136: The fate of the swordsman
The moon is in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.
Cheng Li held the "Nine Yao Chop" and stood quietly in the patio outside the bedroom, looking up at the starry sky, as if admiring and waiting. It's more like a wandering thing, I don't know what to think.
After I don't know how long, suddenly, outside the patio, some kind of very strange footsteps sounded. Immediately afterwards, a tall, thin figure bent its back, exchanged footsteps in a peculiar posture, and slowly walked into the patio.
Ginger broken strings. The chief executioner of the Criminal Department, once walked the rivers and lakes under the pseudonym "Peng Shisandou". With a strange-shaped long knife, challenge countless famous artists. Hundreds of battles in his life, invincible.
Cheng Li withdrew his gaze from looking up at the night sky and focused his attention on the visitor. He suddenly found that Jiang Broken String's posture was not like walking on flat ground, but like a tightrope was erected between thousands of cliffs. And Jiang Broken String walked on this tightrope.
This posture is not good-looking. But as long as the expert understands, walking in this posture is the most energy-saving. However, generally speaking, even the top masters in the rivers and lakes will not often walk in this posture, because there is no need.
Only in one case, the top masters in the rivers and lakes will take this posture to walk. That is, before they have to go to a duel with the enemy.
At such a critical moment, no one dares to waste half of their energy. Because in the fierce competition between life and death, even a slight difference in strength can often determine the outcome of the victory.
So, Jiang Xuanxian is now walking at this pace, and he has been in front of Cheng Li, what does he want to do?
Suddenly, Jiang Broken String's body stopped. All the movements of the whole body came to a halt at this moment. All the energy and physical energy will never be wasted.
Cheng Li looked at him and said in a condensed voice, "It's you, Mr. Jiang." ”
Jiang Broken String said lightly: "Of course it's me." It would only be me. ”
Cheng Li bowed slightly: "Because among the remaining people, only you and I are the ones who hold the knife." ”
Jiang Xuanxian said: "Mo Qixing and I have known since the first moment we met. Between me and him, one will die by the other's sword. This is a fate that we cannot escape. Now that you have killed him, then you must take his place and take on the battle that fate has predestined. ”
Cheng Li's voice seemed to carry helpless sadness: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. There are many things, and they are indeed like this, and they can't be changed, and they can't be changed. ”
Jiang Broken String said: "Since it can't be changed, why do you need to change it? The victory or defeat has been decided, and there is no more worry, wouldn't it be more happy?"
Cheng Li sighed: "Although it is happy, it is not fair enough. Do you know that now when you compete with me, you will not only face me, but me plus Mo Qixing?"
Jiang Xuanxian said slowly: "I can vaguely detect a little. Is this what the Glass Treasure Controversy really is? Or rather, is this the Glass Treasure?"
In order to compete for the glazed treasure, the eight masters of the world gathered together and launched a brutal battle with blood flowing all over the place. In each battle, the winner can take all that the loser has.
In this way, when the final winner is determined in this bloody battle, the only winner is equivalent to having the ability of the eight masters in one body. It's incredible.
Once this final victor is allowed to leave the cage in the void of Lonely Mountain Villa and return to the world, who else in the world can resist his light blow? It will be easy to seize the name of invincibility in the world. If you want to say that this is a glass treasure, I believe that no matter how difficult it is, someone can put forward a different opinion, right?
But Cheng Li vaguely felt that it seemed that the glazed treasure should be more than that. The ancients said that buying a pearl is returned. Perhaps, concentrating all the abilities of the eight masters on one person, compared to the real glazed treasure, is just the exquisite box used to place the priceless pearl.
But Cheng Li has no evidence to prove this. So let's press that idea for now. Said slowly: "Even if you know that if you do it at this moment, you will definitely be outnumbered." Do you still want to do it?"
Jiang Xuanxian grinned: "Although you have captured the cultivation of the Ink Seven Stars, after a fierce battle, you are already tired. The murderous spirit and fighting spirit have also been consumed by most of it. And I'm recuperating, and I'm at the top of my game. That's how it counts, it's exactly half a catty,"
Cheng Li said: "But why don't you go to the last battle first, seize another person's cultivation, and then wait for me to recuperate, and then come to a fair battle?"
Jiang Xuanxian sighed softly, his expression was gloomy, and he said slowly: "The battle for the treasure has begun, and in the future, it will only become more and more chaotic and uncontrollable. I have a vague hunch that tonight, if I don't come to you. Then it is very likely that there will never be this opportunity again. ”
Cheng Lidao: "Do you think someone else will find you first?"
Jiang Xuanxian did not deny it, and said slowly: "I am the executioner of the Criminal Department." My father, grandfather, and grandparents were all executioners of the Criminal Department. I was born to kill. In my life, I don't know how many people's heads have been chopped off. Whoever kills, he will always kill him. I was prepared to die, but even if I did, I wanted to die at the hands of another swordman. Only in this way can I have an explanation for my life. ”
Cheng Li was silent for a while, and said, "Are you too pessimistic? In my opinion, the other five people may not be better than you." ”
Jiang Broken String said: "But it may not be weaker than me." That's not for sure. It is precisely because I can't say for sure that I want to take the initiative and do something that is accurate first. Cheng Li, you should be able to understand. ”
Cheng Li really understands. At the same time, he understands better everything that should be said, and almost all of them have already been said to each other. Now, that's all that remains.
Exhaling slightly, Cheng Li suddenly lifted the knife in his hand and said in a condensed voice: "The name of the knife is Jiuyao, and the knife style is also known as Jiuyao." Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon, throat, and count. Intentional and untricken, ever-changing. ”
Jiang Broken String also lifted his strange-shaped long knife. Said slowly: "The name of the knife is broken." Three knives are broken, and people can't see them. If anyone sees it, it is like a broken string. ”
After two sentences, they were silent again. Because all the languages are now over.
People are speechless, and so are knives.
But the sound of the knife and the sound of the knife can also be regarded as a kind of speech, a speech that is sharper and more terrible than any language in the world, and even more unchangeable.
Win or lose, live or die, it never gives you much choice.
"Qiang~"
The sword flashed, the sound of the knife sounded softly, two unparalleled sharp knives in the world, two unique swordsmen, seemed to have each made a move, but it didn't seem to be. Because from anyone's eyes, it was as if they hadn't moved a finger at all.
But in the patio, a towering tree behind Cheng Li, a rockery behind Jiang Xuanxian, silently, divided into two halves at the same time, and then slid diagonally. The fracture is flat and smooth, just like tofu.
"Good knives!"
"Good knives!"
Coincidentally, the eyes of the two of them each bloomed with a blazing and fanatical light. It's like two gourmets who have been hungry for three days and three nights, and suddenly see a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
