Chapter 44: An Afterimage
The old man's rickety back disappeared in the square, Sun Ning turned around, and was about to enter the Great Chu Chamber of Commerce, when he heard two shouts.
But it was two middle-aged men who stopped in front of him and threatened to kill their father.
Sun Ning frowned. Under the sweep of the golden eye technique, the identities of these two people were unobstructed.
Meridian Hall Informant A, Meridian Hall Spy Ding.
Sun Ning immediately realized that he had delayed a lot of time to save the old woman just now, and he had been targeted by the Meridian Hall.
The two entangled themselves, must have been waiting for reinforcements.
There was no fear in his heart.
Sure enough, just a few minutes later, a young man with a short head, but carrying a thick-backed knife on his shoulder, looked extremely incongruous, and the young man who was no more than thirty years old, walked step by step, his steps were tepid, and he was more than twenty meters apart, and his eyes kept looking at Sun Ning.
There was a different kind of dullness and coldness in his eyes, and when he looked at him, it made people feel very uncomfortable, as if they were being targeted by a wild beast.
Sun Ning's eyes were clear, and they were even brighter.
This brightness is his burning battle intent!
His intuition told him that this person must have killed many people!
Under the golden eye technique, the basic information of the person who came can be seen at a glance.
Character: Meridian Hall No. 16 Silver Killer Bei Tongmu
Grade: LV20
Cultivation is: A Yuan Shi of the Acquired Realm
Attack: 31000
Defense: 9000
Bei Tongmu stopped five meters away from Sun Ning and said coldly: "You killed my whole family, today, I want to take revenge!"
The two informants who were pestering Sun Ning immediately stepped aside.
Sun Ning had just saved the old woman, and there were already a lot of people around. The square in front of the Dachu Chamber of Commerce originally belonged to the center of the Eastern Capital, with a dense flow of people, coupled with such a commotion, the number of people gathered had reached hundreds in a blink of an eye, and it was still increasing.
As soon as Bei Tongmu said this, the audience's expressions suddenly changed.
"This person looks young, like a good person, how can he do such a heartless thing as killing his whole family?"
"He saved an old lady just now, it doesn't look like it!"
"Some people kill people in secret, but they save people on the surface!"
Sun Ning smiled faintly: "The killer of the Black Market Meridian Hall, aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you say such things?"
The crowd was talking again, and this time, most of the public opinion was biased towards Sun Ning. After all, Bei Tongmu's temperament and appearance are too much like a killer.
Bei Tongmu was expressionless, and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, let me weigh your catties!"
Bei Tongmu's body is like a big bird, jumping straight up, six or seven meters above the ground. Like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, swooping down, the thick-backed big knife in his hand flashed with a rich knife, and a powerful and heavy slash slashed at Sun Ning's head, slashing down.
Swish!
Boom!
Sun Ning's long sword was unsheathed, dodging and running diagonally, the tip of the sword stabbing straight ahead, compared to Bei Tongmu's fierce and gorgeous attack, it seemed to be unremarkable.
The tip of his sword was lightly tapped at the center of the back of the thick-backed sword.
With this leverage, Sun Ning retreated seven meters back, completely avoiding the attack of the thick-backed knife. On the other hand, Bei Tongmu was a little unable to retract his momentum, and when he flew to the ground, his steps were unsteady and he took two steps forward.
The ground paved with deep-sea iron stone is extremely tough. The sword slashed at it, and the ground was unscathed, and the sword was bound to be broken or even broken.
But Bei Tongmu's knife qi leaked out, leaving a three-meter-long straight mark on the ground.
"Turn qi into strength, release true qi, this killer has reached the Acquired Yuan Spirit Realm!"
"That young man is not simple, he has a ninefold refining body, and he can compete with a Yuanshi, he is definitely a genius seedling. In the entire Eastern Capital, there will be no more than twenty such people!"
"That's useless, that Yuanshi is just trying his hand. I'm sure he'll be split in half in less than three rounds!"
Bei Tongmu's cold gaze suddenly became even more gloomy, and his tone was still cold: "There are two brushes, it seems that I have to show half of my strength!"
At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounds.
[Niang Xipi, spicy next door! The holder of the dignified system has been assassinated again and again, and my aunt can't bear it! The system willfully sends you a task, and you must give those bastards a little color!]
[Character Mission: Kill the Silver Killer Bei Tongmu (Reward for Success in Mission: Records of Observations; Failure in Mission: No Punishment)]
γDing!Do you accept the quest?γ
Lao Tzu did not hesitate to take the task: "Yes!"
Sun Ning said, "Really?"
The confrontation just now, although it was only a tentative move by Bei Tongmu, also made Sun Ning feel the gap between himself and the other party. In terms of strength, the difference is at least three times!
From the Refining Body Realm to the Acquired Realm, for martial artists, it was originally a chasm, and I don't know how many people were stuck in the ninth level of body refining and couldn't go any further.
But Sun Ning's advantage is the subtle basic sword type and basic law body.
"Now, I will let you know how huge the gap is between the Body Refining Realm and the Acquired Realm!"
Bei Tongmu snorted coldly: "Broken tablet type!"
His thick-backed knife was as sharp as a spear, and it seemed that there was no discipline at all, and he went on a rampage, slashing directly at Sun Ning's chest.
Under the scorching sun, you can clearly see the rich knife qi that bursts out from the tip of the knife, which is a foot long.
At a distance of five meters, Sun Ning also felt the biting chill transmitted from the thick-backed knife.
He didn't advance but retreated, the steel long sword connected the dots, and the tip of the sword collided with the blade of the thick-backed knife thirteen times in a few seconds, and the continuous sound of metal colliding was like heavy rain.
Thirteen collisions are also thirteen borrowings.
Sun Ning strode continuously, and the subtlety of the basic law body was once again revealed, and his body changed thirteen directions in a few seconds, perfectly connecting with the sword moves.
Knife exhaustion.
Bei Tongmu took three steps back, while Sun Ning took thirteen steps back.
"Sure enough, I underestimated you!" Bei Tongmu snorted coldly: "Then look at my wall-breaking style!"
Wow!
Bei Tongmu's thick-backed knife suddenly slashed out wildly, like a raging storm, and within three meters in front of him, a fierce wind composed of fierce sword qi blew.
Sun Ning retreated, retreated again! He stepped out again and again, and his footwork such as the dragon step, the floating leaf step, the wind shadow step, and so on, was displayed again and again.
The subtlety of the basic body is that it greatly increases the power of the various footwork after synthesis and devouring, and at the same time, it disrupts all the moves, turning the pieces into a whole.
In actual combat, Sun Ning can judge the battle situation without any condensation, but take the most suitable step like the same set of footwork.
Sun Ning's body completely turned into an afterimage.
The sword qi wind set off by the broken wall was certainly violent and ferocious, but Sun Ning always maintained a distance of at least four meters.
Everyone saw that the sharp knife wind made his clothes hunt, his hair flew in the air, and it seemed that he might be strangled into slag by the knife qi at any time, but it was just a little worse.
That's it, so that the attack of Bei Tongmu in the acquired realm, not the slightest bit, can not touch the corners of his clothes.
Bei Tongmu has performed the broken wall style thirty-six times in a row, this violent human level spirit technique "Mountain Opening Knife Method", extremely strong, infinitely powerful, and extremely consuming yuan power.
After this round of attack, Bei Tongmu's breathing was already short, and the movements in his hands slowed down slightly.
However, at this moment, Sun Ning, who had been dodging and retreating sharply, had been holding the long sword in his hand all the time, but had never used any sword moves, suddenly burst out with a sword ray, breaking into the sword qi wind.
