Chapter 173: Between Life and Death
At the foot of the mountain, on the side of the avenue. Chu Jiangmian didn't move and whispered to Murong Qiancheng beside him, "Hurry up and leave, get out of here!"
Then, slowly, he pulled out the sword he had with him, and watched as the woodcutter on the other side put down the bundle of firewood he was carrying. Almost out of an instinctive reaction, Chu Jiangmian felt a huge threat at the first glance when he saw this person dressed as a woodcutter. He didn't know why he felt the way he did, but it was so strong that it was irresistible.
Murong Qiancheng, who had just seen Xiao Li go away, didn't realize what was going to happen. Hearing Chu Jiangmian's urgent urging, she was shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Why, aren't you going back with me?"
"There's a guest coming...... Perhaps, uninvited guests! ”
Sensing the special meaning in his tone, Qiancheng finally felt that something was wrong. It's just that she followed his gaze and looked at the woodcutter, an ordinary person, and there was nothing special about it. However, what the other party said next made her heart tense all of a sudden.
"King Zhao's reputation has been thunderous recently, but he didn't expect to be so young, it's really amazing!"
"Sigh what?"
Chu Jiangmian casually protected Murong Qiancheng behind him, and asked with a faint smile. As soon as the other party spoke, he already understood that his feelings were not wrong. This person, who brings a huge sense of oppression to himself without moving, is definitely a terrible enemy.
Chu Jiangmian now regretted a little in his heart. After all, I was too careless! Originally, it was thought that after a few hostile vassal states had suffered a major blow, there would be no major action in a short period of time. But he just neglected it, the existence of some powerful people in this world cannot be speculated by common sense.
"I sigh that Chu Lie gave birth to a good son! I also lamented that the things in this world depend on blessings and misfortunes, and life and death are ......unpredictable. ”
"Don't you think it's funny that you, a person who pretends to be a woodcutter, don't you dare to show your true colors, but here you pretend to be profound?"
Now that it had been concluded that it was the enemy who came, Chu Jiangmian relaxed instead. Sensing Chijo's nervousness, he took her hand, but his eyes never took off the place where the woodcutter was standing. Hearing his sarcasm, the other party burst out laughing.
"If you're so smart, can't you guess who I am? Chu Jiangmian, think about it, how many people are there in the world who can casually enter and exit the Nine Elements Mountain, which is strictly protected by the Thousand Machines Pavilion of the Zhao Kingdom, without being discovered? Hahaha! ”
As he spoke, the woodcutter waved his hand and returned to his original form. It turned out to be a middle-aged man who was handsome and handsome, with a bit of majesty in elegance. Although there was no trace of murderous aura on his face, the invisible momentum exuded from his body made people dare not look at it directly.
"Is this guy amazing? We...... Run! ”
Murong Qiancheng tightly grasped Chu Jiangmian's arm. She knew that the man was right. Within a radius of dozens of miles around here, they were all strictly guarded by the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. Moreover, with Pang Tuo, Bai Ye and others close protection, Chu Jiangmian's safety is naturally worry-free. But now, this man has come to him silently. Although it was said that because of the farewell to the Tiger Army, Chu Jiangmian did not let Pang Tuo and them follow, and it was not surprising that they did not find it abnormal. But even the ubiquitous Thousand Machine Pavilion spies did not alert the enemy in advance, which was enough to show how powerful this middle-aged man was.
"Don't be afraid. No matter how powerful a person is, he has not encountered it, if he really wants to kill people here...... Hum! Is it that easy? ”
Having said that, Chu Jiangmian actually smiled bitterly in his heart. He had probably guessed the identity of the person who came. If he didn't guess wrong, then the other party really wanted to kill him at all costs!
"I don't want to know who you are, let alone why you're here. If you leave now, it's still too late. Otherwise, if there are any consequences, you and the country you represent will probably be unlucky! ”
"Is this a threat? Or is it a bluff to embolden yourself...... Hehe! Even if you may have this ability in the future, but unfortunately, this kind of intimidation of yours may not be able to achieve your wish. Because, you're going to die! It is impossible for a dead person to pose any threat to other people or to the country. Isn't it? ”
Wu Pingjun, who came secretly from the Qin State, comforted Wuzi, and there was no smug look on his face. Although he had decided to cut off the head of the young man opposite him immediately, he did not despise the other party because of this. No one has ever died under his sword, and Chu Jiangmian can die in his own hands, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and he has never insulted his identity.
Chu Jiangmian also laughed. He saw the murderous intent in Wei Wuzi's eyes, and even felt the incomparable momentum that rushed to his face. This is probably the most powerful master he's ever seen, right? I'm afraid even Jizi and Pang Tuo are not their enemies!
But he didn't want to die now, so no one could kill him. Even if it is the first in the world and the last resort, it is not good!
The next moment, Chu Jiangmian picked up Murong Qiancheng and jumped on the war horse. Without the slightest hesitation, the sword in his hand stabbed directly into the horse's buttocks. The horse was frightened, roared, and ran along the mountain road.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Wei Wuzi couldn't cry or laugh. He didn't expect that this King Zhao would be so disrespectful and run away when he said he would run away. This is a little different from the situation he expected! As the successor of King Chulie of Zhao, shouldn't he be better than broken jade, not for the whole tile, fight to the death, and never bow to the evil forces? This also ...... It's so damnable!
Wei Wuzi, who reacted, where could he let him escape so easily. With his feet in the mountains and rocks, his body turned into a goshawk, condescending, and walked against the wind! In a few breaths, Kankan had already caught up with the fierce horse that was running wildly.
Wei Wuzi let out a long laugh in mid-air, moved his palm like a knife, and slashed down in the air. His lifelong cultivation is extraordinary, and his palm is fierce, no different from a sword. Chu Jiangmian felt the coldness in his back, and when he was secretly surprised in his heart, the long sword in his hand stabbed out with all his might. I heard a slight "click" in my ears, but it stabbed into the air. When he glanced at it, only one hilt of the sword remained, and the rest of it was broken inch by inch, and he didn't know where it had flown to.
With just one move, Chu Jiangmian understood that the enemy's strength was beyond his imagination! The few strokes he learned from Ji Zishou were of no use at all in front of such a master.
It's a pity that I didn't prepare in advance, otherwise why be afraid of him! Aren't characters like Xuanjijia and Lu Hongmeng still dead? Chu Jiangmian regretted it while continuing to rush forward. Now we can only hope that the speed of the war horse can get rid of the volley of Kai Comfort Wuzi. Perhaps, if you slow down, you can be rescued.
Wei Wuzi's laughter continued, his breath was indeed long, after smashing the long sword, his body did not pause at all, and the huge figure continued to sweep over with overwhelming killing intent, and the sand and dust brought up by the surrounding zhang yu seemed to be obscured by the light. However, just when his palm was about to grab Chu Jiangmian's neck, he suddenly saw the other party's arm move, almost without warning, and a dazzling light rushed straight to the door, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking of the strange death of the two Great Elders of the Hook Annihilation Division, his heart spun at will, and his body dodged obliquely like a sharp arrow, and then landed steadily on a rock next to him.
"Could it be that Chu Jiangmian really knows what kind of witchcraft?!"
That was the first thought that crossed his mind. Because he believed that he was not mistaken, the light that suddenly appeared just now was too scorching, and it was definitely not emitted by any sword edge in this world!
However, to the surprise of Wei Wuzi, Chu Jiangmian didn't even look back, and continued to flee forward. And he himself has no injuries all over his body. Could it be that this guy just played a trick on him? After all, Wei Wuzi is very incomparable, after a little hesitation, his body did not stay, he lifted his breath and jumped a few feet, and once again pounced from top to bottom. All this happened in an instant, although the war horse ran fast, but after all, it was faster than the full force of this supreme master!
Chu Jiangmian was secretly taking chances. He was holding a small square mirror in his hand, which he had always carried with him, wanting to have a suitable opportunity to give it to Murong Qiancheng. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it was of such great use, and he temporarily forced back the pursuers behind him.
It's just that before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a terrifying momentum falling from the top of his head, and he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, hugged Qiancheng and jumped down from the horse desperately. Before his body could hit the ground, he could already hear the mournful sound of the war horse in his ears. It turned out that in the blink of an eye, the horse was stopped and cut into two pieces!
Chu Jiangmian hugged Murong Qiancheng and fell heavily into the grass, rolled a few times, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his whole body felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. Jumping off a horse to escape under such circumstances is an extremely dangerous act, and he has to try not to hurt the woman in his arms, and it is inevitable that he will be injured.
Wei Wuzi floated to the ground, his long sleeves moved slightly, and the dragon snake soft sword drawn from his waist swallowed a cold glow. Breaking a horse with a sword is just a slight trick. Seeing Chu Jiangmian pushing the woman in his arms aside and trying to struggle up, he smiled coldly and stabbed directly with a sword. The main purpose of his trip to Zhao was to kill the king alone, and return to Feng'an City! Since there was such an opportunity in the Nine Elements Mountain, how could he let it go!
Chu Jiangmian turned his back to the sky, heard the mountain wind whistling, and his ears buzzed like thunder. He watched as the sword seemed to come from outside the sky, and just as it was about to penetrate his throat, a wisp of green silk blocked his vision and the sword light. The soft face smiled sadly, and the warmth splashed on his face, and the starry eyes became dim.
"Thousand Cities ......!"
His eyes were bloodshot.
