Chapter 593: Reeds Shed Blood

Chu Xianzhao and Lu Nanqing finally walked out of the sea of giant trees, and they were greeted by a cool breeze, which lifted the spirits of the two who were tired from moving quickly.

So far, he hadn't seen Guan Ju and Tangerine Hong, and Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but be a little worried about their situation.

Just as the two of them were shuttling through the giant woods, he saw the bodies of at least six or seven of the participants hanging from the branches, or lying on the grass in pieces, in an extremely tragic death.

The compassionate Lu Nanqing knelt beside their corpses, for their transcendent souls, Chu Xianzhao did not urge her to move, where did she think that there was really no shortage of ruthless people among these participants, this is a martial arts competition rather than a war between the two countries, it is really unnecessary to kill the killer like this.

The next situation of the two will become more and more dangerous, and it is still unknown whether they can successfully leave this land of spring and autumn.

The sound of Lin Hai behind him was endless, remembering that when Li Beichan's robe was buried under the waterfall by him, Chu Xianzhao was subconsciously silent for a while.

The series of things he has experienced since he left the Yin Kingdom have proved that he is not without Chu Xiaohua, he is a restrained waste, and the saying that gold will shine wherever it is not true at all.

In front of any powerful force, the so-called dignity is not worth mentioning at all, now he doesn't need dignity, he needs strength, the power that can allow him to fight against Chu Xiaohua, and the power that can make him go home.

He came to Luoyang not only to wait for Ying Liyang and her army, but also to prove that the people of the Zhao family's dragon family had this power.

But his strength is not enough, and there is still a lot of effort and a lot of work to be done to completely overthrow this dynasty.

After Chu Xianzhao and Lu Nanqing walked out of the sea of giant trees, they came to a Qingjiang River that was as flat as a mirror, there were large clusters of crimson reeds nearby, and the cyan sky light sprinkled in the reeds, these bright red reeds reached the height of their waists, and slowly surged like a red tide with the breeze caressing.

The plants and animals in the land of spring and autumn are not the same as those outside, the water here is blue, but the reeds are snow-white.

But for Chu Xianzhao and Lu Nanqing, the scenery here was a little weird, especially the picture of the wind blowing the reeds and the red snow, which made him feel a palpitation for no reason, as if the air had become clammy and cold.

The two of them stood on the high place of the reeds and looked out, the green river was stable and slightly undulating, as beautiful as the silk on the girl's body, and some faint shadows could be seen in it.

In the land of spring and autumn, the color of the day is mostly cyan, and you can occasionally see the appearance of other colors, and even the light is sometimes dim and sometimes bright, as if you are in the middle of morning and evening.

When he looked back at the giant wood forest just now, the fluttering mist covered the forest, and even the giant tree closest to him only had branches showing out of the mist, giving him a feeling that was almost real but somewhat illusory.

Everything in this land of spring and autumn made him feel extremely wonderful, but there was some danger hidden in this wonder, but he couldn't figure out where the danger was.

Lu Nanqing took off the pair of edelweiss shoes, carried the shoes and walked barefoot into the reeds, her skin was as white as snow, she was as vivid as a drop of cow's milk dripping into blood, waist-high reeds brushed by her side, these crimson reed branches were very slender, swaying gently like waves in the breeze.

I don't know if it's because of the location where Chu Xianzhao is standing, this waist-high crimson reed swings as far as the eye can see, and the river that reflects red in the blue is as silent as stagnant water, and for a long time I can see a ripple floating on the water, it should be something under the water.

Chu Xianzhao vaguely remembered that Guan Changye had told him that when many powerful sects in Nanlu chose the mountain gate, they would let people probe the qi and look at the pulse, follow the rules of feng shui to arrange the formation, and build an artificially created cave heaven blessed land to store the qi of heaven and earth, and turn it into a cultivation place for the disciples of the sect.

Such a place was naturally shocking enough for those of them who went up the mountain, but for the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, it was just a place where they often came to cultivate.

What should he do next, there is a big blue river about dozens of zhang wide and wide, according to normal thinking, they should directly cross this reed, and then cross the river and continue walking.

Now the question is how to cross the river?

Chu Xuan looked at the cyan Yangtze River, which was like a stagnant water, and listened to the whimper of the wind blowing the reeds behind him, it seemed that Longhu Mountain's choice of this spring and autumn land as the content of the third round of the competition was not a random choice. In this strange environment, it can test the qi perception and physical ability of the participants to the greatest extent, just like raising Gu worms, sprinkling hundreds of Gu worms into the Gu pot, and the one that survives in the end must be the most powerful and poisonous, this is the meaning of the existence of martial arts, selecting the strongest people.

Lu Nanqing quietly walked to a rock by the river, facing the blue river, looking at the bright red reeds that were swaying in the breeze, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Xianzhao asked tentatively, "You...... Is there any way we can get us through?"

"Just follow me. ”

After Lu Nanqing handed him the pair of edelweiss shoes, he held the silver bottle in both hands. After passing through the bright red reeds and coming to the river, I saw her raise her slightly moon-like jade foot and lightly tap it on the river.

As soon as the jade toe touched the surface of the water, it condensed an extremely thin layer of ice, and then quickly spread towards Lu Nanqing's front.

"Releasing cold condensation, is this the secret method of your Guanyin Sect?" Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but admire.

Lu Nanqing slowly walked towards the other side of the river, ripples suddenly appeared under her feet, a thin layer of ice chips appeared on the water, and white lotus flowers seemed to be born in front of and behind her, and her skin was as white as snow, and she was even more beautiful than mortals.

It should have been a very beautiful picture in front of her, but she saw that Chu Xianzhao was about to raise her heart and liver to her throat, for fear that she would accidentally sink into the river, and it would be a problem for him to get her up when the time came.

Without the help of any divine weapons, she was able to make the river freeze by simply releasing the qi engine, and she simply walked over!

At this moment, a purple shadow appeared in mid-air, this shadow was very straight and very faint, as if it existed and as if it did not exist, and finally swept across the river and fell straight on Lu Nanqing, who was treading water into ice.

Be careful!" Chu Xianzhao exclaimed.

Lu Nanqing reacted suddenly, stepped on the ice suddenly, and the whole body quickly left the river like an upside-down bright moon.

However, at the moment she left, the cyan river suddenly exploded into a mist, as if a hurricane suddenly appeared on the river, which looked extremely strange and terrifying.

Although the water is soft, it does not mean that it is soft and weak, and countless water droplets spread towards the reeds in an unimaginable edge at that moment.

At this moment, whether it was these bright red reeds or the boulders on the shore, they were instantly hit by these water droplets, and the reeds turned into a torrential red rain, scattering everywhere, and even the boulders appeared with many holes the size of fingernails, as if everything was shredded by the water droplets raised by these sword qi.

Chu instantly summoned his body and stepped in, and suddenly floated into the air to catch Lu Nanqing, who was unstable, and landed heavily on the riverside, looking back at the direction where the sword qi was coming.

The red catkins rainstorm finally stopped, and a purple dress stood proudly in the reeds, looking particularly high-spirited at this moment.

The man in purple was carrying a purple long sword in his hand, his eyes were scarlet, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

He looked at Chu Xianzhao with a smile, and then asked, "You are the person Tang Huang, Long Fusheng named me to kill?"

"Who are you?"

As soon as Chu Xianzhao's words fell, the reeds on both sides of the purple-clothed man suddenly fell, and the purple sword qi overflowed all around him, making him more and more immortal.

In addition to the purple-clothed man with a sword in one hand, several other people also appeared behind him, including a fair woman holding a jade flute with a red belt around her waist, a strong man covered in cyan iron armor, and a young warrior with two spears in his hands.

The purple-clothed man shook out a sword flower with the purple sword in his hand, looked around and said with a smile: "My surname is Tang, plus a deep water, you and I are also surnamed Tang, we were a family five hundred years ago, but today I have to borrow your head, otherwise Long Fusheng will find me trouble, I don't want to be pestered by this madman for the rest of my life, I think it's much easier to deal with you than to deal with Long Fusheng, what do you think?"

Chu Xianzhao put down Lu Nanqing with an expressionless face, and he didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to speak.

Tang Shen didn't feel embarrassed, he stuck this sword on the ground with his backhand, pressed his hands on the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile: "Long Fusheng also said that if I can take your head out to him, he not only promised us ten thousand taels of gold, but also is willing to recommend us to go to the imperial court to be officials, instead of continuing to advance in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is better to slaughter you here, and let us take your head out to receive the reward, what do you think?"

Chu Xianzhao frowned, he didn't expect this Long Fusheng to actually use this kind of indiscriminate method to deal with him, if Long Fusheng promised him a thousand taels of gold to kill him every time he met a participant, I am afraid that his next situation will be that he will be an enemy.

Chu Xianzhao threw a look at Lu Nanqing and motioned for her to hide aside, he didn't want to bother her because of the thing he and Long Fusheng did.

He slowly took out Chengying and Chunjun from the jade belt qi talisman, and said calmly: "I don't think you will get any benefits from him, but you head, I have to decide." ”

Lu Nanqing took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Childe, they are numerous and unpredictable, so let me sit down and reason with them." ”

Chu Xianzhao glanced at this Guanyin Sect disciple whose state of mind was as pure as a blank piece of paper, shook his head, and didn't explain much.

If reasoning can solve all problems, he doesn't have to break with Chu Xiaohua to get to this point.

What about the son of a daughter who has not sat down since he was a child, and the pressure of bearing the weight of the crown is also reflected on him.

He has overcome all the obstacles from the Yin Kingdom to the Southern Continent, and has begged for life again and again, and now he must reawaken Wang Xi and be crowned king again before Ying Liyang returns to him.

This young man named Tang Shen is a casual traveler born in the market, in the early years he met a kendo master who was seriously injured under the purple bamboo forest, this unknown master transferred his vitality to Tang Shen before he died, so that he, a disciple of the market who had no swordsmanship inheritance, was reborn, and turned into a dragon when he met the opportunity, took over the simple long sword in the hands of the kendo master, and stepped into the kendo road.

Compared with Chu Xianzhao, the son of the daughter of the legend of the two masters, in addition to the inheritance of swordsmanship before the death of the master, he has continued to learn from his master over the years, and what he has learned is extremely complex, and he has seen countless secret exercises, whether it is swordsmanship or fist technique, or the secret methods of some sects, he has been involved, it is precisely because the cultivation process is too scattered, and the realm is always not high, and he came to participate in the martial arts big move in order to withdraw from the competition after being among the top 30, and taking a title of the top 30 is enough for him to show off his martial arts for a lifetime。

But he ran into Long Fusheng here, after Tang Shen fought with him, in the case of knowing that he was invincible, in order to save his life, he chose to compromise with Long Fusheng, Long Fusheng knew that if Chu Xianzhao was not dead, he would inevitably cross this Qingjiang, so he chose to leave Tang Shen's life here to intercept and kill him, and he and his companions continued to move forward, and his scheming methods can be described as deep.

"The reeds here are redder than blood, and it's a good place for the dead. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Shen suddenly seemed to shift his shape, pulling out a series of extremely long afterimages behind him, and the long sword in his hand broke through the air and stabbed, pointing directly at Chu Xuanzhao's foothold.

Chu Xuanzhao's figure also advanced almost at the same time, like a green leaf blown by the wind, with a few waves of red wool and extremely ruthless killing intent, attacking his opponent.

The next moment, the long sword that stabbed straight in his hand was bounced away, exploding with a roar of gold and iron, but he couldn't see Chu Xianzhao's shadow.

Tang Shen's pupils contracted suddenly, and his body suddenly braked, drawing a deep earthy ravine in the scarlet reeds, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing where Chu Xianzhao was originally standing.

"This kid didn't make it to the third round by playing tricks, as those fools said. Tang Shen looked at the figure moving quickly in the reeds, leaving a little ripple of qi behind him, and his heart palpitated.

"But I'm going to see how many you can have. ”

The long sword in Tang Shen's hand broke through the air, and purple sword qi surged away, both sharp and tenacious, like a huge demon flower blooming in the reeds, and a thick purple mist filled Tang Shen's side.

Chu Xuanzhao's figure in the hands of the dual swords was erratic, dodging the purple sword qi that followed, and it seemed that he had come and gone without a trace, but in fact, he had launched an attack on Tang Shen intentionally or unintentionally.

In the process of dodging, he found that the reeds where these purple sword qi passed suddenly turned black, as if they had been impregnated with a poisonous miasma.

Tang Shen stared at this Chu Xuanzhao, and as soon as he stepped on the soles of his feet, the whole person was deceived and moved forward, and countless purple sword qi fluttered in unison, instantly turning into a large sword net that attacked the sky, like a net of catching birds, covering the top of Chu Xuanzhao's head.

Chu Xuanzhao's figure suddenly rose from the ground, his double swords broke through the air, his big sleeves rolled, and a single sword blow tore apart this purple qi sword net.

When this extremely domineering sword fell in Tang Shen's eyes, he subconsciously squinted at those rather delicate Danfeng eyes, the reason why he used his sword qi to attack so majestically was to test Chu Xuanzhao's true strength.

But what surprised him was that from the time Chu Xianzhao came out of the sword to now, the qi in his body was running like a wine glass shaking rapidly, but he didn't see the wine spilling out of the glass, and there were not too many qi fluctuations around him, which was something that could only be done by being familiar with qi machine manipulation.

Not only Tang Shen was surprised, but even Chu Xianzhao felt that the qi in his body had been re-consolidated, and he no longer had the uncontrollable sense of overflowing sword qi in the past, it seemed that Li Beichan's death was not a gift to his qi machine, but a real send-off.

His eyes instantly became resolute, and he subconsciously raised a sword, and the soil under his feet rolled like boiling, and the reeds were shattered.

Chu Xuanzhao lifted up a large piece of land with the power of a sword, and the soil turned into an overwhelming mud in the air in the blink of an eye, smashing towards Tang Shen's foothold.

The rest of the participants standing behind Tang Shen jumped high, rushed towards the mud tide that was wrapped in thunder, and broke through this mud tide with their own unique moves, with a loud bang like a winter thunder.

In mid-air, the earth and mud were everywhere, and a huge piece of soil fell into the Qingjiang River, and a monstrous wave was blown up, and the bright red reeds flew like a blizzard.

Chu Xianzhao was indifferent to the joint attack of these participants, and continued to hand his sword forward, stabbing straight into the chest of the participant closest to him.

The opponent with his palm wrapped in a scarlet iron sleeve threw a punch against the tip of his sword, and his body fell slightly into the green river.

Chu Xuanzhao's face was expressionless, and he used a sword red dragon towards the place where he fell, and the red sword qi as bright as a rainbow roared out.

When the red dragon sword qi penetrated the body of the participant, it turned him into a lit firecracker, turning into flying ashes in the river one by one, and the screams were endless.

Now that Chu Xuan, who has cultivated the dragon's blood physique, the red dragon used by Chu Xianzhao has the characteristics of high heat like dragon flame, and it is just a sword move to destroy the city by burning the river.

At this time, golden flames burned in his pupils, and his mouth let out an irrepressible low roar, like a dragon floating into a dragon.

"You even have the legendary sword red dragon!"

It was obvious that Tang Shen was also shocked by the sword technique he had unleashed, and he saw that with Chu Xuanzhao's foothold as the center, the Qingjiang behind him suddenly bloomed with a magnificent huge splash.

Jiang Zhong was no longer in sight of the opponent who had been hit by his sword and red dragon.

Before Chu Xuanzhao landed on the reeds, he threw out the shadow that still carried the scorching sword qi and shot towards Tang Shen's chest like a red ray.

This sword is just a blinding method used to attract everyone's attention, after the sword was run out, Chu Xianzhao held the sword in his backhand and squatted on his knees, and a sword swing was instantaneous.

The entire reed swing was lifted by his sword qi, and the blood-red reed flew like a blizzard.

In the midst of this red blizzard, there was an extremely vivid cyan figure that quickly attacked, obviously trying to kill the enemies in sight repeatedly!

The eyes of the rest of the participants were covered by the sudden reed blizzard, and they hurriedly retreated.

Chu Xianzhao chuckled and said, "I'm scared now, why aren't you afraid of the people who came to kill me just now?" It's useless to be afraid, it's too late!"

Chu Xuanzhao didn't wait for the reed blizzard to subside, his body moved extremely quickly, and then he took out his sword, and every time he approached a participant, when the other party was caught off guard, a sword stabbed into the opponent's throat.

With each stabbing blow, a stream of blood rose from the reeds and swayed with the wind.

In an instant, eight of the Lifters had already died under his sword, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Because Chu Xuanzhao was aimed at their throats and slashed, they would not have shouted that big dream at all and then left here, they could only bury their bones in this reed, turning into a forgotten corpse.

Chu Xuanzhao still maintained the posture before the sword, and finally stood up straight, and then swung the sword to vibrate.

Blood dripped on Chu Xianzhao's face, like heavy rain and snow, and he just smiled coldly, as if he was extremely happy. target
