Chapter Seventy-Two: Fighting
Shang Mo didn't hesitate at all, and as soon as the nine-section whip came out, he went straight to the door in front of his opponent.
Xiao Qiu smiled, folded his hands, pulled out, and in an instant, he held a Erlang knife, shook it horizontally in front of his chest, and hit the whip head, and flew back with a soft roar.
Shang Mo hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still half a beat slower, and a cut was made on his face, oozing blood.
"Double hook, it's useless for you to hold it, you Youlan don't lack a queen, hand it over obediently, I will spare your life, and promise that once you run out, you will return it immediately." Xiao Qiu seems reluctant to make a big move.
"Here you can." Shang Mo's eyes rolled, "However, you have to tell me what do you want this mortal to do." β
"It's none of your business." Xiao Qiu frowned slightly.
"Why don't you care about me?" Shang Mo slowly withdrew the nine-section whip from his hand, "She is my fiancΓ©e, the prospective queen of the Youlan Kingdom, I can't let her go with you without knowing anything." Besides, as soon as you open your mouth, you ask for a big living person for nothing, there is no such reason, even if it is to buy and sell livestock, there must be a price. β
Shu Kui couldn't help but be unhappy when he heard him compare himself to the animals.
Xiao Qiu was also displeased: "I said, leave you a life, isn't this valuable enough?" β
"It's hard to say whether I need your kindness to spare my life." Shang Mo had been observing Xiao Qiu's expression, "You should tell me, what is there that you can give and I want." β
Xiao Qiu held the Erlang knife upside down with one hand, thought about it, and said, "How is Ling Jiuchuan?" β
Shang Mo's eyes lit up.
"And the Kui Xian Kingdom." Xiao Qiu added.
"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Shang Mo didn't believe it, "What are you going to do with me?" β
"Specifically, it's a long story." Xiao Qiu began to get impatient, "You give me the hook and this mortal, or it won't be long before I can give you Ling Jiuchuan and Kui Xianguo - I have always been trustworthy and will never deceive in any way." β
"That's not going to work." Of course Shang Mo refused, "It's a long story to make a long story short, you want me to ...... Belch...... Want me to ......"
Speaking of which, it's stuck.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Qiu's impatience in his heart was even worse, and he raised his knife to step forward again.
"Wait." Shang Mo raised his hand to stop it, and then turned to Shu Kui, "What do you humans call that?" That is, if you give me your money, I will pay you back two or three times as much money as you want. β
"Investment?" Shu Kui is not sure.
"Yes." Shang Mo nodded, and turned back to Xiao Qiu, "You want me to invest, and the investment is still my whole life, why do you have to give me a ......?"
As he spoke, he turned to Shu Kui again: "When I ask you for money to invest, write an essay to you, tell you what I have to do, how can I return two or three times the money to you within the specified time, what is this article called?" β
"Feasibility study?" Shu Kui's brain turned very fast.
Shang Mo said "oh", looked at Xiao Qiu, and spread his hands: "Why do you have to give me a report like this, right?" β
Xiao Qiu saw that they were singing together, and the farther and farther they went, they had escalated from displeasure to annoyance: "It's really verbose, just do it, if it doesn't work, I'll do it myself, there's no need to explain so much to you." β
Before he finished speaking, he shook the Erlang knife in his hand and rushed towards Shu Kui.
Shang Mo strode over, straightened the nine-section whip, blocked the falling blade, and pushed it.
Xiao Qiu stepped back, held the knife horizontally, and swept straight at Shang Mo's waist.
Shang Mo said "ouch", and still used the nine-section whip to resist, but this time, he moved sharply in his hand, wrapped the whip around the blade, and pulled it hard.
The original intention of this move was to let the opponent's weapon get out of his hands, but Xiao Qiu was very good at it, and he didn't move at all.
For a while, the two were like a tug-of-war, pulling and pulling.
"Gardenia, Yunxue Guard, come and help!" After a moment of stalemate, Shang Mo saw that he was about to be defeated, and suddenly shouted loudly.
Xiao Qiu was stunned when he heard this.
Shang Mo hurriedly took this opportunity and loosened the nine-section whip.
Xiao Qiu was still pulling back, and as soon as he unloaded his strength, he suddenly stood unsteadily, and stumbled.
In the blink of an eye, the nine-section whip head had already come to his eyes, pointing straight to his eyebrows.
"Cunning." Xiao Qiu said, his body retreating rapidly.
"If you don't be cunning, you won't be able to live now." Shang Mo urged the whip head to press forward step by step.
Xiao Qiu saw that he couldn't dodge, so he simply went up, and he lifted the Erlang knife upside down with one hand, as if he was not ready to resist anymore.
"Look for death." In Shang Mo's opinion, his move was simply self-defeating.
No, at the moment when the whip head was about to hit the target, Xiao Qiu disappeared suddenly, and then appeared behind the whip head, and Erlang knife went up.
Immediately, the nine-section whip fell softly as if it had been beaten by a seven-inch snake, and it was no longer as flexible and ferocious as before.
In this regard, Shang Mo did not show much surprise, and only received nine whips and whistled.
With this whistle, ten people dressed in white appeared out of thin air, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, beckoning to Xiao Qiu's head and body together.
Xiao Qiu looked contemptuous, Erlang's knife slashed in the air, only to hear a series of clanging sounds, the ten people retreated one after another, but eight of the weapons were not in their hands, and the remaining two were also wolf-looking.
"How did you get in?" Xiao Qiu was slightly puzzled, but quickly came to his senses, "What you just talked about turned out to be a distraction for me to let them in." β
Shang Mo smiled: "This is my territory, I made a little preparation before you came." Then again, you're so powerful, why didn't you think to make the enchantment stronger? β
"It's all little hairy kids, what's the use of coming in?" Xiao Qiu snorted from his nostrils.
"There are more people, and I have the bottom in my heart." Shang Mo half-jokingly.
"No matter how many people there are, it's useless." Xiao Qiu squinted at him, "You just call the entire palace, and I can kill you without leaving a piece of armor." β
Shang Mo still laughed, shook off the nine-section whip in an uproar, and attacked forward.
At this time, the hail gradually stopped, and the barrier covering Shu Kui disappeared.
Gardenia appeared, standing not far away, silently watching the fight between the two.
"Can Shang Mo beat him?" Shu Kui leaned over and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Gardenia does not squint.
"How did you get in? Why didn't the guards find out? Shu Kui asked again.
"I don't know." Gardenia Jin still said, "This person's cultivation is very high, maybe he is an immortal demon, an ordinary guard, it is impossible to see through his tricks, even me, if I look at it with my heart, I can only vaguely see a rough idea." β
"And what does he look like?" Shu Kui became curious.
Gardenia squinted: "Man, it should be a little taller than the real Xiao Qiu, and his face can't be seen clearly." β
As he spoke, he made a "huh", his eyes narrowed even more thinly, and he looked quite labored.
"What's wrong?" Shu Kui knew what she had discovered.
Gardenia didn't answer, but carefully observed for a long time, and shouted to Shang Mo: "Your Majesty, his leg has been injured." β
As soon as these words came out, the two people in the fight were pale.
Shang Mo immediately changed to attack the next plate, and his moves were fast and ruthless, and he focused on the knees and shins, which have few muscles.
Xiao Qiu brandished the Erlang knife, either dodging or blocking, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.
"How do you know?" Shu Kui couldn't see anything, and felt that every move of the two of them dazzled her.
"The center of gravity is wrong." Gardenia Jin was still staring at the battle situation, "It should have been very seriously injured at the time, but now it is basically better, and it is not a big problem to walk and run, but when you fight, your feet are still a little weak." β
After a pause, he tilted his head: "It seems that it is not only a leg injury, but I always feel that something is wrong." β
"What's wrong?" Shu Kui said subconsciously.
"I really can't see it." Gardenia rubbed her eyes.
And over there, Yun Xue's guards picked up their weapons and surrounded Xiao Qiu in the middle, sweeping and sweeping, chopping and chopping, chopping and stabbing, all trying their best to help Shang Mo solve the opponent.
However, Rao is eleven against one, and Xiao Qiu did not fall behind at all, freely shuttling between the gaps of the weapon, and occasionally, he could make a few moves back to force someone back.
The battle lasted until the early morning of the next day, and half of the Yun Xue guards were slightly or severely wounded and retreated to Gardenia, while the other five were panting and sweating profusely, and they did not make much difference.
Seeing that Xiao Qiu was getting more and more courageous, and approached the place where Shu Kui was little by little, Shang Mo was anxious and threw the nine-section whip into the air.
"What, I can't beat it, I'm so angry that I even threw the guy?" Xiao Qiu teased.
Shang Mo didn't make a sound, and opened his hand and raised it to his side.
The nine-section whip fell from mid-air, suspended a few inches above his hand, and had taken off its clasp, except for the handle, each section was facing Xiao Qiu straight up.
"It's something on you that you're so skilled, right?" Xiao Qiu looked at the nine-section whip, "Do you want to give it to me?" Aren't you afraid that if I get it, it will be bad for you? β
"If you want to get it, you have to cultivate for a few more years." Shang Mo gritted his teeth and said, and the nine-section whip immediately took off his hand, as fast as an arrow off the string.
"Majesty, don't!" At the same time, Yun Jingli's voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone didn't expect her to appear here, and Shang Mo was so shocked that he even lost his head with nine whips.
Xiao Qiu was the first to come back to his senses, and when he dodged, he grabbed a whip: "Who is this beauty?" β
Shang Mo hurriedly withdrew the remaining sections: "What are you doing here?" β
"Your majesty, your ...... He took your feathers. Yun Jingli didn't answer anyone, her eyes widened, and she looked panicked.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Mo is going crazy.
"I ...... I've heard...... There are assassins...... "Yun Jingli was stupid when he saw blood all over the ground."
"Yes, there are assassins, go back." Shang Mo frowned tightly.
"But...... You...... He ......" Yun Jingli stumbled, and her eyes stayed on Xiao Qiu.
"I'm fine, go back!" Shang Mo roared.
Halfway through the words, Xiao Qiu burst out, and in a few seconds, he rushed to the front of Gardenia Jin, pushed her away with a strong palm, and reached out again, snatching the double hook in Shu Kui's hand.
In fact, when Xiao Qiu made a move on Gardenia, Shang Mo had already reacted and quickly rushed over, but he wanted to recapture the Death Hook and beware of Shu Kui, so he was at a loss for a moment.
