Chapter 17: A Glimmer of Life

Duan Lingxiao had already been prepared, but with his identity, if he made a move as soon as I said this, then he would have no face, so he still stood still, wanting to see clearly where the attack came from, if it came from behind, then the distance of fifteen zhang was enough for him to kill Jiang Zhe first, at this moment he had no idea of capturing Jiang Zhe alive, it was better for such a character to let him die earlier.

As soon as my words fell, the position in front of the two guards was only half a step away from me, and suddenly the mud and sand flew, and two figures broke through the ground, and in an instant, they had already protected me behind him, Duan Lingxiao felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously took half a step back, how could it be possible, he didn't even notice that someone was lurking at such a close distance. After the dust cleared, Duan Lingxiao could already see the figures of the two people clearly, but they were two monks who were about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with restrained divine light and mediocre appearance, but there was a resolute and decisive look between their eyebrows. Duan Lingxiao snorted coldly and said, "It turned out to be a Shaolin monk? ”

At this time, Jiang Zhe Qingyue's voice sounded: "Master Fazheng and Master Fa Ren are the eighteen Arhats of the previous generation of Shaolin, after a battle with the master of Fengyi Sect a few years ago, only a few people survived, and the two masters went through this battle, Zen Gong was refined, and the Buddhist martial arts were the most refined and convergent, so they could hide from the eyes and ears of the eldest prince, but the eldest prince rest assured, the two masters admitted that they were not your opponents, so Jiang also invited another master to come to help." ”

Duan Lingxiao's heart sank, these two monks had fought with the Fengyi Sect Master to the death, and it was difficult to deal with them if they survived, and he couldn't imagine that Jiang Zhe still had a master hidden. At this time, a calm voice came from behind him: "Poor Dao Zhang Jinxiong has seen Duan Dagongzi. Then a soft voice said, "Emei Ling Zhenzi has seen Duan Dagongzi." ”

Duan Lingxiao's figure flashed, he had already stepped back, and then turned sideways, looking at the two people behind him, only to see that from behind the horizontal line, the two walked slowly, one was a Taoist in Tsing Yi, with a square and powerful appearance, full of energy, and empty hands, and the other was a female nun in Ziyi, with a beautiful appearance, a tranquil expression, and a dusty hand in her hand. Duan Lingxiao couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I didn't expect that Marquis Jiang was really bound to win this time. ”

I was hidden behind Fa Zheng and Fa Ren, and I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth when I heard the words, but I quickly retracted back, these people were selected after I thought about it, this time to attack Qinzhou, in order to guard against the disciples of the Demon Sect, King Qi had already written to the court to ask for the help of the righteous masters of the rivers and lakes, and the most outstanding masters of each faction are often cultivating in their own sects, it is no wonder that martial arts have been practiced to a certain level, and the battlefield battle has not helped the cultivation of the state of mind, and the masters who stay in the army of the Dayong Dynasty are often not the top masters, and there are several martial arts masters who are in the palace, So this time, I specially asked the emperor to recruit some masters in the army, of course, this matter is very secret, and the identities of these masters are very secret.

Shaolin Temple sent the most masters, and there were six of the 12 King Kongs that survived that year, not counting the disciples of other generations. Kongtong was attached to the prince last time, although he was not implicated because of Zhang Jinxiong's lost knowledge, but he did not get any benefits, this time he made a bloody investment, and let the head disciple Zhang Jinxiong take twelve elite disciples of the sect with the army. After Zhang Jinxiong returned to Kongtong, because he experienced a lot of winds and waves, he saw through the world, became a monk, and his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds. Emei is not ambiguous, Ling Zhenzi is the first master of Emei, although he is over forty years old, he is like a twenty-person person, Emei is already perfect, and his dust-blowing skills are famous all over the world.

I wrote a letter to the King of Qi, asking him to send a few masters a day in advance, rush here according to the map on the letter, and then lay a trap and wait for Duan Lingxiao to ambush, of course, I also thought that maybe Duan Lingxiao would not come, but in my calculations, there is at least a sixty percent chance to see Duan Lingxiao, and now he has been ambushed, although these four masters have not been able to enter the innate realm, but they are basically a line of difference (this is the result of Xiao Shunzi's assessment), and then Xiao Shunzi pressed the formation, Duan Lingxiao is difficult to fly.

Thinking of the smugness, I said aloud: "If Duan is willing to be arrested, Jiang is willing to swear that he will not harm each other, I wonder if Duan is willing?" ”

A hint of realization flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes as deep as the abyssal sea, and said: "There is a time for life, there is a place for death, this place is as quiet as a paradise, Duan Mou died here, and he has no complaints, and Hou Ye Jiang is very attentive and admires him." ”

I heard this, but my heart moved, and a thing that I had ignored before came to my mind, I wanted to kill Duan Lingxiao, it was really because his martial arts were too high, and I thought that if it wasn't for Su Qing to detect the enemy's water attack strategy, I was afraid that I would not be able to escape the disaster of flooding, so I was more and more worried about Duan Lingxiao, he was strong in martial arts, if he found out about my arrangement in the future, wouldn't it be a failure, so I didn't hesitate to risk my life, lure him into an ambush, and prepared to kill him. But when the goal was about to be achieved, I thought of another thing, these people only thought about the threat of this person, but forgot that this person was the head of the Demon Sect, if this person died here, then Jing Wuji could actually take action in person, wouldn't I be asking for trouble, as long as Duan Lingxiao didn't die, Jing Wuji would not attack easily unless we attacked Jinyang, so Duan Lingxiao couldn't die, or even capture him alive, so he could only let him leave with serious injuries, so it was in the interests of our army.

When I was pondering, Duan Lingxiao had already made a move, and his body rushed straight to the position where I was standing, as if he wanted to snipe at me in one fell swoop, of course, Fa Zheng and Fa Ren had already been waiting for me, before coming, the King of Qi had a strict order, if the Marquis of Chu Xiang had any three long and two short, no one should think about it, just hidden in the pit and heard Jiang Zhe and Duan Lingxiao talking, the two were already uneasy in their hearts, for fear that Jiang Zhe would have a good one, although they knew that Jiang Zhe was wearing soft armor, and the two were ready to block Duan Lingxiao's blow, they still couldn't help but feel worried, At this moment, Duan Lingxiao will be able to get his hands on it. Just when the two of them made a move to stop each other, the three true qi touched, and Duan Lingxiao had already retreated at a faster speed than the momentum, and his body turned in mid-air, intending to escape. And at this time, Xiao Shunzi, who was the only one who could be better than Duan Lingxiao, didn't care about it, grabbed my side and protected me, and when Duan Lingxiao was about to get out of the four-person encirclement, three red lights flashed, just stopping on Duan Lingxiao's way, Duan Lingxiao waved his hand, the red light pierced through his strong wind, and slowly fell in front of him. Those three red rays of light were the three blood tribulus terrestris shot by Zhang Jinxiong with Kongtong's secret technique, which could pierce through the innate true qi......

Duan Lingxiao saw that the only opportunity had been lost, his expression froze, he stood up to the door, concentrated on facing the enemy, the five of them fought together, Duan Lingxiao was certainly strong in martial arts, and the four of them had already practiced the technique of joining forces to attack, Fa Zheng Fa forbearance was profound, open and close, and almost took on most of the attacks, while Zhang Jinxiong's martial arts went sideways, ruthless and vicious, and had the strongest lethality, Ling Zhenzi's chaotic cloak heart method was the best at defeating rigidity with softness, she was not impatient, relying on light skills to block the periphery, as long as Duan Lingxiao wanted to break through, he would face her pervasive offensive, The four of them joined forces, and it was really powerful. Although Duan Lingxiao is worthy of being the first disciple of the Demon Sect, he can handle it properly and not show his defeat, but it is not easy to get out, not to mention that there is a little Shunzi who is watching and delaying outside.

Xiao Shunzi was by my side, watching this dragon fight, but he didn't make a move, firstly, he was not worried about my safety, and secondly, he was studying Duan Lingxiao's flaws, hoping to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but his mind could not hide from me, I frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with the current situation. At this time, Hu Yanshou and Su Qing brought back more than 20 people, presented six heads, and Hu Yanshou said in a loud voice: "Lord Qiyu, the six people who came with Duan Lingxiao have all been killed, please check it." These people are all martial arts masters, and they should be disciples of the Demon Sect, but we also have three brothers who have been injured. ”

I sighed slightly, alas, when Duan Lingxiao entered the village, the sentry agents I secretly ambushed had already discovered these people who came with him, so when Duan Lingxiao killed my guards and seized the armor, I already knew that he was coming, but I pity those guards, who died at the hands of the enemy at a young age, but I couldn't do anything, and said lightly: "Huyan take their heads to pay tribute to the warriors' souls." ”

Hu Yanshou knew my mind, didn't get up, and said: "We have already known about the ambush set up by adults, and everyone knows the danger, even if you lose your surname, you have no regrets, please don't blame yourself." ”

My heart warmed, and I took a deep look at Hu Yanshou, and said, "If I have to let this person go, won't you hate me?" ”

Hu Yanshou was shocked in his heart, but he quickly said: "The adults must have thought carefully before making such a decision, and the last general and others will not complain." ”

My heart was wide, I looked at Su Qing, I saw her eyes blazing, looking at Hu Yanshou, her expression was a little surprised, and when she saw me looking at her, she said: "My lord is clever, such a decision must have deep meaning, Su Qing supports any decision of the adult." ”

Only then did I put my mind at ease and said, "The people brought by Duan Lingxiao must be good hands, killing these six people is enough to compensate for the lives of our warriors, you should retreat first." ”

Hu Yanshou and Su Qing retreated, and the two of them commanded the Tiger Guards to surround the perimeter and set up a hard-practiced sword formation, if Duan Lingxiao got out of the encirclement, it would never be easy to break through their sword formation. The net has been built, Duan Lingxiao is already an eagle in the net, and it is difficult to get out, but it is difficult for me to decide in my heart whether to kill or not.

After fighting more than 100 moves, Duan Lingxiao's heart was as clear as water, although the four people who besieged him were all masters at that time, but compared to him, it was still far from him, although there was only a line between the innate and the acquired, but it was the difference between the heavens and the abyss, if there were only these four people, fighting to suffer some injuries, Duan Lingxiao was also confident that he could wipe them out, but now there were more than 100 tigers gathered outside, and the sword formation had been formed, and it was difficult for him to get out, and the young man in green clothes standing beside Jiang Zhe, although he didn't make a move, but his cold gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, Duan Lingxiao almost used five distractions to guard against him, the net of heaven and earth is complete, even if the master is here, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body. Now in the sinister situation, Duan Lingxiao only felt a hint of pleasure in his heart, this kind of stimulation on the line of life and death was already difficult for him to appreciate, and this embarrassing situation made him even more excited.

Xiao Shunzi's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, because he had already noticed that the battle situation in the field had changed faintly, although Duan Lingxiao was still one against four, and his four people were still staggered in attack and defense, whether it was attack or defense, it was integrated, as if one person had grown four pairs of arms, but Duan Lingxiao seemed to be confident, and he was always free, although he couldn't break through the siege of the four, but no matter how the four of them used their magic tricks, they were all resolved by him. Although this person is a great enemy, Xiao Shunzi still secretly admires in his heart, he is very sensitive to Jiang Zhe's emotional changes, and he has already faintly felt that Jiang Zhe is a little worried in his heart, so he asked in a low voice: "Childe, I need to make a move." ”

I came to my senses, looked at Duan Lingxiao who was fighting fiercely in the field, his expression was calm, his bearing was graceful, and he said in his heart, if I let Xiao Shunzi capture him alive, I am afraid it will hinder him from making a move, Duan Lingxiao is alive or dead or depends on his own luck, at most, I am facing the Demon Sect, my expression returned to normal, I said coldly: "Make a move, act carefully, life or death." ”

Xiao Shunzi nodded lightly and stepped forward slowly, Hu Yanshou and Su Qing stood beside me knowing the opportunity to protect me, after all, my safety is the most important thing, the martial arts of the Demon Sect are unfathomable, who knows if Duan Lingxiao has any unique knowledge that hurts both sides, if he finds an opportunity to hurt me, even if Duan Lingxiao is cut with a thousand knives, he will not be able to recover such a loss.

Duan Lingxiao's heart was awe-inspiring, he naturally saw the changes outside the field, if Xiao Shunzi participated in the siege, then he would have no possibility of giving birth, but he also knew that this was the only chance to escape, if Xiao Shunzi wanted to join the battle circle, then the four masters who besieged him would inevitably have to make way of a gap, and the enemy's first master personally shot, no matter what, others would be a little lax in their hearts, if they could grasp the moment of encirclement and opening, they could break through, miss this opportunity, and there would be no hope again. But how do you seize this opportunity? Duan Lingxiao had a will to die in his heart, the spiritual platform was empty, and the six senses had reached the most sensitive realm in his life, although his change was subtle, and there was no change in his shot, but the four people who besieged him were all masters who were only one line away from the innate realm, and there were ripples in his heart, and he also knew that he had reached the critical moment of life and death, so he concentrated and focused, ready to let go of the defense line at the most appropriate time, so that Xiao Shunzi could enter the battle. This wordless tension even those ordinary tiger guards who couldn't see the mystery of it held their breath and didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Although I don't know martial arts, but when I was in the East China Sea, I often watched Mr. Sang, Xiao Shunzi and Dong Que and others learn from each other, with my extraordinary six senses, I can see everyone's demeanor clearly, not to mention that the fighting in the rivers and lakes is also a secret combination of the art of war, my heart flashed, and I suddenly understood the key to victory or defeat. When Xiao Shunzi joined the battle, it was the time when the trap I carefully designed was the strongest, and the moment before this change was the weakest, as long as I got through this moment, Duan Lingxiao had already fallen into my grasp. My heart was racing, looking at Xiao Shunzi, who was slowly approaching the five people who were fighting, I was thinking about how to help everyone and break Duan Lingxiao's glimmer of life, my eyes swept away, I had already made a decision in my heart, and whispered to Su Qing beside me: "What is your most powerful sword technique?" ”

Su Qing said in a low voice: "The master once passed on Su Qing's sword technique 'Jade Burning', but Su Qing has not practiced at home yet, so he can't use it at will. ”

Her voice was fast and low, without the slightest hesitation, I felt a burst of appreciation in my heart, sure enough, she was a well-trained soldier, and she did not have the slightest disobedience to Shangguan's orders, and I was not polite to her, and said: "Use your most powerful swordsmanship, and when Xiao Shunzi joins the encirclement, block Duan Lingxiao who takes the opportunity to break through." ”

At this time, Xiao Shunzi had already walked to the periphery of the battle circle, fortunately, he slowed down in order to prepare the four masters to join him, otherwise I would not have time to arrange for Su Qing to block the attack, and Su Qing is worthy of being a disciple of Wen Ziyan, although I don't understand it very clearly, but she understands it, and when everyone is watching the battle situation, she gently moved to the side, pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared at Duan Lingxiao's every move with a pair of cold beautiful eyes, while Hu Yanshou moved one step to make up for the flaws that Su Qing had removed.

At this moment, the four masters who besieged Duan Lingxiao shifted their shapes and transposed at the same time, their bodies were as fast as electricity, and everyone only felt a flower in front of them, these four people had changed their positions, and the originally tight defense line also left a vacant position, and Xiao Shunzi's body was like a ghost phantom, appearing in that vacant position, the five people moved like wind and fire, and the timing of the choice could almost be said to be perfect, but, as expected, it was like the truth of heaven and earth, and the formation was the weakest before it turned to the strongest, at the moment when the battle formation opened and closed, Duan Lingxiao's figure seemed to turn into an illusion, breaking through the encirclement like thunder and lightning, and swept towards the lake like a rainbow of electricity. And at this moment, everyone who saw Xiao Shunzi join the battle was really instinctively wide, and this almost imperceptible flaw was firmly grasped by Duan Lingxiao. The direction he chose was also carefully chosen, although this direction seemed to be a Jedi, but Jiang Zhe was in this direction, so Hu Yanshou and Su Qing, who protected Jiang Zhe, would inevitably do their best to protect Jiang Zhe first, with the martial arts of these two people, it was absolutely impossible for him to take Jiang Zhe's surname with one blow, and Duan Lingxiao didn't think about doing so, he just hoped that Ling Bo would pass by and hide in the dense forest opposite.

His strategy was foolproof, just when he swept past Xiaoshunzi's side, the five of them were shocked, and tried their best to stop him, the two Shaolin monks were shouting and shooting, volleying straight into the air, and the hundred steps of God punched his vest, and Zhang Jinxiong's face suddenly turned red, exhaled, and punched him to the right ribs, this is Kongtong's most profound mastery - Seven Wounds Boxing, this punch hides seven different strengths, if it hits the human body, it can make all the bone meridians broken, but there are no scars on the outside, Ling Zhenzi snorted, and the dust of tens of millions of silver filaments trembled straight, brushing towards the back of Duan Lingxiao's head, and the most threatening was Xiao Shunzi, his martial arts were almost the same as Duan Lingxiao, the Xuantie hairpin had long been no longer needed, and with one finger of the empty finger, a cold and cold true qi pierced Duan Lingxiao's heavy point like a sharp blade. In this small space, all kinds of strength were staggered and agitated, the Tiger Guard soft armor worn by Duan Lingxiao turned into pieces of butterflies, and in the sharp wind howling, Duan Lingxiao successfully broke through the encirclement of five people, and his body turned into an arc, ready to avoid the direction of facing Jiang Zhe, after all, he didn't want to fall into the encirclement again because of angering everyone, and if Jiang Zhe was in danger of his life, that was the thing that could anger everyone the most.

And just when Duan Lingxiao broke through the encirclement, a sword roar broke through the sky, and a black figure volleyed towards Duan Lingxiao's escape route, the sword light was like a spring cloud, and the sword momentum was full of the spirit of being invincible and never going back, when the sword light came, Duan Lingxiao sighed in his heart, punched out, the fist and sword intersected, the long sword of 100 steels broke inch by inch, Su Qing flew back upside down, Duan Lingxiao also took half a step back, at this moment he was only three steps away from the lake, but the end of the world was close at hand, life and death were separated, Xiao Shunzi had a severe frost on his face, has already blocked in front of Duan Lingxiao, stopping Duan Lingxiao, and the four masters have also come together, the five people trapped Duan Lingxiao in it, the battle formation has been formed, and there is no gap. Duan Lingxiao let out a long sigh, knowing that his only chance of life had been cut off. His gaze passed through everyone and fell on Jiang Zhe, only to see him with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was calculated, while Su Qing stood beside him with a pale face, it could be seen that Fang Cai's sword was also a great loss to her. Although it was Su Qing who made the sword, Duan Lingxiao knew that Su Qing did not have the scheming to detect his breakthrough opportunity, and the most suspicious was naturally Jiang Zhe, who could command Su Qing. Unexpectedly, he would also die at the hands of this young man, Duan Lingxiao showed a wry smile.

Looking at Duan Lingxiao, who was forced back to his original place by Xiao Shunzi and the other four masters, my heart finally widened, this Duan Lingxiao is destined to be left here, even if he wants to be captured, he may not have no chance, when he broke through, he must have been seriously injured, Xiao Shunzi and the four masters of the interception can not be easily avoided, now Xiao Shunzi They can't help but feel ashamed in their hearts, and their shots must be more rigorous, if Duan Lingxiao can escape in this situation, then he is only afraid that he can already be listed at the level of grandmaster, but in my opinion, It seems that this is not possible. But I really admire this person, Xiao Shunzi's martial arts may be similar to him, but in terms of experience, it is much worse, after all, he is too young. But after today's battle, he should be able to go further.

After another moment, even I, a person who doesn't understand martial arts, can see that Duan Lingxiao seems to have no strength to fight back, and is just relying on his will to hold on, but Xiao Shunzi and the others are cooperating tacitly and becoming more and more handy. Just when I was thinking about whether to let Xiao Shunzi capture Duan Lingxiao alive, Xiao Shunzi suddenly made a killing move, I only felt a flower in front of me, the situation in the field had changed greatly, Xiao Shunzi and Duan Lingxiao fought fiercely, while the other four surrounded the two of them, waiting for an opportunity to attack Duan Lingxiao's soft underbelly. Before I could react, Xiao Shunzi had already hit Duan Lingxiao's shoulder with a palm, and when Duan Lingxiao's figure staggered back, Fa Ren and Fa Zheng were both Shaolin masters who were proficient in grappling, and took the opportunity to make a move to trip Duan Lingxiao, Duan Lingxiao shouted, and a stream of blue blood shot out of his mouth, Fa Ren Fa Zheng are all Shaolin masters, and they all know a lot about the secret science of the Demon Sect, and they are all trying their best to dodge, avoiding the "Blue Blood Arrow" containing Duan Lingxiao's essence and blood true qi, Duan Lingxiao got a trace of a gap, but Zhang Jinxiong and Ling Zhenzi have already filled the vacant position, Duan Lingxiao lowered his body to avoid Ling Zhenzi's dust, but he felt a pain in his right knee, but it was Xiao Shunzi's finger that was imaginary, and the wind hit the acupoint between his knees, and the cold true qi invaded the acupoint, Duan Lingxiao could barely stand, he knelt on his right knee, and he rolled over, avoiding Zhang Jinxiong's palm when he couldn't make a move. Duan Lingxiao knew that there was no hope of survival, and he also saw that the enemy had the idea of being captured, otherwise the two monks would not have used the grappling hand just now, and the idea of a decisive decision suddenly arose in his heart, as the head of the Demon Sect, the future sect master of the Demon Sect, how could he be captured and humiliated, Duan Lingxiao sighed in his heart, and he wanted to cut off the Heart Sutra. Just at the last moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Stop, or I will kill this person." ”
