defense, and there must be a lot of benefits on his body, so he is naturally the best target, but he didn't expect that the other party still has a magic weapon on his body, if he asks the other party to attack wantonly, one of the two of them will definitely be killed first, he doesn't dare to take risks, so he can only give it a go.
Mao Ying and the two have been partners for more than ten years, and it is not once or twice that they have done this kind of murder, and they even worked with another group of people to murder a Guji monk, but they have never encountered the qi induction period when they are carrying a magic weapon. The two tacitly used spells to attack Xiao Wu, and the two kept pulling away to move to both sides of Xiao Wu, although this may lead to a decrease in their attack strength, but if Xiao Wu wants to save his life, he has to prevent attacks from both directions, and one of the two of them can also have a chance to escape when it is dangerous, depending on whose luck is better, of course, it is best to be unlucky for the little guy in front of him.
Xiao Wu also saw the intentions of the two people opposite, and at this time, Xiao Jian had reached the limit, and it was about to be unstable, and it was too late to consider other ways to deal with it, so he could only let go while the two were not far from him. He grabbed a large clod of soil from the ground with his left hand, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand and rushed towards the old man with a single move of the flying sword, and the clod of soil in his left hand was also thrown like a water sword flying from behind. In a hurry, he used the wooden sword to open the fireball that flew in front of him, and threw the flying sword at the old man, at this time, the flying sword had become the size of a zhang and cut off the old man's next fireball.
The old man was stunned and held his neck with both hands, watching as the flying sword that was only half a zhang long suddenly turned into a zhang long and emitted a dazzling green light, and the tip of the sword was inserted into his throat.
Looking at the old man who fell weakly, Xiao Wu's situation was not much better, the clod of soil did not hinder the attack at all, and the water sword hit Xiao Wu's back firmly, only slightly off, just through Xiao Wu's left shoulder, and the power was also cut off directly from his left arm due to most of the reinforced body protection aura. But that's it, it also made him fall to the ground by the huge force of the water sword, and completely knelt in front of the dead old man. Fortunately, Xiao Wu did not lose consciousness due to the severe pain, and he was able to recall the flying sword in his hand in time to disperse the two attacks behind him and fly towards Mao Ying.
Mao Ying had already retreated when he saw the old man die tragically in front of him, but he also saw that the water sword he released also pierced Xiao Wu, with the power of his water sword, he should have blown Xiao Wu into two pieces, how could he still have the ability to fight back? Seeing that the terrifying flying sword was about to rush in front of him, he could only use all his mana to gather into a huge water sword, but at this time, his mind was unstable, and the water sword could not be sent out in his hand, just in the blink of an eye, his two hands were cut off, and the water sword was naturally destroyed. Mao Ying looked at his two broken arms, sat on the ground in pain and screamed, he had also seen the unlucky people who were tortured and killed by himself struggling in pain, and at that time he had loudly laughed at how lowly and embarrassed they were before they died, but he didn't expect that there was a scene of his own embarrassment today.
"Daoyou, no, senior, grandpa, spare your life, the villain knows that he is wrong, I will give all my net worth, you can spare my life." ”
"Uncle, as long as you spare the life of the little one, the little one will be used as a cow and a horse for you. ”
"It's all that old guy who made me do something wrong, you let me go, I'll take you to our treasure place, we also have a certain amount of wealth, as long as you let me go, this waste will become." Mao Ying painfully recounted how many spirit grass and spirit mines he had accumulated, and even many ill-gotten gains such as pill spell cheats.
At this time, Xiao Wu tore the robe he was wearing outside and tied his injured left shoulder, but blood could still seep out of the strips of cloth, dyeing the clothes inside red. Xiao Wu, whose face was pale, supported himself from falling, and slowly walked to a foot in front of Mao Ying and stopped, while the cyan flying sword floated around Xiao Wu and rotated.
"When and where the trading conference will be held, you can tell me first. Xiao Wu really wanted to know why he was in trouble this time.
"The trade meeting actually ended two days ago, and the venue was really the Royal Palace to the east. If the uncle wants to go, the small one can lead the way. ”
"What are you going to do when it's over? "I didn't expect that I would encounter murder and robbery for this trading conference that I didn't catch up with.
"There should still be people going now, there are some big merchants and low-level immortal cultivators who have come from afar to form a small trading market there, it is said that they have to tidy up and rest for two days before they are ready to leave, and there are also some monks who have not gotten the materials they want to exchange have not left. ”
"How to go, you tell me to listen carefully. If I find something wrong, I'll just kill you and find it myself. ”
“…… In fact, it is at the fork just passed, walk south and walk a stick of incense. ”
"You said you were going to give your whole net worth, where is it?"
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, as long as you don't kill me, I'll take you there. After Mao Ying finished speaking, he stood up with severe pain, but as soon as he raised his head, his head was cut off by the flying sword, and he still maintained a stunned expression on his face.
Xiao Wu was naturally tempted by the wealth in Mao Ying's mouth, but although he now used his spiritual power to control his injuries, he still found that his body was getting weaker and weaker. His injuries were actually much heavier than Mao Ying's, the water sword was destroyed from the bottom to the top of his back, and a stream of spiritual power was pulsed into his internal organs along the meridians. Mao Ying only had his hands cut off, and he was blown up by the water sword spiritual power that was thrown into his body, and his five organs and meridians were broken, and he just relied on a force to endure the blood in his throat, and relied on his spiritual power to stabilize his injuries and pretend to be fine. If he showed a trace of weakness in front of Mao Ying, it is estimated that Mao Ying would not turn around and flee, but stepped up his attack to kill himself. After saying so much, his physical strength has reached the limit, of course, he can only kill Mao Ying while he is still awake to be safe, he can't even walk now, the spiritual power in his body is used to stabilize the injury, all he has is that there is still a remnant of the mana he just injected in the flying sword magic weapon that can be controlled by divine thoughts.
