Chapter 69: Light and Shadow

Twilight. The county seat where Gao Shilian's home, where Shi Qingyi once lived, was already in complete ruins at this time, and the ubiquitous ruins showed that it was empty, and there was no one in this ruin.

When the rebels came in that year, the residents of the county town were also looted, almost all of them were killed, and the remaining survivors fled one after another, and finally disappeared, leaving only this abandoned town, which can also let later generations know that there were many people living here, and it was also full of noisy but comfortable roosters and dogs barking.

A young orphan girl walked quietly alone in this ruin, her light steps were unusually loud because of the silence around her, and in the face of this dead and silent environment, the girl did not show a trace of fear or other expressions, she just walked like this, as if she was completely indifferent to the environment around her.

The girl is Qin Zhaoxiang, who is indifferent and not like ordinary people because of his own experience, Shi Qingyi found that the contrast with the quiet backyard of the Li family, which is uninhabited, after a bloody and murderous county ruins, is more suitable for Qin Zhaoxiang's cultivation, so he brought Qin Zhaoxiang here, but he didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good, Qin Zhaoxiang is also almost day and night, and he will leave the Li family and run here every dusk, until dawn he left from this place and returned to the Li family to continue his cultivation.

Today, the girl came here as usual, but unlike usual, the girl did not immediately look for a place for her own cultivation, but began to walk along the abandoned streets of the county seat, as if she was a wolf king patrolling her territory. And in its unusual appearance, it vaguely reflects the anxiety in the heart of this ice-hearted girl: the wind brings a strange atmosphere that does not belong to this space, who is it that invades her territory?

Qin Zhaoxiang circled around the county town over and over again, but there was no doubt that the lurking of the visitors was very clever and extremely keen, and he could always avoid Qin Zhaoxiang's search in the slightest, so that Qin Zhaoxiang would return in vain. And as time passed, night fell quickly, and soon, the entire ruins were already plunged into darkness. Ordinary people can't see with both eyes.

Qin Zhaoxiang also froze in place, although the martial artist has surpassed mortals, even the darkness cannot block the warrior's vision, but there is no doubt that the dark environment still affects people's eyesight, and when the eyesight is affected, no one knows what the result will be. Therefore, it was the best choice to stop where he was, and Qin Zhaoxiang had to sit there like this, as if he had returned to the backyard of the Li family, not caring about the cold and biting cold wind of the winter season at this time. Time passed bit by bit, but the strange visitor never appeared, as if he and Qin Zhaoxiang had the same idea, quietly lurking somewhere in the ruins.

Qin Zhaoxiang seemed to be asleep at this time, her head was lowered, her eyes were closed, and her hands were wrapped around her thin body, as if she could not bear the invasion of the cold, but even so, she did not get up and leave to find a place to shelter from the cold wind, she stayed on the street at the intersection of the road, and spent almost the entire long night, until the morning star rose in the east, and there was still an hour, and the sky was about to dawn.

The sneak attack was launched at this time, it was dark at dawn, and in the extreme darkness, Qin Zhaoxiang's eyesight was even more affected, and whether Qin Zhaoxiang was asleep or kept awake all the time, the timing at this time was the most perfect moment - if she fell asleep, then even if she woke up, her consciousness could not wake up immediately, and it was very likely that she would be killed without a trace of resistance, and if she insisted on not sleeping all night, hum, then her energy would definitely be consumed, and at the end of the strong crossbow, how could she be the opponent of the sneak attacker.

A dark and dull long sword stretched out from the darkness and stabbed at Qin Zhaoxiang's heart silently, whether it was from the choice of timing or the swordsmanship of this sneak attack, the sneak attacker chose just right, and he could ensure that the other party would not find out to the greatest extent, so as to kill with one blow, ten steps...... Five-step ...... One step, just as the dark sword was about to pierce behind the girl, a mutation suddenly appeared.

A palpitating feeling suddenly appeared in the bottom of the sneak attacker's heart, making the sneak attacker's flawless sword instantly slow down, and in this moment, Qin Zhaoxiang had quickly turned around and faced the sneak attacker, a pair of eyes as if they had not woken up yet, slightly squinted, but there seemed to contain boundless murderous aura in it.

"Do you want to go?!" Stretching out her hands, revealing a pair of short, curved blades to hold the long sword, the girl's voice seemed to be like the wind in the Nine Netherworlds, cold and solemn. Seeing that the sneak attacker couldn't succeed in one blow, he immediately pulled back, how could Qin Zhaoxiang let him go: "Since you have invaded the Paradise of the Dead, then stay here!" ”

The girl said, two curved thin blades came out of their hands, close to the eyes of the people, taking advantage of the sneak attacker hurriedly used a long sword to pick it up, flying forward, both hands showed a pair of medium and long curved thin blades, up the head and neck, down to take the feet, the move was extremely ruthless, but was blocked by the sneak attacker one after another, in the darkness can only rely on the shadow to roughly see the other party's figure, can not see the face of the opposite person, both do not know what kind of expression will be shown on each other's face, but see the fighting, sparks, mixed with the collision of swords and sent out "ping pong" Voice, the sneak attacker's long sword is obviously not ordinary, and although Qin Zhaoxiang's thin blade has a strange shape, the means of attack are also very tricky and difficult to defend, however, because it is made of mortal iron, it is often broken in less than a few rounds of fighting, if it is repeated, Qin Zhaoxiang's combat methods have gradually begun to focus on fighting, trying to avoid contact with the enemy's sword.

Despite this, the Qimen blades in his hands were still broken, and he gradually fell into the disadvantage, despite this, Qin Zhaoxiang was full of fighting spirit, and still tightly entangled the other party, in fact, because of the belief at this moment that he believed in the creed of flying away after a miss, the sneak attacker had no intention of fighting Qin Zhaoxiang to the death in the front, but it was Qin Zhaoxiang who was entangled with the other party, so that the other party had to fall into the situation of fighting Qin Zhaoxiang head-on, but now it seems that it is Qin Zhaoxiang himself who is about to be cornered, At this moment, the sneak attacker has obviously gradually touched the use of some of the strange door blades, and the sword momentum is gradually opening and closing but continuously, constantly breaking Qin Zhaoxiang's sudden weird and tricky blades, on the other hand, Qin Zhaoxiang has gradually attacked less and defended more, and was gradually suppressed by the comers.

In the dark, Qin Zhaoxiang didn't know who the person was, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to assassinate him, the girl's young mind couldn't think of too many complicated things, and since the other party threatened herself, then kill it, her mind is like this, her movements are naturally like walking with clouds and flowing water, as light as clouds, as heavy as a mountain, although she is gradually in danger, she is often able to rely on her natural ingenious tricks to turn danger into danger, and the fierce fight continues.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was dawn, and because his face was facing the suddenly rising sun, the sneak attacker's eyes stinged, and he had to give up the trick of continuing to attack, and at the same time took a step back and protected himself with a long sword, and as expected, the little girl in front of him had already roared, and pounced, and two slender curved blades of almost three feet in her hand collided fiercely on her ink-colored long sword......

With the splashing sparks, the sound of iron shattering, the girl exerted force under her feet, jumped up, at this time the girl was in mid-air, with her back to the morning sun, the thin figure in the shadow formed a strong contrast with the brightness behind her, but it was a strange harmony, in the air, the girl unbelievably twisted her body, took out a black thick-backed machete, and swung at the enemy like lightning, so that the other party had almost no chance to react, and could only barely set up a long sword to block.

The ink-colored long sword was broken in two, and Qin Zhaoxiang's body was filled with a cold aura, like a messenger of hell to hook the soul, and her knife was also like her person, exuding the smell of death, about to harvest the life of the person in front of her.

The long sword was destroyed, and the attacking assassin was still very calm, because of the dawn, Qin Zhaoxiang finally saw the other party's face at this time, although his head and face were covered, but those eyes were still extremely calm.

Under Qin Zhaoxiang's strongest blow, the skill was close to the Dao's knife momentum, and the hands of the person who came seemed to form a complicated handprint slowly and quickly, meeting the indestructible knife momentum, and at the same time, a deafening mantra came from the mouth of the person, resounding throughout the ruins of the entire county: "Coax!! But it was the Western Regions Tantra: "I'll coax you!" The last word of the five mantras, combined with the power exerted by the true qi, actually affected Qin Zhaoxiang's indestructible sword momentum, and then, the handprint of the person who came was covered on the black death blade that showed a trace of flaws, and the space seemed to set off a trace of waves, and then the qiē returned to calm.

Qin Zhaoxiang fainted, she was already young, and the time she had been practicing martial arts was only a short few months, and there was only a small amount of true qi in her body, which was not enough to control this terrifying magic knife, so that she could not immediately counterattack after a blow, and fell into a severe coma, at this moment, Qin Zhaoxiang no longer had the slightest ability to resist, so he could only be slaughtered by others.

Qin Zhaoxiang's opponent, the mysterious masked man, did not take the opportunity to poison her at this time, but just sighed, and then took off his mask and revealed his own face, which was a familiar face to Qin Zhaoxiang, because the name of its owner was Shi Qingyi.

hugged Qin Zhaoxiang who was in a coma, at this time, because she was sleepy, there was no anger on her face, she was a very ordinary image of the little sister next door, and she would not be reminded of the murderous Garuda army hunter in southern Hunan at all.

Shi Qingyi sighed again, what kind of fate can make this little girl what she is today? Shi Qingyi began to clean up the battlefield, putting away all the broken curved blades and short sword fragments, and in order to prevent the girl from suddenly waking up and doing unpredictable things, Shi Qingyi clicked on a few of the girl's acupoints, and then picked up the girl, walked out of the ruins, and walked in the direction of Luoyang City.
