Chapter 936: Heaven and Earth
Realizing that the other party was going to scuttle the ship, Ruan Xiu was shocked and subconsciously rushed towards Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's speed was not slow, his body shook, and he ran directly to the window next to him.
Ruan Xiu didn't think about it, he threw the long sword in his hand with a flick of his arm, and went straight to Liu Xiu's heart.
Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, Liu Xiu squatted down, and with a bang, the long sword flew over his head, and with a bang, it was nailed to the plank.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Xiu took three steps into two steps, came to Liu Xiu's back, stretched out his arm, and firmly grabbed the clothes behind Liu Xiu's back.
Liu Xiu returned with a sword, and the blade of the sword slashed towards Ruan Xiu's arm.
Ruan Xiu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and after the sword blade swept over, he reached forward again and grabbed Liu Xiu's clothes again.
As soon as Liu Xiu struggled hard, a click was heard in the ear chakra, and Liu Xiu's crown robe was torn, and he broke free from the robe of the crown robe.
Ruan Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that Liu Xiu's crown was not wearing a middle coat, but a tight-fitting water backing.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised, and he jumped out along the window, and others drew a parabola in the air, and then, with a bang, fell into the river.
Now Ruan Xiu has realized that this whole boat is a trap and trap set by Liu Xiu for himself.
With a roar of rage, he leaped to the window, and in a flash, he drew the sword nailed to the plank, and jumped out of the window.
If you want to talk about kung fu on land, Ruan Xiu can definitely be called top-notch, but when it comes to kung fu in the water, Ruan Xiu is average at best.
But it generally doesn't mean that he won't, with his cultivation, he holds his breath much longer than ordinary people, even in the water that he is not good at, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
It is precisely with such self-confidence that Ruan Xiu will chase Liu Xiu without hesitation and jump out of the building boat together.
Liu Xiu, who entered the water first, had just poked his head out of the water, when he heard a strong wind coming from above his head, he raised his eyes to look up, only to see Ruan Xiu falling from the sky, and at the same time, he slashed down from the air with a sword, directly taking his head.
Liu Xiu didn't have time to think about it, he raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand and took the other party's heavy split.
When! The long sword that fell from the air was slashing at the Chixiao Sword, and this sword directly slashed Liu Xiu.
The powerful impact shook Liu Xiu's whole person into the depths of the river.
His body sank at least seven or eight meters deep in the river before he could be considered to unload the impact of Ruan Xiu's sword.
His body had just stabilized, and several water ghosts dressed in black water quickly swam around him, supporting Liu Xiu's body, and then quickly swim upstream.
When the water ghosts carried Liu Xiu upstream, Ruan Xiuye had already entered the water, he poked his head out of the water, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the water, looking for Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was from the bottom up, and Ruan Xiu was diving from the top, and the two sides went up and down, just touching each other.
It was already dark now, and even though there were lanterns on the boat and on both sides of the river, the visibility in the water was still extremely low.
When Liu Xiu and Ruan Xiu saw each other, the distance between them was only more than two meters.
Before Ruan Xiu could sneak over, two water ghosts had already taken the lead in swimming towards Ruan Xiu, and the two iron forks stabbed straight at Ruan Xiu's body.
Ruan Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness, and when the two iron forks stabbed him closely, he raised the sword in his hand to both sides and opened the two iron forks together.
Without waiting for the two water ghosts to retract their forks and attack again, he took out his sword first, and the blade of the sword pierced through the chest of one of the water ghosts, poking out from behind him, and bright red blood instantly gushed out of the water ghosts' bodies, gurgling, a series of bubbles came out of the water ghosts' mouths, and the body was withdrawn a few times before there was no movement.
Ruan Xiu drew his sword, and the corpse of the water ghost also floated from the water to the surface.
Another water ghost stabbed at Ruan Xiu again, Ruan Xiu twisted his waist, sideways dodged the edge of the iron fork, and then, he returned his sword and stabbed the water ghost's neck.
Even in the water, Ruan Xiu's moves are still fast, ruthless and sharp, and the water ghost with such a good water nature still looks vulnerable in front of Ruan Xiu.
Ruan Xiu killed two water ghosts with two swords, but during the time he was delayed, the water ghosts had already dragged Liu Xiu to the surface, and then people pulled Liu Xiu and swam quickly to the side.
Ruan Xiu glanced up, how could he let them go, he held the long sword upside down, and chased after Liu Xiu with all his strength.
The water ghosts looked back and saw Ruan Xiu chasing after them, and immediately divided several people to meet Ruan Xiu.
As soon as the two sides took a look at each other, an iron fork stabbed at Ruan Xiu's front door, Ruan Xiu turned his head, avoided the edge of the iron fork, and swept out a sword with his hand, cutting a long hole in the water ghost's chest.
The water ghost was in pain, and his body immediately rose.
As soon as Ruan Xiu repelled one person, another water ghost swam on his left and right sides, and two iron forks stabbed his left and right ribs.
Ruan Xiu hurriedly swung his sword outward, and as soon as he picked the two iron forks apart, he stabbed two more forks in his back.
Ruan Xiu had no choice but to sink as hard as he could, narrowly dodging the two forks behind.
Just as he was sinking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, and he subconsciously looked down to see that in the water under him, there were also water ghosts at some point.
Because the light was too dim, he couldn't see the water ghosts clearly, and he could only see the round, bright eyes of the other party, and the iron fork they were holding.
Just now, an iron fork pierced the soles of his feet, almost piercing the soles of his feet.
The intense tingling sensation was rapidly consuming Ruan Xiu's physical strength, and at the same time, it was also rapidly depleting the oxygen in his body.
Ruan Xiu didn't want to fight with the water ghosts, or now he urgently needed to poke his head out of the water and breathe fresh air.
He swung his feet back and forth with all his might, quickly floating upward.
Just as he was about to surface, all of a sudden, a large net came from top to bottom, and around the big net, there was a circle of water ghosts, each holding a corner of the net.
Ruan Xiu saw it clearly, and secretly screamed badly, and his body floating upwards hurriedly dodged to the side.
As soon as he swam sideways less than two meters away, a large group of black-clothed water ghosts swam around him, and the iron forks in people's hands stabbed at him.
No matter how clever Ruan Xiu's martial arts were, it was difficult to withstand the siege of so many water ghosts.
In addition, Ruan Xiu's water nature is very ordinary, and he can't talk about any skills in the water, which undoubtedly greatly reduces his true strength.
Even if Ruan Xiu tried his best, his arms and thighs were still cut by the iron fork.
The severe pain made Ruan Xiu dizzy, and what was even worse was that he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
With all his strength, he swept out a sword, only to see that with Ruan Xiu as the center, a circle of water halos spread out, and the black-clothed water ghosts around him forced them to retreat one after another.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruan Xiu floated upwards regardless of it, and the moment his head poked out of the water, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and inhale heavily.
When he took the third breath, there was another sharp pain in his lower abdomen, Ruan Xiu snorted, without thinking about it, and directly swung the sword out of his hand.
First, blood bubbled out in front of him, slowly spreading, and then, a corpse floated to the surface of the water, half of its neck almost severed by the sword.
Ruan Xiu didn't have time to admire the corpse in front of him, he raised his eyes to look around, looking for Liu Xiu's figure.
Not to mention, he really found Liu Xiu, at this time, more than ten zhang away from him, Liu Xiu was being pushed onto a small boat by many water ghosts.
On the small boat, there was Hua Feiyan, who was dragging Liu Xiu's arm and pulling it to the boat.
Ruan Xiu looked at it, dived back into the water, and planned to swim towards Liu Xiu.
However, now he wants to pass this distance of more than ten feet, how easy is it to say.
I saw that all around him were black-clothed water ghosts, and the number was so large that it was not one or twenty people, but at least one or two hundred.
If it was on land, Ruan Xiu would face one or two hundred people, it would be no problem at all, the worst thing is that now he is not on land, but in the water that he is extremely bad at, and what is even worse is that his opponents, these black-clothed water ghosts, are all elite people carefully selected from the water army.
Looking around at so many water ghosts, Ruan Xiudun felt powerless.
He squinted, and wanted to use the tactic of striking east and west, first feint to his right, and then rush forward by surprise.
As soon as he took an offensive stance against the water ghosts on the right, the water ghosts swam backwards one after another, widening the distance between them and him.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiu was stunned, and then swam forward, and the water ghost in front of him was the same, and as he approached, everyone retreated.
The water ghosts took the initiative to show weakness, so that Ruan Xiu saw a glimmer of opportunity, he gathered enough strength, suddenly exerted force, and swam forward at full speed.
The water spirits did not retreat as fast as he swam forward, and the people no longer retreated, but scattered to both sides.
This is exactly the effect that Ruan Xiu wants, he plans to work harder and walk through the crowd, but what he didn't expect was that in front of him, a square array of water ghosts swam over, there were about seven or eight people, surrounded by a square, and in the center of the square, there was a large net.
After seeing it, Ruan Xiu's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to continue swimming forward, he hurriedly turned around, and swam to his left hand, trying to dodge the big net in front of him.
What made Ruan Xiu horrified was that on his left hand, another square array swam over, and there were still seven or eight water ghosts who opened a large net and came towards him.
Ruan Xiu subconsciously swam backwards, he looked closely, and saw that there were a large number of water ghosts with big nets in front of him, and even on his head and feet, swimming towards him quickly.
This time, Ruan Xiu was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't know which direction to run in for a while.
Only now did he react, it turned out that Liu Xiu had already been on the boat and even outside the ship, and arranged a net for him.
If he stays on the boat, he will sink to the bottom of the water along with the scuttled ship, and if he jumps off the boat to escape, there will be a large number of water ghosts who are proficient in water waiting for him in the water.
Therefore, whether he jumps ship or not, as long as he pedals on the building boat where Liu Xiu is, he doesn't want to run anymore.
No wonder the personal guards who are inseparable from Liu Xiu on weekdays are not by his side, and it is no wonder that the fierce generals of the three armies are not by his side.
Now, Ruan Xiu finally figured out what was going on.
The trap set by Liu Xiu didn't need anyone to help him at all, he just needed to stay in the boat and lure out Ruan Xiu and these assassins, and then his task was to find a chance to jump off the ship to escape, as for the rest, the water ghosts would help him solve it.
If Long Yuan, Xu Ying and the others followed Liu Xiu and stayed on the boat, they would become a burden.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the water ghosts came to Ruan Xiu's approach with a big net.
The first large net was draped over Ruan Xiu's head.
Ruan Xiu swung his sword upwards with all his might, he thought that he could cut a hole in the big net, but he was wrong, this sword cut down, not only failed to cut the big net, but also let his long sword be entangled in the big net.
The network cables that weave these large nets are extremely tough, and if they were on land, they might be able to cut through the nets with strong strength, but in the water, the resistance is too great, and the force of the sword is far less strong than on land.
