Chapter 22: The Pit

We ordered people to prepare horses, and quietly opened the city gate and approached the Gobi garrison of Qin Yiwu. The night was overcast, the moonlight was so tightly obscured that I felt like I was riding into a great black curtain.

Kumei's expression was solemn, and the sleeves of her robe were hunting in the wind, I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't say anything, and soon we were less than a mile away from the Hegis army, and the Heggis people did not light the lights at night, but from a distance I could see a figure walking back and forth patrolling.

"Dismount!" Kumei whispered, jumped to the ground first, and I followed and grabbed the reins, dismounted and lowered my body to look at the other side.

"You just follow me for a while, don't make a noise and don't do anything with others, I'll deal with any situation, understand, Master?"

The suffix of this sentence amused me again: "Good apprentice." ”

Kumei didn't mean to be half-joking, she put her hand into the crook of my arm, lifted a breath and swept forward lightly, ran forward for a distance and could clearly see the wooden fence of the camp of Heggis, there were four sentries standing at the door, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth in the camp, one of the sentries glanced at this side, Kumei immediately froze, the distance between us was about 30 meters away, if it was daytime, it would definitely be discovered, but the sentry just casually turned his neck, and soon turned his head away.

Kumei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the eyesight of the Hegis people will also be affected at night. ”

I intuitively felt that my body was floating lightly in the air, and a layer of white light was shrouded around my body, and then I remembered that Su Jing took me to break into Zhu Xiaofeng's palace, and I asked Kumei: "You taught Su Jing this trick, right?" ”

Kumei said lightly: "Yes, but she must use it better." ”

The two of us quietly escaped the sentry's field of vision and jumped into the camp, Kumei stood for a moment, frowned, and said, "Strange! ”

"What's wrong?"

Kumei said: "Don't you think it's too quiet here?" ”

I looked around, and there was silence except for a few patrols shuttling back and forth between the tents as far as I could see.

Kumei said: "Qin Yiwu has 600,000 cavalry, and it is impossible to not even neigh. The two of us tiptoed to the outside of a tent, Kumei gently picked up the tent door and looked inside, and said, "Empty! "When I looked around, I saw that the bedding on the beds was in the shape of sincerity, but the clumsiness of the means was obvious, and it was clear that they did not expect to fool us.

"What does that mean?" Kumei said casually, and then checked the other camps, all of which were like this, no wonder the military camp that could accommodate 600,000 horses was silent, it turned out to be an empty city plan set up by Qin Yiwu.

At this time, we no longer cared about anything else, and walked quickly in the camp, and a few soldiers found that we were all defeated by Kumei, and after ten minutes we had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Hegis army, but at this time there was not even a single soldier, and it was even more strange than just now.

Kumei stopped, leaned forward slightly, paused for a while and said: "I have a very awkward feeling, there must be people in this camp, and they are all masters, but the sword qi of these people appears from time to time, as if they are deliberately blocked." ”

I said, "Don't rush and take your time. ”

Kumei waved her hand and stood in place with full concentration, at this time, a white light suddenly flashed in the air in the distance, this light appeared and disappeared in a flash, but Kumei and I could see it clearly, Kumei blurted out: "It's Su Jing's sword qi!" While she spoke, she had already pulled me to sprint towards the place where the white light appeared like lightning, and after a short time we came to the front of a huge pit, and then I only glanced at it and suddenly my blood gushed - this huge pit is about the size of half a football field, from the edge of the pit to the bottom of the pit is a fan-shaped arc, the height is about 2 meters, Su Jing and Huang Yifei and others are standing at the bottom of the pit facing outward, and the slopes around are full of Heggis archers, everyone keeps releasing arrows to the bottom of the pit, and the people who are bound to the bottom of the pit struggle to hit the feather arrows, and there are still people who keep falling down from the arrows, The outermost edge of the position has been lying in a dense row, Su Jing's body is suspended in mid-air, the sleeves of his robe are frequently waved to release sword qi, trying his best to slow down the feather arrows, I secretly wonder, with Su Jing's ability, even if her sword qi reaches the point of a strong crossbow, it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to pose a threat to her, but looking at the dying posture of the Binding Divine Guard, it is obvious that Su Jing is quite difficult to fight against these archers.

I knew that something was wrong and looked at it, and soon found the key - around the pit, there was an old man in brocade standing on each side, these four people were guarding the four directions, their arms couldn't help pushing forward, every time an arrow feather left the string, it immediately used the sword qi of these four old men to suddenly increase its speed, like a bullet that was knocked out of the chamber by a primer, Su Jing was lonely, and he could only take care of one direction for a while, and the other three sides of the Divine Guard suffered heavy casualties.

I recognized at a glance that the old man in brocade standing opposite us was Wei Wouji, and I suddenly realized: with his cultivation, he rebelled from Hong Lie and joined Hajis, and he will definitely be reused, and the so-called Four Great Teachers must have a place for him, so needless to say, the other three old men are the other three national teachers, Hegis set this trap and used the four top masters in the country, which is undoubtedly a conspiracy.

The four great masters are also floating in the air, the old men on both sides of Wei Wouji sneered between the waving of their arms, their momentum is not inferior to Wei Wouji, the old man closest to us is extremely tall, wearing a red robe, with his back to me and Kumei, the power of each action is particularly amazing, Su Jing is very energetic and has six or seven points of being led by him, and he is still at a loss in this confrontation, I am stunned at this scene, and shouted: "Kumei, what are you still stunned for?" ”

Kumei was also a person surnamed like a fire, and at this time he completely forgot about his personal safety, and roared angrily and waved his palm at the back of the old man in red, the old man in red was dealing with Su Jing, and he had already noticed that there was someone behind him, he did not turn around, his right palm bypassed the left ribs, and he slapped Kumei firmly, Kumei's body trembled and took a big step back, the old man in red did not move, and there was still room to auction a palm at Su Jing, and then his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he was a little surprised: "I heard that my daughter Guo Kumei has been retired from the rivers and lakes for many years, and I didn't expect to go out of the mountain in person today." "This person didn't look back, he recognized Kumei's identity with just one palm, and he didn't fall behind, and he was obviously also a sword saint-level figure.

Kumei shouted: "Then you are not subject to death? She pointed at the back of the old man in red's head with two fingers, the old man turned calmly, and couldn't help but say that he met it with a single fist, this move seemed to be using brute force, but it was undoubtedly a wonderful move to turn defense into attack, Kumei changed his fingers into palms, and wrapped around the old man's veins, and the other party forked down with ten fingers in an instant, just like the farmers in the field who hit the plow with a plow after encountering a snake, Kumei withdrew and leaned over, and his toes had kicked to the other party's lower plate, the old man's body jumped up and leaned forward, and his thick palm volleyed towards Kumei, After Kumei turned sideways, a deep pit was carved out of the spot.

The two of them are not young, but the moves they use are all offensive and defensive, old and spicy, the old man in red knows the identity of Kumei, naturally he will not underestimate the enemy, the moves are rolling endlessly, Kumei calmly copes, the two of them in a very short period of time lightning and thunder generally passed dozens of moves, and an aura was formed around the body in an instant, and the tangible and textured expansion outward, I stood dozens of steps away from them and felt very cramped.

As the old man in red withdrew from the encirclement, Su Jing seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, but it was only a moment of relaxation, this encirclement was obviously a large array full of mysteries, although the old man in red was temporarily entangled by bitter plums, but the other three hosts of the large array could still form a balance on the binding guards, Huang Yifei's subordinates saw an opening in the front, and rushed up desperately, but they were restrained by the bows and arrows on both sides, turning elbows and armpits, and suddenly a few people fell to the ground, and the 4 binding guards were able to block Su Jing, and they couldn't get off at this moment when they were trapped in this big array.

Kumei and the old man in red have passed 50 moves in a blink of an eye with a quick fight, Kumei is Su Jingye's master, and the kung fu theory of the two is also the same. The two masters duel, I was not feeling restrained at the moment, and I inadvertently touched the Qingxuan sword in my waist, I drew my sword and threw it in my hand according to Kumei: "Amei, take the sword!" ”

Kumei returned to pick up the sword, brushed the ground and stabbed at the old man in red, the sword helped the sword qi, and let out a snort, the old man in red didn't care, he was about to grab the sword with his palms flipped, seeing that the tip of the sword was still three or four inches away from him, and the cuffs were cut off, the old man in red was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this sword had the miraculous effect of gathering sword qi, and blurted out: "Qingxuan Sword? "I couldn't help but look at me deeply.

Kumei had the help of the Qingxuan Sword, and barely had a draw with the old man in red, I understood that if I wanted to break this formation, I had to start with the other three, and ran around the edge of the pit towards the old man in brocade on the left, Su Jing looked at it in his eyes and said loudly: "Xiaolong go back, it's dangerous!" ”

They were naturally aware of the changes after the Hegis formation, but except for the old man in red, he had no time to take care of me except for the old man in red who withdrew to deal with Kumei, obviously this large array was carefully calculated, and everyone had to stick to their position in order to exert their power, and I figured out that this point was even faster, and my left side was due west, and there were about 300 archers, lined up in three rows to release arrows into the pit, and when they saw me coming, the people on the side had to draw their swords to meet me, These people's martial arts are not high, but a large number of people come up, which is really a headache for me at the moment, just when I was at a loss, I heard someone under the pit say viciously: "Throw them all down to me!" "I looked down and saw Huang Yifei looking here with burning eyes.

Rao is in this situation, I can't help but snort and laugh, it seems that Huang Yifei has nowhere to come out after suffering from the bird's anger all night, and he wants to vent with these archers.

I faced these Hegis soldiers, neither fighting back nor dodging, but pushed them all into the pit one by one, although Huang Yifei and others could not rush up, but they were at ease against these soldiers, and for a while they were launched like a big meat grinder, and the two sides started a fierce battle, and the archers who were facing Huang Yifei hesitated when they were afraid of their own people, which immediately caused a burst of confusion.

I am a little happy in my heart, if it goes on like this, a gap will soon be opened, as long as the people who bind the gods come up, and the ordinary soldiers will be dealt with by them, Su Jing and Kumei dare not say the victory or defeat of the four great divisions, and it seems that it is not difficult to get out.

Just when I was playing Xiao Jiujiu, a yellow figure quickly passed through the gap between the soldiers, I felt a stagnation in my chest, this person's palm had already attacked indiscriminately, I didn't even have time to see his face, the sharp sword qi had broken through the air, with my experience with people, this person's sword qi seemed to be stronger than Wei Wuji, and it could almost be concluded that he was a master of the Sword Saint level, and it was the person who guarded this side in the Four Great Masters.

I flashed to the side, and took advantage of the situation to his ribs, this person saw that my shoulders shrugged slightly and had expected my intentions, he didn't wait for the move to twist his old body in mid-air, let go of my fist to my lower abdomen, I followed the change of his sword qi ten fingers open and pressed towards the top of his head, this person's eyes are extremely old, there is still a step away from me and has changed the move, the two of us kept flashing and changing the move, and in an instant they exchanged dozens of moves, and they didn't even touch each other's skin. When it settled, the corners of the sleeves of the yellow robe also froze, and at this time, the evening breeze was blowing, and the hems of everyone's clothes were hunting with the wind, but the old man in yellow was like a portrait of a person stuck in the night, which showed that his control of the sword qi had reached the point of doing whatever he wanted from the inside out. He was thin, in his seventies, and his originally cold eyes were full of surprise at the moment, which seemed a little incredible, and seemed to be a little confused: "I didn't expect you to be able to walk ten rounds under the old man at a young age...... Wait, where do I seem to have seen you? ”

Wei Wuji on the other side snorted and said: "Brother Zhuye can be blind this time, although this person is young, he is the new sword god of Hong Lie, the fifth elder of the Shi family, and he has been in the limelight recently." ”

The old man in yellow, known as the bamboo leaf, said movingly: "Sword God? ”

When he said, "Where have I seen you", I was still wondering, since I came to the Federation Continent, I actually haven't had much contact with the Hegis master, let alone any national teacher, if I saw him, I should have an impression, but I can't remember it at all, but after he shouted the word "Sword God", I suddenly remembered a person - when I was still in my daughter's country, Hegis had sent a killer to assassinate my mother, and in the end, the killer was masked, but it was a sword saint-level existence, this person was almost successful, fortunately I went out to block him, He didn't know the depths and retreated timidly, and when he left, he also shouted the words "Sword God", at this time, the old sound reappeared, how many sword saints are there in the world? As soon as the two sides verified, there is no doubt that the person must have been a bamboo leaf!

Thinking of this, the cold sweat instantly soaked my back: When Zhuye saw me, I was in the general's mansion of my daughter's country, and at this moment, I was the fifth elder of the Honglie Empire's historians.

Almost at the same time, Bamboo Leaf also shouted violently: "It's you! ”

I was taken aback, and before he could say anything, I flew up and pounced: "It's not me!" ”

Fortunately, no one else could understand our unfathomable conversation, and no one could take care of it - the old man in red and the bamboo leaf were distracted, and the Hegis soldiers in the south and west directions were less in charge of the big array, and the bow and arrow could no longer pose a threat to the Binding Guard, one side wanted to take advantage of the situation to get out of trouble, and the other side did not retreat, and the two sides had a head-to-head confrontation for the first time on the slope.

I'm afraid that the bamboo leaves will expose my identity, and I can't help but say that rushing up is a fierce attack, but the Buddha's light shines most on defense and preemptiveness, my clumsy kung fu in the eyes of the bamboo leaves is probably worse than the three-legged cat, often my side of the trick just handed over to the bamboo leaves, and finally have to rely on the Buddha's light to barely protect themselves, a moment of chaos, a few times even to the extreme, the words of ink at this moment in my mind Huang Zhong Da Lu sounded:

"Although your sword qi is strong, there are at least 20 people on the continent who can defeat you with moves!" I don't have half a point of sword qi now, I believe that with Zhu Ye's ability, he will definitely be able to rank among these 20 people, if he wants to kill me now, it will be the best time! But after a dozen moves, I found that Zhu Ye seemed to be a little timid, the two of us have never fought with me for so long, obviously I have obvious flaws, he only needs to add a punch and a palm to lock the victory, but he seems to see me like a snake and scorpion, and never dare to touch my skin. I understood the truth as soon as I thought about it - although the bamboo leaf martial arts are high, but he is as timid as a mouse, I had the rank of sword god at the beginning, and I was so scared that the bamboo leaf retreated at the touch of a button, which shows that he has a preconceived idea in his heart, thinking that the challenge of skipping the level can only be futile, and he does not even have the courage to fight. This is not to blame Bamboo Leaves, on the two continents, level is everything, a sword boy may never have thought of challenging a sword student, a master like a sword master can only be tied up when he meets a sword master, unless you have the realm and strength of the sea like ink, otherwise the challenge of leapfrogging is suicide, the top master of the continent like Bamboo Leaf is worshiped high in the world, but after all, there is still a difference between the sacred, perhaps it is precisely because Bamboo Leaf is already at the top of the ivory tower that he will really understand the difficulty of this hundred feet to go further, So his move can only be said to be a wise move.

The old man in red saw that Zhu Ye had wasted opportunities again and again, and said, "Brother Zhu Ye don't have to scruple, Shi Di is not good when he carries his sword qi!" Killing him right now is a good opportunity! ”

I was startled, I wouldn't be so surprised if he couldn't sense my sword qi and said that I was a fake sword god, but he actually knew my biggest hidden danger, this secret was only known by a few people except for my mother Su Jing, how did he see through me?

"Shut up!" Kumei turned the Qingxuan Sword into a 10,000-point green mang and attacked the old man in red, and the other party only moved back half a step indifferently, it seems that the gap between Kumei and others is not small, if there is no Qingxuan Sword to help, maybe the winner will have been divided.

Zhu Ye was still a little hesitant after listening to the words of the old man in red, and Wei Wuji said with compassion: "Brother Zhu Ye is better to be careful, this kid is the most capable of being a scoundrel, especially beware of his use of indiscriminate means." ”

Zhu Ye's face changed even more when he heard this, and Leng Ding shook his way and walked away with a slanted stab.

Seeing this, the old man in red raised his eyebrows angrily, and said suddenly: "There is not enough success, and there is more than failure!" "I don't know if it's Wei Wuji or Bamboo Leaf.
