11. Jiu
Since it is going to be a competition, it will naturally not be in the back garden of Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yiren changed his clothes first, and he was no longer wearing the blue cloth robe, but a snow-white dress, dazzlingly white.
He was carrying a black sheath long sword behind him, and the reason why he chose to carry the sword like this was also very simple, Jiang Xiyi didn't even need to think about it, he knew that he was carrying the sword like this just so that he could pull out the sword in the shortest possible time.
Jiang Xiyi and his entourage followed Xue Yiren out of the courtyard of Xuejiazhuang and returned to the forest.
Along the way, Xue Yiren has completely changed.
Before, when he wore a blue cloth robe, he looked like an old man with an elegant and calm demeanor, like a wise man who did not seek to be heard, and more like a famous man who was tired of the red dust and retired to the forest.
Just before he changed his clothes and put the sword on his back, Chu Liuxiang only felt that when he walked side by side with him, he didn't feel the slightest uneasiness, and the person in Xue Yi beside him seemed to be just an ordinary old man.
At this moment, the sword has not yet been unsheathed, but the sword qi has been unsheathed.
Chu Liuxiang faintly felt that there was a kind of compelling sword qi coming out, piercing and chilling, but this sword qi was not emitted by the "sword", but by people.
This sword qi was emitted by Xue Yiren himself.
Jiang Xiyi looked at Xue Yiren seriously, nodded, and thought in his heart: The number one swordsman in the world really deserves his reputation.
Jiang Xiyi felt the resonance between the two of them who were both swordsmen.
He is no longer an old man gossiping with people at this moment, when he carries this sword and puts on this white clothes, he has become the "blood-clothed man" who used to dominate the rivers and lakes and was happy to take revenge.
Jiang Xiyi touched her waist, and she felt that the soft sword on her waist was trembling at the moment.
This tremor was not fear, but excitement, excitement, and the sword was so satisfied with the opponent it was about to fight that it couldn't even wait to get out of its sheath.
Jiang Xiyi was also like this sword, extremely satisfied with the opponent she was about to fight, Chu Liuxiang, who was standing beside her, looked at her all the way with a smile on her face, and the smile on this face went straight to the bottom of her eyes, melting her face with frost and coldness.
Now, everyone has arrived in the forest, the wind has swept up the fallen leaves all over the ground, and Xue Yiren is standing straight among the yellow leaves flying in the sky, like a javelin.
The snow-white clothes on his body are even more eye-catching at this moment.
At this moment, there was a terrifying sword aura in his eyes, his sword had become a part of his body, or was he a sword, the sword was him, and he had become one with his sword.
Jiang Xiyi and Xue Yiren were separated on both sides, and Xue Yiren slowly pulled out the black shark skin sheath and the copper swallowing sword.
The sword is very long, three to four inches longer than the common swords on the rivers and lakes, there is no sword spike, and there is no decoration, just because his sword is not for good looks, but only for killing.
The iron-blue sword glowed blue, and everyone present had already felt the chill emitted from the sword.
When the sword light shot out, Xue Yiren's eyes also lit up, and he stared coldly at Jiang Xiyi.
Jiang Xiyi was opposite Xue Yiren, also dressed in white, the wind slightly blowing her sleeves and long hair, if it weren't for the cold sword intent around her that people couldn't ignore, she really didn't look like a person who came to fight for life and death.
Jiang Xiyi first lowered his eyes and stared at Xue Yiren's sword, then raised his eyes to look at Xue Yiren's eyes, and said, "Good sword." ”
Xue Yidao: "Of course." ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded and stopped moving.
Xue Yidao: "Where is your sword?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "In the sheath, it is also in the heart." ”
Xue Yiren's hand tightened and said, "Take out your blade." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "When it's time to come out, it will naturally come out, please do it." ”
Xue Yiren laughed loudly, and the laughter stopped as soon as he started, and said sharply: "Okay, please take it!" ”
Before Xue Yiren's words landed, his body technique had already unfolded, his sword light lit up like lightning, and his shot was like a thunderbolt and lightning strike, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed out seven swords in a row towards Jiang Xiyi's body, sealing all her movements, no matter how her body changed, she couldn't dodge a sword.
But Jiang Xiyi didn't hide, she chose to meet the seven swords!
Suddenly, there was a sound of 'Qiang', like a dragon's roar, and then the Sen Han sword qi rushed out of the sky, a gust of wind blew, Jiang Xiyi's sword was out, a little cold light flashed, turned into a cold light, cut off the dead leaves in the air, only heard the sound of seven weapons connected, and she swung all the seven swords of Xue Yiren!
Xue Yiren's swordsmanship is like the Yangtze River, pouring thousands of miles, the sword light is dense, the seven swords are not successful, and six swords are stabbed, which will not give people a moment of respite.
Jiang Xiyi's eyes stared at the six sword lights, and the sword in her hand followed her gaze, slowly, steadily, but cleanly handed it to Xue Yiren.
The edge of her sword pointed directly at Xue Yiren, but it passed through Xue Yiren.
Then, everyone saw that the six sword lights all disappeared in an instant, as if they had all been swallowed.
Jiang Xiyi stepped a little, stepped on the leaf and took off, and then turned over and swung his sword downward, and the sword qi poured out like moonlight.
Xue Yiren immediately stepped heavily on the spot, and then flew up, leaving a deep footprint under his feet, and at the same time, a deep sword mark was carved horizontally on the footprint, but the sword mark was deeper than the footprint.
The wind has not stopped, and the sword has not stopped.
The sword in Xue Yiren's hand pointed directly at Jiang Xiyi.
Jiang Xiyi clenched the sword in his hand, frowned slightly, exhaled deeply and slowly exhaled, and retreated all the way in the air, his back was about to lean against a tree behind him.
Seeing this, Xue Yiren was overjoyed, and with a wave of his sword, he stabbed again.
The sound of breaking the sky brought by the cold sword blade sounded in Jiang Xiyi's ears, Jiang Xiyi's heart moved, his movements were faster, and he avoided the sword with a volley, and the person floated behind Xue Yiren.
Xue Yiren stabbed his sword into the air, but he stopped it, and after stepping on the trunk twice, he also turned over.
When Xue Yiren turned over, he stabbed Jiang Xiyi with all his strength with the sword in his hand, this sword had the momentum of thunder, although there was only one sword, it was faster and more urgent than the previous swords, and it was more fatal, as if he would never give up without being stained with Jiang Xiyi's blood.
Jiang Xiyi saw Xue Yiren's move, and stabbed a sword out of thin air, and the sword qi broke through the air like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar, and rushed towards Xue Yiren with his claws.
Chu Liuxiang was on the ground, and before he could see how the two of them made a move, he could only hear a few 'ding' sounds, and after the air was like sparks splashing, a sword fell from the sky and plunged into the ground until it was without a handle.
Then, Xue Yiren landed in the air, and in just a moment, he seemed to be ten years old, still dressed in white, still the same person, but his back was not as straight and straight as before, and his eyes were not as daring to look at as before.
Jiang Xiyi landed behind him, her sword was still in her hand, the sword light was colder than the moonlight, but the sword that was brighter than the moonlight was still in her hand.
The wind dies down.
After Xue Yiren let out a long sigh, he slowly turned around, stared at Jiang Xiyi and her sword for a long time, and said word by word: "I lost." ”
Xue Yiren never thought that one day he would say this sentence, his three words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at first, and then dispersed with the wind, these three words that many people would rather die in their lives than never say it, were still said by him.
But when he said this, it came from the heart.
When Xue Yi and Jiang Xiyi struck the last blow in the air, Xue Yiren tried his best to stab out a sword, hoping to take Jiang Xiyi's life directly, but the door was wide open and unobstructed.
Jiang Xiyi only needed to put the sword straight in and out, and stabbed Xue Yiren in the chest with a sword, and she could take his life, but she didn't do it.
She chose to take the risk of knocking Xue Yiren's long sword away without hurting his life.
Xue Yiren's defeat was convinced, but the loss of his sword made him unavoidable.
A smile tugged at Jiang Xiyi's lips and said, "You are very good, and your sword is also very good." ”
Xue Yiren sighed: "But I still lost." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "That's because I'm stronger." ”
Xue Yiren didn't expect Jiang Xiyi to reply like this, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You're right, you are stronger, and the sword under it will belong to the owner of Jiang Zhuang." ”
Xue Yiren nodded, and left the forest step by step.
And at this moment, Chu Liuxiang took a closer look and found that there was an extremely eye-catching blood hanging on Jiang Xiyi's soft sword.
This bloodstain spread all the way to the tip of the sword and dripped to the ground, looking up along the sword, Chu Liuxiang realized that the cuff of Jiang Xiyi's white coat on his right hand was faintly revealing a gorgeous red.
Chu Liuxiang had just raised her hand, and before she could make any other moves, Jiang Xiyi raised her left hand to cover her chest, and then her upper body shrank and shook, and a stream of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of her mouth, and then she shook it again, and a mouthful of blood dyed all her chins red, falling on her white clothes, like a little red plum.
After Jiang Xiyi returned the sword to the sheath, he sat cross-legged on the ground, sighed and closed his eyes.
The power of the sword that Xue Yiren stabbed with all his might is really indescribable, and Jiang Xiyi knocked that sword away, naturally it can't be unscathed, it was just that she carried a mouthful of internal strength to support it before, in that case, no one can be unscathed, compared to this mouthful of blood, it is better than taking a life.
Chu Liuxiang saw that one of the thirteen people in the Southern Dipper and the Beidou took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a pill, and gave it to Jiang Xiyi, her complexion was much better, but the blood stains on her sleeves still made him feel extremely dazzling, and for a moment Chu Liuxiang couldn't take a step away.
About half an hour passed before Jiang Xiyi opened her eyes, she raised her hand to wipe her chin, and her sleeves were dyed bright red again.
Jiang Xiyi's eyes rolled, and when she saw that Chu Liuxiang was still in place, she wondered why this person hadn't left yet, but she didn't just think so, she also said it in her mouth.
Chu Liuxiang heard her voice, as if she had been knocked on the head, she was in a trance for a moment, and then realized that she should be fine at the moment, so she said: "I came with you, of course I have to go together." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "We are going back to Kunlun, do you want to go to Kunlun with us?" ”
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "No, you are going to Kunlun, I want to return to Jinling, I can just walk together for a while, and we can accompany each other together." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "We only have fourteen horses. ”
Chu Liuxiang said: "It's okay, I can buy one in Songjiang Mansion City." ”
On the way back, Taixuanzhuang's original team of fourteen people had an extra Chu Liuxiang, and when he arrived at Jinling, Chu Liuxiang said: "Can Master Jiang Zhuang appreciate his face and go to Jinling City to sit down?" ”
Jiang Xiyi pulled the reins in his right hand, held Xue Yiren's long sword in his left hand, and said, "No." ”
Chu Liuxiang asked, "Why not?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "There is no reason. ”
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "Since this is the case, I don't know if I have the opportunity to go to Hongmeng Peak again in the future, can I get another drink?" ”
Jiang Xiyi tightened the reins and said, "If you can find it, let's talk about it." ”
When the words landed, there was a cloud of dust, and the fourteen people in white clothes and white horses were on the road again, and Chu Liuxiang shook his head with a smile in place.
When Jiang Xiyi and his party returned to Kunlun, it was already winter, and it was colder than when they left.
At this time, the foot of Kunlun Mountain knew the news that the lord of Taixuan Zhuang had re-emerged from the rivers and lakes to defeat Xue Yiren.
Fourteen did not stop at the foot of the mountain, but rode up the mountain.
After going up the mountain, I didn't bother to look for it, and I arrived at Taixuanzhuang.
Taixuanzhuang is still brightly lit, and after Jiang Xiyi arrived, he dismounted directly into the village and entered a stone cave on the rockery in the back garden.
From the outside, outsiders would never have imagined that this stone cave was so big that there was a light shining into it.
This is the dark room that Jiang Xiyi has left for an unknown amount of time.
The stone table was still standing there, not a bit of dust.
After Jiang Xiyi gently put Xue Yiren's sword on it, a yellow light lit up on the stone table, enveloping the sword.
The light became more and more dazzling, and even Jiang Xiyi had to squint his eyes.
After the halo dissipated, the sword on the table disappeared out of thin air.
Jiang Xiyi didn't feel strange in her heart, there were too many strange things in this dark room, she said slowly: "I found this thing, what is the second one?" ”
'The Emei faction's Heavenly Sword. ’
Jiang Xiyi wrote down the difference between the Emei faction and the Yitian Sword in his heart, and asked, "When will I go?" ”
'Go when it's time to go.' ’
Then the light of the stone table dimmed again.
At the same time that the light of the stone table was dim, there was a sudden snowstorm on Kunlun Mountain, and a white expanse taught people to not be able to distinguish the direction, and after a quarter of an hour, the wind stopped, and the boulder engraved with the three words of Hongmeng Peak was no longer seen on Kunlun Mountain.
