249 Joining forces
Pei Xingyan is right, it is useless to die, what is needed most now is to live.
But Xiao Buyi felt that he didn't seem to be able to live anymore.
He has never despised Zhang Xutuo, and no one dares to despise Zhang Xutuo, but until now, he still doesn't know how much strength Zhang Xutuo has, and he has never escaped so embarrassed.
Zhang Xutuo's strength is like the blue sea tide, endless.
Xiao Buyi took a step ahead, and now his physical fitness is almost at the extreme. He calculated that if he ran for his life, Zhang Xutuo would chase him, although Pei Xingyan was also a rebel, after all, it was worse in Zhang Xutuo's mind.
As he expected, not only Zhang Xutuo, but even Luo Shixin chased after him.
When he ran to the bottom of the mountain, he was already in a mess.
While Zhang Xutuo was running, he still had the strength to shoot two arrows. But Xiao Buyi always has a natural instinct, and when Zhang Xutuo loosens the strings, he changes direction and runs, always a fraction of a centimeter away from a sharp arrow.
This kind of alertness instinct, which does not know whether it is born or acquired, often flashes of inspiration before he encounters the Yijin Sutra, and it is even more acute after he diligently cultivates the Yijin Sutra. After Zhang Xutuo's bowstring sounded, the gods and ghosts could not escape, but Xiao Buyi could always dodge the moment the long arrow was shot, which made Zhang Xutuo helpless.
Zhang Xutuo felt strange in his heart, and only felt that Xiao Buyi's martial arts might be far inferior to him, but in terms of this clever adaptability and keen sense of touch, he had never seen it before. Taiping Dao always starts an incident with a heavenly opportunity, but this heavenly opportunity always has a strange ability, and it is by no means without a cause.
It's just that in this way, it is more determined that Zhang Xutuo wants to eradicate Xiao Buyi.
Zhang Xutuo's martial arts are superb, but every time he shoots an arrow, not only can he not hurt Xiao Buyi, but he distances himself from him, and the surname Suo no longer releases the arrow, concentrating on chasing. He tried his best to chase after him, but Luo Shixin was quickly left behind by him, but he slowly narrowed the distance between him and Xiao Buyi, and when he chased to the foot of the mountain, he was already behind Xiao Buyi.
Surprised by Xiao Buyi's strong endurance and running disease, Zhang Xutuo used his strength under his feet, jumped up, and the longbow in his hand hit Xiao Buyi's back.
Xiao Buyi rolled suddenly, he had already dodged, and he didn't turn back, and rushed towards the mountain.
Zhang Xutuo shouted coldly: "What kind of hero is a hero who blindly escapes? Now like fighting with the two armies, Zhang Xutuo is bent on fighting, but Xiao Buyi is always free from fighting, which makes him feel powerful and has nowhere to go.
Xiao Buyi's feet didn't stop, and he didn't bother to speak, there were strange rocks on the high mountains, but there were not many trees. Xiao Buyi frowned secretly, not knowing if he would be able to run to the top of the mountain.
Fortunately, he has experienced many hardships in these days, and he has not been pampered, and he has run down, full of energy, and not tired.
Suddenly, there was another gust of wind behind him, Xiao Buyi frowned greatly, and listened to the wind to the side. There was a 'bang', and the boulder smashed on the rock, and the fire splashed everywhere.
Immediately after that, the big stones flew one after another, Zhang Xutuo kept walking, kicked lightly on his toes, and the stones on the ground flew up, hitting Xiao Buyi's vest like sharp arrows.
The stone is at the foot of Zhang Xutuo, and it is no different from a murderous blade. Xiao Buyi couldn't run straight for his life, turned around east and west, ran two more steps, and the strong wind behind him hit, as powerful as Mount Tai.
Xiao Buyi was horrified in his heart, knowing that it was Zhang Xutuo who shot with all his might, and he could no longer dodge, so he condensed his strength in his arm, and Huo Ran slashed back.
This time, he really used the strength of his whole body, although it was a simple knife, the wind made a loud noise, and he broke the thickness of Zhang Sutuo with sharpness.
Zhang Xutuo struck with a palm in the air, and when he saw Xiao Buyi fighting desperately, he was not surprised but rejoiced, and struck with his backpalm, hitting Xiao Buyi's single knife.
He made a very clever palm, cut the blade of the knife with the edge of his palm, erased it with the trend, and imprinted a palm on Xiao Buyi's chest.
The single knife is broken!
Although the knife is sharp, the blade is the fragility of the knife, Zhang Xutuo stands like a hammer, and easily breaks Xiao Buyi's knife.
Xiao Buyi only had time to block the vital point in his chest with his left hand, and hit it with both palms, Xiao Buyi felt as if his whole body had been hit by a hammer, and he flew into the air.
**
Xiao Buyi didn't have time to grieve his treasure knife, holding a broken blade and refusing to relax. In mid-air, I felt exhausted and wanted to die, I felt that my internal organs had shifted their positions, and when I landed, Xiao Buyi's blood sprayed wildly, and my bones rolled up the mountain, which showed the heaviness of Zhang Xutuo's blow.
With a 'bang', Xiao Buyi hit the boulder, and before he could get up, Zhang Xutuo was already standing beside him, looking at each other coldly, no longer in a hurry to make a move.
Although it was a successful blow, Zhang Xutuo still sighed at Xiao Buyi's tenacity, his palm was an understatement, although he was divided by a single knife, he was also almost ten percent of his strength, I thought that Xiao Buyi would be shocked by him and die, but I didn't expect his eyes to be full of light, but he suffered internal injuries.
"General Zhang, you won." Xiao Buyi glanced at Luo Shixin, who came from afar, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, "I still can't escape your palm." What kind of heavenly plane, you bombarded it with one shot. ”
Zhang Xutuo frowned, "What did you say?" ”
Xiao Buyi just said his thoughts, knowing that Zhang Xutuo would not understand what aircraft cannon, "You won, why are you still sad, like me, how good should it be to smile before dying?" The look on your sad face, to be honest, is really ugly. ”
"Xiao Buyi, you are dying, and you dare to joke about General Zhang?" Luo Shixin finally arrived and shook his head.
In any case, even if Xiao Buyi was about to die, Luo Shi finally had respect for him in his confidence, and he no longer shouted loudly.
"In the world, you are the first person who can make General Zhang kill him with all his might. Xiao Buyi, although you are defeated, you are honored. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "I'd rather not have this kind of glory, I just want to live well, but at the moment, it seems that I have no hope?" ”
Zhang Xutuo sighed and said: "Xiao Buyi, you are a hero, your scheming is deep, and your strain is extremely rare. I don't want to kill you, but I can't help but kill you. ”
"Can I ask a question before I die?" Xiao Buyi said suddenly.
Zhang Xutuo frowned and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"General Zhang has fought with the Supreme King many times, have you ever seen his true face of Lushan?"
"The true face of Lushan?" Zhang Xutuo frowned again, he didn't know that this sentence was used by later generations, but he still understood what Xiao Buyi meant, "Are you asking me if I have ever seen the Supreme King Zhenren?" Seeing Xiao Buyi nodding, Zhang Xutuo smiled and said, "You are a heavenly machine, and you don't even know this?" ”
Xiao Buyi shook his head blankly, "I'm not a heavenly machine, and I haven't seen the Supreme King, if I knew my fate, how could I not foresee the danger today?" If I am a heavenly machine and know the danger of today, the best way is to find a place to hide, if I hide, General Zhang will not be able to find me even if his martial arts are world-famous and invincible. ”
Zhang Xutuo frowned and was silent for a long time, but Luo Shixin said: "There are always too many people in this world who want to act against the sky, even if they know their fate, they will try their best to resist. ”
"That makes sense." Xiao Buyi nodded, "But no matter if I go against the sky, I am very interested in the Supreme King, and I also ask General Zhang to tell him before I die, and I will be a ghost when I die." ”
"Supreme King, Supreme King......" Zhang Xutuo said hesitantly: "In my opinion, there is no intention of a high king......
Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "There is no king on top, what does this mean?" ”
Luo Shixin sneered: "Xiao Buyi, why are you acting at this time? You have such a deep relationship with Taiping Dao, how can you not understand the meaning of this sentence. Taiping Dao has always bewitched the public, and launched the "Taiping Sutra" to confuse the foolish people, saying that there is no king in this world, everyone is equal, there is no exploitation, it is simply a big joke in the world, how can there be such a thing in this world? When the foolish people heard the slogan of Taiping Dao, they all thought it was reasonable, and they went forward to work for them one after another, like moths to the flames. Taiping Dao has always been the enemy of the country, the gate lord is hateful, but these foolish people don't understand the simplest truth, as long as you have great power, how can you not want to be a king? Taiping Dao used the theory of foolish people to deceive people and rebel, General Zhang is loyal and patriotic, how can he tolerate it? ”
"They're really stupid." Xiao Buyi muttered to himself, smiling bitterly in his heart, he couldn't understand whether it was Luo Shixin who was ignorant or the people who listened to the Taiping Dao Declaration.
"So you haven't caught the Supreme King either?"
"How do you catch it?" Zhang Xutuo said in a deep voice: "You ask me if I have seen the Supreme King, I can also tell you that although I have defeated the Supreme King Lu Mingyue several times and beheaded a few Lu Mingyue, every once in a while, a new Supreme King Lu Mingyue will emerge and kill him endlessly." But although there are many supreme kings, heavenly machines have always been rare, and the old man knows that Taiping Dao is important to heavenly machines, as long as he kills you, no matter how the supreme king tosses, it will be useless. Xiao Buyi, have you finished asking? ”
Although Zhang Xutuo knew that he would kill Xiao Buyi today, it can be seen that he was still calm and calm before he died, talking and laughing, and he was also sorry in his heart, because he didn't want to make a move.
"There is no Supreme King?" Xiao Buyi smiled: "Then who is standing behind you?" ”
Zhang Xutuo saw that he said lightly, with confidence, and couldn't help but look back, whether there was a supreme king or not, he knew that the supreme king and Xiao Buyi were both difficult opponents, Xiao Buyi didn't run elsewhere, but he went up to this mountain, is it also a trick to lure the enemy?
Although Zhang Xutuo looked like an old farmer, he did more than anyone thought. Let's ask him how he can live until now with his courage after fighting for so long?
He turned around, saw that there was nothing behind him, how could there be the shadow of the Supreme King, knew that he had fallen for Xiao Buyi's trick, and heard the sound of a golden blade slashing the wind behind him, but he was not surprised, his feet turned sharply, and he raised his palms to greet him.
Luo Shixin shouted, "Hugh go!" ”
Zhang Xutuo's eyes flashed, and he saw that what was attacking was only the broken blade on Xiao Buyi's hand, but Xiao Buyi was a figure for a moment, and he had already reached the back of the boulder. Luo Shixin was afraid that he was plotting, but he went over to arrest him from the side. Zhang Xutuo grabbed the hilt of the knife and jumped onto the boulder, only to hear Luo Shixin snort, covering his shoulders and staggering back.
Zhang Xutuo was secretly shocked, "What's wrong with Shixin?"
"Watch out for his poison weapon." Luo Shixin shouted.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Xutuo saw Xiao Buyi's arms raised, and he heard the sound of 'gurgling' endlessly, and the shadows in the sky were coming.
Zhang Xutuo was slightly startled, broke off his voice and drank, his hand broke and the knife flew, and he stepped backwards with force under his feet. Rao was like this, and several shadows flew almost against the hem of his clothes. Zhang Xutuo's arm shook violently, and several crossbow arrows flew away, the strength of the short distance was strong, and the speed was so fast, it was only slightly inferior to the arrows he shot. Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but be angry, and said that he was soft-hearted for a while, this Xiao Buyi didn't have soft hands, jumped on the boulder, and found that Xiao Buyi had run out of more than ten zhang, Zhang Xutuo let out a long roar, chased over, and before the top of the mountain, he was behind Xiao Buyi, and slapped it with a palm, Xiao Buyi could not avoid it, so he could only take the palm, and he spit out blood, looked tired, and fell down and leaned against a big tree, gasping for breath, and his forehead was full of sweat.
His crossbow arrows were extremely domineering, and they were used against Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, and Ximen Junyi, and let them return with their feathers, but they didn't expect that they couldn't help Zhang Xutuo for half a point.
Zhang Xutuo walked over slowly, concentrating on Xiao Buyi's hidden weapon, and was about to make a move, Xiao Buyi suddenly said: "General Zhang, can I ask you something?" ”
When Zhang Xutuo saw him repeating his old tricks, he laughed angrily, and with a shake of one arm, he was about to raise his knife and cut it out. His moves are not flashy or fancy, but every time he makes a move, it is very heavy, and people can't help but block it.
Xiao Buyi only then understood the difference between himself and a peerless master like Zhang Xutuo, he still relies on speed and power to win, but Zhang Xutuo has reached the point where he is not skillful and takes people's surnames with every move.
Seeing Zhang Xutuo lifting the knife, Xiao Buyi was repeatedly frustrated, seemed to be disheartened, and closed his eyes with a long sigh, as if waiting for death. Zhang Xutuo was slightly stunned, knowing that this kid was definitely not a surname waiting for death, but he didn't know what the conspiracy was. It's just that he is not afraid at all, the arrow is on the string, and he does not hesitate to swing his knife and cut it down quickly!
**
Zhang Xutuo suddenly took out the knife, the momentum was pressing, and the world was dark, thinking that a knife would cut off people and trees.
The heavens and the earth were dark, and suddenly brightened, and a dazzling light pierced through the darkness, slashed down from mid-air, and went straight to Zhang Xutuo!
The light is extremely bright, like lightning cutting through the darkness, Luo Shixin in the distance, Zhang Xutuo in the near distance are all surprised and inexplicable, shocked by the abruptness of the light, Xiao Buyi is not strange, when the light rises, it suddenly moves, rolls on the spot, people are on the ground, arms are raised, and a few cold lights go straight to Zhang Xutuo's lower abdomen.
Zhang Xutuo snorted, his feet were forced, Huo Ran jumped up, he had already dodged Xiao Buyi's hidden weapon, he was in the air, and the broken knife was horizontal, which had already blocked the light!
'Dang' sounded, sparks shot in the air, Zhang Xutuo retreated against the wind, although he was old and bitter, but between the flashes of his body, there was an indescribable elegance and chic, which made people forget his old age at a glance.
The light was blocked, and it suddenly rose into the sky, only to turn slightly, and hit out again like a dragon, stabbing Zhang Xutuo's chest.
Xiao Buyi didn't give up, let alone wait for death, he strode forward, knowing that his fist and foot kung fu was far from Zhang Xutuo's opponent, and he could only rely on the crossbow arrows given by Li Jing to kill the enemy.
He raised his arm lightly, and the crossbow arrows were shot at Zhang Xutuo's upper, middle and lower three ways.
Luo Shixin was caught off guard, and was injured in the shoulder by Xiao Buyi's crossbow arrow, and he was unable to move, so he just followed Zhang Xutuo and fell far behind. At this time, when he saw that the light in the air would automatically turn, he couldn't help but be stunned.
But when I looked closely, I found that the light was actually a sword, but the sword was in the hand of a man in black.
The man in black was encased in black from head to toe, making him like a ghost in the night, extremely difficult to spot unless he looked closely. This also made him hold a sword in his hand, and at first glance, only a glimmer of light could be seen.
After Luo Shixin found out about this, he already understood everything, this person had been hiding in the big tree behind Xiao Buyi, and only when Zhang Xutuo took out the knife did he suddenly make a move.
But although he understood everything, Luo Shixin saw that the person in the air was ethereal like a bird, and his sword aura was clear, and he didn't know where such a master came out, and he was so good that Zhang Xutuo had to retreat!
"General Zhang, be careful!" Luo Shixin only had time to say a sentence, and couldn't do superfluous actions.
Zhang Xutuo had no time to take care of Luo Shixin, he was also shocked by the black-clothed assassin in front of him, and the most surprising thing was that in his mind, this assassin had no impression.
But there is no doubt that the assassin's martial arts are superb, and he is still above Xiao Buyi!
The assassin's long sword stabbed at him, and he and Xiao Buyi joined forces to strike, so that Zhang Xutuo had to go all out.
Zhang Xutuo was in the air, moved a step sideways, dodged Xiao Buyi's crossbow arrow, broke a shout, and Huo Ran flew out with a broken blade in his hand, hitting Xiao Buyi directly. In an instant, the longbow on his back was already in his hand, Zhang Xutuo took an arrow in the air, his arms shook, and the nine-stone hard bow had been pulled by him for the full moon, but it was not condensed.
The assassin was not afraid, the long sword stabbed like a rainbow, and the jade was burned!
Xiao Buyi rolled on the ground, avoiding the broken knife, but he had already reached Zhang Xutuo's side.
Zhang Xutuo shot hard, and the air was torn apart by the sound of 'snorting'. The Assassin in the air spun abruptly, like a spinning top. Countless black shadows swirled out of the air, and long arrows shot into the black shadows in the air, bringing out a wisp of blood and breaking through the air, but the assassin's sword had already reached Zhang Xutuo's eyes.
Zhang Xutuo snorted coldly, the longbow turned sharply, and the bowstring actually twisted the sword that must be hit.
There was a loud 'bang', the bow cracked and the sword broke, Zhang Xutuo slapped it with a palm, hitting the assassin's shoulder, and with a 'click' sound, the assassin didn't dodge or dodge, the broken sword vibrated sharply, and it had already sunk into Zhang Xutuo's chest!
Xiao Buyi had already pounced, and while Zhang Xutuo was fighting the enemy with all his might, the sword light in his hand flashed, but it was pierced into Zhang Xutuo's ribs! .
**
Zhang Xutuo seemed to stand in mid-air, and the three of them stood frozen for only a moment, and suddenly separated, and the assassin and Xiao Buyi flew out upside down, rolling on the ground like a gourd.
Zhang Xutuo was surprised by the assassin's swordsmanship, but he was even more surprised by his recklessness, completely disregarding his own life.
But after all, he is a peerless master, the middle sword has reacted instantly, and without waiting for the opponent's hand to stab, he struck out with both palms, knocking Xiao Buyi and the assassin away, although he was hit by two swords in his body, the injury was lighter than that of Xiao Buyi and the assassin.
Zhang Xutuo fell to the ground, turned his head to look at his wounds, frowned slightly, Xiao Buyi and the assassin fell to the ground, turned over and jumped up, turned his head and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Xiao Buyi ran quickly, but the assassin stumbled a little, and was dragged by Xiao Buyi to run wildly. Although Zhang Xutuo was injured, he was not afraid, went to the bow and arrow, and chased after him empty-handed, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he found Xiao Buyi and the assassin standing on the edge of the cliff, and slowed down.
"General Zhang, good skills." Although Xiao Buyi was gray-headed and covered in blood, he could still laugh.
Zhang Xutuo glanced at the blood stains under the ribs on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Buyi, good intentions, you ambush master is here, I think you are going to ask for my surname?" I calculated your way, and you even calculated me once. ”
Xiao Buyi sighed: "If you don't kill me, how can I ambush you?" Some things have to be done. But now I finally know one thing, the name of the first master of the Great Sui Zhang Xutuo is indeed worthy of the name. ”
The assassin vomited blood, and suddenly said: "Zhang Xutuo, you are strong in martial arts, you are like a god in the army, and you are powerful in the Central Plains, but I think you are not very clever. ”
His voice was soft, without any emotion, but it was a woman's voice.
"Zhang Xutuo does things without being commented on."
Zhang Xutuo said lightly, but his eyes showed surprise, he couldn't imagine that such a desperate assassin was actually a woman, watching her fight for her life, as if she had a deep hatred with him, she sighed in her heart, and secretly thought that she was fighting in the north and south, blocking and killing in the west, although she had a clear conscience in her life, there were fewer people to kill? Killing people himself, others killing him, he can't figure out what is right and wrong, and with a sigh, he no longer wants to ask who the woman is.
Xiao Buyi shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Eat rice, I just said, in the eyes of a master like General Zhang, any trick is a clown dancing beam, a group of demons dancing, now we have no way out, it is really thanks to you, how is it good now?" ”
"You're wrong." The assassin said suddenly.
Xiao Buyi was puzzled, "What did you say wrong?" ”
"We have at least one way to go." The assassin said coldly.
Xiao Buyi perked up and asked urgently, "What way?" ”
"Jump off here." The assassin stretched out his hand and pointed at the cliff, grabbed Xiao Buyi, and Huo Ran jumped down from the edge of the cliff.
"Ah......h
**
Zhang Xutuo was taken aback, Huo Ran rushed to the edge of the cliff, he was extremely fast, but he still didn't have time to hold the two, besides, he was originally here to kill Xiao Buyi, and he had to beware of Xiao Buyi's plot, so he didn't have the idea of pulling him at all.
The probe looked over the cliff, only to see that Xiao Buyi and the assassin were long gone, and the cliff was steep and bottomless. In the vast darkness of the night, there is nothing to be seen.
Zhang Xutuo frowned and stood silent.
"General Zhang, I didn't expect Xiao Buyi to be so scheming, but they finally died." Luo Shixin finally arrived, his face blank.
What happened this night can be described as thrilling, and it was the first time that Luo Shixin had experienced a hundred battles, and such a dangerous encounter was also encountered.
But Zhang Xutuo can't kill Xiao Buyi now, and it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings. But in Luo Shixin's eyes, the two of them were invincible, and they fell off the cliff and died, which can be regarded as the end.
Zhang Xutuo frowned, shook his head and said, "Xiao Buyi is very cunning, how could he die easily?" He didn't go anywhere else, but ran to this mountain, at first I thought he was in a panic, but the appearance of the assassin showed one thing, that is, Xiao Buyi had already planned. The two of them joined forces, and they wanted to kill me, but when they saw that they were defeated, they fled to the top of the mountain......"
"General Zhang, what do you mean?" Luo Shixin asked.
"They must have left a way to escape under this cliff," Zhang Xutuo sighed and said, "Now that the old man loses, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Xiao Buyi again." I can't kill Xiao Buyi this time, I'm just afraid that I won't have a chance in the future. ”
The mountain wind struck, blowing on people, and the whole body was cold, Luo Shixin was also silent, although Zhang Xutuo repelled the attacks of Xiao Buyi and the assassins with supreme skill, but he was defeated, and his goal was not achieved after all.
"General Zhang, we still have an ambush, Xiao Buyi and the assassin have been injured, maybe we can capture Xiao Buyi."
Zhang Xutuo stared at the distant mountains, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "We can't kill Xiao Buyi with many calculations, what can we do if we bite gold and lead people to guard the valley mouth, alas, it is up to people to make things happen, and things are made in the sky, and the old man is old......"
