Ma Jiayun jumped down from the small building, but did not climb over the courtyard wall and fled with the rest of the snake spirit, but quickly hid in the firewood room of the house, lifted the pyre, and burrowed into a dark cave below.

When the twenty or thirty warriors in the courtyard heard the news of the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, they quickly woke up from their sleep, hurriedly put on their clothes, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the room, and ran towards the wall.

Everyone knew that the imperial army would definitely arrange manpower at the gate and the side gate, so they chose to jump over the wall and escape. Anyway, these people are not bad, and it is not a problem for several people to jump over the half-zhang high courtyard wall together.

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, on the contrary, it was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops of soybeans sprinkled on the newly dressed snake spirit warriors, making them feel even colder.

In the blink of an eye, these snake spirit warriors tragically discovered that the thousand knights were blocking every alley and street near the mansion. In groups of three, the soldiers with guns and knives lined up in a neat array, supplemented by javelins, shields and other weapons, both long and short to make the unprepared snake spirit warriors restrained.

"Kill," a samurai slashed a shield in front of him with the sound of the wind, slashing the thousand knights in half.

A spear and a viper-like lightning pierced the samurai's body, and blood flowed out.

Ge Fushun drew his spear and waved his hand to order the soldiers next to him to follow, chasing and killing the remaining snake spirit warriors who scattered and fled.

Ma Jiayun did not flee with the crowd because he had a clear understanding of the situation. Since it is clearly known that this is the lair of the snake spirit, the imperial court must have sent a seven-rank grandmaster-level master to help deal with the "snake spirit" Li Ruoxue who may be here. Ma Jiayun didn't think that he had escaped at the hands of the Seventh Rank Grandmaster and so many elite soldiers.

After running along the dark tunnel, he got out of the backyard of another house not far from the nest, covered the hole, Ma Jiayun ran quickly to the wall, jumped over the wall, and ran towards the west, when his heart suddenly moved, and he felt that there was a master lurking there not far ahead.

"The green snake, one of the six snake heads?" Dressed in black and holding a black short sword, Yang Siqiao jumped down from the roof of the house like a ghost, blocking Ma Jiayun's way.

Yang Siqiao is proficient in the art of stealth, and was sent by Yuan Xingchong early in the morning to keep an eye on the leaders in the snake spirit's lair. So, he hid on the roof of a house not far from the nest, stared at the two-story building where Ma Jiayun was, and saw Ma Jiayun jumping out of the small building, knowing that this was a master, and it was likely to be the "green snake" that Li Rong said. According to the plan that had been formulated, Yang Siqiao hid in the high place to the west of the nest, waiting for Ma Jiayun's arrival. Of course, Ma Jiayun is going to the east, and he will also meet Li Rong, and the same is true when he goes south.

"Hmph", at this time, Ma Jiayun had no intention of asking why Yang Siqiao would block in front of him like a god, and a long sword with a blue light on the body of the sword suddenly came out of its sheath, turned into a green rainbow, cut through the rain, and hit Yang Siqiao directly.

With Ma Jiayun's vision, he has long seen that Yang Sixuan's martial arts realm is only five grades, and it is only right to go all out to kill a way as soon as possible.

Yang Siqiao's body moved, and the black short sword trembled at high speed, emitting a light full of destruction, not to mention a black light that could not be concealed in the dark, and the black light did not show weakness in meeting Qinghong.

"Shadow Sword," Ma Jiayun exclaimed.

Qinghong collided with Heimang, Qinghong had the feeling of being swallowed by Heimang as if it had touched a black hole, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

It was really surprising that the sword qi wielded with the full strength of Ma Jiayun's six-rank realm did not fight the blow of Yang Simiao's fifth-grade master.

However, Ma Jiayun knew that this was not a surprise. The Heavenly Absolute Sect's "Shadow Absolute Sword" has such characteristics, otherwise it would not have become the Heavenly Absolute Sect's Zhen Sect Peerless Sect, a swordsmanship that only the sect master can practice.

Just when Ma Jiayun was amazed in his heart, Yang Siqiao trampled up without fear, and his figure instantly conjured up several phantoms, the phantoms almost merged with the shadows in the alley, and the black short sword swung out several black sword qi. This time, the black sword qi did not emit that special light, but merged with the darkness, as if it had disappeared from the physical texture, but the astonishing sharpness seemed to be omnipresent, cutting Ma Jiayun's body. What was even more strange about the sword qi was that it didn't cause a single sound, as if it was traveling through a vacuum.

"Ape playing with the water curtain," Ma Jiayun was stimulated by the black sword qi and narrowed his eyes slightly, busy gathering his central spirit, the cyan long sword in his hand danced several sword flowers, and the dense raindrops flew with the sword qi to form a water curtain composed of sword qi, protecting the whole body.

"Dangdang" The blue and black sword qi collided, and the sword body struck loudly and found a dull sound.

Ma Jiayun knew the characteristics of the "Shadow Sword", one was extremely fast, and the other was a concentrated blow. In the shortest possible time, the fastest speed to send out a full force attack, with attack power, the lethality is extremely powerful, but the corresponding durability is poor, not durable combat.

It's a pity that Yang Siqiao doesn't lack time, but Ma Jiayun has to rush to escape from here.

The fierce battle near the snake spirit's lair did not attract the attention of Yuan Xingchong and Izumi Xiancheng. The battle between Yang Siqiao and Ma Jiayun attracted the attention of Yuan Xingchong and other bigwigs.

Just when the two were fighting, Quan Xiancheng, Yuan Xingchong took Li Rong, and Yang Zhiyi surrounded them.

"It seems that the snake spirit Li Ruoxue is not here," Yuan Xingchong said, "The person below should be one of the six snake heads, and the six-rank master is not bad." ”

"Bell" Yang Siqiao's short sword slashed on the stabbed Qinghong, and flew back to the outside of the zhang with strength.

The two white-clothed masters had already approached, and their breaths were tightly locked on Ma Jiayun.

"Ice Spirit Yuan Xingchong," Ma Jiayun put away his sword and retreated, looking at the two white-clothed men with a wry smile on his face, "Zuowei General Quan Xiancheng, two seven-rank grandmasters, the imperial court really looks down on our snake spirits." ”

"What we want to see is Li Ruoxue, of course, the snake spirit's snake head is also good," Yuan Xingchong laughed, "At least this time we didn't return empty-handed." ”

"How did you find me?" Ma Jiayun asked.

Yuan Xingchong smiled silently, and everyone did not answer.

Only Li Rong knew what Ma Jiayun was asking, he was testing whether the person who was following him the night before was one of the people in front of him, and then confirmed whether Le Sihui was exposed.

Li Rong didn't tell Yuan Xingchong about Le Sixuan. After all, when it comes to an important minister of the court, it is not something he can easily decide. Besides, Yang Siqiao also knew about this, and the two needed to act in unison.

"Why is Emperor Taizong's merits world-famous, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are favored by him, but his country is being stolen?" Ma Jiayun didn't ask any more questions, but said.

He seemed to have given up on his plans to escape. The two Seventh-Rank Grandmasters in front of him also had several masters who were not inferior to him, and he also knew one of them. It was Li Rong who took the opportunity to capture him that day, and Li Rong alone was difficult to deal with, not to mention Yuan Xingchong and Quan Xiancheng.

"Your Majesty is the descendant of Emperor Taizong, and the country is also Li Tang's country, so why is it stolen?" Yuan Xingchong said.

Quan Xiancheng, Li Rong and others have not answered. Yuan Xingchong's identity is special, and to a certain extent, it represents Wu Zetian's will, and the snake spirit's rebellious behavior is not something that Quan Xiancheng and others can interject.

"Haha, Wu Zetian even killed two daughters and sons, do you still care about this one? The power of the country is more important than anything else in her eyes, you don't need to deal with me with those false words. Ma Jiayun said with a smile.

"How is the Holy Mother of God and the Emperor, how is His Majesty the Emperor, it is not for us to be evaluated as courtiers, I only know that if it is peaceful today and the people are stable, you and other snake spirits are creating chaos everywhere, killing the people, and even colluding with Tibet and Turkic rebellion, which is really a danger to my Tang Dynasty and must be eradicated." Yuan Xingchong said.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Ma Jiayun said coldly, with a resolute expression on his face.

After speaking, a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body fell to the ground with a few splashes.

"He has already cut off his heart," Yang Siqiao jumped to the side of Ma Jiayun's corpse, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and entered a true qi to probe and said.

"Find a place to bury his body," Yuan Xingchong said, "and he can be regarded as a master of the six grades." ”

"Yes," Li Rong said.

Over there, Yu Chi Xiu was in charge of the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the snake spirit warriors by the thousand horsemen.

Without Ma Jiayun, a six-rank master, how could the warriors of the snake spirit be the opponent of Yu Chi Xiu. Under the army formation of thousands of horsemen and the overlord of Wei Chi Xiu, most of them died tragically under the swords and guns, and a few were captured alive.

"Your Majesty, there will be heavy rain in the near future. According to reliable sources, the snake spirit is preparing to take the opportunity to break the dam in the upper reaches of Luoshui, flood Luoyang, and destroy the sacrificial ceremony. If so, is the ceremony canceled or postponed? Yang Jingchen stood beside Wu Zetian and said softly.

"The sacrificial ceremony is a matter of the face of the imperial court, how can it be canceled if it is canceled, and postponed if it is postponed." Wu Zetian sighed.

"Today, Lord Yuan Xingchong said that he had discovered the nest of the snake spirit, and at this time he is personally taking a thousand knights to clear the nest of the snake spirit against the party, hoping to catch Li Ruoxue and completely solve the snake spirit organization, so that the sacrifice ceremony will be safe." Yang Jingchen said.

Yuan Xingchong asked Wu Zetian for the will to send troops before leaving, and Yang Jingchen knew it. What's more, his adopted son Yang Siqiao is also involved.

"Snake spirit Li Ruoxue is so easy to catch?" Wu Zetian shook his head, "However, Li Rong's work is really good, and he has made contributions several times, and I want to use it well for him." ”
