Chapter 571: Fighting to the Death, Life Is Like Silk
In July, the autumn wind gradually rises, and the weather should be cooler.
However, this year is a bit unusual, even though it is already July, it is still very hot, the sun is shining at this time, scorching the earth, even if the front and back of the house are full of greenery, not far away is the vegetable field and paddy field, it still makes people feel stuffy.
It wasn't until the evening that the weather cooled down, and Li Mi sat in the courtyard, finally able to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the countryside.
If it weren't for the fact that there are many believers in the village, this village is the fisherman by the apricot tree altar, and the people in the peach blossom garden.
Although he lived in Zhang Xigao's house and protected him closely, Li Mi did not relax his vigilance, in his mind, Qi Changkong was unlikely to come to assassinate him during the day, most of the time at night, so he tried to let the brothers get enough rest during the day, and only at night did he have the energy to guard several major entrances and exits outside the village.
However, Li Mi miscalculated in the end, and Qi Changkong really didn't expect Li Mi to budget his next goal.
When he and Zhou Yu appeared in front of the courtyard gate, Li Mi was already alert, and the two sides just glanced at each other, and then they couldn't retreat anymore!
Zhou Yu hardly hesitated, even if he pulled out a short gun from his back, he was simply decisive, without a word of greeting or nonsense, raising his hand was a shot!
"Bang!"
The sound of the gunfire caused the sound of frogs in the grange to stop instantly, and the whole village seemed to be shaken, and the smoke of the cooking stove was gradually rising, as if it was about to be broken!
Li Mi also rolled to the side instinctively, grabbed the rattan chair and threw it!
After Zhou Yu released the gun, he threw it to Qi Changkong, pulled out the Yitian sword, sneered and slashed through the rattan chair, and stabbed straight at Li Mi!
If it was Li Mi three or five years ago, he was afraid that he had been killed now, but fortunately, Li Mi had experienced life and death, and had studied art in Longhu Mountain for more than a year.
He looked forward to Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong coming early day and night, but he didn't expect them to choose such a point in time.
Most of the villagers work at sunrise and will not be at home during the day, while Zhang Xigao does not need to do farm work, he must be at home, and if they come during the day, it is easy to understand.
But after evening, the villagers go home to cook, which is the time when there are the most people, and they choose to kill people at such a time.
In fact, Li Mi was relieved when he thought about it.
The main purpose of Qi Changkong's killing is revenge, and the more people there are, the stronger the satisfaction he gets for revenge, which is not difficult to explain.
Of course, it is enough to see from this that Li Mi's early interception was indeed beyond their expectations, so after Zhou Yu found out, he would not hesitate to kill him, because he knew that if he delayed for a while, Li Mi's reinforcements would arrive, and it would be difficult for them to escape!
Li Mi will not let them leave easily, Zhou Yu has no mercy to his subordinates, Li Mi will naturally not be soft, seeing the long sword stabbing at him, Li Mi also used his own way to treat others, pulled out his musket, snapped and knocked, and "bang" in return with a shot!
Although they are all one shot, the effect is very different.
Zhou Yu put the gun outside the courtyard, and it was Qi Changkong's advanced courtyard, Li Mi had enough reaction time, and when Li Mi released the gun, Zhou Yu had already assassinated Li Mi, and he was only a sword away from Li Mi!
Of course, Zhou Yu's musket is improved by the new battalion of the god machine, which is more advanced than Li Mi's, and after Li Mi pulls the trigger, the flint shoots the spark and ignites it*, which takes time, although the time is very short, but it is enough for Zhou Yu to respond.
Zhou Yu was too familiar with Li Mi, so he naturally knew that Li Mi had a musket on him, in fact, he didn't think about dodging!
But seeing that Zhou Yu just tilted his head, his left hand flicked his sleeve, but the long sword still stabbed over!
Zhou Yu is a suave person, and now it's summer again, the clothes are very thin, and the sleeves can't stop the iron bullet at all!
The iron bullet burst out of the air, and although Zhou Yu tilted his head, his left ear was still broken, and Li Mi never thought of dodging!
Because Li Mi and Zhou Yu have the same mind, if they dodge by themselves, Zhou Yu will escape with Qi Changkong!
"Poof!"
The sharp and unstoppable Yitian Sword pierced into Li Mi's shoulder socket, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through, and the blade pierced even the shoulder blade!
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Li Mi was really desperate, there were two ways in front of him at this time, one was to take the opportunity to kill Li Mi, in this way, it would take a lot of time, after Li Mi's reinforcements arrived, he and Qi Changkong would most likely not be able to escape.
The second is to draw the sword and leave, sparing Li Mi's life, thinking that he should be able to escape.
Leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, Zhou Yu understood this truth very well, and immediately drew his long sword.
However, the blade of the sword was stuck in Li Mi's shoulder blades, and it was very laborious to pull it out, but instead of retreating, Li Mi suddenly used force, allowing the long sword to penetrate his shoulder, and he actually advanced half a foot desperately!
Zhou Yu knew that Li Mi was going to work hard, and he was also ruthless, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, he was about to twist the blade, and then dragged the sword down, saying that he would cut Li Mi apart!
Li Mi's left hand grabbed the blade of the sword, and the musket in his right hand slammed into the left side of Zhou Yu's head!
"Kara!"
Although the old antique musket was heavy wood, it was still smashed by Li Mi's huge force, and only half of the barrel was left in Li Mi's hands!
Zhou Yu's blood burst out, splashing everywhere, his brain buzzed, and his vision darkened instantly, but he bit the tip of his tongue and shook his head vigorously, but he actually stayed awake, and his vision lit up again!
And such a short moment of darkness is enough for Li Mi!
He grabbed the barrel of the gun with his right hand and slammed into the left side of Zhou Yu's neck!
The barrel of this gun is a sharp weapon for bloodletting, and there is no blood spilling around the wound at all, because a large amount of blood gushes out of the barrel, like killing a pig!
Zhou Yu snorted and wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, so he could only move forward, push Li Mi back, and nail Li Mi to the door panel!
Zhang Xigao heard the movement, just hid behind the door, watched through the crack in the door, and saw Li Mi and Zhou Yu fighting so bloody and cruel, he was also so frightened that his feet were weak, and he just sat down, and the blade of the Heavenly Sword penetrated the door panel, which could be slashed over his head, and almost killed him!
Li Mi tried, but after all, he couldn't break free, because the Heavenly Sword was a sword guard that swallowed the head of a ghost, and the sword guard was wide and thick, and it was impossible for this gauntlet to pass through Li Mi's body.
Seeing that Li Mi couldn't move, Zhou Yu finally let go of the hilt of the sword, first blocked the barrel with his fingers, and wanted to pull it out, but hesitated, but after all, he didn't dare to move, but used both hands to bend the barrel, which blocked the blood flow of the barrel.
In just a few breaths, the two of them did their best, although they were not dead, but they were thrilling and extremely tragic!
Zhou Yu's entire left face was stained with blood, and most of his body was soaked with blood, while Li Mi was wearing a sword in his shoulder socket and avoided the deadly organs, but at this time, he lost his ability to move and was nailed to the door panel alive!
Qi Changkong thought that he was strong enough, but he didn't expect that when he was still immersed in the stunned mood of suddenly bumping into Li Mi, Li Mi and Zhou Yu had already experienced a desperate struggle!
Zhou Yu looked like this, he was also panicked, if Li Mi's reinforcements arrived, they would inevitably die here, and immediately held Zhou Yu and said, "Let's go first!" ”
Zhou Yu grabbed Qi Changkong and said: "I can't go, restrain Li Mi as a hostage, otherwise we won't be able to get out!" ”
Although he was already seriously injured, and he was afraid of the barrel on his neck, he didn't dare to make too many movements, but Zhou Yu still maintained a clear mind after all.
Qi Changkong immediately walked in front of Li Mi and stretched out his hand to pull out the Heavenly Sword, but as soon as he made a move, his cold hair stood up, like a cat with its tail stepped on, dodging to the side, and a shuriken could pass over the side of his head!
"It's Sarutobi Sasuke, watch out for his secret weapon!" Zhou Yu suddenly reminded, Qi Changkong immediately untied the sword bag on his back, held it in his arms, and used it as a shield.
At this time, Zhou Yu urged: "Hurry up, if you can't control Li Mi, we all have to die!" ”
Li Mi also knew that if he could get close, Sarufei Sasuke would definitely choose to kill with one blow, and only when the whip was out of reach, he would retreat and choose a hidden weapon.
Zhou Yu must have seen through this, Qi Changkong was reminded by Zhou Yu like this, so he dropped the sword bag and went to pull out the Heavenly Sword again!
"Qingque'er, are you still obsessed!" If he was desperate, Li Mi didn't have half a word of nonsense, but at this time, he had to interfere with words, hoping to disrupt Qi Changkong.
However, it's a pity that Qi Changkong is no longer the green sparrow he used to be, and Li Mi's words have no effect on him at all!
Sasuke's shuriken kept shooting, Qi Changkong couldn't touch the hilt of the Heavenly Sword several times, Zhou Yu still needed to be reminded, a kunai shot out, and shot Zhou Yu to the ground with a pop!
Sarutobi Sasuke finally slammed into the courtyard quickly, staring at Qi Changkong like a low-lying wild leopard.
Qi Changkong didn't think much about it, with a toe pick, the sword bag on the ground was picked up, he kicked out, Emperor Wu's six swords cut the cloth bag, if it was controlled by an invisible hand, the six swords fired together, completely sealing the place where Sasuke moved left and right!
Sarufei Sasuke could only retreat to dodge the six swords, but Qi Changkong got a chance, and finally pulled out the Yitian Sword and put it on Li Mi's neck!
Ape Fei Sasuke Shicai has been throwing hidden weapons, and he has no long handle in his hand, so he can't block the six swords, so he can only retreat quickly, and it is also thanks to Liu Zhibei and Zhen Mi and others who came later, who beat the six swords of Emperor Wu out, and he saved the day.
Everyone's reaction was timely, but Li Mi finally fell into Qi Changkong's hands!
"Let him go!" Zhen Mi was also in a hurry, and stepped forward quickly, wanting to counter Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu pulled out the kunai and shot it head-on at Zhen Mi!
Zhen Mi twisted her waist stiffly, and only then did she escape the kunai, but in the end, it was a step too late, Zhou Yu rolled to Qi Changkong's side, and it was impossible to subdue Zhou Yu in exchange for Li Mi.
Zhou Yu lost too much blood, his face was already very pale, this bitter shot into his chest, gurgling blood and blood foam, thinking that it should have hurt his lungs, otherwise there would be no blood foam.
However, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if these fatal injuries had stimulated his potential for survival!
Qi Changkong knew that Zhou Yu didn't have much time, if he didn't leave in time and treat Zhou Yu's injuries, he was afraid that Zhou Yu would not be able to keep it, and with a little force in his hand, Li Mi's neck would be cut!
"Get out of here, or I'll kill him!"
"If you kill him, you won't survive!" Liu Zhibei responded strongly, but Qi Changkong used his strength again, the skin and flesh of Li Mi's neck were about to turn out, blood was gurgling out, and he could even vaguely see his arteries pulsating, just a fraction of a centimeter, and the blade of the Heavenly Sword was about to cut off his carotid artery!
"Retreat!" Zhen Mi was really panicked, everyone saw this, so they could only withdraw from the courtyard, Zhou Yu staggered to his feet, and said to Qi Changkong: "Although it is not empty-handed, the things that should be done must be done after all, you go." ”
He took over the Yitian Sword, Qi Changkong's eyes were also moist, and at this juncture, Zhou Yu still remembered the purpose of this trip!
Qi Changkong didn't say anything more, picked up the six swords of Emperor Wu on the ground, kicked open the door, and soon Zhang Xigao's screams came from inside.
